00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: Oh there we go.

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: It was honestly the best thing.

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: Which signs joined us today.

51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,559
Speaker 1: The best thing I've ever eaten is what they called.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: A burger is a cheeseburger cheese, not anpaer. It was yeah,

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: Le's road can out there.

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was called a deconstructed burgers. When I rolled

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: my eyes at it two when I looked at it

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: came it came out in all separate parts, and I said,

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: just like flat pack, it's the home of ike is

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: out there. So I said, do I put it together

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: back to a burger? He said, you won't be able to.

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: It'll be too tall. You have to eat it in parts.

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: It was honestly the most delicious thing because a burger

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: has got to be together. I had all the bits

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: and had the barn.

64
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: And when you say you're eating pants, do you start

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: with the bat that's not the starter. Then you get

66
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: to the main, the beef patty.

67
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: No no. I tried to get everything in.

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: It just seems that they've been a bit lazy doing

69
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: the old deconstructed. They just can't be bothered to make

70
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: the burger. Here's a steak, there's the pan. You make

71
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: your own state. It's a deconstructive steak.

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: The anchor and I have talked about going back to

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Europe just to go to Trondheim to eat that burger.

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: Now what a great trip it would do, just to

75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: go and have a burger there and then come back

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,360
