2025 Ep 298 - Blowing Crumpets Wide Open

Andy has run into a legal issue with the Worlds Tallest Hat, there’s been an influx of Extreme Empaths, and the boys put their social skills to the test with a new game. Hamish gets into trouble at NZ airport, and Andy reveals an insane fact about his dad that shocks Hame & Jack!  1. Tall hat liability 2. Extreme empaths 3. Social skills name game 4. Hamish’s run in with NZ customs 5. Andy’s Dad has never bought a TV 

Plans (and CAD’s) are well and truly underway for the Tallest Hat record attempt, but a concerning health risk has been flagged…Andy issues an apology song to Jack for reading out his humiliating golf scores, but how sorry is he really? More solid power moves have been sent in, and Hamish is humbled by a member of his ‘family’! 1. Tallest hat - a small health risk 2. Andy’s apology song to Jack 3. Power moves 4. In the Hertz family 

Promises were made by Hamish to secure a special guest for episode 300. Now that the milestone episode is here, we finally find out who the “chosen” guest is! Hamish has discovered that his wife, Zoe, enjoys policing the police. Andy shares an alarming message from the Tallest Hat WhatsApp chat. Plus, a Song Sleuth involving an Aussie classic, and we settle the debate no one asked for - who is the best team player in the vegetable world?  1. Episode 300 special guest! 2. Zoe policing the police 3. Tallest hat - how high!? 4. Song Sleuth - Waltzing Matilda 5. Vegetable team players 

Jack and his golf cart have been spotted in the wild! Hamish confesses his guilty sneezing habit, and the boys take on the dying art of company jingles in a “Jingle Joust!”. We go deep inside the Tallest Hat Dream Team WhatsApp for a very important brim-related discussion, and love is making Andy do strange things! 1. Jack In The Wild 2. Letting a sneeze off the chain 3. Jingle Joust 4. A tall swagman’s hat? 5. Partner requests 

The crumpets are warm and buttered as Hamish attempts to blow the crumpet industry wide open! Andy seeks help to get out of a sticky situation with Bec, so Hamish offers up his “Excuse Pro Member Services” to do the job. We check in with our resident Appleist, Brian, about the ‘Louis Vuitton’ of apples coming out of Australia, plus, inspired by the treasures of AM radio, Andy introduces a fun new game: “What Are They Trying to Clean?” 1. Crumpets Test 2. Bec Birthday Prank 3. Brian the Appelist 4. AM Radio Cleaning Game 

Hamish questions what actually constitutes “a monkey on your back,” and how many monkeys the average person might be carrying. Naturally, he turns it into a case study - guessing how many monkeys they are each carrying around right now! There’s a toothpaste ad that has Andy completely baffled, and after much anticipation (so much so that we almost forgot), Hamish finally reveals the next industry that he’s about to blow wide open! Andy also takes us inside the WhatsApp chat of our Tall Hat Dream Team to deliver a very important update! 1. Monkeys on our backs 2. Colgate ad stitch up 3. Inside the tallest hat WhatsApp chat 4. Crumpets investigation 

With barely any info to go on, Hamish dives headfirst into a “Wriggle Out” request from one of our listeners who’s desperate to dodge helping a mate move house. Andy spills the beans on something nerve-wracking he did in the car — and no, it definitely wasn’t a car poo! It also seems like it’s getting harder for you to stump us with a “Tell Us Someone” we haven’t thought of in ages, and there’s a “Song Sleuth” showdown featuring Katy Perry and another mega artist. Oh, and of course, the Weasel’s back at it — with another jumper taken hostage!  1. Wiggle out request 2. Tooting the police 3. Tell Us Someone We Haven’t Thought Of In A While 4. Jack ‘borrows’ another jumper 5. Song sleuth - Katy Perry vs. Drake 

After deciding we won’t be investing in any of the million-dollar business ideas you sent in (sorry, Shark Tank this is not), we’ve called in our favourite inventor and potential investor — our mate Horgs — to give some honest feedback on your pitches. Our World’s Tallest Hat quest rolls on, and we’re now on the lookout for a trustworthy panel who can officially verify our record-breaking attempt! We also compare Andy’s whirlwind trip to Old Mate’s pub in New York with Hamish’s… let’s say “unique” weekend. Plus, the fast and loose return to do what they do best — Upset Andy!  1. More million dollar ideas - with Horgs 2. Are you a trustworthy world record judge? 3. Upset Andy 4. Hamish at a cat show 

Hamish gives Andy and Jack some homework; an at-home test designed to act as a barometer for how healthy their relationships are! Power Moves are back in full force, and on a long road trip Andy discovered a funny fact about Hanson’s song “MMMBop”. Hamish reveals his bold attempt to dodge a red light fine, and puts a burning salsa theory to the test – is there really a difference between Doritos Hot and Medium?  1. The bird test 2. Sneezing through a red light camera 3. Power moves 4. MMMBop 5. Hot takes on hot salsa 

We meet the genius minds helping us bring the World’s Tallest Hat to life! We have a fresh batch of Extreme Empaths, and some shocking news — new $1 coins are being made, but somehow still none for us?! It’s officially been a year since we kicked off our campaign to get a dollar coin for the show, so it's time for a much-needed update. Also, Hamish has some strong (but fair) words for a few ice creams that need to lift their game. 1. Tallest hat dream team 2. Extreme Empaths 3. H&A coin confusion 4. Chocolate Magnums
