You're going to love my idea today, by the way. You're going to be upset you didn't get more time to prepare for it. Oh, really? Oh, really? It's music related. Man, man. It's like telling you there's a whole bunch of presents waiting for you in the other room. Will I have to compile lists or evaluate lists or? Oh, not quite, but it's kind of in that ballpark.

But I'm not gonna say anymore let's just say you're gonna be like oh i need more time for this are you wearing nail polish i am yeah yeah my youngest daughter is obsessed with nail polish and she has lots and lots of colors and so i get to pick the colours and she tries out just on the left hand. So I say you can have one hand. But I've become quite used to it now. And I actually look at them and go, oh, it needs to be touched up a little bit. Honey, where are you?

Tim, you know I love you, but your nails are not something you should be drawing attention to. Well, that's the other reason. You see, I notoriously bite my nails and they look disgusting because I've done it for years and years and years. And this is partly her strategy to get me to stop biting my nails. Okay, yeah. But what happens is it works. It works to some degree because I go to bite my nails

and I see the nail polish or taste it and I go, oh, hello, I shouldn't be biting my nails. But then at other times I'll be munching on the other hand I'll be biting and the thought goes through my hand oh wait you might have nail and then I go oh no it's okay it's the other hand and then I just keep munching away it's a terrible habit by golly I've had it a long time if anyone's got any ideas to help Tim break the habit, send them in. That's what a good podcast idea that is. How I broke a habit or breaking habits. Because that's one of humanity's great, you know, conundrums, isn't it?

How do I break a bad habit? Everyone forever suggests ideas like you should put that disgusting stuff on your fingers. But I tried that about 20 years ago. What, KFC? Yeah. like you should put that disgusting stuff on your fingers but i tried that about 20 years ago what kfc yeah i shouldn't have put it on while i was holding a piece of chicken because it just slipped off i don't know how it was more of a bad aftertaste what i need is like an electric fence to go on on my fingertips where i put it in my mouth. Oh, yes, yes. But nothing seems to be that strong. Would you consider hypnosis? I would consider it, yeah.

I'm sceptical about it, but I would consider it. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, yeah, let's hear some ideas, people. Anyway, some parish notices. In the last episode, Tim had an idea with a terrible name. What was it? The Capulus something?

Capulus podcast? Oh, yeah. It was to do, basically, because Capulus is Latin for hair, and Tim's idea was people who've had their hair cut, that it's changed their life. Either for the worst, which seemed to be the more common one, sort of your Michael Bolton cases in point. Yes.

Or maybe for the positive, Bon Jovi sort of, you're Michael Bolton cases in point. Yes. Or maybe for the positive, Bon Jovi sort of managed to have a haircut successfully. Anyway, we heard from Jenny in South Carolina. She said, Hi, Tim and Brady. I have an anecdote about cutting my hair in a drastic way. When I was in my early twenties, I had a chronic illness that caused me to be mostly housebound

and occasionally bed bound. In a subconscious attempt to regain control of my life, I cut off over 12 inches of hair in one go. Wow. I donated the hair to a program that turns hair into wigs for children with cancer, alopecia, and other hair loss conditions. It made me feel literally lighter. Hair is actually quite heavy at those lengths. And I felt good about being able to contribute to society in the only way I could think of as a chronically ill person. Shortly thereafter, I overcame some of the factors making me ill,

and I've since been able to move my life forward. I am now married with two children. I'm not sure if cutting my hair was what greased the wheels in my health journey, allowing me to improve physically, but it certainly helped me mentally, which can be a big factor in getting better from many kinds of illnesses. Good stuff. I attached her some before and after pictures from Jenny, South Carolina. Lovely. That's nice, isn't it? Yeah, good stuff, Jenny. That's great. I think we placed far too much importance on hair. You know, having long hair, we spend a lot of money on it, a lot of time on it, and it is very little importance, isn't it, really?

Yeah. I mean, that's easy for me to say. I have spectacular hair. But thanks for making me feel better. People, I love the idea that people can either be Samson's or John Bon Jovi's. It either ruins their life or makes them like too great. The whole world is divided up into people who are either in the tradition of Samson or John Bon Jovi.

I can't believe the story of John Bon Jovi didn't make the cut for the Bible. I know. Because I tell you, his Delilah, you know, Delilah gets a bad rap in the Samson story. But what if his hairdresser was Delilah and she, like, gave him a whole second wind in his career? Delilah's, you know, what a wonderful gift. I'm not like, I mean, I don't believe the Bible stories are true, right? You probably don't either. You probably think a lot of them are also allegorical.

I don't know. I don't know what you think. But anyway, I think the story of Samson is probably not a true story, right? But let's say it was, or it is. I think going back in time and seeing Delilah is one of the characters from history I would most like to see. Oh. Because, you know, she was such a beauty, apparently, and, you know, was able to, like, to like completely like subvert samson because of his like infatuation for her i wonder what she looked like whether she was generically understood

as beautiful or she just captured his eye you know what i mean you know how some people yeah yeah maybe she just had a great sense of humor yeah that's right Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe she looked like you, but she was just funny. If only I was funny. I already look like me. Tim, you're my Delilah, Tim. Man, you've got to sing it. You're my, my, my Delilah. They are true, by the way. The story's in the Bible. Do you think Samson and Delilah is a true story like that? So there really was a guy who had long hair and was a great warrior and cut his hair and as a result lost his strength.

Yes, I do. I think that's like a true thing. Right. Okay. I think it is a true thing. Or it's a telling of a true story. Yes, I do. I think that's true. In other words, because you've got to look at the stories in the Bible in their context.

Some are parables. They're made up to make a moral point. Some are kind of metaphors for other things. And some are historical events. And so you've got to look at them on their categories in their appropriate genre. That one, I think, probably has some factual basis to it. So he was, his hair, having long hair made him strong and having short hair made him suddenly weaker

and able to be bound and tied up. And he was able to push down like pillars and make a whole big place collapse and stuff. Yes, I think there's, well, A, Michael Bolton's proof of the fact that it can happen, but pushing in behind... Actually, you got me there he pushed down a whole career just with with one short haircut but i do think it is it depends on

what you mean by he had superhuman strength well it is possible that there there was a particular strain of person who was put aside as a nazirite with particular and he had particular strengths and they were stronger than other people and he had particular tasks to do so i do think there's a factual basis to it but i do i wouldn't want to look at it like a marvel story and say well hang on someone sat down and said hey once upon a time let's imagine you know what i mean i believe there's a factual basis to it okay this is in no way endorsing whether people should cut their hair or grow their hair, by the way. Everyone needs to make that decision for themselves, whether they are... Because you don't know until you've done it whether you are a Samson or a Jon Bon Jovi.

You don't know whether the new day will bring something good. Exactly. I mean, Jenny was a Jon Bon Jovi. That's right. Yes. Yes. I believe you have a parish notice, Tim. Oh, I do.

I got an update. People will remember that my love for KFC, well, some might say slash addiction to KFC was... Or lust. Lust. My Delilah-like relationship with KFC began in Tarelgan, the town where I grew up. And there was a KFC in Tarelgan long before there was a McDonald's, which is why I think it captured my heart first. But there were reports of the massive bucket out the front, the big sign being dismantled, deconstructed, and that for quite a while the post was naked out the front it was

just this sort of skeleton of a bucket wasn't there with no skin on it no like uh no kfc logo it was just like it was nude it was it was it was it was it would have been grief-stricken to look at you know it was i think people were bringing flowers at the base and using it as sort of a memorial. It's marking the potential death of KFC in Tarelgan. Anyway, the parish notices that we have an update. And the update has come via a friend of Colonel Katrina, who just happened to be driving through Tarelgan and sent through a video which showed that, I don't know if this was intended or not, whether there was damage to the bucket and that's why it was taken away and replaced, or whether it's just an upgrade.

I suspect it may just have been an upgrade because the bucket has been returned, restored, and it's new and improved. It's not just round. It's a much more accurate rendering of the bucket. It's shiny. It's big, it's beautiful. It's sort of the sort of thing you'd imagine you'd see on the strip at Las Vegas, really. But it's there and like a beacon of hope for the people of Tarelgan.

All is well. Here is a video of the beautiful bucket at KFC. Completed, very shiny, shiny absolutely beautiful looking great it is the 26th of March it's been a while since we've come to check on it but there you go glad to see the bucket is back makes you want to drive to Terrelgan doesn't it to see it I also have a KFC related parish notice I went to our post box the other day and there was an incredibly heavy item and I brought it home and opened it. And this was sent from Michael in Toronto. And I looked at like that customs form that is on the outside of the box, which sort of sometimes gives away what the contents are.

And it said novelty fire log. And I was like, I think I know what's coming here. And it turns out Michael has purchased and sent from Canada at considerable cost. It costs a lot of money to send this. Here it is, Tim. I have one of these KFC fire logs that they've been selling. Here it is in the box. Oh, wow.

It's sealed in plastic. It's huge. It's heavy. And this is a log that you can put in your fireplace or your burner or whatever. And supposedly the smell of KFC will then waft from it. I have not yet burned it. I will not be burning it in the house. It has been very, very heavily sanctioned by my wife, who has a particular dislike for KFC. But let me read what

it says here on the box. Use any time for an extra crispy fire. Chicken lovers, it's cold outside, and that means it's time to ignite the old fireplace. This season, the warmth of delicious fried chicken will fill more than just your belly. Now it can fill your home too. When the weather outside gets frightful, just throw a fire log on the fire, sit back and enjoy the delicious smell of fried chicken in complete cozy bliss. Just make sure you don't eat it. That would hurt. Is this a legitimate product from KFC or is it a sort of a novelty rip-off or something? What do you think? I mean, I think it's like a bit of an attempt at garnering publicity, but it's a legitimate thing that you could buy.

I can't. It's sealed in plastic, so I'm not getting much of a smell from it at the moment. Right. There's like a plastic shrink wrap around the box. But I'm thinking maybe I'll go out and burn it, like, in the park one day or something. I'll do a live recording and report back to you. Oh, yes.

Magnificent. But thank you, Michael. That's cost you a lot of money to send. Money that you could have used to support us on Patreon, but, hey, the final look's nice too. cost you a lot of money to send money that you could have used to support us on patreon but hey i've never heard of someone sending a log through through the mail before that really is quite something nice check out uh i'll put a picture i'll put a picture in the notes for the show and on the screen for the youtube version as always this isn't parish notice this is more

of a comment without notice you're wearing the top gun t-shirt i notice what's happened to the top gun sequel maverick isn't it supposed to have been out by now it's around because i've heard stories of people who've seen it like top like tom cruise organized a showing to some group of athletes or something at some point so it's around but i don't know what's going on needs a release date i wasn't in the mood when you first brought it up but i feel like i'm in the mood for it now i'd like to know yeah yeah you're feeling the need for speed i am there we go all right ideas for a podcast you want to go first today, Tim? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, mine's in one sense, it's very simple, but it's, I think a, it could potentially be a very popular idea.

I'll give you the boring Brady name for this podcast is the Good News Podcast or Good News Only. The exciting, innovative Tim name for this could be Glass Half Full. But this is a podcast where the first half explores only good news. Thinking about people in the helping professions, people in draining jobs, people facing tough situations, driving home at the end of the day or the last thing you want to listen to before you go to bed is a report on anecdotes, stories, news and facts from around the world that are good. Good news. This has been improved. This has helped. This happened.

This person was saved and so forth. That's half the idea. The other half of the idea is, and this could be a segment within the half glass half full which is called positive spin and that would be when news and things that have happened in the world are framed in a way they're given a positive spin they're presented in a way where we can extract some positives out of what might be a negative or a neutral situation so it's a podcast that's short sharp but lifts the spirits and gives you an update of what's happening around the world from a more hopeful perspective okay so that that guy who was the main character not not the not steve carell but the other main

character in the american office during the pandemic he started like a youtube channel like this didn't he that was called like that was just good news that good news like a youtube thing and for a while it was quite popular and then he sold it i think to like some big company because it had become popular but with not him hosting it anymore and as soon as he wasn't hosting it, it just died. So... Right. That's bad news. Yeah. Well, there was a famously also, I'm sure we've discussed it on the podcast before, there was a newspaper that had this policy too of only printing good news stories. And it went out of business because it wasn't popular enough, but it didn't report that it was going out of

business. It just stopped because that would have been bad news. Right, yes. So, it just stopped one day. So, the idea of, you know, good news only is, you know, tried and tested. I like your idea of the positive spin though too. Can we somehow report the bad news in the world in a way that's a bit more positive? I do sometimes get a little bit frustrated by those people who say, oh, I don't watch the news because it's all too negative. Yes. If you don't want to consume news, fair enough. But saying, oh, I don't watch the news because it's all too negative. Yes.

If you don't want to consume news, fair enough. But saying, oh, I don't want to know about the negative stuff, I think is a little bit of an ostrich philosophy to life. Yes, yes. This is a little bit different in the sense that I, or maybe it's a correction to that, that this wouldn't only, it wouldn't avoid bad news, but it would be full and frank in looking the reality of situations, but being able to give a more hopeful spin on it or frame it in a way that says, look where this can go or what this, like something ending creates the opportunity for something new. As Mother Superior says in The Sound of Music, whenever God shuts the door, he always opens a window.

I just had a good name for your podcast a tim name for it you ready yes yes the pollyanna podcast the you could at the glad game she was always whenever something bad happened pollyanna always found something happy and glad to say about a reason to be glad my father said don't let's be gloomy let's try and find something to be glad about so we it, a reason to be glad. My father said, don't let's be gloomy. Let's try and find something to be glad about. So we made a game of it, the glad game. You would have to be careful that it's not just a denial,

but I was thinking more of something that searched down and found good news. It's not that the news is full of good news. Of course, the news has to include what's happened, but they also make calls on what's going to be the most important thing to say, but also what people want to hear. So it's fair enough to say, I imagine there's a whole bunch of news. In other words, they're not covering all the news. They're only covering all the news that they can fit into the time they've decided to give to the news segment. So it's a news service that deliberately goes searching for good news and presents it. So, would the point of this podcast, as it is in your head, be to keep one informed of the world?

Would this be a podcast I use to know what's going on? You know, there's a war in this part of the world. This person's died. This team won the sport. Or would it be more filled with those kind of, and finally, novelty stories about the person who found a bottle in the ocean or the dog that found its way home after seven years or like which of those two things is it is it is this like does this serve a real informative purpose or is it more entertainment and cheering up i like to think it's a bit of both but that's because i think that would make it

more better entertainment like it is it is a little bit like I think you do need personal stories. Now, to some degree, personal stories aren't really newsworthy, but they are uplifting and they're true and they happen. But I also think that there's bigger stories that are important about where the poverty line has shifted to, about the – like we talk about the rise of china right and you can talk about the rise and growth in the economic the socio well the economic rise of china is being getting quickly towards being the largest economy in the world and that's often

talked about in terms of it being a threat to other nations and to the geopolitical balance of the world but inside that is a good news story that there's a billion people being lifted out of poverty. Like it's just an absolute miracle of a transformation that's going on. And now that has downside detrimental effects about the environment and what does it mean for them to all be consumers. But it does also mean that it's been life changingchanging for, you know, around a billion people. That's the good news lens on something that's complex and difficult and big. So, would your Pollyanna podcast ignore all those, like, environmental concerns and human rights and

stuff like that? Would it, like, shut its eyes to that? Is that the point? Because if you don't, then what's the point? You're just, like, a news show. So, like, are you going to ignore the negative about things? It sounds like that's what you have to do. Otherwise, you're just making a news magazine show. Well, I think you can emphasise something. You can say, given these are the facts, let's look at this unseen good news bit in the midst of all that. And that's a difficult editorial decision, isn't it? But... Sounds like you're already, like, backtracking. of all that and that's like that's a difficult editorial decision isn't it but it sounds like you're already like backtracking backtracking to we will be even-handed would your podcast as as

you envisage it as it slowly crumbles before my interrogation would your would your podcast um replace the need to watch like the normal news like Like would I still need to watch the BBC news to know what's going on in the world? Or could I listen to your podcast and that's your feel, that's what's going on in the world and I know what's going on in the world, just in a more happy way? No, no, it wouldn't replace that. It is for entertainment. It's for a pick-me-up. It's for a pick-me-up.

It's something that you might watch after the news to feel a little bit better. Is it a joke? Is it like defending the undefensible, like in a funny way? Or is it trying to be serious? In my mind, it's trying to be serious. But no, otherwise it would be too cynical, wouldn't it? It would be a satire on good news. You know, it would be a bit too black.

There might be another comedic idea in that but it's not a very good comedic idea there's a radio show i listen to called fighting talk which i really like on bbc five live which is it's mainly sports oriented and it's like four comedians like all trying to get points off each other and the final when it comes down to the two finalists to decide the winner the segment is called defend the undefensible and they're they're given a statement which is clearly like bordering on offensive or something you could never possibly agree with and they have to for one minute passionately and strongly make the case for that thing yeah and so like and that's actually really funny listening to them defend the undefensible position like i like that yeah i do enjoy i enjoy that can

i say in in that vein you know when you have to read something from a mirror image or take the opposite view or the contrarian view there's two things on twitter that tripped me up in more recently one of them is you know how you have you have news services run through social media and so that gives you a bit of a few headlines as well as news from your friends and news from this pop star and all the rest of it but then of course i i subscribe to a few satirical news services like the onion who who are giving you the day's news but of course you know it's in in a satirical way it's ironic or it's um it's a buffoonery version and so it's really hard when you when you read that

first of all you might trip over it which is funny and then look at it and laugh at it but what i find is if i actually look at them for a while if i go scrolling down through onion your mind shifts to this sarcastic satiric kind of mode so then when you come back to the real news you're tripping over it all the time and you go, as if, you know, this particular devastating event is just being said in an ironic way. And it's really funny. Your brain has to shift between those. Yeah. The other thing that tripped me up more recently, though, was, of course, like it gives you the biggest eye roll.

It's two days in the year that give me a big eye roll. The first one is may the fourth and then where everyone just goes may the fourth be with you over and over again and that's just like oh yeah okay the second one is on april fool's day where every friggin company and corporation in the world feels the need to release some jokey product that hey everyone here's our new release and you're just scrolling again through twitter or something and it's just yeah okay and so i found myself by the end of april fool's day like not believing anything that anyone was saying anymore because it's all just

did you see what the adelaide advertiser newspapers april fool joke was this year no so they published a story saying that the big rocking horse had been sold and was being moved to China. Oh, no. For half a second, for less than half a second, it did get me when it said it had been sold to China. I was thinking, oh, China's invested in that. And then I started reading and I very quickly realised what was going on. But, yeah, there you go.

Cool. All right. There we go. Glass half full. There we go glass half full there we go the pollyanna podcast the pollyanna already you're presenting my good news podcast as a as bad news like this is a bad news well as soon as i started saying a few like right on lefty things like you know environmental concerns and human rights you just crumbled and started saying, well, of course, we've got to put that in the podcast.

Yes, yes. No, no, no. Maybe there is a bolder idea, which is just to totally, you know, trivialise the serious and totally elevate that which isn't. Yeah, that's what I think. Like, I think double down on it. So when someone says, you know know there's all you know the rise of all this industry in china is causing all this pollution and stuff say well what a great opportunity for environmental companies

and innovators to move into this space this is great we need more companies to start creating pollution so this this industry can really. The carbon capture industry will really grow if we have more pollution. Stay tuned for that, people. I'm sure Tim will be making that in the near future. Let me mention Storyblocks. Storyblocks, the demand-driven library of royalty-free footage and After Effects templates,

music, sound effects, photos. They offer subscriptions that will fit any budget. You can download all these pictures and media and put them into your own creations royalty-free. Check out their unlimited all-access plan, which gives you everything in the library. It's fantastic. That's what I use. You go to storyblocks.com slash unmade storyblocks.com slash unmade. Just a magical resource for anyone doing anything creative. We would probably dedicate an entire episode of Glass Half Full to Storyblocks because it's good news. Every way you look at it, it's good news. Storyblocks is fantastic news.

What should I look up on storyblocks what should we look up in the in the library today i always love to have this little bit of a browse bit of a snack bit of a graze um snack see if snack comes up is snack too much of an australianism is that a australian other people i've put i've put the word snack into the search bar on Storyblocks. Can you guess what the first video is of? Sandwich. A sandwich? No.

It is an open packet of potato crisps or chips and a hand coming and picking some of them up. Oh, there you go. That's what I got first. In fact, the first three images, I would say, are all very crisp related. The fourth one is a man eating a chocolate chip cookie in a cafe. I've gone to the images and it's come up with a donut. And in fact, there's several donuts. And then it's moved on to a whole range of other snacks, including.

Oh, look at those chips. Nice. Then there's fruit. It's got everything. So I found 8,222 results when I put snack into Storyblocks. So, if I was making like a documentary about food or health or snacks in general, I reckon I could make probably a two-hour feature film just with Storyblocks footage and not have to lift a camera myself once.

I could just use all of this. Instead of Top Gun, it could be Top Snack. Top Snack. They've got one here that is just like a real close-up of a lovely glass crystal bowl full of black caviar, beluga, sturgeon, salted roe. Would you consider caviar a snack? I guess it is, isn't it? It's just for very classy snack, isn't it? The other thing I like is that underneath all the things they've found for snack at the top, it says people also searched for delicious, crunchy, tasty, yummy,

appetizing buttermilk, fattening deliciously. In other words, you click on any one of those and a whole bunch of other configurations of thousands of results come up. In other words, you click on any one of those and a whole bunch of other configurations of thousands of results come up. Very searchable, lots of good descriptions and metadata on Storyblocks to help you find the stuff you're looking for. Check them out, people. Storyblocks.com slash unmade. I've never seen so many videos of people sitting on a sofa eating popcorn in all my life. Thank you, Storyblo story blocks very much for making us both very hungry yes that's great all right let's finish this episode so i can get a snack and now here we go well brady sorry okay here we go now br, Brady. Sorry.

Okay. Here we go. Now, Brady. I've just noticed when you do that, well, Brady, like sexy, deep Spoon of the Week voice, I've never noticed you also put on a slightly sexy face. Maybe it's just your hair. That's right. It's hard.

I don't put on a sexy face. It's just that from time to time I turn it off Just for a moment to rest It's my default resting face Normally you're really straining to put on just a normal looking face To make me feel better about myself That's right That's why I have to wear glasses To sort of hold back some of the power of my allure.

Yeah. Just to mask some of it from people passing by. Yeah. Their handsomeness filters those glasses. They certainly are. All right. Oh, what's that spoon? That's an amazing looking handle.

Oh, yes. No, this is a very exciting spoon today. This is a spoon that we picked up in Shepparton when we went and stayed there. We visited Shepparton a couple of times, but I think I know the particular time we went and stayed for two weeks on a dairy farm of some Dutch friends that my father had made. Shepparton is a small town in the middle of Victoria State in the southern part of Australia where pretty much most of the spoons come from and it actually has it's a 3d spoon in in the in the sense that at the top it doesn't have a picture of something on the handle it is a little model of a sort of a little carriage well one of those Cobben Co carriages we used to call them is Cobben Co was that like an Australian thing or is that American as well I think I think that's australian but if you can imagine you know these carriages in the old wild west you know

going through um being pulled by a couple of horses it's that kind of thing where the lady would sit in distress as the horses run away and someone jumps on the front and saves them and you know how it all goes cob and co was an independent aust coaching business. So, yeah, they used to run coaches across Australia, sort of like Uber before there was cars. That's right. Yes, that's right. A far slower Uber Eats that would slowly bring, you know, bacon over four weeks to you when you were out on the goldfields or something. So instead of like the normal enameled handle with like a picture

that so many of the spoons have this is almost like a sculpture of a coach on top of the spoon that's right thank you mr over explainer yes this could be some people's first ever spoon of the week i mean you said we used to go on holidays i'm assuming you mean we the young tim and your parents not your current family no and not you and me we like. Like, we, we. No. Me and my parents, because the spoon comes from the collection of my parents, and we picked up most of them throughout their life, but mainly through my childhood times. I'm always thinking about people who it's their first ever episode.

Right, okay. Which is probably stupid of me. I don't know how many people are going through their, like, their Apple podcast app going, oh, I think I'm going to listen to episode 109 of this podcast I've never heard of where two Australian guys talk about spoons. I guess people might start with the most recent episode, but, yeah. If you're not enjoying it, guys,

there's a lot of really good gold further back if you can go. Where would they have bought that spoon then? Just like a local gift shop or something. If you were staying on a dairy farm, I'm assuming the dairy farm wasn't selling Cobb & Co spoons. No, no, no. You went into Shepparton Town one day or something. Yeah, it actually, I had to be reminded of this because it says on there internet village. And I'm like, internet village?

What does that mean? Internet would make sense, but we certainly got this back before the internet but i googled it in shepard and it's an actually it's an international village and what this is it's a it's a little piece of global futurism that is it's a little village planned in the 1970s that was going to be sort of an international village where, which would have representative buildings and features from things all around the world. The Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, China, Philippines. And it was a bit like a unique little adventure park with a huge playground and picnic spots and that kind of thing. I can't help thinking you put the Netherlands a bit higher on that list than they originally intended. It may have been why we went there because there is a windmill. Oh, yeah. So this is, I'm looking through and it looks all faintly familiar,

but it's a bit like going to a paddock and there's lots of little buildings, you know, that are shaped like different cultures and nations around the world. And you go to each one and I'm sure there's someone there selling lollies wearing the national dress of that particular nation, you know. Around the world in 80 days or 80 minutes. At the Shepparton International Village,

you can do your travelling close to home. It says here in the late, we would have been there in the 1980s, and it says in the late 90s, the international village began to need costly renovation. But then it says in the early 2000s, most of the adventure park was demolished to make way for housing. So it sounds like it started pretty average and went downhill from there. Now that spoon is all that remains.

All that remains is one lost spoon. In the Adelaide collection. Believed to be mine. You know what? I reckon if you took that spoon to Shepparton, to the top of the hill that overlooks Shepparton, and at midday on June the 1st you hold it above your head, a laser shoots out of the handle like in Raiders of the Lost Ark

and points to the location where the international village used to be. We'd be able to find it. That's right, and dig for it yeah yeah it's great i've come i've come to the facebook page there's a shepparton international village facebook page and it's really cool because this is long gone but there's all sorts of stuff like a youtube clip of a tv like a local you know low budget TV advertisement from 1993, which is just by even looking at the first image of it without clicking on it, I can tell it's going to be absolutely magnificent.

The International Village was established in 1975, primarily as a tourist attraction featuring the lifestyles of different cultures. For those who this is your first episode of the Unmade Podcast, Tim and I are partial to an early 90s crappy TV ad. As you enter through the impressive Maltese-style building, commanding a view of the attractive lake and picturesque parkland, you'll set off on a fascinating journey. Particularly for adventure parks that are some of the worst day

you could ever spend in your life. Not when you're a kid. When you're a kid when you're a kid you think it's amazing probably the first thing you'll see will be the dutch windmill that dominates the horizon it has become a landmark for the village a symbol for the many people of dutch heritage who live in the area well perhaps so that's right. I met a genuine person from China. Like, I met a genuine person. And it turns out it's, you know, Barry from the farm wearing a skirt or, you know what I mean? Pretending to be. There's a hell of a lot of insensitivities going on, I think, looking at it at 2022 eyes. As you pass through the brightly painted entrance gates of the Chinese Pavilion and cross the arched bridge so reminiscent of the willow pattern plate legends, you'll feel yourself stepping into a century-long past. There also seems to be some photos of protests, so there seems to have been some protests about its closure

or protests about its demolition or maybe protesting asking for its demolition. Who can know? But anyway, I've got a spoon. And you don't have to travel to be able to shop internationally. The gift shop and the various pavilions at the village bring you the marketplaces of the world. The international village also provides an ideal setting for special functions such as weddings, seminars and concerts. It's open seven days a week and special concessions are available for families, tours and special events.

The International Village, Parkside Drive, Shepparton, your passport to the world. There'll be a picture of the Spoon in the usual places. There'll be a picture of the spoon in the usual places.

But don't do it right now, because if you do it right now, you're going to miss out on... Moon of the Moon. On second thoughts, do do it now. Now would be a perfect time for a toilet break. Yeah, that's why I always plug the Patreon before Moon of the Week, because I know people are about to get bored and they might go and do it so that's right i mean i'm i'm interested i'm

you've got my attention i promise what which moon i am throwing in for for people who are fans of normal moons this is a bit of a curveball probably not so much of a curveball for you because you're not that into moons the i want to take you tim to an object in space called eris e-r-i-s this is not the moon good choice this is not the moon good choice this is not the moon okay sorry yes no okay yes yes eris is what's known as a trans-Neptunian object, a TNO. And basically that means it's a big object further away than Neptune. Because after you go out past Neptune, which is the last planet, if you don't count Pluto,

you get these things called trans-Neptunian objects. The most famous one is Pluto. Some people like to think of Pluto as a planet, but officially now it's a trans-Neptunian object, which means it's a big object further away than Neptune. Right. And Eris, Eris is another one of them. So Eris is like Pluto. It's another big, big object far, far away.

It's much further away even than Pluto, much further away than Pluto. It's about the same size as Pluto. much further away than pluto it's about the same size as pluto it's very very slightly smaller in width but it's heavier than pluto so you're looking at basically another object just like pluto but further away it's very icy very bright colored because it's icy but it's very cold so you can imagine it's out there slowly going around the sun. It takes 560 years for this thing to do a lap of the sun. Okay. The Earth does a lap of the sun in one year. This takes 557 years.

So it's far, far away, slowly cruising around the sun. I know you haven't got to the point yet, but I have to interrupt with two questions quickly. Yep. Firstly, can you explain what little, what is the controversy? Why isn't Pluto a planet? What's the difference between a large trans-Neptunian object and a planet? There's a, I mean, you're opening a can of worms there,

but do you know what? Funnily enough, the reason Pluto is not a planet anymore is because of Eris. When they found Eris, they were like, hang on, there's loads more of these things out there. Are these all going to be planets or do we need to think more carefully about what a planet is? The main things you're looking at that stops Pluto being a planet and Eris being a planet, partly size. The main thing is whether or not it's cleared its orbit of other objects. Like,

is it big enough to have sort of cleared the stuff out the way or is it still drifting along among the other things along its orbit and things like that? It's almost like about dominance. Has it kind of come to dominate its part of space around the sun? And if there's still lots of other debris and stuff around there, and if the object itself is not big enough, or if it's got a really big moon that's almost the same size as the planet itself, which is one of the problems with Pluto.

Pluto has a moon, which we'll come to another day, that's so big that really it's like two objects orbiting each other. It's not really one small object going around a big object. The center of gravity between Pluto and its moon, which is called Charon, its main moon, is actually outside the two objects. It's sort of between them. And they're orbiting this invisible point in space between them. That's how big, because they're so big, they're kind of going around each other like this as Freddy moves his hands, rather than one going around the other. That's where it comes from.

But when they found Eris, that was one of the things. The guy who found Eris is a guy called Michael Brown, whose Twitter handle, I think, is Pluto Keller. He's considered the guy who killed Pluto as a planet. So anyway, we'll come back to Michael Brown in a minute. Just to interrupt for my second point, it does sound a little bit, calling Pluto not a planet, but a trans-Neptunian object. It's almost like if someone had five kids, right? And they named the first kid Peter, the next Sarah, and then Michael, and then they've got two more kids and they go,

oh, no, we're not going to call them kids. They're just going to be trans Michael objects. You know what I mean? Like they're just two more of the same thing out there, but we've decided that they're not going to be given names. Anyway, coming back to Eris. So Eris is out there doing but we've decided that they're not going to be given names. Anyway, coming back to Eris. So Eris is out there doing its business, but Eris has a moon. They found Eris in 2005, early in the year. Later in the year, they found that Eris, this tiny, tiny object,

twice as far away as Pluto, has a moon going around it. So that's this week's moon of the week, and it's called Dysnomia or Dysnomia. So the fact that it has a moon doesn't qualify... It's not like a qualifier for a planet. It's like, oh, you're a planet, now you've got a moon. No, it's not enough? No, it doesn't qualify, no. Is its moon significantly smaller or of a similar size? The moon is smaller.

The moon's about a quarter or about a third the size of Eris. So quite big, quite big in relation to Eris, but also significantly smaller. It's 700 kilometres across, which makes it about a quarter to a third the size of Eris. These things are so far away, we can't measure them super, super exactly. Right.

And it goes around Eris in a very circular orbit, unusually circular, very, very circular orbit. And it's about 37,000 kilometers away from Eris as it just quietly goes around Eris in a circle. Dysnomia. Now, when they first found Eris, they called it Xena. That was its original sort of informal name before a formal name was chosen. And they named it after Xena, Warrior Princess. Oh, yeah, right. So when they found the moon going around it, they originally called it Gabrielle,

who I understand is the sidekick of Xena in Xena, Warrior Princess in the TV show. I never watched it, but yeah, anyway. I didn't either, really, but that was the TV show. I never watched it, but yeah, anyway. I didn't either really, but that was the psychic. So now that the moon is called Dysnomia or Dysnomia, that's actually named after the Greek goddess of lawlessness, which is considered a bit of a funny coincidence because Xena was played by Lucy Lawless. Right, okay. So some people think there's some deliberate link there, but that's actually a pure

coincidence. The reason it was called dysnomia or dysnomia is because Mike Brown, the guy who found it, his wife is called Diana, who he calls Di, and he wanted to incorporate her name into it. So, that's why he calls it dysnomia. He sort of lobbied for that. So, it'd be partly named after his wife, which I think is a nice little nugget nugget so all the moons we've been doing so far have been moons going around planets but today is a moon going around a trans-neptunian object do you want to see it yes please you know me and trans-neptunian objects you're always up for a picture so here's a picture of eris and its tiny little moon what was this taken on your phone or something this is when you consider how far away this is

this is pretty impressive that was actually this picture that was taken with the hubble space telescope it looks like you've just like turned on a flashlight the other side of your bedroom and then turn the lights off so is that that little dot there, that's the... That's the moon. And this second picture I've sent you is an artist's concept. So this is just a painting of what it might look like if you were there. Oh, right. But still, you know.

Is that why there's an X-wing fighter in it? So is it still inside our solar system? Yes. Yes. Yes. It's orbiting the sun. The sun's gravity is holding it in place. Right. As I said, it's taking every 560 years, it completes an orbit.

Isn't that amazing? Like in our lifetime, it will only even do a fraction of its orbit. It's pretty lazy really, isn't it? So the name of our solar system is the Milky Way, right? No. Oh. Oh. isn't it so the name of our solar system is the milky way right no oh oh the milky way is the name of our galaxy which is a which is like 100 200 billion stars and just one star in the milky way happens to be the sun and the sun has planets going around it ah that's right

nice yep that's helpful oh good work man I certainly was not aware of this moon. Neither was I. No, there was anyone before Mike Brown came along. No. So thank you for introducing me. A good moon of the week. Yes. Interesting.

So if you could go to Dysnomia or Dysnomia or to the international village at shepparton which would tempt you the most it sounds like there's more to see at dysnomia visiting the beautiful 23 hectare landscape park is a relaxing experience tim yep hover hover nice the domain domain registrar that we know and love that we register our domains with go and check out hover at hover.com slash unmade where you'll get 10% off your first purchase to register the domain of your choice do you know what i just recently registered a domain with hover that will be of some interest to you. Yes. Because you know how they have all the suffixes, you know, your.coms,.net,.com.au,.org,.ninja,

all the ones you normally use day to day. Yeah. But they also have some novelty ones. And I've used one of those because I have registered 21waves.surf. Wow. Oh, that's cool. And because Hover is so easy to use, within minutes of purchasing it, I then diverted it to some of our merchandise. So, if you want 21waves Tim surfing merchandise.. So 21waves.surf. And I think this is a great example of why it's a good idea to register domain names that are useful to you. Because I could say, hey, everyone, if you want to go and get some merchandise,

go to this site and then search this and do this and do that and find that. Or I can just say something that's really catchy and easy to remember, like 21waves.surf. And people are more likely just to type that in and then go and check out all the cool merch. No. A little bit of regret giving you that photo now, but there you go.

There it is on 21waves.surf for all to see. So if you're running a business, you should definitely be going to Hover. But even if you've just got personal things like your dog's Instagram or, you know, your local church or whatever you're doing, it's always a good idea to have a few domain names that are of use, whether you use them to build a website or whether you use them just to divert to another website or social media or whatever. Go and check out Hover.

It's so easy to use. Hover.com slash unmade. And as I said, if you do the slash unmade, 10% off your first purchase. The price is already great. So it's a bargain on top of a bargain. Yeah, it's super cheap. Do it, people.

I did it because you know how I moved the church onto Hover and the church domain, but then it's so cheap that I actually grabbed a bunch of very close variations on those domains as well, just bought them as well, just to grab if people misspell or get things nearby with a few other suffixes and so forth, I grabbed them as well. Grabbed them all at once. If a church is using Hover, is that like basically an endorsement from God or is that not? It doesn't go that far.

I assume it doesn't go that far. Well, my endorsement is a tacit endorsement from God in itself. Disclaimer, God does not endorse Hover. But Brady and Tim do. Thank you, Hover. They're really great supporters of the show. Thank you, Hover. Are we ready yet for your idea about the music?

Yes, it's time for my idea. Awesome. You've been a good boy. You've been a good boy. I've intuitively just grabbed like a pad and pen because I'm just feeling like it's a pad and pen kind of moment like all right my idea for a podcast is that people come on or like contribute in some way there are a million podcasts where people talk about music they like you know desert island discs and then there's a million variations this is another one where it's

just a chance for people to talk about a song but the premise here this song this podcast is called my theme tune and this is a podcast where people have to decide on the song that they would use every time they walked into a room like that would be used to introduce them. It would be like your anthem. Like the Queen obviously has the national anthem when she walks in the room. But everyone has to choose the song they want to play. That's every time they walk into a room. Wow. Like every time Tim walks in, what's the song that gets played on the PA system?

Like with Hail to the Chief when the president walks in. Yeah, like that. So I did ask my wife about this briefly before coming on the show. And she kind of actually has one because for my wife's job, she works in a TV studio and she has to walk into the TV studio all the time. And on Friday, which is a bit more of a fun day in the office, whenever she walks into the studio, the people who run the sound systems and everything play the song All About The Bass by Megan Trainor.

Because you know I'm all about that bass, about that bass, no trouble. So, that's kind of like a song. Whenever, when she walks in, that song starts blaring out. So, she actually has that experience. Oh, that's great. So, I said, so is that your theme tune would that be your theme tune she said no i didn't choose that they just they just play that at their choice if she was going to choose one she said she would want titanium by david guetta sung by sia would she have sia singing it or you singing it?

Because I like that. Me singing it will not be included in the podcast. That was just heard by you. Give it to the Patreon supporters. Come on, come on, that's cold. You shoot me down But I won't fall down I am Titanic audrey has one sometimes if we're in a good mood we and we're playing with audrey we will play the

song chihuahua by louise avera and his band lua boys i don't know how to pronounce that but there's a song called chihuahua is Chihuahua. Chihuahua. Is anything coming to mind yet for you? I'm not going to lock you in yet, but is any songs coming to mind for you yet? That would be the theme tune that plays, like every time Tim gets up on the stage to do a sermon or walks in the room or, you know.

I actually love the bit from Schindler's List, you know, the sort of the lovely solo, but I think that's a little bit Dow, isn't it? No. But I also think of the songs that I've chosen over the years as the ringtone because that's a tune you're happy to listen to over and again and sort of announces whoever you're going to speak to you know it's their theme tune here's someone calling me now and those songs i've had

a song called perfect day by lou reed i've had that for a couple of years now and it's still there and i really love that song there's another lovely song called All This Time by Sting and it sort of launches in a wonderful, energetic, beautiful tune. All this time The river flows So that would be a good one too. I feel like this is a song choice though where, I mean, obviously it's up to you and the individual to choose what song they want.

But I feel like this is different to a song you like or a song you're willing to listen to lots of times. It should be more a song that says something about you. Yeah. Like, and it says something to the audience and the people in the room. It makes a statement about you and who you are, which is where I think this is a different to my favourite song or a song I like. There's a different criteria here. I think I've told this story before on the podcast, but one thing that I always find mildly amusing is the Australian cricket team, quite a number of years ago now, went through a phase where they decided they would have songs play when the players came out to bat. So, when it was your turn to to bat you were choosing a song and yeah the captain

of the australian team at the time a man named steve war chose the song better man by pearl jam which when you when you first think of it sounds like a cool thing you know because there's this line that you know talking about being a better man and stuff like that and it's at first you think and it's a quite a cool sounding song so you'd think oh yeah that's a cool choice that makes a statement as you come out to bat to say how good you are and that but of course when you actually listen to that song the song is about domestic abuse isn't it and a woman who's i think she's tolerating domestic abuse because she thinks she can't find a better man. Can't find a better man. Yeah, yeah. It was a terrible choice, but I don't know why that was able to happen.

But it was a terrible choice of song. But anyway, so you do want to be a bit careful, I guess, about your song choice. I remember you two say that about how people use their song One as the wedding dance in people's weddings. You know, we're going to be one. We're going to be, we were two. Now we're one. We've got married. But actually it's about, you know, we're one, but we're not the same.

And there's, you know, the differences and the struggles and the reality. It's a much more gritty and realistic song, which again might be appropriate, but it's not just about... It's not a good wedding. No, no, it's not. A sentiment for a wedding. I think politicians often have this on the campaign trail, don't they? It's not just the president, but they will have something particular that's playing just before they get up and get the speech and it becomes their particular theme song. So you'd think I would have had a good suggestion here because I thought of the idea, but I actually haven't given it much thought myself as to what I want it to be.

The thing that gave me the idea, though, I think, was, you know how when you start your car, if it automatically connects to your Bluetooth, it'll play the last song you were playing. And for about three or four times in a row, the song that I had queued up happened to be the Star Wars theme by John Williams. For some reason, I had been listening to it for some reason. And because I don't listen to a lot of music, the music hadn't skipped on. So, every time I started my car for two or three weeks, the Star Wars music would start. And it was actually a really cool way to start a drive to have the Star to press start you can't then have the star wars music go but that's not my theme the song i'm going with for now until i think of a better one is the song when you walk in the room by paul carrick which is a song i quite like from the

from the olden days Guitar playing, lovely tunes. Every time that you walk in the room. That's nice. I'm going with that, pending a more appropriate one. Oh, golly. You got an idea yet? Okay, remember when you said, Tim, you're going to wish, oh, I wish I had more time for this.

That's exactly the moment. I will let you in parish notices next week come back with some more suggestions because I know it's unfair to put you on the spot like this. Yeah, it's really, there's some beautiful songs, but you're really thinking about the first little bit of it or the way how it explodes and creates. Yeah, you do need to pick like a 20 or 30 second because you can't play a whole song every time you're in the room i do think you want to pick something that just yeah sets a mood and says something about you and there's a song by the stone roses called she bangs the drums and um you know and that sort of launches off in a very happy like that gives me a lot of great feelings and i got a lot of lovely memories associated with it the the riff i play the most is a song called teenage riot by sonic youth and that has a it's not quite the start of it but the riff that's a that's a you know sort of i'd feel like yeah that's mine like i play it all the time whenever i pick up a and

what mood does it create what statement would it be saying about here's tim hein it's it's sort of like it's a very energetic and determined um but but groovy sort of you know drive to it so i would i feel like if i was running upstairs yeah here we go you know up onto a stage that'd be a good one to go you're not thinking a bit of simply the best by tina turner no no i'm not no no do you know what like that obviously that joke that song is much malign now and how it was used by david brent in the british office you know has become legendary yeah but it is still a really uplifting motivational song and we and for australians obviously it's very much associated with the sport of rugby league because in the 1980s i think they used as their promotional song and they had these really like innovative advertisements that became really famous and popular in australia

and it got to the point where every year when the rugby league grand final was played tina turner would be flown in to sing that song at the at and stuff like that. So it's very associated with rugby in Australia. And still I sometimes go back and watch those ads. And that song is very motivational. There's a good one. I can imagine people picking something like Walking on Sunshine, you know, which is just right from the first bar is just like lifts the spirit. Walk of Life by Dire Straits has that nice little kind of jaunty jaunty sort of bit of

keyboards in it that would be quite nice to walk into as well i think i've mentioned before the song your love keeps lifting me higher and higher it's got that lovely dent dent dan a dent dent you know that's the sort of soul feel i like that i like that a lot i know it lifts my heart a lot when i hear that yeah this is a really good idea. If you could just really pick. Let's spend another 15, 20 minutes just pondering this for a little while. When it's your turn to preach at church, do they play any music when you come up or do you just walk up in like solemn silence?

Generally, I come on just after the person's read a passage of scripture okay it would be good to have a theme tune though wouldn't it be really great the kids get a theme tune when they head out to sunday school they get the theme from bluey or remember for a while colonel katrina and the band would launch into the sofa shop theme i mean you could ask colonel katrina to compose you something and she could literally play it when you go up on stage that is a wonderful idea that is a brilliant idea yes absolutely i need a theme tune because just like in star wars there's luke's theme tune and layers and heart you know all the characters have their own bit of music it's time for tim to have a bit of music and whenever it's it's the dark side or darth vader

is i wouldn't want that as i get up to preach. That would be quite difficult to overcome. That would be quite cool to walk in the room to, though. Maybe Blue Monday by New Order would be a good idea. I like that. I don't think you're getting it. I think you're too inclined to pick cool bits of music. You're not grasping that it has to be, you know, when you walk in the room by Paul Carrick is nowhere near my favourite song or the coolest song,

but I just think it would be a cool thing to walk into the room to and it sets a mood. I think you need to think more outside what you think are cool songs what why would i go with something that's not a cool song like why you want to get the ambience and the mood of something hmm maybe something by harry conick or something with a bit of brass or you know what i mean that's a bit yeah yeah i was thinking just back on um because I mentioned the sofa shop, I was thinking about 21 waves and surfing and so forth. If I was ever to open a surf shop, I would call it the surfer shop.

The surfer shop. The surfer shop is your only stuff for the surfboard you need. Nice. Good idea. That's a great idea. I'm going to give, I'm going to think about nothing else until we come to our next episode and have parish news because I will have a top three with a definitive one answer at that point.

Okay. All right. I wouldn't mind some movie score, like a bit of forrest gump bit of alan silvestri no no no or the slow one No, I'd go more the uplifting Forrest Gump. You probably wouldn't want Jaws, would you? Who's you? The score for True Romance is quite a nice background sound. That would be quite nice to walk into a room to.

How do you remember that? Because I've edited lots of things to it. I've used it in lots of videos over the years that I've made. It's one of my favourite pieces of music to edit to. Oh, nice. The Indiana Jones theme is a wonderful crew. Yeah, that's more of it. Yeah, it depends if you want to make a low-key entrance. Do you want to be a hero when you walk in the room? yeah. That's great. Yeah, it depends if do you want to make a low-key entrance,

do you want to be a hero when you walk in the room? Yeah, that's true. It could be something like What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, you know, just very slow and you sort of glide in. Hi, everyone. The pressure's off. If you come into Indiana Jones, then the pressure's on to do something spectacular when you're there.

You know, you've got to have a hat and a whip and you'd better be on horseback. But if you're just walking into a room if you want to lower expectations you could walk into the room to a sound effect like oh dear that's classic teenage dirtbag would be good for that imagine if you became the president and you decided, no, from now on, it's not going to be hail to the chief. I'm going to walk into beautiful day by you two. And then for eight years or four years.

Or imagine if the president chose teenage dirtbag. It sounds like something that would happen in an Adam Sandler movie where he became president, you know? And he's wearing sloppy clothes and he's just some jerk. Beautiful. Good idea. Great idea. All right. I'm sick with jealousy that you had that idea.

I'm glad you had it and I've loved talking about it, but damn it, why did you think of it? In the next episode, Tim's going to think about it and he'll give us some candidates in the next episode for himself. I'll try and come up with a better one than Paul Carrick when you walk in the room. And also send us a message either on Twitter or reddit or email get in touch with us and let us know what you would pick we'd love to hear from other people you know because you might

have a better idea than us you almost certainly will i like the idea of lemon from you too you don't have such a distinctive sound it would just be unlike anything else or the start of you're the voice by john farnham you know oh yes oh yeah with the clapping
