Transcript 0:02 Speaker 00 A Listener Production.
0:07 Speaker 01 Activate your internet, because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three, two...
0:17 Speaker 01 Sorry, it's still buffering. One.
0:23 Speaker 02 Ahoy to me foil, Hamish.
0:26 Speaker 03 Mmm, okay.
0:27 Speaker 02 Are we parts of a yoss?
0:29 Speaker 03 No.
0:30 Speaker 02 Damn.
0:31 Speaker 03 Ahoy to me epe, Jack.
0:33 Speaker 02 I know.
0:33 Speaker 04 Oh, we're swords.
0:35 Speaker 02 Body swords.
0:36 Speaker 04 Yes. Fencing swords.
0:37 Speaker 02 Fencing swords.
0:37 Speaker 04 We are fencing swords.
0:39 Speaker 02 The reason, Jack, you're probably the same, the reason you know an epe is it's always in crossword.
0:43 Speaker 04 Huge crossword word.
0:44 Speaker 02 Huge crossword word, yeah, it's obviously one of those, because it's like three vowels.
0:48 Speaker 04 Yeah.
0:49 Speaker 02 It's just, it's like, you know, always.
0:51 Speaker 04 It's probably like helpful to wedge into, a small word that wedges in well.
0:55 Speaker 02 And also another word that pops up a lot is the plural of lots of like, you know, eggs as in like mammals' eggs is over. Like V A instead of like ovum, that's like, that's a, that's a huge one. But I wouldn't have known epe if it wasn't for the New York Times crossword. It's always a good word to have, obviously.
1:13 Speaker 03 I am a saber.
1:15 Speaker 02 Saber, yeah.
1:15 Speaker 03 In this one, the foil, obviously the light flexible weapon, torso only if we're in battle for that during a fencing competition. Epe, a heavier, stiffer weapon, target area, entire body.
1:25 Speaker 02 Yep.
1:26 Speaker 03 Hit where you will.
1:26 Speaker 02 Yep.
1:27 Speaker 03 And then the saber is a light with a design for faster action.
1:31 Speaker 02 Is it?
1:31 Speaker 03 Um, everything above the waist is allowed and scores a point if you're using a saber during a fencing match, including arms and head.
1:39 Speaker 02 So is there any, God, fencing's fascinating, isn't it? I mean, I know we only care, look, there's 80% of Olympic sports you only care about when it comes around, but none more so than fencing. I mean, no one, you can't say you're following fencing too much.
1:53 Speaker 03 Well, a foil, if you're, if we were in the foil discipline, Ham, you would focus on precision.
1:58 Speaker 02 It's the poker.
1:59 Speaker 03 Strategy and timing.
2:01 Speaker 02 Yep.
2:01 Speaker 03 Which I don't necessarily think it's you.
2:04 Speaker 02 What's the one where you could win it all with one good hit?
2:08 Speaker 03 I think Saber. I think speed aggression and quick reactions. I think that's you.
2:12 Speaker 02 One Hail Mary. That would be the event for me.
2:15 Speaker 03 FA is patience and accuracy, which was Jack. I don't think that's Jack or you. And carefully crafted attacks.
2:23 Speaker 02 Yep.
2:23 Speaker 03 Now, I think you're both Saber guys.
2:25 Speaker 04 Anytime I've watched it, it all feels like the same one. I can't distinctly remember there being different swords. Do they all go for like five seconds?
2:33 Speaker 02 It always looks like a tie.
2:35 Speaker 04 Yeah, you can never tell who wins.
2:37 Speaker 02 It's like one second and they both look like they got each other.
2:41 Speaker 03 Am I right in saying in the Olympics though, it's only the foils? They don't have the different disciplines?
2:45 Speaker 02 All I know is like, because they're connected to a like, it feels a bit like the board game operation. Which if you touch the sides, a buzzer would go off. And that's, I think, the same technology they use where they, when they touch each other.
2:57 Speaker 03 Yep.
2:57 Speaker 02 It's who whose buzzer went off first.
2:59 Speaker 03 Yep.
2:59 Speaker 02 Which again, it shouldn't be sword fighting because they, it seems like they both get each other.
3:04 Speaker 03 On the most part, they both get each other.
3:06 Speaker 02 I know 95% of my sword fighting understanding comes from either Game of Thrones or Star Wars.
3:11 Speaker 03 Yes.
3:12 Speaker 02 And in those sports, whether it's lightsabers or broadswords, it's not really a big win if you both get each other at the same time. You know, it is a lose-lose. Really the goal is to get the, chop the other guy's head off whilst keeping yours on.
3:28 Speaker 03 On, yes.
3:29 Speaker 02 A double chop off, it's not as good, it's not as good as a win.
3:33 Speaker 03 But in fencing, it's all about did you get in first?
3:36 Speaker 02 Did you get in first? And then it's like, then you're invincible.
3:40 Speaker 02 You're invincible after that.
3:41 Speaker 03 Nikki, go to hamishnady.com to tell us what she's been up to.
3:45 Speaker 05 How are you boys? Nikki from Tasmania here. I was listening to your three things from last week's episode and I thought I nailed it right away because simple, complex and compound are actually also types of fractures. I'm a paramedic and I thought I would agree with you for you as fractures. Ando, I would make a compound fracture, also called an open fracture, because the bone breaks through the skin, creating an open wound. Ando is the only one I know with a history of an open wound, because he suffers from what we in the medical world call an IA, inferior asshole. Jack could be a complex fracture, but I would actually change him to another type of fracture, a green stick fracture, Yep. which is where the bone bends but doesn't break all the way through.
4:30 Speaker 05 This only happens in children who have softer and more flexible bones. This is appropriate for Jack because he's just a little boy. Haim can be a simple fracture, Oh. which is one straight line with two bone segments. This works for Haim because he's an easy, busy, fast and loose guy. See ya and make us happy with you.
4:51 Speaker 02 And also to you, and thank you for your work.
4:53 Speaker 03 Good, great assessment. Didn't have to bring up my bottom problems, but.
4:58 Speaker 02 I mean, you, that's on you, mate. You brought it up so openly when it was happening.
5:02 Speaker 03 Yeah.
5:03 Speaker 02 Graphically, some would argue.
5:04 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah.
5:05 Speaker 02 She fiercely graphically.
5:08 Speaker 03 Uh, Haim, you wanted to start the show.
5:10 Speaker 02 Well, something happened the other day in our household, which I, am I proud of this? I'm probably not proud of this, but I have made history. I've made family history, you know?
5:23 Speaker 02 Like, growing up, you never know when a classic family moment is gonna happen.
5:27 Speaker 03 Yes.
5:28 Speaker 02 And I think once happened that I've got a bad, a bad hunch will be part of the family folklore for a long time.
5:34 Speaker 03 Excellent. I didn't wonder this because there are certain moments.
5:38 Speaker 02 You didn't know. You don't know what, that's the day.
5:40 Speaker 03 The whole family remembers.
5:42 Speaker 02 Yep.
5:42 Speaker 03 One for me was I did a fluff or a fart on, on our family trip, because I'd been a little unwell, which is known in my family as the choker.
5:51 Speaker 02 Yep.
5:52 Speaker 03 To the point where mum was dry reaching.
5:54 Speaker 02 Yeah, wow.
5:54 Speaker 03 And dad had to pull over the camper van and everyone had to get out and we had to open all the doors.
6:00 Speaker 02 Funny you mention farts because mine is fart.
6:03 Speaker 02 I suppose when a fart, I suppose when a fart moment happens, everyone's like antenna goes on a bit to go, oh, this is fun to remember these ones.
6:12 Speaker 03 But with that, you've had poor farts, but this one, yeah, is when your, when mum's wanting to vomit and dad has to pull over on the highway.
6:22 Speaker 02 I did something that I think would rival the choker.
6:26 Speaker 02 In terms of, in terms of earning its spot in the fart hall of fame.
6:33 Speaker 02 I did a fart that woke the house up.
6:39 Speaker 03 Big house too. That is amazing.
6:43 Speaker 03 It's not a small property.
6:49 Speaker 02 I mean, and for your upcoming house, if someone did a fart that woke the house up, that would have to be herosh in the levels. And even then you're probably insulated. But so the layout of our house is master bedroom upstairs.
7:00 Speaker 03 Yes.
7:00 Speaker 02 Downstairs, two kids rooms and a spare bedroom. A lot of the time I'm in the spare bedroom, you know, for Rue, for the kids, there's just, I'm not uncommon. If you've got it, you use it just for a bit of sleep sanctuary.
7:12 Speaker 03 And, and so is a light sleeper. So she's gone early.
7:14 Speaker 02 A lot of reasons why I could often be downstairs. In this case, it was because Rue was a little bit sick and I'm like, all right, I'll go down and I'll be in the spare bedroom with Rue. So between the spare bedroom and Rue's bedroom is the, that levels bathroom.
7:29 Speaker 03 Were you in, sorry, were you staying with her or staying in the spare bedroom?
7:33 Speaker 02 I'm in the spare bedroom. I'm in the spare bedroom. Rue was in my bed.
7:36 Speaker 03 But there's a room in between yours and hers.
7:39 Speaker 02 Yep. So often in, we joke, if I'm spending a lot of time down there, my joke is like upstairs is the management level, but I'm not, that I'm allowed to visit, but I'm down with the employer. I'm down on the staff level. So I'm down on the employee's floor and just, you know, one of the gang downstairs. It's about 5:30 AM. So wake up time for the house, depending on the, what school day it is, is between 6:30 and 7 o'clock.
8:05 Speaker 03 Okay.
8:06 Speaker 02 So we're well before.
8:07 Speaker 03 Yeah.
8:07 Speaker 02 Movement. Anyway, I wake, I get up, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go next door. Rue's still asleep. I get fixed door to do a quick wee. And of course things are moving and as I'm doing the wee.
8:21 Speaker 04 Yeah.
8:22 Speaker 02 I feel the feeling, we all know.
8:23 Speaker 04 Yes.
8:23 Speaker 02 And I guess trying to remember, I'm just wearing underpants at the moment, which I think is pertinent. Cause it's like, if you're in, not that I would be in jeans at that time, like it would have been a bit more muffled, but you're pretty close.
8:34 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:35 Speaker 02 Your ass to the environment is just a thin layer of cotton, stopping the monstrosity that was about to come. We know on you, but there was, this was the calm before the storm, the week. And I guess I cocked a leg a little bit or something. I was quite uncomfortable, I remember at the time. But then what happened next, you know, your farts really.
8:55 Speaker 04 Yeah.
8:55 Speaker 02 They mostly lie within the normal distribution curve.
8:58 Speaker 04 Yes.
8:58 Speaker 02 So when one happens, that's way.
9:00 Speaker 04 Unbelievable.
9:00 Speaker 02 Five standard deviations to the right. Like, oh my God, what's going on? And so I knew it was a bit of an unusual one and it came out sharp and hard and loud.
9:10 Speaker 04 Wow.
9:10 Speaker 02 Now that.
9:11 Speaker 04 Long?
9:11 Speaker 02 Yes. And now that bathroom is tiled.
9:13 Speaker 04 Yes.
9:14 Speaker 02 So acoustically.
9:15 Speaker 04 Yeah.
9:15 Speaker 02 Acoustically, I was like, oh my God. Who knows what the sound waves were doing? Obviously you've got an open toilet bowl in there. And if you get an unlucky sound bounce, maybe it hits the toilet bowl, gets amplified like a radar dish. And now it's booming around the room.
9:28 Speaker 04 Yeah.
9:29 Speaker 02 That room, that bathroom is obviously right underneath the manager's bedroom.
9:33 Speaker 04 Yes.
9:33 Speaker 02 Like management level, right underneath CEO's office. So anyway, I, I'm like, oh my God, I come out of the bathroom. Still thinking, okay, Sunny's door opens and goes, what was that?
9:47 Speaker 02 I know.
9:51 Speaker 02 And so I'm like, is that a fart? I'm like, you know, go back to bed.
9:57 Speaker 02 You're dreaming, you're dreaming.
10:00 Speaker 02 Already beginning to go this, this bad PR about this fart. Go into it. And I'm like, oh, if he's awake, as you said, Zoe, very light.
10:07 Speaker 04 Yeah.
10:08 Speaker 02 Rue pops her head out of the fire room, she goes, dad, that was disgusting. And I'm like, it's okay. Everything's fine. It's over.
10:19 Speaker 04 What's amazing.
10:20 Speaker 02 Probably about six on the Richter scale.
10:21 Speaker 04 Enough to wake someone, but it's gone long enough for them to register also what it was.
10:26 Speaker 02 Come fully out of unconsciousness, into consciousness, still going. They know what's going on. So Rue's like, oh my God. I'm like, it's, you know, it's over guys. It's good. Let's get another hour's sleep. Then I hear footsteps on the stairs. I'm like, oh. Something's going on from the management level. Maybe it's, I hope it's not related to this. But then comes, he goes, was that a fart? Like, then Rue's eyes light, she goes, it was, it was dad. He's done a fart so big, he's woken everyone up.
10:56 Speaker 02 Sorry.
10:56 Speaker 03 Was there laughter then from everybody?
10:58 Speaker 02 Rue, this is the greatest thing that's ever happened. Cause she kinda loves me getting in trouble. It's one of her favorite things. So she's like, he's done, he's woken us up. I'm like, we can still go to bed. We've still got an hour, but the adrenaline's now pumping. Get, you know, get me the newspapers on the line. I've got the front page. She runs up to the kitchen. At night, we slide the kitchen doors closed for the cats. Right? You know, now she's on like a rampage trying to go. Yeah, trying to work out. Dad, dad's the worst, dad's the worst. Opens the doors, right? Opens the doors to the kitchen, goes, the cats are awake. I go, mate, they're always awake. They, they wake up. Yeah. When you open the doors, she goes, no, it looks like they just woke up.
11:43 Speaker 02 He's like, it's from the fart. Anyway, it's been about 10 days. Yeah. It's not going away.
11:50 Speaker 03 It's not going away forever.
11:51 Speaker 02 No, it's not going away.
11:51 Speaker 03 It's not going away forever.
11:52 Speaker 02 Cause now anytime anyone wants to just have a laugh. They'll go, hey, remember when dad did the fart? They woke the whole house up. Yeah, well, I've learned no more, can't go in that room. Not only am I not welcome on the management level. Yes. I now have to have designated farting areas. On the employee level because unfortunately the noise travels.
12:14 Speaker 03 The reverberation.
12:15 Speaker 02 Incredible.
12:21 Speaker 03 Got in trouble from Beck.
12:23 Speaker 02 Unfair.
12:24 Speaker 03 But I feel, I feel like.
12:26 Speaker 02 Straight on your side there.
12:27 Speaker 03 Thank you, appreciate that.
12:28 Speaker 02 You would never have done anything to warrant that.
12:30 Speaker 03 It's to do with the wedding and it was something I said in a passing to a, to, I didn't even realise I was being interviewed. But to a passing media journalist.
12:38 Speaker 02 When, how?
12:39 Speaker 03 Yeah, I mean, this shows how much people read the paper, I reckon as well. But two weeks ago.
12:43 Speaker 02 It was a newspaper thing.
12:45 Speaker 03 Newspaper article.
12:47 Speaker 03 They, they were asking about, I think the comment was from her, you know, are you excited about the wedding? I say, yes, you know, like if you've found you forever. And I was like, oh, look, if Beck found someone better than me along the journey, I'd never want to have to have her lock into me, you know, she's welcome to upgrade at any time.
13:04 Speaker 02 Yep.
13:04 Speaker 03 Yada, yada, yada. Headline, Andy Lee reveals he won't say forever in wedding vows.
13:11 Speaker 02 Have they played the game before? And you didn't even know it was an interview?
13:16 Speaker 03 No, so that it's just, it was just a, oh, wow. Good, good, good.
13:21 Speaker 02 What paper?
13:22 Speaker 03 Uh, the usual one.
13:25 Speaker 02 You know, the one. Small one or the big one?
13:27 Speaker 03 The big one.
13:27 Speaker 02 No, the big one.
13:28 Speaker 03 The big one. Yeah.
13:29 Speaker 02 And what's the small one?
13:30 Speaker 03 The small, sorry.
13:33 Speaker 02 Cause the big one is owned by Channel Nine, not that you can expect any favors, but you could certainly hope for.
13:40 Speaker 03 But, you know, it happened and it made us think, hey, we should play the salacious headlines a game again.
13:46 Speaker 02 Our favorite.
13:46 Speaker 03 People have been calling for it at homeyshady.com. So let's jump into it.
13:51 Speaker 02 Oh, that's lovely. Nothing wrong with that. That's perfect.
13:54 Speaker 03 No, it's not.
13:54 Speaker 02 Wait a second, there is something wrong with that salacious headline. We love this game. So Andy sends the homework around and goes, hey, we're going to do a salacious headline game. And we have to think of something in our life.
14:05 Speaker 03 Some good news.
14:05 Speaker 02 Some good news that, or just something that could not possibly be cast in a negative way. But then it's our job, the other two's job as journalists to find the clickbait in it.
14:18 Speaker 03 Yes. Yep. Uh, who do you want to start with first?
14:21 Speaker 02 Do it to me.
14:21 Speaker 03 Yep.
14:22 Speaker 02 Let's start with you, Ham. I can't stress this enough. I mean, it sounds made up, but this is a genuine thing that happened to me yesterday, literally yesterday. I helped an old lady across the street. That's it. It was Bondi Road in Sydney. Did she require help? She was going so slow. No, I saw her from the other side. She was crossing and it's a very, it's one of those, you know, sometimes you get those roads that if you're not crossing at the lights, you go, oh my God, will there ever be a break in traffic? Like the lights don't sync up, so both ways are clear. Sometimes I've spent like Yes. Full, full minutes, five, six minutes going.
15:00 Speaker 02 I might just live here. I might never be able to get back to my car. So it was there and I could see her coming from the other side of the road. She actually put her hand on my car and so I was gonna yell like, get your hands off my car.
15:10 Speaker 03 Hang on, she got out of the car?
15:11 Speaker 02 No, no, I was crossing back to my car.
15:13 Speaker 03 All right.
15:13 Speaker 02 And she, I didn't yell at her for touching my car, that's fine. She used it to help herself down and was peeking out into the traffic. And she was going so slow and I thought, this, this, this is gonna, this is gonna be bad. I said, stay there, I'm gonna help you across. And I, and then when there was a brake, I ran over, used a valuable brake in the traffic to then help her back, leaving me now back on the original side.
15:35 Speaker 03 Yes.
15:35 Speaker 02 Again, grabbed her arm.
15:36 Speaker 03 Did you do link arms like in the cartoons?
15:39 Speaker 02 And then more cars came along, but by that stage they saw what was happening. So they were slow, like waiting for ducklings to cross. And we got across and I said to her, well, you've cost me a big time here because now I have to wait for another break.
15:53 Speaker 02 But anyway, that's, that's the headline is genuinely helped an old lady.
15:56 Speaker 03 That's not my headline.
15:59 Speaker 03 Jacko, do you, I think we're both probably gonna go a similar path. Do you wanna go first? Okay, here we go. Okay, good luck.
16:05 Speaker 02 What can you do with this?
16:08 Speaker 00 Salacious headline, salacious headline in three, two, one.
16:14 Speaker 03 Hamish Blake involved in crime with elderly lady.
16:18 Speaker 02 Oh, because we're jaywalking.
16:19 Speaker 03 Jaywalking. In the article, it will say jaywalking.
16:26 Speaker 02 Well, that's good.
16:26 Speaker 03 Not bad. I went down a.
16:28 Speaker 02 She made me.
16:28 Speaker 03 I went down a different path.
16:32 Speaker 00 Salacious headline, salacious headline in three, two, one.
16:39 Speaker 03 What will Zoe think? Question mark. Media personality Hamish Blake caught in public holding hands with older woman.
16:46 Speaker 02 Oh, good, good. Zoe is an older woman actually to me. It could be another older woman.
16:54 Speaker 03 Just to stick the boot in a little bit more in the headline. I would click on that if you were caught in.
16:58 Speaker 02 I'd click on it too. And I, and I was there.
17:03 Speaker 03 All right, I've got, I've got some good news for you, the, the two of you.
17:06 Speaker 02 Go ahead.
17:07 Speaker 03 Old Mate's Pub.
17:09 Speaker 02 Yep.
17:09 Speaker 03 Hamish and Ryan others pub in New York City.
17:12 Speaker 02 Hmm.
17:12 Speaker 03 We've just bought the lot next door, leased a lot next door to build a beer garden. So suddenly we're going to have a bigger beer garden. It should be opening this week or the next. So a chance for people to drink in the sun.
17:24 Speaker 02 Even though I am a, a partner in Old Mate's, I'm just going to pretend I'm not for this.
17:30 Speaker 02 Going to pretend it's all you.
17:31 Speaker 03 That is actually true. Cause contractually you're not allowed to besmirch Old Mate's, but we'll give you a leave part.
17:37 Speaker 02 I'm out.
17:37 Speaker 03 Okay.
17:38 Speaker 02 I'm out.
17:38 Speaker 03 Is that really in the, in a contract you all sign?
17:40 Speaker 02 Is it?
17:40 Speaker 03 You can't besmirch. Yeah, that's generally a rule from.
17:43 Speaker 02 Not that I want to besmirch it, it's a great pub.
17:45 Speaker 03 It's just a funny thing to put in the contract. Well, I think it's pretty standard in most contracts when you invest in.
17:50 Speaker 02 Can't bring it in to disrepute.
17:52 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah. Uh, anyway.
17:54 Speaker 02 I'd be so surprised if anyone said I'm out because I was hoping to besmirch quite hard.
17:59 Speaker 03 Okay. I'm just going to start home first.
18:01 Speaker 02 Okay.
18:01 Speaker 03 Okay.
18:02 Speaker 02 Good luck.
18:03 Speaker 00 Salacious headline, salacious headline in three, two, one.
18:10 Speaker 03 The world is not enough. After building house that encompasses most of Melbourne, Lee begins takeover of Manhattan.
18:17 Speaker 02 Yeah, I'm clicking that.
18:23 Speaker 02 Yes. And I like it. Framed you as a Bond villain.
18:28 Speaker 03 Jack, have you got one in, in the, in the barrel?
18:30 Speaker 02 Here we go.
18:39 Speaker 03 Hamish and Andy perpetuate stereotype of Australians as beer guzzling oafs with expansion of Australian pub in New York.
18:50 Speaker 03 I like that one.
18:50 Speaker 02 We do though. We are giving more space to guzzle. The guzzle garden.
18:56 Speaker 03 Uh, very good. Jack, what's yours?
18:59 Speaker 04 My good news is the other day I was shaking out a guitar pick from the center of my acoustic guitar.
19:05 Speaker 03 I know when that happens, you, yeah, it's.
19:08 Speaker 04 You lose one in there and then it rattles around.
19:10 Speaker 03 And you're like, oh, it's, it's, doesn't come out as quickly as you'd hope.
19:13 Speaker 04 There's a knack to it. And as my pick came out, so did $250 in cash of the hole, out of the hole of my guitar.
19:21 Speaker 03 50s, 20?
19:22 Speaker 04 50s. I'm still.
19:24 Speaker 03 What was it doing in there?
19:25 Speaker 04 I still don't know. My best guess is either last year I did live shows with Nikki Glaser when she toured Australia.
19:34 Speaker 03 Yeah.
19:35 Speaker 04 Maybe they put like, as an American gesture, they like tipped me and put the money in.
19:40 Speaker 03 Instead of handing it to you, they hid it.
19:42 Speaker 04 They put it in the guitar.
19:43 Speaker 03 Yeah.
19:44 Speaker 04 I don't know, because I had my guitar, like I was doing songs. That's the last time like I would have used it in public. So maybe, or maybe an audience member tipped me anonymously, or Gordy maybe stole money from us as a four year old and has gone around the house.
20:00 Speaker 03 Hidden it somewhere.
20:01 Speaker 04 And put it in the hole, because it's just fun to put stuff in the hole.
20:04 Speaker 02 He's asking me if he found any Bitcoin passwords.
20:09 Speaker 03 Okay. So Gordy would, what, out of your wallet or something?
20:13 Speaker 04 Possibly.
20:13 Speaker 03 $250. Okay.
20:15 Speaker 04 Yeah. A couple of years ago, when we sold our family car, the guy goes to me, I'll take a thousand dollars off and I'll pay in cash. And somewhere in my head, I was like, oh, you want cash? Cash is king. So I said, yes. And then I had $14,000 worth of cash. And I actually don't know if it benefited me in any way. Cause when I had the cash, I was like, well, this is just a nuisance. Cause now we gotta like hide it in the house.
20:38 Speaker 03 Yeah.
20:39 Speaker 04 He could have pulled it out of the.
20:41 Speaker 03 Okay. I like the fact that he doesn't know where the money's from.
20:43 Speaker 02 Yeah. And that Jack has got 14 grand in cash.
20:47 Speaker 04 So that is, I promise you it's gone. I'm not just saying that so you don't rob me, but it is gone.
20:54 Speaker 03 I'll go first.
20:55 Speaker 02 Here we go.
21:04 Speaker 03 I'm going with another quote at the top. It was my son.
21:09 Speaker 03 Podcast star and social media influencer Jack Post denies any connection to potential drug money stashed in Qatar.
21:18 Speaker 02 That's what you think of when you see cash these days.
21:20 Speaker 03 And you don't know where it's from.
21:21 Speaker 04 Like, don't know where it's from, I'd be very surprised if he's involved in anything nefarious at his age.
21:27 Speaker 02 Very surprised, but not impossible. Okay.
21:30 Speaker 03 Here we go.
21:31 Speaker 02 Uh, yeah, I think I got it.
21:39 Speaker 02 So just before I do mine, do you remember the debacle, the $250 caught my eye, just in relation to a recent drum kit?
21:47 Speaker 03 Oh, yes.
21:48 Speaker 02 Removal.
21:49 Speaker 03 Yeah.
21:50 Speaker 02 Fuel bill. No fuel money lie exposed. King Weasel caught after exact amount owed to H Blake found in Qatar. $250 rained freely from its hiding spot, highlighting Jack's lie that he was quote unquote, "too poor to pay."
22:10 Speaker 03 We got the whole article.
22:10 Speaker 04 Too long for a headline, disqualified.
22:13 Speaker 02 King Weasel, exact amount, the exact amount you owe me in fuel. Jack, because you said I've got store credit at your house, could I please exchange my store credit for that $250?
22:21 Speaker 03 I don't think you can exchange store credit for cash, can you, Andy?
22:25 Speaker 02 It's one of the items at your house. That's how store credit works. You're allowed to go around and pick the thing you want to the value of $250.
22:40 Speaker 03 Played golf yesterday.
22:42 Speaker 02 Yep.
22:42 Speaker 03 And, um, Jacko was best on ground.
22:45 Speaker 02 We did play, yes, we, we all had a great day out and Jack was, I mean, if keeping score is the thing you do when you just go out for a nice day with your friends, then well done, Jack.
22:55 Speaker 03 Oh, it seemed to be important to you halfway through the round and then less so towards the end.
23:01 Speaker 02 Playing with any second pair of clubs, which you know full well were completely alien in my hands.
23:07 Speaker 03 We've got a nice system. Ham will come down, go out and play golf. You borrow my brother's clubs, my old set.
23:14 Speaker 02 Is that why they feel so weird?
23:16 Speaker 03 And that's been a nice little thing that we do.
23:18 Speaker 02 That's been nice.
23:19 Speaker 03 They seem to be the nice specs. You've enjoyed borrowing the clubs?
23:23 Speaker 02 Well, I can't say they've, I've tried my hardest with them, but I can't say they've exactly held up the end of the bargain.
23:31 Speaker 03 Yep. So the last time we did this was December.
23:34 Speaker 02 Yeah.
23:35 Speaker 03 And then I had to go back around and grab the clubs from Cammy.
23:38 Speaker 02 Yeah, right. I thought these were just a spare set you had at your house.
23:42 Speaker 03 No, no.
23:43 Speaker 02 I didn't know these are Cam's clubs.
23:44 Speaker 03 These are Cam's clubs.
23:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, right.
23:46 Speaker 03 And it was when Cam was grabbing the clubs for me and he didn't get to play as much as we do.
23:50 Speaker 02 Yep.
23:51 Speaker 03 In fact, hadn't played since you last used them.
23:53 Speaker 02 Maybe I should just.
23:54 Speaker 03 Yeah. And that's when Cam discovered a sandwich from November in the bag.
24:01 Speaker 02 A sandwich? Sorry, I thought you said a sand wedge.
24:06 Speaker 03 No.
24:07 Speaker 02 Very confused. This is a very golf specific confusion because that, a sand wedge is a golf club that isn't in that set.
24:14 Speaker 03 No.
24:15 Speaker 02 It's a 60 degree wedge, which I had to borrow yours on there yesterday. Jack, I was like, there was a sandwich in the bag?
24:20 Speaker 03 No, a sandwich, a chicken and avocado wrap.
24:25 Speaker 02 He found my present.
24:26 Speaker 03 He joins us now. Cam, oh, how do you, mate?
24:30 Speaker 06 Oh, good, eh?
24:31 Speaker 02 Oh, yes. Good match.
24:33 Speaker 03 Talk us through, because it ended a riddle for you and the family, didn't it? You guys have been trying to discover a smell and work it out in a new house you've bought for some time. Talk us through how that's been at the house.
24:48 Speaker 06 So, you know, we've moved to our house about six months ago and then I've just been setting up our office and getting rid of some chairs and stuff. And then I bought a new desk chair, which is sort of leathery or plethery sort of thing. And, yeah, there was a bit of a smell that sort of started to stink in the room and I thought it was maybe the chair. And so we aired that for a little bit. And then the smell sort of kept on wafting and then, yeah, I thought there might have been a dead possum in the wall underneath the house.
25:20 Speaker 02 Yeah.
25:20 Speaker 06 Which was, we're about to get some, um, some people to have a look at. And these been rolling with the air conditioning, all the windows open and the, and the heating on to try and air the place out.
25:30 Speaker 02 Quite the climate impact.
25:32 Speaker 06 Get to the bottom of it.
25:36 Speaker 03 So when I sent picking up the bag, Cam said, I yelled, I said, just check that there's some balls in there. And that's when you discovered a chicken and avocado wrap.
25:46 Speaker 02 Now, from memory, half a wrap?
25:49 Speaker 06 Yes, half a, yeah.
25:53 Speaker 06 It had actually turned to liquid by the time I pulled it out of the bag.
25:56 Speaker 02 They'll do that. They will do that with a few months in the summer heat.
26:01 Speaker 02 I vaguely remember, yeah, when we played in December, being going through that wrap and.
26:07 Speaker 03 They're quite big.
26:08 Speaker 02 They're big and it was a bit heavy on the mayo and it was sort of squirting everywhere. And I thought, this isn't helping, it's a bit slippery. I have enough, hard enough time with your clubs as it is. I don't want slippery hands. So yes, I do have a vague memory of saving, of shelving that.
26:21 Speaker 03 Yes. Hmm. So it's been a bit of a catastrophe for Cammy and his family. Yep. And I was chatting to Cam about saying, thanks, thanks for cleaning out the bag. Thanks for bringing it over. It seemed to me only fair that Cam should get 20 minutes to hide a sandwich in your house as a chance to kind of make good.
26:43 Speaker 06 Or a redemption.
26:45 Speaker 02 But I know it's in there. Do I get to know when it's in there?
26:47 Speaker 03 Yes, we will, Cam and I will fly up to Sydney.
26:49 Speaker 02 Yeah, bearing in mind, I, I, I live with two people and hint, Zoe's not one of them, who do play this game with me a lot, even not knowing about the crimes I've committed to Si Cam. And they like to play it with apples that have had two bites out of them. Or a cup of mango pieces.
27:08 Speaker 02 And I play, I, I play this game a lot with a half drunk up and go. But often is hidden between the couch cushions.
27:16 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah.
27:16 Speaker 02 Yeah. People like it as a complete breakfast, but it can go off if left, left unattended.
27:22 Speaker 03 We were just asking. That, do you think that'd be?
27:24 Speaker 02 That is fair, but Cam, bearing in mind too, that you've got to look, I think what I was thinking, you know how in some, there are in different religions and I don't want to get this incorrect here, but you know, you often see like a shrine and there'll be offerings, sort of like fruit and flowers and stuff. I think it was an offering to the golf gods to go, hey, you're obviously angry at me. I've obviously done something to displease you. What if I fed you half a wrap?
27:50 Speaker 02 I left it in here and would that please the gods? And then would they smile more fondly upon me? Stop three putting.
27:57 Speaker 03 How about this then? Cam, when Cam next goes and plays?
28:00 Speaker 02 Yep.
28:00 Speaker 03 If he has a good round, the offering has worked and he doesn't get to fly to your house to put a sandwich in there. Uh, if he has a poor round, the offering hasn't worked and then we can organise travel.
28:12 Speaker 02 I, I like this, but I'm going to go one, I'm going to go and offer one fairer.
28:17 Speaker 03 Okay.
28:17 Speaker 02 Don't tell me when the sandwich is there. I think that has to be the fairest.
28:22 Speaker 03 Well, it's already an advantage to you, Ham, because Cam didn't know what he was dealing with. Whereas soon as you smell the smell, you can go, that's a sandwich.
28:29 Speaker 06 Well, something's there. Yeah.
28:31 Speaker 03 Okay. So if I get in touch with, well, Zoe's not going to want a sandwich in the house. I'll work out how to do it.
28:37 Speaker 02 This is my, this is my offering to you. Run it past her and if she's cool with it.
28:42 Speaker 02 Yeah, no worries guys. Yeah. Come and, come and leave a raw, just come and leave a fish somewhere in the house. If Zoe's cool with it.
28:50 Speaker 02 No, let's see, let's see. Sorry, Cammer. Sorry. Thank you for the clubs. Thank you for the clubs. Something wrong, something's a bit wrong with your driver.
29:02 Speaker 03 They keep flooding in and so we continue our commitment, Ham, to be a source of moves that are powerful, that give you a heightened advantage in social situations. Let's jump into them.
29:17 Speaker 03 I'll kick it off with Harry.
29:18 Speaker 02 Can I actually, before we hit off, I thought of one the other night.
29:21 Speaker 03 Oh, have you tried it yet?
29:23 Speaker 02 Well, no, because it would have meant not marriage problems, but certainly less of a warm reception than I would hope for at the end of a long day. Zoe and I were at a, or like a charity night. And there's a lot of seeing people who you might have met once a long time.
29:41 Speaker 03 Yes.
29:41 Speaker 02 You know, name stuff.
29:43 Speaker 03 Who then go, we should catch up.
29:44 Speaker 02 Yeah. And so you know, the, but you know, the move, like, let's say I'm talking to you, Jack, Andy comes over and I know I've met Andy before, but I can't remember his name. So I'll go, oh, sorry, this is Jack. Have you met Jack?
29:57 Speaker 03 Yes.
29:58 Speaker 02 And I'll just hope in that gap that you two introduce.
30:01 Speaker 03 And I go, Andy.
30:02 Speaker 02 Yeah.
30:02 Speaker 03 And then you go, and you try and say Andy just out as quick as you can.
30:06 Speaker 02 And you go, yeah, Andy, sorry, I thought you met Jack. And you just, usually we all sort of know what's going on. We just pretend that the introducer has forgotten that this is a two names. No, you know, we go, have you met my wife? Have you met Zoe before? Like, oh, you know, I'm Carolyn. Oh, yeah, great. It's like, and yes, well, I can't remember. Do we do two names here or one?
30:27 Speaker 02 You never pull it off, but it's always worth a try. Zoe did that to me. She's like, oh, and do you know my husband, Hamish? And, you know, we did it and exchanged names. But I said to her later, I was like, what would you have done if I went, sorry, I think my wife's forgotten your name. I'm Hamish.
30:45 Speaker 03 That would have worked. Otherwise, I don't think so, but honey, but what's his name?
30:51 Speaker 02 I was like, next time that happens, Andy. And you're like, have you met Hamish? I think Andy's forgotten your name. I'm Hamish. Good to meet you. And I then must remember that person's name because you will get me back on them.
31:03 Speaker 03 Well, he's got a much better chance of getting you than the other way around.
31:07 Speaker 03 Jumping into Harry's, hit us at hamishandy.com if you have any power moves. I'm, he says, I am in a job where I'm required to send PDF scans of completed checklist to our main office. I know the company doesn't have the full Adobe Acrobat suite with the rotation function. So when I scan the checklist, I ensure they're upside down. So when they receive them, they're going to have to turn their heads upside down or the device they're looking at upside down to read the checklist.
31:38 Speaker 02 I mean, love, lovers.
31:42 Speaker 02 I wasn't aware that rotate would be such an expensive feature for Adobe.
31:47 Speaker 03 I didn't think, yeah, I mean.
31:49 Speaker 02 What is that?
31:50 Speaker 03 You'd assume that.
31:51 Speaker 02 Your phone does it for free.
31:52 Speaker 03 Most entry level things would be.
31:54 Speaker 02 Good on him for knowing that that's a feature. All mine today, I've got a bit of a theme, but they all tickled my fancy. They're all kind of meeting related, work meeting. Comes from Matt. Howie boys, quick corporate power move. When you need to float a new idea in a meeting, caveat it with now I've spoken to many of you privately.
32:15 Speaker 02 And consensus is this is a good idea.
32:22 Speaker 02 Too far power leaves everyone feeling like they weren't important enough to be consulted. And that going against the idea would be controversial. Really good.
32:31 Speaker 03 Really good. I had one during the week where Jane, who's Darcy's wife.
32:36 Speaker 02 Of course, provides us with the Darcy under the microscope fodder.
32:38 Speaker 03 Yes, I'm sure at a meeting and I asked her a direct question and then realised immediately she didn't know the answer. And she, she did this, she goes, well, you know what? I don't want to step on Tom's toes on this one. So Tom, can you answer this? And then Tom's looking at me going, I have no idea what she's talking about, but it was a sweet power move.
32:57 Speaker 02 Not stepped on.
32:59 Speaker 03 This one came from Ben. Power move. Simple one. For those who know someone or have a friend that rides a motorbike. Went around others, call it a motor bicycle.
33:16 Speaker 03 Technically correct, but way less cool. Still riding that motor bicycle?
33:21 Speaker 02 It makes it sound like the before e-bikes. You'd occasionally have one person in the neighbourhood and put like a lawnmower engine on their bicycle. This comes from James. Power move in the workplace. When wrapping up a Zoom call, pick someone at random and ask them to quote, give the final words.
33:43 Speaker 02 I get bonus points if their participation in the discussion was low.
33:47 Speaker 03 Pierre writes this, ahoy. I think you cotton on where Pierre's going with this, but I think it's a great one. Simple power move here when you're walking with another person up multiple flights of stairs or hiking a steep hill.
34:04 Speaker 02 Okay.
34:05 Speaker 03 Just before you start the climb, ask the target an open ended question about their life or work. Then continue to ask small questions while they do all the talking.
34:18 Speaker 03 While they have to answer, make sure you try and breathe as smooth as possible.
34:27 Speaker 02 Giving the impression they are unfit. Jamie.
34:31 Speaker 06 Yep.
34:32 Speaker 02 Um, ahoy boys, mucho gusto, mucho gusto to you, Jamie.
34:34 Speaker 06 Yes.
34:35 Speaker 02 Power move, a move, a power move for you in a corporate environment. The higher the position in the company, the better. When attending an important meeting, offer to print out any required copies for the rest of the attendees.
34:49 Speaker 02 Pick your target who you want to power move. Print one copy out in A3 and wait for the meeting to start before handing that copy to the target. When it comes time to reference the printout, everyone in the room has normal A4 sized copy. But the target is left holding a giant copy as no opportunity to carry on.
35:08 Speaker 03 I quite like that.
35:10 Speaker 02 It's good.
35:10 Speaker 03 Because I'd be sitting there going, um, he must have bad eyesight. He has requested a bigger print.
35:15 Speaker 02 Why doesn't he have the big one? Because yeah, big, big print is for kids.
35:20 Speaker 03 Yes, or.
35:21 Speaker 02 Kindergarteners.
35:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, or people that have vision impaired.
35:25 Speaker 02 I mean, you shouldn't laugh, but then it's probably coming for all of us. But when you see someone with the big font on their phone.
35:30 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah.
35:30 Speaker 02 It's not a power move to have it.
35:34 Speaker 02 You.
35:40 Speaker 02 Gentlemen, wanna update you on an investigation by which I mean, inform you I'm launching it.
35:47 Speaker 03 You have done no work yet.
35:49 Speaker 02 Andy, I don't like your tone. May I start by saying that?
35:53 Speaker 03 Yes.
35:54 Speaker 02 But you're correct.
35:55 Speaker 03 Yes.
35:55 Speaker 02 I have done, well, I have done precursory work, but then I thought I'm gonna bring this to you guys because I.
36:02 Speaker 03 For a joint investigation.
36:03 Speaker 02 A three-way investigation.
36:05 Speaker 03 Right.
36:05 Speaker 02 Because it refers to something that I remember from primary school. We all went to primary school in Victoria. So, and it's only since living in Sydney for the last couple of years, and I raised this a couple of days ago, but it occurs to me that like I haven't found anyone in New South Wales that had this experience, right? And, and there are New South Wales, Victoria differences. Like, we would have played tiggy growing up. That's just like.
36:32 Speaker 03 I don't play tiggy.
36:33 Speaker 02 Tip.
36:34 Speaker 03 Tip.
36:34 Speaker 02 Yuck. Is the, yeah, wrong.
36:36 Speaker 03 Yeah.
36:37 Speaker 02 Wrong.
36:38 Speaker 03 No, that's not right. Game of tip.
36:41 Speaker 02 Yeah. Here's my question to you. Do you guys remember playing bat tennis at primary school?
36:49 Speaker 03 Yes.
36:50 Speaker 02 What's your, my recollection of bat tennis? Cause the other day I was talking to someone that's like into paddle, which is big now, and there's pickleball and.
36:57 Speaker 03 It's just very small version of paddle is bat tennis.
37:00 Speaker 02 Well, pickleball is huge. Like it's sweep in America, it's sweep in the world. It's a fun sport. But I go, hang on, I think we played this at primary school.
37:09 Speaker 03 Yep.
37:09 Speaker 02 And why did it die out? We had bat tennis, which was with a tennis ball, which is not the same as pickleball, but with a tennis ball and the bat that you would use for totem tennis, which is the tennis ball on a stick.
37:23 Speaker 03 Yep.
37:23 Speaker 02 That swings around.
37:25 Speaker 03 Ours were even less advanced than that, our bats.
37:27 Speaker 04 Ours were just wooden planks.
37:29 Speaker 02 No, yeah. See, we used these bats at school and they had them at school. Like, so it looked like a small plastic tennis racket with strings.
37:36 Speaker 03 Yeah, I know that.
37:37 Speaker 02 Plastic strings.
37:38 Speaker 03 I know that one.
37:39 Speaker 02 Yeah, it was like a mould.
37:40 Speaker 03 Some power out of that.
37:40 Speaker 02 You get some power out of it.
37:42 Speaker 03 Ours was a plastic, like, there was no crosses in it, so there was no, there was no bend in it. Literally a paddle. It was rectangular, kind of thing that you would put a pizza on.
37:54 Speaker 02 Yeah.
37:54 Speaker 03 Um, and to take, yeah, to take out, to serve to people.
37:57 Speaker 02 Yeah.
37:57 Speaker 04 Yeah, ours was like that, except it would. Ours was like a chopping board.
38:01 Speaker 02 Okay.
38:01 Speaker 04 Yeah.
38:02 Speaker 02 All right.
38:02 Speaker 04 Thin chopping board.
38:03 Speaker 02 No, it sounds like a bit of a must be nice at my primary school, but I mean, it was a public school. The courts were on a slope.
38:09 Speaker 03 Hmm.
38:10 Speaker 02 Um, like all courts at public schools. I kind of think sometimes that's the public, private school divide. So you're certainly a primary school.
38:17 Speaker 03 Yeah.
38:17 Speaker 02 It's like flat ground because it obviously costs so much to level a court.
38:21 Speaker 03 Yeah.
38:21 Speaker 02 All our basketball court was on a huge hill.
38:24 Speaker 03 Yeah.
38:24 Speaker 02 At primary school. And I can't remember if the goals went in perpendicular to the ground. So the goals were also leaning back or if they went sort of straight up and down.
38:33 Speaker 03 No, mine was straight down.
38:34 Speaker 02 As the crow flies. So at one end, it was way higher to the ring and at the other end going downhill on the court. It was like lower to the ring.
38:40 Speaker 03 We had the same, the footy field.
38:42 Speaker 02 Yep.
38:42 Speaker 03 Um, and it's natural to have some kind of.
38:45 Speaker 02 Contour.
38:46 Speaker 03 Contour, but this was so drastic that you would say at, you know, the end of the half, great, we're going downhill next.
38:55 Speaker 02 We don't have to do uphill sprints into the goal.
38:58 Speaker 03 Which, which was definitely an advantage because any, any ball that spilled would just immediately end up going towards your goal.
39:05 Speaker 02 Same with basketball at our primary school. Like if a ball was loose.
39:08 Speaker 03 Yes.
39:09 Speaker 02 The chase was on. Obviously roll. By the time it got to the other goal, it was going at like 50 Ks. And there was still like heaps of playground left that sometimes someone would be gone for minutes, like chasing the ball in the basketball court. So I remember the bat tennis courts, they were next to the basketball courts. There was a bit of an up and downhill, but they look like mini tennis courts. They, we had them painted on the Ashfeld.
39:32 Speaker 03 They're slightly smaller though than a paddle tennis court.
39:37 Speaker 02 Oh yeah, much smaller. So I would say even probably smaller than what pickleball courts are now. So, but the interior was four square. And then it just kind of had another two rectangles on the end, like down to the service line.
39:49 Speaker 03 Yep, like, like a tennis court.
39:50 Speaker 02 And we would play over a plank of wood, which looked specially made. They were kept, the planks of wood were kept in the gym.
39:56 Speaker 03 Yep.
39:56 Speaker 02 And when it was bat tennis time of the year.
39:59 Speaker 03 Yeah.
39:59 Speaker 02 We would bring the planks out and they would have special holders.
40:02 Speaker 03 Yes.
40:02 Speaker 02 And so the, the net was like knee height.
40:05 Speaker 03 Yep.
40:05 Speaker 02 And it essentially was pickleball.
40:08 Speaker 03 Yes.
40:09 Speaker 02 And I'm like, pickleball is now a global phenomenon. Like there are leagues and stuff in America and
40:14 Speaker 03 Yeah.
40:15 Speaker 02 everyone's going nuts for it. And I was just like, we had this. We were on like, I feel like in the eighties, in the eighties, certainly Melbourne based, it seems, primary schools had the chance.
40:27 Speaker 04 So they didn't have it across the country, bat tennis.
40:29 Speaker 02 And then no one knows I'm talking about in New South Wales.
40:31 Speaker 04 Wow, I thought it was universal for Australian kids.
40:34 Speaker 02 Making the point, we were talking about pickleball and paddle and stuff. And I'm like, isn't it crazy that bat tennis kind of was this in the eighties? And we didn't, no one in Australia thought to monetize it.
40:43 Speaker 03 Yeah.
40:44 Speaker 02 And it was like, what are you talking about? And every time I try and explain bat tennis, they think I mean totem tennis. I'm like, no, no.
40:50 Speaker 04 Not a singular pole?
40:51 Speaker 02 It was a real.
40:52 Speaker 04 It was a real sport.
40:54 Speaker 02 We had bat tennis tournaments at my primary school. It was a huge thing. Peter Tran, if I'm remembering correctly, apologies if I've got this wrong. I think he was a two time champ.
41:02 Speaker 03 Well, you, if you were good in class, you would get to pick your piece of sporting equipment first.
41:08 Speaker 02 Yep.
41:08 Speaker 03 Bat tennis, the bats and the access to the court were often picked first for recess or lunchtime.
41:14 Speaker 02 And we had on those rackets we had, it was, if you had your own, was a pretty big deal.
41:20 Speaker 03 Wow. No, we wouldn't even dream of that.
41:22 Speaker 02 That's how seriously our school took bat tennis.
41:23 Speaker 03 Yeah.
41:24 Speaker 02 Um, people would get them for Christmas and birthdays.
41:26 Speaker 03 So what's the investigation?
41:28 Speaker 02 I guess, I, I just felt like I was going crazy because people were like, we don't, I don't know this sport. Did anywhere else in the country, even when you Google it now, like the internet isn't quite, doesn't seem to know what you mean by bat tennis.
41:44 Speaker 04 True. I've never like been walking through a rebel sport and seen the bat tennis section.
41:48 Speaker 02 It died out as a sport, died out as a sport sometime be after 1992.
41:54 Speaker 03 Yes.
41:54 Speaker 02 It just died.
41:55 Speaker 03 Yeah.
41:55 Speaker 02 So I guess my question is to the listeners, did you play bat tennis? This sport makes sense to you. Did Australia essentially miss a giant chance to monetize this sport? Could have been our biggest export.
42:07 Speaker 03 Yep.
42:08 Speaker 02 And we just let it slip and now pickleball is huge. And you know, probably America is claiming that. Did it exist anywhere outside of Melbourne or was it a weird Melbourne only sport? I mean, I'd love to get Mr. Bryant on. He was.
42:25 Speaker 04 He was very passionate about bat tennis.
42:27 Speaker 02 Cause I'm like.
42:28 Speaker 04 Well, you, that's part of your investigation.
42:29 Speaker 02 In my head, literally, I'm like, we'd be about the same age now, but he would have also aged.
42:36 Speaker 04 Get your emails in. I'm interested.
42:39 Speaker 02 Don't know his first name, but Mr. Bryant, you would be my big fish because he seemed the most passionate about it. He ran the tournament.
