And 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.280 you know, we don't like guff in the feed here, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.320 so we don't do this willy nilly. 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.840 This is extremely rare, super rare, and we only reserve 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.520 this for the utmost important people, the. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.160 Highest of honors. It has become somewhat of an obsession 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.520 in the podcast and on the radio show, The Thought 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.280 of Mingle Spice. It's a spice I've used regularly for 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.120 many years. I got stick for it at the start. 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.360 But now everyone's on board. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.160 Everyone's on board, and. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.360 We are delighted after many back and forth emails to 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.920 announce that we are joined by the founder of Mingle Spice, 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:25.520 Jordan Mingle. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:30.040 Hello, Hello guys, I see you are all time minglings. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.920 We are massive ming boys. Now we've been calling you 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.320 Jordan Mingle. That's not your name, is it. 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.360 My first name is Jordan and my surname is Evans. 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.119 I guess right, Jordan the. 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.880 Spice girl, Jordan the spice girl. I mean, first question, 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.920 where did the name mingle come from? 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.040 I actually just got it out of the dictionary. I 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.840 wish I had a better answer for that, but I 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.720 just wanted something that was short, punchy, and I guess, yeah, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.360 mingle has and it's even become I guess, yeah, a verb, 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.120 a noun. Customers identify themselves as minglers. So yeah, it 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.880 kind of just it happens, and it kind of blows 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:10.680 me away in. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.440 You know, my thought is when you mingle your you know, 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.359 talking and associating with other people. Is that the definition 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.160 in the dictionary that that's not mingle means to get 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.000 amongst people? 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.960 Yeah, And then I guess, like obviously I started with seasoning, 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.840 so you know, the spices mingled together. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.720 Yes, yeah, I see. 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.880 So yeah, there's a lot of different meanings. But I 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.320 do also think food is you know, universal and brings 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:38.400 us all together. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.280 Well to mingle. It certainly has, especially in our podcast community. 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:45.079 Lean mentioned that he was the first person to use 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.440 the products. He brought it to the podcast attention. And 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.760 then we have on Facebook, we have like a private 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.240 Facebook group called Ben Lamb's Pod Squad. And in that 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.919 community group, people just started randomly posting their purchases of 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:01.280 Mingle spice. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.760 And it's such a you know, it's obviously the packaging 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.480 is and because I and as I said, I copped 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.080 stick Jordan, because everyone's like, oh, that must be a 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.120 fancy spice, and like, are you being paid by them? 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.120 Because I kept saying no hidden nasties, And I've really 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.520 been I've been bitten by the mingle bug. Now my 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.400 wife got onto it, and I mean we, I mean 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.919 we mix it up at dinner, I suppose, but very 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.560 much midweek bog standard do the meal prep. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:24.120 On the weekend. 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.440 It's just like chicken and like broccoli and beans or whatever. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.120 And but like the spice is what changes. So it's 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.000 just chicken breasts and you know, I'm partial to the 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.320 butt chicken, the tark. I've mixed it up a little, 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.480 you know once, I quite recently. You've obviously got the 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:40.640 blue one, which is like the. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:41.280 Sort of Greek one. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.440 I think it's more for the land. Yeah, but I 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.040 did that on the chicken just to be a little 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.000 crazy and delightful. May I add so good? 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.440 I feel like, to be honest, it still blows me 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.880 away like this. This business started in my kitchen eleven 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.320 years ago and it has grown really from the power 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.200 of you know, people like you Liam, like you know, 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.960 naturally endorsing it. And it's kind of just like it's 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.680 grown bigger than I ever anticipated. So thank you. I 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.000 really appreciate it. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.120 One thing I do love as well, Jordan. One thing. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.160 The thing that got me was we got center Mingle 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.719 care package and on the inside of the care package 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.080 was kind of the story of how Mingle came to be. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.160 And I honestly do love that you identified there was 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.760 a hole in the market where you wanted to do 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.760 a spice brand that, let's be frank, it wasn't filled 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.000 with crap. You wanted to do something that wasn't filled 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.279 with a bunch of fillers and just all around bad ingredients. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.760 Can you for the people that missed us reading word 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.799 for word the bye or the inside of the box, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.520 can you just tell us how the brand came to be? 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:47.600 Yeah? 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.880 Sure, So I was meal prepping. On a Sunday afternoon, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.600 went to my pantry, and I don't know that particular day, 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.880 I decided to clean out my pantry and I was 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.120 twenty five at the time, and I think I never 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.440 really thought about what was truly in I guess my 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.200 pantry staples, so you know, my tomato sauce, my barbecue sauce, 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.320 my spice blends. And when I turned the bottles around, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.120 I started to see, you know, I'm not sure if 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.800 you know, but the order of ingredients on the back 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.400 of the label are in order of prevalence, So the 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.359 first ingredient is the most prevalent ingredient, and I started 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.440 to see sugar a lot as the first ingredient. And 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.240 I also started to see a range of different yeah additives, preservatives, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:38.000 different flowers, and high sodium as well. So it kind 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.599 of a light bulb went off and I was like, 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.520 hang on a second, are all of these ingredients necessary? 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.279 So I went down to the supermarket to try and find, 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.240 I guess, a cleaner ingredient list, and I couldn't find one. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.200 And a lot of these math market brands has been 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.479 around for you know, fifty plus years, and no one 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.200 has really challenged or set a new benchmark. And at 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:02.880 the age of twenty five, I was like, you know 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.200 what I'm gonna I'm going to be that one. So 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.320 quit my job. I moved back home, which was very humbling. Yeah, 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.719 I bet yeah, and just sold my car and invested 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:19.560 forty five thousand dollars into starting mingle. Woah, my life savings. 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.200 I love these stories though, and like too often, like 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.400 you're obviously quite a young person, but you hear these things. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.279 It's like, yeah, in the eighties, I did this and 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.280 I did that. But I kind of love how you're 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.880 like young Australian woman who who you know? You put 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.320 your money where your mouth wasn't like you actually saw 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.120 the whole yourself to punt on yourself. Yeah, which is 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.520 which is awesome to see. He said, you quit your job? 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.320 What were you doing for work? So? 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.640 I previously was working for a natural drinks company called 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.880 Kafie Sparkling. I'm not sure if you guys have had 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.839 had one of those drinks. It was. It was kind 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.800 of a they were trying to pave the way in 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.400 drinks with I guess like up against you know, sweats 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.000 coke and offering a better for you offering. So yeah, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.119 I guess I could see what was happening in supermarkets 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.040 and I could see consumers we're also looking for better 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:07.880 for you are Well. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.640 It's funny you say that because it does kind of 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.440 feel like your boat stock at the right time, because 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.800 probably eleven years ago people like yeah whatever, And now, 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.880 more than ever, I think the masses are probably a 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.080 little bit more aware of you know that just because 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.560 it's a big brand that you know and trust from 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.480 a shop exenter that you know and trust is like 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.440 might not necessarily have your best interest at heart. So 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.840 it's sort of like, yeah, it feels like you got 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:38.200 in at the right time. So what so I mean, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.840 obviously this starts, you know, forty five grand, like I'm 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.480 imagining you're just you're mixing up the spices, packaging the 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.960 boxes yourself. How does it get through? Like the stage 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.640 it is now where we can walk into the shops 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.560 and it's like bang, there it is. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.160 Yes, I would love to say that it happened overnight, 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.960 but really this has been eleven years of grinding, you know. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.200 Now it's you know, I have thirty products in Coals 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.560 and Wulworth, But I really I started with pitching to 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.840 coals and Woolies. I got no many of times, and 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.200 I had to go back and continue to pitch. And 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.880 then I started with five coal stores and five wooly 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.760 stores that I had to drive around on weekends in 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.120 my van and delivered directly to those stores. Yeah, and 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.800 really just championed the brand myself initially, and then yeah, 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.640 people kind of started to see, I guess, a new 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.400 player in the in that aisle. And slowly but surely, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.720 from five stores, then I went to ten stores, and 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.280 then yeah, kind of proved that Ningle could disrupt these 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.360 big brands. And I certainly do not have you know, 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.480 the marketing dollars or you know, these are billion dollar brands. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.800 I had to get creative with some social media and yeah, 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.840 I just had to also, you know, rely on people. Also, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.640 the power of word of mouth has been so powerful 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:05.520 with Mingle, and slowly but surely, over you know, multiple years, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.520 with a lot of hard work and sacrifice, like, eventually 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.520 it's gotten to this place where, yeah, where we're now 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.199 stacking up against those big breads. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.560 Case in point, you've naw got our whole podcast doing 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.280 an exclusive episode about it. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.520 For like, genuinely can we just say as well, no 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:27.880 money has changed hand. No, we fans of spice, and 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.040 also it's been cool from you guys to obviously send 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:33.959 out some product. We had a little little party of 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.480 podcast party. We chucked out a bunch of mingle. 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.640 There was handfuls of spice being thrown around. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.760 This is true. But now there is a discout code 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.360 that you've given us fifteen percent off for podcast listeners 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.400 Codeina Baio, I don't know if you know the code, Jordan, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.240 I don't know if you've made privy to that. It's 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.000 ming me Boys twenty six, So yeah, I know. Obviously 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.120 the mingle branding isn't in there. We just thought people 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.360 don't have a lot of time if they had to 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.320 do it on their phone quick. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:09:59.920 Like our brand meets your brand. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.520 Yeah, And I don't know if that's possible. I would 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.439 love to see how much Spice gets moved in the 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.240 back end. I don't know if that's possible. If we can, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.880 you know, in like a in like a month, we're like, hey, 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:16.640 the podcast we've moved, We've we've all moved this much spice. Yeah, 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.679 so we can see our KPI is essentially yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.440 No thanks guys like I'm still on the social so 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.960 I started to see the comments even on our social 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.280 media posts are being like Ben and Liam mentioned you guys, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.400 and and then like I had to ask my team 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.079 like you Ben and Liam and then you know, obviously 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.640 connected the dots and yeah, you guys are bloody hilarious, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.040 amazing legends. And yes, thank you again for endorsing the 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.040 product organically. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.520 It is honestly our pleasure. Jordan. You don't have to 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.360 reveal any any company secrets here, but I was wondering 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.680 on the R and D front, have you got anything 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.160 coming to the Mingle range? 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.080 We do have quite a lot. We launched about forty 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:01.240 products in a year. Have you have you guys tried 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.200 our new avocado oil? 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.559 Mayo tried that Bell was asking about a quack spice, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.040 so that I mean that's producer Bell's vegan, so that 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.360 that could be could be the move. I know she's 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.280 she's a fan of avocados, but that that's that seems 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.160 like the one to try. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.160 They yeah, they're they're bloody awesome. And then have you 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.840 tried out Japanese barbecue sauce that has yeah. 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.880 Yeah, no, yeah, I've had that that's a ripper. That's 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.360 like the is it like the or no mabe, I've 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.440 had the Japanese dressing. It's like a user sort of dressing. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:33.200 Or that's different. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:34.600 That's a different one. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:35.439 Sorry. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.959 Ye, my team had a good reference for this Japanese barbecue. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.720 It's like barbecue sauce had a baby with Keriarchy sauce. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.079 Oh yeah, speaking my. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.599 Language, that's like dark blue sauce package. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.720 Out of interest do you? I mean like when you 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.960 talk about nasties, it's the thing that tastes so sick. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.400 But it's like, I'm pretty sure it's like the worst 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.760 possible sauce ever. QP Mayo it's just full of like 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.600 so much crap. But is there is there a mingle 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.800 alternative to the QP? Could you could you somehow create 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.920 the same taste without all the junk? 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.800 Yeah, so we actually that's what we just dropped with 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:17.439 the mayo range. We do have, Yeah, the Japanese style mayo, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.160 which it does taste like that other brand that you 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.640 just mentioned. They're not in Colson and Wooley's at the moment, 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.160 but you can grab them online. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.400 Have you ever had any spices where you were like, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.200 it's you know, it's just gone dud. Like you're like, 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.720 it's bub you foot, you went a little too experimental 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.640 and its just no one border or it just tasted 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.640 not quite right. Have you ever released something that you're like, oh, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.800 we just probably shouldn't have put that one out. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.079 Not yet, but I would say right now, I am 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.920 revealing a bit of a secret. We're struggling with Apricott chicken. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:58.480 Apricot chicken is a very nostalgic meal, and you know, 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.920 we're actually just about to launch like cut some curried sausages, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.280 chicken alfredo, some like really old school classic Yeah. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.440 Yeah, yeah, I know there's probably different markets that you 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.920 need to appeal to, and maybe there's a certain older 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.760 end of the audience. But sometimes my wife and I 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:18.319 joke about this, But for me, I like chicken. I 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.880 like no, I like chicken, and I like apricot, but 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.439 it's kind of scarring when they're put together because it 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.600 feels like mum's angry meal. Maybe so I'm like, like, 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.920 I love all your spices. I wouldn't be reaching for 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:30.839 the Apricot chicken. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:31.480 That's just me. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.120 But maybe maybe maybe some people are like I long 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.040 for my mum's Apricott chicken from from the nineties or whatever. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.440 Well, I almost feel like I have a responsibility to 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.160 bring back some meals, Like so many of our customers 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.599 are like, oh, I have PTSD from Apricot chicken or 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.760 curried sausages or this or that, and I'm like, I 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.760 feel like we could do it around, it could make it. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.600 Yeah, yeah, but. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.480 I guess the sweetness of Apricot chicken. Yeah, we're just 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.400 kind of struggling a little bit with that formulation. So 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.680 that's probably the one that we're up against. And I 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.040 guess because we're doing better for you products, I think 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.840 always the challenge is making sure that it still tastes delicious, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.960 because people are not going to one enjoy it, but 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.080 to come back if it's not delicious. And I think 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.800 that's what we're trying to redefine, that healthy products can 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.120 taste bloody good as well. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.960 Yeah. Absolutely. One last question from me Jordans. So in radio, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.920 they do like they do like listening groups where they 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.200 like focus groups, people like sit down, they listen to 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.520 audio that we've done and they all give their feedback. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.720 With spice development, Let's say you're working on a new one. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.480 Let's say AP's got chicken? Do you develop it and 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.080 then someone cooks the meal and then people sit down 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.000 try and give back feedback. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.480 Yes, yep, we do. Like back in the day, to 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.880 be honest, it was just my palette. But yes, we 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.120 now do ratings and then we also test it online 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.640 before we put those products into supermarkets, so we know 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.080 that like each product is a banger or yeah, like 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.880 what you said, you know, we get some reviews and 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.840 then have to refine, you. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.240 Know how there's like some maliairs and stuff for wine. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.760 Obviously you know you've dedicated the last eleven years of 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.600 your life to spice. Do you know your rains well 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.920 enough to be able to dip your tongue into a sash? 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.240 They have spice and tell us what it is. 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.880 My team have actually done that, and I'm I'm pretty good. 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:32.360 I kind of want to. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.560 We might have to test that perhaps if you where 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:36.440 are you based, Jordan? 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.200 We're based in Melbourne, Okay. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.440 Yeah, so we we we're just this time last year 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.200 we moved Adelaide, so we couldn't you know, but hey, 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.000 if we're ever in Melbourne again, we would have to 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.280 We'll have to line up a few bags of Mingle, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:49.760 and you'll have to come around and do it with 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.520 fizz style and see if you can pick.

Yeah, yeah, wow, 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.200 it would be cool. It would be cool to start 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:40.639 your own thing. I've always didn't. 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.520 Yeah, I don't know. I think I makes. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.480 You wonder about, like, yeah, I'd love to start my 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:46.879 own thing one day. I don't know what. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.920 I don't know I was saying that she was working 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.760 with the healthy drinks, and then she identified that spices 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.280 weren't healthy. I wonder what else there is in a 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.080 supermarket it's not healthy? The wee coed'd be like, I 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.080 want to do healthy Jesus or something, you know. And 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:00.439 that's the thing. 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.760 It's kind of like, yeah, as she was saying eleven 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.480 years ago, it was just a new sort of like 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.760 what about this, Yeah, food that's not full of crap? 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.879 But now it's like, yeah, what's the different. It's almost 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.400 like you've got to put more crap in it again? 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:15.800 What if we do like a healthy cereal? 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:22.240 Yeah, that's fun. That has to have a call like 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:27.160 the coco pop. I wouldn't want to eat that, see 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.480 cocoa pops monkey, Yeah, we'd have no all we have 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.880 to get we we we somewhat no cold charmers. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:34.840 We do. 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:36.560 We can get him to be the face of it. 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.000 Had a good chat with him only only just recent. 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:45.600 Perfect swimming through the milk. Yeah, but this one isn't 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.119 full of crap. 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:47.520 It's cocko pops. 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:53.120 And then we could call on our our brand tires ambassador. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.520 Well no he's yeah, so we call Jordan. We say hey, 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:00.480 we've got this new cereal a partner heart. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:05.720 And use your infrastructure under our new company to align 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.040 for a better future for all Australians from breakfast through 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.000 to your spice range. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.480 Yeah, I thought that we would just use Ningle seasoning 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.120 to flavor our cereals, so you get like quack bombs 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.520 and it's like milk cheerio style little bits of puffer 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.680 ice rolled in quark seasoning. 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.080 That would be cool something like that. It'd be cool. 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:31.199 I once again, Jordan's not age like it very much 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.240 feels like this is a call to an Australian startup. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.280 They've done well, they don't have squillions of dollars, but 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.520 it would be cool to somehow invent our own spice. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:43.760 Want a rival Mingle No no. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.000 I meant if there was a spice that all the 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.560 podcast listeners could agree on, it needs to be created. 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.199 Mingle could create it. It doesn't even have to have 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.439 our names on it, but like just knowing, you know, 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.520 potentially you could go through a Coals or a Wallly 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:01.159 and you could imagine that flavor was invented by Imagine 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:06.080
