That was quite a 109 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: good achievement for us. We went down there, it was 110 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: this menu and the kids running two pits and we 111 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: managed to take it Reserve brand champion will seeking overall 112 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: and another first down there was my first first placement 113 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: for brisket because I was struggling with brisket for a 114 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: while and then I managed to get the perfect three 115 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: hundred score on that one.

Everything I laid out, which which 137 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: I like. I don't like rushing around or being on 138 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: the back foot here. Just juggling everything. Putting everything in 139 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: the two pets was a bit of a hid hit 140 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: hid game. But we got there and pulled the brisket out, 141 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: opened up, slice and all. This actually feels really good 142 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: for a change. 143 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: Right, so you kind of knew, Yeah, I thought it 144 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: was a good eye the other way around, right, run 145 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: that you think is great, and they always bombs, and 146 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: then the one that you're like, I'm not sure about that, 147 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: and then suddenly they're calling your name. 148 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: You're like, what that Yeah, there's most of our other cooks. 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: So this is banging in the midpeg.

Was getting you 176 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: pricked done early. It was just up so late, trying 177 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: to get everything really for the next day, not much 178 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 2: leep and you done earlier is a lot easier now 179 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: go on site most of the big stuff. Yeah. Yeah, 180 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 2: And it took a long time and it was the 181 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: weather was not great, the lighting was pretty pretty dim 182 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: as well. Another one was where at Mania last year 183 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: we had a there was a brisket that were cooked 184 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: up so sweet, that's all nice and ready to put 185 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: in the hot box, and then I forgot to keep 186 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: my pits hot. So it came time to getting close 187 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 2: to end and it's all checked this So it was 188 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 2: pretty tough and I looked at my pitts are it's 189 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: way too way too low. So pretty much you have 190 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 2: to end in brisket surfboards on that one. Tough and 191 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: right up here, yeah, listen, learn keeping pit hot. 192 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good one, that isn't it? Like we 193 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: always have at least one pit that we know, even 194 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: if it's you know, normally, actually I like to keep 195 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: the chicken pit is normally the one I keep on 196 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: because that one's done and dusted right, it's out the 197 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: way pretty early. And I had that one on a 198 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: fan so that it's pretty easy just to leave the 199 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: fans set to two seventy five and then I know 200 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: it's sitting there and if you need to pump it up, 201 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: like it takes five minutes to pump up if you 202 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: want to get out for four hundred or something like 203 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: that really like get some heat in something fast. Yeah, 204 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: but that's that's a good one. And it always amazes 205 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: me when I walked past teams and they're prepping on 206 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: site and I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm glad I'm not 207 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: trimming right now at eleven o'clock.

It's there's no problem with it at all. 239 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: Even the skins, you know, all that kind of stuff 240 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: is absolute. 241 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it takes a long time. That's probably the 242 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: worst trimming. There's the chicken fall on me anyway. 243 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. We've spoken to some of the guys 244 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: in the States who literally say at the beginning of 245 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: the season, they buy, you know, three cartoons of chicken 246 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: and spend two days doing chicken, and they'll literally freeze 247 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: like thirty comps worth of chicken and just pull out, 248 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: pull out, and they're like, Okay, we do it once 249 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: for the year and it's done.

Is that still the 254 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: protein you're working on most or is there another one 255 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: that's really like bugging you right now? 256 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, pork rooms at the moment a bugging me at 257 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: the moment. Let's see, it's because consistency. It's either really 258 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: good or really not good. So just splittling a few 259 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: different tips from everyone just as we go. 260 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: Really are you finding like are you going over or 261 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: under or is it both? Like are you just trying 262 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: to what's been the issue with your pork ribs. 263 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: It's been flavoring in texture. Yeah, most of the time 264 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: my flavoring would just sweat off. That was the colorful 265 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: record ribs with no flavor on it. 266 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the in the wrap stage or. 267 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: In the rep stage. Yeah, yeah, sometimes it might be 268 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: a little bit too tough. But working on it, Yeah, 269 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: I found. 270 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: We used to get a bit of that, like the 271 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: rub would come off in the rap too much, and 272 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: it was because we weren't getting it set enough. And 273 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: the reason I think we weren't getting it set enough 274 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: was because we were then layering three lots of rub 275 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: on there. And yeah, it was just too much rub 276 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: and it was going cakey and it was taking ages 277 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: to bark up. And by the time if we left 278 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: it till it would set, it would be too dark 279 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: because of the sugars and that kind of stuff. So 280 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: we started We now blend all our rubs that we 281 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: want to use in advance, so it's just one layer. 282 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and we've found that, you know, you still 283 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: get all the flavors you want, but you don't get 284 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: that real thick, barkie rub. So it allows us to 285 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: set it much better. And we've been much better since then. 286 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: So it's been an interesting journey that. 287 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: Some interesting I remember. 288 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: I remember when somebody when we started, and I think 289 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: it was Heinrich who used to be beef beer barbecue, 290 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: and he always said ribs are a lottery. 291 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: Oh yes, Now. 292 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: You never know who's going to win ribs and it 293 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: could be anyone, and it's like crazy. Sometimes they hit 294 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: and sometimes they don't. It's not sure. 295 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: Yes, It's like when we're in smoking the coast on 296 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: that first year. We you do pork ribs on two days. 297 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: So the first day we had the best looking ribs. 298 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: Things look all right, this tastes pretty good, and I 299 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: think it was midpec. We ended up with maybe below 300 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: in the next next day's ribs were not as good 301 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: as the first. They were weren't cut nice. It was 302 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: half my trimming, I suppose, so they went pretty and 303 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: then yeah, I think it was Prizegiving. Was sitting there 304 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: pretty tired because it was a big weekend, and I 305 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: got to ribs and there the countdown from twenty. It 306 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: was carried on going forward the proteins. When we started 307 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: hearing our name, it's cool, wait, we've got to top twenty. 308 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: And then was the thing. It was Nick Ball and 309 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: standing next to me, walk, Hey, you've got to walk. 310 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: Where are we going on stage? Okay? And I think, yeah, 311 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: we've got second place ribs on there, and I think 312 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: I was on camp back to you guys. 313 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: On we picked up first and the because I think 314 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: Rum and Q won the first day and we won 315 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: the second or the other way around. I can't remember. 316 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: Which one it was, because but yeah, I've definitely I 317 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: think I've got Yeah, I can see that trophy from 318 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: where I am right now. It's just above me. 319 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, to say see that, there's a lot of 320 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: a year. You're pretty right. 321 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: It is, man, And sometimes I'm I mean, we're learning 322 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: ribs all the time, right because you know we've learned 323 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: you've got to push them harder than you think. They've 324 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: got to be a bit over because then they tighten 325 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: back up and yeah, and then you're like, how far over? 326 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: Like how soft you want them? And sometimes you're like 327 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: they've tightened up enough, and and then for me, it's 328 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: the learnings that I'm still doing on that is actually 329 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: the slicing.

I know you do it 370 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: in advance, but what's your routine? 371 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 2: Probably a week out with start doing sauces and whatnot 372 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: and putting everything together, and the tor chest injections will 373 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: do the morning of before we hit off. So my 374 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: morning routine for that day is just put in the 375 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: injitions together, put the meat in the the cold box, 376 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: and tie everything down the where we go. That's pretty 377 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 2: much all that meet's done. 378 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, and probably frozen and then defrosting as. 379 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 2: Well, righty, frosting. 380 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: You guys are pretty organized on the meat side of things. 381 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'll give the barbecues clean up, so I've 382 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: got to go to work. I'll probably do it before 383 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 2: I go for my two weeks. So I think I 384 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: saw a post on Facebook probably about six months ago, 385 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 2: there was a Nikita I was talking about Scott from 386 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 2: Cabin Addiction. How we plugged the hot water tip into 387 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: the water blasts. What what majures gable to go? And 388 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: the holy made a hell of a difference. No idea 389 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: if it's good for the water blasts or not. But 390 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: so far, so good, So far, so good. That's what 391 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 2: I a a week. 392 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: Yet I haven't tried that yet. I'm I'm notoriously anal 393 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: on cleaning the grills. The greats will get a full 394 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: wash after every single cook. But yeah, the pit's a 395 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: little bit a little bit less now who is responsible 396 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: for what? Or do you do all the prep or 397 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: do you hand off the chicken? 398 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: Yes, chicken has gone. I helped with the prep, but 399 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: cooking wise, Mandy is all over it. She's been doing well, 400 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 2: getting stronger and stronger each time. So I think our 401 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 2: last comp and King of the Mountain, she ended up 402 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: with the three hundred score three hundred, so she was 403 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 2: aiming for that this year. So she's got one of 404 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: her goals, which was cool. 405 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: And does she trim as well, or do you still 406 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: have it? 407 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 2: She does? 408 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: She does supervise. 409 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: Oh no, I do. She does the skins too rough. 410 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Do you do all the other all the 411 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: other prep or do you equally between you the prep? 412 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: That's easy enough? 413 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I like it. Huh do you do you 414 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: enjoy it? 415 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: I enjoy it sometimes chickens along sucking a saw back, 416 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 2: but yeah, no, I do enjoy the ones. 417 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: I just find it super like therapeutic. I just go 418 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: into a little zone and I'm super happy trimming and 419 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: making sources and mixing rubs and all this kind of stuff, 420 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, oh, it's just a little happy place. 421 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: Pop a movie on, just kind of like get going. 422 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. So you're pretty organized. 423 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Do you have any competition, rituals or superstitions that you 424 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: have to have? 425 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: Not so much superstitions. I do run an spreadsheet, got 426 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: to have that sort of If I don't have that, 427 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: I'll be screwed. 428 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 429 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: My memory is shot. I don't know what's going on. 430 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 2: So if I have got a put paper in front 431 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 2: of me, I'm happy. So that's got to be done. 432 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: I've already done one for Jack. This two weeks away 433 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: and I'll have one done for mania shortly. It's just 434 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: quite easy. Well, we started doing comps as deciphered dejecting 435 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: your shot as this alone with expisso Martini does to 436 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: wake up for the day. 437 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: Wow, So you're coming and doing a shot and then 438 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: you're going back for an espresso. Mart we might start 439 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: giving you double shots then keep keep you going. Well, 440 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: that that's just that sounds like a bit of a 441 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: superstition to me. If you know anything tradition now, tradition superstition, 442 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: I won't be up. Are there any do you have 443 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: any mascots, any lucky socks, anything like that that you 444 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: that you use or it's all just turn and turn 445 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: it up and right, Well, I can't. We can't like 446 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: scufpy you by stealing like the Lucky the Lucky Pig 447 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: or anything like that. That's kind of annoying. So if 448 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: you could go back, and it's not actually that far, 449 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: it's not as far as speaks. If you could go back, 450 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: get the old Dolorean out and find competition number one 451 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: Morgan as competition now Morgan, and give yourself a piece 452 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: of advice, knowing what you know. Now, what advice would 453 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: you give your competition. 454 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: Oneself was talking about getting the PRIP done sooner. Probably 455 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: write more down. There's so many everyone's so awesome on 456 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: the scene, they'd give you so much advice. You give 457 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 2: so much tups. I've probably forgotten half of them, so 458 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 2: probably writes some more down. 459 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: It's not a bad one to be honest. I wrote 460 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: loads of stuff down when we first started. Now I've 461 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: probably forgotten more than I've forgotten more than I've learned. Again, 462 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: I probably need to start doing it again. But I mean, 463 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm the same as you. I'm a big note taker 464 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: on my phone and stuff like that. Like when we 465 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: do practice cooks, we'll keep a tally of everything we've 466 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: done and how it went, and then that always goes 467 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: into the into the schedule that we run, the Excel 468 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: sheet kind of stuff that we do. And now I'm 469 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: in that great position where you know, I've got like 470 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: three or four years worth of Excel sheets that I 471 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: can go back for any competition and go, right, what 472 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: did we do there that worked? Bring that timeline over 473 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: to this one. Yeah that didn't work. Get rid of 474 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: that timeline. 475 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good one. They want. You don't want 476 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 2: to get mandy to write down all the times that 477 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 2: things happen on the day, and then you can refine 478 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: your run sheet. So our run sheet is completely different 479 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: to what was at the start. So yeah, I. 480 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: Find that on each competition sheet, I just put in 481 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: whatever the hand in times are. Put the hand in 482 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: times in, and then I'll literally copy and paste timelines 483 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: that have won were done well into that sheet. And 484 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: as long as you put it on the you know 485 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: the end on, you match the end up, it's then yeah, 486 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: set for you. Right. So then okay, well, now I 487 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: know what time I have to start that and what 488 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: time that has start and what time thats start, and 489 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: I know that it's usually the last one because I've 490 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: tinker a little bit or gone on either Chicken needed 491 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: to go on fifteen minutes later or something like that. 492 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: And then it's through. What is one thing that you 493 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: change and one thing that you never want to change 494 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: about competition barbecue? 495 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not too sure what I would change. 496 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: What I'd never would see changes. The people in the 497 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: whole scene. Everyone's extremely helpful and generous, and the family 498 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: vivers pretty cool. It's pretty cool. All the kids will 499 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: run away do their own thing, you be little critters. Basically, 500 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: I think it was a big from Gilmore's just she's 501 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: just descrubbing all those comprets. It's a little nickname Compres, 502 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 2: which is quite fitting. 503 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: I think there's a few in there, are they Are 504 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: they particularly mates with any other team in particular? 505 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, they mingled with pretty much all of them. It's 506 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 2: it's the regulars, like the Roman Cue kids. 507 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: The I think Zach from Roman Cure is a little 508 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: ringleader of that. Oh yeah, that crew. I think he 509 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, the apple did not fall far from the 510 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: tree with young Zach, and I believe he leads them 511 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: astray regularly. 512 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 2: Oh that's the one that's good. 513 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: But I mean the people is definitely right, I think yeah. 514 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm with you because my daughter Phoebe 515 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: comes to a lot of the competitions and whether there's 516 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: Kids Qure or sometimes she does the s c A 517 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: and and she's a Parsley box maker. That's what she 518 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: loves to do as well. She's helped out in loads 519 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: of places, but she really enjoys coming down and being 520 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: part of it. And that family atmosphere really is something 521 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: that the n ZBA has done really well. And New 522 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: Zealand as a whole I think has done really well 523 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: in that sense, so definitely would never want to change that. 524 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: I agree with you there. And what is uh, what 525 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: is the current competition goal for you guys, Like, what's 526 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: the thing that you've got that you're trying to tick off? 527 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 2: I think got a few things in the top teen, 528 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: So if we could stay there, they'll be they'll be phenomenal. Yeah, 529 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: been so younger, gain in the game and having some 530 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: proteins or even the overall results and top teen that'll 531 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 2: be for be sick. 532 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: So here's a question. Here's an extra question that we 533 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: haven't put on the list, but you know, this is 534 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: something I've found chats with my little group of you know, 535 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: in our in our kind of group of teams, so 536 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: that we always have this conversation. Do you think it 537 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: is better to have an incredibly consistent day that sees 538 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: you with no top threes but all but solid top 539 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: tens and a top ten finish overall, or would you 540 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: rather bomb three things and win the fourth. 541 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: We've been doing the later one. Everything you will always 542 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: always get one decent decent resulting in two or three 543 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: not so good, So be good to have consistency over everything. 544 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: I'm a top ten. Yeah, it consisting, it'll be good. 545 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. See I thought that, and then King of the 546 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: Mountain had I top ten everything and we finished seventh. 547 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: Oh so I didn't get any like, you know, no 548 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: big trophies, and I love getting a big trophy. Yeah, 549 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: And I was like, this is actually good for my 550 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: overall and it's good for my points and all this 551 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But do you know what I kind 552 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: of was like, I'd rather on three things and really 553 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: one it's great big war. It's a really interesting little dynamic. 554 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: Well, I suppose it will give you some good points 555 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: doing it on one protein at a time. If you 556 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 2: get to do more than one, confer it. 557 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: Does in the protein ones, but then you know the 558 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: overall scores, yeah, you won't do because you'll be down 559 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: the pack and all those kind of things. So it's 560 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: a bit of an I mean, it's a nice conundrum 561 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: to have, right, You're either doing consistent or you're winning 562 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: a trove film. And I think that's a pretty good 563 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: spot to be it. 564 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, another one of my goals, one of another one 565 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: of my goals is for the sea. Me and Mandy 566 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 2: walked into the King of the Mountain tied since I've 567 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 2: been an individual. Cook, I just want to beat it. 568 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 2: It's going to come out on top. She's been nailing 569 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: me last year and the start of the year, so 570 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 2: we just ended up being tired. So I think I've 571 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: managed to get two points ahead after a little bit, a. 572 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: Little bit of niggel in the Brunswick House between the. 573 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: You've got to have some stomping right. 574 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: Now the river. You've got your golden ticket? 575 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: Yes, mainly got both last year and I got the 576 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: ancillary last year. 577 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: Right. Would you would you go? If you both got 578 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: your tickets? Would you get to Texas? Do you think. 579 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: With work being consistent? Yeah? 580 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big ask. Right, It's not cheap. It's 581 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: not cheap to get there, it's not cheap when you 582 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: get there. I was talking to Steven Cook the other day, 583 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: who is you know, they're obviously prepping to go to 584 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: the jack, and he was telling me that it's nearly 585 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: two to one for the dollar at the moment, which 586 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: lumps a huge amount of cost to get there, but 587 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: you know they're in the jack, so they're going, Yeah, 588 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,239 Speaker 1: they're going to do it. Certainly, I think it's been 589 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: cheaper and other with our extrage right, So that's definitely 590 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: an area of going well. We've made it through. We've 591 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: made it through. I think we found out a few 592 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: little things about you along the way, and we're obviously 593 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: keen to see how you go and the rest of 594 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: the rest of this year. I'm going to say, hopefully 595 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: not too well. Hopefully I'm above you, because I'm pretty 596 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: sure you're above me at the moment. I'd like to 597 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: climb back above. So if you could just have some 598 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: bad ones, that'd be great for me personally. I will 599 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: wish you all the best for this weekend, to both 600 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: of you for the SCA at the Auckland Home Show, 601 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: which by the time this show comes out everybody will 602 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: know and we will see you next in Napier the 603 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,959 Speaker 1: West Shore in and I'm very much looking forward to 604 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: that and seeing how you go, so I'll wish you 605 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: all the luck for that one as well.
