The Internet’s Most Toxic Co-Worker reveals Fast Food Hacks & Freebies! (Trent Szmolnik)

Trent Szmolnik better known as Trentos the Fresh Maker and the creator behind everyone’s favourite toxic co-worker, Emily joins Dub and Nectro for a hilarious and surprisingly personal episode of The Food Guys.

Trent reveals how years spent working at Subway, Hungry Jack’s, Pizza Hut and Woolworths gave him the real-life characters and workplace experiences that would eventually inspire his viral videos. He explains why he was initially terrified to post content, the Australia Post skit that first took off, and how Emily went from a one-off idea to the character his audience demanded to see every week.

The boys also uncover fast-food secrets from Trent’s past, including Subway portion rules, how Hungry Jack’s flame-grills its burgers and the ordering hacks he still remembers years later. Plus, they debate iced-coffee surcharges, self-checkouts, Melbourne versus Brisbane food, death-row meals and whether a Zinger Box is worthy of being someone’s final meal.

Trent also opens up about preparing to become a father, the pressure of buying the perfect pram and why he only wants the good brands when accepting baby hand-me-downs. It’s an episode packed with workplace stories, creator advice, food confessions and plenty of moments where Emily unexpectedly takes control of the podcast.
