People do some weird shit.
Would you like to try a vape?
Why would you take up something that is going to be addictive and expensive?
I think for people...
I'll tell you why.
Yeah.
Because you're young and stupid.
Some things make more sense than others.
You mentioned that your goal was to be healthy,
and I just don't know how you figure that's going to happen
when you're ordering a chocolate mousse.
No.
You know, I had it in the car on the way home and I didn't have a spoon.
So I was like an armadillo trying to get ants out of a hole.
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
Being fingered is an awful sensation.
You haven't been fingered by the right person.
Goodness me.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of bitches.
Hi, it's Jenna.
Please don't forget to include my name in the opener this season.
I'm sorry.
Ta-da!
Now, here's Mitch Julie and Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, hello, Mitchell.
Hi, everyone.
G'day, g'day.
Welcome back.
Another episode, another week.
I feel like the standing up thing is stuck.
You're still standing.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm still standing up.
No one needs to know this, by the way.
No, but I feel like they can hear the difference in your voice because I can see it in your face.
You've got pink face.
It's nice.
Pink face?
Yeah.
I'd love to know if people can tell the difference.
I just feel more alert when I stand up instead of sitting down.
No, I'm genuinely, I listened back to last week's episode and you had a, there was a glow about you in your voice as well.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
I guess your body's working twice as hard to keep you from passing out.
I know.
Well, you know how the Apple Watch things, I don't have one because I don't want to know
how many steps I don't do a day.
You know how they tell you how often you stand up and whatever?
Yeah.
When I think about it, I don't stand much.
So it could do me good once a week to stand for an hour.
Yeah, but I tell you, that Apple Watch doesn't even make sense because it goes, time to stand
up.
And you stand up, it goes, great, one hour added to your stand goal.
I'm like, really?
I stood up for 20 seconds. That's's weird i don't get the math and then you've got little bars that go you
did eight hours of standing i definitely didn't stand for eight hours i also hate that um your
friends can see how your rings are doing like how many steps you've done how much standing you've
done that's none of anyone's business as far as i'm concerned yeah and i don't know how to remove
it so i've got all these old friends that i used to know, like Nick, who used to work in the
engineering department at ARN, who left three years ago.
Now he works at Tasmania.
I always see when he goes on a hike.
Nick just finished a hike.
Good for Nick.
Well, I've got beef with another Apple product.
That's my engine today.
Oh, really?
I'll talk about that a little bit later.
Interesting.
You're pretty tech savvy.
You're not bad.
I've got friends that are shocking at tech.
Have you been to the new Apple stores lately?
They do classes.
Like, it's the Apple University.
No, I did not know that was a thing.
Yeah, I was in there trying to get my Mac fixed,
and then I got shushed because they're in the middle of a seminar.
This is a store, man.
Were they all old people at the seminar?
Yes.
Yep.
I figured.
It was very sweet.
Prizekeeper Janice.
Hi, Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Welcome to the show.
Now, we can't forget Mitchell.
It's Jenna's birthday. Yay! Happy birthday, Jenna. Hi, Jenna. Welcome to the show. Now, we can't forget Mitchell. It's Jenna's birthday.
Yay!
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Thank you.
Our eternal flame on the show.
My calendar says Jenna Benson's 29th birthday.
Is that true?
That is correct.
Well, for this life, yes.
Yes.
For this life.
Well, I've got your present.
Oh, my God, a present!
This might make sense to only some people listening.
It's a bit of an inside joke with Jenna and I.
Here you go.
Let's see.
I don't even know what this is, Jenna.
Because last year it was the pregnancy test and the fake Brie Larson room.
Yeah, this one isn't a joke gift, I will say.
Look how slowly she's going to open it.
Fucking hell.
Let's not say anything so people actually understand how long it takes.
Whenever Jenna's doing anything, it's like it's in slow motion.
Whenever Jenna's doing anything, it's like it's in slow motion.
There we go.
Show me.
So because... What is it?
Her and I are both fans of McLeod's Daughters.
Yeah.
One of the cast members.
The chick who played Stevie in McLeod's Daughters.
She's got her own clothing line now, the Wandering Aussie.
Because, I don't know, she's just gone full hippie
because she's got no acting gigs anymore, I guess.
She just kind of drives around in a van.
Is it a reference to, was The Wandering Aussie a shop in the show?
Well, no, that's just her own brand.
And her motto is, not all those who wander are lost.
So she just doesn't have a house.
This isn't justifying her homelessness.
Yeah.
How does she run a merch store from a van is what I want to know.
Hold on, Jenna.
Hold it up.
That could fit me.
That's very big.
Yeah, it's oversized and I got it in small.
Can you make sure it fits?
Shit.
I kept the docket.
Put it on, Jenna.
And that's such a nice U colour.
Yes.
It's almost corpse pink.
What would the return address even be if I needed to swap it?
Yeah, PO box, combi van.
You see it, put it through the window.
Oh, my God. If the window's not open, we're shut. You see it, put it through the window.
If the window's not open, we're shut.
Even the trying it on is going to be slow motion.
Hurry up.
Oh, that looks so comfy, actually.
There we go.
So it's a Nish McLeod sort of reference, but Jenna appreciated it.
Oh, it suits you.
Yeah, that size works, do you think? That's actually her colour, too.
It's like a peachy sort of colour.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Should we get her on the podcast?
Yes.
What's her name again?
I don't think we should.
What's her name?
Simone Jane McKinnon.
That's right.
I just think we need to ask, how do you run a merch store from the back of a van if you're
always on the road?
Because we want ideas.
Yeah.
What's her name again?
Simone Jane McKinnon.
Simone Jane McKinnon.
Who did we get?
We got Bridie Carter.
Yes.
So we've already had one.
I mean, I'm sure we could make it happen.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I mean, we don't have to. You don't sound interested at all I mean, I'm sure we could make it happen. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I mean, we don't have to.
You don't sound interested at all.
No, I'm just worried for my safety.
What do you mean?
What if we put her behind a Perspex piece of glass?
Oh, no, she wouldn't come in.
She's on the road.
She's wandering, darling.
Oh, so she needs.
She's the wandering Aussie.
She needs to stop at a phone booth.
Yes, exactly.
I mean, Brindle Barrel, dude.
Can I go to the local station and connect?
Did you know she used to date Jason Momoa?
What?
Really?
He's hot.
I need to Google her.
Sorry.
I know we're in the open of our show.
Yeah, just look up Simone Jade McKinnon.
She played Stevie, the ranger on McLeod's Tourist.
Oh, Stevie.
Stevie's the big one.
The big one.
No.
Oh, like one of the main ones.
Yeah.
Holy shit, she did date him.
Wow.
I had no idea about that. True story. When she was on Baywatch. Oh, I forgot she the main ones. Yeah. Holy shit, she did date him. Wow. I had no idea about that.
True story.
When she was on Baywatch.
Oh, I forgot she was on Baywatch.
Oh, there she is now.
Shit.
Oh, and look at this.
This was only five years ago.
Meet my baby.
She's got the Jane Fonda look.
Yeah.
You can't see it.
I think she takes the kid on the road too.
Yeah, she does.
I don't know how he goes to school.
He doesn't.
Well, we can ask her all these questions. When we get her on. All right. Put a pin in that. Put a pin in that. I can try. No, you don't know how he goes to school. He doesn't. Well, we can ask her all these questions.
When we get her on.
All right.
Put a pin in that.
Put a pin in that.
I can try.
No, you don't have to.
I'll look after her.
All right.
All right.
It's a very big show.
Oh, my God.
As you know.
God, how long ago was it when we ranked the doorbells?
Oh, that was during Mufti Week.
So I want to say episode 102.
Okay.
So it wasn't that recent, but we had such an influx of doorbells sent in to us
and people showing off their doorbell, the world's best doorbell.
Yeah.
And we have actually deemed it.
We have ranked the world's best doorbell.
It was a beautiful sound.
Yeah, we had five callers.
They showed us their doorbells.
Yep, yep, yep.
And today we are taking it to the next step.
We're ranking another sound.
Should we reveal what it is?
Should I say what it is?
That's up to you.
This is your baby.
Everyone's got one? Not all are the best? Not all are is? That's up to you. This is your baby. Everyone's got one?
Not all are the best?
Not all are equal? We'll rank it later.
We've got five idiots coming on the show.
And we're going to rank something that they all have.
Farts.
Could be. Cum sounds.
Is there a sound?
As in like the climax noise they make.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Imagine recording that.
Is that yours?
Let me think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oof. Imagine recording that. Is that yours? Oof. Let me think.
Yeah, it's guttural.
There's a lot of contracting happening.
It is.
It is.
Anyway, that's later on the show.
That's later on the show.
We're ranking.
It's going to be very fun.
We've got listeners on.
We're also doing a taste test.
Yes.
Remember last week you said that you wanted to try baby food?
Well, it's not that I wanted to try it.
It's that I was just envious that kids got all these Rafferty's Garden and
Sugar Snap pea puree. Well, no, you said
that you wanted to try the baby food diet.
Yes, because Katerina Goussis,
who... You can just say it, my friend.
No, no, no. Katerina Goussis, who
she shed the weight real quick.
Probably for the instant diarrhea she got.
Well, I've been researching the baby food diet
and I don't recommend it. Well, we'll deal with that
later. So there's info out there on it?
It's a thing, yeah.
What's its health star rating?
It is not backed by science.
I can assure you of that.
The Heart Foundation, we're not even touching it.
Should I give you the Rusky Stick or whatever it's called now?
Because you have to suck on them for a while.
Yes, bring it on.
Because it's for teething children.
Yeah, teething rusks.
There you go.
That could last for hours.
Yeah. Oh, look at it. Actually you go. That could last for hours. Yeah.
Oh, look at it.
Actually, maybe I should save it for later.
No, no, no.
Because I don't want you sucking on a stick the whole episode.
Every five minutes or so, you check in and see where I'm at.
Good.
Oh, God.
Don't try and bite it.
I'm not going to bite it.
Hold on.
Just put it in there.
I find them so gross because when kids suck on them, they start dribbling slobber everywhere.
They're not tidy.
It's like a chicken wing bone.
You know when you get to the bone?
No.
I don't.
All right.
Well, I've got a couple more things to show you later.
I can't even bite through it even if I try.
All right.
Oh, I can't wait.
All right.
I'll put this down.
I'll put my arms down.
And we'll start with the idjams.
These are something you've noticed, something you hate or appreciate.
They're the core of the show.
The namesake of the show, if you will.
It's something we've noticed.
I've said that, haven't I?
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, it's been a rough day.
But we've both got an is it just me each.
Yes.
And we don't know what the other's going to be.
You don't know mine.
I don't know yours.
Correct.
You can go first because I've been so pushy the last few weeks.
Sure.
All right.
Well, I've got beef with an Apple product, like I said.
Let's go.
Is it just me or?
Do you hate spatial audio on AirPods?
Yes.
Where did that come from?
I don't know.
It's very new.
But how does it work?
Explain it.
So it's like, actually, I don't know how to explain it.
It's tricky because I found out about it the other day by accident.
I must have updated them or something, my AirPods.
I think it only applies to the AirPods Pro.
Yeah, and the Macs because I've got the big ones and they do it too.
I've got the original ones. Can I just say I much and the Macs because I've got the big ones and they do it too. I've got the original ones and they...
Can I just say I much prefer the original AirPods.
I've got two and I really only use the AirPod Pros
when the other ones are flat.
Yeah, the silicon tips are too annoying.
No, I don't like them and I can't lie in bed and watch TV
with the silicone tips in my ears because they get all waxy and yuck.
Anyway, spatial audio is basically like, let's just say,
I've just put my phone right in front of me and it's playing this podcast.
And then I turn this way and then all of a sudden it's only in the right ear, the ear closest to the phone.
And then I turn this way and oh, it's only in the left ear, the ear closest to the phone.
It's like the phone becomes the point of view for the audio.
It's real whack.
And it caught me off guard because I didn't know that setting existed
and I was like, what's happening to my favourite Kylie Minogue song?
It was so weird.
Yeah, it does it when you're walking with music too
because I'll be on a walk trying to look at the scenery and the birds
and then the song feels like it's rattling in my head.
Yeah, because you dare turn your head one way or you put the phone
in your pocket and all of a sudden the perspective changes.
It's not a good idea.
Or if you readjust, like I use AirPods when I'm watching Apple TV when Hayden's asleep,
when I get home late.
And if you are sitting and watching and it thinks the TV's in front of you
and you readjust and you're on a different angle,
the whole movie is out of whack because it still thinks the TV's
in the old position.
Yes, exactly.
And it's like I think Apple are making all these tiny little changes
just to try and keep things interesting.
And it's like we didn't need that.
We did not need spatial audio.
No.
Having said that, you know what one of my favourite things ever is?
On Apple?
Not on Apple.
It's just, you look them up on YouTube.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
If you listen to your favourite song for the first time in 8D audio,
that's a wild experience.
Wait, how do you get 8D audio?
8D.
Yeah, so I did, do you know the song Delicate by Taylor Swift? This is for the best. Yeah. I did Delicate, Taylor Swift, 8D audio. 8D. Yeah, so I did. Do you know the song Delicate by Taylor Swift?
This is for the best.
Yeah.
I did Delicate Taylor Swift 8D audio.
Just look that up on YouTube.
Oh, my God.
It's wild.
It's fucking wild.
Really?
So we had 4D, which was like the Shrek experience at Dreamworld when Fiona snots on you and
you get wet.
Oh, she sneezes and you get wet.
I never experienced that, but that sounded so cool at the time.
Donkey goes, I need a tic-tac.
And then they spray mint in the studio.
It's nice.
So this is different to spatial audio because spatial audio is based on, you know, where
you've got your head.
But this one, it just automatically like explores different sides of your brain.
It's so whack.
So I would suggest listening to this with headphones.
Okay.
If you're listening to the podcast in the car, I don't know, rewind later, listen to
it with headphones.
We've all got headphones on.
So I'm going to play Taylor Swift's Delicate 8D Audio, 400,000 views.
Let's go.
They sing for the best.
My reputation's never been worse, so you must like me for me.
Oh, gave me a shiver.
We can't make any promises now, can we be?
But you can make me a dream
It sounds like Taylor's a mosquito.
It's like she's in my brain.
Oh, she's on the left.
She's behind me!
There she is on the right.
Don't talk too much.
Suck on the rusk.
I've never seen that colour glow.
Just think of the fun things we could do. It's like on the Rusk. Isn't that weird?
It's like she's breathing down my neck while she sings.
This is the perfect song too because it's kind of whispery and haunting.
Yeah, oh, wait till the next bit.
When she says, is it cool that I said all that?
That is literally like she's whispering in your ear.
In my head!
It is delicate.
Yeah, so I find 8D songs quite cool.
Look up one of your favourite songs in 8D.
Yeah, K.R.
When you experience it for the first time, it's pretty weird.
Oh, my God.
Some of them even go up to 16D.
What does that mean?
Janice Brasside.
Ariana Grande, 8D audio, 3 million views, seven rings.
I feel like that'd be perfect.
Oh, okay.
Oh.
Whoa.
Oh.
There's a dog. There's a dog. I know okay. Whoa. I didn't know
there were dogs
in this song.
I know,
I'd never heard
that before.
Ah!
She went down
my back.
Oh, that's good.
I feel like I'm high.
Especially with half a rusk down.
Should we hotbox this bitch?
Hey, you want to suck on my rusk?
She's on top of me!
Wow.
Yeah, see, if Apple can activate like 8D mode on the phones, sure.
I'm here for it.
But fucking spatial audio, not here for it,
where you just accidentally walk away from the music.
Yeah, get fucked, Apple.
Agreed.
I agree.
Not a fan.
Ready for my agent?
Yeah, hit me.
Here we go.
Is it just me or?
Do you agree?
No.
That everyone in the world is either a rat or a frog?
A rat or a frog.
You know, this has been inspired by J-Mo and Dylan,
who are friends of the podcast.
Oh, yes.
We've played some of their audio before.
They are actually the only straight white male podcast that isn't insufferable.
Yeah, they're quite lovely, actually.
They're nice boys.
I feel like I could have a beer with them.
Same.
Agreed.
They posted this on TikTok.
It's gone super viral, but I completely agree with it.
So this is from J-Mo and Dylan.
Everyone either looks like a frog or a rat.
Some are more frog than rat or more rat than frog.
However, all people possess elements of both.
What do you boys think?
Look, I don't mind it.
I'd be more ratty than froggy.
He's right.
I think I'd be more ratty as well.
If you Google them, you can tell.
They're both definitely rats.
So is it about your face or your energy?
Yes.
Or both?
I think it's both.
Mostly in the face.
Think about it.
Jenna?
So sorry, but definitely rat. Wow. Yes. Or both. I think it's both. Mostly in the face. Like, think about it. Jenna? Mm-hmm.
So sorry, but definitely rat.
Yes.
Wow.
Wow.
I wouldn't take that as an insult, Jenna, because that kind of means slim, you know?
Yeah, when you're up against Mitchell Cheery, who is definitely a clear frog.
I'd be a little bit of both in that way. Oh, I think you're ratty.
I think he's ratty.
You're rat.
I suppose, yes.
What about Tom Holland? Famous Tom Holland. Ooh. He's a frog. I think you're ratty. I think he's ratty. You're rat. I suppose, yes. What about Tom Holland?
Famous Tom Holland.
He's a frog. I'd say frog.
He's got a cute little round face. Yes, for sure.
I'd say frog. Wait, I would not have said that.
He's a frog. Yeah, I'd say frog. Why?
I don't know. I just can't see him as a rat.
Oh, yeah. Actually, no. I'm looking now.
He's a little bit froggy. James Corden?
Frog. Amen. Frog.
Ellen?
Oh, that's actually tough. Oh, Corden? Frog. Amen, frog. Ellen? Ooh.
Ooh, that's actually tough.
Oh, that's...
Just by nature, rat.
Yeah.
Based on the allegations, rat.
Oprah?
Frog.
Frog, yeah, ribbit.
Big frog.
Taylor Swift?
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh, I'm going to have to get fresh eyes on her.
I think Swifty.
Sorry, but once you get down to the nose and the teeth,
she's skewing rat.
Yeah.
Nothing wrong with being a rat.
No, nothing in the slightest.
She's been on this show before, and I hope she doesn't take this as an offence.
Through Taylor Swift.
No, no, she hasn't.
I hope she's not offended by this, because there's only two options,
and they're both offensive.
But I think one of the biggest frogs on TV is Angela Bishop from Studio 10.
Oh. Look at her. She's a frog. frogs on TV is Angela Bishop from Studio 10. Oh.
Look at her.
She's a frog.
Really?
Yeah.
Sarah Harris from Studio 10.
Major frog energy.
Actually, yeah, I suppose so.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing because you said Tom Holland's a frog.
Yeah.
The hottest of the hot, present company excluded, are frogs.
Yeah, agreed.
That's what I'm hearing.
So Sarah and Ange, that's a compliment.
Ida Buttrose.
Oh.
Oh. Yeah, I agree. That's what I'm hearing. So Sarah and Ange, that's a compliment. Ida Buttrose. Oh. Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, Burt Newton.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
May he rest in peace.
What about Tracy Grimshaw?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, let's think more international.
Yeah, agreed.
Less Aussie celebs.
Okay, Beyonce.
Oh, yeah, Beyonce. What's she? Yeah. Yeah, let's think more international. Less Aussie celebs. Okay, Beyonce. Oh, yeah, Beyonce.
What's she?
Yeah, she definitely is, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
What about, okay, let's go down that route.
Adele, because that's a bit hit and miss, isn't it?
Oh, Adele.
Nah.
Yeah.
She has to be.
Yeah, she's-
Even despite the drastic weight loss, he's saying that she's a-
Major.
Okay.
Even back in the day, major.
Celebs who have lost weight.
Rebel Wilson.
Oh, that's a tough one.
I'm going to say...
You reckon?
Has she always been a rat?
No.
But people can change.
I think she's always been a rat.
So she was, but now...
Don't forget, she was once.
Chrissy Swann.
Oh.
I'm telling you, you look at someone and they're either frog or rat.
Like, there's no other animal that can fall in between.
What about people in our sort of industry, like influencers and whatnot?
Oh, friend of the show, all right.
I couldn't even finish the sentence.
Millie Graham.
Yeah, no discussion
No discussion needed there
What about Carla from Bankstown?
Yeah
Sherrilyn Barnes, one of my favourite creators of all time
God, she's on the lily pad 24-7
Abbey Chatfield
Oh
You reckon?
I think so
Okay
To be honest, I leant towards to start, but no definite major.
Queen of the rats, in fact.
Martha from Maths.
She's not a frog.
Yeah.
Maybe she is.
Yeah, I'd say frog.
Like Kylie Jenner, Martha, all the, every Kardashian are frogs.
Why?
You're a Kardashian, you're a frog.
Because think about the plump face, the features.
Rats is, you and Jen are perfect examples of rats,
and I'm a perfect example of a frog.
Are you seriously implying that the Kardashians have a plumper face than me?
That is just so far from the truth.
Hey, sit down, rat.
Oh, RuPaul from RuPaul's Drag Race.
Oh, that's tough.
That's a tough one.
Rat, sorry, I'm saying it.
Yeah.
No, I can see it too.
But in drag.
Oh.
Is it just me?
That's enough of these two.
Now let's hear, and is it just you?
All right, time for an is it just you?
Oh, sorry, hold on.
How's your little rusk going?
I made it through the centre of the rusk.
Do you know how hard it is to say rusk stick with a lisp?
Try it.
Rusk stick.
Yeah, you go straight from an SK to an ST.
And I have to really slow it down.
Rusk stick.
Oh, even it's hard for me.
Yeah, it's hard for anyone.
That makes me feel better.
Okay, let's jump into an Is It Just You.
This is your chance as a listener to come on the show and do what we do every day.
You just don't get paid the millions that we get. Nah But look, it's fine. You'll get there one day.
Something you've noticed, something you hate or appreciate. Tori's gotten in touch this
week. Hey, Tori, welcome.
Hi. Hi, guys. Hi, Jenna.
Hello, darling. How's things?
Good. Cold.
Yeah. Isn't it cold? I had to get the Kmart heater back out.
I'm loving it.
It's horrible. I hate it. But I'm so excited to be on the show.
It's our pleasure.
Whereabouts are you calling from?
Darlinghurst.
Oh, right.
Just down the road.
We're in Sydney, babe.
It's not that cold.
Just at work, so yes.
Oh, we'll keep a punch.
Sorry.
What do you do?
I'm a finance manager.
I have no idea what that means.
No.
I just work with money, you know.
Oh, you'd be good on this show then.
There's so much of that floating around.
That's the sort of job where if the Uber driver asks you,
what do you do?
And you say, I'm a finance manager, there's no follow-up question.
No, there's not.
It's hard to explain sometimes.
I just go, oh, just money.
Imagine if her idiom was just, is it just me or is managing finance so hard?
We're like, I bet it is.
I'm quite bad at it myself, yes.
Tori, Bradley's going to take you in, then give us your idiom, okay?
Okay, sure.
Is it just me or?
Do you love looking at what people are doing on their phones, like strangers?
Not really, not really really because I feel bad.
I feel this immediate guilt and I'm like, no, look away.
Look away.
No, I love it.
It's kind of like when you're in the city and you're looking at a hotel
through hotel windows and I love seeing what people are up to.
It's weird because they have a whole other life that you just know
nothing about and it's really fascinating to me.
See, I hate hearing that because every time I've got my phone out in public
and I'm like, yeah, I always think to myself,
oh, is someone going to be spying on me watching what I'm doing on my screen?
But then I think, no, I would never do that to anyone else.
So why would they do it to me?
But now I know there's people like you.
I was talking to someone the other day and I was trying to get a look
at what they were doing.
I was like really cranking the neck around.
And they had one of those privacy screen protectors.
Oh, they're good.
You can only see face on, but if you're on the side, it blacks it out.
Yeah, they ruin the vibes.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Yeah, I wouldn't get one of those because I don't have that much to hide,
to be honest.
But have you spotted anything juicy when you're phone snooping?
I mean, not anything that really, you know, anything really exciting,
but it's just so interesting to see, like,
what people do in their free time when there's no one around.
It's a little bit of a guilty pleasure, I must say.
I love to airdrop random photos of things to other people,
like when you're on a plane or when you're in a public area.
Oh, I wish I could do that.
I don't have Apple, so.
Oh, you're an android.
Yeah, I'm an Android.
Yeah.
Sorry, Tunnel.
Oh, no.
Nope, she's long gone.
Don't be like that.
She's gone.
Tori's gone.
I was thinking that she had a really clear line.
She had a great line.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that's the Android.
Shit, you're right.
Did you actually hang up on her?
Yeah, she's long gone.
I sorry Tunneled her.
Tori.
That's how it works.
Oh, well, thanks for calling, Tori.
Love you. Thanks for calling. But if you're calling,i. That's how it works. Oh, well, thanks for calling, Tori. Love you.
Thanks for...
But if you're calling...
Android people don't like Android people.
Their emojis suck.
They're like...
You don't see their emojis.
When they send it to you, it translates to Apple.
True, but I just know they suck because it's a green bubble.
And I go, I knew they meant to give me that ugly grimacing emoji.
Anyway.
All right.
If you want to get on the show, send us your...
Is it just you?
Is it just you?
You can DM us at couple of Mitch's.
Send us a voice note too or just get in touch and we'll grab you on the show.
Right now, guys, you're all across what it is.
You're all across what time it is.
Two horns at once.
Is this our moderator game horn?
Yes, it is.
The townspeople.
Look, Jenna, behind you.
The townspeople are all on the mountainside.
Oh, my God.
They are ready to deem.
We've already done Australia's, actually, international,
the world's best doorbell.
Right.
Today we are ranking the world's best car horn.
Yeah, baby.
Everyone's got one.
Everyone's got one and they are different.
My dad drives a BMW, a European car, and it's a beefy horn.
Yeah, some of them are just single-note horns.
But then some of them are harmonies.
They're like, there's more than one note at one.
My mum's Volkswagen.
She's had it for so long, it's actually sad now.
It's a, but it used to be a tight and bright, I'm a Volkswagen.
So you've got five people on the line ready to show us their horns, do you a tight and bright ha, I'm a Volkswagen ha.
So you've got five people on the line ready to show us their horns, do you?
Five people, baby, from all walks of life.
They're all live, standing by in their cars.
So should we begin?
Okay, let's do it.
Who have we got up first?
Let's go.
Let's start with Charles, actually.
We'll get Charles on the line.
Charles is in Bathurst in New South Wales.
Hi, Charles.
Hello.
Hi, darling. Hello.
Welcome to the show, Charles.
What do you drive, Charles?
Driving a Skoda.
I'm right now in school pick-up, so this will be interesting.
Oh, a Skoda.
What's that?
European, right, Charles?
Yeah, European.
That is correct.
Okay.
All right.
Well, Charles, we're ready.
Give us your Skoda horn.
Okay.
Here it goes.
Oh.
Wow.
Hold on. Can you go one more, Charles?
Oh, there's some school kids sitting right next to it.
Yep, sure.
I like that.
No, that's a hefty horn, that one.
That packs a punch.
Is it an old horn, Charles, or a freshie?
A freshie.
Ah, I can hear it too.
It was vibrant.
It was vibrant and had notes of life left in it.
Am I ranking these like the doorbells?
Yes, you're in charge.
Yeah, you're ranking from five to one.
So that was Charles.
That was a good one.
Skoda.
Let's go to Jessica now.
Hello, Jessica.
Welcome to the show.
Whereabouts are you?
I'm in South Australia.
Hello, darling.
Okay.
What do you drive?
A Toyota Kluger.
A Kluger.
That's a big mum car.
Yeah, that's a big soccer mum car, isn't it?
Four-wheel drive, right?
Not four-wheel drive, no.
We'll hit us with it.
I want to hear this.
Go for it, Jess.
Am I doing it from inside the car or outside?
Well, you can't really do it from outside, can you?
You have to physically hit it.
Yeah, all right.
Here we go.
Ready?
Oh, wow.
Are you in a garage? I'm undercover parking, yeah. Yeah, that echo, Here we go. Ready? Oh, wow. Are you in a garage?
I'm undercover parking, yeah.
Yeah, that echo, that really adds to it.
One more, Jess, one more.
All right, here we go.
Oh, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
Yeah, no, that did things to me, Jessica.
Wow.
I like that.
Jessica, don't you go anywhere.
I've got a feeling your clue is getting you to the top, baby.
Maybe.
Let's go to Ripley.
Oh, my God, can you believe it or not? Ripley's
on. Hey, Ripley, whereabouts you in the country? Hey, I'm in Melbourne. Melbourne!
Ripley from Melbourne, okay. So we're going right around. We're getting a taste of different horns.
Ripley, what do you drive? I drive a 2004
Honda Integra. A Honda Integra? That sounds
kind of grand, doesn't it?
I've never even heard of that.
Sounds like a judge you'd get in a law and order SVU.
The presiding judge is Honda Integra.
The Honourable Honda Integra.
So give it to us, Ripley.
Go for it.
All right, here we go.
Oh!
Wow.
I instantly got transported, don't know about you,
to primary school.
Yeah.
2004, 2005.
Yep, yep. Go again, to primary school. Yeah. 2004, 2005. Yeah.
Yep.
Go again, Ripley.
All right.
Wow.
That almost sounds like a Sims.
Like a video game.
It does, doesn't it?
Did you ever play Grand Theft Auto?
I feel like you could beep the horn on there.
Yes.
Or like Simpsons Hit and Run.
Yeah.
That's what it reminds me of.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Ripley, that's a good contender.
Thank you, buddy.
Yeah, wow.
This is tough, actually. These are three me of. Oh, my God. Hey, Ripley, that's a good contender. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, wow. This is tough, actually.
These are three strong horns.
Well, we're going.
Three strong horns.
It is.
Oh, I've got another horn for you.
Okay, let's go to Lee now.
Lee's called through.
Hi, Lee.
Where in the world are you?
I am in Blakehurst.
Blakehurst.
Is that in Sydney?
That's in Sydney.
Blakehurst is in Sydney.
Nice. So we've got another one from New South Wales. Lee. Is that in Sydney? That's in Sydney. Blakehurst is in Sydney. Nice.
So we've got another one from New South Wales.
Lee, what do you drive?
What's your car?
RAV4.
RAV4.
She's a woman of few words, isn't she?
Isn't she?
Yeah.
Lee, how long have you had your RAV?
Three years.
Okay, so fairly new.
Yeah, I gave up smoking, so I was able to afford a nice car.
Oh, I love that.
Don't try and get pity points though.
That is really cool though.
Are you a frugal horn user or are you like honking everyone left, right and centre?
Um, no.
I use it when I have to.
Uh-huh.
Responsible.
I.e. on a podcast.
Yeah.
Well, don't count your chickens before they hatch, okay?
Let's hear the horn, Lee.
Go for it.
Yes.
Whoa.
Wow.
That was, for a RAV4, a bigger car, that's a high-pitched horn.
Wow.
Yeah, no, that one was a little bit painful to hear, but having said that, that makes
it an effective horn, doesn't it?
That's the sort of horn that if you honked behind me in traffic, I'd get pissed off.
Yeah.
One more time, Lee.
Where are you at the moment?
I'm out the front of my house.
Okay.
And I think I just scared a few high school kids.
Oh, okay.
Oh, my God, there's school kids around.
You'll be right.
Can you hold down your horn for an uncomfortable amount of time?
I can, but I don't think my daughter can.
It's car horn chicken.
You just beep it as long as you can before you chicken out.
That was pretty good.
That wasn't much.
That was pretty good. Pretty good, but no extra points. That's how the game works. Thank you't much. That was pretty good.
Pretty good.
But no extra points.
That's how the game works.
Thank you, Lee.
Thank you, Lee.
All right.
Can we go back to Charles in Bathurst?
Yeah, we can.
Yeah, we're going back.
Back to Charles in Bathurst.
Charles, are you still on the school run?
I sure am.
Just about to pick up the kids.
We just played a game of car horn chicken with Lee and Blake Hurst.
Can you just hold down your horn for an uncomfortable amount of time until you chicken out?
Yeah, you can.
The teacher's like right in front.
Yeah, just like wave at them and go, sorry, accident.
You're not your boss.
But I reckon aim for 10 seconds.
Give it a go.
Go on, Charles.
Okay, ready?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, you little bitch.
Oh, I reckon Ripley will do it.
Let's go to Ripley.
Ripley.
Thank you, Charles.
Ripley is on.
Hi, Ripley.
You there?
Yeah.
I don't know why, but we've turned this into a game of Carhorn Chicken.
Are you still in that?
Oh, no, you're in the underground park.
Where are you again?
No, I'm in my apartment parking lot.
Is there people around? Not so much, no. Ah're in the underground park. Where are you again? No, I'm in my apartment parking lot. Is there people around?
Not so much, no.
Ah, sorry, tunnel.
Jessica, are you there?
Yeah.
Are there people around in that underground park?
Yeah.
Oh, we've turned this into a game of car horn chicken.
I'm just getting people to hold down their horn for as long as possible.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
All right.
Go on.
All right. Go on. All right.
That's enough people.
I think I've died.
You all suck.
You're all pussies.
All right.
Thank you, Jessica.
We're back to you with the results very soon.
We have one more, the fifth and final car horn,
which is actually ascending.
They're not on the phone.
Yep.
But we have a friend of the show and dad of Mitchell Coombs.
I know, isn't this gorgeous?
Ian Coombs has sent in his truck.
I believe it's a truck or a tractor.
Well, this is a point of difference, isn't it?
It's a truck horn.
Yes, it's different to your standard commercial car, but this is Ian Coombs.
He sent this in for us, so it's right on that.
You wanted to get him on the phone, but didn't he say, oh, no, there's no reception on the farm.
So I'm going to have to film it and send it in.
He did, which is still taking forever to get.
But this is Ian Coombs and his truck horn.
Okay, Mitch, here's that truck horn you wanted to hear.
Oof.
That is hot.
It is quite satisfying to beep that horn too.
He's so cute, isn't he?
I beeped that horn myself.
Yeah, and because you're in a truck, right,
it reverberates through the metal.
Sounds different.
You scare the shit out of anyone.
All right.
This is potentially a super question.
Have you ever driven in a truck before?
I have, yeah.
It's fun because all the kids on the side of the road
do that thing with their arm to tell you to beep the horn.
Oh, yeah.
You know, like the fist bump thing in the air.
That's what that means, yeah.
Like, I'll beep the horn. And if you're not a fun sucker, you to beep the horn. Oh, yeah. That's what that means, yeah. I'll beep the horn.
And if you're not a fun sucker, you'll actually do it.
You'll have fun.
Because they get a thrill out of a truck beeping their horn.
Is it in the middle of the steering wheel or is it actually a trigger, like a string?
It's the steering wheel one.
It's a string.
It's an old thing.
Sorry about that.
Well, it's time for a result.
We need a decision out of you, Mitchell.
Let me play the official intro because this, as it always does every time,
turns into...
Top five.
Top five horns.
God, it's tricky because...
I think this is tougher than the doorbell.
Definitely, definitely.
It's hard.
Okay, well, I'm thinking...
Should I go five to one?
Is that how we do this?
Yeah, five to one.
Countdown, okay.
Yeah, it's like a countdown.
So you can...
Joe! Oh, it's Joe! Joe's back! five to one. Countdown, okay. Yeah, it's like a countdown. So you can watch it. Number two.
Jo.
Oh, it's Jo.
Jo's back.
Our lesbian VO girl.
Hi, Jo.
She's clearly flew in.
Yeah.
She's just flown in.
Okay, so number five.
Yeah.
In last place, I'm going to say Lee from Blakehurst. It was just a bit pitchy, Barb.
Remember this one?
Nah, that one just pisses me off.
Yeah, I agree.
It's a bit of a Karen's horn.
No, I agree.
It wasn't my favourite horn.
Sorry, Lee.
Sorry, Lee.
That's number five.
Okay.
Number four.
As much as I loved this horn from Charles in Bathurst, this was it.
That horn packs a punch.
I like the horn too.
That was one of my favourites, I'll be honest.
It's low.
But he bitched it during car horn chicken, so I've punished him accordingly.
So you like the horn, but because he was a little pussy,
he's been knocked down.
I wouldn't use those words.
Sorry, Charles.
He was on the school pick-up.
He could have frightened the lollipop lady.
Number three, just because I don't want to be accused of favouritism,
is Ian and Coombs with the Bogengate truck horn.
Yeah, I agree.
Solid contender there, Ian.
Let's have another listen.
Yeah, definitely.
And when you're listening to them back all in a quick succession,
this is number three.
Yeah, and also that wouldn't have bothered anyone
because he's so isolated in the country.
Number two.
Sorry, Joe, can you introduce me?
Oh, yeah.
Number two.
Thank you, Joe.
Number two is Jessica with the Kluge in South Australia.
Yes, that was hot.
The horn itself is not that great,
but just that echo of the underground car park.
Yeah, yeah.
Have a listen to the horn.
It was my fave.
If I was in charge, this would have been my number one.
I loved it.
Oh, well, my number one has gone to Ripley in Melbourne.
Yay!
Yeah, I get it.
With the Honda Integra.
Listen to this.
Definitely number one.
Yep, nah, that takes me back.
That is hot.
Ripley, how you there?
Hey, yeah.
You've won.
You have the world's best horn.
Yes, king of horns.
King of horns.
Give us another honk, Ripley.
All right, give me a sec.
Here we go.
Yep, yep.
I like that one.
Amazing.
It's gorgeous.
It sounds like Simpsons Hit and Run, you're right.
Grand Theft Auto, classic video game horn.
And what was it?
The Holden Integra.
Honda.
Honda Integra.
Honda Integra.
That's gorgeous.
Now that I listen to it back, I'm like, oh, what's that number one?
No, we've got to run.
This has been hard.
Take it while you can.
We'll send you an Idja mug as well, Ripley, to say congratulations.
Amazing.
Thank you so much, guys.
Our pleasure.
Honk us out.
Honk us out.
Give us like a tune or something.
Not much of a tune.
His airbag just went off.
Is it just me?
Listening on Spotify, don't forget to leave a five-star rating.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
All right.
Now, remember last week on the podcast, Mitchell Chury,
you made the claim that you're jealous of baby's food.
You think that they've got a better range of options
when it comes to baby food versus adult food.
I just think it's more exciting and they get different textures
and they have pouches and it looks creamy
and yum. Adult desserts,
few and far between. You were very impassioned
about it. This is what you said.
Kids get all the good snacks.
They get all the good food. Rusks?
I'd love to just suck on a stick of
carbohydrate for a day. Yeah, but no one's stopping
you. You can't. Culture. Society
doesn't let me do it.
Well, isn't this your Yes Man era? If I bring in baby food next week, will you try them?
Yes.
Good.
Okay.
But I want sweet ones.
I don't want the savoury, like, mushy peas.
You get what you're given.
And so I did say I was going to bring in some baby food based off our listeners' recommendations.
Well, I've already sucked on half a rusk.
Yes, you have.
How's that going, by the way?
The rusk?
How would you even explain them?
Surprisingly, they, still crunchy.
It's like a cruscut and like a really, really dry biscuit in the shape of a finger.
And what's the purpose of them?
I think it's when babies are teething, their teeth hurt.
So instead of giving them a rubber toy to suck on, you give them a rusk and they kind
of eat it and it gets soft over time.
Right.
So it's just meant to keep their mouth busy.
Is that the point?
Yeah.
Oh my God, you're not meant to bite it like that.
No, you're definitely not.
No. You could have snapped your teeth off. I'm an adult with fully developed canines, so is this meant to keep their mouth busy? Is that the point? Oh my God, you're not meant to bite it like that. No, you're definitely not. No, no.
You could have snapped your teeth off.
I'm an adult with fully developed canines, so I'm okay.
But a toddler should not be biting this.
They can't bite through it.
It also needs salt, sorry, but someone give me some Maldon sea salt.
This is shocking.
There actually is salt over here on Jackie O's desk if you want some.
No, I want more.
Okay, hold on.
I actually got baby music for this.
Let me play this.
Yeah, there it is.
Isn't that gorgeous?
What delectable delicacies do you have for me?
Well, I did ask my sister, like, what's a baby's day on a plate?
Because, you know, she's got three kids.
Day on a plate?
And obviously she starts the day with a breast feed.
And I'm not going to pretend I didn't try and get breast milk for this episode.
But funnily enough, it's hard to come by.
I was actually going to come in here and try and give you breast milk.
Oh, my God.
Jenna, thank God you're not lactating.
Otherwise I would have had to have latched on.
Again.
And so she basically just said, you want some fruit and stuff in the morning.
Okay, nutrients.
At lunch you want a bit of protein and some veggies because she's a healthy mum.
But I did put it out to the idiots as well.
Yeah.
And so they've sent in some recommendations.
And the two most popular recommendations in baby food world.
Pump up the baby music.
Here we go.
I love this music.
Which one do you want to start with?
There's two little pouches of baby food.
One of them is a dessert.
It's like a banana custard.
Ooh.
What's the other one?
It's not savoury, is it?
I don't want savoury. The other one is like a full-on
proper meal mushed into a little pouch.
Oh, I didn't want that. Go with that
one first. I want it like chocolate-rich custard.
No, but my sister said you need to
make sure that they get like a source of protein
in five minutes. Vae, I'm a fully grown man!
Yeah, but you said you wanted to do the
baby food diet, just like your friend.
Okay, I'm in my yes-man era. Okay. So do you want to start with the banana custard? Yeah, yeah, yeah you wanted to do the baby food diet, just like your friend. Okay, I'm in my yes man era.
Okay.
Okay, so do you want to start with the banana custard?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, all right.
That's a bit more of a safe one.
There you go.
All right, pass it to me.
Thank you.
And tell me if that's any way, shape or form different
to normal adult banana custard.
So it's a Heinz banana custard little treat.
It's a little treat for me.
I'd eat six of these.
Now, here's the thing.
This little twisty top, I'm cracking open.
It's fun.
But we have that with adult.
When was the last time you had banana custard?
Never.
Because it's not an option for us.
I think it is.
I think it is.
You can get rice pudding and yogurt, but you can't get banana custard on tap.
I'm sure you can.
I'm really sure you can.
I'm going to Google that.
That's a strong banana.
Now, it says explore a six-month plus, and that's it.
That's right. Yeah, I suppose that is you. You are six month plus. And that's it. That's right.
Yeah, I suppose that is you.
You are six months plus.
Cheers.
Cheers.
What do you think?
Yuck.
That's fantastic.
Is it?
Is it any different to normal?
That is, I am not even embellishing for the show.
That's delicious.
Really?
Do you want to try some?
Do you want to suck at the pouch?
Not really.
Come on, you have to try some.
You've just put your lips on it.
Oh, we've kissed.
Come on.
Just try it.
I'll just kind of pour it into my mouth without making it.
And I didn't get any backsplash.
Go.
It's really yum.
And Jenna, you're next.
Oh, I don't want it.
Oh, he's getting a good amount.
It's delicious.
It's like smoother. There, I don't want it. Oh, he's getting a good amount. It's delicious. It's like smoother.
There's less glug to it, as if a baby can choke on a little glug.
Jenna, come on.
No, I don't want it.
It's yucky.
Oh, don't be fucking hysterical, Jenna.
That's nine out of ten for me.
Yeah, so Rebecca said that that's her son's favourite.
She recommended that in our Facebook group.
Rebecca, thank you, Rebecca.
I'll finish that off, Jenna.
Are you sure you don't want any?
No, I'm good. Okay, so that's the cute, dessert-y one, the sweet one. Rebecca, thank you, Rebecca. I'll finish that off, Jenny. You sure you don't want any? No, I'm good.
Okay, so that's the cute, deserty one, the sweet one.
That's what you were after.
But then obviously everyone in our group is recommending the full-on meal ones as well,
which is just fucked, really.
Like, how can you puree a whole ass chicken and peas?
Can I read it?
Pass it to me.
What is it?
What does it say?
Chicken, peas, and wholemeal pasta.
Look, there's a little photo on there.
It's like a whole ass meal put in this little pouch.
Okay, and this is Rafferty's Garden.
Okay.
This is six months to, okay.
Oh, it's straight off the bat, it's a heavier pouch.
Is it?
It's instantly heavier.
Okay.
I wonder how Katarina Gooses did it, because she lost 10, I'm telling you, she lost 10
kilos in high school on the baby food diet, but she had the little pots.
I think that was pre-pouch days.
That was 2010.
And she had a little spoon.
It was a foldable one, and she would eat the pots of baby food,
and she lost 10 kilos.
We'll come back to that because I've been researching the baby food diet.
I know that you're considering it because it worked for her,
but I reckon A, after you taste this, and B, after I give you the facts.
It just came.
Look.
What?
Like literally a little green nugget came out.
That is gross.
I did not expect that baby food to be green.
Imagine that when the baby shits it out.
Oh, yuck.
It's on the floor now.
I have to get it.
But yes, I reckon after I tell you the pros and cons of the baby food diet
and after you taste that, you'll be off the idea.
Don't tell me you've got catarine and gooses in the green room.
No, I don't know who catarine and goose egg is.
All right, Ravity's Garden, here it goes.
This is chicken, peas and wholemeal pasta.
Not sure where the brown colour comes from, but yeah.
It's more of a greeny poo colour.
It's pasta.
Oh. Oh Oh my.
You sound like you're enjoying it too much, just saying.
No, no, no.
When people can't see your facial expression, they're just hearing this.
No, no.
Oh my.
It's dry.
I'm going again.
For something that's 99% liquid.
Hold on.
That's thick.
You just opened your mouth and I saw it on your tongue.
It is so gross and green.
That's fucking awful.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That's terrible.
It's like Shrek hocked a golly in his mouth.
That's what it looks like.
I'm going back to that rust to just cleanse my palate.
So what does it taste like?
It tastes like... I can't even explain it. Give it here. I want to go. Does it taste like? It tastes like...
I can't even explain it.
Give it here.
I want to go.
Does it taste like...
Oh, you put the lid back on.
When you threw it at me, I died.
I can't tell you.
Does it taste like chicken, peas and wholemeal pasta?
It tastes like the suggestion of chicken, peas and wholemeal pasta.
I hate peas, so this is going to be gross.
Oh, it's so green.
Why is the peas overwhelming?
The Heinz? Yeah, go. is going to be gross. Oh, it's so green. Why is the peas overwhelming? The Heinz?
Yeah, go.
Okay, here we go.
Oh!
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh!
Ew!
Oh!
Ew!
Oh, parents, please don't feed this to your children.
Yeah, if you want baby Jezebel to grow into a smart young woman,
don't feed her Rafferty's garden.
No, that's just cruel.
I'm calling docs if you feed your kids this shit.
Jenna, please try it.
Come on.
I can't.
This is disgusting.
This is cruelty.
Jenna, just have a little bit.
Have a bit.
How do you know you haven't tried it yet?
Jenna, we're not going to.
We will not rest until you have a go.
No, I can't have it.
Just have a bit, Jenna.
I don't want it.
It's yucky.
I've seen you eat far worse. Have you seen the food that she brings to work when she makes her own go. No, I can't have it. Just have a bit, Jenna. I don't want it. It's yucky. I've seen you eat far worse.
Have you seen the food that she brings to work when she makes her own lunch?
No, what is it?
It's like rabbit food.
It's like a whole lettuce and one corner of a chicken schnitzel with tomato sauce.
Really?
Oh, she can't cook for shit.
Jenna, is that true?
I don't eat tomato sauce.
You know what?
I've never actually pictured Jenna eating a meal.
I don't think I've seen her eat.
Is this the moment we find out she's a vampire? Jenna, I've never actually pictured Jenna eating a meal. I don't think I've seen her eat. Is this the moment we find out she's a vampire?
Jenna, I've never seen you eat.
I've seen you eat sweets and treats, but never a full meal.
Barely.
I can't have this.
I've seen you.
You had a little, above Jenna's desk, she's got a trill birdseed on a hook.
No.
Jenna, come on.
Try it.
You have to.
There we go.
Oh, no. That's disgusting. Jenna, come on. We've all You have to. There we go. Oh, no, that's disgusting.
Jenna, come on, we've all done it.
It's bonding.
Team bonding.
All right, lick it.
She's going for it.
Oh, you didn't.
She just touched her tongue with it.
She's acting like she just had a sour warhead.
Just have a bite and then wash it down with your water.
She's acting like she's just had a.
Can I have a tissue?
No.
No, I need a tissue.
No, we're out.
There's a tissue right there.
Well, what a great show to be in, guys.
Can I have a tissue just in case I need to vomit?
What's a tissue going to do?
You sure you don't want to beat her?
She is hysterical.
She acts like we've got a gun to her head.
We're really not traumatising her.
Just try it.
It's pure egg chicken.
Here we go.
She's trying it. Here we go. She's trying it.
Here we go.
Oh, no.
No, that's not.
Yeah.
So how are you feeling about the baby food diet now?
Ew, yuck.
I'm not doing it.
Unless it's pure chicken.
Jenna is keeling over.
It is.
Turn her mic off.
I don't want the whimpering.
So the baby food diet. It's keeling over. Turn her mic off. I don't want the whimpering.
So the baby food diet.
She sounds like a baby.
Yuck.
She just licked it.
Yeah, she didn't actually put it in her mouth.
Katarina Grusin is a lying bitch.
Can I ask, did she keep the weight off?
You said she lost 10 kilos.
This was when we were 15.
She looks good now.
But she probably put it all back on.
She yo-yoed.
So the idea, apparently the baby food diet is you replace two meals with just baby food,
but then you have to have an actual adult meal for either lunch or dinner to make it somehow sustainable because it's not sustainable for long-term weight loss.
It's a bit like a cleanse.
You'll lose it like that, but you'll put it back on as soon as you go back to normal diet.
Got it, got it, got it.
It's severely restrictive, not enough calories.
So you've researched this.
Yep.
It's low on protein and other nutrients.
I mean, have you ever seen like a buff baby?
Hello?
No, no, I haven't.
And it's actually more expensive than real whole foods when you think about it, like
how much food is in here.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, and how much of that got so, yeah.
True, good point.
So I wouldn't recommend it
But I will say
If you're in a pinch
And you want a pudding
It was delicious for a dessert
That banana was great
Come on
Come on
The banana custard
The banana custard was good
Oh yeah it was fine
It was fine
But I wouldn't be replacing meals with that
No no no
God no
Definitely not
Jenna is beside herself
Oh get over it Jenna
Oh it's yucky
Well if any of our listeners
Are currently lactating Please send us your breast milk I'd love for Mitch to try that too Send it, Jenna. Oh, it's yucky. Well, if any of our listeners are currently lactating,
please send us your breast milk.
I'd love for Mitch to try that too.
Send it to P.O. Box, Merida in Sweden.
If we want to do the baby food diet justice,
get a titty milk.
I promise I'm officially done.
It will never be happening again.
So you agree that adult food is better?
I agree, hands down.
There we go.
Well, you can finish it off if you want.
I was wrong.
No, don't throw the pouch at me.
Hey, Jenna, happy birthday.
Don't get it away from me. All right, we're getting pouch at me. Hey, Jenna, happy birthday.
Get it away from me. All right, we're getting out of here.
Thank you for listening, everybody.
Thank you, idiots.
Wow, what a weird week that was.
Remember, if you look at your mum or your dad or your partner this weekend,
just think, are they a or a?
And get back to us because everyone in the world is one of the two.
I've never thought about that.
I'm going to be scanning every face I see from now on.
Oh, you're going to be walking through the city going rat, rat, frog, rat, frog, rat,
frog, frog.
Why don't we do our own version?
Like we'll do pig or what's another animal equivalent to a rat?
Bird.
Pig or finch?
Guinea pig.
Pig or finch.
Pig or cassowary?
Pig or finch. Pig or cassowary. Pig or sparrow.
You know what the most elegant bird in existence is?
An eagle.
No.
The Major Mitchell.
Oh.
They're like a galah, but they're, you know.
They're pink, aren't they?
Yeah, they're pastel pink instead of that foul shade of watermelon red that galahs have.
Yeah, but you know, Major Mitchell would have been an awful man.
He was probably some military, he was the major in the army probably slaughtered millions you know
you're dissing your own name at the same time right yeah but yeah true sorry all right there's
no famous mitchells the bird i want to google who major mitchell was stand by oh god i thought we
were leaving that was so gross no because i want to make sure i'm supporting... Jesus. Oh, Major Mitchell was an explorer.
Here we go.
I'm sure he didn't, you know, commit genocide or anything.
Sir Thomas Livingston...
How do you know that?
You haven't researched him.
Mitchell, 1792.
Shit.
Surveyor and explorer of Southeastern Australia.
Born at Grangemouth.
He took up appointment...
Yeah, boring, boring, boring.
Yeah, I've lost interest.
What did he do?
Oh, the Peninsular War.
Oh, no. He joined I've lost interest. What did he do? Oh, the Peninsular War. Oh, no.
He joined the army in Portugal.
Portugal.
In Portugal.
Portugal.
Is that what you're saying?
In Portugal.
There we go.
He devoted himself to finishing his drawings.
So he went from war to art.
What a pussy.
He's the perfect person.
He's a classic Mitchell.
Yeah, he's a classic Mitchell and perfect for a pussy-like pink bird.
He left the war to focus on his oil pastels.
Excuse me, I need to be discharged from the Portugal War.
I left out my water colours, they'll try up.
Yeah, you can go, Major Mitchell.
Oh, and that bird that just swooped you?
Have it.
You can keep your semi-automatic assault rifles.
I'm going back to my easel.
I'm so glad.
I thought he would have been, you know,
you know what happened when Captain Cook landed.
It was horrific.
So I thought maybe Mitch played a part.
I thought maybe Mitch was involved,
but no, he was a pussy on the ship, on the Endeavour.
And now he's got the most, like,
pathetic little bird named after him.
That's so good.
Oh, classic.
Glad I googled it.
All right.
Thank you for your service, Major Mitchell.
We will see you all next week.
We love you.
Thanks for listening.
Leave us a review.
Five stars.
Thanks, idiots.
We'll catch you soon.
Oh, can't forget.
Sorry, before we go.
What?
You can get me on, how do you pronounce it?
Oh.
Is it?
Yeah.
If you want a double dose of a couple of Mitch's this week,
I've managed to convince Mitch Chury to come and fill in on Trash Alley.
Yeah, I'll be there, baby.
Why the horn?
I don't know.
Can I bring that in with me to Trash Alley HQ?
I mean, I really can't stop you.
No?
But, yeah, so you're filling in on Trash Alley this week.
All right, hey, it's away.
So Wednesday, 7am, only on Spotify.
Yep.
This week's episode of Trash Alley.
I'm on Trash Alley and I'm
very excited. Are you actually?
Yes, of course I'm excited. Because you famously slagged off
the podcast as if it's some sort of threat to you.
But now that I am part of it, I'm
so excited and I think it's a great part of your
career, Mitchell, and I'm so thrilled to be supporting
your podcast. And lesser known
podcast too, Jenna, let's be real.
So it's nice. I can actually claim this as
charity tax back.
So that's why. Well, any idiots that haven't checked out
Trash Alley before, don't worry. You don't have to have
a Spotify subscription. You don't have to pay for it.
Just download the app and then you'll be able
to find the podcast there. Or Trash Alley.
We will see you on Trash Alley. When does that drop?
Wednesday 7am. I did mention that.
Sorry. Major Mitchell's on the screen.

Alright, we love you guys.
Thank you for listening to this show, and we'll see you in a week.

Welcome to ADD Brief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
We wrap up and we say see ya and then we just talk shit.
This is where our ADD runs a bit wild.
Tangents galore.
Oh, it really kicks in.
There's no ADD Brief on Trash Alley.
There's no bit to shit talk.
There's no designated shit talk zone.
But do you like that?
Because AD debrief, we can get a lot off our chest.
No, it's good.
But there's still room for tangents in Trash Alley.
You know?
Yeah.
I had a thought.
You know, Major Mitchell, because he's named the bird, named after someone.
What are other things that are named after famous people that you wouldn't realise?
I've just Googled it.
So apparently Salisbury steak.
What?
Salisbury steak.
What's that? Oh, the brand of steak. No, it'sbury steak. What? Salisbury steak. What's that?
Oh, the brand of steak.
No, it's steak in a beef sauce with gravy.
Oh.
It's like a dish.
I'll get the Salisbury steak.
He's named after James Salisbury.
He was an American physician and a chemist known for his advocacy of a meat-centered diet to promote health.
So they named the Salisbury steak after him.
Oh.
Is that right?
Interesting, yeah.
Omelette is named after Andre Omelette.
Is it?
Really?
The French novelist and poet.
What?
And he started Omelette with truffles and asparagus.

public.
The Jacuzzi Brothers.

They're a modern day Mario and Luigi.
But what's the difference between a jacuzzi and a spa?
Isn't it the same shit?
Yeah, I don't know.

Louis Braille.
Louis Braille.
Yeah.
He's like, what if we just poke some dots?
The Ferris wheel.
Get fucked, George WG Ferris.
That's real.
I love how you act so shocked.
It's like most things probably
were named after the person that invented them.
Do you reckon cameras
were named after Morgan
Camera? It's probably that they don't
have to think too hard. Graham Crackers!
Sylvester Graham!
I could probably guess most of
their names. Oh,
that's really good.
Nine things you didn't know were named after people?
Okay, what were Rusk Six named after?
Betty Rusk.
Probably.
This is dumb.
Look, Macadamia Nuts.
Named after Dr. Ferdinand von Mueller.
Oh, well, now that's a curveball.
I was expecting something like, I don't know, Tiffany Macadamia found them and goes, fuck, they're good.
Put that in a white choc-chip cookie at Subway.
Dr. Ferdinand von Muller, director of the Royal Botanical Gardens, named the genus of the tree after his good friend and colleague John Macadam.
Ah, Macadam.
Oh, this is so...
Nachos!
What was it?
Gary Nachos.
No, Beddress Nachos.

Okay, I'm going to give you the product and you guess who invented it.
Sure.
Tupperware.
Madeline Tupper.
Oh, Elle Tupper.
Close.
Wow.
What do you reckon they'd name the cooms?
What would I ever invent?
The cooms.
I feel like the cooms is a series of lakes.
Hey, you want to go?
You've got two weeks off yet.
Let's go down to the cooms.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, let's get a houseboat and we'll cruise down the cooms.
Oh, you know, Julie, yeah, she's got a nice house down by the cooms.
You can see all the cooms.
Yeah.
What would the cheery be?
The cheery?
Maybe you'll get into optometry and you'll release your own range of cheery-eating glasses.
That's good.
Well, I actually was thinking after watching Celebrity Apprentice, if I married cheery
a pit, she'd be cheery a cheery.
Oh my God.
Yes.
That just wouldn't work.
Inventor of the armpit.
Churri-a-pit.
Sandwich.
Eh?
Sandwich.
What do you think the story behind that is?
I really don't know, but you're going to tell me, aren't you?
Someone named Sandwich.
John Montague was the fourth Earl of Sandwich.
Oh, so it's the town.
Apparently Montague was an avid gambler who would routinely satisfy his hunger with nothing
but a piece of roast beef between two slices of bread.
And he was the Earl of Sandwich, so hence sandwich.
Imagine coming up with that idea.
He would have felt so clever.
What if I don't just eat the bread as a standalone?
I stick some shit in the middle.
Fuck.
Never been done before.
There would have been someone in the world that went, actually, I actually did try that.
I've done that before. He's claiming he invented it. I've been doing that for years., I actually did try that. I've done that before.
He's claiming he invented it.
I've been doing that for years.
I just didn't tell anyone.
Yes, yes.
Absolutely.
He just took credit.
Let's reverse it.
Jules Lyotard.
What did Jules invent?
The Lyotard?
No, the toaster.
Dumb.
Go on, hit me with another one.
Okay.
What do you think, in 1800, Rudolf Diesel invented?
The hammer.
You missed it just by a bit.
Did I?
Yeah.
He invented diesel, the menswear line.
Oh, that makes sense.
This is fun.
I'm running out, to be honest.
Thomas and William Bowler came up with what?

What about Guy Fawkes?
Oh, he invented the Sims money cheat plumb bob.
Yes.
No, no.
Guy planned to blow up the British Parliament in 1605,
so they hung him, and that's where the term Guy came from.
Oi, actually, before you do any more, I just noticed walking around
in the office is that Hannah chick that voices all our ads in the podcast.
Is she?
Oh, my God.
And a major.
Yeah.
We should introduce her to the idiots.
Hannah!
Because they hear her voice all the time, but they don't know her name.
Every time she talks to me in the office, I feel like she's trying
to sell me something.
Hannah, come in here.
Come in here.
Bring her in. Here she comes.
She's here. Sweet.
I wonder if our listeners knew that there was
an actual person in our life that voices those
ads. Hey, team.
Take a seat. You're on mic three.
Hold on. Yeah, still Jenna's mic. Can you just
read an ad live? No, she's on mic
three. Mic three. Mic three. I believe
it's... Yeah. There we go.
Hi, Hannah. Sorry, I just saw you out there and thought I'd bother you.
Talking to there.
Get me in here.
Do a live read that we'd know about.
Can you start every sentence with,
before we get back into the podcast.
Yeah.
We're halfway through today's podcast.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Talking to the mic, talking to the mic.
This is good.
Look, I am so sorry about interrupting you all the time.
And do you know what?

Okay.
It varies. What about- I thought it could be a different guy. Oh. Hard no. Adolf. I didn't know. Okay. It varies.
I thought it could be a different guy.
Oh, I know.
Just pretend like an embalming company has reached out.
Okay.
Like a mortuary.
Okay.
Embalming.
An embalming ad.
Or a funeral home.
What did that actually mean?
Embalming is where if you die, they fill your body with fluid.
They embalm you.
Yeah, I think it's formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde.
I actually did a formaldehyde ad.
What?
You did what?
I'm not kidding. I was also shocked. I'm like, who is vetting this? That's a big word for me to say. Yeah, it's it's formaldehyde. I actually did a formaldehyde ad. What? I'm not kidding.
I was also shocked.
I'm like, who is vetting this?
That's a big word for me to say.
It's a big word.
I also famously couldn't pronounce the word masturbate.
What did you say?
Masturbate.
I said masturbate.
I said it like 80 times.
Why were you having to voice that?
For an ad for like a vibrator.
Oh.
Did you do a Mamma Mia podcast?
Yeah.
Well, my mum. No, actually actually i'm not going to get into
it okay don't get yeah okay why don't why don't we just say beyonce sponsored the podcast okay

Morteen.
Morteen himself, live on stage.
Do you know what it is?
It's Bugs Life 4.
You actually do have a really good ad voice, though.
How did they discover that?
You're just in the building working in the office,
and they were like, she can do it.
That is literally what happened. They're like, go downstairs, get in the booth, make us some and they were like, she can do it. That is literally what happened.
They're like, go downstairs, get in the booth, make us some money.
And now you have to do that every fucking day of your life.
Yeah, it's quite a lot.
I've put some boundaries in.
Anyway, it's so nice to be here.
I was actually wondering that.
I was thinking they must have just asked her once,
can you voice this out?
And now they ask her every time.
Surely at some stage you're going to be like, babes,
am I getting paid?
Usually it's via email with a subject that says favour
and now it's gotten to a point where it's like another favour.
No, but podcast-wise we're sorted now.
Good.
Well, you sound great on our pod.
Yeah.
I love being on your pod.
I'll be back.
Great.
Whether you like it or not.
We'll go to the premiere of Bugs Life on Ice.
Bugs Life on Ice, everyone.
Get down there.
It's pretty funny.
Some people write into it saying, oh, my God, because, like, I think.
Because it's annoying. You know, not even that. You know how sometimes they people write into it saying oh my god because like I think you know not even
that you know how sometimes they're like
it depends on the location like
some people only in Victoria will hear an ad
we got all these messages from Melbourne listeners being like
oh my god I was having a cigarette while
listening to the podcast and there was an anti-smoking ad
Oh sorry about that guys yeah our geo
targeting is spot on
You'll trick our listeners
into smoking
I also you know i have

A real tight package today.
I'm glad we could put a name to the voice.
I agree.
We'll be back next week on the podcast.
We should have gotten her to wrap up.
Learn more about your ad choices.
She's gorgeous too.
All right.
I think that banana pudding is repeating on me.
So I need to go do a childlike poo.
Childlike poo.
It'll be runny and I'll be crying.
And it'll be into my pants.
Wasn't it Colin Poo
that invented the shit?
He did the first shit
in Known to Mankind.
Well, Nancy Nappy, of course,
invented Foxtail.
All right.
Thank you for listening, guys.
Obviously, it was
Prudence Podcast
that invented the podcast.
You know what?
It just hit me.
The only people that get named after things now are celebrities.
Like I remember reading the other day, Taylor Swift,
they discovered a new grub.
I know.
And they named it after.
The scientist was a big Swifty.
So he's like, I'm going to call this foul worm Taylor.
Seriously.
There was another one, RuPaul, because it had a glitter on its back
and it was this awful horned dung beetle.
And they went, hey, someone get Ru on the phone. I know this is the RuPaul because it had a glitter on its back and it was this awful horned dung beetle. And they went, hey, someone get Ru on the phone.
I named this the RuPaul Charlie.
Imagine if someone called this little gross grub after us, the Mitchell.
Imagine if someone called from the CSIRO and went, we went to the depths of the ocean and
we found the ugliest anglerfish we could find and we're naming it the Mitchchurri.
Oh, there's so many whale jokes I could make, but I won't go there.
No, don't go there.
Don't go there.
Because at the end of the day, everyone's either.
Aura, not an anglerfish.
Obviously the whale is named after Geraldine Tic Tac.
Yes.
Yes.
And Nancy Mitsubishi, of course, invented toast.
Oh, God.
I've still got a cough.
Oh, what about Brent Event Cinemas?
The chalkboard.
He invented the chalkboard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Isn't that crazy?
I thought that it was Maribel Chalk that invented that.
Oh, no, she invented...
Nurofen.
Yeah, Nurofen.
What did Paul Michael Wright Aquatic Centre invent?
Oh, rubber tyres.
Oh, yeah.
What did Brooklyn Putt-Putt Golf invent?
Polarised sunglasses, I think it was.
Yeah.
