1. Our new idea 2. Merry Sticksmas 3. A whale of a time 4. Millilitre perfect 5. An appropriate gift 6. Super Rooster 

A list-knop production. Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and the podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. Oho, do you, hey Mish! Hello sir, I'm Ahoy Ahoy And Ahoy you, Jacko, Ahoy sir

And Ahoy to June, who is in Spain at the moment Cool Hmm Ahoy, hey Mish and Andy, happy birthday Andy This is June calling I'm currently watching the sunrise in the south of Spain In this little town called Estapona. I'm watching in the distance the coastline of Africa and yeah just hanging out really.

Great day. Great day. I'm probably making her way to catch up with James Blunt. I'd imagine in the zone. She's in the zone. She's in the zone. She's in the zone. She's probably a little more south, so she'd have to get a wriggle on if she wanted to get the Blunt Hotel themed house by lunch.

But I believe it just occurred to me listening to that. You're like, people could just start doing everything. Morning boys, just on the moon watching the sunrise at matcha-pitu here, meeting a hundred people in silence, listening to the podcast. You really could get away with anything. Now we do check the IP addresses of all the uploads.

Because we do. And that it's on a web-based system. You could tell from her voice that she was there, that was for real. Yeah. I mean, if we had the WhatsApp system be easy to upload the photos, we'll just one more quick. Barton I mean, if we had the WhatsApp system be easy to upload the photos, well, just one more quick.

But instead, the real model doesn't, it's head of admin, you have to add everyone. People can't just WhatsApp you. We can't have the number. That's how they would, that has, add us to their contacts and then boom, we're up. Okay. I'm home.

Can I, too easy? But still, too. We're not going to give out our show number. I just give you a phone, that has a, no, that's a number. You can do it. No, you just have, we've got a show phone. gonna give out our show number. I just give it a fine, that has a number. You can do it. No, we've got a show fine. We've got a show fine.

I think the easiest way for this not to be done is to put Havish in charge of it. You know what, I actually think the WhatsApp doesn't work because on the breakfast show that work on we try to do a WhatsApp group. Give him a plug. And it's the Krischurch on a breakfast show, a gold in Elmond.

It caps it off at 250 something, members. Mm. So, I mean, we could do it, but it would be the first 250 to get onto the WhatsApp. And then we can come anymore. And then sort of sound for years and years, though, for people telling us what they're up to.

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I feel so happy. I feel so happy. So we haven't had 256 applicants through the current very difficult system. Very simple. Crawling through Bam Dwa, getting straight with machine gun fire, getting you way through the minefield,

then put your thumb drive in. Hey, speaking of minefields, speaking of minefields, I know everyone is tuning in today to figure out which model have we picked for chicken fest. How are we going to pick Australia's favourite and best one-off chicken shop? And how are we going to celebrate it? And how are we going to celebrate the man-n-oats? You reckon it's fair to say that the motive behind what we wanted to do was getting lost in the rigmarole of the event. And that's where we got to last week, when you revealed to me some numbers which did not please by night.

No. Too many zeros, too many commas, too much red ink on those numbers. Quick refresher, if you're having less of the last episode of the podcast, you know, if it's been a week, it was climbing up those 100,000 for poor food. Didn't include chickens.

Didn't include flites to anyone coming. Didn't include herb security. And just for the basics that we would have to provide. and the poor food. The dinn'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n but Vodafone did reach out and said we'd like to sponsor it. Now thanks, Vodafone, but I feel like we got to. And there was a brewery there, he said we'll put the vent on our brewery. People were keen. I'm not saying people weren't keen. What I'm saying is, I think though the essence of it was, and this is what we talked about during the weekend when we both connected to the Bluetooth in our cars and called each other as we drove home from this very podcast

I mean we had the option of uploading an audio file to a And sending into each other but we found a simpler way We The there shouldn't be a winner Well, we realized isn't at the heart of this isn't there a glaring problem that is almost Unsolvable in the time frame in the manpower as've got, which is we cannot get to every store. Now we were, I liked our system of going off people's entries because we trust the people to be the judges, but it's so many great entries that have come out.

So how are you to choose just one chicken store? And so that is why we have chosen to go with the global phenomenon, synced up, lactile event for the first time ever, on one specific night, across Australia and the world. We encourage the listeners of the Hamish and Eddie podcast to back themselves, to back their nomination, to go to the store, they have nominated. Obviously this just works for the present stores, the in-memorium stores, we'll figure out a tribute to you guys. Go to the store that you think is the greatest one-off chicken shop in Australia or the world, where you're black tie, take a date, ladies in ball gown wear or black ties

to do whatever you want, but very fancy, Oscars dress code. Oscar's dress code. Don't eat a chicken shop. And if you go there and film at Tagus and we make a global social movement, every chicken shop that gets visited will receive the whole lot of chickens award for being as one of Australia's greatest chicken stores. They'll become, we'll send out a lot of trash. We'll send it into your awards. You have won a whole lot of chickens,

gold and chicken for being at an elite level and as a one off chicken shop. Now that seems like a much more democratic way to do it. You and I will pick one. Here we will. And we'll go to one. We'll pick one of the, we are but two men we cannot travel to do it. You and I will pick one. Yeah, we will. And we'll go to one. We'll pick one of the two men we cannot travel to every store. The, it'll be on the 21st of October.

Monday, the 21st of October is chicken fest. Right down everyone. 21st to the 10th. Or it might be in the morning if you're overseas. Yeah, it could be. I mean, we're gonna go for Eastern. 730 Eastern daylight savings timeaving Storm, Australian time. Yeah. That's when it'll kick off for us.

We'll arrive at our store, Black Tie. Black Tie. Yes. Of course. And we'll obviously get excited around whatever deals happening at that particular store. The offer stands too that if you're at the store, we go to, we think it's actually fairer to not mention the store we're going to. Keep your selection on us, go to the store you want to go to show them the support and the love

Yep, whenever store we go to chickens will be on the house and chips not trying to The house will be our house Well now it's on us, but for a second there We're trying to in the excitement of us visiting. I was trying to at least squeeze one free chicken out of it for the show But we've lost that now and now it will be on us. We'll put down a bar tap for them if we must. I think it would be a nice gesture for the shop to put them on the house. But we'll see.

The ball got sentries out there, see that we're coming, quickly closing their doors. Close up, pretend we're a rug stall. So, 21st of October, 7.30, 9.30. We thought Monday felt like the right time to do the chicken shop thing too, because it's a Monday night food. Yeah, it's normal when you're coming over from school, or you're just sting out of a Monday with herbs. Usually we call it chicken salt and post-volubol, whatever sport you're playing, it's only exists on Mondays because obviously the popular sports are reserved for the better days of the week. Futsula B and Monday night.

I played both volleyball and Futsula Monday night. That's crazy nice. At the same time. No, these are years apart. Yeah, seasons. Racing from one rec center to the other. From a church hall to a rec center. You're indoor crickets.

Yeah. You're freesby golf. Whatever you might be coming from. Electric darts. That's why we think a Monday night sums up chicken shops the most. Perfectly. We'll be out there. We'll be out in the amongst it.

And we will venture. There is... There was... Obviously, we nominated our local shop, but I think we should venture further or further. Now we're further. We'll dip into ours quickly. Oh, no. No, no, no, we won't.

We'll venture further or feel. Here's a question for Jacko, because we know he gets up early for the Grisha call, Rick Vashot, he does it. I guess he sure does. Will you risk less sleep to come with us on the journey on the 21st? At 7.30, 7 less sleep to come with us on the journey on the 21st?

At 7.30 to 8.30, what's it like I could do? But what if we're hours away? Oh, right, what if we're out of town? Could I go to my local chip shop? Yeah, we'd have we'd have kept that too. Celebrate? Yeah, because they're very good. I actually lost my wallet there last time I went,

went back and they had it ready for me to pick up with an elastic band around it. I guess saying... To show Tampa proof. To show you. I've not been in here. I mean, sticking tape to the edge of it with a hair. Fantastic. All right. So 21st, black tie, 730 Australian East. I can't wait.

I'm going to give you the new tux. I'm going to give you the elastic pants. I'm going to get a plastic pants because I had to wear my black suit pants the other week. Yep. Very tight. I don't know when I bought them, but jeez. I'm going to get a last, I'm going to get a last, I'm going to get a last, a tuxedo.

A new tux. We'll get a limo. Here we will. Last time I was in a limo, Jack, you remember what happened? Oh, we crashed. We had an accident in a limo. That's when you and I wore t. Tuxedo's to Andy's Hollywood walk of fame night at his high school. Oh, it's just being recognized by the school and you guys rocked up and made an

Netslee mockery about. Well, yeah, there's we kind of picked up your vibes that you wanted us there. Didn't want you there. Well, you didn't say you wanted us there because you wanted to point and weren't you the coolest boy in school and no one else had friends coming to Tuxedo's Bleeding from there. It's because the guy had a massive accident on the way. Yes, so hopefully you can put aside your post-traumatic stress seat belts on. Yeah, I've learned one thing. And next week we, I guess, I mean next week will be five days out from the actual event. Yeah, very exciting.

When we launch the pod. So any suggestions you have for us, any further questions, down points? Because we're getting so many great entries still. Let's change the entries this week. I mean, we'll get the format, but just to go, why you're excited to go to your shop. Why are you excited to go to your chicken shop?

What are you gonna wear? How you gonna make the night special for the chicken shop owners? Because that's what this was all about in the first months. It's about same with these chicken shop guys. Listen, you deliver consistent euphoria to us for 11.95. It's a bargain. Let us do something for you.

Hashtag chicken fest 19. Yeah. Because it probably will be 20 to 100 years of this type of thing. I would say this is the start of a hundred years tradition. Big time. And from the excitement of what's what's going to be happening with chicken fast to now perhaps the change of gears. I have something it's a very very different category but I suppose we're asking the listeners to help us out with chicken fast or do you say me off their own bat? Now it's time for them to get rewarded. I'd like to bring

everyone into a small situation. It's probably taken two years to come to a head at my house. As you know at my home, I have technically a fireplace in that front room, but it's very small. It's arguably decorative. I mean, it's got a chimney. Have you used it? Once. Okay. And it's a bit of a pain. Okay. It's very small. It's arguably decorative. I mean, it's got a chimney. Have you used it? Once. Okay. And it's a bit of a pain. Okay. It's very small. It's really for, and it's kind of behind the chairs.

Yes. We haven't set the room up to face the firebugs because it's in a corner, which you don't often see. It's not only in the middle of a wall. It's actually at the edge of a room. I'm not sure whether it's wood fire or is walls meant. It's wood fire. Yeah, it's just a, it's a hearth with a chimney. Yep. So I'm not sure whether the wood fire is, wasn't it? It's a wood fire. Yeah, it's just a it's a earth with a chimney. Yep. So I'm not sure what the rationale was to put it in, I guess

it's just to say, yeah, the fireplace, but it's like, you know, you've got to put the chimney up because we're a bedroom and a ring morale into the chimney. Anyway, that's that was their decision. The people that made the house, we've inherited it. I think we've like, I mean, everyone likes the idea of having an open fireplace. And because of that, we somehow got a box, like a moving box, or like a Kenna's storage box full of sticks, not much bigger than kindling, but certainly smaller than logs. Very good thick sticks, most of them have a cricket bat handle. Very good stick. Yeah, calm. Very good, very good stick. Yeah, okay, yeah, sure, sure.

Well, I mean, maybe they were there decoratively, maybe they were there when we bought the house, and we sort of cleaned them out and put them in this box, and they've just been floating around that room for ages. Yes. So it goes through a big clean out last week and goes, we are not, let's be honest, we never light the fire. Yes. So, okay, that is fair.

Get rid of these sticks, chuck them out. So, pick up the box, take him out to the bins and just look, it just feels wrong to throw out. I mean, Greta would kill me. We just had a whole month of climate protest. I can't be here throwing away nature in the bin. I know it would buy it to grade eventually. It just didn't feel right to throw out sticks. But what do you do with the boxes? It can't take it to the back yard. We just scoop them up again and go get these sticks out of here. They're too right to throw out sticks. But what do you do with a box of sticks? Can't take it with the back yard, we just scoop them up again and go get these sticks out of here. They're too good to throw out.

Then, they actually, so I'm just, they're wooden sticks. They're sticks from a tree. Yeah, I know, but like, they curve, they, you know, right, okay, so they're not, they're not manufactured sticks. These are from nature, but they're a good selection of sticks. They're branches.

They were, they would have grown on a tree. Ah! Ah! Ah! They would have grown on a tree for sure. So, but you're saying, this size, they're like, oh yeah, yeah. So, that's not a tree. No, no, no, no, that's very big what you did there.

That's the circumference of a hot cross bun. They're this size. Oh, I'm just conscious of the camera in front of me, and I keep miming with sometimes one sometimes two hands how big this is stick cricket handle is that's right, okay? That's the maximum and then some thinner down to I think down to the real when you say sticks I always think Twigs they're not twigs But I always think it's I think you're feeling like these are branches at no, because they are, they do not deviate. They don't branch off into anything.

Right. One, one, one end to end, end to end, one piece of wood, which of course has character in the curve. That's not a cricket stump. It's an exciting journey as the eye traces the curve and see their beautiful sticks. And let's say I've probably got 25 to 30 of them. It's not a Greek and stump. It's an exciting journey as the eye traces the curve and see the beautiful sticks. And let's say I've probably got 25 to 30 of them. And you see them in the box and you go, if you're in the market for sticks, wowie.

That's a good thing. Five bucks at your house, Jack. I actually do have a good time. There was a two-bit to boom. Because this is exactly where I thought Jack would be jumping and going, I'll add the sticks. And with the risk of you trying to charge me in like an hourly rate to have them in my house

or something like that. Hey Jack, the e-tracker I put in my stick tells me it's been in the fireplace for 12 minutes. Please, you'd free trial is over. You'll now be subscribed, you'll now be charged to subscriptions. And I can use my imagination to picture the kind of stick you can imagine is it?

It's the kind of thing you've done your kindling. You're not ready for a big life. It's the next one on. It's the one in between. And you don't have me. You usually don't have many of them in your life. I don't have them. You actually go yourself from keenling to lock. You actually get yourself this as a bit of a treat. You know, you know, that's that you will you have a lull in your fire. No, you must pick actually. You must use an intermediary stick surf.

I don't know what they told you it's counts, but it wasn't fire making mate. I'm surprised you got as many badges as you did because that is not the right way to build a fire. So this is an intermediary stick. Yeah, right. And it's probably what's been seen for an inter-reader. I might chuck you one for free.

And try it up. Drive it up. See if you like it. I see if you like it. I'd be nice. Well, on this topic, I've got this box of sticks. Can't bring myself in the beauty we've covered it off. It's nature.

They deserve a good home. That's why I want to do this. I'll say. We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss We wish you a Merry I'll say. We wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss Wee. Wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss Wee. Wish you a Merry Sticks, Miss and a Happy New Year. Can you stick to everyone? So it's an email us this week.

It's a stick giveaway. Tell us why you want the stick. What type of stick you want. I'll bring the sticks in next show. Can we get a photo up? Oh yeah, we could. I didn't bring them in today. I, because I'm struggling, mainly for me. Yeah, it's a difficult thing to visualize. I'm sure so people with more powerful

imaginations can see it. Yeah. And I'll bring them in next week and we'll go through the entries of what what sticks what people want. They might want them as a dog stick. They might want them as a dog. Oh, I think that's not just fire. I certainly fires an option. Yeah, but there's a lot of reason for you sticking. There's many uses for a stick. Why do you want the stick? How many do you want? What's your ideal stick?

We can all go through the box here and try and find the sticks that meet people's needs. Well, we're like a charity that has been given funds from a foundation. We've got to work out how do we appropriate it? We distribute them now for maximum impact. How do we make Stixmas a very, very happy time of the year for everyone? Yeah, Stixmas has always been an October.

Yeah, Stixmas hasn't come early. It's right on time this year. It's always been mid October and that's where it is again this year. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yeah. Do you reckon whales are embarrassed where they beach themselves? Is my question a few flamics? If you, putting aside the panic of, am I gonna die, am I not gonna die? I'm not gonna die for death. That'd be a problem.

Oh, it's a great, look, it is an interesting philosophical question. Do animals get embarrassed? I often wonder if my cat does, because he does some real dumb stuff. Yeah, like, you know, he'll just fall off the couch for no reason. And he'll, there's like, there's movements he would associate with embarrassment

after it's fast moving. Yeah, because he's turning it didn't happen. Did you turn it in and see if anyone saw? That he, not quite that, but it's like, when you trip it and you run and stuff and he put us like, but he's like, he just, is that just an animal recovering from a fall? Or is he truly feel embarrassed?

I'd say the same thing. I mean, more than a while getting beached, you'd ask the same question of any zebra or gazelle and a pack that gets hit by the line. I mean, not only are you going to die, but all your mates saw you be the worst. I mean, that's bad. But I actually, before even the jaw is landed on you, you're tea with the most embarrassing part of the chase would be the bit where you realize you're the worst. I mean, that's bad. But I actually, before even the jaw is landed on you, you're tea with the most embarrassing part of the chase would be the bit where you realize you're the one. Thank you. You be standing there as a 500. What the hell are you doing? I get that

a little bit because everyone's running for their lives. So it's like you'd be, once you conversely, once you realize if we were all in the pack, so you had a mate named Jeff or whatever. Once you me and Jack had all stomped and we looked over and we saw Jeff, we'd piss ourselves out. Look at him.

He hit me with a wig properly. It's Jeff. He was gonna be Jeff. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, God. Oh, shit. Poor old Jeff.

Why shouldn't have pushed him over at the start? Jeff made, it was always gonna be. It's always had that feel about you. So, and I think that's mean of us. That's mean, but I think we'd be so high on the trend level, we'd be forgiven. Yeah, agree. I think, I don't think Jeff ever feels embarrassed

though, she was in no, of course he would. No, he's getting, he's, he's eddy. No, but before the next, but once his three lioness is around him and they're corralling him, and he's my part with the wild. I don't care that white Jeff. I mean, that was Jeff trying to out fox some lions. The whales know how you. It's on the wild. They know how shallow the water is. They can feel the bottom as they're approaching. You do. You do want to know how that happens.

It's like a teenage girl that's texting during driving. They're just not paying attention and then suddenly they're into shallow and they're really made a boo-boo. Yeah. It's meant to be magnetic though, isn't it? Sometimes they do it in packs. Right. Sometimes you're all, am I right and saying sometimes, well, in packs. Right. They're all sometimes like, you know, you're all,

I think is it, am I right and think sometimes, well, I don't know, I'm looking at Jack. Jack who presses the buttons first and has a degree in biology. I mean, it is one of the great mysteries of nature, but I think there are sometimes where we're like a whole pod just accidentally gets it wrong. But again, there would be a leader in the, you know, a chair if it was in charge,

or reading the map. I don't know. I don't know, I don't know you, a told you was a bit early to turn for Antarctica. I could be really, a bit of that. I guess it's just, it's just a, I just feel like if I was similar to how we all are laughing at Jeff, I'd be, another whale. It'd be modified. You'd be, especially when the news camera's came down. Yeah, the news camera's good.

And then I, And then it fins can't reach your face. And then there'd be a point, even hide your face. And there's the news camera's good. And then you... And then you... And then you'd... And then you'd be able to even hide your face. And there's a point where there's taking heaps of people to kind of push him back here, and then he'd get back to the group. And there'd be, I mean, I know they can't kind of...

Oh, they can, can you? Okay, a lot of songs. They'll be whole new songs written about, written about, you know, all watch out, don't follow Jeff. He records end up because, like like 8,000 guys that way. Yeah, there've been new songs. That's actually probably the study they should do.

You follow a part of Wiles, one tragically gets beached, but it's okay, they get rescued. And then you see if there's new songs. I don't mocking songs. New songs are if there are much like like English football champs. Yeah. You would have evidence that the pod mocks the beaches. Jedi Mia, welcome to the Jedi you've for Jedi Jedi Jedi Jedi okay welcome special skill

getting tested. Hey, I only told you about this today. It's pretty exciting, Amber. We've got another one of our super humans in the studio with us. Another X-Man. All women joins us today. A man very into the mutiny. I hear you took off the morning of work to come in and be able to do this. Yeah, very important appointment apparently.

Okay, good. What do you do for a job? So when they hear this, they'll find out what the appointment was. I do mostly bar work at Victoria Golf Club. There's a bit of everything to do. Well, it's pretty early. I mean, I'll peek a bit behind the curtain here. So we're pre-10 AM, so you'd be amazed. I would be.

I'm primed to be amazed because I'm sitting here believing not too many people coming in for a tequila sunrise. The most happening drink. If I know my golf, I think I do. We have to do the same. I part the fourth. To give you a sunrise. It's traditional people.

People don't know one of the most prestigious clubs in Australia. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So now I've just found out what your special skill is and we should jump to that for people that are curious. You, you're, it's felt windy side of the fence.

I just found out myself this morning. Yep. As written, we need to read it out that are curious. You, it's felt windy side of the fence. I just found out myself this morning. As written to me, to read it out here, as written, we always like him as written. Because it's like a contract you've made. Yeah. Special skill, telling you the exact milliliters of liquid in a glass purely from the sound of the poor alone. Oh.

Here's a huge gun. Whenever anyone gets down into millilators, millimetres, we're very interested with people that can take something to the nearest thousandth. And then Cheto, obviously, is it your work behind the bar of Victoria Golf Club? Yeah, so I mean, we were told to poor wines. The only reason I put it down is that I've got to rock once. So I thought, can't be that hard to do it again. Which is often true. Yeah.

What we discover in the studio is often a disconnect between people sitting at home bored one night. I mean, take us into the mind of someone that does fill out the VIP form. Are you actively seeking it out? Are you on the internet and you've looked at everything else you can think of to look at? And where the last pick and you go all right I'll just do this for fun. I did I did want to fill it out I mean earlier last year and I saw I'd say some of these questions are ridiculous

I don't know what I put down yeah, and then like I said one day at work We're meant to pour 150 mils of wine and I poured it and they're like that's 150 mil I'm like that's bang on 150 mil right and it was right. Yeah, and I was like there you go. So it's all my ticket out of here So I look at the computer. It was it was either gonna be UFC Friday Or millimetre millimetre guessing okay terrific. So we're glad we've got you you said purely by the sound of the pulse We've got a blindfold for you. Happy enough for that. Yeah, Chad. I wanted to ask this um So a blindfold for you, happy enough with that. Now, Chad, I want to ask this, the headphones, obviously we have marked up the pause so everyone can hear,

would that enhance your ability or is it going to throw you to? I've never even tried it with a microphone. There's always been unplugged, I think. Yeah, exactly. I, so you've got the option, we can put the blindfold on the headphones back on or you can unplug and bring yourself closer if you like got the option we can put the blindfold on the headphones back on or you can Unplug and bring yourself closer if you like to the glass would you like to hear it acoustically or yeah? I'll I can I hear it with microphone first and then oh yeah, okay as a practice. Yeah, sure sure

Okay, yeah, it's not all right It don't go for a channel and pop the uh you know what we'll do Oh, yeah, that's not right, that's mine. No, no, no, no, up, you can you can you can then go I pass and we go to an unplugged version. Hey, me. She's about to pour the film. Come on over. Come on over with the water. Before we get into that, actually, we made an open of future. Oh. Shed of me is guessing what a pause. Given us the millen be the guest that he is to. Okay, pretty straightforward. That wasn't the pause, that was the sound effect. That is SFX.

Here we go. Live, for an amplified pause, into the glass next to the microphone. Good luck. 60 mils? It's 10! 10! Well...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... We haven't really Three attempts two out of three. It's a coin it's a coin. Oh, yeah Well, I don't want to burst the bubble and there was a hundred miles Hundred mil so you fall in off You start again, but hey miss will put back glass aside Replace it with a new central glass He is just gonna fill up his beaker. So if you hear what he's doing, was doing that thing where you describe stuff on radio

so people know what's happening, but he was also telling me how to do it. LAUGHTER People at home might have thought that we'd be reorganized that, that it was Andy definitely going, and he will fill up a central glass. So move it back under the mic. Good boy.

LAUGHTER and he will feel like a central class, so move it back under the mic. Good boy. LAUGHTER 100%. 100% telling me that we don't press the accelerator to all the clutches in. LAUGHTER OK, and of course we know to put the clutch on. Yeah, which he's doing now. OK, Chetto. Chetto.

Prepare to listen to the second poor good luck. 110 mil? Okay, okay. Very nice. For the reveal. Chetto. Yep. Your first guess was 60.

Yep. You were off. Yep. You leapt up 50 mils. Yep. And your first guess was 60. Yep. You were off. Yep. You leapt up 50 mills. Yep. The leap up was correct, but it was from 100 to 150. So it was 50 mills more than last time, but you were using the old calibration. So you've guessed the variance spot on it, to the milliliter. You guessed the milliliter, to the milliliter, but you were wrong by a wild at a margin. Yeah, 40 more. Yeah, huge. Well, let's do one more.

One more lap. Remember, because we do have a haul of shame that we're creating. It can't be worse than a Simpson. No, he's top of the list, I don't know. You basically have to guess you poured nothing. To equal the Simpson's. Simpson's quite good. Hey, Chetemi, I must warn you I have clearly

have poured something. No, my guess is minus one later. He's equaled the Simpson's guy. Okay, Chet, here you go. For your third attempt, and you want to get quite close to this one to avoid going down the history as the water guy. 170 mil?

What a quickie! It's good. Doesn't you have my aroundy? Yeah, hey, hey, pretty... Not that great. 200. But certainly each guest trended up. You could certainly tell that they were longer pause.

I wonder how much of a pair one that is. Actually, you can take your wife off. You can take your wife off. I'm not. Are there two people to take you to my pocket. I'm going to take you to my pocket. Are there two people to make you leave an honest? I'm just going to rest of the time. Drive home. Well, we come to what could only be described.

When you tell us you'd only done it once, I think we all smell that this was a possibility that we'd end up here. Out of the bottle, there's like a limit of how fast it can pour. So it was different. Yeah, you can gauge it easier. So out of a jug, I wasn't really sure. Yeah, okay. That's what I was thinking. Perhaps. If we're really scraping something in the end, this is like at the first Olympics when they just had written down as the event, jumping a distance. Yeah. And they didn't say if it was higher jump, or whatever.

And you got there and you saw the sand pit. No, it's a high jump of being in the back yard. My brother holds a broom, hire and hire. I'm sorry. I think you guys have to split it up. Chino, we would like to give you a token of no value. We personally attribute nothing to that. That's rubbish to us.

That's absolutely trash. I hope that even know where that is. There has no value. You want to value what's what? Welcome to invite with your own sentimental value. No, whereas I will. Hey, I forgot to mention this to you. Thing that happened when I was in the States a few weeks ago, the AFL Grand Final was on. I really wanted to watch it.

Very difficult to find venues in when you're overseas to watch Australian sports. It is tough. To them, it's nothing. Yeah, the Grand Final. No, it doesn't. We just be like us trying to watch the college lacrosse Grand Final.

Yeah, exactly. There'll be one or two pubs that do it. Some of them will be into it, but it's definitely an A-s. So I did a lot of ringing around and found a place, right, and I booked it. 15 people, tellies, et cetera. And they said there's a college football game in the afternoon, but that will finish at eight.

Your game starts at 9.30, it'll be fine. So that's great. And then it got to the point where on the day, one of my mates says, hey, the sound's going to be on because we want to make sure we're watching the game with the sound on. That's a good point. So I think it's a sports car and there's 50 screens. Exactly. So I'm ringing the venue and they didn't pick up. And so I sent an email to them to say,

I'm really sorry, the couple of them are mates of panic. They really need to know if the sound's on it, if the sound's not on, we're probably gonna have to cancel the reservation. Got to two hours before the match. I sent another email and said, and couple of mates panicked and went, we're going elsewhere, we're going,

we can't risk it. And I was like, okay, we're getting a VPN. I respect that. And so we booked another place. Get an email back with an hour before the match from the venue that says, hey Andy, yep, no problem. So just got this. The sound's completely on.

It's going to be fine. And I had to write back, I'm sorry, there's already been a break away group. Right. I'm going to have to cancel the reservation. We've told everybody else to go to this other place. And we're already there. Yeah. Anyway, so you could see Paul Kelly.

I got an email back from going, no worries, completely understand. If you change your mind, it's all set up and the sounds definitely on. That's nice of you. Right. So I showed Beck this email from him and she went oh We should send them some flowers I said I laughed I

Don't think we need to send the pub we just canceled watching the footy at flowers just seeing the pub we just canceled watching the 40 at four hours. She says, we should do something. And I said, I don't think we need to do anything. Well, gesture is nice. I thought this story was going to go down the path of them going, we have got to charge you a little bit. And you're going, yeah, I know, I've got a credit card. So good like finding me.

Yeah. I mean, there is an argument to be made that they're like, well, we kept an area aside, which we now can't sell. But I said to him, which can't sell, you can. No, no, but they might have rejected other bookings that we're coming in because, no, no, we've kept this booth aside or whatever. So there's some argument for compensation.

Flayers is a very interesting call for a pub. I mean, you can't send them a slab because they're a pub. Exactly. A massage? Should we ring a pub book voucher or something or like an iTunes voucher? Should we ring a pub book about you or something or like an iTunes voucher? Should we ring a pub and see what they would like? If someone was to make a man for a reservation can see... I mean any pub would follow the same rules. Because like time difference wise

that everyone would be sleeping in America. Can we call an Australian pub and go? No, I think we could call an American one right now. You can call an American pub. It's probably at nine o'clock at night there. Okay, so they'd be busy. So yeah, that's right. Just saying you got one. Yeah, and then I'm like, here's, well, why don't we just go anywhere in LA? Why don't we make a sample of them? What's better than flowers like?

Would you, would the flowers have been a good, would you have, would you have liked this? No one's gonna say no, we hate flowers, but let's like, I actually think, what about would you have liked to receive, would have been weird to receive flowers? I didn't know that's how much would she have spent on flowers. I think it would have been 80 bucks. Yeah, right. So, I reckon, would it have been weird to receive flowers from a cancellation? That's the first question. Yep. And then what

would you prefer? Here's what I would have argued is a nicer thing to sand. Okay. For $20 iTunes gift card. Okay. Would you prefer, which of those would you have preferred? Right. Right. Thank you for padding if you were padding. I have found the goal on West 3rd Street.

Okay. Great place. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Thank you for going on, go sports, Cafe. Oh, hi there. Who's speaking? This is cafe. Oh hi there. Who's speaking?

This is John. Hey John, it's a hey machine Andy here. We do a podcast in Australia. John, we've just got a very simple question. We wonder if we could get your help on something. Yeah, what's up? If a customer booked a booth, let's say of a 10 to 15 people, and then they cancelled with an hour to go before coming to watch the game. Would it be weird for that customer to send you guys

at the venue a bunch of flowers to say sorry for canceling the booking? I've never had that happen, that'd be pretty awesome. You're also pretty awesome. Awesome. Okay. Weird question. I could get that at it. Okay. Would you prefer because flowers is a hard one for a sports bar because do you put them on the bar? Does one staff member take them home? It would be hard to deviate them up.

Would you prefer an $80 bunch of flowers or an $420 iTunes gift cards. Well, I guess yeah, $420 iTunes gift cards would be pretty nice. I could hand them out to the staff and be easy and I could fight the movies. Yeah, it'd be nice. Okay, so you'll say, if we're in a circumstance again, where we accidentally cancel a booth

in a popular sports bar an hour before the game the vouchers is better than flowers. I mean I still think the flowers are kind of nice because I've probably put them on display and then like when people come in and they're like what's with the flowers they could be like oh you know these guys these guys canceled their booth but they were nice enough to send a flower. They might, I don't know, spread the message of like, he's right, don't be a natural guy. Oh my god, you're... You're flowers?

Was he a good mate? Thank you, Joe. We won't take him any more of your time. Thank you so much for taking the call. Thank you, buddy. No problem, guys. Thanks, mate. Bye.

Cheers. Hey, let's definitely send him flowers. Thanks for being on our podcast. Let's definitely send him flowers. Thanks for being on our podcast. To round out the show, obviously a triumphant show where we have announced that chicken fest will be on the 21st of October. 7.30 PM, Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time. We've got a few other things to clear up.

I got a text message from Adam Spencer. Great, great, great comedian back at Adam and Wildoes of Triple J. He said, what about Taiman Paltry, which I thought, Oh, she that's, just like what, as our band. Yeah, as our band.

No, we've got away from bands, but he said if you're looking local, we'd gone birds, rotisserie birds of Tokyo. Yep. Oh, obviously peaking chook. Tame impaltry I thought was wasn't a bad one. It wasn't a bad one but if I can nitpick, the impala is the animal.

Not the parlor. Yeah I know but it's more just the play on words I like. He also said do you parlor? It's if you're going Jack, where do you stand this? We've done way worse than that. We have. We have. But if we're booking... We've probably done some today. If have, we have. But if we're booking, If we're only done some today.

If we're booking the band, if we're booking the band, I couldn't confidently sell it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they would be the biggest of those three bands. Huge, that's why I'm nervous. Yeah. I mean, it's meant to love your books.

Love your books. But I don't know. He also said if you're going international, Dixie chicks, that's better. Don't have to change it. Yeah, that's probably better. Start with that.

Anyway, hey, there was an important issue that came to a head. I think it was a Tuwamble-Wok based store called Super Rooster. Now, they are still a real, they're a legal grey area. For people that were, that aren't a crosses, I need a quick refresher. I believe we have the audio from the show where we bought it up Super Rister In Tollamba. I've had super Rister come up. I said listen, I know guys. I heard the show. I know you have said no chains And yes technically they have three locations, but that is only because people demanded greater access to their chicken and more specifically their chips and gravy.

The owner is so high upon quality of their product he refuses to franchise. In fact, his unwillingness to franchise led to a riff between him and one of his shifts. The other shifts studies own chicken shop with the exact same recipe and menu. This led to the tour. But chicken shop wars of the early 2000s. Wow. Which is a real thing. Anyway, it's such an institution that when they got F-POS, it made the paper. That's the kind of store we're talking with.

Now, because we're Southern boys down in Victoria, we weren't exposed to the phenomenon of super-rister as obviously our Queensland podcasters are. This has been a real hot potato, The name of hot sliver of potato. As we try and figure this one out. What is the difference, we say, between a franchise. And a chain of three restaurants owned by the same person. And are you proposed that it came down to management? That's where it's just like kind of like a really interesting

piece of constitutional law or something. Yes, exactly. Did we in fact mean franchise when we said chain? That's where it's like kind of like a really interesting piece of constitutional law or something. Did we in fact mean franchise when we said shame? You know, can't get inside the founding fathers head. But maybe that's what the founding fathers meant when they're laying down the rules. You said for you, it's management if the owner of Super Rooster and if it is one owner, if he visits all three locations once per week, that shows enough care that he's still, he or she is still heavily,

but I think it is heavily involved in the running of those locations and they have not been franchised out and forgotten about and the quality remains high. I think then you went on to say, and this is the quote we should put on a calendar, but I can't remember exactly, we'll go back and find it, but you were saying, yes, what is the difference?

Yeah. It's not necessarily just having one store with a bigger floor space. It's still one store with three different counters. That's right. Three different rooms. Let's say you're a family. Now you can all live under the one roof,

but if the brothers, the sisters, they split up and they spread in the same city. Have they left the family? A bungalow. Could it be. I mean, we've been in a bungalow. Is it the same house? We could ask these philosophical,

metaphorical questions or David instead. Sarah, our super producer has got Chris, oh, we believe there's the owner of Super Rooster on the phone. Chris, oh, how are you, sir? Boy, how are you? Very good. Now, first things first, Chris, are, how are you, sir? Boys, how are you? Very good. Now, first things first, Chris, are you the owner of Super Rooster?

I am, yes, dad. Congratulations, though. Chris, we've heard about you. We haven't heard about the competitor during the wars. Yeah, do you want to talk about the chicken wars? Yeah, I heard that. I was going to talk about it, but not a sorry to tell, but, you know, it's, we're exciting in the time.

Yeah. But, no, but but you know it's exciting in the time. Yeah, but No, but yeah, it's just up. He's a low Yeah, not a friendship. I got the only cock in the cock out. Well, okay, okay, okay So you won the wars by And his history is written by the winners Here's the quiz, the big question. Yep. You got three stores currently?

Yes. How often do you visit each store per week? Oh per week? Well, at least each store every day. Oh! Once a day? Do every store? It's sometimes twice, depending if there's anything to go and do.

What do you think? I mean, first of all, this is a huge, and I dare say you have qualified to be a one-off chicken shop that exists at three locations. That is huge. Congratulations. You are eligible for the whole other chicken chicken. Golden-chirp award. So excited. Chris, why aren't you French-wise? I don't know exactly what the call has said back. You know, when we on our first heard, Flash got 20,000 emails from my friends and family saying,

you need to listen to Hamage Andy. And yeah, just because we want to keep quality and we're literally like a small family business. It's dad and I and then seems to be no dad next year so we're kicking him off the screen and yeah, so we just want to keep quality and we want to be a local family business. The baby chicken has grown up. Yeah. From all the roots.

Yeah. Hello everyone. Hey Chris. Is there a super rooster mascot outfit? There is his name's Louis and is a rooster. Have you ever worn it? I have not, we do not, is there, I spoke to somebody this morning and they said we've got to make a mascot outfit. Oh, you've never worn it?

I was going to say that's really the mark of a true owner. They don't have an outfit. I don't think they've got a small, I suppose a smaller stuff toy or is it just a graphic form, Louis. Is it graphic form? Yeah. But he's everywhere all in the shop. Why Louis Chris? Well, that was Dad's best friend when he was a kid.

So when Dad designed it back in early 80s. It's for business of you for sure. Got him. Got him a beauty. I've done something special for the shop for you. Oh my god, am I getting 10%? No. But I have no chicken after you.

Yeah, exactly. Chris, when you said you mentioned, you said you visit each location three times a day. I was sorry, once a day, three locations, at least once. What sort of stuff are you doing? When you pop in, are you checking chicken levels, salt levels, are you looking at the timeliness

of the venue, talking to staff? Yeah, I've been if everything, well, I'm currently out of store right now and my phone was ringing just then and I had to tell a customer that I needed to go and take this phone, a very important phone call. But you're turning back? Turning customers on the fire, all that sort of stuff, so yeah, it's down there every day. You use the phrase then out of store, is that a common phrase in your day? Like, do you break up your day in terms of in-store out of store moments? Look, I do have to say there are a few coffee shops in between the three stores, so they might see me once or twice a day.

Helping local business. Yeah, exactly right, yes or a. Please don't go to a franchise. Chris, I don't know. Chris, I mean, maybe we do one-off coffee shops next year. I don't know. I think this is going to be a big cool. This, what we're trying to do here to recognize one-off chicken stores in Australia and globally,

has it sent ripples through the one-off chicken shop community and is everyone very excited? Look, there's chatter. I have to say there you definitely chatter. Great. Yeah. Really good. Well, we look forward to many people in the Dwarmer area dressing up in Vorgown or Black Tie and getting to one of your stores. If it's in fact they are favorite. Yes. On the 21st of October. If you get someone walking through the door, I custom-own Black Tie and Black Tie where you will be registered and you will receive a trophy

for being one of Australia's greatest chicken stores. Oh my god, go, go. Can't wait, thank you so much. Thank you very much, cheers. See you at Chicken Fans. Thank you very much. See you back. Bye, bye.

Go get back in store. We're here. We're here. Thanks for listening. The Hamish Nandy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at hamishanandie.com.
