| 0:00.0 | My name's Poppy Hillstead. I'm wearing a bloody brain scanner and guests have 40 minutes |
| 0:11.2 | to convince me to be into whatever kink, passion or obsession that they're into. If they manage to |
| 0:17.7 | pique my brain waves, then I'm officially into it. |
| 0:22.6 | You know, whether I like it or not. |
| 0:29.1 | This week I'm joined by truly excellent chef, comedian and viral snack hacker, George Egg. |
| 0:31.4 | Let's bloody get on with it. |
| 0:32.4 | My name's George Egg. |
| 0:36.8 | And I am a stand-up comedian who cooks on stage. |
| 0:37.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:44.9 | And since lockdown, I've also started creating a lot of online content called The Snack Hacker, |
| 0:49.5 | where I interfere with, which sounds dodgy, doesn't it? |
| 0:50.2 | Yeah, it does, yeah. |
| 0:52.4 | But I probably buy it say it. |
| 0:53.2 | Fiddle with. Yes, I mess around with existing food, fast food items. |

| 1:03.1 | And then make them a bit more interesting and gourmet. |
| 1:06.5 | And then talk about it and have a little bit of a chuckle on screen about it. That's good. So that's my thing. That is, that's very good. I mean, I'm going to be straight up with you. Like, you don't have to convince me to be into food. But I don't think I'm that into food. I'm going to be. I don't think you are because in the exchanges that we've had prior to this record, this record, guys, you've just given me a big list of kind of what I suppose are quite normal things that you say you really, I'm not just don't like, but like a repel, repel you? Repulse you. |
| 1:45.8 | I mean, I, I think I kind of need a sick bucket. I actually didn't say one thing that I really |
| 1:52.4 | didn't like. Yes, you did. Did I? You said tomato ketchup. Oh, I did. Did you bring? Yeah. Well, I did, |
| 1:58.0 | I bought a sachet of ketchup. I'm just intrigued what you don't like about. I'm |
| 2:02.1 | worried that I'm going to turn this into me interviewing you, but what don't you like about ketchup? Okay. I mean, I'm not particularly keen on it. And in fact, when I was a child, my dad, I've got a real strong memory. My dad, all with, like, if we had like a full English breakfast, being very, it doesn't need ketchup. |
| 2:16.8 | There's enough going on there. |
