HAMISH & ANDY EXTENDED INTERVIEW

Thanks heaps for chatting to us, guys! ANDY LEE: I promise to be as funny as Julian Assange. HAMISH BLAKE: He was coming straight for Andy’s bank account if Andy messed around. I imagine it was quite different to your Jeff Probst interview? HB: There was less sucking up and gushing from Assange’s perspective from Andy; none of Andy going “Oh my god I’ve been such a huge fan of yours – ever since your first leak. AL: I’ve got a suggestion for another leak! HB: Here’s a leak I’d love to see in the future. Have you guys ever read an issue of STACK Magazine before? AL: I have not, no. HB: Neither have I. But don’t feel bad about it because I haven’t read an issue of any magazine. What can you tell me about the Traxedo Edition – the best-dressed boxed set ever released? HB: I’m just going off the top of my head here, but nine shows, 13 discs, almost 30 hours of Hamish and Andy – and for the first time ever, two bobbleheads! But, like I said, I’ll have to fact check that. AL: It’s pretty much made for us. HB: Neither of us have a copy of our own shows. We don’t have a copy of that special we did a few years ago, Learn India, or any of the “reminiscements” where it was all our different bits and pieces  we showed on Rove . Now, finally,

I didn’t know the day we were doing the bobbleheads that it was gonna be a full body thing... so Andy’s in shoes and I’m in socks

AL: It’s pretty special – we actually have on good authority that they’re voodoo bubbleheads. HB: Please be nice – give us a head massage if you get one. AL: Manipulate us any way you want. HB: These are our original bobbleheads from the first series of Gap Year when were in America, and we had them on the desk and we took them around to a few different places. I didn’t know the day we were doing the bobbleheads that it was gonna be a full body thing; like you had to wear shoes, so Andy’s in shoes and I’m in socks. They like 3D-photograph you, and I just assumed that they would put sneakers on me but they didn’t... They put you up as you’re photographed, so I had socks for that whole series on my bobblehead. And then this was our chance to fix it, and we forgot, so we just sent the bobbleheads off to be redone and I’m in socks again.

we’ve got a copy for ourselves that we can put away and drag out and try and show our children in 30 years time – if we can ever track down a DVD player.

Tell me – what is it like to be immortalised in bobblehead form?

I’m now the second generation of bobblehead to remain shoeless.
