Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gaily and Emily Jade one of two nine Hot Tomato.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you get involved in the show today double five
seven nine, we have a double past too Hot Tomatow's
exclusive preview screening of Disclosure Days from Steven Spielberg. We
deserve to know the truth only in cinemas in June eleven.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey, we've got the right to change our mind. I
just banged on about something on a community page, and
it is something. It was about a home invasion that
went a little bit wrong. But then since on the
community page, Queen Queensland Police have mentioned or that comments,
it may not have happened. So then I thought, well,

(00:36):
the scenario is good. Wooks still unpack that, but we
have found another story that would be a what But
we want to go to this story straight away, all right,
So forget what we just said. We're changing it up,
all right, And I think when I say this, you'll
be glad that we did. Yeast growing in the guts
of a frozen mummy for thousands of years has been

(00:59):
you to make a tasty sourdo bread. No, no, he's
been bacon it for years, more than five three hundred
years ago. OTSI the Iceman was strolling on the border
of Austria and Italy when he was killed right, and

(01:21):
he remained frozen in ice until two hikers stumbled across
his mummified remains in nineteen ninety one. You might actually
remember when this story came out. He's quite famous. But
since then his remains have been kept at the same temperature,
which allowed scientists to extract the yeast and make a
very very good salad doll. No, is that just not okay?

(01:44):
And the question is quite simple for everyone is would
you eat it?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
No, take a vote, and what would you call it?
Count of three, all of us say our answer, would
we eat dead man's sour dough?

Speaker 4 (01:58):
One?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
T No, you try it? No, you don't try it.
There's no rules of making it without trying. Well, if
you don't want a bungee jump, you just say no,
so you don't.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Have to try it just because your friends are jumping
off the bridge. Do you have to?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I still wanted to try it.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Really, it sounds delicious.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
What do you mean? Well, didn't they say it sounds
its tasty?

Speaker 1 (02:23):
And why would they lie? It makes a very very
good sour.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I just think what are scientist doing? They've got this body.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
They're looking at it, researching it, learning about it, and
then one of them goes, I'm hungry, let's make bread
out of his stomach yeast?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So yeast is used in beer. Would you drink dead
man beer?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
That's different.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'm ruling dead man beer like I'll have a lager.
I'll have it. I'll have an atzi please because his
name was Oti. Oh my god, so said four x.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
It's four dead four d ye four D.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
And the bread? What do we call dead man bread?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Or is it just that dead man?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Do dead man do? Sour?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Dead dead? Yeah? Sour before he was dead?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Ye, whole meal, hole dead, white bread, white dead dead?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
So is there a play on words with panini?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
What about instead of for kasha da kasha dead cashasha pasha.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, it's a different You can actually use pakashia better
than that, but you can't say what I was okay? Yeah?
So what would you call the bread? And would you
eat it? Double? Five seven, one two nine?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Give us a call.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Is there anyone else like Jake listening right now, who
would actually eat that?

strawberry jam on it.
