TONIGHT? Hello

0:51

and welcome to the Beef and Dairy Network

0:53

podcast, the number one podcast for those

0:55

involved, or just interested, in

0:57

the production of beef animals and dairy

0:59

herds. The Beef and Dairy Network podcast

1:10

Now unless you've been hiding under a rock for the

1:12

past week, the news won't have escaped your attention

1:14

about the CEO of the Beef Marketing

1:16

Board, Gregory Johnston.

1:18

Appointed early last year, this

1:20

week allegations surfaced that he hasn't heard

1:23

of

1:23

beef.

1:25

There is widespread shock that he would be employed

1:27

in this role, having never heard of beef and there

1:29

have been calls for him to be sacked. But

1:32

the wording of his contract means that sacking him

1:34

would cost the Beef Marketing Board over £250

1:36

million. As

1:39

a result of this, there are now ever-growing

1:41

calls for Johnston to do the right thing

1:43

and resign.

1:44

The allegations were made by a whistleblower from

1:47

the Beef Marketing Board who agreed to speak

1:49

to this programme as long as their words were spoken

1:51

by an actor. We employed that actor,

1:54

but then that actor wanted their words to be spoken

1:56

by another actor. That actor then wanted

1:58

their voice to be replaced by an actor's.

1:59

actor, and then that actor also

2:02

wanted to maintain that anonymity by having their words

2:04

delivered by an actor. At which

2:06

point we just gave up. Anyway,

2:09

we're very pleased that on this month's show we have the

2:12

only interview given by Beef

2:14

Marketing Board CEO Gregory Johnston

2:16

since all of this came to light. Hello

2:18

Gregory, thank you so much for coming in to talk to us today.

2:21

I know this is

2:23

something that won't be that easy for

2:25

you.

2:26

Maybe this is your first public

2:28

appearance after all of the opprobium

2:31

and everything that's happened. So

2:34

just thank you really. Thanks for having

2:36

me. And it's a brave

2:38

man who walks into the lion's den like this. Yeah,

2:41

I mean I think it will be... Is it? You

2:44

know, you've been in the beef press all week,

2:46

you know, the head of the Beef Marketing Board's never heard

2:48

of beef. But I don't

2:50

understand why this all matters so much.

2:53

Like the beef sales have

2:55

been up every year. Right, yeah. You

2:57

know, absolutely selling so

2:59

much other stuff. Yeah. So what's

3:01

the... I don't understand the problem. I told you sales

3:03

were up. Does

3:06

it matter what I... Look, there's lots of things I don't know about,

3:09

you know. There's lots of things I know about. I'm

3:12

an expert on the Hot Wheels toy

3:15

cars, for example. That's something

3:17

you do know about. That's something I know about. And I've

3:19

not seen any praise for that.

3:22

Look, I just want to go back... Sorry,

3:24

a very central point here. Have you heard of beef?

3:31

Uh... Hold

3:33

on. What do you mean? Can you rephrase that?

3:37

Sorry, have you heard of beef?

3:40

That's not rephrasing.

3:43

Okay. Do

3:46

you know beef? Do I know beef?

3:49

Um... Who?

3:54

You are the head of the beef marketing board, right? Oh,

3:57

right, yes. Your job is to sell beef. Yes.

4:00

Yeah, so you must have heard of beef by now.

4:02

I've

4:02

heard a lot of things

4:05

You know, I I I I'm

4:07

a I'm a scholar uh

4:09

I've got the complete Encyclopedia

4:12

Britannica

4:14

I know a lot of things i've read it all many times

4:16

covers to covers right? It's quite big. Yeah

4:20

Well in in those books, I mean it's a big

4:22

companion of books, isn't it? Yeah whole shelf full Don't

4:26

be one of those that's labeled be there's no

4:28

I didn't I don't have We

4:30

never had that one right? Yeah, I

4:33

see So is it that you've got this gap in your knowledge

4:35

because your encyclopedia Britannica didn't have severe

4:38

book? I don't think that's why But

4:40

we never had a B in the Britannica

4:43

and have you heard of bark, huh?

4:48

Have you heard of bark fear

4:50

of Belgium

4:55

Is uh I think lots

4:57

of people were listening and thinking okay, this guy doesn't

5:00

he's not heard of beef

5:02

How is that possible? Have you

5:04

have you ever eaten beef? Well, I

5:06

live on a to be in my

5:08

position my kind of work demand.

5:11

You've got to have a very strict diet Right

5:13

and i'm on a strict uh

5:16

only lasagna So

5:19

you only lasagna. Yeah, right which

5:22

of course is a beef meal

5:25

No, that's cheese. You're thinking of that's cheese

5:28

You're mistaken.

5:30

I know i'm not mistaken a lasagna

5:32

is is is is a a

5:34

kind of layered savory cake

5:38

Yeah, it's a cake There are layers

5:41

within it of pasta Of

5:43

cheese as you say a pasta a

5:46

white sauce And

5:48

then beef no No,

5:52

i'm not sure what you're thinking of

5:56

Yeah, it's a cake

5:59

When you are making a lasagna,

6:02

you are making

6:06

a cake. A birthday cake.

6:10

If you put a

6:12

lasagna in front of

6:15

somebody, it is their birthday. Happy

6:18

birthday. Candles

6:23

in cheese.

6:26

Candles in cheese. You

6:32

are 20 years old. You

6:34

eat 20 lasagnas.

6:35

When you

6:37

are 60, you eat 60 lasagnas.

6:41

You

6:54

are too humble, too creative, too

6:57

romantic. What are

7:00

your strengths? That

7:03

was tough because I had already said my strengths

7:07

as weaknesses. Because

7:09

I got it confused. So then I said my weaknesses

7:12

as my strengths. So I said

7:14

I get scared of fire alarms.

7:17

I said I get scared of tap

7:19

turns on suddenly. I said I get scared of kettles

7:22

going off. Then

7:24

there is pause. And

7:27

they said with my honesty. And

7:30

they said so what is your favourite marketing? I

7:33

said hot wheels. I

7:35

said the one that looks like a little Batmobile. It

7:38

is maroon. So

7:40

specifically the maroon

7:42

Batmobile shaped hot wheels car. No, just the car. So

7:46

you are saying that in itself is marketing. You

7:49

get a question in job interviews. This

7:52

is good for any entrepreneur. You

7:56

get a question and then you just take the bit

7:59

of it that you want to answer. answer.

8:01

So they said, what's your favourite marketing?

8:04

I said, the Hot Wheels car that looks like

8:06

a Batmobile. But maroon. Maroon.

8:10

And they just

8:12

took that they were happy with that answer? They

8:15

applauded. There

8:17

was 17 people in their interview. People

8:20

kept coming in. Right. That's the thing,

8:22

because they couldn't believe it. Right.

8:25

Right. They kept coming in and applauding the answers. Wow.

8:28

Can I just say something, which is that from a neutral

8:31

observers perspective, I don't

8:34

know how to put this in a more polite way. I'll be

8:36

as polite as I can. The answers you gave sound

8:38

like total horseshit.

8:42

Well, this is, I

8:44

mean, what's your, what's your like,

8:46

what do you think you could do what I do? Well,

8:51

no, that's that's the point.

8:53

What I'm talking about is how how did you know

8:55

people are talking about you in terms

8:58

of you being a con man? Have you going into

9:00

that interview about lying about your

9:02

your experience about beef? This is what they assume

9:05

because they can't understand how you got the job. They assume

9:07

you must have lied. You're some kind of grifter. You

9:09

did some kind of confidence trick to

9:12

convince these people that you'd heard of beef when you you

9:15

knew full well, you'd never heard of beef. You

9:17

know, they're called miscellinio con man. I'm

9:22

sorry, I don't know. I don't

9:24

know what relevance that has. But also, I don't

9:27

think that that was people's problem with miscellini.

9:29

I just think cancel cultures connect get

9:31

everyone. I think every single person in the world.

9:35

And it won't rest till it has cancelled

9:37

every, every, every person.

9:40

I think that's clear. There must be people out

9:42

there who who don't have anything cancelable,

9:45

share, they'll

9:48

get share.

9:50

Trust me.

10:03

It was such a beautiful day. A bit

10:06

cloudy but that's fine because the men were all

10:08

wearing woolen suits.

10:11

My mother was behaving herself. The

10:14

church was beautiful. When

10:21

he put the ring on my finger

10:23

I was the happiest woman alive.

10:25

Everyone cheered.

10:27

We lost.

10:32

As we went through the artes of the church, people

10:35

started throwing things, obviously

10:38

converting

10:38

race. Piggles, Tim

10:41

leaves, lago and

10:45

strangely from one guy, hot

10:48

gravel. I don't know why he threw

10:50

hot gravel. It

10:52

was really hot. Maybe

10:54

he disapproved of our match, of the

10:56

wedding, of our marriage. Maybe

11:00

he was right.

11:19

We walked towards the car. It was a beautiful car.

11:22

A beautiful black Rolls Royce.

11:26

We sat in the back of his car and

11:28

he looked lovingly into my

11:31

eyes. He held my hand. I

11:33

felt a rumble in my tummy and I told him

11:35

that

11:35

I was really looking forward to

11:38

our reception

11:40

and the hot beef dinner that would

11:42

be awaiting us. I'm

11:45

really looking forward to the beef.

11:50

He just looked bluntly at me. Then

11:55

he uttered the words,

11:58

what is beef?

12:10

And he utters the words again, what

12:13

is beef? And

12:16

at that point I think naturally you just start

12:19

to question everything. My

12:22

mind started racing, I went

12:24

back through years

12:27

of dinners out

12:29

where he never once thought

12:31

of beef.

12:32

How did I not notice? How did I

12:34

notice that he was never ordering beef?

12:37

And on the full holiday we spent on

12:40

the Argentinian Beef Coast. We

12:43

were at the Argentinian Beef Coast and

12:46

he didn't even know what beef was.

12:51

And I didn't notice.

13:06

Let's talk about the figures because you keep pointing to these

13:08

figures. Since you came in and sell the beef

13:10

of Risen, that's what you keep saying. Absolutely.

13:13

It's not true. What do you mean? I've

13:16

got the figures in front of me here. Before

13:19

you took over as head of the Beef Marketing Board, 900

13:22

trillion tonnes of beef was sold every year. Yep.

13:27

It's gone down to four. It's gone

13:29

down to four thousand trillion.

13:32

That's not down, is it? No, it's gone down to

13:34

four. Four sales of beef?

13:36

Four beef.

13:40

Four beef?

13:42

Four beef. That's

13:44

a huge collapse. It works.

13:51

Sorry, I don't feel like Satisfactory got

13:54

an answer about your... Can you tell me about when

13:56

you found out that you'd got the job and how

13:58

you felt and... Were you surprised?

14:01

No, I got a message on LinkedIn the next

14:03

day. They said, so do

14:05

you want it? And I thought, you

14:08

know, Facebook Marketplace, I thought they were talking about a table.

14:11

You thought you'd opened the wrong tab and you were

14:13

on Facebook. Because I wanted a coffee table. Right.

14:17

Yeah. It's a Victorian. Okay.

14:20

Yeah. What,

14:23

someone was advertising when a news said, can I buy

14:25

this from you? Yeah, but they'd mess me around.

14:28

Okay. Right. They and the

14:30

thing and they said no time wasters. Right.

14:34

And then they mess me around. Do you know what I get on

14:36

that? People write things like I need this gone today. And

14:38

I think you're not in charge

14:40

of me. What did you get on

14:42

there? I was looking for a coffee table. Oh.

14:45

Like a fifties kind of mid-century modern,

14:48

I guess is what you'd call it. Yeah. Yeah.

14:51

Like a Formica top. Really

14:54

nice. And I was buying it actually. Well,

15:00

to be perfectly honest with you, my marriage is falling

15:02

apart. I thought

15:06

that might be what it

15:09

needs, like the relationship. Coffee

15:12

table. Yeah. Yeah. We

15:15

never had one. I've been divorced four times and

15:18

I never had it. We never had a coffee table. There

15:20

you are. Yeah. I think that's what

15:23

it is. Yeah. You know

15:24

what you need to do.

15:26

I'm an expert on women. Right.

15:29

You need to get

15:31

her to go with

15:33

you on a boat that is shaped like

15:35

a swan.

15:41

I mean, you've been divorced four times. Yeah.

15:52

Why are

15:54

children now growing so tall? I believe

15:56

my son will be taller

15:58

than you.

15:59

More after this.

16:20

Did you know that if you're an employer who's hiring,

16:22

the average cost per hire is $4,700? And

16:26

if you're

16:28

investing that much money into each new hire,

16:30

you've got to get it right. So

16:34

what's the most effective way to find the best people

try ZipRecruiter for free. That's ziprecruiter.com

17:08

slash beef. So

17:15

anyway, you got the LinkedIn message.

17:19

You mistook it for a message from somebody

17:21

who was selling a Victorian coffee table on Facebook

17:24

Marketplace, who'd been messing you around. So

17:28

they said, you got it if you want

17:30

it, and I said, on my way. And

17:34

then I'm driving down to the house,

17:37

and I'm banging on the guy's door. And

17:40

then that guy's called the police. The

17:43

Facebook Marketplace guy? Yeah. Because

17:45

I'm kicking his door to get my table.

17:48

How much was it going for? £14 for

17:51

an original Victorian coffee table?

17:54

Yeah, but it's like only half of it left.

17:57

Bit of a project then. Yeah, papier-mâché

17:59

the rest. So you're kicking a man's door

18:01

in due to this misunderstanding. And

18:04

that's really down to the fact that the kind of scheme of both

18:06

Facebook and LinkedIn are too similar. It's

18:09

the same thing. Yeah. Right?

18:12

I get it. Yeah. So how did that

18:14

shake out then? The police came. They said, what do you think

18:16

you're doing? I said, don't get involved

18:19

in Facebook marketplace. I said,

18:21

you're all scum anyway. They

18:24

tried to pay for me. Sorry? You

18:26

said the police were scum. I said that to them at the

18:28

time, but I should scone record.

18:30

That is not something I agree with. I

18:33

think they are very important. I think blue

18:35

lives matter. And

18:37

that was wrong of me in that moment. But

18:41

they went to taser me, but

18:43

I'd kicked the door down. So

18:46

they had accidentally tasered the man whose

18:48

coffee table it was. He's gone

18:50

down. He's landed on what's

18:52

left of that coffee table. That smashed

18:54

into smithereens. Oh, really?

18:56

Yeah. I've live streamed the entire thing on LinkedIn.

18:59

Oh. And they said this goes against their terms

19:02

of, you know, community guidelines.

19:04

So hang

19:05

on. You're live streaming all these events onto LinkedIn.

19:08

Yeah. And LinkedIn said that a

19:10

video of a man falling onto a coffee table having been

19:12

tasered is against their terms of conditions

19:15

or apparently. Right. So

19:17

don't tell me council culture isn't,

19:20

you know,

19:21

alive and well.

19:22

Absolutely. Yeah. So

19:26

the people at the beef marketing board who just offered you the job on

19:28

LinkedIn, were you aware that were

19:30

they watching the events? Yeah,

19:33

they were commenting.

19:35

Like ha ha ha, lol.

19:37

Right. Little emojis. Very

19:39

cool.

19:40

Yeah.

19:41

Do you not think though that in their position, they've just offered

19:43

the job, you know, a big job

19:45

that they care about somebody. And then moments

19:48

later, they're they're watching him. Well,

19:51

I guess you weren't tasered. Were you eventually

19:53

tasered yourself or? I

19:55

got a little bit of the tasere. Right. Yeah.

19:59

Yeah. getting tasered.

20:02

Most people might think well surely they'd

20:04

rescind the job offer but you know. What

20:08

for being tasered? Well

20:10

yeah for being in a situation in which you

20:13

could be tasered. But I was the victim in the whole

20:15

thing there. But

20:18

were you because the police were called because you

20:20

were kicking a man's door in? Yeah but he

20:22

said no time wasters. He

20:25

said no time wasters. Yeah. And

20:27

then he was wasting my time. Okay

20:30

okay right.

20:40

My son. He

20:42

will build an empire. If

20:45

you want to buy yourself on

20:47

the facebook marketplace

20:50

you will have to go through my

20:52

son.

20:55

I can see the future.

20:59

One day I will try

21:02

to sell an old beehive

21:04

and beekeeping

21:06

accessories on the facebook

21:09

marketplace without

21:11

his blessing. When

21:14

he finds out he will

21:16

drive me naked from

21:19

my bed to the town

21:21

square. The

21:23

old marketplace. From

21:26

before the facebook

21:28

marketplace. I

21:31

will bleed with them. I am

21:35

your father. Please

21:38

son. I

21:41

have no t-x needen

21:43

my 6th year lasagna.

21:49

Let's move on. So then you

21:51

start the job. This

21:54

is what I can't get my head around. You walk in on the

21:57

first day. You go into your new office.

22:00

So you sit down, let day one, beef

22:02

marketing board,

22:04

talk me through how

22:05

that goes then, as someone who's never heard of beef.

22:08

Okay, they show you around, they say, look, there's the

22:11

toilets, show

22:13

me the office and everything all very nice. They said

22:15

if you need anything else, you know, a different

22:17

kind of chair, whatever. They

22:20

gave me a little, popped a little catalogue on

22:22

the desk. They said, we'll sort that for you. I said, don't,

22:25

I said, get that out of my face. Facebook

22:28

marketplace is the place. Okay,

22:31

so they offered you, like an

22:34

office supply company brochure.

22:36

£75 spending money. Okay,

22:39

so you allocated you a budget if you wanted to

22:41

buy yourself a new chair. Yeah. Yeah.

22:44

I mean, that's not very much, is it £75 for us? It can go a long way on Facebook

22:47

marketplace. Oh, so okay. What

22:49

did you get on Facebook marketplace then? Yeah,

22:51

so I went on, I said, you know

22:54

what, this chair was lovely

22:56

in there. I'll sit on this chair. I said, I'd like an

22:58

ergonomic kind of

23:00

chair. Yeah. You know, like,

23:03

you've seen Wolf of Wall

23:05

Street. Yeah, right. Very cool,

23:07

guys. Right. Ergonomic chairs

23:09

all around. Okay. I went on

23:11

there and what do I see? Right.

23:14

You won't, you won't believe this. Same

23:17

guy who

23:20

had the half a coffee table.

23:22

Yeah. Has an ergonomic chair. Right.

23:24

And it says no time waste. Okay.

23:27

Yeah.

23:27

I

23:29

go on LinkedIn. Right.

23:32

And I message the people that

23:36

said I had the job. I said,

23:38

what do you mean no time?

23:40

Because I got it confused again. So now you're

23:42

mistaking LinkedIn for Facebook

23:44

marketplace. Yeah. Right.

23:47

And I said, right. And I drove back

23:49

to that man's house.

23:52

I got out of my car. I'm in my brand

23:54

new, you know, tailor made suit and the shoes

23:56

and everything. You know, the man

23:59

sees me. pulls back the curtain, he sees me

24:01

coming. I run, I see

24:03

him get on the phone. I see him

24:06

physically dial 999. The

24:08

police arrive very quickly this time. They

24:11

go to Taser me again, but I've kicked the

24:14

door down. It's exactly the same, amazingly.

24:17

Well, they tase him over the stake again? Yeah,

24:19

they tase him again. And I was like, ha,

24:22

but then

24:23

it's like it made him stronger.

24:27

I really, right? It turns out if you

24:29

get Taser the second time, you absorb

24:31

that power. The first time you get Taser,

24:33

do you somehow? It knocks you down, pathetic.

24:36

But you become immune somehow? You get

24:38

immune, there's, well, there's,

24:41

you know, people disagree about it. Some people

24:43

think you're just immune to it, fine. Some

24:46

people think, no, you get that electricity

24:49

and that makes you

24:51

like you're in Spider-Man.

24:56

Yeah.

24:57

Okay, so if you get, let

25:00

me just take this in. If you get Taser the second time, you

25:02

actually absorb the power and become

25:04

more powerful than ever before. Apparently, which

25:07

is funny because he starts to charge

25:09

towards me then, but. All

25:11

powerful and electricity, I imagine.

25:14

I might've misremembered, but I think he doubled in

25:16

size. Okay, right. And he's running

25:19

towards me now. Yeah. And the

25:21

police are looking at me like, well, you know,

25:23

this isn't what we do. Yeah.

25:27

And I said, oh, it Taser him again. And they did.

25:30

And this time he fell back. And

25:33

of course he's fallen on the ergonomic chair.

25:36

And he's huge as well now. And he's huge. And

25:39

it's completely squashed it. And I said,

25:41

how is this no time wasters?

25:45

Now, I feel like we've

25:47

slightly, I don't think this is something you've done

25:49

on purpose, but you've slightly taken us on a bit of a tangent.

25:52

I've just answered the questions. You've

25:55

never heard of beef. It's ridiculous,

25:57

really. Well, these people forget Steve Jobs.

26:00

Never has had never used a computer

26:02

in his life rest his soul right Zuckerberg

26:06

He doesn't have Facebook

26:09

he's not on Facebook marketplace. He's

26:11

not selling anything on there He's not doing

26:14

that so to Level

26:16

these things at me like you must be an expert in

26:18

the thing I'm like, but I'm making the thing great

26:21

the thing about yeah, you sold for beef. Well,

26:24

that's not zero beef

26:31

My

26:35

Son will be

26:37

unstoppable My son

26:40

will bury me in a

26:42

unmarked grave Where

26:45

only weeds grow and

26:47

the street docks write

26:49

their poems with peace.

26:52

I Should

26:58

not have feed him all

27:00

those glands

27:07

Grand

27:07

sanya,

27:09

it's the new gland lasagna

27:12

from itself

27:16

Will you resign now?

27:19

there's been a huge pressure, you know, there's been the the

27:23

petition The

27:25

the in-person rally which took place. Yeah.

27:28

Yeah outside ten Downing Street doesn't

27:30

bother me

27:32

You know

27:32

doesn't bother me. I have

27:35

in my office a fire extinguisher and

27:37

I have sprayed that at people

27:40

And I'll do it again.

27:42

So you just I'm gonna ask you just

27:44

one more time Almost

27:46

from me, you know personally, please

27:49

resign. Please resign. Oh

27:52

Why would you

27:53

what

27:54

We need someone at the top of the beef marketing board

27:57

who's heard of beef as a minimum. I thought

27:59

we were like

27:59

on.

28:01

We need someone who knows what beef

28:04

is. Are you into

28:06

Hot Wheels at all? Look, I like

28:09

Hot Wheels. Right. What

28:11

one? Sorry? What one?

28:14

What one?

28:15

I like the little maroon Batmobile.

28:18

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's unusual.

28:20

You see, you and I are not so different. I know,

28:22

but that's my leisure time and I'm

28:25

here. This is work time. This

28:28

is beef time. You

28:30

know, maybe outside of this, you and I could meet up, a

28:33

couple of Hot Wheels cars. Yeah. Swan

28:36

boat.

28:37

Boat shape like a swan. I don't think that would be appropriate.

28:39

Why?

28:41

I'm saying that that's my social life. Okay. We

28:44

can be friends in my social life. Okay.

28:46

If you want. Well, what do you want to do?

28:49

Like rugby?

28:50

Yeah. I like rugby. I've never seen it.

28:52

Okay. You could teach me. Yeah.

28:54

28:56

rudiments of rugby. Yeah. We can go

28:58

29:01

Then as

29:04

friends. What's rugby?

29:06

But I have to, but that's a different, that's a different

29:08

part of my life. I'm in my work life at the moment. Oh,

29:11

right. And I want to say you need to resign for

29:13

the sake of beef or at least find

29:15

out what beef is.

29:17

You've got to have heard of beef. Okay.

29:20

What if I do like a intensive

29:22

course

29:23

to learn what that is? That thing you, then

29:27

can I carry on?

29:29

I can show you some beef now. Okay.

29:31

Here you go.

29:37

29:47

really,

29:50

29:52

That's beef. Right.

29:55

Is,

29:58

your job to market this to the pub public.

30:07

thought we were doing like a,

30:10

30:13

know a fence. That's cool. Is it?

30:16

It's wet.

So until next time. Beef

31:39

out.

31:49

Thanks to Bilal Zafar and

31:51

Ephesias.

31:52

People say not to judge a fish

31:55

by its ability to

31:56

climb a tree. Which is why

31:58

here on Just The Zoo of Us, we judge them

32:00

by so much more. We rate

32:02

animals

32:02

out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness,

32:05

ingenuity, and aesthetic, taking into consideration

32:07

each animal's true strengths, like

32:10

a pigeon's ability to tell a Monet

32:12

from a Picasso, or a polar bear's ability

32:14

to play basketball. Guest experts

32:16

like biologists, ecologists, and more join

32:19

us to share their unique insight into the animal's

32:21

world.

32:22

It's the final week of Co-Op-Tomer.
