And now in an exclusive presentation over the wireless, it's the centenary celebration of Is It Just Me?
People do some weird shit.
This is it, this is a 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 Churley and Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, my God.
Throwback Mitchell Coombs.
I know, our original opener.
Oh, isn't that cute?
I forget. From day one.
I forget we had half that shit in there.
Well, we made it, Terry.
Episode 100.
All the haters who said we wouldn't do it are dead now.
They all got COVID and they're all in caskets.
And we had nothing to do with it.
Nothing at all.
No, no, no, no.
Don't check the autopsy reports.
Well, we made it.
I can't believe it.
You know, I was trying to find some, like, impressive statistic to, like, really sum up how long we've been doing the podcast.
But there's just nothing. I was like, okay, every episode's an hour,
which means 100 hours,
which equates to four days of listening.
I was like, I really thought that I was going to get up here
and be like, that equates to nine weeks of podcasting.
No, it's literally four days.
Three Mercury in retrograde.
Mars has shed its skin twice.
Yeah, you could drive to Perth 14 times in the time taken to listen to our podcast.
It would boil 30,000 eggs in the amount of shows we've done.
It feels like a couple of weeks ago we had our 40th episode.
It is a bit weird being at 100.
And you know what?
I remember the earlier episodes more than I remember any of the most recent ones.
Yeah, no, I used to be really good at throwing back to, oh, you might remember in episode
13 we did this.
I couldn't fucking do that anymore. No, you used to be really good at, someone would, oh, you might remember in episode 13 we did this. I couldn't fucking do that anymore.
No, you used to be really good at, someone would be like, oh, I heard this bit on the show.
And I'd go, Mitch, when was that?
You'd go, episode 12.
Like, you knew straight away.
But now, no.
I reckon around 70 onwards, they just blurred.
I'm also here for our centenary celebration, Prizekeeper Jenna.
Hello, I'm here.
Also, sorry, look, I've got champagne, guys.
Of course we do.
Come on. Oh, there we go, I've got champagne, guys. Of course we do. Come on.
There we go.
Got some champers to celebrate.
Can you pour those for us, Alan?
I've got something else, actually.
I've got something else to show you.
Oh, really?
While you pop that bottle, I'm going to pop this smash cake,
if you don't hardly mind.
Whoa, I love a smash cake.
So these smash cakes I got, right, I'm sending them out to, like,
a few friends of the show, if you like, people that have been guests before.
Kate Langbrook.
Yeah, people like that.
And I got them from Smash Cake Sydney.
Not to be confused with Sydney Smash Cake.
Smash Cake Official is the Instagram handle you're on.
And I'm not telling you that because I got it for free.
I bloody paid, but they were a delight to deal with,
run by a chick called Kyleen.
And how cute is this?
Yeah.
She does the smash cake thing full of candy and stuff.
I'm about to belt the shit out of this.
She's also helped her 14-year-old son, Jesse, set up his own little side hustle.
Not smash cakes, but smash pizzas.
And they did send that as a little gift.
Show me the smash pizza.
There's your smash pizza.
Oh, that is so cute.
I mean, I obviously have had a rough week.
I was in hospital.
But I'm on a diet now.
But I will indulge myself with, what's the woman's name?
Kyleen.
Kyleen.
The son is Jesse.
Jesse.
14-year-old Jesse made that smash pizza.
Oh, sorry.
Jesse's written us a letter.
I should have opened it.
Oh, look at her.
Congratulations on 100 episodes.
Keep smashing it.
Very funny, Jesse.
Oh, I love that.
All right, should we?
Should we smash them?
Count us down, Jenna and Sam.
It's like a chocolate piñata if you don't know what a smash is.
Why don't you count us down from 100 because we're celebrating.
100.
99.
I'm aiming with this hammer just right on Mitchell's face, just saying.
All right, you ready?
Yeah.
Count us from three.
Three.
Three.
Two.
One.
Happy 100.
Oh, look at that. from three three two one happy 100 oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh by a 14-year-old. What a bloody genius. Welcome to the 100th episode, everybody, of Is It Just Me?
How exciting.
What's coming up?
We have a big show.
We're doing a Q&A later on in the podcast.
We've got a shitload of questions to get through, and we're also going to be doing Memory Lane,
is what we're calling it, which is basically we're just listening back to, well, firstly,
our first ever episode, see if we sound any different.
I don't even know if we will.
I'm dreading that.
I hate listening to myself back, even now.
But also
Some of our favourite moments
From the show
Cute
That'll be fun
And I know we did promise
We'd get Ben Fordham on
But um
Yeah because
It was quite tricky
To make this 100th episode happen
We mucked him round
One too many times
I feel
I don't know if he's a friend
Of the show anymore
No
We cancelled on him
What three times
And we rebooked
Yeah I had COVID
Everyone knows the story
I was in hospital.
What can you do?
I actually don't mind it being just us for the 100th, you know?
And he would have rabbited on about coal seam gas and some ferry that they're building
in the city that's on Sanctuary.
Shut up.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it's the A-team today.
That's right.
We'll catch up with Ben soon on the show.
But yeah, we couldn't make it happen today.
There's a lot otherwise, a lot to get to.
So let's start.
If it is your first time listening on the 100th episode, you're going to be very lost.
But this is Is It Just Me?
Every week we start the show the same way with two idioms, something we've noticed,
something we hate or appreciate, the Is It Just Me's.
Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's.
And we thought we'd switch it up this week for the 100th episode instead of just a standard
Is It Just Me?
Yeah, we're going to be, we've decided to do something we've noticed, hate or appreciate about each
other from the last hundred episodes.
Feel free to say something you appreciate about me.
Well, we're essentially work wives, work husbands.
What are we?
Are we allowed to say that?
You could be work wife with the hair.
Husbands.
We've been over that.
That's a throwback.
Podcast husbands.
We're podcast husbands.
So there's a lot we've noticed, appreciated or hated about each other over the last 100 episodes.
Should we begin?
Sure, let's do it.
Who wants to go first?
You can go first, Mitchell.
All right, let's go.
The first idiom of our 100th episode.
Is it just me or?
Does Mitchell Cherry like to mansplain shit to international listeners sometimes?
What?
Yes.
That is so true.
Hold on.
It's just some things that you interrupt me when I'm mid-sentence.
You'll be like, hang on, hang on, hang on.
We should clarify for the international listeners.
And sometimes it's necessary.
You'll be like, oh, Koshi is like our Matt Lauer,
the morning breakfast.
Yes.
And sometimes the context is necessary,
but sometimes it's condescending.
It is not.
It's needed.
It's like, oh, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The internationals, they wouldn't understand this.
So we have these rectangular prisms that are sort of flat,
maybe the size of a welcome mat, and they're called pillows.
No.
Made of foam.
And we use them for the sleeping.
I don't know what you guys call them, but we call them pillows.
I've never mansplied a pillow.
There's some times that I'm like, they probably got it.
They probably got it.
I'm media trained.
Because when you work in radio, all they do
is you've got to set up new listeners.
Because when you're listening to radio, you've got new listeners
every 15 fucking minutes.
There it is.
When you listen to the radio.
For my international listeners, a radio is a
terrestrial broadcast device.
I admit it. I do.
I do. And for the international listeners, we have these cylindrical bits of plastic, and it's
kind of like a pencil, but there's ink.
We call them pens.
I don't know what you call them there, but yeah, we call them pens.
I'm not that annoying.
Well, call me out on it next time.
And sorry, basically what Mitchell Coombs is saying to our international audience, fuck
you.
I would never say such a thing.
Screw you.
I just have more faith in them than you do,
that they know what we're on about.
I don't want them to have to Google.
If we're talking about Kerry Ann Kennelly,
which we do every fucking week.
That's one thing you've never been explained.
How would you say, for the internationals, Kerry Ann is?
I'd say, have you ever heard of the dinosaurs?
That's all you need to know for the internationals.
You know when you get out of the bath and you've been in there for ages
and your hands go all wrinkly?
Just picture that all over.
Yeah.
An awful, awful lady.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's her.
That's her in a Camilla and Marks dress.
Oh, Camilla and Marks for the international listeners.
It's an Australian undercover designer brand.
Something that soccer mums wear.
Well, I'm going to start.
Listen, I am pre-COVID.
I was in and out of the States.
No, it's not bad.
So I just wanted to make sure the audience that I've brought from LA is up to date.
I'll cop that on the chin.
I will.
No, I don't think it's a bad thing.
It's something I noticed.
You ever said it was something I hate?
Would you have something you hate and I can clear the air?
No.
Actually, I don't want to tell you something that I hate because you've actually stopped doing it.
And if I remind you, you might start doing it again.
Oh, what is it?
Fucking the live tweets.
You stopped doing that.
I've just gotten lazy.
Yeah, good.
Because don't bring them back.
It's still right here, guys.
It hasn't moved.
It hasn't moved.
It's been there the whole show.
So has Danny Minogue.
So has the helicopter.
They're all there.
I'm just lazy.
You know, I got a DM the other day on Instagram.
Can't remember her name, but this lovely lady.
She goes, hi, Mitchell.
I'm a trash bag.
I love Trash Alley.
I've just started listening to Is It Just Me?
I'm really struggling with the fucking live tweet sound effect.
And I said, hang in there.
And I told her around episode 70, I think he forgot about that bit.
So just start listening from there.
And she literally said, thank you so much.
I was like, I knew it.
Someone else found it as irritating as me.
The amount of messages I get of support.
Oh, we don't have time to get into that, unfortunately.
For the live tweets.
The number will astound you.
And, in fact, I'll tell you straight after this.
WSFM Time Saver Traffic.
That's my favourite one.
I knew I shouldn't have said it.
It reminded you.
They're back for 100 and beyond, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, we ready for my agent?
Sure, hit me.
Let's do it.
Is it just me or...
Does Mitchell Coombs love a good caller?
Yeah, of course I do.
On the show.
You love getting a caller on the air.
I feel that we don't have enough.
I know when he introduced it for these just yous,
he said, Jenny, I don't know if you're in that conversation,
but let's get calls on the show.
I know you love Talkback Radio,
but I almost feel like you think this show is your talkback show.
I just like chatting with our listeners.
Sometimes they're funnier than us.
They are funnier than us.
It also just kind of, it tells the world that we're not just speaking into the abyss.
There are listeners, I swear to God.
Oh, it's kind of like a way to prove that they exist.
Well, there is that, but I also just genuinely like chatting to them.
Are you telling me you don't?
No.
Is this something you hate about me?
No.
I like getting calls.
There's no hate in this at all.
But I just get my life fixed on my very successful radio show,
so there's no need to take live calls.
Do we have one today for Is It Just You?
Yeah, we do have one for Is It Just You.
Fabulous.
I've organised it.
Very excited for hers.
Fabulous.
But I feel like, yes, we can do it on the show,
but we could just do a telephone or something with the amount of calls
that you love doing.
We should just set you up a telephone.
Oh, to make up for lost time.
Yeah. Why don't we up for lost time. Yeah.
Why don't we do an engine telephone?
Yeah.
What are we raising money for?
I don't know.
Put in the kiddio.
We'll go to Mykonos.
We're the charity.
No, there's no charity, no money.
It's just a way to connect with the audience.
That's a really good idea because they just did one,
all the networks united on television in Australia.
The one with the floods.
The one with the floods.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So all the big TV networks, 7, 10 and 9,
got all their talent, which never normally mingle except for at the Logies in the bathroom
when they're all snorting coke off Jonesy's penis.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
But they all united.
We could do a telethon as well.
I don't think we can call it that, though,
if it's not raising money for charity.
We could just call it.
Telethon.
I was going to say Talkback Edition,
but we've got the segment Talkback Tings.
It's like Talkback Tings Live.
Live.
Live. Yes. Live.
Yes.
Yep.
That's great.
And we can live stream it too, the live element, and then all we do is we give out the number
and we take calls.
And why don't we bridge the podcast rivalry world and get some other podcast hosts in
or on Zoom to do a special call?
Oh, right.
Because you get the rivals uniting.
Yes.
Cool.
Who are our rivals?
Carrie Anne. Mm-hmm. She's not a podcaster. Oh, my gosh. Oh, right. Because you get the rivals uniting. Yes. Cool. Who are our rivals? Carrie Ann.
She's not a podcaster.
Oh, my God.
Jess Rowe.
And she's signed with Listener.
That's a rival.
Listener's our rival network because we're with iHeartRadio.
We could get Abby Chatfield, really.
She's on Listener and on the radio rival too.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, she ticks all the boxes.
Double rival.
I just don't want this to be one of those things that you brainstorm on the podcast
and you promise it and it never happens.
No, this has to happen.
Sam, I think this is a good idea.
You're an ideas man.
Yeah, no, it's good.
We'll do it at the Bunnings OB.
Yeah, the Bunnings OB.
What happened to you hanging up posters at Mardi Gras with our QR code?
I didn't go to Mardi Gras.
I got my weekends confused, everyone.
I think that's a good idea.
I think we do Talk Back Tings Live.
Okay.
We can do it for our 110th.
How about that?
10 episodes.
That's 10 weeks to plan.
All right.
Sure.
Deal.
I'll forget by then.
Guaranteed.
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah, someone's going to have to remind him.
I've already forgotten what I'm talking about.
I'm just speaking.
Breathing, my heart's beating.
All right.
That's something I've noticed.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Also, one other thing I've noticed is that you exclusively comment on All Right Hayes'
Instagram posts and never comment on mine.
Oh, now the real talk happens.
That's something I hate.
All Right Hayes' other podcast co-host, but they haven't signed him fully.
He's still on probation because they don't know if the show will continue.
He could post a photo.
We got re-signed, by the way.
He could post it.
Congrats.
So it will be continuing.
He could post a photo of himself and a Camilla on a wharf,
and you'd go, lovely shot.
And then I can post, oh, I've won an Oscar and a SAG award and you'd scroll right past it.
I don't believe that's true.
I think it's true.
I don't really comment on anyone's stuff generally.
Except for alright hay.
But I shouldn't fucking.
What?
Oh, no.
Well, there's just a general understanding in the influencer world
that if something is a sponsored post,
you just comment on each other's shit to boost your engagement
so that when it comes to reporting back to the client about how well it did,
it looks better.
It's like an influencer code.
We all just do it for each other.
Interesting.
Insider info.
I didn't know that.
And so I don't do it because I prefer him over you.
Couldn't care less if he died.
It's a monetary thing.
It's to keep paying the rent.
Yeah.
Oh, clever.
And you know what?
I've got the answer.
I'm very happy now.
There you go.
Thank you.
Oh, that's interesting.
Do you want me to start commenting on your stuff or something?
No, no, no.
Or is it just stopping commenting on his?
That's the issue.
Yeah.
I don't want any extra attention.
Just stop giving it to him.
Yeah, okay.
The last time, by the way, you did comment on Tury's post.
It was the 18th of December, and it was when the two of you were on stage together at your show, Mitchell.
What did I say?
Why did you crop me legs out?
Oh, yeah.
I had a fucking fresh spray tan.
I got my leg hair removed, and you got rid of my best asset.
And it's a criticism.
I had to cut my cankles out.
It's just a shame that your assets are near my biggest, biggest issue.
All right, I got that out of my system.
I've got more shows coming up soon, by the way.
Yes, you do.
Is it okay if I do a little shameless plug now while we're on the topic?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Sydney and Melbourne in the next couple of weeks.
Great.
Yeah.
How exciting.
As people who were there, you were at my last live gigs.
What did you think?
Oh, I'll give it a go.
Honest review?
I was actually very impressed.
I knew you would be good, but I didn't realise that you were that good.
Oh, thank you.
Can I just say, on the night, I was thinking to myself,
I don't remember the last time Jenna was this nice to me.
Probably would have been like 2017 when we first met.
I was like, oh, we've really crossed that acquaintance line where we're just fucking rude to each other now.
That's the love language.
But then I was like, oh, my God, I forgot that Jenna was nice.
I was very impressed.
She was so gushy.
No, but if you were just mediocre, I would have been like, yeah, that was good work.
Yay.
Yeah, no, she kept reiterating.
She's like, seriously, seriously impressed. It's the truth. So good. I was like, oh, thank you. She almost passed out. I was good work. Yay. Yes. Yeah, no, she kept reiterating. She's like, seriously, seriously impressed.
It's the truth.
So good.
I was like, oh, thank you.
She almost passed out.
I was very impressed.
So link in my Instagram bio for tickets there.
Go get them.
And also talk back Ting's life.
Another show you're doing live.
Another live show.
It'll happen in the coming weeks.
Now, we decided we also wanted to bring up something we've noticed,
hate or appreciate about Jenna, didn't we?
We have.
I'm glad you brought it in.
One more, Itcham.
I'm glad you brought it in.
Let's do it.
Is it just me or?
Does Jenna need to finish laughing off mic before she comes back to the mic?
I feel like she does the right thing.
If she's got a loud laugh, she'll pull off Mike and go.
Yes.
But then she pulls back before she's finished.
Yes.
And it's usually on the inhale.
Yes.
So it'll be like.
And I'm like, no, finish the laugh off Mike.
Finish it.
It's true.
She's about to lean back in.
Na, na, na.
State.
Jenna's laugh is like a jet turbine.
Like it needs so much oxygen to keep going.
Can you imagine how bad it would be if none of us ever pulled off mic?
If I just went.
Yeah.
For the international listeners, when you're recording a show into a microphone, you need
to pull back because otherwise it's all fucking too much.
You know how we've got in our normal show opener at the moment, we've got like bits
of audio from the show.
Yes.
Some of them, we had to re-voice them because in the original recording,
you could just hear over the top.
And I'm like, oh, if she did it off mic, it would have been fine.
It kind of adds to it.
But when it drowns us out.
We can never isolate one of our mics, Jenna,
because you are weeping in the background.
I can hear that, yeah.
Practice it.
Mitch, say something funny.
Go.
Yeah.
I'm skinny.
I can see you creeping closer.
You're not done.
I can tell.
There's an after laugh.
Look, it's so out of her nature, she doesn't know what to do.
I know.
It just feels so uncomfortable, me being over here for so long.
Well, none of you make me laugh, so I don't have that problem.
And now, it's the centenary celebrations of Is It Just Me?
Ah, yes, celebrating our centenary episode, 100 episodes of Is It Just Me?
I'm having a good show. Sounds way more fancy when you say a centenary celebration, not, 100 episodes. It isn't just me. I'm having a good show.
Sounds way more fancy when you say a centenary celebration,
not just 100 episodes.
Yeah, my mum collected the centenary coins.
You know what Australia had the centenary?
She's got all these centenary coins in a little pouch at home.
She loves that stuff.
No?
What do you mean Australia's centenary?
Of what?
100 years of, yeah, being Australia.
I think you'll find we're way older.
I concur.
Why do you think I burnt and sold the coins on Gumtree?
You used them to buy a sandboy at the canteen.
Okay, before we continue, we've got a Q&A coming up.
But now, if you have an Is It Just Me of your own,
you can DM us at coupleofmitches on Instagram,
send us a voice message, or you can come and chat with us live.
Mitchell, a live caller.
See?
Yeah, you know I've got a mad throbby for live callers,
so let's get one on right now, shall we?
We've got Taylor.
Hello, Taylor.
Welcome to the 100th episode.
Hello. Congratulations on 100 episodes. Thanks. So let's get one on right now, shall we? We've got Taylor. Hello, Taylor. Welcome to the 100th episode. Hello.
Congratulations on 100th episode.
Thanks. So exciting.
Where are you calling from?
I've actually just pulled onto the side of the road. I've just... I kind of
meant where you live, but that's alright.
I'm out in front of a porto.
I'm in...
I'm in Melbourne.
Oh. Oh.
Yes.
Are you coming to my live show in a couple of weeks?
Okay.
So I've actually messaged you a couple of times asking you to do a second show because that's the one night I'm working.
I feel like this is a scheduling thing between you two.
Go back to the DMs.
Oh, that's such a shame.
Damn it.
I know.
I'm actually so gutted.
It's worth calling in sick.
I mean.
Depends what you do for work.
How vital are you?
I do like nighttime nannying, so I'm kind of essential.
What the parents don't know won't earth them.
Amen.
If you just leave them in bed, pop a finergan or something,
they'll sleep through the night.
You come to my show at 9.30, they'll be well asleep.
Or take the kids to the show as character building.
I mean, I couldn't take the risk.
It's my reputation on the line here.
All right.
Well, you've got a lot to think about.
I reckon there'll be more dates in the future.
Absolutely.
All right, let's go.
I'm going to call you in.
Bradley will cue you in, then hit us with,
is it just you, okay?
Okay.
Is it just me?
Or?
Is it or is it not rude to open somebody's fridge when you are at their house?
So you're just getting some milk out or you're just refilling your glass to get some more
Coke or something like that.
Oh, it's very rude.
You don't touch someone else's fridge without fridge consent.
Okay, so I'm on the complete and total opposite side. Like if I'm at, if I have someone at my house,
you want them to feel comfortable in your home.
So, okay, if someone was to go into my fridge
and just start eating the roast chook I just made for dinner,
obviously that's rude.
Yes.
But it came up in a discussion with my mother the other day.
Your mother?
Yes.
So apparently when I was at her ex-boyfriend's house
a couple of years back,
it brought up a quarrel between them
that I was rude because I went into the fridge
to fill up my glass of Coke
and he said that was rude.
Really?
I mean, this is my mum's partner.
And she's only just told you about this now.
She's been sitting on this for a while.
So that happened in 2016.
Oh, get a hobby.
Yeah.
Lay that one on me the other night and it has baffled me.
Do you reckon, how old was this ex-boyfriend of your mum's?
Because I feel like some old men just get weird about shit like that.
They've just got these random beliefs that they just cling on to.
They die by.
He was in his 50s, but I just really didn't see the big deal
and the fact that he thought I was rude that whole time.
And then told my mum.
You'd think that he'd be trying to suck up a bit if this is like,
he's essentially being like, oh, shit, I'm the stepdad.
I might be treading on some toes.
You'd be thinking he'd let that slide, but he actually told your mum.
Exactly.
What a fucking narc, firstly.
Yeah.
I know.
They're not together anymore.
Good, good, good.
You know.
I've never once second guessed whether I'm allowed to open a fridge or not.
Like, I've never thought about it.
I always just help myself.
But I mean, it's not like you're randomly going to go up to the fridge and get something.
Aren't I? No. I get a bit peckish all the time. help myself. But I mean, it's not like you're randomly going to go up to the fridge and get something.
I get a bit peckish all the time.
It's not like I've gone into someone's bedroom and rummaged through their drawers.
It's like a communal
kitchen area where there
is sustenance.
I'd never go underneath the laundry cupboards and pour
some Domestos into a little flask and take
home for my washing. I think that's perfectly
fine. So do you still have some sort of contact with this ex?
Like, could you just drop by and like tell him, go fuck yourself?
Or is he dead now?
Okay.
This is a bit morbid, but right after they broke up, he found out he had cancer.
So it was, yeah.
I feel like I'm a psychic because I just had this feeling that he
was no longer with us because of his archaic views
even though you said he was only 50 I was like he's gone
I don't know why. I can just feel it
I can feel it. Yeah absolutely
Well something in the air for the 100. Thank you Taylor
for coming on and joining the centenary
It's not just you
Alright now you can start the car up and drive. She's in a ditch
Look after yourself Taylor
Thank you so much guys for having me That's fine. Look after yourself, Taylor. Thank you so much, guys, for having me.
That's fine.
It's our pleasure.
We love you so much.
I wouldn't let a dead man's words bother you, by the way.
It's all good.
Look, I know I'm a nice person, so sticks and stones, love.
Yeah, sticks and stones, 100%.
Hey, man, thanks for listening, Taylor.
If you want to get in touch, DM us at coupleofinches on Instagram,
and we'll get you on the show for the 101.
Now, for our international audience, Taylor is a British name,
derivative of Talani.
All right, are we ready to – I think I might get emotional, guys.
No.
It's been an emotional week.
It's our 100th episode.
I'm loving what we're doing so far.
Are we ready to take a trip down memory lane?
Sure, let's do it.
Put your shoes on, Jenna.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Now, let's take a walk down memory lane from 100 episodes
of Is It Just Me?
Wow. Yeah, we've been doing this
for 100 episodes now, and
we wanted to take a little walk down memory
lane, as we say, listen back to some of our
favourite moments, particularly from the
early days, stuff that even I've forgotten, to be
honest, but it's hard to remember
a lot of the stuff we've done, so I don't know if our listeners
actually agree with what we've picked or not they might have other favorite moments yeah very true
but i mean i guess like we have a whole lot of new listeners that have only started very recently
yeah and uh have i don't know if i've gone back to episode one we've had people messages say i've
started at episode 20 it's like people just pick where they want to start from and go so some people
may not have even heard these bits yeah oh there's so many people listening in reverse chronological order.
I don't know what's weirder.
The fact that they start at the most recent and work back.
Yeah.
Or start at the very beginning.
Because I don't want them to start at the beginning.
We're still finding our feet.
Nah, it's terrible.
I'm still looking, to be honest.
All right.
Should we start with our very first show?
This will either be like, oh my God, we sound so different or exactly the same.
And we have not improved one bit.
So this will be interesting.
Our very first episode.
This is from when it turned on.
Well, Jenna wasn't even in the studio.
She was banished to the phone room, remember, in the first couple of episodes?
Yeah, the laughing was on mute.
Yeah, she was out there.
That's the solution to our problems.
All right, let's run it.
This is our very first show, I believe from 2019, Mitch?
Yeah, sounds right.
Pre-COVID.
Pre-COVID.
Oh, I know. I have a freedom. Fuck. What a time. Pre-COVID. Pre-COVID. Oh, I know.
The freedom. Fuck. What a time.
Let's roll it. This is the very first episode of Is It Just Me?
Now, here's Mitch
Chooley and Mitchell Coombs.
Well, here we are. Oh, okay.
So you're going to talk first, are you?
Well, I just assumed. Actually, I don't know why I did that.
Sorry. It's my radio thing
coming out. Well, I'll tell you what I'm used to.
As someone who is not on air and radio, I'm not used to people talking to me the way you're
currently talking to me.
How am I talking to you?
You're in radio mode.
Oh, I know.
You've got to relax.
I'm going to shake it off.
It's a podcast.
I'm used to forward announcing, back announcing.
In the next 15 minutes.
Well, I'm about to steal that job from you.
Welcome to the very first episode of Is It Just Me?
Yay.
Let me tell you people how this is going to work, all right?
We kick off each show with an Is It Just Me each.
We haven't told each other what it's going to be, so we may agree or disagree.
And then we end every show with a bit of fun.
I suppose this is where you're in a radio guy.
I give you permission for your radio guy to come back.
I know, I'm looking forward to it.
Like segments and stuff.
Yeah, got a lot of games, pranks up our sleeve.
Turn it off.
I think we sound no different.
Like our voices are the same, but God.
Our voices are the same.
What a pain in the ass I was.
Did you see me like cringing that whole time?
Mitch was cringing visibly with a Prosecco in hand.
God, can you please tell me that I'm less bossy than that?
Yes, yes, yes.
God, yeah.
Because like the way I said, I give you permission.
Permission. And then, oh, you oh you're gonna talk first are you like how the fuck is that any good way to kick off the podcast
i'm really setting myself up as a bitch from the get-go so someone has to talk first like imagine
if you're in a set of lights oh so you drove first yes someone has to and i can't remember
but we probably agreed that that was gonna to happen. I know, I know.
And I just thought it was funny to be a bitch.
I know that it was all in good fun, but I'm sorry.
No, don't apologise.
Don't be silly.
I listen back to that and I'm like, oh, my God, Mitchell,
you sound like a pain.
No, I think we just knew what our dynamic would eventually end up being,
so we tried to, like, force it, but then we got there naturally
within ten episodes.
Yeah.
And then I'm speaking so fast, but also that was the lowest energy I've ever been.
Oh, yeah.
Like I had a go at you saying, oh, you're being too much of a radio guy.
You need to relax.
But that opener, listen to how you talk.
You've never been more chill.
No, let's start it again.
Even to this day on episode 100, you're like, ah, welcome to the show.
And I'm saying nothing.
I'm more radio now.
And then when you're so relaxed, I'm like, calm down.
Yes.
Listen to it.
You sounded so calm and I still had a problem.
Now here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs.
Well, here we are.
Oh, okay.
So you're going to talk.
I'm sedate.
If anything, I was the one coming in hot.
God.
Here we are.
I didn't like that at all.
Well, that was our first ever episode.
100 or 99 later, I guess, really, if you're counting that.
Anyway, why don't we continue our stroll down memory lane?
We just had a little seat at a bench, but let's get back up.
Let's continue.
So similar to an Idgum top five, Mitch and I have picked two each,
and then because, you know, it's an odd number,
we've got to even it out somehow.
Jenna's got one.
All right, this is one of my favourite moments.
This is from episode 25 when the revelation came out
that Jenna was in fact a cat.
Oh, my God, that's right.
Because I think before this moment you'd been making so many jokes
on the show about her long fingernails.
Yes.
And then it was in this episode.
Remember when we did, what do we call it, Gold Digger?
Gold Digger.
Yes.
Where we'd interview each other trying to find out something we didn't already know.
Nuggets of gold.
Yeah.
And this was Jenna's nugget, as you say.
Yep.
Let's roll it from episode 25.
Your nails very long.
Yes.
And, okay, you've struck gold with my nails, right?
Yeah.
I went to the dermatologist when I was about 16 to get my nails checked because the skin
under is weird.
Yeah.
Because I can't cut them short or they'll bleed apparently i have cat nails show me jenna they're
claws because they've got what like you can't call them cat nails that's not a thing they're claws
you look like a uh like a little when you see ham she's eating a piece of carrot well it was
a very self-conscious time for me growing up with them i'm sure especially when you have to do net
ball and you have to show them how short your nails
are.
Oh my God.
You get told off for having long nails so you have to put band-aids over them.
You go, I'm half cat.
Yeah.
How else have they affected you?
Okay, all the cool girls had short nails when I was growing up.
And you tried to cut them but they'd just bleed out.
Yes.
So one time.
It's not funny.
No, it isn't because it was a very emotional time.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
So you've got cat nails.
Cats don't have nails.
They have claws.
They have claws.
That's science.
I don't know whether the dermatologist said dog or cat.
In either case, they're claws.
If anybody else has similar nail problems to me, please reach out.
We can maybe even form a little Facebook group.
Aw.
They can have a communal scratching post that they meet up at.
Yep.
This is what I had to grow up with.
Did anyone reach out, Jenna?
Nobody reached out.
We love you regardless of your ailments.
Thank you very much.
Great episode.
Now, one of my favourite moments that I picked,
this is going back to episode 12.
And I believe this was one of our first Jenna'sna's junks where we'd um we'd bring up
what we believe to be shit ideas that we like when we do the is it just means at the start
if we thought nah that's shit we won't use that we would just recycle them and they'd come up
during jenna's junk and i feel that i should have i should have backed this one more because i was
talking about how news readers always say, that's
right, when you first cross to them.
Yes, in a live news cross.
And I should have backed that because it ended up being quite funny what we talked about
afterwards.
Was that Jenna's Junk?
Yeah.
Wow, that's a staple of the show.
Yeah, it was one of the first ones we did.
All right, let's hear it.
Episode 12?
Mm-hmm.
Let's go.
So the news anchor, so like the bitch at the desk, says, oh, there's been shocking scenes at a robbery in Western Sydney this morning.
Let's go live to Lizzie Pearl, who is at the scene.
Lizzie, parents and children were very stunned watching on.
And then Lizzie goes, that's right, Deb.
It's like, I just hope one day that they disagree.
Like, oh, Lucinda Thomas is at the scene of the horrific bushfires
and Lucinda, families were lucky to escape in time.
No, no, Deb, I don't know where you got that.
No, no, back to you.
Greg Thomas is at the scene.
Greg, apparently the tsunami washed away the entire village.
No, Lee, I'm in the village and nothing is wet.
Like, why do they need to agree with them? Of course that they're on the same page. They're journalists. I'm in the village and nothing is wet.
Why do they need to agree with them?
Of course that they're on the same page.
They're journalists.
Brett, drought has ravished the town.
You're on the scene.
Casey, you're a slut.
I was born and raised here.
There's no drought.
We're in fact actually pouring water onto the ground celebrating,
so you've got your wires crossed.
And we cross now to Jeremy Markson,
who is at the scene of an armed robbery in Sydney's West. And Jeremy, the attendant there at the petrol station
is being hailed as a hero this morning.
I wouldn't say that, Deb.
No, he's not.
Really?
No.
And we go to Brett Levington at the scene of a murder.
The killer has been apprehended.
Brett?
No, Casey.
He's still on the fucking loose here.
We're all actually on the edge of our seats somewhere in the area
and we just cannot seem to locate him.
Everyone should run.
I think I should have backed that.
Oh, Ijum Gold.
That was good. Ijum Gold. That was good.
Ijum Gold.
And they still do it.
My turn?
Is it my turn?
Oh, yes.
Wow.
I was going to leave you to it last, but then that would imply that her pick is the number
one.
Yeah, you go.
You go.
We're going around the circle.
Stifling natural conversation.
Yeah, we were just talking up our own banter, talking about how brilliant we are as a duo,
and she's going, my turn, my turn.
That was good.
But this one's better.
Okay, go, go, go.
Okay.
So let's take it back to episode 40.
Okay.
So this one involved a drink when Mitchell opened a bottle of Coke.
Which Mitchell?
Me.
It's always Mitchell Coombs.
I call you Mitch.
Correct.
When he opened a bottle of coke
And went everywhere
Pretty much destroyed the studio
I was pretending it was a dick
Yes
Oh I remember
We got in trouble
Yeah
I don't know if we ever told that part on the podcast
But basically I was talking about how I hate
Confessions of a cum hater
Yeah
Confessions of a cum hater
And I was talking about how I hate
jizz and I was using a Coke bottle to demonstrate, you know, when you shake it up, it goes everywhere.
I was like holding it away from my face being like, bah, I don't want to get it on me. There
were internal complaints for days about that. Yeah. Apparently someone fucking knocked.
Someone took a screenshot of our video too. Yeah. And then we got pulled into the boss's
office and it was just so funny because knowing that he would have had to have seen the video.
Sit through the video.
And he got a complaint.
He was kind of like, look, I don't personally care, but just be careful if you're going
to go spraying liquids over this hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of studio equipment
that could be damaged by liquid.
But to be fair, I did it in the bin.
No, I know.
And I remember his words.
He said, look, I don't like cum either.
That's what he said.
And so we bonded over it.
Anyway.
My favourite part about this was not shaking up the coke bottle,
but we got a caller on after to back me up and she was fucking hilarious.
This is another example of why I like to get callers on.
All right.
Let's play it.
So Jenna, what episode is this from?
So this is episode 40.
I hate semen.
Really?
Which is a very, it's a very tricky complex to have when you're a big old queer like me.
Yeah.
Because you would assume that I come into contact with it a lot.
No, I avoid that shit.
I'd like to do a demonstration if I may.
Not on me, you know.
I feel like people should treat an ejaculating appendage the same way that you would treat a coke that's been shaken up.
So I'm just going to shake the coke up. Oh, he's been shaken up. Dad is shaking the Coke up.
Oh, he's shaking the Coke.
No, get it away from me.
I got a bit over here.
Do you know what?
Even though I pointed it away from me and tried to avoid it,
it's still all over me.
Oh, men are fucked.
Men are fucked.
Men are disgusting. We got Kate on the line now hey kate
are you like me where you think that spoof is just vile and like the worst thing in the world
okay look it is fucking rank that's just oh thank god yes yeah and my poor husband prior to meeting
me was lived a very sheltered life.
And so, you know, he'd come with a bucket list.
And I was like, well, I can be that because I'm a team player.
What was on it?
Okay, coming in the mouth.
He got a bit excited and it went in my eye and then she burned like a motherfucker.
Oh, my God.
It was nothing attractive about it at all.
Yeah.
Did you say that to him?
Were you like, bleh?
Yes.
We were howling.
It was the funniest.
Like, you can't laugh in the bedroom when shit goes wrong, right?
I know.
You're in the wrong relationship, yeah.
And then I thought, you know, I'll be a team player.
Maybe it was just inexperience.
Went back, tried it again.
Same fucking thing.
I'm like, this is very unattractive.
How are we still together?
This can't be a good look.
What else is on the bucket list?
I want to know.
Oh, stop it.
Don't.
What?
Is he trying to have a go right now?
No, but I tell you what, when I signed up to do this little segment,
he goes, well, you better have another go.
Like, third time lucky.
It's smart. It's very smart. Like, third time lucky. It's smart.
It's very smart.
It's just a no.
It's a hard no.
That was a good one.
See, Kate with good value.
Do you remember she also told us after that that her, like, eight-year-old son or something
listens to the podcast?
Yes.
I imagine if you heard that episode about his father and mother.
She's looking at his mother's eye.
We should do a Where Are They Now and get Kate, see if they're still together.
I know.
Yeah, well.
Love you, Kate.
All right, shall we come back around to meet Martin?
Martin!
Martin!
My turn.
Oh, look at her.
She's getting good now.
She's laughing off mic.
She's cackling into her crotch.
All right, this is a favourite of mine because it's so stupid
and it still gets quoted to me on the daily.
And people point it out to me because I still can't say Blyans.
Oh, the Blyans thing.
Yeah, the Blyans.
That's really caught on in my house too, like my household, my family.
Whenever I go back home for Christmas, someone will say, I don't know,
oh, that's mine, and someone will go, Mayan.
Like it's really caught on the blinds thing.
Yeah, my family do it too.
I've got friends that do it.
But I actually, whenever I go to actually close the blinds at home, it's a thing because
I actually say it.
It's a mess.
It's one syllable.
It's blinds.
I'm blind.
I'm illiterate.
But very rich.
So in episode nine, there's like-
Like Lea Michele.
Yes.
Yes, Lea Michele.
She can't read.
Did you know that?
Yeah, that's what I'm referring to.
Then I got it.
For the internationalists, illiterate means you can't read. Lea Michele is She can't read. Did you know that? Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. Then I ain't got it. For the international listeners, illiterate means you can't read.
Lea Michele is an actress from Glee.
Actress is when you're not an actor, but you're actually a female equivalent of a male actor.
Glee is the word from Shakespeare.
Synonyms include.
TV shows are kind of like movies, but there's episodes other than just watching it in one sitting.
Come, is it?
All right, this is from episode nine,
and it's the Blyans mispronunciation.
I'm pretty sure it speaks for itself,
but Mitch learnt that I could not pronounce the word Blyans.
In fact, I could, but I was giving it one too many syllables.
It was not clear.
Fucking distracting.
It's like when you're in bed and you can hear a mosquito
up near your Blyans, but you can't do anything to get rid of it.
What did you just say? Blyans?
Blyans. Do you think there's
two syllables in one? What are blyans?
Blyans. Keep the sun out in your bedroom.
It's one syllable. Blyans. You're like, blyans.
Blyans.
No, there's only one syllable. Blyans. I'm doing
one syllable. Blyans. Are you
stupid? You know what?
This is actually a problem because I used to
work on a show called The Thinker Girls
and we used to give away vibrators for gifts.
Vibrators.
Vibrators.
It's not via.
It's not like going via the instrument.
Vibrators.
Vibrators.
What's wrong with you?
I don't know.
What else do you say wrong?
You're like, oh, that's awfully kind.
Oh, no, I really don't mind.
Sir, I'm your surgeon.
You've broken your spion.
My what?
Your spion has snapped in two.
Oh, God, I had a really hard day at work today,
but I suppose it could be worse.
I could be out working in a my-and.
The blind leading the blind over here.
Let's go.
Oi, I parked illegally.
I hope I don't get a fire-and.
Jeez, my smoker's cough has improved.
Yeah, here we are having a go at Jenna for laughing on Mike,
but you literally went,
you weren't even trying to hide it.
My tongue touched the element in the microphone.
That's disgusting.
Lion.
God, we need a good mispronunciation.
It's been a while since we've had one.
Yeah, I feel like that's exactly what human-ky-and needs in these trying times.
I agree.
And I really appreciate that we've decided to really take time and rewind on the 100th episode.
You could almost say that rather than, you know, hitting rewind, we are viewing the podcast in high-end size.
You are.
You're very right.
You're very right. You're very right.
Yeah, we're very funny.
It should be a crime.
It should be.
It should be illegal to be this funny.
We're such masterminds.
Okay, come on.
Do one more.
Do one more memory.
Take us down, Mitch.
We've done two each.
You wrap us up with your last one.
Now, I don't want to blow smoke up your ass because my next favourite moment is definitely
a you moment but
it's kind of we can both take credit we're both winners here there are no you moments in a team
in a duo yeah well there is that but also i'm talking about uh the origin of sorry tunnel
while sorry tunnel was you know you delivered it it was my inebriated idea. So we were talking.
I think we might explain it in the audio actually.
Yeah, maybe we roll it.
Yeah.
Basically, Sorry Tunnel was a drunken idea of mine where we just like hang up on our guests.
Like imagine if last week we said to Reece Nicholson mid-interview, Sorry Tunnel.
Like that was my idea at the time.
Yeah.
It's kind of evolved from there where now we get sorry-tunnelled more by the listeners
than we do sorry-tunnelling ourselves.
Oh, people sorry-tunnelling me all the time.
But yeah, that's another one that's really caught on, much like Blyans.
Yeah.
This is how sorry-tunnel came about.
All right, let's roll.
From episode 35.
Wow.
Jenna, you know how during the thick of coronavirus lockdown, when restrictions were at their
tightest.
At the height. Yes. All the like restrictions were at their tightest,
all the radio hosts were getting their own home studios.
Yes, yes.
And Mitch was a little bit jealous that he never got one.
And then the other day, it's all easing,
people in Sydney are basically back to normal.
They're like, Mitch, we need to talk to you.
I'm like, yeah, they're like, we've got you a home set up.
That's right.
Times have changed, Jenna.
I got a phone call the other night and, oh,
you should have seen the pride in his face.
It was a Zoom call.
It was on webcam from his new home studio.
And I should point out that this was a Saturday evening and I was wasted.
And apparently that's when we start spitballing ideas for the show because I came up.
I couldn't tell you how it came about, but I came up with an idea called Sorry Tunnel.
No, you've got to say it how we say it.
The idea is called Sorry Tunnel.
Oh, my God. You've got to yell it.
You've got to yell it.
We decided to do a Sorry Tunnel phone call on,
remember that former Married at First Sight contestant, Nasser?
Oh, no, you did not.
No.
He's tried to be on every other reality TV show since.
I think to his own admission, he's a fame whore.
Like, he thinks he's Brad Pitt.
Yeah, 100%.
But basically the idea is we call someone and then not very long into the conversation
just say, sorry, tunnel, and pretend that we lost reception.
You replicate going through a tunnel and losing connection.
It's brilliant.
I think it's brilliant.
Jenna, you're the deciding vote.
I don't think we should do it.
Mitch still thinks we should.
Have a listen to how our trial went the other night when I was wasted.
Okay.
What about NASA from maths calling right now?
Why do you have his number?
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Sorry, tunnel.
Do I say sorry, tunnel, or do I just hang up and text it?
Say hello.
And have a bit of a chat and then thread it.
Oh, sorry, tunnel.
NASA.
Yeah? Who's that? How are you, mate? Who is it? Craig from Nova. NASA. Yeah.
Who's that?
How are you, mate?
Who is it?
Craig from Nova.
Who?
Sorry.
Tidal.
Are you kidding?
Who?
We need to do this on the podcast.
Like, where will people think we record from?
It's even more stupid listening back.
Should we do a live demo just on someone?
Oh, no, because that's...
No, I just think it's cruel to put them in that position.
What do you think, Janet?
No, take your time.
Don't forget it's your call.
It is your call, completely.
Well, initially I thought that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
On paper, it's terrible.
Oh, absolutely.
If Colin Yell Sorry Tun tunnel, and hang up.
Dreadful.
It's not a good elevator pitch.
But also, it's funny to us, I will admit,
but think of them, Jenna.
Yes.
It's about how they react.
We didn't get NASA's reaction.
Maybe a live demo would be good.
Okay, before you make your decision,
should we do a live demo?
I think so, yeah.
I think we should do Zoe Marshall.
Star, wag to the stars.
Benji Marshall, pro footballer.
She's one of the best known female media personalities.
Ah, ah, ah. Come this way.
No, away. Away from the...
Zoba. Hi. Hi, how are you?
Good, how are you? I'm good, sorry.
I'm on the podcast with Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Hi Zoe. Hi Zoe.
They all say hi.
We just thought we'd call you here because this is the final episode of season one
and we wanted to formally invite you to come on and guest host on season two.
Sounds fantastic.
Awesome.
Lock it in.
Oh, your baby fox wants to talk?
Yeah, yeah.
He wants to be on the final episode.
Put fox on.
Okay, put him on.
Say hi, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Sorry, tunnel.
No.
I'm sorry, tunnel.
I'm a kid.
I feel dirty.
Not on Fox.
Fox will be famous.
Oh, poor Fox.
Jenna was absolutely distraught.
I'm still so upset about that.
It was the same energy as those people in disaster movies that are like,
please find my daughter.
I love that we invited Zoe on season two.
We're up to season fucking four.
We haven't even had her on.
That's what I mean.
That's what I was nervous about you promising the fucking telephone earlier
because you say this shit on the show and then it never happens.
I'm four Proseccos deep. I will say, Mitch, I think it's time you admitted the fucking telephone earlier because you say this shit on the show and then it never happens. I'm four proseccoes deep.
I will say, Mitch, I think it's time you admitted the state
you were actually in when we first created Sorry Time.
Because you initially said intoxicated?
I said that I was inebriated and I said that I was wasted,
implying that I could have been drunk.
But I'm happy to admit now because it's a thing of the past
that that was during the thick of my stoner phase.
He was baked. I was completely blazed beyond belief. But I'm happy to admit now, because it's a thing of the past, that that was during the thick of my stoner phase. Yes.
He was baked.
I was completely blazed beyond belief.
Also, I love that we think we fooled people.
I think it's pretty obvious that you were cooked.
Yeah.
No, when I really, really, really was tossing up whether to fucking put this in the podcast because I'm like, oh, my God, I can't have this on record.
Like, I'm fucking cooked.
And so I was like, oh, God, do I use it?
But then I thought, I'll just say I was drunk, but those who get it will get it.
Oh, yeah.
They'll know.
They'll figure it out.
But, you know, I haven't done weed for ages because, God, I get the munchies real bad.
God, that's good.
Like, I was putting on so much weight during my stoner phase.
Maybe I'm actually secretly doing weed and I don't know about it.
Are you going to go home right now and spark up a fat scuba, yeah?
Round of applause.
Top five moments in no particular order.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of midges.
All right, let's continue on with the centenary celebrations of Is It Just Me?
What's next?
Time for a Q&A.
And now, to address all of the thoughts, questions, queries and concerns from the listenership
of Is It Just Me?
Concerns?
Wow.
Imagine if someone wrote in and goes, I'm really concerned for the amount that Mitchell
Coombs drinks.
Someone messaged me before and went, I'm worried about your heart.
And that was before I had my mini episodes.
So maybe they're onto something.
Why are they worried about your heart?
I don't know.
The weight.
Oh, really?
Who knows?
Who knows?
My cardiologist isn't worried, guys.
So neither should you.
This is a Q&A.
We did one very early on in the early days.
And we have a whole bunch of questions from you, from the idiots.
Yeah.
When we put the call out, we've got way more questions to get through than we did the first
time we did a Q&A, which I believe was episode 13.
Don't quote me on that.
Yeah.
So yeah, I feel like this is long overdue.
People have just been sitting around wondering shit about us and not getting it off their
chest.
So let's do this.
Let's get them done.
Do you want to start?
We both got questions in front of us.
Yeah, right.
So Mason says, Abby Chatfield filled in when Chiri was away once.
Question for Chiri.
If Mitch Coons was ever away, who would you get to fill in?
Good question.
Yeah, great question.
I don't know.
I don't think you'd ever allow yourself to be sick.
Even in the week that you were sick, we still did a mini episode.
I'm still not 100%.
No.
I don't know why.
It's just kind of entrenched in me because I've just never not done a podcast.
Yeah.
Like, not my cup of tea.
Trash alley.
Is it just me?
Never had a sick day.
I've never been filled in for.
So I'd be interested to know as well, actually.
I don't know.
Because I'm letting go of that whole idea of I need to be there.
I can't be away because it's not healthy.
If I need to be away, I should be away.
I'm the same with my radio show.
I'm like, I pride myself on never having a sick day.
And I realise that's manic.
Yeah, here's a heads up for our idiots listening.
Don't fuck it.
Like, get over that if that's the mindset you're in.
I never take a sick day.
I soldier on.
Yeah, that's really yourself that you're screwing over there.
Yeah, and that's not something to be proud of.
I've recently let that go.
And let me tell you the best sick day of my life
when someone else filled in on my show.
It's heaven.
Do it.
Next week for episode 101, it's going to be Mitch Turian.
Michelle Laurie.
Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I'd have to get someone that matches your level of cynicism, do it next week for episode 101 it's going to be mitch turian michelle laurie oh yeah oh no i'd
have to get someone that matches your level of cynicism but also beauty so michelle laurie but
she's like a highly skilled and experienced broadcaster and by the way i know for a fact
that she has no interest on coming on this podcast because i reached out to her before
did i tell you she goes to joy yeah we've told the story. Yeah, she literally said,
Mitchell, thank you so much for reaching out.
One of the readings you did on me years ago was spot on
and I've never forgotten it.
And I said, I'm not Mitchell Coombs, a psychic.
And she goes, oh, okay.
Never replied again.
I followed up three times.
She loves a drunk Instagram post.
If you want some entertainment,
some middle-aged white woman crises,
go to her Facebook page.
That's true.
Anyway, that's why I want her on this show.
Yeah, right.
I feel like when we do these questions, I feel like we need to be, like,
a little bit honest and try not to make jokes.
So if you actually had to, like, if I texted you and said,
I was just hit by a bus, soz, can't do it.
We could get our tried and true Talisha Veskia.
We love Talisha.
She's a good friend of the show.
I think Talisha could be a good fit.
Oh, my God.
Did I tell you?
Oh, yeah, I did tell you this.
But if the idiots listening have not heard this, Jenna,
I don't know if I told you this, but you know how Mitch and I always joke
that whenever we collaborate with a podcast, it ends.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Every podcast we've collaborated with has announced that they're finishing up weeks
after our episode.
It's happened.
Oh my God.
Are you telling me?
Yeah.
Party Games.
Literally.
The week after.
The week after we did our episode.
They said, yeah, no, we've had enough.
So yeah.
They were shocking.
Like I said, our collaborate and crush strategy is fucking going strong.
So if anyone hates the podcast, let us know.
Maybe it's Alicia.
Anyway, I don't really know.
I don't think you're ever going to be sick.
You know what? I'd probably get Hayden. There we go. I'd get Hayden
to come in. Oh, that'd be cute. People love
Hayden and I always get messages, more Hayden,
more Hayden. So maybe more Hayden.
Mason also says, and Coombs, if Churi was away
again, who would you get to fill in? I've got a list.
Oh, shit.
I'm praying for the day. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know.
Who would you get?
Maybe Nat Penfold. Oh, fan favourite. You should get her for me as well. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. Who would you get? Maybe Nat Penfold.
She's a fan favourite.
No, we don't have to.
You should get her for me as well.
Yeah, good point, actually.
Actually, no, that would be fucking chaos.
No, let's not do that.
It is chaos, regardless.
I'd also be interested to know what would happen if, like,
we just got Sam and Jenna in here, like, just the three of us.
Like, oh, Mitch isn't here, but the rest of the team is, you know?
I'm sure we could.
I mean, you know, very good, but we're not going to crumble.
What?
We wouldn't crumble.
We could do me, Mitch, and me, Jenna, and Sam.
No, I said when you're away.
Oh, I'm still thinking about me.
Yes.
This is the problem of having the same name.
Fuck.
Sorry, I know it is.
It's happened twice this episode.
It hasn't happened once in the hundred episodes.
A hundred episodes, I know.
I know.
COVID brain.
Oh, God, that's real too. It is real. Yeah, no, episodes. I know. I know. COVID brain. Oh God, that's real too.
It is real. I don't know who I'd get to
fill in. Either Nat or maybe we just do me,
Sam and Jenna. Alright, that twink's got mileage out of his
question. Let's move on. Ollie says,
have you two ever had sexual chemistry
or have you two ever had a dream about
each other? No, not really. Never
sexual chemistry. No offence.
No offence either. Maybe in the early days.
Maybe you think. But also I was straight. I'm using air quotes when I met you. No. No offence. No, no offence either. Maybe in the early days. Maybe you think. But also, I was straight.
I'm using air quotes when I met you.
True.
So I was like not exactly looking for it.
Hot piece of tail.
I mean, I've never felt that from you.
Like, I've never been like, oh my God, he's hitting on me or he's flirting.
Nothing like that.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But am I your type?
No, you're like a dad bod.
I'm further than a dad bod.
I'm like a granddad.
But you're like a dad bod.
Like, if I had a different head. Yeah, you fucking got a boyfriend. Why'm like a granddad. But you're like a dad bod. Like if I had a different head
You fucking got a boyfriend. Why are we
even talking about this? Sorry, Ollie.
Have you ever had a dream about each other? No, because
I'd remember it. We would have spoken about it on the show. Did Ollie
say sexual dream? Because I'm sure
I've dreamt about you. I can't recall, but never
like I've never fucked you in my dream. True, there's no sex
dream. I mean nightmare, Ollie, yes.
Yeah, no, no dreams. Sorry.
Not that I can recall. No dreams either. Thanks, Ollie.
Zach asks, oh,
Zach, this is good. Who ended up
selling more popsockets, Coombs or
Turing? Oi, oi, oi.
I have the answer, but I haven't looked at the email
yet because I wanted to wait for this
moment because I saw that question come through.
Let's do it.
As you know, we had our FebFit merch sale
recently and we were having competition as to who could sell more PopSockets.
You had the sexist, outdated blue.
I had the modern, inclusive, gender-neutral yellow PopSocket.
We've done this before, right, with merch,
where we've competed to see who sells more.
Side pieces.
I had the tea towels, and you had the psychiatric recessed dress balls.
Tea towel versus stress ball.
And who won again?
Oh, that's right.
I did.
You won.
You won.
Only because there was a fire at the tea towel factory.
Same with the rash shots.
Okay.
Hold on.
Here we go.
Oh, my God.
He's got the email.
Don't laugh.
What?
No.
Congratulations.
Oh, my God.
What?
You sold more blue. Oh, my God. What? You sold more blue.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
I'm proud of myself.
The blue, it goes with everything.
And you know what?
Men rule.
I'd like to say that it was like neck and neck, but it was, yeah,
you were further ahead than me in sales.
Oh, my God.
Really?
Well, you know what?
Equilibrium has returned to the world.
You won the stress balls.
I won this one.
I'm happy with that.
Look at me go.
Well done.
Right, Danielle wants to know,
could someone please explain the joke about Jenna having multiple lives?
I actually don't know how to explain it.
It's not a joke.
It just started one day.
I don't even know who started it.
It's definitely you.
I feel like that's definitely my humour,
to pretend that Jenna has lived multiple lives.
But it's kind of been,
because I've obviously known Jenna way longer.
I met her in, it was 2016 actually.
Yes, 2016.
In the gutter.
Yeah, that's right.
I showed up at work and she's like, do you have a pass?
And I'm like, who the fuck are you?
They didn't tell me this new bitch was starting.
And so she was sitting in the gutter waiting for someone to arrive.
I don't know this story.
She got there ridiculously early.
How times have changed.
She's never early to our podcast.
But, yeah, she was just in the gutter waiting for me.
And we did have this running joke in the office that Jenna could be 14 or 40.
You just can't tell.
And so similar vein, the whole multiple lives thing started because she's just an eternal soul.
You are. An everlasting spirit.
Perpetual, I think, was the original word
we used. You're just a perpetual
soul. You know what it ends up like when they go
and the perpetual flame is lit.
And I remember thinking, what the fuck
does that mean? And my dad was like, it means it never goes out.
Wow. You're like, pretty sure it does. Total fire
ban.
It's on the National park. You can't.
You better put it out.
I'll report you, old man.
Yeah, so I think the whole Jenna multiple lives thing started
and no one disagreed because they're like, yeah, it makes sense.
It makes sense.
It checks out.
No one knows what age she is.
No, I don't even know.
No.
All right, let's go to Elise.
Elise has a question that requires me to dust off the old sound effect board.
Viagra update. Yes, effect board. Viagra update.
Yes, it's a Viagra update.
Checking in with Mitchell Coombs, who, as we know,
struggled with the erect level of his penis only because he went back on,
was it antidepressants?
Yeah, and these particular antidepressants were renowned
for sexual side effects.
I called them boner killers.
Yes.
And then so the doctor was like,
to counteract the boner kill, let's give you Viagra.
And every week we would.
Viagra update.
Check in and get a Viagra update.
There was a few hit and misses with the Viagra.
It didn't work.
A couple of times I got the timing wrong.
Yeah.
And then the last Viagra update I gave you was when,
yep, it worked a treat.
But I've since swapped antidepressants to one that doesn't
even have that side effect right however the side effect that came with that there's just there's no
perfect one there's always a side effect the most recent one that i've been on the side effect is
weight gain which is why i've stacked it on oh i haven't noticed no i haven't oh i'll just show you
the fucking suitcase of clothes that no longer fit.
But I'm not joking.
Yesterday I swapped to a new one and that one does not give me an increased appetite. It does not make me gain weight and it might have sexual side effects.
And I'm like, you know what?
Haven't had a root in over a year.
So I feel like I know what's more pertinent to my life.
Fitting back into my old clothes.
Not fitting into a hole.
Maybe we bring it back in the next couple of weeks.
I don't think I'll need it because I haven't used it since the last Viagra.
Got it.
I've still got fucking shit loads in my medicine cabinet.
So if I ever need it, it'll be there.
If I ever need one, pop me one.
Yeah, exactly.
Actually, my latest cardiologist exam, he said, and you're not on, you don't smoke,
you don't partake in party drugs or alcohol.
And he said, what about Viagra? Do you you use viagra why did it need to know that i think
because it affects your blood pressure because it's pumping blood oh yeah it does it does really
that's the whole point of it it traps the blood that is already flowing through your veins when
it gets to the dick veins it traps it there oh no thank you which is why you know how everyone
thinks that when you take viagra, you just get an
instant syphilis?
No, you still need to be turned on to get the blood there in the first place.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Well, good segue into Brett's question.
Brett asks, cut or uncut?
Discuss.
Now, is he asking about us?
Because I feel like we've revealed this many a time.
I don't know if we have, but yes, I'm uncut bread and I tend to prefer engaging with uncut ones.
But as I've just said, it's been a year, so any old dick will do at this point.
I'm cut, circumcised.
I did not know that.
We definitely haven't spoken about this.
You knew that?
No, I don't think you've spoken about it.
My mum has my foreskin at home.
Oh, that's right.
She kept it in a fisherman's friend's jar.
And I saw it the other day.
That's fucked.
It looks like a piece of shallot onion that you get on top of pho.
All those lost nerve endings that you'll never understand.
It works well, to be honest.
I feel fine.
I don't have a fave, though, to be honest.
I don't really care.
I don't really.
A dick's a dick.
I've got another question from Danielle.
The same bitch that asked the previous one.
Yeah.
Oh.
Did Cheery ever use the butt plug training kit that Coombs gave him
for his birthday?
I forgot I did that.
That was a deep cut.
I was trying to convince you to stop being so strictly I'm a top.
I want to give you a floor.
And we had our own sex toy range.
No, let me tell you.
Because not only do you not have the nerve endings of the fourie,
but you also will just never find the male G-spot without a bit of backdoor.
Early on in my life, my baby gay journey,
no, I'm definitely not that anymore.
I've broadened my horizons.
What?
Broadened my horizons.
Have you?
Yeah, of course.
With the kid I gave you?
I've tried the first two.
Oh, yeah, because it was a three-part,
like you work your way up in size.
Yeah, and they're fine.
They work.
I've experienced the joys of the Sydney fireworks, put it that way.
You're joking.
And yes, I don't have them anymore because in the move they were lost.
What the fuck?
Where'd you leave them?
I don't know.
I think I had to tip the driver.
I might take one of these, kid.
Yeah, wow.
How do you lose butt plugs?
I know exactly where all my toys and stuff are.
Maybe it just slipped in.
It's in there somewhere.
I don't know.
I doubt it.
I doubt it. It's not getting that much use. So I. Oh, my God. I doubt it. I doubt it.
It's not getting that much use.
So I've broadened my horizons.
You know you've got to grow.
Don't cancel me.
And if you had to give a review about the male G-spot to any other strict people that are like,
oh, no, no backdoor action that are listening right now, what would you do?
Out of 10?
Yeah.
Oh, I could, like, an 8.
I could work.
It's not my preferred, definitely.
But no, I've experienced it.
It's not good when you just shove something up there,
but it enhances the experience that you're already having.
It's like when you heat up something in the microwave and you're nailed.
When you heat something in the microwave, not cold spots,
there's not a really hot spot in the middle.
No, it's more like if you're eating some McDonald's chips and you're like,
fuck, they forgot to put salt on this.
I mean, they're still chips and they taste fine, but oh, with the salt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They really enhance the experience.
You know what I'm saying?
Good comparison.
Yeah.
Let's go to Edith.
Wow.
I didn't realise you could get the show in a retirement home.
Edith says, what was it like the first time you met?
Well, we were in an elevator, Edith.
Oh, you do remember.
Of course I do remember.
My memory's actually been great lately.
It's just my heart that's been failing me.
I'm just swapping key organs.
See, you can't have it all.
No.
Can we in this modern day?
My liver will shut down in a year.
Yes, it was an elevator here at ARN.
It was Mitchell's birthday.
Oh, that's right.
Yes.
I didn't want to tell anyone because it was my second day working here.
And I was like, I don't want them to feel awkward and obliged to be like,
happy birthday, new kid who we just don't care about at all.
And then the doors open.
Hey, buddy.
Yeah, I'd never met you.
You knew who I was because you watched television and you saw the billboards.
You were on the street team at the time, Bucco.
Let's not get our wires crossed.
Read your history books.
Yes, I was on the street team.
I think we might have spoken about this before,
how we met each other in the elevator at work.
And, yeah, you were very, like, warm and engaging.
And everyone else here was just kind of, like, I found it really tricky.
I don't know if I've told you this part, but I literally, back then,
my social anxiety was so bad.
Completely different to how I am now.
I'm fucking way better now.
And I was literally going to a therapist,
not even far from this building, being like, oh, my God, I'm petrified.
I've got social anxiety.
I'm starting a new job.
I don't know how to cope.
And she would give me, like, specific tasks every day for,
like, exposure therapy.
Wow.
She'd be like, now, tomorrow when you get to work,
I want you to say hi, Bradley.
And I'd be like, I can't do it.
I can't do it. I'm too anxious. I can't. And then I'd go back the next I'd be like, I can't do it. I can't do it.
I'm too anxious.
I can't.
And then I'd go back the next day and be like, yeah, I did it.
It was great.
It worked.
And I remember, like specifically the reason I was there was because I was petrified about
straight guys.
I would say to her, I'm actually concerned that straight men just want to bash me as
soon as they meet me.
And she's like, babe, that's a bit irrational.
Don't know if you're across it.
And I was like, yeah, you're right, actually.
We got there.
But because at the time you were straight, when I met you,
we were so instantly comfortable, which doesn't always happen with me.
There's usually a bit of thawing out required.
I went back and I was like, I bonded with a straight guy.
Oh, sorry.
And she was like, good for you.
And because, yeah, everyone else, I was just like, oh, my God,
I can't even look at them.
I can't talk to them.
I'm too anxious.
But, yeah, you were fucking easy breezy.
Well, that's me to a T.
I haven't told the therapist that you turned out to be a raging homosexual.
Yeah, maybe I'm going to sit you back.
That was a false breakthrough.
Yeah, no, I don't have that anymore.
I don't feel petrified with fear about straight men anymore.
You've come a long way.
I actually prefer a lot of the straight men here to the gay ones here.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
And straight men will make you come a long way.
That was a great first meeting.
Yeah.
You were a bit yelly, but it's fine.
I felt comfortable.
Kate wants to know, does Mama and Papa Shuri still insist on flushing cereal down the toilet?
Every day.
Every time.
Hayden and I were there on the weekend.
Flush it down the toilet.
It's always Nutri-Grain.
It's so weird.
Who's not finishing the Nutri-Grain?
That's become a new favourite.
I think I've realised and I've come to realise this, that my family, we've been raised on
big portion sizes.
So we need half a box of a family pack of Nutri-Grain.
So that's why it would go in the bin.
Yeah, right.
So they still do that.
They swear by that.
To this day, it still happens, and I still do it too.
Abdul has written in.
This is for you, Jenna.
What happened to Jenna's lawsuit with the landlord?
Yes, you went to court to fight your landlord over the Meriden
service suite.
Wasn't it a compromise?
It was a tribunal, and yes, we did compromise.
So no one really won.
Well, I mean, we managed to settle it at half the bond.
And then you moved one floor down.
I moved four floors down.
Safe.
Yeah, right.
Thank you, Abdul.
Your question's been answered.
All right.
Mel wants to know, is the episode from Bogengate ever going to happen?
That was the original plan for episode 100, but Mitchell Cherry forgot.
No, I didn't forget.
I didn't forget.
I just realised that I had a week off after a year of work and I was like, no, I need
to actually, I will die.
I mean, thank fuck we didn't end up committing to it because you ended up having COVID that
week.
You were going to come on like 3rd of January or something.
Yes.
And we actually said, yeah, let's do it.
It's great.
I told my parents you were coming.
They were like, yeah, all right, cool.
We'll accommodate.
And then a little bit closer to the time I said, okay, so is this still happening?
And you're like, oh fuck, I forgot to ask Hayden.
He wants to go to LA.
No, but when you're in a relationship, you can't just throw things at him.
I had to make sure he was all right with it.
I know.
So next time I try and make this episode happen, which I feel will happen eventually, I'm just
going to have to do a group chat with you and Hayden so that you don't just forget to
run it by him.
Yeah, no, please do.
Like he's my PA.
Treat him as my PA.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it will happen.
Head on, heart.
I actually really want to do it.
Oh, I can't wait to see you coping on the farm.
It'll be brilliant.
Natalie asks, would you rather sit on a cake and eat a dick or sit on a dick and eat a cake?
That's from Natalie.
Sit on a dick and eat a cake.
Absolutely.
I'd rather sit on a cake and eat a dick.
That's on the bucket list now.
If you sit on the dick and eat a cake, you get both.
Because if you sit on the cake, you ruin it.
But if you sit on the dick.
Yeah, what is that achieving?
Sitting on a cake and sucking on it?
Unless you're into it.
Some people are into that stuff.
Why?
Don't ask me.
I'm not a cake sitter.
Do you think I'd ever waste a cake by sitting on it?
Maybe a smash cake.
That's a quick way to smash it.
Oh, yeah.
That would smash it.
Thanks, Natalie, for the dumbest question all week.
I mean, I get why she thought that was a thought starter,
but the answer is just so obvious to me.
Yeah.
I'd still rather just eat the cake without sitting.
You know there was always that girl in school when you played Would You Rather, it was like,
would you rather be eaten by a shark or eat a lolly?
Yeah.
Be like, that's not the game.
Make it tricky.
Yes.
Be eaten by a shark.
Yeah, it needs to be tough.
Tom says, do you ever get negative feedback on the podcast?
Not really.
People just keep it to themselves.
Although, a bit fucked off that our Spotify rating is 4.9. Where'd that.9 come from? It was 5. Not really. People just keep it to themselves. Although, a bit fucked off that our Spotify rating
is 4.9. Where'd that.9 come from?
It was 5. I know.
I know. Brodie
asks, Coombs, how's the wet dreams going?
What? Oh, fine.
I haven't had one since the last time
I brought it up. Oh, good.
Why the fuck have I given this impression that they're frequent?
Like, it's a real big problem
in my life. I've never had one and neither had.
That baffles me that you've never had one.
That just tells me that your hormones are off.
Because that's part of being a teenager and going through puberty,
which is what I'm going through now.
I still haven't gotten there.
I'm just, I have an active sex life and I get it.
No, but as a teenager.
Yeah, I was fucking everything.
Sorry.
Oh yeah, that one kilo of mince that mum left the thaw out on the bench.
Fucking it.
You're not wrong.
All right, so wet dreams are going well.
I don't know if I'd say going well.
It's not an issue.
Give us a tally.
How many since?
Like the pop socks.
I said none because we spoke about this because I was saying that I had a dry dream where
I thought it was a wet dream in my dream and I wake up going, oh, God, I'm going to have to do a tidy up now.
Nothing there.
And I was like, oh, my God, I just had an orgasm without coming.
My dream.
An internal one.
My dream.
All right.
Next we have, does anyone else think that Sam and Jenna should date?
That's just would be weird.
Well, apart from the fact that Sam is well and truly ensconced
with his Tinder girlfriend, Krishni.
She's gorgeous.
Who is beautiful.
She's stunning.
However, Jenna, she's quite a 10 herself.
So you could swoop in and be the other girl.
Put on a crop top and, you know.
I couldn't do that to her.
Really?
She's too nice.
No.
Sam's quiet.
I just enjoy just watching Jenna awkwardly just panic.
Just the inner panic of, I don't know what to say.
Hold on, guys.
Jenna's standing up.
She's doing it.
Oh, no.
It's the pussy power.
Oh, my God.
He's drawn to it like a bug to a zapper.
Oh, salivating.
Like an ant to a honeypot.
The drool's going all over the mic.
It's everywhere.
He's drooling.
Jenna's thrusting.
So does anyone think that Sam and Jenna should date?
No, I can't picture it.
I'm fully against it.
I feel like this is how it would happen, is that we'd be at a party, and the last time
I saw you at a party, Jenna, was probably three and a half years ago.
So there's also that.
Yeah.
She doesn't do the whole turning up thing, does she?
No.
No.
And I feel like that it would be Jenna that would go, fuck, I've got nothing else.
And that's how that would happen.
Sam, I'm in love with you.
And you'd be like, oh, fuck, what do I do with this information?
Jesus.
Quick finger bang?
I don't know.
Just to be polite.
Probably.
No, I can't say it in answer to your question, Catherine.
Not going to happen.
Carolyn.
That's enough out of you two.
Carolyn asks, who are your celebrity crushes, Mitches?
Oh, I don't really have celebrity crushes.
I like Tom Hiddleton.
Who?
Tom Holland, sorry.
Holland, right.
Completely different.
For the internationals.
Who's Tom Hiddleton?
Isn't that Taylor Swift's ex?
Yeah.
I don't really have any celeb crushes, but I do remember being quite fond of Troy Sivan
back in the day.
I've gone on record many times saying that he was my gay awakening.
I still am.
Weren't you also into Conor Franta?
Oh my word, Jenna.
You've got no idea.
You do like a feminine boy.
Funny that.
It's almost like I want to fuck myself.
No, I've actually pivoted in a way.
I like a guy that's in touch with his femininity and isn't, like,
you know, toxic in that way.
No.
But, yeah, I don't like the poonsy boys like Conor Franta as much anymore.
Oh, I watched one of his videos the other day.
Ten-minute video, come and get a matcha green tea.
Mate, that was a 30 seconds.
Yeah, like I'm also sharing your feelings and like being a little bit in touch with
your emotions.
But sometimes I think Conor Franta needs a fucking drink some concrete and harden the
fuck up.
Honestly.
I don't have any other celeb crushes.
No, not really. Do you and Hayden
have hall passes? You know that thing where you're
allowed to root one person outside the relationship?
I think I originally wanted Troye Sivan
but that is not saying he'd want to
absolutely be throttled by me, but it's in the realm
of, I interview musicians all the time
and artists, so we could come to face to face.
So Hayden's like, nah, that could actually happen.
I love how you think that it's in the realm.
Like, oh, if I interview them, one thing could lead to the other.
Let me tell you.
Has anyone ever rooted a guest?
Like, if I was single and confident, I would.
I could.
A lot of ifs.
Yeah, but hey, it's in the realm of possibility.
It's not like, oh, I'd like to fuck Mahamudagandhi.
It's not going to happen.
If he manifests it, it'll happen.
Anything in this world could happen.
But he's dead.
Troye Sivan when?
No, can't see.
All right, Candice wants to know.
Hi, Candice.
She says, dearest Jenna, not a question,
just wanted to say that you're my favourite.
Oh, thank you so much.
We said quite clearly that it was a Q&A, Candice.
The Q means question for the internationals.
Q&A stands for question and answer.
And so the fact that you've submitted something that wasn't a question
is completely against the point.
A clearly stands for arse lick in Candice's case.
No, no.
Candice, thank you so much for your lovely message.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
And I'm glad to have one fan.
Wow, that's a touching message.
Thank you.
So tailored.
Abby asked, does this song still make Coombs gag?
And I actually don't know.
Not really gagging, but I'm just like, oh, it just irks me.
Bubble butt.
It was the.
Yeah, there it is.
It was a gag.
Yeah, I hate the way that it sounds like his cheeks fill with air.
It sounds like he's vomiting. Oh, I don't. Yeah, I agree the way that it sounds like his cheeks fill with air. It sounds like he's vomiting.
Oh, it does.
Yeah, I agree.
Nah, we did a whole segment about songs that fuck you off, didn't we?
I think so.
Yeah, nah.
Nah, don't rate that one.
It has not grown on me one bit.
There you are, Abby.
Okay, I've got one from Joel.
He says, can you all be absolutely munted for the 100th episode?
I feel like I'm heading in that direction, Joel.
I might have had more than I should have.
Getting a bit slurry and I've got to drive home.
So here, can you take that glass off me?
I can't be trusted.
No, give it to me.
I'm yawning.
Oh, you're yawning.
Oh, that's depressing.
You're bored in your own episode.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
My blood sugar levels are just going through the roof of this smash pizza.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot that there was the pizza over there too.
I've been grazing on this smash cake.
Bloody beautiful.
This pizza's almost done.
Belinda also wants to know, are you planning on being parents one day?
Nah.
You don't want to be a parent?
It's not that I don't want to.
I just feel like I've already, I mean, when you come out of school,
part of you does grieve that part where you're like,
oh, that's what my future's going to be.
Yeah, definitely. Because you kind of just assume as you're growing up that, that part where you're like, oh, that's what my future is going to be. Yeah, definitely.
Cause you kind of just assume as you're growing up that,
oh yeah,
okay.
One day I'll get a wife,
start having kids.
So I've already kind of gotten through the process of accepting that that may not happen.
And I'm totally fine being the fun single aunt in all honesty.
But if it happens,
sure.
If it,
if it comes up,
so to speak,
it's not going to spontaneously happen.
I think that's what I mean.
I mean, like if I, you know, if I manage to fall in love with a fellow human being
and we go, yeah, that sounds like a fucking lit idea.
Let's have kids.
Then, sure, I'm not against it.
Who knows?
I'm just going to go with the flow.
And if it doesn't happen, I'm fine.
I definitely want kids.
I'd like to have kids.
I'd love to have a big family.
Oh, my God.
But later in life.
I actually like to start a family, family like late 30s, 40s.
I don't want to do it like 29.
That's in three fucking years.
I suppose you don't really have a biological clock to worry about if you're just being
the father.
No, but then it's like Kyle Sanderlands who, for our international listeners, is like the
Howard Stern.
He's having a baby at 50.
I don't have a baby at 50 because then by the time you're 70,
the baby's just learning what life is, you know.
And half the fun I've had with my parents is when we're all adults.
So it's hard because I'm like, oh, I'll have to have kids young
so then we can be adults together.
But also, fuck, I want to live my life.
How dare you.
How dare you sit in Kyle's chair right now in this studio
and say that he's too old.
I never said that.
And he's doing it all wrong.
I never said that. What you said doing it all wrong. I never said that.
What you said was, I could never do that.
I didn't know if he hears, he's going to snap my neck.
All right, let's end it with Brandon.
Brandon says, are you guys planning on keeping the podcast going for a while?
I mean, there's no plans to not do it.
We've passed the 20-episode burnout time and time again. So I don't know.
I feel like it'll just be something random.
Like Mitch is like, oh, I got offered a job in Tokyo.
I'm like, I guess we have to end the podcast.
Yeah.
It'll just come to a random end like that.
But there's no plans.
Like neither of us are like, fuck this.
I mean, unless there's something you want to tell me.
No, God, no.
No, no, no.
Yeah.
My middle name is Brandon.
That question's from me.
If I ever left the show, if you left the show,
would we recast or we'd end the show?
You know when, like, they killed off Roseanne
because she said that racist thing and then they put in another actor
and it was really terrible?
I don't know.
It just really narrows down the recruiting process
when you need another Mitch to fill a couple of Mitches.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like we're kind of imperative to keeping the show going.
True.
Yeah, and most other Mitches are terrible.
You know what?
Most Mitches are fucks.
Apart from each other, have you ever met a Mitch that you liked?
No.
No?
No.
They're all awful.
No, I'm not even joking.
I'm kidding.
I know.
You know, we're the current front contenders to be the most famous Mitchels.
There's not many famous Mitchels in the world.
There's none.
Name one.
Well, I'll have you know that on famousbirthdays.com,
I'm the fifth most popular Coombs, so there's something.
Coombs?
Who's in front of you?
I don't know.
Let me look.
Am I on that website?
No, they emailed me and said, your fans have been searching you.
Do we have permission to add you?
And I was like, go for it, babe.
But they got my birthday completely wrong.
Oh, yeah, you're 15, aren't you?
Oh, I saw that.
Let me check.
Have they changed it? Yes, they have. Correct age. Oh, yeah. You're 15, aren't you? Oh, I saw that. Let me check. Have they changed it?
Yes, they have.
Correct age.
Oh, my God.
I've been bumped up to second most famous coombs.
Oh, wow.
I was fifth the other day when I looked.
Who the fuck is Torrance Coombs?
What's it on?
What's it on?
Famousbirthdays.com.
Torrance Coombs is a TV actor from Vancouver, Canada.
38 years old.
I'll be dead soon.
It'll be right.
Oh, I see.
So it's not actual fame.
You can just click the boost button.
Everyone go boost me to the number one famous Coombs place.
I'm going to search my name.
I'm telling you, you wouldn't just be there by coincidence, I don't think.
Mitch Durie wasn't found and will never be found.
I got an email this morning, R Renny's sidebar, really random
But it was from academia.com
And it said
M. Turi, you've been mentioned in a paper
What, like an academic thesis or something?
Yes
The name M. Turi
I'm not meant to be talked shit about in a thesis
I know, the name M. Turi was mentioned in a paper
By someone in Dhaka, Bangladesh
That was uploaded to academia
For the internationals.
Bangladesh is a country.
All right, Q&A over.
Thank you, idiots.
Yay!
Well, there you go.
I hope that we cleared anything up that you were wondering.
Yep.
Well, anyway, there you go.
Episode 100 done and dusted.
I can't believe we, A, made it, and, B, it's over already.
I know, didn't it fly by?
Actually, fuck, this is a long one.
Yeah, well, you know what?
100 episodes, we've treated you with an extended episode.
Yeah.
We've rabbited on about ourselves, but thank you so much for listening for 100 episodes
because we would not keep going if people weren't listening to this.
And we are so grateful to have you in our lives.
Oh, yeah.
And there was a while in the early days when I was like, oh my God, no one's listening.
There was just, do you remember when there was a lot of crickets when we first started?
And then, I don't know, just eventually the audience started building.
And then we were like, oh, shit.
Like, it just kind of took off at one stage.
But in the early days, I was like, oh, my God, why are we bothering?
No one's listening.
But, hey, you found us.
And we're very grateful for that.
And the more and more people, the new ones that have found us through TikTok and academia.com,
we love you.
No, we do appreciate it.
I mean, there'd be no point in doing it if we weren't connecting with people.
No, and the messages of support and checking in on us when we had the week off, it was
very, very nice.
No one checked in on me.
We love you.
Oh, they asked about you through me.
I said he's died.
I said he's died.
They went, thank God we all partied in the streets.
I'm back next week for 101.
Oh, we should do a Zoe 101 themed episode because you don't know about it.
Remember we realised that you've never seen that Disney show?
Yeah, no.
So you're going to do a theme thing that I can't really team with it, can I?
No, because that's so unfair.
Brittany's bitch sister.
We don't like her.
Jamie Lynn threw her sister's name and dragged her through the mud.
Is Jamie Lynn on that show?
Jamie Lynn is Zoe 101.
Oh, no wonder I don't give a fuck about her.
Yeah, that's the spirit.
From an early age, I knew she's not worth paying attention to.
No.
Jamie Lynn Spears.
Bitch.
Absolute mongrel slut.
If you want to give us a follow.
I get a bit lippy after some bubbles.
He does.
Too much smash cake.
Follow us on all socials, Couple of Mitchells.
No, that's not it.
We've rebranded.
After 100 episodes, he hasn't learnt the handle.
Couple of Mitchells.
Honestly.
We love you.
We will see you next week for 101.
Thank you for sticking by us for 100 episodes.
And you can join our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots,
if you want to maybe dispute our favourite moments.
Yeah.
Because we were just, you know, pulling it out of ours.
Maybe there's something really obvious that we forgot.
Or not.
Submit some.
Submit some.
Yeah.
And, Mitchell, I didn't tell you,
but we're surprising you for the 100th episode.
We're not walking out of here.
We've got a helicopter to take us out, baby!
Jump on Bronwyn!
Bronwyn Bishop is here, everybody, to take us out.
Oh, she saved us a seat. That's good of her. Thank you. Obviously, she's getting a here, everybody, to take us out. She saved us a seat.
That's good of her.
Thank you.
Obviously, she's getting a lift too.
Oh, of course.
She's paying for this on the government card.
She's landing just over there, Bronwyn.
Thank you.
See you next week, everyone.
We love you.
Thank you for listening, idiots.
We love you.
Have fun.
See you.
Bye.
Oh, dream of a head.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of meaches.
Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
We pretend that we're done and then we keep chatting away.
This is our 100th AD Debrief.
Wow, can you believe?
Yeah, I can because I kept count.
100th episode and we do one per episode,
which actually means we're at 100.
If you're an international episode,
it's just like a portion of an overarching series.
100 is a number.
Yeah.
Followed by 101 and preceded by 99.
Yeah, that's right.
Who do you think will precede, succeed, is it just me?
When this show ends, we Will we give it on
Like will this be like a tonight show
Where the show never ends
And we pass it over to two new people
That could be a nice tradition
Bullshit
They can start from scratch like we did
They can beg for ratings
And followers
And subscribers
Money
And all that shit
And money
No we don't have to beg for that
God we're knocking it back this stage
I know
We're like please enough
Enough
Enough
The deal we said no to.
We had to remove our BSB
and account number from the bank. We just couldn't
take that much money.
I'm Smash Pizza. Thanks to Smash Pizza.
Go to smashpizza.com.au
Have a look. Because they're very cute. This is great. I've been eating it
on my own. And Smash Cake Sydney.
This is the white chocolate one. Do you want some white chocolate?
It's really good. Pop it in my
pizza lid. I'm going to throw it at your forehead.
No.
Thanks.
Do you want to take some of this mashed pizza?
Yeah.
Oh, I felt my stomach turn as I stood up.
I've only had wine and chocolate.
This is not a good day.
It's got Oreos in it.
Oh.
Oh my God, does it?
Does it?
Jenna, can I have some lollies or something?
Of course.
You're absolutely joking.
Actually, no, we're not meant to eat on the podcast.
People hate that.
I know, but it's our 100th episode.
Yeah, it's our 100th episode.
Thereby, we should make it an unpleasant listening experience
for everyone involved.
Has anyone got a blackboard that we can run Jenna's fingernails down?
It's our 100th episode.
We've earned it.
Anyone got a cat we can drown?
Hey!
Anyone got a crying baby on an aeroplane?
What champagne is this?
Because we've only opened one bottle, which is not like us,
and I'm, like, plastered.
It's Calipiano.
It's in carrot.
It's in a gold bottle.
Prosecco.
Brut.
Did you drink much when you had COVID?
No, not until the last couple of days.
Yeah, I really, I made up for lost time because i
was so proud of myself i have like for probably the last six months i have not had a drink like
monday to thursday because i was i would have wine every night sometimes a whole fucking bottle a
night and when i had the antidepressants that would increase appetite and weight gain i was
like all right i gotta make some cuts somewhere and getting rid of midweek rosés with that, unless I had an event or something.
And when I had COVID, I was like, even though I know that I shouldn't do this,
it just, when you're isolating for seven days, it feels like lockdown.
And what did I do during lockdown?
I drank.
Yeah, a lot.
And so during the last couple of days of isolation, I fucking
Jimmy brought
Have you heard that Jimmy brings?
Yeah, I've heard he does and I've seen him do it
and he's very good at it
Well, Hayden and I screwed up because we got a jacuzzi the same week
we had COVID and we were drinking, so it was a mess
like we were just, our brain fog was
COVID induced, then spa induced
and then alcohol induced, we had a bad week
I got mixed reviews.
There were enablers on Instagram saying,
drink more, it's an antiseptic, all that shit.
But then there were others who were saying, don't drink.
You'll just make your recovery stretch it out.
It'll take you longer to recover.
And I'm like, nah, I'm not in a rush.
I felt bad for you because you had COVID when it was boring.
I had COVID when it was a status symbol.
I was famous. I was so late it was a status symbol. I know.
I was so late to the trend.
It would be like if I started planking right now.
Yes.
I'm late to the trend.
Mitch is doing the Harlem Shake, everyone.
I'm going to post that on the socials.
Off by Gangnam Style.
Yes.
Oh, no, that trend is. Have you heard that new song?
Have you heard that trend?
It's back on TikTok.
It's huge now.
You're joking.
No, you do.
With the trauma thing.
Yeah, it's about an awful thing that has happened to your life
over the back of that song.
So someone's like, thought I was going to a nice dinner
with my boyfriend and then it's like the song's building
that I'm the drop.
It's a photo of him in a casket because he died that night
in a car crash.
It's a great trend.
It's awful.
Jenna would love it.
That's dark.
It's so dark.
But I kind of love it.
I'll send it to you because, you know, if you like one video
then the algorithm's like, we'll give you more death.
I think I like two of those.
Now I'm getting all these death content. Yeah, me too. Right? I don't know then the algorithm's like we'll give you more def i think i like two of those now i'm getting all these def content yeah me too right i don't
know what the fuck's up with my tiktok at the moment but you know how your loving gay facto
hayden yes says follow the trends follow the trends that's the key to success i see no trends
on mine i see the same shit i don't get any of the trending sounds that people always seem to use
yeah at the moment i'm getting a lot of office talk,
which is fucked because I haven't worked in an office
for nearly a year now.
And it's like, how to reply when your toxic boss
rejects your leave application?
And I'm like, I don't need this.
I don't recall ever engaging with this content.
And why is it serving me so much office talk?
Like, oh, that toxic boss that won't let you work from home
and insists you come back to the
office. And I'm like, what the fuck?
Why am I getting all this?
My algorithm was so on point the day after I came back
from the hospital. This is true. This is the video that popped up.
It said, coming home with that euphoric feeling
that lasts about a day after you go to the ER
for a panic attack and leave with everything looks great.
Like, that is
exactly what I did.
And the sound as well The SNL
What does it mean with everything looks great
Oh because you go with the panic attack and they go everything looks great
And then you feel good because you know everything's fine
But then the next day you're like but what if they miss this
What if they do this
I had a panic attack hangover when I had mine
During the psychiatric recess period
Actually no my biggest panic attack was before we ever did this podcast
The other one was fucking nothing
Oh yeah we would never introduce that amount of stress on you Well Really? Actually, no, my biggest panic attack was before we ever did this podcast. The other one was fucking nothing. Oh, yeah.
We would never introduce that amount of stress on you.
Well.
Yeah, no, it was like a two-day hangover after my really bad panic attack.
Really?
During the Not My Cup of Tea days, yeah.
Yeah, well, when your podcast gets cancelled, that'll happen to you.
It wasn't cancelled.
Through the ringer.
Where you got that idea from?
Also, I love, you know what i noticed
recently when when i first started trash alley i was like oh my god it's so weird that you're
not jealous and you're like no of course i'm not jealous it's fine i'm supportive and then i think
one day that you just forgot that you made that stance because all of a sudden i just keep getting
all these jokes about yeah it's they're on probation we don't know if it'll last and i'm
like i think he forgot that he told me he's going to support me this time. No, I just decided.
I think he forgot.
No, I just decided it's boring when I'm supportive.
It's funnier when I.
Well, in that case, your radio show is a joke.
Because it's way more interesting if I'm not nice.
Never true.
Well, I don't mind.
If I do it, you can do it.
Your TikTok's fucking embarrassing too.
Oh, I had to delete some TikToks I posted.
Why?
Aiden's like, just post if they do well, keep them.
Oh, because they just do shockingly. But he's like, you've got to put them ups I posted. Why? Hayden's like, just post if they do well, keep them. Oh, because they just do, shockingly.
But he's like, you've got to put them up at random times.
His advice.
He also, like, a friend was over the other day,
and she wanted to get to TikTok.
Zoe Marshall, who prank called on this show, he replayed it.
And she's like, help me, help me, help me.
I'm like, oh, Hayden can help you.
You know, he can hack the algorithm.
I don't think he can hack the algorithm per se,
but I'm sure, I'm pretty sure if a video is
already doing well it then does become someone at tiktok's decision if they're gonna let that
trajectory happen or if they're gonna go no we don't like this we're just gonna kind of let it
lit they're gonna let it die here like a video might hit half a million views and then someone
at tiktok will be like oh shit i better look into this yeah no that's fucking great we'll
boost that to a few more.
Or they go, no, that's enough.
I don't know if you do this too.
I'm making that up though.
Like I'm completely talking out of my mood right now.
Yeah.
I believed it.
That's always been my theory.
That's when you're most convincing when you're talking out of your mood.
Yeah.
I don't know if you've done this, but I now go to TikTok when I need to watch something.
Like I need to learn.
Like I used to go to YouTube if I was buying something new.
Like I wanted to look at the new Apple products that were dropped last week.
So I went to TikTok and searched Apple event.
Oh, it's all there and it's under a minute.
It's heaven.
That's the best part.
I can't deal with YouTube anymore because a lot of the YouTubers back in the day,
the trick was the longer the video video the more ad space you get
yeah and so like they would really drag the videos the fuck out and i'm like i just want to know how
to do a good messy bun yeah why just go for 11 minutes yeah the actual explanation itself was
30 seconds you know what else irks me with those shit word economy in recipes i wanted to make
diet chia pudding cups and what i wanted was How many fucking chia puddings? How to
do it? This one website, right? It was like Melinda
Bakes. Sure, I'll give her a go. Seems like
she'd know how to bake. Chia pudding.
My perfect recipe for a chia pudding. Scroll
down. The history of chia seeds.
I don't need that. Scroll down. My grandmother's
relationship with pudding. I don't give a
fucking shit. Lemons. Maya
lemons. Is it a cookbook or a memoir,
bitch? Make up your mind.
I know.
What is the ingredients, please?
And I had to scroll six or seven scrolls to finally get the ingredients list,
only for it to be in the imperial units.
So then I had to go to another website.
So fuck you, banked by Melissa.
Waste of time.
And with Dina Lee, you don't have that problem.
Use code Mitchell Coombs.
I might be jumping on the Dina Lee trend too,
so you might be using code Mitchell Cheery very soon.
Beg your pardon?
Mitchell Cheery.
You're going to be working with dinnerly too?
Yeah.
God, you're jealous, in all honesty.
They reached out to me and they said,
we want someone who eats twice as much as Mitchell Coombs.
So that's why, to be fair.
Yeah, no, there was a – no, I'm not going to go into this, actually.
It's not that interesting.
I just realised that I'm talking about fucking influencing.
No, no, no.
We want to talk about real jobs like miners.
Yeah, yeah, miners.
And bank workers.
And oil rig builders.
And forklift drivers.
Forklift drivers.
And post office delivery clowns.
None of us do real jobs.
You influence.
I speak into a stick and talk about music and interview idiots.
But no one hears.
No, that's not true.
And then Jenna writes articles that people will be dead in 10 years
that are reading it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like they have to, I was going to say,
they have to close one eye because they're legally blind
in the other to read your article.
And Jenna, your articles aren't read like you think they are.
The font is at 99.
So they read it vowel by vowel, consonant by consonant. And Jenna, your articles aren't read like you think they are. The font is at 99. So they read it vowel by vowel.
Consonant by consonant. And like they
did not pass. You know how the old
people have to redo their driving test?
Yeah, like they're just reading your articles because
they're on the bus. They don't drive anymore.
That's why she put so many pictures in it.
She wrote an article about the 20 year anniversary
of Steve Irwin's death and it was three emojis.
Crocodile, sad face.
No, what they do for a bit of light reading on the bus is they print
the articles at home and then take it with them because it's cheaper
than buying the paper.
Oh, see, what a real job.
It's true.
Sam makes videos that get uploaded and only bots comment on.
Only bots?
Hi, I really need to thank Jacinta Smith for helping me invest
$12 million into.
Who the fuck is Jacacinta smith and
why are you commenting on jackie o's i've been getting all those scammer comments too it'll be
in some cooked android looking font being like wow it really works yes i followed blah blah blah
and in three days i'm like what the fuck where'd this come from and like others that are like
don't look at my profile i bet you can't do that and all this. You know what I've noticed ever since I've started selling my
sellout award winning stand up tickets
if you post on
Facebook anything with the caption
tickets here I'll get
spanned with people commenting
I bought tickets but
I'm selling them because I can't make it that
night. Anyone DM me if you want to buy
them. And I'm like don't DM
this piece of shit that
it's just like i don't know the bots search the word tickets and just comment that on everything
i got one today if you're looking to grow your following and credibility dm guanas
what the fuck if you're like you've really disgraced yourself and your instagram's shit
but we can help you know what i get that are real and these aren't bots but almost more annoying
than the actual bots that's not true um is when I get up-and-coming artists
send me their music.
Oh, yep.
And, like, I love you guys, but I don't have that kind of pull.
Like, I can't just put a random ukulele song on my show.
It's not how it works.
I get sent it for WSFM from these young artists.
But eventually someone would find out,
because I don't think the bosses are sitting at home.
Actually, no, you're not on super late anymore.
I was going to say at 11 at night listening,
being like, let's make sure he's only playing the hits.
I feel like you could let one flip through if you wanted to,
but you probably don't want to.
No, I've had the most feedback about my show from the bosses
in the last two months because my show is actually listened to now.
The sun is up.
People are in traffic.
I had to record my show the other day and I was doing something
and I was in the car at seven.
So many fucking cars on the road.
I'm like, shit, this is when I'm on.
This is my time slot.
Felt good for a bit.
Then it hit nine o'clock and everyone was at home.
Well, that's where my inner country kid comes out
because even at midnight I'm like, God, it's busy.
Why is there so many cars out?
Even then when it's considered quiet, I'm like,
too many people on the road.
Can't get a park.
There's so much parking drama going on at my house.
You miss Hayden's birthday. We had a house party. You had
COVID and Jenna had dermatitis.
Telethon! Telethon.
Sorry, they're so close those words. Telethon.
Oh my god. Whereabouts on your body did you get the telethon?
Where did it grow? Did you get the cream?
Jenna's got mosquito
bite. Telethonitis. Yeah, I do.
Anyway, we had a party
in, it's like a little terrace in the inner west and you guys couldn't
come.
So we had the back alley, which is like communal, but oh my God, the back alley politics that
I have created by throwing a party in our back alleyway.
We opened our back gate, put like a trestle table in there so people could play beer pong,
but we also, oh, well let's open the cake and the presents out there.
So we like continued the party into the alleyway.
Were you not long ago on this podcast saying that you hate beer pong and like drinking
games?
No, drinking games.
I think I said I like beer pong.
Oh, that's fine.
We were talking about like, never have I ever.
Yeah.
King's cup.
And the rules are never, ever consistent.
Oh, you've got to do a somersault.
Why?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Since when's that a rule?
Yeah.
Dumb.
Go fish.
Yeah.
And we played in the backyard.
Anyway, the next morning, oh, we had some grumpy neighbours.
Oh, really?
They parked my car in twice.
Two neighbours parked me in, which has never been done before,
but it was a clear act of defiance.
Was it really on purpose?
Yes, because this has never happened before.
We parked there every night.
There were ping pong balls all through the neighbours' backyard.
There was cake on the garage doors.
Oh, God, it went over the fence.
No, we were in the alleyway.
We were over the fence.
The party had continued over the fence.
So I broke neighborly rules and I broke alleyway politics
and I partied in the communal alleyway.
I don't know.
I don't know who sat him on here because if I had bloody ping pong balls
and shit rocking up on my good lawn, I wouldn't be happy.
But I wouldn't park you in out of spite.
I'd just badmouth you on my award-winning podcast.
No, it's the back.
Go back, that's my itch.
It's the back.
It'll be on this podcast.
Get your pink punk balls off my lawn.
That'll be us when we're 60 still doing this podcast.
I know.
Can you imagine?
I like that this is the award-winning podcast.
Anyway, it was a mess, so I had to complain.
I gave two neighbours a bottle of Prosecco on either side to say sorry.
Was it better than the Prosecco you bought for today?
Because Jenna, Mitch and I both assumed that we'd want wine for this episode.
We both went and bought it.
Mitch is like, sorry, running late.
I'm at Dan Murphy's getting Prosecco.
And I'm like, babe, on it.
As if I wouldn't bring it.
I got shit Yellowtail Prosecco.
Great company, run by a lovely man.
I was going to say, Yellowtail, that rings a bell.
Yeah, it's yum stuff.
Didn't Yellowtail refuse to sponsor the podcast?
No, it was a conflict of interest.
No, that was early days before we had millions of listeners.
That was before we'd beaten Ellen in terms of numbers.
Listenership, yeah.
Yeah.
No, just audience.
Actually, one of the questions that came through as well,
I think it was Steph.
She said, would you ever do a meetup with Sydney Idiots?
Yeah, for sure.
I think we should maybe start talking about some podcast live shows
if you guys would be interested.
Don't act like that was your idea.
I thought maybe we should do something.
My promoter thinks that we should do it.
The guy that's organising my comedy shows.
He goes, oh, we should throw some podcast live shows in the mix.
Would you be down?
And I'm like, well, I would, but the others are employed.
So we'd have to figure that out.
But hey, we're not against the idea.
We could do a Saturday Sunday.
That would be so cool.
We could do a matinee.
Oh, matinees are great.
I love a matinee.
Get all the oldies.
We have a big old demographic.
I don't know what's more tragic, doing a matinee or an evening with Idjim.
Because an evening with is for losers too.
Why don't we just start with Idjim.
One night only.
Which I've always found so arrogant.
Yeah, but then it's like you can choose out of five different dates for the one night only.
Yeah, I know.
It's so stupid.
I'll perform for you, but only once.
Every Saturday night for a year.
I'm only doing one night only in Melbourne, so.
Sorry about that, Taylor.
Oh, yeah.
Babysitting some fucking kids instead.
Like, you're the only babysitter on earth.
Poor Taylor.
You really waited an hour and a half to go in on it.
It's not like I didn't give her notice.
No, I know.
All right, well, let's talk about the live shows potentially later.
We have a telethon to plan for Talk Back Tings Live, which will happen, I reckon, at 110.
That gives us 10 weeks to plan it.
I just think you can't call it a telethon, that's all.
No, it'll be Talk Back Tings Live.
Yeah, good.
We go live on TikTok, live on all the other ones, maybe the secret Facebook group.
If you're not part of it, by the way, Endurant Idiots on Facebook.
Search it. And you're going to figure out how to simulcast on all of them, are maybe the secret Facebook group. If you're not part of it, by the way, Endurant Idiots on Facebook. Search it.
And you're going to figure out how to simulcast on all of them, aren't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll be a telecast.
I'm going to unite the networks.
I've got Sarah Harris in one corner.
I've got Lee Lynn Chin on ABC.
Then we'll make them fight to the death.
Yep.
All right, we need to go.
I've got a lot to do.
It's been a great 100th episode.
