37
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: the Great with my husband, Morgan Brunswick. And of course

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: our kids. Our kids are in amongst It two in

39
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: the Kids League at the moment, kick an ass, so

40
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: they're doing really good. Yeah, we're from Topol. We came

41
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: onto the scene about a year and a half, almost

42
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: two years ago, I think, Yeah, just jumped in and

43
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: gave it a go and loved it ever since and

44
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: just yeah, haven't stopped. Really, it's been awesome. We've done

45
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: d b A and s c A, so you know,

46
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: both of us do at all. Yeah, I love it.

47
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: You did certainly make a bit of an entrance. I

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: think was the one Mount Smart Bruise and Cues. Was

49
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: that your first competition? Was that your second?

50
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: That was our Morgan and I's first one. We went

51
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: and just sort of dipped our toes in an s

52
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: c A first because we sort of thought that m

53
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: DBA was a little bit too daunting just yet. And

54
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: that was at the Blues and Barbecues festival and then yeah,

55
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't long after that that was the Mount Smart one,

56
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: But we couldn't make it to that one, so the

57
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: other half of our team went to that one on

58
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: their own and I think they took out the the.

59
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: They got something I remember them, Yeah, the beef category.

60
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: I remember thinking, who are these guys?

61
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, and then yeah, and we just didn't stop

62
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: after that. It was, Yeah, every every company we went to,

63
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: we got a little something anyway, or we got a

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: call or you know, and yeah, it was really awesome.

65
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I think our first one together was Brutown in Wellington

66
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: and that one was really really awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed

67
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: that and did really well and got best new team

68
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: and got a few top tens and yeah, we were

69
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: like pretty proud of ourselves for that one, I think.

70
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: So just thinking about those things, the things that you

71
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: are proud of, what's been the proudest achievement so far?

72
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: The competition of life, There's.

73
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: So many, It's just so many good stuff. Definitely, like

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the first so like, my first SCA that I ever

75
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: entered was the Barbecues Blues and Barbecues and Retaura and

76
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: I entered the ancillary so it was a beer ancillary

77
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: and I did a beer Bryan scollops and like a

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: pasta dash and it was all very elaborate and all

79
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: done like on site. I was, yeah, it's pretty new

80
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: to it, and yeah I got a third place trophy

81
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: for that one, so I was pretty damn proud of

82
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: proud of myself for that. And Morgan that was his

83
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: first steak as well, so he had got a seventh place.

84
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, we were pretty pretty staked with that on

85
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: our first ever try, so that was cool. Definitely getting

86
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: a second place trophy at our first ever meat Stock

87
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: for my stake, So I was really stoked about that

88
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: out of the big pool that there was at meat Stock.

89
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Definitely definitely tough with that, pretty proud of pretty much

90
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: everything the kids do. They just they're just amazing and

91
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: they're awesome, and I love seeing them getting walks and yeah,

92
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: getting things and they kick us. They're doing so cool.

93
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: But definitely I think one of my personal, like real

94
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: really proud moments is definitely pulling off Mania. So this

95
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: year we took over Mania from barbecue Mania from Hamilton

96
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: and previous years and we brought it over to Toport

97
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, I organized it from here and it all

98
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: went off really well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves

99
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: and loved the process. Actually it was really good fun.

100

Speaker 2: Much how much of a like how much of a

110
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: challenge was that to flip from competitive mode to promoter

111
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: mode and then actually back to competitive mode. Yeah in

112
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: the on the day because you guys competed as well.

113

Speaker 1: Yep, we sure did. We competed the whole weekend, so

114
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: and I knew it was going to be really full on,

115
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: so I wasn't exactly surprised, but yes, it really did.

116
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: It took it out of me. It was a lot.

117
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I think I did so much running around on the Friday.

118
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: So you know, bumping is on the Friday, so you're

119
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: organizing everyone to come in. We're at a care ground,

120
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,280

121
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: right spots and all sorted and had everything they needed.

122
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: And I just ran around with my clipboard and non

123
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: stuff all friday. And then by the end of Friday,

124
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: my feet were already aching and my legs aching, and

125
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, we haven't even started

126
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: the competition yet and I'm already like oh, but yeah,

127
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,800

128
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: adrenaline all weekend and yeah, yeah, and.

129
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to get into the rest of

130
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: the question, but there's a couple of things from this,

131
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: because you guys did pretty well at that competition as well.

132
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did okay, and you.

133
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: Had some pretty major challenges. Yeah leading up to it,

134
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: didn't you.

135
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: For ourselves cooking or yeah?

136
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe some supply Oh.

137
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So I mean everything went so well and yeah,

138
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: as in like that a whole and the event itself,

139
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: like there wasn't anything that went to a rye. It

140
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: was just Yes, we had a a sponsor that was

141
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: going to well usually supplies us with our meat for comps,

142
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: and that fell through and he disappeared off the face

143
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: of the earth. So I hope he's still alive. But

144
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, we didn't. So we had I think we

145
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: had we already had a brisket in the freezer. We

146
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: went to M twenty one and they were awesome and

147
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: they hooked us up with some chicken. I think we

148
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: must have also had a pork in the free in

149
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: the freezer as well. And then we got our good

150
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: mate Josh Fash to bring us down some ribs from Auckland,

151
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: because you know, Tope was not the best place to

152
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: well not the easiest place to get some of these things,

153
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: so swift ribs can you know, be a bit hard

154
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: to get if we don't pre order them kind of thing.

155
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, so luckily we made it. That was fine,

156
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: it was, it was all good. We made it. And

157
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: M twenty one I must mention again as well. Actually

158
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: M twenty one meets in top Or. They came to

159
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: the game for us for or dinner as well, So

160
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: that same sponsor was supposed to help us out with

161
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the burgers and sausages dinner for the Saturday night and

162
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: didn't come through. So we head in twenty one jump

163
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: on board and help us out and do a really

164
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: good deal for that. So we managed to get dinner done,

165
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: so that was good too.

166
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: I think, you know, battling adversity sometimes is part of

167
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: competition exactly, and you guys definitely did it. Yeah, maybe

168
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: this leads us on into you know, what was what's

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: been your biggest learning moment in competition?

170
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I think we've always been

171
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: quite cruisy and go with the flow as well, which

172
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: I think has helped. But I suppose, yeah, you do

173
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: learn more of that as you go along as well,

174
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: like just like you say, with adversity, there's always going

175
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: to be something. You know, nothing can ever go perfectly,

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: so it's like you do you just work with it

177
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: as you go. And yeah, I think I've started to

178
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: not overthink things. I think, especially on the SCA side

179
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,479
Speaker 1: of stuff, I have tended to overthink, especially with ancillaries.

180
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: In my first few while or maybe even the first year,

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: I really overthought everything. And yeah, and then sometimes when

182
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I've put my everything and really oversought it and put

183
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: it into it and I would get no results for

184
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: certain things, I was like, oh, you know, it was

185
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: like real crushing. I was like, oh, man, So I

186
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: think this year I took the idea of just going

187
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: with the flow and chilling out and making things a

188
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: bit easier for myself. So where I could, I would,

189
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, pre do as much as I can, or

190
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, just just go with simpler recipes or yeah,

191
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: because there was one point where I went down south

192
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: and I had made a I think it was for

193
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: let there be Meat, and I had made a handmade pasta,

194
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: and so I took my pasta machine down with me

195
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: and I was handmaking pasta the night before, and yeah,

196
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: and we went on this massive mission to try and

197
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: find crayfish because I thought, oh, South Island can't mean

198
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: that had to find crayfish. But it was, and it

199
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: was really expensive and I ended up going with something

200
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: completely different. But yeah, so yeah, just going with the

201
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: flow and trying to make things as easy as possible

202
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: for yourself and not overthinking and over overdoing things. I think, Yeah, which.

203
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: Is interesting because given SCA, especially in the ancillary world,

204
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: it just seems from somebody who doesn't really I don't

205
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: really do anything ancillary, got people around me who do,

206
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: but it always seems that's like the place to be

207
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: super complicated. Yeah, the thing is like extravagant yeah stuff.

208
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's where I and that's where

209
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: I started. I was just like, yeah, straight off the bed,

210
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: it was like scarlets and pasta and you know, I

211
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 1: was going really elaborate, really expensive things, and you know, yeah,

212
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: but I you do notice after a wee while some

213
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: others not taking it as seriously and you know, just

214
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: sort of checking in a bit of whatever and giving

215
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: it a go and getting place things. And I was

216
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: kind of like, hmm, maybe if I don't have to

217
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: put in that much stress and effort and you know,

218
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: money into it and still get some results. Maybe that's

219
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: the path I should be going towards a little bit more.

220
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: But then if you're in, if you're in the ancillary side,

221
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: you know, you're always up against the monsters.

222
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte and Troy. Yes and Troy, So.

223
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 2: They're always coming out at full boor they are.

224
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and yeah, I just absolutely love both of them.

225
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: They're the coolest people ever. And yeah, being biggest helps

226
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: for us and stuff as well. Like even on our

227
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: first my first ancillary, Charlotte was the first person to

228
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: come over and help us with anything that we needed

229
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: and talked me through things and bla blah blah. And

230
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: we don't even know each other. She just came and

231
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: took me under her wagon, was like, you know, this

232
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: is blah blah blah blah blah and explained everything and yeah,

233
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: she was amazing. And yeah, just Troy is just a

234
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: weapon and he's an inspiration.

235
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: I think Charlotte can quite help herself. She just has

236
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: to help people, and yes, yeah, be a good she

237
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: can't even when it's probably to her detriment.

238
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, Yeah, Yeah, I think she loves it, I think, yeah, yeah,

239
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: I think she probably loves it push, you know, like

240
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: you don't want to be at the top by yourself

241
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: all the time, or she wants not never by herself

242
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: with the toy, but you know, yeah, yeah, and I

243
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: think she's always back in the girls and stuff as well,

244
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, she's always been a big yeah, helping out

245
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: the girls and let's you know, let's all get together

246
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: and kick a ass together. Yeah. Yeah, she's one of

247
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the best people ever.

248
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: Now you can you can choose here, choose whether you

249
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: want to think about n Z B A, s C

250
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: A or whatever. But what is either the protein or

251
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: the thing that you're working on the hardest at the

252
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: most for either of your competition sides.

253
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Well for both. I mean, I'm I'm the chicken lady

254
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: for the MDBA out the great team. So Morgan takes

255
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: care of most of the other things, you know, of course,

256
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: somebody you're helping, but yeah, and chicken to my baby,

257
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and he helps me with that of course. So yeah,

258
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: but I've been getting consistently okay chicken scores for that one,

259
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't have to try too hard and

260
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: we just kind of stick with it. And even if

261
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: we don't get so good one time, I don't rush

262
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: to change it or anything like that. I just stick

263
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: with what we you know, what has worked pretty well

264
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: most of the time, and we stick with that, so

265
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: that's not so bad. And SCA definitely, I would say

266
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: steaks this year. So I kind of concentrated on and

267
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: stillary is more last year. And I got really frustrated

268
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: with steaks last year because I just couldn't nail it.

269
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: I just couldn't work out what it was that I

270
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: was doing so wrong. But you know, I was always

271
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: way bottom of the pack, and I got to the

272
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: end of the year almost and it was Yeah, I

273
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: was nearly ready to give up on stakes completely. I

274
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, back a Steaks. I don't want

275
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: to do them anymore. It's obviously not my thing. And

276
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: then we went to the master class in christ Church

277
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: with Tie and Will. Yeah, and that was really really awesome,

278
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: and I think that must have been the game changer.

279
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I can't even remember what

280
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: I picked up that was that important, but it must

281
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: have been just a whole lot of little things. And

282
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: then yeah, pretty much straight off the back of that,

283
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: my next comp was the blues and barbecues again and

284
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: right a R and I managed to get myself a

285
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: first place. So from the bottom of the pack, did

286
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: one masterclass straight off the back of that got a

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: first place. So I was like, yes, I'm in, and

288
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: that's that's all it takes for me is one good

289
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: little placing and then I'm like, all right, I'm all in. Yeah,

290
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: so I get yeah, really into it. And of course,

291
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: as everyone may have noticed on the leaderboards and at

292
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: comps and things like that, there is now a little

293
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: bit of a marital feud going on here with the steaks.

294
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, Morgan and I are kind of battling it

295
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: out almost in between us. We don't even really care

296
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: about who else is on the on the list, it's

297
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: just whether me and him beat each other in steak.

298
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: So that's been a lot of good financially, and I

299
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: think everyone else is jumping on board and finding it

300
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: quite amusing too, so it's all good fun. Yeah, tell us.

301
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: A little bit about your your setup, like and whether

302
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: you know do you actually let's think of maybe from

303
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: the SCA side, what what because we normally talk to

304
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: NZBA guy people, and you see, Morgan's been on already. Yeah,

305
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: so you can go back and live if you want

306
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: to know about the NBA setup, you can go back

307
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: and listen to the Morgan Brunswick.

308
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: That's right.

309
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: What do you use for your SCA side? What's your kit?

310
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: So I've got a Oklahoma Joe Rambler. Yeah, and I

311
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: love my rambler. It's bloody. Yeah, it's a great little unit.

312
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: It's really really good. And of course the grill greats

313
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: in the in the girl flipper for my steaks and

314
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: things like that. But yeah, and then ancillaries depends on

315
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: what of their's. Sometimes I've got the deep fryer with me.

316
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: I think we've taken the air fryer before. That might

317
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: have been for the kids, but yeah, yeah deep prior

318
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: and all sorts come come along with us. But yeah,

319
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: mostly just work off the rambler myself.

320
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: It's funny you always kind of know where the ancillary

321
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: cooks are going because that's the time where it's most

322
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: likely for the power to yes.

323
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeahs and yeah, all those funny little things you

324
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't think take that much power, ah, but they do.

325
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.

326
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: Well, as we found out a topal at one point,

327
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: I think that we worked out It must have been

328
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 2: when everybody put hurtles on for coffee on the Saturday

329
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: morning and all the power trips.

330
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I actually talked to the park manager and

331
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: she was a bit like, oh, what you know, that's

332
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: really unusual. That doesn't usually happen. And then later on

333
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: when I talked to her, she goes, oh, it was

334
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the fire down the down the road. Do you remember

335
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: seeing the smoke and there was sirens and stuff going

336
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: past at one point because I had gone off to

337
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: like do some kind of earin. It was before the

338
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: company even started. I think it was just on set

339
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: up day. Was it Friday?

340
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: It was on the Saturday, Yeah, I think it was

341
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: Saturday morning. Yeah, it was definitely Saturday morning.

342
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: And it was something to do with Yeah, that fire

343
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: that was there was a big house fire down the road. Yeah,

344
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: and apparently because it because it cut off a lot

345
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: of people's power for a short amount of times. So

346
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, and so she goes, it must

347
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: have been that. So yeah, it was.

348
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: Very It was normally it's a kettle. It's normally plugging

349
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: a kettle that blows everything up.

350
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: And you're like, yeah, because i'd only just jet off

351
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: to do it to do something. And I came back

352
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: and in front of me in that road, that big

353
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: straight road, was like a whole lot of firefighters and stuff,

354
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, rushing off, and I was like, guys, I've

355
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: left for like five minutes. You haven't set the whole

356
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: park on fire already, have you? Jeez? I was like,

357
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: please don't go to the park, Please, don't the campground.

358
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: Now? What's your what's your what's your prep look like?

359
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: Like?

360
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: What does prep like? When? How far back? For an

361
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: s c an sell and you're doing sc an cilleries?

362
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: How far back do you start prep?

363
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Definitely my like I said, my first year, overthinking it,

364
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: I was months ahead if I could, if we knew

365
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: what it was, or weeks ahead, and there would be

366
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: several practices and I was trying to think of those close.

367
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: But I have like a little book where I would

368
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: like write out ideas and then i'd start forming the

369
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: actual recipe, and even every now and then i'd like

370
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: draw Because'm quite a visual like creative person, So I

371
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: would draw my idea so I'd see it in my

372
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: head first, so I would see this idea for whatever

373
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: it was, the ancillary, and I would draw out this

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: idea of what I wanted it to look like. And yeah,

375
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: Morgan was always amazed at how I would draw it

376
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: out and then I would make it and it would

377
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: look exactly like what I drew and He's like, how

378
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: do you do that? And I'm like, I don't know,

379
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: It's just it's just how I work. But yeah, so

380
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: I yeah, draw right out like I say. This year,

381
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: though it's a little bit more haphazard and a little

382
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: bit less organizing and a little less practicing. And I

383
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: don't know what it is about my brain, but sometimes

384
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: my brain goes, you've never cooked that before, Let's do that. Yeah,

385
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: let's do that. So I'm going to try and stop

386
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: my brain from doing that sometimes because I'm just thinking,

387
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: why am I making this big elaborate thing that I've

388
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: never tried before. I don't know if it's going to

389
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: work out, but yeah, it's just the way my cre

390
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: of brain works, I guess. And I got to have

391
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: a bit of fun in there. I guess.

392
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: Do you have do you have like a bank of

393
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: ideas just sitting there? Do you have a whole thing?

394
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: And your guy, I know that something like this might

395
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: pop up, like these kind of categories you're always going

396
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: to occasionally there'll be a bacon one every now and again. Yeah,

397
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: and anything with and stuff like that. Yeah, like a

398
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: or do you literally go every time? You're like, right,

399
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: that's the category. What shall I do?

400
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: Now? I have started over the times, like you know,

401
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: after your first few you do start banking ideas and

402
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: start getting the idea of what's to come next and

403
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: what would be ideas. So yeah, I definitely have and

404
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: I've I go on Interest and so that's quite American

405
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: based as well. You get a lot of American stuff,

406
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: which is quite cool because they, yeah, they have those

407
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: good different ideas. So I started going on Interest and

408
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: I've got a whole board that is barbecue ancillary, and

409
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: then it's sub categorized into like yeah, honey, beer breaking, tacos,

410
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the ancillary idea is. And yeah, just

411
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: for future reference. If I just you know, am scrolling

412
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: and think, oh gosh, that looks delicious, you know I've

413
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: got to give that to go how pop it in

414
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: there and for later reference? So yeah, it works out

415
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: pretty well.

416
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: Right. So obviously, you know, the prep can kind of

417
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: go up and down. But one thing that doesn't go

418
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: up and down. I find one thing that stays pretty

419
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: constant is rituals, superstitions, things that have to be there

420
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: or be in a certain or be done at a

421
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: certain time for you to feel like you're on you know,

422
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: you're on on course, Like what do you have? And

423
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: this can be either you know, s C A or

424
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: ends aba, like those little things that make you run properly.

425
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing superstitious. I don't think I did. I am

426
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: a wee bit of a woo woo gilly, so I

427
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: did have I think for the first few I did

428
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: have a crystal in my pocket, and I think it

429
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: must have worked for the first yeah, first couple, and

430
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: so I thought, oh, I'll take that, But then I

431
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: don't know, I just that just dropped off and I

432
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: forgot about that, so that one didn't last too long.

433
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: But otherwise not really. No, it's just having Morgan. I

434
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: think having Morgan is my safety net or something of sorts.

435
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel very disorganized if I don't

436
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: have him. He's like the really good one at time

437
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: watching and you know, I'm got at lists but written

438
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: in my own way, and he's got it Excel spreadsheets,

439
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: so he sort of does things out like that. But yeah,

440
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: I rely on him a lot too, like my calls

441
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: or you know, know when to start things or he's

442
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: always like it's time to you know, sort your steak out,

443
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: or it's time to wash the brin off or whatever

444
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: it is, you know. And yeah, he keeps me in

445
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: lying because my brain has just scattered me of the time.

446
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, a little bit.

447
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: He's the time keeper, yeah.

448
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: Which is Yeah, It's amazing. It would be really interesting

449
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: to see how I'd go for my own one, although

450
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: actually I have done one by myself. I did go

451
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: down to to Mauru last year and do that one

452
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: by myself because the other half of the team was

453
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: a new Plymouth that must have been yeah, Kinglam Mountain

454
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: and Morgan was at work and he couldn't get off

455
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: work and I was like, oh, I might go down

456
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: and do the SCA. Actually, so yeah, I went down

457
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: and did that by my South but I wasn't totally

458
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: by myself. I have my my family down there, so

459
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm originally a South Islander as well. So any chance

460
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: to go down there for an SCA, I'm usually there

461
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: or in DBA. Actually, any chance to go down South,

462
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm there. And my brother is into barbecueing as well,

463
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: and I've dragged him along for a few scas and

464
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: he's done a few stakes, and yeah, I bought him

465
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: a rambler for his birthday and he's got a tragger

466
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 1: as well at home, so he gets right into it,

467
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: and yeah, jumps at the chance for when we come

468
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: down to come and hang out with us at the comps,

469
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's starting to get to know everyone as well.

470
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: Well. They definitely need a few more ENZBA teams down there,

471
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: so maybe you can, yeah, yeah, a few mates together

472
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 2: and another.

473
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: New South Island I reckon you should, Yeah, definitely, Yeah, Now.

474
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: If you could, if the old barbecue Dolorean pulls up

475
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: outside and can take you back to a little convo

476
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: with pre first competition Mandy from Today's Mandy, Yeah, what

477
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: piece of advice are you going to give yourself?

478
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: Pretty much the same as before. I just don't stops

479
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: overthinking it and panicking and worrying about it so much

480
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: and stressing about it so much, because yeah, I definitely

481
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: even joying it a little bit more this year, not Yeah,

482
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: not panicking about things so much and overthinking everything.

483
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: So, yeah, have you found like it's a It's a

484
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: real cliche in sports, like after normally it gets applied

485
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: to quarterbacks, rookie quarterbacks in the NFL, the second year

486
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: is when the game slows down.

487
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that?

488
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: Are you finding that in your kind of like, you know,

489
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: second major year, Yeah, of competing that things, you know,

490
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: you're just a bit more relaxed you kind of you've

491
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: been through these situations before.

492
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we know what to expect now,

493
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: we've been to most of the comps. We know how

494
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: they all run and how the setup is and yeah,

495
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: what's required and things like that, So that sort of

496
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: takes it a little extra element of stress away as well.

497
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: And yeah, we know what we need to pack and

498
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: we know what we need to do and prep and yeah,

499
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: it does make for a bit more relaxing time, Yes, definitely.

500
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: Now are you guys are you a music team a

501
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: non music team?

502
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're a pretty big music team. We usually

503
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: take take one of the big boombo with us and

504
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: play a bit of music.

505
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: And what's on the playlists, Like do you have set

506
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: songs for set times or do you just do you

507
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: have a playlist for camps that shop? Does it work

508
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 2: for you guys.

509
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've just started to try and create It's not

510
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: much of one yet, but we are starting to put

511
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: together a wee bit of a playlist of stuff. Usually

512
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: Morgan's in Chad and he likes to put on real

513
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: high energy like drum and bassff kind of stuff, probably

514
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot from what you'd hear from the Cook Cartail

515
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: Boys as well, similar kind of vibe. Four certain times

516
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: like yeah, when we really need that energy and it

517
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: left and it just kind of like pushed through, and yeah,

518
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: that's that's the kind of music that's good and keeps

519
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: us going. But there is obviously every now and then

520
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: when the waiting times or you know, especially in Didba day,

521
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: I think I tend to want to go for a

522
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: wee bit more cell or some good sing alongs or

523
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: something like that because I can't handle the duf duff

524
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: dufftoff for all day. Yeah too long. Yeah, but yeah,

525
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: we just changed up and both Morgan and I have

526
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: really broad taste of music, so we like anything an everything.

527
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: So you might hear metal coming out about Dent one day,

528
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: and then you might hear drum and bass, and then

529
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: you might hear you know, rock or hipp or so

530
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: you know it'll be all swords.

531
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, so quite an eclectic mix.

532
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely nice.

533
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: Now, what is one thing that you would potentially like

534
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: to change or do a little bit different and one

535
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: thing that you never want to change about competition barbecue?

536
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a hard one, that one. Definitely,

537
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would want to change. And

538
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean I had my chance because I organized my

539
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: own cancer. You know, that would have been the good

540
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: time to change up anything. But yeah, would never want

541
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: to change the people, obviously, and that's what everyone loves

542
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: to say. But yeah, that is true. You know, there's

543
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: we have stayed. Like if we had done that first

544
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:08,239
Speaker 1: sca back and in two thousand and two three, I

545
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't remember when it was, but yeah,

546
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, and the people were rude or you know,

547
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: no one sort of talked to us or anything like that,

548
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: it probably probably wouldn't have kept continuing. But yeah, the

549
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: fact that everyone is just so awesome and so cool

550
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: and the whole scene is so fun and supportive, and yeah,

551
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: just can't fault today. It's it's it's really really awesome

552
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: and I can see why, you know, all the new

553
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: teams that are dubios and it takes away while to start,

554
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: but once you do start, it's just like, oh were

555
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, where have these people been all my life?

556
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: And where is this whole thing being allmal life? And

557
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: you know their they'll dive right in and which is

558
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: exactly what we did as well. Yeah, it's really great.

559
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: What is your current and that we could stretch us out,

560
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: you know, in the next twelve months. What is the

561
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: goal that you've set your And this could be either SCA.

562
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: I think, n ZBA. We're heading towards. We want a GC.

563
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: We definitely want a GC. We've got two RGCs now,

564
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: which is pretty good going in our first year and

565
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: a half. So yeah, I think just you just got

566
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: to keep aiming higher. Where can you go from the

567
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: RGC but a GC? Yeah, so keep yeah, keeping going

568
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: on that. One of our biggest goals was to get

569
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: the top four categories in the top ten, you know.

570
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: So there would always be that one or two that

571
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: would be down midpack or lower or something, and we'd

572
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: do really well in a couple of them, and it

573
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: was always like we can't just you know, and they'd

574
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: flip flop, you know, one would go, you know, and

575
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: then the next time that one would get first, second, third,

576
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: and you know the other things that we're doing great

577
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: before would get middle pack, and we say, gosh, just

578
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: want to even it out. We just wanted to get

579
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: all of them across that one. And that's what we

580
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: did down south at the Ellesmere Show, So the AMP

581
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: show down in Ellesmere and the Smoky Fish and all

582
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: the guys down there, so we got Yeah, we're really

583
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: really proud to have all four proteins in the top ten.

584
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: So here's a bonus question for you based off that,

585
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 2: because I have this long running debate with myself and

586
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 2: other people, which is better to do that to get like, say,

587
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: pick up four four top ten placings for all your

588
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: proteins and a top ten finish, but no walk so

589
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: like no first, second or third, no RGC, no GC.

590
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: But yeah you might get fifth and eighth, ninth, seventh,

591
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: right and six overall, let's say, or to bomb everything

592
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: apart from one category and get the medal.

593
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah get. It is such a hard one because we're

594
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: suckers for a trophy as well. We love trophies. We

595
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: have a whole corner full of them. We haven't got

596
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: much room on our walls, Like there's not a lot

597
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: of room. We had to put up to two shelves,

598
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: and as soon as we put those two shelves up,

599
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: they were already full, and it was like, we need

600
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: to put more up, and if we even put up

601
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: another two shelves, we'd still probably still be really full.

602
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: They've all just kind of like ended up down on

603
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: the coffee table and we need to find we need

604
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: to find somewhere to put them all. Because we had

605
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: this little running thing for a while, it was like

606
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: every COMP that we went to, we at least brought

607
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: one but a hard way home from something. It might

608
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: have been Cca, it might have been in Zba, it

609
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: might have been you know whatever. But yeah, there was

610
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: not Yeah, almost our whole first year, there was not

611
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: one COMP that we didn't bring something home from. And

612
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: I think that that's the addicting part, isn't it, Like

613
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: you really just want to bring that one trophy home.

614
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, it's a really hard one

615
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: to answer, because yeah, there has been our case. Most

616
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: of the time, it's at least bringing one home, even

617
