Wherever you get your podcasts or the, what's the website?
I just say a Patreon.
That is what I meant.
Thanks, Mark.
Thanks, Mark.
Any time.
You're listening to the Honeydonner podcast.
The greatest fucking podcasts in the world.
Bro, and my attack and sometimes a guest, we hope you enjoy the motherfucking podcast.
Bad news.
Welcome to the podcast, everyone.
The Hankidonna podcast.
You went straight in with the bad news, bro.
Well, I don't know how we're going to.
I think it's important.
don't want anyone sitting here going, this feels like good news, they need to know straight
up, bad news.
And it would be good if it was a compliment sandwich.
Yeah.
So could you start with?
It doesn't have to be huge.
Some good news?
Yeah.
Hi, hi listener.
Singular.
Singular listener.
Yeah.
That's the trick.
That's the radio trick.
I'm not talking to dozens of people.
I'm talking to one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm talking about dozens of listeners.
Yeah, because it's important to know that we have a, like a, I, you know, I'm talking to, you all.
an army of four.
Right.
You're losing them
with the bad news off the top.
Yeah.
So we've got to get them back on.
We got down to three.
All right.
First thing.
You know, firstly, I've said some horrible things about you in the last few
podcasts.
What did I say?
Did I say I was going to chop off their nose?
Yeah.
Zax.
I've really turned on the face.
He's starting to threaten.
Of course.
So my good news is, I've softened on that.
I've come to appreciate.
the wonderful fan base that we have
and how warm and kind you are
and supportive you are.
I love you guys.
The way you support all three of us.
Yes.
Which brings us to the bad news.
Zach killed Mark.
I chopped off his nose, he bled out.
Well, you've got to follow through on a threat.
So you had zero to someone.
Yeah.
But the good news.
Good news.
The completion of the sandwich is we have
for the third time, I believe,
a new mark
mark
and so we have big thick mark
and we have American mark
and now we have
American Mark
Mark 2
yeah yeah and I hope that I don't get killed
it doesn't you know history shows
that I'm still at danger but I'm
I gotta be really clear
when I chopped off Marks and I thought
he was one of our fans on Reddit
sure who had done a valid
criticism of like a sketch with
Yeah.
And I just was like, I snapped.
You got to get rid of him.
He just said, oh, I didn't like this one as much as there other stuff.
I think he was talking about a sandwich as well.
Like, he was talking about a sandwich from Subway.
Just unrelated to the podcast.
Yeah.
I didn't like this one.
And I just went, ah, and I chopped off his nose and he bled out.
And you were like, oh, that was Mark.
That was, oh, my God, that was Mark.
He wasn't even talking about, you know, he wasn't even doing a Reddit comment.
And the Reddit community is actually really positive as well.
Yeah.
I often confuse Reddit comments for something someone is saying in real life.
I'm like, ah, it's crazy.
It just happens like that sometimes.
Do you have an upvote in real life?
Rarely.
I like to be selective with mine, you know.
Someone makes me laugh really hard.
I will just, at the end of laughing, like, oh, upvote.
Upvote that.
You guys see this?
That's an upvote.
You guys hear this?
You guys see this?
Come over here.
Jeff, say that again.
Santa's the original Redditor in that he just gifts everyone.
Like, it's like he really likes your comments.
I thought, because he's wearing.
wearing red. I was like, whoa. Yeah, yeah. He's a red. I gotta be honest, bro, and that's exactly
where I went as well. We're crazy here. It's like, you think he's the first person to wear red?
That's so good, Mark, but that you know that Santa originally wore green. Did he really? Yeah.
But in 1950s, a certain company, let's do a quiz. Let's turn this into a quiz show. Yeah, I love
this. This is sort of like one of them British shows where they're like, which did you know? And then
Like, sort of, it's that fish one?
You know, the fish one?
Like, something like a fish?
Yeah.
Or there's nothing like a, I don't know.
I know what you're talking about.
I don't know what it's called.
You just had a really successful Edinburgh, yeah.
So did you have a lot of meetings with British people being like,
we've got to get you on a panel show?
I didn't have one meeting with one British person.
Really?
You had the Auntie Donner experience.
That's good.
They saw me and they were like, well, we get it.
All right.
I don't know how we can put that on a panel show.
I don't know.
How can he answer questions and then be a bit funny?
We only like one American to sit on the end and say you guys are crazy.
Pretty limited range, in it?
Yeah, yeah.
So what the fuck are we?
Oh, yeah.
So it's that show where the writers of QI say facts that they learn.
Yes.
Santa was not always red.
And then he got mad.
And then you guys have to guess why.
And then he got mad, that's good.
Yeah, that's good.
I'm going to just like throw out a guess.
Yeah, please, just a wild guess.
Was it, he was turned red because of a marketing campaign for Coca-Cola.
yes
wow wow that's crazy
I didn't know that I was just guessing
that is it's funny because I do think he is
intrinsically linked with Coca-Cola
but I'm like you can't really just
it's like if I were just like I'm working for
subway and we were trying to do a thing
with the Easter Bunny's like that's our guy now
you can't just do that we're just gonna make him
like wear the bread hat
yeah now and then and then in a hundred years
we're like you know Easter Bunny didn't always wear
a bread hat
he used to be a religious icon actually
yeah um american mark mark two can you take us through the bread brands can we compare bread brands by
country oh sure yeah uh we got sarah lee hang on wait okay oh time what the fuck
whewoooooo wow okay that's my that's the time out alarm yes that's more than just the
confused with the police alarm which sounds very similar but it's two different things
the time out alarm is good news is coming okay so that's the subtle difference good news is coming
because we want to have a chat about that.
Okay.
But it's a good alarm.
This shows 900 episodes in
and our audience,
whenever they hear that alarm,
they just know good times are coming.
Yeah.
It's wee,
wee, we're, it's a pitch difference.
It is a subtle pitch.
Same note, but like an octave.
It's just a little high.
Wee, woo, uh-oh.
Okay.
We've trained our audience
like a Belgian Malinui's army dog.
You know, oh, good chats coming now.
Yeah. Yeah.
Serrily bread.
Yeah.
Tell me about Sarah Lee.
So they have a slogan, nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee.
And it's just, I know it is like the sandwich bread where it's like if you make like a P.B&J, that's just the standard Sarah Lee.
What the fuck?
So it's like just the easy, like, I mean, do you have Wonderwhite in?
No.
I mean, we have Wonder Bread, which is probably similar.
It might be like a TJ Max, TK Max thing
where it's like the same bread
But different branding for different countries
No, I think it's like
What's one to...
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Sorry, I only learned you with bread truck.
So, Serely, in this country,
Yeah.
Mark Mark 2
Is a dessert range.
What do you mean?
Sweet pies.
Sticky date pudding.
Puddings.
Chok Bavarian.
It's got to be the same company.
Has to be.
Yeah.
But they're just like,
we don't do bread over there
and in America
they're like
we only do bread
they don't do cakes
I mean it's possibly
I think they probably do
cakes
I just don't know them
as a cake company
because there's a scene
in maybe they don't
catch me if you can
there's a scene
in catch me if you can
this is when
Spielberg was peak
like product placement
where two FBI
agents come to meet
his mom
and they're like
we're sorry
your son's a con man
but before they do that
she's like
can I get you some
Sarah Lee
and they're like
oh sure sure
And then she's like, oh, here's my Sarah Lee.
He's like, oh, I love Sarah Lee.
Like, no joke.
She's like Sarah Lee over and over.
Two minutes saying where they're just talking about how good Sarah Lee is.
It's funny because I'm now, I'm like, in the U.S., when that movie came out where people were like, can I get you some bread?
What a weird offer.
Yeah, exactly.
So that there's, but you know, if you're like the brand, because if I said Starbucks, we would all say.
Coffee?
Cake.
Sure.
No, in this country, Starbucks is.
Starbucks does coffee?
Interesting.
That's crazy.
Can I do a joke?
Is that really the tone of this podcast
I could give you the framing of it
It's about McDonald's being a place
Where that makes missiles
Okay, I'm in
I mean it's on topic and I love that
Yeah
And it's about the way McDonald's food makes you feel
And what you have to do after having McDonald's
Interesting
I'm seeing
I'm starting to go off it
You're off of it
Sounds a little brown
It is brown
I'd love to see where it goes
Okay
Here take your headphones off
You can turn away
If you don't want to.
Yeah, I'm going to just block my ears.
And if it's good.
Yeah, I'll listen.
Zach, you don't listen.
And then you tell me if you think he should listen.
Now, I don't like rude.
I like sexy rude.
I don't like gross rude.
Okay.
So like Rihanna rude, you're like, uh...
Farrelly brothers, rude.
Okay.
Kind of the up.
Yeah, that's the rude spectrum.
Zach has three loves.
He has his, uh, Spielberg 2010's film, 20,000's films.
He's Christ.
and what's your third?
Rihanna Rood
So if Rihanna, we're in a movie
about The Life of Jesus
directed by Stephen Spiebocker
you'd be like, and it was made in the 2000s
I'd be like sign me right up to that.
Yeah, it's Ponder replay era Rihanna
in a Spielberg film
that's a little bit too long
but for some reason
she's playing the Christ our Lord
yeah, yeah, sign me right up for that.
We gotta get that minority
report edit.
Was she ever in one of them live
Jesus Christ
broadcasts with John Legend or anything?
Oh, Jesus Christ Superstar?
Yeah, I think so.
That would have been good.
Yeah.
Yeah, I watched that one.
I watched that one.
I would have loved it because, yeah, yeah.
Because she'd be in it.
Yeah.
You'd like, that's my thing.
That's my thing.
Okay, close your.
All right.
Zach, can you hear me?
No.
Well, that.
Okay.
All right, proceed.
I've had to do a few evacuations after McDonald's.
Up vote
Yeah
Okay, so
I feel like you can sit
You can hear now
Yeah, I can hear now
You want to try that again
Oh what do you
What do you think
I should do it
I don't think he's gonna like it
But I think he'll appreciate
Because you didn't like it
I like it I gave it an up vote
Oh yeah, that's true
Yeah, sorry yeah
You gave it an outvv vote?
One of my rare real life uptiv votes
As a comedian I do prefer an upvote to a laugh
Yeah. Like it means more for my career.
When you're on stage and you hear people laughing, so they're like, oh, okay.
But if someone says, up vote very loudly, you're like, that means something.
That's good. That's really good.
That's really good.
I like a crowd in unison just saying, up vote.
More than laughing?
Oh, more than laughing.
No, no, I do prefer laughing.
I think a crowd yelling upvote in unison, if I'm being honest, because I thought we were riffing.
If I'm being honest, a crowd saying upvote in unison to every joke I make
might create some rhythm issues for the show as a whole.
It might.
It might.
We once had a show in Vancouver where, I don't even remember how,
but halfway through the show,
they just got on this thing about that there were snakes on the ground
and they just kept going and slithering.
And like, I think I reacted to it initially.
but then the Canadian people just
loved it
and for the rest of the show
like a contingent of the audience
would fucking not stop slithering
I think that would drive me nuts
and I would have to be like
all right I'm stopping
I have to address this
but it's like
that sort of balance of like
I want to be funny in addressing this
but I also want you guys
cut it out
that's how I felt on that fateful day in Vancouver
and how real I am become death
destroy over the world
when he was like yeah do the snake thing
and they're like 20 minutes in
I could say he was just like,
what have I had no Oppenheimer felt.
Exactly.
We're touring there later this year,
and I'm starting to see comments of snake emojis.
And I'm like, they're fucking going to do it again.
Like, this is going to transcend from 20203 to 2025.
What you got to do is you got to come out at the beginning to say,
so we're from Australia.
And we have a thing there where we bring out a bat and we beat snakes to death.
Yeah.
So just so you know, everywhere we go,
if we see a snake, we have to beat it to death.
And if we talk about Serely,
That's fucking cake, all right?
Yeah.
Those are our two caveats.
Now get ready for the show.
Who will beat you to death.
Like a snake.
Like a snake.
Do you want to hear the joke?
I'm nervous.
I'm really nervous.
But shoot me.
Shoot it.
So McDonald's make missiles.
I've added a little, you know, preamble.
McDonald's make missiles?
Well, I've had a few evacuations after going there.
You can't.
You kind of stumbled it a little bit that time.
I don't know if...
Broden?
That is the first time
I've ever gotten on board with a Farrelly
Brother's rude joke.
Okay.
Wow.
There's a third Farley brother in town.
It's a gateway joke to more rudeness.
Broden, are you Ricky Steniki?
Because sign me up.
Because of one of the Farreleys directed
Ricky Stincki.
Yeah, yeah, because that,
was good.
Did you see Ricky Stenicki?
I did not.
So it's a show about some American...
Ricky Steniki.
They have a fake friend called Ricky Steniki.
Right.
Then they meet Ricky Stenickey.
But Ricky Stenickey is John Sina.
Yes.
Would you believe that that American movie about American people
was all shot in Melbourne?
It was?
Yeah.
Do they ever address that?
Or is it just like, it's just here?
So at one point they go to Atlantic City.
And if you have not been to Atlantic City, even if you have been, you know, you'd just be like, well, that was an establishing shot of Atlantic City.
Maybe there is a theater like that.
Or maybe there is.
But when you're from Melbourne, you're like, well, they're in the, they're at Crown Casino.
Whatever movies or TV shows do that, I'm always just like, is there a reason you can't just say we're in Australia?
Is it like
Are they like
Americans are going to be like
Well I don't want to watch this movie
About it's not about America
Having made a show about Australians
Living in America
Yeah they don't like us
Interesting
Yeah
Australians like Americans are like
Famously not fans of us
Huh
No Americans they all think we're ugly people
They're so stinky ugly
That's the impression America
That's what they say
When they're on Netflix
It's like stinky ugly
Stinky ugly
You know how under it says
absurd irreverent whatever
Under us it says
Stinky ugly.
Stinky Ugly.
They go,
Oh, Australia, that's where stinky ugly people like Margo Robbie come from.
Yuck.
Nicole Kidman.
Nicole Kidman.
Yuck-oh.
But we're going to compare, we're going to bring to Mark Mark 2 an Australian bread after this ad break.
Welcome back.
Now, I would like to put forth, what bread should we present first?
It's tough.
I mean, it's really tough.
Ever since the Sarah Lee
Serra Lee Gate, I'll call it.
Sure, which is what it's called on you. It's the Wikipedia section on you.
Yeah, I'm really processing this whole thing that Sarah Lee does bread.
Is it sweet bread?
No.
But it's not, it's like, it's that goes down easy.
It's a white bread that you, that you...
I'm sure they do other types of bread, but to me it's just white bread.
It's not like a fancy bread.
No, no.
No.
This is like basement level, just like the kind of thing that's like,
oh, you come home from school and your mom's making sandwiches, it's,
Sarah Lee. Is it delicious?
To my reckon, yeah. Yeah, I think so.
I got a soft spot for that kind of bread. Yeah, I would eat that bread.
I reckon Sarah Lee would know how to deliver on that kind of bread.
Yeah. That's what I love about Sarah Lee. You know, they're so yum and fun.
Nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee. No, no, nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee.
Nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee. Is that the...
That's the slow, yeah. So you can't say everybody like it's different.
It's different. Nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee.
That sounds to me like they're saying nobody loves it, though.
Yeah.
Nobody doesn't like Sierra Leigh.
Yeah, it's, you're not going to find, it's a, you know, it's a rotten tomatoes 100.
You're not going to find anyone who's like against it, but no one's like, this is the greatest.
Yeah.
It's like when McDonald's has one billion served, you know how some of them?
It's like, I don't think that's a good thing, guys.
I would much rather, like, we've served 20 people and it was awesome.
Yeah, we have a dedicated fan base of four.
All right, Brett, Broden, we go talk how good.
That's what I was thinking, Helgas.
Helgas.
Helgas is like, how do I talk about hoggers?
All right, so you've got Sarah Libre.
Sure.
On one end of the spectrum.
And then you've got fancy sour dough on the other end of the spectrum.
Oh, just to jump into your American language.
Please.
You've got a Ralph's, then you've got a Gelson's.
Oh, okay.
Very much understood that.
See how that brought Mark Mark II to life?
Yeah, you got it.
And I love that because I also was thinking, so that's so, so,
specifically L.A., and so specifically my sub-L.A.,
that there would be Americans who were like,
wait, you've lost me now.
Well, one time, that's because, right,
in the area where we used to live,
there was a 99-cent store-type grocery store,
then there was Ralph's.
Yeah.
And then there was Gelson's all within a few blocks of one another, right?
Was Galsons across from the Celebrity Center,
the Scientology Celebrity Center?
Up on, like, a Los Feliz Boulevard kind of,
that kind of area.
And when we first moved to the area,
This is like we saw it.
Wait, there is a, there is a Gelson's across me.
Yes.
I thought so.
Yeah, I remember.
I remember I would see the Celebrity Center.
And when we were there, they were doing a screening of Jurassic Park.
And I thought, man, I could watch Jurassic Park.
I could get some connections.
What could go wrong?
That's how they get some.
I was in a bad place.
You're like, wouldn't you like to start in the next Jurassic Park?
Oh, yeah, I guess I would.
Do you guys know anyone that knows people in Jurassic Park?
Everyone.
Oh, wow.
So one time we saw Angelina Jolie in Gelson's.
Yeah.
But so we were like shopping.
Like this is great.
They've got fresh fried chicken.
They got pizzas.
They got yummy.
All the food is nice.
And then I got to the counter.
It was like $400 for a weekly shop.
That's right.
And then we learned that you don't go to Gelson's.
You go to Ralph.
Yeah.
In Australia, there's a duopoly.
Which is like a monopoly, but two.
Yeah.
So we played two games at once.
Right.
Like spinning plates above hands.
Yeah.
I'm losing this one, but I'm doing great over here.
It's a game of monopoly that ends, like, one step earlier.
It's two people like, we're good here, yeah.
If you're happy there, well, I'm happy.
Kind of peaceful.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Coles and Woolworths are the two grocery stores here.
So when you go to the UK or you go to America and you're like, you've got multiple options,
we don't understand that.
That's wild to me.
Is there a comfort in just being like, oh, I know this store very well, though?
Or is it just like, I wish I had more options.
No, because they change it up a lot
because they've got so much power.
They'll like, they change the layout every six months
of every Coles and Woolworth store
so that you never know where the milk and bread is
so that you get lost and buy more things.
That would piss me off and also work.
I just be like, oh, I guess I need coconut water too.
Yeah, you do.
You're just like, oh, wow, yeah, I can take this.
And they do stuff like they go,
did you know that you can get these Sarah Lee's 50% off?
And you go, great.
And then you look under it,
And it says, actually, they're the same price they always were.
And then you go, why did you do that?
And they say, fuck, you're going to do about it.
Yeah.
And then they do a little bit of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, very much so.
But we just found out.
So we also have, I mean, this is maybe boring.
This topic is maybe not punny.
I thought you were just having an epiphany about the entire podcast.
It's like, this way, I don't think people like this.
We suck.
We're not good at comedy.
Should we just wrap this up?
Go to bed?
I'm going to go teach. I'm going to go teach.
But what is it? I'm sure it's a bit funny.
It's the Bunnings thing. No, not funny at all.
Bunnings. So we also, so we have a duopoly of supermarkets, but we have a monopoly of home
hardware stores.
Really?
So we got one that's called Bunnings.
But Bunnings has been so successful in like, like people are proud of Bunnings.
They do a sausage sizzle.
Saturday. So every
bunnings out of every bunnings, you can get a
sausage and some Sarah Lee-style
white bread. Wow. That would work on
me. Yeah, and everyone's... I love bunnings now too.
Yeah, everyone loves bunnings, right? It's like Trader
Joe's. No, is it? No.
Like more of a hardware store. What do you, what would
you say? Like a Home Depot? Yeah, so...
But there's only Home Depot. Imagine
only Home Depot. That's Bunnings. That's hell to me.
I don't want to live any country that only has a Home Depot.
Well, then they can set whatever prices they want.
Yeah. Which I guess is funny.
I guess it's funny
It's making me laugh
Yeah
Doesn't Kmart also do
like home goods
Yeah
Well
Thank you for asking
Mark Mark Mark too
Yeah
Mark Mark Mark too
American Mark
Mark T is
As some call me
Yes
AMT
AMT
AMT
Kmart is different
Because you can go to
Kmart and get
like groceries
Yeah
Yeah.
No, not here.
Or I guess, well, yeah, here.
Like chips, yeah?
I think so.
There's not a lot of Kmart's in the U.S.
No, not in the Walmart.
Walmart, yes.
That's, yeah.
I don't know if they're connected.
I don't think so.
Kmart's got ANCO, though.
Kmart has a home brand that people love.
And in fact, in Singapore, I know this will be funny.
Kmart's home brand is doing so well on TikTok that they've opened.
It's called Ankhart.
They've opened Anko stores in Singapore.
Stand-alone stores for the brand.
That's funny, yeah.
Downboat.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
That one doesn't work for me as much.
We're down to zero and it's blue now.
You can get back up.
I believe in you.
Yeah, well, we're going to talk about Helga's bread.
That's really going to pull us out of this.
People at home, by the way, are listening, just like, you're just explaining things that I already know to an American.
We've got some American listeners.
And they're like, you're not.
not explaining things I don't know to me.
Yeah, yeah.
To the Australians, they're like,
this is more information that I need.
To the Americans, not enough.
Yeah.
And the Brits, they just feel completely isolated.
What's all this then?
What are you doing?
They're grieving.
What are you talking about beans?
I watched...
So you've lost the two of them now.
I watched a
hour and a half
YouTube documentary the other day
about the minute-by-minute fallout
of the Queen's death.
hour and a half long YouTube video
about the minute by minute
so what was that like fallout
yeah just like Queen's sick at 12 o'clock
1210 they let the Prime Minister know
121 they start to let the BBC know she's sick
she dies at like 3 o'clock in the afternoon
where's Harry where's William
who's on the private jet who's there when she died
I watched that for an hour and a half
that sounds sick I thought they did so
you know credit where credit is due
not a fan of monarchy
but they did so well
with just slipping the new king in there
they were just like
hey can we all just agree
we're not gonna talk about
about the queen
for the next couple of weeks
and everyone was like
okay
and they're like
oh and the king's the portrait
of the king
it is weird to like
live to have a lifetime
where it's just like
England has a queen
that's the thing
that you've accepted
and then just suddenly be like
it's a king now
and I'm subconsciously just like
I don't like that
I'm like that feels off
you're like
wait is this a monarchy
You're like, hey, wait a minute.
I thought you guys were joking about that whole thing.
I thought it was just a...
It's like a mascot.
And it's like, when they say king, I'm like,
there's a guy now?
Yeah.
I don't know about that.
It's weird casting.
Like, it's not what you should do in 2025.
You can't gender flip that way.
No, no.
It was so progressive in the 50s with the queen.
Yeah.
Hey, it was woke.
It's a 20-year-old queen.
She's pretty.
She's fun.
She's cool.
And now we're going with an old guy?
I don't know about that.
I don't know about that.
Come on.
It's like Doctor Who.
It's like, I don't know.
Do you know all of this in this room is the Kings?
All as in, this is the King's hat?
He's in charge of all this.
He's technically his hat.
I did forget that.
I came here and they had a King's birthday while I was in Sydney.
I was like, what are you talking?
What king?
And it's not even his birthday.
It's not?
No, it's the same day.
So it was the Queen's birthday now.
It's the King's birthday.
That's, was it, I hate that.
No, his birthday.
That's stupid.
It should change.
I mean.
I don't, so it's just like every, if the king dies and they're like, here's the queen again, they're like, it's still the same birthday.
It's the concept of a birthday.
We celebrate their birthday.
That's so dumb.
But I think it was already at 100% dumb.
So like celebrating, taking a day off for the queen king's birthday, already at 100% dumb.
So when someone said, we should change the date to be more convenient to our lives, everyone was like, well, it's no more dumb.
Yeah.
We're already at 100.
I think then I'm just like, stop calling it.
birthday. Just call it like Kings Day or whatever, which I'm always like, that's insane, but
no, no, that makes more sense. Yeah, but I think just birthday is the thing that gets me. It's like,
we're all going to buy presents for the Kings like, thank you. My real birthday is in two months,
so make sure to get another present. Now that you come, sorry, we forgot. Now I come to mention
it, you come to mention it. I don't think I've ever seen the king or queen say, thanks for
celebrating my birthday. Yeah. Nor have I seen anyone ever say, happy birthday king. It's
more just like I'm not going to work. I hear people say it, but just when it's my birthday.
Happy birthday king. Happy birthday king. And then they just move on. Is this at like a Chuckie
Chucky cheese? Yeah. I go to the Chuckie cheese at 32 years old and they call me King.
There's a story of, you said someone ahead. She's like, hey, when the next guy comes in,
can you call him King? Can we really appreciate it? Is there any way to program the
animatronics to say, happy birthday king? No, unfortunately we can't do that, but we can have this
17 year old boy say
that he's a gig. Yeah, I think he'll be
okay with that. That'll work for him.
When we were making a show
over there, the director of the show, Max, and
now the main music man, Tom,
next door to our head
production office in Glendale, was
a Shakey's. Oh, yeah. Shakey's Pizza.
Yeah, and they went there for lunch,
and then the whole crew were like, where is the
director? They went to Shakeys, and they're like,
oh, God, no. Oh, God, no. Because it's the equivalent of
like, Pizza Hut store,
worse. Yeah, I don't know anyone who's gone to a shakies on purpose, but I do think it's,
it's one of those things that it's just invisibly everywhere in L.A., but I couldn't tell you
anything about it, like, culturally, or what the food tastes like or what, it's just like, it's
not high enough for it to be like, like, also just pizza in general, it's like, I don't think a lot
of people are like, let's go out for pizza. So I feel like it's the kind of thing where
if you end up there, it is on purpose for a child or a thing of convenience. I just, I'm like,
I, yeah. I wouldn't be like, oh, no, but I would be like, interesting.
I would love to hear what their experience is.
American Mark Mac 2.
Yes.
We are five years behind you.
So at the moment, we're doing this thing in Australia.
We love American-style foods, right?
So we're doing a thing called diners at the moment.
I love that.
So that's a place where you get like pancakes and breakfast.
Are you familiar with that?
I am familiar.
And also, just knowing that you're five years behind,
I have to warn you guys about COVID.
You got to. Look out.
We had that.
It was awful.
Yeah.
But we were about six months behind on the COVID.
Yeah, we were.
We had a little bit of a heads up.
Didn't they feel like you guys, like you did quarantines, right?
Yeah, hotels and stuff.
We left America.
Like I stole a bunch of hand sanitizer from our post studio.
We were editing our show and then I just got to the airport with it.
That's your strongest memory of COVID.
Yeah, it was.
I just remember LA was falling apart
Like it was fucked that week
And then coming back
But then it was fine
Yeah
No yeah
Bounce back within days
Like oh this
LA's not looking good
It's like
Day light up good
All better
Dancing in the street
But
What was I going
What the fuck was I talking about
Your COVID experience
Yes well the diners
I missed the dinners
So they've started doing them
But they're too expensive right
So what's the hot food in America
Right now
That everyone's like
You've got to go
that you've got to go to this new place.
When you say hot food, bro.
Not spicy.
And not like warm.
The it food.
Because warm, so you can't be an ice cream.
Doesn't matter the temperature.
It can be what is the...
Can't be a gazpacho.
Yeah.
Whatever it's a spacho.
Are you using hot in a different way?
Yeah, in like a...
Cool.
Oh, cool.
Hot meaning cool.
Yeah, what's the hot meaning cool food at the moment?
I am.
I'm even trying to figure that.
I feel like...
I am so bad at exploring foods, but I feel like every so often there's, I mean, I feel like now the cool foods are trending in terms of like, oh, TikTok is talking about this one item that you go into a store where it's like people talking about Dubai chocolate.
And I'm like, I don't know.
Do buy chocolate.
It's like a weird thing.
That's the most TikTok thing I've ever heard.
Yeah.
Well, of course we do buy chocolate.
Oh.
Well, thank you.
