Best Bits Of The Kitchen

These are the occasions where you have an awesome idea that you have planned for ages, and everything is going right, until it doesn't. Matt explains a recent backfired plan of his, and Adam tells us the story of one man very desperate to escape his wife for a bit.

Gene Simmons this week joins the long list of people trying to trademark common sayings and/or hand gestures - this time trying to trademark the hand gesture for love. We can only imagine that is going to create some headaches for some!

You may recall that for a long time, Adam was very hesitant of dogs, to the point where he would go off at Matt for posting too many dog pictures on Snapchat. How have the tables turned now...

When you've got a bro, you keep them posted on the important and exciting things happening in your life. Well, Matt thought this wasn't the case and didn't let Adam know something monumental was happening...

We get to see some pretty weird stories, but it was stories of homework help and car thefts that caught our attention this week!

We know public transport is all the rage to save traffic and the efforts of having to drive, but it's expensive. So when your bus explodes into a ball of flame, there's one thing you probably shouldn't do...

Switzerland have recently passed a new law where a guinea pig owner must have at least two of them to prevent one pet being lonely. Turns out that rule doesn't just apply to guinea pigs over there...

Matt was in Leederville checking out the place and about to have lunch when he was approached by a film crew to partake in a 'social experiment'. Because lunch was more important to Matt, he declined. That experience prompted Adam to recall a moment when he could''ve been on TV in front of a lot of people...

This week, The Kitchen won its first ever award, the SYN Award for 'Best Comedy Segment/Feature' in Melbourne! It's the biggest compliment that the show has ever received, though the more pressing topic seems to be why Matt's name got left out of the award. Cue conspiracy theories...

The world is a far different place from when Adam and Matt went to school, with new products invented since then that could've made their lives so much better. They discuss the one thing that would've made schooler so much more cooler for them.

This week, a British professor said that eating food off the floor within five seconds is okay, so long as 'it's not obviously (visually) contaminated'. It's the sort of thing that scientists dream of discovering when they're at university (or science school as Matt calls it), so the team discuss if they eat food they just dropped off the floor.

By now you have surely seen the video of a Korea expert's interview with BBC World News being interrupted by his kids. Such interruptions occasionally happen here on the show, and Adam's ringtone is not what you thought it was.

Adam asks yet another important question: Why do Navy personnel wear all-white uniforms? Something in which Matt sees a few problems with as well.

This week, the IT crew that manage the Pentagon's network told their employees not to watch the NCAA Basketball Tournament on their networks because it was consuming too much data which could be better spent on more important things, like, you know, looking after the US military. Fair to say, Adam and Matt's lives are a bit less exciting than that, though that doesn't mean that they haven't been doing things on their work computers that they shouldn't have done (or saw).

This week Wikileaks published sensitive information about how the CIA used tools to hack into most things that you use in day-to-day life. We focus on none of those things and instead look at the somewhat out-there names they use for some of these tools.

Google defines a 'miracle' as "an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency." Matt exercising for a week without having an off day qualifies as one of those things.

Sometimes we just don't feel like doing work. It's a normal problem to have, and chances are if there's something on your phone that you really have to check, then going to the bathroom to check it out is the only way you can do it without being noticed. One reddit user spent an uncomfortable amount of time analysing how much money he made whilst doing his business, if you get our drift.

We need firefighters to help us when we are threatened by fires, especially in a place such as Australia. However, there's one place on the planet where they can probably save money by getting away without a fire station...

Sometimes in the excitement of opening presents, you are taken aback by the impressive amount of effort that goes into wrapping something you're going to ruin in any case. What lengths do you go to to preserve said gift-wrapping?

We all remember those ads that said that 'you wouldn't download a car, but not a movie", right? Well nowadays, you can do that, thanks to the magic of 3D printing. What what the team create if they got their hands on a 3D printer?
