Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation, let's gone down to the Jonesy
demand of arms to the pub test and this is
something that you brought to the table. Amanda, Well, that's right.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I was in Tokyo for a week with my sons
over the holidays, and we're in this tiny little place,
little sushi train, and it wasn't a big sushi train,
and they the traditional people working behind the in the kitchen,
there were very slowly putting out little trays of foods.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
As happened.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
There was a couple of European guys that were sitting
a couple of they're sitting up stream from us. Put
it that way. So when the food was put onto
the sushi train, I just took it all because the
food was coming out quite slowly. It wasn't like a
mass produced sushi train. It was old school, so the
food was being placed on the train quite slowly, and
they were taking all the plates. And the three of

(00:48):
us sat there for twenty minutes watching these two hogs
and their plates were stacking up and up and up
and up, and they I thought, if I was in
that position, I would have let a few fish go
down stream to the hungry bears. Are waiting it further down,
and I've.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Eaten sushi with your sons, particularly Jack. Yeah, he would
have been salivating like Pavlovs or the Japanese equivalent. My
thing is, with sushi, there's a there's a degree of
dicking around, not as bad as Teppanyaki, you know, when
they get a.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Tep kicking around with sushi trains where you.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Go when they're making it because they're artists. They're making
the stuff. You don't know, and granted, not like Teppanyaki
when the guy's doing all the stuff and you know,
doing a love heart out of sault. Just make just
the stuff and give it to me. Okay, oh it's
my anniversary.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Look give me that lobster brain, now hurry up. Well,
the etiquette is interesting because you think it's all right
to sit there and it's your right to take what's
in front of you as soon as the food's there
at the train.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
The train, you're not supposed to say, do you wonder
if those those folks down there and they are they hungry?
You don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
We're only sitting three seats away. My glaring nostrils should
have given it away because.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
She would have been huffing at puffy.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Of course I was. Of course I was, and we're
saying for loudly, I'm starving. They didn't give into any
of them.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Have you got a serving? A passive aggressive one planning?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
They couldn't speak English, So hogging the sushi train does
it pass the pub test.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's not right.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
You should have allowed food to go through. It's like
the ones at the buffet that will stand there a
load of plate up with everything out of a tray
and leave nothing for anybody else. It's wrong. We're all
cheer to eat and enjoy our life. I think does
not pass the ups They should have let some of
those plates go through. The sushi train is going to

(02:33):
be a continued stream of plate, so let someone go
through and get the.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Next flit around.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, and I reckon those should most of the carriages figger,
make them wide, make them longer, and everybody good food.
So I believe, whether you're going to a sushi train
or or you can eat buffet, I believe that sharing
is caring. Otherwise I believe that you just becoming an
absolute peak and it's not caring for anybody else.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Sharing is caring. Tomorrow, do they ask too many questions.
They hadn't gone to subway. There's too many quests.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Should the Sushi train be made wider and longer, build
it on bigger tracks, get a bigger.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Gauge, and then they'll all go and strike. We want
more money.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm going to graffiti it next time.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
We got to tag the Sushi train
