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...

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...

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.

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.

It struck a nerve (an erogenous one, no less) when we showed a lack of gusto in breaking the World’s Tallest Hat record — but your influx of great ideas has kept the dream alive. The wash-up from the Special Skills Conclave saw a groundswell of support for the “North Man” as the true Chosen One, and Hamish may have found a piece of evidence supporting this prophecy. Meanwhile, a long-forgotten promise from Hamish has somehow resurfaced on Andy’s weekend AM radio show, “The Mid Morning Cuppa”. Pl...

Hamish also reflects on the second most important selection of the week: the Federal Election. 1. Special Skills concla...
