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

Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for. That's the line, I see it quite clearly. Get new glasses. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Cinder, one Mitch is clearly better than the other one. I can agree more. Now here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coombs.

Ah, hello, hello. Oh, hi Mitch, how have you been? Good to be back, episode 11. I see you've had abs. Ah, hello, hello. Oh, hi, Mitch. How have you been? Good to be back. Episode 11. I see you've had a busy day today, by the way. I saw you were interviewing Lauv earlier. Oh, yeah, Lauv from I'm So Tired.

Yes, I'm not that familiar with Lauv. That's a song that I would know of his, right? Yeah, we can't play it for five seconds. Yeah, no, it's fine. I'm so tired, I love songs. Yeah, yeah, I know the one. Yeah, good guy. Very young, cool, on the scene.

I think he might even be one of us, if you know what I mean. Is it possible you were trying to impress him? Because I just... Your interview, when you were recording the interview, it was playing in the office here at Kiss, and I just heard you say something, and I was like, Mitch, you are a wanker. The first thing I thought when I heard it was, oh, whatever.

Hold on, you guys could hear the chat? Yes, and as soon as you said it, I was like, I'm going to use this against him on the show. I put a grab over there on the screen. Is that what the unknown grab is? Yes, that's the one. Oh, fuck you. So this is what you said to love.

Jenna, you'll know when you hear it. Well, we spoke about mental health, so I hope you're not making fun of that. No, I would never. Okay, all right, here it is. How are you liking Australia? So good to have you. It's been amazing, man.

Yeah, everybody's really nice here. Like, very genuinely nice, which is really sweet. And really good coffee and really good food. How good's the coffee in Australia? I'm in and out of LA too. The coffee in LA, like watered down, dirt water. How do you figure you're in and out of LA?

How many times have you been to LA this year? Well, I've been once, but in and out. I had to come from New York, so I was in. Then I went back to New York, then Sydney. So transfers are counted. Over the course of how many weeks? Of two. I could say I'm in and out of so many places if it only takes going there once. I'm in and out of Adelaide.

I'm in and out of Brisbane. I'm in and out of LA myself. I was trying to sound cool and relating. You were trying to sound like you had a holiday house permanently set up over there. No one believed you. Surely Lauv doesn't believe you. I don't think he did, to be honest. I thought he'd invite me.

He's like, when are you in LA next? No. I'm like, oh, very soon because I'm in and out. You said it so casually like it was nothing. Oh, yeah, I'm in and out of LA too. You and me, brother. You know we've got that in common. Fuck off.

I don't listen to your non-existent interviews and pull them to pieces. You can me, brother. You know we've got that in common. I don't listen to your non-existent interviews and pull them to pieces. You can if you like. Actually, speaking of, I believe that's what we're doing this very show. Actually, yeah, that is something that I wanted to talk about today because we're going to be getting very deep later on, guys. Because I was a guest on another podcast

called Pride and I just assumed it was going to be light and fluffy banter like this show really. But they asked me the most heavy questions I've ever been asked. It was very confronting. I think I handled myself well. I guess you can be the judge. But I'm also going to be throwing those questions back at you.

Oh, so the questions you were asked in the revealing and overwhelming podcast you'll be asking me. Yes. Oh, you know I don't do good on the spot and I make things up like I just did to Lau. You'll be like, how do you deal with your depression? I'm like, well, because I'm in and out of Fiji, I often find my mental space quite cleansed. Okay, all right, I'm down for that. I'm an open book.

Just try not to embellish, okay? I do, I do. We'll get to that later on. Okay, fuck off. Also, it is, obviously, we kick off the show, if it's your first time listening, episode 11, a great time to sort of jump on in. I do like that you announce each episode number unnecessarily whenever we do it.

I like it. Episode 11. Or when you're at the deli and the numbers that don't mean anything pop up. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And she's like, who's next? I've never taken a number at the deli. Really?

Oh, I have, but then people push in. She doesn't. She. The lady at my local deli Really? Oh I have But then people push in She doesn't She The lady at my local deli Does not acknowledge the number system She just picks whoever she thinks is next I've never seen a deli so busy That it requires a number system

Oh you haven't been to Coles at Christmas time Those hams No I have not actually Really? No Oh that'd be a sight for sore eyes No I see you're clear of it But anyway

It's episode 11 Very exciting And if you're just listening Like I was saying We kick off the show with an Is It Just Me each. We both hide it from each other. We don't announce it. When you hear it, it's the first time I'm hearing it, the first time you're hearing

it. It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. And mine this week, you can go first. I'll give you a little tease for mine. It involves eggs. And we're going to have to get very creative. I can't wait. Might be some singing involved.

Jenna can help out. That sounds messy. Might need a rhyme or two. This sounds pathetic. And if we get it right, it could make us millions of dollars. All right, well, for now, here is my Is It Just Me. Is it just me or... Will you do any dumb old shit that your favourite celebrity tells you to do?

Oh, yeah, I think so. I'm so easily led by pop singers. I'm now starting to take unfounded health tips from pop singers. Oh, God, who? Katy Perry. I've actually got Jenna on board as well. We're doing a 15-day health challenge that she kicked off. Jenna kicked it off?

No, Katy Perry kicked it off. Oh! As if I'd listened to Jenna if she kicked off a 15-day health challenge. Jenna ate half an almond. Okay. Why? I don't know. I just do as I'm told.

My parents would argue otherwise, but when it comes to my favourite pop singers, I just bloody listen. This is so desperate. I know. This is what Katy Perry said on her Instagram. Good morning. I am so excited to kick off the 15 day

Bracket Apple Cider Vinegar Challenge. What does that mean? Well, it means a reset for your body. I personally use it every single morning. First thing when I wake up, I pour about two tablespoons into a glass and then I dilute it with water

and then I drink this whole glass first thing in the morning, before breakfast, before anything, and it gives me so much energy. The holiday's coming up. You have to give your body a little bit of a reset button and this is what Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar does for me. Was she in a bathroom? No, she was just in her kitchen.

But notice that she listed absolutely zero health benefits, absolutely zero evidence to support herself. She just said, you have to give your body a reset. And I was like, oh, my God, you're so right, Katie. Thank you so much. Listening to that, all I want to do is laugh. I cannot imagine being in the mindset of sitting at home, listening to that and going, you know what I need?

Some apple cider vinegar. Well, I did go and buy that exact brand. I've got it here with me. Would you like to try some? Oh, you did not. I did. Is that it? Yeah, this is it.

I've heard of this. My mum's done that, but probably from Michelle Bridges or an actual dietician, not flop witness producer, Katy Perry. How very dare you. How can she produce a diet if she can't even produce a good album? How can you be on a radio show when you're not even funny?

I love how she didn't attack this podcast. She attacked my livelihood. She knows it's funny. It's funny. If anyone knows it, it's Jenna. I've opened up the apple cider vinegar bottle. Jenna, have you stuck to the 15-day challenge? We're not done yet.

Yes, I have. There you go. I'm going to give you the exact recipe that Katie recommended. Two tablespoons in a glass of water. No, no. Two tablespoons and dilute it with water. How the fuck does she do that? You leave Katie alone.

She knows what's what. I actually like Katie and I felt for her in the whole Russell Brand thing. Okay. I'm just stirring it for you. Here you go. So this is two tablespoons? Two. I don't know.

I always get them confused. The bigger one. Tablespoon, yeah. Okay, good. Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar put into a glass. And I will tell you, it does make you feel really refreshed when you drink it first thing in the morning. I've had to force myself to drink it because as you take a sip right now, I should warn you that it tastes revolting. It's pungent.

This is vinegar. You can clean toilets with this. I know. It's full on. And Katy Perry told me to guzzle it, and I was just like, all right. What the fuck? This is how I got over Russell. I had two tablespoons with water.

Every morning, after a witness flopped, I had two tablespoons with water. If you drag witness again. I actually quite like Chain of the Rhythm. There you go. What do you think? I'm salivating. Oh, my God. I quite like Chain of the Rhythm. There you go. What do you think? Oh! I'm salivating. Oh my God!

You just dribbled everywhere. That was gross. I know! That's bad. You know, it's not bad, but my mouth instantly created a pint of saliva. Did you see that? It did. It just...

It just... And it was involuntary. It's like you didn't know It was all there Oh you've dribbled Oh Jenna where's the bib You know what I actually don't mind this Really

Let me do one more time See the taste is putrid One time when I was fasting Before a colonoscopy For Crohn's disease All I could drink was apple juice And so I'm kind of triggered by that So this reminds me

But I feel awesome afterwards If I have that first thing in the morning And when I drive to work, I feel very refreshed. But because you know how when you block your nose, you can't taste it as much? Which doesn't really work. I was doing that to force myself to drink it every morning because I was like, I can't let Katy Perry down. Even though I hate the taste. But one morning I swallowed it and I just vomited it straight back up into the kitchen.

Oh, really? It was not a pretty morning. It's probably not the best thing to put on your stomach empty first thing in the morning. Well, that's what Katie told me to do. Who do I love? Let me think. If someone told, like Jimmy Fallon, if Jimmy Fallon did an Insta story and was like, you know what you need to have every day in the morning?

Three tablespoons of peanut butter. I wouldn't do it because I know that that's not good for me. And you know this isn't good for you. It's doing nothing. It could be placebo, but I do feel more alert and refreshed after I have it. I started putting it in my green smoothie so that I don't have to drink it directly like that. Are you drinking it like that, Jenna?

Yes, I am. Are you putting two tablespoons? No. Oh, that's cheating. What do you put? I put too little. Fingernails worth. Jenna just measures it with her pinky finger like she's doing cocaine in the 80s.

I put two teaspoons. Oh, teaspoons. Jenna, that's weak, mate. It's a full. And Jenna's got those fancy. Come in here and have a sip of Mitch's. I've downed it. Oh.

I enjoyed it. Wow. Also, I'm downed it. Oh. I enjoyed it. Wow. Also, I'm like a sponge. I'm extremely dehydrated. So I think I just absorbed that straight up. I was not expecting you to be able to drink it. I thought that you'd find it foul. No, I like it.

It reminds me of the coffee you'd never like, because I'm in and out. Oh my God, I hate you so much. I actually am behind the fad, but I think it's so desperate that you guys listen to Katy Perry. Imagine that! How awful. Well, I've only got... Oh, how many days left is it, Jenna? Oh, not many.

I think we've got at least seven days left, Jenna. Also, I think I can feel it starting to repeat on me. It's making its way back up. Oh, yuck. That's what happened to me. Yeah, I can feel it screeching back up through my throat. Christ.

Like Katy Perry's Come Back To Us! That's right. With Harley's in Hawaii! Alright, let's go into my agent. Is it just me? Or? Actually, I haven't even

thought of the wording. Oh, good. Off to a flying start. No, I was going to cut this out. We can't cut this No, I was going to cut this out. We can't cut this out. You were going to cut it out. True.

You're like one of those husbands that walks around saying, oh, yes, we're pregnant. It's like, you're not doing any of the work. You're like, oh, we'll edit that out. Will you? Okay, is it just me or can you tell me what this advert is for? Okay. Jenna, you're listening too?

Mitch, you're listening. I saw it on National Australian Television. I recorded a program. I watched it back, saw this and had to pause it and re-watch. Tell me what this ad is advertising. There's one breakfast that's unbeatable for protein. It beats porridge. It beats muesli. It beats baked beans.

In fact, when it comes to protein, it beats all these breakfasts. What do you reckon it is quickly before we dive in? Is it the apple cider vinegar that Katy Perry was spruiking? No. Jenna? Some random granola or whatever. Oh, you think it's Kellogg's or something?

No. It's eggs, of course. Oh, okay. It's eggs, of course. That's not a brand. Oh, right. It's eggs. Oh, so they didn't have any particular brand of egg in mind.

It was just eggs. Yeah. I'll play it again. I didn't even notice that there was no brand mention. There's one breakfast that's unbeatable for protein. It beats porridge. It beats muesli. It beats baked beans.

In fact, when it comes to protein, it beats all these breakfasts. It's eggs, of course. Unbeatable. Of course, you fucking idiot! Oh my god. Is this like those random ads you see that are just like bananas? There's no brand of banana in particular. Yeah,

they had the campaign of like, snack on a banana instead of a candy bar, and it was a banana in a chocolate wrapper. Yes. So, like, how do these random objects get advertising budget? I had the same thought about that bloody get some pork on your fork campaign. Remember they were trying to get everyone to eat more pork and there was no brand. I was just like, who's paying for this?

Yeah. Imagine being the lobby behind eggplants. Oh, our image is ruined. The gays have taken it. Can you Google who? I don't even know what to Google. Who pays for the egg ad? Yeah, Google that, please. Okay, I'll. Who pays for the egg ad? Yeah, Google that, please.

Okay, I'll Google who pays for the egg ad. You're not Siri. That's so weird. Repeat the question back. Is it just meant to generate a rancor about how good are eggs? Literally. You're at the pub with your mate, Tim. Hey, Tim, how good are eggs?

They're unbeatable. I went through a period where I was having boiled eggs on toast for breakfast every morning. Really? For breakfast. I was having to boil them the night before and it just became too much work and then you really, if you have eggs every day for like six months, it does you do start to go off the taste. Yeah, was that on Katy Perry's story or did she post that one

to Twitter? I don't know how that happened. It certainly wasn't this egg ad that inspired it. Unbeatable! Unbeatable! Unbeatable. Probably voiced by Delta Goodrum. Delta, you've got a big gig. It's eggs. Janet, did you find out who pays for the egg ad?

Australian Eggs. Who's that? That's not a brand. Okay, so Australian Eggs is a member-owned not-for-profit company. Not-for-profit? Why are they putting out ads if they don't want us to buy the egg? How are they making money? Yes, but they work with the Australian government. Voila.

There you go. Ah. So after Fraser Anning was hitting their head with that egg by Egg Boy, they're like, shit, we need to work on our PR. Is this where we're at? We just start doing ads for just random objects that we already know exist? Yeah. Imagine doing an ad for hair.

Everyone's got it. It needs to be clean. Yeah, we're not asking you to spend money. We're just wanting to remind you that this thing exists. Well, that's what I thought we could do. Why don't we just, you know, throw shit against the wall and see if we can create some ads for some completely ridiculous things. Like why don't we do trees?

Oh, climb a tree. Oh, I'm not a copywriter. You'll be fine. There'd be some jingle music on here. I got it here. Type in cheesy. Okay. You dare me to do one?

Why don't I do one on... No, I don't want to do competing ones. Let's just write one together. Okay, all right. So the egg ad was saying that it's a better source of protein than other things. So we need... For our ad for trees, we need to slag off trees competitors so like what's the trees competitor bush oh okay we're writing an ad about how much better trees

are than bushes and other shrubs yeah yeah yeah okay but no swearing because it's got to air on national television so um trees are green those shrubs be mean that's good trees are green those i'll be the like really happy singer trees are green. I'll be the really happy singer. Trees are green. Those shrubs are mean. Plant one in your backyard. Backyard. Don't be a fat lad. That's fun. Plant them in your backyard. Don't be a fat lad.

Ooh, you can swap them around. Don't be a fat lad. Plant them in your backyard. Yeah, plant one in your backyard. Oh yeah. Plant one in your backyard. We can do another verse. Come on. That's just the jingle at the end. We need the copy.

Oh, shit. We're not writing a fucking song. That's just the bit at the end. I went straight to the jingle. No, we've got to have some copy. What about like, how annoying is it when you have to mow your lawn with trees? No mowing involved. Yeah, great.

No maintenance. Just let it blow. Good. Write that. Write that. Let it grow. I don't even remember what I said. Let, grow. No maintenance, just let it blow. Good, write that, write that. Let it grow. I don't even remember what I said. Let it blow and grow. Elephants have trunks.

You know what else? Everyone loves elephants and they have trunks. Guess what else do? Trees. It's a good tie-in. That's shit. Okay. All right.

Oh, I've got one, I've got one. Hey you, do you love puppies? What do puppies do? They bark. Guess who else has bark? Australian trees. Everyone loves puppies. And that can be the end.

Are you telling me you don't like puppies? That's a good time. Because then we can guilt people in because everyone loves puppies. Okay. All right. So we've got the elephant analogy, the puppy analogy, and then I'll say, plus, you don't even have to mow them. Just let them grow and blow.

And then we'll do the, don't be a fat lad, plant it in the backyard. Australian trees. You do the two analogies. I'll do the let it grow. Have you written my analogies for me? Oh, just ad-lib them, hun. They're yours. You said that elephants have trunks and dogs bark.

Okay, here we go. Let's do a rehearsal. Have you found the music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're yours. You said that elephants have trunks and dogs bark. Okay, here we go. Let's do a rehearsal. Have you found the music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll do a rehearsal. This is seriously running on really long. No, it's fine. This is good stuff.

We could sell this to trees. I don't know who would approach. Google the tree lobby dinner. Yeah, get their email. All right. What a Shrek alphabet. No, we didn't. It was the elephant and the dog analogy.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. This was your idea. Get a pen and Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. This was your idea. Get a pen and pad. Okay. All right. Elephants.

The elephant trunk analogy and the dog bark analogy. And then I'll jump in with the added benefit of the fact that you don't have to mow trees. We're just writing. This is terrible audio. We'll edit it, I i guess i'll do that why are you writing it word for word is elephant analogy as a dot point not enough for you oh i don't know about it um who doesn't like puppies um what a disaster are you nervous or something like i've just told you twice what you need to do. Your elephant analogy and your fucking dog analogy.

But I want to get it word for word. I could do it. I have studied theatre. Thank you. I don't know. All right. I'm going to start it. So I'm going to start the show off.

Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Do we have other options for music? It sounds like a jazz bar. Oh, it builds. Yeah, I on, hang on. Do we have other options for music? It sounds like a jazz bar. Oh, it builds. Yeah, I don't like that. It sounds like some sort of song from Harry Styles. All right.

What's this? Oh, you can picture the backyard. Yeah. Puppies! Don't be a fat lug. Plant one in the backyard. Oh, I like that. That's our jingle.

Hold on, hold on. I've got one more. I've got one more option. Wait there, wait there. Okay. Nah, plant one in the backyard. Oh, I like that. That's our jingle. Hold on, hold on. I got one more. I got one more option. Wait there, wait there. Okay. Nah. Other one. All right.

All right. So you kick it off with your things. What are we doing? Here we go. What is this joke? This is our commercial for trees. Here we go. Elephants have trunks.

You know what else have trunks? Trees. Puppies have a cute little bark. You know what else has bark? Trees. Are you saying you don't like puppies? And what do you know? You don't even have to mow.

Just let it grow and blow. Plant one today. Don't be... No! It ended! We got this. Let's do it. I left too much space between mine. We were so close. We got this. Ready? Here we are. Count you in. Three, two, and one.

Two. Sorry. Don't waste time! Sorry, okay. Start again. Start it again. Okay, sorry. Elephants have trunks. You know what else have trunks? Trees.

Puppies. They love to bark. You know what else has bark? Trees. Are you telling me you don't like puppies? And what do you know? You don't even have to mow. Just let them grow and blow.

Plant a tree today. Don't be a fat lad. Plant one in the backyard. Australian trees. Buy one now at your local Flower Power. No, what the fuck? There's not meant to be a brand attached. Why did you say Flower Power?

No! It's meant to just be generating awareness for trees. Do I have to do this again? Why do you keep making up credit lines? This is an issue for you. Stick to the brief. All right, should we move on? Otherwise, it was perfect.

I thought that was great. Fucking flower power. Should we try one more? No. That's good. When we were in sync at the end there, that's all Katy Perry needed on Witness, and she would have had a bloody...

Hey, hey, hey, you shut your mouth. Should we do one more? I think that's enough. Can we do one more commercial? No, we just spent like 14 minutes on trees. Okay, I just thought we could add a lib one. All right, go on. Add lib one.

All right. What are you going to... Okay, let's pick a random item, Jenna, for him to generate awareness around with no brand attached. What about just... Zucchinis. No, not zucchinis. What about...

Ooh. What about just hopscotch? The benefits of doing hopscotch. No, skipping ropes. Okay, okay. All right, all right. Which one do we like out of those? Long skipping ropes.

Long skipping ropes? The ones where it's more than one person who gets to go in the middle. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Can you do an ad for group skipping? Okay. All right, okay. All right, here we go.

All right. Okay, alright, okay, alright, here we go Tired of Pilates? Over your tennis club? Want more friends than just your chess group? Have you thought of skipping? Gone are the days of tandem rope You and your friend, the old trope Grab a pal, two, maybe four

Don't worry if you fall on the floor Skipping is fun, maybe wear knee pads It is cool, even a little rads It's skipping in a group It's skipping with some pals Aussie skipping, fun, free, in the sun, with you and me. That was a good ad. That was better than the tree one, actually.

Why did you need my help? I knew I was writing it word for word. Yeah, you're going, oh, elephant. You should follow these idiots online. Search Couple of Mitches. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Now, Mitch, I have a bit of a confession to make. Oh, yeah?

I cheated on you recently. Pardon? I cheated on you with another podcast. Oh, did you go back to that fucking not my cup of coffee or whatever the shit it was? Not my instant Macona. Not my Nescafe Gold. That's what my grandma drinks. It's rash. Not my Tim Robbins Roast. Not my instant Macona. No. Not my Nescafe Gold. That's what my grandma drinks. It's rash.

Not my Tim Robbins Roast. Not my Lipton. Not my bushels. Oh, I like bushels. Bushels is my favourite. I like Madura. Bushels extra strong. Oh, really?

I can't have a caffeine. It plays with my heart. I get palpitations. Really? Yeah. I've got a very weak heart. From bushels? No, from just caffeine in general. Oh, so you can't have coffee? No, I've got a very weak heart. From bushels? No, from just caffeine in general.

Oh, so you can't have coffee? No, I have a coffee. Have you tried Katy Perry's Brag Apple Cider Vinegar Challenge? It'll wake you up and make you feel refreshed, but no heart palpitations. No, actually. It just erodes your insides from the acid, but whatever. I feel like I'm rotting. Anyway, yeah, sorry, you cheated on me.

Yeah, see, look, I was recently invited to be a guest on the Pride podcast. It's called Pride if you search it. Is it the Pride podcast? Like what gay decided that they were the Pride podcast? I don't know. I didn't ask that question. But when you hear Pride podcast, you think like, you know, I don't know. Sunshine lollipops.

Pretty much, yeah. You think like vivacious, bubbly and fun. Yeah. Oh, my God. It think like vivacious, bubbly and fun. Yeah. Oh my God. It was like I was on 60 Minutes. The line of questioning that I copped was so heavy. I think I coped well and I liked the experience, but oh my God, it's not what I'm used to.

Especially this podcast. It's like absolute bullshit. We were just singing about trees. There's no hard-hitting journalism on this show. Absolutely none. How did it come about? Did they reach out to you? Yes, the host of Pride, Levi Chambers,

he and I followed each other on Instagram for ages. And he just reached out and I was like, sure, I can do that. He did a very good job at making me sound way more interesting than I actually am. What the fuck am I, a chopped liver? Why did he get you? Can you just let me have my moment? I mean, I wasn't invited.

No, you weren't. Well, is this for your other accolades, is it? Well, I do more than just this podcast. Very true. No offence. I did mention you and this show, though. Did you? Yes, yes.

Do I get to hear it? Well, here's the thing. Because it was such a long, lengthy interview, and I've never had to speak about myself for such a long period of time, I can't play the whole thing here. Obviously, I want people to go and actually listen to it, but I brought a couple of talking points that we covered on the podcast. Oh, yeah, it says it here.

And it's like a little menu. I'll let you choose which bits you want to hear, but you only get to choose one. I can have one? Yes, and remember, whatever grab you listen to, I'm going to hit you with that same question. One of them was, what is the lowest low of your life? Oh, shit.

Not even a low. And I thought about it, and I was like, oh, God. Starting that podcast with Mitchell Chewy. Okay, well, there's four. I think singing about trees is a new low today. That was fun, and you both enjoyed it. We'll have to send that to the tree lobby. Also, the Pride podcast is very much like the egg thing.

Like, who is funding the Pride podcast? Yeah, their Instagram handle is at Pride. That's not allowed. You can't do that. Okay, well, you've got Talking About the Idjim podcast. I'm assuming that's where my mention is. Yeah, but are you going to blow your load on that? Well, yeah.

If you spoke about me, I want to bloody hear it. Read out the others that you've got. Okay, so grab one is talking about the Idrin podcast, this podcast. Grab two is about coming out. Oh, God, that'll be heavy. Coming out on the sheep farm is how they spoke about it. Oh, is he American? Yeah, he's in LA.

You probably know him. In and out. Yeah, I'm probably friends with him. Rubbish. Okay, how ASD affects love life is grab three. What's ASD? Autism Spectrum Disorder. Okay.

Grab four is the lowest low. Yeah, that's what I mentioned. I feel like we've discussed it. We're close friends, so we would have spoken about this over at Makona. Which one? Your lowest low. I feel like I know your lowest low. I called you the night of my lowest low and you dodged the call.

Did I really? Yes. And then you felt so bad the next day when I told you. I don't even remember. Did I really? What was I doing? Oh, fuck knows. A face mask or some rubbish?

Oh my God, I was having the highest high of my life. Fuck you, I was low. Well, I don't want to bring the show down. Or you don't want to face your own guilt. I know what your love is slow is and I won't talk about it now i spoke about it on that podcast it's fine okay why don't we why don't we do can i really only have one like we've i can play two you're gonna have to go listen to the pride podcast like everyone else if you don't if you want to hear the rest of it all right well you're only allowed one all right well then i just want to hear the rest of it. All right. Well, you're only lab one.

All right. Well, then I just want to hear my feature. I'd like to hear what I was spoken about. You are so vain. I do. I'm sure you'll say something nice about me. Thank you, Jenna. I'm ready to hear. I've locked it in.

I've chosen grab number one. All right. Okay, here we go. I'm Levi Chambers, and this is Pride. I used to be, for want of a better term, a YouTuber. I never really loved being on camera. I still really don't. I think that's why I'm focusing mostly on podcasts and stuff because I've got like high

functioning autism spectrum disorder. Eye contact doesn't bode overly well for me. So sitting at a camera and just like making direct eye contact to it, like a lot of YouTubers do, it just never felt natural, which is why I love doing podcasts and stuff because I can just rely on my voice to express what I'm trying to express. And there's no risk of being misread because I'm fidgeting or, you know, my body language suggests that I'm uncomfortable. It's all just in the voice, which I think is awesome. Mitchell started a podcast from his dorm room with two friends in November, 2016. Not My Cup of Tea is in the archive. Definitely still go listen,

but the pod he's currently co-hosting is brand new. It's called Is It Just Me? And I co-host it with another guy also called Mitch. We've only been around for a month now, but yeah, we're pretty chuffed. We got 10,000 listens in that first month. So yeah, it's a lot of fun working with the other Mitch. When we come back, the joys of sheep farming and coming out in the Australian outback. What the fuck? Yeah, that was it. You got my name out and that's about it. And then I said, it's a lot of fun working with the other Mitch. And then there was a whole

segment about Groundskeeper Journal. What the fuck? I feel like you spoke more about me, but he cut it. No. What did you want me to say? It was an interview about me. You could have spoken about the dynamic and how we have fun and the sexual palpability. Oh, what? What? You could have.

God, that imp speaking is jarring. I can feel that apple cider vinegar coming up. I'm going to vomit again. You're like, yeah, so this happened. He's like, next week on, bridegroom guest. What is going on? Do you understand the style of interview that we're dealing with now? You know what?

I want another one. I've got one here. I told you you'd get one. Don't be greedy. I want to know about how ASD affects life. Affects life? Love life. The lowest low, I just feel like that probably was coming out,

so you're going to get two out of one. The ASD one, you probably don't have much to add, but it does have – no, no, I won't say that. I was going to say it has reference to a sexual experience, but that sounds like it's clickbaity because it's really not that interesting. Oh. So I was only diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder this year it's seriously jarring to go from this show to that i thought you'd carded the

wrong audio for a second there deep i fucking it's it stands out like a sore thumb doesn't it sounds like my heart will go on at the start of that right if we if we play this you have to have like a dnm on the back all right promise all right here we go hold on you have to have a D&M on the back, all right? Promise. All right. Here we go. Hold on. We need to set the serious tone so it's not so jarring. Yeah, okay, sure. Okay, guys. Here we are back. The Is It Just Me podcast.

You leave Levi alone. So we're here on the Is It Just Me podcast. Just play. Okay, sorry. It was Mitchell's grab on ASD affecting Lofi from the Pride podcast. That was actually quite a relief getting diagnosed with that because I made a lot more sense to myself because there were all these things that I used to think were flaws that I had. Now I've got this diagnosis and so now I don't really put pressure on myself to not show those traits. Do you know what I mean?

So has that affected relationships in terms of like dating? you know what I mean? So has that affected relationships in terms of like dating? Yeah, totally. Because so much of dating is, it goes against everything that people with autism struggle with, you know, nonverbal communication. Like I mentioned, eye contact, like that is one of the key things to trying to tell someone that you're attracted to them. It's just making the right amount of eye contact. So there's been a couple of times in the past when people have said to me, hey, I don't know if you picked up on this last night, but like, I was trying to fuck you and you just weren't reciprocating. And I was like, oh, I didn't know. Like you weren't, you didn't tell me that. I've just had to start explaining to people when I'm dating them. This happened quite recently with someone that I was seeing, not seeing them anymore.

But I just said, can you just be as literal as possible? Like, if you're trying to crack on to me, I don't want you to say things like, hey, should we close the door? Because I'm just going to say, no, there's a nice breeze. I like the breeze. No, don't close the door. So, if you're trying to crack on, you're just going to have to be super literal. Do you know what I'm saying? All the body language and those sorts of cues that you would usually use to indicate that you're attracted to someone, they might go completely unnoticed by me. Can you explain to me what crack on means? I'm an American, so I don't know. I'm stupid.

Oh, that means, like, make a move, like flirting, basically. Okay. You speak very well. I'm not going to come off the back of that and make a joke. Oh, you think? Thank you. That's good. Got a breeze during sex.

That's definitely what I'm into. They seriously, like, they caught me so off guard, these questions. And I'm like, fuck, I don't know how to articulate that. Yeah, they're very intense questions. Did you stumble and mumble? No. Well, there's plenty. You're very good on the spot.

Thanks. Interesting. So now you have to ask me the same question, right? Well, I can't really say. Oh, how has autism spectrum disorder affected your love life? Yeah, true. Well, you can ask me any question. Open slather.

How about that? How about I open the floodgates? Jenna, you too, if you really want. What about the lowest low question? I want to hear your answer to that. That's hard. Even if it's not that interesting, what springs to mind when I say, hey, what's the lowest low of your life?

See, I don't know. I think like, I think like in the year, I think in the year leading up to coming out was probably the hardest for me because I was like, oh, well, I'm going to have to face it now. And I've sort of like sort of surfed this like line of privilege. I'm like, oh, yeah, I've still been able to get away with like being the straight white guy. And I didn't realize how much I was like leaning on that. You know what I mean? And how much I use that and the privilege that comes with that role that I did not even understand or not even realize. You know what I mean?

Like I never once in that mindset, which I genuinely believe, like I genuinely believed I was straight for ages. And I genuinely remember thinking, well, my life is going to change. My career is going to change. And the things that I was worried about have not come to fruition. It's little things that have surprised me. Like friends and how people treat me and how adults. I'm from the Shire, which if you're an international listener,

it's a very conservative, white, a lot of old money, like really, really wealthy. So it's not a good place if you're not at all, you know. Well, how old were you when you had the the realization and then how long did it take you to come out oh i don't know i think i think i genuinely realized like 18 19 um which is quite recently though yeah but like that was like oh i think this is going to be a thing and then i'm very good at just being like compartmentalizing and being like see ya let's lock that up and let's throw it away. It just has always worked and it did work.

And then like it sounds corny but I was always so busy and so like air quotes, like successful or doing things. Right. Like school captain in primary school, high school, like tour Australia doing drama, like the face, it's like which was all a fucking telltale sign. What would have happened if you would come out in high school? I would have been the token, which is awful, but I would have just become, what would have happened if you would come out in high school i would have

been the token which is awful but i would have just become that would have become my identity oh i don't think that's no where i haven't become your identity now no i know but if i had in high school it would i wouldn't have wanted that but it would have been there was one poor guy in my high school who came out and he was so horrifically bullied and pushed into a corner of whatever I'm one of the gay kid at school to be. He left. He was like so extremely, extremely like, you know, bullied. So he had to leave. So I just knew, I think in my head, I was like, oh no, this isn't going to happen for

me. The Shire sounds like a fucked place. Yeah. Look, I love the Shire for so many reasons, but you know, it's a little bit backwards in some ways. Everyone worries about me being gay in the country. It was nothing compared to that. It's so funny how that works.

I honestly don't know how that is even a thing. But, like, even family in the Shire, it's generations that grow up and live in the Shire, and they're white, they've all got money, they are all very, very privileged, and bless them, they don't even know what they're doing. Jenna, that's the closest we're ever going to come to Mitch admitting that he's rich. We always make jokes about him being rich. He goes, I'm not. He just goes, my family, they don't even know what they're doing. Jenna, that's the closest we're ever going to come to Mitch admitting that he's rich. We always make jokes about him being rich.

He goes, I'm not. He just goes, my family, they've all got money. I didn't say that in front of the show. Yes, you did. Jenna says, you, I've dropped you off at your house. Your butler picked you up from the car. Oh, well, it wouldn't have been me. Jeeves is very nice.

Oh, I'm sure. But they just are. So, yeah, it took me a while and then I moved to New York and then I made myself so busy that I had to put it off. And that only happened a year ago. Actually, this is probably the anniversary coming up to December. You've just had your one year anniversary with your partner. I have.

I'm sure you came out before that. Oh my God, you didn't. No, I didn't. You dated him in secret. I forgot. It was like days of our fucking lives. It was. You knew.

I think Jenna knew. No, you knew. A lot of my. I forgot. It was like days of our fucking lives. It was. You knew. Yeah. I think Jen and you knew. You knew. Yes. A lot of my close friends knew. It's so funny. This is actually the tipping point. So I was in the Shire.

I had all my Shire friends and family from high school, all a very similar bubble, similar group of people. If we were playing Guess Who, they'd all be the same people, you know what I mean? Same faces. I also had my theatre friends because I studied theatre and studied it at a state level. So if you're pushed into that circle, like there was a trans girl who I studied with. There were, I think, maybe six guys in the cast, four of which were gay, not including myself.

So there's five. There was one straight guy. So my eyes were opened and I remember going in and I had all this internalised homophobia. I'm like, who are these people? They're so weird. This girl's got pink hair. She's wearing Doc Martens.

What the hell? That's just what I was raised on. And then I more and more was integrating with those people. And I'm like, oh my God, I love these people. These are like my type of people. They're funny. We had the same sense of humor. We got the same jokes.

We had the same interests. We looked the same. We laughed at the same things. And then I'd go back to the Shire and I'm like, oh, this is weird. There was like a definite shift. Get out of the Shire bubble. It laughed at the same things. And then I'd go back to the Shire and I'm like, oh, this is weird. There was like a definite shift. Get out of the Shire bubble. It sounds revulsion. Totally.

But no, people love it. People love it. My family love it. Like a lot of people who were there really enjoy it. And I take Hayden, my partner, back and like it's so good. We sit at the beach. People love it. But we're very much the couple.

Like, you know what I mean? I don't think you are. Who says that you're the couple? I think you've jumped to a conclusion there. No, what do you mean? No, like in Cronulla, everyone's like, oh, look, this two guy is holding hands. Who's ever said that? You can feel it.

You can tell. Nah, you're imagining that. You're paranoid. Maybe I am. Maybe it's because you're still fresh because that's not true. Really? Nah. Well, let's go to Cronulla and let's do a test and let's walk hand in hand.

I'd rather not. Why? You need a glove. Very moist. I'm perspiring as we speak. Revolting. Didn't we do that last week? My head is like a wet piece of cheese. I can't remember.

Can I tell you, your way of coming out to me was so weird. He like attacked me, Jenna. I did not attack you. He was like, I can't remember the topic of conversation. And he goes, oh, because, you know, because I'm, you know. And I was like, no, what? When did I say that? And he goes, oh, you know. And I was like, what do I know? That I'm, you know, and I was like, no, what? When did I say that? And he goes, oh, you know. And I was like, what do I know?

That I'm, you know, and I'm like, no, I don't. What are you talking about? And you're like, oh, you know that I'm gay. I was like, I didn't know that. And you're like, yes, you did. Don't pretend you didn't. I was like, wow, I'm being shouted at for doing absolutely nothing. No, that didn't happen because I messaged you on Facebook.

I know, that was the time. You're picking up the time. It's called embellishing, mate. Go back to LA. Oh, I'm in and out. Well, that's my story. It was fine. My family are great.

They're amazing. Everything's good. They're rich. They're not rich. I'm actually very, very lucky. And the thing is, I'm like, you know, shooting shit on the Shire. It's actually a great place to live and I'm very lucky to live there. But, you know, that was just my journey

and that's why I personally was like putting things off. But everything's great now. And it wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be. Definitely not. Everything is so much better. The cliches, what is it? It gets better. Yeah.

It really does. Like it really does. You just have to find your tribe. You have to find the same, the people that have common interests, people who have commonality. Like that's how we became friends. And those people are not necessarily fellow queers or fellow straights, you know? No, definitely not.

But the people that, like, you know what? I always say, if you can make me laugh, like, you've got a friend for life. Like, I just love that. You know what I mean? And I feel like it's true for a lot of things, you know? Yeah, for sure. If we have a lot of young, gay and straight listeners listening to this, you can always just message us if you're struggling.

They can message you, right? Oh, for sure, if they'd like to. You can just message us if you're struggling. They can message you, right? Oh, for sure, if they'd like to. You can message me. Happens from time to time. Don't message Jenna. Very homophobic. Excuse me? You know what those nails are for?

They're to gouge the face of twinks. Anyway, look, all of these things that I spoke about, including the ones we have not played here, The Lowest Low, plus I talked about Living on the Farm, my videos for YouTube and the Studio 10 stuff. All that is over on the Pride podcast. Fantastic. Just search Pride.

And what's the fucking episode name? Let me look. Go and find it. They gave it some really, oh, like I said, they're very skilled at making me sound like I'm a bigger deal than I actually am. Can I read it out? I want to read it out in the American voice. Don't take the piss out of Levi.

Sorry. Here we go. Pride by Straw Hut Media. It says, coming out in the outback with Mitchell Coombs. Don't take the piss out of Levi. Sorry. Here we go. Pride by Straw Hut Media. It says, coming out in the outback with Mitchell Coombs. And then it says, Mitchell Coombs, once a YouTuber, is now a successful radio and podcast producer living and working in Sydney. I know, that's a stretch.

You suck my ass, Jenna. That really is a stretch, though. We talk about radio autism, toenail polish, sheep farming and more. What's radio autism? What. What's radio autism? What? What's radio autism? Radio, comma, autism, comma, toenail polish. No comma. That's two things.

Why do you talk about toenail polish? You're going to have to listen to the Pride podcast, hun. I can't wait. Remember the homophobic abuse I got on the bus? Oh, I do. That was a good video. That's one of my favourite Mitch Coombs videos. You and seven million others, darling.

You know, I threken. I threken. Do you? I threken. 31065, do you threken? I was going to say, I reckon I have a video that's got more views than yours. Yeah, right. Do you reckon?

I threken. I've had one that's had 88 million. Oh, was that the Taylor Swift one? Yeah, but it wasn't really me. Oh, how annoying, though, that you got the exposure, but it wasn't on your own social media. I know. It was on Ladbible.

That's the only reason I've got followers on Instagram, because I messaged Ladbible and totally some meme page that put it up, and I messaged them off Kiss. And I was like, back when, you know, Oscar used to work for us. I'm like, they didn't tag us. He DM'd them. And I'm like, can you tag Mitch Turi? And can you tag the radio station?

And they tagged us. And I got all these followers. And they've been steadily declining since. Now I know where they came from. Yeah, yeah. So this video, you took a Taylor Swift impersonator out and about sitting in to watch people freak out. It's on the Kiss YouTube channel, I think. We should put it on.

Is it just me? It's funny. Should we just? With all that Scooter Braun drama? How about you do it? I wouldn't know how. You don't know how to upload to Instagram? Jenna, send it to me on WeTransfer it on. Is it just me? It's funny. Should we just? With all that Scooter Braun drama. How about you do it? I wouldn't know how. You don't know how to upload to Instagram. Jenna, send it to me on WeTransfer, please.

I'll put it on a floppy disk. Thank you. That's some tech I can get around. All right, let's get out of here. Yes, we should. Thanks for joining us for another show, guys. Don't forget to leave a review. I've written one.

Yeah. Can I actually, have you read the latest ones? No, I haven't. Oh, go and read some out quickly because I love to shout out the reviewers. Of course. My go-to podcast when quickly because I love to shout out the reviewers. Of course. My go-to podcast when I'm not in the mood for true crime. Very different.

Oh, Jen is here. There's an overlap. True. And want something lighthearted and a bit of a laugh. Well, which actually happens. Laughing like a crazy person while on the train or on a walk. Love it, guys. Keep it up.

I love that she said that she does it on a train because Because I've always wondered where people are when they're listening. In fact, there you go. Here's the challenge. If you're listening and you have the Apple Podcast app and you haven't left us a review yet, let us know where you listen and what you do. Because that was one of my... This sounds weird. When we got rid of Not My Cup of Tea, when we put it in the archives, people started messaging us being like,

Oh my God, I can't believe you're leaving. The quickest way to learn that you have podcast listeners is to cancel it, by the way. They all came out of the woodwork then. Really? Yeah. They were like, oh, I listen to it when I'm driving on Monday. My Monday commute won't be the same.

Oh, I listen to it when I'm gardening. Oh, I listen to it when my kids are at daycare because I like the inappropriateness of it and I can't listen in front of them. Yeah, I really liked hearing where people listen. So if you haven't left a review, fucking do it, you lady bastard. All right, we need to get out of here. We're back next week for episode 12.

Why do you keep saying the numbers? You don't need to. Big celeb on the show. What? I just said that to hold myself accountable now, so we have to have one. Last week I asked for Vanessa Amorosi. Yeah, sit tight. What the fuck? Can we for Vanessa Amorosi. Yeah, sit tight. What the fuck?

Can we bring Vanessa Amorosi in and feed her cabinosi? I think that would be so funny. Again, with the use of the word we, you are more than welcome to organise that. Would you be behind it, though? Would you back it? Yeah, it's as if I'd say, get out! It's Vanessa Amorosi. Please do get her in.

I actually do really like her new album. I'll try. She's good. Next week, episode 12, we'll be back. We'll see you then. Jenna, Mitch, Mitch, we'll be there. Awesome. We'll catch you then, guys.

Thanks for listening. Bye. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. All right. It's our secret segment, AD Debrief. Oh, Jenna. Oh, God, something's going on.

Jenna. Well, thank God the show's over. Can you come in the studio, please? Bring your laptop, please. ADD Brief is where I unleash my diagnosed ADD, where we just don't stay on track. Nothing's organised in this segment, which is why we keep it a secret.

We're a little bit ashamed. You know what I've noticed? You always announce ADD Brief, and I always announce the start of the show. I always go, hi, we're back, and you always go, this is our secret segment. always announce a D debrief and I always announce the start of the show. I always go, hi, we're back. And you always go, this is our secret segment. I don't think you've ever said hi at the top of the show. And I don't think I've ever said hi at the end of the show.

Isn't that interesting? Do you remember that one time where we started the show and I just thought we had this understanding that you go first. Yeah. Actually, can we do a little mock? Don't tell everyone. Well, we ended up cutting it out and redoing the opener because it was shit. But this is literally what happened.

I'm going to fast forward. So just bear with me for a sec. Oh. That's definitely not our opener. That's my night show for my nice radio show here at KISS. You waiting for your co-host to talk on your night show. Same result. Silence.

No, I got the cleaners on the other night. Did you? I think they reported me to HR. Release yourself. Now, here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coombs. Are you going to go? I thought you were going. When do I ever go?

You always talk first. I thought if you just heard one millisecond of silence, you'd speak. No, I was waiting for you to go. That happened and we fought for a month. Yeah. That was horrendous. We haven't spoken until today. Oh, God.

Hold on. That's a live tweet. haven't spoken until today. Oh, God. Hold on. That's a live tweet. Haven't even turned everything on, guys, just in case you're listening for the first time. You can live tweet the show. Just tweet us at couple of Mitches and we'll read it out on the air. Oh, my God. This is exactly. Tenny Plibersex listening.

That's so nice. Thank you, Tenny. You know, I went to Steve Martin and Steve Short last week, two of my favorite comedians of all time. You know, Pink Panther, Three Amigos. Oh, yeah, yeah, nice. Thank you, Tanya. I went to Steve Martin and Steve Short last week, two of my favourite comedians of all time. You know, Pink Panther, Three Amigos. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I went there and I was walking up the elevator and guess who was in front of me?

Who? Tanya Plibersek. Oh, really? Yeah, she's like one of the labour leaders in this country. She'll be Prime Minister one day. And she was there and someone came up to her and said, and I said, oh, my God, Hayden, that's Tanya Plibersek. I don't know who that is.

I don't care. And then some guy ran up and was like, can I get a selfie, Tanya? And he's like, whoa, who is she now? Tanya Plibersek. I don't know who that is. I don't care. And then some guy ran up and was like, can I get a selfie, Tanya? And he's like, whoa, who is she now? I'm like, I love how in his head a selfie is like currency for fame. I'm like, you are such a child. You know, I follow someone on Twitter and to this day, I have no idea how I ended up following them.

Yeah. But it's this old woman and her entire Twitter presence is just being a fangirl of Tanya Plibersek and Samantha Armitage. She just tweets both of them all day every day. What a weird cross-section. She's just tweeted now. Her entire Twitter presence is just being a fangirl of Tanya Plibersek and Samantha Armitage. She just tweets both of them all day every day. What a weird cross-section. She's just tweeted now. She says, love the show, Tanya.

She thinks you're Tanya Mitch. I don't know how I ended up following her. Her name's Marianne. Oh my! Why am I following her? This is her... What's her latest tweet? This is her bio. Okay, okay.

I was born in Melbourne in 1951. I have one sister, Kathy. My interests include writing, computers, and Sunrise is my favourite TV show. Isn't that funny? I had a school teacher like that, Mrs Moon. I remember I got school captain, landslide victory, and I got a – you know what I did for my speech? It was very funny.

No one's asking, but I'll tell you. So I had one sheet of paper for my speech. Maybe someone's tweeting in asking for it. You don't know. Is anyone tweeting? Oh, sorry. I had one sheet of paper for my speech. Maybe someone's tweeting in asking for it. You don't know. Is anyone tweeting? Oh, sorry. I had the volume down. Is anyone tweeting in asking for me to talk about my speech?

No, no one cares. Oh, it was down. So yes, of course they are. Oh, God. Oh, my. Oh, God. Yeah, they're all replying. Well, they're all replying, we don't care.

They're all saying me, me, me, me, me. Sorry, my YouFood's again. Once again, if you're new to ADD Brief, this is why we keep it a secret, because Mitch goes rogue on the sound effects, and it's entertaining to one person, that's you. I'm not going to say rogue, but, you know, people love it. Tell us the story of your bloody school. Well, I got up, and I was the pick to win, so said principal,

and I gave my speech on A4 piece of paper. Unconventional, but here's why. I had 50 pieces of paper all stapled together in the bottom corners. And I got up and my mum went, hi, I'm Mitch Chee. And I don't want to sit here and bore you with all the reasons why I should be school captain. So let me tell you a little about me. And then let go. And rolled down the staircase staircase down the middle of the

hall past the kindergarten as they were screaming match match match all the kids at the back vote for him someone's like yeah we love you man the teacher was like we can't fuck it we love you and i was like i can't say that but okay then i was like yeah i'm like schools out and then i didn't even have to mention coke and the Bubblers and I was voted in. Landslide victory. Nice. One teacher that wasn't involved. It's been done a million times before, mind you,

but I'm glad you didn't use toilet paper. You did the staple bits of paper. That's innovative. Who did toilet paper? Everyone. I've never heard that. Literally everyone ever. Like every 21st speech ever.

Oh, I don't have many embarrassing stories to tell about my friend here, but, and then they, you know. I've seen that trick done a bunch of times. And then everyone's like, so clever. Yeah, that was the vibe I was going for. Okay, that's a shame. Mrs. Moon, however, said to me, I got up and I was announced as the winner. I was like, yeah, I waved my hands like this because my parents were at the back.

Oh, who do you think you are? So not like a gracious, oh, thank you, everyone. There was an assassination attempt on my life. Well, so I thought. It was just a bird crowing, but I thought it was a gunshot. Mrs Moon pulled me aside and she went, Mitchell? Can I talk to you? Yeah, she pulled me over.

She was like, as the elected leader of this school, it is gravely inappropriate that you wave your hands in a flailing motion above your head on the stage in front of K-6, all the mothers, the full canteen committee, everyone. You have embarrassed yourself and you've embarrassed SHPS, Sylvania Heights Primary School. And she said you were not to do that again. And I didn't. I'm not saying I agree, but I'm not saying I disagree because I just paid you out for doing that. Yeah, true.

Like you walked up there like you just bloody won a V8 supercar match. You know how they pop champagne unnecessarily? The Nobel Peace Prize. It's the big. Sorry about that. Do V8 supercars have matches? I just said you won a V8 match. I'm pretty sure it's a race.

I don't think it's a match. Yeah, a tournament. A dressage competition. A rally. Oh, it is a rally. I think you're right. No, that's not the V8s. That's not the V8s.

Really? That's a rally, yeah. Interesting. Hold on one sec. I've never done this before, but we get Twitter and we can do phone calls. You've got mail. We just got an email. Oh, okay, an email.

Holy crap, we just got mail. Did we? Yeah. Who from? Who's it from? Cristiano Ronaldo, the soccer player. player he says i love the show open up the hotline though oh the hot did i not open the hotline oh my god hold on hold on wait there i'm just getting it up we're waiting I'm trying to. You're just pressing the on button on the microphone.

No, I'm not doing that. I would never do that. All right. Phone lines are... Officially... Open. What are the numbers? Let's spin the wheel, team.

All right. I could just spin the actual wheel. Oh, we do have an actual wheel there. And you've won a, oh, my God, a dinner with Jenna. Jenna's choice. She'll probably choose dinte fun, considering she likes to be, you know, cultured. But she'll just choose the fried rice because dumplings hurt her tummy. It's the most Jenna thing ever. I don't like fried rice.

Jenna will be on a date. Hey, you want to get a green tea? No. This could be a good one. This could be a new thing. Forget the hotline and all that shit you keep doing. Mitch comes up and just thinks of random chocolate wheel prizes on the spot. Oh, yeah, we could do that.

So you have to do the sound effect and then that wind of music and you just make up the prize every time. Okay, hold on. Here we go. Let me find it. All right. Here we go. I love coordinating memes.

Yes. Hold on. I could even do this. Wait there. Here we go. Let me find it. All right. I love coordinating memes. Yes. Hold on. I could even do this. Wait there. Just you wait. Just do it. I don't know.

Okay. So you were a winner last week, Kathy, right? Yeah, it was so amazing. It was incredible. Thank you. That's so nice. That's really beautiful. All right, Kathy, let's spin that wheel. Win you a prize's so nice. That's really beautiful. All right, Cathy, let's spin that wheel, win you a prize.

Spin that wheel. Here we go. What have you won? And you've won, oh, my God. You've won Homemade Crockery by Mitchell's Mum. That's phenomenal. What has she made in there? A tea towel rack made out of unique bamboo. You've got a gel bead

eye mask to fall asleep and it's been used. Oh my god. Night socks. And they've got toes holes in them too. That's lovely. Oh, we've got a tweet coming in. Shit rising.

So, it's terrible. It's from Dan Illick. Remember Dan Illick? Yeah, I do. I do too. Can of worms. Yeah, I remember can. It's from Dan Illick. Remember Dan Illick? Yeah, I do. I do too. Can of worms. Yeah, I remember Can of Worms. Loved that show. Chrissy Swann was good, right?

I was in the studio audience for that. Were you really? Yep. Were you working? No. Really? Just for fun. Anyway, before we go,

Mitch, why don't you tell everyone about the date you've got this weekend? I'm not telling anyone. Jenna, let him tell us. I'm not telling anyone about my dates anymore. Why? Because every time I do, every time I share it, we then stop seeing each other. Like I said on this show, after a few months of seeing someone,

I finally mentioned, I said, I'm going to mention you on my podcast, is that okay? And he's like, yeah, sure, all right. So I mentioned it and then a couple of weeks later, I then had to slip in that I wasn't seeing someone anymore. So I think the longer I keep it a secret, much like you when you were dating Hayden for months before even coming out. Yeah. I think the longer I keep it a secret, the more successful it'll be.

Okay. Oh, I just forgot. What? I wanted to get Hayden on for ADD brief, but I suppose that breaks the rule of planning. For what reason? Because I couldn't tell you. Oh, because I need him to fucking explain something to me. We can do it next week.

Oh, but then we're planning ADD brief. That goes against the rule. Should we just do it now? Because we're spontaneous. No, he's at a movie screening. What movie? It started at 6.30. What movie?

Scissors something? He messaged it to me today. No such thing. There is such thing. You're lying. Don't be ridiculous. It's somewhere. It's whenever people reply.

Do you get this, Jenna? It's whenever people reply to messages. It's SK, SK, SK, SK. And I don't know how to say it out loud, but people fucking do. And it's the most hideous sound. You know how they go? I'm like, what is that? You sound like a sprinkler.

It pains me too. Yeah. And the whole and I oop thing. What are you ooping? Oh, I hate that. And I oop. You know who we should call? Who? For a brief explanation.

Talisha. Don't make the vomit sound effect when I say how I know her. We used to co-host Not My Cup of Tea together. See, we could have done this. This A to D brief has already gone too long, but the rule is it's spontaneous. We don't plan anything in this segment, so I can't fucking... There we go. What are we going to

ask her? Make sure it's recording in. Should we prank her? No, call her ID. Let me prank her. What does she do? I got an idea. Hi, it's Talisha. Sorry I missed your call. Just leave a message and I'll call you back. Don't stress. It's fine. Please leave a detailed message after the tone. When you have finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options.

Hey, Talisa. This is Craig. I'm calling from PR department at Goods and Goods Co. We got your request online for the Laney meet and greet tickets. We loved your application and we thought we'd love to get you down to meet the guys. Lau will be there too. We thought we'd hang you there you down to meet the guys. Lauv will be there too. We thought we'd hang you there. You can hang the guys and sort of just chill out.

So if you want to give me a buzz back, that'd be great. All right. Thanks, Talana. Thank you. You just said we'll probably hang you there. Hang them? Did I? You said, oh, we'll probably hang you there.

Oh, shit. It's like Ned Kelly's barrister giving him the heads up. Oh, we'll probably hang you there. Lee Harvey Oswald. We'll probably hang you there. Oh, shit. It's like Ned Kelly's barrister giving him the heads up. We'll probably hang you there. Lee Harvey Oswald. We'll probably hang you over there. Anyway, call her again. She's helping on dinner at the Serp. Okay.

We've got someone calling us, actually, which is so interesting. It's bizarre. This never happens. Hello? Connecting you now. I'm Levi Chambersbers and this is Pride. Hi, Levi. Call her again.

I'm Levi Chambers. Don't make fun of him. You're just jealous because you weren't on the Pride podcast. He'll be on next week. Hello. Hello. Hello, what's up? I need your help explaining something.

Yeah. Not that I want to get on board. I just want to know what the fuck. So we were talking about how people like you and Hayden, Mitch's boyfriend. Oh, I'm here as well. Yeah, I know. I just listened to your voicemail, you fuck. Did you believe it?

No. For a split second. I was like, Mitch Turi, that's Mitch to win that. I know that voice anyway. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. I was like, Mitch Turi, that's Mitch to win that. I know that voice anyway.

You're not wrong. You're not wrong. So we were just talking about how yours and Hayden's types always reply to messages with SK, SK, SK, SK, SK. And it's the most vile sound when you say it out loud. I almost can't bring myself to say it. Yeah, yeah. What was that? Oh, I thought for a second there.

She was being finger bashed. Yeah, I thought you were at a year six farewell and something was happening. Oh, I thought for a second there. She was being finger bashed. Yeah, I thought you were at a year six farewell and something was happening. Oh, yeah. Is that what happened at your year six farewell, mate? That's awful. So where did it come from and how do we get rid of it? It started with the VSCO girl. Yeah.

Who's that? Oh, doll. Where have you been? Oh, do you not have a Hydra Flash? Hey, can you bring up, look up Nimcot Talisha teacher bed. She used to do a segment where she'd like school me on the latest slang. This seems appropriate. All right, Talisha, I've got the bed.

Can I just play it or is there an intro? So off the back of it, you need to explain to me what it means and when it's appropriate to use it. Go. Okay. Let me teach you. You missed your cue. Oh, sorry. She's out of practice. No wonder this show me teach you. You missed your cue. Oh, sorry.

She's out of practice. No wonder the show was axed. Christ almighty. Am I allowed to cuss? Yeah, of course you can cuss. All right, perf. I don't have one banked up, but just in case. Do it again.

Okay, hold on, Talisha. To let me teach you. So, is a noise that VSCO girls make. So basically VSCO girls are like a subculture of the internet and they communicate via sksksksking, which is basically just a reaction like lol or mayo. To what? Like when would it be appropriate for me to use that?

So like if you were spilling some tea. God, I haven't missed this shit. I can't understand her. You're going to have to break it down for me, babe. Give me an actual scenario. Like a role play. Okay. Like a role play. Okay, so for instance, so Mitch, just spill some piping hot tea for me. I don't have any.

Oh, I got some. Can you believe that Dua Lipa is dating Ashwan Hadid? But that doesn't explain to me when it's appropriate to use it. I don't know what your reaction is. Are you happy? Are you shocked? Are you disgusted? Bless you.

It's like yeet. Oh, I still don't know. I don't know when to use yeet. Yeet's dead though. No one yeets. I know. That's why it exists. Oh, so it's filled the place of yeet.

So it doesn't actually have a necessary place. You can just use it when you have nothing better to say. Yeah. And you know when people are saying like a heaps boring story, it's like, and they go, oh, that's crazy. No way. Oh, so you'd use it. Oh, now it makes sense. There we go.

Oh, Mitch will use it every night to me then. Christ. He's got my number. I hate it. Also, Mitch was saying that he doesn't like and I oop. Yeah. Oh, and I oop's fucking over. It kind of just sounds like you're running towards a cliff.

It's like, and I oop. It started with like some chick. Yeah. Oh, and I looked fucking over. It kind of just sounds like you're running towards a cliff. It's like, and I whoop. Well, it started with, like, some chick. I can't remember. It was a TikTok. Yeah, I think so. But it was, like, and then it was a reaction gif on Twitter for ages. Yeah, it was an intro.

And it was, like, some bitch. Like, she was a really popular Halloween costume with you with her like bowl cut and earrings. And she was like, and I, and that's when something's like, you guys know what that is, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like in that kind of realm. Can you just put her on mute so she can't hear us? Bring her back. Yeah. No, realm it. She just will keep going. Can you just put her on mute? Yeah. So she can't hear us. Bring her back. Yeah.

No, I feel that. Okay. Sorry, Mitch was trying to do that cheeky thing where he puts mute to call her so he could slag you off, but then you stopped talking. No, I didn't. In fact, oh, he's got a tweet in about you, Talisha. Oh, my God. It's I underscore love underscore love underscore end underscore Lainey

saying we love Talisha. Oh, you run that account. That makes sense. Yeah, no, I tweet that. Another tweet from Lau saying, have you got the cease and desist order yet? Sorry, I'm probably scared of you. Yes, that's how you use it.

I love it. I could have and I ooped there too. Anyway. No, don't and I oop it's over okay boomer oh don't okay boomer have you heard

the other one that you say to um oh I'm not gonna say it oh you've bloody started now I can't say it anymore yeah

someone just said don't say it Midge who your producer yeah all six of them now we can't look Talisha

we've got to go um Jenna's News is just finished so we really need to get out of here. Yeah, no, that's fair. Don't say OK Boomer, it's over. Yeah, I know. That's why I said it. OK Boomer's done. Yeah. Oh, someone's looking

in the studio. We're on the phone to Talisha. Oh my god. Can you believe that? That's ridiculous. This is chaotic. Thanks for coming on, Talisha. Bye. I've cut her off.

Have you? Yeah. Well, hang up on her. I can still see her there. She can still hear us. You still there, Talisha? Yeah. Yeah, she's there.

You just said I hung up on her. No, but I pressed the off button. So, Talisha, talk. She's not coming through. Well, I don't think she wants to listen to us. Talisha, just hang up, please. Talisha, you can just hang up. Mitch can't do anything right.

Just hang up. See ya. There she goes. Oh, she hung up. Thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of Is It Just Me? I'm sorry. Who's calling you? It's an alarm.

All right, we need to get out of here. It's been a great night, a great day, a great show. Jenna, one last comment from you. Jenna, no need for that. Because that's how painful this show is. You stick around for it. We'll see you next week. Episode 11.

I did that on the main show. We can just sort of linger off, can't we? What? We can sort of dissipate, melt away. I still feel like it's nice to have a formal ending. Back next week with the best show yet. Thank you for listening. Thank you for listening.
