All the boys were there, pop balloons and streamers and everything, and they're all dressed as different versions of me over my life.

A water boy! A water boy! Andy Lang!
Andy LeeGUEST
Guys, I cannot wait to hydrate you, okay? Just so you know, I've spent all day hydrating.
JosiahPANELIST
underdogs, Andy Lee, thank you so much
Andy LeeGUEST
I mean, I, I will say this, I was not surprised, but certainly didn't understand the impact when I saw the parents particularly-
Andy LeeGUEST
I've, then it was a friends of mine put together a TV show and asked me to act in it, and it's essentially James Bond if Bond was a New Zealander with zero resources.
Andy LeeGUEST
I wanted to get to a quarter time break because I was like, "Okay, this, the, the main man, or supposed main man, hasn't said a word yet." And then-
Andy LeeGUEST
And, um, another Carlton supporter, when we sat down to start, turned to me and went, "Why are we here? Why? We know what's gonna happen." And obviously, we didn't know-
Andy LeeGUEST
And that's why you go week in, week out, even if you don't have a chance, according to some people.
Andy LeeGUEST
Well, on, on that, like at the moment because there's so many ways to broadcast or to put something out there, there's, there's kind of two options for people that are just starting, which is be really entertaining or be controversial.
Andy LeeGUEST
You know, be- Instagram or TikTok, the more comments, the more it gets pushed out.
Andy LeeGUEST
So controversial is actually easier to get more eyeballs because it rage baits more people comment, which is I think a sad thing because just being funny or entertaining is a disadvantage 'cause people don't really go, "Ha ha, that's a good one." They're more likely to go...

Andy LeeGUEST
but that, but that's what I reckon's much better about season two, is the flair you added in season one, and we're like, "This is now working." Everyone from the get-go can write in your voice and Denise Scott's voice.
Andy LeeGUEST
I went, "Well, what do you mean?" He goes, "Well, we can either let them out or we could trap them in the house." So I was like, "No, I don't want to trap the intruders in.
Andy LeeGUEST
They said, "Well, what do you want to happen, like, audio-wise, when an intruder's in the house?"
NathHOST
Whipper should have stayed.
Andy LeeGUEST
A few years ago for the BBL, I was really excited to show off that I could kind of bowl.
Andy LeeGUEST
And I was wearing my loafers and I slipped on the turf and I bowled it so wide and it went for four wides.
NathHOST
You
Andy LeeGUEST
know what? I find this stuff so hard, not because it's hard to do the voice or something.
Aaron WoodsHOST
What was the event? What was the reason? So what would you get up to? Why was the reason you'd have the hungover show? What was the big night?
Andy LeeGUEST
... and she was the waitress, where I'd spent many times going out to pubs and clubs trying to find someone.
Andy LeeGUEST
And, um, my mate, who's a book publisher, uh, he convinced me after m- months of me saying no to, uh, publish the books.
Andy LeeGUEST
And then I said to my sister, you know, "Do you mind if I commercialize this book? It's meant to be a lovely gift." And she went, "It's fine." I said, "I'll give the proceeds to George." I've had to renegotiate with George.

Friday Huddle, take it away.
Andy LeeGUEST
But I said to the architect before we started, I saidWho, what will happen first, a Carlton premiership or this house being finished? And this was three and a half years ago.
Andy LeeGUEST
And, and he said, "Uh, I think the house being finished." And I said, "A Carlton premiership." God, we need to get in a hot run now.

Mickey RobertsCORRESPONDENT
You went headfirst.
Andy LeeGUEST
They actually had to rig my toboggan, um, with extra big straps because I wasn't gonna be able to hold onto the handles.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
And, and what did it mean to you to be able to do it, Andy?
Andy LeeGUEST
So yeah, some people wondered whether I was building direct access to the Burnley Tunnel just from my house so I can get down the coast quicker.
Andy LeeGUEST
Um, so I have been sending gifts around to them and, and regular cleans of windows.
Andy LeeGUEST
One lady actually asked for, uh, [laughs] one lady actually asked for, uh, noise-canceling headphones.
Andy LeeGUEST
And I said, "Sure." So I got her a pair, and I, then I went to the other houses to see if anyone would like noise-canceling headphones, I'm happy to provide.
speaker_6HOST
And I told her there's so many great suggestions out there.
Andy LeeGUEST
We, I'd, I'd ha- as I mentioned last night, I had gone down the path already of, uh, of having a, uh, a costume built.
speaker_11PANELIST
Mm
Andy LeeGUEST
... he's like, "Oh, can you send me a photo of you on a sleigh and give me all the measurements?" And not a very easy thing to, to, to, to get around the house.
Andy LeeGUEST
