A listener production Well

0:06

Ham, this is our remembering project. Yep, where a

0:09

random day of the year is selected and we

0:11

look up the run sheets from all our shows

0:13

from across the years to find any we did

0:15

on that day. Over 20 years that's about 2,500

0:17

shows and roughly 26,000 talk breaks. Today

0:23

we pick one. One talk break only and try

0:25

to remember what happened based on what was written

0:27

down on the run sheet from that day. As

0:29

always we've got podcast Mike Wurz here for any

0:31

technical stuff. Hello. Mike, what

0:33

date was randomly chosen today? It's the

0:35

17th of June. Right here that's Andy's

0:38

go, here's Mike to take care of the sponsor

0:40

stuff and we'll be right back to hear what

0:42

year Andy chose to remember that day. This

0:48

is Hamish and Andy's remembering

0:50

project. 17th

0:55

of June, Ham, is we're going to

0:57

have a little look at all the run sheets. So

0:59

if you're listening to this podcast for the first time

1:01

ever, welcome. Huge. But the way this works is

1:04

we've got a run sheet from every single show we've

1:06

ever done because our producers were really great. Yep. I

1:09

tried to explain this to my kids this morning as I was taking them to school

1:11

about what the show was that I was doing today. And

1:14

not a huge amount of interest to be honest. And

1:16

even just explaining the run sheet was

1:19

tricky. I think for kids

1:21

to get their head around. But I trust that most people

1:23

listening to your adults and you understand what a run sheet

1:26

would be. Yes. Sort of a

1:28

short description of everything that is included in the show.

1:30

We think there's about 27,000 talk

1:32

breaks that we can choose from. I mean I

1:34

had that moment where you say to a kid

1:36

something that you know isn't

1:38

that interesting. But you think, well maybe

1:40

it's interesting. But then you get a look, I got a look

1:42

today where I was like, that is 100% the look of a

1:46

kid to their dad of like, this

1:49

could be, couldn't be less interesting to

1:51

me. And we write down what

1:53

we're going to say on the radio show. And

1:55

we keep, we kept them all.

1:57

Kept them all. Unbelievable. Not really.

2:00

I have no idea what you're

2:02

talking about. Well, we've

2:04

did shows and we've got run sheets

2:06

for those shows. Sorry, Sonny. If

2:09

you're listening. Sorry, anyone under 10. 2002,

2:12

2005, 2013, 2014 and 2016. Only

2:17

five years. Do we have a June 17 show? Probably

2:20

because it hovers around holidays, is

2:22

it? Yeah, probably does. Is

2:25

that community radio? Yeah. Or

2:28

be close to or it's... That

2:31

community radio. Okay. Or it's the

2:33

almost midnight show. Oh, yeah. Well, I don't think

2:35

we have any of that in the Remembering Project, do we? No.

2:38

It disappeared. That was our Monday

2:40

night show. I don't know,

2:42

almost Tuesday show. Almost Tuesday shows. It was our

2:44

Monday night show. Yeah. Which we only

2:46

did 10 of. Yeah. And the

2:49

reason why... So Hamish was writing for

2:51

the Breakfast Show at Fox

2:53

FM. Which was the year before and then the next

2:55

year they were like, how would you like a show?

2:57

And I was trying to get back in the door

3:00

and they asked me to... Like

3:03

Lisa, who is I

3:05

think the EA to one of the program directors. You

3:08

were bugging her to get me a job in there. Yeah. And

3:11

she said, why don't you panel for Kyle and Jackie O and

3:13

press the buttons for them? Yeah. So

3:15

I did that poorly for a couple of weeks and then you and

3:17

I got snuck on. Then

3:20

I was originally pressing the buttons for us as well. And

3:23

they said, this guy should not press buttons. What are

3:25

they doing? Let's have him on the other side. And

3:27

boy, am I glad that... What a great move. That

3:30

is such a win. Yeah. You don't want to

3:32

press the button. No. Sorry, Mike.

3:34

No, I mean, you're very good at pressing the button. You're

3:37

very good at pressing the button. I actually like it. I

3:39

enjoy it. What you do because you get to just listen

3:41

along. But if we actually participating, it's annoying to then go

3:43

like... What would happen often is

3:45

I'd be so engaged in laughing with what Hamish

3:47

has said and mucking around. And then I'd

3:49

go, ah... And then... And then... And

3:52

then hit a song. And the song would have

3:54

like a 30 second intro. Which

3:56

you'd normally want to be talking to

3:58

the top of. when we'd sit there

4:00

quietly listening to the full intro. Listening

4:03

to the music swell. Yeah, that

4:05

was okay. So 2002, that's Community

4:07

Radio Days. But let's go to 2013.

4:11

Seth Rogen on the show again. We

4:13

really did have Seth Rogen on all the way. We loved

4:15

having him on because he was

4:17

a rare category of international film star.

4:19

Usually most of the time if you

4:21

were coming out, if you're an

4:23

international star coming out and doing radio press

4:25

in Australia, your film wasn't doing great. So

4:28

that wasn't a fun journey that you have

4:30

to make. You can actually oblige to try

4:32

and squeeze a few mil out of the

4:34

international market because it's opened weak domestically. If

4:36

you've gone nuts in the US, you don't

4:38

need to. They're saying have the rest of

4:40

the world off. We've already recouped our money.

4:43

Unless you have points in the film,

4:45

in which case some people. If you

4:47

own a bit of the film, you would come and

4:49

go hard. For instance, Tom Cruise, I reckon, is the

4:51

ultimate professional. He definitely has huge back end and he's

4:53

like, and he also is so competitive, he probably wants

4:55

it to be the biggest in the world all the

4:57

time. He just laps the globe.

5:00

He's always promoting something. What

5:02

a professional. Seth Rogen was in

5:05

the great fun camp of people

5:07

that liked doing the publicity and

5:09

their films were popular, but still

5:12

half indie. Yes. So

5:14

like Pineapple Express, World.

5:17

Sausage party. Yeah, like Superbad and stuff.

5:19

We loved the films, but

5:22

they weren't the number one box office. So it was

5:24

still enough of a reason

5:26

to get the star out. So it was a

5:28

really fun time when they would come out because

5:30

they wanted to be there. Yes. And they were

5:32

super funny, obviously. And... Opposed to having someone come

5:34

out. And it was from a film that people

5:36

were excited to see. So often we would

5:39

have to interview someone to be like, anyway,

5:41

so the Cole Miners lawyer

5:44

is opening in selected Dendi

5:46

cinemas. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

5:49

And you're going... And

5:52

then we'd have to go and watch them. And

5:54

you'd go, oh no. No,

5:56

no, no. And

5:58

yeah, a big star. would be out here and you'd

6:00

be going and you have to ask them a serious

6:03

question about the film and they know the films like going grand. And

6:05

I'm not saying this would be the person but let's say

6:07

it would be like a Daniel Craig doing

6:10

an indie film. Yes. And

6:12

so it was like a $5 million budget film. So

6:15

you want to ask him about Bond. Yes. But

6:18

you meant to be asking them about the coal miners

6:20

lawyer. Yeah. So

6:23

you sort of stuff with like someone

6:25

that has a huge level

6:27

of interest way outside this film.

6:30

Yeah. And then you really sort

6:32

of like going,

6:34

hey, you're not going to like this yet. Yeah.

6:37

How do you think Bond would have gone down the coal mine?

6:42

Very true. And then they're like, well, that's

6:44

just what we're doing in this film. Yeah. Well,

6:46

what I loved about this role was that a

6:49

huge departure from Bond. That's exactly often what they'd

6:51

say. And then you're like, damn it. Yeah, right.

6:53

Right. I'd love to

6:55

ask about Bond. What were the coolest parts of

6:57

that Bond that you enjoyed departing from? Yeah. And

7:00

then if a Bond film was coming out, you

7:03

would try and get a grab to hold on

7:05

to for like six months time where you can't

7:07

get Daniel Craig. And

7:09

then you pretend that you've got him

7:11

around. Remember when we had him on

7:13

for the coal miners lawyer? He was

7:16

that. Exactly. This goes to

7:18

show how much time has changed

7:20

for us. We've talked about this in

7:22

the day that our producers particularly would want us to

7:24

follow big TV shows and we couldn't hear this because

7:26

we just wanted to do our own thing. Well, it's

7:28

sort of part of being back in the down, right?

7:30

It was sort of like, well, you've got to, you

7:33

know, you've got to, you've got to be talking

7:35

about whatever one's talking about. It's clear that the

7:37

voice must have been massive in 2013. Yeah.

7:40

Neither of us must have been watching it because the

7:42

phone topic was. No, from me. Andy

7:45

has been missing the voice lately and doesn't

7:47

know who to vote for. Who should Andy

7:49

vote for for the voice finale? Now

7:53

that's boring. That's

7:55

terrible. But someone's gone. Hey guys, the finale

7:57

is coming up. We need to do something on it. I

8:00

might have been watching it. And then

8:02

we would have gone, let's make something of that. So

8:05

we sort of killed two birds with one star. Yeah, we didn't make

8:07

a lot from it. We made that amount.

8:10

2014, year after, this was up my alley, this type

8:12

of thing. I'm not going to listen to it though,

8:14

because there's something even better. There's something that was so

8:17

good. One of my favorite all-time

8:19

memories from the Haymesh Nanny show. Don't oversell

8:21

it. No, I can't. It's just that good.

8:25

But this, that wasn't, that's 2016. So

8:27

2014, this type of content we

8:29

loved on the show. Tim,

8:32

my mate, he went out with

8:34

a girl, got his jacket stolen by the

8:36

girl he went on a date with. Yes,

8:38

she spews on it. And

8:41

we tried to track her down. Yep. Maybe

8:43

I've got the stories mixed up here. Maybe it wasn't a spew. It wasn't a

8:45

spew. I don't think we tried

8:47

to track her down and

8:49

we found her and she called the show and explained herself.

8:52

Amazing. That was the kind of, and that was the

8:54

kind of content we loved. We loved that. A little

8:56

mystery. If we could bookend the

8:58

show, like a two hour manhunt, we would

9:00

often enjoy a manhunt. From memory, I'm not

9:02

sure if it's this, maybe people can go

9:04

back through our archives and let us know

9:06

that she, from

9:09

memory, she was cold so

9:11

had the jacket on. She

9:13

drank too much and went, I

9:15

need to get out of here. And while

9:17

he went to the toilet, goes nothing but still took the

9:19

jacket. So it would have been

9:21

a tough double loss for him returning

9:24

from the bathroom to see her not

9:26

there. I'm down a lead on a

9:28

coach. Yes, mate. So

9:30

apologies if that wasn't the vomit story,

9:32

but I did remember there being you

9:34

involved in something like that. Could be.

9:38

Hame 2016. My

9:41

favorite, I think. Layla's loot

9:43

chute. No, no, not you dressed as

9:46

half a chicken laying eggs in

9:49

an outfit that cost us $1,500 or

9:51

something that

9:54

you can- You had to. Never

9:57

have you pushed a statement so hard.

10:00

Juice, artic Lordswood shoot,

10:02

or something we spent

10:05

as much money on.

10:10

Was it the club was it going through

10:12

the car wash? No, it was a triumphant

10:15

thing that happened on the people's crews. Oh

10:19

my gosh, it's cash score. Yeah,

10:21

oh, wow. It's cashSafe,

10:23

it's cashæ, call Mike. Yes, we'll Oh have a little

10:26

nod to the sponsor, and then we'll set up where

10:28

this is going because I don't want to interrupt in

10:30

the middle. Oh my God. Thank

10:33

you, Mike. Okay, so the people's

10:35

crews. Yeah, 2016 we left dry land

10:37

and we cruised for a week. With

10:40

a bunch of much

10:42

like the ill-fated love boat attempt they

10:44

tried on TV. We

10:47

had our 50 listeners, 50 cruisers, and

10:49

they were a wonderful bunch and we

10:51

were, it was loosey goosey. But

10:54

also then amongst the just

10:57

normal people that had booked a holiday. Yeah, so

10:59

unfortunately they had us being idiots. Who didn't know,

11:01

oh, is there a radio show as well on

11:03

the boat? And so that

11:05

like, and I think that's how they filmed the love

11:07

boat too. There was just like regular people having a

11:09

holiday going, Darren McMullen's here trying to make a TV

11:11

show. Trying to make a love base

11:14

kind of bachelor on water kind of thing going

11:16

on. Trying to make people hook up. So

11:19

that was the cruise, but yes, okay, so

11:21

to set up cash claw. The

11:23

whole cruise was heaps of fun. So much fun.

11:26

Because we were on a cruise. We only

11:28

got... There was a guy called Steve

11:31

that came along who he'd given himself the nickname Best

11:33

Fun Steve. And he'd made hats that

11:35

said Best Fun Steve. And

11:37

I treasured my Best Fun Steve hat and I

11:40

lost it or had to give it, I lost

11:42

it in a bet. Really?

11:44

Like years later and I was devastated that I lost my

11:46

Best Fun Steve hat. What was

11:48

the bet? I can't even remember, but I

11:51

just know that I was holding onto that hat for

11:53

dear life and then I had to give it away.

11:55

But I also remember I didn't take any clothes.

11:57

I didn't take anything. I

12:00

bought everything on the ships. I just remember being in Hawaiian

12:02

shirts and the t-shirts, the merch

12:04

that I was selling of you. Of being

12:06

being ridden by you as a surfboard. Yeah.

12:08

And I just said surf stuff and we

12:11

would sell those t-shirts for 50 bucks illegally

12:13

on Deck C at night. It's very, very

12:15

fast selling of cash t-shirts. Yes. And we

12:17

assumed it was international waters and you could

12:19

do that. And so I just remember being

12:21

in an extra large of one

12:24

of those t-shirts. Really a Hawaiian shirt every

12:26

day or two Hawaiian shirts if it was

12:28

cold. We've like a neck,

12:30

like something around my neck. We had

12:32

lays for a while. We had lays

12:34

and lanyards and stuff. And it was

12:37

just this rolling, crazy mess. But the

12:40

thing we remember on the casino floor,

12:42

they had a game where you

12:44

would win blocks of cash. You were

12:46

trying to pick up blocks of cash with a skill tester

12:48

and it was called cash claw. And

12:50

the conspiracy theories that went around about

12:52

how is the claw weak enough? Is

12:54

it strong enough? That was the

12:56

talk of the boat. We pumped so much money

12:58

into the cash. We just hammeraged cash. We basically

13:00

were selling the t-shirts for cash and putting it

13:03

all in the cash claw machine. We thought it

13:05

was impossible. And then we thought on the last

13:07

show. We have been talking about it a lot.

13:09

Yeah. And yeah, that's right. The last show we

13:11

did from the big amphitheater on the boat. Yeah.

13:13

Where they normally have like the circus acts and

13:15

stuff on the cruise ship. So we had a

13:17

full, I don't know how many people, maybe a

13:19

thousand you reckon? We got a huge audience because

13:21

there's nothing to do on, that's what you do

13:24

on cruise ships. Like you just do the activity.

13:26

And they've listed us for that day as

13:28

Hamish and Andy, Pants off

13:30

Friday, radio show from the amphitheater.

13:32

So a lot of bewildered like

13:35

70 plus year olds going, what is

13:37

this? And we bought on

13:39

as our special guest. Cash cash. We wanted to play one

13:41

last game. The break goes too long. So we're not going

13:43

to sit there the whole

13:49

break. Even though Marshy has asked me, can we,

13:51

he goes, I think it's better to listen to it

13:53

and nine and a half minutes.

13:55

It was nine and a half minutes. We kept

13:57

having another go. I

14:10

think it's better to hear it all. You

14:12

hear the payoffs and I'm like nah, we

14:14

can't listen to two gambling headaches. Despite

14:19

the fact that someone's like you're in a

14:21

huge wrap up going guys it's like 10

14:23

bar six you've missed the end of the

14:25

show. Yeah, yeah, so it's one more thing

14:27

we want to do. That's right.

14:30

One more go. One more go. So

14:33

this is five minutes of

14:38

how it went down when we bought the

14:40

cash flow out and I think

14:42

from memory we were getting people

14:45

in their cars. Oh,

14:47

to say left, left, left, right, right, right. To

14:49

say left, left, right, right and go down and

14:51

then anyone in Australia could have been in control

14:54

of the cash flow and the high fees just

14:56

off Van O'Wart. The

15:00

17th of June 2016. It

15:08

is pants off Friday and

15:11

we've just left mystery island and

15:14

at the moment Ham, we're

15:16

in the cash flow inside of you

15:19

might hear it just slowly beating

15:22

away at the moment. Playing at the

15:24

high music. But we asked an unlicensed

15:26

techno track blaring from its speakers. You'd

15:29

think for a machine that had so much money it could have

15:31

afforded a copyrighted song

15:33

but nope, it just blares. The

15:35

people on this boat will know that music hand because

15:37

it means you filled it up with credit and

15:40

you're ready to start dropping the skill test

15:42

of core on those shrink wrap bundles of

15:44

$5 notes. 100 notes in

15:46

a stack, $500 if you can grab one and you

15:48

and I spent five days playing this

15:51

machine. At sea. We

15:53

cannot seem to grab a brick. It's killing

15:55

us. But we feel like Shane might be

15:57

able to do it. Shane joins us now.

16:00

Welcome to the People's Cruise. Ahoy there,

16:02

over. Ahoy boys. Shane,

16:04

this has got to be slightly surreal for you.

16:06

You're making a phone call from the mainland of

16:09

Australia. It's been beamed to a cruise ship in

16:11

the middle of the South Pacific to a theatre

16:13

full of a thousand people who are looking at

16:15

a stage with a skill tester on it and

16:17

you're about to play it virtually. But Shane, we

16:19

believe in you. We know just

16:22

by using a combination of vibing it out and telling me

16:24

where to drive the claw and then

16:26

saying drop, I think you're going to get one of

16:28

the $500 bricks. I'm feeling

16:30

quite seasick boys. Nothing

16:34

at cocktail, don't fix my friend. Ok Shane, drive

16:36

Hamish, take it away. Ok,

16:40

forward Hamish and

16:43

stop it. Stop.

16:48

Can I just suggest you also say right because you

16:50

know we're near the pile. Right,

16:54

right and stop. Oh

16:57

Shane. The ground like

16:59

that Shane. The ground like that. The ground like that as

17:01

you can hear. The claw has gone forward to right where the

17:03

bundle of cash is. It's stacked around

17:05

about 5 or 6 bricks high. I've got to

17:07

say, you just tell us what to do but

17:10

I like where it is. I

17:12

like where it is too. We're almost out of time. Drop it.

17:15

It's dropping, it's dropping. It's dropping. It's

17:17

dropping. You picked it. Oh!

17:19

The claw went down Shane. He grabbed the top

17:22

cash bundle off the very top and

17:25

he just flicked it off to the side but not

17:27

in the bin. Unfortunately, you don't win and this is

17:29

a familiar feeling for Hamish and I and everyone on

17:31

board. Is there a cup behind you with a

17:33

crowbar? Nice

17:36

suggestion Shane. We received a well and truly alarm

17:38

because we've already filed. As

17:41

you've heard, this goes for a while. So

17:43

just fast forwarding through Kerry, Brad and Angie's

17:46

turn. How can I help you get that

17:48

work yourself and up the pile? Jordan, in

17:51

your wee truck and a hoy to you. Ahoy

17:54

Jordan, I'm ready to drive. All you've got to do

17:56

is tell me where to drive this

17:58

skilled Hester Claw above the pile. piles of $5 notes

18:02

shrink wrapped into $500 note bricks and

18:04

clearly doused in oil or another slippery

18:08

substance but very difficult to get them up.

18:11

Alright. The log fishing wire tying them down but here

18:13

we go, let's do it. Alright, forward.

18:15

Stop. Forward. Okay,

18:17

yep. Right. And

18:20

now, yeah, okay. Oh. How do you feel

18:22

about it, Ham? Do you want to direct Jordan anyway? Oh.

18:25

How do you feel about it, Ham? Do you want to

18:27

direct Jordan anyway? I mean, Jordan, if you felt

18:29

like saying right a little bit more. Oh

18:32

yeah, we'll go a little bit. Just a

18:34

spin. Just a tickle, Ham. Just a tickle.

18:36

Okay. Jordan, we're going down.

18:39

Alright. We're dropping, Jordan. Here we go. Here

18:41

we go. Oh my God. Oh my

18:43

God. Oh my God. Oh my God.

18:46

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh

18:48

my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.

18:51

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh

18:55

my God,

18:57

turning back my play.

19:00

I did it. Oh my God. It's

19:05

a Jordan series. Look

19:09

through the distance of

19:12

all sports. Jake. Atieri's

19:15

Gym! Oh my! Zola.

19:18

All RF elouch Keeping the

19:20

film that plain. Oh dude,

19:22

we're so tall. Stupid music. Oh my God.

19:25

Jordan, Jordan. I can't believe it. I'm holding it

19:27

in my hand. Jordan, are you there? I'm here.

19:30

I'm here. Jordan,

19:33

Hamish and I literally have

19:35

spent thousands of dollars trying to get

19:37

this $500 bound to land.

19:39

Oh my God. Jordan, you did it. This

19:42

pays for almost 10% of the money we

19:44

put into the machine. Jordan,

19:46

it's yours. You did it. Oh,

19:48

this is the best thing ever. PTIS.

19:50

All right, here's the thing, Jordan. We owe

19:52

Jordan at least half that ham. Well, I

19:54

mean, we'd make it rain in here. You're

19:57

going to throw it over Jordan. We'll give her $500. We'll

19:59

give her $500. We're going to

20:01

do it, Jordan. We're going to keep the

20:03

wrapping for you. How

20:08

do rappers do this? Are

20:15

you ready here? You take half, Ando. Alright, ready

20:17

to make it rain. You want a

20:19

highlight? Three, two, one. Make

20:22

it rain, make it rain! Pants

20:24

off, brother. Have a standing cruise in your home. Forgot

20:29

that we made it rain. I

20:32

mean, we're not the first people

20:34

involved in radio to literally throw cash at

20:36

their listeners to make them happy. But I

20:38

think it's the first time it's literally been

20:40

done. Yeah, exactly. Usually it's done

20:43

by the secret sound or a beat, the

20:45

bomb, or some other competition. But no, no,

20:47

we will get you in a room. We'll

20:49

just throw money at you. I think the

20:51

perfect example of the stir craziness from people

20:53

that have been five days on a boat, not

20:55

a lot to do except for play cash crane. They're

20:58

excited versus Jordan who just joined us. Oh,

21:01

terrific. Oh, well done. Terrific. We

21:04

have just witnessed the single greatest thing

21:06

of all time. We could possibly imagine.

21:09

It was, I think we

21:11

were screaming at the time going, that is a career

21:13

highlight. I think it is. I think

21:15

it was the absolute pinnacle. Because

21:18

of the sheer improbability of it,

21:21

that it happened, that it

21:23

happened at all, that on top of

21:25

that it happened in front of the crowd, that

21:27

it was our last attempt, because we were

21:29

way over time as you could hear, like we just kept

21:31

going, and that it

21:34

happened live on

21:36

the last moment of that cruise show. God,

21:39

that's what you get into the game for. That

21:42

was the beginning of the end for us, wasn't it? You never

21:44

hear it.
