Summary

In this week’s Flightless Bird, Rosabel muses on the fallout from her episode a few weeks ago, before David and Rob set off for Hooters - absolutely terrified to their core that they will be cancelled in the process by saying the wrong thing or looking in the wrong direction. They hear from a variety of former “Hooters Girls” (their term, not ours) over the last few decades, before talking to current Hooter ambassador Averey Tressler (who eagle eyed listeners may recognise from another All-American institution, The Challenge).

0:00.0	Oh, hi.
0:06.8	Hi, Rosabel.
0:07.6	Have you forgot how a phone works?
0:10.6	I was having some trouble answering the phone.
0:14.5	It's okay.
0:15.1	You're here now.
0:16.2	How are you?
0:17.1	I'm good.
0:17.6	It's been a few weeks since the Rosabel episode of Flight This Bird. How did you find that
0:22.5	experience? Well, it was interesting because we haven't really spoken. It's almost like we were
0:28.0	having a fight. What do you think about that? I think we haven't actually spoken since it went to
0:33.4	air, which is so strange, actually. I think life is just, look, America is coming at me fast.
0:38.5	It's been pretty, it's been pretty crazy over here. And so it's less of us having a fight and more
0:44.1	me just being overwhelmed by the United States. Okay. So, the world's just crazy. That's why
0:52.8	we haven't spoken. Do you want to know some gossip though, some real gossip? Yes. Hayden hasn't talked to me since the episode went to air. Is that real? And I'm wondering if he's feeling a little bit left out. Well, no, because he had the opportunity to do it. You're right. He chose to be on holiday. You're right. Peeling back the layers,
1:12.9	that was going to be the Roosevelt and Hayden episode, but he left. You know, peeling back the
1:19.2	layers even more, I was going to get him to be the one to crack that egg because I was so scared.
1:25.6	And, you know, he wouldn't blink an eye.
1:27.9	No, he wouldn't.
1:28.6	He'd crack tan eggs on my head, probably.
1:30.8	So in many ways, this has all worked out for the best.
1:34.2	Now, today's episode is about Hooters, the famous American restaurant chain.
