The Junkees - Dave O'Neil and Kitty Flanagan

Glenn "Family Assorted" Robbins & chocolate biscuits 🍪

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 13:01:00 +0000

Hear Glenn every week on Somehow Related (with Dave O'Neil)

We start with a distressing experience Kitty had lately.

The Chocolate Biscuits (from 13:00)

Glenn - The Byron Bay Cookie Company, Triple Choc, mini version

Hot tip with high crumble factor biscuits - bite, then press your tongue into the biscuit where there could be a crumble. That's if you're meeting the Prime Minister or equivalent special person.

101 Episodes! Blue Heaven Choc Top

Sat, 28 Jan 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Read what Kitty and Dave have to say about 101 Junkees episodes on nearly.com.au

Humble beginnings and doubts about the longevity of a proniment segment.

Dave - "I've given her some real mysteries like lemon chips, salted caramel twisties and cauliflower puffs... and she’s guessed them all."

Kitty - "Originally we thought that segment (where we make the other person guess the flavour of a potato chip) would last maybe ten eps but kudos to the chip makers, they keep bringing out ridiculous flavours and we keep tasting them."

Read the article 101 Junkees episodes here

The Junkees Origin Story

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 15:00:00 +0000

"I'm here as the audience, the live audience" - Kitty Flanagan in the back seat on the way home from a gig in Lorne.

While Kitty and Dave are away we have the episode of The Debrief that sparked The Junkees.

Dave, Kitty and Brad Oakes recorded the episode back in November 2019.

They'd stopped for snacks, as you do, then Dave and Kitty realised they shared a love for the sweet and salty.

You'll have to excuse the audio quality. Tough to get it 100% in Dave's car with three people speaking on two microphones.

The Junkees will be back to normal in the coming weeks!

In the meantime - check out Somehow Related, The Debrief, Confessions of the Idiots and 10 Questions with Adam Zwar!

The Chocolate Chip Cookie

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Not the fancy pants versions, or any cookie packet promising 40% more - figure out the best ratio and commit to the consumer!

This should be an easy category - tried and true - but there are unanticipated complexities (and let downs!).

The high value biscuit in Kitty's house growing up was the Nabisco Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookie - "and they were THE chocolate chip cookie, there was no other."

Cookies considered

Farm house bake from Arnott's
Woolworths home brand cookie
Greens chocolate chip cookie (deconstructed)
Cadbury's version of the classic cookie

What happened to Nabisco's cookies?

Creaming Soda - Red vs Brown (and The Lost Episodes-odes-odes)

Sat, 25 Sep 2021 18:00:00 +0000

So. We had a technical problem with the previous two episodes.

One ep was released about Chicken-Ina-Biskit but the sound was all off.

Specifically, Kitty's mic keeps going in and out. Very distracting. More details below if you want the technical explanation.

Catching up on The Lost Episodes-sodes-sodes

BBQ Chips

Samboy BBQ
Smiths BBQ
Boulder Canyon - hickory BBQ

New segment - Shut Up About It! Dark chocolate Kit Kats.

Twirl Breakaway - "two bars of swirls and curls inside layers of crispy wafer coated in dairy milk chocolate"

Technical issues with The Lost Episodes!

The noise gate processing was on.

Between the Nearly Media shows in lockdown we've had more recording commitments than we had recording kits, so we'd borrowed a Rodcaster Pro from a friend for Kitty.

Courtney, me, the producer, didn't go through and turn off all the audio processing on borrowed Rodecaster.

Digestives Rematch

Sat, 28 Aug 2021 20:02:12 +0000

That's the feature, digestive biscuit rematch on this episode.

It's not taken lightly, this isn't a flippant episode where we didn't have something to fill so we thought 'Hey! Let's just dredge up a old episode and do a line extension?!'

No. There's been correspondence and passion surrounding the digestive line.

It simply wasn't over at the end of the last episode we covered them.

I'll give Kitty a ring

Sat, 14 Aug 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Lockdown has finally got to us. So this episode is more of an update, yeah an update, of what's been happening in Junkee Town.

Cheese chips are a feature for Kitty after trekking around with a backpack to gather snacks.

Dave has been on the second dose of the Covid-19 vax. The chip from the vaccination implanted in Dave recorded this episode by the way.

And an old favourite is sent to a friend - the Woolworths Rocky Road biscuit. It covers so many bases; chocolate, biscuit, lolly and more.

Not such a fair fight as they're really quite different.

Vanilla Ice Cream pt 2 - Bulla vs Streets

Sat, 20 Mar 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Never free of controversy, the vanilla ice cream winner has been called back to take on a local hero.

Bulla has been elevated by the collective will of listeners crying foul about it's exclusion in a recent three way vanilla bean-off.

So much so we've spoken to the promoter and they're backing a one-on-one headliner between the proven and unproven (on The Junkees) brands of Streets and Bulla.

There's a road to travel first though with delightful segments before the tub-off.

Rematch - Chicken Chips ain't over.

Woolworths brand was the chip winner of the previous challenge.

However! In an oversight that shocked fans of a certain legacy brand, we feel that Samboy's chicken flavour deserved a turn on the roundabout.

M&Ms vs Smarties

Sat, 12 Sep 2020 18:00:00 +0000

Distinct in shape, colour, advertising budget, global name recognition, packet construction, number of variations and most importantly, flavour.

In the plastic packet - M&M's

Born: September 10, 1941; 78 years old (Virgo)

Weight: 49 grams (2020)

Catchphrase: Too many to choose one.

In the cardboard packet - Smarties

Born: 1937; 83 years ago (star sign unknown)

Weight: 50 grams (2020)

Catchphrase: "Only Smarties have the answer"

Twisties

Sat, 11 Jul 2020 19:00:00 +0000

Time to get into Twisties.

Kitty buys both flavours, mostly snacks on cheese but dips into chicken during the session.

Sweet and salty roundabout - get on board!

Also, Dave and Kitty get nicknames.

There's a Somehow Related episode about Twisties and Animal Feed that's worth a listen too.

Hello and Corn Chips

Sat, 04 Jul 2020 19:00:00 +0000

Let's do the backstory for the podcast, then guess some corn chip flavours.

In the car on the way back from a gig in Lorne, Dave and Kitty discovered a mutual admiration for the salty and sweet junk foods available in convenient shops.

They're together on this show to share their special interest.

This episode, corn chip taste test.

That's not all.
