  Activate your internet because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three, two.

• 0:17Speaker 01

  Sorry, it's still buffering. One.

• 0:24Speaker 02

  Ahoy to me Nieru, Hamish.

• 0:27Speaker 03

  Better than being a Faru. Keep your.

• 0:29Speaker 02

  Keep your roots close. Ah, ahoy to me Miku, Jack.

• 0:34Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 0:35Speaker 02

  Are we mascots?

• 0:36Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 0:37Speaker 02

  Not quite.

• 0:38Speaker 03

  Good guess.

• 0:39Speaker 02

  And I am Tito.

• 0:42Speaker 03

  Of course you are.

• 0:44Speaker 02

  No idea.

• 0:45Speaker 03

  Can't say anything's jumping out of my eye.

• 0:47Speaker 02

  No. We are the three main Vocaloids, which is this new rage of AI voices that sing.

• 0:57Speaker 03

  Sorry.

• 0:58Speaker 04

  I don't know the Vocaloids.

• 0:59Speaker 03

  Well, there's a, I don't know.

• 1:01Speaker 04

  This is ninety percent of the sentence.

• 1:02Speaker 02

  This is what, this is what's written.

• 1:04Speaker 03

  Are they a band or what?

• 1:05Speaker 02

  You say about them, the fanbase are very aggressive.

• 1:07Speaker 03

  Gotcha. Not, not having a go.

• 1:09Speaker 02

  Are they like a Huntrix? Are they a made up? Yeah, essentially we're, we're entering a world now where AI can create songs.

• 1:16Speaker 03

  And it's not like.

• 1:17Speaker 02

  These are the first superstars and they're a Vocaloid trio and these AI vocalists are called Vocaloids.

• 1:24Speaker 03

  So it's, it's a made up.

• 1:26Speaker 02

  No one's voice.

• 1:27Speaker 03

  No one's voice.

• 1:28Speaker 02

  It's a synthesized voice.

• 1:29Speaker 03

  Okay, so it's not like Huntrix. Apologize to all the Huntrix fans out there. Of course, they're huge stars, but their images are created.

• 1:37Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, this is, and originally created by Yamaha.

• 1:41Speaker 04

  Really? Oh, so, no, I do like them actually. Those Vocaloids.

• 1:46Speaker 03

  Did you get a free guitar 10 years ago? You cannot reply.

• 1:50Speaker 04

  I still got a soft spot.

• 1:51Speaker 02

  You can't, you can't get a free Vocaloid, mate.

• 1:55Speaker 02

  So they're a band. They come together as a trio of singers, but they also can perform individually.

• 2:01Speaker 03

  They can be back and they can do 100 gigs on the same night. That's the bonus.

• 2:05Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 2:06Speaker 03

  What's the, who owns it? Like does Yamaha own it? How do you, I mean, what are you copyright there? Do you just copyright the EQ settings of going, it has 28 bass, 71 treble?

• 2:19Speaker 02

  I guess that sound of that person, that vocaloid's voice becomes its own thing.

• 2:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:25Speaker 02

  And it's, it will be like other people's derivative because it's AI, but hopefully uniquely its own thing.

• 2:30Speaker 03

  I think I'm right with bass 21.

• 2:32Speaker 02

  No, because our EQ is not like a, someone makes your voice, your voice.

• 2:36Speaker 03

  It's not a recipe.

• 2:37Speaker 02

  I don't think so. No. Ahoi, also to Trevs and Julia, I went to hamishnanny.com to tell us what they've been up to.

• 2:44Speaker 05

  Ahoi, Hamish, Andy and Jack. This is Trevs and Julia, bringing in from beautiful Oakland, California, where the sunshine is as strong as our gusto.

• 2:55Speaker 06

  And it also happens to be the home of the Socceroos for the next month and a half. So by the time we get this uploaded, they'll probably have won the World Cup.

• 3:03Speaker 05

  Now, being common people ourselves, we couldn't help but notice that the Socceroos are actually staying in one of the nicest hotels in town. It's actually branded as a resort.

• 3:13Speaker 03

  Let them.

• 3:13Speaker 05

  And it costs up to 1,200 US dollars a night. Or to put that into conversion terms that you might understand, that's 1,700 bows from the Weasel King himself.

• 3:24Speaker 06

  Clearly the tax dollars of the Australian people are hard at work.

• 3:28Speaker 05

  Must be very nice indeed. Perhaps that's something else you could bring up to all Jim Charmers the next time you get to see him.

• 3:34Speaker 06

  Keep up the good work, boys. Love the show.

• 3:36Speaker 03

  No one is clamouring for the Socceroos to stay in worse accommodation. I think that is the one area Australia's like, let them rest.

• 3:42Speaker 02

  Product.

• 3:43Speaker 03

  I don't think the government pays them to go. I reckon Nike could have something to do with footing the bill.

• 3:48Speaker 02

  But I also don't think the government owned the Socceroos, do they?

• 3:50Speaker 03

  Yeah. I wouldn't, I don't think, I mean.

• 3:52Speaker 02

  No, I don't think so.

• 3:53Speaker 03

  Football Australia?

• 3:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, footy Australia.

• 3:55Speaker 03

  I think, I think even if we're paying as taxpayers, let them rest.

• 3:59Speaker 02

  We're not.

• 4:00Speaker 03

  Which we're not. I've got no problem with it.

• 4:03Speaker 02

  But yeah, again, I reckon most of us would like to, if we'd heard that they were staying in poor accommodation.

• 4:09Speaker 04

  Well, if they ran out onto the ground and they had, like they were rubbing their necks.

• 4:13Speaker 03

  We're all couch surfing because we're not, we're not upsetting anyone.

• 4:17Speaker 02

  We'll move on. Hey, it seems, would you actually, would we all agree? It seems more and more in this era, in this time, people can just make promises.

• 4:31Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:31Speaker 02

  And with no intention of keeping them. It just seems.

• 4:34Speaker 03

  I think an unfollowed through promise has become a much more common trait.

• 4:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. And to me, I just, I reflected on that this week and going, are we living in a time where you can just do that willingly?

• 4:48Speaker 01

  I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

• 4:54Speaker 07

  There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead. Promises, promises, I'm a through with promises, promises now. Read my lips. No, no taxes.

• 5:07Speaker 04

  No way that GST will ever be part of our policy. Never, ever. Never, ever. It's dead.

• 5:12Speaker 01

  And I want to say this to the television audience. I'm not a crook.

• 5:16Speaker 02

  Jack. Yeah. How's the board game going?

• 5:22Speaker 07

  I'm laughing, I'm out. Oh, promises, promises.

• 5:28Speaker 02

  This is your opportunity to say, I'm not doing it. Oh, I was about to say I'll do it over summer. I know, I can see this. Appreciate that. There will be a prototype to play. Yes, there will.

• 5:44Speaker 02

  Jacko, how are we going with the board game? I thought, I thought I bought myself another few months.

• 5:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, I thought it was, I thought it was end of financial year.

• 5:54Speaker 02

  Hmm. Well, it's been months since we last talked about it. So you have bought yourself another few months. How many months were you hoping for? Uh, look, the problem with it is, it's just so hard, so much harder than what I thought it would be.

• 6:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 6:08Speaker 02

  And every time I go, like, sit down to do it, I'm like, oh, then you're gonna like, have all the characters, print all the cards, make little plastic. What did you think it was gonna be? I don't know, I just never thought any of that. But with round plaques?

• 6:24Speaker 04

  It just seems so overwhelming that every time I sit down to do it's like, what's the point of doing step one when there's a hundred steps to go?

• 6:30Speaker 03

  The spirit.

• 6:32Speaker 04

  Sad when Hillary thought that as he went to the top of it.

• 6:35Speaker 03

  You do see a lot of that floating around the inspirational pages on Instagram. What's the point, man?

• 6:40Speaker 04

  Step one.

• 6:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, the greatest marathon begins with a single step. Well, if you know it's gonna be a marathon, don't take that step. Put your feet up. Jack, last time we talked, the board game program, and yes, Andy put that package together purely just to get us into this.

• 6:54Speaker 04

  Thank you. No, that was good.

• 6:55Speaker 03

  Slightly trapped, but last time we talked, you were like, I've come up with an idea. It's gonna be about like lost touch, in touch.

• 7:03Speaker 04

  Common man landia.

• 7:05Speaker 03

  Common man landia.

• 7:06Speaker 04

  It just didn't, it probably didn't catch fire like I thought it.

• 7:10Speaker 03

  I'm great. I'm so glad to hear that because you know what?

• 7:14Speaker 03

  Well, you didn't like the creative. I didn't like the direction it took and I didn't wanna just shit on the idea.

• 7:21Speaker 04

  No, thank you for not doing it in the moment because it was, I was at the time really excited about it.

• 7:25Speaker 03

  That's true. And, and ideas need time to grow. And when they're like, you know, fledgling little saplings, you can't stand on them, but.

• 7:31Speaker 04

  Or peter out. They, they, they either to grow or peter out.

• 7:35Speaker 03

  But when I saw that sapling growing, I didn't have high hopes for it to become a mighty oak. I was like, there's enough in it. So, you know, even though you're still in development stage, could I just, now that a bit of time has passed and you haven't done any more work on it, maybe you're coming to the same conclusion that it's just not the rich vein that you hoped for.

• 7:54Speaker 04

  So like if people were crazy for it, like yes, yes, yes, we must play that. I mean, I saved a couple of screenshots that yes, people were excited, but it just wasn't enough.

• 8:03Speaker 03

  And didn't see a single email.

• 8:04Speaker 04

  You just didn't hit, reach the tipping point that I was hoping for.

• 8:06Speaker 03

  I would say even calling it a smoldering level of interest would be optimistic. It certainly didn't catch fire.

• 8:13Speaker 04

  No, it didn't.

• 8:13Speaker 03

  Now, great to hear, cause yeah, I didn't love the direction of the board game. So scrap it. Can we just start again? Okay. Oh, he's going, so you're saying that the task is still. No, the task remains. I mean, you love board games. People have asked for a Hamish and Andy podcast board game. What is wrong with, like, what if it was just, now, we obviously can't call it Monopoly because.

• 8:36Speaker 04

  No, you can't, you can't, can't just like rebrick.

• 8:41Speaker 04

  They've got, they've got every Monopoly under the sun.

• 8:43Speaker 03

  Exactly. I used to have a game called Solar Quest, which was going and buying the different moons from all the planets. That was just space Monopoly. This is one, this is one.

• 8:53Speaker 03

  Left with. Sounds interesting. What was Mayfair? Mayfair, it was one of Jupiter's moons. Yeah, Ganymede. Ganymede, could have been one of those. Yeah, yeah. What was, where was Earth's moon? What strip? Was it a utility? Yeah, it was more of a utility.

• 9:09Speaker 04

  Could you buy a planet?

• 9:10Speaker 03

  Yes. Once you owned all the. It's a basic system and we're interested in the game. Once you owned all the moons, I think you got the planet.

• 9:19Speaker 04

  This is, this is the problem I have. I, I have high ambitions. So when people, because people have been messaging me like, why don't you do a Monopoly? Or why don't you do, I don't know, Trouble or something, but make it.

• 9:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, because I mean, it could be like, you pick up Community Chest, you know, congratulations. You weasel to free golf cart, you've managed to sell it for $800.

• 9:36Speaker 04

  Blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

• 9:38Speaker 03

  Blah, blah, blah. It's better than nothing. I mean.

• 9:40Speaker 04

  I, I can picture like making a fully new game and people love it so much and then.

• 9:46Speaker 03

  Make it.

• 9:46Speaker 04

  And it actually transcends just fans of the podcast and it becomes a staple in everybody's home.

• 9:52Speaker 03

  Oh, wow. That's awesome.

• 9:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 9:54Speaker 03

  Okay, so what is it? So you pictured it, but is that bit, is it just the resolutions?

• 9:58Speaker 04

  That's what I want. That's what I want.

• 10:01Speaker 03

  You make a cup of tea and you can hear them, but I can't see what they're doing. So when you picture it, can you see the rules? Squint.

• 10:10Speaker 04

  I can just see the good vibes in the room, but I can't see any.

• 10:14Speaker 03

  Pan down, pan down.

• 10:18Speaker 03

  You've got the camera too high. You can only see people's faces.

• 10:21Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 10:21Speaker 03

  Zoom to the floor. What is on the table? What are they playing?

• 10:25Speaker 04

  I can't, it's not Monopoly, but it's something new.

• 10:28Speaker 03

  Oh, so you can see, you can see a little bit of what it is.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  Jack's eyes are closed, everybody.

• 10:34Speaker 03

  We're all trying to see it.

• 10:36Speaker 04

  He's loving it. The boy are they having fun?

• 10:38Speaker 03

  Everyone's loving it. Move back, move back, mum. You're blocking the camera. I can't see the game. I've only got a few more minutes of this hallucination. I need to see it.

• 10:48Speaker 04

  Whereas if we just rebadge Monopoly, all you get is like, people go, ah, yeah, see what they did here.

• 10:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, we're not doing that.

• 10:54Speaker 03

  I'm just trying to help you out here. Trying to help you deliver on this promise.

• 10:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 10:59Speaker 02

  So here's the question.

• 11:01Speaker 03

  Okay, so we've imagined the outcome. So, you know, I can imagine me on top of Everest. Everyone's cheering. He's done it. One day a sentence, shorts and a t-shirt, no oxygen. I'm high fiving all the Sherpas. It feels great. And how did I do it?

• 11:15Speaker 04

  How did I possibly do it?

• 11:17Speaker 02

  So here's Jack. I want to ask, are we off? Is this out? Are we finished?

• 11:24Speaker 04

  Give me

• 11:27Speaker 04

  three years.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  You can have one and a half.

• 11:33Speaker 04

  Okay, deal.

• 11:36Speaker 03

  Jeez, it better be, it better be awesome. You've got till Christmas 2027. Can it be released in time for Christmas 2027?

• 11:46Speaker 04

  It will be in stores for 2027.

• 11:50Speaker 03

  Of course it will. Send it with its bigger promise.

• 11:59Speaker 02

  Gents, I had a WhatsApp group mishap.

• 12:03Speaker 03

  What happened?

• 12:05Speaker 02

  I mean, we've got, you've got your traditional ones.

• 12:07Speaker 04

  They're, they're easy to mix up.

• 12:08Speaker 02

  You know, not realising someone was added to the thread and then talking about them. That's, that's one of your traditionals.

• 12:15Speaker 03

  It's also hard. There needs to be a feature on WhatsApp because group chats always have funny names. And then you're like, I can't remember

• 12:22Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 12:22Speaker 03

  our funny name for these three people. We were like, you know, like sense of Or something like, what was our name for that? You know, like three course luncheon, like who is on? I can't remember.

• 12:35Speaker 02

  The running golfers. Got one called the running golfers, just guys that enjoy running and playing golf. Like, who is on this? Yeah. So yeah, that's, that's another mishap. Posting to the wrong thread, something that may be appropriate for footy mates, not as appropriate for kindergarten parents.

• 12:50Speaker 03

  Well, yeah, the only thing I, school WhatsApps are like a whole world. You're not in it, Jack, but you'll get there, you'll get there next year. And, you know, then you have kids in two different year levels and then there's like the, like the general year level one, like there's like year three, all of year three. Then there's just year three D and it's just, you know, this, it can be like 80 notifications a minute. You have to mute those.

• 13:15Speaker 02

  Too much. It's too. In more than like three or four messages deep, I don't go back to read what I've missed.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  And I cannot not think of a funny reply, well funny to me, but like a non-helpful reply. And I, and Zo's banned me from participating in the group because it'll be like, um, you know, oh guys, what? Like what's going on with tomorrow? Is it a gold coin donation? I think, is it like, is it casual or is it, is that just for year threes or is that, you know, is that for everyone? And, uh, you know, I always am worried stuff like, well, I'm, I always go in casual, like, you know, to the group and it's not helpful.

• 13:49Speaker 02

  Noise.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  But it's all my brain could think of. So Zo's like, hey mate, you're not helping in the group chat. Sorry. I can just sit there.

• 13:56Speaker 02

  Yes. Well, none of, this doesn't apply like into any of those traditional categories of error. In fact, it's not even user error, it's just unlucky. It's from my over 40s masters hockey team group chat.

• 14:08Speaker 03

  How's the team going?

• 14:09Speaker 02

  Going well. Thank you.

• 14:10Speaker 03

  Masters of the field.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  Yes. Gatto uploads a photo of his knee and lower thigh that is very, very bruised and growing out. He's clearly got a ball there, uh, during the game and he's going, you know, wore this one lads.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:29Speaker 02

  Which is the kind of stuff.

• 14:31Speaker 03

  At a glance from a distance, is it clearly a knee and a lower calf or could it have been?

• 14:38Speaker 02

  Yeah. So that's got people on the chat saying things like ouch, Gatto.

• 14:42Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 14:42Speaker 02

  And whore, that's a good one. Or geez, Gatto, that's nasty.

• 14:49Speaker 03

  Doesn't look good, mate. Fun.

• 14:52Speaker 02

  That is hard. I know when you like, when it's with happy birthdays, I find as well, you, you feel like you have to variate it a little bit.

• 14:59Speaker 03

  Yes. Variations.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  HB, man.

• 15:02Speaker 03

  Yeah. But again, the reason you don't involve get, jump in on the class group chat too, is because it's like, oh, here's the performance from assembly. Yeah. And then once a person like, wow, and they're like, so good. Kids aren't even reading this. They're not on it. We don't have to say, congrats, guys. Like, we get it. We all love them. They're our kids.

• 15:20Speaker 02

  So the standard ones had been going in with those type of, so I'm thinking, gee, I'm a bit late to this. I better send off my equivalent of our Gatto.

• 15:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:30Speaker 02

  At the very same time, someone else is also sending a message, which is a different topic completely. And theirs happens to come into the group before mine.

• 15:43Speaker 03

  Before you can send your torpedo out.

• 15:44Speaker 02

  But I've sent mine. There's just appears first.

• 15:48Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 15:49Speaker 02

  There's reads, hey, guys, just wanted to pass on the sad news that David's mum passed away. Thoughts are with you, mate. Love to you and the family. My reply? Yikes. Exclamation mark. Exclamation mark. Nothing a few cold beers won't fix. Wow. So unlucky.

• 16:12Speaker 03

  That's really unmucky.

• 16:13Speaker 02

  I had.

• 16:14Speaker 03

  Torpedoes just crossed each other in the ocean.

• 16:17Speaker 02

  I put mine, I sent and put the phone down. I've come back to just condolence, condolence, condolence. Like, this is a bit odd. What have I missed here? And gone up, I am first reply to that message.

• 16:32Speaker 03

  Cause then people will be looking at it being like, oh, that's what I normally write. Nothing a few cold beers won't fix when someone's parent dies. But Andy's got in with that. So

• 16:41Speaker 03

  what's my variation I can do? Nothing a few nip nips of whiskey won't fix.

• 16:53Speaker 02

  All right. You ready, Ham?

• 16:55Speaker 03

  Okay, here we go.

• 16:55Speaker 02

  Let's jump into this.

• 17:07Speaker 03

  Fellas, I was actually in Townsville last week, um, quickly. And went to a cafe there, cafe called The Pedlar Project.

• 17:17Speaker 02

  Was it good?

• 17:17Speaker 03

  Which I, it was lovely. It's actually a very nice cafe. Found out the history, cause I actually went there two days in a row and got talking to the guy that worked there. Uh, the owner, used to be a coffee cart on the back of a bike.

• 17:30Speaker 02

  Right.

• 17:30Speaker 03

  You know, it's done good.

• 17:32Speaker 02

  Caterpillar has become a butterfly.

• 17:34Speaker 03

  It sure has. And now the butterfly has become Mothra from the Godzilla movies.

• 17:38Speaker 02

  Right.

• 17:39Speaker 03

  Butterfly, because now it's a big cafe that's, you know, doing very well. And, you know, he's a big fan of the show. Um, and he knows his name and I think I know his name.

• 17:53Speaker 03

  He obviously knows his names. There's no need to say it.

• 17:55Speaker 02

  I was just bored this break. Guys, hang on a second, guys. Hang on a second. I'm just gonna quickly look something. And then you spit like, three seconds.

• 18:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, no.

• 18:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:03Speaker 03

  Think it's Joel.

• 18:04Speaker 02

  No, I'm good. I'm good.

• 18:05Speaker 03

  I think it's Joel. And if it's not Joel, it's so close to Joel that I think he'll appreciate how close I've got it. Cause if he's a true fan of the show, he'll know names are my forte.

• 18:12Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 18:13Speaker 03

  Place is great. I was in there two days in a row and he was like, how, you know, big fan of the pod, doing some bows, doing some, you know, well, I guess not dollars, no, no addition to the tip jar, but doing some bows. And he goes, hey, love it if you could gusto check my cafe. And I was like, oh mate, we don't, I've actually never had a request for a gusto check from like an in-person gusto.

• 18:36Speaker 02

  This is like that TV show, undercover boss.

• 18:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:40Speaker 02

  Where the, the boss reaches out to the show to go, hey.

• 18:45Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 18:45Speaker 02

  Let me do it.

• 18:46Speaker 03

  Let me get on the factory floor.

• 18:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:49Speaker 03

  So I said to him, look, it's a big call, cause a gusto check can go either way.

• 18:54Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 18:54Speaker 03

  Come off looking real low gusto and that's not good for the business.

• 18:57Speaker 02

  And then you'll be back on the back of a cart bike.

• 18:59Speaker 03

  Yeah. If you've done with your skateboard project, bust you all the way down to a pair of roller blades.

• 19:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 19:05Speaker 03

  And just a, and a tin of Mokona, just roller blading, roller blading around, offering two scoops for a dollar.

• 19:11Speaker 02

  Yep. So. Known to make or break companies this.

• 19:14Speaker 03

  If you are willing to take that risk.

• 19:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 19:17Speaker 03

  Sure. And I said, look, mate, all right. Well, I'm, you know, obviously I can't tell you when I can't tell you. I said, probably won't be for months. It could be next year.

• 19:24Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 19:24Speaker 03

  Said to him, so are you ready to be at high gusto the whole time? He was like, I'm ready.

• 19:28Speaker 02

  Great.

• 19:29Speaker 03

  The genius of that is he won't be expecting right now.

• 19:33Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 19:33Speaker 03

  So I've told him to brace for a year from now.

• 19:35Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 19:36Speaker 03

  Which.

• 19:37Speaker 02

  No, I think it's probably more front of mind.

• 19:40Speaker 03

  Well, I.

• 19:40Speaker 02

  Let's just do it anyway.

• 19:41Speaker 03

  I feel like, I feel like the temptation would be to take the foot off the gusto pedal for us.

• 19:47Speaker 02

  Knowing, no, for him, knowing that he's not going to get audited for some time.

• 19:50Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 19:51Speaker 02

  As in a gusto audit.

• 19:52Speaker 03

  Yeah. That's why I think most likely have his defenses down now.

• 19:56Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 19:56Speaker 03

  And then we zoom in and gusto check him now.

• 19:59Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 19:59Speaker 03

  Um.

• 20:00Speaker 02

  So basically, for people who don't know what this is, we ring people to see, businesses to see how happy they are, how much gusto they have in customer service, their, their public facing approach. And we judge them on their hello.

• 20:13Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 20:14Speaker 02

  The greeting, their goodbye, but also something in the middle. What are you thinking?

• 20:18Speaker 03

  I noticed they do have a few specials. I'm, I reckon I'd be like, what's the best special today?

• 20:23Speaker 02

  The one I really like is when you say, I know there's a cafe around the corner or something. Why should I choose yours?

• 20:28Speaker 03

  Well, I, I, I think.

• 20:30Speaker 02

  Question.

• 20:31Speaker 03

  I think what about this, like Mackay is some drive from Townsville, but to go, I'm coming in from Mackay.

• 20:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:38Speaker 03

  And I've Googled a few cafes.

• 20:39Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 20:40Speaker 03

  Why should I? Why should I come from Mackay?

• 20:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:42Speaker 03

  Go to your cafe.

• 20:43Speaker 02

  Can you just go with, are the seats comfy as well? I don't think you'd ever ask someone that.

• 20:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, good. Good seats.

• 20:50Speaker 02

  I have a hip issue. I have a, I have a sensitive, I have sensitive glutes.

• 20:57Speaker 02

  Okay. So we've got four categories today.

• 20:59Speaker 03

  Okay. So what's the best special?

• 21:01Speaker 02

  Oh, special as well.

• 21:03Speaker 03

  How's your seats? And then I'm coming from Mackay.

• 21:06Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 21:07Speaker 03

  Um, and then goodbye.

• 21:08Speaker 02

  Okay, gee, there's five categories. All right.

• 21:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, five. I mean, that's, that will give us a good score.

• 21:14Speaker 02

  Yeah. Jack, you got the number?

• 21:16Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 21:16Speaker 02

  Good luck.

• 21:17Speaker 03

  Here we go, head.

• 21:26Speaker 02

  Good morning Pedlar Project, how can I help today?

• 21:29Speaker 03

  Oh, good day, how you going?

• 21:31Speaker 02

  Good, how can I help?

• 21:32Speaker 03

  Um, man, I'm just, um, I'm just wondering, um, what, what, what's your best special today?

• 21:39Speaker 02

  The best special today, mate? I like all of them, but, oh, mate, my, probably my top two is probably the slow cooked beef bolognese or the wagyu beef burger. They're my two favourites at the moment.

• 21:53Speaker 03

  Sounds pretty good. Um, I'm, um, I'm coming in, but I've got quite, um, I've got a bit of a, uh, sitting issue. What, how comfy are your seats?

• 22:04Speaker 02

  Oh, mate, I've got a, I've got a wide variety. I've got a beautiful couch inside. I've got a couple of soft red leather chairs and I've just got regular wooden chairs.

• 22:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, right, okay, that sounds pretty good. Um, actually, I live in Mackay, I'm making the drive up and just trying to figure out where I'm gonna eat. Um, why should I go there?

• 22:27Speaker 02

  Oh, mate, I reckon we got the best food this side of the Murray River, if I'm being honest with you.

• 22:31Speaker 03

  The Murray?

• 22:31Speaker 02

  That's not just my opinion, that's, I reckon that's the best cafe in town, so a hundred percent, mate.

• 22:37Speaker 03

  All right, what was your name?

• 22:38Speaker 02

  Mitch.

• 22:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, good, good Mitch. All right, well, I'll, um, I'll come in, I'll, I'll see you, I'll probably, probably see you at the Savo, Mitch.

• 22:48Speaker 02

  Mate, beautiful, mate, well, kitchen's open till one o'clock, just so you're aware, mate.

• 22:53Speaker 03

  Good gusto, Mitch.

• 22:55Speaker 02

  Hey, thank you, mate. Hey, we'll see you this afternoon, thank you very much.

• 22:58Speaker 03

  Okay, cheers, mate.

• 23:00Speaker 02

  Bye bye.

• 23:02Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 23:03Speaker 03

  I mean, it felt like such good gusto, I was like, has he been warned?

• 23:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, it felt like he'd been warned, but then he-

• 23:09Speaker 03

  I don't think that was the owner that I spoke to, but-

• 23:11Speaker 02

  Great tester at the end.

• 23:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, because I was like, this feels too good. If it was Joel, I would be like, all right, this, but I don't think Mitch was the, the name that I got.

• 23:24Speaker 02

  No.

• 23:24Speaker 03

  So I was just like, this feels like they've had a staff meeting and like, if we get called on anything, go maximum gusto, because it was just straight tens.

• 23:32Speaker 02

  Let's quickly go through, hello wasn't a ten.

• 23:35Speaker 03

  This side of the Murray?

• 23:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:36Speaker 03

  I mean, they're in town, so the Murray's been victorious.

• 23:39Speaker 02

  The Murray is a good two and a half thousand kilometres away.

• 23:42Speaker 03

  He might have said, this side of Antarctica.

• 23:47Speaker 02

  Let's quickly go through it though. Hello, I had as a seven.

• 23:49Speaker 04

  I had it still as a nine out of 10 because he went straight into hello, how are you and what can I do for you?

• 23:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, to me it was.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  Which is amazing.

• 23:56Speaker 02

  The line, the line was, the line was fine. I just didn't think it had enough pep in it. But, Hamish, you were 10, were you?

• 24:05Speaker 03

  Well, I mean, that's the only true, if he, if they're all, if they've been on guard for a week for Augusto check.

• 24:13Speaker 03

  He couldn't have known by that stage. Like even though I did an amazing job of masking my voice.

• 24:17Speaker 02

  I felt like it could have had more pep.

• 24:19Speaker 03

  Well.

• 24:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, okay, fair enough.

• 24:20Speaker 03

  But then it came as strong.

• 24:22Speaker 02

  Oh my God, the two specials.

• 24:24Speaker 03

  The specials was a 10.

• 24:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, sales was huge.

• 24:26Speaker 03

  The seats was incredible. That's when I started to smell a rat. Selection of seats. I was like, oh, these guys, these guys have been on the guard for Augusto check for a week.

• 24:34Speaker 02

  He's giving you options in menu. He's giving you options in seats.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  And then he said it's the best feed this side of the Murray.

• 24:41Speaker 02

  10 out of 10.

• 24:42Speaker 03

  Yeah. And then the goodbye was heaps with a reminder that the kitchen closed at 1.

• 24:46Speaker 02

  Let's call him back though, because.

• 24:48Speaker 04

  It was suspicious, wasn't it?

• 24:50Speaker 03

  But I do, I do respect, I mean, you know, you guys are in Melbourne, you know, we're all Melbourne boys at heart. It is generally considered the breakfast.

• 25:01Speaker 07

  Hello, Pedlar Project.

• 25:02Speaker 03

  Oh, that's sorry.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Hello.

• 25:04Speaker 07

  Hello.

• 25:05Speaker 03

  Hello, who's, who's this?

• 25:07Speaker 07

  This is Jordan.

• 25:09Speaker 03

  Jordan, Jordan, it's Hamish and Andy here.

• 25:12Speaker 07

  Hello, how are you?

• 25:13Speaker 02

  Jordan, did you, did you meet Hamish in Townsville?

• 25:17Speaker 07

  I did, sir, yes.

• 25:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, closing up there.

• 25:20Speaker 03

  Jordan, I, it is great to hear your voice again. Um.

• 25:26Speaker 02

  We just spoke to Mitch.

• 25:27Speaker 03

  We just spoke to Mitch. You guess what we were doing?

• 25:30Speaker 07

  Manager Mitch, was it Augusto, Augusto?

• 25:32Speaker 03

  It was Augusto check, mate, and.

• 25:34Speaker 07

  A man of your word, Hamish, thank you.

• 25:36Speaker 03

  I told you to be on guard for a year and I thought we'd sneak one in fast. Except to maybe catch you off guard, but it didn't seem like Mitch was off guard.

• 25:45Speaker 02

  Be honest, Jordan, was Mitch aware of Augusto check coming?

• 25:50Speaker 07

  No, so I've, I've just walked in and he's a bit flustered and he said, I've just had a weird phone call. And I feel like I know who it is, but I can't put my finger on it. And then, um, he went to. Answer this phone call and he just decided to pass it to me.

• 26:06Speaker 03

  He's had too big a day on the phone. Gusto tanks empty. Can you ask Mitch for us now? Actually, can you put Mitch on for us, Jordan?

• 26:14Speaker 07

  I will. I'll put Mitchy on straight away. Here we are, Mitchy.

• 26:19Speaker 07

  Oh, hello. This is Mitchell speaking.

• 26:21Speaker 03

  Mitchell, hi, Mr. Andy here. You don't have to. You can drop the gusto, mate, because you've already passed it. It's line colors. You don't need to use your full name. Did you know that it was a gusto check?

• 26:31Speaker 07

  No, I didn't, but I kind of realised when you said it at the end.

• 26:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, I threw that in there to test because I was like, well, it just seems like you were ready for it. You was, you've probably scored the highest amount of gusto we've ever had during a gusto check. Yeah.

• 26:45Speaker 07

  Oh, mate, I'm glad to hear that. I am glad to hear that.

• 26:48Speaker 03

  Mitch, where did you grow up? What, where does this side of the Murray come from?

• 26:53Speaker 07

  Mate, this, mate, I've been all over the place. Brizzy born, uh, lived in, um, Aubrey Wodonga.

• 26:59Speaker 03

  That's where the Murray reference comes from. I was like, you just don't hear a lot of people in Townsville talking about the Murray River.

• 27:06Speaker 07

  I was born and raised by the, the steamboats on Murray River, mate. That's it.

• 27:10Speaker 03

  Okay. Yes. Hence the reference. Coal smoke in your blood. Mitch, uh, thank you so much. Congratulations. It's a huge score on a gusto check. Just pass us back on to Jordan so we can, um, I, I tell him, uh, to give you a raise and, and, and and also tell him that, uh, Hames kept his word.

• 27:28Speaker 07

  Absolutely. I'll pass him over.

• 27:30Speaker 03

  Cheers.

• 27:31Speaker 07

  Hello.

• 27:32Speaker 03

  Giordano.

• 27:36Speaker 03

  Giordano, uh, great news. Yeah. Mitch has scored the highest gusto we've ever had on the show. Now, do you know in America, I don't know if you've been to America or not, but if they, they do this health inspection thing and you get like an A, you have to put it up in the window. I think you like an A, a B or whatever.

• 27:53Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 27:53Speaker 03

  We should do the same thing with gusto checks where you can actually put your gusto rating in the window, like as determined by Hamish and Andy. Now, we can't be bothered making that graphic, but we authorize you.

• 28:06Speaker 02

  Carly just nodded and gave the thumbs up from outside.

• 28:08Speaker 03

  We're not doing that, but we all are authorizing you to make your own graphic to say, as rated 98% gusto on the Hamish and Andy podcast. And you can do like a little fuel gauge with the dial all the way up nearly at the top.

• 28:22Speaker 07

  Absolutely. We'll get it done.

• 28:24Speaker 03

  Yep. That will, uh, is that something that Jack can whip up?

• 28:29Speaker 04

  Graphic design is in my forte, Jordan, but I couldn't.

• 28:32Speaker 02

  Don't get him to promise anything, mate. He never knows.

• 28:38Speaker 04

  Hey, Jordan, before the lie came out of his mouth, I thought I'd jumped in.

• 28:43Speaker 03

  Just gonna save you months of waiting, Jack trying to find someone travelling to Townsville with a top.

• 28:49Speaker 03

  He does have the time. You can have it around, mate.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  See you, buddy.

• 28:51Speaker 03

  Thanks, Jordan. Thanks, guys. See you, mate. Actually, just while we're, hang on, quickly, last bit on this side of the Murray. That's not even a good saying in Aubrey Wodonga, because this, it could be like 10 metres. If you go, that's the, this is the best, best feed this side of the Murray. If your cafe's 50 metres from the Murray, if you're in Aubrey Wodonga, like you're on the Murray.

• 29:11Speaker 02

  Does that include everything above it, though?

• 29:14Speaker 04

  Technically, it does include everything.

• 29:17Speaker 04

  You know.

• 29:17Speaker 03

  Does it?

• 29:18Speaker 04

  Best, best feed this side of the Murray if.

• 29:20Speaker 03

  Oh, you include even the northern.

• 29:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, can like keep going north all you want, but this is the best.

• 29:25Speaker 03

  Oh, fuck, North America, Europe, everything. Or does it mean in the bit from the Murray to here, this is the best feed, but then there could be another best feed further up?

• 29:36Speaker 02

  You're right. It probably in the sense that Mitch was saying it, it means between here.

• 29:40Speaker 03

  Between here and the Murray.

• 29:42Speaker 02

  And the Murray.

• 29:42Speaker 03

  Murray is the best feed, which is a great saying in Townsville. That's a terrible saying in Aubrey Wodonga. You can be, what I was gonna say before, at being Melbourne boys, I like that it does kind of give it, pays credit to the breakfast scene of Melbourne. You never fight it. Like, well, obviously below the Murray, we can't beat any of those. This side of the Murray. We can, we can beat those.

• 30:11Speaker 03

  Guys, you may remember that kind of out of the blue, we, well, I received, but it was kind of for us, a voice note on WhatsApp from our favourite human actor in the movie War Horse.

• 30:24Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 30:25Speaker 03

  Jeremy.

• 30:25Speaker 02

  Preferred human actor.

• 30:26Speaker 03

  Preferred human actor. We like him in other things, but the horse, obviously, and War Horse was our favourite actor in that film.

• 30:32Speaker 02

  Did we ever get the horse's name?

• 30:34Speaker 03

  No.

• 30:34Speaker 02

  No, nor, nor, to be really honest, did we see the film.

• 30:41Speaker 03

  But it was a, the reason we know the movie War Wars is because when we were in New York, I believe, we used to say, was it playing in the back of taxis when we were in New York? In the back of a taxi, they play the, there's like TV station.

• 30:56Speaker 02

  We've seen 90 minutes of it.

• 30:58Speaker 03

  We saw, we have seen 90.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  Just in 30 second increments in the ad.

• 31:01Speaker 04

  What, they play a whole film?

• 31:02Speaker 02

  No, just 30 seconds.

• 31:04Speaker 03

  We've seen 180 times that 30 second clip. And it just seemed to be everywhere and we were living in New York at the time. So it was like saturated into our brains forever. People, I'd say most people, wonderful film by all accounts. Was it Spielberg?

• 31:16Speaker 02

  Yes, Spielberg, yep. And, uh, and then Jeremy came, a friend of the show. He actually got Andy by Hamish and sprayed Pierce Brosnan with it.

• 31:25Speaker 03

  Wafted on Pierce Brosnan for us, which forever vaulted him into a Hall of Fame, like favorite human actor category.

• 31:32Speaker 02

  Which I believe Pierce didn't love, but that's life. And that was on the set of Mamma Mia. He has sent another voicemail in. Uh, the, the most recent one was about a filthy habit that his mate had. And for some reason he feels like when he comes across another habit that's distasteful, he feels the need to send it to us.

• 31:51Speaker 03

  With a, with a choice.

• 31:53Speaker 02

  So this is the most recent voice note from Jeremy Oviedo.

• 31:57Speaker 07

  Alrighty, so feral British person story number two. So again, one of my friends and she's back on the dating scene and is back on the dating apps, which I know can be a, a minefield for revolting stories, but, um, you know, needs must, she's got to do what a girl's got to do. So she meets this guy and ends up going back to his. And, uh, he's got a dog, but anyway, they do what they do. And she then asks for a glass of water and he goes, oh, I've actually got a system for that.

• 32:38Speaker 07

  He reaches under his bed, he pulls out a washing up bowl, the sort of thing you keep in your sink, it's full of water, grabs two mugs from the side of the bed, dips them both in the water and hands one to her.

• 32:53Speaker 07

  Bit odd, but then the dog jumps off the bed, which yes, had been there the whole time, and starts drinking from the water. She goes, oh, the, the, the dog's getting in your, in your nighttime water. He goes, oh, no, it's all right, it's communal.

• 33:06Speaker 07

  Say yeah.

• 33:12Speaker 03

  A nighttime water like it's branded or a common thing.

• 33:18Speaker 02

  I also liked, oh, don't worry, I've got a system for this.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  I have a system for this. And in my mind, I'm thinking, yes, we all have a system. Amazing. Twist the handles, water comes out the spout. It's almost like magic.

• 33:29Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 33:29Speaker 03

  Twist them off, it stops. No, unless the floor is actually lava and you can't get out of your bed.

• 33:37Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 33:38Speaker 03

  There is no reason to have nighttime water stashed.

• 33:42Speaker 02

  It seems like.

• 33:43Speaker 03

  Like an emergency situation.

• 33:45Speaker 02

  Or if they're in a cottage in the middle of nowhere.

• 33:48Speaker 03

  And you have to go to a manual, a manual pump out in the yard.

• 33:52Speaker 02

  The manual well or something where you start, I put a bucket in from the well that is some hike away.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  Because also if you have a faucet in the house, like a regular tap, filling up the tub and then like stocking the mugs. It's just more effort. It's more, it has to be more effort than a trip to the bathroom to put your head under the tap.

• 34:11Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 34:11Speaker 03

  We're at the stage in our house at the moment, and I remember this as a kid, where you just, if you're thirsty, you shun cups and it's just head under the tap.

• 34:20Speaker 02

  Love that.

• 34:21Speaker 03

  Like when the kids, like during dinner, they're like, oh, can we get a drink? You're like, well, you know, the cups are guys, go get it yourself. They're like, nah. There's always to the sink. But like always just pounding water from the tap.

• 34:31Speaker 02

  And you forget, they forget to breathe kids.

• 34:33Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:33Speaker 02

  And they just, and as they pound.

• 34:34Speaker 03

  There is an, there's an age, I think it's probably around, it's like six to 12.

• 34:39Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 34:39Speaker 03

  Where you're either, you've had half your body weight in water. Or you're dying of dehydration. Like they're never, they're never adequately hydrated. So when they remember to drink, it is like a horse coming out of the desert. Like they, it is just full head under the water, panting, like, I gotta get more in. Or it's just, yeah, or there's just nothing. It's a great phase. It's a great phase to be in.

• 35:02Speaker 02

  I still like a head under the tap.

• 35:04Speaker 03

  I do.

• 35:04Speaker 02

  Really?

• 35:05Speaker 03

  During the night I do, yeah.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:08Speaker 03

  I, well, that's very fast and loose of you on it. Cause the reason I don't do the glass is because I'm like, what a waste of time the glass is. Cause it's like double handling.

• 35:15Speaker 02

  That's why the efficiency is what I like about it.

• 35:18Speaker 03

  Efficiency, yeah, cool.

• 35:19Speaker 02

  I like to, I like to keep a glass that's just my water glass that I know doesn't have to get washed again. And that can stay for like two or three days, then it goes back in the dishwasher.

• 35:29Speaker 03

  Are you, do you put lips on the tap and or do you go?

• 35:33Speaker 02

  No, no, no.

• 35:34Speaker 03

  From the stream.

• 35:35Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 35:36Speaker 03

  The kids.

• 35:36Speaker 04

  You don't do lips on the tap?

• 35:39Speaker 03

  I, yeah, sometimes as a rangefinder.

• 35:43Speaker 03

  But then when I'm washing my hands, I'll try and splash it back upwards, like up around the tap. Yeah, after a little while, I'd be like, well, I've been putting my lips on that. So I'll wash the germs off.

• 35:53Speaker 04

  I think.

• 35:54Speaker 03

  You can do lips on the tap.

• 35:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, but when people come around.

• 35:58Speaker 03

  No one's coming around to the kids bathroom.

• 36:00Speaker 02

  Oh, it's the kids bathroom.

• 36:01Speaker 03

  Well, that's what, that's the one I'm next to. So I'm just drinking, I'm just a little bit of lips on the tap.

• 36:05Speaker 04

  But especially for your hygiene as much as leaving your DNA behind, you don't know.

• 36:11Speaker 03

  What about my hygiene?

• 36:12Speaker 04

  Well, don't put your mouth on a tap.

• 36:16Speaker 03

  The only other person that's drinking from that tap is me. You can't get sick from your old germs.

• 36:21Speaker 04

  You got your glass hanging around for four days.

• 36:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, you get less sick if anything, they're dead. Most of them have dried out. Only the ones lucky enough to be near the rim have got enough moisture to live.

• 36:38Speaker 03

  Gentlemen, I think when one of us puts in a fair bit of effort on a segment, we should celebrate it. And I'm the first to admit, sometimes we've come up with an idea and then I'm like, oh, I should follow that up. This is one of those occasions where I had a thought and I just rolled up my sleeves and I got to work and I've investigated something. And it's not a blow something wide open, but it is, it has a high level of effort.

• 37:02Speaker 02

  Well done.

• 37:02Speaker 04

  Oh, thank you.

• 37:03Speaker 02

  We'll see.

• 37:04Speaker 03

  Oh, thank you, Jack. I'm happy to take it early. Well done. We'll lock in your response. Andy is reserving his rights to comment.

• 37:13Speaker 03

  If you were with the phrase dime a dozen.

• 37:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:16Speaker 03

  Yeah. So essentially 10 cents for 12.

• 37:19Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 37:19Speaker 03

  Would be a dime being the American 10 cents.

• 37:21Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 37:21Speaker 03

  So dime a dozen, 10 cents for 12 or 1.2 cents each.

• 37:26Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 37:26Speaker 03

  Is not as catchy a phrase, but yeah, you know, oh God, 1.2 cents each.

• 37:32Speaker 02

  Meaning they're common.

• 37:33Speaker 03

  Common.

• 37:34Speaker 02

  Meaning that there is, there's so much of it, there's abundance of it, hence a low price.

• 37:39Speaker 04

  Wouldn't it be under one? Wouldn't it be under one? We're getting 12 for 10 cents.

• 37:44Speaker 03

  That's what it is. I mean, it's a dime a dozen.

• 37:47Speaker 04

  I mean, it's more than what? It's got to be less than a cent.

• 37:50Speaker 02

  I think he's doing the math, saying if it was a dime a dozen, that would have.

• 37:53Speaker 03

  Oh, you're right. So you're point eight, point eight, something like that. You're right. Um, I hadn't done the maths that way.

• 37:58Speaker 04

  Well, you said you did all this extra homework, so I'm just. Well, you haven't heard the work. You've already given you, you've been well done, so you can't comment.

• 38:06Speaker 03

  Yeah. So it's 10 cents for 12. You're right, Jack. That's about a cent each with two, two bonus units.

• 38:14Speaker 03

  Throwing in for a good customer. And I actually, so the first bit of research I did was like, where did this actually come from? It's from the twenties and you know, the first, it was actually used initially for eggs, which really just shows you how far we've come in a hundred years. Cause you ain't getting 12 eggs for 10 cents these days. Getting 12 eggs for 10 bucks. And some, depending what.

• 38:35Speaker 02

  If you go to organic.

• 38:35Speaker 03

  Depending on how.

• 38:36Speaker 02

  For some reason thinks we have to go exclusively these.

• 38:39Speaker 04

  Oh, you, you can get even, you can get even more than 10 bucks for 12 pack, really.

• 38:43Speaker 03

  Yeah. Well, I mean, if you're buying them cracked and cooked at a cafe, you can spend hundreds of dollars on 12 eggs. No, yeah, yeah. Some eggs could be like 14, 15 dollars. It really depends on the state of the chicken it comes from. Not an advocate for the right at the bottom end, but I do appreciate everyone's got different.

• 38:59Speaker 02

  Precious.

• 39:00Speaker 03

  Yes. I mean, there can be some really unhappy chickens out there. But anyway, that's where it came from. 10 cents for 12 eggs. So I thought that's such an, we all, we use, you hear the saying these days. My quest was to go, is there anything these days?

• 39:14Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 39:15Speaker 03

  That's a dime a dozen.

• 39:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, it would be.

• 39:18Speaker 03

  Yeah. Well, what is it?

• 39:19Speaker 02

  Mushrooms or.

• 39:21Speaker 03

  No. What? 10 cents? 12 mushrooms for 10 cents?

• 39:25Speaker 02

  No, I don't think so. There'd be a seed. There'd be like a.

• 39:29Speaker 03

  I thought frozen peas.

• 39:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. So did you buy a pack?

• 39:35Speaker 03

  I bought a pack and I counted out the peas.

• 39:38Speaker 02

  And how many?

• 39:38Speaker 03

  To give you some maths. In the end, you get from the pack I had, the frozen peas I had, it was a 500 gram frozen peas pack from the Supermarket, 29 for 10 cents.

• 39:50Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 39:51Speaker 03

  So far more.

• 39:52Speaker 02

  Better than a dime a dozen.

• 39:54Speaker 03

  Far more, two, two, nearly, you know, between two and a half dozen.

• 39:57Speaker 02

  A dime.

• 39:58Speaker 03

  Per dime. So that's your frozen peas ratio. So I thought, okay, well, we need a bigger unit then. Cause I thought before I did this, maybe.

• 40:05Speaker 02

  Beans?

• 40:05Speaker 03

  You could go rice.

• 40:07Speaker 02

  You go.

• 40:07Speaker 03

  That's.

• 40:07Speaker 02

  No, rice, you're gonna get way more.

• 40:09Speaker 03

  And then I thought maybe sprinkles, but again, you're just gonna get tons.

• 40:12Speaker 02

  There's thousands of them.

• 40:13Speaker 03

  You need, grapes is too many. I think you're only getting, I didn't do grapes because I thought you're jumping up.

• 40:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:20Speaker 03

  You're jumping up a unit too high there. You're probably gonna get two for 10 cents. You need it to land in the magic 12.

• 40:26Speaker 02

  So did you go to beans, frozen beans? The frozen idea is a good one, I think. What about corn?

• 40:30Speaker 03

  Chickpeas.

• 40:31Speaker 02

  Chickpeas.

• 40:31Speaker 03

  That's good. Chickpeas. Counted them out.

• 40:35Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 40:36Speaker 03

  Counted out the chickpeas, did a little bit of rounding. Close.

• 40:42Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 40:43Speaker 03

  Close.

• 40:43Speaker 02

  What are we talking? How many do you get for a dozen?

• 40:45Speaker 03

  Well, for a dime, for 10 cents.

• 40:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:48Speaker 03

  You actually round for with rounding, it landed at 10 chickpeas for 10 cents. One cent a pea.

• 40:56Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 40:57Speaker 03

  One cent a chickpea.

• 40:58Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  Now I thought, okay, we're so close here. Could keep going.

• 41:02Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 41:03Speaker 03

  But I think, what else are we gonna find really that's gonna land?

• 41:06Speaker 02

  No, you did a big run off there.

• 41:08Speaker 03

  Hang on. And I thought, okay, what we really need to do here is how do we add a little bit of cost to this?

• 41:14Speaker 02

  What about a nap?

• 41:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, hang on, Lisa, hear me out.

• 41:19Speaker 03

  So what do you get these days? There's 10 cents for 12. By my maths, if you added a, a passata or a tomato sauce to the chickpeas, that would be about, um, that'd be a little bit more expensive.

• 41:34Speaker 02

  And what do you mean? Like, so if you put tomato sauce on top of a chickpea?

• 41:36Speaker 03

  Or get smaller chickpeas, smaller chickpeas. I, I bought it. I think they were quite large. Small chickpeas, I reckon you'd get a dime a dozen.

• 41:43Speaker 02

  Is this the end of this thing?

• 41:46Speaker 02

  It had so much promise because.

• 41:47Speaker 03

  I, Jack, I thought the peas were gonna do it. I was so shocked that there was so much. Well, I couldn't keep up. Zoe gave me, I've got all these peas and chickpeas out on the bench. And I kind of literally told her what I was doing and she was like, we have to get you working more than one day a week.

• 42:03Speaker 03

  I was like, this is the job. This is the job, babe. This is actually the most effort he's put in. This is huge. Peanuts is a good idea though, Andy. Peanuts, oh, do you want me to look at it this week? I'd love you to. Well, just pretend I didn't. I was like, no, you get 15.
