A list-nap production. Activate your internet. Because the Hamish and the podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. A hoi-do-you-hem. Hi, boy. A hoi-do-you, Jack O. Hi. And look, we're all feeling pretty good. One! Ahojiyu hen! Ahojiyu jacko!

And look, we're all feeling pretty pumped up. Yeah. Big, big salt come down. Yes. No waste steroids? In a salt come down. I'm just saying, let's pump up waste steroids. No, no, no. Probably organic.

For organic, we're all... This is an organic nature to help pump up. Yes, we don't have. We don't have. We don't have accidental breasts. Because chicken first happened this week. Zoe Ahoy to her. Yep. She told us what she was up to. Ahoy boys. Zoe here from Adelaide. Just at uni trying to recover from last night's chicken first. 2019. I hit up Airendale Chicken Shop. We were in fact the only people there but still worth it, still fun to give them the recognition they need.

Thanks for organising the event. I'll see you next year for Chicken Fest 2020. 2020, that'll be a big one. I like the thanks for organising. Nice little free credit. Isn't it? In the bank. You know, Nate's got dressed up very well. Yeah. Should I take the credit on over? Well, Matthews feels good.

And when she sees... That's the same amount of credit as if we did the initial one. Yeah. I try to agree. The one that we were meant to hold a bigger vent where people would have had to pay around about $400 to take it to cover costs. Yep.

I'm, I'm, when Zoe said she was the only one there, there's an air of disappointment about that. But that's the point. That is the point. That's the point of chicken fest. And we have to double down on that because. Yeah.

We had a similar experience, didn't we? Well, let's, you know what, let's give everyone a sample of where our night finished. Lovely. This is what we got to. Chicken! We did it in Australia! Right, so it's a little bit of a mystery planning the seed.

As you heard there, we ended up with the whole of Australia, yelling, chicken, fests. But how did we get to that point, Andy? And Jack actually has to do the credit for the limo. Oh, yes. We have a stretch limo, Jack. Yes, it is bat man limo. No, bat man limos. No Batman Hummer I'm we got you to do it because you're you're on commercial any so you can gloss over this. Yes, but you didn't give me anything But you're maybe just do it very very far. Okay, but my hammer. Yes

That's that's the level so we're out there That's the level. So we're out there. Can we acknowledge though, George L. James was fantastic. He would roll out a red carpet jacket. He had a goal wing. It was not like a door mask. Yeah, it was a goal wing sound. Brush around with the door mask every time we were hopping out.

And then, so like the DeLorean. Yeah, yeah, it should have this cool. Yeah, it would come out and then suddenly there would be a red carpet as we got out. So the fact that we're in black tight definitely felt right. It was really snazzy. We had the I was only a bit late and I apologize for that And I saw you looking great by the way. The whole team looks phenomenal. Um people thought it was a wedding Yeah, just I guess like it's just a pretty cheap wedding on a button Monday night got in the limo Yep And we met in the city and we knew that we'd picked out a chicken shop

that had been recommended by a number of people, but it was Cynthia that made us caught our eye with her submission. We knew it was going to be peak our traffic to get out there. It didn't matter. And we'll try to leave around 615 expecting an hour and a 1500 journey to land right on chicken fest time 7 30 pm Australian Eastern daylight savings time pick up the excitement in the aforementioned vehicle authority had expansion on our way out there chicken fest we are crawling along in the hammer which Jack would have done the gloss over not gloss over we would have just been more credit for swiftly passed the credit for

and we need to do it again it is fat man fame though and I got a shock when I saw Batman in the backseat there yeah it's great yeah I'm not able to board with the credits though but since we're talking about it and in that is a kind of a bird even though it's a mammal

yeah and it you wonder would it have been hard to just respeck all the logos in here as sort of chickens with their wings wide open? That's a nice idea. Good idea for chicken fest 2020. Traffic's in a standstill. We're having a look around some of the other cars. Most people are in black tie.

You know where they're going. You know what they're doing. I just hope this parking when we get out to our chicken shop. First of all, him. How are you feeling about your top hat? Feel good. I've also got AVA's Sunnies on. Accidentally in a move that makes me look When we get out to our chicken shop first of all him. Yeah, how you feeling about your top hat feel good I also get aviator sunnies on accidentally in a move that makes me look like a 16 year old slash From Guns and Residance. Did we drink foil? We did talk about lining the hat with foil

I don't think we need to she's a higher mic or is this a bought this is a purchase tar we own it Okay, how much are do we pay for this? We paid $10 for it. It shows. And it's so it's Delhi. Some $119,999 up where we would have been if we pulled the trigger on our super expensive festival. Yes, exactly. The top hat offer was only bought up a last week's podcast. I think there was a low chance that... And you remind people of it? Well, we can't tell them what the offer is.

But if they spy the Top Hat and they say we'd like the Top Hat special, I'd take my Top Hat off and they fill it up with chips. But he's vendor led. He's vendor led. I had someone on Twitter last night. Treat me and say, couldn't find a top hat, would they accept a bowl hat? And I said, that is a shop to shop.

I said that is absolutely discretion of the manager of your choice. Your choice of shop. That's where the hat specials get tricky. Exactly, because they were. I said, if they do have a top hat special, it seems to me like the type of guy that's not gonna be as stickler

as long as a formal hat. And there was word going around that if police officers turn up, they can get their hats filled for free. As a thank you to the men of blue. That is false. That's what I'd like to squash that now. You are welcome to participate in Jing Invest, but you've got to pay full retail.

We need to reward the chicken shop owners. So I keep saying we shouldn't say, but we can say now we're going out to Rovill. We've got about an hour drive, a Cynthia. She suggested this one, it's Kellert's charcoal chicken all the boxes it's exactly that's what we wanted to celebrate with tonight and we're already seeing so many beautiful messages coming in from around the world people celebrating

the same thing customer service zero marketing zero brand awareness zero chicken 10 eleven yeah it's a total 13 chicken salt chips chips low 20s. Yes What they lack in marketing and they always do and what they like in customer service and usually they do they make up for in their other elements do you think Cynthia will be there. Yes. I just hope hoping for as well. We haven't told her it's gonna be jumping. I don't know if it's gonna be Bone empty you'd say if he's putting in though.

Are we shouting the house? A submission, yeah, we said we'd shout the house. I can't wait to shout the house. We'd should, I've taken out cash to shout the house. Although we'd shout... I've got euros on me still from my holiday. Okay. Sending in a submission that passionate,

it'd be a kick in the cockle for her not to be there. Yeah. Or if it doesn't exist, I mean. She wouldn't get as an absolute beauty if this doesn't exist. But the mood in the limo is sky high. It's fun to dress up, but usually, as we were saying, you're going to sit through something very boring. Yes, exactly.

A war story. A war story, a wedding, a short case. Then, black title or caucus? Yeah, for the higher crimes. The monopoly ones. Bank robbery. Bank robbery you'd wear. You'd wear it. And then, once the judges pass their verdict or whatever,

the boring functions over, you go and have chicken and chips. At this time, we're just going straight to the chicken and chips. It's so exciting. Yep, spirits were high as we got close. And caught our first glimpse of Kellogg's charcoal chicken inside a small suburban strip mall. But the practicalities of the first glimpse of the Chalott's charcoal chicken into our small suburban strip mall. But the practicalities of a stretch Batman hummin' we had to circle around the store and we ended up in a backstreet.

These parkers out the back. Oh well done George. George, this is great. We've parked out the back so we can still approach. I didn't see the movie premiere spotlights out the front so they don't know they're coming. Do you want to go by foot from here or do we want him to go around? No, actually let's make a grand intro. Okay, grand intro. Okay, it's that quick.

You can get the Batman Harbour for nothing. Okay. I didn't see too many other stretch hummers. Which is good. It seemed quite for it to be confessed to be honest. The Hander, if there's anyone else there in Biketalai, you've got to think there are thousands of stores across Australia, that's what we wanted.

Yeah, best of all. Thousands of stores, as we speak, are getting hit up by people in Biketalai. When we go in, I think we need to try and tattoo the owner straight away, straight away. As a tank, they'll be overwhelmed. They'll be excited. They'll realize that they've been picked,

because I said to someone, Strolls in on tonight's night of night, so they know that one, a girl in chicken, and we've just hit something in the limo. Yeah, we've just hit it. I think it was a bin. A bin? These streets are not made for street. These streets are not made for stretch. How about this?

Yeah, okay. Where are we going? We drove past it, it seems like. You've got your bothered by the directions. Is anyone else feeling a bit strange about it? I trust George implicitly. He knows what this vehicle can do and he knows what it can't do. He's probably driving us the most. He's probably got Google Maps set to stretch Humber. So why take him down some roads?

Right, and he's tapped on his icon and instead of the little green truck or the yellow car he's got a stretcher. That man along about my meal. Yeah, okay, just because they were going in a very different direction. My chicken senses were telling me that we were seemingly heading away from the chicken shop. And Andy was now, pedantically checking Google Maps and consulting the producers. Mike, did you feel that we're going in a complete,

wrong direction? I think we should have turned left a long time ago. Same, same. Yeah, we haven't turned left. We're going straight. It's still the same. I'm afraid, George. Did he think we've already been to it? Oh, maybe when we said, no, no, no, no,'t turned left. We're going straight. It's still the makes- I'm sorry, I've been judged. Did he think we've already been to it?

Oh, maybe when we said no, no, no, that's okay. We'll go around and go. I said, there's guys home. That could be a problem. You have a... He's on Google messages. You've arrived at your destination. He's like, oh great, I'll puncture. Oh, we just wanted to go. I'll punch in the next one. I think it's a treasure hunt It's, it thinks it's our interior. It's his first time doing it. He's got, he's boss has got to make our stamp. Oh you, it was taken by the, get him, get him, get his stamp, bring him back. We're good. I don't think any of these roads cut through to the main highlight.

We eventually turned left and got back on track and the imminent arrival of chicken and chips lifted the mood once more. We're excited. Everyone in the Batman limo is excited. Chickens are excited? Even the chickens are excited. I would say that you checked yourself a bit. No, it would be an honor.

Tonight, the whole night, you would be saying you can't your own image. Take me. Take me. It is my dickest tonight of all nights. You would be saying you'd get your own advice. Take me. Take me. Here it is. I did this, Donna. Thank you. So, Ham, there it is. We are picking up the action between you and I.

Well, we pulled into Keol. God, it was hard for him to get that car in there, wasn't it? It was the most exciting. So, it's good to be chicken with my throat. It was the most exciting thing that's happened in that car park for a long time. Not surprising, the town planners did not make the, I think it was called the Rovell Park Shopping Centre. They didn't make the driveway into the four-court, like stretch hammer-friendly. No. Well, man and kerb, we took out almost two-gather-mits-bisshy-lancer.

There was some interest from lookers on. But we got in there. Someone was locking out the Barry Plant real estate office just going, this is not normal. But we got in there, you're drawn out the red carpet for us to get out. Yep. And we pick up the options, we had in the car. We got to check it out. And you had in your hand. Oh, the golden cock.

The golden cock. The golden cock. The trophy were going to award and we're going to award. So any chicken shop that was a... Visited. Visited. We're going to award and we're going to award to any chicken shop that was a visit attended, visit it. We're going to send it all out, but you had one in the flesh that we planned to give it to. Just to feel like the Nappy Sand challenge,

but a much bigger exciting version. And also, Ham, you had your top hat on. I did have my top hat on, very excited for the top hat special. And you were going to walk in and you weren't allowed to say anything, but put the hat in front of them. That's the rules of the special. To see if they'd fill it up. and you were gonna walk in and you weren't allowed to say anything, but put the hat in front of them. That's the rules of the special, to see if they'd feel it up. The first time I've ever been there,

it looks fantastic. It's got the rainbow plastic strips as you go through the door. Yeah. Keep those flies out. Doesn't that say something about how local it is when you've got the... When you've got rainbow strips, you're not a chain store, mate. You're not a chain store with rainbow strips You're not a chain store with rainbows trips. You're a one-off chicken shop.

And we've come at a great time. Because we're right on 730, so the crowds are going to hit an half an hour. May I hold the rainbow ahead? Thank you. Water Spot. Hi there, guys. Can we come, because you guys have come highly recommended. Guys, we've got some amazing news for you.

Just by being here you are, you've won a golden chicken. Thank you so much. It's part of ChickenFest 2019. Congratulations. What's your name? Ali, how are you going? Well, you guys are aware of chicken fests, Emily. No, it's you.

You're not aware of chicken fests. Well, it's an industry-wide movement to recognize one of chicken shops. You guys have been nominated several times by your customers. So all over Australia tonight, people are turning up to chicken shops in Black Tide to celebrate their favorite chicken stores. What do you think you guys are best known for here? I'm obviously a takunchi.

Yeah, yeah. We'd love to order. Well, I'm going to try it anyway, even though I know it's going to happen. The key reason for the top hat deal. Okay. The top hat deal is not in play. That's okay. That's okay, I was just checking.

So no top hat full of chips for us. But it didn't mean the other customers in the store shouldn't benefit from chicken fast. And I'd like to say to everyone here, it's not part of our group, chickens are on the house! Oh, my God! What's your name, sir? Andrew.

Andy, nice to meet you. I know that. Andrew, how are you, mate? Well, you're aware that he's chicken fest tonight. No. So, all over Australia, people are dressing up in black time most people are. I can see their exceptions, like yourself.

Do you know that? Dressing up in black tithers, celebrate their favourite one off chicken shop. Is it your favourite? I've travelled all over the world to see what it can be here. It's really, really? What? Is the chicken just that much better or is it the chicken shop? It's a whole presentation.

The whole cockerel in the bag. Yeah, it's why I want to go on chicken tonight. And I couldn't put a better ass on it. Oh yeah, it's tasty. Well your meals on us? Yeah, kidding. Yeah, get on in? Yeah, cute. Yeah, get on in there.

Thank you. Yeah, good luck to you. What if you want a 10 minute ride in a Batman's trench limo? So our orders were in, and the anticipation for that chicken salt was sky high. But the reality of the store we'd chosen did start to dawn on us. We haven't thought it through. We've picked a place there that doesn't do dining. They look no idea about chicken fest or they're playing a call.

Can you just repeat what you said? I was like, I'm down. I was like, I'm not. In fact, it's the most prestigious night on the chicken calendar. Yeah, exactly. Sean, how are you feeling now? I'm very happy. I'll be ahead of there first. There you go.

Love the winner of the golden chicken. Shawna is very happy. Mike, how are you feeling? I'm really happy I think you guys are doing such a good thing, like, buying every one chicken. I don't know, I just feel really good. Thanks, my good feeling chicken. Beth doesn't.

Well, we bought two people chicken and one guy thought it was a joke because we paid for his own. But then the moment arrived, the chicken was cut, the chip salted, the Polestar impact Well, we bought two people chicken and one guy thought it was a joke because we paid for his own. But then the moment arrived. The chicken was cut, the chip salted, the polystyrene packs filled, and our creamy soda is bagged up. All that remains was the all-important chip taste test. Moment of truth? Quite a chicken, brah on the top. That's me, you ready? Yep. Hames going in.

How is it? He's had a chip. Is it the right amount of salt? It's really good. It's really good. It's really good. Everybody's done it. They've had a lot of you done it.

It's a lovely crunch. Just hits the top of the palate. It's a soft kiss on the top of the palate. It's hot. Yeah. It's coming to the salt. It's coming to the salt wraps the tongue. Smashings the side of the mouth. Yep.

And bundles it up, glides it all down. What kind of salt is it? The chicken top. Oh, good. Thanks so much guys. Thank you. Comptive perfection. We hit the road again.

With the temperature in the back of the Batman limo steadily rising due to the sheer amount of steam pouring off the chicken we bought. And chicken we consumed quite quickly. Okay. I feel like I was in, run. I mean, we were in that quickly. I feel like the, the limo's turning to be an ambulance. A lot of people in here in salt comas.

We've been in salt with this chicken in salt. Isn't it funny? I'm not sure if you feel this in your body, but it's shaky. Chicken's the only food I know that you get like a it chokes you deep like you eat too Too much of it. It starts choking you from out on you. Yeah from from about your bread box heading up I'm I'm fading out. It's a test, but I tell you what I'm happy. It's a testament to kewuts

I'm fading out. It's a test. But I tell you what I'm happy. It's a testament to Kewatt's test track. Look, we're just following on Instagram. We're an amazing turn at it. Turn us the country. We'll be collating the votes all night, like election night, but it's really stunning from what we can see. So an initial thank you. Sure do more on the show. I'm using my cooks, creamy soda to try and wash down this chicken, but it's putting out a hell of a battle. I said down a flood of pseito, but it barely made it in the temperature and my body that's just caked in salt. I'm a big salt lick. If you want to have a nap for the trip, I respect that. I think I'm going to do that thing that my dad does when he's at family functions and he just closes his eyes while still pretending to participate in the conversation. I'm just going to have a vertical nap. Just a little wee wee little close.

Oh boy, good night mate. Only 365. I'll sleep for the next one. Great night. Yeah. Good night everyone. Okay, so we are struggling. Yes. We're gorging ourselves, our body's doing weird things. You heard how hungry we were, then we hit with a wave of just juicy protein and chips. Yep. The night continued, but you said you wanted to. Okay, I want to pause here. Yeah. Because I need something happened.

We're going to email overnight, post chicken fest from a young lady who alerted me to an incident that I think you'll remember. Yes. We're at Cali's chicken store. Now, as you can hear, at that time at Cali's, we were the only people in Black Tide doing chicken fest. Yeah. Even though hundreds of other locations globally, chicken fest was

a study to exploit. Yes, well, it, it seemed like a smaller level of excitement. It wasn't the main battle. It was a scourmage, but we were there and we were loving it. And everyone, the vibes of chicken fest were high, but we looked around and we went, okay, well, we know, there are thousands of chicken stores across the store in the world, not in Perth, Trout, not in Perth, they seem to be really being there. They were well populated though. They were well populated for chicken fest,

but we thought, okay, it's not gonna be cues, not gonna be the Oscars at every single chicken store. It's not gonna be cues of black tie. It's okay that no one's in here at the moment in black tie. How to look around, you know, a couple of people in like, you know, a couple of trades and stuff. Yeah. Shombro shirt.

Do you remember? And we sort of made a few gags to people like, oh, mate, you could address that for Ching-Fing just like a confused guy in a polo shirt sitting there and we were like, okay, we've, you know, we've had fun with that notion that we're teasing people for not dressing up in Black Tye but they don't know what we're talking about. Do you remember at one stage, there was a guy, he came through the rainbow dangly things. The strips, the plastic strips in the front of the chicken shop. He's standing there, he's in a normal shirt.

Pleasure. Kind of a bleached, maybe a light purple. And I thought he'd look a bit real estate, I just might have had a darker outline on the collar or... From memory for me it was a light pleasure and a chinno. I think some piping on the shirt and a collar pipe. Yeah, it looks smart, but he didn't look black-talk. Well, he just saw us.

We got microphones, stuff, and cameras, and he just, he had a look that I read at the time on his faces. Oh, you don't see this every night at my local chicken shop. Yeah. He's coming home from work, perhaps as... A real estate agent. Some sort of office job. Yeah. So, I get this message last night from a young lady called Kirin.

And she's cast some light on that particular gentleman. OK. She said, I am so disappointed. I've never seen my husband so disappointed. I made him walk to the chicken shop in Roville, Calitz. And not dress up enough to be spoken to you and you were there You saw him and made a comment about him only wearing a shirt which broke his heart It was completely my fault. He didn't come in. He's full suit

I will literally pay for him to have another chance for me guys and person whatever he's a huge fan I've never seen him so sad Please let me know. There's anything you do to haven't said that guy was part of chicken fest. And we just assumed no one else was there. We needed him. We needed him just as much as he did it us. We would be there. We would have liked to say one person.

Thanks for starting to happen in social media. Probably a half an hour later it was booming. We were right in that moment, but we went. We needed a bit of power. Our people doing chicken fest. And he was there, he was just scot. We've tracked him down, he's on the line scot. What a dissaid boy!

You're in the shop! Oh holy boys, I'm so disappointed. I really, I'll let everyone down here. You're the guy, we're talking about right, you eat your tans through the rainbow thing. We made eye contact with you. And it was, I interpreted your faces interpreted your faces like I know you guys. Were you wearing glasses? No. No, I wasn't wearing glasses but I saw you outside.

I was standing there. I've gone I cannot absolutely. I've gone with the intention of going full suit and then a senior to the window. I've gone my heart to think I've gone up. I've let everyone down. You've turned up to the Oscars in semi-formity Exactly smart casual. Yeah, it kind of seems the equivalent of what most people wore at work experience if they're going to an accounting or finance Did you have a Mickey Mouse Scott did you when we write was there some piping around the collar of the shirt? There was a minor piping. There was a minor piping. Yeah, I remember now.

I was, I was, well Scott, we were so excited about remembering a minor piping. Scott, the problem, the problem we've got here is, is the fries, Scott, what made you freeze? You should have just said guys, I mean, you've been chicken fist. Well, it's an elaborate story, but you know, maybe if it's to get off work early, which is not easy to ask for me.

Made it all the way home, like, told the wife, it's happening, we're getting dressed, we're going there, it's all happening. And then we get home and she's like, oh, we have them walk the dog is yet, we need a walk and it's a good 25, 30 minute walk to get the chicken shop and we can, we're still supporting the local business, we're still getting out there, but you know, I didn't particularly want to walk all that way in the black tie and then tie. Getting changed after work, I was already pushing for the time. Yeah, I'm going to have to do you guys on the exit there.

And to the dogs have a funny little black tie, they wouldn't have had like a little black tie outfit with that. Oh, it was brought up, but it didn't been the rush of the whole thing. Scottie, what a terrible situation. It was like, we got to the ground. Yeah, you've been, the ground, the actual event is on. Come and catch some of the key players of there.

And Hamish and I, and you just didn't bring your gear. You just kept walking. Yeah, you just didn't bring your gear. You just kept walking. Yeah, you did. You just kept walking, jumped on the trip, what am I doing? It's great fun, I don't know why I'm going home. I don't know why I'm doing this. Well mate, thank you, great the view after reached out.

Thank you for going along to Chicken Fist. We would have loved this dish. I can't believe you's a mystery shopper. I'm the captain of the boss. I don't know if you'll make sure you guys are on top of this. Well hopefully when you pass the report up to your superiors we get full marks for participating in chicken fist. Scotty thanks so much mate and if we ever go again 2020 chicken fist 2020 hopefully we'll see you. It's very unlikely we're going to Robeville In the spirit of spirit spreading it around you're right. Yeah, it's probably gonna be about chicken fest 21-44 before we get back to

We were looking at Instagram, we're seeing everyone around Australia and the world participating in chicken fest. We put up as a highlight our story from chicken fest. So go to our machine 80 Instagram,

you can see the highlight story there. The top hat special had gone off at various places. Shops knew about it, there were top hats full of chips. There was a couple hundred people at a place in Newcastle. It was at a level. The huge dude out. So we're admiring from the command center,

like Air Force One, we're admiring the battle that's taking place Australia wide. And we noticed that our local chicken shop, which we'd talked about a lot on the show, Smoky Chooks. Suchen was even on the show. Yeah, Suchen was the voice of chicken shop owners. I later found out we framed him when we said he nominated himself.

Someone else did that and put his name down. Side note. We realized a lot of people were at Smoky Chucks. We went, look, we're heading back that way. We were nervous though. Closet eight. Closet eight. And it was quarter past eight. We pull up the window.

We look up the street. We see there's a crowd still at the crowd. All down. Smoky Chucks, we thought, oh my god. It's still in full swing. We've done it. We've got one more venue we can go to tonight. So we pick up the action.

We've hit the footpath now. There's only one parking spot, about 100 meters away. And we're steaming towards Smoky Chooks, our local Chook restaurant. Surprise second wind. We thought it was chicken fest was all over. We realized on the way home, we've seen a bunch of people on Instagram,

at our local chicken shop. Smoky jokers, Smoky jokers, we're on the way home. We spoke to Sachin. We spoke to Sachin. Time for some dessert, chips, baby. Now what time to Smoky jokers close? Normally at a clock, but I can see there's still people there as part of chicken first.

Have you had the chip? I haven't. I haven't. Mate. These chips are out of control. Yeah. Oh, out of control. Yep.

Okay, here we go. This looks like they're symbol gowns out the front here. Have we got some form over here? Let me tell you. Ahhhhhhh! Check it fast! Check it fast! Ahhhhhhh!

Check it fast! Ahhhhhhh! Check it fast! So Tim, thanks for talking to us. How are you, Matt? Honestly, you have to pinch me. Yeah. I was dreaming last night, you know, that we are in the back together. Sorry for the fact, but best thing ever for small businesses. Big recognition for small businesses. And the chicken shop. Not only the small businesses and the chicken shop.

The best business there is. Yeah, such a Nisi is our local one, but we went to help out another one. We tried to do the right thing No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no So how many people did you have in Sino-Azhan? I've lost the count. I've lost the count. Big night? Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever.

Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever.

Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever.

Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Biggest night ever. Have you ever been open to late 35? Never. That's the craziness of chicken first. These two guys are responsible. What time is it? This is crazy. It's the best thing. I don't know if this is going to be open inside. What a time to be alive.

Serving chicken and chips at 8.35pm on a Monday. So while I ducked outside to revel with the street party that was happening on the footpath, Ham learnt of some good news. The top hat special had happened. How did it go? Very good. Everyone was so excited to see him. So he went to the top hat? He came with the hat and we filled that with the tips.

Yeah, it's actually with the top hat. Did he take the handle? Yes, yes. And you knew what to do. It was my pleasure to take it in my hands. I put some foil in it and I filled it up. So everyone was ready and he got pushed in as the first customer in the shop. That's the top-head special. That's it. That's chicken first. That's it. If you had to put a price on how many dollars worth of chips. If someone wanted to buy that many, normally not chicken festay.

How much? How many? Two large chips. Right. How much was that? So 17 dollars? Whoa. So it's worth throwing your top back? For once a year you can take the... That's it. That's it. No, that's fine. You know? year you can take the year. That's it. That's it.

That's fine. Oh man, that's real. Having been at Kellett's charcoal chicken in Roville and now Smoky Chooks in Richmond, it was crazy that those two worlds were combining. Been here about 45 minutes and I hear it can have actually just been to my original local chicken shop. Really? Yes.

Oh right. I do know Kellett's dance. You can dance for it. I can't dance for it. So it's just Rov, I say I'll do know how to pronounce it. You can pronounce it. So it's a straight bus, I can't believe you have the podcast right now. This is the place to be. Though we're home having built up the reputation of such and such chips quite a bit, would they live up to the hype? Hamish thinks this is the best chip in Australia, neither world.

So, 15 seconds. 15 seconds, okay. I'll have a countdown. You don't want to go into hot, do you? I prefer it hot. You prefer it hot. Yeah, yeah. You don't want your chocolate. I try to shock your taste buds. You want to get that straight?

You don't want to open up without burning. All right, here we go. All right, I'm going in there. Oh my goodness. Delicious. Isn't it? Do you want to dip it in the gravy, guys? Yes I do. Roast me? Is it a bit of roast?

I can't tell you that. I thought you were all going to chicken shop, that's your goal. Exactly. This whole thing has been a fact fighting mission for Hamish and my new franchise. You've done it. I mean, you've nailed it. At the insane time of 844. As we stand out, so you're about to open again tomorrow.

Guys, everyone here, thank you. I mean, there's now, in Bosnord, I can't even say 150 people here on the street still vibing chicken first guys. Thank you for being the chicken first. Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. Chicken!

We did it in Australia. Yay! Yay! Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?

Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?

Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?

Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? He writes in and he says, guys, we've got something that is a collision of about four things that happen on your show. Great. It's chicken fest. We knew there was one person out there that could tie this whole mess together. I'm beginning to think that we've accidentally made lost.

So it seems crazy that all the threads are coming together at the end of the year and I think this is the moment where all the threads come together. The Spirits penis is left out of it, but that's good that it's not tied up because that would be painful. And B, I'm not leaving it behind completely, I'm very kind to move away from that stigma. So he goes, guys, this is, it's a power move,

it's a dollar offer, it's chicken fast, and it's jack's house. Wow. Interesting. As featured in our surprise housewarming earlier in the year, jacks are the only other time in this year he stayed up but it's not a clock on the roof. Another layer that ties together. Boys, have I got the email for you? Starts with that. And then proceeds to be that email. Who's from? This is from Alex. OK.

A couple of hours ago, this was sent the night of chicken fest. OK, the night of the 21st. A couple of hours ago, I was out for my evening jog. evening jog. Looking after himself. I was about 40 meters from my front door when I ran past three or four people in black tie in the front yard of the house,

of a house. All of a sudden I realized several things at once. There was a tall, lanky man in a grey-checked jacket. The man looked like Jack Post. The house didn't look finished. Not even close. The date was October 21st. The man must be Jack Post and he must be on his way to chicken fest. That's true, Jack. You ran your own chicken fest. That's right. I did a local one. I didn't think I'd have the time to travel with you boys in a limo and spend a whole night doing it, but I think it's a amazing job. It's an amazing job being a bit gorgeous. You look fantastic.

You're in your wedding suit, which is terrific. As Hamish mentioned, if the who weekly were doing a best dress of chicken fest, I think I think it would have been a good one. I'll surprise that on you. I'll be very happy to hear that. As a right user, I'll come to know you didn't have best dress of chicken first. Yeah, yeah. And B, B, the front cover.

Immediately, I realized I needed to claim my dollar from Jack. But sadly, I didn't have my printed BSB and account number on me. As when I jog, I travel fast and loose. However, as I got closer to home, I realized that I have a powerful piece of information. I know where Jack lives. I have actually known that we live in the same suburb for a while because you guys mentioned it on the podcast at one point and he lists names the suburb. So instead of the usual $5 that Jack offers, I would like to negotiate a higher price in exchange for keeping this new information private. Let's Jack be shelling out a lot more of these fees to my friends and neighbors.

Okay, it's blackmail. Yeah, it is blackmail. Yeah. It's on the night when we should have been celebrating chickens, unfortunately. It's taken a turn. Some light terrorism has taken, it's a hot, taken hold.

Extortion is another word for it. Yes. So Jack, Jack, what's the price? Well, first of all, I'm annoyed that I made the mistake of hanging around my front yard for too long. Bianca wanted to get a special video, a particular video of us running out of the house

for Instagram on our way to Chiggy and Prince. And we wasted a good five or 10 minutes doing it, probably giving this guy Alex time to run past. And for time. run past time time Did you do retakes of the video? We did too take the video and photos Okay, I mean it's like and that's what happened for the extortion Oh, yeah, it's an eating extraordinary annoyed that they let the Weakestor you've walked in from your private beach in Jamaica

Topless and gone it wasn't a bit of rustling in the bushes I'm sure no one took a photo. Oh, did I need to be topless? No, I'm sure it's both a private beach. And that was the moment that they got you. Yeah. So now I'm staring down. And can I say as well to everybody who joined me

at my local chicken shop on Monday 9? Thank you for not bringing BSB details, because I said, I contacted people contacting me on email and Instagram saying hey, is this the one you're gonna be at you mention on the show that you might be at your local one and I said yes So you know we got seven or eight people in black tie down there They didn't bring their BSB details and I thought that was in the Spirit of chicken fest and did you as a ambassador for the show? Did you shout I had I had a I had a

Thought like I was the first one to the check out I had a mini thought like this is the moment where you would go You know what yeah, this is all on me if you were a Duh, duh, duh. Generous, very generous person. So you're, but I did not. I let everybody here by their own, that's nice of you. So now you, in the scheme of things, you're up a bit. Yep. Is there some, would you entertain the thought

of leaving a package in your mailbox to just go look, this is my offer? Take it, because what he's threatening here is telling all the friends and neighbors, how you go down to number 14. Yep. This guy has to give you his five. So what do I say Alex come and knock on the door and we negotiate this? Oh, no, you can negotiate with us. We can go back to Alex. If you like do it now. All right. 20 bucks. Okay. Okay. I reckon you take that. He'd take that because there's a final part of the email. Okay.

In a final twist, he continues and we paused here on the email delivery. But it is he did say it was going to be a the email. Okay. In a final twist, he continues. And we paused here on the email delivery. But it is, he did say it was going to be a great email. It's so far. It has been in a final twist. I would like to add that I do not in fact want anything from Jack. I'm not a mean spirited person. And I promised to respect Jack's privacy. He doesn't need to pay me a cent. I just wanted to show him that for a moment, I had the power of this enthusiasm. He fell off to you. That is in the spirit of this is Jason. He's power of this too. That is in the spirit of chicken fests. Well done. Great power move Alex.

Thank you. I mean, Jack you're so free again with paying no money. I know on the other hand where Jack lives and I'm open to the $20. Hey, and we just had a great power move from Alex. We should have. But speaking of power moves, you were doing one in the flesh at a very important gig last week that we needed to talk about. Just before we wrap up the show, we put you in Festive Air Dand. We promised, or I promised, on last week's episode, that during the week when I was the

opening speaker at this channel nine event that Andy and I were at. I and I had to introduce Humak's CEO of channel nine, the mega boss, all the nine entertainment group, companies or whatever. Yeah. That's a home-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel-channel And important guy, very important guy, and my man. So in light of last week's episode, where the challenge was if you're ever introducing someone of a high status on stage, refer to them as my man. Yes.

And it puts you in a position of kind of like that you've organized them to come as a favor to you. Just speak at the event even though he is the CEO of the group that's holding the event. I sat side of stage two recorded. Now I did a whole thing for Lego masters at the start. It wasn't paying attention, I forgot what he was doing. You seem like the only thing you were worried about was,

I was always worried about was the last 1% of the talk where I was introducing, he was my man, you were filming it. How were you feeling when you were up there? I mean, I just had moments, you know, in some times in movies where you're looking around the crowd and everything's like swirling around and slowing down a bit Yeah, it was really exciting Drennellen was racing I can't feel it. I was all excited. I'm about to my man. I'm about to my man the boss. Okay. This is hell when

Backstage at the Our front's Amy. She's getting ready to do the power move my man good like him to our front's Hamish is getting ready to do the power move. Mum and good luck Ham. To run through the rest of the day and to kick things off, I'd like to welcome to see if I still have my job as a brand manager for the group. Could you please welcome the stage? Mum and CEO, Humas. Wow.

Okay. Did you get it? Yeah, yeah, I got it. I got it, I got it. I got it. I got it. Now You think my fault is no, I thought you did a great job. Oh wow I was gonna go would you please welcome See oh no my man. Yeah, I think I see would you please welcome my man to see I think I'm a man one You did one one one too early, but it would be like I'm not beaming if I'm going to be a man. One, you did one, one, one too early but it worked. It worked.

I'm not beaming. It's my man. You're working for those who are famous. It worked, Ham. It worked. You're right. I think your order was one off, but that's okay. You learn. You learn.

It's not going to be the last time I pull out my man. But as we talked about last week of the show, my worry was people would laugh at the my man. No, they didn't. No, chew effective it is. Well done and congratulations. Thanks for listening. The Hamish Nandy podcast will return next week. Catch up or contribute at hamishanNandy.com.
