live from the fresh of our studios in Melbourne, Australia. It's the best and only podcast recapping classic episodes of the iconic hey, hey, it's Saturday. Hey, hey, it's the podcast and here is your host Chris. Hello there everybody and welcome to hey, hey, it's a podcast. We don't bury the lead. We are a podcast that watches old episodes of hey, hey, it's Saturday and we recap them. How do we get to watch hey, hey, it's Saturday and this day in age I hear you ask. Well, the summers Carol group who were not affiliated with have a Netflix and binge like streaming service were for 695 a month. You can subscribe to hey, hey, dot TV and access the archives with hey, hey, it's Saturday. We watched the old episodes and had great time going down memory lane and thought it would be fun to podcast about. So here we are. Who's we I hear you ask? Well, me is Chris fresh and I am joined each and every episode by Anthony Mitch Mitchell. Hello and the producer of our show Paul Jonesy Jones. We exist in a post fancy world. He hasn't died. It was just the last week's episode. I was going to say like I don't know if something's happened to Paul John that I didn't know. In fact, we saw a photo of him recently is recovering Jonesy, if anything. Yeah, like this Jonesy what Jonesy is referring to is a very non eventful episode of hey, hey, hey. Which Daryl opened up saying this was going to be one of the biggest shows of the year. longest I think he meant. Yeah, well, it was definitely big. It would be true. Look, you've got to remember these shows are on every week. They're not meant to be recapped by a podcast. 30 years later. Yeah, they weren't making this show in 97 going, yeah, what a bunch of middle age men will think about. And I'm sure if you're sitting around on a quiet Saturday night, there's no footy on. You've got nothing on. Drink in your island cooler. Yeah, it's probably fine. Bad hit breakers for some karaoke. You know, when you're fighting time in your week to watch an episode of hey, hey, and write notes about it, and it's what this was. It gets tough, but look, we're sometimes the episodes that we don't think much of. We somehow find some treasure in there. So we'll get started. At least dad's bought the color. Didn't he with his costumes? Well, for those playing on at home, we're reviewing the 35th episode of 1997. And we'd like to start each and every episode with a bit of days watching. Yes, he's gone. Perhaps for the most excitement of a show, he went a light blue shirt. Yeah. And a navy jacket. It's also under the weather. He's talking about a school competition coming up for Vegemite. And John makes the joke that, you know, also the money for the person that's got the magic ticket under their seat, which wasn't a competition. He just sort of made it up just to just to get the crowd excited. Just to rip the crowd. In this season, I've got a bit of a clench. Because he mentioned that S word. Swimming. Swimming. What is it? We're swimming. Well, nine obviously had the rights of swimming. Swimming happened on Saturday nights and nine was going to just put it on in Hay Hay. So look, from swimming Australia's perspective, Hay Hay at Saturday was highly rated. So you're getting a lot of eyes on your event just because you're putting it during Hay Hay at Saturday. So it's quite smart. Darryl talks about property prices being through the roof. So hang on to your hat swell seekers. As they're talking about for a one bedroom flat in Cremoine in New South Wales, it was a whopping $350,000. And he pointed out that you could either pay that for a flat or have an island for $350,000. Let me tell you now, you couldn't get a one bedroom flat for $350,000 in Maui. Yeah, I did a little bit of surface googling. On average, this is more house pricing rather than single unit pricing. The average house price in Cremoine at that time was about $230,000. It currently sits at about $1.6 million. And also, like I said, prior to this, they did mention that Darryl was under the weather. And they keep referencing that he was using something under the desk inferring maybe a little bit of the older forest bump, shall we say? Yeah, the old booger sugar. No, I don't think Darryl would do that. I couldn't. I won't hear that. We then talk about... We've got a bit of Wolfgang Puck talk and shame. You just get the feeling that he probably annoyed the hell out of every gear himself. A lot of tossing jokes. Yeah, and I think Joe Beth was sort of saying he was... Creepy. Yeah. And the fine line. Yeah. Never heard of him? No. Darryl predicted big things for this band. Well, you know, he's... Now, okay, to show how big of a thing they did, literally the only reference I can find to this band is this performance on this episode. I look through like discogs. I look through everywhere. I can't find anything. The new chill factor. This isn't even coming out. Like a chill factor, at least has like a discogs entry. But yeah, that was... We own the rise to chill factor now, Darryl. Yeah, chill is what is right. Chill factor also appeared on the McDonald's cassette. Exactly. But yeah, this was also something called sitting on the beach under the pier with like in a phone booth with no change or whatever. And it looks like rain. It's got a bit of a country sound. I thought maybe that's why it's not my radar. This is a dad band. All of these guys look like they're paying child support. And you can say, look, they don't use this, but they were the opening act on hey, hey, say no. That's quite a pretty big claim to fame. Oh, their song title was longer than their career, so... So much so. I realized I almost skipped over them. In my notes, funny photos. Not the greatest segment to recap on a audio only podcast. But I think the highlight of funny photos where people just send in weird photos. Russ was telling some pretty good rush jokes throughout this. And we got some casual racism of John putting on a Japanese accent. Yeah, the only note I had about funny photos in the car remember the context was carrying up the shops. I have no idea. I think it was something mentioned during one of the photos and it just became a running gag. And I also just had the note that there was a bunch. Oh, that was after funny photos. There was a bunch of skin bags in the crowd asking if they could get a car. Yeah. I just said they were 18, but they look 30. Yeah, we had some audience questions, but... Yeah. I did panic because the song title was so long. He did tees that said, "Oh, he should fax in some long song titles." And I think everyone nixed it, sort of saying, "I don't think anyone's working the facts today." Yeah, that's taking a prime swimming real estate. We then get the photo booth challenge with Steve Jackson. Oh my god, this was creepy. So, Steve's there at the Jam Factory. I don't think the Jam Factory looks like this anymore. It's boarded up, I think. It looks like post-apocalyptic. It's not as maximalist as it used to be. They're going to knock it down and build again. Are they? I think they're going to keep the bones. I think they're going to knock the whole thing or they're going to keep the bones. Oh, who knows what's going to be like. Yeah, Chappell Street is not what it once was. No, we're doing laps anymore. No, no, Chappellaps. The premise is Steve's going to approach a female and ask her to take a photo with him in the booth. And you hear that and you go, "Oh, I can see why people would be weird and be funny if you can convince them in." What you don't realize is once he gets her into the booth, he's got some follow-up that he's going to try. And it was what was requested of him because it wasn't him just, at first I thought, "Is he making up on the fly?" And it was like, "No." They had lines they wanted to sort of check. This is a fast tractor getting pepper sprayed. He approached a couple of, and he finds like the the loveliest woman. And it didn't help that he just was standing there as such a creepy awkward manner. But it is weird, like you're in the giant factory near a photo booth, you try to come into an empty walk here. So he says to her, "Look, I've told my mum I'm engaged because she wants me to hook up with this horrible woman. I don't want to. So if we take a photo together, I can say, "Look, I've got somebody now." Which is, that's enough to start. And you could almost get someone in for a photo with that. But then it keeps going. And then, you know, she's like, "All right, but you're not kissing me." And always, then he's like, "Can I put my arm around you? Can I put a ring on a finger?" And then he goes for the kiss and she draws. She draws the line. And Daryl goes, "All right, all right." He pulls the pig. He pulls the pig. Yeah, it was just a weird... What's that? Like, if he just, his challenge was to get her in and have the photo, but like you said, it went to places it shouldn't have. It didn't need to. No. You could have gone more absurdist with this rather than trying to make it's like, "Oh, put this hat on, do this, do that." And what was funny, it did feel like they're just trying to get their mate laid because when she wins a prize to the Gold Coast, which is a great prize and everything, I remember like, "Well, maybe she'll take him." And it was like, "I don't know." It was just such a weird thing. It was an idea. It was a long run up for very little payoff. Yeah, and I'm happy for her that she got a trip to the Gold Coast because she was laughing. People were laughing, but I found it awkward now. I don't know if that's time on this one, but yeah. It was, I suppose you wouldn't have seen anything like that on TV at the time. No. He was definitely out of nowhere. And look, I don't know that people thought anything of it. It was just what how things were. Then speaking of weird, we get a willy egg advert. An egg advert, including like it was him sort of espousing the virtues and the uses of eggs and showing what it could be put on, one of which was Ozzie Pizza, which is, you know, very straightforward. It didn't look like an Ozzie Pizza to me. It had capsicum on it. Yeah, no, no, no, no. But then it got, once again, this is where they kind of blurred the line between, "Is this a legitimate ad or a bit?" Because I thought it was a bit. Yeah, because they were going, "Eggs can go on everything." It was like, "Stand or something." Then they go, "It goes on breakfast cereal. It goes on ice cream." Then he turns around and he's got a Mitch-like earring, made of an egg. Great earring. And he's got an egg, he's got an egg necklace. I think it's a legit ad, but just for eggs in general. So just the fact that you keep saying eggs, it's enough for them to get there. And then Daryl points out that not all states would have seen that. So it only went out in certain markets. Then boys to men are out. Oh, sorry. No, no. And they're not doing the hit. What was this? Four seasons of loneliness. They've got voices of angels. And skitties. The ladies were excited to see. Were they rockers? They were in the Akubra's last time in the Dusters. I do remember, as they announced that they're coming up, this one girl in the crowd absolutely loses her mind. And once again, sort of leading into the weird awkwardness of this episode, they decide to put her on camera, and she is terrified. She immediately clams up and just wants to crush herself into a little ball. So do I when I listen to this music? Well, your options were listen to this. Or go to the pools. Or call Stevenson Dennis, who's Grant Hackett's coach. Dennis was a weird unit. He looked so eighties. He was hard. He was a hard nut too. This was a 15 minute swim. It was 22 minutes. Well, with everything else. Yeah. Like, oh, you bet your bum that I fast-forwarded. I watched the last minute. Got exciting. No, it didn't. You might have broken the 15 minutes. That's all I wanted to see. He didn't spoil us. Teenage, Grant Hackett. Yeah, he won. Yeah. Kieran Perkins was in there. Daniel Kowalski was in there. So, you know, all the usual names of 90s. It was mentions over the teenage at Thorpe. With torpedo. But yeah. If you want swimming recaps, go to Hay Hay. It's the swimming podcast. Yeah, I don't. That was exciting. Look, Australians love winners. And we used to be. We used to be. So, you know, I think this was an exciting time for swimming in the country. And, you know, it was very successful. But 1,500 meters swimming is, yeah. You did miss some of the commentary because Laurie was on it. Yeah. And he beat off Perkins and he beat off Kowalski. Is that what he said? It's three times. Well, look, I don't know what happened in the locker room. Then it's time for the segment They Lows and We Love Do We? Joining Red on the panel is Tracy Dale, married to Jim from NoBiz. Yeah. And then one of the weirdest cats, people. Jack Absalom? Absalom. He had a bit of the succulent Chinese meal vibe about him. So, like, is he meant to be like Malcolm Douglas and Elby Mangle? Yeah, he was a bit fat. Yeah. Oh, let me tell you. I was on the YouTube the other day and. The YouTube. I, for some reason, Malcolm Douglas popped up in my feed and it's like, I'm going to put on some Malcolm Douglas and Elby Mangle's coming. My daughter and girlfriend in the room and girlfriend's from America. So, she's got no reference point to any of this and my daughter's 16. She's got no reference point to any of this. And I was sitting there, okay, on a Sunday, there's nothing else I'm telling. And this is what you watched. And the first one I watched was from 1982. And I said, you watch. He's going to get some dough. He's going to make a damper. He's going to put it in the sand. And of course, he's going to have it. I don't know how that is blood stones. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know how that memory stuck in my head. But sure is S-H triple I-T. During the episode, he gets the dough out. I'm like, yes, he's going to start making a damper. And then he's trying to collect water. It's such a convoluted process. He's got what you're going to do. You get these bags. You've got to wrap them around the trees. And you get the condensation from the leaves into the water. And the leaves made me toxic. So what you do is after four hours, you have a sip. And if you haven't got numb, before he goes, he loves about 80 hours. You just know, it's thinking, he goes, no, he does all this work. And then he gets it. And he goes, oh, two cups of water. That's too bad. It's like, oh my god. And then he goes in there and he's with an aborigini. And he goes, we're going to get this lizard. And I'm going to get this Aboriginal guy pulls the lizard out, picks it up and bang, snaps it on the ground. He goes, they do that. So they can't run away. So he goes, they just cut it open and they pull you out the intestines and stuff. And my daughter's just like mortified. And Jessie, she's got to me. What is this? And she goes, culture. We had like bare grills, which came along much later, but she goes, we had nothing like this. And then I'm laughing my head off and I'll go and look, I start reading about him. And you know, Malcolm Douglas passed away in her car accident in 2000s and in Birmingham and stuff. Anyway, he did another special, like he did many specials. But as recently as 2009, it's like, I've got to look at the 2009 Malcolm Douglas special. He gets the doll out and he digs, he plays a hole and he makes his damper and he's still in these things, gets water. But no, so I couldn't believe what I was watching. So Malcolm Douglas, I can't think of the guy's name, it's on YouTube. We can even get loads of deposely. He goes up and he talks to one of his old mates that pretty much lives in isolation, right up near Broome. And this guy lives on his own and he's got a wife. And I'm looking the wife and this guy is like an old weird guy and he's late 70s with a beard and everything. And there's this eye-looking blonde lady that's a bit younger with a good rig on her and everything, Barb. Barb saw this guy, a German TV crew came out and covered him. She came out from Europe, found him and married him, right. This villain is isolated property. And he's talking about how the only way to get to the town is down this river and stuff. He goes, I'm too old for this Barb jumps in the in the dinghy and she goes down and brings stuff. And Malcolm Douglas is laughing. He goes, "Does Barb come back?" He goes, "Oh, sometimes she comes back a little worse for wear." And all this. And then he's talking about how I wish I could have five wives, but you know, it's not legal. And he's just talking about his stuff and he goes, "I don't have TV. I don't have a radio. I'm sick of hearing about the politicians and all the wars and all of these." I'm looking at Barb right now. Yeah. Good to do with the bra. Yeah, she's not bad at all. It's hard living with her. Right. Yeah, there's Barb. She's not bad though, Barb. And she's laughing. She goes, "Yeah, I married him for his looks and his money." Like there, she tries to look at this guy. Quite the cooking monster. No, no. This story gets cooked. Oh, Barb? Yeah. Barb's not bad. I'm telling you, Barb's a good sort. He goes, "I don't need any of that my Agra." And Malcolm Douglas is like pissing himself off. Then look, they're talking about how in the '40s he got arrested. Right? And he was locked up in chains like the thing changed around the neck and changed around the hand and stuff. And he was there for seven days. And what they were telling the story was he got arrested at the Fittroy Crossing up there, not Fittroy in Melbourne. He was cohabitating with Indigenous trains. And that was a crime where they locked him up. And he's talking about the chains, everything. He goes, "We thought it was pretty funny for a day or two and then after seven days, there's nothing fun about it." And many story keeps going. And he goes, "You know, they thought we were given a alcohol and booze?" And he goes, "We weren't doing any of that." He goes, "I slept with some of the studs, the boys, and then they arrested me." And I was like, "What did he just say?" And then I re-wound it back. I slept with some of the studs, some of the boys. And I'm like, he's not just talking about something. He's talking about Aboriginal boys. I was like, "I wonder that you arrested him and put him in chains?" I couldn't believe what I was saying. Malcolm Douglas was like, having a big laugh and stuff. But this is just like on prime time in Channel 7. They said this special was really highly rated because we all tuned in to see how to make a damper and put it in for coffee. It's got your sandy damper. And then Malcolm Douglas, he's out on this beach. And there's some croc there. And he goes, "It's amazing with these crocs because nobody bothered coming up here." So they've never been shot at. So the crocs aren't scared of humans at all. And then all of a sudden the croc comes right up to them. And like right near his dog. And he goes, "Yeah, look, usually I recommend that you don't clean fish right by the water." Because that's the croc was not scared of him. Then Malcolm Douglas was like, "Ah, I'm going to jump in your boat and go out at night and see what's out there. There's a shark attacking things. There's a giant croc in there." And I was like, "He's out. He's out of his mind. Everybody talks about Steve Irwin. But as your album mangles and your Malcolm Douglas is there, they're the forgotten heroes of his... Yeah, the Laylon brothers were nowhere near his interest. Malcolm Douglas was out of his mind. And the bush tucker man had a stupid hat. Yeah, I didn't like his hat. Lays. But Malcolm Douglas made a great damper. And I tell you, generational damper. What did you put on your damper? A bit of butter. Butter? Just butter? Yeah. I'm up in my honey. I've done the jam. It's all good. But did you have sand in it? I've got sand in me damper. So you did the hole in the sand thing? I did it around the stick. Do you ever do the round the stick? I think so. But yeah, I do recommend go check out Malcolm Douglas on YouTube. It's a wild watch. And it took me back to my talk, because that's what we would watch. You know, like there was nothing else on it. There's nothing else on it. You'd watch Elby Mangle. Like he'd have a new girlfriend every episode. Loose dog. Yeah. They were a different breed. They were manly men. I'm not the man that these men are. Well, that's what Epsilon was. But he was a bit more... I got my own bar. Yeah. He was kind of an adventurer, all three type. Yeah. He was very proud of us, right? I forgot that we were recapping red faces. I do like it. I was doing a Malcolm Douglas weekend. I do like it in his Wikipedia entry. I'm just watching him make dead, but now I'm getting hungry. For Jack Epsilon, it literally just the only headline just says life and death. Oh, dear. Yeah. Yeah. Flap, flap, flap. Yeah. It was like 19. Our first act was forest dump. And it's a guy that had the slightest resemblance to Tom Hanks's forest dump. And he pulls out a bench and he starts telling his own forestisms. But for some reason, he comes out with an inflated washing-up glove on his head. Yeah. For no reason. Just to start being congruous to the bit. It wasn't great. No. The crowd, the audience nervously laughed and said, "This isn't great." It was familiar laughing. Yeah. I can see what you're doing. Yes. It's not a bad impersonation. It just wasn't funny. Jack Epsilon gave it a six. Tracy Dale gave it a six and a half. Red gave it a two for 14 and a half. I didn't get this. We then get... Hi, Anson. Hi, Anson. Hi, Anson. Hi, Anson. And she does this thing where she's on the phone at first. And Blackman starts pretending like he's deep breathing. He's got... It's okay from keeping up appearance. Yeah, I was about to say, what was the keeping up appearance has been. And that's why she was on the phone. And then... She's always arguing that they say, "Bucket, no, it's pronounced bouquet." Yeah. That's where that bit comes. She sung fine. She sung fine. But the most part was, she gets gonged, she powers through it, and then just walks off. Yeah. I did love Red, because the crowd wanted the gong, and Red stood up, because it was land of hope and glory, was the song that she sung. And he just stood with attention for it and refused to go for ages of the crowd while wanting it, and he wouldn't do it. Jack gave it a five. Tracy Dale gave it an eight. Red gave it a four for a total of 17, and I've got a little asterisk next to this that we'll go back to. Then Glenn Taylor. Just doing a song. And not a good one. We were his best vest. Yeah, Glenn thought he was clever and smart. And it was side-eye going on. He was waiting for that gong. He was like, "Is this okay?" There was not regret, but there was concern. Yeah. Jack didn't mind him, gave him an eight. Tracy gave him a seven. Red gave him a one. All he needed was two. So high-end synth or? High-some. Yeah. Is that the worst winner in Red-facing Street? It's up there. It's up there. I think times are just every axe sucked, and someone just had to win by default. Well, that's what this was, like every axe sucked. Yeah, this was a battle of who could suck less. Yeah, Jack Absolom sucked. He just did. He was a weird unit with his hat. He was very... He told yarns. He was very chatty. He was like holding up some like GPS device. He was very proud of himself. Very... Then we had the Vegemite 75th anniversary, and we get a Jackie McDonald appearance. A very quick one. Yeah, because she presented the winning score, and because Jackie's in Queensland, and for winning school was in Queensland, she gave them a check. How much was it for? 75 grand. It was a giant novelty check in the shape of a piece of Vegemite. Oh, I want one of that. Are we all Vegemite eaters? I love you. I do like some Vegemite. What's your spread of Vegemite? How much? I'd pretty much just wave it over there. Now, I will say, dating an American, have you acclimatized them to Vegemite yet? She doesn't mind Vegemite. She actually doesn't mind it. It's not her spread of choice. No, that's for me. But it is... Yeah, she doesn't mind it. Like, my favorite Saturday lunch is to go to Bakers Delight, grab a couple of money, but not rolls with poppy seeds, and butter and Vegemite on that fresh pot. Didn't get this physique. Bait and healthy, like... Fazik by Bakers Delight. But yeah, Bakers Delight is expensive, and I hate that they're putting out for little guys out of business, but it's good bread though. Yes, it is. Teas and bacon rolls are so much better than the cold ones. It's so much better. It just is. I went there today. Wanna do ladders? No ladders. Disappointing. Not every Bakers Delight has poppy seeds on there, not rolls. Really? Yeah, I need that black seed goodness. You pull it out a few days later, you see the seeds in there. And plant them. No, I don't do that. But it was interesting with the end of this segment, in that there was a little bit of confusion over this website address thingy, because I actually had the Vegemite.com address, and they were kind of very dubious to what this actually was. You read out every single word and letter. A letter? A letter? Not only did I fast forward the swimming. I fast forwarded the Grant Hacker interview after this. Yeah, and this was obviously a teenager. I'd say you're un-Australian, but you're watched. Yeah, I'll be manganist too. Malcolm Douglas. The best way to describe it, because this was a teenage Grant Hacker, definitely before he had any form of media training. Or issues? Yeah. Yeah. So it was Hackett that had the whole had issues. Was it Hackett or was it another one? I don't know. It's hard to tell with swim as he does. You don't want to just be careful. Don't put the bear. Yeah, who you're accusing of what? Then we get Mark Seymour. He's out there, his brother's out there next out there, and he's doing the Ghost of Vane Glory. Of all the Mark Seymour songs? This is one of them. Yeah. Two of your arms around me. It's all time. Gray and some. It's been so good. He re-recorded it multiple times. Channel 10 doing, with the footy, the Holy Grail, put me off that song forever. Well, you know, it's September when that starts getting played again. Eddie Vedder doing, so yeah, I'm sorry. I mean, it's always good. Good luck. There we go. On October 29th, 2011, police were called to attend a disputed Hackett and Candles. Candles had one. Yeah. Melbourne apartment, which was reportedly found in disarray. Didn't he also have issues with still knocks? Yeah, he had some wobbles. What are we reading at the trouble life? Or in a flight, he emerged aggressive and agitated, taking offense to a male business class passenger who had reclined his seat. No, no, I hate that too. He used and grabbed the passenger on the crest on the chest before being strained. That was grand time. That was grand time. And the victim claims that Grand Hackett groped him. Justice for Gray. Did he have a secular Chinese meal first? Then it was a surprise. Rig. Y'all ready for this? Molly came out for some melodrama. And he talks about how Elton John's re-recording of Candling the Wind for Princess Diana was on track to become the biggest single of all time. And we're getting an interview with Elton. And he and Molly had a bit of history. Molly has a piece of wall that Elton had written on, but Molly had cut out of his wall. And he talks about how he had a punch-up with Molly. The visual of Molly and Elton John having the most fabulous punch-on ever. But they've had even recently, like, Molly ruined on stage Elton's farewell tour. It was actually like their trouble. It's like home under donkey. They were playing the interview. And it was the weirdest thing, like any time they cut to Molly, it just had this weird angle to it. And then I finally worked out what was wrong. Molly was sitting side-on to Elton and turning- Wasn't sitting beside him on the couch again? Yeah, it was like side-on and looking to the side. So it just had this weird, awkward angle to it. So it just meant that any time they cut to me, it just looked confused. That's mold most of the time when he's on holidays. Not working, sorry. Then he was younger than me, Elton, at this point. Are you kidding? He was 50. He was the same age, isn't he? Wow. We've done similar things in Elton. Have you had a punch-up with Molly and Elton as well? We have tried, just so everybody knows, we have desperately tried to interview Molly for the show. Just to have a chat with him, like, obviously, we treat him with kick-loves. We love Molly Meldrum, but his manager has said, "No, Molly's just not up for it," which is fair enough. We respect that. Our strike rate of getting people on Hay Hay at Saturday has been terrible. We've got Strausman. We did get Strausman. Which was funny because we didn't pursue him. He pursued us. Yeah, David Strausman's PR company reached out to us, but we cannot break the Hay Hay at Saturday. We can't get the Hay Hay at Saturday Facebook groups to post that we exist. We can't get Hay Hay at Saturday to acknowledge us. Simon Owens, like, I can't sign it. And one of the former writers has gotten in contact about it. Yeah, and they, like, Fife and Joe Beth and Willie and stuff have liked the other stuff socially, but it's almost like doing witness protection. But we haven't tried hard. Yeah, we haven't really tried hard. Maybe we should. Who would everybody like to hear? I tell you who I'm dying to get on. And obviously, like, we've had, like, we have chats online with the Jason people like Danny, Trigonning, Mary's daughter and stuff. I'd love to get Straum on. Because I reckon Jack Straum would have the best stories of red faces. And I'd love to hear about the expert didn't make it. Yeah, that didn't make it. Like, Jack would be a fascinating interview. You watch somebody or Scoopers now, like, Alex, to see if we'll get somebody on. Oh, Darren Frugia. Yeah, he's, he's poking reposted a lot of fun. Yeah, he's reposted a bunch of stuff. He would be funny. I think we can have the dick on. Bit yellow. We crack and like, I think we're hoping that we'll sort of get a cheeky reach out from them. Because I don't want to be rejected. No, we're lazy and we fear rejection. So that's what was such a relief when like management reached out and goes, would you like to have David Shrassman on the show? I was like, yes, we would. And then Mitch and I were terrified. Totally. Having to interview him and then going down and then the awkward, like, lovely, but awkward meeting with Shrassman, who gave his teddy bears each. I'm still got my teddy bear. Me too. Yep. Listen to them every night. All right. The Spice Girls, Paul Jones. They've got a movie coming out called Spice World. And the first single off the album Spice World is Spice Up Your Life. Amazing song. What a song. Great movie. Great video clip. Great everything. Now, okay. Are you familiar with Spice Invaders? No, no. Okay. So, because I, this was on and I rewatched the video clip and fell down a little bit of rabbit hole. And what it was was obviously back in the day you would release the single you'd have to be side. When they went to release this as a single, they realized they had nothing in the chamber for a B side. So they had like a leftover beat that they hadn't used. So what they did is they literally just put the girls in the studio, played the backing track and just said, "Just do something." And this ended up becoming a song, the B side, called Spice Invaders. I'm pretty sure I bought that single. I don't know. It's just them rambling over and over. I love it. It's no naked. I don't think I know. Can you imagine buying a CD, putting it in, playing the song, taking a CD. That's why you needed like changes. Now, listen to Hey, Hey, it's the podcast gentleman Andy Valente. He had a comment for us after our last show, and I wanted to address Andy. He said, "Your taste in music occasionally frustrate or even anger me, but your uncontained love for Fonzie has me totally appreciating you all." Now, Andy, I'm taking that as your big Tina Arena fan. There's no context that he likes. I'm taking that as Tina Arena. Maybe he's not a big Gary static fan. I wonder if it's Wayne's static ex, and we haven't played them on the show. Gary's static. Like, does Andy approve the Spice Girls? Does that enrage him? So what if I don't like chains? I said, I kind of don't mind a bit of surrender, and it is very much come to like that Tina Arena is not the nicest person. Now, we've painted Andy with the Tina Arena brushes, because I have to defend himself. No, I'd taste the music's terrific. Algorithm-wise, I was watching YouTube the other day, suggested the thing about Wayne's static at me. The life of death of Wayne's static. Yeah, and now, Robot Wayne is running in. The M people Jonesy. This is not the hit. As long as just for you, it always leads me to tell you the story of my high school best friend, Casey, of I was hanging out in his room, and I noticed a CD, and it was the M people album. I'm like, what's the M people doing? Yeah, you tried claiming it was lent to him, and it was a gift as up. And years later, he would reveal that he actually had purchased, the thing, but that's such shame was bought from Santa. No, Casey wasn't a steal, it would have been hummed. I was at Greensboro shopping, sending it yesterday. I had to send it in there? No, no. But I walked past the price line, but it used to be a brushes, and I'd have had for some reason, it just hit me. These vivid memory of brushes was there, and I missed it. How going to buy a plaza? You'll never find a more wretched high-discovered villainy. It's a weird shopping centre that there's no real purpose for it. No. It just exists. It doesn't even have really great shops. But at least it's three levels, you don't have to walk far. Yeah, but it's got the weird ramps long, you're going to walk one end to the other. Do the person who designed Doncaster Design Greensboro with the weird ramp system? It makes sense. Doncaster doesn't, you think, I'm going up here, I think. But you're not. And then you're not, no. It's sort of like... And where are some estuary? Where are all the parks at Doncaster Shopping Centre? Go to hell, Doncaster. You're going to pay for their parking. Yeah. Then we got some accent work. I call it casual racism. Well, shame on you. It was a different time. Then it was time for the duck. And there, the rush in the duck. To see what the prize was? The main prize. Paul Sarcu, one of my previous life's work, as in the design, the decalonica. Chris came out and Paul Chris, he was actually looked like he might have had a bit of fun with them, but they gave you no to my life. No, it's going to spin the wheel. So get out, spin the wheel. Him and Plucker did punch on a little bit. They were in front up to each other. Paul Chris, he spins and gets 22, which is the barbecue's galore. Not a bad thing. Not a car. No, and then he plucks and gets four, which is the echo of garden power. The young bloke doesn't... Leaf Blowering him. Doesn't want to leave Blower unless he's setting up her. Oh, Jim's mowing. Yeah. And I tell you, at all time iconic song of a 90s jaunty, his boys demand end of the road. Girl, that's all I got. Yeah, you couldn't escape this back in the day. Still can't. You get to any shopping center. So these dudes loading up their napkins in the shopping center and wearing a tie, and this song's playing on the road. I don't think they're wear ties, right? I get to wear polos now. And Paul Joe prior to this, she was going to go for an egg joke, but Darryl stepped on it and killed it. And I think we should be playing Josie. We're not going to play sweet, sweet Ricky today. We're just going to keep... Yeah, we didn't even get... We didn't even get out credits for this. They'd literally finish boys to men and they were done. Because I was gone too. Yeah, no, no, I listened to all of this. And that's the end of the road for Hay Hay, it's the podcast.
