Joy and Tracy are back and they’re stepping in where Google can’t. They’re playing a rousing game of Google Auto-fill and are offering some simple answers to your deepest Google queries. The answers are usually ‘NO!’ or ‘because you have boobs’.
Happy Halloween from Tracy the optical illusion!
So many good stripes.
Joy got stuck in Hurricane Sandy… which meant several days of emotional eating.
This Chicken Pot Pie never stood a chance.
It was a Cheese Hurricane.
Cheese and Pot Pie don’t make the best emergency kit. Michael has some actual disaster preparedness suggestions here.
Now let’s play Google Auto Fill!
One Google Auto Fill question we stumbled upon: Joy the Baker Half Black (?)
That one was subtly answered… here.
Thank you all for making lemon pound cakes for Tim and Veronica. You light up the world. Jill made a Gluten Free Lemon Cake for Tim and Veronica. Gorgeous!

My sister always says that you can tell a lot about a person based on their google history! I am sure to delete mine from time to time. Don’t want anyone getting ahold of that!

Real life google related story: My little brother, while living with his girlfriend, googled “how to break up with somebody” ON HER COMPUTER! He forgot to clear the search history and when she went to google something, google auto fill informed her of the last search item. A huge fight ensued. When I heard this story from him I told him maybe he should google, “why am I so stupid”
Joy the Baker November 2, 2012 at 8:05 pm
oh my word. your brother is a special one. i wonder what kind of advice the internet gave him?
cuttercookie November 1, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I didn’t look at the name of the podcast before I started listening (I listen on Stitcher) and when I heard Joy say Google Autofill I was SO EXCITED because I suggested it last time! Gah! You guys are amazing and I love your podcast. I crack up every time. Thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks for the smiles. You guys had me laughing about Xmas
Songs. As for more auto correct. How about
Why do I smell like….? Oh no!

I feel like there were a lot of Google red flags in this episode…. ALSO, I thought of a great rhyme for you! “Gin before breakfast, that’s just wreckless.”
Joy the Baker November 2, 2012 at 8:06 pm
hahahaa! i suppose it is…
tracy November 3, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Good one!!

1) i would totally come out growling if i were charlie. first of all, he was shot as a kid. how many dogs or humans can say that? second, he has something to prove…doesn’t want to seem weak with his wheels. don’t totally get it.
2) i live in nyc and even though the hurricane is over and i still have power, i’m still eating & drinking like none other. i’m giving it through sunday before i am asking my husband to intervene.
3) google auto-fill: amazing. HI-larious.
4) DEFINITELY bust out the mariah carey christmas album. jesus. a must.

I don’t think I can upload a picture here, but on http://www.google.se (Sweden), if you type in “Joy” and then hit the space bar, the first auto-fill is “Joy the Baker”. The android finds you faster, after just typing in “J” on the same website.
“Homefries” though is not ever recognized until “Homefr”.
Jill @ sincerelyjill.com November 2, 2012 at 8:25 am
I about passed out when I saw the picture of my lemon cake on this podcast! Thanks ladies!

i found those eyebrows to be stressful.

Joy, I never thought I’d disagree with you on anything. But—Mariah Carey? Really? I need to broaden your musical horizons some time… (Still love you, though.)
Joy the Baker November 2, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Mariah is my diva. Ride or die. Um… but I like Mumford and Sons too! xo!
Tsh Oxenreider November 4, 2012 at 11:34 am
Ha! Okay, you’re forgiven. (In all jest, I do listen to people during Christmas that I never listen to the rest of the year. *cough* Clay Aiken *cough*)
Joy the Baker November 4, 2012 at 7:02 pm
aaaaahhhh! clay aiken.
Tracy November 5, 2012 at 10:19 am
Oh no you DIDN’T!
Isabella November 2, 2012 at 4:20 pm
This podcast is awesome!
Here is my auto fill story…
My aunt married a man who’s mother was in line to be the Dutch princess. We live in the states but they more to the UK. They had a couple kids and then they stopped talking to us. So, the easiest thing to do was google my aunts name. (She was a book editor in NYC and got high up there!) Eventually, the first google autofill was: her name, a publisher friends name and then AFFAIR!!! that’s my google autofill story.
Sarah November 3, 2012 at 10:42 am
Not sure if this auto fill is fake but I find it funny either way!

Love the podcast!!

Dear Joy and Tracy, I’ve laughed soo much on this episode! I was so curious that I googled on my computer all of your questions. I came across: “why girls don’t fart” (we do fart) and “is it normal to be sexually attracted by numbers” (oh, please! NO!). I’ve also googled them in Italian, ’cause I’m Italian, and I came across: “can I eat jellyfish” (suspicious), and “how much does a wedding cost”. Thanks for making me laugh every week! Love you both

Tracy, I feel like our husbands would be good friends. The “winebacker” costume reminds me of my husband’s costume last year: he dressed up in his old baseball uniform and carried around our dog…and called himself a “dog catcher.”
Tracy November 5, 2012 at 10:20 am
HAHA. I love that.
Meri November 3, 2012 at 2:55 pm
google autofill suggestions:
me- “why do I…” (favorite response: “why do I fart so much?”)
my roommate- “is it ok that…”
hayleyom November 4, 2012 at 3:57 pm
So funny, I was trying to stop from laughing out loud when I was listening on the train this morning! A couple of suggestions of Google Autofill for you: “What if”, “Where do you”, “When do you” and “Am I”. Seems like many people have questions about pregnancy in those last two! Really looking forward to the next podcast guys! Keep up the excellent work!!
Julie Hashimoto-McCreery November 5, 2012 at 11:39 am
Google’s auto-fill options never cease to amaze… both in what they think you’ll want to know and what other people apparently need to know! Mentioned y’all in this blog post last night: http://bitly.com/SIDMiB I love the podcast, can’t wait for this week’s already!
Sini November 6, 2012 at 7:07 am
This was such an awesome podcast! You two ROCK!
Erin November 6, 2012 at 10:06 am
Ohhh my word. I laughed through this entire podcast! Out loud. In my room. By myself.
Question for holiday gift guide! Always around the holidays/ mothers day I love looking at holiday gift guides looking for my hard to buy mom.
THING IS:
-candles make my mom sneeze
-she thinks decorative pillows are a waste of money (and our dog would eat them anyway)
- my mom only wears 3 pieces of jewelry: her wedding ring, a 20th anniversary ring and her medical alert necklace.
- my mommy also never wears makeup or perfume
She’s not a gardener, she’s not an artist, she’s not a chef.
My mom is a practical accountant who likes to go camping.
Any gift ideas for practical moms?
P.S. I’ve been living in rural Bolivia for the past 5 months. You make me giggle!
Lena November 7, 2012 at 12:33 am
I got Is it normal to be sexually attracted to numbers? What?
And recently I googled Deb Perelman and it autofilled Deb Perelman fat. Who does that?
This is so entertaining, though.

Joy, don’t forget to put kitty essentials in your emergency kit for your little dude. I need vodka and cheese and my cat, Milo, needs crunchy treats and a replica of his favorite brush.

I think you should do an episode or segment about google searches that have led people to your blogs. I know on my humble and much less-visited blog, we get some really funny searches….so I can’t imagine how many ridiculous searches people use and end up on Shutterbean or Joy the Baker.
