| 0:09.2 | Got anything good? |
| 0:11.1 | Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. |
| 0:19.1 | All right, so yesterday on the show, I read out, we were talking about small thing, big rage. |
| 0:24.8 | And I had a text and a message from a guy called Tim, who says whenever he goes to get his loaf of bread, you know, they have it, they offer to slice it for you. |
| 0:31.8 | You can have sandwich or toasted. He said, whichever option it is, it's always an uneven number. |
| 0:37.6 | And we were talking about this, and a lot of you said it is. |
| 0:40.2 | And then we actually started to find out about other things that have on uneven, an uneven number like Tim Tams. |
| 0:45.6 | So producer Tina did some field reporting yesterday and went to a very well-known supermarket |
| 0:51.3 | and did some investigative journalism. |
| 0:57.1 | I did. I did. |
| 0:58.1 | I found out that the mint slices are 13. |
| 1:03.2 | Why? |
| 1:03.9 | I do not know. |
| 1:05.7 | You're telling you why, because a lot of people are saying conspiracy theory is they're uneven, so you buy more. |
| 1:11.3 | Wild. The shapes multi-packs. You know where you get little slavis? 15. How did you know that, though? You're not sort of burrowing into them or something or breaking a hole. You're not one of those supermarket weirdos. Burrowing. Burrow it like a little animal. Don't call Tina a wombat. No, just... All just... All right? I'm not saying Tina's a Womba. You're barely done second week before you start giving team members nicknames. I knew he was looking down as Sydney and Yos as team. I love Wombat. I saw like five dead ones on the way here from Sydney, which is a bit of a shame. You know, he's killing them. You. The wombat killer. No, I love wombat. So, aren't it shapes an uneven amount? Yeah, 15 for some reason. I was touching the mint slices and looking to... Now, listen, you've been warned about that. They've got a photo of you up there, wombat, behind the counter. Do you not let this touch you back in? I do get a few weird looks. The Kit Kat blocks, they're coming a row of nine. You're kidding again. It's the uneven numbers. So bizarre. The little one's four, but the big block, nine. Now, when you mean the little ones, you mean what, the two barth? The little, you know, the little, yeah, the little tiny ones. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. All right, good reporting. Thank you very much. Christian, I got this message after the show yet. Oh, bloody hell, midnight. Gosh. Well, it really created a talking point. Someone couldn't sleep. Tussing turning. Oh, my God. I'm going to have to get my phone right now. Christian, as someone who's work at Baker's Delight for many years, maybe they're baking overnight. Oh, true. Yeah. Making all the good stuff. I thought I'd put yesterday's discussion re how many slices to a loaf to the test and counted a few of the loaves |
| 2:51.5 | I sliced yesterday. Our most popular loaf, the high fiber white loaf, has 18 slices |
| 2:57.7 | for toast. Good on you. That is great. 20 for sandwich. Oh my god. Oh my god. Yes. A continental |
| 3:06.3 | pasta jura loaf has 22 for toast, a Vienna, 25 for sandwich. |
| 3:14.3 | And Christian, do not feel silly about holding up your thumb and forefinger to show how wide you'd like your slice. |
| 3:21.8 | That's right. Everyone does this, including us, as we try to explain to |
| 3:26.4 | the customer, how wide it's going to be. Vicki, thank you for your midnight message. I feel seen |
