This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Hello you!
Hello you!
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
Do you want to know a crazy fact that I had a bio scan done at my gym this week?
I've gone from 39% body fat to 24.
When?
Um, last week.
No, when did I ask?
No, when did I ask?
Yeah, I know!
Now, here's Mitch Chully and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Wednesday episode.
We're here.
Hump Day.
In real time, like when this drops.
What are you up to on Wednesday?
Oh, let me check my fucktober calendar that you made for me.
Mitchell, I think we've spoken about this, but Mitchell made me a calendar like he's my beloved.
What's the Wednesday?
The whole motivation behind the calendar was finding availabilities
when we could record the podcast in amongst your tour schedule
and everything, and that didn't work
because we're taking a week off after this week anyway.
Oh, I'm on the Gold Coast.
At the moment you're hearing this, I'm on the Gold Coast.
I'm performing at the Gold Coast Theatre tonight.
And we gave you the option to do the podcast from the Gold Coast. At the moment you're hearing this, I'm on the Gold Coast. I'm performing at the Gold Coast Theatre tonight. And we gave you the option to do the podcast from the Gold Coast,
but then you were like, nah, fuck that.
Absolutely not.
I'm going to need my portable podcast equipment back, by the way.
I lent that to you.
Oh, yeah, I've got that for you.
So you can do it on the road.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
I can get it to you.
You know what?
I've always said if there's somewhere in Queensland I could live,
it would be the Gold Coast.
Why the Gold Coast?
I don't know.
It just has such a nice energy.
It's so relaxed.
People are chill.
The sun is always out.
Property's cheaper.
Everyone's eating acai bowls and green juices.
I love that.
I feel like it would be a gorgeous place to retire.
But if you're our age, you'd be surrounded by gronks.
Oh, yeah.
Like, yes.
Like Love Island watches.
Very that.
Oh, I hate that energy.
Love Island watches is such an insult. It's so scathing. It's a major insult. I would hate it if someoneers. Very that. Oh, I hate that energy. Love Island Watchers is such an insult.
It is.
It's so scathing.
It's a major insult.
I would hate it if someone ever called me that.
You Love Island Watcher.
I was so fucking embarrassed the other day because I went to the Real Housewives of Sydney
premiere.
Uh-huh, yes.
And I got there early by accident.
I was out the front chatting to Kylie Gillies.
Of course.
Channel 7.
Morning show.
Darrow.
Like he was some influencer, I assume from
Love Island fame or something like that. Some
reality show, basically. He rocked
up as well, and
Kylie Gillies had to remind him
who she was. She was like,
yeah, no, we've met. Larry and I have had you on.
We interviewed you, and he just had no memory
of it. I was like, this fucking dope.
That is so embarrassing to him. Fucking rude.
I would have been mortified if Kylie
Gillies had to remind me who she was. Of all people.
Can I just say, give her her flowers.
She's always so kind and warm. Oh no,
she's great. She's such a superstar. I love her.
I love Kylie. She was in my Hot Girl Walk
merch announcement video. When?
She did, um, it was in April.
When did I?
No, no, no. I love that
you graciously let me finish the joke now.
I know, I do.
And Prizekeeper Jenna's here.
Hello.
Speaking of TV icons, hi, Jenna.
Yes, hello, hello.
Thank you for having me.
You did intern on Studio 10.
No, Easter show.
Oh, God.
We spoke about this on fucking Monday and we're not bringing it back up.
But I was on Studio 10 because I was interning, so I was herding goats.
Of course you were.
Yeah.
And you herd us two goats every week.
Yeah.
Really? She banded us course you were. Yeah. And you herd us two goats every week. Yeah. Really?
She banded us half the time.
Yeah.
True, you've been so MIA.
I have.
You haven't put in any sick leave.
She's hardly the best shepherd around here.
It's true.
You're a shit shepherd.
What can I say?
Oh, God.
Geronimo.
Yeah.
Hey, Geronimo.
Fucking the shepherd.
Anyway.
What was the purpose of the bent stick?
You know how shepherds have the stick that curves at the top?
Is that to hook their necks?
I didn't say anything about that.
I just said it's a hook.
No, it's to herd the goats and stuff.
All of a sudden, you both work for fucking Peter.
Like, I'm not insinuating we do it, but I'm just asking.
You don't just go around throttling sheep for no reason.
But you're not going to yank it.
You're just grazing.
They're covered in lamb's wool.
They're fine.
Well, Pricekeeper Jenny, you're the official Googler of things.
Can you find out what's the point of a hook on a shepherd's hook?
Mitchell, she's stopped bringing in her laptop.
She's now Googling on her phone.
It's here.
It's there.
It's disclosed for some unknown reason.
Of course.
God forbid you're asked to do the one purpose you're here for.
Shepherd's hook.
Don't document it as you Google.
That defeats the purpose.
Okay, so they're symbols associated with the ancient Egyptian god Osiris.
How boring.
So it actually doesn't have any function, the hook, specifically.
No, no.
They're just symbols.
I don't accept that answer.
I'm going to Google, why do shepherds carry hooks?
I don't accept that answer.
I'm going to Google, why do shepherds carry hooks?
It's the crook as a symbol of power, guardianship or prestige.
Oh, it's called a crook. So it's actually just not functional.
No.
Oh.
How boring.
Yeah, that's weird.
Yeah.
I was really expecting something good.
How disappointing.
Not that that wasn't good, but I was expecting something actually beneficial.
Something better.
Yeah.
Don't let that set the tone for today's episode.
No.
Because we've got Talkback Tings returning.
Oh, my God, Talkback Tings.
My favourite.
And I've discovered the world's most wholesome talkback radio show.
I'm going to put it on record.
Well, we often in Talkback Tings ridicule straight white old men.
And they're cranky.
And they're grumpy.
They're always talking about some sort of-
And their opinion, I know.
Yeah, it's a conflict that's pissed them off or something menial.
They're pissed off about parking.
You know, like something dumb.
Roundabout.
Yeah, coal seam gas.
So we are talking about, I haven't heard this, but it's the most wholesome show, is it?
In my humble opinion, yes.
Interesting.
Well, if I trust anyone's opinion on talkback shows, it's you.
As do I.
You're the king of talkback.
And we've also got the jingle on the way today.
Oh, my God.
Big show today.
Massive show.
The jingle is going to be groundbreaking.
We haven't done a jingle since like the very start of the show.
Remember we were doing jingles way back when?
Oh, now we have to do.
It's been a long time.
We used to just do stupid shit like coming up with a jingle for trees.
But this time it's our new phone number, the text line.
Yeah.
Because, fuck, it took me ages to memorise it.
You've got no hope of memorising it.
Absolutely not. But catchy jingles, surely. Yeah've got no hope of memorising it. Absolutely not.
But catchy jingle, surely.
Surely that'll cement in people's brains.
Yeah, roving reporter Oscar's lent us his voice and we'll chat to him later in the show.
He will appear to help us choose our new jingle.
I already know which one I want to win, just saying.
Well, I've got my thoughts.
We actually did a poll in the Enduring Idiots, our Facebook group, too.
So we've taken everything into account.
Yes.
All right, should we start the show?
Yeah, let's get into it.
If it's your first time listening, we start every show with an Is It Just Me? Something
we've noticed, hate or appreciate. Let's kick it off with a listener today. We've got Aaron
on the phone with an Is It Just You. Hello, Aaron.
How's that?
Hi.
How are you? How long have you been listening to the show?
Since the beginning.
Wow.
Oh, really? I love that. And it's taken you this long to think of? Since the beginning. Wow. Really? I love that.
And it's taken you this long to think of, and is it just me of your own?
Okay.
I've thought of them, but I'm just like, oh, they're no good, or I've heard that before.
Oh, so you've got high hopes for today's one.
You think, I'm backing it in.
This is a fucking good one.
Yes.
I can't wait to hear it.
It's an attractive voice.
I always feel like our listeners have hot voices.
Don't you think it's a hot voice?
You can tell my husband that, Ben.
Oh, right.
Oh, wow.
So sorry.
I'm just complimenting you.
It's a nice voice.
Oh, the laugh is ugly.
All right, Adam.
I'm joking.
Bradley will count you in, then hit us with your regim, okay?
Great.
Is it just me or is it weird to take photos at an open casket funeral well i mean it sounds like a real personal thing i've never been to an open casket funeral and touch wood i don't
have to go to one i was following through facebook and i saw this really cute pose it was about this
mom posting saying that her son had passed away and his best friend was his dog.
And it was a photo of the dog to the open casket.
I've seen this post.
I think I've seen this as well.
I've seen this.
And the dog, yes, it was that trend where you'd put up a photo of your dog
as a puppy, then you'd swipe, and it was an old dog.
But then this was a photo of a boy and a puppy, and then they swiped,
and the boy had died.
But the dog was old and lying next to his body.
But the one I saw, the casket was blurred out.
Yeah, no, not in this one.
Oh, yeah.
I think that's a thing.
Why am I also Googling it?
Because I kind of want to see it.
It seems like an invasion of privacy.
When I immediately saw it, I was just like, it's really cute.
I get it.
But at the same time, there's a time and place for a nice
photo opportunity. Especially if this
photo's apparently gone viral.
Oh my god, this photo's everywhere. You'd be there that month where you take a
photo of someone's corpse. Totally.
But I don't even get the benefit of an open
casket. Neither. No. I understand
that some people find it healing and it's
tradition in some faiths, but I don't.
You do have the option to view the body before.
Like family and stuff.
Yeah, I don't want everyone else to see it.
Yeah.
And then they put makeup on the corpse and everything.
Yeah.
And they do their hair.
I'd be so stressed from beyond the grave watching as a ghoul someone try to do my hair.
I wouldn't trust anyone else doing my hair. Neither would I.
I've got this down to a fine art.
Like if it's not done with a Dyson hypersonic I don't want them to touch it
They need a rounded brush
And they need to put in my V.S. Sassoon hair
Moose on wet hair after a shampoo
No condition
If it's not those circumstances
Then fuck off
Have any of you been to a viewing?
Yes
Was it one of your victims?
Not this time
It was my auntie
And I asked to see it. Oh, you would?
Yes. Oh, of course. But did other families
see it? She's numb to dead bodies by now. She's seen
thousands at her own hand. I asked
and my mum said, are you sure? And I said
yes and she came along as well. That's nice
and it was closure. Yes. Was it?
Yep. Okay, interesting. Yes.
But she looked like she was
sleeping. Wow. It's really...
Well, they put makeup on and they also can put chemicals in your body to make it look
pigmented.
They do.
And the thing is, my aunt hated makeup and stuff, but they put makeup on her.
You're like, she's never looked better, actually.
It was actually a bit funny because she would have laughed as well if they put makeup on
her.
Oh, that's sweet.
That's sweet.
But then posting a photo of it, taking a photo and putting it to Facebook, different story.
I wouldn't.
I would never take a photo.
I don't like that at all.
No.
I don't think that's common practice.
All right, Aaron.
Well, we're all on your side here.
We think it's vile and disgusting.
Thank you.
No worries.
Well, tell your husband we said hi.
Does he listen to the show as well?
I make him sometimes.
Oh, does he not like it?
He's not a huge podcast listener or doesn't really have the time to listen to podcasts
because he studies full-time and that sort of stuff.
Oh, yeah, you can't listen to a podcast while you study.
You're right.
I was going to say, the beauty of it is that you can multitask, mate, but no.
Not this show as well.
No.
We're just so engaging.
Yeah, it's very cerebral.
All right, well, congratulations, Aaron.
Message Pricekeeper Jenner and we'll get you a prize.
On our Instagram.
We'll do.
Yeah, no worries. Yeah, send her a DM. Thank you. Thanks, Aaron. Message Pricekeeper Jenner and we'll get you a prize. On our Instagram, a couple of minutes.
Yeah, no worries.
Yeah, send her a DM.
Thank you.
Thanks, Aaron, in the Sunshine Coast.
What a sweetheart.
Now, if you want to come on with an Is It Just Me of Your Own,
like we said, you can DM at a couple of minutes or send us a text.
This could potentially be the last time I ever have to say this number.
Oh, yeah.
0422 948 202.
Yeah, the last time because we will officially,
as of the end of this episode,
have a jingle to play every single show.
That's right.
We'll do that in a little bit.
But first, should we get into Talk Back Tings?
Yeah, it's been a while.
Let's jump in.
Yes, Talk Back Tings is where we bring you
the weird and wonderful bullshit that you hear on Talk Back Radio
because, as I always
say, I doubt people in our age bracket are listening to Talkback Radio.
So they miss a lot of the gold.
Well, the first time I really did was with you in your car.
We went on a road trip and I listened with you for like two hours because we were going
to your sister's.
It's just on in the background and occasionally I'm like, shh, turn it up.
Oh, I can hear some cooked old dog calling up to the station.
100%.
We record it and we play it on the show,
and it's been one of our most requested and one of our most favourite.
It's my favourite.
It's my personal favourite.
I'm so sorry I've been depriving you lately, Jenna.
Thank you.
I've not been listening to much talkback.
Thank you.
Of course, this segment has brought you some iconic moments
like this one from John Laws.
Ring Pike's Nurseries.
What nursery?
Pike's.
P-Y-K-E-S.
P-Y-A.
K as in kill.
P-Y-E.
K!
Yeah, but today we're not making fun of cranky old men on Talkback Radio,
which is what typically you imagine of a Talkback Radio station, right?
You've got your fucking Alan Joneses.
Totally.
Ray Hadley.
Yeah, people like that talking about politics and boring shit, frankly,
and taking phone calls.
So today I'm actually talking about possibly the most wholesome
talkback radio show I've heard in my life.
You've said this, and I don't quite know what to expect
because when I think talkback radio, I don't think wholesome family radio.
Not at all.
I think political, intense talk discussions that go for fucking ever.
Yes.
So when I was in Brisbane for my comedy show, I tuned into 4BC,
which is their local radio station.
I like to come in a different city, just get a flavour of their local media.
Good to support them.
It's also the year the mammoths died out, 4BC.
It never actually occurred to me that that's before Christ.
It is.
It's right before Christ, yeah.
And so, yep, tune into 4BC, which is their equivalent of 2GB in Brisbane.
Got it.
So the shock jockey news station.
Talk of current affairs.
Yes, but instead of shock jocks, I heard Laurel, Gary and Mark.
Oh, I love them.
Oh, my God.
I met her. I met Laurel the other night at the radio awards. Laurel is Gary and Mark. Oh, I love them. Oh, my God. I met her.
I met Laurel the other night at the radio awards.
Laurel is so lovely.
Well, there you go.
She's fucking lovely.
She's a sweetheart.
She said she loved my work.
And I said, thank you, Laurel.
Oh, did she?
Yes.
She won Hall of Fame.
Yeah, she did.
Yes.
Very good.
And if her speech was anything to go by, this will be an interesting show.
It will be.
Jenna, there was a 15-minute speech.
I think we timed it.
It went for 20.
Too much.
Oh, really?
And it was supposed to be seven minutes.
Yeah, the ACRAs, as in the radio awards, they're famously quite punchy.
Yes.
And we're all broadcasters.
We all know how to keep it tight and bright.
Well, don't besmirch my laurel because after listening in Brisbane,
I've actually fallen in love with this show.
But is there context? Because was she not originally on a talk station? That's the thing. Well, don't besmirch my Laurel because after listening in Brisbane, I've actually fallen in love with this show.
But is there context?
Because was she not originally on a talk station?
That's the thing.
So they're kind of adored in Brisbane.
They've been on air for like decades, Laurel, Gary and Mark. They were on 4KQ.
Correct.
They were on 4KQ.
And 4KQ was owned by this radio network and they had to sell 4KQ,
which meant Laurel, Gary and Mark were out of a job.
Wow.
And they were doing like a classic hits,
Jonesy and Amanda style show, like just light entertainment,
fluffy, play some old fucking people music.
Yeah.
That's all it is.
Totally.
And so when they lost their jobs because they're so well loved,
4BC snapped them up.
However, some might argue that it's a bit of an odd fucking fit for 4BC.
Oh.
They got a lot of complaints from their listeners when Laurel, Gary and Mark took over the breakfast show
because they're used to hearing,
grrr, coal seam, gas, fucking, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shop dogs talking about-
The voice to parliament.
Talking about news stuff, right?
Yeah.
That's not what they're getting with Laurel, Gary and Mark.
Right.
So it would be like Hope FM,
the local Christian radio station in Australia,
poaching Is It Just Me to be
their drive-time show. It'll be like Hamish and
Andy hosting ABC News. Okay.
Bit of a weird fit, but honestly, I was
all about it. I fucking loved listening
to Laurel, Gary and Mark when I was there.
So the sort of topics they're doing, they're not
talking about Israel and Palestine.
They're talking about this sort of shit.
4BC, Laurel, Gary and Mark, good morning and welcome to the show.
They just don't make them anymore like they used to.
We are talking about the Bickies.
Ice Vovo's.
Apparently not what they used to be.
Aussies are getting pretty fired up about this because it is the country's most beloved biscuits.
One of them.
133882, what is a biscuit that you've noticed that is not what it used to be?
Joy is on the line from Ipswich.
Joy, which one have you noticed?
Hi, my favourite used to be ginger nuts.
Oh, yeah.
What's the problem with ginger nuts?
Well, ginger nuts now aren't even worth dunking because they just melt.
They can fit a whole ginger nut
in your mouth now.
Oh, they used to be big.
They're verging on the size
of a 50 cent piece.
No. Really?
Yep.
That used to be like a coaster size.
They were quite reasonable.
They were like wagon wheels,
isn't it? But you won't go there.
It's not a perspective thing, is it?
As you've got older and bigger, they've got smaller.
No, nothing like that.
No, I don't have that perspective.
I was worried for you there.
Well, in your mouth, that's okay.
No, no, don't worry.
No, no, no.
But, yes, quite a few friends have commented,
and it's very annoying because a packet of ginger nuts
used to last a while.
Now a packet of ginger nuts will last about 10 minutes.
By God, they can take my dignity, but they can't take my biscuits.
Oh, no, you pretty much took your own dignity.
Let's not mention the Kingston's.
Hey, the chocolate in the middle?
There's hardly any in there now.
The shortbread creams?
It's Belinda Carlile.
This is Summer Rain.
I'm 4BC.
This could literally be Jonesy and Amanda.
Yeah.
I'm hitting shit there.
And they're still playing music on the show,
which is not what tour pack stations do.
I'm glad they tackled that.
Thank God.
Can I just say, not one of them went to the place of ginger nut jokes.
Ginger nuts, ginger nuts in your mouth.
He literally said ginger nuts in your mouth.
Well, they're too wholesome for that.
Yes.
Anyway, I thought I would test the theory about that, by the way,
because I'm a fucking whore for a ginger nut.
I've not noticed anything.
Wait, I was literally just thinking, fuck, they've actually sold it.
I want to eat one.
Yeah, me too.
I got that.
And I got some iced vovos because Laurel's claiming
that they're not what they used to be.
Okay, pass the mic.
We can be the judge of that.
So these aren't Ice Vovo's.
For the international listeners, an Iced Vovo is an Australian icon biscuit.
It's like a shortbread with pink icing.
Like jammy?
Yeah, well, it's got pink icing and then a strip of jam through the middle
and then desiccated coconut on top.
Sorry, but this ginger nut is bigger than a 50 cent piece.
That's way bigger than a 50 cent.
What about when he insinuated that she just fucking chopped it on?
I know.
Fucking rude.
Hey, Joy, seeing as you're obese, is it possible that actually the biscuits look tiny to you?
I'm going to try an ice vovo.
I think they're...
See, the ice vovos, I think they're onto something.
They're very flat now.
You used to be able to pick off individual marshmallows,
but now it's just like a smear of paste.
She'll taste the same, though.
Does it?
Well, I'm going to test the ginger nut because I bloody love...
Test this too.
Can I have a ginger nut?
Yeah, yeah, here you go.
I got the vovos.
Yeah.
I bloody love anything ginger.
Fucking gingerbread men. Oh, yum. Gingerbread houses. Gingervos. Yep. I bloody love anything ginger. Fucking gingerbread men.
Oh, yum.
Gingerbread houses.
Ginger kisses.
Yum.
Don't even get me started.
I love some ginger.
Ginger.
So I'm going to see if the ginger nut is what I remember because admittedly I've not had
one for freaking years.
Oh, God.
I've never had one.
It is disintegrating.
Is it?
Yeah.
I dunked it in my tea.
It's very hard.
That's the beauty of it, Jenna.
It's not like I remember.
But very firm.
That's exactly how I remember it.
Jenna can't even snap it with her feeble fingers.
Jenna's trying with all her might.
She can't snap the biscuit.
This is an edible item, by the way, guys.
I'm going to eat it with my back molars.
Ready?
Just don't eat into the mic, please.
People hate that.
Wow.
I can't do it.
Jenna, we're going to wait until you've snapped a ginger nut.
Jenna!
I really can't.
Why don't you karate chop it?
Oh, my God.
Honestly, in my opinion, the ginger nut is exactly the same,
but I'm not as old as what's-her-face that rang up to Laurel,
Gary and Mark, am I?
You know what?
There's something quite endearing about that kind of radio.
Do you want to hear some of the other phone topics that they're
tackling on that show?
Yes.
Okay, the downfall of the bicky was talk topic one.
Yes.
Here's just a few other things I've spoken about.
What stamps have you collected? Oh, good one. Give us Bickey was talk topic one. Yes. Here's just a few other things I've spoken about.
What stamps have you collected?
Oh, good one.
Give us a call, Laurel, Gary and Mark.
How would you answer that?
The Queen?
One with a platypus on it?
And then what are they going to go?
Prove it.
Yeah.
What books have you... I did it!
Oh, she did it.
She broke it after what felt like 10 minutes.
What books have you donated to Vinnies?
Oh, that's a good one.
Because I recently went to Vinnies and I bought a cat book.
But what have you donated?
I haven't donated anything, but I did buy somebody else's donation.
Did you regret it?
No.
What about what's your favourite big thing?
That was one of their topics, as in like the big banana, the fucking, you know.
It's hard eating shit.
Interesting radio. It's clearly gothitting shit. Interesting radio.
It's clearly got an audience.
Do they rate well?
Well, yeah, that's why 4BC snapped them up when they were going begging.
I mean, like I said, they're adored in Brisbane.
People love them.
But existing 4BC listeners that tune into that station for the news
and politics and hard-hitting shit are like,
who are these fucking clowns?
Yeah.
Here's an example of a comment that they've gotten.
Just like, I am now listening to 2GB in Sydney on the app and I'll listen to Neil Breen
in the afternoon, but I can't listen to 4BC anymore.
Those three are just too much first thing in the morning.
They should be on an FM station.
Oh my God.
Oh, come on.
Well, that's brutal.
Do you think that's mirrored by the rest of the audience?
They all feel the same?
Yeah.
Like when they first joined,
that was the sort of backlash they were getting.
So is there three of them in there?
There's three hosts.
Yes.
Did you think Gary and Mark were one person?
No, I was just like, Laurel, Gary and Mark. In my head, I don't know.
I was just picturing one woman and a man.
Laurel, Gary.
That's her name.
Yeah, Laurel, Gary and Mark.
That's what I was thinking.
Personally, I actually can't tell Mark and Gary apart.
Yeah, I agree.
Maybe they are the same fucking person.
Their voices sounded exactly the same as well.
I wonder if we have that problem, Mitchell,
if anyone thinks you and I are the same.
Surely not.
They would have figured it out by now.
If anything, it would be Jenna and me.
No, thank you.
We need a talk session at breakfast.
There are plenty of music stations as it is.
Oh.
Oh, shut up.
Sassy.
I can listen to Queen on Spotify.
I don't need it on my radio. Disappointed. Oh, shut up. Sassy. I can listen to Queen on Spotify.
Don't need it on my radio.
Disappointed.
Oh, be quiet.
They'd still be listening for sure.
Of course.
So, yeah, a lot of grumpy old fucking boomers in Brisbane don't like Laura Gary-Mark, but I think they're an absolute treasure.
I do too.
I completely agree with them, to be honest.
Maybe I should check in on John Laws.
It's been a while.
Maybe I should listen to his podcast, see how he's doing,
because we've not ripped him to shreds on this podcast.
Sorry, no, not ripping to shreds.
He's a friend of the show now.
He is a friend.
What I meant to say was highlight some of his work.
Correct.
It's merely an air check, as we say in the industry.
We're listening to just check in on a colleague of ours.
Welfare check.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's a welfare check.
Oh, my God.
He's been flirting with death for years.
My God, no.
Is it just me?
The rude shocks of young adulthood.
This is it.
It's happening.
Really hyped this whole thing up.
The moment that everyone's been waiting for.
Everyone on earth.
I was walking by the street and people were shaking in their boots going,
when are you announcing it?
And I said, on Wednesday's episode, relax.
It feels like Australian Idol.
We're down to the final two.
Oh, my God.
It's true.
Our jingle will be crowned today.
Correct.
The jingle for our new text line so that everyone listening right now
eventually remembers it.
Yeah.
I want it to be stuck in people's heads all day, every day.
I agree because we talk about this text line every week.
We always forget.
It's in the show notes.
It's a bit of a mess.
So this just eliminates all stress every time we mention it.
I would suggest you don't say we always forget.
Well, no.
I got there eventually.
You did.
I memorized it.
I never put in the time nor the effort to remember it.
No.
So this is really benefiting me.
But it will sound good.
It'll sound nice.
It will.
All you have to do is press play.
So our fourth wheel, the newly appointed Roving Reporter, Oscar, came over
to my place yesterday. We recorded two jingles. And let's bring him in now to show them off
to you two. Oscar, come on in. Hello, Oscar, Roving Reporter. Welcome. Welcome. Hello.
Oh, darlings, my love. Take a seat. Is his mic on? Yeah, it's mic's on. It's all ready to go.
Hello.
Oh, he's on the little chair.
I'm on the little chair.
I'm a bit tall.
What's going on?
Well, you're quite tall.
You probably don't need to sit up that high because look at the mic.
You're so far away from it.
I just wanted to be dainty for once in my life and, you know.
Oh, there we go.
There you are.
That's working.
Oh, that's lovely.
You've still got some Milo on your cheek.
You've got to get it off from the flurry.
Oh, no, I haven't showered.
Yes.
I don't think it's Milo.
In about four weeks.
Can I just say, I'm at direct eye level with Jenna
and it is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever experienced
because Jenna and I have never been at the same height.
This is really interesting.
You've never been at the same level either,
but we can discuss that later.
No, I've always stooped lower.
Yes. He's the fourth wheel for aed lower. Yes, that's right.
He's the fourth wheel for a reason.
There is a pecking order.
There's a hierarchy.
The two of you have been working tirelessly to record these jingles
and we have options.
Yes, so there was two out of all the ones that our listeners suggested
and the ones that we brainstormed ourselves, Mitchell.
Yes, in my bedroom last week.
We recorded the Friends theme song.
Yep, people love that.
And Because of You by Kelly Clarkson.
Okay, and the Friends theme song is the Rembrandts, correct?
Yeah, I'll be there for you.
I'll be there for you.
I would like to add that during the recording process last night,
I did have this cranky slut neighbour of mine come over and make a complaint.
What?
Wait, seriously?
Yeah, no, she knocked on the door and so we just
went silent. I was like, maybe
she'll know that we took the hint and that's enough.
I didn't answer the door.
And then
again. Yeah. And then
I went and answered the door and she goes, oh,
you scared me. I was like, bitch,
you desperately wanted my attention.
What is it? And so she said,
can you just keep the singing to a minimum?
Oh.
But we were done by that point.
So we got it in the cam and there were several points
while we were recording these jingles.
Yeah.
We just looked at each other and went, oh, that was beautiful.
Absolutely.
That was fucking stunning.
Well, no, because Oscar, you can sing and you too are.
And you've been around.
You perform at local venues.
I do, yeah.
So these, we're going to play them now.
Yes.
I would also like to add that I posted them to my Instagram last night
as we were recording them.
Yeah.
And I did a poll, but I blocked both of you.
Yeah.
I want you to hear it for the first time here and now.
All right.
So give us the results of the poll.
No, I'll do it after.
Oh, we'll hear the songs.
Okay, fair.
Let's make it fair.
We'll kick off with the Friends theme
song, I reckon. Yeah. Okay. This is option
number one for our new jingle.
Sung by Oscar Kirk. This is Oscar's
debut jingle. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for coming
to my jingle listening party. No worries.
Thank you so much. Lovely to be here. It's almost like
a viewing party, just no one's dead.
It's referencing Aaron's call. That's right.
Here we go.
It's referencing Aaron's call.
That's right.
Here we go.
I'm sorry, but is that harmony at the end,
did that not just sound exactly like the Friends theme song? Yeah.
I am so impressed right now.
I felt like Jennifer Aniston, I want the Rachel.
Yes.
I am so in New York City.
I want to be near that fountain.
Did you do layers of different stems?
Is that what they call it in the industry?
There's like a three-part harmony in that.
And we were recording it and I went into that thinking,
I don't want this one to win.
I don't want this jingle.
I like the other one better.
But then after we recorded it, we were like, actually,
that's kind of fucking beautiful.
We nailed that.
I don't think it's fair.
I think we have to play that one more time.
Yeah, go on.
Oh, yeah, go on.
We better.
We're not just going to play it once if it doesn't win.
So this is jingle option number one.
Listen to the ins and outs, okay, and the vocals from Oscar.
No!
Oh, for double two.
No, for A202.
Oh, for double two.
No, for A202.
I really like it. Like, I'm loving that. I don't want it to win, but I can't like it.
Like, I'm loving that.
I don't want it to win, but I can't deny it.
That was fucking impressive.
It was absolute.
I mean, look, we both went into it last night being like,
absolutely not, it's not us, it's not camp, it's not this. It is straight.
It's so straight.
It is straight culture.
And then the more we did it, and obviously, you know,
you do a couple of takes, and there was that moment
where we both looked at each other and went. When I added all the lays together in that last bit the two when i added
that together i just went it has to be this yeah that was nice all right let's hear what it's
competing against yeah so the next option is more of a power ballad okay it's because of you by kelly
clarkson oh my god and this to his own admission, this is a little out of Oscar's range,
but he fucking gave it his all and I think he nailed it.
All right, here we go.
Option two, Oscar's premiere jingle.
This one is very dramatic for no reason.
That's why I love it.
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it. 422-948-202
042-948-202
042-948-202
042-948-202 042
948
202
042
948
202
Is it just you?
Oh
422 948 Send us a text, please.
I mean, that is, I have to say.
I've got to applaud that.
Thank you, because that killed me.
It would have.
That killed me last night.
There were a couple of points while recording that one
that I had to edit out just a vape cough.
Yeah.
You'd be like, oh, fuck.
Thousand percent by my own admission.
That would have been challenging singing that high.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, we can't.
It's 56 seconds.
We can't play that every episode.
No, no, no.
It's too long. That can't play that every episode, though. No, no, no. It's too long.
That's the full theatrical dramatic version.
That's the album version.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's the album version.
Wow.
But when it comes to like every week playing the sweeper,
it'll just be a little, a bite from the chorus.
Yeah.
Wow, this is so dramatic.
I mean, okay, so what did the poll say?
What are the listeners wanting?
Yeah, I want to know.
No, I think, can we just listen to that one again?
Yeah.
My favourite part is at the start when he just goes,
double two.
It's like some random kid from like the ensemble of Annie
just came in like out of nowhere.
Totally, so extra.
Double two.
Okay.
And like listen with headphones on for this.
Like, again, harmonies, stunning.
Yeah, okay.
Define. this like again harmonies stunning yeah okay divine oh
four two two nine four eight two zero two 422948202 422948202
422948202
422948202
Is it just you?
Yeah.
Ready?
Four, double two.
Five, four, eight, two, zero, two.
That's got my vote.
I don't give a fuck.
I think that's fantastic.
I think we need to discuss the implications of this.
Can we be sued by either the Rembrandts or Kelly Clarkson?
No, it's a cover.
The Rembrandts can't afford a lawyer.
And Kelly's too busy.
She's doing 101 things.
It's fair game if you're doing a parody of it.
True.
Because if that was the case,
then all of those crap parodies on YouTube would all be ripped.
Like courts. Before we vote, what does the audience say? Yeah, true. Because if that was the case, then all of those crap parodies on YouTube would all be... Be ripped. Ripped.
Like, courts.
Before we vote, what does the audience say?
What do the idiots think?
So, firstly, people were blown away by Oscar's voice.
Congratulations.
Understandably.
You're going to Hollywood.
Thank you so much.
So I posted them in the same order.
Friends first, and then Because of You, the Kelly Clarkson one.
And people were like, I thought I was going to vote for the Friends one,
but now that I've heard the second option,
that one, the number is way clearer.
Because in the Friends one, it's,
Not for A202.
That's a bit rushed, whereas it's very clear,
the Kelly Clarkson one.
And I just like the unnecessary melodrama of it.
It's so ridiculously melodramatic, it works.
I think it's perfect for the show. It's so ridiculously melodramatic it works.
I think it's perfect for the show.
It's also, Kelly is so queer coded.
It feels more us.
I think Friends is, come on.
It's fucking low rent, Friends.
Can we just let Friends die?
I agree.
I've never really seen a season.
It's not for me.
I've watched a couple of episodes scrolling through Nine Gem and I've gone, what was it, Goat?
One or the other.
That's Nine Honey.
Nine Honey.
Nine Honey.
Nine Goat.
Nine Jacket.
I've tried and it's just never been for me.
Nine Coriander.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's on Nine Curry.
Nine Salsa.
Yeah.
All right, so what did the audience say?
Do we have percentages?
Yes, we do.
So initially when we posted it in the Facebook group,
it was the Friends theme song by a landslide.
But at that point we were just putting it forward as a hypothetical.
Yes.
So if you looked at the Facebook group poll,
everyone voted for Friends as a concept.
Yeah.
But then once I posted Oscar actually singing it,
all of a sudden in the Facebook group, it was 50-50.
People must have jumped on and voted for the music.
They changed.
Whereas the poll on my Instagram, it's Kelly all the way.
60 fucking percent.
Stop it.
Well, listen, I'm going to vote because I like a jingle and I think it's punchy.
What do you think of the Friends one, just generally speaking?
I love it.
I think it's fantastic. And for that reason, that is why I think it's punchy. What do you think of the Friends one, just generally speaking? I love it. I think it's fantastic.
And for that reason, that is why I am voting for the Friends.
What?
I'm voting for Friends.
Really?
And then you're voting for, Mitchell?
Well, duh, Kelly.
Well, Kelly.
Hang on.
We've had another bad rain moment because you were just saying that the Friends one
was not suitable.
How dare you turn your back on us?
Potentially, and also so I can do this.
Jenna decides.
I mean, really.
It's been a while since we've had to play this card,
which if you read the Constitution of Idjim,
it is that if Mitch and I are not at level heads,
if we can't agree on something, we have to go to our third wheel.
And, of course, that means that...
Jenna decides.
She often fucks it.
No, I don't.
Her decisions aren't always great.
They're always great.
And we can't fight it.
That's written in the law.
It's in the Constitution.
I'm so excited.
I've never seen a Jenna decides in person.
I know many people try to see it happen, but it's very spontaneous.
It's rare.
You're team Kelly, right?
Obviously.
Yeah, I figured as much.
But your vote, unfortunately, isn't binding.
That's right. As the fourth wheel, you've got to be third and above. No, that's fine. I've got to work my way Obviously. Yeah, I figured as much. But your vote, unfortunately, isn't binding. That's right.
As the fourth wheel, you've got to be third and above.
No, that's fine.
I've got to work my way through.
He's not on the board.
Definitely not.
We rubbed it out with a rubber.
You're in the committee and you do great work with the canteen.
Thank you.
But just not there yet.
All right, Jenna, hit us.
What are you thinking?
So coming into this, I thought one would be better than the other,
as in I had a preconceived idea of one being better.
Got it.
But after hearing it, I've changed my mind.
Wow.
I've got to give it to Kelly Clarkson.
Oh, thank God.
It's done it.
Jenna is an ally after all. Do you know? I thought I was stressing. Oh, same God. It's done it. Jenna is an ally after all.
Do you know?
I thought I was stressing.
Oh, same.
Play it again.
Congratulations.
Let's play it out, our new jingle.
There it is.
Very orphan Annie, I get that.
Yeah, I feel it.
Congratulations.
0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2.
Sing it if you know the words.
0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2
0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2
0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2
Is it just you?
You've got to get the four.
Four.
202
8202
You'll never forget the number again, everyone.
Oh, that's brilliant.
Beautiful.
We have a new jingle for our text line.
I love it.
Wow, the drama is high.
Without singing, Mitch, do you know the number off by heart now?
0425, 0422, 508, 202.
Okay.
Because you nailed the lyrics when you were singing it,
but now you can't remember it.
0422, 948, 202.
There we go.
Yeah, we remember that the jingle's worth it. There we go. Yeah.
We remember that the jingle's worth it.
That's right.
Yeah, but jingles take a while to bed in to the market.
No, they do.
You see?
They take a while.
Well, listen, let's get out of here.
We have a new jingle that's very exciting.
Woo!
Yay!
Thanks, Oscar.
Oh, you're a great, roving reporter, Oscar.
You got pipes on you.
You'll make it in this biz, kid.
Thanks.
Thanks, mate.
All right.
Thanks for listening. We'll guys see you in a week on Monday, kid. Thanks, mate. All right, thanks for listening.
Guys, see you in a week on Monday's episode.
Well, do you not want to wake off anymore?
No, no, we're taking a week off.
We're taking a week off.
Fuck me.
It was my idea and now I'm like, see you on Monday.
You workaholic, honestly.
Do you have to go back to the days of giving you a run sheet?
Because the whole show you've been like, where are we after?
No, no, no.
What day is it?
Monday's was a mess.
Thanks for coming in, Oscar.
Oh, thanks for having me.
Yeah, we're just having one week off and then we'll be back.
Yeah, of course.
So don't miss us too much, will you?
Don't stress.
Listen to the old catalogue if you want.
People say it's great.
Don't know how they do it.
Oh, I hate to think what's out there.
Me too.
Enjoy, though.
Yeah.
And we'll see you after a week break.
Have fun on tour, dog. Thanks, guys. Yeah, have fun. Yeah. Thanks, Del. Yeah. And we'll see you after a week break. Have fun on tour, dog.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, have fun.
Yeah.
Thanks, Del.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
The show's not actually done.
No.
Trickster.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
April Fool's.
Happy Halloween, everyone.
Cheeky, cheeky.
We got to be Halloween. S's. Happy Halloween, everyone. Cheeky, cheeky. We got to be Halloween.
Happy Halloween.
Oh, does this come out Halloween week?
No.
No.
Absolutely not.
Not close to it, though, honestly.
But I was just going with the spooky music.
Hang on, if I look, let me just.
It might.
It'll come out the 25th.
That's pretty fucking close.
Only like three days off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So if we say happy Halloween, it's still applicable.
No, I've told you what I'm doing for Halloween.
I'm going on a date and I'm dressing up.
Oscar, where do you stand on this?
Because you're single.
Okay.
Very.
Thank you for that one.
As am I.
It's not too wicked dressed as a cowboy.
It doesn't make sense.
It's disrespectful.
No, no.
I'm taking a boy on a date and he said, it's Halloween weekend.
Let's go in costume.
Yeah.
And I said, I kind of think that's adorable.
So I'll do it.
Nothing to bother me.
Front row.
Problem is we're front row at Wicked.
That's the date.
And I'm going as a cowboy and I'm wearing a big hat,
but one of the obnoxious ones, it has the tube head.
So it's like I'm going to sit in the front row with a brown cowboy hat on.
What a moron.
That's, sorry.
Look, love you, but that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
What do you mean?
Do you want the people behind you to, like, bash you or something?
Well, I can take the hat off.
Well, yeah.
No.
But then you'll have hat hair and that's embarrassing.
Oh, on me, on this head of hair too.
Yeah.
Where do you stand on costumes on dates?
Look, it depends on the context.
For something like going to see Wicked Front fucking Row,
I'd say maybe dress like a normal person.
Well, that's the thing.
If there was anything else, I'd be like, oh, that's cute.
Go with the cowboy, yeehaw, et cetera.
However, the fact that you're going to Wicked, it's just,
I don't get it.
No, it's disrespectful.
Okay.
Yeah.
As someone who has performed in many a stage show and theatre,
that is possibly one of the rudest things you can do.
Oh, that's actually true.
I didn't even think about Alphabet and the crew
Yeah because poor Alphabet on stage
You know
She can't be up stage by some clown
And it totally comes across as trying to take away
And distract the cast
Yeah Alphabucks
It'd be awful
Love the idea of getting dressed up
But maybe let's get dressed fancy
Instead of in a cowboy costume and leave that for the bedroom.
No, I said he should go in a costume still, but something wicked themed.
Oh, wicked themed for sure.
Like the dog Toto.
Yeah, Toto.
Or a tornado.
Or a tornado.
Or the house.
Or the house, yeah.
Or a scarecrow.
Yeah, or the tin man.
Yeah.
You should go with the coward lying guy.
How is your dating life going?
You're single?
I'm single.
Oh, look, it's fine.
You know, like it is what it is when you look like this
and you're so gorgeous.
They run for their heels.
They do.
But it's fine because I've got 15 boyfriends, so we're all good.
Are you dating a couple of boys?
No.
He said to Sean early on,
what you don't understand is that you're not Mitchell's boyfriend, you're
our boyfriend.
That's right.
Beautiful.
I'm part of this relationship whether you like it or not.
Yes.
So that's my trick to surviving single life.
Jenny, you could take a few tips from this.
Yes, yes, please.
I'm single too.
Oh, well, you as well.
Yeah.
You can all take it.
If you just tell your friend's boyfriend.
Is that a proposition?
Always.
If you just say to your friend's boyfriends, you do realise, like I said to Sean, you're dating both of us.
So by proxy, it's a throuple.
It's the same goes for our friend Asher and his partner.
I've said to the partner and James, you're dating me as well.
So my truquins are my boyfriends at the same time.
It's a package deal.
Got it.
Yeah.
It's like those gift with purchases, except I'm the gift you don't want to give away or
throw away.
Got it.
I'm so glad.
You're like a little mini candle you get when you buy Peter Alexander.
And Sean really has just accepted the terms and conditions.
He takes it in his stride.
He sent me a text once saying, now I'm sure it goes without saying, but I'm planning something very special for our anniversary.
So make sure you keep the 30th of June free.
Nice.
And then Oscar just takes my phone and applies with a voice message.
All right, bab, I'll keep it true.
And you know what?
I did.
So is there any, there's no sexual implications of this?
Oh God, no.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not at all.
Not that Sean's aware of.
No.
No, yeah.
And not that Mitchell's aware of either.
Yes.
No, but you know what?
Like, in all seriousness, though, I can't be bothered with dating.
I've done it.
I've had the boys and it's all been the same deal.
They've all just said to me, like, you're so amazing.
You're so nice.
I'm just not looking to date at the moment.
And that's fine.
I can't knock anyone back for that because at the end of the day i'm busy of course you're booked and busy
and then they do go and um go official with a new man on their instagram yeah or a woman actually
oh interesting or a woman yeah i'm sorry but he's talking shit what's the truth he's on the prowl
oh he came to brisbane with Brisbane with me for my comedy shows.
You didn't try to fuck with my listeners, did you?
Probably.
But we landed in Brisbane.
They hadn't even turned the fucking seatbelt signs off yet
and Oscar sends me a screenshot of Grindr and goes,
Oh, nummies, he's hot.
Suck him off.
He was on Grindr as soon as you could get phone reception.
Okay, listen, listen.
I had to check out the local whole of the area, all right?
I was happy.
I was on holiday with my chokin.
Yes.
On holiday.
A working holiday.
Yeah, you were on the clock.
Yeah, I was on the clock.
So when you go to a new city, do you open Grindr
to make sure that you're in the market?
Oh, yeah.
Honestly, even I do that, so I don't blame you.
I just like to see who's around.
Not anymore.
No, I still do. When I was in Queenstown a few weeks ago i opened grinding i've got a blank profile just to see what the local offerings are i don't talk to any of them
i did get one i did get one message though that said oh i want a quick suck before bed
i said no i never message anyone i'm just kind of curious to see.
I don't know why.
I just find it interesting to be like, how close is the closest person?
Totally.
Sometimes it's like nine metres.
I'm like, where are they?
Are they in this building?
I apologise for that message, okay?
I got confused.
It was the time zone difference.
Yeah, that's right.
I was delayed.
I can't stand Grindr.
It's horrific.
It makes me so sad.
It's not for me.
I told you.
I tell you what, though. If you're going into it. See, here's my thing stand Grindr. It's horrific. It makes me so sad. It's not for me. I told you. I tell you what, though.
If you're going into it.
See, here's my thing with Grindr.
If you're going into it, training it not that seriously, it can be quite hilarious what is sent to you.
But a lot of people I know go into it with an expectation of,
I want to do this, I want to do that, I want to do this.
Click suck before bed.
Click suck before bed and maybe a jerk or something.
I don't know.
But, like, if you're going into it with a preconceived notion,
it's not going to be fun.
Whereas I open the app like as if it's a fridge.
I just open it up, see if there's any leftovers,
and if not, then I just shit-stir on there.
So if I open mine, will you come up?
Probably.
He favourites everyone he knows.
I do, yeah, I do.
Do you?
No, it's good.
I was actually telling Mitchell this yesterday. I save everyone because they're on the off chance they might
need rescuing oh that's true it's happened before it's happened before where a friend of mine was
in the beaches and they live nowhere near the beaches and i opened grinder and they were there
and i was like what are you doing here and then long story short i pretended to be his uber driver
to pick him up no he wanted to get out of the up. Because he wanted to get out of the hookup.
The guy was nothing like he thought he was going to be.
Oh, yeah. So thank God
Chukun was on the prowl.
Because honestly, I saved another one.
I can't find you. You're not coming up on mine.
Well, you're on mine. Am I?
Or have you favourited me? Yeah, because I
looked and went, there's Chukun. In case you need
rescuing. Well, in case you need rescuing or
if, you know, if you're up at 2am and go
hello. If I need anything else. If I need a quick
blow before bed.
I live with my parents, so I just can't
do anything. Oh, well, I'll
come and say hi. It'd be so easy to smuggle
people into your room, though. They wouldn't know.
No, my sister's bedroom is right next to mine.
Right next to it.
It'd be too risky.
Sister can keep a secret. Absolutely she can't.
Absolutely she can't.
Well, your parents wouldn't suspect anything.
I've already met your mother.
True, yeah, she'd love it.
You only want to have a man as your father.
Oh, yeah, well, you'd love him.
I loved him.
Everyone loved him on the episode last week.
Dad Churi, didn't he do well?
Yeah, he did.
God bless him, Mark.
I'm going to be emotional, actually.
I thought, like, what a modern man.
I love that.
Oh, did you listen? Of course I did. Yeah,, actually. I thought, like, what a modern man. I love that. Oh, did you listen?
Of course I did. Yeah, he was cute, wasn't he?
He was so gorgeous.
Yeah, I got a lot of nice messages, actually.
Some people, someone said, in all my life knowing my dad,
I haven't got as much wisdom out of that 10-minute chat with yours.
I'm lucky to have a dad like that.
I thought that was beautiful.
Yeah, he's very sweet.
Bless him.
Love him.
Yeah, we get it.
We get it.
You come from a gorgeous family.
Sorry.
I was smacked.
If you want to ruin the illusion of Marguerite, I was smacked hard.
Made me sad.
Fuck.
Because we're both wogs, aren't we?
Yes, of course.
So wooden spoon, fly swatter, all that.
Oh, my God.
Everything.
Kicked up the ass.
I was belted with an R.M. Williams belt.
That's why I love designer items.
I've got the R.M. Williams horse logo in my arse cheek.
I'll never forget being in Croatia when
my family and I were little and my
grandmother chased my brother around with a flyswatter
because he called her a fucking bitch.
Mind you, this is
2007. My cousins and I were sitting there laughing.
We thought it was the funniest thing in the world and that was normal
to us. Apparently that's called abuse now.
I don't... Yeah, I think it is.
I think it is, yeah. No don't. Yeah. I think it is. I think it is.
Yeah.
No, it definitely is.
I have those discussions that people go, I'd never smack my kids.
And I go, yeah, never.
I don't know.
I was smacked.
Yeah, same.
I was smacked.
Same.
Were you smacked, Mitchell?
I don't think so.
You'd remember it if you were.
It was more the threat of it.
Yeah, of course.
Okay.
Oh, it was always looming over my ass.
Like, don't make me get the fucking wooden spoon. And so I never made them. No, my dad would do it like the hand. Yeah, I'd get the hand. Oh, it was always looming over my arse. Like, don't make me get the fucking wooden spoon,
and so I never made them.
No, my dad would do it like the hand.
Yeah, I'd get the hand.
Oh, God.
My dad still talks about The Last Smack.
It'd be a great novel.
What do you mean?
The Last Smack?
The Last Smack.
Sounds like a biopic starring Will Smith.
Totally, yeah.
No, it'd be Toni Collette.
Do you want a fucking ginger nut, by the way?
I would love one, actually.
Can you chug me a ginger nut, please? I love one, and I'm talking about Grindr. Do you want a fucking ginger nut, by the way? I would love one, actually. Can you chuck me a ginger nut, please?
I love one.
And I'm talking about Grindr.
Just throw me a fine one.
Chuck me a ginger nut.
I'm going to chuck it.
Throw it.
Oh, wow.
That was fantastic.
Well done.
How many sports women?
Good hands are.
Venus and Serena.
Yeah.
No, my dad said he hit me once so hard and I was too old.
And he remembers thinking that hurt him.
And I can't bear to see
him cry because at my hand.
Wow, okay. Yeah, he talks about it.
Maybe if his son wasn't a little
pussy he wouldn't cry.
When I came out I saw the hand forming. I'm like, he's gonna
smack me and I'm gonna be into it.
And the answer was yes. Of course it was.
What are our favourite
Bickies? Do we all have a favourite one?
Kingston. Oh, I love a Kingston.
Is that the one with the chocolate in the middle?
Yeah.
And Laurel said, there's barely any cream in there.
My favourite's the Gayety, the Tim Tam knockoff.
The, like, wafery one?
No?
No one?
No.
Okay, great.
Never heard of it.
Well, it's got gay in it, so you should all check it out.
I'm a sucker for a simple Oreo.
Oh, I love an Oreo.
Oreo is great, yeah.
That's not simple.
That's like bougie.
No, Oreo is cheap.
That's like a dollar for a roll.
Yeah, but you'd be pretty well off if you were buying Oreo
to the office instead of an Arnott's Family Patent.
Now, what are your favourites?
It's a toss-up between the ginger nuts or those shortbread cream ones
or a Monte Carlo.
But also, I was a fat fucking kid, so I'd just eat any biscuits left,
including the orange ones, which I hate.
But if they were there, I'd eat them.
I used to open the Monte Carlo, eat the cream.
That's it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, not toss the biscuit.
God, how wasteful.
You weren't raised in a drought, were you?
No, I wasn't.
My nan used to get the
variety pack. I think everyone's nan bought the variety pack,
right? Oh, yeah. They had the assorted creams and then
just like the other one that didn't
have cream, like the family pack. It had like the
teddy bears and the scotch fingers
and shit. They were never as
exciting, those ones. No. Was there one with pink icing
on it? The ice vovo?
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
What about lattice?
I liked lattice.
Are you talking about those TikTok biscuits?
Yeah, maybe.
They fucking slap.
Yeah, TikTok.
The clocks.
The clocks.
What are the other ones?
The ginger with the icing on it, pink and white.
Honey jumbles.
Honey jumbles.
I've not had honey jumbles.
Oh, suck my ass.
I love honey jumbles.
I swear I've made you try them on the podcast before.
Honey jumble?
Oh, they're the best.
Poor Oscar, it's going to break your teeth, dog.
I know, I'm like fully struggling.
Yeah, I know.
I couldn't even.
Jenna didn't crack it.
I couldn't crack it with my hands.
Oh, God.
All right, hang on.
Not this podcast.
I've never had one of them.
You've never had a honey jumble?
All right, we're on that.
No, they've been discontinued.
Have they?
Yeah. Fuck. Jonesy and Amanda spoke about it. No, they've been discontinued. Have they? Yeah.
Fuck.
Jonesy and Amanda spoke about it.
Of course they did.
Of course they did.
Fuck, Jenna, can you just give me a bit of warning
before you drop bombshells like that?
I'm deeply affected.
I know, it did affect me too.
I was offended.
I was affected.
We really should go, everyone.
It's been a hoot, but we've got to get out of here.
Yeah.
Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Just 2%.
