Speaker 2 (00:12):
Brian. Did you hear the one about the mushrooms that
missed the truck?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Thanks Brian.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
You get the text message last night about eight o'clock, Oh,
the mushrooms missed the truck. And then you say yourself,
how the hell the other one the truck? Now they
missed the truck, you know what happened. They're just sitting
there flat and so you're on the lookout for flat
mushroom base to be the first call this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, okay, there's never a dull moment in your trade, really,
isn't there.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
No, it's a bit of a regular one with missing
the truck. It's a classic one nowadays. You know, you
get something, you buy it online, you get a career package,
you get an email or a text coming through. But
with veggies now, they don't know where they are mate,
they could be anywhere, just lost.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
All right.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Well that's the bad news flat mushrooms, But the good
news on the veg front, a lot of summer vegetables
are coming online.

Speaker 2 (00:56):

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Cheap tomatoes, you know, around the three dollars a kilo mark,
ridiculously cheap capscumb's cucumbers the same your cucumbers. See them
on Jerry was on TV the other like TV one
with seven sharp talking cucumbers.

Speaker 2 (01:08):

Bit of a funny one like that, do aren't you really? Yeah,
cucumbs cheap caps comes are cheap too. Down from like

one to two dollar mark. You're beginning those avocados who
are moving up at touch, not a lot of around prices,
just shipped, not to an end, but just supplies a
lot we picked early and taking away and seen overseas

(01:51):
