Welcome to Motley Fool Money, it's Sunday, it's special, it's stupendous, it's strawman, it's Scott, it's other things with S and A and P. Because I'm joined by Andrew Page, the man better known to the more discerning members of society as Ram Page.
Such is what befit, you know that's about screw Turner, the people who are known better by their nicknames and their real names. That is the life that this man lives, and it's because he managed to create not only a unicorn, a business as well, let's not put too fine a point in it, one of the most valuable businesses in the universe, but also he's a good bloke alongside it. Mr. Page, how are you?

**Andrew Page** (0:47)
I think you need to Google what unicorn means, because you might be under a apprehension there.

**Scott** (0:53)
Isn't it a billion-dollar startup? Yeah. Oh, sorry, 10 unicorns. Sorry, I'm a soldier. Sorry, man, 10 unicorns. A paddock, a veritable...
What's the... When they're in... Horses and harness, what are they called? Is there a name for that? Surely there is, I should know it. Anyway, there you go. Lots of unicorns in the straw man paddock.

**Andrew Page** (1:12)
All I'll say is I didn't work my fingers to the bone for 10 years to create an imaginary unicorn, but then you're not to get it right.

**Scott** (1:22)
My humble apology, Mr. Page, I will take four weeks off and learn. This is our very final pre-recorded episode. Again, they're all pre-recorded, so the usual joke. But by the time you're here next Friday's episode, good Lord willing, the creeks don't rise. I'll be back in, speaking back in Harness, I'll be back in Harness at home. My holiday will be over, but we've pre-recorded four weeks. We hope you've enjoyed the last four weeks of episodes. Assuming again, the greglins haven't got to them, they've actually gone out when they're supposed to.
Link, our extraordinarily good producer, will make sure that happens, I'm certain. If it doesn't happen, it'll be well outside his control. But mate, hands will roll. Hands will roll. I will thank you again, mate. You've put a lot of work in over the past few weeks to do extra episodes so we can get these out for our listeners. So thank you for making the time and the effort. You are under the weather. If you listen to our episode, front of the 26th of June, we're recording the two episodes back to back, and you've been under the weather, mate.
I don't want people to think the man flu has lasted for four weeks. That might be a bit much.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:14)
Right.

**Scott** (2:15)
Suffice to say, you are hopefully and the man well and truly by now in the real world, but in the internet time, you're still croaking. Thank you for spending an hour with us doing this.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:25)
Oh, good. Oh, good.

**Andrew Page** (2:26)
There's always enough fire in the belly to push through the pain, to have a good spray and a good rant.

**Scott** (2:32)
I'm just saying if we could find a way to channel that, we wouldn't need renewable energy.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:35)
That's very much the world's energy problem solved right there.

**Scott** (2:41)
All right. Should we carry on with the question?

**Andrew Page** (2:42)
Let's hit them.

**Scott** (2:44)
All right. James sends an e-mail saying, hi, team. Given the recent efforts at bestowing praise at the foot of the pod machine, I feel anything I can offer will come up short. It has become a very high bar. Now, what I love, James, you could have stopped it, but you didn't. You pushed on, because that's what, frankly, you know we expect and also what we deserve. So that's very good of you. He says, that said, I have kids.
Now get ready for this analogy, Roman, decide whether it's appropriate for us. And for some reason, says James, can't but help think of the penguin in Happy Feet, where everyone trudges to the top of the mountain for wisdom and lobs a pebble on the pile.
I'm not sure which of you is Lovelace the penguin, but I add my pebble. Thank you, James. I have not seen the movie. So, Roman, if you have a view as to whether it could be Lovelace for free. I don't think I have either. There you go. Yeah. Lovelace will be, maybe metaphorical. Maybe we're both Lovelace. Maybe we're two sides of the same coin. Who would know?

**Andrew Page** (3:38)
I've got no context to go in here.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:40)
It could be good, it could be bad.

**Andrew Page** (3:42)
James is going to roll with it, James.
