11th May 2013
Possibly the oddest venue to see a podcast; Location: Church Street McDonald’s on Richmond.
The guests for the afternoon were; Nick Cody (the birthday boy) and Luke McGregor. With special guest Xavier Michelides.
And also Nick Cody’s mum Kerryn.
There were balloons, party bags and of course Ice Cream Cake. I say ‘of course’, as I’ve only been to a very, very small amount of Maccas birthdays very likely less than 5 of them. None that I really remember. I remember nothing of their cakes, but it seems Maccas parties and frozen cake goes together.
So this was a new experience, though seeing a recording of a podcast in a Maccas outdoor/undercover area is going to be a new experience whatever the case.
Considering what went on during the Dum Dum Club shows of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2013 like nipple licking and the like this recording was relatively tame. But then it had to be. It was McDonald’s.
At the end of the show Dassalo did discuss the McDonald’s new chicken burgers, which considering his obsession with Subway’s triple pepper chicken is understandable.
While they were recording the podcast there was no amplification from anyone’s mics. That didn’t seem to be a problem for anyone, possibly McGregor a little bit. Dassalo especially seemed to be able to throw his voice quite well around the space and seemed louder than everyone without actually sounding like he’d raised his voice.
I don’t remember ever having the Ice Cream Cake previously and having it today...I found it somewhat underwhelming. I’m good to probably wait another 20 years before having it again. But I think it’d be great to go to a repeat recording of the podcast in a Maccas, or indeed any other eating establishment. It’s a pity that Subway don’t really go in for the seating areas or parties as I think Tommy Dassalo would love to do a podcast as a podcast somewhere.
