So Manaia went onto The Conclave - the Hauraki Breakfast Discussion Group on Facebook - and asked for your suggestions on what we could talk about.
Some claim that it's an attempt to make our content more inclusive, others think it's a real "slap it into neutral" trick.
Either way... one person wanted to hear an updated list from Jerry of his top 5 fast food burgers...

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've got a bunch of stuff on the from the
conclave that will just work our way through this thirty
two comments, so we can just we'll get a week
out of this.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh yeah, we need longer, we need a month.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Here we go, I got contain party. Pusil Brownie shot
me telling me our boyfriend to be on the talk
top and.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
On the podcast Tuesday, the eighteenth of November twenty twenty.
I've strut over twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Now you're just about over it.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I am no minded twenty twenty five, but I look them.
I'm loath to say that I want it to be
over because then this twenty twenty six, that'll go quite quick,
then this twenty twenty seven. And if you're my age
forty eight, you've only got forty plump seasons till death.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, they'll be grim plump seasons too. I am doesn't
get better from it. Yeah, I feel like we've all
been in a time warp. But I think we're talking
about this the other day. You feel like, basically from COVID,
it just like rocketed Ford and all of a sudden
you're like, I'm my fucking thirty four.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Why you lost some years there in the middle.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I was like twenty nine at one point and now
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Is it because you and Matt Ward were drinking every
day during COVID and it took you that long to
come out of your drunken slumber.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
You'll never get twenty nine back again, but it has
gone to be fair. I don't want it back, but
but there's still bits of you. There's still the bits
of the twenty nine year old lift. But most of
the cells that you were when you were twenty nine
don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is why your tastes change, isn't it because your
taste buds basically every seven years there've been no resemblance
to the taste buds you used to have, So it
you know, tripackles again.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Isn't that weird? So your I think it's seven years
eighty and of a complete human as not any of
the cells are not the same anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So it's worth having a crack again at some foods
like That's That's why I think the older you get,
the more you like fuck, I love olives, you know
stuff like that. You see people as they get older,
the stuff that you see in a chakuderie board. In
your twenties, you're like, who the hell would ever eat that?
Then once you're in your mid to late thirties, your
staff gun.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, Chuck's one of those hard to choke herts. It's
a hard choke hart with.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Can you packle that onion?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And I love it? Bagled onion. Yeah, it's that kind
of stuff as yours, like your liver and your heart
and all that stuff. Is that replaced every seven years?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The cells that because I reckon where do they go?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
The cells? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I know this? You poo them out?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So a lot of like your blood cells and stuff
as well. What Yeah, it's not all just food. That's
a lot of other like body waste that comes out
of your poos.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
It's so weird.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Do we think we're going there? Five minutes into this,
let's pivot and thankfully I've taken to the Conclave. If
you've only listened to this podcast, you knew have been
on Facebook before. I could highly recommend it. It's a
great social media platform. And on that we've got a
private page called the Conclave. You request and we'll approve it.
And then and then you can shield whatever you want,
and an effort to kick it entirely into neutral. This
(03:14):
week I asked what people wanted us to talk about
on the podcast. I used a photo of you talking
to our tour guide from Austin.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Is that what that is?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Connor?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Luck you didn't bur it there on here. I could
see you're about too.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That was nearly an evoluntary.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You nearly heat.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Nearly any I use that pacture just to get people's attention,
And so people have commented what they want us to
discuss on the podcast. Also, alongside slagging me off for
outsourcing my work to other people, really.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I actually like what you've done him, and I feel
like it's very inclusive.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I was gonna try and fire back and say, oh,
this is my way of getting people involved in it,
but no, that's exactly what it is about, sourcing it
into neutral, kicking the bits into neutral.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Why wouldn't you outsource the situations? I mean, I understand
the idea of some kind of insular show where everything
must come from inside your brain. I mean that that's impossible,
isn't it?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Exactly, And what is your brain that's changing cells? Anyway? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Point so in seven years.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Is that what you're saying, Jerry, we should change our
names every seven years.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I've thought about that. I've thought about giving if I
was to have a kid, giving it a dynamic name
that changes as it ages. So you know, I guess
that's things like like Robert, because you'd be little baby Bobby.
You know, when you're a kid and you become Bob,
then you might become Rob. Then you know, once you're
(04:44):
old and gray, you have become Robert.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, of course. But I spoke to someone the other
day at a party and they had a good point.
They said, I named my children for adults because I
realized that most of their life, you know, past eighteen
to twenty, was going to be an adult because he
reckoned most people name their children as children, and he
(05:07):
named his his children Fred and Arthur.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Not great baby names, No, I've got to say they
are definitely good old person names.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Great old people names. Yeah, you're older for longer than
a baby. Because I think that about Greg Pribble. Here's
my baby, Greg.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Greg's not a name. I don't think there's been a
kid named Greg for I don't know thirty years.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I had a flatmate who is a couple of years
younger than me. Whose name's Greg baby thirty thog.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm just trying to think of some young gregs.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Craig, Yeah, I think Craig Craig.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Why Americans called Craig's Creig?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Why do they call jaguars jaguars jaguar? These are the issues.
But yeah, like there's a lot of names out there
that don't we did one of these recently? Do we
look for the youngest Griggs Griggs and Crags Craigh? Was
it the youngest Clive? Yeah, maybe we need to reheait
that one again, but anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Clive is quite a good name. Clive. I always thought
that was from Clive Tackerman, my old woodwork teacher. Always
thought ridiculous name. But actually I've come around on Clive.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I think when I hear Clive, that's just me. Should
we take a quick break and address the first comment
on the post on the conclave?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Ha, wow, look about the podcast? You ever win anywhere?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, you never win anywhere? So that happened about the spread?
Uh Arden Young's comments that on my post entirely outsourcing
my own brain to the listener. Could we please get
a revision of Jerry's top five fast food burgers often
think about how right he was cannsistently putting the Hawaiian
(07:01):
BK chicken at number one.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh yeah, God, I have an extent. I don't know
if they've got the Hawaiian BK chicken anymore. I used
to get one every week because I used to drive
out to tennis over the shore and play with my
play tennis with my friends, and we had a tennis
group for about five years, and so I would eat
a Hawaiian BK chicken every bloody Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
A pineapple in there, yeah, then.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
In the long bun. Yeah. I used to cut it
in toes and it's got the bacon in it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Bacon, crisp lettuce and sweet juicy pineapple. It's still available.
That's still cooking their bitch.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's good to know because at KFC, I've now gone
on to the zinger stacker.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Now, is that the one with the hash brown in it?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
No? The Burger Towers.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love the Burger Tower in my teens.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Holy shit, you want to soak up some hangover, then
grab yourself at Burger Towerburger Talburg Haliburger. The zinger stack
is two pieces of Zinger with bacon and cheese. Right,
it's good man with some hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I mean, I can't go past the original Zinger burger, though,
I honestly reckon that'll be my death throw meal, a
Zinger burger.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I like you just to try a Zinger Stacker.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I would like to try a Zinger stackers. The only
thing is I've been scared straight after seeing one hundred
and eleven on the scales the other day. Well, to
be fair, that same day I had actually had a
Zinger combo. I got the burger meal where they give
you the wicked wings and the potato and dravy.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh, this is the thing. I mean, that's the problem
is the potato. I mean, do you know the other
day I had a Zinger Stacker combo, but just no,
I didn't up size. I just went to the standard size.
And then the next day I had another Zinger stack
of combo. So two days in a row and a
whole lot of other crap, you know, like eat heaps,
and I was drinking on the booze and I jumped
(09:08):
on the scales because in the morning I thought, oh
this is gonna be I'm I'm gonna be up in
the high nineties, and it was the same. Yeah, it
was ninety three point six or whatever. I am moreriy
faim and it was exactly the same. And I was like,
I don't know if the Zinger I don't know if
that Zinger Burger is actually that bad. I think it's
(09:29):
the massive drink and the massive fries with the potato
and gravy. That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, So there are more calories in the chips than
there are in the burger, and far more in the drink.
So if you go, if you forgo the chips or
even just go small as a real hack there and
then go obviously zero on the drink, or go no
drink and just get the burger. Burger is only about
three hundred calories or something, which is not a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I know three.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Hundred bloody good calories too.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But do I know, I go the fucking upside. It's
the large chips with the potato and gravy, two worked wings,
fucking way too much counting on the week.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
There's the issue. Yeah, but if you just love the book,
because the other thing is that's just basically chick. I mean,
that's protein the chickens bloody good.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
No, it's great similar I think fat to protein ratio
of like a sausage. So it's not terrible for you.
But I just lost my mind over the weekend over
and Dodge anyway, scared straight saw the one hundred and eleven.
So you've still got the Hawaiian beca chicken at number one.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
No, nah, because I haven't had it for so long.
I'm going to go nowadays. I'm going to go with
that Zinger stacker. Wow, that's my new. That's my new
go to number one, number one, and then I'll go
I'll go number two.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Gross, I'll go studio underneath it.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Okay, I'll go number two.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Big Mack.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Was going to say, you have you tried the chicken,
Big Mac Jerry.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Nah, I don't like McDonald's burgers. I reckon. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So this is for some reason I thought it was
only chicken burgers.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Sorry fast burgers.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Oh, I know there's a there's a better burger that
I had on the commentary the other day with the
acc commentary from the Uber eats, and it was a
it was a beef and ah, do you know what?
Do you know what I'm gonna this is a this
is a self source, but my number two burger as
the as the beef and beef cheeseburger from Bedford. Fuck,
(11:35):
it was a saucy American dog.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Dude. I had one of those on Friday. This is
That's what led to the one eleven. Man, it was good.
That is such a good burger. Is it's a it's
almost like a you know, like those wet sandwiches they
do overseas. Yeah, it's like one of those.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Man. It was good. Heaps of cheese and the petties
not overdone, but it's a big, thick petty and then
the there's just lots of lots of mayo and there's
lots of mustard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So you're going that at number time, going, but are
we counting that as a fast top five fast food burgers?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is it fast food?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well? And then I'll go the better burger, Yeah, because
you can get it on her breaths? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Can you wish I didn't know that?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
And then I go, I like the bastard from from
what's his face?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Burger fuel Burger Fuel Burger fire Burgers that I desire.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Down Burger should I quite like download Burger Download Burger download.
There's a there's a franchise. It's it's on Ponsonby Road
and downtown as well. I'd go down.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'd go, Yeah, I think I'd go down and then five.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Super Burger from the unnamed fish and chip shop on
Great North Road that doesn't ever name.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
There are some pretty irs here.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
The super Burger. The super Burger's five dollars. It's for
what you get there, Boy, that's super burger. That's got
so it's got a hash brown and an egg.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I just like I'd like to apologize because I could
have been doing this number five the whole way through that.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Sorry, I think we got there. Okay, I would go
and I'm going a bit more mainstream here. I'm going
a bit more accessible. Zinger Burger number one. As I said,
death Rowmeal. I gotta be honest. I think a big
Mac the is it the second best burger you'll ever
(13:32):
eat in your life? No, but it's the consistency for me.
A big Mac is a big Mac is a big mac.
The best one is just as good as the shittest
one you've ever had, and you know what you're gonna get.
There is variants in a Zinger burger. I had a
bad one on the weekend. Yeah, but I just think
the Big Mac in terms of consistency. Also, if you're
half cut at the drive through and you can't make your.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Mind up, that's a fair point.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You're safe as houses going a Big Mac combo.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah, if you tasted the Burger sauce. There's a Burger
sauce which is exactly the Big Mac sauce.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And the girl can get stuck in the top of
the bottle.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, once you once you've had that, you go. The
source is the track of the Big Mac.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yes, and so I don't Yeah, and so I'll put
it in there. Like again, is it the second tastiest
burger in the world. Probably not no, But when we're
talking top five fast food burgers, it's it's safe. It's
a safe pair of hands at number two. At number three,
I'm tossing up between two burgers. I could probably put
a bracket around three and four. I don't mind the whopper.
(14:32):
I know this is a missionary that's cool list, but
I don't mind the whopper. It's a lot bigger than
you remember because I I feel like you don't have
whoppers very often, but anytime you get a whopper, you're
always pleasantly surprised at how big there bitches you.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Check you're putting anything extra on that one.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I never customize my order okay, anywhere for anything. Okay,
I don't know why, but I'm just like, don't lazy. Yeah,
it is laziness. It's like it's like people who checked
bag every time they get I just I look at
fast food as I gave you twenty bucks? Did you
give me twenty bucks with the food?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Sweet?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Let's get out of it. I feel like, yeah, exactly,
I don't care if it's like, actually, I've seen pickles
and who gives a fuck? Just take your food like
it's slop, you know what I mean? You pay them,
they drop, they drop that slop in the bag, and
then you fuck off. Did you get twenty bucks with
the slop? Sweet? We'll take your greasy pig, fat ass
it's pre poo, is what it is, and enjoy it.
Yeah exactly, that's exactly what it is. So I'm never
(15:28):
going to nickel and dime people at the fuck. Also,
it's like a bunch of fifteen year olds in there
whipping up some slop. They don't care about this job.
They don't care about you, So what are you going
to nickel and dime them for?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Just I would I would like that more if you
be grateful. If it was winning and losing, it's generally losing.
You generally don't win. There's very raally that they that
they put something extra in there.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Chips maybe, but I think that I don't know. People
lose their minds. They expect they expect fast food, Like,
how how do you do you think they managed to
make a burger in the time it took you to
drive from one window to the next window by cutting
some fucking corners. All right, Now, that's going to mean
every now and then they're going to fuck your order
up so bad. That's the game you play at a restaurant,
different thing, but fast food. So that's three and then four.
(16:16):
This one's a little bit of a departure from the
main menu. I go to MC spicy when i'm a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I agree that one.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The mixed spicy. Now that's a chicken burger, but it's
like spicy.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Have you never had a mix spicy?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
You know? The only thing I can think of that's
max spice is that picture of Ruder that's looking at
me on the zone.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Now hang on, you've maxed spicy.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You've now put me off the burger. But yeah, I'll
go the MC spicy in there and then the fifth
one again. I don't know if they do this, I'll
look it up.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Have you been to Carl's Junior.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm thinking that. I'm my list I'm compiling is I'm
trying to get burgers. Everyone can act this. And there's
not a Car's Junu everywhere, you know, there's barely a
Burger King. But if there is, can I recommend the
Barbecue Rodeo Burger from BK. That thing's got barbecue sauce,
(17:12):
it's got mayo, and it's got onion rings in it. Now,
it's quite small, so you may want to get two
or some larger Vieri end of the Barbecue Rodeo Burger.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
But that sauce sauce is the key, isn't it. I
mean you need a saucy burger. It's a really nice
patty and good sauce. You know, I don't like chopped
up lettuce. I've got to say, what can they not?
Just can you not just put a whole leaf in?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So if I'm at homemaking burgers. I will not put
I will not put tomato, and I won't put lettuce.
And unless I've got two leaves, I'll put a leaf
of lettuce in ye. But yeah, chopped lettuce.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Oh, look so much better the leaf, especially if it's
iceberg lettuce. And it's the hard part of the end.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
The crunch, Oh, the crunch.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
There's two pieces of lettuce on top, one bottom.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
There's a top fuss, all right, should we knock this
spartard on the head. And again, if there's something you
want us to discuss, get into the conclave and comments
on that post. You'll see it's the picture of Jerry
standing over a small man of Mexican descent in a
blue T shirt.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
This is going to keep us going to the you know,
December the nineteenth, when we finished.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Hopefully, yeah, thank god, might get twenty twenty six out
of this story.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I sound like some fucking weird doctor and Grays aenemy.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Spicy be called Max Spicy Mix, Spicy Rudexpicy Help Jesus
tur
We've got a bunch of stuff on the from the
conclave that will just work our way through this thirty
two comments, so we can just we'll get a week
out of this.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh yeah, we need longer, we need a month.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Here we go, I got contain party. Pusil Brownie shot
me telling me our boyfriend to be on the talk
top and.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
On the podcast Tuesday, the eighteenth of November twenty twenty.
I've strut over twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Now you're just about over it.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I am no minded twenty twenty five, but I look them.
I'm loath to say that I want it to be
over because then this twenty twenty six, that'll go quite quick,
then this twenty twenty seven. And if you're my age
forty eight, you've only got forty plump seasons till death.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, they'll be grim plump seasons too. I am doesn't
get better from it. Yeah, I feel like we've all
been in a time warp. But I think we're talking
about this the other day. You feel like, basically from COVID,
it just like rocketed Ford and all of a sudden
you're like, I'm my fucking thirty four.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Why you lost some years there in the middle.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I was like twenty nine at one point and now
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Is it because you and Matt Ward were drinking every
day during COVID and it took you that long to
come out of your drunken slumber.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
You'll never get twenty nine back again, but it has
gone to be fair. I don't want it back, but
but there's still bits of you. There's still the bits
of the twenty nine year old lift. But most of
the cells that you were when you were twenty nine
don't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is why your tastes change, isn't it because your
taste buds basically every seven years there've been no resemblance
to the taste buds you used to have, So it
you know, tripackles again.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Isn't that weird? So your I think it's seven years
eighty and of a complete human as not any of
the cells are not the same anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So it's worth having a crack again at some foods
like That's That's why I think the older you get,
the more you like fuck, I love olives, you know
stuff like that. You see people as they get older,
the stuff that you see in a chakuderie board. In
your twenties, you're like, who the hell would ever eat that?
Then once you're in your mid to late thirties, your
staff gun.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, Chuck's one of those hard to choke herts. It's
a hard choke hart with.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Can you packle that onion?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And I love it? Bagled onion. Yeah, it's that kind
of stuff as yours, like your liver and your heart
and all that stuff. Is that replaced every seven years?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The cells that because I reckon where do they go?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
The cells? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I know this? You poo them out?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So a lot of like your blood cells and stuff
as well. What Yeah, it's not all just food. That's
a lot of other like body waste that comes out
of your poos.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
It's so weird.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Do we think we're going there? Five minutes into this,
let's pivot and thankfully I've taken to the Conclave. If
you've only listened to this podcast, you knew have been
on Facebook before. I could highly recommend it. It's a
great social media platform. And on that we've got a
private page called the Conclave. You request and we'll approve it.
And then and then you can shield whatever you want,
and an effort to kick it entirely into neutral. This
(03:14):
week I asked what people wanted us to talk about
on the podcast. I used a photo of you talking
to our tour guide from Austin.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Is that what that is?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Connor?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Luck you didn't bur it there on here. I could
see you're about too.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That was nearly an evoluntary.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You nearly heat.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Nearly any I use that pacture just to get people's attention,
And so people have commented what they want us to
discuss on the podcast. Also, alongside slagging me off for
outsourcing my work to other people, really.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I actually like what you've done him, and I feel
like it's very inclusive.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I was gonna try and fire back and say, oh,
this is my way of getting people involved in it,
but no, that's exactly what it is about, sourcing it
into neutral, kicking the bits into neutral.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Why wouldn't you outsource the situations? I mean, I understand
the idea of some kind of insular show where everything
must come from inside your brain. I mean that that's impossible,
isn't it?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Exactly, And what is your brain that's changing cells? Anyway? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Point so in seven years.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Is that what you're saying, Jerry, we should change our
names every seven years.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I've thought about that. I've thought about giving if I
was to have a kid, giving it a dynamic name
that changes as it ages. So you know, I guess
that's things like like Robert, because you'd be little baby Bobby.
You know, when you're a kid and you become Bob,
then you might become Rob. Then you know, once you're
(04:44):
old and gray, you have become Robert.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, of course. But I spoke to someone the other
day at a party and they had a good point.
They said, I named my children for adults because I
realized that most of their life, you know, past eighteen
to twenty, was going to be an adult because he
reckoned most people name their children as children, and he
(05:07):
named his his children Fred and Arthur.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Not great baby names, No, I've got to say they
are definitely good old person names.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Great old people names. Yeah, you're older for longer than
a baby. Because I think that about Greg Pribble. Here's
my baby, Greg.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Greg's not a name. I don't think there's been a
kid named Greg for I don't know thirty years.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I had a flatmate who is a couple of years
younger than me. Whose name's Greg baby thirty thog.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm just trying to think of some young gregs.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Craig, Yeah, I think Craig Craig.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Why Americans called Craig's Creig?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Why do they call jaguars jaguars jaguar? These are the issues.
But yeah, like there's a lot of names out there
that don't we did one of these recently? Do we
look for the youngest Griggs Griggs and Crags Craigh? Was
it the youngest Clive? Yeah, maybe we need to reheait
that one again, but anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Clive is quite a good name. Clive. I always thought
that was from Clive Tackerman, my old woodwork teacher. Always
thought ridiculous name. But actually I've come around on Clive.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I think when I hear Clive, that's just me. Should
we take a quick break and address the first comment
on the post on the conclave?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Ha, wow, look about the podcast? You ever win anywhere?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, you never win anywhere? So that happened about the spread?
Uh Arden Young's comments that on my post entirely outsourcing
my own brain to the listener. Could we please get
a revision of Jerry's top five fast food burgers often
think about how right he was cannsistently putting the Hawaiian
(07:01):
BK chicken at number one.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh yeah, God, I have an extent. I don't know
if they've got the Hawaiian BK chicken anymore. I used
to get one every week because I used to drive
out to tennis over the shore and play with my
play tennis with my friends, and we had a tennis
group for about five years, and so I would eat
a Hawaiian BK chicken every bloody Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
A pineapple in there, yeah, then.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
In the long bun. Yeah. I used to cut it
in toes and it's got the bacon in it.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Bacon, crisp lettuce and sweet juicy pineapple. It's still available.
That's still cooking their bitch.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
That's good to know because at KFC, I've now gone
on to the zinger stacker.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Now, is that the one with the hash brown in it?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
No? The Burger Towers.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love the Burger Tower in my teens.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Holy shit, you want to soak up some hangover, then
grab yourself at Burger Towerburger Talburg Haliburger. The zinger stack
is two pieces of Zinger with bacon and cheese. Right,
it's good man with some hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I mean, I can't go past the original Zinger burger, though,
I honestly reckon that'll be my death throw meal, a
Zinger burger.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I like you just to try a Zinger Stacker.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I would like to try a Zinger stackers. The only
thing is I've been scared straight after seeing one hundred
and eleven on the scales the other day. Well, to
be fair, that same day I had actually had a
Zinger combo. I got the burger meal where they give
you the wicked wings and the potato and dravy.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh, this is the thing. I mean, that's the problem
is the potato. I mean, do you know the other
day I had a Zinger Stacker combo, but just no,
I didn't up size. I just went to the standard size.
And then the next day I had another Zinger stack
of combo. So two days in a row and a
whole lot of other crap, you know, like eat heaps,
and I was drinking on the booze and I jumped
(09:08):
on the scales because in the morning I thought, oh
this is gonna be I'm I'm gonna be up in
the high nineties, and it was the same. Yeah, it
was ninety three point six or whatever. I am moreriy
faim and it was exactly the same. And I was like,
I don't know if the Zinger I don't know if
that Zinger Burger is actually that bad. I think it's
(09:29):
the massive drink and the massive fries with the potato
and gravy. That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, So there are more calories in the chips than
there are in the burger, and far more in the drink.
So if you go, if you forgo the chips or
even just go small as a real hack there and
then go obviously zero on the drink, or go no
drink and just get the burger. Burger is only about
three hundred calories or something, which is not a lot.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I know three.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Hundred bloody good calories too.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But do I know, I go the fucking upside. It's
the large chips with the potato and gravy, two worked wings,
fucking way too much counting on the week.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
There's the issue. Yeah, but if you just love the book,
because the other thing is that's just basically chick. I mean,
that's protein the chickens bloody good.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
No, it's great similar I think fat to protein ratio
of like a sausage. So it's not terrible for you.
But I just lost my mind over the weekend over
and Dodge anyway, scared straight saw the one hundred and eleven.
So you've still got the Hawaiian beca chicken at number one.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
No, nah, because I haven't had it for so long.
I'm going to go nowadays. I'm going to go with
that Zinger stacker. Wow, that's my new. That's my new
go to number one, number one, and then I'll go
I'll go number two.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Gross, I'll go studio underneath it.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Okay, I'll go number two.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Big Mack.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Was going to say, you have you tried the chicken,
Big Mac Jerry.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Nah, I don't like McDonald's burgers. I reckon. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So this is for some reason I thought it was
only chicken burgers.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Sorry fast burgers.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Oh, I know there's a there's a better burger that
I had on the commentary the other day with the
acc commentary from the Uber eats, and it was a
it was a beef and ah, do you know what?
Do you know what I'm gonna this is a this
is a self source, but my number two burger as
the as the beef and beef cheeseburger from Bedford. Fuck,
(11:35):
it was a saucy American dog.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Dude. I had one of those on Friday. This is
That's what led to the one eleven. Man, it was good.
That is such a good burger. Is it's a it's
almost like a you know, like those wet sandwiches they
do overseas. Yeah, it's like one of those.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Man. It was good. Heaps of cheese and the petties
not overdone, but it's a big, thick petty and then
the there's just lots of lots of mayo and there's
lots of mustard. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So you're going that at number time, going, but are
we counting that as a fast top five fast food burgers?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Is it fast food?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well? And then I'll go the better burger, Yeah, because
you can get it on her breaths? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Can you wish I didn't know that?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
And then I go, I like the bastard from from
what's his face?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Burger fuel Burger Fuel Burger fire Burgers that I desire.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Down Burger should I quite like download Burger Download Burger download.
There's a there's a franchise. It's it's on Ponsonby Road
and downtown as well. I'd go down.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'd go, Yeah, I think I'd go down and then five.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Super Burger from the unnamed fish and chip shop on
Great North Road that doesn't ever name.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
There are some pretty irs here.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
The super Burger. The super Burger's five dollars. It's for
what you get there, Boy, that's super burger. That's got
so it's got a hash brown and an egg.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I just like I'd like to apologize because I could
have been doing this number five the whole way through that.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Sorry, I think we got there. Okay, I would go
and I'm going a bit more mainstream here. I'm going
a bit more accessible. Zinger Burger number one. As I said,
death Rowmeal. I gotta be honest. I think a big
Mac the is it the second best burger you'll ever
(13:32):
eat in your life? No, but it's the consistency for me.
A big Mac is a big Mac is a big mac.
The best one is just as good as the shittest
one you've ever had, and you know what you're gonna get.
There is variants in a Zinger burger. I had a
bad one on the weekend. Yeah, but I just think
the Big Mac in terms of consistency. Also, if you're
half cut at the drive through and you can't make your.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Mind up, that's a fair point.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You're safe as houses going a Big Mac combo.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Yeah, if you tasted the Burger sauce. There's a Burger
sauce which is exactly the Big Mac sauce.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And the girl can get stuck in the top of
the bottle.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, once you once you've had that, you go. The
source is the track of the Big Mac.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yes, and so I don't Yeah, and so I'll put
it in there. Like again, is it the second tastiest
burger in the world. Probably not no, But when we're
talking top five fast food burgers, it's it's safe. It's
a safe pair of hands at number two. At number three,
I'm tossing up between two burgers. I could probably put
a bracket around three and four. I don't mind the whopper.
(14:32):
I know this is a missionary that's cool list, but
I don't mind the whopper. It's a lot bigger than
you remember because I I feel like you don't have
whoppers very often, but anytime you get a whopper, you're
always pleasantly surprised at how big there bitches you.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Check you're putting anything extra on that one.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I never customize my order okay, anywhere for anything. Okay,
I don't know why, but I'm just like, don't lazy. Yeah,
it is laziness. It's like it's like people who checked
bag every time they get I just I look at
fast food as I gave you twenty bucks? Did you
give me twenty bucks with the food?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Sweet?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Let's get out of it. I feel like, yeah, exactly,
I don't care if it's like, actually, I've seen pickles
and who gives a fuck? Just take your food like
it's slop, you know what I mean? You pay them,
they drop, they drop that slop in the bag, and
then you fuck off. Did you get twenty bucks with
the slop? Sweet? We'll take your greasy pig, fat ass
it's pre poo, is what it is, and enjoy it.
Yeah exactly, that's exactly what it is. So I'm never
(15:28):
going to nickel and dime people at the fuck. Also,
it's like a bunch of fifteen year olds in there
whipping up some slop. They don't care about this job.
They don't care about you, So what are you going
to nickel and dime them for?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Just I would I would like that more if you
be grateful. If it was winning and losing, it's generally losing.
You generally don't win. There's very raally that they that
they put something extra in there.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Chips maybe, but I think that I don't know. People
lose their minds. They expect they expect fast food, Like,
how how do you do you think they managed to
make a burger in the time it took you to
drive from one window to the next window by cutting
some fucking corners. All right, Now, that's going to mean
every now and then they're going to fuck your order
up so bad. That's the game you play at a restaurant,
different thing, but fast food. So that's three and then four.
(16:16):
This one's a little bit of a departure from the
main menu. I go to MC spicy when i'm a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I agree that one.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The mixed spicy. Now that's a chicken burger, but it's
like spicy.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Have you never had a mix spicy?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
You know? The only thing I can think of that's
max spice is that picture of Ruder that's looking at
me on the zone.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Now hang on, you've maxed spicy.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You've now put me off the burger. But yeah, I'll
go the MC spicy in there and then the fifth
one again. I don't know if they do this, I'll
look it up.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Have you been to Carl's Junior.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm thinking that. I'm my list I'm compiling is I'm
trying to get burgers. Everyone can act this. And there's
not a Car's Junu everywhere, you know, there's barely a
Burger King. But if there is, can I recommend the
Barbecue Rodeo Burger from BK. That thing's got barbecue sauce,
(17:12):
it's got mayo, and it's got onion rings in it. Now,
it's quite small, so you may want to get two
or some larger Vieri end of the Barbecue Rodeo Burger.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
But that sauce sauce is the key, isn't it. I
mean you need a saucy burger. It's a really nice
patty and good sauce. You know, I don't like chopped
up lettuce. I've got to say, what can they not?
Just can you not just put a whole leaf in?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So if I'm at homemaking burgers. I will not put
I will not put tomato, and I won't put lettuce.
And unless I've got two leaves, I'll put a leaf
of lettuce in ye. But yeah, chopped lettuce.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Oh, look so much better the leaf, especially if it's
iceberg lettuce. And it's the hard part of the end.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
The crunch, Oh, the crunch.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
There's two pieces of lettuce on top, one bottom.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
There's a top fuss, all right, should we knock this
spartard on the head. And again, if there's something you
want us to discuss, get into the conclave and comments
on that post. You'll see it's the picture of Jerry
standing over a small man of Mexican descent in a
blue T shirt.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
This is going to keep us going to the you know,
December the nineteenth, when we finished.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Hopefully, yeah, thank god, might get twenty twenty six out
of this story.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I sound like some fucking weird doctor and Grays aenemy.
Speaker 4 (18:28):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
