MINI: Toasties Part 2

 

Want the inside scoop on this radio station’s cost-cutting measures?

By the end of the week, milk supplies run so low that we’re forced to hide the last bottle in the studio. Even the ABC probably has more milk than us. Bread deliveries are dwindling, the soap is watered down, and the filtered water isn’t even cold anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I Heart Podcasts. You can hear more gold one I
four point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the
free iHeart app. Got anything good?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's like at the end of time sometimes this radio station.
The other week we're asking you, could you give us
some bread because they only let us have bread every
two weeks.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm not even a joker. They give us.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Bread every two weeks and now normally on a Wednesday
to Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Milk supplies get real low y, yes, yeah, start getting today.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
They wasted five minutes a day going through four different
fridges trying to find milk.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Have you seen real?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I've brought it into the studio. There is a hummingbird's
beak of milk, and I get through about five to
six cups per show.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't know if I'm going to make it through
the show with my tea. That's hard. That is a
hummingbird's beak worth of milk.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
There's stacks of almond and no couches. You can't put
those in hot water because they discussed.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh my god, there's nothing worse than that.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You would think that we are working for some kind
of community.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Outpost radio station. Wouldn't you not the city's biggest radio station. Screwg.
Even ABC would have more milk than were asking. This
is the bread. We're low on milk.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
They've got hand sanitized that they walked water down to
hand cordial. I'm pretty sure, I reckon, they're going to
be reducing oxygen levels or we're going to come in
one day and it's just like you expect to bring
your own candles.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
We're in a show by candle. I reckon.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
They've also turned off, you know, the filtered tap water,
like it's not cold anymore, so I reckon, that's saving.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's looke warm.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm pretty sure as well that the lighting around the
station isn't as as luminous.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
As it used to be.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's like, Sue, the moss has got a dimmer swish
at home, and that's what you got that emoji.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I was right. I called it yesterday, Sue, any who's
he Yesterday?

Speaker 1 (02:18):
On the show, Patsy rocked us by saying that when
she's making a toasty she doesn't do butter on the outside.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Crazy crazy, But actually there were quite a.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Few people saying they don't either, which I don't understand.
And then we were talking about butter dishes. Turns out
a lot of our listeners, it's not just a fancy
English thing, are rocking the butter dish, including Tad listening
to us right now in Darwin.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
How can you have that butter outside the fridge?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
You're having milk, Tad, that is not butter. Even in
a dish, it won't be able to protect it from
the climate of Darwin. Christian, I'm a dairy lover. Do
you mean dairy farmer?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, just maybe likes their cheese and butter and milk.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
And ros well he grew up milking cows by hand.
Oh wow, you know, because that feels like a confession.
Now everything in life is context. If it was this
I'm a dairy lover, I love cheese, but the dairy
lover then going into I grew up milk and cows
by hand, especially when Tad the rest of this message

(03:22):
goes on to say, so I'm butter on the inside
and out.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Maybe we move on, Yeah, move on anyway, Cad. Thank
you very much.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
So many emails that came in yesterday after the show.
Tom Christian hearing you guys, yesterdy Mo on talk about toast.
He's got my mouth water and it had to make
one for lunch. Ham mature cheddar slice, tomato on the
crucial detail, butter on the outside. What a game changer.
Thank you for guiding me towards the light with this.
I'm a change man. I never used to put butter
on the outside. Tom happy to show you promised land

(03:52):
like a Moses. Peter Krishan was on my way to
work yesterday. Listen to the show. I have a twist
on these. I buy the oversized loaf and make a
toasty pie. Oh I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, I use a pie makeer of this.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You put so many on the inside, so egg, bacon, tomato,
grated cheese, onion. The best part is they have handles
from the oversized bread so it's easy to hold. Trust me,
this is a winner.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
What I've got a pie maker? Have you from at
home that I've never opened. I've got it at km UP.
I am happy to bring it in and.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
We try that.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
What is it? What is it?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Pie maker?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
So it's like a sandwich press. Yeah, circular, No, it's
sort of well, the slots are and it might have
I think it's got like four or six different actual
individual pie holes if you like.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
And you I gections, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
And then you just put your pastry and you're filling,
and then you put the handle, you know, the lid
down and it cooks it like a sandwich press, but
for pies.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
So I think that's best left of the pros. I
bet you all homemade bikes suck a toasty. You can
do that at home to a reasonable standard, can't you.
But a pie. I think there's so much more to
pie making.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I would have been in COVID, I remember, because came
popping off. You actually went to my friend's house and
he did a pie party and they were damien.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
After listening to the show this morning The best way
to cook a toasty, I was astonished to return home
from work in the afternoon my daughter was cooking one
in the air fry w I mean, I love using
my air frop but I didn't know you could do
a toasty in My daughter tells you wants me to
tell you if she's adamant. The only way to get
a good combination of crunchy caramelized bread and gooey cheese
is the air fryer. I had some not convinced. Give

(05:41):
it a go though, Guys, that's from and also this
email came in this week. Christian know howe you well,
I'm your neighbor sort of. I lived close to the
Gold Studios. I had a funny interaction with you once
when you tried to get in my car.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I think you thought it was an uber. I still
laugh about one. It's best we let keep that between us, Okay.
I don't know how that got through. Christian Connell Show
