Speaker 6 (0:02) A listener production. Speaker 2 (0:07) Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and Andy podcast starts in three, two... Sorry, still buffering. Speaker 6 (0:23) Ahoy to me service alafas, Hamish. Speaker 4 (0:27) Okay. Well, that is a service we aim to provide here in Latin. It Speaker 6 (0:33) could almost Speaker 4 (0:33) be Speaker 6 (0:33) our Latin motto. Let us serve you through laughter. Speaker 4 (0:37) Service alafas, the Hamish and Andy show. Speaker 6 (0:39) We should get blazers with a crest. Well, then this particular thing would be on the crest. Speaker 6 (0:47) Ahoy to me, dama dama, Jack. Wait, Speaker 5 (0:50) so they're things that make up a crest, like shield, banner? No, no, I'm just saying if we were putting Speaker 6 (0:55) a crest together, this thing would have to be our mascot now. Service a laugh. What Speaker 5 (1:01) am Speaker 6 (1:01) I, a dama dama? Yeah. Okay, play on. And I am a rusa unicolor. Speaker 4 (1:09) These sound like either... Are you saying words backwards? No. Okay. These are Speaker 6 (1:14) obviously the scientific names Speaker 4 (1:16) of Speaker 6 (1:17) three types of something. And they aren't native to Australia. Are Speaker 4 (1:24) they birds? Is the kookaburra the larvus? That's a Speaker 6 (1:27) great question. No, they are. Hamish, you and I, I know we didn't. We saw a few of these in search for its bigger brother in New Zealand. Bad, bad, bad clue. Are they deers? Yeah. We are the three main deer species of Australia. Hey, in the service, Elaphis is the red deer, one of Australia's best-known introduced deer. And you're a fallow deer, Jack. Widespread, but particularly in South Eastern Australia. Speaker 4 (1:57) And I'm a samba deer, the Roosa Unicolour. And what's the Sambadeers? Do they run faster, jump higher? Usually you are the best deer. The Speaker 6 (2:05) largest Speaker 4 (2:05) deer species in Australia. Oh, Speaker 6 (2:06) interesting, Speaker 4 (2:06) interesting. Speaker 6 (2:07) Large dark brown deer with a shaggy coat, prominent ears and large branching antlers on Speaker 4 (2:12) the males. It is a common, yeah, you're right. I mean, I don't think we'd have it as our crest. I don't think we'd have the deer as the crest of the show. Speaker 6 (2:19) No, but the service laughest is the red deer. That'd be the one we'd have to put on. Speaker 4 (2:24) Why? I mean, is it laugh? Is it spelt like laughter? It's, or Eliphas, but I was told. No, no, that's fine. I just, not the most hilarious animal. That's why I'm just saying I don't know why it gets laughter in its name because it's just not a funny animal. I Speaker 6 (2:37) was told to emphasise the laugh aspect of it through pronunciation, but I would have pronounced it Eliphas. Yeah, gotcha. My Speaker 4 (2:45) favourite part Speaker 6 (2:46) of this is anytime Speaker 4 (2:47) it is like a different language or Latin or something, your face. of the nerves that come in with having to pronounce the different language. Speaker 5 (2:57) He is deferring to the Latin, telling us that we're getting to the end of three things and there's not that many three things left. There is no way Speaker 4 (3:04) to get to the end of three things, Jack. You're mistaking this. Speaker 6 (3:09) Lies Speaker 4 (3:09) are out there. Speaker 6 (3:10) Maybe. Jack, Speaker 4 (3:12) you're just mistaking what is, and I think I speak for the listeners as well. a kind of a boring one. You're just mistaking this feeling of having a non-exciting one. There's no interest to this. We're just 3Ders. Speaker 6 (3:27) Twilight people were last week. I thought that was too easy. I just Speaker 5 (3:30) feel weird now we're setting a precedent where if we can just do things in other languages. Speaker 6 (3:36) I'll do it. Speaker 5 (3:37) I'll Speaker 6 (3:37) do no scientific names for the rest of the year. Thank you. Speaker 6 (3:44) Lies is so devastating. For a second there, she was like, Speaker 4 (3:47) oh, my God, I've got the rest of the year off, and now the rest of the year's just got harder. Speaker 5 (3:52) What she was thinking is like, oh, I'll just go back to the start of the list and we'll do it in Japanese, the start of the list, and we'll do it in Chinese, start of the list, do it in Greek. Well, it's scientific names, and it's not like it's different languages. Yeah, Speaker 4 (4:05) this isn't just, it's not in Klingon. We haven't just gone. Speaker 4 (4:09) He's three different names for chairs. But I think, no, I'm with you, Jack. It's a tough one. It's a tough one to get the three things right. It is. And you have to admit when one feels a little vanilla because you're looking for that little special something, aren't you? You want it to be achievable, but you want to maybe learn a little bit with it. Yeah, that had neither. Speaker 6 (4:27) But the ahoy also to Cassie and Jethro. They're in Australia. Went to hamishnandy.com, uploaded the audio. Very easy to do it there if you go there. Question mark. Tell us what they've been up to. Speaker 1 (4:39) Ahoy, Hamish and Andy. Speaker 5 (4:40) Ahoy, boys. Speaker 1 (4:41) It's Cassie and Jethro here. We got married six months ago. We thought we'd head out to celebrate our half anniversary. We were heading to Melbourne and listening to your podcast and we just heard you'd won the pizza challenge, Hamish. So we swung in to La Calabresi. to get ourselves some pizzas. It's Speaker 4 (4:56) five o'clock and the podcast episode was released yesterday and there's only six pizzas left. Hamish, thanks for shouting us dinner, mate. We really believe that you're the people's people and you got very lucky with that aniseed, by the way. I did. I Speaker 6 (5:12) did. Speaker 4 (5:13) I did. But that's the game. That's Speaker 6 (5:17) a Speaker 4 (5:17) pizza duel. Pizza for the people. All right, so I think they ran out in like a day. Speaker 6 (5:22) Just over 24 hours because, yeah, Speaker 4 (5:24) they'd have Speaker 6 (5:24) just been there and they were a day later, hey? Fantastic, Cam. What Speaker 3 (5:28) a triumph. And the fact that they've Speaker 6 (5:29) adjusted a road trip, which wouldn't have included heading out to the... Endeavour Hills. Yeah, the deep, deep east Speaker 4 (5:37) suburb of Endeavour Hills and they've got themselves a free pizza. I can't recommend it highly enough. The feeling you get knowing... Because it's different, like, you know... We all like doing things for other people. If you just donate money, it's like, okay, I helped out with a good cause. But to know you've donated pizza. It's tangible. It's just something. It just feels great. Yeah, I can understand that. It feels great. I don't know. I want to do it again. I don't know. Pad Thai for the people. Speaker 6 (6:03) We Speaker 4 (6:04) have Speaker 6 (6:04) a game show coming up. The Price is Correct, which is very exciting. Price is Correct featuring the tipping point. We don't know if we, because Speaker 4 (6:15) we still haven't figured out the format, will the game, will Speaker 6 (6:17) the whole game be the tipping point? Yes. Or will there still Speaker 4 (6:21) be the Price is Correct component where we're guessing prices? Yes. And then you don't want to get it wrong because you approach the tipping point. I don't mind having two. game shows merging as one. Oh, I don't mind that at all. Lots of shows have had it. I Speaker 6 (6:35) mean, Speaker 4 (6:35) Hey, Speaker 6 (6:35) Hey, It's Saturday had red faces in the middle of it. Speaker 4 (6:38) That's true. You can always Speaker 6 (6:40) have the strongest segment of a show within a show. And also I think it protects Speaker 4 (6:45) us a little bit because if we get prices right coming at us going. hey, that's our show, be like, what are you talking about? A, we'd change the name to Price is Correct, and B, Speaker 6 (6:55) where's your pool? Speaker 4 (6:56) Yeah, where's your pool? Speaker 3 (6:57) And if we get Speaker 4 (6:58) Man O' Man, who I feel like we do need to constantly remind people what Man O' Man is, game show from the 90s that featured pushing hunks into a pool. Yes. The pool still exists. Somehow it's never been used since that show and we're going to get access to Speaker 6 (7:11) it. Speaker 4 (7:11) Used ones by Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage has been in Speaker 6 (7:14) the pool. Speaker 4 (7:14) Yes. Which is awesome. Yeah. If Man O' Man comes in and goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, boys. out of respect to the industry, never touch that pool again because that's our pool. Yeah. We're like, what are you talking about? Nick Cage. His price is correct. Oh, Speaker 3 (7:26) yeah, Speaker 4 (7:26) sorry. Speaker 3 (7:27) So we can really play off everyone. That's nice. And then if the Speaker 4 (7:31) host of The Tipping Point, which I believe is Andy. Todd Woodbridge. Yep, great. If he comes at us and goes. Boys, what am I hearing about the tip-in point? What are you talking about? Speaker 3 (7:40) It's a Speaker 4 (7:40) pool-based game. It's more Man O' Man. Man O' Man goes, I heard that. Private Speaker 6 (7:45) conversation with a Speaker 4 (7:47) woody. Speaker 6 (7:47) Not really. In the pool you go. It just covers it. By that time the show's done. And it's a one-off game show. Hayim rings me during the week, Jack, and goes, you know what? If any other radio show in the world had $75,000 of giveaways, they would be pumping. Oh, my God. That's Speaker 5 (8:14) a Speaker 6 (8:14) huge price for radio. Particularly these days. They would be promoting the heck out of it and there'd be some kind of thing to drive more listeners because that's what they do. They do these Speaker 4 (8:22) cash and prizes to try and get more listeners for ratings, et cetera. Think about back in the days we were on radio. Sometimes it would be, you know, like. And this is great and good on them for going, you know, we'll pay your bills like all day long. You know, we'll pay a $200 phone bill. $200. And all day long they're trying to make more people listen to win that $200. Here we are sitting on a $75,000 prize haul. And we're actually not telling anyone what it is. We're not leveraging Speaker 2 (8:52) it for more audience. Now a lot of people go, well, Speaker 4 (8:54) that's good on you. That's nice that you're above that. We're not above that. No, we're not above that at all. We don't think we're better than that. We should be leveraging this for more listeners. Yes, yes. 100 % we should. So Speaker 5 (9:07) what do you do? That's what we came up with. Yeah. So Speaker 6 (9:10) if you head to hamishandanny.com. You will see a link there where the application form is to be a member of the audience and your chance to win the prize pool. Or some of the prizes or, you know, have a Speaker 4 (9:25) crack at winning. Yep. You've got to be in the audience to win the prizes during the game show. Yep. But if you get wet, that's all you get. Speaker 6 (9:32) If you get wet, that's all you get. Speaker 4 (9:34) Yeah, I like Speaker 6 (9:34) that. So you'll have to, on 25 words or less, as you fill out this form to be a chance to be an audience member, you'll have to write. who have you all so enticed to listen to the podcast? Make it 50. Should Speaker 4 (9:47) we make it 50 words? Yeah, 50 words. Or Speaker 6 (9:49) how do you propose to get more audience to the podcast? That's good. Yeah, how are you getting the show out there? What are you doing to boost numbers? Yeah. As an additional click bit of video upload, we thought it'd be good to put up a video of you getting pushed into a pool or a body of water just to prove that you can Speaker 4 (10:07) swim because the health Speaker 6 (10:08) and Speaker 4 (10:09) safety Speaker 6 (10:09) people Speaker 4 (10:09) are coming Speaker 6 (10:10) at us. Speaker 4 (10:10) Hard jack. It would make a difference for the insurance and the safety people I'm hearing if we said, hey, look, we have a Speaker 6 (10:18) video of Jeff Speaker 4 (10:19) being pushed Speaker 6 (10:20) in the Speaker 4 (10:20) pool. He's Speaker 6 (10:20) a Speaker 4 (10:20) great contestant. He showed us he could do it. He wanted to go in the water. He's got shoes on. It's not a problem. Because in Speaker 6 (10:27) watching a bunch of old shows back, Deal or No Deal, Price is Right, et cetera, there are some very old men and women. that get to play those games and I'm just not sure. We Speaker 5 (10:38) don't want to Speaker 6 (10:38) push them in Speaker 5 (10:39) the Speaker 6 (10:39) pool. Well, I just feel like if they get close to the tip-in point, pushing Grant in and not being at a retriever. Yeah, that's true. Having said that, we Speaker 4 (10:48) don't want to discriminate. Having Speaker 6 (10:50) said that, Speaker 4 (10:50) it's not live. Speaker 6 (10:51) It's not live. We can edit that out. We can Speaker 4 (10:53) bring a stunt person in to put Grant's clothes on and we just shoot. Speaker 6 (10:57) Stop me to edit her out. Edit the catastrophe out. We can Speaker 4 (11:00) just like stop the record, stunt he comes in, gets dressed in Grant's clothes, puts a wig on, and then we just shoot it from behind or with a fast blow. Okay, so should we have another tick box saying I'm not a strong swimmer but I Speaker 6 (11:14) would Speaker 5 (11:15) like the stunt double action. No, because everyone's going to do that. Everyone's going to do that. Speaker 6 (11:18) But we'll just say. Video or request a stunt double. Nah, because then you're going to Speaker 4 (11:22) request Speaker 6 (11:22) a stunt double. Yeah, because the video is Speaker 4 (11:24) then you've got to get a friend to film, you've got to upload Speaker 5 (11:26) it. Speaker 6 (11:27) You've got to better chant if you've got Speaker 5 (11:29) a Speaker 6 (11:29) video. Speaker 4 (11:29) Yeah, if we sniff that you aren't the kind of person that needs a stunt double and you're just requesting this. So you can say you've had a stunt double, but probably not going to invite you. Yeah, exactly. I'd like Speaker 6 (11:39) to Speaker 4 (11:39) see people willingly able to go in the pool. But if it's like Speaker 6 (11:42) Marjorie Doreen, you know, Fiddleston, 87 years old. She's great TV, but she doesn't Speaker 4 (11:50) want Speaker 6 (11:50) to go Speaker 4 (11:50) in Speaker 6 (11:50) the pool. And she ticks, I Speaker 4 (11:52) will request a stunt double. You go, oh, that's probably fair for Marge. Do you know what? If you think you want a stunt double for the pool, there's another 50 words or less to
