What do you think it is to Okay, yeah, well

It's sixty. We in our society we're preoccupied with youth.
I'm not old. I'm not old. Oh you know, it's

that produces wisdom.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
We went, We went to Popeye's Chicken for dinner. They
went for a bike ride around Cornwall Park.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
So it was great.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
But the best part, the best part was I jumped
into the Suzuki Swift to take the boys somewhere and
they laid out post it notes all over the swift
with with messages, with delightful messages, smelling out your name.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Internally internally.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
So there's like there's there was one with an I,
an a a drawing of a door and you I
adore you.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I doesn't that's nice.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That doesn't get much better.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
What's the best what's the best meal on the Popeye
Chicken menu? Because I've never been to Popeye Chicken.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I'll tell you what. No, it's nuts going down south,
down to Louisiana. Get yourself some southern fried chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Get this.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I think the Spicy chick because they have the breosh
buns as well, So get the spicy chicken sandwich.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
But get ready for spice.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
What do you pay for a Popeye's Louisiana Southern?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I think it's like eighteen bucks for a dollar a combo.
Yeah it's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's worth it. It's worth it.
So it's a it's a tree to drink on the side.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah, you get your casun, your spicy Casun fries. But
but of course it does make laboring around car will.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Park on a bike a bit harder. Well, your lucky
cornwall park wasn't closed because it was breezy yesterday. What
it is the most popular, by the way, burger in America,
the Popeye's chicken ham sandwich whatever we just called it now, Katie, body,
what was he banging? What was body banging?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Just making flat bread?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
But he was making the flatbread with both arms.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, I just I was just worried for his I mean,
last I saw he was, you know, hobbling off a
field and then in a sling, So I was just concerned.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Was he Did he have a sling on when he
was banging the flat bread?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I don't think so?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Did you? Did you hit Jordie up about this this morning?
When you don't ask?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, I didn't know. It's didn't And and that's from a
journalistic point of he was fantastic. Glenn didn't think so.
Glenn was moaning left right and center about Jordie. But
I loved Jordy. Why because but difference.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Between between Razor and Jordie and I loves exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
And it's not unfair of me to say, just just
for the record, Katie, it's not fear of me to
say Hannah's my favorite Barrett, is it?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
When you say you and Hannah have got a thing.
I think the thing you think you've got with Hannah
is that she's long sufferingly has to put up with
body periodically tuning into the mic hosking Breakfast, which would
not be her favorite pick of the station.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Hannah loves me so that.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I think when you say Hannah loves you, that's probably
just a bit of a stretch.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Body loves you.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Can we and of you Hannah the next time?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
There may be why don't we get Hannah for the
all Black?

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think, yeah, get Hannah and get hand to tell
the truth, the record straight.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
What we do.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
What we need to know is but what are the rules?
I mean, if you were on ACC, this is the
classic ACC scenario, isn't it. You go right, I'm on ACC.
I can't go to work. I've got a sling, I
got an AC. Next thing, I'm on Instagram banging flat
bread with no sling on. What are ACC doing? You
know what they're doing, don't you?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, but he's a machine.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
When you say banging flat bread, he was probably just
like using the strength of most most people's little finger
to do that, you know, because he'd be a machine.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Do you know who do you know who I'm disappointed
in this morning? Andrew Ldison?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So all asme?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Goodness, Allison got a band of John's elbow, right, He's
got a band of John's elbow. And I go past, and,
being the caring sort of person, I said, first thing
I said to all this, I said, you, mate, are
you okay? I said, and he goes, It's just.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, that's the first Sally.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
That's the first Sally because I've I've experienced your quote
unquote care and when I walked in with the with
the brace on my wrest and You're like, oh, what
have you done?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Have you been? Have you been running it? This is?
This is you know this, Kate? Don't you? Mike Costing
care no.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Care under any circumstances. He said to Andrew, are you okay?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Exactly? What do you call this? Your posse?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
What happened to you?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Exactly? What a soccer bubba? By the way, can you
pass me meramikan full of spray strawberries?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now, Mike, there are two Hannah Barretts. Scott's wife is
also Hannah. There's a fun fact in the morning. I
didn't know that, did you know that? Caddie?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I did not know that.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Did you know that?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Hey that that of course.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
You're running is so cool?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Can we get? Can we get?

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Can we enter?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
No? No, this the standard rules. It's a fair It's
probably to be fair, Katie, she's just a week the
small print and all in all competitions friends and family
members of the people involved.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
They should have incorporated you into the prize like you
would escort them on the trip and give them some
fun facts about Melbourne and give them a little ticky tour,
take them for a wine tasting.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, I know a lot about Melbourne. Actually, now that
I think about it, I think the the the entertainment department,
what do they call the promotions department? I think that
they probably missed that. They missed a trick there, because if.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
You could, could this be a side hustle for you
to a guide.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Barry Holland Remember Barry Holland, Of course I do. He
used to go on those. He used to take listeners
on trips all over the place. Murray Olds, who's a
Stralian guy. He's just back from a trip with listeners.
And Layton did the old trip with a listener and
so I might have to did we know that was Africa.
We didn't want to go to Africa. Who wants to

(06:03):
go to Africa for good mis sake? I'd love to
go to Africa. Why did you do the trip Africa?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Want on off?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Funnily enough, I'm going to get it if I'm going
to Popeye's Chicken age sixty shoot me. I think that's
a little bit unfair, isn't it. Mike, get into Popeye's asap.
Try the potato and gravy and the tenders. It's more
costly than KFC, but well worth it.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Where poye we're out and uh I was out?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
And I think there's one tuck in any and Papa
Toy Toy.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
But what about for the rest of the country listening?
Are there any an Inbicago and Blenham's.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
There's not there's not not that not that I know,
because it's not like you know, I've got Popeye's radar.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Okay? But right, so anyway, so I say, mate, are
you okay? And so he goes it's just a little
pre emptive tennis elbow treatment, And I said, well, what
I said, what are you talking about? Preempted? Do you
have tennis elbow or do you not have tennis elbow.
You can't if you don't have tennis elbow, put a
bandage on your arm. What sort of pussy are you?
I said, getting slightly aggravated. He turned around at that

(07:11):
point because he got embarrassed because he knew he'd been sprung,
because I know he doesn't play tennis. For a start,
he he injured himself opening a tin, opening a jar.
He was wrestling with the jar, and he wrestled with
it so much that by the time he got it open,
he gave himself tennis elbow.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I do think.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Is a thing though, that your elbows as fish as
you get older.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
And here we go.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Quite sore, and I think it is a record sports.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
But he isn't racket sports. Of course, if you play
tennis sports, but.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Isn't a Q it's not a racket sports. Yeah, I
mean it's like a tin of gerkins. I was playing
pickle ball.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
No you weren't. You were trying to open a ten
of gerkins. That that's completely different.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
You know what I actually think might forget the tour
guys stuff. You can work for a sc You're the
first line of defense against paying out what you.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Make injuries exactly next yeah, exactly. Okay, just quickly on
your actually, Tim, you'd be better. Do you know what
jellies are? These jellies I was talking about earlier on
in the morning, these toys? What jelly cats?

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Yeah, there's something right now.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh, for goodness sake, we've got someone in the house,
have I Okay.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Yeah, we do the very the plush little soft toys
that collectibles, and the kids go nuts to them. What
I can't work out is they're very small. They're just
like a small soft toy that really super clash and stuff.
But they're so expensive. Like she's got this little white
bunny rabit. It was like seventy eighty bucks.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Cool I paid for that.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
You might have taked it, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh yeah, go on, I gotta go. I've got to
go read these names out for this.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
You got you got to go and work that works
some more to pay for the jelly toys more on
the way we're Lulu was going crazy exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
So anyway, I've got to read three names out and
and we'll give away the price. Do you think I
could inject myself into it in the late part of
the competition.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
To go Yeah, and with the plus one because I
want to go.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You want to go to? Honestly, jelly Cats, if we
went to Melbourne, would you actually be interested in the
motor racing or would you just go, oh, look, I'll
go over there and you go, we'll see you later
in the day.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
No, that's the whole point of going.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's the that's the only thing that attracts me to
Melbourne right now.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, Melbourne's a dump.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Unfortunately, you've already got your lines for the.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Exactly. That's not a good Hi, guys, it's such a dump. No,
I'm probably not.
