Starting point is 00:00:36 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.
Starting point is 00:00:56 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.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Some good news? Yeah. Hi, hi listener. Singular. Singular listener. Yeah. That's the trick. That's the radio trick.
Starting point is 00:01:18 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.
Starting point is 00:01:32 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
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:55 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.
Starting point is 00:02:10 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.
Starting point is 00:02:22 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
Starting point is 00:02:39 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
Starting point is 00:02:55 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:41 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.
Starting point is 00:03:53 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?
Starting point is 00:04:28 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,
Starting point is 00:04:39 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.
Starting point is 00:04:52 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.
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:39 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
Starting point is 00:05:55 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.
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:36 So, Serely, in this country, Yeah. Mark Mark 2 Is a dessert range. What do you mean? Sweet pies. Sticky date pudding. Puddings.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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
Starting point is 00:07:57 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
Starting point is 00:08:04 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
Starting point is 00:08:15 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
Starting point is 00:08:22 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.
Starting point is 00:08:33 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.
Starting point is 00:08:49 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
Starting point is 00:09:03 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
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:24 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:51 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:23 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.
Starting point is 00:10:34 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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
Starting point is 00:10:57 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
Starting point is 00:11:06 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
Starting point is 00:11:19 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?
Starting point is 00:11:41 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,
Starting point is 00:12:07 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
Starting point is 00:12:26 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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,
Starting point is 00:12:49 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.
Starting point is 00:13:05 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.
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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...
Starting point is 00:13:52 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.
Starting point is 00:14:06 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.
Starting point is 00:14:22 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
Starting point is 00:14:42 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:22 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:15:43 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.
Starting point is 00:15:55 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
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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.
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:41 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.
Starting point is 00:17:59 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,
Starting point is 00:18:14 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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?
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:17 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.
Starting point is 00:19:25 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.
Starting point is 00:19:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:54 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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?
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:02 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.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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
Starting point is 00:21:43 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...
Starting point is 00:21:59 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
Starting point is 00:22:17 Doesn't Kmart also do like home goods Yeah Well Thank you for asking Mark Mark Mark too Yeah Mark Mark Mark too
Starting point is 00:22:27 American Mark Mark T is As some call me Yes AMT AMT AMT Kmart is different
Starting point is 00:22:37 Because you can go to Kmart and get like groceries Yeah Yeah. No, not here. Or I guess, well, yeah, here. Like chips, yeah?
Starting point is 00:22:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:02 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
Starting point is 00:24:17 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
Starting point is 00:24:37 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
Starting point is 00:24:48 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
Starting point is 00:24:57 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
Starting point is 00:25:05 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,
Starting point is 00:25:18 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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.
Starting point is 00:25:38 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 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.
Starting point is 00:26:02 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.
Starting point is 00:26:18 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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
Starting point is 00:27:18 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
Starting point is 00:27:47 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,
Starting point is 00:28:03 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,
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.

Starting point is 00:29:24 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.

Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
