Alex Hourigan
Hi chicks, I'm Al.
Sally McMullen
And I'm Sal.
Jack Millar
And I'm Jack!
Alex Hourigan
And this is Three Broke Chicks for this week, because today we normally do Fact or Cap with just Sal and I, and we do Add to Cart when we have a guest. However, we now have a new co-host for the week, so we're doing Fact or Cap. This was decided today because we're just having the best time and we didn't want Jack to leave.
Jack Millar
Honestly, I was so heartwarmed that I love you guys as much as you love me.
Alex Hourigan
Aw! Stop it. Blushing!
Sally McMullen
Literally, I'm going red.
Jack Millar
I know. These two are blushing, I'm crying. There's lot going on.
Alex Hourigan
There's a lot of emotion. Fact or Cap is when we either test like a viral challenge or discuss a topic that has multiple opinions on it and decide whether or not something is a fact, which is like a voibe, or a cap which is not a voibe.
Sally McMullen
It's shit or legit.
Alex Hourigan
Shit or legit, that's our new tagline for it. Even though we're not allowed to swear on this podcast.
Sally McMullen
We can say "shit", we just can't say, **** or ****.
Jack Millar
I feel like you've said just both right then?
Alex Hourigan
It's funny, it's a vibe.
Jack Millar
You can say "beep" or "beep".
Alex Hourigan
Today we are arguing. Arguing? Today we are debating, discussing,
Jack Millar
Sternly discussing.
Alex Hourigan
Having multiple emotions about the superior form of potato.
Jack Millar
How about even more so, just the superiority of potatoes?
Alex Hourigan
That doesn't even need to be challenged.
Sally McMullen
There's no argument there.
Alex Hourigan
If you don't like potatoes, turn this off.
Jack Millar
Because I'll tell you what, anyone that doesn't like a superior potato?
Alex Hourigan
A superior potato.
Jack Millar
Psychopath.
Alex Hourigan
Psychopath.
Sally McMullen
Right? That is a red flag.
Alex Hourigan
That's an ick!
Jack Millar
That's an ick! I got my ick!
Alex Hourigan
Jack couldn't decide what his ick was because we like, "It's going to be something really noble", as in like, "they're like mean to waitstaff", or something which is still an ick. But we're like, "It's gonna be something really nice", so you were like, "I'm gonna find something silly", which you couldn't.
Jack Millar
No, I couldn't think of anything silly.
Alex Hourigan
And now it's 'they don't like potato'.
You're learning so much about yourself on the show.
I know I'm really proud of you.
Jack Millar
Not only am I learning about you guys, but I'm just sitting here all heartwarmed and learning about myself.
Sally McMullen
Gross.
Alex Hourigan
Stop it!
Jack Millar
Gross?
Alex Hourigan
Have you realised we can't take compliments?
Jack Millar
You're like two little, like what do they call it, schoolgirls? Aw, stop it, I'm blushing.
Alex Hourigan
Potatoes.
Jack Millar
Potatoes.
Alex Hourigan
Yeah. I feel like we need to narrow it down to five types of potato.
Sally McMullen
Okay, a top five.
Jack Millar
What is the bottom of your top five?
Sally McMullen
Maybe like a baked potato?
Jack Millar
Yeah.
Sally McMullen
Like I'll f*ck with a baked potato and some gravy.
Jack Millar
There is a lot of lot of variations to baked potato though. Like a really well baked potato?
Alex Hourigan
Jacket potatoes?
Jack Millar
What's a jacket potato.
Sally McMullen
No.
Alex Hourigan
Yes!
Sally McMullen
No, I love a jacket potato but that's not what I'm talking about.
Alex Hourigan
That's a baked potato to me.
Sally McMullen
I'm talking like in like a roast dinner.
Alex Hourigan
How do you not know what a jacket potato is? Hold on.
Sally McMullen
Like when you have a baked dinner.
Jack Millar
Does it wear like a funny little coat like? a
Alex Hourigan
No, so it's in foil, and then you cut it open then you put like, sour cream in it and chives.
Sally McMullen
Or you can do like a Mexican one, which you would love.
Jack Millar
Are you guys going to cook me jacket potatoes?
Alex Hourigan
Oh my god, let's go home after this and make jacket potatoes.
Sally McMullen
That's it.
Alex Hourigan
Legit, so what you do is you like boil the potato and then you bake it in the foil in the oven. Then you take it out and you cut it open, you unwrap it.
Jack Millar
I don't like this.
Alex Hourigan
You don't even know!
Jack Millar
No, no, I don't like this.
Alex Hourigan
You haven't even tried this!
Jack Millar
I already know why I don't like this. I already know why I don't like this.
Sally McMullen
Why? Tell us.
Jack Millar
It doesn't have the crispy skin. Because if it is wrapped.
Alex Hourigan
But it has sour cream!
Jack Millar
Doesn't, you can put sour cream on a boiled potato!
Alex Hourigan
No, but it's only on a jacket potato!
Jack Millar
No! Because literally you've done nothing but like put a, well I guess we're talking about it, you put a jacket on a potato. And then given it a funky name, and then all of a sudden it's the most amazing thing in the world.
Alex Hourigan
You know what? I don't want Jack on the podcast anymore.
Jack Millar
No, no, no, bottom of the list.
Alex Hourigan
Bottom of the list?!
Jack Millar
Bottom of the list.
Alex Hourigan
What about a boiled potato!
Jack Millar
Just above a boiled potato.
Sally McMullen
Oh, shit.
Alex Hourigan
Not the bottom of the list then, is it?
Jack Millar
Well, second bottom of the list?
Alex Hourigan
Okay, well.
Jack Millar
Do you look at the bottom 10? And then it's just all like, well, no one really knows what those 10 are.
Alex Hourigan
What? Sally knew what a jacket potato was!
Sally McMullen
Second page of Google.
Alex Hourigan
My mum's gonna show up to your door and bring you like a full platter of jacket potatoes and be like, "Do you wanna eat them?". And you're gonna be like, "Do you know what? These are lovely".
Jack Millar
Fair enough.
Sally McMullen
Okay, number four. Al?
Alex Hourigan
Oh, my bottom is wedges.
Sally McMullen
Oh, controversial!
Alex Hourigan
My number five is wedges. Wedges suck. Wedges suck.
Jack Millar
This is I think a really important time where I interject and say that wedges are the top of my list.
Alex Hourigan
No, no! Wedges are the worst form of potato there's too much. There's too, there's too much because I can't double dip. I think that's what my issue with wedges is.
Jack Millar
Why can't you double dip?
Alex Hourigan
Because they're too big and then you're always sharing them with someone else. And then you can't put it in the cream cheese and the sweet chilli sauce. And also they just suck!
Sally McMullen
But to double dip, the correct way is you hold it from the middle,
Alex Hourigan
and then you turn it around. And then I did that once and someone was like, "Ew, your fingers touched the other end".
Sally McMullen
Oh my god.
Jack Millar
But you just hold it in the middle?
Sally McMullen
Yeah, exactly.
Alex Hourigan
But they still, I still don't like them.
Sally McMullen
Cancel that friend. Okay. What's your next one?
Alex Hourigan
I like a baked potato.
Jack Millar
Crispy or soft?
Alex Hourigan
Crispy!
Sally McMullen
Crispy always.
Alex Hourigan
And some hot English mustard?
Jack Millar
Now we are back on the right track, here.
Sally McMullen
Or some gravy.
Jack Millar
Gravy on a potato? I haven't had that in a very long time but I'm listening.
Alex Hourigan
Actually, can I change my answer? Potato and, potato soup. Is it potato and leek soup? I like it, but it's not the superior potato.
Have you ever cooked it? I don't think I've ever done that for myself.
Sally McMullen
It's tricky to cook because you have to like blend it, you know, but it's bloody good.
Jack Millar
My roommate used to do a really nice one and I would definitely jump in and be like, "This is really nice. I'm enjoying this, I'll have seconds and thirds". But I've never actually fully jumped in that for myself.
Sally McMullen
Do you know what else is good? A potato and cauliflower soup. It's so good.
Jack Millar
Same thing? You whiz it all up?
Sally McMullen
You add like some curry powder. Like oh my god.
Jack Millar
Oh yeah. Okay, that's a very very good point.
Sally McMullen
All about seasoning.
Jack Millar
Seasonings now. And I just want to point out that potatoes are the most versatile of foods.
Alex Hourigan
Is that like a scientific fact?
Jack Millar
That is, I have just scientifically fact-ed it. Tell me something that you could not have with potato, right now. Not have.
Alex Hourigan
Watermelon.
Jack Millar
I don't see why not
Alex Hourigan
Fair.
Sally McMullen
It's such an inoffensive flavour. That there's probably nothing that it doesn't go with.
Jack Millar
But also so perfect?
Sally McMullen
Exactly.
Alex Hourigan
I have a really good second.
Sally McMullen
Okay
Alex Hourigan
But we're on the third. Wait, you guys didn't say your fourth?
Jack Millar
I don't know. We're all just kind of groups.
Sally McMullen
Yeah, we're just throwing it out there until we get to number one.
Alex Hourigan
Alright, third for me, would be chips, just the standard chip. But the top tier chip,
Jack Millar
Shoestring or chunky cut?
Alex Hourigan
Oh, chunky cut.
Jack Millar
So that's number three? Got it.
Alex Hourigan
Chunky cut.
Sally McMullen
It's gotta be like,
Jack Millar
Are we talking, God, they're so versatile! Pub style chunky cut, like beer battered, or,
Alex Hourigan
KFC. KFC chip.
Jack Millar
KFC, Number three, fine with it.
Sally McMullen
I'm talking like old school fish and chip shop, where you can see the chicken salt. Like it is 3D.
Jack Millar
And they go like. It's what Ahh McCain tries to do but doesn't quite get there.
Sally McMullen
Exactly.
Alex Hourigan
But you've done it again.
Jack Millar
Well, they've never done it.
Alex Hourigan
Ahh McCain, you've never done it.
Sally McMullen
Almost.
Alex Hourigan
Nearly there.
Sally McMullen
Yeah, close but no cigar.
Alex Hourigan
I think KFC chips are the most like, unanimously.
Jack Millar
Again, I want to punch down this crispy role that chips need to have, and I will say that they are a soft third. Not a hard third. Because they are the soft chip.
Alex Hourigan
Are you a crunchy chip or a soft chip?
Jack Millar
Well, I think I've made that abundantly clear, I'm a crunchy boy.
Alex Hourigan
I'm a soft chip gal.
Jack Millar
You like them floppy?
Alex Hourigan
I like them floppy with the gravy.
Sally McMullen
Nah, I need a little bite.
Jack Millar
Potato gravy?
Alex Hourigan
Oh, yeah.
Jack Millar
I do like the idea that you can dip potatoes in potato and it still tastes awesome.
Sally McMullen
Oh, yeah. See?
Alex Hourigan
How f*cked is that that we put potato with potato together with gravy.
Jack Millar
Have you had enough carbs with this potato? No. More potato please.
Alex Hourigan
Okay, second, Ge-nochi.
Sally McMullen
Ah yes, Ge-nochi.
Jack Millar
Ahh, g-nochi.
Sally McMullen
Wow, that would not be,
Alex Hourigan
Right?
Jack Millar
otherwise known as gnocchi for my Italian listeners.
Alex Hourigan
Yeah, gnocchi. I feel like it's an underrated form of potato.
Jack Millar
I don't think it's underrated at all.
Alex Hourigan
But people don't immediately think of it when they think of potato.
Jack Millar
When they think of potato. Yeah.
Sally McMullen
Different league, almost.
Jack Millar
Oh, tell you what we didn't deep dive? Chips.
Sally McMullen
I feel like that would be my third.
Jack Millar
Yeah.
Sally McMullen
Is a packet of chips.
I reckon.
Alex Hourigan
Oh! Chip chips!
Jack Millar
Yeah, chip chips.
Sally McMullen
Like a salt and vinegar crinkle cut.
Alex Hourigan
Yeah. That's a whole different episode!
Sally McMullen
I know! That would be my third.
Jack Millar
Do you guys call them chips or crisps?
Alex Hourigan
Chips.
Sally McMullen
We're not in the UK.
Jack Millar
Okay, thank you so much! I had this argument with my roommate the other day who drilled down that they were called crisps.
Sally McMullen
Are they from the UK?
Jack Millar
No!
Alex Hourigan
So they're just stupid.
Jack Millar
Sebastian, if you're listening. I'm so sorry.
Alex Hourigan
Soz Seb!
Jack Millar
But seriously, get your bloody facts straight. You live in Australia, it's called chips. Thank you.
Sally McMullen
I said what I said.
Alex Hourigan
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, like sour cream and chilli chips.
Jack Millar
The Red Rock Deli ones?
Alex Hourigan
Oh, yeah. The big honcho, the numero uno, which I will not take a single debate on this.
Jack Millar
I will debate with you right now.
Alex Hourigan
Jack.
Sally McMullen
No.
Alex Hourigan
I know Sal's with me on this.
Sally McMullen
Yeah, we're a united front.
Alex Hourigan
You're only just joining the crew right now so you'd be careful because your contract has, you're not through your probation,
Sally McMullen
You're of your probation period.
Alex Hourigan
Young man.
Jack Millar
Yeah, well done. She knows how contracts work. Haven't done anything yet, but carry on.
Alex Hourigan
The number one form of potato is the mash potato. I will not hear a single other opinion about it because you give me a bit of a mashed potato with some butter in it. And like the skin still on it so you get the flavour, that texture and a pepper gravy, and I'm done. That's me done for the night. I will order, on multiple nights out, just a bowl of mash potato.
Sally McMullen
That's when I know it's on. When Al is ordering a mash potato.
Jack Millar
No no, no no no no.
Sally McMullen
Is mash potato even in your top five at all?
Jack Millar
It would be five.
Alex Hourigan
But you! No, you said jacket potato was five, you said boiled potato was five.
Jack Millar
No, jacket potato isn't even on the list, girl. Jacket potatoes don't exist!
Alex Hourigan
How many number fives do you have?
Jack Millar
Mashed potato falls at the bottom of my five.
Alex Hourigan
I f*cking hate that.
Jack Millar
Cuz if it's not crispy, it is not top of my list.
Alex Hourigan
Okay, gnocchi's not crispy.
Jack Millar
Yeah, I know, but gnocchi is Italian deliciousness. Don't you ever say a bad thing about gnocchi, ever.
Sally McMullen
When you add texture to mashed potato whether or not it is peas, potato skin or onion? Now we're talking.
Jack Millar
Should we talk about my left field one that I brought up earlier today?
Sally McMullen
Yes.
Jack Millar
And just because I've only had them once now the most delicious things I've ever had. And they were a deep fried potato skin.
Sally McMullen
Oh my god. Yes. Sorry, that was very vocal. Oh my god. I'm like is TikTok gonna block us again?
Jack Millar
For those people that aren't watching the video, there was an orgasmic face followed by little bit of realisation of where she was. She's hot and flustered now. But no yeah, the crispy skin potato skins. I've had them once, genuinely one of the better potato forms I've ever had.
Sally McMullen
Okay, so final answers mashed potato is number one for us, and for you?
Jack Millar
Crispy potato skins and or crispy wedges.
Alex Hourigan
Okay.
Sally McMullen
Amazing!
Alex Hourigan
You know what? I think none of us are gonna come to an agreement on this, so we can Fact or Cap that potatoes are just the vibe. Potatoes are a vibe. Fact. Fact. Fact.
Sally McMullen
Fact
Jack Millar
Fact. Fact. Fact.
Sally McMullen
Myth busted!
Alex Hourigan
Yeah, everyone's like, "We did not need to listen to this for the next 15 minutes". We're like, "Potatoes".
Sally McMullen
But you know what, let's put it to the listeners.
Alex Hourigan
Yeah!
Sally McMullen
You tell us what is the superior type of potato and let's fight.
Jack Millar
And this is a good one, crispy or floppy chips. I think that's one of the most like, I really want to know.
Alex Hourigan
Floppy is the only way.
Jack Millar
No.
Alex Hourigan
Yes!
Jack Millar
I don't know what kind of fun you're having, but that is not okay.
Alex Hourigan
Well, thank you so much for joining us. We're gonna go out on the streets and fight it out a little bit more. But if you didn't listen to our full life lessons episode from Tuesday with Jack, make sure you go back and listen to that. Because do you know what? There was so much drama that was revealed. Not really.
Jack Millar
Spciy.
Sally McMullen
Behind the scenes MAFS. Never been heard before.
Alex Hourigan
Like oh my god, you never would have heard it. Not even at all, we had a lovely chat.
Sally McMullen
He ranks every other contestant, from jacket potato to mash.
Jack Millar
And I like how we put the mashed potato at the top of the list there and I would not do that. So, once again going back to the potato chat, we're talking number one, crispy potato skins. Thank you, go to bed.
Alex Hourigan
Get out of here! Again, thank you so much for having us in your ear holes, we love to be here. For any show notes, details, all the juicy goss, head to finder.com.au/twobrokechicks. Thank you to our producer Pariya Taherzadeh for just being amazing and dealing with us and Made in Katan for having us in the studes and Bamby Media for editing this episode. We will see you next week, I need to stop saying "See you next Tuesday" because we all know why.

Alex Hourigan

Sally McMullen
Yeah!!
Alex Hourigan
