This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Hello you!
Hello you!
Go!
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
Mitchell fucking Cherry uttered a sentence to me that I never thought I'd hear him say.
He goes, so what's the vision?
I just mean what's the vision? It's a creative term.
I didn't know you put such importance on vision.
Fucking Fred Holley's over here all of a sudden. What's the go with that?
Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
How are you, Mitchell?
Yeah, good. Do you reckon there's some idiots of ours that might be wondering how our Mardi
Gras was?
I'm sure there would be, yeah.
Yes.
Quite unfortunate that this episode that you're hearing right now was recorded before Mardi
Gras.
Yeah.
So we're just going to have to lie and predict how it was.
I'm going to say a raging success.
Yes.
And you actually turned up.
Yeah.
And Sean proposed.
Oh my God.
Two things that probably won't happen.
Our third wheel, Prizekeeper Jenna, is here.
What did you think of the parade acting like it's already happened,
even though right now it hasn't?
It was so much fun.
I had the time of my life.
Yeah.
We'll have to debrief properly on the Monday episode.
You'll just have to wait, but we're all parading in the Fusion Pride
Northern Beaches Council Pride Group.
Northern Beaches float.
Fuck, I did so well.
No council.
You were doing very well.
Northern Beaches charity. What? Just Fusion Pride Northern Beaches. Oh, that's it. Oh, I always so well. You were doing very well. Northern beaches charity. What?
Just Fusion Pride Northern Beaches.
Oh, that's it. Oh, I always think there's an extra word.
Fusion Pride Northern Beaches.
Yeah, we're going to have a lot of fun.
I hope so. Yeah.
Pride, you know, a lot going on at the moment
in Sydney especially and in Australia
around the Pride and Mardi Gras, so it's
heavy, but I'm excited to celebrate.
I think it'll be nice. Yeah, it doesn't feel as Mardi Gras-esque as it has in the previous years.
If anything, right now, because we haven't done the parade yet,
I'm more excited for it to be over because, oh, it's been so –
there's been all these – I'm not going to bore you with the bloody details.
No.
Yeah, we've been organising stuff and, you know, a lot of admin.
Lots of ins and outs.
Yeah.
It's going to be very cute.
I'm looking forward to my outfit.
Me too.
Have you decided what you're going to wear?
No, I'm just going to wear short shorts, like a pair of shorts and the Fusion Pride shirt
and that's it.
Okay, cool.
I'm not really, I'm not a glitter or a face paint or a body paint kind of guy.
I sweat and it makes me very uncomfortable.
Yeah, this was very strange because I offered to use our kiddio, the podcast bank account,
to hire a makeup artist
to like put glitter and shit on our faces and it was the most internalized homophobia thing ever
Mitch goes I'm not really a glitter on the face kind of guy I was like it's Mardi Gras I'm not
either I don't get around with glitter on my face typically speaking but it's Mardi Gras it's not
internalized homophobia I love it I just don't enjoy it on my face it just doesn't that's not internalized homophobia. I love it. I just don't enjoy it on my face. It just doesn't, it's not what I do, you know?
But usually when they put it on, it's that stuff that really sticks.
Yeah.
And then watching it off later is a bitch.
Like rhinestones.
It doesn't, it wouldn't sweat off.
No, true, true.
It's just not for me.
I'll wear the t-shirt and I'll wave.
I want one of those bubble guns.
I was reading the information pack we got sent.
There's bubble guns.
I want to shoot the audience with bubbles.
I saw all the props.
They're so cool.
Yeah.
No props at Pride.
No.
Oh, my God.
I just need to warn you both about something.
This is so off topic, but I've realised today that I forgot my Dexys.
Oh, no.
My ADHD medication.
And so this episode's going to be real loopy for me.
Wait, I've got a fix for you.
Yeah.
Well, because I was going to ask you, have you noticed I've been more focused this episode?
More attentive?
Well, we've only been going for fucking four minutes.
I know.
Okay.
Did you notice on Monday's episode that I was more focused and attentive?
I know you want me to say yes, but I didn't notice anything.
But tell me.
I found on TikTok the sugar cube by Neato that everyone's talking about.
The new fidget toy that everyone loves.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh. And I've been playing with it all Monday show.
I didn't use my phone.
Only when I was Googling things for the show.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes I drift.
I didn't even notice.
Yeah, I've been fidgeting with it.
You gatekeep fidget toys.
You know I love a good fidget.
That's why I brought it in because, A, my nails, guys, haven't been bitten in two months.
Well done.
They help with that.
Yes.
So I drive with this because I used to bite and drive and fall asleep and bite.
So I've got this.
Mitch will feel it.
It will change your life and take it for the episode.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that looks amazing.
But it's very squishy.
Oh.
It's filled with like liquid sugar.
Really?
Yeah.
Can I feel it?
Just get like going.
That's fascinating.
It's amazing, isn't it?
It's by Neato.
And I got it on TikTok's shop.
Oh, I love this. Yeah. And I bought it. And so it's changed my life. I's amazing, isn't it? It's by Neato. And I got it on TikTok's shop. I love it.
Yeah.
And I bought it.
And so it's changed my life.
I'm going to get welled up.
I've got French tips.
I might not give this back.
Can I feel it?
This is the best fidget toy I've ever used.
I mean, I can get another one.
I mean, I can do it.
But yeah, if you want to give me a present, go for it.
They're only $15.
What's your favorite color again?
I'm not really fussy.
Like a purple or a blue or something.
Yeah, that's a cute colour.
Okay.
This reminds me of, remember those things where they felt like this and they had little
eyes and hair and stuff like that?
Oh.
It's like a little Play-Doh thing.
I do, and it was in a balloon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and it had googly eyes.
Oh, no, that had like rice and shit in it, didn't it?
No, no, you had-
Yeah, rice and flour, a mixture.
Yeah, the flour.
Oh.
Nah, it's nicer than that.
It's nicer.
I'll get you both one.
100%.
Oh, really? Yeah, there's a place near me, the flower. No, it's nicer than that. I'll get you both one.
Really?
Yeah, there's a place near me that sells them.
This is amazing.
Mitchell's sitting down.
He really doesn't have his Dexys.
Neato.
This is going to be a relaxed episode.
Not going to be switched on at all. Play with the Neato.
Play with the Neato.
Okay.
Because I'm in charge today.
If it is your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
We start the show the same with two Is It Just Me's.
We start the show the same with an Is It Just Me?. We start the show the same with an Is It Just Me?
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
I don't know Mitch's.
And of course today it is, will it block?
Oh, yes.
The age-old question will be answered, will it block?
Of course.
I mean, you ask your grandparents, you know, have you ever thought, will it block?
And they'll go, of course you did.
And so you've brought in a DIY chocolate bar.
Do we get to taste it later?
There have been issues.
Oh, fucking hell.
No, no, no.
There's been production line issues.
And I think I need an extension, sir.
Oh, so we're not doing this segment today?
No, we are.
We are.
Oh.
We are.
We'll get into it.
We'll get into it.
Okay.
You'll see because, hold on.
Okay.
I feel like this is a crisis meeting.
I do have an Esky.
Uh-oh.
Oh.
And you're probably thinking, why would we need an Esky for a chocolate block? No, it's quite logical, actually.
Well, I mean, a chocolate block shouldn't melt to liquid at room temperature.
My block...
Is she a bit fragile?
I've had to buy stabiliser on it.
Oh, no.
Okay, we'll save it for a bit later.
It hasn't gone to plan.
It's really upset me.
Before we get into our is it is me's, I have a very sincere question.
Oh, no.
Do you have like a mic cable?
Yeah, I can get one.
Could you chuck it in?
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
You're not that sad, are you?
I'm just thinking I'm going to take my mic off the stand here in the desk.
Are you going to lie down?
I was going to lie down.
Oh, yeah, go for it.
Yeah.
That's perfect.
Just a little nap.
Oh, he just said just a little nap.
Mitch is unplugged.
Yeah.
Jenna, Mitch, this is the first time he's ever unplugged.
I know.
But I'm not going to be able to see you.
Are you okay with that?
Yeah.
All right.
All right, am I on?
Yeah, you're on.
There we go.
We've got Mitchell's back.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
All right, you're going to lie down.
Maybe.
Not for the whole episode. I might just like, you're on. We've got Mitchell's back. Okay. Yes. All right. All right, you're going to lie down. Maybe. Not for the whole episode.
I might just like-
For a bit.
Yeah, it'll just give me a bit of time to recharge.
Do you have the neato?
The what?
The neato, the sugar cube?
Yeah.
Take the sugar cube, squeeze it.
You know what we should do in the new studio?
Yeah.
We should start doing every podcast from beanbags.
Oh.
That'd be lovely.
That's cool.
Okay, Mitch is going down.
These headphones have a longer cord on them. He's going down. lovely. That's cool. Okay, Mitch is going down. These headphones have a longer cord.
He's going down.
All right, see ya.
Oh, this is much better.
He looks very comfortable.
Jenna can see him.
I can't see him.
I've got this big chair in front, but let me...
Oh, there we go.
Mitchell, this does mean you're not going to be able to be on camera.
That's fine.
All right.
Well, are you, Jenna?
I'm good.
How do you feel, Mitchell?
This is much better. He looks very relaxed, how are you, Jenna? I'm good. How do you feel, Mitchell? This is much better.
You're on your back?
He looks very relaxed.
You're on your back?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, who's going first, but there isn't just me.
Well, you need to readjust, so why don't I go first?
Yeah, all right, hit me.
All right, let's go.
This is my Ijum first episode, first Ijum of the second episode of the week.
Is it just me, or?
Am I in my chef era?
Are you in your chef era?
Probably is the better question.
Or is it just me?
What's cooking, good looking?
Yeah, guess what?
What?
This is so stupid, but it's 100% real.
My local cafe, I go to this cafe in my area all the time.
It's called Blackwood in Cronullaby.
Do you post that on your Instagram story sometimes? All the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It looks good. I post all the time because I love it and I know the owner
and I really want to support them and I genuinely think it's
really good food. It looks delicious. It's a very cool cafe.
So as a joke, Mitchell,
I said to them maybe two months ago now,
you go there and you look at the menu
and on the menu they've got bacon egg roll,
classic, granola, you know,
scrambled eggs. And then there's
like a nourished green bowl called the Sarah's Day Green Goddess Bowl.
The Sarah who?
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Sarah's Day.
You Google Sarah's Day.
She's a Shire-based influencer.
Her name sounds very familiar.
She's got kids.
She's a mummy blogger.
She's a health fitness guru.
And they've named a bowl after her.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
So as a joke to the owner, I said, I'm fucking a local icon.
I would love a menu item named after me.
And he laughed and I went, I want the Mitch Chimmy Chury sandwich.
Chury, Chimmy Chury's a sauce.
Oh, right.
Yes.
Then I get an email two weeks ago.
Hi, Mitch.
We love the idea of the Mitch Chimichurri sandwich.
Send us through your sandwich ideas and we will make it happen.
Oh, so wait.
This wasn't a sandwich that already existed on the menu and it was your
favourite and you're like, slap my name on it.
You're fucking building a sandwich from scratch.
From scratch.
You're kidding.
Yeah.
So they go, tell us your two favourite sandwiches.
So I go, well, my two favourite sandwiches, as I said on Monday's episode,
is a sub. So I go, well, my two favourite sandwiches, as I said on Monday's episode,
is a sub, so I wanted like a deli sub.
And they said, well, the chimichurri sauce,
which can you actually Google what a chimichurri sauce is, Jenna?
Have you ever had it, Mitchell?
It actually doesn't ring a bell.
I've never heard of it.
You've never heard of chimichurri?
No.
What does it taste like?
Oh, it's like a salsa verde.
It's like herby and oil.
It's big and it's like Spanish tapas food.
You dip like a sausage into it, which is very me.
If you can't put on a sausage roll, I probably haven't tried it.
It's made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes,
parsley and dried or fresh oregano.
Yeah.
It's like a herby sandwich. It's green.
Anyway, yeah, it's green.
It is green.
Anyway, well, the Mitch Chimichurri is a brilliant name.
So they went, well, what if we did a Cubano like steak sandwich? And I went, I, it's green. It is green. Anyway, well, the Mitch Chimichurri is a brilliant name. So they went, well, what if we did a Cubano steak sandwich?
And I went, I love it.
I love a steak sandwich.
So they made these two sandwiches because I was still convinced on a sub.
I went to Blackwood and I've tried to.
I sat there like I was on MasterChef, critiqued the two.
The chef came out and showed me these two creations.
And we've landed on the Mitch Chimichurri Steak Sandwich,
and it's now officially live in all Blackwood cafes around Australia.
Oh, Blackwood's a chain?
Blackwood is a chain.
So available now?
Yes.
Are you sure it's not just at your local?
No, I guarantee, because I asked.
It's in all Blackwoods.
In Sydney, there's one in Bondi, and there's one in Cronulla,
and then I believe there's one in Victoria.
Really? Yes. Blackwood Bondi. Search one in Bondi and there's one in Cronulla. And then I believe there's one in Victoria. Really?
Yes.
Blackwood Bondi.
Search Blackwood Bondi.
And so, wait, do you get like a cut of the sandwich sales or is it just the thrill of having your name on it?
It's just the thrill and it's promotion.
Yeah, nice.
Okay.
So, this was option one, Jenna.
This was the Mitch Chimichurri Deli Sub.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
That's fancy.
Can you see that? I'll text it to you. I'm on the floor, mate. Sorry, wow. Look at that. That's fancy. Can you see that?
I'll text it to you.
I'm on the floor, mate.
Sorry, sorry.
I'll text it to your phone.
So when this chef guy made multiple sandwich options for you to choose from, were you like
critiquing his work?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
He would have been thinking, who the fuck did this man think he is?
17 years of culinary school, then here I am.
Then they shot a video where I was in the kitchen making it.
No way.
Yeah, and I followed none of the WH&S rules.
I was tasting the chimichurri sauce with a spoon and then put it back in the box and
contaminated the whole day's worth of chimichurri sauce.
Oh, no.
You're going to have to make this from fucking scratch.
Nah, just scoop it off the top.
Who gives a shit?
That's what I think.
Totally fine.
I won't tell if you don't, mate.
So I now have a sandwich in my honour at a restaurant.
I wonder what I would put in my honour.
Yeah, that's a good question.
What would you choose?
I feel like a meat pie or something like that.
Maybe a green smoothie.
It's got to sound good, like the Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, Mitchell.
I've got it.
What?
Mitchell Schnitzel.
Oh, you're right.
Schnitzel Coombs.
The Schnitzel Coombs. The Schnitzel Coombs.
It was staring me right in the face the whole time.
Why have I not thought of it before?
The Schnitzel Coombs.
Yeah.
What would yours be, Jeff?
Now I have to choose a venue.
Where am I going to launch that?
Oh, true.
Bogengate Pub will do it for sure.
They're not a chain, mate.
I've got to go someone that's going to serve nationally.
What about like Schnitz or something?
Oh, yeah, that would be beautiful
Or like rachets, something like that
Totally get a pepper sauce on it
No way, not on my schnitzel, Coombs
What would you have?
Mushroom
Fucking gravy with a good glug
Ew
What do you mean, ew?
Nah, I'm a pepper sauce boy
Or a Diane
Or a mushroom
Jenna, yours would be a Jenna Bernays
What's that got to do with her name?
Well Jenna Benson
Jenna Bernays
Nah that's a stretch
Bernays sauce
That's a stretch
Oh right
If her name was Bernays that'd be perfect
Bernays sauce
Yeah
Oh what could Jenna do?
What's something that you're synonymous with?
Fucking lettuce?
Herbs?
I've spoken about the sort of meals that Jenna brings in here from home.
They look awful.
They're actually very good.
Jen apple cider vinegar treat?
That's good.
Yeah.
Jen apple pie.
Oh, there we go.
That's it.
I'm revved up now.
That's it.
Closet cream.
There we are.
Oh, he's up.
Careful, your bottle rushed your head. He's getting up. Hi. That's it. I'm revved up now. That's it. Closet cream. There we are. Oh, he's up. Careful, your bottle rushed your head.
He's getting up.
Hi.
Hi, Mitchell.
He's back.
He's back.
Anyway, I just wanted to say, I'll post some stuff on my Instagram so you'll see it, but
it's a nice career achievement.
I've got food named after me.
Isn't that fun?
Well done.
So in answer to your question, are you in your chef era?
No, you're not.
Some other asshole made it for you.
Good point.
All right, are you ready for my intro?
Yes, let're not. Some other asshole made it for you. Good point. All right, are you ready for my intro? Yes, let's go.
Is it just me or?
Was it the biggest mind fuck when someone stole your desk in class?
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Happened all the time.
Because if it was a class where the seats weren't necessarily assigned,
you know how sometimes they would be.
Yes.
And you get put next to some dope that had stinky clothes or something.
100%.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes in the ones that aren't assigned where you just get to pick your own seat,
it was just kind of an unspoken rule that once you picked it, that's yours, right?
Yes.
And then one day you'd walk into the class and see Talia or Molly or some bitch sitting
in your seat and you're like, no school for me today.
Totally.
I'm done. If I'm not sitting in my spot, what am I going to do?
It just feels wrong sitting elsewhere.
I'm out.
See ya.
My heart would race.
What if they touch what's in my under desk?
That's private.
I more mean like high school where it's a different class
and different periods and stuff.
You don't personalise the desk.
That's a different story.
That's kind of like an honour system.
Yeah, it is an honour system.
And I'm like, what compelled this maniac to just change seats one day?
You can't do that.
And then that turns you into a maniac because you have to steal someone else's seat.
Yes.
And then it just throws everything out of whack.
There's a flow on effect.
Yeah.
So what would you do?
That's actually a very early example of confrontation as a child.
Oh, I would never confront them.
No.
What do you mean? Why not? I would.
I was a shy little kid, afraid of being bullied. I wouldn't want to
cause a fuss at all. But I would be
cursing their name in my mind. I'd do it with humour.
Nah, I wouldn't even
do that. I'd just be like, okay, it's yours
now. It's yours now, I guess, mate.
Enjoy. I'm such a bitch. I would actually, because
I was such close personal friends with all the
teachers. I would actually talk
to the teacher and make it happen.
And the teacher would do it for me.
Really?
Because I was teacher's pet.
Oh, God, yeah.
You had them wrapped around your little fat finger, didn't you?
I definitely did.
I was slim in high school.
I really ballooned out after.
It was, yeah, it definitely would be the teacher.
Yeah.
But not in a way of like I was manipulating them.
I mean, like I just really enjoy adults.
And as a kid, I just wanted to be friends with the adult in the room.
I definitely preferred the teachers over half the scumbags in my year oh god i preferred
adults over teenagers yuck 100 is it just me on the fly is year eight the worst year because it
just sort of goes to their head that they're not in year seven anymore they're like we're not the
new kids anymore let's go feral yeah it's not a good time. No, I agree. Year nine also was for some reason the year that my mum was warned about.
No, isn't that when you start getting electives in year nine?
That's fucking awesome.
Yeah, I chose home ec and woodwork and drama in year nine.
I did music art and drama, of course.
Did you music art and drama?
What did you do, Gemma?
I did music art and drama.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
See, music night does nothing for me.
I did home ec and I loved home ec.
I can slice an onion like no one else.
I actually wish I had have done that instead because I just kind of picked music being like, oh, I guess I'll just do the artsy ones.
Yeah.
Fucking hated it.
I was not good at it either.
And so I ended up doing hospitality in year 11 or 12 and I'm amazing.
I'm in my chef era.
Yes, yes.
Can I tell you that hospitality and even textiles like sewing, I wish I did. I did one my chef era. Yes, yes. Can I tell you that hospitality and even textiles, like sewing, I wish I did.
I did one year of it.
But because it's actual practices that you can use in your everyday life.
Yeah.
I go to hotels, like you go to the QT and you check in, they give you the little sewing kit.
I wish I knew how to use that.
Yeah, I would have no clue.
No clue how to thread.
I wish I did that.
I actually think I only did one term of sewing.
I've still got these really busted looking pair of boxer shorts that I made.
Boxers.
We did tote bags.
Oh, did you?
In year seven and year eight for technology.
It was little tote bags.
And then we made a clock.
I did a pillow and I was such an extra kid that I wanted it to be made of faux fur.
Oh, my God.
So I made Mum drive to Linkraft, Hersville.
It's the only place that did faux fur.
Oh, my God. What?
So I made Mum drive to Linkraft, Hersville.
It's the only place that did faux fur.
And I got lime green faux fur and white faux fur,
and I did a checkerboard pattern.
And the teacher's like,
this is going to be so hard to run through the machine.
And I said, listen, Catherine, because I was on first name basis.
So did they offer their own fabrics for you to use?
But you were like, that's not good enough for me.
Correct.
Oh, my God.
Correct.
So I made my mum, Michelle Turi, drive me to Linkraft.
This is the same as when I did theatre and they're like,
you need all black shoes and they need to be steel capped
so you don't get hurt in the back when I was doing Tech Week.
And they're like, just get a Kmart.
They're 20 bucks for hard yakka.
And I went, no.
Not on my watch.
No.
So mum and I went all the way to, like, Mac, the truck store,
and I got, like, $250 construction boots.
Oh, my God.
And I was like a kid and the lady's like,
where's your son going to Rio Tinto? Is he
working in the mall? I was like, no, he's in Pippin.
That's so ridiculous.
The lady's like, right,
he'll be a poof in about four years.
Is it just me?
You should follow these idiots online.
Search couple of Mitches.
Alright, the moment, sorry, one sec.
I just got a text.
Sorry. It's Elton John
He says are you doing it
He's so excited
What?
Oh Elton John's excited for
Will It Block
Everyone
Officially
Will It Block is here
Elton John's excited
He loves it
He heard it last week
Because he's an idiot
This is the first
Fingers crossed annual Will It Block.
Why is it up to be annual?
Here's the thing.
I've really hammed it up and I don't think it's going to be an annual thing because it's
actually failed.
Why?
I've had some issues.
Technical issues.
Well, what did you run with in the end?
Okay.
So what I wanted to do was I bought all the chocolate bars.
I bought Jantner's Double Decker.
Yes.
I brought my Snickers, and then I did get Mitchell.
You wanted a Scotch Finger, and I also got the Cherry Ripe.
I was going to do both.
Nice.
So I had all the chocolate bars, and I had melting chocolate.
I had the pots and pans all set up, and I had my waffle maker.
So I said, I'm going to try it with a waffle maker first.
Really?
The waffle maker?
Well, my theory was if I spray the waffle maker with oil,
just put a Snickers in there, close it, come back in five minutes,
it'll be melted into blocks,
let it cool overnight, and then boom,
snap it off. Not at all
what happened. But wait. Wouldn't it burn?
Oh, yeah. Oh. So I'd
seem to remember you mentioning that
method in the first pitch, and we were like,
no, no, no, we can do better than that.
Piping bags into those little molds on Amazon.
Correct.
As we've established, you fucking ordered them from overseas, even though I ordered
them and got them the next day.
We need to communicate with us.
You should have done the molds, mate.
Seriously.
I know.
I should have done the molds.
Why would you order the ones from overseas when there was ones that would get there the
next day?
I just need more time.
So can you please give me another week?
As in you're going to come back next week after having done it properly?
Yeah.
No, I didn't do it properly.
I just had technical fails.
So how did these ones turn out?
I brought the one that worked with me.
Oh, so one worked?
Well.
What did you do with the ones that didn't work?
Binned them, Mitchell.
The cherry ripe.
Oh, you should have brought it in.
That desiccated coconut went up in fucking flames.
So here we go.
This is the first block, which is the snicker.
Okay, and people were keen to see the snickers in block form.
So I've made a block, mind you.
Oh, God.
Have a look.
Hand it here.
It's currently wrapped up in foil.
Okay, be careful.
Because what I didn't take into account is that snickers is filled with nougat.
So the nougat's melted.
This is not solid.
Look.
Oh, my God.
Look at this, Jenna.
I can bend the block of chocolate in half.
Okay, careful, careful.
Careful.
It's runny.
Because from a distance, it looks fine.
Thank you.
It does.
Don't be too generous.
I've got your knife.
No, no, wrapped up.
We're going to do a taste test.
I didn't bring in the burnt ones because I'm not joking.
The potent smell of charcoal.
Did you take a photo of it?
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
I did it last night at like 11 o'clock at night.
Because, you know, I leave everything to the last fucking minute.
No, what?
I just touched it a little bit.
No, no.
Open it up.
It's, oh.
What?
How is it? This is a Snickers Will It Block. It's a Snickers block. It's all oh. What? How is it?
This is a Snickers willet block.
It's a Snickers block.
It's all watery.
Give it to me.
Jenna.
It's sticking to it.
This is more adjacent to like fudge than anything else.
So I've Googled it.
I need to put stabiliser in because when you melt the nougat,
it gets mixed in with the chocolate and the chocolate doesn't set.
So you need to add stabiliser if you're using a nougat bar, which is really only mine and
Jenna's.
Which would probably explain why they just don't have the Snickers block at all.
Correct.
Because they're like, well, that's not going to work.
Correct.
So what I've landed on is what we're going to have to do is melt down just plain melting
chocolate.
Take me that knife.
And then I'm going to have to put the melting chocolate in the trays and then just sprinkle
chunks of your chocolate and my chocolate in.
And I've researched it.
That's just what Cadbury do.
When they do like an Oreo, they just sprinkle it through,
or if they do a crunchy, they just sprinkle it through.
It's like Vegemite consistency.
No, it's not.
It will not lift off the foil.
Look at that.
That is not a chocolate block.
That is just paste.
No, it's not.
It's a Snickers with four Cadbury Freddo frogs added for...
Why Freddo frogs?
It's all I had.
You were so underpaid with this.
How am I supposed to eat that?
Just put it in your mouth.
Eat half of it.
A knife in my mouth.
Yeah.
Come on.
There we go.
Will it block?
I mean...
I think the taste is its own conversation.
It tastes like a Snickers bar.
It's great.
But will it block?
No.
Fuck.
It's literally a fudge.
Let me try.
Oh, it's very rich.
Is it?
Did you say you added chocolate to that?
And maple syrup.
Maple syrup?
Why? Well, because I was Googling it, and apparently they add their own different ingredients to make it's very rich. Is it? Did you say you added chocolate to that? And maple syrup. Maple syrup? Why?
Well, because I was Googling it and apparently they add their own different ingredients to
make it a special edition.
Jenna, come try a square.
It's not going to be a square.
It's literally like you're sticking a knife in a tub of peanut butter.
There you go.
I put so much work into it.
Thoughts, Jenna?
I don't think you did.
No, the sad thing is I did.
I've not tried it yet, by the way.
Here we go.
You said, I just had Freddo frogs lying around and I chucked them in a waffle maker.
That's not working hard.
They're not so good.
It's very strange.
So, we've established that a Snickers bar will not block.
Aww.
You're welcome to give it another crack if you do it properly, not in a waffle maker.
I really like that.
Again, taste is a separate discussion, but will it block?
No.
Okay.
Can I have one more week and I promise I'll nail it?
I've got stabiliser on route.
Sure.
And it's coming locally.
And no waffle maker involved.
No waffle maker involved.
I reckon you have to like chuck them into a frying pan and like melt it all and then
put that into the moulds.
It's burnt. Yeah, moulds. Yeah. Yeah.
It's burnt.
Yeah, I know.
It tastes burnt.
We know.
We can taste it too, mate.
And so what were some of the other suggestions that came through in our
Enduring Idiots Facebook group?
Other things that you can turn into a chocolate block form.
Yeah, so I posted up.
That burn is really bad.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, wow.
That is not nice chocolate.
A waffle maker.
I can't believe you did that.
I was just trying to save time.
So I posted asking what the idiots would like in block form.
Will it block?
Here we go.
The number one option is still curly whirly.
Yeah, I think you should give that a crack.
I think that's an Aussie thing.
All right.
I haven't seen them in a while.
I think so.
Number two is a boost bar.
Ferrero Rocher is really high.
That could work.
Again, I have to add chocolate to it.
Honey tiny teddies.
Oh, fuck off.
I hate those.
I hate them too.
They're the worst tiny teddies.
I associate them with car sickness.
Really?
Because if I was car sick in the back, mum would hand me that awful tiny teddies to try
and, oh, you just need something in your tummy, you know.
Chocolate tiny teddies are yummy.
Yeah.
I don't know why they thought honey was a good idea.
I actually hate them.
They make me gag.
The honey sucks.
People are voting for Cherry Ripe, Curly Whirly, Mars Bar Snickers, Tim Tams are high, Cherry Ripe.
Yeah, Tim Tam was my idea.
Give that a crack.
Yeah.
You have to crush it up and then add chocolate.
And then we actually had this exact conversation last week.
I can't believe that you just went rogue and chucked it in a fucking waffle maker.
I didn't go rogue.
And expected a different result.
I didn't go rogue.
I thought it would be a good hack.
Nah.
Okay, so are you going to take into account those suggestions and come back with some blocks next week?
Yes, and they will be firm, hard blocks.
I think you should do it on Instagram Live as well so people can see the process because I'm just fascinated to see
how it all went wrong. I'm work night so I'm going to
have to either do it really late or in the day.
Just whenever you do it. Yeah. Chuck it on. You reckon you
can just go live in the day? Yeah. Whoever's
there can watch and then you just save it
on the Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. I'll go live
on the couple Mitch's. Yeah. Alright.
Well thank you for gracing me with an
extension. Of course.
You'll have it next week.
Okay.
And you will love it.
Honestly, don't bother with the cherry ripe one.
You don't want it?
I don't reckon.
I'm more interested in the Tim Tam or the gingerbread or the scotch finger.
Gingerbread.
Or the double decker.
Gingerbread for you.
And for you, I'll do your double decker.
Yes.
Very hard to find.
Not really.
But curly whirly for sure.
Yeah, curly whirly.
I agree.
You know what else I was interested in?
I went to get us a block of Lindt chocolate to try, right?
Couldn't find it anywhere.
Like, out of stock.
Like, there's a spot for it in two Woolworths.
Both out of stock.
All you could get were the bunnies.
People love the blocks of bunnies.
Doesn't make sense.
No, I know, because it's just chocolate.
So hopefully I'll have one for us to try next week to see if the method's there.
Anyway.
All right, well, the block will return next week and, of course, in a year's time.
No, it's not.
Oh, all right.
Sorry.
I keep forgetting.
Is it just me?
The rude shocks of young adulthood.
Now, there's one thing I wanted to follow up from last week's episode.
We just kind of swept it under the rug when we were talking about people being car sick
or vomiting or what have you.
And you made a comment that I only realised afterwards i was like what does he mean you said that you've got like an irrational fear of vomit or you're paranoid about vomit or something like
that i did say that no yeah vomiting is like my biggest paranoia i hate vomiting which is ironic
because i just ate half a fucking snickers block. But I will do anything to avoid vomiting.
It's the sensation in this world that I hate.
So will you swallow it back?
Yes.
I will swallow it back down.
You swallow it?
Oh, it makes me sick thinking about it, yeah.
Well, yeah, but let it out, babes.
No wonder you have a horrible association with chunder if you're eating it.
I'm not eating it.
Your body wants to get rid of it.
Yeah, but picture this.
Sitting over a toilet bowl heaving for God knows how long because you can't control it is the worst feeling in the world.
You have a sense of when you're done.
I always think I'm going to choke.
Well, you keep swallowing it.
That might explain why.
That's true.
Let it out.
Have you experienced the relief of like when you yak a few times
and you're like, oh, no, it's still coming,
and then you realise, oh, that was it.
That was the last one.
I'm done.
No.
That relief?
No.
Yeah, that's because you don't let it out.
This is very strange.
Is it the vomit itself that you're like, ugh,
not like to think about it?
It's the act of like-
Like the sensation of it?
The sensation of vomiting terrifies me.
So you just don't do it?
I don't do it.
If I do, it's horrific and I'm anxious the whole time.
Then my throat is covered in acid and it's itchy and scratchy for the rest of the day.
And then I've got to brush my teeth like 12 times.
Yeah, but that's all part of the process, babes.
It's normal.
I just can't believe you two enjoy vomiting.
No.
No, we don't enjoy it.
But you said that you would rather feel sick and hold it in.
I'm like, it's sometimes just more efficient than anything to let it out.
Where is this going? I would much rather sick and hold it in. I'm like, it's sometimes just more efficient than anything to let it out. Where is this going?
I would much rather vomit than swallow it.
Well, where this is going is it's interesting.
Out of all the shit we talk on the podcast,
you never know which one's going to resonate the most
because we got a lot of mortifying vomit stories in our Facebook group
after we spoke about it last week.
Did we really?
Yeah, quite a few.
And I just wanted to see how you might handle it.
Let me have some water because I need to rinse my mouth out.
Because if you apparently are just paranoid about vomit and you hate it,
how will you handle hearing about it?
I really don't want to hear about it.
I genuinely do not want to be hearing this voice.
I mean, I understand that this is probably a bit gross
for some people listening as well.
But listen, we're all human.
We all do it. Beyonce vomits. Yeah, she does. Taylor Swift. I was going to say well. But listen, we're all human. We all do it.
Beyonce vomits.
Yeah, she does.
Taylor Swift.
I was going to say the queen.
Yes, Taylor Swift vomits.
I can actually feel myself getting queasy now.
Okay, well, let's see how you handle it.
Uh-huh.
Ready?
Mel says, my most mortifying vom experience was going on a date and being so nervous that
I threw up all over his shoes.
Oh.
She was sober.
She wasn't even drunk.
That was just nerves.
Oh, because she was nervous.
I've nervous vomited before.
Really?
That's the worst, yeah.
I don't think I ever have.
Oh, no, I have because it happens from like, you know, when you're nervous, you have the
pit in your stomach.
Yeah, I suppose.
It just like grows and pushes up.
No, that's never become vomit for me.
Really?
I know the nervous feeling.
I've only ever chanted from like too much drinking and just like motion sickness, car
sickness when I was a kid.
See, that one's fine to me.
It's the sensation of vomiting and like the image of pushing it up and out and...
No.
Hate it.
Should I keep going?
Well, yeah, go.
I don't want to upset the idiots that are going to get mentioned.
Nikita said I projectile vomited all over a train door
about three seconds before the doors opened.
When it pulled up at a station with some lads standing
on the other side of the glass, the vom was brown.
Oh, no.
Because I'd eaten steak that night.
Stop!
What I learned from that was don't trust Midori.
Amen, Nikita.
Amen.
Even that made me gag a bit.
It was brown from the fucking ribeye and then green Midori. Amen, Nikita. Amen. Even that made me gag a bit. It was brown from the fucking ribeye and then green Midori.
That was fucking stuck. Surely the colour of green.
Look, you are not coping.
He's got his head in his hands, rubbing his eyes.
He's not coping.
Awful.
And on the door, poor Sydney Transport.
Wouldn't you be kicking yourself, though?
You're like, fuck me.
If it had been one more second and those doors open,
it would have been outside.
Ideally not on people, but just not in the train.
She was so close.
Oh, I don't know why I was picturing her standing at the platform.
No, she was getting off the train.
Oh, I was picturing her.
Oh, that makes so much more sense.
No, but if it opened, she could have done it in that little gap
between the platform.
Wait, sorry, you could be right.
She's not specified if she was on the train or not.
She said,
projectile vomited all over a train door three seconds before the doors opened
when it pulled up to a station with lads standing on the other side.
So it sounds like she could have been at the station or inside.
Inside makes more sense because then she's trapped.
Because if she was outside,
why the fuck didn't she just turn around and not vomit on the train?
Oh, brown, move on.
The colour and the chunk.
You're tearing up.
Yeah, I'm not.
This is a very weird reaction.
You really are.
I don't like vomit.
Wow.
What if I did it in a really calming voice so it's less stressful to hear?
Oh, I thought you meant vomit.
No, I'll read the submissions.
Yeah.
Yes, you can read them.
Try it.
Okay.
Let me close my eyes.
Yuck, I just swallowed snot.
God.
Is this how you react to all bodily fluids in your mouth?
No, I do not.
Oh, I bet.
I'm a champion.
Vomit's not the only thing he swallows anyway.
Excuse me, I'm losing my voice.
You are.
Sorry, I'm doing this calming voice.
Yes.
So you don't stress out.
Do you have meditation music or something?
I can find meditation music. Yeah. Hold on. Sorry, I'm doing this calming voice. Yes. So you don't stress out. Do you have meditation music or something? I can find meditation music.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Sorry about that.
Gem, in our Spotify comments section says,
I couldn't afford the cab fine and was holding it in until I got home.
Five minutes away, the cab gets stuck at an RPT.
It's fine so far.
So I cleared out my handbag and quietly vomited into it.
But I forgot to take out my house keys.
Oh.
That you would have had to have fucking fished through it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, don't say fished through it.
I have goosebumps on my whole body.
Goosebumps?
Have I made you that relaxed with this ASMR? No, I can confirm he does. I genuinely have goosebumps on my whole body. Goosebumps? Have I made you that relaxed with this ASMR?
No, I can confirm he does.
I genuinely have goosebumps.
No, goosebumps from the terror.
He literally does.
My hairs are standing up.
What about this?
Holy fifth.
Can you do it as Ida Buttrose?
Maybe that'll calm me.
Sure.
Holy fifth.
Getting my freshly 18-year-old fifth to drop my 16-year-old self at the shop
when I hear my friend in the back ask, what's this blue bag of liquid in the plastic bag?
It was my sister's car vomit, a blue Powerade, on her hungover drive to work earlier that morning.
She left the bag in the car.
I have PTSD to this day just thinking about that hot bag
of vom she forgot
within her little Astra.
That's alright
because blue liquid is like alright.
The chunky... No, Mitch.
The fact that she chunned it in a
fucking bag and then left
it there.
So it was there from that morning.
Yeah, I get it. Hot bag of
vom with the words from Holly. I get it.
I get it. I have to drown that out. Move on. Next story.
Am I imagining this, Jenna?
Or does he look a bit pale? He really does.
We've got to stop, I think. Do you have
any more? There's so
many. Another one is Ida.
One more is Ida? Yeah.
The most ridiculous one. Okay, well
I'll try this one. This one's short.
All right.
Samantha Power says,
I was violently hungover but couldn't cancel my nail appointment,
so I drove there and vomited in my keep cup while sitting in my car.
Oh, that's foul.
No, no, no, no.
Keep cups aren't big.
No.
Oh, that is foul.
The risk of spillage in that situation would have been great.
That's horrific.
I want to go home.
You look so unwell.
It's really sick.
It's just like vomiting shouldn't be joked about.
It's an unfortunate event that people go through.
These aren't jokes.
These are just personal stories.
And nothing worse than the smell of a burp after a vomit.
I hate vomit.
Did you just gag?
I'm getting there. Stop. I hate vomit. Did you just gag? I'm getting there.
Stop.
That's enough.
Isabella says,
No more.
I fell asleep
at my work Christmas party,
got woken up by a manager
then proceeded to vomit,
which my supervisor
tried to catch in her hands.
Then I got picked up
and cried on the phone
to my boyfriend at the time
because I thought
I was going to die.
Lucky my supervisor loves me and would catch my vomit again if I needed her to.
That's not something you can ask of someone, sweetie.
Sorry, Isabella.
Catching it.
A fucking rancid.
And it would seep through the fingers.
Oh, yeah.
It would get in your nails.
Didn't that happen to you, though?
You vomited at a work thing?
Yeah, I vomited on Jonesy from Jonesy and Amanda.
Oh, fuck!
Excuse me!
Listen to that mouth!
And then also in the...
We spoke about this recently.
In the bathroom.
In the sink.
And I had to use my finger to chunk it up to get it out of there.
That's gross.
But I was blind drunk, so I don't really remember it.
Yeah.
I'm quite proud to say I've not vomited in a very long time.
I reckon definitely been at least one year, but possibly two.
Really?
Possibly two.
Wow.
Actually.
Oh, hang on.
I don't know.
You'd have to ask one of the witnesses the night of my drink spiking.
Oh, yeah.
You could have.
I don't remember, though, so it doesn't count.
Anyway, enough vomit chat.
I'm sorry if this is grossing everyone out.
We should get out of here.
Does anyone want any more block of snicker?
My mouth tastes like burnt chocolate.
Would you like some, Jenna?
No.
I'm going to throw it out.
I'm not joking.
Because I will keep eating it.
That is my...
Well, yeah, you did a terrible job.
Get rid of it.
We're not even beating around the bush anymore.
Oh, I tried so hard.
I don't think you did.
I did.
I did.
You said that you were trying it because it was a hack.
No.
This was you cutting corners and look what's happened.
Oh, it looks awful.
Oh, yuck.
It looks like poo.
I'm going to post a video in the idiots group so you can see what I was up against.
All right.
Better luck next week, mate.
Nah, thanks, guys.
Bullet Block returns next week and we'll have actual hard, thick block of chocolate.
Maybe watch some fucking YouTube tutorials or something.
I did because that's how I learned about stabiliser.
Right, okay.
So next week you'll present something better than that.
Correct.
Good-o.
Alright.
Alright.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Give us five stars on all socials.
You can find us a couple of Mitch's, Spotify and Apple Podcasts too.
Yeah, we'll catch you next week and we'll tell you all about how Mardi Gras went.
Oh my god, yes!
Exciting! Yes, safe and happy Mardi Gras, although no, it's already happened.
I hope you had a safe and great Mardi Gras.
We could have had a very dangerous and miserable Mardi Gras.
We could have.
Because you didn't get the word in soon enough.
Oh, yeah, wouldn't that be dreadful?
Everyone's waiting on my quote, my comment on Mardi Gras.
You're like, have a safe and happy Mardi Gras.
And they go, we better.
You know what?
I bloody will.
Just because he put the idea in my head.
Thanks for that.
Yeah.
All right.
See you in a week, guys.
Catch you soon.
Bye.
Bye.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We keep talking shit for a little while.
Once the show's done, we keep going.
Did you really think the chocolate was that bad?
You couldn't sell it.
No.
No, you couldn't sell it.
You could sell it in a fudgery it was kind of like you know how when you're making cookies for
example you eat the cookie dough the batter it tastes fucking good but it's it's wrong yeah of
course yeah but this one tasted burnt it did taste but it burnt bad jenna like the bottom burnt there
was smoke all through the house because you put it in a waffle maker no well the waffle maker was
the cherry ripe and it did the waffle maker i've, well, the waffle maker was the cherry ripe,
and the waffle maker I've got to throw out.
It's baked.
Wait, wait, wait.
You didn't put baking paper in the waffle maker.
Why would I?
Oh, you fucking idiot.
You fucking idiot.
No, because then it wouldn't have the divots.
Yeah, but the baking paper will still have divots.
Yeah, it'll sink.
You can't put it directly on there.
Oh, God.
I literally put a-
You stupid boy.
I sprayed it with canola oil, put the cherry ripe on the waffle maker.
Oh, no.
That's fucked.
Shut it.
It sizzled.
Oh, no.
I went and watched five minutes of the nightly news, came back, and it was a briquette of
charcoal.
Well, no wonder.
God.
Didn't mean to.
Your nails are done.
They're nice.
Oh, no.
I haven't finished them.
This is just the base coat Blue, yellow
I like them
What's that for?
The Mardi Gras
The beach themed
Oh yeah
Yeah
Very nice
It's the beach glam theme
Oh god you're right
I could wear a sun visor
If you want
Beach glam
Maybe I wear some sandals
Ratchet
I could wear a sarong
Go on Yeah I'd love to wear a sarong. Go on.
Yeah.
I'd love to wear a sarong.
I could be quite comfy.
I'm excited for Mardi Gras.
I think it'll be nice.
Yeah, well, it's already been, mate.
Yeah, true.
What are you doing after?
Oh, just going to a friend's place.
I can't be bothered with any tickets and bloody raves.
Yeah, I don't want to go to a rave.
My friend invited me to a rave.
I was like, it's like you have never met me.
They're not a close friend. No.
He prefaced it with I think I already know
the answer but I was like yeah you do
know the answer. Someone's like do you want to go to Heaps Gay?
I was like absolutely not. Why not?
I went last year and it was awful.
I'm not a clubber. It's not for me.
Is Heaps Gay a club?
It's more like an outdoor party.
It's like a one-off.
Yeah.
I thought it was an event type of thing.
It is an event, but it's just like a nightclub.
That's what they're emulating.
Not for me at all.
You know, I was talking about when people steal your desks in school.
Yes.
You know what else fucked me off?
My seat on the bus.
Oh, that's not an honor system.
You keep the same seat every day, do you?
Well, when you're top dog, yes. I took it very seriously, the bus thing. Because it was kind of this unspoken rule that the oldest kids on the school bus, they got the back seat. Like if you're
in year 11 and 12, the oldest ones, they get the back seat. And so when my sister started sitting
on the back seat, I sat with her. And then after she graduated, I was like, I'm just going to stand my ground,
even though I'm only in year nine or ten or something,
and I'm not the oldest on the bus.
I'm just going to keep sitting here and see how I go.
Yeah.
I ran that fucking place seriously.
Did you?
Like a prison.
Really?
I can imagine, yeah.
I took it so seriously.
I was very territorial of the back seat.
What were your jobs?
You would give people their seats? You'd choose? I wasn't, yeah. I took it so seriously. I was very territorial of the back seat. What were your jobs? You would give people their seats?
You'd choose?
Oh, it wasn't like that.
It was more like I had to approve if they were to sit with me.
Yeah.
There was like a trial period where they'd sit in the seat immediately closest to the back seat.
Got it.
And if they had good banter or good, I hate that word.
Banter.
Not banter.
If we had good yarns, I'd be like, all right, bub, come sit with me.
Oh, my God. I made great friends on that bus because it was a long ass bus trip being on a farm. If we had good yarns I'd be like Alright bub Come sit with me Oh my god
I made great friends
On that bus
Because it was a long ass
Bus trip
Being on a farm
How old were you?
We were there for like
An hour and a half every day
Oh wow
Yeah
Oh so you'd need
To have good chat
Yeah
And so we had a lot of time
To get to know each other
On that back seat
And if anyone dared
Sit there
I'd be like
What do you think you're doing?
Oh my god
You'd be terrified
Move
I love it
Would you actually say that?
Yeah.
And so you'd sit in the big –
Or if one of the primary school kids sat up there
because the bus did pick up the primary schoolers before I got on
and there was always a risk that some fucking little smartass
was going to jump on the back seat and I'd just get on the bus
and be like, very funny, mate.
Off you go.
Because they also had a piece of tape down the middle of the bus on the floor where it
was like primary school kids that side, high schoolers that side.
Oh.
And I was like, can you not see the tape, mate?
Yeah, read the tape.
What do you reckon that means?
Yeah.
Get lost.
Get off my seat.
I don't remember.
I didn't get a bus home.
I got a train home from school.
But I remember.
That is like so cool.
It's way cooler than a bus. Oh, I got a train. But like a train's like public. So I remember- That is like so cool. It's way cooler than a bus.
Yeah.
I got a train.
But like a train's like public.
So there were normal people on there.
Yeah.
So it's not the same.
But I got a bus to and from sport, water polo.
And we'd all sit on the bus.
And I loved the back seat.
I was like one of those annoying people that would sit like in the back corner and put
my knees up.
So I'd take like two seats.
Oh, how smug.
Yeah.
It was very smug.
And also the very back window, you get to see the cars behind you.
I used to wave and go, wave back, wave back.
And I'm playing sweet or sour.
What's sweet or sour?
I remember that.
Like if they didn't wave back, sour.
If they're sweet, they wave back.
I don't think that our back seat of the bus even had a window.
Really?
Yeah.
It was like one of those coach kind of things.
Oh, yeah. That would have been fun. Oh, yeah. I had a a window. Really? Yeah. It was like one of those coach kind of things. That would have been fun. Oh yeah, I had a
back window. Sweet or sour. We need to bring that back.
Also, do kids these days play
sweet or sour? Because I've never been sweet or
sour. No, I haven't seen it.
I would be sour for sure. You wouldn't wave to
kids. No. I would.
I'd go, hi kids! Yeah, you totally would.
Yeah, I would. I'd be so excited. I'm not the best
with kids. I'm sweet. Yeah, I'm sweet. Yeah, I'd want to be sweet. And they'd be so excited i'm not the best with kids i'm sweet
yeah i'm sweet yeah i'd want to be sweet and they'd be like he's actually sour because he's
too sweet he knows he's sweet yeah you're like getting too friendly they're like leave them
alone totally the teacher's like do you ever work with children check they have a new game
yeah like that's the new game totally i used to love that the other day i reckon these kids in
my apartment building would have thought that i was a sour bitch yes because i got out of the elevator and they were waiting around the corner clearly
expecting someone else to walk out of that lift yes and then i stepped out and they went boom
and then it went oh whoops sorry that wasn't for you the death stare i gave them i didn't know how
to behave what were they fucking it wasn't even a death stare.
It was more like, I actually don't know how to react.
I was embarrassed in that moment.
Yeah.
I was just like, oh my God, they just booed me when they weren't supposed to.
How old were they?
How do I react to that?
They were kids.
Yeah.
And they were just like laughing at me.
When I closed the door behind me, I could hear them laughing in the hallway, being like,
oh my God.
And I was mortified.
But I'm like, how was I supposed to react in that situation?
It's like, oh my God, wrong person.
Oh my God, you guys got me.
I just shut down and looked at them like, how do you react on the spot?
There's no appropriate way to react.
I actually would think I can react to many things.
That would stump me.
I might even punch them in the head.
Okay, someone boos you instead of the intended boo-ee.
How do you react to that?
Oh, you almost gave me a heart attack.
You've got to be careful who you do that to, Ranhi.
How are you?
I don't know.
Too friendly.
How are you?
No, I just panicked and I just looked at them like, what have you done?
Your panic face is very bitchy.
Well, I have heart problems, so I would probably have a heart attack.
Oh, Jen.
Can you not be frightened? Yeah, I can, but usually
you get a flutter. Yeah.
Sean is the easiest person to frighten ever.
Yeah. I'm not even doing it on purpose
sometimes. I'll just go to the bathroom
and then come back to the lounge room and he'll go,
sorry, you scared me. I was like,
I live here. This is my
place, mate. But what's he scared
of? I don't know.
Just sudden movements.
Oh, Sean.
He's like a tortured cat.
Yeah, he is.
How is your cat?
We don't hear much about Isabella these days.
Yeah, she's good.
Yeah.
And has the novelty worn off?
You kind of over her?
No.
No.
Of course not.
It's weird.
I feel like only in recent months have I thought, yeah, this is my cat.
Oh.
Because she has a weird way of showing whether she's bonded to you or not.
Oh, yeah.
And for, like, three or four years or whatever it's been,
I was convinced that she hated me because she was so much more affectionate
to other people around me.
But now she's become a bit territorial around me.
Oh.
And, like, she's a bit protective of me when Sean's around.
That's cute.
Yeah.
How does she do?
As in, like, only come to me for a pat and then just glare at him like,
he's mine, bitch.
Or if he stays for the weekend, after he leaves,
she makes a fucking point of sleeping on his side of the bed next to me
every night being like, no, no, you're mine.
He can't take you from me.
You're my mother.
And she never used to sleep on the bed with me,
but now she does it all the time to be like, this is my territory.
That's how you know she loves you, that she's sleeping on the same bed as you.
Yeah, it's only been recently that I'm like, I think she actually likes me.
See, my dog Hamish, because I'm at home, he's 13 and he's not well.
He's torn his first ACL and now he's torn his second on his back
and the first one just got surgery and fixed.
Does he want mine?
I'm pretty sure I don't need it.
Your ACL.
When am I ever going to need it?
Well, he's got four. Dogs have four fucking
legs, four ACLs. Anyway, so
he can't jump up and down on the bed. So I'm in the bed
and I'm having a bit of fun in my bed, you know,
with someone else. He'll bark at the
end of the bed until you pick him up because he can't
jump anymore. So then you put him up. But then about
30 seconds in, he goes, I don't want to be up here
while they're doing that. So he barks because he can't jump
off. So then you've got to stop. It's just
the biggest mood killer in the world.
Then you get dog fur on the lube.
It's a whole thing.
Why was he on the bed at the same time as you were porking?
Because he's got separation anxiety.
He has to be.
He has to be able to see you at all times.
Oh, Mitchell.
Mitchell.
What do you mean?
There was five years there where you didn't live with him.
Surely you can just chuck him upstairs with mum and dad.
He knows how to function without you.
Mum and dad aren't home while I'm porking.
Oh, so you can't just chuck him outside.
No, he has separation anxiety.
He will bark and bark and yap and quiver.
He's like a whippet.
I think you just need to show him who's boss a bit.
You reckon?
Yeah.
This is so appropriate, this saying.
The tail doesn't wag the dog, mate.
No, he'll bark.
It is infuriating.
It's infuriating.
But you can't let him be on the bed while you fuck.
He has been.
That's so off.
I'm not joking.
Wouldn't he get embarrassed?
He likes dogs.
All right, let us know, idiots, if you've had your dog on the bed with you whilst you pork.
Or scissor, whatever the case may be.
Yeah, pork or just touch.
Penetration.
Sex is not just penetration. Yeah, Paul got just touch. Penetration. Sex is not just penetration.
Yeah, exactly.
Bless you.
No, fine.
Hamish is a cute dog, though, so if it was like a hideous dog,
I'd be like, hey.
But he's a cute dog.
It's kind of like, aw, back to fucking.
I would find that really weird.
I know.
Like sometimes Isabella will walk through the room
or it turns out she might have been under the bed
and she'll just politely see herself out while we're in the throes of love
making.
And she'll just kind of dart her eyes over her shoulder back at me like, is he right
there?
Do I need to step in here?
Yeah.
No, you're fine.
Okay.
I'll keep going.
And I'm like, who's she going to tell?
It's fine.
I don't care if she sees it, but she's not on the bed with us.
That's fucking weird.
Hamish has been on the bed.
That's fucking weird. I think he's on the bed. That's fucking weird.
I think he's actually been kicked in the head with like a twink foot.
Oh my God.
Shocking.
There's a little bell on it.
I'm like, did you just kick the dog?
He's like, yes.
I'm like, oh.
It's just not right.
Oh no.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Like I said, I'd love to hear from idiots who have fucked with their dog present on the
bed.
Yes.
I'm glad you added that.
Fucked with their dog present. Yeah. If you've fucked your dog, we don't want to hear about idiots who have fucked with their dog. Present on the bed. Yes, I'm glad you added that. Fucked with their dog present.
If you've fucked your dog, we don't want to hear about it.
No, please.
You know a girl I went to school with went to prison because she did that
and Facebook lived it.
She's currently in prison.
Was that on the news?
It was huge.
Yeah.
I went to school with her.
Oh, my God, I remember that.
Yeah, I went to school with her.
You went to school with her.
Same year, yeah.
Oh, my God.
She messaged me when I didn't organise the year 10 farewell.
I was like, how dare you?
Is that the video that went
viral-ish? Yes. And like
the dog... Stop it!
Do you remember it though? I didn't ever...
I never saw it. I saw like a blurred
out screen pic on Daily Mail. Yeah, that's what I saw.
In the news reports... This is wrong. We can't keep talking
about this. They blurred the lady
and the dog. They blurred
the dog's face. Yeah.
Let me Google it.
Hold on.
So you went to school with her?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Daily Star, the Cairns Post, the Cairns Post.
Yeah.
What do I search for?
I search her name and then dog, and I've got it.
What?
Oh, and they put up a photo with the dog.
Hold on.
Let me have a look.
What's her name?
I won't include this.
Oh, this is a different one.
Oh, okay.
I'm thinking of a different video.
Oh.
This one you're talking about, the dog licked peanut butter off a particular part of the body.
Yes.
The one I'm thinking about, the dog was...
No.
Do you know how a dog will hump your leg?
It was...
Oh, mate, I don't want to know anymore.
All right, shall we end the show?
Shall we go?
I think on that note...
Yeah, I think...
I don't know how much of that is going to make the edit, to be honest.
Who knows?
If you're going to bitch about this episode being short,
it's because the conversation we just had was really fucked up.
We've had to completely doctor it.
Because we've gone from talking about vomiting to dog s***.
It's just not good.
This is a new low.
How did we get here?
Who knows?
Oh, I should have brought my Dexys today.
This would not have happened if I wasn't medicated.
Listen, we will tell you about our Mardi Gras next week.
Very excited to be on the float, though, so you'll get all that, guys, very soon.
Yeah.
Thanks for listening, guys.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Just 2%.
So we do.
So we fucking do.
Yes.
Hey, look after yourselves.
We'll see you very soon.
Catch you soon, idiots.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Is it just me?
