Usually on a film set, they seem to say, like, rolling, and then there's a pause, and then they say, action. I'd like us to do that. All right. Rolling. Right. And action. Tim, I believe because of the Adelaide lockdown at the moment,

due to COVID, you are recording in, are you what? Are you recording in, are you recording in one of your daughter's bedrooms or? No, I wasn't able to get permission to record in one of the girl's bedrooms. Right. Apparently you need to apply to a particular government department and there's a lot of paperwork involved. Anyway, I was met with a lot of resistance to that idea, which because it would have meant they would be inconvenienced for about an hour. So I'm in my own bedroom, actually. Oh, okay, right.

Nice work. Although I am more over my wife's side of the room, you know, how you have sort of there's an uneasy, you know, sort of truce about it's a shared area, but there's, you know, there are different territories, and am over in more in her territory in your bedroom who has the side that is closest to the door because apparently that's like that's the dominant member of the relationship oh that's my wife yes it's her job to stop any intruders it's always been her in different rooms we've swapped sides and we didn't even

realise we've done it. But as we've moved, which is I think maybe four times since we've been married, maybe four or five, she's always been the one closest to the door, which I think is about responding to the kids in the middle of the night. And I've always been very comfortable with that arrangement. But it also means I'm often closest to the window, and I like that because I need some fresh air. It's working well. After 20 years, it's working well. That's all I've got to report.

Win-win. Well done. Now, just to pre-empt, because we're not doing this at the start of the show, but we want you to hang around, we have some really, really big sofa shop news later in the show. We have a new creation. Massive. New creation, a new object.

And I'm doing it at the end of the show, but when I told Tim I was doing it at the end of the show, he said, oh, it should be at the start of the show. Yes. So I'm mentioning it at the start, but it's coming up later. This is massive. This is one of the, I know every time we do something sofa shop related, it's unprecedented, right? Certainly for something sofa shop related it's it's um unprecedented right certainly for the sofa shop it's unprecedented but unprecedented for us for

humanity as a whole but yeah i'm i think i'm more excited about this one than than any of the others tune. Now, as we're recording, the 2020 Olympic Games are happening in Tokyo and the year is 2021. And if you're listening to this sometime in the future, that's going to take some figuring out. But anyway, that's what we've got. Just in case historians forget to record that there was a pandemic at this particular time that delayed major events. Well, maybe there'll be some, like, you know, catastrophe that wipes all records from history except episodes of the Unmade podcast, and history will be pieced together using our podcast, in which case the sofa shop will have a greater than it should have

importance in world history. Tommyball will have a greater greater than it should have importance in world history tommy ball will take a lot of explaining as well but yeah so anyway the olympics are happening so i've got a mini podcast idea because i how's this for a podcast tim each week you pitch a sport to the ioc that you think should be included in the olymp No, what, real sports or made up sports? Well, let me explain, right? Because I don't want to go too hard on this because I know it offends some people and it's also talked about all the time. But I'm not entirely comfortable with all these new sports they keep putting in the Olympics. No.

Like, for example, I read this morning, because I'm in Britain, there's a big emphasis whenever Britain wins a medal. And they said, oh, another gold medal for Britain. And I was like, oh, wow, what have they won? And I clicked on. And it was for mountain biking. Right. So, you can ride the bikes in the velodrome on the track there. They have all the road races on normal bikes.

I know they've introduced BMX bikes as well. Now you can do mountain bike. Where does this stop? Are we going to have unicycles and tr this stop? Are we going to have unicycles and tricycles? Are we going to have penny farthing races? Like, it just seems to be ever burgeoning. And I think it's for commercial reasons. We've also, this year, we've got surfing, we've got skateboarding. I've got nothing against these pastimes, but I don't know. It just feels wrong that all these sports keep getting thrown into the Olympics.

A, it kind of just feels a bit cheap and commercial, and it kind of also cheapens gold medals. Like, there are so many gold medals handed out, like, for so many categories in so many sports, and it's just becoming a bit of a joke. They've become like Grammys. Well, let's not get carried away but and i don't want to start a big debate because people who love surfing for example will be upset and probably think it should be in the olympics and you know whatever who am i to decide i don't like it i'm just one person where do you stand on this

by the way tim are you happy with all these new sports? No. Look, I'm a little the same. I was watching the opening ceremony when they were doing, you know, those blue – anyway, there was a creative bit where they dressed in blue and acted out some symbols. And when it got to the BMX racing and the skateboarding, let me just add, two pastimes I spent an enormous amount of my childhood doing. So it's not like I don't understand them or enjoy them or had enjoyed them as a kid, but they don't seem to fit in the category of the Olympics, do they?

They do. And here's another thing. It would seem to diminish them. Like I know people who surf and love surfing and it's a wonderful pastime, but it doesn't seem to be competitive like and i know there are surfing competitions of course yeah that would seem to be against the spirit isn't surfing something you're supposed to do to get away from you know the rat race and the competitive life it's something to get out there and be part of nature you're so right tim but also like it

also gets olympicized and a really good example of that was the skateboarding. I watched a bit of the skateboarding yesterday because I wanted to see what it was like. And it was still being done on, like, handrails and ramps and all these places where you would expect skateboarding to be done. But it's all, like, sterile and colourful and non-graffiti-ed and non-rusted. And it looks all kind of like a Disney World skate park. And skateboarding has this kind of like, I don't know, it has a kind of urbanness to it that makes it a bit cool. And when they're doing it and like they're skating

in like the Olympic uniforms of their country but made to look all urban with like caps and oversized shirts but it still looks like it's been designed to match all the other uniforms of their country, but made to look all urban with like caps and oversized shirts. But it still looks like it's been designed to match all the other uniforms of the country. And it just looks wrong. It just looks, it looks really, it looks like a, it looks like a Hollywood depiction of the future where they're wearing all these clean, nice uniforms in this nice urban environment, but it's trying to look all cool. It's just wrong. It's like skateboarding in, but it's trying to look all cool.

It's just wrong. It's like skateboarding in Singapore where there's no trash and no graffiti. Everything's just absolutely pristine. Before I make people any angrier, let's put that aside. Instead of condemning all these new sports, my podcast idea is to run with it. And each week you make the case for a sport or a pastime that's not in the Olympics and say why it should be in the Olympics. And it could be a legitimate sport like, you know, cricket or Aussie rules football or, you know, something like that. But I'd also like to see the case being made for a few alternative things like, you know, maybe cheese rolling.

One of my favourite British pastimes. Right. Or like chess. Chess would be a good one. Yes. Also, how about this one? Dog obedience. And before you laugh me off the show, they give out gold medals for like all these horse things like dressage and all that sort of stuff.

Yes, yes. And you're telling me that's not more horse obedience than humans? Like those horses cost a fortune. They've been trained for years they can do it with their eyes closed the people are just passengers do they have horse there's no horse racing is there but there's not horse racing but they all they have like show jumping and trialing and all that sort of stuff yeah yeah so that is horse racing so how come the horses it's like you've you've don't drop something while you jump over a, what are they called, a hurdle?

They've got a particular name. I've forgotten it. Why is that not in the Olympics? But then a horse running as fast as it possibly can isn't in the Olympics. Why don't we have a Formula One Olympic race? They should have a Formula One. Like, you know, you have your normal Grand Prix season and then every four years there's a one off Formula 1 race

Where they have a gold medal I like the really old Formula 1s Where they had to like run up to their car And then get in and then drive away I think that's the coolest Because you could combine two You've got to run 100 metres And then get in the car and then drive

You know what would be a great episode of my podcast? The one where Tommyball Tim comes on And makes the case for tommy ball being in the olympics oh yes yes i can hear tim getting very very excited about he may he would be tempted into a comeback i think he'd be opposed to it i think he'd think tommy ball was too big he would make the case for olympics being admitted into tommy ball bottle. It's a subsection. That's right. Like the NBA players that go and get surgery in their leg ready for the new NBA season, rather than going and playing at the Olympics.

Like it's just, they're not risk their contract. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. On the walk, we've just come back from a walk. And on the walk, the idea came up that rummiking should be included in the Olympics. Oh, yeah. I don't know if people are familiar with rummiking or rummikub, as it's sometimes called.

But it's a little board game with numbers and pieces and so forth that my parents were absolutely addicted to. And that we've been playing as a family. It was like crack cocaine for your dad. They loved it. Yeah, and we've been playing it as a family recently, and it is, it's a great game. I was remembering how much I enjoy it too. Is it in your DNA, Tim?

Do you think maybe you're like, your dad's been reawakened in you and it's like the baton's been handed down and you're going to turn into this old man who plays Remy King every night. Do you know, I was playing last night and I was thinking, this is a marvellous way to spend an evening. You know what I mean? Like just I had a coffee from my coffee machine and I had just a few nibblies and things and sitting there chatting.

And the great thing is you can play music at the same time and I was playing a little crowded house album together alone, and I was singing along with that quietly. I was thinking, this is it. This is contentment itself. This is beautiful. I don't think I'm going to do anything else. I might retire.

Hang on, hang on. It's not called retiring to play Rummy King. It's called turning professional. That's what I'm going to do. What shoes were you wearing? Please tell me you're wearing slippers. I had socks on and these UFOS comfy things we wear around the house. So, yes, pretty much halfway to slippers, I think, is fair to say.

If Rami King was admitted into the Olympics, would you double down and go all in and, you know, go for it, try to make it? I have to say, in the first few minutes of my first match last night, I had the thought just quietly to myself, jeez, I'm good at this. Like, I am going to wipe the table tonight. I was just... It was like, this is going to be over in no time yeah and uh yeah things slowed down a

little bit you know i got a bit stuck but still i could just i could feel it i could feel it going like this is it was the feeling of competence like i can do this and and geez i can do it well you don't often have that feeling do you no i can't remember the last time I had that feeling. I definitely haven't got it now. What makes a good Remy King player? Oh, they need to be able to count. Yeah. Check.

You need to be able to see the colours. So there's four different colours. You need to identify those colours. Okay. You need to be able to see the colors so there's four different colors you need to be identify those colors okay you need to be able to see possibilities so you go if i put this one here and that one there is there a seven that's free somewhere i can do i can put that so you need to be out a little bit like chess yeah go down rabbit warrens of possibilities of moods okay yeah like go steps ahead like a supercomputer yep very much like a supercomputer is there any element of reading the other players like you know tells and stuff like that not really um no i mean you can you know if they're looking annoyed it's you know they can't find something if they're looking happy

they they have um they're cheering they've won i mean it's it's reasonably predictable you know if you have like incredible like uh memory capacity like if you've got rain man type skills can you count the pieces and like you know know who has what you know by process of elimination would someone with that ability have an advantage yeah yes you could you could The one thing with rummaging, though, is it's not always how many tiles are left on your holder thing. This is a bit like Scrabble, for those who don't know. You know, you've got to get rid of the tiles, you know, off your little... Your rack. Got to get rid of your tiles.

Rack. That's the word I'm looking for. Yeah. As you can see, I'm ready to turn professional. I'm across all the lingo. But even if you've still got a lot there, you may be about to put them all down. So it doesn't, I was reassuring one of my co-players last night to, you know, don't worry if you've still got a lot there because suddenly I've seen people put everything down. Yeah.

And it all comes together. We weren't playing for money, I hasten to add, but this was purely for recreation. Right. Just enclose the tax man or any of the authorities. No, don't want a police raid smashing down your door. Bit of lockdown, Rummy King. That's right. That's right.

Maybe that's what my daughter was fearful of, not allowing it in her room, knowing that I was likely to spill the beans on some covert Rummy King activity. Yeah. Don't worry, I'll cut out all that rummaging stuff oh good okay i'll get a text from tim in a few hours hey man can you just cut all that rummaging stuff up you know just can't just feel like i crossed the line there revealed just a little bit too much all right enough of enough of this shenanigans i've upset enough people with my talk about

sports i want eliminated from the Olympics. Let's have a podcast idea from you, Tim. Oh, well. My idea is quite different. I did think of riffing a little bit on the Olympics because it's something that everyone has a bit of an opinion about. But it's actually something quite different that came to mind. But it's actually something quite different that came to mind. I hesitate to give this idea because I'm not even sure it's a podcast that people will want to listen to, but it's definitely a podcast people will want to go on and share their story on.

So I assume that means there's an audience somewhere, but it may not be. Look, it's called Bargain. And this is a podcast where you talk about the best bargains you've ever encountered. So, yeah. I love it. I love it. Don't you think people love sharing about their bargains? I've got these friends who just always seem to get bargains. I never get bargains.

And every time I go to their house, I'm like, oh, that's amazing. Where'd you get that? And they're like, oh, I got that for a tenner on eBay. They're like Jedis of bargains. I'm really jealous of them. They could come on the show every week to talk about their bargains. They're amazing. Are you a good bargain hunter?

Instinctively, but I've learnt to Ignore that instinct Because I know it leads me down Rabbit holes of diminished returns And I just now go and Find the thing I want for a reasonable price Buy it, walk away Rather than buying something a little bit compromised

But if I come across a genuine bargain Particularly a double bargain Like you know when something's It it's like, it's 25% of everything and it was half price that day. Like, you know what I mean? Like a double bargain. It's like the whole store's got a discount. Yeah.

And then that one was in the bin, you know, that was like 10, you know, that's like a double bargain. That's like a, whoa, that's like two yolks in your egg. And then you shoplifted it. and i stole it so i was like oh that's a really good idea i mean i'm struggling to think of one because i'm as i said i'm rubbish at getting bargains i'm that guy who buys everything like at the top of the market like i'll buy a house i bought a house years and years ago right at the top of the real estate market and then everything crashed and you know it just went down in value or like i'll like

i'll buy like some apple device and then the next day all the prices drop because some new things coming out or you know i'm just like i'm the worst person i'm the person you should ask for advice and whatever i say don't do you're like a bargain cooler you know in casinos there are those coolers you know yeah people that walk up to tables and everyone starts losing and they used to pay them superstitiously to walk around the casino yeah yeah you're like a bargain i'm i'm shopping kryptonite i remember one bargain you'll remember this maybe years ago because I think your dad included it in the paper as a little funny snippet. I was at a garage sale and I liked the look of a money box, which was sort of shaped like an English telephone booth, you know, and telephone box. And I bought it for $2 and i took it home and and i found

two dollars inside now that is a bargain nice just paid for itself yeah yes yes that's a good but nice there are big bargains in history though as, as well, aren't there? Like, I know, didn't the United States pay some ridiculously small amount of money for Alaska? Yeah, they bought it off Russia. Yeah, yeah. And per square metre or square acre or something like that, it's, you know, like the best land deal of all time or something like that. It's a massive bargain. i love that and i love i i love stories of people buying you know crappy old paintings from people's loft at a garage sale for a fiver and it ends up being like a da vinci or something like that yeah yeah yeah you and i share a love for um a show on british television which

is also shown here called antiques road show is a fantastic show where people bring antiques and specialists look at them and give them, you know, and the climax, of course, is what's it worth? What's it worth? And it's really enjoyable to watch because it's a calm, lovely English countrysidey show as well. But one thing that ruins it, and it ruined it for me years ago, is when I went on YouTube and Googled Antiques Roadshow, you know, highest value ever.

And you just get this, you know, bunch of videos there where it's suddenly like someone walks in with some old desk and suddenly it's worth, you know, 100 million pounds. And it's just like, oh, and then suddenly it ruins all the other episodes, which feels so underwhelming, like on normal television. No, but those ones are what keep people bringing their crap in to get valued because everyone thinks their crappy thing is worth more than it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good idea. Good idea. I'd love to hear from some of the listeners as well what their best bargains are.

Go on Reddit or Twitter or email us. Love hearing bargain stories. If you send us some good ones, we might read them out next episode. Speaking of which, it's time for... Spoon of the Week! And Tim, before we go to the priceless collection of spoons from the Hein Family Archive, which is, you know, what we're all about. We have started receiving spoons from listeners and we like having a look at them as well. You can go and have a look at links in the show notes or on the screen if you'd like to see the pictures.

And today I have a box here. Let me grab it. Opening it here. It's come to our mailbox from Alex, and he's written just a very simple note. He just says, few spoons from Ukraine, Alex. And inside I have not one, not two, not three, not four, but five spoons from the Ukraine.

These are nice. These are good. I would say there are two excellent ones. One good one and two, eh, take it or leave it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you there. I have a big weakness for spoons which have enamel art in the scoopy bit in the bowl. Oh, yes.

Two of these do. enamel art in the scoopy bit in the bowl. Oh, yes. Two of these do. And one of them seems to have this artwork of a, like a big public square and a big tall monument, something very ceremonial and beautiful. I don't know where it is because Alex included no explanation and there's no English writing on any of these spoons,

but it's really lovely. And the other one has, it just looks like a really kind of modern, kind of brutal, crappy building. That reminds me a bit of that bus station one from Brisbane that you featured. I can't quite tell what it is. Yes, I think that maybe that design has gone around the world and inspired a lot of European buildings. Yeah, that's interesting. That one's got a bit, is that it got a bit chunk broken out of it or is it just the way in my photo? No, it's not. It's just part of the picture.

I think that's a roadway or something that has a dark area. Oh, okay. I also quite like the spoon there that's in the box with the red backer. It's different to other spoons, isn't it? It's different. That's my favourite in this collection, yeah. It's like an art deco sort of symbol

at the top. Yeah. Really nice. It's quite modern. It's my favourite in this collection, yeah. It's like an Art Deco sort of symbol at the top. Yeah. Really nice. It's quite brutal. I like that one. And the other two, meh, they're okay. I mean, they're nice. They're nice, but when compared to the other three.

Anyway, if you'd like to see Alex's spoons from the Ukraine, there will be pictures in the notes. But, Tim, what have you got? What spoon have you pulled from the Hein family collection today? Well, if I was ever to go on Antiques Roadshow, of course, my spoon collection, which would be what I took. And this would be one that I pulled out reasonably early. This is a beautiful spoon. And look, we've come home today because this is just of Adelaide. In fact, it's of Colonel Light.

Colonel Light was the colonel. He was not an unmade colonel. Neither was he in the same line of work as Colonel Sanders. But Colonel Light surveyed, essentially, Adelaide and wrote the design for it. And Light's vision is written there, which is his vision for the city, and he planned it out. So it's very neat and square, Adelaide, with wide streets and big gardens and all that kind of stuff.

And this is, I think, quite an old spoon. When I say old, I think it's probably from the 60s or 70s, probably the 70s it's got that sort of look to it, which would be one of the earliest times that that mum and dad came over here. Probably mum, I would say, on an early trip over here to Adelaide where they used to come on holiday from Victoria. But I think this has a lovely sort of 70s-y kind of Adelaide feel to it. What do you think about this spoon, firstly, before I tell you why I chose it? Well, let me explain a bit more for people because this is an area of some expertise for me. Toilet break, guys. Let's go.

Colonel William Lye was the surveyor of Adelaide, and he did this famous grid layout surrounded by parklands that Adelaide is famous for. And there is a hill overlooking Adelaide called Montefiore Hill. And on there, they have built this statue of Colonel Light and he's standing very upright and he has one arm extended and he's pointing down towards the city that he designed and that's what the statue is and that's the statue that's depicted on this spoon. The spoon has a picture of the statue

and this is a real landmark of adelaide it's one of the three or four most iconic pictures you would see of adelaide colonel light pointing out over his city the statue and the the area on the hill is called light's vision and it's also it's also got the double meaning of this was colonel light's vision for the city and i used to be the adelaide city council reporter in my newspaper days so I covered the sort of the city centre. So I would always be going up to this statue for photo shoots. And it's just such a big part of Adelaide city centre culture that this statue was a big part of my life.

Like I've spent many, many hours up there. So I have a real fondness for this spoon because it depicts a statue that is a very big part of my professional life. I have all sorts of stories associated with that statue I could tell for hours. So obviously I'm going to be a very big fan of this spoon. It is a good statue. Yeah, yeah. And it sort of points generally enough that you can sort of say that it's pointing to anything in particular that you would like it to.

It's like, oh, he's pointing over towards that particular KFC or he's pointing to Adelaide Oval or whatnot. He's also buried in the city as well on Light Square. He is? He is. He is. It's not just a monument. He's actually buried there.

In fact, he's the only person buried within the CBD of Adelaide. Inside that square mile. Apparently that is the story that is told. That's right. And he's underneath a big monumental Theodolite as well in keeping with his surveyor career. I chose this spoon because I was feeling a bit sentimental about Adelaide. I went for a run yesterday.

We've got lockdown here because of COVID, so the streets are empty, but we're allowed to go for a run to exercise for 90 minutes a day. So I went for a run and it was exhilarating. I went for a run through the city and just went around and along the river and up around a bunch of different places around the northern part of the CBD of the central business district of Adelaide. And I was just loving the city. And the fact that it was deserted in the middle of the day and it was like the sun was out but it was a it was also raining it was misty as well with the rain and stuff and I felt it absolutely exhilarating just running along and enjoying the city and oh this is great and I was thinking I love this city like when I've got it all to myself

totally selfishly like yeah yeah, this is it. Turn up the street. No one here. And there we go. So one of my Colonel Light stories is when I used to work at the newspaper, we had like a daily cartoonist, you know, the guy that would do the cartoon of the day. And he was a real legend. He doesn't do it anymore, but his name was Michael Atchison.

And he was a real legend. The daily Atchison cartoon in the Adelaide Advertiser. Oh, yeah yeah and he used to come and sit in the daily news meetings where we would talk about all the stories and just like make notes to himself and that and then at the end of the day he would supply this cartoon he didn't really like having things suggested to him he would just decide what he wanted to do but one day one of the stories I was doing I had this idea for an Atchison cartoon to go with the story and I went up to him and I said doing, I had this idea for an Atchison cartoon to go with the story. And I went up to him and I said, Michael, I've got this idea. And I told him about it. And it involved Colonel Light, like a picture of the Colonel Light statue. He always did pictures of the Colonel Light statue. And I gave him this idea and I said, you know, do what you want with it.

Anyway, he took up the idea and he did it and he used it the next day. And then he gave me his like original of it as well, an Atchison original that I had up on my desk at work from the time that I suggested the cartoon. Ah, that's nice. It's one of my pride and joy possessions. Oh, that's fantastic. That's great. No idea where it is now.

Anyway, great spoon, great spoon. Now, another great spoon that one can obtain by being one of our Patreon supporters is the Unmade Podcast official souvenir spoon.

a there's another prize we give away we have the unmade podcast collector cards that are based on spoons that have been featured on the show and you can collect the whole set we give away a handful every episode by the way a special hello to our friends at the australian customs and border patrol forces because whenever i send some of these cards to australia they always seem to get opened up by the customs people because whenever the recipient gets them in Australia There's always a little slip inside that says This was opened by the customs people So the people at customs must be coming very familiar

With all these spoons That's right Make sure you count the cards when they arrive, people Just count the cards in case we need to talk to the customs There could be one listener there Waiting at the border and just going oh hello i'm desperate to find them just intercepting them i need a wall holler where is it oh they must what must those customs people think when they open it and they see these

collector cards with pictures of spoo i guess they see all sorts of weird stuff that's probably nothing to them no we are sending an envelope with a selection of cards to the following people steven m from idaho anthony r from california preben from norway magnus s also from norway nathan o from wisconsin andrew a from california meg g from alabama crystal from new jersey scott f from wisconsin and j VB from Washington, D.C. There's always a D.C. person in there. Well, lots of Americans there. There's eight Americans and then a couple of Norwegians back to back.

And a B. Obama from Washington, D.C. Go to patreon.com slash unmadefm, by the way, if you'd like to become a stakeholder and be in the running for all sorts of prizes and presents and stuff that we send out. I have my cards up on the spoon rack with the official spoon collection in our hallway. And I'm forever, when I walk past, stopping and taking a random card down and just reading it again, enjoying it and putting it back. It's become like I've got them all lined up with them. It's just marvellous, yeah. We're getting close to the point where we might need to consider

an expansion of the collection because we've had so many new spoons featured now. We'll have to get them all photographed and, like, expand the pack. Oh, no, they're all gone. I don't know where they are. They're all gone. Most of them are here. I've got to send them to you, all the ones that have been sent in.

It's called recency bias, I think. Anyway, my idea for a podcast is called Things That Make You Go Woo. Right. And this is a podcast all about those little things in life, those little pleasures and joys that are so exciting to you that you're very likely to out loud go, woo, woo, woo, things that make you go, woo. And I'll tell you why I had it. One of the things that I get unduly excited about, even to this day, is when I'm driving

and I go across a really big bridge, like a suspension bridge that goes over the ocean or something, like those mile-long bridges. There's a couple of them near my house, and yesterday I was driving from England to Wales. There's these two huge bridges that go across the Bristol Channel to Wales. They're massive. They're like Golden Gate Bridge-type bridges.

They are. Whenever you're driving over one, I just feel this desire to go, woo, I love being on a big bridge. This is cool. Another thing that gives me that feeling is when my wife, who's a very healthy eater and a very health conscious person, which by default means I have to be quite a healthy eater when she's around, when she says, why don't we have takeaway tonight?

Oh. I go, woo! I wasn't aware that had ever happened. I just thought all your takeaway experiences were covert. Woo! And the third thing that I don't get to do enough, but just the thought of doing it makes me go, woo, is going down a water slide.

Woo! Who doesn't love going? We watch this TV show at the moment all the time called Below Deck, which is about this super yacht, life on a super yacht. Yeah. And all the time they set up for the clients this big inflatable water slide that goes off the side of the yacht, and then all the clients go sliding down it into sea every time i watch someone slide down i internally i just go whoo i want to go

down that water slide that's cool the water slide is a creation that's purely for fun isn't it like it's an inherently good idea who has which has no practical purpose except to make you go whoo that's yeah. Yeah. We had one at home, actually. We had a pool at home. I went and bought this inflatable water slide, which took ages to pump up, and then you had to put, like, water in the base so it didn't tip over and everything,

and the kids would slide down into the pool, and you'd run up and dive onto it and slide down. Oh, it was so much fun. You know, I've just got one thing to say to that man. Woo! Your woos are really excitable and addictive as well, though. And, like, I remember... I think you do a better woo than me.

I'm a bit jealous of your woo. Really? Oh, well. Woo envy. I wasn't aware that was a thing but i remember you did what you did we were driving home we're in the car together and we were driving home and just about almost to the space where we were pulling up in front of your house and we went through a puddle in the car and you yeah you went, woo, woo. Yes, driving through puddles in cars.

Yes. Driving through puddles in cars is the best. Woo. That must be 25 years ago and that stayed with me. So every time I drive through a puddle with the kids, I go, woo, woo. Here we go. And now they pick it up too, even if we're going through as slow as ever because we're parking the car.

There's a few woos around the place. Oh, I love it. I love it. Is there anything else that makes you go woo? Look, every now and then when you're in the car, in the car wash, that can be pretty cool. Oh, yeah. It's more of a – it's just like gets so exciting and terrifying as you remember it's going all over you. can be pretty cool. Oh, yeah. It's more of a... It's just like...

It gets so exciting and terrifying as you remember it's going all over you. That's pretty cool. Car wash is one of those places where, like, you turn into a kid again and you remember what it was like being a kid in the back seat and being that mixture of, yeah, scared and amazed. Yeah. Oh, they're awesome. That big thing comes down and you think it's going to consume the whole car.

Yeah. Is it going to break through? Like, how's it? Yeah. Things that make you go, woo. That's great. I also can't say that title without hearing the song, Things That Make You Go, Hmm, in my head.

Yeah, yeah. That's a good one. Sing and See Music Factory. Is that right? I think that's right. Love it. Woo. All right. Good idea. A good idea good. That's good. Sing and see music factory. Is that right? I think that's right. Love it. Woo. All right.

Good idea. A good idea makes you go, woo. Yep. I tell you what. I tell you what. A good idea that comes to you before you start recording the episode. That's a woo. It's like, all right, here we go.

I've got something good. I feel it. I feel it most weeks when I kind of crack the sermon and the line I'm going to take with my sermon for church. Like, I feel it's great. You're planning something, got an idea, and then it all comes together. And you go, oh, that and that. Yeah, no, that's how it is. And I'm suddenly like, whoo, here we go.

This is great. Let's get it. The Sofa Shop is your only stop for the sofa you need. Sofa Shop, yeah, come and drop in on Halifax Street. We have a sofa designed for you. Choose your fabric, match your curtains too. The Sofa Shop ain't gonna cost what you think it will. Don't you do a thing until you see the sofa shop

sofa shop before we come to the really big sofa shop news that i'm promising we're gonna have some medium sofa shop news moderate people will be familiar by now with all these covers of the sofa shop advertising jingle that people have been sending in. And then we started getting ones done on these carillon bell towers all across America at all these American universities. We kept getting the sofa shop played on the bells of the carillon. Was it Florida State University, Yale? And then there was University of Texas as well. Anyway, I wanted to get in on the action and be part of this.

So I got in touch with the British Carillon Society, which their boss, a guy called Scott Orr, the secretary of the society, and I said, I want the sofa shop played on a carillon in Britain. And he said, well, you've come to the right place. played on a carillon in Britain and he said, well, you've come to the right place. And we met in a town in England, in Leicestershire, that's called Loughborough. And Loughborough has one of the most beautiful carillons in all of the UK. It's in the centre of the town in a place called Queen's Park. There's a 152 foot high tower. That 46 meters and at the top are 47 bells that can be

played on the on the keys the batons that that control a carillon and we went up there i went up there with scott and a woman called carolyn sharp who is the the chief carolina of loughborough her name's called carolyn is that right? Carolyn, yep, Carolyn Sharp, yes. Right. So anyway, and she was lovely, and yes, she has heard the jokes. I imagine, and I'm sure she has, I was just clarifying. Anyway, here's a little recording of myself and Scott sitting at the controls of the Carolyn,

that's the Carolyn, not Carolyn. Yes. At the controls of the Carolyn Bells, and here's what unfolded we're about to for the first time have the sofa shop played in the uk that's right isn't it scott tell us tell us about your interpretation and what you're going to do the song inspired me of course i mean it's catchy um yeah just watched original version, thought it would make a good thing to play on a carillon. Hopefully it'll do it justice. You've heard some of the other carillon versions.

As the secretary of the British Society, so, you know, pretty big voice in the carillon world, what did you think of their versions? Oh, I don't want to say anything. But, you know, I think the song is fast, it's exciting, and it should be played that way. So that's what I'm gonna try and try and hope to do So you've indicated to me you're gonna try and put a bit more a bit more pace a bit zing more zing or zing It's always got to have more zing, right? All right, and what does that involve just doing the exact same thing but faster or have you made changes basically that? All right

All right. Here we go. Then we got got all the recorders are you ready to rock and roll james this is a big moment all right here we go scott or playing the sofa shop on the loughborough carillon in queens park Thank you. We should do it again. You want to do it again? I want to do it again. Can I sing along this time? I mean, can I stop you? I'm worried I won't remember the words.

All right. We'll find out, won't we? Ready? Yep. The sofa shop is your only stop for the sofa you need. The sofa shop, yeah, come and drop in on Halifax Street. That's very important. Sofa designed for you.

Choose your fabric, match your curtains too. The sofa shop ain't gonna cost what you think it will Don't you do a thing until you see the sofa shop Wow. We totally destroyed that song. Yep. Sounds great. Very good.

Well, hopefully the recording upstairs sounds better. Thank you very much. Any thoughts on how it went playing it? You want to reflect before people make their own comments? You know, there's always room to improve. Yeah. All right. We'll come back.

I think it was all right. All right. Thank you very much. And thank you for letting us bring the Sofa Shop to British soil. Yeah. Thanks for coming. All right, we'll come back. I think it was all right. All right. Thank you very much. And thank you for letting us bring the sofa shop to British soil. Yeah, thanks for coming. All right. Great to have the inside explanation and to be sitting right there, man. That's pretty cool.

So just for so people know, in addition to that short recording for the sofa shop, I actually did like a more elaborate video all about the Caroline and the tower and the history and how it all works. And that's gone onto my objectivity YouTube channel. So if you, I will put a link for that in the notes as well. So if you'd like to see a lot more information about how it all works and all behind the scenes and stuff,

there's like a 10 minute video that is well worth a look. If you are interested in learning more about carolins totally tim you even you watch that video because i made you watch it i like your objectivity videos that's that's for sure they're all interesting they're good yeah i've been there for the recording of some of them so i feel a personal connection to them but yeah no this is any more questions about the loughborough caroline or you're or you're happy are there any carolins like i noticed you were in this one right up the top you walk up the top and then you play and the bells are all up the top right yeah whereas in my mind first of all with a carolyn is you walk in at the bottom i don't know why i thought this and you played at

the bottom and the like you would that's where you'd stand if you were pulling a long rope. Well, even churches with bells at the top of church towers, the ropes are often, you know, up nearer to the bells. Yeah. Because the way a carillon works is you push the baton or the key and it's literally connected to a wire that pulls the, you know, the dinger, the striker of the bell to make the bell go. So if the bells were at the top of this 50 metre high tower and you were pushing a baton and you had 50 metres of wire

going all the way to the top, that would probably cause a lot of problems and maintenance issues and stuff. So you want the keyboard, so to speak, to be as close to the bells as possible, I think. I don't know of carolins that are based at ground level. There's no reason you couldn't have one, except I guess you want bells to be high so they can be heard far and wide. I guess that's the whole purpose, yeah. The mechanics of it is exactly the same as a piano. Pianos are the same. You press a key and it moves this, which moves that wooden thing,

and then a little hammer bangs down onto a wire. In this case, it's a bell instead of a wire, but, yeah. It's marvellous to see it. And I love how the English inside these kind of mechanical, sort of industrial-looking machines, everything's always clean and painted bright red or bright green. I love how the English do that with their sort of industrial-era kind of mechanisms and stuff.

There's such a steam engine-y kind of clean, red, shiny, coloured metals kind of country, aren't they? They are nice. The bells were very lovely. Anyway, go and have a look. Please do go and have a look. And our thanks to Scott, Carolyn and everyone at the British Carolyn Society for helping make this possible.

Now let's come to the big news about the sofa shop. As I said, and as you all know, we've had many, many covers of the sofa shop sent in to us and we feature them all the time. And we will continue to feature them here on the show because we really appreciate it. But I thought it was time to sort of memorialize some of them and create something, create a keepsake. So Tim and I are very proud to announce the existence of a new product, which I have hundreds and hundreds of sitting here in a box in my office. which I have hundreds and hundreds of sitting here in a box in my office.

And that is the official Sofa Shop mixtape, an audio cassette of 48 of our favourite covers available to own in ways that we have not yet decided. Tim, do you think everyone knows what a mixtape is? Like, would your girls know what a mixtape is? I don't think they would. They would know it as a playlist, really. Yeah. They get what a playlist is.

I've made them playlists. Explain what a mixtape is to our younger listeners who wouldn't have even experienced audio cassettes. Well, essentially it's a compilation of a bunch of songs that you give to someone. You make up a tape of some songs you think they'll like or that you like and want to share with them. Yeah.

And you put them one after another on a cassette. The only thing is it's a lot harder than just dragging files over because in the days of cassettes, you would have to, you know, have two cassettes side by side and one song would play and you'd have to press record on the other one. So'd go over and then you'd click it stop at the when it finished and then move to another tape and then press record again and you'd have to time it all perfectly and you'd even have to time is this going to fit in before the tape ends so you know the last song's always in danger of being chopped in half i would also and I'm sure you did this too, sometimes make

my own mixtapes of songs I liked recorded off the radio. So you'd have the radio playing, and then whenever a song came on you'd like, you'd quickly press record and record off the radio. And then when it stopped, you'd press stop. And you'd do this all through the day. So at the end of the day, you'd have a tape just of your favorite songs but almost all of them had the start missing yes and almost all of them had like a dj talking over the end of them as well yes yes oh man i had so many like that and there are still songs today that i when i hear it on the radio uh it feels it sounds wrong because it it doesn't have some little, like, problem with it. Like, there's, you know, a little, like, there's a Roxette song that goes, like, on one of my mixtapes. Like, something went wrong.

And the song sounds wrong on the radio not to have that in it because I listen to it so often like that. I feel strange if I listen to Touch Me by Samantha Fox and it hasn't got a DJ talking over the last 10 seconds of it. Or another song cuts in just at the end. Bang, one song leads into another song straight away. I remember getting a new stereo for my birthday. I can't remember which birthday, early teens somewhere, and being so excited that it was laying next to my bed and it was just on the stand next to my

bed. And I did that all night. I would just be laying there with my finger on record, ready to record a song that I liked because I was just so excited to be doing it on my new stereo. Yeah. I did the same thing. I love it. It's so funny to think music just seems so distant and to cap, the fact that it was coming for free through the radio, you just wanted to capture it and record it and and hold on to it and oh i actually got a little bit sophisticated with my mixtapes that i when i knew that there was just a a minute or 30 seconds or something like that towards the end of the side instead of starting a new song that would be cut off halfway

i would just put some instrumental music on so it would just be like it would flow instrumentally nicely to the end and then you'd start a fresh new song on on the second side and i used to think that was pretty that was some some of my early mix work so here it is in my hand i'm opening it there we go the plastic cover got the cassette oh that sound my hand oh that's the sound of the tape we've got like oh we've got all branding on it and little The plastic cover. Got the cassette. Oh, that sound. In my hand. That's the sound of the tape. We've got all branding on it and a little insert and everything. It's a very professional-looking tape.

Really proud of it. We haven't exactly decided what to do with these yet, how to get them out to the people. Stay tuned for that. You can give us some ideas if you want. They're really cool. We just haven't exactly decided what to do with it. Well, we can sell them or they could be a prize for a particular competition or patron gift.

I don't know. The great cliché of mixtapes is that you give them to the girl you had a crush on. Yes. And say, you know, these are songs that remind me of you or you just want to share your musical taste with them. So the cliche is the sad nerdy boy having made a mixtape for the girl and giving it to her. Did you ever give a mixtape to a girl?

I can't remember if I did. I would sometimes play a song I liked down the phone to a girl I liked. Like I'd do that sometimes. Oh, yeah. You know, play it on your cassette player and then hold the bottom of the phone up against the player so she could hear it at the other end. Why didn't you just, like, SMS her a link so she could find herself on Spotify?

This was on an old rotary Bakelite phone. Always a poison chalice doing that though of course because then forever you're associated with that song and so if there's heartbreak involved oh gosh yeah you know that that artist has an asterisk next to them forever anyway there we go the sofa shop mixtape there are pictures and videos and we'll share it and there'll be more news on that soon but it exists very proud of it you've got yours haven't you i've sent them to you already. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love them. Yep.

I've put one in. I've got a few cassettes on my shelf, like of a favourite album and an important sermon to me that was important, a recording of Dad doing something, and just a few. And I've slotted it in there. So it's mated into the little Hein Canon. Very nice. Nice.

I love cassettes. But I love them bouncing around in the car as well. So that feeling of driving along and with one hand opening a cassette and sliding into the cassette player. I mean, that's just gold, that feeling. Yes. Bang. And then it comes on, the music. And fast forwarding in the car, don't want to hear this song. Thumbs on, the music. And fast-forwarding in the car, don't want to hear this song. And over time, you would get so good with your cassette player,

you would be at one with your cassette player, that you could literally fast-forward a song and stop at just the right moment to be at the start of the next song. You just had that feel for how long to hold down fast-forward for. The timing, perfect, perfect timing. There it is. And, of course, the cassette player chewing up your cassettes and having to wind them back in, wind the tape back in with a pencil. Another great, another lost art.

So getting a bit more modern, you remember a few episodes ago when we played some 8-bit versions of The Sofa Shop, which, by the way, are included on the tape. Nice. Tim made a comment about how wouldn't it be cool to have a SofaShop video game. And a few people have actually started making SofaShop video games. And I want to mention two. One came from Felix, and I'll include a link so you can go and play it.

He said, Dear Brady and Tim, I did it. A demo version of the SofaShop game. I listened to episode 88 of the Unmade podcast and I could not resist. I work as a software engineer in Stockholm, Sweden, and I felt like I could whip something together during my free time after work this week. I hope you enjoy it. So anyway, I'll include a link. Tim and I have both played this.

It's called the SofaChop. It's a great game. It's got this little intro sequence That sets the scene With these cute little sofas talking to each other I won't ruin it for you Go and have a look But there's music Sofa shop 8-bit music playing in the background

And everything It sets the scene beautifully And then it's all about a customer comes in Who wants to match their curtains and their sofa As is the way in the Sofa Shop song. And then they show you a colour of curtains, like, say, green curtains. And then all these sofas go flying across the screen. And if they match, if the sofa's green, you have to let the sofa go.

But if it doesn't match, you have to, like, chop it in half with your computer mouse and slice it in midair. It's really exciting. Were you very good at it? It's brilliant. I love the sounds and the feel and the look of it. Great. Sofa chop video game. Go and check out Felix's game.

As I said, link in the notes. Apparently it doesn't work on some browsers and you can download it and there's a whole bunch of technical stuff, but I'll let you people figure it out. You know better than us. And here's a second game. This one's called Escape the Sofa Shop. It comes from Adam in Cambridge.

Tim and Brady, I recently discovered the Unmade podcast and have been catching up. Inspired by episode 88, I made a game. I think it's somewhat different from what you're picturing, but I've always had a soft spot for the text adventure games of the 80s when I was growing up. So he's made one of these text adventure games. You know, these ones, Tim, where it's most of it's writing and, you know, do you want to walk left into the room or do you want to pick up the spanner? And the games like unfold like that. I think you were quite into these. You used to design one of these in basic. Yeah, I went through. Yeah, I did. I went through a phase of making them a little bit at school. So anyway, I've got Escape the Sofa Shop in front of me here,

Tim. Do you want to play? Play it with me for a minute Oh, okay It says, you wake The last few notes of the sofa shop jingle disappearing as the dream fades The last thing you remember is that you were enjoying an afternoon Looking for a new sofa and perhaps some matching curtains Now you find yourself curled on a comfortable chair In the corner of the store you were looking around earlier The sun appears to have of the store you were looking around earlier. The sun appears

to have gone down while you were asleep. The tinkle of a bell rings and you hear a door being closed and locked. How am I going to get out of here? In the emergency lighting, you can see that you are surrounded by sofas of various styles. You can see an exit sign in the distance and the outline of a desk in the other direction. Are we going to head towards the exit or walk to the desk? Walk to the desk. Okay, I'm going to click on walk to the desk. This appears to be a customer service desk, but it's difficult to tell in this light. There is a small glowing switch on the wall here.

Do you want to press the switch or go back to the sofa section? Press the switch. All right, I'm pressing it. The shop's lights all turn on, allowing you to see properly. You are at the customer service desk. A sign on the door behind the counter reads, staff only, and there is a waste paper basket under the counter. Here are our choices, Tim. Are we going to investigate the waste paper basket, look at the cash register, open the staff-only door, head back to the sofa section, or head to the curtain section? Open the staff-only door.

What's your thinking there? Why do you want to do that? I'm curious. It just seems like there could be something interesting behind there because it's not somewhere where anyone else can go.'s open the staff only door i'm pressing it it says the door appears to be locked with a keypad with strange symbols on it and then there's this big there's a picture of the keypad with all these symbols like stars and flags and stuff oh yeah so we can press it you can press all these buttons but i guess we don't know what to press do we return so there's obviously a code we've got to get. It says return to the customer service desk. All right. Okay, we're back at the customer service desk now. We can investigate the waste paper basket,

look at the cash register, open staff only door, head to safer section, head to curtain section. Investigate the waste paper basket then. I wonder if there's a code in there. It says here, you look through the contents of the waste paper basket. Most of it looks like old junk. There is a pair of old shorts and a crumpled up voucher.

Do you want to take a voucher or take shorts? Are they Fanta shorts or are they just normal shorts? Should we click take shorts and find out? Yeah, let's find out about the shorts. I'm going to click take shorts. Looking more closely at the shorts, they appear to have Fanta on them. These look so good good they're worthy of being framed

I'm liking the in jokes there were lots of good in jokes in Felix's game as well alright let's click take voucher you take the voucher it's for KFC why would anyone throw this away so now our

options are look at the cash register open the staff door head to sofa section head to curtain section this is this is the closest people will get to actually being in the sofa shop like i know it's amazing it's amazing as some it's really good as you were walking because i was in the actual sofa shop right that?
