real pod I'm joined by Duncan and Alex and we've got a little bit of an announcement for you actually it's it's a lot of bit of an announcement um for us for us that's the big as it big big as it gets it's the realest of real news should we play The Sting is that weird let's play the [Music] St we've been doing this pod for eight years coming up nine years and um when we started out we were just fresh-faced youngans just passionate about reality TV and now we're just oldf faced well Alex is still FR Place she's still extremely frish place that's true I was so young when we started that people were emailing D can worried he had employed a 12-year-old that's like both a joke and true like there was invocation of child labor laws regularly I think there was yeah I mean you looked very young but then there was a particular picture of you years where you looked like from intermediate not even high school and I never met you Jane never met you never you this podcast brought us together I've told the story so many times that for our very first uh pilot episode which canell we would be cancelled for because it was just basically judging the contestants of the um Bachelor NZ purely on their photos and bios still a great format and uh and Duncan you know he brought us together at my house just to introduce us um sat down and never left the PO he was never to be part of this never invited never invited never left but here he still is anyway at the time there was so much great reality television we were drowning in it we really were and for the next eight years we've been in various states of drowning in it various states of not so drowning in it we've also run out of time a little bit haven't we we should just say what's going on we we're shutting down the real pod when you put it like that it sounds like it can't possibly true but it is yeah isn't it it is and it's a funny thing because I think we have all felt um the pressure of how much tally there is to watch when networks are stretching over two three four episodes a week oh it's the TV network for can't content themselves with just a simple 45 minute episode actually it used to be it was one or two episodes right and it was and we could just sit with it and like really get into it it different time sort of pressures on our time then either you know the spin-off was literally a T blog yeah yeah 1.5 FTE uh yeah but but now it's just yeah we're basically we're drowning and and persistently have the feeling that we're not doing any of our day jobs let alone a weird job the real pod to the level we want and that's been sort of nagging and Goring and we've tried things like subst and remember when and the newsletter and it's all been great except that it hasn't solved the fundamental of it it's kind of breaking us in hindsight maybe we shouldn't have been like maybe we should fix this work problem with more small it's an extremely real pod way to do things and the problem is that we I know it might not seem like it but we give a 100 we give a 100% so we remember when we were like I don't know 10 minutes of research jump behind mic and that quickly morphed into Alex in particular disappearing down 3 on the message board like just going to places you know I've never I never thought I'd go but that's also to say you know it's given us a lot of ideas and inspiration and we're not disappearing you know we will be channeling that energy into new projects and things next year so that's also exciting you know we will we will not well no I'm not going to say that we return no it we won't return but we are all still at the spin-off and colleagues and like to chat and like to type we're all still here we're all still here so I know there's going to be lots of questions from everyone um one of them being when is the last episode 2039 no it's going to be on the 29th of November is when it's going to be we're going to have a lunchtime live stream so pop that in your diary uh make sure you've got long lunchtime booked for that day if you can't join us it will be available to watch afterwards um and and you can jump in there we're going to sort of Reminisce about some of the uh the highlights of our eight years remember we in the rail pod remember we in the rail pod and also invite you guys to like jump in the chat and ask us some questions and hopefully we'll be I was just thinking we could wear like Blazers and make it look like a business meeting so people can just do it like watch it at work that's actually pretty good I don't have a BL I'm just watching a webinar this ser people we can get webinar as a key graphic on the screen if you like and maybe some graphs of stocks and things yeah yeah if you if you work at a serious corporate with a boring sounding name we are available to be sponsored for the final episode so we can have your logo to kind of complete the M scene is that right fil minist beautiful thank you yeah um obviously we are so grateful to everyone who's ever listened to this podcast anyone who's ever been a part of I launched mad Chapman's career she was a she was she was a producer at one point and now she's editor of the spin-off so that's great Jonathan of the beths of course' be nowhere without us that's true the bests wouldn't be supporting the national on a US Arena tour without the real pod Paul Williams Oh my God the list goes on that's true no kid Sister without the real pod uh Jordan from The The Bachelor probably wouldn't have made the bachelor games if he hadn't been famous for being such a that's that actually might be true that's true oh we got to save all this for the we oh yeah save it for the we it's still nice is the problem it is I know and that's the thing is I think we feel a lot of different feelings right it is like we love we love we love each other and we love the Cory and we love what we do but it's just like it's just time you know it's that weird thing we all just feel it um and it's it's sad I know that the corner is going to live on in some form so that's up to you guys it's pretty much user generated at this point has been for years so there's absolutely no reason why you guys can't keep doing what you've been doing and providing just amazing support and Giggles for each other um you know we'll be in and out keeping an eye on things you know just to um check in see how everyone's doing see if Susie Alexander's made a comeback at any point she's changed her profile photo by the way on Facebook so interesting real news less less likely that she's a bot with a changed profile photo a real person who just thought that we'd gone to crap these days let's not dwell on Susie Alexander she's entitled to her wrong opinion maybe we can blame Susie Alexander for our very long drawn out slow downfall that wouldn't be fair all other questions we're going to have um there there's a link in the substack email that uh lives with this episode so just head to that and that will answer your questions I know a lot of people will be interested to know what's happening with their subscriptions and so on won't go into the dates here just the substack and uh and look at

big elephant in the room I'm not on the verge of tears I'm smiling completely normal K welcome this is the real pod I'm jie joined by Duncan griev and Alex Casey uh we're here to recap our favorite reality show that is on at the moment tvnz on Monday and Tuesday nights which is mkr andz woo woo actually Haven yeah haven't checked if anything oh no TV yeah no that's definitely true what I just said yeah um how how you doing guys I'm good I'm actually great it's great it's fine we don't need to dwell on it is it sunny it looks like it's sunny where you are it's beautifully Sunny chist has turned it on how is it in Oakland it is also beautifully sunny it's morning and morning side and it's lovely wow to be clear it's morning here too really yeah I know it's kind of confusing cuz it's like a different Island and stuff I didn't I thought okay that's should they should tell you that when you get on in New Zealand I it's still morning wh local time local time is I think the speakers from the pilot announcing like where the local time is and that is just like slightly behind 1A Duncan so you probably you probably miss it when you're sitting in your 1 a I still haven't done 1A oh maybe no I had one I had one I think you've had two to be honest have you heard about the um actually after we talked about search engine last week I listened to way more search engine while I was gardening over the weekend last weekend did you um did you listen to one about coffee on airplanes no I listened to the one about the war that was oh wow honestly so you two summed up I don't know if this is true in New Zealand maybe this is a story copyright me um if so um that you're like not supposed to drink the coffee on planes because the water is all kept in like a tank that they never clean and it's the same water that they use to um that you use to wash your hands in the bathrooms and they say actually don't wash your hands in the bathrooms either take bottled water and they say if you watch you see the pilots when they go to the toilet they take bottled water with them to wash their hands with because the water is that gross they don't even wash their hands with it I may seen a pilot go to the toilet on a plane yeah I assume they just did it in a like like a big a big um maybe they use those ones right at the front next to one a you've probably seen a few Pilots go to the toilet have I ever hey that's really interesting information I don't know but it might be like you know how America is just crazy you know like it might be a crazy America thing um and I guess you have longer Hall flights more regularly like you know in New Zealand probably they just Sur they just fill up a use the tap at the airport fill up a chili bin yeah but maybe they're not cleaning out maybe they're just like diluting the jeries that are in the bottom you know like they don't go through the whole tank they got to empty clean and refill if they're not doing that I think you're really on to something can you please find out now that you've got all this time on your hands going to really free me up to do the work that matters any other real news oh you you got corned at the cords I got corned at the Cs and it was the best experience ever a the cuse live at hegley Park was just fantastic it was like Irish Christmas in the Park and there was like there were three opening XS Germaine which which I did not know Tony Childs who I did not know but listen to and still did not know Natalie and Brer who was hilarious and then the cause but I um I had bought a cause cap I was very determined to buy a piece of merch there was like abysmal merch apart from this one cap I thought and I bought the cap and I was in the line for the portal cap on world off focused on the portal do you wash your hands and the do oh well this is actually something else I want to talk about actually I think this is a story this is copyright me as well she's searching for a pen searching for a pen okay hold on I'll talk about the cor interaction first then I'll go back to the portal thing and I was waiting in line but it was that confusing thing where there's like a whole row like a corner kind of a right angle of portalus and a couple of lines and it's not clear who's like what jurisdiction each line is is covering so I was like very focused and quite intense on being stressed about that and this lovely woman came up to me and went excuse me I'm a COR and I thought she was going to say I'm a CO fan and I love your head which like thinking about it everyone in that whole park was probably thinking cuz we were all cause fans and I was rocking the hat but I was so focused on the toilet I was not expecting a corny interaction so when she went I'm a corne and I'm sorry I literally gasped and then I just went oh I'm sorry and then I started trying to talk about My Kitchen Rules and it was really I don't know I just want to apologize to Caitlyn like I hope it was okay for you and you don't regret it and we took we took a nice photo together but I also would like to apologize for my open ventriloquist mouth in that photo um love the photo I like the photo because you look like the fan like you that's yeah but I am you are the fan but it's uh it's it's a the composition really really says I found her but yes it was a very sweet interaction and I was just so I was genuinely like very um bold over by the whole the whole exchange when I was overwhelmed for the portaloos um what actually I was thinking about is it's crazy how we've just accepted portaloo culture now that there's no water in the Taps and it's just hand sanitizer and you just sanitize your hands and walk out there's no washing anymore none of the portaloos have functioning Taps oh but did they ever yeah they had a little foot pump situation and they've still got the foot pump there and I've noticed this the last few times I've been to like outdoor stuff you pump the thing no water comes out and then it's like oh it's just hand sanitizer to be honest I assume that hand sanitizer is better than water and soap more like scouring industri like you get got things on your hands you got debris debris debris oh is that that must be a different um that must be something that doesn't happen to chaps it's just this I do know I was just like are we okay with this like I'm not okay you need a stream water take your water bottle and with you I guess take yeah well I mean that's the lesson of this podcast but do you really want your water bottle the like the mouthpiece of the water bottle being open and available to portal L germs at any time so you now have to carry two water bottles one for drinking from and one for handwashing maybe we can invent some sort of it's so crazy that this podcast wasn't a huge commercial success I it still boggles my mind but I just came up with an invention right some sort of handwashing camel peack type situation uh yeah yeah the the fisty for the fisty rounds I was trying to think of a name but it was nothing your fisty friend but you couldn't get it through security because you can't take liquid see this you're plain pal and your fisty friend you know well there you go so copyright it yeah anyway not to say a head debris on by hands but if you were to find yourself in that situation just a lot of debris on hand I thought when you said that that you the person came up to you who was it Caitlin came up to you and said I'm a core that you you were going to say you thought it was one of the cores just I'm a COR I'm one of the cores I'm a core and I love your hat and just doing some gorilla some Gorilla Marketing um you've got the inside of gos about the cause at the Cotto Lounge right oh all I've got is a sort of a blurry photo of them in the background okay so we had a high level Source inside the cot Lounge at the same time as the Coors um did not approach but did get some Vital Information including that Jim core was reading Matthew mcc's autobiography and that's just really kept me going is he the one who's got like is he sort of not necess in favor of vaccines like he's the problem core right is he a problem core I think he is let me look at like you guys Talk Amongst I feel like reading meth M's bio kind of tees up with some of those attitudes somehow you know that he might have some dicey ideas he also looks like a guy from The Man Street preaches doesn't he which Richie the singer I think no okay he's got a personal view section towards Wikipedia which is always a good sign wow he is a member of the 9911 truth movement oh no and operates a website on which he writes about the New World Order oh my God following the death of Laden core maintained that Bin Laden had actually died in 2001 oh he's hardcore problem core oh that's really crazy he opposed lifting the ban on abortion Irish are always going to have odd yeah he's definitely got some views man I reckon that's not even the the half of it but you know just shut up and play the drums old Jim you're all right he's not on the drums well what that's right okay can you just cut that out and make it sound like Jane said it I didn't say that I said that don't do that to me damn that's terrible i've got an idea for one of our last episodes could we feed an AI machine a whole bunch of real poot episodes and get them to make an episode that's a really good idea probably does that exist do that exist yeah I would love to hear what we've actually been doing that for the last year and none of you even realized it does sort of have that feel like we're just we we're we're just reusing the same plain water to make these episodes [Laughter] hey actually I just CU you know you talked about a real life interaction um I forgot to tell you this last week but I was recognized from being on um the Telly well I think it was from being on the Telly hard to say but it was at the gas station and it wasn't my usual lady and she was like do I recognize you from something and I said yes Treasure Island no she like oh that's but no one ever just goes oh you're the lady from Treasure Island you know she just like cuz she don't look bedraggled enough she's like you need to give me the information I need to put put the piece of this puzzle together you should carry a buff at all times you know and make them guess also on Portal Los and the pumps the only time I've Ever Needed physio was when I was camping over a summer and there was a portal and I used the pump and somehow like screwed up my bum what like to the point that I like fell out had to fall out and call for help fall out of the door and call for help from my friends and they had to take me to the to like the Ane your bum broke broke my bum I don't know what happened it like when someon days bum at explore no no no different different different definitely different everything we you know inside it's it was just some sort of weird pulling of a muscle or something yeah so I for one like an athlete exactly like portal athlete I for one uh probably better off if the pumps are no longer needed I just like this new I for one I for one and one for ey one it's Jie's new original podcast coming oh my God should we talk about you care have you got any toilet news dunan you got anything um let me have a think oh yeah again no not really no you you're thinking about a little bit of a toilet story but I just don't makes the very low bar for inclusion on the real which is really saying something it's crazy totally normal toilet week you were on for Duncan so that's great well done yeah congratulations um all right let's do our great mkr recap I have four weeks to decide I'm going to drop my entire black Fe I am disgusted at how much you have copied my husband reality is that a bad sign that going into talking about mkr is like possibly less interesting than talking about portal Loop pumps damn that's true it's just not the same drama and Intrigue I yeah I think it's also knowing there's no kitchen HQ it's like it's nearly over it's only just started and it's nearly all over they don't they don't go into the fancy kitchen but also we lost n and Pops spoiler who were really skips to the end there didn't you I do um but but they were the the sort of they had the most potential for chaos and when you see them go you're like oh this is sort of going to be fine now like there's not really any any drama but if you think about mkr the like the Australian version where they do I think like two rounds of instant rest think about that you watched it oh okay well they normally do two rounds of instant restaurants so it goes on for bloody ages and these heaps of drama but actually once they get into kitchen HQ it's not even really about the teams judging each other's food at all so the drama kind of disappears anyway are we assuming that this was shot in two weeks oh yes absolutely like quite a long time ago as well right like cuz it was sunny I remember they shot for the upcoming episode where they have it at like a a feast Street Feast restaurant that's up the road from my house they were filming that the weekend Cyclone Gabriel hit bloody hell okay so beginning of this year that's the beginning of this year yeah January that was February technically February but yeah yeah anyway don't fact check him ah you did as well you started it you did it first you do report entertain oh my God oh my God this is what a okay back to mkr it's do die for Julia and Matthew for Julia and Matthew for the last uh instant restaurant we were of course at Botanical um in the B plenty for Vicki and Pascal's delicious feast they have murdered all the food they they Sauced everything yeah like everything tell us your pine nut fact oh well assuming that doesn't make the cold open where you know I don't want to start throwing my weight around I think us I think us checking in the podcast is the cold open but anyway true okay well the cold open if we weren't throwing in the podcast was that I went to a very fancy restaurant called Maro in Littleton which seats six people a night on Friday night crazy proper Chef's Table [ __ ] and I was very overwhelmed with a lot of flavors and but the biggest thing I learned is that pine nuts come from Pine kind that's F Lucy Kelly is rolling her eyes right now I watched it happen before me very eyes he cracked open one of the little you know side bits of the pine cone and there was a juicy we nut in there did you eat the juicy we nut I ate the juicy we nut and it from D from con or did you didn't get he take it to the bathroom straight to me and apparently Pine con if you leave them in the sun even when they've been picked they open out like a flower just like no no is crazy I'm sorry maybe that's the new pod yeah as Casey finds out almost anything about nature I bring up your little pine pine nut fact because this is basically what happens at very fancy restaurants and it's happening right here at Botanical which by the way uh NADA doesn't understand why that's the name of the restaurant she thinks that everyone's restaurant names up until this point have had real kind of connection and meaning to the people involved it doesn't seem how this relates to to uh Vicki and Pascal even though all they do is Infuse all the panicles from around their Garden into the food she's just I said Botanical like 7,000 times so many times and even to this amazing theatrical like oh got to grab some chilies right in front of you all so you can see me picking them and putting them into your meal could have done that earlier do you think that there's any chance that NAD and pops are deliberate finding fault with their opponents on account of not wanting to be the bottom they're not in the bottom though they can stop that I know but they've just it's become ingrained and become their personality maybe yeah that's true that's definitely what's happening what a property as well they had know they appeared to have a bmade lake or something out the front no one has needed this 100K Less in fact out of any of these n and Pops I reckon had a more a more of a baller estate this was a bit more rustic well they ain't taking home the under G no that's true ggers um maybe maybe Vicki and pisca want to put on a bougie new pizza oven or something maybe that's what they need the 100K for it's good after giving away 100K to all these worthy Charities to get back to yeah we've got a new government installed and we're back to giving money away to like rich rich ass people back on track she's got the colorcoded spreadsheet when they go to the supermarket it's it's a far cry from everyone else's scribbled on the back of receipts uh type scenario these are two very organized people two designers he's a landscape designer she's an interior designer I'm expecting big things from the restaurant I liked how it felt like Vicki with the organization and just her presence in the kitchen seem to get a lot of kudos for being the brains behind the operation cuz you know I feel like Pascal has kind of dominated any of their on screen time at all and it felt like Manu and Colin were really trying to like focus on Vicki and be like Pascal's not doing anything you're the best I liked it I love that I love Vicki and pescal yeah I really like them I think that they've I think there's been a I don't know a rough edit or a rough representation n and Pops you're so right dun totally the vs totally the vs thank you thank you for acknowledging me being right for once welome um I also liked that Vicki had a martini like it's quite a quite a Punchy old drink to be cooking with I me Fage just swaggers into the kitchen seems cut I mean they so seem cut these two and he's like what are you drinking just took the mai and like nicked it he is Captain Jack Sparrow he also had a moment again I'm going to flash forward to the to the next episode but he had a moment with one of the the new oh which was I have written down this is content he was fluting up stor like and almost caressing and teasing like it was yeah like playful teasing yeah they were like something going on yeah was was he cuz this is his first time judging the New Zealand one right so those gate crashes are not people he my restaurant rolls [Music] correct remember who I only remember the truck through the I remember the truck through the chocolate um crb that's all I remember H the husband and wife who who tracked a lot like mom and son that's saying he was the emo I'm correct I got something right I don't think we said you were wrong we said we can't remember how could you not remember him I don't know all I was trying to say is that I wondered if that playful nature that he had with the gate Crasher was from being on the last season when they were I don't think they were yeah I don't think they were anyway I also didn't sorry jump I didn't realize the gate Crashers meant gate Crashers forever I thought it was just like here for the comp like here for the barbecue no forever they're in the competition I guess if they're returning that's probably like a wow moment for anyone who that was the thing we the I was just like the Mas comes off okay let's talk about the food uh we're back at Botanical uh there's a gin cured oh not cured though rainbow salmon um homemade I I I don't know what's curing it's got to sit in something for ages it's got to be 24 hours is all we know okay so it's just it's just salmon they just need to not say cured just salmon infused infused was more infused than cured drunk salmon e that's quite cool um homegrown beef from their cows some kaawa creeme Brule from their Cawa and some jelly shot J jelly shots they really jelly shots just jelly blocks well they they kind of more like you know in the end um and all looked pretty yum to me uh Manu even wrote yum in his beat root SCE after the appetizer which I've never seen before so these are first it's really great to hear you know high-profile chefs just say yum yeah or even just get your finger in the in the beach right and write it you know that's true not to keep going on about my elaborate dinner on Friday night but I was in a tight well I was in a tight spot because I was the only one eating vegetarian and so I had like a special you know a special edition me so people keep asking me how is it like what are you tasting and stuff I was so under the pump I said yum a thousand times and then one lady asked me about my drink she's like she like how's it and I was like yum you know of course yum and then she's like what can you can you taste can you taste florals and I was thought and I was like yes it that was all asking you there not from the restaurant not from the resta another another Patron um she was trying to intimidate you oh God it was talking about food is really difficult yeah if you don't know what you're doing just food is yum I mean that sums it up it's either yum or it's yuck yeah get over it they should like all that all Mano and colon need are like pet with yum and Yak written on them and that' be it so Matthew Matthew and Julie are sitting at the bottom of the leaderboard they're pretty much ready to go home at this point they they kind of need a disaster from pescal and Vicki which doesn't look like it's coming now n and pops even though they're safe they're critiquing things as if they were the bottom of the leaderboard Matthew however really wants to find something wrong with this but he can't he's just like it's yum and he's too nice well he he is until he comes to score it yeah well that's always the way that's the last Stitch isn't it but it's interesting cuz is there anything else to say I feel like this was it was quite boring episode they just did quite well there weren't any like full-blown disasters the the beef was a bit dry I think their presentation was incredible it was amazing looking yeah there was like a weird moment from Nal pops when they were like they were kind of speculating about the main and they were like they said they could smell Asian flavors and one of them was like oh I hope not hope I hope they bring kiwiana to us I know and like what's kiwiana cuz I feel like maybe it's like the full squ guyand forel and carry yeah um also pops was like I think it was crap which is quite a full-on thing to say yeah uh and we're so at odds with what the judges had to say as well which made it even worse so they got 72 which actually put them reasonably high up second place equal with curtain that's right but when you think about it so they got two fives which were one of which was a self-interested score one one of which is I'm a horrible person score the balance of the scoring was sevens and there was nothing like a fire you know if you'd done the average from the judges it would have been above that so if they'd just been scored normally like the first few players were that they' have got 76 and that would have been tops doesn't matter because they're all safe except for Julia methew it's true but it's the principle did they win I think they probably won on the overall package for mine agree right episode two we're heading of course now that the instant restaurants are done we're heading to Kitchen H get no we're going to the viaduct uh love hearing Manu say Tamaki Makoto that was nice and then the when they're yelling out Kiora to each other that I I love Mano I love Mano I love them both but I love Manu seems to genuinely love being a judge of my generales you know like he's really relishing at Colin I feel like is kind of you know he's it's the gig economy for Colin but but totally but Mano just seems to really like he gets in there with the contestants he loves n and Pops like almost too much really did you get that what did he flirt you know they were very flirty with Manu in particular pops is like would love absolutely love to climb that tree let's be honest but there's a big shake up as we alluded to earlier Jess and Cindy remember them there from season 4 and they're back as g a whole episode Remember When J and Sund just like a that micro it was that's all we got cuz the answer is no we don't remember them we didn't watch season four of mkr I didn't know there was one neither I thought they did one one season one lonely season way back whenn but there was that great one where there was that guy who looked exactly like Johnny Sor was that the first great that was like the third I thought that was it Peak when you were watching and I was reading your Recaps anyway Jon Sunday I think made it right the way to the final they also won the People's Choice in a similar um challenge in this season so they're really excited to be here that's how they talk and monotone completely just like yep well they're from the like mid Lower South Island so in fact they where it says they're from is just south island everyone else has got like specific areas just South Island botony Downs um there's well what's happening they're all cooking and I'm thinking is what they here to do they're I'm thinking the heck the heck here SAU and bread you know Bunnings Barbie just Fire Bread bit of caramelized onion and everyone's going to want that's what you want from barbecue go for volume it did look it did look yum that's the only thing about all the other ones I got to say much as I'm a known hater of N and Pops did think I admired the boldness of making the power and lamb Fredo I was like this is this is crazy that is totally crazy was crazy you know who's got the go and it's them I also think did they do double Seafood they did yeah it was cray food and cray food and scallop we are qualified to be commentating on a food prog we are limping to the LA um yeah I mean I both there's a lot of people who who can't or won't eat sea seafood it's also you know underdone Scoles I'm like that's that's food poisoning waiting to happen no thank you you know I thought I was surprised in a way cuz is it Matt and Kurt they had um you know like that both their dishes seem pretty meh you know like yeah they should have been bom too I I head down because oh those white bait FRS yeah on it are you going to vomit over the very sound of white I was waiting for Alex to start talking so that I could cough and and not interrupt the audio of it all but it never came so all I saw was the all I saw was the two of you looking really scared cor I paused well Samuel's really sick and he wants us to talk about it basically yeah I want you guys to give me $50 each let's continue let's continue okay is that a new show let's continue okay so Matt C also did double down on the seafood yeah um but I suppose when you at the VCT it's pretty you know people very bougie down there they are they they like the seafood uh but yeah no so on any of those things it was very obvious that Ana and Emily were going to be going through that they were safe because one of the dishes was manu's dish of the day so made no there was no kind of tension when they got down to the final toour who was it gonna be should have been Mt Kurt down there do you Reon they make no they they must have bought their baguettes right they definitely bought their baguettes they definitely Supermarket baguettes they when the judges are like the judges are like these are a little bit dry it's cuz we've all had a dry Supermarket beet before haven't we I've very rarely had a wet One Clip there d r hey how come we didn't get invited how come we didn't get invited to this bloody thing or the celebrity dinner that they had next week it really wasn't that Bloody you know free food yeah I was just looking going yum yum and then I was like you know what they could have just let us know what's happening we could have just been members of the public we didn't need any special VIP treatment I'm just annoyed that I didn't get to go and eat all that yum food yeah just got we just got to go to the F more I mean it was the only good must have been the only good day of the summer of 22 23 as well how did that happen I don't know well next time it's sunny I'm going to the vodu just in case I also did you notice I think some people were voting with their little tokens before they had eaten like I feel like some of the public them did they eat them all I don't think so I re system part of it though is like the S like what sounds good what's going to sound good you know what I mean like you've got to attract people to your stand okay I have here I have thoughts on the voting system I think they needed to have boxes lined up at the end like you couldn't vote until kind of like yeah until the the what do you call it eating the end the end [ __ ] is that burned on a scooter it's it's burned on a bike oh I it looked like a to wear a business shirt he wasn't even wearing a helmet oh my God breing potentially breaking he's got today did you could you not see the bottom half when did you think well I saw handlebars I couldn't see the I don't even know what's going on down there to be honest oh it's going to be really boring going back to my voting system suggestion but anyway boxes lined up and then little samples like you know you go into some restaurants and they have all you know like food food street food St they've got like little examples of the dishes so that people can remember who did what and what they're voting for sitting out in front of the boxes my God so you want little like 3D Recreations of the dish like just one of the dishes that they like do not eat don't touch yeah for viewing only you know yeah maybe next time maybe next time I think the public thought they were at like you know when like intermediates do like a school Market day and everyone's got their little beans that they used to buy stuff I think the public thought that they thought that was their money in this moment and they were like thank you for the whatever thank you for the white bit Fred he is my fake money went away and they're like oh no s you know but I think it's through the votes I mean at the end of the day Vicki and pescal one which is probably feir seemed AB they seem they did both like both the add dises the judges didn't really have anything bad to say about them and and also it also seemed like they' spent $1 million on ingredients which is a bit of a hack it is um they will probably just killed their own cow like for example that piece of chuna I don't know how much cuz there's some is it like blue fin tuner or something that cost like 50 Grand a kilo or something it looked like it was that it was so big and proper looking you're like how that must have cost so much money and so like like I was weird not having the the sort of context setting of the supermarket shop or any sense of any budgetary constraints there there's Bernard he made it inside yeah he's gotard watch I think he might be getting a cup of coffee K confirm got pants on chatting with Tina okay BlueAnt tuna 1 kilogram how much do you think blue 2 1 kilogram two grand $45.90 $45.90 yes is that John West can like no how much the market like fresh out of the ocean New Zealand cander gourmet seafood there you go there's a plug H that's for free you don't have to pay anything for that is it yellow what's expensive tuna then specifically selected to meet the sashimi great it's wonderful red pink color rich and fat and melts in your mouth and does it look like what Vicki was using oh no even Colin was like stunned by it look okay I'm going to type in price CH you guys keep talking okay I feel like you're right about the budget thing it seems to make it really unfair cuz what if you were like kavier you know like I'll give everyone kavier wrapped in 20 bucks for my for my barbecue I would add that any of them could have bought that tuna if they wanted to I don't think they bring they're not bringing their own ingredients here like you know like the production's sourcing it for them they tell them what they want to make and they go get but I feel like in this economy maybe the next evolution is yeah like we were saying kind of eat well for Less meat mkr like I feel like it should be what can you do with a 100 Buck or you know 50 bucks you know I would like to say that I was also thinking really Ste cook isn't it isn't really Ste cook where they get given bring it back Jones probably okay so the blue fin tuna is variously described as the Ferrari Ferrari of tuna or the Rolls-Royce of tuna which one is it these are really different guys though they are both expensive it says it's between $20 to $5,000 per pound so that sort of scans with your 4590 but in 20 2019 a Japanese sushi taon that sounds like a cool guy paid 3 1 million for a colossal blue fin tuna weighing 612 P pound making it the world's most expensive tuna what's 612b in Kil wow it's about it's about 277 kg. 599 so look it's a punch I mean assume that's marketing anyway whatever it was it looked like a lot of money in tuna it did it did um what annoyed me and I'd like to just put this forward for production for next season uh not that it really matters at this point but when I was going through trying to do my notes there was no graphic of what the actual dish was that came up when they went through their judging process we need more Graphics we need more Graphics Bake Off style you know the sketch the build the world the the the the time the money the ever I think we have an update on the flowers as well what the floral situation you know how last week Matthew winam whipped into the dairy grabbed a bouquet of flowers um and then we tried to pull to tell us about it and she completely freaked out didn't realize we were talking about something so completely an name she didn't completely freak out she was just like I've got an NDA and I'm not a person of Honor I know but I think she thought she was going to be put on the spot and we were going to ask her to reveal some State secrets about M care but we just wanted to know where the flowers were from because when I told her that she was like oh I probably could have told you that anyway I admire Brock I admire Brock too we did some slow thing on the internet um we figured out the exact Dair where the flower Exchange took place uh and you say we do you mean Matt MCC part of the MCC of the commercial Department one of the three not related to the brook McCauley who's the one we tried to pull in the studio it's very confusing but anyway we found the Deary next to the Dair is a florist okay so I was like huh okay arguably dunc's right that you know they have a relationship with the florist but also it means that the flowers didn't really come from I thought no I thought they went to the Florest and then planted them in the dairy right it was starting to get murky and then it got really murky because a little more slow thing and we found out the florist and the dairy are two different storefronts same place same owners so you can walk between the tow behind the the storefront so you could pick up I mean I'm assuming you can pick up your milk from the florist but you could can certainly pick up your flowers from the Deary so like a vape store it's a bit like yes where is this um magical place how Wick okay yeah what I know so that's where that is I don't really know who's right and who's wrong here Duncan I think Duncan I claim a points victory yeah yeah just because it doesn't happen often that I'm right on this program there's a lot of technical voting you know okay I just love when it's like we've we've this takes up too much of our time this podcast how long did you spend Jan see this is it was there were multiple people I know this is exactly the problem in white can't go on because we are so committed to the work that we do here the only way to not use all our time doing it is to just not do it and you also like found their house like in real life and oh yeah that was uh um and Emily that was in my own time to be fair that wasn't that was off the clock for that it's just hobby still part of your it is it's always in my mind the heavy Vibe um those bloody roses looked yum uh J and Cindy did pretty well for the for the first time uh with this slot I um sorry Sam's like he's pointing at his wrist yeah and then pointing at the clock up there a we're over time we're over time apparently you okay well I don't have anything good anyway I was just going to say I don't like when people say pull your finger out yeah cuz it means out of there like if you you know really think about it that is where they mean out from don't they it's out where else could it possibly be like you're going too slow pull your finger out how does that even what's the like what am I doing sitting around you know people say not doing up much sitting around my finger no they do say that they do and I think it is actually an abbreviation of that phrase that's almost a whole podcast series as well where did we get that from and how come we accepted as a society there's a lot of that I have issue with anyway we won't get it we'll save it for the next the next Generation I am absolutely Googling pull finger after this cuz I want to know more pull finger and then they get confus because it's like pull my finger you know like it's all po relat it's all it's all bum stuff at the end of the day yeah my God that's the tagline for this podcast oh it's all bum stuff at the end of the day that's true well it's the end of the day now theend day chur day chist Church the sun is actually setting right now um hey we've got celebrity guests we've got celebrity guests
