People do some weird shit. This is it, this is the big one. This is for the girls, this one. Some things make more sense than others. Lindsay Lohan punched in the face after trying to take a boy away from a mother. You're a good little boy. I won't leave until I take you.

Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for. That's the line. I see it quite clearly. Get new glasses. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. And one Mitch is clearly better than the other one. I couldn't agree more.

Now, here's Mitch Turi and Mitchell Coombs. Ten episodes later. Oh, sounds like a lot when you put it that way. Should have got a cake. I would have loved that. I'm surprised you don't have one. What's the go? I should have organised it.

I got ten episodes in. Hello, Jenna's here. Hi, Jenna. Oh, Jenna, it's on. Jenna. Try now. Oh, there we go. Do you agree, Jenna?

It seems a little bit premature to be celebrating? It's only 10 episodes. Well, I think the show is crap, so. There you go. Jenna from hard metals there. Today won't be crap. I can assure you of that. Because Mitch, after much nagging, has agreed to let us do a breakfast TV themed episode of Is It Just Me?

It was easier for me to just say yes than to fight with you two. So Jenna and I were kind of like TV nerds from back in the day and breakfast TV was a weird fascination of ours. I love crumpets. I'm not going to do a whole fucking show on crumpets. Growing up, kids like Marvel and they're superheroes and actors. You had a poster of Carrie Ann Kennelly above your bed. No joke.

I had a poster of Sophie Monk. Did you really? Yeah, it came with her single Inside Outside. No joke. I had a poster of Sophie Monk. Did you really? Yeah, it came with her single, Inside Outside. I actually had that too. There you go. Did it burn down in your house or something? You sound so sombre.

I'm just really excited for this episode. Oh, you two are such nerds. The fact that we're doing a whole show on this is baffling to me. Yes, I promise you, Jenna, today won't be a crap show. You should come in for this, actually. Oh, my God. Are you serious? Yes. I think that you're going to be very enthralled by what we've got on the way.

Well, what are we doing? What are we going to talk about? Well, look, I'm sensing that you're not as enthused as us. Even if you don't care about breakfast TV, everyone loves a good blooper. Yes, you're right. Okay. So later on, I'm going to be doing the top five breakfast TV bloopers. Stick around for that, all right?

Okay, fun. Also, confessions of a breakfast TV producer, someone who actually works behind the scenes in breakfast TV. I like this. I just want the goss. I want to know if they're all fucking each other. You know what I mean? This guy, well, not executive producer.

No, that's a big call. You just gave him a promotion. But he's a producer at Sunrise, and he said that nothing's off limits. I'm hoping he wasn't just saying that, and he comes in here going, oh, no, I can't talk about that. So we'll get to that later on. Yeah, international listeners, Sunrise is like the big Today Show number one rating

morning show in Australia. But first, I think we should kick off the show with, and is it just me? We do it every week. If this is your first time listening, it's something we've noticed, something we appreciate or hate. Why don't I start? Yeah, right. Go for it.

All right, here we go. Is it just me or are you obsessed with the new Apple Plus TV show, Morning Wars? Oh, you know for a fact that it's not just you because I've been nagging you to start watching this show for ages. Have you started? I have started and I thought at first I might not because you said this. I, like you, thought it was a bloody feature length film. Yeah, I thought it was like a telemovie, like an hour and a half, but it's a bloody ten-part series on Apple Plus TV.

Yeah, sounds like we're sponsored by them. Have you watched it, Jenna? No, I haven't. What? I know, I know. Don't, please don't spoil it for me because I really want to. No, I won't. Okay, I won't spoil it, but I'm just telling you,

it's right up your alley. Yeah, you would love it. It's all about behind the scenes of Breakfast TV, so clearly people have a curiosity. Like I am so enthralled by it. And I think it's because it's led by Jennifer Aniston. Anything she does, I'll watch. So she's one of the Breakfast TV show hosts, Jenna.

And I bet you wouldn't picture Jennifer Aniston as a morning TV show host. No, I wouldn't. She does a very good job. And she's got Reese Witherspoon there as well. Always good. This is not a spoiler because it happens within the first 10 minutes of episode one. But her male co-host gets dumped and then they bring in this hot new thing, Reese Witherspoon, who's like tipped to be the next big thing on The Breakfast Show.

And the co-host is Steve Carell. Yes. That's the one that got sacked. Yeah, the Me Too movement got him. Yes. And there's a lot of tension between the two females because they end up hosting together. I won't spoil how.

Yeah. So have you watched the latest episode of this Morning Wars? Apparently in the US it's called The Morning Show, but because in Australia we have The Morning Show on Channel 7, they've had to change it to Morning Wars. Are you serious? Yeah, so it's actually called The Morning Show. There you go.

But, yeah, have you watched the latest episode of Morning Show? No, I don't want to spoil it for Jenna. I think I'm an episode behind because they've just hired the new host. Oh, so you haven't? No. There you go. But yeah, have you watched the latest episode of Morning Show? No, I don't want to spoil it for Jenna. I think I'm an episode behind because they've just hired the new host. Oh, so you haven't? No. Okay. No spoilers. Jenna, stop twitching. We won't spoil it. So this is hardly a spoiler but Jennifer Aniston sings in the most recent episode. Have you ever

heard Jennifer Aniston sing? Never. In my entire life. And I don't think I want to. I'm not sure if she's sung in other movies but I certainly haven't seen her or heard her sing. I wish I'd got the audio on. I would have loved to have gotten it on. Okay, well, the beauty of this podcast is that we can pause recording. I actually insist.

I want to hear your reaction to Jennifer Aniston singing. All right, we'll get it. Hello, we're back. I've got the audio. On the cloud. That's the benefits of airing on the cloud. See, you can't do that on your live radio show. Just bear with me.

Pause. No, I can't. No, I can't. All right, so I've got the audio of Jennifer Anistoning on the cloud. So you can't do that on your live radio show. Just bear with me. Pause. No, I can't. No, I can't. So I've got the audio of Jennifer Aniston singing on Morning Wars. Here it is. Others can desert you. Not to worry. Whistle, I'll be there.

Not to worry, everyone. Demons will charm you with a smile for a while. But in time. Charm you with a smile for a while. But in time, nothing can harm you. Not while I'm around. Oh, God. What did you think? Well, firstly, let the girl sing. I love how the producer's like she knows the words everyone. It's like yeah, give her

some credit. You don't know the context of the scene. It was a duet. I almost feel like we didn't need that at all. At the same time what I would give to hear Georgie Gardner in a dead light. No, this didn't happen on the morning show.

In the scene, it wasn't on TV. It was just like a dinner party thing and they were dared to sing together. And so I was like, never heard her sing. No, she's not a singer, but she can hold a tune okay. Yeah, it's all right. Kind of like the entire Mamma Mia movie. None of them could sing. Yeah, true.

But it's kind of, you know, they winged it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Wow. Well, maybe I'm going to stop watching the series because after that I left it. No, thank you. But obviously we don't know how accurate it is when it comes to working behind the scenes of a breakfast TV show because this show could be completely blowing it out of proportion.

But that's why we're getting that Sunrise producer on later on. The unnamed producer, redacted. I don't mind saying his name. It's Blake, right? What's his last name? I don't know how to say it. Oh, it sounds like one of those animals that rolls up into a ball. It's spelt, if I'm just looking at the name,

I would read it as Blake Ndilo, but I bet it's some... Oh, like an armadillo. Yeah, that's what I was going for. But I bet I'm, I get anxious about names and pronunciation. I bet he's going to come in and be like, it's Ndilo or some shit. I don't know. Madelon. Yeah, but yeah, he's on the way to tell us how accurate this TV series actually is about

working behind the scenes in Breakfast TV. Because if it's accurate, God, it looks intense. I know, and I hope he spills. What a drama. Because everyone's sleeping with each other on the show. Yeah. So how many episodes are there? I think there's 10 in total, but I heard there's a second season.

It's sort of tapering off a bit, so I don't know where they're going to go from here. I'm sure it'll still be great because I'm hooked. But they're being paid like $40 million each, apparently. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. I was like, I'd bloody sing for that too if I could have. Anyway, should we get into my Is It Just Me now? Yes, let's jump in. Is it just me or?

Do you love watching breakfast TV show bloopers on YouTube? There we go, Jenna. I knew you would. Yes, I do. I did this for people like us. I've gone and found the top five breakfast TV show bloopers and they are glorious. This isn't fucking 20 to 1.

Who do you think you are, Fitzy and Whipper? No, I'm telling you, you will like this, okay? And you don't have to be a breakfast TV fanatic to enjoy watching other people screw up. Phoebe, it's sort of like a visionary thing. You can't hear it. When you screw up on radio, it just sounds like someone's having a little moment, but you're going to have to be able to see it, right?

Incorrect. Well, yeah, I deliberately got ones that didn't really require the visuals. I'm not fucking stupid. Okay. All right. No, no, I'm excited. Are these all Australian or require the visuals. I'm not fucking stupid. Okay. All right. All right. No, no, I'm excited. Are these all Australian or is it international?

Yes, they're Australian. Okay. So coming in at number five, we have Natalie Barr, the Sunrise Newsreader, and she cracked up laughing during a news story. It was about two women who were apparently trying to take their dead father onto a flight, right? Because apparently it's quite expensive to, like, export or travel a dead body overseas.

So they're like, let's just put him in the wheelchair and make him look like he's alive. And so Nat was reporting on this story and just apparently struggled to take it seriously. Here it is. Two British women have been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle a dead relative onto a flight to Berlin.

91-year-old Kurt Willie Jarrent's wife and stepdaughter were stopped at check-in when staff became suspicious because he was strapped to his wheelchair wearing sunglasses. Why was he wearing sunglasses? Because first he's blind, second he has his eye was a bit up here and he wanted that other people doesn't look at him. You all right, Dad? The women insist they did not know he was dead. That's gold.

Such an awkward moment, but still a classic. Did she get in trouble for that? Did she face backlash? Apparently there were a lot of complaints sent in afterwards being like, how unprofessional, you're a newsreader, you shouldn't be laughing at this. But this was her explanation for what exactly went wrong. The trouble is I hadn't pre-read it. I pre-read all my news, but I'd gone downstairs

to get some headache tablets and so I hadn't actually read it and I I pre-read all my news, but I'd gone downstairs to get some headache tablets. And so I hadn't actually read it. And I'm thinking, this can't be serious. And his name is Willie. You know what? I was going to say that. I think that's probably what planted the laugh in her head. Willie Smith Johnson. And the fact that he's wearing sunglasses.

Strapped to a wheelchair. I don't think putting sunglasses on someone indoors makes them look more alive. No. Yeah, no. No, you can't just chuck a pair of Maui gyms on a corpse and hope that people think that they've got life in them. Yeah, no. Also, hold on quickly.

If you brought a corpse onto a plane, like if it was dead, like rigor mortis sets in. So they would have needed like an exit rule or something. What's that? Rigor mortis. What's that? It's when your body freezes up like this. Oh, right. And that happens after a

couple of hours yeah right i wonder how long he was dead for dracony smell probably if the story that they're claiming is true that they actually didn't know what a shock finding out that your father's dead by by customs pulling up and going no no he's definitely not alive he's got sunglasses on his strap to a wheelchair. Yeah, what's with the straps? Yeah, that's weird. Straps. So he doesn't fall.

Flop. Like his lifeless corpse to the side. The poor thing. Oh, that's good. Do they get worse? Huh? Do they get worse? Oh, yeah.

Good. See, I would say I've ranked them in order of tension. Number one is very tense, let me tell you. All right. Anyway. Oh, God. Coming in at number four in the top five Brekkie TV bloopers, this one comes from the Today Show.

Carl Stefanovic, right, who's interviewing a farmer who ran a petting zoo. And someone visiting that farm lost their wedding ring because a cow ate it off their finger, right? And so Carl's doing a live cross to the owner of the farm and the nature of these live crosses is that you never really know what the talent is going to say like if something goes wrong live it goes out live so check out what this farmer had to say so this guy went home presumably and told his wife listen I was at the cow farm today and I lost my wedding ring because a cow sucked it off. That's right. Or maybe his wife was asking what else the cow was

sucking off. Maybe I shouldn't have said that on telly. I'm glad you said it brother. I'm glad you said it, brother. Hey. That's so good. Now there's someone that no one really gets surprised when he, like, isn't behaving too seriously. Yeah. He lost his job and then just got hired back because when he left the show, the morning show in Australia, the ratings plummeted. The Today Show. The Today Show.

And so I'm actually keen to ask, like I said, Blake, the Sunrise producer on his way. I want to know what the vibe at Sunrise is like now that Carl's coming back. Yeah. Is that like, oh shit, game on, we've got more staunch competition? Well, he's like the king of the airwaves, really, TV waves. Well, Sunrise were ahead of today, even with Carl there. Really? So it may be a threat, but also may not be.

I don't want to say I'm surprised, but I always thought the way that Today's positioned is that they're number one. We can ask Blake to explain that later on. I really don't know how to explain it. But on that grab, that would have to be a strong suck from a cow. Wedding rings oftentimes are just wedged on there and they're stuck there for years. Speak for yourself. Sorry, it's saucepans.

Not all rings are under as much pressure as you put yours under. Okay, well, he's talking about a finger ring as well. That sounds... could be. What did you think I was talking about? Oh, no, I initially thought you meant... Oh as well. That sounds... Could be. What did you think I was talking about? I don't know. I initially thought you meant... Oh, Mitch. Oh, that is...

That's what I thought you meant! You've ruined the show. Look at us. We'll be in the countdown. Most awkward podcast chats. Number three. Well, coming in at number three here. Sarah Harris from Studio 10.

She's not my boss, but, you know, we love her. Your gal pal. Did you see that video that went viral of her when she nearly shot herself in the face with a nail gun? Are you serious? Oh, it was horrendous. Imagine if that actually happened to her. It didn't, thankfully.

But this one is a little bit visual, so I'm just going to explain. When you hear the audience gasping, that's when she's picked up a nail gun and it's facing the wrong way. And she held it to her face for about 10 seconds trying to find the trigger. Being like, oh, where's the trigger? How do I pull it?

So when you hear the audience gasping, that's her about to shoot herself in the face with a nail gun. That makes me feel sick. And you can definitely hear the moment that she realises her mistake. I remember that day so clearly. Of course you two watch Breakfast in the Bay. I'm on Studio 10, hun. Of course. Everyone should watch.

It's the best one. Anyway, here it is. Can you pick up gun in position number two for me? Yep. Okay. Stop. You're just going... No, no, no, why?

Zero. Zero, which way, which way? No, no, no, no, no, no. Robust as a gun. Robust as a gun. Like that. Like that. Like that.

Right. Like that? Like that? Like that? You're shaking. I know, I can hear my insurance company ringing me up saying, you're not insured anymore. Oh, my God. Right? It was like the longest 10 seconds ever as if you were like, oh, don't bloody press the trigger. I love that you didn't even need to eye the buttress,

being like, no, no, no. Not how you use a nail gun. No, she would have been so calm. Like, Sarah, I would suggest you put it down. That wouldn't be a wise move on your part, Sarah. Back when I was negotiating my contract, I brought an nail gun in. And I pointed it at the CEO's face. And I said, either you can press it or I can press it. What the hell?

But coming in at number two, you know how the breakfast TV shows, they do those cash giveaways, like the Cash Cow. Yes. And in Today Show, they've got I Wake Up With Today. I'm the radio equivalent on our station. Pretty much. You're the cash cock. Thank you.

Yes. So the Today Show, the way their cash calls work is that they call someone who's entered the draw and they have to answer within five rings and say, wake up with today yeah that's the rule if you want to win you have to say that so you can imagine how awkward it would be when sunrise called someone and that was how they answered the phone basically promoting the competition take a listen all right let's do it we've got forty thousand dollars to give away because of course, I think it was Heather yesterday who didn't answer her phone. So Jack potted. Ten rings.

Sounds like me on the sound effects. In Queensland. Could have. You can do it. Oh, attention. I wake up with today. Rose Pringery don't give a stuff about tonight. That's Mel and Koshy from the Sunrise.

The other one. You're so easily bought. Oh, no, no, no, no. I get up so early just for this. Why should we give you $40,000 if you're not that loyal? I am very loyal. You're very loyal? But I only have one TV set.

I go from channel to channel. Because it's Christmas time. Yes. And in the spirit of Christmas and in the spirit of sunrise and in the spirit of fairness, you've won 40 rounds of gold! Thank you, thank you, thank you. So there's a happy ending in that one, right? Yeah, I'm glad they gave it to her.

That would have been cruel. Well, this is where we're headed with number one, Mitchell. Oh, it's not the same woman, is it? No. But over on the Today Show, like I said, the rule is you have to answer with, I wake up with today. So they called someone, Kyle and Lisa, and they didn't answer the phone with the way they were meant to

in order to win the cash prize. And rather than just being like, oh, bad luck, my bad, they didn't answer the phone with the way they were meant to in order to win the cash prize. And rather than just being like, oh, bad luck, my bad, they didn't take it well. And this is what I mean when I say this is the most tense. Here it is. The IGA voucher has jackpotted to $20,000 because both callers missed out yesterday morning. Okay, let's go to our first call for the morning.

And it's Lee Hall from moray field in queensland hope you're awake lee hello oh this is heartbreaking lee it's carl and lisa and you know what we had to give you a twenty thousand dollar voucher i woke up to today. Oh, Lee. You know, I'm sorry. Oh, no, don't say that. Oh, no. Lee, you're up nice and... Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, Lee. Lee, I'll tell you what we'll do, all right? We're not going to give you that money, but we'll pack up something and ship you a hamper, okay? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no, Lee.

Oh, Lee, we're so sorry. We would have loved to have given it to you. We will send you something nice, no. Come on. I can't take it. I know, Lee. Oh, Lee, we're so sorry. We would have loved to have given it to you. We will send you something nice, though. Oh, we're going to send... We're going to... Look, we'll organize something, and we'll send Lee a nice Christmas hamper and...

Don't you worry, Lee. We're looking after you. Yeah, we'll come back to you. Oh, poor Lee. She didn't warm too nicely to the supplementary prize, did she? No. We're going to send you a hamper. She goes, oh, no.

We'll send you out some biscotti and a penitone. What do you think was in the hamper? It would have been half a leg ham and a bottle of French. A Today Show mug, definitely. A miniature doll of the little cash mascot just to rub it in. A fake check. You know, it actually sounds like Jenna when she whimpers. Oh, yeah.

She was like, oh, no. And they played her off like she was at the Oscars. I know. They put the news theme. They're like, cut me. Ready, Jenna? Do your whimper. Ready?

Do your whimper. Get this crying bitch off. We've got the news update. Was Lee in a dungeon of sorts? I think Lee was sending us codes with her whimpers. Was it Morse code? I just love that Lisa rubbed it in. She goes, Lee, you know what we had for you?

A $20,000. Like, fuck, kick her while she's down. It wasn't a very delicate way of delivering that. Lee, you know what we had for you, but you're not getting at all because you're dumb. Carl's like, oh, it says here you've got a broken fibula. You could have used that money, Lee, on the medical bills.

I wake up to today. Yeah, even when she tried to desperately answer, she said it wrong. It's I wake up with today. Poor bitch. Yes, well, like I said, I was ranking them in order of tension. That would be a good thing to ask Blake. Like, what's the leniency?

Are they allowed to just go, give it to her, give her the money? I'll tell you what, when I did work experience at Sunrise, my first day they put me with, like, the integration team and one of the tasks they gave me on my first day of frigging work experience was calling someone who didn't pick up the phone for the cash cow thing. And what do you say to them? Oh, my God. They basically try and beg you for it because they're like, oh, but I was taking my mum to the doctor.

Oh, can I? And it's like there's nothing. They gave me this script to follow and be like, I hear you, but the terms and conditions that you're available on our website do specify. And I'm just like, that was such a shit job to do on day one of work experience. Hi, Lucy.

Yeah, it's Mitch from Sunrise. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Just letting good. How are you? Just letting you know that you haven't won anything. And you know what we had for you, Lee? Is it just me? You can follow the show online.

Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. I'm trying to think, has anything like that happened to you or I'm racking my brain? Because we work on a morning radio show. It's not that different. I know I'm the cash mascot for Kiss, the cash cock. Yeah.

It's just a piss take of the cash cow. Obviously. And I have a thousand bucks on me and I run through the streets of Sydney. And if you catch me or tackle me, it used to be if you tap the cock, you win a thousand bucks. Now, it's if you behead the cock, you get a thousand bucks. So I was running through a park one day, and Kyle and Jackie O were like, all right, the cock is loose, get the cock. So I'm clucking down the street, running down a hill,

and I'm on the side of the Hume Highway, and people are listening in their cars live. Some tradie in his ute hears that the cash cock is in the park next to him. So he just goes in his Hilux, Oh, there's the cock down there. I'm like, ah! Drives off the highway, boom, boom, into the park and chases me. I can't imagine wanting $1,000 so badly that I would drive off the highway into a park.

Yes. And, like, nearly run some absolute buffoon in a cock suit over with my vehicle. Imagine him telling the boys at the pub that night, yeah, lads, big day today, free grand. What did you do, Jeremy? Chased down a giant cock. Jeremy, bro! You've gotten some serious injuries from being the kiss mascot.

Yeah, I was being chased through Blacktown, the suburb in the west of Sydney, and I stood on the leg of a champagne flute. So a champagne flute, the sort of bulb was off and it was just this dam that went straight through my foot. Who leaves a stem of a champagne glass just sitting upright in a park? They're like, oh, it's broken. Oh, well, I'll just leave it there.

Yeah, I know. And it was in a primary school too because I was running on the footpath. This herd of children came for me. So I jumped the fence and it went straight through the rubber. Do you think people would chase you with the same urgency if you had an IGA hamper to give away? Imagine that. If you're too rough on me, I go, Jeremy, Jeremy.

You were a bit rough with the cock. You didn't win the money. But here is an IGA gift card. Here's six apples and a nectarine. Fucking hell. Well, look, it is our breakfast TV themed edition of Is It Just Me? Because Jenna and I are fanatics. If we did a show of everything Jenna and I were obsessed with,

oh, I'm hoping we're going to get McLeod's Daughters theme show across the line. We better. Yeah, for sure. In six shows time, stand by, we're having a show dedicated to Shetland ponies. And then a month later we'll do a Wicked themed show. Yeah, for sure. In six shows' time, stand by. We're having a show dedicated to Shetland ponies. And then a month later, we'll do a Wicked-themed show. Yes, please.

That'd be great. See, my interests abroad, I'd do a food-based show. We could try different foods or we could do like a fun television show one, like what TV shows we like. That's morning. Morning shows. Oh, as if. Well, look, you were the one earlier talking about the new Apple Plus TV show,

Morning Wars. Yes. And I think that has really generated a lot of interest about what goes on behind the scenes of breakfast TV shows. Yeah. And certainly in Australia now is a really interesting time with all the chopping and changing and changing of hosts over at the Today Show. And there's a lot of staunch competition between them and Sunrise. show and there's a lot of staunch competition between them and Sunrise. So we thought we'd get a Sunrise producer on, a friend of ours, Blake, who can confirm or deny how accurate that Apple TV show is about what it's like to work behind the scenes. Yeah.

And also just talk about what his experience is like at Sunrise because I'm so curious. So he's on the way. Is he in the green room? Where is he? We don't have a green room. We're not a radio show. Is he in the closet? No, he's here.

Where is he? He's just out there. Did you let him in? Yeah. Jenna, go get him. Jenna, get out. So you could have kept him company if I left you out there on the other side of the glass. Oh, my God.

Go get him, Jenna. Bloody hell. Why is she cantering? Shut up. She looks like a Pokemon. She'll be asking for a Startle Club theme show soon. I know, she will. It's not going to happen.

Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Here he is. It's here. Hi. Thanks for letting me in. That's right. We're so sorry.

God, she's horrendous. She's deeply incompetent. Take a seat there. I'm sorry. It was a mistake. It's all right. Sit down, please. Do I need to put these on?

Yeah, put the headphones on. Did you get any headphones? Try to plug it in. Yeah, plug it in and then put them over seat there. I'm sorry. Sit down, please. Do I need to put these on? Did you get any headphones? Do I plug it in? Yeah, plug it in and then put them over your ears. There we go. I understand the concept of headphones. We are so slick. That's what I love about this show. I know, right?

My gosh. I was saying earlier that I was nervous about mispronouncing your last name. Can you tell me exactly what it is? Can you tell me how you think you pronounce it? I was just going to say Nadillo. And I was going to say Nadillo. It's Nadillo. But what's very interesting? I was just going to say Nadillo. And I was going to say Nadillo. It's Nadillo, but what's very interesting is that my dad pronounces it Nadillo, because he

thinks that that's how people will remember how to spell it, because if you say Nadillo, people think it's a double L. Yeah, it is actually. But it's one L. Oh. So he tells people over the phone, he's like, yeah, Nadillo. My dad does the same. I'm Mitch Chury, and everyone calls the family the Churies, but he calls us Shuries, like it's a shoe.

I hate that. When you ask someone, oh, is it pronounced this way or that way, and they go, either's fine. No, I need to know. No, I know. So anyway, Blake Nadillo is your name. You're a senior producer at Sunrise, correct? Correct.

Were you a breakfast TV fanatic before you got the job? Obsessed. So I actually, I'm from Perth, and what you need to know about perth to give you context is that channel seven particularly sunrise is the key that nobody watches any other channel it is wa he's obsessed with seven and as was my family and my sister is seven years younger than me and i would pretend to be david kosh oh my god she had to be whatever guest i decided that she was going to be that day so i knew from like when i was eight years old that i had to be whatever guest I decided that she was going to be that day. So I knew from like when I was eight years old that I had to work at Sunrise.

I had to find a way there. Have you told Koshi that? Yeah, I have. What's he said? I actually think I said it in my interview. And it got me the job. Koshi, nothing fazes him. He gets it all the time.

Yeah. So he's a smart guy. Nothing will get past him. Got it. He also runs a separate business. Koshi's Small Business Builder. I think I've seen a book. Oh, yeah.

That's another show. Anyway, it's just... Yeah, The Barefoot Investor, The Barehead Investor. Oh, no, you can't mention The Barefoot Investor. I actually said to him, and I said, do you think I should get The Barefoot Investor book? Because everyone's talking about it. Yeah.

The daggers I got. Okay. Literally the daggers. He, I mean, he's his direct competition. Koshi has his own book. I never thought about that. Do we have to cut that out? You don't have to cut it out.

Oh, I think so. We can't talk about that. No, I mean like to him. Oh, I feel like we're walking on eggshells. If you talk to him, see him in the street, just don't mention the Barefoot Investor. I'm not going to mention the Barefoot Investor. So has the job ruined it for you? Like you're still a Breakfast TV fan now or is working in it kind of spoiled the magic of it?

I think in order to have longevity in a job like this, you have to love it still. Like you can't get up, you can't go to work at 3.30 every morning and not like it. So yes, it has ruined it for me because it's not as glamorous. It's not as interesting because I do it every day. But I still love it. Yeah, okay. Well, there you go. You're officially outnumbered, Mitch. There's three of us against one.

Breakfast TV fanatics. You don't like breakfast TV. No, I do. I'm just never up. My show airs at midnight. It finishes at midnight. So I'm asleep. I wake up at 11.

Excuses. Excuses. I couldn't. Jenna and I were like tragics as we were growing up for breakfast TV. So we're nerding out hard right now. But you guys are from New South Wales, right? Yes. So who did you do?

Did you wake up with Today? Yes, I did. Yeah, okay. Wow, that's why you kept me out there for so long. Maybe. Jenna's got a Carl Stefanovic tattoo on her lower back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, speaking of the Today show, obviously Sunrise and Today

have been in staunch competition for as long as they've both been around. But recently Sunrise haven't had as much of a hard task on their hand because obviously the Today Show got rid of Carl and their ratings have not been favoured after that. And now they've just announced that they're bringing back Carl Stefanovic. So I just need to know. I want to be a fly on the wall in the Sunrise office.

First, when he was fired and it was announced that Deb Knight was stepping in alongside Georgie Gardner. You love Deb Knight, don't you, Jenna? Oh, I do. I'm a sucker for Deb. How do you feel about Deb? I think Deb's a great, I think she's a great newsreader. I agree.

She's a brilliant newsreader. And so is Georgie Gardner. Yeah. Maybe they, obviously they weren't as successful. Because in breakfast TV, you have to offer up part of yourself, a lot of yourself. And maybe she didn't suit that as much as she does. She's a great 6pm newsreader, though. I agree with you there.

I remember when Georgie and Deb came into Kiss to be interviewed by Kyle and Jackie O. And they're like, yeah, we're really looking forward to, you know, finding our banter. And I was like, oh, if you don't have it already, then that's not great. And we weren't sure. I remember when Deb and Georgie were announced, the first show they had together, obviously the ratings come out the next day. So the next time we

all rushed to the email to check what the ratings were, because we didn't know. People might love two female hosts. So you guys actually didn't know. We had no idea if Australia were going to like it. If they were going to be a threat or not. Or if people were going to tune in just to see what was going to happen. And they didn't. What happened?

I actually don't know. How did they rate on their first day? Terribly. Well, not terribly. You think on your first day people would at least tune in just to take a look at it and see what it was going to look like. And they didn't really do that. Oh, no. There was a lot of boycott today when Carl left.

Really? So anyway, what was it like the day that Carl was axed over at Sunrise? Were you guys like popping champagne, being like, shit, yeah? No, no one was popping champagne. Just to clarify, when somebody loses their job in this industry, it sucks for, like, it's not nice. Because you know how hard it is to get to work here, right? So no one felt good about it.

But to give you context. Yeah. So I remember the day Lisa left the show abruptly. Yeah. That was such a big deal. And I remember that day more than I do the Carl day. I remember it because we have a segment on, well, we used to have a segment on Sunrise

where we'd go through every front page of the newspaper. But on every front page of the newspaper, all around the country was Lisa's departure. So we thought, well, let's just not do that today. Let's do page two today. We just did it. We just dropped the segment. And that was a shock because no one was expecting that. But the lead up to Carl leaving, we knew he was going to leave.

Something had to give, right? Because they were rating poorly. They were rating poorly and every day there seemed to be a news story about his personal life. And when a news personality becomes the news, there's an issue. I feel like I see the Sunrise hosts in the press a lot. Is that a problem? Nobody likes reading stories about themselves in the Daily Mail.

Well, no. Well, I mean, I probably would if I had to. I was going to say, I don't love it. Yeah, you, I know you, you definitely would. I'll pick your part. But, um, yes, yeah, it is a problem, of course, because when that becomes more newsworthy than the news you're reading on an autocue,

then, yeah, it is annoying. And it's annoying for them. Like, you know, you already offer up so much of yourself every single morning for three and a half hours. There are some things you want to keep just to yourself. I know. And the amount of fucking drones poor Sam Armitage has had above her pool.

I mean, for Christ's sake, give her a shotgun and let her shoot them down. Every day. Every day, poor Sam. She's like, another drone in my backyard. Do you want to see her nude? Do you want to see her cooking? Do you want to see her cooking? What do you want to see this poor woman doing?

I know. She'd be a good aim too. She wouldn't miss the drone. Oh, yeah, I know. She's a good country girl. She strikes me as someone who's very good at archery. Give her a bow and arrow, she'll get rid of that thing. On Sam Armitage, I remember, because my mum is a fanatic.

My mum's like, the three of you disgusting fools. And she is diehard. This is the one episode of this podcast she'll actually listen to. What's her name again? Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Can she invite me over for a tea or something? Or a baguette?

Is she French or is that your dad? No, it's dad. No, mum will invite you over for a rosé, trust me. But a shardy. The day Sam Armitage was announced, she was so ecstatic. She was like, I've been watching her, I've been watching her, and she was doing this and she was doing that, and she was sad to see Mel Doyle go.

She'll be great on Sunday night, she said. Well, that's so well for me. Let's be real. But what's it like to work with Sam? Because she's a bit of a pro, right? She is a total pro. So I was, as I said, a huge fanatic of Breakfast TV. So imagine my first day walking in and seeing these people who I have literally been watching forever and in a way kind of idolized.

But Sam is my favorite. Like, I think she, I don't mean it as like, I don't, I just love working with her because we have the same, she has a really wicked sense of humor. She'll tell you when something's shit um in a non-offensive way uh and she just she just keeps you on a sheet i really like working with her i get along with her very well one thing i liked about sam was because i they did a live cross to me in bogengate my hometown when i had a video go viral and she invited me on air to come in for work experience. I bloody held them to it, of course. And when I went in all these months later, she actually goes, oh, Mitchell Coons from Bogengate, how are you?

And so I was like, the amount of people you probably do live crosses to on a daily basis, let alone like within that space of a few months. I did not expect her to remember me at all, but she knew my name, knew where I was from. She was probably studying or something the night before. But yeah, I was like, oh, that's so nice. Yeah the night before. But yeah, I was like, that's so nice. Yeah, exactly. Someone's in her ear being like, that's Mitchell. So does that happen?

Do you give her? That's hilarious. Imagine that. Are you in her ear? Absolutely. You have to be. You have to be. Get fucked.

I did not know that. Sometimes you get so used to them and you see them go to say something and you can see them going, oh, fuck, I forgot that person's name or what I'm talking about. And you just have to be like, oh, you know, it's Julie. She's got cancer. I don't think I could do that. I'm going to try and speak to you, Blake. Mitch, you just whisper stage directions in my ear.

I'll see if I can keep the sentence going. Because I reckon I couldn't do two things at once. Yeah, cool, go. Okay, so coming back to the whole Georgie and Deb Knight thing, obviously it would have been interesting going into that with a new duo. Do the salary on Carl and then ask about the car. I can't do it. Did he have a car park?

So obviously the double female presenter thing, that went really well for the Today Show in the US. Don't say female, say women. We prefer women. Why do you think it worked for the Today Show in the US with two females and not in Australia? Breaking impeachment news, Donald Trump has been killed. Because the women in the US had... So Savannah and Hoda came off the back of the Matt Lauer saga. This is great.

And people were sick of men. They were pissed off. They were angry and they thought, yes, girl power. And Hoda was already part of that team. And Savannah and Hoda are actually best friends in real life. Yes, I love these two because I love... I didn't get to say this because you two just attacked me with a tsunami of morning show.

I love late-night programming in the US. So I love Saturday Night Live. So I then have Hoda. They do impressions of Hoda. Kathie Lee Gifford. Oh, drinking wine. That would be the best show to produce. They just pour them a glass of wine and let them go.

By the way, we're talking about the US version of the Today Show. The fourth hour of the Today Show. Is it 11am? 11, yes. And they drink white wine. Yes, they've got two chicks that are drinking white wine. It's a whole vibe. I wish people drank on morning TV here.

But one of those two girls is now doing the actual main Today Show as well. I thought that she was besties with the 11 o'clock girl. Same. And now you're telling me she's besties. She is. Her and Kathie Lee Gifford are very close friends. You can't have two best friends with the 11 o'clock girl. Same. And now you're telling me she's besties. She is. Her and Kathie Lee Gifford are very close friends. You can't have two best friends. Yes, you can. You absolutely can. Me and you and Jenna

and I were all best friends, yeah? But I don't go off and do a show separately with Jenna. True, actually. But Kathie Lee Gifford's gone now. Is she? Yes. Now it's Jenna Bush Hager, former first daughter. It actually is a Jenna. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Let's cross to the show now. She's like, breaking news.

In a little bruise herself. That sounds sort of like our sister show. So I get in every morning and I always scroll through to see what they've done. Hoda's a professional. I love Hoda. Yeah. So you're copying the Today Show US to your own admission? We don't copy. You just have inspiration.

Yeah, of course. Of course. You've got to. So a lot of people compare Sunrise and the Today Show here, obviously. Yeah. The two Aussie breakfast shows. What would you say the differences are between Sunrise and the Today Show here, obviously. Yeah. The two Aussie breakfast shows. What would you say the differences are between Sunrise and the Today Show? I guess the difference is the personalities on air.

And that's what makes or breaks a TV show. So the success of any breakfast TV show hinges on if people at home think that the people they're watching get along and are friends in real life. Oh, gosh. And I think people- Imagine if I wasn't allowed to insult you, Mitch. I know, right? We'd lose all our four listeners. Well, sorry, you can insult.

That's fine. It's just as long as, you know, like, Koshi and Sam have a great- they come from completely different backgrounds. Deb and Georgie just look- first of all, they look the same, and they're also, you know, know middle aged white women from Mossman like privileged yeah you know so I think that was unrelatable for people and I think

the personalities on air the dynamic on air is what makes or breaks the show the producers we could interchange we could write the writing styles the same what you know the stories are the same it's the on air talent that make or break it. Right so now that they've announced that Carl Stefanovic is coming back to the Today Show because ratings weren't great without him, again, what's the vibe in the Sunrise office on that?

Is it like, oh, game on. They're going to be more close in competition. Well, we never got complacent. We never just, I mean, Sunrise has won the ratings for 15 years. We haven't ever got complacent. Obviously, this year the margin was much bigger than it had been before. But, yeah, we never got complacent. And people talk and we knew that this was coming.

And I think they had to bring him back. I think, what other option did they have? I didn't think that he would do it because he said so openly that he didn't. He was, like, happy to not be there anymore. It's less money, though, I heard. A lot less. Well, I think that's, I don't know that he would do it because he said so openly that he was happy to not be there anymore. It's less money, though, I heard. A lot less. Well, I don't know if that's true. I think that's a really great way of winning back the viewers, saying, well, look, it was my mea culpa, whatever.

I'm coming back. I'm taking less money. I'm doing it for the people. And I think if the Today Show says to their audience, we made a mistake. We listened to you. We heard you. We're bringing him back. It's like a Sonic the Hedgehog thing.

It's like the trailer dropped. It was terrible. Yes. And everyone's like, okay, well, We listened to you. We heard you. We're bringing him back. It's like a Sonic the Hedgehog thing. It's like the trailer dropped. It was terrible. Yes. And everyone's like, okay, well, they listened to us. So we'll watch it. And I think the audience will respect that. So yeah, of course we're worried because we always are. Yeah.

But he was axed in the first place for a reason. Yeah. So maybe people just remember that. Yeah. I don't know. Probably. So he's being paired with Alison Langdon. Yeah. Who is a 60 Minutes reporter.

And I haven't seen heaps of personality from her. I'm not doubting her. But what do you think she's going to be like as Carl's new co-host? I think she's a good balance. Because Carl has enough personality for everybody. True. Yeah. So she's a great... And she's also a great journalist.

She was hosting Weekend Today and did really well with David Campbell. I think she still is. Well, she is. Yeah. Yeah, until. Exactly. Gotcha. So I think it's a great choice.

I think she's a really good balance. And I don't know her personally, but I know people who work with her and I've heard amazing things. Apparently she's very lovely. How do you feel about Alison Langdon Jenner? Because you were devastated when Georgie Gardner left Today Show. I was, but I am a fan of Alison Langdon, I must admit. Yes, she's been doing great bushfire coverage lately. She has actually.

Yes, look forward to seeing her. Why were you sad when Georgie Gardner left? You know, I grew up with Georgie. Georgie's Jenner's auntie So, yeah, that makes sense. Yes. When Georgie Gardner was first brought in to replace Lisa alongside Carl, I was like, see, I liked Georgie as a newsreader. Not sure how this is going to go.

But Jenna was absolutely beside herself. She goes, I love Georgie. I was very happy. But I wasn't too sure about the dynamic between Deb and Georgie. No, they're too new. Or Georgie and Carl. That didn't work either, did it? I actually enjoyed the fact that they could quite clearly not stand each other.

That's what I loved. I loved that they had to stand each other. There's kind of like sexual tension. There's some sexual tension there. I thought so. There was a bit. Carl with anyone. But he makes it all pop, like, Christ.

Yeah, he's kind of like, I get this sex appeal of Carl. I totally get it. Yeah, people like that. I want to know, so obviously talent's very important, right? Is it true they're paid through the roof? Like, are they just like, surely you can't give us numbers and you probably don't even know. But it would be public knowledge what Koshi and Sam are on, right?

I don't know what they earn. I have an idea, but I don't actually know, nor would I ever ask them. No, of course. In the ear? In the ear thing? How much you on, Sam? I'm talking to a bushfire survivor.

How much you on? Tell me. Do you want a copy? Your shout, obviously. No, I do make jokes about how much money they have all the time. I do. So today, actually today, Koshi said, I was talking about how once I was burgled. And he said, I've never been burgled. And I was like, well, you know, when you have 24-hour security, it's easy once I was burgled. And he said, I've never been burgled.

And I was like, well, you know, when you have 24-hour security, it's easy not to get burgled. Obviously, and we've been to, he had a Christmas party at his house. You were going to say mansion, weren't you? Yeah. At his estate. But, yeah, of course they earn a lot of money. Yeah.

Because they have, the same as Carl and Jackie O earn, the same as any, when you're. Kiss nights, yeah. I'm sure you earn a lot of money. Yeah. Because they have to. The same as Carl and Jackie O earn. The same as any. Kiss nights, yeah. I'm sure you earn a lot of money. My idiot person's telling me to shut up. But they have to. They get paid what they're worth. Yeah, agreed.

And that's all I'll say about that. Yeah, good, good. You used to work really closely with Edwina Bartholomew, right? She's on maternity leave now. Yeah, because I produced the entertainment in the mornings. And that was what she did, right? Uh-huh. She's fun.

I like her. She is really great. I love her dearly. She seems like a lot of fun. She seems like someone who would go off script. How much of it is scripted versus unscripted on that show? It's all scripted. It has to be scripted. Right much of it is scripted versus unscripted on that show? I think it's all, well, it's all scripted. It has to be scripted. Right.

Because it's the news. You can't ad-lib the news, right? Oh, but for some reason, I just, maybe in her delivery, I just felt like Edwina was just telling it in her words. Like, she wasn't actually saying it to a script. Well, I'm going to take that as a compliment because I think after working with her for so long, I got used to her tone.

You write how she thinks. Yeah. Well done. Yeah. And she doesn't really, she's stuck to the script. Gotcha. As she should because it's so well written. You're going to link everything back to you being talented.

Yeah. I talk in their ear. I write their scripts. I fucking dress them. Well, I do give advice on the outfits. Has Koshy ever walked out in a mauve tie and you've got David Kosh, polish your head and put a different color tie on no have you ever offended any of them by giving feedback on their outfit um i have like i've i'm

very you know i'm very big on facial expressions and i think it says a lot when sam will walk into the control i mean i'll just look like this she's like what what and and i think i upset her sometimes with that but i mean just you give her a glance and she notices. I just do the up and down. Oh, my God. Yeah. What was the original question? I said how much of it is scripted versus unscripted.

Oh, okay. Because she seems really casual and like she's not reading the script. Eddie was first a producer before she was on air talent. Yeah. She did my exact job. Didn't she win a competition or something to get that job? She was an intern. Yeah, something like that. job. Didn't she win a competition or something to get that job? She was an intern. Yeah, something like that.

How did she get on air? She, I guess, right place, right time, I guess. I don't know. She was a producer and then they needed, and then she went away, did some radio, and then she came back as a reporter and then was the weather girl for a very long time. So she is a producer before she was on Air Talent.

So she's the only one of them who will write their own packages and write their own scripts because she can't. How does it work being a designated producer for a particular presenter? Do they come to you being like, hey, I think we should cover this story, write it up, or do you just write it and say this is what you're covering and they go, all right, I'm not particularly invested in it, but I'll just read what you tell me to? Yeah, the latter.

Really? Yeah. I think with Eddie, I will always send her like,, but I'll just read what you tell me to. Yeah, the latter. Really? Yeah. I think with Eddie, I will always send her, like, this is what we're going to do today. And then she'll be like, great. And then if she sees something, she'll send it to me and say, let's include this as well. And she's the one who has to read it out loud,

so I just trust her, you know, what she wants to do. But, no, they generally trust us because we get there before them. We're across it more than they can be across it. Yeah, right. Yeah. God, I feel like I couldn't do that because unless I'm like actually invested in an idea or a story or something,

I feel like I wouldn't be able to do it. See, that sounds like bliss for me. Sometimes I come in and I literally self-produce everything. I'm like, I wish it was just given to me and I could just do it. I think it'd be fun. Yeah, well, and it's too much

work it's too much work they it's so much energy to be on there for three and a half hours every day you can't also produce the show yeah yeah you're telling me i know that's the beauty of the way we start the show mitch doing our is it just me's is that like it's not because we don't know what the other's gonna be yeah you probably love that but i get so nervous right before you do yours because i'm like what if i have nothing to say on what he's talking about really because i'm not planned yeah i would hate doing what you do with eddie and like giving her the stuff and just her just reading it without having much say over it i would be like no i want to be involved in the process yeah i think it's always funny when the host wrote to edwina or something and said, Edwina's

been following this story, Eddie. It's like, no, she hasn't. I did. And I wrote it for her. But anyway. I want to know, you've been watching Morning Wars? Of course. We were talking about it at the start of the show.

That was my idjim asking if you're obsessed. We all are. Jenna hasn't watched it yet. Please, no spoilers. But quite clearly. It makes no sense that you haven't watched it. Yeah. Come on, Jenna.

I don't have time. Okay. I'll watch it this morning. sense that you haven't watched it. Yeah, come on, Jenna. I don't have time, okay? I'll watch it this morning. It's $8.99 a month, Jenna. We pay a $9.99 a month, so she'll have some change left over. Jenna, you have to watch it. I am going to. You can get the Apple Plus bloody seven-day thing and cancel it after seven days.

You'll be right. You'll love it. Or buy a new iPhone to get it for free. That's what I did. That's what Coombs did. That sounds like a way more expensive option. I know, but you also get a new phone how true to life is that show because if you haven't seen it it's we spoke about it you don't need to recap it um but how how true to life is it is it legit it is scarily accurate um there are moments in it where i think did they bug our

office like it's just so bizarre see that show makes working in breakfast TV look so intense and political even. It is. It just looks like such a mind game. There is nowhere else in the world like a breakfast TV control room. The words that get said, the things people say. Yes, I remember from when I did work experience at Sunrise. I was like, thank God there's no mics in here. Yes, that's where the real show is.

Yeah. It's behind the scenes. A lot of fun. That's cool. And which is why Morning Wars is so great because it shows you what goes on behind the scenes and it's very true to life. Is everyone, now I don't want specifics and not even talent,

I'm just asking about the team. Is everyone sleeping with each other? Because I think it just happens in an office space. People work together, they learn about each other. It's intimate. Like you're in high stress moments. You're in really, you know, there's a lot of levity. Like are people sleeping with each other in the office?

There's a lot of young gay men at the Sunrise office. Yeah, of course. That's behind the scenes of any media show really. Exactly right. Yeah. I don't know. I've never slept with anyone at sunrise that's not what i was asking but thank you that'll be the hell but yeah but of course like

they're also remember we're in the channel 7 building and there's there's news producers downstairs and there's other shows they get so you know the the channel 7 christmas party absolutely people are going for really oh of course i'm sure it's the same here right here i mean david caution his pajamas i wouldn't say no dive'm sure it's the same here, right? Yeah, I mean, David Kosher in his pyjamas. I wouldn't say no. Dive right in. There's the barefoot investor. Yeah. So what exactly... Sorry, I will cut the barefoot investor reference.

I'm not cutting it. You're right. You have great facial expressions because I just felt like I was about to be let go. I could see the severance package coming out of your pocket. So what exactly about the show Morning Wars were you like, oh my God, that is scarily accurate? Like what details? about the show Morning Wars were you like oh my god that is scarily accurate like what details um there is a particular moment where um I had been asked at work if I had leaked a story about someone who will be on I won't say who yeah there's like five people on Sunrise you can

narrow it down well I did and which I didn't of course I didn't leak the story because actually I don't even know how to like I wouldn't even know how to leak it. I wouldn't even know who. I agree. Do you just tweet them? I've been asked the same here and I agree. I was like, I don't even know how. And I obviously didn't. And then there's a scene in Morning Wars where Jennifer Aniston is walking down.

She's walking the halls of, no spoilers, Jenna. Sorry, you might want to cover your ear. So she's walking down the hallway in the middle of the night. And then the story leaks about how she was doing exactly that And then she talks to her husband and says Oh, like someone leaked a story about me walking the hallways at night time And he says, well, were you? She said, yes, but that's beside the point Someone leaked a story about me

And that conversation has happened countless times in The Sunrise Really? So they're like, who was it? Who was it? And imagine like going to She can come back. Jenna is fine. Yeah, you're back, Jenna.

I didn't expect her to have the heart attack, but when it happened on air, I was like, fuck. Oh, Jenna! You said you were going to get down. When Jenna Aniston dies. Yeah, when she dies on screen, it's awful. We were playing the moment that Jennifer Aniston sang earlier. Oh, what a great voice she has.

Should we get another little snippet? I didn't hate it, but I just thought it was a bit, like, I don't need it, you know what I mean? But, you know, anyway, here it is. Jennifer Aniston singing. Others can desert you, not to worry. Whistle, I'll be there. Not to worry, everyone.

Demons will charm you with a smile for a while Well, that's enough. It sounds like a haunted version of Ring Around a Rosie. It's not as bad as you think. Have a while, deep inside But you didn't expect her to have any sort of singing voice, did you? No, not at all. You're right.

So she's doing all right. You're right, actually. That's never happened at Sunrise. Sam Arwitty just like... No, she's never sung to me. Where's my sandwich? It's not here! Were you working at Sunrise when they, are we just like... No, she's never sung to me. Where's my sandwich? It's not here! Were you working at Sunrise when they did that bloody Sex and the City thing?

I wasn't. That was just before I worked. What is that? What happened? Oh, it was this segment that they did. One of the stars of Sex and the City was on Sunrise. Charlotte. To promote...

Kirsten, whatever her name is. She was talking about some refugee thing that she'd been doing, some work, I don't know. And so they did this table reading where Sam was one of the characters, Nat was one. Some work. I don't know. And so they did this, like, table reading where, like, Sam was one of the characters. Nat was one of the characters. I do remember this. They read the script and they had wigs on. It was meant to just be, like, cringe and, like, a piss take. It's because Sam is a diehard Sex and the City fan.

But the actress from Sex and the City on the show, can't remember her name again. Kirsten Davis? Kirsten Davis. She was just looking out. Like, her eyes went off camera to her team, like, fucking help me. Oh, no. And so it was just the most, it could have been a laugh, but because she wasn't playing ball, it was just cringe. Oh, so you weren't there.

That wasn't your stuff up. Although it's no one's stuff up. But I've had plenty of stuff up since I've been there. Really? And I just feel like, you know, we all get up every morning, we try and do the right thing. Yes. And sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a miss. They're part of the job in media, what have your stuff ups been um there's one input a really big one that i

i can't i don't want to take any responsibility for that publicly okay um but there was this you know a couple big ones controversy you tweeted off eddie's phone No Oh sorry I'm thinking of Joking No No But yeah So there have been Many many moments

Where I've made Some errors And you know That's just part of the job Yeah I agree It comes hand in hand It's funny because When these big controversies happen

They don't feel like errors At the time You don't expect The fallout to be As big as it ends up being No Can I just say It's hard being Like I'm not comparing myself controversies happen they don't feel like errors at the time you don't expect the fallout to be as big as it ends up being no and can i just say it's hard being like i'm not comparing myself at all and even as i started saying this i'm like i'm gonna sound like a fucker but when you're on air and like you're expected to be pushing out a product and you're talking as much as you are

and trying to be as entertaining sometimes you just say what comes into your head because you have to feel and you have to you just go with what is happening and it's hard like i've delivered things wrong that people have paid a hundred thousand dollars for and it's like it just happens so you don't do it intentionally you don't wake up and go i'm gonna do these and there are some things that offend that don't offend you that offend other people and you just can't be across everyone's you know offensive meter yeah like there was there was one day in particular where protesters had gathered outside work and they were banging on the door. And we were like, this is terrible.

Like, it's actually terrifying. I had no idea that a decision that was made at 3.30 in the morning was going to upset this many people. But it's also a reminder of the reach you have, right? And the great responsibility that comes with that. People trust you to deliver them the news. And sometimes, unfortunately, you get it wrong. You know, there was actually a lot of things that i had to crop out i don't know whether you were nervous mitch or what but i think it was the first and second show there were these like there was do you remember jenna how he said like five offensive things in one show that i had to cut out

yeah it was bad and like you're saying now oh you just have to fill the space you just say whatever comes to mind and i was like your mind's fucked. He said some really fucked things. What do you mean? I'm not going to repeat them. No. So, yes, I've had to. It's something about this room, is it? They just set you up.

Yeah, or the chair. Yeah. It just can't be out there. Well, way to bring the mood down. I'm just going to go to something to really chill. I need to relax. She knows her words, everyone. Okay, I'm back now. She sounds good words, everyone. Okay, I'm back.

She sounds good when she's singing with the other guy. When it's solo, it's a bit... She knows the words. Give her a fucking break. Of course she does. Wait till you see the show. It'll make sense in context. Yeah, right.

Well, that's straight after she gets shot. Straight after she gets shot. She sings from the grave. She becomes like a ghost. Straight after she gets shot. she sings. She sings from the grave. She becomes like a ghost. Straight after she gets shot. Who did this? Terrible. Did you ever work with Mel Doyle or only in the Sam days?

I've only come into Sunrise since Sam Armitage's reign. Okay. Fair enough. Question. Who would take their jobs if they were to leave tomorrow? Like, who's in the wings waiting? Oh, everyone's in the wings waiting. Is that how it works? Everyone's like, I want it, I want it, I want it. Like, who's in the wings waiting? Oh, everyone's in the wings waiting. Is that how it works?

Everyone's like, I want it, I want it, I want it. Well, of course you want it. It's the best job in television. There isn't a better job than that. I remember one day, Koshi got stuck in the lift at work for literally, like, 45 minutes. Oh, shit.

And he came out and he was like, you know, he mentioned, he reeled off a list of names of like, did this person call up? Did this person call up? this person call up because you know everyone's waiting for and koshi's not getting any younger like you know eventually someone's gonna have to take his job i don't know who would be i don't think anyone can fill his shoes well he's actually scaled back to only four days a week right yeah so it's nat and sam on a friday is that right it depends on the day that he he chooses the day oh so he just goes i'm gonna normally it's normally a friday okay what was was there any reaction there with the audience

just noticing koshi was away one day a week nobody well no one announced it yeah that's what i noticed it just started happening this is news to me i didn't know so it's working very well ellen does that now too she only does four days a week you're kidding yeah i have noticed a guest host on a friday i just thought she had bronchitis or something. No. Every Friday for seven weeks. Well, yeah. They might, yeah.

All that dancing. Everyone's doing it. But he, um. Everyone's doing it. Anyway, yeah. What actually happens on Sunrise if one of the presenters is suddenly away? Because obviously if they've given notice, it's fine. You get a feeling or whatever.

But surely they'd give you plenty of notice, right? A good example is maybe four, only four weeks ago, Sam called in sick at about 3 a.m. in the morning. Okay. And I got to work and had found out that she was sick and the producer who gets it earlier, he said to me, can you start calling people? So I just had to call.

So we knew that Nat would move up the desk and she'd do Sam's role. And then we needed to find a newsreader. And I was calling literally everybody. See, I would have thought it'd be the other way around. Like there'd be a bunch of newsreaders being like, now it's my turn, now it's my turn. Yeah, but they're all asleep.

Is it hard to convince someone to come in or are they like... You feel terrible calling someone at 3.30 in the morning and say, hey, do you mind running in? And who is it? Was there anyone that didn't answer that you called? I called Edwina a lot, but she was still asleep and she wouldn't have made it in time. Had she already gone on maternity leave?

No, no, no. She was towards the end of her pregnancy. Well, she's still pregnant. But just before she left, started um coming in a little bit later because right i know she was pregnant i don't know what that's like um and there so i ended up calling angela cox you know her yeah she was away on the gold coast um beach and angie ended up coming in filling in yeah yeah she is like the most beautiful person in real life i have ever seen

She's amazing There you go, that's so interesting What do you think of, who are the two, Julia Gillies? Kylie Gillies Julia Gillard I'm thinking of Kylie Gillies and the short one Larry Emder You were not researching

They're on No, right? No They're the show after I love them, I think they're great Do you? Yep, they're my favourite two on television. Clearly you've not connected with them. You don't know their names or station.

We're on the cloud. You just blaspheme me. Anyway, I love those two and I would watch them day in, day out. Wow. They are very funny. They have great chemistry together. Great chemistry. He's funny.

She's funny. Very nice. Got a sponsorship with BMW. She's just so good. Oh, yeah. She does. And also, Larry's daughter works in the graphics team at Channel 7, and she is stunning as well.

His son is gorgeous, too. Oh, he's so hot, his son. What does he do? He's a model, I think. You might see him on the side of a bus for like a paddle pop ad or some shit. Really? Yeah. You just look at it.

It's one of those faces that you go, I bloody know you, and then you realise, oh, it's Larry and his son. I think their show is phenomenal. Really? I really like it. How's one of those faces that you go, I bloody know you. And then you realise, oh, it's Larry Anderson. I think their show is phenomenal. Really? I really like it. How good is Studio 10, though? I'm obsessed with it. Well, look.

What was that? What are they like on Studio 10? What's it like to work for them? Well, I've only just filmed packages for them on the road. So you've not actually met? Oh, no, I've met them all. Oh, you have? I've met them all.

But I can't really comment on what the office is like because I don't work in the office with them. Yeah. I just had to chime in there with waving the Studio 10 banner when you were all squirting over the morning show. I also just feel like, in what you mentioned before, how talent is so important. And it's like, welcome to the family.

It's massive in the morning show. It's like, I just kind of feel... There's jammed too many people. So many people. I can't like all of you. And also, I love Denise Drysdale and I love that, but I just think it needs to freshen up. No, that's what I like about it,

that there's not just the two people on there. I like that there's multiple. I like how random it is. Yeah, and it's different every day. Yeah, but that's like, is it trying to be a bit like The View? Yeah. I reckon it's, I see it more like The Project. I like that it's different hosts most nights.

I think The Project's a good point. The Project really nails it. Do you like The Project? No. Why not? I don't get the humour. Like, I don't get... It just doesn't appeal to me.

I think Carrie is really funny and I like her a lot. Wally doesn't really do it for me. Like, I think, like, stop telling me what to believe. Like, I'll make that decision for myself. Sometimes the project seems a little bit too scripted, even the jokes and stuff and the banter. know what it really annoys me about the project is that they have this segment where they poke fun of the media particularly breakfast television they made a joke about um georgie and deb recently and there was a really awkward um moment between

georgie deb and tony jones yeah and they like poked fun of it and I thought that show is mainly recorded pre-recorded at 4pm and it goes for an hour it's easy not to have any awkward moments when that happens yeah so like

you know bit of a cop out yeah I tend to click better with the unscripted and like loose content which is why the project

being so fast paced is kind of like what which is why I tend to edit this show as least as I can yeah unless you say something really fucked yeah and i'm learning i'm learning now you also have comedy writers on that show yeah which is and they which we don't have it's just us right too much well i have a question so i feel like we're at q a i have a question a darning um and i feel like the school kid you know that school kid that did really well

like he could string three words together and and everyone's like, this should be the Prime Minister. Let him do his fucking nap plan. Okay, get on with it. Sorry. Late night programming. I'm obsessed. And I love the late show, the Tonight Show, the late, late show, everything.

I've seen them all. Love it. I think we need it here. But I also think that there's not really a market for it. Well, they tried that, didn't they? It doesn't work. But what with? What do they have?

Well, Rove was that, and then he came back recently, and flopped but that was all wrong they shouldn't have got they shouldn't have had him saturday night was terrible night who's watching tv on a saturday night exactly right like we're bringing family fun back to saturday night i know do you think we could have a monday to friday late night like what rove live was or back in the day because that was successful yeah it was it was um i don't think there's the appetite for it anymore. I really don't think there is. I think Australians like to watch their crappy reality TV in the night time. And I don't know.

I just, I don't think, I can't see it working. I don't know why. I just don't, I can't see it working. Yeah, but there's like snackable bits that you get on, like the viral videos that Fallon gets. And like Kimmel, they all get it. But that's the thing. They're snackable. You can just get them that way I know but that's right they're

still being made for tv though right yeah but they probably have that audience in mind now oh this will go well online oh for sure that have to yeah oh yeah the whole show probably doesn't rate as well as Carpool Karaoke does on YouTube yeah yeah that's true good point yeah do you like James Corden love James Corden I just find him like why does he sing all the time because he's Broadway he's a Broadway actor. And he's theatre. He studied. Got a professional background.

I just think let them do the singing. Broadway actors? No, let like bloody Selena Gomez do the singing. You don't need to just like, that's what they do. No, I know what you mean. I like him. Stephen Colbert is my favourite. Very political.

Oh, did you see his New Zealand thing? Jacinta Ardern. I did. It was phenomenal. That's what I mean. We consume it like, this is good. That could work on TV. But those shows have such big budgets,

which they need to get the talent that they get. Like, you know, those funny viral kids, they offer them, like, 10 grand to come. Do they really? Of course they do. And it's exclusivity. They sign a contract so you can't do anyone else. And that's why Ellen and stuff compete with, like,

America's Got Talent and stuff to get those funny people on those viral clips. Are celebs that are booked on your show, and I'm talking late night and stuff like that, are they paid money? No, because they're promoting something. You wouldn't pay anyone to come on this show. No, of course. On any radio show.

Yeah. You don't. There's the commentators and stuff. That's the livelihood. They get paid. But no, not the people who are selling their book or their album or anything. Yeah, you don't. There's the commentators and stuff. That's the livelihood they get paid. But no, not the people who are selling their book or their album or anything. Yeah, got it. Fair enough.

Who's your favourite, and everyone can say, who their favourite Australian media TV personality is? Oh, fuck. I'll go last because I'll forget their names. Bert Newton. What? Bert Newton. Yeah, love him.

Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Burt's my favourite. And old school. I also like, who's Hey Hey? Daryl Summers. Daryl Summers. Love me some Daryl.

I, as a kid, I remember my uncle said to me, he's like, you're the next Graham Kennedy, boy. And I was like, who's Graham Kennedy? I did some research. Passed. But I mean, I'm sure I would have liked him if he was around. He was gay as well. Was he really? Yeah. Out? No. But, I mean, I'm sure I would have liked him if he was around. He was gay as well. Was he really?

Yeah. Out? No. Oh, that's sad. No. Have you not seen the Graham Kennedy teleseries? No, what is it? It's the Graham Kennedy teleseries.

Right, but... It's great. It's like just a TV show about his life. Oh, but he's sleeping with boys. Yeah, he sleeps with... Yeah, anyway. That's beside the point. Yeah.

He can still be a great television personality and be gay. 100%. Yeah, well, you'd hope so. Well, I hope so. Yeah. Who's the biggest out gay person? You keep thinking, you two will keep talking. Hamish McDonald would be, wouldn't he?

Oh, yeah. He's openly gay. Oh, yeah. Now he's doing Q&A. Oh, yeah. I don't know who else. There's not many. No one on our show that I know of that's out.

No one on this show either. No, Koshy's bi-curious. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. show that I know of. That's out? No one on this show either. No, Koshy's by Curious. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No, I know. Imagine that. That's hilarious. He wasn't stuck in an elevator.

He was going down somewhere else. Okay, Jenna, you go first because yours is the big one. Why is mine the big one? Well, he's the co-host and, you know, you love TV. Okay, well, fine then. Mine would probably be Carrie Bickmore. Oh, she's a great West Australian. True, true.

Meant to Perth modern. But also because she's an ambassador for brain cancer and all that. Her beanies are brain cancer. And Garnier, so that's really good for her. Oh, no, the amount of times I've wanted to go to Coles and buy some micellar water just because she's told me to. I don't even need it. What do you use it for? What is micellar waterllar water just because she's told me to. I don't even need it. What do you use it for?

What is micellar water? No idea, but she's told me and I want it. All right, go, Coops. That's a good one, Jenna. Denise Drysdale. I don't know. Carrie Anne? No.

I don't think. I could not narrow down one, to be honest. I really like Mel Doyle. I really like Chrissy Swann. I do really like Denise Drysdale. I like Ida Buttrose. I like Ben Fordham. Love Ben Fordham.

I don't think I could have a standout, but those are probably the top tier. And Sarah Harris, obviously. Yeah, put her in there. I do dislike all of the people on Studio 10. What do you think of Sunrise as viewers? What do you think it like? Obviously, you don't consume it, Mitch.

No, but I watch Barbara and... What's his name? Kylie and Larry. I love them. You clearly don't. I do. Did you answer the question of who your favourite Australian presenter is?

No, I didn't. You know who my... I don't know if I can say this in this room, but I love Kate Ritchie. Oh, you can say it. I love't. You know who my, I don't know if I can say this in this room, but I love Kate Ritchie. Oh, you can say it. It's fine. I love her. And I love her because she's the only person who's ever come into my work. And I've been too nervous to say hello to or introduce myself to.

Because I just love her so much. And I have this vision of her as just the nicest, most pleasant lady. And I don't want to ruin, just in case she isn't. See, I was only thinking like the TV presenter path. That opens up a whole new slide now that you've mentioned it. I've changed my decision. Yeah, sorry. I just really like Kate Ritchie.

Oh my god, Jenna, we forgot about Amanda Keller. I know, that's what I was going to say. She seems like such an obvious choice. No, Amanda's in my... Is she lovely? She's the best. Is she? She's exactly like she's on screen. She knows your name and stuff. She's not just like the girl. Yeah.

Okay, good. She's also in my top three. I love Amanda. Oh, good. Amanda's my number one. She deserved the gold. She deserved it. She was robbed.

Yeah, she really was. Amanda was robbed. And I say that having in my car that I drove here in, Sam Mac's gold Logie campaign merchandise in my boots. That's funny. But, you know, I was still rooting for Amanda. Yeah, and she's beautiful. Yeah.

The three of us here, if you were to give us media roles, because we're in radio, but obviously we want to get places, and, like, where would you put us? You're an executive producer. You've got Mitchell Turi, you've got Mitchell Coombs, and you've got Jenna Benson. Where would you place us in the workings of Sunrise or a morning show? Okay.

It can be anywhere. On air. Is that what you're asking me? Yeah, where would you put the three of us based on what you think? You would be the weatherman. Okay, fine with that. I'd be nervous about that because that's a lot of unscripted, impromptu banter.

He could say anything. No, I'm good with it. No, I'm good when I know what to do, but don't give me a credit line to deliver. He also has a full-time producer who guides him in the right direction, so you'll be fine. Yeah, I can do it on my own.

I can do it with a producer. Yeah, yeah. It's actually a great job because he just can rock up at 5.25, gets told where he is, and then just chats to people, which is great. Yeah.

It's easy. I couldn't do that. That sounds dream goal. That's great. Yeah, I think you'd be great at that uh jenna you are and you strike me as a news lady like i think you need to read you're a serious news lady and i think you are authoritative enough to read me the news i reckon she would secretly love going to danger zones though like oh yeah we'd send you to the bushfires we'd send you to the you know the floods i'll be there in a second yeah generally like i'll pay for the cab don't worry

great great and you'd be really great with you know those sad stories and like oh i'm so sorry this happened to you like that yeah a bit teary yes you'd appeal to that the heartstrings of australia yeah mitch you would definitely 100% be the entertainment reporter, just without question. See, I think I'd struggle with any job in a breakfast TV environment because I find it very difficult to pretend to give a fuck about things that I don't. You just see it in my face if I don't give a fuck

about the story I'm introducing. I'd just be like, well, Kim Kardashian has done something again. She's releasing a new perfume. Didn't know she had any of it. This is her 14th. Yeah, but Eddie did that too. She would be like, oh, here's another Taylor Swift story. It's fine.

It's okay. And I think if you get paid enough money, you can make your face do whatever you want it to. I struggle to contain that bitch every day. He does, yeah. He holds it right back, especially towards me. He would rip me to shreds more times than he does if he could. No, it's like you with the daggers that you give people about their outfits.

It's just written on your face what you're thinking and feeling. I couldn't do that. That's something I've admired about TV presenters in general is that they can seem really engaged about something that they probably five seconds ago had never given a thought about. Yeah. Which is why it's very interesting.

Sorry, that was the wheel of the chair. I thought it was someone revving a fucking motorbike. Gender reveal going on outside. No, it's the chair. Sounds like an albatross. Why are the chairs in this audio-proof studio

so noisy? Yeah, I know. That's really, that's, yeah. Sorry about that. Anyway, that was me. I think we should probably wrap this up. We've been going for a while. Yeah, look, we've been talking a weird. Sorry about that. Anyway, that was me. I think we should probably wrap this up. We've been going for a while. Yeah, look, we've been talking a while.

We could talk all day. Honestly, we could. You've got to go to bed soon. It is after 7pm. My show's on air very soon. I haven't prepped. Oh. I've got to prep.

Do you have a competition? Who's your competition? The Smallsie. Oh. And Nova. Yeah, Nova. But in the nights in Sydney, we're above them. We went up.

We beat them. Really? Yeah, yeah. Oh, well in Sydney We're above them We went up, we beat them Really? Yeah, yeah Oh, well done Between 7 to midnight, yeah I thought we were leaving But here you are gloating I was asked the question

Yeah Well, anyway I hope people have enjoyed Nerding out about Breakfast TV As much as us three have It's been fun Where can people find you On Instagram and Twitter?

Oh, at BlakeNads With an S On Instagram And at BlakeNadillo on Twitter. Someone else has BlakeNadillo on Instagram and I follow him and he's much better looking than I am. What a fuckhead. I know, I hate him. He's American. With a Mitch. His name's Mitch.

Anyway Mitch what were you saying About your Instagram username? Yeah so his name's Mitch And then what happened was I found him And then he passed Quickly to the break So he passed

Isn't this the best part of the show, though? Yeah, but we got some juice from you. Oh, okay. Yeah, I enjoyed that. I'm sorry, everyone listening.

If you didn't enjoy that, I'm too selfish. I don't give a fuck if A.D.D. is your favourite spot. We don't have time for it. But surely we can take a couple. I mean, we can definitely take a couple of live tweets. We definitely don't have time for that. That's Sam Armitage. He said, love, dear mum, the show.

So she listened live. And another one. Oh, oh, my God. That's Sam Armatid. She said, oh, dear mom, the show. So she listened live. And that's another one. Oh, oh my God. Eddie's had the baby. Boy or girl? Or gender non-conforming. We have to wait for that. Oh, there we go.

Twins! Is that her vibe? Well, she's very like, you know, material nappy. Like, you know, cloth nappy kind of. She lives in the inner west. You know, what do you expect? For anyone listening for the first time, ADD Brief is our segment

Where it's unscripted And we go rogue And Mitch thinks it's funny To play a Twitter sound effect As though people are live tweeting When it's not possible They don't live tweet They just tweet in the hopes

That they catch us When we're on And they do I'm crossing live to Eddie now Hi Eddie Oh my god That was so I love the sound

Of newborn babies Oh me too I'm gonna cut her off Boring stuff Do you guys get any hate from people? Have you got any trolls yet? Or people saying nasty things about you in your podcast? I got one last night.

I haven't told you this. About the podcast? About me in general. Oh, did you? And it was so promising and then went sour like that. I'll get it up because it's right here. So first of all, the Instagram account, I won't name them, but it's all about a dog.

So I'm like, a dog. Was this to your personal or to the couple of Mitch's? And it started with, so it's just on the Kiss FM page and seen posts from today. Is this Thunderbird Mitch? I didn't reply. Mitch, sister girl, you need to work out I'm replying. Then sent me this selfie.

Oh my gosh. Right? So a tradie. Do you think he's vicarious like Koshy? I don't know. Maybe. And then, ready for this? This really pissed me off.

I didn't reply. This was late at night. You're finishing like 40 minutes. Like, whatever. Hope you get home safe and sound in your Toyota Prius. Sorry, you don't seem like a car guy. You probably don't care, but that's expected from a narcissistic person like you. Wow.

I'm like, we're in paragraphs. Lots of thought into that. Wait, so you have replied to him? Yeah, and I said, this convo started off nicely, took a turn. I got a tweet once from somebody. So I tweeted about the climate, school kids leaving climate. What was that? You know, when they left school.

Yeah, the protest. And I saw a photo of them all in Hyde Park. And I don't protest anything because I don't care enough about anything in the whole world. And I saw a photo of them all in Hyde Park and I retweeted and I said wonder if they'll um clean up after themselves like that's all I said I get it it was a leading thing it was it was loaded I get it anyway I just like stirring the pot and I'm not kidding you when I said so some big climate person retweeted it and said wonder what angle sunrise is going to take on this tomorrow and put my like a headshot of me and like my bio saying what i do and um and i got five to seven

hundred abusive vile tweets and the oh and people said all kinds of awful things about me the only thing that upset me is someone said that i had a receding hairline that again and i don't i actually don't i was admiring your hair before i I definitely do. I've just hummed to get used to it. Jenna, have you ever had any mean tweets? Yes, I have. Oh, really? What happened? At our previous job.

Oh, yeah, I do. Can you say what your previous job was? We used to work at this startup social media company called Amplify. It was based around YouTubers and fangirls. And they used to throw Amplify Live events where they brought Tyler Oakley and stuff to a stage show. And she ran the social media for Amplify. Fangirls are fucking mental.

Yes. What did you do? Amplify had a lot of haters as well. So during one of our live events, this was in Melbourne, I got threatened. What happened? So this is a real life mean tweet. Like, it happened in real life. This was in Melbourne. I got threatened. What happened? So this is a real life mean tweet.

Like it happened in real life. This happened in real life. We're asking about mean tweets. We're not assaulting. It started on Twitter. Just let her finish. It's like a witch hunt. Jenna underscore love. They love you. I remember this. They remember this.

Oh my god. Oh hold on. Oh they've just retweeted your headshot again. I remember this. Hi, Jenna underscore love. They remember this. Oh, my God. Oh, hold on. Oh, they've just retweeted your headshot again. You're going to get a lot of DMs. Okay. Sorry, go, Jenna. So it started on Twitter. Out of nowhere, somebody, let's say a 16-year-old boy. I won't mention him by name, but yes.

Basically. Oh, my God. Are you okay? No, I was joking. He was like, oh, I'm going to come and threaten you with a knife. Yeah, he made all sorts of threats on Twitter. Yeah. He wasn't happy for some reason.

I can't remember. He wasn't happy with Amplify. He wasn't happy with the talent coming to the show. He really wanted his favorite YouTuber to be invited, but they didn't come. I don't know. He was just a clearly quite disturbed child. Right, and then what happened? So the event came and I was like, oh, I'm going to get stabbed properly today.

He was banned from the event, but he somehow snuck in. So the police were called. Shout out to Victoria Police. Great job. Heroes. Great, great heroes. They saved the day and kicked him out. But then he somehow found himself back in the event as well. Oh, great heroes. They saved the day and kicked him out, but then he somehow found himself back in the event as well.

Oh, my God. This is a true crime podcast all of a sudden. It is, I know. He didn't have a knife, but he was looking for me. Oh, my God. Yeah. And, yeah, he got in trouble by police. The police called his parents and he freaked out and sent me this like two page long

um message about how sorry sorry he was and all that yeah yes wow i'm sorry that happened to you thank you that's awful but it's a great story i mean yeah i think you need to work on the delivery but yeah it is a good story yeah jenna that was terrible no there were points there were points where we thought you were about to cry but it it's fine. Yeah, I know you did. Your voice sounded so... I got nervous for you. Just acting. That's Jenna. You ask her how her day was and it's her birthday.

She's like, well, um... Well, um... We had cake at first. And then... Then there were gifts. Jenna, what is going on? Who's that? Guess who?

Who? Mark Holden. He loves you. He said if you were on Idol, he'd give you a touchdown. That's lovely. I miss the touchdown. Me too. So this was meant to be a brief ADD brief.

I'm going to keep it brief. But my Twitter troll story was similar to you. I just gave my two cents on something happening and regretted it later. I'll have time for this. So Ash London, who works at a different radio station, did an interview with which? Oh, see, now I'm about to get in trouble. She did an interview with Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. Arguably the worst member of the group.

Don't say that. They'll come for you. All right, sorry. No one's listening to this. So, Louis... She did the interview solo, but she was introducing the pre-record, about to play it out,

and her co-host wasn't there. He has no idea. He's like some... I think it was Ed Cavill or something. He was just like... He goes, Oh, Louis, which one's he? And Ash goes,

Oh, you know that one that's like kind of got that ratty facial hair, like that seedy one? And someone said, Oh, you know that one that's like kind of got that ratty facial hair, like that seedy one. And someone said, oh, the least successful one. And like, they just made a joke.

And so they didn't know who he was. And they, the trolls came out for Dear Ash London being like, how dare you call him ratty? Your co-host is so unprofessional. They weren't researched on who he was, all this shit. And I'm like,

welcome to live radio. But yeah, they were going, they were going for ash and i noticed that it was all saying how unprofessional you're so unprofessional your co-host is so unprofessional this station's so unprofessional the word unprofessional was being thrown around a lot and so i my two cents which in hindsight bit of a bitch i am but whatever my two cents were um it's funny how all these comments about what is and isn't professionalism is coming from 12-year-olds who have never worked a day in their life.

I think it's a great point. I put my phone down, kept going about my day, refreshed Twitter a few hours later, and I had like hundreds of tweets and it kept going for days. They were like, who's this cunt coming for us? I'm 30 years old and I've loved Louis for years. I've been working in a mine for years and you wouldn't know. And I'm like, well, then I was specifically referring to the 12-year-olds that I was seeing these tweets coming from.

So that wasn't applicable to you. I don't know why. Thank you for your work you do in the mines. But yes, apparently I was making a big generalisation about the fangirl community who I earlier referred to as psychopaths. So I'm probably not doing myself any favours but yeah I just don't get involved with fangirl drama they'll either show up with a knife or have you

or absolutely berate you on Twitter I remember that situation because they then tweeted me and said do you know that Mitchell Coombs guy and all that I can really get a tweet to get traction I can tease though that a former One Direction will be on Sunrise next week, so tune in.

Great. Not Louis. It's Niall? I can't say. Is it the one we had on Kyle Jaccio this week? I can't say. I can't say, but if you are a One Direction fan, it's your morning on Wednesday. That's exciting.

If it's Harry, as someone who runs Kyle and Jack's social media, just be careful with how that interview goes. Oh, I read something about that. Yeah. Yeah. No comment. No comment. I had Vanessa Amorosi on Twitter and people got so mad.

Vanessa Amorosi updates. Yeah, I had her on. Vanessa Amorosi. Oh, my God. Absolutely underscore everybody. I love Vanessa Amorosi. Can we get her on? She's great.

You know what Vanessa Amorosi has had done? Great work. Subtle but great. Like, she looks fresh. Like, I'd like to know who her doctor is because she looks amazing. I've actually listened to the new album, Mitch. Can you please get her on if you've got a contract? She's been on my show three times and she's performed absolutely everybody live on my show.

Why didn't you tell me this? I fucking hate you. She comes in and she's like, hey, Mitch. She does not have an American accent. She's got a hybrid one because she's like that Keith Urban level. Anyway, just bring her in. I want to interview her. Okay, I'll try and get her for me.

All right, well, we should go. Squeeze in one more sound effect before we go. Okay, let me see what I can do. You've done no sound effects except for the tweet. Pardon? And the baby. They're not sound effects. Yeah, but this is ADD Brief and we've got a guest with us.

Oh, who's that? That's actually Koshi. Oh, Koshi. Hi, Koshi. Yeah, he's tweeted nothing. He sat on his phone. Koshi. That's it, Koshi.

Oh, one more. I'm stuck in the lift. Fuck, you better go. You better get in. No, that's all. That's everything. I don't want to do too many sound effects. You should find one of, like, sharpening knives.

Jenna, no. Why? Because of my story. Blake's face. Oh, your story. I've got quite a bit. I actually loaded up a bunch to play on this show. Did you?

Because every week different. Can you just type in something and, like... That's a segment I do on my show. I've been nagging him to get new sound effects for ages and it hasn't happened, so... Type in climate change. Oh, God. Type in climate change. Oh God. Or sunrise. Sam Armitage, here we go. Are we ready?

What have we got? Oh my gosh. Oh, I don't think we want to play this. Do you have any holiday activity? Kyle. Nothing. I'm not telling you. I just find it very hard to believe. I'm not telling you. You don't need to know that stuff. I think you've got a secret lover. You, what? I do. I think you would. It's alright. I think you deserve it. You don't need to know that stuff. I think you've got a secret lover. What? I do. I think you would.

It's alright. I think you deserve it. You're a bloody amazing woman. You deserve it. If you did have a secret lover, how long would you want to keep him secret for? Forever. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, can you imagine? That didn't happen. She came out as taken recently. Oh, poor thing. That would have been

so hard for her. In the Who's Sexiest Couple. I did see that. And he's in his 60s his 60s he's so lovely though i like that he's a country boy you know what the first thing i said to him i hadn't met him and i invited obviously sam and him to my engagement party and he said to me the first moment i mean he's like oh good day he's very country he said oh good day and i was like oh hello he's like you're black i must be going to your engagement party in march and i was like just what, I don't think he's ever been to a gay engagement party, to be honest with you. But, you know, he's all for it.

And good for him. So I had a couple of horses that would lick each other. And they're both man horses. So I'm fine with it. Hey, question. Were you there during the Lindt Cafe siege? Not that day, no. I wasn't there at the moment.

It happened during the morning show. Oh, of course. Right. That would have been scary. Yeah. They had to do the show from, all the producers had to fly to Melbourne to do morning show. Oh, of course, right. That would have been scary. Yeah, they had to do the show from, all the producers had to fly to Melbourne to do the show. Really?

Your mates, Larry and Kylie, had to break the story. I know. Yes. If you're listening, international listeners, we have a couple. Google it, Link Cafe siege in Sydney. Horrendous time for Sydney. We're literally wrapping up the fucking show.

I just want to know, is it true that the glass is like this thick? It's very thick. It is bulletproof. Aha, there you go. That's all I wanted to know. Wow. Guess who liked the show?

Who? Guess, Bill Cosby from Prison. Oh, wow. He's listening on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah. Okay. Actually, he's a fan of mine personally. Is he?

You and him have a bit of history. We have. Well, I don't know what time it is. All right, everyone. What a pleasure it's been. Well, this has been a fun show. Thanks for hanging out. Thank you for having me.

It's been so fun. We ran for like an hour over, but that's fine. Best episode ever. Oh, Jenna, thank you. I agree. Will you join us for our McLeod's Daughter special as well? Oh, when she died in the silo. Oh, my God, yeah!

To McLeod's Daughter? Who died in the silo? No one died in a silo, actually. No one did, but I just thought of the car crash. Yeah. Who died in the silo? No one died in a silo, actually. No one did, but I just thought of the car crash. Yeah. What happened in the silo? She nearly sank. She nearly sank.

And I think about that a lot. Yeah. Because have you seen The Dressmaker? The movie The Dressmaker? Someone dies in the silo. Oh, my God. That is traumatic. And I just think, how has that not happened more?

I know. Hold on, they fell into the silo? Yeah. Of wheat? No, it's particular. If wheat? No, it's particular. If it's wheat, it's fine. If it's some other kind of seed or whatever it is. If it's a grain.

You just sink and you drown. In that? In it, in it. Holy shit. Liam Hemsworth, actually, in The Dressmaker. He died. With Kate Winslet. Is that a real thing that happens?
