What about your mum, though? I thought you'd be watching it with your mum. I forgot mum. No, she'll watch it at home. I forgot mum. I messaged your mum and asked her what she was doing for the coronation. Oh, right. I didn't actually think.

So, Tim, in a recent episode, we discussed the hiccups, how one can cure the hiccups, and I asked people to let us know what they were up to. Heard from quite a few people. Is there any overriding consensus on a remedy? I wouldn't say overriding consensus. Everyone thinks they've got the answer. Alex underscore Lupin said, basically, I focus on breathing slowly and evenly,

though I don't count or anything. And I envision a stack of pancakes inside my ribs with butter and syrup oozing down. It's basically a way of focusing on relaxing my chest and diaphragm. Hiccups are usually gone within about 20 seconds. Oh, right. That's quite a yummy sounding solution. I love the idea of buttery, oozing, syrupy pancakes inside my ribs. In fact, there usually is some buttery, oozy, syrupy pancakes inside my ribs. In fact, there usually is some buttery, oozy, syrupy pancakes inside my ribs. It's usually what's caused the hiccups because I've downed them so quickly. There's a bit of belching and then there we go.

Someone named Tommy got in touch and said, Tim and Brady, on the latest episode, you mentioned ways of getting rid of hiccups. I think my version is rather unique. I always fill my cheeks with water, bend over at the waist and then swallow. I've been doing it this way since I was 10 and it's always worked. Whenever I tell a friend to do it this way, they give me a strange look, but about nine times out of 10, it works for them as well. I have heard of that one before. I remember being told that you're supposed to drink a glass of water upside down.

And I never knew what that meant, but I've certainly tried it several times. I was always told you've got to drink a glass of water out the back of the cup. And I never understood what that meant. Oh, so you have to bend over the other side of the rim, maybe. Which is sort of similar to what Tommy's suggesting. You could drown trying this. I mean, there's no use curing your hiccups, but drowning. I mean, that's hardly an improvement in your situation.

And that is a really embarrassing death. Yes. He died drinking out the back of a cup. That's right. But this was interesting. This combined our hiccups talk and our recent talk about superpowers. This comes from Yanev in Israel. Hi, Brady and Tim.

I do have a useless hiccup superpower, which is even more lame than stopping hiccups. I can actually start hiccups on demand. Wow. I have a certain point in my chin that makes me start to hiccup when I rub it. When I exaggerate and keep rubbing it, it causes a hiccup attack that can last for several minutes with no known way to stop it. What do you think about that? A secret point on your chin that you can rub to start the hiccups. It's like you're doing martial arts on yourself. Like, it's kind of interesting

but pointless. You know what I mean? Like, if I could walk up to someone else and know that I could, every time I pressed my wife's neck in a certain place, you got hiccups. That would be a fun prank. But doing it to myself is not fun. That's just annoying, but interesting. I didn't ask Yaniv whether or not other people can do it to him. Like if someone comes up and touches his secret chin spot,

whether or not it, what are we going to call it? We're going to call it his H spot. That's right. His cup, his H. Yeah, that is interesting. Anyway, I couldn't resist and I asked Yaniv to send me a video of this in action. I wanted to see this to believe it. Oh, brilliant, yes.

So there'll be a link in the show notes. If you're watching this on video, you're about to see it. And Tim, I'm going to send it to you. If you're listening on the podcast alone, you're about to hear it, which I don't think will have quite the same impact. But, you know, here's Yaniv demonstrating his H spot. Hey, Tim and Brady. So this is my demonstration of my hiccup superpower.

So I have this spot in my chin. my hiccup superpower. So I have this spot in my chin. When I haven't saved a lot of people using this superpower, but who knows, maybe someday. Oh, now this is, like, I don't know what to make of this but for those who who don't have the visuals um it's in a it's sort of in his beard it's the sort of the chin where you'd rub if you were suspicious about something which is exactly what i was sort of doing while he was doing it because i'm not sure this is for real. Really? Do you think? Well. Maybe I'm too trusting.

He just seems like a trustworthy guy. He definitely does, but that's how these fake hip-hop people get you in. They do. He's the Nigerian prince of hiccups. I've got another one of those. Fake hip-hop emails and videos. Look, I don't know what to make of it because I can't imagine any physiological link between rubbing your chin and hiccuping.

It seems peculiar. I don't want to make it up. Maybe there's some nerve or something. I don't know. There are people who get hiccups whenever they go out. No, no, that's yawning, isn't it, in sunlight? I don't know. Oh that up. Or nerve or something. I don't know. There are people who get hiccups whenever they go out. No, no, that's yawning, isn't it, in sunlight? I don't know. Oh, right.

Okay. Yeah. Yes. No, I don't know. No, I don't know. You're right. Hmm. More investigation to be done.

Yes, indeed. I like- Watch the video yourself, people. Watch the video yourself. Tell us if you think Jan is for real. And if you have a magical part of your body that can be pressed to cause some kind of physical reaction, let us know. Send us a video. It's like a trap door. Like, you know how like Batman has that thing where he pulls back the bust and presses the button and a secret door

opens and he goes through. This is like if your body was a house, you push one button and a secret thing happens somewhere else in your body. It's like a cause and effect that shouldn't be related, a hidden. You know, it reminds me more of that, you know, in Kill Bill, there's that magic punch you can do to kill people. If you punch them in the right place, like in five places and stuff, like it's like he's got that. Yes, and they take five steps and then they collapse, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, and he's got one of those. Like what if he went to the doctor and he showed the doctor and he says, how many times have you done that? And he's like, I don't know, I've been doing it for two- Don't do it. You do that 437 times and your head will fall off. It's like- It's like-

It's like- It's a booby trap. It's a booby trap in your body. That's- Oh, man. Watch's a booby trap in your body. Oh, man. Watch the video, people. See what you think. Another section we talked about was I Met Your Hero, where the idea was, you know, where people come on and talk about meeting other people's heroes. Anyway, this comes from Katie in Portland.

This comes from Katie in Portland. or train and I introduce myself, tell him I'm a fan, and we end up spending the day touring around the city. Sometimes I'm showing him around my city, sometimes he's showing me around his. These dreams come around a couple of times a month. I don't think they are necessarily correlated with new episodes, but I haven't collected hard data on that yet. So if a friend of mine were to tell me they met Brady, I would be quite annoyed, since I'm the one literally dreaming about it. were to tell me they met Brady, I would be quite annoyed since I'm the one literally dreaming about it. Thanks for the laughs and wholesome fun from Katie. P.S. I have had one dream about meeting Tim so far.

He was terribly delightful. That's a good thing, right? Terribly delightful. I think so. That's better than delightfully terrible. Certainly, yes. Do you dream about me often, Tim? Not often

Sometimes You're a huge part of my waking hours So I do need some Time away from you when I'm asleep That's your break Yeah it's a bit of a break A bit of me time You know

Yeah Going to my non-Brady cave Just you and Jon Bon Jovi In your dreams That's right That's right That's right Yeah No I don't surprisingly No you don't pop up Just you and Jon Bon Jovi in your dreams. That's right. That's right. That's right.

Yeah. No, I don't surprisingly. No, you don't pop up, but you never look far from my thoughts. What about me? Am I in your dreams? No. No, hardly at all. I mean, you are the man of my dreams, but you're rarely in my dreams.

I daydream about you, but I don't sleep dream about you. No. So, Katie, thanks for that message. If I'm ever in Portland, I'll send you a message and I'd love to be shown around your city. Likewise, if you're ever in the same city as me, I'm happy to show you around. I feel like I want to fly to Portland just to hang out with Katie. You know what I mean?

Just to tell you that I hung out with you. Oh, no, actually, no, it wouldn't work. It's the other way around. I feel like I want to fly and hang out with you just so I can show Katie I've hung out with you. But I imagine she thinks that we've already done that. So it's not really getting fitting. Just a quick bit of follow-up from the bean dish quiz. I did some poor research, apparently, on names of prime ministers. In relation to the name James, British prime ministers called James, apparently Gordon Brown, Harold Wilson and Ramsay MacDonald all had the middle name James.

I missed that out. Oh, yes. And so thanks, Waruch J. And BudgieMan67 also pointed out when it came to Australian prime ministers called Edward, I missed out Gough Whitlam, whose first name is actually Edward. His name's Edward Gough Whitlam. I didn't know that. There you go.

And he's a very famous Australian prime minister, so there we go. But Tim didn't know either, so it doesn't really matter. I didn't want to bring it up at the time. I didn't want to embarrass you. No. All right. Ideas for a podcast. Tim, I've had an idea for a podcast.

Yes. Now, you're going to be really happy with this idea because I've got a really good pretentious name for it. All right. Do tell. I know you love a good pretentious podcast name. I'm going to call this podcast Anus Mirabilis, which is Latin for miraculous year, year of miracles, or it could more generally mean just wonderful year, something like that. And the idea for this podcast is there's a few ways we can take it. It can be one where people come on and talk about their greatest year, the best year of their life, which is what I want it to be. Yes.

People talking about the best year of their life. But you could also make it about other just great years in general, the greatest year in the history of movies, the greatest year in the history of sport, things like that, the greatest year of your particular team you like or someone you're interested in. Just a great year. And, of course, there are multiple ways

you can think about the year as well. You can think about, is it like a calendar year from January to December? Or is it a year of your life, like between your birthdays, like my 30th year of my life? Or just an arbitrary year starting from one point to 365 days into the future? I like the idea of it being a calendar year. I think that's neater and cleaner. So, that's how I'm playing it today. Just something on the term Annus Mirabilis, that's been used, it's used in a few different contexts, but perhaps the most famous context is Albert Einstein. People always talk about his Annus Mirabilis, which was 1905. In 1905, he wrote four scientific papers, any one of which would have changed science forever. The one he actually got cited on the Nobel Prize for was about the photoelectric effect,

which of the four is perhaps now the least significant, I don't know. One on Brownian motion, one on special relativity, which is a really big deal uh and we also had the e equals mc squared paper was written that year as well so it was like his like it was his it was an amazing year his annus mirabilis 1905 isaac newton also had one of those years his was 1666 and he wrote all sorts of really really incredible papers that year. It's also apparently the year he supposedly saw the apple fall from the tree, which made him sort of have the light bulb moment where he came up with gravity, gravitation.

He saw an apple falling and then thought about the moon and the earth and realised that the moon was falling to the earth and things like that. So that was an amazing year. Pull you up there, man. I don't think a light bulb was involved. I think that's someone else, isn't it? Yeah, no, it wasn't. There were no light bulbs. A candle went off in his brain.

Interestingly enough, there was a really bad plague that year, which caused them to close down Cambridge University, which is why Newton had so much spare time to do all this amazing thinking. So, he got helped out by the play. Oh, right. So anyway, amazing years. I mean, maybe a better name is, you know, the best year ever, the best year of my life.

But I thought you might appreciate the fancy pants Latin name. Well, firstly, I love this idea. I think this is a really good idea and it's pleasurable to think about and to talk about and to hear about. Can I just clarify something on the name? You know, many people when you say that name will cast their minds back to 1992 when the Queen said that it was Annas Horribilis because it was a terrible year.

That's my sister podcast I'm going to talk about later. Let's save that for next time. Well, but was she using that turn of phrase playing on the idea of what is your ones? Anus mirabilis? Anus mirabilis. Not anus. Anus. No, that's-

Anus mirabilis. Yeah, it's the same thing. And both are commonly used. So the queen was using the same term. it's the same thing. And both are commonly used. So the Queen was using the same term. It's the negative version. 1992, where there was lots and lots of negative press coverage about the royal family. Two of her children got divorced, Anne and Andrew. And then Windsor Castle burned down.

Windsor Castle, yeah. Well, it didn't burn down. It's still there. No, indeed, yes. Yes. But it was a terrible fire. Mirabilis also being one of the disciples that I couldn't remember from Jesus from the bean dish quiz a few weeks ago. You know, this is a great idea.

Tim, have you had an anus mirabilis in your life? I think I have. You gave me a little heads up on this. I didn't quite understand the full scope of it, but I did go looking through photos and reflecting. And it's very hard to pick a great year. Many big things happen in different years. So you've got to look at a whole bunch of things that happen in one year for one reason. But I have settled on one. Let me ask you this. Which decade of my life do you think it is? Have I gone childhood, teen years, 20s or since? You've almost definitely gone 1990s.

No, I haven't. Oh. I will come. They do get a mention a bit later on. Unless you've sold out and you've decided to do something to do with your kids and the birth of your kids. No, not their birth, no. Gosh, no, they were tough years.

They're for the other podcast idea. Apart from their birth, then there's no sleep and then all sorts of other things. Anubis sleeplessness. This is indeed. Indeed. Indeed. No, I've gone with 2016.

Wow, quite recent yes yes well seven years ago but yeah well look it was an incredible year 2016 in lots of little pleasurable ways so it's it's the year so i'll take you i actually made a list and i was amazed at how long the list was of things that happened um and let me take you through them it's it there's a lot of there's oh it's it's a wonderful year for all sorts of ways i'll end with one very exciting one though that's very important the first one is in january we bought this blow-up slide to go into the pool so we had a backyard pool at the time. Oh, my God, this is going to be the longest thing ever if you're going into this level of detail. No, no, no, no, no.

They do go big up from here. But I have to tell you, that was awesome. You clearly have not been on this slide to not understand the significance of the massive blow up slide for the year okay yeah and and it goes on it was also the year i turned 40 so there was a sense of taking stock of life and stuff as well so turned 40 and that sort of had a bit of a line in the sand moment about it and and to do with that there are all sorts of fun things that happened as well like i took to trip down to trogan where I grew up and took the kids to see my old house.

And that's all really wonderful and pleasurable kind of stuff as well. My wife was ordained as a minister. So that's a big year. And that was a big vocational, the culmination of a big new vocational sort of path that she'd taken. And so she was ordained as a minister. Another cool but small thing was we had two massive trees in the backyard cut down, and that was like an epic three-day adventure of cool branches falling and sawdust everywhere,

and that was heaps and heaps of fun. I went to Laos for another friend who got married, and I officiated at his wedding over in Laos. That was a cool trip. We then went on a US trip. We went to Washington and to, I had a conference in Princeton and then we went to New York and that was a wicked year with showing the kids America and spending a week in New York. That was great.

Yeah. I laid new lawn in the backyard, which is one of the most satisfying things you can do ever i got a book deal so i got a publishing deal for a book to write a book that was pretty pretty massive thing uh the cure to it so i saw the cure um i've seen them a bunch of times but you know it only happens once a decade i got new glasses frames always an important year only happens every few years yeah my wife got dreadlocks which was a big fun thing that i just noticed my girls learned to ride so they got bmxs and really it was a year of learning to ride so that was like a big achievement and we we didn't start the podcast right we started that

a year later but we had the idea for doing a podcast and it took us an hour a year of texting back and forward to to okay get around to coming up. And so I thought that was a pretty, like, that's a cool thing too. And that was 2016. That was the year that was. That's big. So that was a lovely year. Wow.

I also got this really cool secondhand tweed jacket, Harris tweed jacket. But, you know, I don't want to go into too much detail. But that's a good one. Well, I was going to praise you for narrowing it down to one, but then you really blew it up when you did pick your one. Because I haven't been able to choose one, my anise. Oh. But I've got a few contenders.

Can I just share with you the contenders if I promise not to go into that level of detail? Isn't that the point, that you hone in on a year and then you show all the stuff? Well, if we were making the whole podcast, yes. Sorry, this is the unmade podcast. I take it all back. You make the case. You make the case. I actually put 1993 as a contender, our final year of high school.

Yes. You know, our graduation year. Because, you know, that was the year we were the kings of the school. Yes. You know, our graduation year. Because, you know, that was the year we were the kings of the school and, you know, even though it involved, you know, final exams and stuff like that, that doesn't seem traumatic to me in any way. And it just seemed like a cool year. I agree. You know, we were graduating.

The guys in 90210 were going through important years of school with us as well. And it just felt like we were going through life together with Jason Priestley and Luke Perry. I think I got my driver's license. Yeah, yeah. We had like the prom and the school breakfast and all sorts of fun stuff that doesn't matter but feels like a big deal at the time. Yeah. And, you know, we felt like, you know,

you feel like the centre of the universe for that year. Like, you know, we felt important. It was a good year. It was a a big deal at the time. Yeah. And, you know, we got- yeah, we felt like, you know, you feel like the centre of the universe for that year. Like, you know, we felt- it felt important. It was a good year. It was a really good year. It was a good year. I enjoy- I think it was my favourite year of high school, definitely. It was the year that I felt like it was, you know, it was a good year. And other years, it felt like a struggle, so.

I also put 1995. That was the year I got my first- the year I got my job at the advertising newspaper and I went into the work world and that was like a real fun baptism of fire for me. I made a bunch of new friends. I started going out drinking for the first time after work and having that kind of party lifestyle for the first time and you know, dabbling with alcohol, which I don't recommend. You became an adult in 1995. It took a little while, which I don't recommend. But you became an adult in 1995. It took a little while, but you did.

I feel like you became an adult. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it was. It was that, you know. And, you know, there was the final fling before starting that work as well, where we were like hanging out and stuff. And it was just a really fun time. And it was still carefree, even though I was starting a profession.

It was still a very carefree point in my life. That's right. I think that was the year that I'd moved out, wasn't it? And you were coming around and hanging out. And, like, Shane Warne got his hat trick in the cricket. You know, it was that sort of summer of KFC and cricket and playfulness before you started your job. And then I went back to uni. The summer of KFC.

Yeah, there was a hell of a lot. Because we live with a guy who managed the KFC, Graham. We've talked about Graham before, legend. We have. I also put 1998. So by this point I was into my work. It was the year I moved in with my mate Rod. It was the year of the 1998 World Cup and him and I both took the month off

and turned our house into this like party house for the duration of the World Cup. Sort of of those years of working and living with Rod, who I lived with for a number of years and that, it was probably the most memorable. It was just a really, again, carefree, fun, friends, good, really good times. So, 98 would have to be up there. And then a few more recent ones, they aren't more recent, but moving to the UK now. 2006 was a really great year for me. I had a lot of interesting travel. I went to India for the first time. I came back to Australia. And then I also started working on this BBC special project for a year, which I really enjoyed. It was a real

creative time for me. It was a real progressive time for me professionally. I was on that project that I met my later-to-be wife, and I made a bunch of new friends, and we were out all the time having a great time outside of work hours. It was just a really fun year. Did you come over that year, 2006? I did, yeah. You did?

Yeah, you came over? I saw you got to see Tim. Because I remember we did some cool stuff together, but then I also do remember meeting your new girlfriend, who you're now married to. Yes, exactly. Yep, yep. Exciting.

It was my 30th birthday, which was a really fun time as well, fun night. You know, it was a really fun time. 2009 would probably be up there. It was the year of my wedding, which is probably the best day of my life, and had lots of really interesting travel. Went to Paris and Rome, went to see a solar eclipse in China. Honeymoon was a safari in Africa. Really great year.

And 2013 was a really amazing year as well for travel. Australia. I did some really interesting videos that year. It was quite a creative year for like Numberphile and stuff. Went to the Maldives, Palm Springs, Glastonbury. Moved to the West Country where I live now, out near Bristol, went to Chile and saw a bunch of amazing telescopes and stuff, did some interesting trips around England.

That was a really, really fun year as well, 2013. I don't know. I don't know which of those I would choose. Well, I don't think there's any left. I feel like you're moving away from the spirit of this. I thought that the point was to nail it. You've got to nail your colours to the last of the year. I haven't nailed it yet. If I was invited onto the podcast, I would have thought the point was to nail it. You've got to nail your colours to the last of the year. I haven't nailed it yet. I haven't nailed it.

If I was invited onto the podcast, I would have to choose a year, and I would, and it would probably be between those ones. Right. Here's a year for you, Tim. 1939, Annis Mirabilis of movies. That's what I've – well, you know, I went looking for some movies before. Well, here are movies from that year. Yeah.

The Roaring Twenties, Stagecoach, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Gone with the Wind. We've got The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights, I believe. Like, 1939 is considered the golden year of Hollywood. The golden year of the golden years of Hollywood. Yep. 1939. I don't remember it myself, but I'll take your word for it. There's some big name films there.

What do you think is the best year of film in your lifetime? Well, I don't know. I haven't had time to research it. I don't know. I don't know. I'm rubbish. You're very good at remembering the years that things happen. I'm not very good at it.

Oh, okay. So, like, I can't remember the year of most films. So, it's just all a pack. Everything in my life is before and after 9-11. Right. And even that I'm a bit patchy with some things. So, I'm not very good at remembering the years of things. There's only a few years that I know the thing happened.

I know 9-11 happened in 2001. Yes, that's right. Yes. I know I got married in 2009. Yes. I know we graduated in 93 and I started working at the advertiser in 95. I think they're probably the only things I can name the years of. And now the birth of my baby as well.

What was the year that we won the indoor cricket championship thing that I was like your desperate call up stand in man for? It was before 9-11. It was before 9-11. Well, we were talking the other day about 1994 and how there was, you know, all those in the bean dish quiz. Remember the Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump, you know, there are those sorts of things.

So that's obviously a pretty good year. I was going back and I've been watching, I think I mentioned in the last podcast, I've been watching a lot of the films of the 1970s that I've missed out on over the years. And 1976 feels like a really bumper, bumper year. I watched Rocky the other day, which is – I could see why it's popular. It's become really iconic.

But that won the Best Picture Oscar in 1976. But there were a bunch of films that were there that were all really good. All the President's Men, a famous film. Network, which I watched the other day and which is an outstanding film and should have won. And Taxi Driver, which is probably regarded as one of the best films of the 70s. They were all in 1976. Good. Bumpy, yeah.

Bumpy, yeah. Yeah. But the 70s are a bit like that with film. Lots and lots of really, really great films all the time. So that seems to be a particularly good year. I did ask you whether you could cast your eye over music. Have you got a good music year for me? Well, Brady, yes, I do.

All right, sit back. All right. If you thought my 2016 was detailed, then wait for this. No, no. Look, I've got two years that I think are pretty significant in music. I think generally regarded 1991 and 1989 are regarded as amazing years in music. And 1991 in particular, because in the space of a few months, some of the biggest albums of all time through, you know, sort of from that 90s era were released.

There's Nevermind by Nirvana and Ten by Pearl Jam. You've got the double album Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by Guns N' Roses. Yeah. Then you've got Ak-Tung Baby by U2 and you've got R.E.M.'s Out of Time. Now, all of those albums that I've just mentioned sold more than 10 million copies each. But there's also really interesting albums. The White Room by the KLF. Do you remember the KLF?

They were really last train to San Central. And Metallica's Black Album, which has sold like 30 million copies. And the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic. And it goes on and on. There's heaps and heaps and heaps of albums that have become quite iconic and have lasting and staying power. Some really influential albums as well, which I won't go a deep dive into, but like Bloody- My Bloody Valentine and A Tribe Called Quest.

So, 1991 is generally regarded as a pretty phenomenal year in music. Yeah. 1989 is a bit less so, but there's a few really significant albums that came out. There's a few new hip-hop albums by D La Soul, Three Foot High and Rising, which is, you know, generally regarded as one of the best albums of all time. And the Stone Roses' first album comes out. And one of my favourite albums, I was a massive Janet Jackson fan

and her album Rhythm Nation comes out in 1989. Right. But anyway, I could go on and on. But, yeah, 91 and 89 are pretty good. Okay. 94 is good, yeah. 1969 was a very big year apparently because of not only was that the year that Woodstock happened, but I read – this is just me reading a list.

I did a bit of research. Yeah, yeah. Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin. Neil Young, Neil Young. David Bowie, David Bowie. Velvet Underground, Velvet Underground. That was a bit of a theme that year. David Bowie, David Bowie, Velvet Underground, Velvet Underground. That was a bit of a theme that year.

Jodie Mitchell, Clouds, The Who, Tommy, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Crosby, Stills and Nash. But you also had Abbey Road, Led Zeppelin II then, of course. There were big albums for Credence Clearwater Revival, Rolling Stones, Let It Bleed. Oh, yeah. But I feel like the 60s are a bit like that, aren't they? Like, so many things happened in the 60s and so many albums and there's so much culture that's pervasive from the 60s.

Like, it's like films in the 70s. Like, they all had to have somewhere. And there's only 10 years. So, they- You know what I mean? Know what- They would have had good years. But the 60s are a bit like for you pre and post 9-11 they sort of just grouped together in some sort of hazy period there do you think the moon landing would be as awesome as it is if it had happened six months later and happened in 1970 the fact it happened in 1969 it just got into the coolest decade like it's just

like we're gonna land on the moon while the dwell's still cool. Anything that happens in the 70s sucks. Maybe that's why JFK says we will land a man on the moon in this decade because it's a cool decade. It's the 60s. We can't do it in the 70s. Everything's going to be all dark and grungy and sad. We're going to do it in the summer of love. Yeah.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. I did look up great years in sport. There are various articles about it. I read a really good case made for 2008 being one of the great years in sport. It was very American-centric, though. It was a great year in American sport. I haven't done enough research to tell you what I think the greatest year of sport is.

And that's always a very parochial one. It depends on your country and who was winning what in a particular year. But if you read about 2008, that was a good year in sport. Was it an Olympic Games year? Was that part of it? Which does help, yes. Yes. Yeah.

That's cheating a little bit. Yes, which does help, yes. Yes, yeah. That's cheating a little bit. Yes, it does. There are moments when you hear of massive underdogs winning, you know, the World Series or something like that that's pretty significant. Yeah, and there was a lot of underdogs in 2008. So, Annis Mirabilis, great years. Annis Mirabilis. Great years.

What a year. Best year ever. Tell us, people, what a year Best year ever Tell us people what your best year was and why Get in touch with us Email us at unmadefm At gmail.com Or go onto the reddit for this episode Contact us on twitter, whatever

We love to hear about your Greatest year and why Even better, tell us your Annus Horribilis. What was your worst year ever? But don't make it, like, too depressing. But, like, you know. I can't believe yours is 2016.

That was the year of the two worst election results in history. Well, that's true as well. I forgot about that. That was a bad year for the world, in my opinion. Others may disagree. In fact, millions of others do disagree a bad year for the world, in my opinion. Others may disagree. In fact, millions of others do disagree. Not for the Tim world, though. For the Tim world, it was cool.

One of the cool things about the year of the girls learning to ride is that we bought a really cool pink BMX for one of my daughters, which I just loved riding. It was a real cool street BMX, and I hooned her all around the neighbourhood on that. You gave it your best Nicole Kidman. I did. I did. I loved it. Yeah. In fact, I wish I'd held on to it now we've moved to the city.

I'd still be hooning around the city looking like a middle-aged goose. Nice. Oh, no, no, BMX bandits, pun intended. Do you know who this episode's been sponsored by, Tim? I think I do. Go on. Hover. It's Hover, it's Hover, you're right, it's Hover.

Yes. The domain registrar kings. Very appropriate in this coronation month. They are the kings of registering domains. In fact, I think the people from Hover should be put on some sort of throne so we can put a big golden crown on them to thank you for how easy they make it to register and maintain domains.

It's Dabloon of the Week. What fan of pirate movies and the Goonies and the like doesn't love a good doubloon? And it's time for us to discuss another doubloon here on doubloon of the week. Yes. And today we're going to talk about, well, this is one of the big ones in doubloons. This is the brasher doubloon. It's a rare American coin worth eight escudos. Is it escudos?

It's a Spanish currency. I don't know what that means. I'm going to go yes, confidently. Yes. So this doubloon would have been worth $16 back in the day. It was privately minted back in 1787 by a very famous goldsmith of the time and silversmith named Ephraim Brasher. Ephraim Brasher was like a big deal in the metal world. He actually lived next door to George Washington for a while and used to make metal stuff for George Washington himself.

Oh, cool. And he was living in New York and he went to the governors of the time and said, I want to strike a new coin for you, a copper coin. He wanted to strike a copper coin for them. And they said, well, we're not too into the idea of that at the moment, so go about your business. We don't want it. And he was like, well, I'm doing it anyway. So even though it wasn't like official money, he struck some sample coins to show his ability and how good they were, including these gold doubloons.

And only a few of them survived to this date. There are six surviving examples of this coin. I'll send you a picture of it because it's pretty amazing. It's an impressive coin. So when you said the word doubloon, I imagine, you know, gold treasure kind of things. But you know how they open up a treasure chest and there's not just coins, there's like other stuff too? I didn't really know in my mind which of these stuff was a doubloon. And then I see, oh, it's a coin.

A doubloon is a coin and it means double. It's like a 20 cent to a 10 cent. And it was like a Spanish thing. It used to be just a coin. It was just a coin of value, a doubloon, like a quarter or a penny, a doubloon. But it's been popularized because it's a cool sounding word and it gets used in pirate films a lot. So, yeah, a doubloon is just a coin, usually a gold coin. Brasher made these doubloons using his skills and it's got this famous EB stamped on it. So, you see there's like an American eagle on the front? Yeah. And there's a little EB stamped on there for you see there's like an american eagle on the front yeah and there's a little eb stamped on there for pressure so anyway he made these coins because he's a big deal and these

coins are so old and they're so rare and they're made of gold they're worth a lot of money i feel like they should have chocolate in them yeah so basically and another reason this is particularly special it was the first gold coin made like the United States, even though it was kind of unofficial in some ways. Oh, okay. And one of them sold for $7.4 million back in 2011. But then in 2021, one of these sold for $9.36 million, which at the time was the most ever spent on a coin at a public auction. Wow.

And this particular doubloon is extra famous as well because it's been the subject of a lot of popular culture. It was the subject of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe 1942 mystery novel, The High Window, which was also made into a film. The Brasher Doubloon in 1947. It was also mentioned in Lawrence Block's 1980 Bernie Rodenbaugh Mystery, The Burglar Who Studied Spinoza and John Belair's 1992 The Mansion in the Mist. So, none of

that means a whole lot to me, but it's been in lots of books and movies as well. It's a big famous doubloon that's worth lots of money. It wasn't in Toby's Millions though. That was a great novel. Remember with lots of doubloons and things in it. No, I don't know that one. You don't know? Oh, that's a kid's book. I read it at primary school. There's a little boy, Toby, and he finds a massive treasure and he has to wonder what

to do with it. And he spends bits and pieces of it all the time. And his dad's a bit jealous, even though he buys his dad a helicopter. Right. It's a bit like Brewster's Millions, where you've got lots and you don't know what to do with it. And it feels like it's more trouble than it's worth. But Toby's Millions. Oh.

It's a great book. Debloons. But it was all treasure like that. It wasn't like he got a bundle of cash. It was all doubloons and then all that other sort of awkward stuff. Anyway, there you go. There was doubloon of the week. Every week on doubloon of the week, I learn something new.

So, thank you, man. This is great. Before we announce this week's prize winners, can I just again be so thankful to everyone who supports us on Patreon?

From Sweden? Got to be ABBA. I don't know.

It's not quite Dancing Queen, is it? You don't need a rock set? Can you do that little guitar bit at the start of the look? No. That's one of the best little guitar bits ever. What if I could work it out? Let's take 45 minutes for me to work it out. 45 minutes you wish.

Three hours later all right yeah i know rock set named their best their greatest hits their best of don't bore us get to the chorus which i think is just so pop and perfect for Roxette, isn't it? I'll let you put your weapon of choice away there. Just put my axe back. Put that Mustang back in the garage. For repairs. Yes.

Have you got an idea for a podcast, Tim? I know you don't because when we started this call, I said, have you got an idea? And you sort of just looked at me blankly and then picked up a notepad. In my notes, I have many, many, many ideas. And I'm just wondering, it's like a chest of doubloons. Which one do I want to pick up and spend? Here's one. Here's one.

Here's one. Here's a random one. It's like, well, it's been there for a little while. I go this. I suddenly realised I'm never going to. Good one. There we go. Play guitar properly.

That comes to mind. Have a good idea on the Unmade podcast. It suddenly hit me. I'm never going to probably be in a rock band. You know, I'm never going to get a band together and play gigs. That's never going to happen. I thought it would. It felt inevitable at some stage it would just sort of happen by itself but it's not it's

not going to happen it's not too late for that at least though like i mean you're never going to play like cricket for australia are you even if you even if you now got good you're too old but it's not too you're not too old to be in a rock band No, no, no It is just a matter of priority and choice But no, that's right I mean, this is the moment you realise I was watching the football the other day And you realise so many of the people playing football It's not even that they're my age

And gosh, I'm not doing it Like they're heaps, heaps younger People retiring are a decade younger than me now like it's yeah not gonna happen is it no yeah yeah i mean there are lots of there are lots of those i'm never going to you know but i was never going to anyway like you know like be a sports star i think once you have a baby a lot of that stuff like things shrink as well like there are lots of like travel things i'd still like to do and adventures I'd like to do that I'm beginning to think, oh, that's off the table now.

Like things that would take, you know, weeks to do, months to do, like epic journeys that I always thought would be a great trip to do one day that I probably just can't do now. Or you can do them down the track with the child. Yeah, but some of them by the time he's old enough, I'll be too old. You know, my body will be falling apart. He'll be pushing you in a wheelchair. There are some places I'm starting to take off the table travel-wise.

I can't believe there's anywhere left that you haven't been, to be frank. It's more adventurous things, you know, exotic things. So what's yours? Rock band is one. Any others that you like? I suddenly realise I'm not going to – well, hmm. I'm wondering if there are positive things. Like I suddenly realise I'm never going to –

Jail. Jail, yeah, well, that's right. Yeah, you're so – thank goodness. Yeah. Well, I tell you, I'm not going to die young, that's for sure. You can still sneak it in. I don't know. Do you ever worry about going to jail, like being falsely imprisoned?

Oh, it would be horrible. I've visited jail many times with people and it does look awful. So I've thought about it and so forth. It would be certainly terrible and it would be terrible for anyone, but certainly to be there falsely would feel like the most frustrating thing in the world, having to wait for justice and go through the process to be wrongfully imprisoned. It's sweet that you think that justice will be delivered necessarily.

Well, indeed, yeah, the hope for justice, that's right. And the despair if it was not enacted. Yeah. What about you? I sometimes imagine being, like, falsely accused of- because you know how when, like, someone dies, like, if my wife died, right? Heaven forbid. But if it happened, you know how the husband's always the first person who gets, like, accused or suspected and investigated, which is normal. You know, that's like- Just systematic way of going through.

You start with the person closest to you. But I always think about, oh, so- And I think about all the things- Would they think it was me? Will I have an alibi and stuff like that? So, I sometimes think about that, being falsely accused of, like, oh, well, what would my alibi be? I was just sitting at home watching TV.

That's not going to work. Do you start putting alibis together? Calling my friends. Look, Tim, nothing's happened. But if it does, please tell the police we were recording a podcast. That's a guilty conscience. You're just needing alibis just for an ordinary life i was here with you if anyone asks like you are here with me i know but just i was here with you 99 of the time i have no alibi i'm just sitting here in the house like i'm the most guilty looking

dude ever at least you'll be at church or meeting with some parishioner or something. Like, I've got nothing. And I'm wearing black. Look at me. I feel guilty. Is that a balaclava behind you over there? I literally have a baseball bat behind me. What a thought to go through like 99% of the time.

I don't have an alibi. I'm just here. And I could be up to no good. Yeah. Like the Hamburglar. I suddenly realised that I never- I do like that idea, but I don't feel like I'd be a good guest. A good guest would be someone who has built their life towards something

and then it's not happened. That would be someone who has built their life towards something and then it's not happened that would be interesting to reflect yes you know these people that you know they're up you know 4 a.m every morning training swimming you know what i mean investing huge amounts of time and then realize i'm never going to the olympic games and it was a realistic possibility but it's just not going to happen reflecting on that would be interesting sad but interesting i wonder if there's a good um number of things as well which it becomes impossible to do like for example the fields medal which is like the medal this mathematics medal which is given for you know like a sort of a nobel prize of mathematics you mention it in every second

podcast by the way yes but yes i'm familiar with the fields medal you can't win it after you're 40 years old. Oh, why not? It's supposed to be like an encouragement for younger mathematicians. Oh. See, I told you something new about the Fields Medal. You did, yes. Mr. You bring it up too much.

Yeah. I always assumed it was like a Nobel Prize. It's like something you get to cap off your great career. No, no, it's not. It's more of a mid-career prize. So that would be a good one because you could talk to people who, you know, well, 45-year-old mathematicians who are doing cool stuff say, well, you're not going to win a Fields Medal.

It's too late. Are there other things where there's like a, you know, or things you can't win because you're the wrong nationality or- Or gender. Well, do you think Charles thought I'm never going to be king and then he's managed to slip it in? It's managed to happen. Speaking of Charles and the coronation,

because we're recording this just days before the coronation of King Charles III, haven't things been great for him since he met with me? Like, I went there, gave him just a minute or two with me, a few words of encouragement there at Windsor Castle. You know, I mean, his mum died. I guess that's bad. But other than that.

I don't think he looks at that as a positive. Things certainly have been very rosy for him since then. Do you think you've been impacted by meeting Prince Charles? Like, do you think you came away- Like, has your tennis game improved or- you've had a child since you met Prince Charles, so- Well, no, the child was already on the way then. He was there.

He was there in Mummy's belly in the room. Oh, right. Yes. Okay. So, no, I don't feel I've been particularly impacted by it. I think it was more a thing for him than me. It was more of a- I think so.

Yeah. You could tell by the way he got all dressed up to meet you. He was all in fancy pants. Putting all these medals on and everything. It's like, gosh, man, take it easy. I'm just a YouTuber. That's right. He invited all these people around and made it a real formal occasion.

I know. I know. Yeah, gosh. Hired a band. Gosh. That, gosh. Hired a band. Gosh. Randomly started knighting people that were in line around you and stuff. A bunch of photographers. All these photographers were there and everything.

It was crazy. A bit over the top. That was ridiculous. I've touched the coronation chair. Do you remember that? I think you were with me that day. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you reached out and touched it.

I know. You're not supposed to do that. And it's- In Westminster Abbey. It has been touched before. But I feel like I've, you know, had an impression on it, I think. Do you think my sweat is still on it? Or do you think it's been dusted down since then?

I wonder if a little bit of your republicanism, like, energised it. So you reckon Charles might sit on it? This was in that 2006 trip, by the way. You reckon he would sit on it and then suddenly go, hmm, you know what? I'm starting to question this whole show. Perhaps. Let my people go. Isn't this ridiculous?

What are we doing here? Look, your idea, what was it? I suddenly realised I will never. I suddenly realised I'm never going to. I'm never going to. I like this idea, Tim. I like it. It's a fun question.

I haven't got a good answer for you. I wonder if it could be about a liberating thing, a thing that you feel you have to do. You finally go, I'm never going to do that. Like, I like to think I suddenly realised I'm never going to the gym ever again. I will exercise, but I'm never, ever, ever going to a gym. I'm done with them, ever. Yeah.

And paying for it. I have suddenly realized I'm never going to be into yoga. My wife's really into yoga. So, I agreed to do five. I did five lessons. I bought five lessons from a friend of mine who's a yoga teacher. She comes around to the house and I've been doing them in the front room. And I've done four of the five. But doing these lessons has made me realise I'm never going

to be into yoga. Because my wife's really good at it. And I look at it and think that would be good for me, all that stretching and stuff. Like, it's really good for you, but it just doesn't speak to my soul. No. And you're a soul man. You need something to speak to your soul. I'll tell you something I'm probably never going to do, but I haven't yet realised it. And that is get into making Lego, because I am becoming properly, properly addicted to buying Lego sets. Yes.

Like, and every time a new one gets released, I now go like on the waiting lists. And like, if it's cheap enough, I'll buy two so that I've got one to make and one to keep in the box. And I've got this storage unit where I'm storing them. Just this week, this new brilliant X-Wing fighter was released for Star Wars week. I bought that. Magnificent, magnificent set. And I have never made one of them.

They just all sit in boxes. Beautiful Lego sets. And in my head, one day I'm going, you know, I'm taking this week off to make the Millennium Falcon. Today I'm going to make the Grand Pyramid. Today I'm going to, you know, make the Titanic. I just, I long to make them, right? I love them. Why don't I just go and sit in a room and make this beautiful Lego set?

I've not yet realised I'm not going to make them, but one day I will. I love that you're actually building like a Lego tower, but out of Lego boxes, not out of actual Lego. You're actually building like a massive Lego tower. Out of things you're not making out of Lego. Making something out of actual. That's a cool art installation. Make something out of the Lego boxes themselves.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I need to help me with this, man. What's your advice to me on this? Well, I mean, it is a bit like starting a puzzle. It might be fun at the start and then it is a lot. It's quite an investment.

Do you have space to set it up and just leave it and walk away and come it is a lot it's quite an investment do you have space to set it up and just leave it and walk away and come back to it that's a good question yeah i don't know how well that would go down with the powers that be in the house right yeah you are i love i could do it on that little desk behind me there in the office but i need that for other stuff i was spying that yeah that's got like other crap on it fields metal and stuff i i was um you you hear there's something about the the unmade lego man that's what you are the unmade lego project i am i am that's me yeah unmade lego man i think you'll do them once i i wonder if if when when uh your son reaches a certain age and is, you know,

shown this amazing cave of Lego stuff that you'll just. That would be good if he got into Lego and I managed to keep it a secret from him. And then he got into some of the things I'm into, like Star Wars and stuff. And then, like, one day I'm like, come with me. I've got something to show you. Take him to the storage unit. Take off the padlock. Open the door.

This is the moment. It certainly would be a lot better if he got heaps into lego but you never told him about it and years from now when you die and he's going through your papers and then goes and realizes he's got an entire locker full of cool lego stuff that you forgot to mention so it's like what why these are cool why didn't i know i do like that story except for the part where I'm dead. But, yeah. Yeah, it will be funny. Ha, ha, ha.

We'll do a special episode just to mark that. Oh, dear. My preaching's hit a bit of a sweet spot, you know, like I think. Yeah, it's been good. You're in the zone. Getting better and better. It's keeping more and more people awake. So, sweet spot, you know, like I think. Yeah, it's been good. You're in the zone. Getting better and better. It's keeping more and more people awake. So I reckon, you know, 2023.

We're doing a series at the moment on songs and the key of life. So every week, every sermon each week is about a song and using that as like a way into talking about like the Christian gospel and Jesus. Like a mainstream secular song or a religious song? Yeah, yeah, yeah, mainstream secular song. What was this? What was last Sunday's song? Turn, Turn, Turn by the Birds was last Sunday.

But we've got Into Sandman coming up by Metallica and all sorts of really cool songs, yeah, yeah. Do you play some of the song? We do. The band plays them, performs them afterwards or beforehand, and then I talk about them. It's really cool. It's heaps of fun.

Nice. I just want to do this series forever now. Like I talk about them. It's really cool. It's heaps of fun. Nice. Yeah. I just want to do this series forever now. Like, I just want to keep talking about cool songs. Then we can move through years. This could be 1991. Are you going to do Money for Nothing? No, we're not doing Money for Nothing.

But that's a good one, though. Yeah. Talking about the vices and stuff of life. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I could play it. Well, I can't play it, but I could play it. I could not play it. I could play my version of it, yeah, yeah, I could play it. Well, I can't play it, but I could play it. I could not play it.

I could play my version of it, that's for sure. Well, any time you give me an excuse to play this piece of music, man, I'm great. Did you have some secret words today? I did. They're written right here. So let's keep talking for a few minutes longer. What's written on that piece of paper in front of you there, man?

Good thing about this piece of paper, man, is that you... Are you any good at... I'll tell you, here's one thing. I suddenly realised that I'm never going to be good at origami. Are you into origami? Are you able? I'm not into it or good at i tell you here's one thing i realized i suddenly realized i'm never going to be good at origami are you are you into origami are you able i'm not into it or good at it i've done a few videos about it in my math in on number file so i know you know i know it's a quite mathematical thing origami yeah origami origami origami there we go nice put that piece of paper away, satisfied. Is that all? Not two words? No, there was only one. I only got one.

Did they agree on one word or has one of them lost interest in the podcast? The other one, I just didn't see the other one and they didn't know that I was doing the podcast. So they'll be ruining this. Although I have to say that the experience of the podcast often doesn't get this far in. Oh, right. She's listened to them all many, many, many, many times going to sleep,

which means that doubloon of the week is just about as far as she gets into the podcast. Nice. So my ideas, which are often second for, I don't know, some reason, probably because they're lesser, often don't get a look in. But, yeah, neither do the words. So I'm safe.
