Aaron enlists the help of a podcasting friend

Aaron initially tries to use the megaphone but discovers that it has no batteries. After receiving some from the production team, he claims that the megaphone could be used as a battery holder, and initiates a mock conversation with Tom Cashman in which Tom asks for some batteries and Aaron claims not to have any, putting the megaphone back in his locker before leaving.

In the studio, having seen several of the other contestants’ attempts, Aaron says that he hadn’t realised that star power was allowed, or else he would have called Barack Obama. Instead, he admits that he’d “just got a mate” to help.

Aaron’s video shows Aaron and his friend in a podcast studio, both wearing puffer jackets. In a shrill voice, Aaron says “Every snowman needs a showman, and my showman’s name is Rowan Dix. He has the most heavenly voice in the world.” Rowan then says “How now, brown cow” into a microphone.

In the studio, Tom Gleeson claims that Rowan had sounded better than “Rebecca Gibney” (referring back to Rhys’ use of Cate Blanchett) and asks if he’s a voiceover artist. When Aaron says that he’s both a musician and a podcaster, Tom tells him to plug it. Aaron names it as “The Meeting Tree Podcast” before checking with Tom Cashman to confirm that he’d gotten it right.

Tom Gleeson notes that he doesn’t like podcasts in general, and awards Aaron 2 points.
