I am a host of 38 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: a beer brewing competition. It's like Bakeoff Apart, but it's 39 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: an upgrade. It's about beer. I'm the host and I 40 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 3: don't have to judge anyone. I just have to enjoy 41 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: the beer. I just drink the beer. They brew it, 42 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: I drink it, and I'm paid to do it, and 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: I basically I think I've died and gone to heaven. 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 5: Wow, James, you know what's going on. And there was 45 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 5: a story out of the UK actually where there was 46 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 5: one man and he visited fifty two pubs in a 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 5: twenty four hour period. We were inspired by this man 48 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 5: and now that things have opened up here in Sydney, 49 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 5: we kick off our twenty four hour period to see 50 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 5: how many pubs we can visit. So maybe this could 51 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 5: make a great episode on the Beer Show. 52 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm totally in it. If I can come and 53 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 4: join you any stage. 54 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: You know. 55 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 4: This is an international idea. Yep, you do it there, 56 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 4: I do it here. I have a pub in London 57 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 4: as well. I own a pub. You need to come 58 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: and come and try my pub. 59 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so this is the other thing as well. We 60 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: spoke to it Shearon the other day. 61 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: Now we gave it as a gift to him. Watch 62 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: your beer mats for his pub. 63 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: Have you been to Insurance Pub as well? 64 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 4: James?

This is the thing. 71 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: This was the last time it was in Australia, so 72 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: we gifted him. Then next time you come here and too, 73 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: we are getting you the ultimate gift from a couple 74 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: of mates from Sydney. 75 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: Mart Okay, great, you buy the greatest tits and that's 76 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: all I need you to do. 77 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 4: That's why I'm here.

Let's just make it 80 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 4: easy on ourselves. 81 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 5: When you put together a greatest Hits album, though, I mean, 82 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 5: is there a fair bit of round table chat around 83 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 5: which songs will end up there? 84 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: Well, because I want to just put on your beautiful 85 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: twenty times. And well, in fact, I really wanted to 86 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: call my greatest tits. I really wanted to call it 87 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: greatest hit and songs I wish you'd heard awful, but 88 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: the record label said I couldn't do that, and so 89 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: I've had to call it something more creative. 90 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 4: So it's called The Stars Beneath My Feet, which means 91 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: nothing the. 92 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: Stars beneath my feet, But but you know what I 93 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: wanted to call it. And it's coming out on Friday, 94 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: which is the same day as Adele, so she must 95 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 3: be breaking. And Taylor Swift did have hers coming out 96 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: the same day as me. But when the moment Taylor 97 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: realized that her album's coming out the same day as mine, 98 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 3: she changed the date to the release date so weekly 99 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 3: and it is strange that Adele hasn't changed the release 100 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: date yet. Maybe she just hasn't twigged. 101 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 4: Well. 102 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 5: You know what, Tyler Swift, we could have been talking 103 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 5: to her, but we chose your album to push me, 104 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 5: said Tyler Swift, go a why. 105 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: We're going. 106 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 4: You were basing that on music though, you were basing 107 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 4: that on looks. 108 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: I just say, I read an article about you the 109 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: other day and they asked you about your most embarrassing moment, 110 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: and you because on here as well. 111 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: I think there's some live we hear some live James. 112 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: Blunt from Glastonbury, but you you tell a story about 113 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: how you went. 114 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: This is it. 115 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: I've got to go out into the crowd.
