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.
Can you post videos to YouTube?
What sort of a question is that?
Can I send letters at the post office?
Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Oh, my God.
I could not be more excited for this week.
Oh, for today's Will It Block reveal.
I'm just excited.
Sorry to jump right into the Will It Block, but I'm just so proud of my efforts.
And yes, my blood sugar levels are through the roof.
Yeah, because when you're cooking, obviously, you've got to sneak a bit for yourself.
Oh, so much.
And I had my family come in.
It was on the kiddio.
The company paid for it.
So I was like, who wants this?
Who wants excess chocolate?
And I was like, wonka.
Make sure you keep the docket for tax, please.
Oh, I think that's an e-docket.
Oh, God.
That's even better.
Oh, sorry.
I don't think about that.
I don't think about those things, do I?
Hey, by the way, this is going back to last week's episode.
things do i hey by the way um this is going back to last week's episode have you seen the comments in our group when we were talking about um rooting with your dog on the bed while you root i did see
those but i felt like everyone was on yours everyone's scared of upsetting you so they
always side with you because they know they can laugh at me and i'll take it not really because
i was you said that there's been a few times where your dog has been not just in the room, but on the bed while you've been porking.
One sort of place.
And I was a bit open-minded.
I was like, I'm going to hear from the idiots, because I didn't want to be like, oh, that's
fucked, which is what I said, and still believe.
But I was like, maybe I'm wrong.
So there's one comment from Nicole that said, yes, I have done that.
Yes.
Well, thanks, Nicole.
But no, the majority of comments are not in your favour.
It's not fucking looking good for you.
What did they say?
Can I also just preface this by saying it's happened maybe twice and you push Hamish off
and then he jumps back up.
But once penetration happens, he gets the hint.
You know, they've got good noses, those caboodles.
So he gets out of there.
Yeah, basically just everyone like Sheridan.
Nope, totally weird.
Kirstie, no way.
Kick them out of the room.
Steph, nah, we shut the door.
Sorry.
That's far from okay.
Oh, wow.
It's not that bad.
Hayley said, I really think that should be illegal.
They're not involved in the act.
They're just merely watching and he's sleeping.
He's 13.
He's got a torn ACL.
Got no teeth.
Most importantly, the person who is also in the room, in the bed that you're rooting,
what's their vibe on the dog being there?
Oh, don't hurt him.
That vibe.
Okay, so they don't think it's weird.
I get frustrated.
Hamish, get off the bed.
He's all right.
Oh, okay.
Well, I suppose that's all that matters.
Yeah.
And in the throes of my sort of passion, I take people out of it.
It's an astral experience.
You know, they forget where they are once I have my way with them.
Speaking of, Pricekeeper Jenna, hello.
Hello.
You know, once they're touched, done.
I don't know where they are.
When you say shit like that and you've got that mo,
you seem so seedy.
No, it more means it's such an experience.
It's like a ride.
I reckon if you'd said that without the mo, it would have landed completely differently.
There's something about the mo that makes it sound foul.
What if I cover it?
When I fuck you.
No, that actually sounds worse somehow.
Yeah, it does.
No, no, everyone does it.
Everyone loves it.
Welcome to the show.
Welcome.
No, the dog is just there. Inadvertently. to the show. Welcome. No, the dog is just there
inadvertently.
On the bed. It's a king-sized bed,
so it's at the end of the bed, yeah. Right.
And the problem is, normally the movement on the bed
would kick him off, but it's one of those koala mattresses
that is so nice and calming.
You know those ads where there's a red wine on the end of the bed
and people jump and it doesn't move? We can be
rooting rough and fast
at one side, and the other bed is like a calm Atlantic
Ocean.
He just sits there, doesn't even notice.
Yeah, right.
You couldn't get away with that on a waterbed, could you?
No, exactly.
That's my point.
The dog would just go flying.
Oh my God, he'd be lost.
You do that on a king living couch?
Oh my God.
Like a trampoline.
Anyway, I'm glad the idiots feel that way.
Thanks a lot.
I don't think I bullied anyone into taking my side.
I think they were just being honest.
So that's a bit odd. No, grow up.
Have some sex, people.
No, but also, people aren't going to be like, oh, I love that.
That's true.
There was only one person.
Her name was Nicole.
She goes, yes, I have.
Yeah, I bet Nicole's a bloody bull terrier.
I was like, yeah, I love her.
Anyway.
Hamish, is that you?
Yeah, Hamish's fake account.
Hamish does have an account.
Actually, no, it was cancelled because I got logged out
and my little sister tried to get back in and they said,
what's your date of birth?
And she put Hamish's date of birth and they said, you're hacking, banned.
But she should put her date of birth because she created the account.
That's what my mum did with our dog, Tiger,
and she's locked out of the account because she put Tiger's date of birth. That's what my mum did with our dog, Tiger. And she's locked out of the account because she put Tiger's date of birth.
That's what my sister did.
Yeah, but if you're actually putting the dog's date of birth,
I think they're not even old enough to have an Instagram account.
I think that's the problem.
Yeah, that would be the problem.
I don't know.
Is Tiger still around?
Yeah.
We don't talk of Tiger often.
Yeah, Tiger's going well.
Oh, I didn't know that.
But I don't live with Tiger.
Who the fuck's Tiger?
Jenna's greyhound.
Tiger's visited here.
Yeah. Remember, you didn't like it. Jenna, don't live with tigers. Who the fuck's tiger? Jenna's greyhound. Tiger's visited here. Yeah.
Remember, you didn't like her.
Jenna, a tiger kind of looks like a barracuda, like very slippery and quick.
She's a greyhound.
Oh, actually, I do remember because she was getting a snout all up in my face.
No, I didn't like it.
So was the dog.
She was younger back then.
Welcome to Is It Just Me?
Welcome to the podcast, everyone.
If it's your first time listening
We start the show the same every week
We talk about Jack and the Greyhounds
Oh every episode
We're twice weekly now
We are thrice soon to be
Don't make promises you can't keep
That's not possible at all
If you're listening to this
We start the show every episode
Yes
We're the same way
Every single episode
Correct
Starts with an Is It Just each. Something we've noticed, something
we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know
Mitch's. Are you fading a bit, darling? No, no, no.
I ate a sugar hit later. Well, don't you worry.
I've got you covered. We start this
show with this episode. Oh, shut up.
I
have four
handmade chocolate
blocks. Yeah, we know. Yeah.
Four famous chocolate blocks have been, we know. Yeah. Yeah. Four famous chocolate blocks have been, chocolate bars have been blocked.
Okay.
That's all.
Cool.
And that'll be later in the show.
Now, also, I'm a bit pissy because there's some sort of intervention happening on the
show.
Is there today?
No.
My personal life is being opened up to the public.
Well, not really.
No.
Not in a way that's disrespectful, but yeah, we do have a roving report from Roving Report at Oscar that we recorded behind
your back at Mardi Gras.
And it was about-
Cool.
So there's no intervention.
All right.
But I don't know what's going on.
No.
I mean, you can be the judge.
If you think it's disrespectful, then I apologize.
But yeah.
No, I'm all right.
No, it takes a lot to bruise me.
I love that you always jump to intervention.
Like one time we had an all staff meeting on the podcast
And you were like oh god there's an intervention
And I was like no
No you're not in trouble
And then you made me believe it too
I really did
I tend to get very ahead of myself
Okay last time I had an intervention
That's true we haven't had an intervention in a while
Maybe we're due for an intervention
I'm only too prepared
I've got notes down.
All right.
Well, do you want to go first?
Should I go first?
Up to you.
What are you thinking?
I can go first if you want.
Mine's very quick and very silly.
All right, go for it.
Let's go.
Is it just me or?
Do you think the news companies need to get a bit more crafty with their storytelling?
It's off the back of this TikTok that I saw.
Channel 7 are now on TikTok.
And I don't think we have, I don't think in this world that news publications have any right being on TikTok.
I know why it's on TikTok, because of the whole meta laws.
So they're prepared.
Wait, what?
Yeah, with the news, meta not paying news corporations for their news.
Which is Facebook and Instagram.
Yes.
Right.
Yes.
Oh, so wait, Meta doesn't pay them?
Well, they have been, but they're going to stop.
And it could be a repeat of what happened in like 2021 or something,
where all news was shut down in Australia.
Facebook pages were closed.
Really?
Yes.
So they're preparing in case that happens again.
Okay.
And they can go to TikTok.
Right, Jenna.
Thanks for that.
I actually didn't follow what she said.
Oh, I did.
I understood.
All these news publications are on TikTok.
They're clearly now making more news to put on TikTok.
So it's not really news.
Have a listen to this, right?
Okay.
Listen to this issue that this woman's having,
and you tell me if you really think this is newsworthy and if it's an issue.
They're in her parking garage.
Caitlin Wood parks her car in her garage every night
and couldn't figure out why her battery kept going flat.
I've had to replace my battery two times in the last five years.
She was unaware that leaving her car...
Wait, wait, wait, let it finish.
Two times in five years?
What?
What's the answer?
Why did it keep going flat?
Oh. Car unlocked with a key fob nearby meant it never fully shut down. Two times in five years? What? What's the answer? Why did it keep going flat?
Car unlocked with a key fob nearby meant it never fully shut down.
That's because the fob is constantly trying to communicate with the vehicle.
I had no idea that just being able to put my car keys where I think they should go could be draining my bank account.
Two times?
I had to change the battery two times in five years?
Sounds pretty normal to me.
The fact that she would have went to the news with that story.
She had to pitch that out.
Listen here.
Imagine this.
Four AA batteries over five years.
AA batteries?
Yeah.
That just tells me that you've never had to change a car battery
because it's normal not to have to change them two times in five years.
Two times in five years would not piss me off.
Five years is a long time.
No, that's not normal.
When have you ever had to replace your car battery?
I've never had to do it.
There you go.
My car keys are here.
Mine doesn't even have a battery, does it?
I could almost guarantee that it does.
Really?
I don't drive or have a car.
Have you had to do it?
No, I haven't because it's not normal to have to do that.
She has a fucking point.
I'm with her. What was her name again? Caitlin. Caitlin, I haven't because it's not normal to have to do that. She has a fucking point. I'm with her.
What was her name again?
Caitlin.
Caitlin, I'm on your side, darling.
Oh, it does because it's got the electricity.
I've had this car about six years and I've never had to change it.
There you go.
Well, I just didn't like the way she said it.
Question, did they have the comments turned on on that video?
Oh, let me check.
Because this is what does piss me off about a lot of news outlets using TikTok.
I want to see what everyone's two cents are.
Yes, me too.
But often they have comments turned off for legal reasons or what have you.
And I'm like, oh, damn it.
I want to see what everyone's bitching about.
Comments are turned on on the top comment.
See, this is why I look at the comments.
She constantly has to change her battery.
Yeah, once, twice in five years.
Grow up, someone says.
Hey, don't you talk about my fucking Caitlin like that.
She has a point.
Twice in five years?
You're kidding.
I've had three in the last year.
Well, their battery's fucked.
There's an issue.
Wow.
They should interview her.
Wait, so what do you mean?
News outlets turn their comments off, do they?
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean.
I'm just circling back to it.
I thought you might have more.
Because they're responsible for whatever's written on there.
So it's as if they wrote it.
Interesting.
I don't know if I mentioned this on the podcast,
but that was actually my job at one point to delete comments.
Not here.
After I left, I worked for the project for two weeks.
Two weeks?
I gave it two weeks.
You had that fight with Sarah Harris, didn't you?
This is back in the Carrie days.
Oh, wow.
And I was a bit worried about leaving my full-time job here
and going to nothing and maybe not
having enough money to pay fucking rent.
So I took this job at the project.
And like Jenna said, it was now the outlet's responsibility to delete comments that might
be defamatory.
Like if someone wrote something defamatory about you in the comment, you wouldn't be
able to sue Facebook.
You'd be able to sue the project.
So they literally hired a team of people to moderate comments.
And I was one of them.
And it was the most boring job ever because no one says anything.
Really?
Yeah.
No one said anything salacious.
Wow.
It was so boring.
So they're paying someone.
So after two weeks I just quit.
And then went to the comments and went, I had the worst time working on the project
knowing no one will delete them.
But I was like, gee, that's bloody prepared, isn't it?
They have people employed to delete potentially fucked comments.
Interesting.
So you worked at the project. I forget that. That's crazy. I only lasted two weeks, have people employed to delete potentially fucked comments. Interesting. So you worked at the project.
I forget that.
That's crazy.
I only lasted two weeks.
It's not long.
Not even probation.
You could have just walked right out the door.
No.
I actually just took myself off the roster.
I'm still technically employed there.
They can ask me to come back at any point if I'm free.
They haven't asked once.
A shift.
Do you want to get drinks on the weekend?
No, I got a shift at the project TV.
Oh, wow.
That's so funny.
Because I was just having to refresh all these tabs
and there was nothing bad ever.
And I had to write a report every night to the executives
and the lawyers at Channel 10 explaining what I deleted and why.
And my nightly report was just like, it's fine.
There's nothing.
And then they were like, no, you need to go into more detail
in your report.
So I'm like, there's genuinely three comments on this and it's nothing.
Nothing wrong.
It's nothing.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, God.
Well, news outlets on TikTok do better.
Okay.
Yeah, I support that.
And your car fob has a battery in it.
Now you know.
I think the problem was that the car is one of those ones that turns on, you know, it's keyless.
Yeah.
You just press the button.
But because the key was so close to the car, it thought that she was there ready to get
in.
Imagine being that key.
You'd be exhausted.
I'm ready to drive.
You sat there all night.
I think that's the problem, right?
Yeah, he's exhausted.
So it's the car battery, not the fob battery.
The car battery?
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought she meant the battery in the car fob.
No.
In the car.
Am I wrong? I think that's what I took from that. It's the car. Oh, then she she meant the battery in the car fob. No. In the car. Am I wrong?
I think that's what I took from that.
It's the car.
Oh, then she's well within her rights.
Twice in five years is dumb.
We had this whole conversation.
I said, have you ever had to change a car battery?
I held my keys in front of the microphone like an idiot.
No one said anything.
Which now makes sense why you said two double A's.
There's no double A's in a car, mate.
I thought you were joking.
No.
No, I just thought it was stupid. I thought you powered a car with double A's? There's no double A's in a car, mate. I thought you were joking. No. No, I just thought it was stupid.
I thought you powered a car with double A's.
All right, move on.
Are you ready for my interviews?
Yes, of course.
All right, here we go.
Is it just me or?
Did you think needing a justice of the peace was going to be a much bigger problem in your life?
Oh, my God.
Yes, my auntie is a justice of the peace. And I used to much bigger problem in your life. Oh, my God. Yes, my auntie is a justice of the peace.
And I used to tell people in the primary school playground like it was cool.
She's a JP.
Because on their name, you can put JP.
Yeah, you can.
Can you?
Jenna Benson JP.
Wow.
Big thing.
But when have you ever needed them?
I've never needed one in my life.
No, I've needed it for something, but it was like ages when I was a child.
I feel like I might have needed one for a passport,
and there was just some guy that rolled out a fucking picnic table
at the Forbes post office for a couple of hours every Tuesday.
That's how I got mine.
Really?
Yeah, once a week they put something out.
Something like that.
And then I just forgot that they existed, a justice of the peace.
Is it just me on the fly, or would you be a brilliant JP?
You just scream JP energy.
Do I?
Yes.
I don't want to sign people's documents.
That's a lot of admin.
No, you just have the energy.
Because you know what happens if you're a justice of the peace?
The police can wake you up in the middle of the night to get you to sign off on warrants
if they need it.
Really?
Yes.
They'll just look for JP's in the area and they'll come banging on your door at 3am because
they need a warrant signed.
Do you get paid?
I don't know.
I've just Googled it.
Justice of the Peace JPs.
Volunteers appointed by the Governor of New South Wales.
Volunteers.
There we go.
No payment.
The primary role of a JP are to witness a person making a statutory declaration or affidavit
and to certify copies of original documents that come from all sections of the communities
and are available across New South Wales.
Wow.
Don't you wish that on me?
No.
You just have the energy. You're too No. You don't have the energy.
You're too busy.
You'd be a good JP.
I literally got a text from Sean's mother yesterday because I've been summoned for jury duty.
Oh, yes.
Oh, I saw that.
And she was like, oh, if you want, I can sign a stat deck getting you out of it because
I'm a justice of the peace.
And I was like, oh, justice of the peace.
That's still a thing.
Yeah. I forgot about it. I've never the peace. That's still a thing. Yeah.
I forgot about it.
I've never needed one.
It's real.
What does the stat deck say?
I don't know.
Hey, I've got no idea.
Why do you want to get out of it or do you want to do it?
I haven't made up my mind yet.
You could get a good case.
Have either of you done it?
I've been asked multiple times, but every excuse I give is that I'm the only producer on the show that I work on and I entertain the whole of Sydney and there would be no show
and people would be sad and I get away with it each time.
Really?
Listen, Your Honour, I can't be away from my desk.
You don't understand the pressure I'm under.
I am solely responsible for any people over 40 living
in Western Sydney being able to raise a smile day to day.
I can't be taken away from my desk.
That was it.
They said, yes, no problem.
You know the Jonesy and Amanda Breakfast show, I'm the end.
Basically, I reckon it could be really interesting doing jury duty,
but also in terms of how practical that actually is, like day to day,
that's going to be fucking disruptive.
20 weeks.
Absolutely.
20 weeks.
That's too long. That's too long. Because, like, the one I got was, like, one of them to be fucking disruptive. Absolutely. 20 weeks. Absolutely. 20 weeks. That's too long.
That's too long.
Because the one I got was like, one of them was like four weeks.
The next one was like 50 weeks.
You know how it works, though, is that the team and the criminal can choose to leave
to get you out.
They have final say.
I know.
That's why I'm like, maybe I'll just rock up on the day of the, they decide the jury,
whether you make it or not.
Maybe I'll rock up and just leave it up to the universe. Yeah. Maybe I would not want up on the day of the, they decide the jury, whether you make it or not. Maybe I'll rock up and just leave it up to the universe.
Yeah.
Maybe I would not want you on my jury.
Why not?
I don't know.
I just, I just.
You can't just make wild and baseless claims if you don't know.
No, that's why I don't want you on the jury.
That's how it works.
They do.
I'm pretending I don't know you.
They just pick random.
I just go by look.
I'll be like, no, you have to go by look.
And so why would you say you don't want me on?
Because I just do really well with middle-aged women.
I have the spirit of a middle-aged woman.
You do, that's true, but I don't know you.
I don't know you.
I just look at you.
And you could just be judging by age.
I'd go, he's progressive, he's young.
Surely they want to mix those.
They want to mix the people, don't they?
Well, yeah, I think your lawyer helps you.
They go get people from all different aspects of life,
racial groups, that sort of thing.
Anyway, we'll see.
Yeah, we'll see.
I'd pick you, Jenny.
You've got empathetic eyes.
Yeah.
And I go, yes, I made a mistake.
I work for a very important show.
Oh, you wouldn't be able to, of course.
Is it just me?
You should follow these idiots online.
Search couple of Mitches.
Okay, so as we've been discussing, the three of us were in the Mardi Gras parade together.
We were.
Thrupple.
Yes, we were there with Fusion Pride.
We got our close-ups on TV.
It was a very fun night.
It looked great.
Unbeknownst to you, Cherry, our roving reporter Oscar and I were busy in the marshalling area.
Now, we were there for four hours together and I did not see you escape.
I had to distract you at one point because I reckon
you would have been on to us.
Did I fall for it?
Yeah, easily.
I look like a bit of a tit, but...
When?
You also did disappear for a while.
I don't know where you went.
That's true.
Did I?
Yeah.
Oh, no, I was in the bathroom lines.
Yeah, those queues are really good.
I was in the bathroom lines for 50 minutes.
Yeah.
So I mentioned to you that our roving reporting did involve prying into your personal life a little bit.
I feel like I know where this is going.
So why don't we just hit play and let Oscar explain what we were up to.
Yeah.
Hello, it's roving reporter Chook and reporting live from the marshalling area at Sydney's Mardi Gras.
How are we?
Now, I'm under the impression that our gorgeous Ture has not revealed
who their new mystery man is.
We don't even know his name.
So I'm here on the hunt looking for anyone that looks remotely 21 years old
and is a man, and I'm going to see if I can find him.
And, Cheery, let's see if even you recognise your new mystery man's voice,
you fuckhead.
I'm going to go on the hunt.
Okay, first of all, fuck you.
Second of all, this is on the assumption that I'm hiding him.
I'm not hiding him.
No, no, no, that's not what we're implying.
You need to stop being so defensive, doll.
We're on your side here. I'm being accused.
No, we're not. We just mean that you've mentioned many times on the podcast what we're implying. You need to stop being so defensive, Darl. We're on your side here. I'm being accused. No, we're not.
We just mean that you've mentioned many times on the podcast that you're seeing someone.
I am, yeah.
But you're not at the point where you've said his name on the podcast, which is normal,
because I didn't say Sean's name for four months.
True, yeah.
And you did bring Mystery Man, who I obviously know his name.
Yes.
You did bring him with you to Mardi Gras.
He was in the parade with us.
Yeah, he was. And so- He held the S you to Mardi Gras. He was in the parade with us. Yeah, he was.
And so.
He held the S next to my U.
I guess on behalf of the idiots, because you're not at a point where you want to say his name
on the podcast yet.
At least we can sprinkle them a little something.
They can at least hear his voice, right?
Oh, wait.
So he is in here somewhere.
Yes.
So what we did is we spoke to multiple men and we all got them to say the same sentence.
Oh, I like this.
And so you've got to pick him out of a lineup.
Well, that's it.
This is fun.
I mean, that's so easy, is it not?
You would think.
Maybe he threw his voice.
You don't know.
Oh, my God.
And he is a speech pathologist.
So if anyone knows how to throw their voice, it's him.
Wait, so my question is, are these random gay men you saw in the marshalling area?
Yes.
Or are these friends of mine and ours in the show?
Well, there were a couple of guys that came up and said, oh, my God, I love the podcast.
And I said, I'm glad you said that because we need you to do something for it.
Oh, no.
Okay, so this is like a lineup of my mystery men.
Yes.
Okay.
There's five mystery men in total.
Oh, God, my memory sucks.
I'm going to get a pen and paper.
It's fine.
You can replay them back later. I've got them all. Thank you. I'm writing this down. sucks. I'm going to get a pen and paper. It's fine. You can replay them back later.
I've got them all.
Thank you.
I'm writing this down.
So this is Oscar going around chatting to all of them.
All right, here we go.
Hello, young sir.
What's your story?
Hi, idiots.
I'm Cherry's new mystery man.
Is that right?
Hi, idiots.
I'm Cherry's new mystery man.
Ah, so is it him now?
Hi, idiots. I'm Cherry's new mystery man. So is it him now? Hi idiots. I'm cheery's new mystery man
Right now who have I got here? Hi idiots. It's cheery's new mystery man
For god's sake, I still haven't found him. Excuse me
Are you him? Hi idiots. I'm cheery's new mystery man
I think it might be him
Well, Chewie, is that him?
Which one is it?
I wish I'm fucking the last one to be honest
That's a hot voice
I'm half a wreck now listening to that
Do you have them separately for me?
I've got them all isolated if you need to revise
So mystery man number one
Mystery man number one, first of all
Was like they were at the fucking Wonka experience in Glasgow
Listen to this Oscar-worthy performance.
Hi, idiots.
I choose you, Mystery Man.
Go fuck yourself, Ron.
He's not my man.
The giveaway might have been the Kiwi accent.
That was Jack.
I know him.
Oh, really?
My man.
Gross.
He was trying to mask the Kiwi accent.
Didn't work.
I'm sure they're a lovely person.
So Mystery Man number one is out. Yeah. That's not him. I'm sure they're a lovely person. So Mystery Man number one is out.
Yeah.
That's not him.
I've got a little tally.
I feel like I know which one he is, but I'm genuinely torn between two.
Yeah, because I feel like it could have been really obvious, though.
Like it would have jumped out at you.
Yes.
Or are you still a bit confused?
No, no.
I think I know.
I'm going to work backwards because let's just go back to the end because I'm well across
this one.
Hi, idiots.
I'm Chewie's new mystery man.
That sounds like it.
Okay.
Well, how do you know that that wasn't your mystery man doing a gender impression?
It's really hard to say, isn't it? It's so hard to say.
Hold on, hold on.
Because that wasn't me.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Go again.
Hi idiots, I'm Chewie's new mystery man.
That whimper, I'm sorry, I know out of anywhere. Go again. Hi, idiots. I'm Cheery's new mystery man. That whimper.
I'm sorry.
I know out of anywhere.
So no.
So mystery man number five is out.
Let me hear number two again because number two.
Hi, idiots.
I'm Cheery's new mystery man.
That's definitely not.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's between three and four.
Let's listen to four again.
Hi, idiots.
It's Cheery's new mystery man. And three. Hi, idiots. It's Chewie's new mystery man.
And three.
Hi, idiots.
I'm Chewie's new mystery man.
Yeah.
Hi, idiots.
It's Chewie's new mystery man.
Fuck.
Who am I fucking?
Hi, idiots.
I'm Chewie's new mystery man.
As lovely as this person sounds.
Yeah, careful.
He's a listener.
I wish I'd met them before I'd met my new mystery man,
but I'm going to lock in number four as being my mystery man.
Let's hear it one more time.
Hi, idiots.
It's Drew's new mystery man.
He's trying to deepen his voice.
He was trying to throw the voice a bit.
Yeah, of course it's true.
Oh, he sounds so cute.
I don't know if you realised, but five was me.
What?
What?
Blown away.
Was it?
Yeah.
That's so shocking.
Yeah.
You know that the others, it's so interesting what came out of their mouths because Oscar
and I were kind of like, try and sound 21.
That's so offensive.
This is them trying to sound 21.
Hi, idiot.
I'm Cheery's new mystery man.
This one.
Hi, idiot.
I'm Cheery's new mystery man.
Who is that?
That's Jack.
Hi, idiot.
I'm Cheery's new mystery man.
It could have been this guy to be fair.
I was thinking.
Hi, idiot.
I'm Cheery's new mystery man.
I reckon that one sounds quite believable.
Are you sure that's not him?
Well, there you go.
Yes.
He was there carrying the letter.
He was carrying the S to your U.
He was.
He was.
Between the three of you, you were a fuss.
We were.
That was fun.
Sean also did mention to me before we did the podcast today.
Yeah.
Plenty of people offered to take the letter off Turi.
There was no one forcing it.
Plenty of people offered to take turns and share the letter you.
Not one person.
Sean is lying.
Not one person offered.
Is he in damage control?
He is.
Also, I'm really not mad.
It was fine.
I enjoyed it.
It was at the end that Sean was like, let's take turns. I'm like, Sean, we're at Moorpark. I've come this far, dog. Yeah, I've walked not mad. It was fine. I enjoyed it. It was at the end that Sean was like, let's take turns.
I'm like, Sean, we're at Moorpark.
I've come this far, dog.
Yeah, I've walked this far.
Also, I had a hack.
I had a bum bag on.
Andrew, our friend, had a bum bag and I looked over and he had the stick in the bum bag hanging
over his shoulder.
So the bum bag took the brunt of the weight.
So I slipped it into me a little slip.
Sorry about that.
You did, John.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That was a bit gross.
Anyway, can you give me the details of number five?
Hi, it is.
I'm Shuri's new mystery man.
I'm into ethical non-monogamy after hearing them.
Is it just me?
The rude shocks of young adulthood.
All right, well, shall we move into, I think,
one of our most exciting new segments we've done in quite a while?
Sure.
I'm ready.
I know after last week you were not excited.
But to be fair, you seem more excited this week, which tells me that you're a bit triumphant.
Yes, I'm triumphant because Will It Block is returning.
Last week was a failure, and I can admit that.
It was a fucking disaster.
No, you still had a block.
Last week you just chucked a Snickers bar in a waffle maker
and it melted and it burned,
and then we got this gooey fudge-like consistency,
just kind of chucked in a bit of foil.
Yeah.
Okay, so what?
Even though this was not the most obvious method,
you were so determined to prove that the fucking waffle maker could be done.
But no, we knew from the get-go that wasn't going to work.
So in front of me, Mitchell, what I have is Will It Block.
The context of Will It Block is Lindt this year said our famous Lindt chocolate bunny is so popular,
we're putting it into a block form.
Which makes no sense.
It's just chocolate in chocolate.
Yeah.
I went looking through the aisles.
There are so many chocolate blocks that are inspired by chocolate bars.
Like, you can get a crunchy in a block, and it makes sense.
You know it works.
Milo, you can get in a block.
It's delicious.
Mitch, you suggested maybe Scotch Fingers.
Arnott's already do it.
They've got their own block range.
Do they?
They do a whole range of their famous bickies in chocolate blocks.
Bullshit.
Hang on, let me look.
Yeah, the idiot sent it to me.
I can't see it in the form of a chocolate block, though.
Oh, here we go.
I think I'm right.
They sent me an image.
Great minds think alike, aren't they?
So don't worry, Mitchell.
I've catered for you and I've made you one that you haven't thought of,
but I think you'll enjoy.
Sorry, side note.
While I've been Googling the Scotch finger block of chocolate,
they did a Jats block of chocolate.
Oh, I don't know about that.
Will it block?
Apparently.
Should it block?
Never.
No, you're right.
A Jats block of chocolate.
Are you fucked?
Now, that's why we're doing this.
So what I've done is I have blocked four famous bars.
Actually, three famous bars.
One famous Bicky for you, Mitch.
Okay.
They're in front of me.
Look at these things.
Right.
There's four of them. They're wrapped in foil. Can I tell you guys, Mitch. Okay. They're in front of me. Look at these things. Right. They're not looking forwardable.
They're wrapped in foil.
Can I tell you guys, listen to this.
They're solid.
That's a solid block of chocolate.
They're not goo like last week.
No.
So I'm going to hand them to you and open them.
You want to look at the flat side first because there is a crusty bottom.
Okay.
So, you know, be like looking in a mirror, Mitchell.
So the first block was a fan suggestion.
The number one idiot suggested chocolate to block was the Curly Whirly.
Okay.
So this is the Curly Whirly.
These things are quite tricky to eat at the best of times.
They are hard.
Opening her up.
Oh, look at that.
That is a solid ass block.
Let me see.
I'm going to get up and look.
Look.
Yes, doesn't it look good?
What have you done to the back of it?
Well, I've decorated it.
So you know it's a Curly Whirly block.
Oh, are they like the ones you can buy in a packet?
Yeah.
The mini curly whirly.
Yeah, the little mini ones.
Right, nice.
I see what you've done there.
Next.
Oh, we're going to open them all at once.
Okay, the next is a, oh, this is Mitchell.
I did this for you.
This is an Arnott's inspired by Talkback Tings.
Arnott's ginger nut chocolate block.
Wow.
Okay.
I think ginger and chocolate, I can see it.
Might be a bit hard, won't it?
Yeah, I did crush them all.
Let's have a look.
Ooh.
Do you reckon the ginger nuts might have softened a bit in the process because they fucking
break your teeth.
Well, Mitchell, my technique was I did one layer of thin chocolate to create a bottom,
put more in the middle, then a top layer, then garnish.
So these things are full.
This is for you, Mitchell.
I've created a cherry ripe chocolate block.
You have?
Yes.
Okay.
Your favourite chocolate?
I'm pretty convinced that a cherry ripe probably does exist in block form.
God.
What?
It looks like leeches.
No, it's okay.
The cherry's not gorgeous to look at.
You just kind of diced a cherry ripe and just chucked them on top.
No, no, no.
It's baked into the dark chocolate.
And then the last one, Jenna, I couldn't get your horrific British chocolate anywhere.
I'm so sorry.
Is this dark?
Yeah, of course.
And then finally, this is my choice.
It's a Snickers.
I wanted to redo it.
Oh, round two of the Snickers.
To show people that I could and I've learnt from the error of my ways.
Let's have a quick look.
Oh, what did you do here?
Sorry, that one got a bit bent. Yeah, it is a bit. I don't know what happened there. It's got a quick look. Oh, what did you do here? Sorry, that one got a bit bent.
Yeah, it is a bit.
I don't know what happened there.
It's got a bit of a hump.
Okay, this looks more promising than the last one.
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
Look at them.
Don't they look good?
Okay, yeah, they do.
Are we going to need a knife?
Because all the garnishes on the back might prevent the snapping.
I can get a knife.
My hope was that we could rate it in, like, snappability.
Because you know how a block snaps off in rows?
I was hoping that they would break off like that.
That should be a criteria actually.
It really should.
I think taste, texture and then snappability is really important.
Can I throw another one in the mix?
Yeah.
I wish that we'd actually had a conversation because now I feel like a right fuckhead.
What's happened?
I didn't think there was enough hype around my suggestion of gingerbread chocolate.
Well, yes.
So I took it upon myself.
Oh, my God.
Look.
Did you make this?
Yeah.
You made chocolate.
Look, I've made a block as well.
Oh, my God, and he's wrapped it in gold.
It's only one.
It's only one.
Wow.
See, you unwrap that.
Oh, my God.
I've done two methods.
Thanks.
Oh.
So that one's just using the silicon mold like you, Dim.
Yeah.
And I just kind of broke up the ginger kisses in it.
But this one, I actually drilled holes in every piece of chocolate
and stuffed it full of the fucking ginger kiss.
Mitchell.
So it's ginger-scented.
Wow.
Oh, my God, yours looks better than mine.
Mine looks terrible as creation.
I don't think it does because yours looks pretty much the same as mine.
Yours is neater.
Yours is perhaps a little bit more haphazard.
Wow.
But yeah, I thought that ginger didn't get the excitement it deserved.
But then you've come in here with a fucking ginger nut.
Ginger nut.
You know, I was so close to buying ginger nuts.
And then I found the ginger kisses and went, actually, that'll be better.
What's a ginger kiss?
You know the one, it's sort of like a melting moment.
It's like two bits of ginger with the cream in the middle.
Oh, I do know that, yeah.
All right, so how should we do this?
Okay, so what I'll do is I'll try a bit of each chocolate
and then I'm just going to give an overall score out of 10
and I'll factor in the snappability, as you say,
whether it's just a good idea or not, whether I see people buying it.
Yeah, marketability.
Jenna, I'd love for you to taste as well.
I will be. Okay, here we go. I'm going to do the curly-wh buying it. Yeah, marketability. Jenna, I'd love for you to taste as well. I will be.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going to do the curly whirly.
God, it looks good.
Which is the one that was rated the highest in the poll in our group.
People want to see if it's possible.
All right, snap it into the bowl.
Snapability.
Oh, that's a good snap.
Oh, hang on.
There's one little fucking creepy bugger holding on there.
There is a thick curly in there.
But you know what?
It's not the worst.
It's not the worst.
Can you pass it?
Can I have some as well?
All right, I'm eating it.
Oh, I forgot how chewy these are.
This is not your fault, but they're very chewy.
Jenna, you have a bite.
I like it.
It's a lot of chocolate, isn't it?
Yeah. Like, it doesn't have a different taste. It's a lot of chocolate, isn't it? Yeah.
Like, it doesn't have a different taste.
It's just chocolate and caramel.
No.
It's stuck in my teeth.
Yeah, this is like, I should have saved this for last, actually.
Is it okay if I get back to you on the out of 10?
Because I need to factor in the others, I feel.
Yeah, fair.
I'm taking this very seriously.
What should we do next?
I think maybe the cherry
ripe yeah okay so here i'll break off a bit each for us actually the snap test before i do anything
yep cherry right how does she go oh no that was not really a snap more of a thud that was dreadful
i'm embarrassed by that oh hang on look at all the cherry ripe in the center yes it's thick it's full
because remember my problem with the cherry ripe ripe Easter egg was that there wasn't enough
cherry to balance out the dark chocolate.
So it looks like the cherry ratio here is right.
This is full.
This looks really good.
Yeah.
Like she's fucking stuffed with cherry.
Yeah.
I love that it's clearly just a cherry ripe that's been diced up.
If you blended it, it would have been a bit more subtle.
I don't have a Nutribullet.
All right, ready?
Yes, it will block.
It will block.
Wow.
Honestly?
No notes.
Wow.
Ten out of ten.
Wow.
Ten out of fucking ten.
I agree.
I'm trying that.
That is incredible.
That's really, that'll block.
Oh my God. I can only assume that everyone on. That is incredible. That's really, that'll blow up. Oh, my God.
I can only assume that everyone on the board at Cadbury are nervously listening to this
in a meeting room.
Oh, yeah.
If you're listening, fucking launch it.
This is amazing.
This works.
It's really good.
The Nestle stock has just dropped.
Oh, my God.
I would buy that.
That's phenomenal, actually.
Wow.
Wow.
With that in mind, I'm giving the Curly Whirly like six.
Oh, that's pretty good.
Just because it was very rich and also it just didn't feel necessary.
Like, we don't need a block of Curly Whirly, to be honest.
I could eat that whole thing.
That's good.
Oh, fucking try and stop me.
Wow, that's really good.
We didn't think about this.
We have to talk and eat.
I know.
Not a pity for you.
All right, what else is there?
I've still got Curly Whirly's in my teeth. What else is there? Give me a sec. I know. Not a pinnacle of years. I've still got curly whirlies in my teeth.
What else is there?
Give me a sec.
I've just Googled it.
Cherry ripe Cadbury dairy block was limited edition between 2006 and 2007 for nine months.
What?
Oh, you probably should have Googled that before.
Now we look like stickers.
No, no, no.
I mean, years ago.
We already know it locks.
We haven't proved anything.
Years ago.
Think of it like Mythbusters.
It's supposed to be something that's never been done.
Can it be done?
That's true.
So do I lose points for that?
Well, the Cherry Ripe didn't do anything wrong.
I'm not going to take its 10 out of 10 away from it.
Okay.
All right, let's go the Snickers, which is going to be round two of Snickers.
Yeah, let's see how this goes.
This is my favourite chocolate bar.
Really?
Yeah, Snickers is my favourite.
I'm so hopeful.
Okay, snap test.
Nah.
That was a zero almost.
It wasn't a snap.
It was a tear.
That's worse than a thud.
I know.
All right.
Jenna, here's your bit.
Snickers has never been blocked.
Look at how much nougat Jenna got in there.
That's actually good.
Jenna, you've done well there.
Thank you.
Snickers has never been blocked.
No, I was actually complimenting you.
Oh, thanks.
You've done well there.
Look at the centre.
Oh, a bit of caramel just oozed off yours.
You're fucking lucky.
All right, this is for Snickers.
I got a peanut, guys.
Ooh.
All right.
Ready?
Go.
Mmm.
Mmm.
I just think there's too much going on there.
Oh, I love it.
It's not bad.
Okay, yes, it does block, but again, should it?
Maybe not.
Okay, I'm blocked.
Because even a tiny, tiny Snickers in a box of favourites,
even that is a bit much for me.
That's too much Snickers.
I couldn't have a whole block of it.
It's very sweet.
Yeah.
This is why I'm kind of looking forward to the ginger one.
Yeah.
Okay.
What do I give it out of 10?
Jenna, what do you think?
It's not like he's done anything wrong with it.
I just don't like it.
I feel like it's better executed than the curly whirly.
So I'd give it higher than the curly whirly, but obviously not as high as the cherry ripe.
No way.
Eight out of 10.
All right.
Okay.
I'll take that.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Okay. So yes, it blocks. Congratulations. Well done. That's really good. That's good. So far, two out of ten. Okay, I'll take that. Yeah, that's fair. That's fine. That's fair. Yeah.
Okay, so yes, it blocks.
Congratulations.
Well done.
That's really good.
That's good.
So far, two out of the four block.
Yeah.
So far, I feel sick, and I've only had one square of each.
I don't feel well.
Do you reckon it's the cooking chocolate?
100%, yeah.
I used actual, like, baking chocolate.
Same.
Melts.
Well, I did mine.
Yeah.
Yours looks great.
Should we do yours now?
Well, I've got to do your ginger nut one.
I'll battle the gingers.
Okay, well, we'll do my ginger than your ginger.
Snapper.
The snap on the ginger nut.
Let's just see.
Ooh.
Not bad.
Not bad.
That was a good fucking snap.
That was a good snap.
Oh, this is a good consistency.
This is a winner.
So ginger nut and ginger kiss.
Very different things.
You mustn't confuse them.
All right, are we ready?
Let's get them going. Ginger nut block.
Will it block?
I'm ready.
Great crunch.
Oh, that's fucking lovely.
That's incredible.
That is good.
Oh, wow.
Stop it.
Oh, that's really good.
Ten out of ten.
Fuck it.
I don't care.
Oh, wow.
It's a tie.
That's incredible.
Now, I don't feel that it's fair for me to rate the last block because I made it.
And obviously, I'm going to be biased.
So maybe I'll let you guys decide out of 10.
Okay.
So ginger nut.
Blocks.
Oh, that's delightful.
And it fucks.
Oh, my God.
It can nut in me any fucking day of the week, mate.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
Jenna's speechless.
This is my ginger kiss chocolate, the one with the ginger centre.
Grab a bit of that.
It's in a little ramekin.
And then the block might taste slightly different because they did two different methods, like I said.
Okay, so should I open the block?
Should I do the block like we did with yours?
Mine, snap them.
Yeah.
This is just with the ginger kisses sprinkled through it, not in the centre.
Okay.
Snappability.
Oh.
Oh, to be fair, it's fucking melted, mate.
It's melted.
It's been in your hot hands.
Sorry, it did fall apart.
I'm telling you, I've got two versions of the same chocolate.
The one with the ginger centre is what I'm really excited about.
Okay, let's try that.
This is Mitch's ginger centre.
I was going to let you try the block first.
Okay, try the block.
Ready?
Here we go.
Mmm. excited. Okay, let's try that. This is Mitch's ginger center. I was going to let you try the block first. Okay, try the block. Ready? Here we go. The texture's awful.
Very soft. It's very
soft. That's why I'm backing the other method.
I don't know if the block hit the clip.
Actually, I quite like it.
It's more ginger. I like it.
I can taste more ginger than the ginger nut, but the texture
is awful. I'm giving it a four out of ten.
Wait until you've tried the ginger centre.
Okay.
I'm really fucking impressed with that myself over there.
What was the technique?
Again, you drilled holes.
Well, not drill.
I just got a knife and spun it around.
So picture, right, you've got a block of normal chocolate, just the dairy milk,
flipped it and then just drilled a hole with a knife and dug a hole in every
single fucking
piece of chocolate, every row.
I had to keep flipping it over to make sure it lined up and then just stuffed the ginger
right in there, fingered it real good.
And then there was already a bottom layer of chocolate on the oven tray and then I just
whacked it in.
So it's kind of sealed.
Oh, okay.
So give that a crack.
It's just so soft.
Oh, that's fucking lovely, actually.
The taste is incredible.
Thank you.
It tastes better than the ginger nut.
You get the ginger.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so the ginger centre is the way to go.
That's delightful.
That is delightful.
I made that with a fucking loaf tray in the oven.
Did you?
Yeah.
Okay, so you need to decide what my chocolate gets.
I'm rating it a 7 out of 10.
My favourite number.
I'm happy with that.
It will block.
Great.
Jenna?
Oh, no, she doesn't have a say.
Sorry.
Oh, I will.
I'm rating it a 10 out of 10.
Wow.
Wow.
Will block.
Yep.
On International Women's Week.
Yep.
Well said.
So basically Cherry Ripe and anything ginger is the winner here because, yeah, the ginger nut and ginger kids are both tied.
I don't think Curly Whirly will make it to marketing.
No.
Which is surprising because everyone wanted to see that the most
and to be honest, it fucking gave me a headache.
No, it's too sweet.
I shouldn't have had that first.
No, we shouldn't have.
It's too caramelly.
The Snickers, I would buy a Snickers chocolate block,
but I've Googled it.
There is no record of a Snickers block ever existing.
We've done that first in a while.
Well, now we know it's possible.
Now we know it is.
Don't expect me to buy it ever.
No, no.
I would be there, though, first to buy it.
Well done, guys.
See, now that was fun.
Yeah.
Look at us go.
Wow.
Look at you go more to the point.
Well done.
I do think annuality is not, is not, it doesn't have legs.
Thank God.
I think this will just be a one-off.
Yeah, maybe.
For the show.
But, you know, new marketing maybe For the show But you know
New marketing images
New segments
You know it's a bit of fun
Happy Easter I guess
Yeah
Fuck the stupid block of bunny
Yeah
Just do this instead
Well
On that note
We're all gonna go
You need to stop eating into the mic mate
Jenny you say goodbye
People hate that
Bye everyone
That was fucking abrupt.
So aggressive.

Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end.
So I don't know how to describe these because did you see when we posted a video of your
first abomination?
Yeah.
The first Snickers bar.
People were commenting, oh, that is not at all what I pictured when I was listening.
Like worse.
Yeah.
Whatever you're picturing now, don't do it dirty because they look quite good.
Yeah.
They look good.
Yeah.
Because you bought the molds on Amazon.
I have molds as well, which by the way, so glad you bought yours because mine are deep. Mine would be like almost like a lint ball territory. Yeah. They look good. Yeah. Because you bought the moulds on Amazon. I have moulds as well, which by the way, so glad you bought yours because mine
are deep. Mine would be like fit
almost like a lint ball territory. Yeah.
They're like twice as deep as the ones you got. That's why I
use the loaf tray in the oven because I'm like, these
moulds aren't cutting it. Should I just get two
people from the Kiss FM team to try them? Like, then
we can get a verdict that's like unbiased.
What do you mean? Well, I get them
to taste them and see which one they prefer.
I mean, if you want to, you can, but I don't see much point.
No.
I'm just being honest.
Jenny, you've just got scraps of chocolate around you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I couldn't finish them either.
Yeah.
I hate how old we've gotten.
I finished my cherry ripe.
I never thought I'd be the sort of loser that eats half a chocolate bar
and pops it back in the fucking fridge.
And now here I am, I can't even fit in with this curly whirly.
Who am I?
The curly whirly. I'm I? The Curly Whirly.
I'm pathetic!
The Curly Whirly bar is hideous.
It's so ugly.
It looks like just big worms on it.
Actually, the problem is the Cherry Ripe is not a good looking bar.
It looks like open wounds.
It looks like Mitchell's left finger.
No, like I said, it looks like leeches, but it tasted fucking unreal.
Very good.
I loved it.
Okay, so ginger nut did exist in the 90s.
The chocolate block?
Yes.
Well, then it's disqualified.
Oh, no.
Oh, is that how it works?
Yes, because think of it like Mythbusters, because it's will it block things that have
never been blocked before?
Will they translate?
Oh, no.
They brought it back in 2022.
Okay, ginger nuts.
Sorry, disqualified.
Oh, that's sad.
What about Cherry Rot?
No, that was a limited run.
They did it for like a campaign.
Yeah, but they did it.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, but it was never on the main menu.
Hang on.
But it's about whether it blocked.
Yeah, and we already know it blocked.
So we're trying to prove whether something is blockable.
But if it's already been done.
I have found a Facebook group that says bring back the cherry ripe chocolate block.
What about curly whirly block?
Yeah.
Look that up.
God, if that wins by default.
It's looking that way.
Oh, no.
No, the snicker block doesn't exist.
Curly whirly.
No.
Okay. Because it's not a popular block, guys. No one the Snicker block doesn't exist. Curly Whirly, no. Okay.
Because it's not a popular block, guys.
No one likes the Curly Whirly.
And I'm pretty sure the Ginger Kiss would never have been made into a block, right?
Let's have a look.
Surely not.
Let's have a look.
Daryl Lee.
What?
Have a Ginger Kiss dark chocolate.
Yeah.
Why would they make it dark?
Daryl.
Yeah, they do.
Daryl.
Why would you fuck with my favourite snack?
Ginger Kiss block, Daryl Lee.
Show me.
Here.
In block form?
I can't get it out.
Yeah.
No, there's one in block form and then there's one in like a knob form.
Because I've seen the knob form but not the block.
Oh, that's gingerbread.
So does that fucking mean?
So, hang on.
Gingerbread and ginger kisses are quite different.
Well, I feel
like will it block? Yes, it doesn't matter.
What doesn't matter? Yeah, it doesn't matter
that they've existed. It just proves the point that it will
block, you know? Well, that's like me
saying, what if?
What if
we put a layer of milk chocolate on
the bottom and a layer of white
chocolate on the top? Can it be
done? And then we do it ourselves and go, unbelievable.
It can be done.
Yeah, but it's not.
But it's existed for fucking years.
That's a topic.
No.
Yes.
What if we get a bit of chocolate and we put caramel in the middle
and then make it in the shape of a koala?
No, I understand.
Can it be done?
I understand.
Can it be done?
However, will we know if it can be done? The cherry rind. Unless we do it ourselves. No, I understand. Can it be done? I understand. Can it be done? However will we know if it can be done?
The cherry ripers.
Unless we do it ourselves.
No, it was nine months.
I don't think it's the same.
But it's still blocked.
But it's been done.
No.
That's like you writing a script for a TV show based in New York where five friends who live
in close proximity, it follows their lives, or six friends I should say, and then you
call it friends and then they say, that's been done.
You go, no, but it doesn't count.
It's not on anymore.
Just call it pals.
You know what I mean?
So upset.
Well, I am too, because Cherry Ripe would have won,
but if it's been done before.
Should we do Cherry Ripe ice cream?
I've actually had that.
Will it cream?
Have you?
Is it good?
It's pretty good.
Will it cream?
Mitch, we've been trying to do that for a while.
Excuse me?
Sorry.
What are you guys supposed to mean? Don't great, Mitch. We've been trying to do that for a while. Excuse me? Sorry. What is that supposed to mean?
I don't know, actually.
And what else is there?
Curly Whirly.
We've already checked.
And so Snickers, there's no block.
No.
Well, in that case, there's no real prize, but I guess the Snickers wins because that's
the one that I rated the highest that hasn't been done before.
By default.
So that's what you need to take to market.
The Snickers block.
All right.
Well, Janine Ellis from Shark Tank joins us next week to see if she'll invest in my block
of Snickers.
I'll fucking give the ginger kiss a red hot pitch as well.
Janine, try this.
Tell me that's not gorgeous.
She could sell those at Boost Juice.
As like a protein bar or something.
Yeah, you add a protein bar.
You can add protein to anything.
You know what I'm really into at the moment?
Protein pancakes.
They're really good.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I love them in the morning.
There's nothing in them.
Yeah.
What do you put in them?
I do vanilla protein powder, a bit of vanilla essence, almond milk,
and then a scoop of baking powder and a vanilla.
A banana.
A banana.
I've got a recipe that's like two eggs, a bit of baking powder,
and protein powder.
But when I so generously get up early
and slave away in the kitchen for the guests in my home,
the complaint is that it's too eggy.
Grow up.
I'm like, well, you fucking make a healthy pancake from scratch.
Totally.
Fuck you.
These ones are good because the banana you do taste,
but it gives it a moisture.
It's not as eggy.
Well, there's no egg, so there's no eggy at all.
Oh, I'm really happy with that.
That was fun. Well done. Thanks, Jenna'm really happy with that. That was fun.
Well done.
Thanks, Jenna.
I love to cook.
I actually do.
When?
Mostly night times, but I do work nights, so it's hard.
No, when they're hard.
Oh, yeah.
I think it's fun.
I'm very happy.
My sugar levels are really quite high, guys.
Yeah, I reckon I'm going to get the crash soon.
I'm buzzing, baby.
Well, should we go on that note?
I mean, it's been a long episode.
It's what everyone wants.
Oh, barely.
I've read the hatred email.
We've barely been here for 80 debrief.
Someone said in the group that we used to go more rogue in 80 debrief.
Oh, well, what do you want, fuckers?
Jenna, do a cartwheel, please.
Jenna, DJ.
Oh, wow.
Well done, DJ.
Thank you.
What was that? She didn't do Oh, wow. Well done, DJ. Thank you. What was that?
She didn't do a cartwheel.
I would never lie.
What do you want from us, guys?
You don't have to overthink it.
That's what going rogue is.
Just fucking.
Yeah.
Do you find it weird that people listen to this?
Sometimes I do find it odd that people listen.
There's been many times that I genuinely suspect that you forget people listen.
Really?
Yeah.
Based on what?
Because sometimes you just forget that there's a mic in front of you and people are going to listen.
Like when you start Googling shit.
There's a mushroom in my shoe.
What?
There's a mushroom in the bottom of my shoe.
How did that happen?
I don't know.
I put it up to stretch and I can see it.
As in you trot on it?
Yeah.
I thought you meant in the shoe.
I was like, how the fuck did you not notice all day that there's a mushroom in your shoe?
No, not in the design.
In the groove.
There you go.
So anyway, in summary, going back to will it block again.
Yeah.
In summary, basically fucking anything will block if you want it to.
You just got to melt chocolate and put it in a silicon mold from fucking Amazon.
Were you shocked?
You could have put tea bags in there if you wanted to i wanted to do something dumb but like beef bourguignon
oh my god please no okay that was your pitch right no i've got a pitch oh my god what if
i bring the nutribullet in and I blindfold you and I blend a whole meal
and then you kind of just eat the baby food pureed version of the meal
and see if you can recognise what it was originally.
Like I put schnitzel, chips and a salad in a blender
and you just take one scoop and see if you can decipher what it was
before it was blended.
I feel like you'd be good at it.
I'm down.
You're speaking my language.
I'd be so good.
And I want you to go hard, like put an aioli sauce on the side.
Yeah.
That'll be fucking hard because all the flavours blend into one.
Yeah.
There's some things where it'll be fucking easy.
Like a butter chicken, you can blend that and it'll taste like butter chicken.
Yeah, but is there naan or no naan?
Do I get the yeast and the starch?
I reckon you'll figure that one out.
I'm trying to think of things that have a lot of layers to it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe I'll go a KFC burger, some popcorn chicken, the potato and gravy,
and a crusher.
I'm throwing the drink in as well.
Do it, but nothing fishy because that'll make me vomit.
Oh, I'm going to be sick, actually.
Noted.
I'm going to blend a whole fillet of fish meal,
including a hot apple pie for dessert.
You should just trick me.
You should trick me and just do a soup.
And I'll be like, is it sushi nigiri?
It's just pea soup.
Okay, that's good.
A meat pie with a big M.
Oh, yuck. That's good. A meat pie with a big M. Oh, yuck.
That's foul.
I'll actually do that.
No.
I'm only two down.
No, I don't want to be sick, but I'll do it.
I'll do it.
So what?
We're doing will it blend?
We've had will it block.
Will it blend?
I guess just for the namesake we call it that,
but really the challenge is will it survive the blend?
Will it be recognisable after being completely fucking maimed?
Well, but that also does answer the question, will it blend?
If it does blend, you can take it to work and go,
I'm having spag bol.
It's a slop.
You hate blends.
It's really easy.
Yeah, and you can just say, yeah, it tastes exactly the same.
Yes.
Oh, see, going rogue does help.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Will it blend?
Annual next week.
No, no, no, no.
I was going to pitch Will it Bukkake, but I hadn't got your consent yet.
Never softened before.
No.
That was a really fucked up joke.
I don't know why I said that.
That's fine.
That has stopped me.
I'm extremely concerned.
Even during sex, with the mystery man, sometimes I get a bit rough and I'm like, are you all
right?
Does mystery man listen?
No, his friends do.
Oh. By coincidence or? Yeah, No, his friends do. Oh.
By coincidence or?
Yeah, half, half, half.
Okay.
Some, yes, some have joined in on the craze.
I want to listen to his voice.
Hi, idiot.
Oh, fuck.
Wrong one.
Wrong one.
Oh, God.
Sorry.
That doesn't bode well, does it?
Hi, idiot.
It's Drew's new Mystery Man.
New.
He was very drunk.
We missed him for a bit.
Was he?
He was. He went missing and he came back him for a bit. Was he? He was.
He went missing and he came back.
I'm like, where did you go?
And what did he say to you, Jenna?
He went to the Coles parade.
Yeah, he went to the Coles float because he thought there'd be a liquor land
so he could get some drinks because it was a non-alcoholic area.
I was never drunk at any point, but I had a bottomless brunch at 11am
where I had a couple of drinks. I wanted
to take it easy. So I just had quite a consistent
buzz all day, but I was never drunk.
You know what I mean? Nah. Like I probably wouldn't have been able
to drive, but I was fine. Yeah.
I went home, sat in the spa. It was gorgeous.
I almost fell asleep. It was all pruney.
You're not meant to sleep in a spa. No, that's very
dangerous. It's fraught with danger. Is it really?
That's why I got Whitney, right?
I think you're thinking of Matthew Perry.
Yeah.
Ah, that's one of the more recent ones.
Yeah, it's too soon to joke.
No, of course.
Yeah.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
So we do, everyone.
Let me finish.
Sorry.
Please.
Sorry, sorry.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Just 2%.
So we do.
Now, at this point of the show where we have our peak listenership,
as we all know, and everyone knows at the end,
the last two minutes of every show is always peak listenership,
it is International Women's Week,
and Mitch and I have decided to let Jenna have a minute of air time
to speak on that course.
So, Jenna, this International Women's Day,
follow in the footsteps of your four women,
Ida Bartros, Sarah Harris, Jenna, and your one minute timer, Jenna, starts now.
Happy International Women's Day, everybody. This is a great cause for us all to unite
as women, as independent women who don't need to rely on men or anybody else.
We can rely on ourselves.
Still got 40 seconds.
Did you know today Amanda Keller went to an International Women's Day
and she spoke?
I know, I'll pay that.
She spoke about it and she said how amazing it is.
About international women's day. IWD, I'll pay that. She spoke about it and she said how amazing it is.
About it.
About International Women's Day.
IWD, I-W-D.

Yeah, that was last Friday.
It's the same day as my mum's birthday.
Yeah.
Oh.
Happy 60th birthday, Jane Coombs.
That was also last Friday.
Why are we talking about it now?
Well, it's the week of.
Yeah.
No, it's not.
That was last week. Friday through to Friday. Oh, now? Well, it's the week of. Yeah. No, it's not. That was last week.
Friday through to Friday.
Oh, I see.
You've given the women seven days this year.
Fuck your generous. We get a whole week this year.
First time ever.
Okay, time's up.
Happy International Women's Week.
No, I said time's up.
You've had your moment.
Typical women, so fucking greedy.
Good on you, Jenna.
Thank you. Beautiful Jenna. Thank you.
Beautiful words.
Thank you.
Beautiful words.
What about at Mardi Gras when someone came up and they were like,
Mitchell Coombs, I love the show.
Pushed me out of the way.
Almost fell in the fucking river of remembrance of the Anzac Memorial.
And then you went, Mitch is here too.
And he freaked out.
Yeah, they said, I love the podcast.
And I said, oh, well, Mitch is right there.
And he goes, oh, you're here too.
And they went, what about Jenna?
And he went, I've got to go.
By the way, I forgot to tell you how I made a tit of myself.
When I was distracting you while Oscar spoke to –
I mean Mystery Man.
Put a bleep in there.
Yeah, I will.
Anyway, so I had to distract you while Oscar spoke to your actual Mystery Man
because, fuck me, they're just so in and on each other's faces all day,
every day.
They were inseparable. Who? You and Mystery Man. Yes. And then I asked for a so in and on each other's faces all day every day they were inseparable who you and mystery mitt yes and then i always buy each other's sides we

point being i was like fuck me i've got to distract churi so i came up to you and played so dumb. I was like, can you post those photos on the couple of Mitch's Instagram?
Because is your reception working?
Mine's not.
And you were like, yeah, it's working fine.
I was like, no, mine's not working.
So can you just, and he goes, I can airdrop them.
And I said, no, seriously, like it's not working.
So you might have to do it.
And you're like, oh, my reception's fine though.
And I was like, mine's not.
Yeah, I should have known.
You need to upload the photo to the instagram and have your face buried in your phone
and not focus on anything else please i'm distracting you right now i'm so gullible you

Hi, idiots. It's True's
new mystery man. Very funny.
You're going, what are you talking about? It's fine.

Mardi Gras, everyone.
That's even more irrelevant than International Women's Day at this point.
We get a month.
Don't we get a month?
Isn't it Pride Month?
No, that's June.
Yeah.
Oh, do we do things in June for that?
Barely.
Yeah, but you get a month.
