Congratulations. 100 episodes plus a whole bunch of extras. I know. It's a big one. 100th numbered episode. Yes. We have done a few bonus. We've made a few. There's been a few specials. Yeah. Yeah. We're well over 100 actually. For the true civilians, these are the ones, the cardinals, the ones that matter.

The numbered ones. These are the test matches. cardinals, the ones that matter. The numbered ones. These are the test matches. Yes, that's right. Funny you should say that. Before we start, I have a quiz question for you. Oh. I just came up with this question before we get into the meat of the episode. Yeah.

I'm going to name nine cricketers for you, and I want you to tell me what they all have in common. Okay. Right? You will have heard of some of them, maybe not all of them, because I know you're not quite as diehard a cricketer fan as myself, perhaps, but you will know most of them. Here we go. You ready? Right.

Colin Cowdery of England, Javed Meandad of Pakistan, Gordon Greenidge of the West Indies, Alex Stewart of England, Inzeman Al-Haq of Pakistan Ricky Ponting of Australia Who gets a special mention on this list Graham Smith of South Africa Hashim Amla of South Africa And Joe Root, the current captain of the England team What have they got in common?

What have they got in common? They're batsmen Are all of them batsmen? Yes, they are. Yes, that's, yes. That's actually a helpful deduction as well. They all captained their country? I'm just looking down the list.

They probably, yeah, I think if Hashim Amla may have captained once or twice. And I don't know if Gordon Greenidge ever captained the West Indies. He may not have actually, unless he filled in once. What else do they have in common? I don't know. They're in different capped in the West Indies. He may not have, actually, unless he filled in once. What else do they have in common? I don't know. They're in different eras. They didn't all play together, that's for sure.

Joe Root's the only one still playing now. Is that fair enough? I think Hashim Amla maybe just retired. I'm not sure. He may still be going. I'm not sure. Our non-commonwealth civilians are totally lost now So you better get to the answer I think I'm

Let me give you a clue It relates to this episode Okay, so a hundred, a century They all have Well, they've all scored centuries, obviously But there must be something more specific than that Yes, yes They scored a century of centuries?

A hundred hundreds? No, no, that's not it. For people, for non-cricket people, an individual accomplishment that one can achieve in a game is scoring a hundred runs in a single innings. That's a bit of a milestone. You know, it's a big deal to score a century in a single game. Can you think about what game they may have scored a century in? In their 100th game.

Yes. They all scored a century in their 100th test match. Wow. So on the milestone of their 100th test match, they managed to also score a century individually. And I said Ricky Ponting was special on that list. Can you guess why? He got a double century. He scored two centuries.

He scored a century in each innings of his 100th test. Joe Root is the only person on that list who scored a double century, over 200 in individual innings in their 100th test. He scored 218. There you go. 100 in your 100th test for our 100th episode. How did you manage to just sneak all that cricket trivia right up front in the episode? That's sneaky. There we go. I just want to make sure absolutely no one's listening before we get started properly. It's funny,

I had a quiz question for you too, which relates to this episode. I'm going to mention nine Nick Cave songs and I want you to tell me what they have in common. So let's get down to it. Let's get down to our 100th episode, because it was Tim who's come up with an idea of what we're going to do for our 100th episode. So, Tim, do you want to share it? Well, I was trying to think of an idea related to a century because it's a very special accomplishment.

And so my idea is really to in some ways summarise many of the things may have been mentioned before, but essentially to lay out for everyone between us 100 magnificent things, 100 of our favourite things, 100 of the best things in the world. And people can use this as a kind of a catalogue to peruse more exciting additions to their life. You know, they can use it to pick and choose the things. To be more Tim and Brady. That's right. So maybe for this episode you'd like to dress up as Tim and Brady Nice

Grow a beard In fact, we've both had haircuts, I think, for this episode Isn't that right? Indeed, we both had one I had one yesterday, you had one today So we're both just looking great Oh yeah, my haircut is about two hours old now and yeah it's looking good i say the difference between a bad haircut and a

good haircut it's about two hours just settles in grows back nicely bedded in yeah but uh yeah she gave me a little bit of a shot when you get a haircut do you get them to do any beard work as well or do you handle all that yourself? I used to, but because you have to wear masks at the moment when you have haircuts, it sort of seems to be an option that's been taken off the table. My hairdresser wears a mask, but I didn't have to wear a mask today. No.

Well, you're in Australia. You guys are just cowboys when it comes to COVID. We are all vaccinated, though, I must say, and there were all the other precautions in place i hope i'm not getting my hairdresser in trouble anyway so tim and i have each listed 50 things so it will be a combined 100 we have not seen each other's lists so there could be and may well be duplication uh oh i just forgot something i just remembered when i wanted to put on my list. What am I going to cross off instead? So you're having to cross something off. What I've done is I've left two strategic spaces

empty. Number 49 and number 50 are empty because I know that I will think of something while we're going through. And I'm not allowed to steal it from you, by the way. I know I'll think of something. It'll come to me and I want to have room to fill them in. But you're having to make room. Are you going to tell us now what you've cut off? Or maybe at the end you want to tell us what's lost now? No, that's cheating because that's a way of getting in all the things you didn't get in.

That's like something you'd do, have like reserves and runners up. You've got to be harsh. You've got to stop. You've got 50 here harsh you've got to stop you've got 50 here i've got 50 um maybe for the stakeholders there can be a bonus episode with 50 other things each that we've crossed off to allow these 50 now tim i'm just going to warn you from the start a hundred things if we talked about each one for a minute that's over an hour and a half so uh just be warned well for those those people that use our podcast to go to sleep,

they're rubbing their heads together going, you've got a good one. Download this one and keep it on the phone, folks. They fell asleep when I was talking about cricket hundreds. They're getting total value. Oh, absolutely. We will speed through these pretty quickly. This will be a fast list.

Yeah, right. You go first. And we'll do a little bell if there's any duplication. Yeah, okay. All right, all right. Well, so here we go. Number one, coffee. I love coffee.

Yeah. Now, this is pretty obvious, but I've gone with, you've got to get the low-hanging fruit early. Absolutely love coffee. Coffee is not on my list, I I've gone with, you've got to get the low-hanging fruit early. Absolutely love coffee. Coffee is not on my list, I can assure you. I didn't hear a ding, no. No, no. No, all right. Coffee. I expected that to be on your list. Actually, I'm not even surprised it's the first one you named.

There is a YouTube clip I know, on YouTube, surprisingly enough, where there is a YouTube clip where you drank coffee for the first time, I know. Someone had me drink it. A friend had me drink it because they just wanted to for curiosity and they filmed it. And that seems to be the YouTube video that I get asked about more than any other. Is it the last time you drank coffee? You haven't gone back to it?

It is the last time I drank coffee, yes. Oh, wow. All right. Here's the first one on my list. Hot dogs. Nice. I nearly put it on my list. I thought there was enough food on it already,

and I thought I've got to diversify a little bit. I know. Last night I was getting my wife to help me think of things for my list, and she listed five or six things and then she said, oh, and about a billion different foods. So I've tried to not go too food heavy. All right. What have you got next?

Ice coffee. Ice coffee. I was going to ask if that was included in coffee, but that's a separate thing, isn't it? You're not just going to do 50 different types of coffee, are you? No, no, it's only the first dozen or so specifically farmers union iced coffee i love iced coffee i have to say i was put onto coffee very early from my dad when i was young i was making coffee given coffees and he drank iced coffees so that i've just had them forever never really got into Coke and those things as much, but iced coffees, yeah, feels like a default drink to me

and I drink too much of it. It's a classic. Have you got one with you now? No, no. I've got a cup of tea. So that's mine. All right. My next one is fighter jets, like military fighter jets,

like in Top Gun and stuff like that. I love fighter jets. And where I live, occasionally you'll see one go flying past in the distance because they're doing like certain tests and stuff. And when you see an actual fighter jet in real life with your eyes and you hear it, oh, yeah, what's better than a fighter jet? Oh, it's phenomenal loud. So fast.

They're awesome. I feel the need need the need for speed number three the color british racing green i love the color british racing green it's my favorite color you get asked your color favorite color a lot when you have kids and yeah british racing it's just beautiful it looks old and looks deep and and coloured and rich and eternal and it's class next for me showers yes in fact let me just check my list hang on i thought of that and i don't know if i added it or not no i didn't i thought of it in the shower so I didn't write it down, but nice. I love having it. I love showers. I'm notorious for having very long showers.

I love it when you go to like a spa type place and they have all different like exotic kinds of showers, different kinds of showers. Yeah, yeah. I love going to a hotel if it's got a really posh shower. Oh, I love showers. Oh, no, there it is. Ding, ding. All right. It is. It is untimely. It made the list. You can talk more about showers when we get to it on your list as well, then. Yeah.

All right. What do you got? Number four, typewriters. I collect typewriters. We've talked about this before. I love old typewriters, particularly 60s, 50s, 60s typewriters. All right. Well, suitably, my next one is also something kind of mechanical from that kind of world most of the time watches yes i love watches you have a lovely

collection of watches yes do you have a favorite um my favorite is probably my omega speedmaster moon watch oh yeah i also do love the old Casio Calculator Watch. They've made a bit of a renaissance lately, haven't they? Yeah. They've had a comeback. All right. What have you got? Ak-Tung Baby.

Great album. This is my favourite album. Yep. Great album. It's a U2 album. Came out in 1991. So, it's 30 years old this year. Yep. In fact, this month.

And it's my favourite album. I've been listening to this album over and over. It's got lots of different sonic sounds. It's got good songs. And it just continually stays with me. A beautiful album, Ak Tung Baby. All right, I'm going to cause you great heartache here. Choose your favourite song from only one.

I reckon my favourite song is ultraviolet light my way which is i think the third last song and it's a real favorite it's probably like with these albums that have you've been listening to for 30 years it's the it's the singles wear out and then there's other songs that are favorites and then other songs come to the fore and I reckon Ultraviolet Light My Way. It's probably the one that's most earwormish for me. I'll just be singing it but I'll always feel like it when it comes on and it's a good song.

Next for me, mint slice biscuits. Arnott's mint slice biscuits. An Australian delicacy. Back straight into the food. Most people would go for the Tim Tam, but I think that's a bit cliched. And I think the mint slice is a superior biscuit. This is a chocolate biscuit with a mint filling. Oh, love, love the velvety mint slice.

I concur. Tim Tam's missing a bit of mint. I think it's too chocolatey. It needs that extra kick. It's too biscuity. The Tim Tam's got too much biscuitiness in it. Yeah. No, nice call.

Nice call. Also one that you can eat in creative ways when you're a kid. You know, you put it in sideways and up to, you know, get the bits off in different ways. Anyway, I won't get sidetracked. My unusual eating habits. You can eat it standing on your head. You can.

Big edit coming up here on this episode, man. Okay, my number six, the Richmond Football Club, the Richmond Tigers. I have a scarf and a beanie from the 80s, the Richmond Tigers, and they were losers all the way along. My cousin departed them to become a Hawthorne supporter. Hawthorne won five premierships, and he thought he made a great decision, and I, in some ways, you kind of like envied that. Oh, gosh, if I'd changed early enough and all the rest of it, you know,

but you sort of stay with the Tigers and then they came through in 2017 and won a premiership and they've won three now. Good on you. You're a true believer. You did kind of, it feels to me a little bit like you did jump on the Adelaide Crows bandwagon for a while, but you kind of had to because you lived in Adelaide and everyone did but you did always you did always hold that candle for Richmond and you were a true believer and it's paid off so kudos to you it was I tell you what

was difficult about being a Richmond supporter in the 80s is we only had like one or two football games broadcast a week into the country and of course of course, it was never Richmond because they – it wasn't the big match because they wouldn't win. So, yeah, actually, I actually grew up sort of not really seeing a lot of them. And then we come to Adelaide and so you can actually go to the footy all the time. And, yeah, you know what I mean? So it's sort of – they're sort of there in a memory and in books

and in, like, magazines and footy records and things like that. Yeah. So anyway, the Richmond Football Club. Next for me, the Eiffel Tower. Oh, yes. I love the Eiffel Tower. And it represents a lot of the things I like, you know, tall engineering structures, history, foreign countries.

It's beautiful. It's iconic. It just represents lots and lots of things that i like and find interesting i think it's a perfect design i think it's just so elegant and beautiful isn't it it's wide base and where the proportions of the platforms are and the spacing it it feels like perfect design doesn't it okay look it up people if you're not familiar with the eiffel tower google it you won't be disappointed introducing you to some of the greats here mint slices and the eiffel tower i'm gonna go number seven is is rummy king right or sometimes it's

called rummy cub this is a board game it's played with a bit like dominoes. There's tiles, and I won't explain the whole game, but it's a really enjoyable game. And my parents played it all the time, and I played it a lot. So it's kind of interwoven with memories and things, but many other things drop away. And I just have to say I actually enjoy playing it. Yep. I'm going to go for meteorites.

These are bits of stone that have made their way Actually enjoy playing it. Yep. I'm going to go for meteorites. These are bits of stone that have made their way to the surface of the Earth from space. Meteorites? Yeah. And I just think they're like these magical things, these serendipitous stones that have made it from who knows where in space all the way to the surface of the Earth. They've gone on an amazing journey and now they're sitting in a museum or on a shelf or on someone's mantelpiece. Pieces of space rock that made it to earth. So a meteor is one that burns up, is that right? But a meteorite makes it all the way. Meteorite, it becomes a meteorite

if it makes it to the surface intact. Interesting. I would have thought it was the other way around, but no, as always, you're just pipping me on the science stuff there. Speculars. These are a Dutch biscuit. They're very commonly available. You get them in supermarkets everywhere, but they're very cinnamon-flavoured Dutch biscuit. Speculars. And one of those with a coffee is heaven.

All right. I'm going to go for music videos by the band OK Go. They make unbelievable music videos. I love them. So many, too many to even name, but I'll put some in the show notes. They're famous for making music videos that are usually one take and they usually do something really remarkable and you think, I can't believe they managed to do that in one take. They really, really pushed the boat out. If you have not seen the music videos by OK Go, do yourself a favour. They're extraordinary.

I quite like their music, but, you know, I probably wouldn't have known much about their music if it wasn't for their remarkable videos. Nice, nice. Good stuff. I have to read this one. The Uniball Vision Elite Pen. I have to read this one, the Uniball Vision Elite pen. Now, I'm a reasonably recent convert to this particular pen.

I have for many years been using a Lamy pen, which is sort of like a German branded pen. And they kind of look cool, but I tried this pen because Barack Obama made it known that this is the pen that he wrote his recent memoir in longhand. And I thought, man, if he can write a book longhand with a particular pen and like it, it's got to flow well. So I bought a few and I've become totally addicted. The flow and the ease and the ink distribution and injection. And I'm a whole new calligrapher now with my Uniball Vision Elite pen. I love them. Hashtag not an ad. Not an ad. Although, Mrs. Uniball, if you're out there and you would like to send me some,

feel free to do it because they're not cheap, but they are quality, and they do last a little while. Do you have a favourite pen or do you? The Bic 4 colour. Oh, yes, of course. Always the Bic 4 colour. Yeah. All right. Next on my list, train tracks. I love the look of train tracks. When I was young and really got to see them, just seeing train tracks

was exciting. Walking across a train track was amazing. I love train sets. I love train maps and networks of train tracks and rail lines and things where they are. But just in general, I just love the look of train tracks. I love pulling into an English railway station and there's like 30 train tracks all branched out to different platforms. There's just something exciting though, just about looking at a pair of train tracks, even if there's no train there. There's just something about train tracks that just makes me happy. And they also kind of represent all the effort and labour, the precision of laying them. Everything about train tracks is wonderful. Everything about train tracks is wonderful.

Everything about train tracks is wonderful. Everything about train tracks is wonderful. That's great. You know, in Adelaide, how the Stobie poles, our lamp posts, are actually made out of train tracks. Did you know that? I think I did, but I may have forgotten. Stobie poles, yeah, they're like the lamp posts, the electric cable carrying posts of Adelaide

are quite distinctive. Stobie poles, they're quite famous. Well, famous to Adelaideans. They're like two railway tracks with concrete between them. They're very weird looking when you think about it. They are hideous as posts, but they are wonderful when they're on the ground with a bit of lumber underneath them and a train on top. Nice work. Stobie poles are also an excellent way to make sure there's absolutely no chance whatsoever that you will survive a car accident. All right. one is pretty predictable we had to get it at some stage but i have to tell the truth i love kfc i don't know if people have picked that up yet i mean

i know i've kept it under wraps but it's just true it's just true it's still true even though we joke about it i have to say I do love KFC. When did you last have KFC? I can't remember. A few weeks ago. It was lunch, wasn't it? No, it wasn't. It wasn't.

There was a tempting moment tonight because tonight it was like the family was heading off to a prearranged event and I had to, you know, get dinner for myself before coming to do this so there was that little moment of freedom where it was like oh hello but no no went the McDonald's instead yeah I got a burger from grilled all right then next for me I've kind of kept this one broad so that I could capture a few different things into it. Next for me is accounts of disasters. Okay. bridges that collapsed. And then later in life, I got quite into TV shows like Air Crash Investigation because I'm really interested in plane crashes. And more recently, I quite enjoy

Wikipedia articles on things like, you know, 9-11 and stuff like that. But I really enjoy reading detailed descriptions of terrible events. I'm not happy that terrible events happen, but they do happen. And I find it very gripping to read about them for some reason. No, that's it. That's it. The countless documentaries means that you're not alone there. You need not be ashamed of your macabre fascination. No. Yeah. Moments from disaster and things like that. Yeah. Anyway, accounts of disasters. I do find them gripping. gripping dogs i love dogs ding i've got dogs as well of course dogs are so obviously superior to cats that i i can't believe people even i know there are lots of animals in the animal kingdom but i feel like they're the two that are sort of competing you know know what I mean? They're on the same level. And dogs are clearly the winners. Dogs are wonderful.

I know people love cats and I have good friends that are cat people and I still keep them as friends and I know they love their cats. But I just don't know why they don't get a dog. I like cats too. I've had a cat when I was younger. I like cats. I'll stroke a cat and cuddle a cat. But dogs are clearly superior.

I also don't know. The only reason I nearly didn't put dogs on my list was because I was going to break it into breeds and have a few different breeds of dogs. But in the end, I just went for dogs overall. Yeah. Yeah, me too. All right. Dogs are the best people. Next on my list, telescopes.

And I'm going all types of telescopes here, small ones, handheld ones, all the way through to huge industrials, you know, huge ones that you have on top of mountains in Hawaii and stuff like that. I just love telescopes. I love the design of them. I love the way they work. Obviously, I love what they do, the purpose of them. Everything about telescopes is just awesome. And also just, you know, it's a really good example of a way that humans changed the way they looked at the universe. You know, for the longest time, we just looked at the sky and saw these sparkling lights. And as soon as we started making telescopes, things like the moons of Jupiter, Saturn's rings came into view. And then as we got more and more powerful, we started seeing other galaxies deeper and deeper into the universe.

They're a really important thing as well. Telescopes. Thumbs up from me. Is the science world spread into two categories, two types of person, like telescope people and microscope people? No. Have games and they play sport against each other and compete over which is the best. Not that I'm aware of. All right.

What have you got? Tulips. I love tulips. I'm not a big flower person, but I admire a tulip. And, of course, it has some other connections as well. But mainly probably because we had them around the house a lot. Dad was forever growing tulips and had bulbs everywhere and all that kind of stuff.

Why was your dad into tulips? He may have been Dutch. Yep. All right. Tulips. I don't remember ever seeing tulips at your house. I was just thinking about your back garden yesterday because your dad had quite an extensive back garden. And I know he was quite into gardening.

And I reckon I must have visited your house maybe 200 times in my life. 250 might be a fair guess. Yeah, more, yeah. I reckon I went into the back garden of your house twice. I remember probably the hundredth time I visited, I went out the back garden. I was like, oh, my goodness. I had no idea there was such a big garden out here. Well, I guess there wasn't the sort of garden where we had anything to do.

There wasn't room to play like backyard cricket or anything. No reason to go there. Yeah. No. It's not like we went gardening together or something yeah we just watch tv that's right that's right yeah most of that i'm thinking about when we were in toralga when i was um a young kid and dad did some serious gardening he was a younger man he's sort of more potted around in those latter years okay but yeah there's still nice you know flowers and bits and pieces around next for me swimming pools and i like all kinds of swimming pools

i like a good infinity pool i like just a normal lap pool i like when you watch tv shows about like millionaire houses and they have all those really amazing exotic pools that wrap around their house and do all kinds of stuff. And I love a nice pool that's embedded into a garden with a little waterfall maybe and gardens sort of almost spilling down into it with a nice stone surround. I love a nice backyard pool that's done creatively. Swimming pools. And I love swimming. I love being in swimming pools. The unmistakable sound of a swimming pool in the yard next door is very recognisable, isn't it? What with people swimming in it and playing in it.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you know, the sound of people in a pool has a really distinctive sound. Yeah. My next is rum and raisin ice cream. Oh, yeah. Now, I know hardcore listeners would be saying, well, hang on, what about boysenberry? Because they're the two favourites. But I've weighed them up and I went with rum and raisin as my favourite.

Okay. Maybe because the texture. I think there's some variety in the texture of the raisins that are in there. Yeah. The taste. I don't feel I need to justify it anymore. I think rum and raisin can stand alone. Well, likewise, next on my list is the mcdonald's cheeseburger now i know

you thought i may have gone for the quarter pounder but i think as my taste as my taste has refined over the years i've grown to appreciate the simplicity and scaled backness of the cheeseburger over the quarter pounder so i'm going the mcdonald's cheeseburger. Your taste has refined back to something that was designed for the happy meal for kids like us. I like the more stripped back, you know, uncomplicated. Like I'll just have two cheeseburgers instead of a quarter pounder these days. Yes, I do. I always associate you with the cheeseburger, I have to say.

Even though you introduced me to the quarter pounder, I do associate you with your love of the cheeseburger, I have to say. Even though you introduced me to the Quarter Pounder, I do associate you with your love of the cheeseburger. Absolutely no vegetable whatsoever. That's your position. Do you not get pickles on a cheeseburger? I can't remember. Oh, a couple of token pickers. Didn't you used to take them out, though,

and, like, hand them to me or something? No, no, I could handle the pickles. I don't mind a pickle. Your body's just craving that nutrition. Anything will even take a pickle at this point. I think at this point we should thank today's episode sponsor, Tim. Another of the great hundred things in the world. That is Storyblocks.

Yes, Storyblocks. My favourite. If I was making a list of 100 favourite film, audio and sound repositories, I have to say Storyblocks would be, well, the only one. It would be 1 to 100. That's right. 1 to 100. Well said, yes.

What should we look up that we've had so far on our top 100 list on Storyblocks, Tim? What do you want to have a look for? Ooh, tulips. Many people may not know what a tulip looks like. Yeah, all right.

I'm going to go to Storyblocks this very moment. And I'm going to have a look. Let's go video. We could go images, but I'm going to go video. Here we go. Tulips in the search bar. Oh, Tim. Oh, oh.

Should I go and have a look too? I have to say. Yeah. They have a very, very impressive collection of tulips. Close-ups of the petals. Drone shots of huge fields of tulips. If I was making Tulips the movie and I needed impressive shots of tulips, Storyblocks would be absolutely delivering the goods.

Oh, yeah. Look at this. Oh, that's huge. Oh, there's like a woman in traditional Dutch dress walking through a tulip field. I'll put some of this on the video version of this episode. Storyblocks, you spoil us I'm overwhelmed Tulips

Storyblocks has bought us flowers Seriously, I'm not even joking I was expecting maybe 15 to 16 I'm on like the third page of videos And there's still a load more, load more Someone at Storyblocks really likes tulips You have to think if they've got this much on tulips, what else do they have on everything else?

Incredible. I would go so far as to say I'm beginning to think tulips is somewhat of a specialisation of Storyblocks. I know. This is kind of crazy. Anyway, storyblocks.com slash unmade. Whatever you need. It could be sound effects for a science fiction podcast you're making.

It could be graphics for graphic design on a newsletter for your local church. It could be videos of tulips. In fact, if it's videos of tulips, you're in luck. Whatever you need, Storyblocks. And thank you to them for being such a great sponsor of our podcast. Who are we up to? It's you. What have you got next on your list?

The next on my list is a – I was looking through different categories of things around the house and walking around, and I got to the wine rack. So I've gone with Bethany Shiraz, which is my favourite wine. It's a South Australian wine from the Barossa Valley, a place called Bethany, and it's a Shiraz by Bethany Shiraz, which is my favourite wine. It's a South Australian wine from the Barossa Valley, a place called Bethany, and it's a Shiraz by Bethany Shiraz. It's beautiful. It may be available in different parts of the world,

but it's my favourite wine. Next on my list, clouds. Clouds? I love clouds. They can be beautiful, fluffy things. They can be different shapes. When you're young and you've never been in a plane, you just wonder what it would feel like to touch a cloud I love clouds. They can be beautiful, fluffy things. They can be different shapes. When you're young and you've never been in a plane,

you just wonder what it would feel like to touch a cloud or be in a cloud. When you eventually do start flying above clouds and through clouds, that can be quite exciting. And they make the otherwise boring sky interesting because if the sky is just blue every day, it's just a bit boring. And then you suddenly see clouds come and doing things and they just add variety no i reckon they're a bit of a letdown because when i was a kid and we we flew overseas looking down i thought they were snow and then mum explained no no no that's just clouds and if you sat on them you'd fall straight through them and ever since then i've always

thought oh clouds not quite as substantial as you thought they were. You know, they're just a bit vaporish. True. They do lack in substance. They look cuddly, but they're not. They just pretend cuddly. They're interesting. I love filming time lapses of clouds.

I'm watching. Oh, I love them. I love clouds. I don't like it when it's just a sheet of grey sky, like it is today in England. But I like it when they're like, you know, they're individual clouds. Every now and then they can look like bunny rabbits, I guess. Okay, how long have we been going? 40 minutes.

I reckon we might split this into two episodes. I reckon it might be three or four episodes. Uluru. Ding. Oh. On my. Uluru. Ding. Oh. On my list as well. Oh, go on then. Uluru is a beautiful big rock, formerly known as Ayers Rock,

in the middle of Australia. One of the most, it's probably the defining natural beauty, natural phenomenon in Australia, isn't it? The most famous. It's a rock that's so massive. it's like 12 kilometres to walk around, incredibly high, in the middle of the flat desert, absolutely stunning. I agree. I agree.

I'll talk about it when I come to it as well. Fantastic. Great Barrier Reef maybe would compete with it, but I think Uluru is top of the list for Australia's natural icon. Good call. Natural wonders, that's the word I was looking for the list for Australia's natural icon. Good call. Natural wonders, that's the word I was looking for, wonders. It's a wonder. Because the big rocking horse being man-made, of course,

doesn't count in that list. No, no. Yeah. Otherwise it surely would have been in that place. Yeah, yeah. I think number three, natural wonders. It probably goes Uluru, Great Barrier Re barrier reef the bump at victor harbour all right next on my list the godfather movies i thought about this

so it's a dong it's not a ding but yeah every time i go on a plane and i and i look at all the different movies i could watch all the new releases all the things that are on the plane entertainment system invariably i always go nut crack out the ipad and watch either the godfather or the godfather part two yeah sometimes sometimes even the godfather part three if i've watched the other two too recently i know some people don't like talking about the third one i don't think the third one's as bad as everyone says, but one and two clearly are the better ones. Yes. And they are both magnificent movies,

and I will watch them every time I go on a long-haul flight. I will watch at least one of them. That's saying a lot. That's incredible staying power for a film, isn't it, really? Gosh. That really is That's a big endorsement Big endorsement

Next up for me is the song Your Love Is Lifting Me Higher and Higher Which I've decided Is my favourite song Alright you can have it I'm surprised I don't like it that much It's all right. I mean, it wouldn't be in my top 500 songs.

Well, that's what we're doing next week. So you've let that cat out of the bag. I love it. I don't know why I love it so much. It's something to do with the joy, the beat. I have to say, and this is a rare occasion i love the cover of it more than the original the original is by jackie wilson the cover is by an australian artist called jimmy barnes and i'd never thought i'd ever say a jimmy barnes song was my favorite

song but he's covers this song in a particular way in a particular way the riff is played on his soul deep album i never get sick of it. I love it. And it lurches forward again and again. And it's a blissfully happy. It gives me joy. It gives me joy. So there we go.

All right. Next on my list, dinosaurs. Oh, wow. How could you not love dinosaurs? Whether it's fossils, whether it's recreated ones in Jurassic Park, whether it's books about them, whether it's toys, dinosaurs. Do you have a favourite dinosaur? I do like the Triceratops.

I do like the T-Rex, you know. It's a bit of a cliché, but pretty awesome with his big oversized head. Don't you think the T-Rex has funny little hands? Yeah, true. But, yeah, I wouldn't be thinking that if I was sitting on the toilet and it was about to eat me like in Jurassic Park. Ooh, look at your little hands. Look at your little hands.

Yeah, right. I would be thinking that if he was sitting on the toilet and he couldn't reach his bum because of his little hands. Yeah, right. I would be thinking that if he was sitting on the toilet and he couldn't reach his bum because of his little hands. That is a problem for T-Rexes. Do you have a favourite dinosaur? Were you into dinosaurs as a kid or anything? Yeah, yeah, lots and lots of pigs. Not other than your dad.

Do you ask Dad what the dinosaurs were like? Every time Dad walked into the room, we'd this i think i like the triceratops yeah i think they they just have a good look about them there was also the dinosaur transformers i forget what they were called so they were around a little bit there was that tv show dinosaurs were those dinosaurs that flew around in flying saucers? I don't remember that. Dinosaurs. They were called Dinosaurs.

Oh, golly, no, I have no knowledge of that. So apart from flying... So we don't love them in their own right. We love them for the fact that cool toys were made out of them. That's part of it. That's definitely part of it. But the spell that dinosaurs hold over youngsters is something to behold. They're a wonderful, they're a real coup for science, aren't they?

Like they're a way of getting kids really excited about learning about the natural world and so forth. Yeah. I have a book, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. All right. I had to put this in there. I was thinking, what's my, probably my favourite book. And it's this book by C.S. Lewis called Mere Christianity,

where he explains about the Christian faith. And I'm a minister, so obviously I'm a Christian. And he does it in such a brilliant way. It was so defining for me as a young person, a teenager, or I think my late teens I read it. And it just blew my mind and filled in lots of blanks for me in my thinking and all that kind of stuff lots of lots of gaps i should say and it resonates still and it's a piece of genius writing and it's so

pithy and eloquent i love mere christianity my godmother may she rest in peace was a magnificent woman named olive and she took her role of godmother quite seriously in terms of sort of a pastoral guidance care role. So whenever I like, for example, whenever I moved to a new city, she would email me and let me know a few churches that were nearby that she'd been researching that she thought I could pay a visit to. And she sent me a copy of Mere Christianity because she thought it was a really good book for me to read. And I did read it. And, you know, he's a good, I can't really remember much about it, but i do remember thinking this is a well-written book 50 years old genius next on my list is a cold can of fizzy drink it could be fizzy water it could be coke zero which is my fizzy drink of choice

these days or something like that but a cold fizzy drink is magnificent. Hitting the back of your throat, but especially from a can, a metal can. I love a cold can of fizzy drink. Yeah. See, I'm not really into fizzy drinks in the same way. I'd rather an iced coffee. But here at the church with my offices and I'm working during the week, we have this big industrial fridge and there's just a few slabs of soft drink in there for the youth group so like all the young people you know there's like all a whole variety of them so they're always there so often at lunch and i'll be go looking and i'll get looking in the fridge

for something else and then i'll look down i'll go oh and i'll i'll be wooed into them in a way that i would never be at the shops just because they're there and available and I've been drinking more of them more recently I have to say and are you allowed to just take whatever you want because you're like the boss of the church so you can just take one well they're kind of there for everyone to take take them whenever they want them we just kind of have them there for everyone um but yes especially me yes like if there was a lemonade left and a creamy soda and um you know me and someone else was there i'd i'd you know probably have a higher right to the creamy soda i mean i'd give it i'd lay it down for the other person and give it to them because i'm a good christian but you know honestly speaking

i would have a greater claim to it could you just wave your hand over it and then claim that they're holy soft drinks? Could you bless them up? I can't do that because that would change them into wine and then that would be a whole other deal. I was actually listening to the song, I Would Do Anything for Love the other day, and there's that line saying, will you hose me down with holy water if I get too hot? And I was thinking about the extravagance, right, of hosing someone down with holy water if I get too hot? And I was thinking about the extravagance, right, of hosing someone down with holy water. And then it occurred to me, how much water can be made

holy in one go? Like, could you go to the ocean and just say, if you were like, you know, a priest or something, and just wave your hand and bless this ocean, and then all of the ocean would be holy water? Or is that too much water to make holy in one go or would you fail and then yoda would say you know that's why you fail because you thought it was too much water but you could have done it all like how much water can be made holy in one sitting you're the best person to ask i'm not the best person to ask the idea of holy water is attached to um the catholic church the roman catholic church and i'm a protestant i't, all water is holy because it's all made by God and it's free and it sustains us and makes the world work.

There's no special holy water in my book. If you were Catholic, if you're, how much water can a Catholic priest make holy in one go? Do you think there's a limit? I have no idea, but it's, I think they do it for, like if it's, I'm gonna speak ignorance into offense here if i try and say anymore this is the unmade podcast all we do is speak ignorance all right i'm gonna say four liters anything more than that

it's in real trouble do catholic churches have to have their water made holy on site by the resident priest or can they buy it? Is there like a, you know, like a, you know, San Pellegrino factory where they just like holy it all and mass produce it and put it in bottles and you can buy it already holy to put in your holy water receptacles? I don't know. I don't know. You're obviously not. I need to ask someone else. I've got lots of questions What have you got next on your list?

Blackadder Blackadder is a TV show Comedy Rowan Atkinson Written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton I think probably the funniest show ever made Particularly seasons 2, 3 and 4 Particularly 3 and 4

Absolutely hilarious Golden Holds up made particularly seasons two three and four particularly three and four absolutely hilarious golden holds up and i love blackadder i like blackadder season two blackadder second is my favorite but yeah the war is the war one world war two that's the fourth isn't it that's good too yes yeah yeah i don't like one and three as much. 3 has its moments, though. Yeah, 1 is rubbish. They changed the whole premise after 1, so it's really a bit of a false start. 2, 3 and 4 are just some of the funniest television ever. All right, next I'm going to go stamps and postcards and other kind of male paraphernalia. I don't collect stamps.

I do collect some postcards and things like that, But I love if I'm going to an old market and I've got a stall that's full of old stamps and old postcards and things like that. I will easily spend an hour just going through that stuff. I love all that old material. I just love the idea of it. I should collect it because I love it so much. But I've got enough vices and things that set my time without becoming a stamp collector. I love stamps and postcards and old stuff like that. I even love modern stamps. I even love the actual stamps I buy now with the Queen's head on it and put them on the things that I send to patrons. I just love stamps and I've got all my own stickers and other

stamps and things that I put on the envelopes. I just love the whole idea of envelopes and stamps and postage and stuff like that. It's just wonderful. It is satisfying getting it all ready and then putting aside ready to mail, isn't it? It's ready to go. Putting on the airmail stickers. And then on the back, I put special Unmade Podcast stickers and stuff like that as well. And extra stamps and labels. And I love all that stuff.

Love it. No wonder you've got your vip lane down at the uh post office yeah incredible here this is where i attempt to be brady and try and remember is it a philologist the stamp collector no it's like it's philat it's philatic philologist is actually study of languages and that it's philat it's philat something uh all right let's look it up you're right i should have used that word i was avoiding that word Philologist is actually study of languages and that. It's philat. It's philat something. All right. Let's look it up. You're right. I should have used that word.

I was avoiding that word because I didn't know it either. But I know philology is a language thing. Philately. Philately. Philately. Okay. Yeah. Collection, appreciation, and research of stamps and other philatelic products.

Anyway, all that stuff. Well, there we are, man. You can get into some flatulence. Yeah. All right. What do you got? I'm not 100% on this one, but it's there and I'll go with it because I've got a bit of room at the end.

The Brooklyn Bridge. Oh, yeah. Ding, kind of. We'll come to mine later on. I haven't got the Brooklyn Bridge, but that's close enough for me to give that a ding. But, yeah, go on, Brooklyn Bridge. I think it's, again, a bit like the Eiffel Tower. It looks like the original article.

It looks like a perfectly designed bridge. It's strength and height. It looks quintessential. I love where it is. It's often with the cityscape, obviously, of New York. I love that I've had some lovely memories walking across it over to and driving across it to get some great pizza and with the family uh i love that the kids have signed it with texta and stuff um and so we've got some lovely photos on it but it just has that

look about it that i really really love i love the documentary story about them going down and down and digging you know just the conditions under which they built it and the era they built it. It's just quite staggering. Yeah, the Brooklyn Bridge. I rate it. Controversially, I'm going to say I'm a bit disappointed by it. I also rarely find myself in that part of New York that I get to walk.

I've walked across it once or twice and gone across it a few times, but I never really find it. It's kind of hard to get to on foot. And I don't know. It's sort of... I will often go to New York and not see it at all. And it's good. It's a good, solid bridge.

But I don't think it's as... I don't think it's as striking and amazing as its reputation and name because it's such a famous name. Yes, it is. I think its name's more famous than what it actually, the reality of it. But it's a good solid bridge. And, you know, I can't deny you it. All right.

Next on my list, koalas. I love koalas. That's a surprise. I love them. Like, they're cute, they're cuddly, they're interesting. They never look exactly like what you expect them to look like. Their faces are smaller with smaller eyes than you think. You think of them having these big, cute, big eyes.

But in fact, they don't. They have tiny eyes, koalas. But I don't know, I like how they're kind of stocky and muscly. They don't move how you expect them to move, like when we saw that one walking on the road that time. They just, I like them And, you know, I wanted something quintessentially Australian on my list like that as well And I like koalas, I like koalas

One of my earliest teddies was Sport Willie Who was sort of the representative toy for the Olympic team in, I think, 1984 or so. Okay, right, yeah. Did you have a sport, Willie? I had a toy koala that was from the 1982 Commonwealth Games, and I still have it to this day. And there's an elaborate Heron family story that's associated with it, which I will spare you at the moment.

Save it for another day. Maybe this is where that's from as well. I'm assuming it's 84 Olympics, but maybe it's the Commonwealth Games. He's long gone now, Sport Willie, but just my entire childhood, there was this little koala sitting on my bed. So, yes, he was in a little green and gold tracksuit. Oh, yeah, no, that's different to what mine was. Mine was from the 82 Commonwealth Games, which I think were held in Brisbane, weren't they? yeah, no, that's different to what mine was. Mine was from the 82 Commonwealth Games,

which I think were held in Brisbane, weren't they? Koalas, that's great. That's a surprise. I like that. I'm back onto food again. That didn't take long. Hot chips with mayonnaise. So hot chips are amazing.

I mean, chips are universal. I think if there are chips on the table we should all be eating them um because they're just so magnificent and so apparently magnificent they smell fantastic they taste fantastic they're very accessible they're not an exclusive food and i and i love eating them with mayonnaise hot chips with mayonnaise do you like a thick chip with more fluffy potato or a thinner chip where there's a higher ratio of crunchy outsideness? I like a thicker chip, but there needs to be further in the bag some crunchy ones,

like some, you know what I mean, mixed in with the salt later on. If I never get one of those, I'll be disappointed, but I do like the thicker ones early on. You're more of a fry man. Is that what you're saying i do like the thicker ones early on you're more of a fry man is that what you say i like i like i like the crunchy outside i don't mind a thick chip as long as there's also a hefty crunchy outside i don't like a big thick chip with a flimsy outside and it's just too potatoey yeah no no no you don't want the potato does get in the way a bit of the chip it's yeah yeah it's a necessary evil.

By definition, yes. That's great. Next on my list, lightsabers. Nice. What's better than a lightsaber? Like, what captured your imagination more than a laser sword with a cool high-tech metal handle and then an actual laser sword coming out of it that you could fight and have sword fights with? How was lightsabers not number one on both our lists? They are a great invention.

Yes. Yes. You're right. A laser sword. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. It really is one of the core great things about Star Wars is that George Lucas didn't just go with cool guns.

He actually took a step back and said, no, these Jedis will fight with swords, which is very a traditional thing to do, except they're sort of laser swords. That's a genius little manoeuvre there. Love them. What youngster didn't dream of having a lightsaber hang from their belt? The whole reason I wanted to have a belt was so I could hang a lightsaber from it. Yes, yes. If you had a lightsaber, what colour would your blade be?

Green. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Yeah, had a lightsaber, what colour would your blade be? Green. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Yeah, that's probably the best choice. Racing green. British racing. British racing green lightsaber.

This is why humans shouldn't become billionaires, right? Like, if I was a billionaire, you shouldn't become billionaires right like if i was a billionaire you and i were billionaires we'd have like fighter jets that were british racing green we'd be walking around with lightsabers that were british racing green stuffing our mouth with chips like they would just be absolute indulgent horror story i'd spend my entire fortune on research and development of an actual working lightsaber Forget all your Jeff Bezos and Musk trying to go to space I just want a working lightsaber

It's a weapon You have no intention of using it as a weapon You just want to hear the crackle And go woohoo Just out the back Smashing down all your trees Love it Oh dear Just out the back, smashing down all your trees. Love it.

Oh, dear. You know what would happen if I had a lightsaber, though? I'd always forget to charge it and it would happen to zero charge. Let's get a little USB port. That's right. Has anyone got a lightsaber charger? Formula One. Yep.

I didn't hear a ding. You didn't have it on your list? No, I deliberately didn't put it on my list. I'm a bit out of love with Formula One. Yep. I didn't hear a ding. You didn't have it on your list? No, I deliberately didn't put it on my list. I'm a bit out of love with Formula One this week, so I didn't make my list this week. Another week it might have. Okay. Yes.

Well, I have to say, I mean, as you know, you've been a long-time lover. I am a more recent lover of Formula One, but I about it all the time i watched i watched all the races for the last two weeks sorry rather two years and i listened to a couple of podcasts on it you know every week um and i read up on it so it's a real enjoyment i i would never have guessed it two years ago but i really love formula one i have no interest in any other motorsport whatsoever. No interest whatsoever. Only on Formula One. Next on my list, pillows.

I love pillows. Yeah, yeah. I love when you go to a hotel and you get new, what are the pillows going to be like at this hotel? Oh, that's a big, nice pillow. Oh, that's a soft one. Oh, I like that silky pillow cover. Oh, a a big nice pillow oh that's a soft one oh i like that silky pillow cover or a square one a rectangular one a round one and i associate them with sleep

and i love sleep i love pillows this is like an episode of wholesome all the things that we love just the most beautiful wholesome things. Here's another one. Bagpipes. I love bagpipes. I love the sound of bagpipes. It gives me chills. I find it so, I find them, I find bagpipes inspiring. I find them so moving. Do you like bagpipes?

I find the sound of them rather grating. But in the right context, it's cool. If you're at a royal castle or you're in Scotland or something on a Scottish hillside. And also... As I often am. And the design and look of bagpipes is interesting. They're clearly one of the more interesting looking musical instruments. How many musical instruments involve a cloth bag?

Not many. So I will grant you that bagpipes are intriguing but they're not on my list i would like to learn how to play the bagpipes i would like to buy some bagpipes i'm just making this decision now i've just had a revelation why don't i play the bagpipes every morning i should come out of my apartment balcony and just blast the bagpipes out over Adelaide. Lovely. Do it, man. Do it.

All right, hang on. I'm just going to write that. Buy bagpipes. Cricket bowls. Obviously, I love the sport of cricket and I nearly put cricket on the list, but instead I've just decided to put cricket bowls on there because I love holding and looking at a cricket bowl. They're really interesting. And if you've never held or looked at a cricket bowl, you should.

They're really like, they're like from another time. They're made of red leather they're four pieces of leather or two pieces of leather depending on the kind of bowl they've got cork and string in the middle of them they're stitched together with white thread they don't they look they're an odd looking thing it's amazing that there's a sport that uses this thing. I love a cricket ball. And I also associate a cricket ball like with the excitement of the cricket season, like the cricket ball in the logo for the Channel 9 coverage they used to have and stuff like that. Just the sight of a cricket ball quickens my pulse.

Famously in Australia when the cricketers um they're sort of spitting and polishing one side of them so they curve when they bowl them and then so they rub it down their leg down their groin so there's big red streak down the bowler's leg from the red love it all right push through a little bit i've got kilkenny it's just my favorite beer it's an Irish beer, dark ale, I like Kilkenny. All right. Next for me, skimming stones. Nice, flat, polished stones that you can skim across the sea. Who doesn't love finding a good skimmer on the beach going, oh, that's going to be a good skimmer, picking it up,

throwing it out over the sea in expectation of 10, maybe 12 bounces, getting in reality maybe three. Who doesn't love skimming stones? Very satisfying. Very satisfying. What's the most amount of skims, bounces, plonks that you've had? I reckon I've got up around 10 in my golden, golden days, if there's a nice flat body of water.

That's going back a while. Nice work. It's a bit like I once caught a fish this big saying I once got 10 skims. That's right. That's right. Look, I've gone, I've been fresh, thick bread. Yeah. This is from a wholesome episode.

We know this. There's nothing more beautifully wholesome than cutting into some bread, but fresh, thick bread. The smell of it is intoxicating. The taste of it, particularly with a hard crust around the outside, the soft middle. I like a good sourdough bread these days. I just went away this weekend to a place that did great sourdough. When it's a little bit warm still and you put the butter on that and the butter just slightly melts as you're spreading it on the sourdough bread. Nice big air bubbles. I have a friend who bakes his own

and gave me some a while ago and it was satisfying to cut into that and eat it. Beautiful stuff. Nice. Next on my list is one that you've already done, dogs. I was going to specify maybe chihuahuas and greyhounds, my two favourite breeds, but I did just go for dogs. You know what I love about dogs as opposed to cats? Dogs are fallible. They like make mistakes. They fall over, they trip over, they get lost, they get confused. Cats are just so composed and graceful and flawless. And it kind of pisses me off. I love that a dog's like me and it it will just, like, fall over and be a bit dumb. Yes. Its failures are apparent to everyone.

I know the cat's probably making mistakes, but they're all hidden and secret, and the dog is, everyone can see mistakes. Look, I've got another one here playing Mario Kart. I would never have thought a computer game was something, but playing Mario Kart, oh, never have thought a computer game was something, but playing Mario Kart, oh, 4 billion times with my daughters over the past 12 months, I've fallen in love with it. And playing with them and joking about it is an absolute joy. So I've really, and it's not just the company of them, which is wonderful. I actually really love the game as well. I find it relaxing

and we cruise around and I know how to drift and do all sorts of things. And so I really love the game as well. I find it relaxing and we cruise around and I know how to drift and do all sorts of things. And so I really love the game of Mario Kart. I really like playing it. That's a good game. I'll give you that. Next on my list, seaplanes. Planes that land on water. How cool are they?

Like they're just like I have gone on them a lot now because you have to go on them a lot when you go to the Maldives. Otherwise, I rarely have a reason to go on them. But even if I'm not going on them, just the look of them, like the one in Raiders of the Lost Ark and stuff like that, you know, water planes, planes that take off and land on water, it just combines the best of aircraft and boats. They're awesome. It is a bit of a miracle, isn't it?

Yes. Genius. We've made something to fly. Well, what if it could land on water? What craziness is this? Gosh. Are we sure they exist, man? You've actually been in one, is that right?

I have. We are sure they exist. They're not just a Spielberg trick. So, Tim, that's 50 so far. We have each done 25. We're actually running a bit tight on time for this episode. Shall we do the next 50 very soon in another very soon episode? Spread the 100 over 101.

Well, I think we're going to have to because otherwise this episode's getting a bit out of control. All right, fair enough. So there's the first 50 and we'll be back very soon. We won't make you wait long for the next episode with the next 50. God, there's some good stuff coming up on my next 50. Really? You think yours gets better, or it doesn't kind of just fade away?

No, no, no. It gets better. The gold. As I thought more about it, there was a lot of low-hanging fruit, some stuff we've mentioned before in the first 25 uh of my list but i'm looking down i'm going yep yep there's some love there stay tuned we'll be back very soon with part two
