People do some weird shit.
Would you like to try a vape?
Why would you take up something that is going to be addictive and expensive?
I think for people...
I'll tell you why.
Yeah.
Because you're young and stupid.
Some things make more sense than others.
You mentioned that your goal was to be healthy,
and I just don't know how you figure that's going to happen
when you're ordering a chocolate mousse.
No.
You know, I had it in the car on the way home, and I didn't have a spoon,
so I was like an armadillo trying to get ants out of a hole.
I was like...
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
Being fingered is an awful sensation.
You haven't been fingered by the right person.
Goodness me.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of bitches.
Hi, it's Jenna.
Please don't forget to include my name in the opener this season.
I'm sorry.
Ta-da!
Now, here's Mitch Julie and Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, hello everybody.
Hello, Mitchell Coombs.
G'day, g'day.
What's happening?
110.
Can you bloody believe it?
We've passed the average life expectancy.
Everyone's like, it's a miracle.
What is it again?
What's the average life expectancy? 30 episodes. You it's a miracle. What is it again? What's the average life expectancy?
30 episodes.
You've told me that.
I'm not talking about podcasts.
I'm talking about age.
If someone lives to 110, the local paper runs a story.
Oh, if our podcast was a person, if Ijum was a woman, yeah, she'd get a cake.
She'd be in that geo.
Can I tell you what happened to me on the way in today?
Yeah, please do.
You know when you're driving and you do the voice to text?
Oh, yes.
Because you can't actually type on your phone.
I do it all the time.
Does your Siri ever go rogue and add emojis to your texts?
No, not add emojis.
I've tried to get her to use emojis, but she doesn't.
She just spills it out.
She's so going rogue.
I said to, because our producer for Trash Alley texted me about something.
And I said, oh.
Probably wanted me to come back on the show.
I'm just assuming she might.
Yeah, overwhelming demand with the words. She texted me about something. And I said, oh. Probably wanted me to come back on the show. I'm just assuming she might. Yeah.
Overwhelming demand with the words.
She texted me about something and I said, hi, about to record.
Is it just me?
I'll have a look later.
Yeah.
And when I read the text back, they bookended the word, is it just me with all these emojis?
And I didn't fucking do that.
Oh my God.
It hyperlinked it.
No, it put a star emoji and a person talking emoji. What the fuck fuck i was like how did siri know that we're stars and we talk wait you know what you know what siri does
sometimes when you say because i've got hayden saved in my phone with a little love heart emoji
then like a puzzle piece i don't know when you're dating you put stupid things on the contacts
so whenever i go hey mom hayden and i are coming over for dinner now it will spell hayden as it's
spelled in my contacts.
So it'll put a love heart with a puzzle piece.
Oh, that's cute.
So mum's like, why the fuck do they want me to bring Scrabble?
Or what's going on?
Imagine if it was the eggplant emoji.
Mum's like, okay, we get it.
And the water spray emoji.
No need to water the gardens, honey.
Siri is dumb as dog shit.
You know, if you want to do dot, dot, dot, you can't because you have to say ellipses.
If you say dot, dot, dot, she will write word for word, dot, dot, dot.
Speaking of dot, we haven't spoken to your alter ego in a while.
No, we haven't.
She got a hip replacement surgery and she's got thrush.
Yeah, right.
Speaking of, actually, at Pricekeeper Genesee.
Hi, Jenna.
Out there, Will, with thrush is here.
No, you got rid of the thrush.
You swam in the Baltic Sea, right, and all the salt got rid of it.
The salt helps so much.
How are you?
Are you good?
I'm very well, yes. How are you? I'm fine. I thought of Jenna in this cold weather. You know, I don't think you'd make it. The salt helps so much. How are you? You good? I'm very well.
Yes.
How are you?
I'm fine.
I thought of Jenner in this cold weather.
You know, I don't think you'd make it.
No.
What?
If I'm cold and shivering, I don't know how Jenner survives.
I think she'd have bed socks.
She reminds me of my sister who is just always cold, even in summer.
She's got big puffer jackets on.
Oh, my God.
It was cold in the Hunter Valley.
I went on a little getaway, which I'm going to talk about.
That's in my e-gym.
So we should start the show, I think.
Sure.
If it's your first time listening. Up to you, darling.
Yeah, well, let's get into it.
It's our 110th show, so congratulations, guys, for making it this far.
We start the show the same way every week.
Two, is it just me?
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Sorry, one sec.
I've just got to do my Difflam throat spray.
How good is that shit?
Oh, that is the best.
Oh, fuck.
I'm a bit sick, everyone.
I love how you are such a drama queen.
When I was sick last week, I soldiered on marvelously well.
I did not let it affect me.
But here you are being like, sorry, let's get into the show.
Oh, wait.
I'm sick.
We get it.
We get it.
Yeah, we start the show the same way every week.
Two Idjim.
Is it just me?
Something we've noticed. Something we hate or appreciate.
I went on a little getaway.
Later in the show, though, it's a real IJM show.
A real Is It Just Me show.
Because we're diving back into the podcast library.
There's a whole new fleet of Is It Just Me podcasts.
Yes, we've done this a couple of times.
Listening to other podcasts that have the exact same name as us.
And I can't believe there's more.
There's more.
It's stupid, really.
Because we're the best.
It makes us feel really basic.
Because it's such an unoriginal name, clearly.
There are so many.
There are so fucking many idjams.
I know.
Anyway, we'll dive through that.
We're still the best.
Make no mistake.
Oh, I have collated the best.
Actually, there were no best bits.
I've collated the worst bits from the new Is It Just Me's, and we'll go through them
later on.
Are we ready to jump in, start the show?
Sure.
Are you going to kick things off?
Yeah, I'll go first.
Let's go.
Is it just me or?
Do six wine tastings in a day sound like a bad idea to you?
No, it's not a bad idea, but they can catch up to you quite quickly.
Oh my, I've never done a wine tasting in my life.
Oh my God.
Too much alcohol.
And you weren't driving home, I take it.
No.
So this is what happened.
Hayden and I had a nice little getaway in the Hunter Valley, which is wine region for
the international listeners.
And wine is, it's a great variety drink and it ferments and it becomes alcoholic.
And we were on the Hunter Valley and we had three nights.
It was gorgeous, very cold.
And a friend of ours said to me, hey, you know what you should do?
You should rent e-bikes.
It's this big thing.
It's like the big fad at the moment.
I saw those pictures. I was wondering why you were on bikes. Well, you rent e-bikes. It's this big thing. It's like the big fad at the moment. I saw those pictures.
I was wondering why you were on bikes.
Well, you rent e-bikes, which are like electrical-powered bikes.
So go from winery to winery.
Yeah, you book all the different wineries.
They're quite far apart.
Yeah, she didn't mention that.
So then I go, great.
I log on ebikevineyard.com.
I call, I book.
Anyway, so I get there, and the guy goes, boys, let me get you the bikes.
I'm going to need the big ones for you too.
And here we go. So I get the industrial sized
bike, put that little helmet on. He goes, alright, you gotta
be back at five. This is how it works.
You've got to try my Moscato.
And I thought, what?
Even the guy that owned the
e-bike company had his own Moscato.
Everyone in the fucking wine country makes their own drink.
And so you would have been drink riding.
Yeah, we were drink riding. I feel like that could be more dangerous than drink driving.
Well, it's actually, you're not allowed to do it.
Yeah, so it's illegal.
Well, if you get fined by police on your bike,
you lose demerit points in the same way you would as if you were driving.
I didn't know that.
Really?
Yeah, anyway.
And you still did it.
The lines are blurred.
So this guy gives us his Moscato and off we go.
And it starts great.
Little dirt tracks.
He gives us a map.
He's hand-drawn and it's very cute, photocopied. So we're driving through the vineyards. It's gorgeous. We get to one. There's kangaroos. We have starts great. Little dirt tracks. He gives us a map. He's hand-drawn it. It's very cute, photocopied.
So we're driving through the vineyards.
It's gorgeous.
We get to one.
There's kangaroos.
We have our drinks.
It's nice.
You're a bit tipsy.
So then the second bike ride, really fun, right?
So it's good until you get to like the fifth winery.
It's 5 p.m.
It's country sun.
I swear that sun sets quicker than it does in the city.
It does, yes.
Oh, my God.
It gets dark in 20 minutes.
So we're at the last vineyard, pissed as anything, and we have an hour and a half trip back on the bike.
I can't believe you agreed to that.
It's not like the Hunter Valley Winery or the Vegas Strip.
Not everything is compact and close together.
I thought there'd be like a light rail or something.
No.
No, it's just dirt road.
Yeah.
So then Hayden and I go, fuck, we've got to get back.
Otherwise we're going to get caught in the dark.
It's freezing.
We have dinner at 7.
We have to run.
So we're about to leave the last vineyard and the owner runs out and she goes, excuse
me, boys.
Excuse me, boys.
We go, yeah.
She went, are those jackets Yossi?
And we went, pardon me?
What?
She went, those jackets you're wearing, are they Yossi?
And we went, no, no, they're Yeezy, like Kanye West.
They're Yeezy.
Oh, Yeezy.
Yeezy jackets.
And she went, oh, my son who lives upstairs has never seen Yeezy, but he's a big fan.
Can I bring him down?
And of course I go, yeah, get him down and get the camera out.
Just to look at your jacket.
Bring him down.
What's his name?
What's his window?
I'll throw a pebble at it to get his attention.
Oh, my God.
So she brings the son down.
He's like three arms, hasn't seen the sunlight in a month.
He's like, hi.
And I go, hi, buddy.
He goes, whoa, that's a Yossi jacket.
I go, well, you're not that big of a fan.
You keep calling it Yossi like it's a yogurt brand.
Sorry, I need to do a snozz.
Anyway, he goes, can I try it on?
And mine's a 4XL.
And I said, sure, take it up to your bedroom.
Use it as a doona kit.
So I go, try it on.
So he tries on my Yossi jacket.
Anyway, cute story.
It takes up so much time.
It's now pitch black.
We go, fuck, like it's dark.
And there's no headlights on a push bar. No headlights on an e-bike. So we go, oh, fuck, it's dark pitch black. We go, fuck, like it's dark. And there's no headlights on a push bar.
No headlights on an e-bike.
So we go, oh, fuck, it's dark.
She goes, no, no, no.
The e-bike facility is two properties behind ours,
and it will take you 20 minutes if you ride through our property.
Don't.
Oh, God.
Or you can go the main way.
It'll take an hour and a half.
But cut through our property.
You've been so nice with the yazzles.
So we go through the property.
It's all good.
Because there is just nothing in the world that runs more smoothly than push
bikes on uneven terrain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Great idea.
Yeah.
So I'm leading the pack, of course.
Got my helmet on.
I look like I'm on wheels.
So I'm riding and then we get to the back of their property, right?
And we go, oh, great.
There's just one fence.
Let's jump the fence.
So we jump the fence, open the fence, really drive through.
And then we start riding halfway through and we can see the e-bike facility we're like this
is perfect this is great then we see a sign then the sign is on a stake and i'll show you the sign
and it says bike riders will be eaten with a photo of a dinosaur beheading a bike rider on an e-bike
and he was a plump looking rider too. He looked just like me.
This must happen often.
They leave people astray and go,
I'll just ride through the property.
Bike riders will be eaten.
What?
And then there was a fence that we had to jump.
By the way, that's not pitch black.
Are you embellishing?
Look at the sunset.
The sun is setting.
The sky is blue as fuck.
You are lying.
Jenna, you can corroborate that.
No, that looks light.
It's daytime.
It was dusk.
How much of this story has been embellished?
I have to have more insulin now.
I'm freaking out.
You can't make up shit and then show me photo evidence.
It is so bright.
Not bright.
It's fucking one in the afternoon.
I can go to the time of that photo was taken.
Go on.
5pm.
No, go look.
I'd love to know. Yeah, go look. I'd love to know.
Yeah, go look.
Now I feel very stressed.
Actually, Jenna, let's put money on it.
What time do you reckon the photo was taken?
Shut up.
I'm going to say.
We're on a podcast.
I have to talk.
Mitch, you can't tell me to shut up.
I'm going to say 3.15.
No.
Yeah, that looks to me like maybe because it's a little bit orange.
So I would say it's like maybe 4.17
Okay it's 4.52
And the sun sets at 5
I was closer
So it wasn't pitch black
But look at me
I'm jumping the fence in my yosel
And look at the
You can see the sunset on my face
It's bright red
So we get to the fence
And we go
We got like one run left
Then we hear
Oi!
Get on our fucking property, cunts!
And Hayden shits his little dicks.
He wouldn't have coped.
His yosie pants are very expensive to drive through.
And I go, alright, calm down.
He goes, Rexy, get him!
And she lets his Alsatian horse out.
So this fucking dog is like doing the four-legged run.
And I'm going, oh my god, Hayden, throw the bike over the fence.
So Hayden throws the bike over the fence.
I throw mine over the fence.
Wouldn't you hold the bike as a shield?
Like back off dog.
No, because if we get over this fence, we're fine.
We're safe.
So my thought was get over the fence.
Push the bikes over the fence.
Barbed wire.
Full barbed wire fence.
So I push Hayden over.
I jump over and he cuts all of his yazzle jacket.
It's a real travesty.
Oh no.
But we land on the other side of the fence in wet mud.
Covered in mud.
Like it was dredged marshlands, wetlands.
So we're stomping through this mud, this Alsatian's barking at the gate.
We finally get on the bikes.
We get back to the dirt trail.
We go over a hill.
Hayden falls off in front of a wedding party.
Someone's taking wedding photos on the other side.
It truly was.
Where the fuck were you when there was a wedding taking place?
It was gorgeous.
The sun was setting.
You can picture it.
There's wild dogs.
There's wild dogs.
Anyway, then we get back.
We finally get back to the e-bike place.
Hayden's punctured a tire.
An hour and a half later.
An hour and a half later.
Jesus.
We get there.
I'm covered in mud, covered in water.
Hayden's yosel jacket is ripped to pieces.
We get there and we go, great, we'll just book a taxi.
They go, it's all we can.
None of the taxis are working.
They're all on holiday.
And we said, oh, we'll book an Uber.
They said, we don't get Uber in the Hunter Valley.
What?
So then the owner of the e-bike facility said, we'll take you.
So we get his van and he takes us back.
Oh my God.
It was truly a tragic day.
That is so stressful.
Oh God, yeah.
How did that go so wrong?
I know.
I swear they usually have like mini buses going around these wineries.
I've done a mudgy trip before.
Oh yeah, they do.
They're fantastic. Why didn't you just fucking get one of those? Because the bikesgy trip before. Oh, yeah, they do. They're fantastic.
Why didn't you just fucking get one of those?
Because the bikes were pretty cheap.
Oh, how much was the mini bus?
Oh, it was like $110 for the day and the e-bikes were $67 each.
So you actually are more out of pocket.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, there's two of us.
Oh, it all falls into place.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, well, you know.
I haven't travelled in a while.
COVID, COVID, COVID.
Anyway, I'll put those photos on the Is It Just Me socials.
Jenny, you'll have to talk to them to make it look like the same.
No, they're already on your Instagram, just so everyone knows.
It's at Mitch Turi.
There's photos of him in broad daylight saying it was pitch black.
No!
I didn't.
And did you see the photo of me getting out of the helicopter and made me look like I
flew in one?
I knew you didn't.
No, I didn't.
I actually went up and said, can I get a photo of this?
He said, no.
And then he went to the bathroom and we took a photo.
It is easy for these things to get out of hand, though, because I've done that.
I've been to the wineries.
And because one of my friends, thankfully, was Deso Driver, going from winery to winery.
Yeah.
Every time they gave us a new glass of wine, they'd have a sip and then spit it in the
bucket, which, by the way, rank.
Yeah.
That is so gross.
The Splatoon.
Yes, the Splatoon or whatever it's called.
And then they would be like, okay, I've had my sip.
Mitchell, you have the rest.
And so I was having my sip plus everyone else's.
There were two people with me not drinking.
And it was like 2 p.m. and I was like, I'm hammered.
Really?
And at the time I was like, God, I could go a cigarette.
Like I was so blocked.
There's something about day drinking that just hits different.
Oh, my God.
And in the Hunter Valley
It is so appropriate to drink at 10am
Our first Moscato was at 10am when we got the bikes
It was truly insane, and Hayden
Kept dropping everywhere that my dad
Ran Yellowtail, little did he
Know, little pea brain, that Yellowtail
Is like the poor man's wine
Yeah, that's not going to impress anyone
It's so well because it's cheap and you know
You don't go to the mecca of the wine world and go,
oh, yeah, his dad runs the cheapest piss-poor wine that runs,
that ruins your industry.
He told everyone.
Imagine being like, oh, yes, I'm in the wine industry.
Yes, it's in my family.
My great-aunt Passion Pop actually started our family business.
Yeah, I'm Mitch Cruiser.
That's my name.
Oh, you poor thing.
Alright. It was truly tragic. I'm happy to
do my itch and let's do it. Okay, let's go. Jump in.
Is it
just me or
Can you
tell whether or not someone has
great hug energy?
I'd like to think so because I think
I have good hug energy. I don't think I can tell.
Really? I don't think I'm a good read on whether someone's a good hugger or not.
What do you mean?
Oh, do you mean a good hugger or does it feel good?
Is there a difference?
Like what makes a good hug?
Oh, you know.
You know the feeling when you've just had a warm embrace.
Because you know how I was on Studio 10 not long ago?
Yes.
I met Tristan McManus for the first time.
He's a lovely fellow, yeah.
Yeah.
And I wouldn't have picked him to be someone that has great hug energy, but
oh, I just wanted him
to hold me all night. Oh, really?
He gave the most
stunning hug I've ever had. Really?
I was like, wow, the touch of a man.
It's been years. Well, he's a dancer, so he's
got all that upper body strength. True, exactly.
I was really taken aback by that.
But another person that gives great hugs,
Bo Ryan. Oh, I've had a Bo embrace. I'm at the point where every time I see another person that gives great hugs, Bo Ryan.
Oh, I've had a Bo embrace.
I'm at the point where every time I see him and he gives me a hug,
I actually say, no, a bit longer.
Hold me longer, please, Bo.
You can tell he's got great hug energy.
You can tell.
But then again, I've been told I give great hugs and I'm soft and squishy.
I'm not muscular like those men.
Do you think I've got great hug energy?
No, I don't think you would.
Oh.
No, I'm not trying to insult you. I think I take people by surprise.
Really?
Yeah.
Should we try it?
If you want.
Yeah, let's hug.
Okay.
We don't often hug.
We hugged the other day at an event.
When did we hug?
We hugged at an event.
I remember hugging you and I thought, God, I'm hugging Mitchell Booms.
I don't go to events with you.
Famously, you don't go.
How dare you?
I should have brought some hugging music. Just so you know, I'm the to events with you. Famously, you don't go. How dare you? I should have brought some hugging music.
Just so you know, I'm the Dom here.
You have to be like a bit of a limp-wristed hug.
I'm proving that I've got good hugging energy.
Okay, so I'm just the model.
I'm just going to be flaccid.
Okay, yes, yes, that's correct.
All right.
Ready?
How are you?
Hi.
Oh, how are you?
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, that was good.
Really?
That was good.
Yeah. You know what you did? You went under my arms, which not many people do. Because you? Yeah. Oh, that was good. Really? That was good. Yeah.
You know what you did?
You went under my arms, which not many people do.
Because you're taller.
That's if I could try and reach around you.
Oh, I feel warm and cuddly.
Might be the Difflam.
I think it's the hug, though.
Who's someone that you reckon does have good hug energy?
Oh, Magda Spakansky.
Oh, yeah.
No, I would love to give her a cuddle.
Same.
But I would dom her.
Like, I wouldn't expect her to be the tight hugger. I would just, like, clutch onto her and be like, I would love to give her a cuddle. Same. What was that name again? I would dom her. Like, I wouldn't expect her to be the tight hugger.
I would just, like, clutch onto her and be like, I adore you.
I cherish you.
Yeah, 100%.
So she probably, like, there's a difference between wanting to hug someone and them having
good hug energy.
I'm going to really be cancelled for saying this.
I think Pauline Hanson would give a fucking killer hug.
Oh my God, I think you're right.
Don't you think she would?
Yeah, I think she would.
Because regardless of her opinions, and we don't like Pauline,
but she's been through fucking shit.
So she knows what a good consoling hug feels like, so she can give it.
I feel like it would be good for her as well.
Yeah.
Oh, it's more for her than it is for you.
She'd be like, I need this.
I'm going to hold on real tight.
I don't see her as a good hugger.
Well, who do you see?
Maybe you've got a different metric.
Give us someone.
Someone like Clive Palmer.
I reckon Jenna does not have good hug energy, just saying.
Sorry, Jenna, no.
She would definitely never initiate it.
It'd be like hugging one of those old wicker brooms.
Yeah.
It probably is.
No, you could just tell while she's in your arms that she doesn't want to be there.
Yeah.
She'd be like, let go.
Because I'm just thinking about, so when's this going to end?
Yeah, when's it over?
Yeah.
Do I pull back or?
All right.
Well, let's do famous people so we can picture them all.
Okay.
Kate Langbrook.
Oh, that'd be a good hug.
I'd enjoy that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she always wears velvet.
So it'd be so soft.
What about Chrissy Swann?
Pre-weight loss.
Yes.
Although she's got that gorgeous smile about her.
There's a lot going on there.
Yeah, actually, she's a very warm person.
She'd give a good hug.
Dorothy the dinosaur.
The best hug.
Terrible.
No, terrible.
The best hug.
Jenna, it's...
Look at her tiny little arm.
Yes.
Yeah, I know, but you can initiate it.
No, and you know what's hard?
When you hug a really big person, they've got a tummy.
Not tummy shaming, I'm the same.
But there's like a tummy in the way.
Sometimes the bigger the person, you'd think the better the hug
because it's soft, but not all the time.
Dorothy, you wouldn't even be able to get your arms around.
I'm fully aware of the struggle.
I just had to go through it with you.
Excuse you.
Who else?
Anthony Albanese.
Terrible.
Shit hug energy.
Terrible.
Terrible.
Really bad.
I reckon he's had training, though.
Like people have said, people will trust you as a prime minister
if you give warm hugs.
So we're going to have to work on this. They did
workshops. You know how your father
always tries to teach you how to give a good handshake?
Did your dad ever do that? Yeah, he taught me
that and how to shave. The only two things I ever learnt.
My dad never taught me how to shave.
How did you learn? I guess he just assumed I'd never grow
facial hair. And it's not far off.
He thought you were a girl. That's the problem. He didn't
realise. Your dad would give a good hug.
He does. He does. I do quite enjoy hugging dad. Yeah, my dad does a hug. My dad you're a girl. That's the problem. He didn't realise. Your dad would give a good hug. He does. He does.
I do quite enjoy hugging dad.
Yeah.
My dad does a hug.
My dad does really good hugs.
But he always turns them into back cracks for me.
It's quite sweet.
He'll hug me then.
I love that.
Yeah.
He'll hug me then.
He'll go, breathe in, breathe out.
And then he'll smash my back.
It's really good.
Oh, I have been craving a good back crack for ages.
Can you invite your dad over?
Yeah.
He does it to Hayden too.
It's actually quite cute.
And Hayden will ask him for a back crack.
It's quite sweet.
Oh, that's cute.
Yeah, it's really sweet.
It's quite cute.
Maybe there is something to having parents-in-law.
I'm suddenly open to the idea.
Yeah.
I need someone to crack me.
Who else could we do?
Rebel Wilson.
Shit.
Oh, terrible.
I'll tell you who's a great hugger.
Oh, who?
Amanda Keller.
Oh, she would be.
Oh, yes.
That hug.
I'm adding her to my hug bank. I can't wait.
That would be gorgeous. Bridge space and time.
And she'd do a back, she'd do
two back taps and then a nice rub.
Oh, a nice rub. Yeah.
Maybe I should start incorporating the rub into my
hugs. Oh my god, you should.
Queen Elizabeth. Shit.
And I'd be too scared to hug her.
She's very frail.
Imagine if you killed the Queen by hugging her.
Imagine you hugging the Queen and then a split second before you hug her,
you trip and just...
London Bridge is down.
Queen Elizabeth has died at the tender age of 96.
Fat broadcaster Mitch Turi bulldozed the Queen.
He also fell on three of her nine corgis, killing them all.
Not the animals again.
No, I love Kate.
Is it just me?
That's enough of these two.
Now let's hear an Is It Just You?
Yep, time for an Is It Just You?
It's your turn to have an idjim be a host of the show.
You just don't get the million dollar paycheck like us,
but you'll get there, right?
Can you stop making those jokes?
Did your Mercedes come yet?
Huh?
Mercedes bans the car.
Did it come?
Shut up.
Mine?
They just sent one to me.
I went, I've already got two.
Anyway, your chance to get on and have an is it just me of your own, something you've
noticed you hate or appreciate.
Oh my God.
Do you know what I just remembered?
We agreed last week that we would do something we appreciate as our idjim.
I actually, in a way, did.
What did you do?
Oh, a good hug.
Yeah.
Oh no, mum was very negative.
Yeah.
Oh, well hopefully we've got a nice one today.
The wine.
Next week.
Yeah, I'll be positive next week.
Oh no, it's the fucking telephone.
That doesn't mean you can't be positive.
No, I'm going to be mean to all the callers.
All right.
Well, maybe the is it just you is something they appreciate.
Oh, perhaps.
We've got Steph on the line from Hobart.
Hey, Steph.
Welcome.
Hello.
Hi.
Steph, we have had you on the show before.
We have.
I had the pitchy haunting doorbell in the Rate the Doorbell series.
Yeah, the pitchy doorbell.
Oh, my God.
I'll never get it out of your brain.
You didn't like that one, did you, Mitch?
Well, I'm pretty sure what I said was a bit pitchy, bub.
You did. It's definitely nightmare fuel. I cringe every time I said was, bit pitchy, bub. You did.
It's definitely nightmare fuel.
I cringe every time someone comes to my door.
Don't worry.
I can imagine.
It's like that fucking Vecna doorbell in Stranger Things.
Oh, my God.
Stop.
The Creel clock.
Anyway.
All right.
You can jump in.
Bradley will take you.
Are we on speakerphone, by the way, Steph?
No.
Okay.
Just getting a bit of feedback.
Yeah.
Why are we echoing back?
I can hear that.
On AirPods?
Hang on. Can you hear me? Yeah. That sounds good getting a bit of feedback. Yeah, why are we echoing back? I can hear that. On AirPods? Hang on.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, that sounds good.
Sorry about that.
You're fine, Steph.
All right, Steph, Bradley will take you in and then just hit us with your regimo, okay?
Firstly, though, can you tell us, is it something you appreciate?
It's something I've noticed.
Okay.
Okay.
We're happy with that.
Can you appreciate it?
Yeah.
Oh, she can appreciate it.
Okay.
All right, let's see after. Go for it, we're happy with that. Appreciate it. Yeah. Oh, she can appreciate it. Okay. All right.
Let's see after.
Go for it, Steph.
Is it just me or?
Are those yellow safety house stickers that people used to stick on their fences just
not a thing anymore?
Do you remember those?
The what?
The who?
The yellow.
So there were triangle yellow and they used to say safety house on them and people used
to put them on their fences to indicate, like,
this is a safe place.
If you're in trouble, you can, like, knock on some rando's door.
Oh, is that kind of like, I feel like the New South Wales equivalent
might be the neighbourhood watch stickers.
Probably.
I think it was a national thing and I wasn't sure if it was just Tassie,
but, like, I literally just had, like, a memory flood back
that we had one on our door as a kid, like, on our fence
and someone actually came to our door and used it.
And I was like, people actually use things?
What was the situation?
What situation was the kid in?
She got into a scrag fight.
Oh.
Jenna, were you in Hobart recently?
Yeah, I was actually.
Oh, my God.
We had to call our parents.
Shit.
I'm pretty sure we've got a Neighbourhood Watch sticker on our letterbox
in Bogengate,
but no one's ever rocked up in a crisis.
So, like, that is wild.
I never realised people actually use them.
Yeah, I remember seeing them on the side of bins.
I used to see them.
On so many bins.
Yeah, nothing says safe space like a purple bin.
Yeah, well, I don't know if you Google it, whether you recognise it,
but we had them everywhere here in Tassie, even on, like, schools and stuff.
Yeah, I just Googled it. can I just say, that little face,
like the safety house mascot, he looks like a bit of a dope just quietly.
So I wouldn't trust that.
I've never seen this sticker before, but it's the same concept.
Wow, I never realised that people actually did that.
I feel like that's actually a trap.
A predator could put a safety house thing on there,
and then a kid rocks up and they're like, yeah, yeah.
It didn't exactly blow up.
They're not there anymore.
Well, do you remember Walk Safely to School Day with the little logo?
I used to do walk and your mum and it was like a little,
it actually looks like the COVID thing.
It was like, here, ready?
This guy.
And there were stickers and pamphlets and people had it on their windows.
I remember Walk Safely to School Day.
Oh, the 90s was such a different time.
I know, right?
They really were. No bike the 90s was such a different time. I know, Brian. They really were.
No bike helmets.
We were so trusting.
So it says here that in New South Wales,
the safety house program was discontinued in favour of a new program
designed to provide children with simple strategies
to help ensure their own safety.
So instead of fleeing to, like, a safe spot to get out of a crisis,
they've just taught them to deal with it.
I'd love to know what those strategies are.
The new strategy is to give every child a pocket knife and they will now no need a safe
space.
Oh, God.
It says here that they only run independently in Western Australia now, the safe house stickers.
That's why I've not seen them then.
I guess it is problematic too.
I mean, you know, a creep could put it on their window and go, safe space.
That's what I'm saying.
It's a fucking weird concept when you really think about it. I think it's smart.
I think it's smart. Alright, Steph, thank you for that. Definitely not an appreciative
idjim, but you definitely did notice. Sorry about that. It was a good one. Yeah, you did well.
Alright, Steph, thanks for listening to the show. Oh, hang on, Steph, before you go,
fabulous news for you. Prizekeeper Jenna has decided
to do her job and restock the prize cupboard.
So every caller that comes on for an Is It Just You will get one of our pop sockets.
So what's your favourite colour?
Pink, blue or yellow?
Oh, my God.
So what is there, pink, blue and yellow?
Yeah.
Oh, pink for sure.
Great.
All right.
You'll have to hit up Jenna off the cloud.
Jenna, send that out to Steph.
Thank you.
And put an extra stamp on it for the postage to Hobart.
Of course. Of course. Thanks, Steph. Stay warm. Thanks, Steph. Thanks, guys. Our you. And put an extra stamp on it for the postage to Hobart. Of course.
Thanks, Steph.
Stay warm.
Thanks, guys.
Our pleasure.
Thanks, darling.
Shall we jump in and start reviewing?
See what the competition's up to.
Yeah.
Let's have a look through the podcast library.
Is it just me?
Is this your weekly fix where we give the very silly, stupid stuff in life the due gravitas
we feel it deserves?
Yep.
So we did this very early on in the show, years ago, in the very first year of the show.
Yeah, the last time we listened to all the other podcasts with the same name as us was,
I think it was like February or March last year.
Yeah.
And I can't believe how many more have been launched in that year.
Oh my god.
It's actually shocking.
Really?
And this isn't even all of them.
No.
We're playing just some of them, right?
I have not heard this audio yet.
You've been digging around seeing what all the other Is It Just Me's are up to.
I was pained with the task of listening to all these fucking shows.
And I will say, congratulations to us because when you search Is It Just Me,
we are still the number one search result.
Yay!
Very exciting for us.
I don't know if that's accurate because I think the search result might be tailored to you
because you've listened to it before.
That's true.
So we'd have to get a total random overseas to it before. That's true. Oh, sheesh.
So we'd have to get a total random overseas to search it to prove we're number one. All right.
Well, someone can do that.
But at the moment, we'll claim that.
And Joe Elvin, our good friends of our show, Joe Elvin and James Williams, who had the originalism, are still their second.
We've made a truce.
We're fine with each other.
But the others, bring it on, Mo.
Oh, yeah.
There are so many is-it-just-me's.
We've been through a few, but I've gone through,
and these are my personal favourites, okay?
Yeah.
Some we can relate to.
Some are very similar to our show.
Some completely fucking different and shocking and terrible.
And we will say we're not being mean.
We don't want you to go to these podcasts and give them a negative review.
We're just seeing what our sister podcasts are putting up too often.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure last time we did this,
our method was to go and leave them a positive review.
We're not shit canning them, but while leaving them a positive review,
you plug us.
Just be like, oh, love this podcast.
It's almost as good as Is It Just Me by a couple of bitches.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, you just got to be nice to them,
but plug us at the same time.
All right, let's go to Is It Just Me number one.
This is the first one that I found.
Is It Just Me by Eve Cut and Dunn.
It's got about nine episodes.
How confident are you that you just said her name correctly?
I'm not confident at all.
But she's got no reviews.
So I'm safe to say the fans, the Carindatuses won't come for me.
Okay.
So she's new here.
She's new here.
This is how her podcast starts every week.
And it's kind of like life lessons.
It's ours without the comedy lens.
So take a listen to the first Is It Just Me?
Nice song.
Cool.
Love a bit of organ.
Hey, what's up, everybody?
This is Eva Cardenas, and I am so excited to announce
that I am officially launching my podcast, Is It Just Me?
And, you know, the whole concept behind this is realizing, you know,
we all go through this thing called life.
And in it, there's different circumstances that we face.
There's different challenges that we go through.
And definitely a whole lot of changes that we encounter.
Oh, brilliant.
Yeah.
We all experience that.
So I wonder, what did she experience?
What has she changed in her life?
This is her episode two.
I've learned to become stronger.
Right?
Right?
I'm a more rooted individual. This is from episode two. I've learned to become stronger. Right? Right? I'm more rooted. I'm a more rooted individual.
Good for her. It sounds
like she's driving in her car
and she's having a phone call with one of her girlfriends
and her kids just recorded it. Yeah.
It just sounds like a one-sided conversation. It's not there
and she's more rooted. I'm very
proud of her. Good for her. It's not easy
to talk about. She's got potential. She's got
some. Anyway, that podcast is still going, so you can find that is it just me. I will never listen because. Good for her. It's not easy to talk about. She's got potential. She's got, yeah, some.
Anyway, that podcast is still going, so you can find that Is It Just Me.
I will never listen because the audio quality sucks.
The weird thing is, the through line through all these shows,
the audio quality is terrible on all of them.
Can I just say, one of my friends said something to me the other day,
and it made my day.
What did they say?
They said, Is It Just Me, as in our one,
is the only podcast that I can listen to on the bus because all the others are so quiet in volume, whereas ours,
because I fucking pump them levels, you can hear every word.
Oh, I've noticed that.
I'm glad someone noticed.
I never want someone to be around white noise and be like,
what, I can't hear them.
Is that your dirty talk?
The levels are so hot on your podcast.
That does get me hard.
I'm not kidding.
The hard limit was perfect this week, Sha.
The hard limits.
Okay, let's go to the next one.
This one has a lovely cover art.
Have a look, guys.
It's a little brain on a skateboard.
Oh, that's creepy.
I don't know what that has to do with this.
I feel like there was a shirt of cotton on with that on my back in the day.
This one is so funny because there's a clear co-host, right?
She tells us who she is, but then the way she introduces her co-host is very funny to me and we never get any answer.
So, nevertheless, this is the second Is It Just Me?
Sounds like I'm an RTA.
Hey, guys, this is episode two of Is It Just Me?
And I'm your host, Sarah Lewis, and I'm with...
Kennedy, my teammate.
My teammate, Kennedy.
And they never explained what team.
They never explained Kennedy.
It's just her teammate.
Does it say on the podcast description their names or anything?
Nope, nope.
There's no mention of Kennedy ever anywhere.
Oh.
It's Sarah Lewis' show.
Sarah's the brain on the skateboard.
But in the second episode, Kennedy disappears because she's got really hard-hitting topics to discuss.
So let's jump into the second episode of her show.
I want to talk about birthdays this week because me personally, like I'm not a big birthday person.
I'm not big on like the like
what is it called
your like sign
your
um
what is it called
it's a podcast I don't know
um
like I'm an Aries
but I don't know
I'm blankingries, but I don't know. I'm blanking, but your sign, your...
Star sign?
Your...
Come on, man.
Something sign.
I don't know.
Okay, I had to cut that, but that went for a minute and a half,
and she never found it.
She meant star sign.
Is she still going?
How many episodes has she got?
She's got a few.
She got up to episode 16, Media, and then quit.
Oh, the 20-episode burnout.
Yeah, she's got episode 14, Crisis March.
Episode 13, Happy Birthday.
Episode 10 is also Birthday.
So she revisited that.
She's got a real fucking issue with that.
Two weeks later.
Not something she appreciates.
She revisited it.
True.
All right, let's go to the next one.
This one is truly awful, and that's all I'm saying.
No, we're being nice, remember?
No, okay, we're being nice.
But this one, like what you said at first, Mitch,
it sounds like this lady is on the phone call to her cousin,
and she's just telling her about her life.
Yeah.
This episode is called Life Update,
and all she talks about for 49 minutes is her period.
Oh.
Yeah.
So it sounds like she's on the phone call.
So we're not the audience.
No, we're not the target demo.
Maybe Jenna.
Okay. So this is it. This is just me. Let's see. So I hadn't had my on the phone call. So we're not the audience. No, we're not the target demo. Maybe Jenna. Okay.
So this is it.
This is just me.
Have a listen.
Let's see.
So I hadn't had my period.
I'm like, where is it at?
It didn't show up, didn't show up, didn't show up.
What?
I took pregnancy tests, multiple ones, and they all come back negative.
So I'm like, well, I can't be pregnant.
But then I kept going without my period and going without my period.
And then all of a sudden, my period hit.
And let me tell you, it was the worst period I've had.
Wow.
That's shocking.
It sounds like she's on a telehealth appointment.
Yeah, I'll be the doctor, ready?
All right, Michelle.
So what brings you into the surgery today?
So I hadn't had my period.
I'm like, where is it at?
It didn't show up, didn't show up, didn't show up.
Yeah.
And is this gone for a while?
Or tell me, what brought it to your attention?
I took pregnancy tests, multiple ones, and they all come back negative.
Right.
And then what happened from there?
Well, I can't be pregnant, but then I kept going without my period and going without my period.
And then all of a sudden, my period hit.
Oh, now that normally happens.
Was it really good?
Was it a light one?
Let me tell you, it was the worst period I've had.
Oh, dear.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
It just sounds like a phone call.
Oh, okay.
I feel bad for her.
How did she milk that for 40 minutes?
It really went on for a while.
Do you reckon you could talk about yours for 40 minutes, Jenna,
if we gave you a challenge?
I couldn't even talk about it for 40 seconds, honestly.
Go on.
Let's see if you can do it.
Get a 40-second timer, I should say.
Yep.
All right, Jenna, I'm starting.
Periods.
For me, it's very uncomfortable.
I'd rather not have it.
That's why I despise males, because they don't get it.
30 seconds left.
It's just so, so, like I said before, uncomfortable
and just such a pain to deal with.
And even sleeping with it, it's just so annoying.
I can't stand having them.
That's all I've got to say on this matter about periods.
Thank you so much for listening and I hope you feel the same way.
Or just tell me how you feel.
You can feel differently.
That's totally fine.
But that's how I feel.
Okay, time's up.
Time's up.
Yeah, that's tough.
Maybe we're giving Michelle not enough credit.
That's a tough thing to do.
Like, that's actually a skill.
Talk about your period for 40 minutes.
100%.
Yeah.
Anyway, this next one is my favourite.
Is it just me?
It's by Lady in the Pain.
And the way that they describe Lady and the Pain.
You might think it's a duo, like a breakfast show, Lady and the Pain.
Lady and the Pain, yeah.
It's one person.
Lady and the Pain is one person.
Anyway.
Oh.
Yeah, yes.
I'll let them describe what their show's about.
Yeah, go on.
Good song.
Groovy.
What's up, everybody?
Let me introduce myself.
I'm the lady and the pain.
And I made this podcast to test the collective tomfoolery.
Or to see if it's really just me.
Because, you know, it might just be me.
You know, you never know.
Yeah.
Now, try to stay with me as I navigate through my thoughts on life.
I'm trying.
Liberty.
And the pursuit to get everybody to mind their business.
Yeah.
I don't think I know everything.
I barely know myself quite as it's kept.
Ready?
I like the title.
But I got a brain, a mouth, and a microphone.
Yeah.
I'm going to share my perspective.
Yes.
How good is that?
She's my favorite so far.
Isn't that good?
What's her name?
Lady in the Pain.
She's the Lady in the Pain.
I like her.
I don't quite understand how that works, but she's the Lady in the Pain.
She's fantastic.
And what is it?
I've got a brain, I've got a mouth, and I've got a microphone.
I like that.
That is a good tag.
I love it.
That's good merch.
She's marketing herself well.
We've got most of those things.
All right, this is the, we've got a last couple now.
We have to get through already.
God, there's actually so many.
And this isn't even all of them.
No, there's so fucking many.
I love that all of them made the same mistake that we made.
Not one of them searched the podcast name to check if it was already taken.
Yeah.
We didn't do that.
No.
No, they didn't.
There are way too many itchums.
Anyway, this next one is pure nothing.
They didn't intro the podcast.
It's almost as if they started
recording on an airplane and they were discussing in-flight magazine it makes no sense there's no
host name there's one episode and it's just this have a listen and i remember feeling telling um
crystal i was like yo this liquor tastes whack this all you can drink i was like this tastes
like some type of medicine it's not right it's not alcohol and you don't because you don't feel anything it just tastes
like bitter chemical yeah like a few couples diet and that's a throwback name yeah it is
yeah now usually...
It's not her.
Now, again, a true smoker we see,
they're like, oh, you messed up the drink.
That made no sense.
I barely caught a word of that.
Did she take some medicine, didn't like it?
Or did she take alcohol and it tasted like medicine?
Alcohol that tasted like it.
And it started like that.
Yes, that's how it starts.
That's how the episode started.
Yes, it is.
Makes no sense.
That's Is It Just Me.
Go have a look.
That artwork is truly awful.
Show me.
It just looks like, it's this red scribble.
Oh.
Theirs is called Is It Just Me or with three R's.
Yes.
And dot, dot, dot.
True.
Now, we're moving into a little bit different territory because this last one isn't by Is
It Just Me?
It is slightly similar.
The podcast is called Am I High or Is It Just Me?
Oh, I like that.
A little bit different, but I thought 80% similar.
Are they high?
Well, that's the thing.
It's not really about them being high doing the show.
I'll let them explain it for you because it's not what I thought it was going to be.
Stone of Ives so far hey everyone i'm nikki and this is my podcast each week i'll share the random conversations either with myself or others or we can all enjoy the weird so my sister in all of her
baby pictures looked absolutely stoned she was either passed out drooling on whatever furniture she was on
or that was just her face.
It had me thinking along with many other clues
that maybe it just runs in the family
because the thoughts and actions that I've experienced
would definitely agree.
Time to make you question if I am high or is it just me?
It makes no sense.
No. What?
I don't know the tie into the baby sister.
She's just saying that her sister looks fucking blazed as a kid and she's gone must run in
the family because I feel like I'm cooked as well.
Right.
Right.
So now it's up to you.
Am I cooked or is it just me?
And that doesn't seem like there's much longevity in the show.
No.
That's probably three episodes max.
Besides, if we're asking that question, most people would say that we're probably cooked.
Yes, I'd say so.
This can't be right.
But the thing is, she's released one episode and nothing else.
Oh, so we really can't form a judgment if she's high or not.
No, Nikki Portch has just put one up.
Can you imagine what it would be like if we lived in somewhere like California where it's legal to smoke weed and we did the show back?
It wouldn't be good.
Could you think we could do the show high?
No.
No way.
It would just be like I become so gross.
Yeah.
Like I absolutely become ridiculous and I can't, you know,
I can barely string a sentence together now.
Yeah.
I mean, you've seen me.
It takes a lot to take me down, which is a problem because I'm really big.
So I need to have a lot. But then you toy the line of having too much and then I freak out and've seen me. It takes a lot to take me down, which is a problem because I'm really big. So I need to have a lot.
But then you toy the line of having too much and then I freak out and get really anxious.
And then I just start laughing at nothing.
Yes.
It wouldn't be good.
And then I get the munchies and I always have the munchies.
So it's like munchies on Max.
It's bad.
Yeah.
It's bad.
I get the munchies very bad.
Anyway, there is It Just Means that exists in the world.
So go and have a listen.
If you actually find one on your search and you think it's better than those, send it
through to us and we will play it on the show.
Yeah.
So it sounds like none of them are a real threat to us.
No.
No one's coming for our title, I don't think.
No.
In the period chat, very compelling, but I don't think they're going to knock us off
our number one title anytime soon.
I refuse to believe that Jenna couldn't speak about it for more than 40 seconds. I reckon if she really tried.
Jenna, you had to go into detail about
do you use pads or tampons?
Like, what's the most horrific one
you've experienced?
Did you ever take a pregnancy test?
No. What about alcohol tasting
like tablets? Like the one
we heard. Have you ever experienced that?
No.
Jenna really needs us, doesn't she?
That's what's becoming evident.
Yeah.
Well, did you hear the Jenna fling?
Oh, that was extraordinary.
It's hard to fucking edit it.
No, you did not.
I did.
I did.
I did.
A lot of editing involved.
You wish you edited it.
And Jenna was such a diva, Mitch.
I never told you that.
Edit this, cut this.
I'll make sure that doesn't make the final cut.
What guest have you booked?
Yeah, well, it was a great show.
It was a good show.
Did you have any guests?
I don't think you did.
Yeah, Sophie Monk, Brenna Allen from Puberty Blues.
Yes.
That's a random assortment anyway.
You did.
I did.
That is true.
I spoke to Brenna.
Yeah.
That's it.
What a great story, Jenna.

Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
Welcome to AD Debrief.
This is a secret segment on the end.
We pretend we're done and then keep talking.
Nothing's really planned in this bit.
Nothing at all.
Yeah.
That's why it's called AD Debrief.
A couple of people with ADD having a debrief.
They're just briefing.
A lot of tangents, that sort of thing.
Yeah, many tangents. A lot.
God, I could go a cuppa.
Really?
I'm starting to fade, yeah.
Are you?
Yeah.
I saw you post on your Facebook something about,
oh, my work from home girlies, how do you guys cope?
Is your mental, like, tact, I don't know what I'm trying to say,
has your mental ability, like, slowed from working full time
to working from home?
No, not in terms of, like, my work ethic and whatever,
but I've just noticed that I take less steps in a day
because I'm just at home.
I wake up, make a coffee, sit at my desk, do some work.
I don't do much.
And so I put on Facebook something about like,
oh, how do you stay active slash motivated?
Because, oh, I don't do many steps in a day.
It's real bad.
Really?
Yeah, one day I did 49.
Steps.
49 steps.
Oh my God.
What's the point of even counting them? My dad was like, oh, the phone fucking counts it. And I checked and. Oh, my God. What's the point of even counting them?
My dad was like, oh, the phone fucking counts it.
And I checked and I went, oh, God.
And my dad was like, I don't reckon I could only do 49 steps in a day if I try.
He goes, it will be harder for me to only do 49 steps.
How did you not do any more than that?
And I'm like, well, maybe it's because I don't have my phone with me all the time.
There were plenty of steps I did without the phone counting.
But, yeah, that's not good, is it?
So are there days you don't leave the house?
Yeah, like this particular day when I did the 49 steps.
I woke up.
I was a bit hungover.
I went and made a coffee, went to my desk, edited this podcast.
I don't think I got up other than going to the bathroom.
And then I did the Instagram live from that same desk at 6pm on the Sunday night when
the episode came out. And then I probably just went and watched TV.
Oh my God.
So there's not many steps in a day.
That's not every day.
No.
That's a one off.
But it's definitely less because there's little things like I don't have to walk to the car,
I don't have to walk into the office, I don't have to walk around.
So even this job when I worked here wasn't exactly active.
I wasn't doing heaps of steps but now I'm doing even less.
Fucking hell, yeah.
And everyone's like, go for a walk.
And I'm like, it just feels not productive going for a walk.
Like, I feel like, oh, I could be doing more in this time.
Oh, I love a walk.
I think you're either built, not built for walks, but you either, like, can get a lot out of a walk or not.
Hayden goes on runs to re-energize himself, to de-stress.
No, I've started doing that on my off-gym days.
I go for walks first thing, like get a coffee or whatever,
and I do definitely feel more energized.
But that's still not enough because it's like,
oh, I'm still not moving much.
Yeah, and I can't be one of those people that are so determined
to close their rings.
Like, I don't wear my Apple Watch anymore.
But the rings, you have Apple Watch, Jenna.
Yep.
The Apple Watch, like, gives you your move goal.
The move goal, yeah.
How much you've moved.
We spoke about this, like, two weeks ago.
Really?
Did we?
Yeah.
I forget.
I've closed my move ring.
Yeah.
367 days.
Oh.
What's the move ring?
It's.
Is it kilojoules?
I think it's calories.
Yeah.
But it's, if you, 300 calories a day or something.
But then also there's like exercise, which is the green ring and then the blue ring is
standing.
What's the difference between the blue and the green one?
The blue is standing, how many hours you've spent standing.
And then green is your exercise, like how many registered minutes of exercise have you done?
See, then even I don't reckon my rings would look any good because-
No, I've seen your rings.
I've got friends that have been very into your rings.
No, but I don't reckon my rings would be any good because even when I exercise, it's at the gym and a lot of it is sitting.
Yeah, right. But it still counts. gym and a lot of it is sitting. Yeah.
Right.
But it still counts.
It still counts in terms of the exercise one.
That's the thing I don't get about the Apple Watch.
It's like, do you want to register an outdoor swim?
How does the watch know that I'm doing a swim or going on a walk or a run or a jog?
Yeah.
Maybe I do need one of those bloody watches just to remind me to move more.
You can have mine.
I took mine off.
I don't wear it anymore.
I don't wear a watch.
I'm completely naked on the wrist. Again, we had this conversation two weeks ago and you're yet to give it to me. For the new mine. I took mine off. I don't wear it anymore. I don't wear a watch. I'm completely naked on the wrist.
Again, we had this conversation two weeks ago and you're yet to give it to me.
For the new listeners.
I said, yeah, give it.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
Jesus.
You did.
This is something like maybe two or three weeks ago.
Do we do a show every week?
Yeah.
At this point.
It was in the opener.
Oh, was it?
Yeah.
Must have been astral projecting.
I don't know what that means.
I just wasn't there.
Disassociating.
Oh, good.
Disassociating.
I'm glad you find me so engaging
No
I met a podcast
I didn't meet a podcast listener
But someone at the Hunter Valley
Said they loved the show
Oh cute
Well that would be a podcast listener
Wouldn't it
Yes yes
I do so many shows
So she could have been
Oh so
She didn't specify which show
No
She said I love your show
And I said oh thanks
I didn't want to be like
Which one
She's on the money
Is it the Life Uncut Radio show Is it my night show Is it the podcast show your show. And I said, oh, thanks. I didn't want to be like, which one? She's on the money. Is it the Lifetime Cut Radio show?
Is it my night show?
Is it the podcast show?
Too many shows.
So I said, thank you so much.
And someone else said, I saw someone else literally,
and they went, in the middle of Coles, they went, you're well known.
Not me, mate.
In the dairy section.
And they went, yeah, you are.
I went, no, I'm not.
And I went, I'm Mitch.
Cheery?
She went, oh, yeah, from Kiss.
She went, don't be so coy next time.
Just sign up to it.
And kept walking. I'm like, why was that such an aggressive experience? And go, yes, I'm Mitch. Cheering? She went, oh, yeah, from KISS. She went, don't be so coy next time. Just sign up to it. And kept walking.
I'm like, why was that such an aggressive experience?
And go, yes, I am well known.
Very well known.
There's fucking 500 milligrams of mortadella in my trolley.
Embarrassing.
All right, I was ranting once on Trash Alley saying that someone came up to him and said,
you're the TikTok guy.
Oh.
Can I get a photo?
And he was saying, oh, that is so weird that they got a photo
when they didn't know my name.
And I was like, oh, get over it.
Don't be so precious.
They just didn't remember your name, but they've seen your videos.
They enjoy you.
They wanted a photo.
But then it happened to me, that exact situation.
Someone goes, oh, my God.
Mind you, she was a drunk bitch on Oxford Street.
And I was like, oh, God.
She goes, oh, my God.
I know you.
I've seen your videos.
Can I get a photo?
And then I was like, yeah, no, he's right.
That feels really weird because it's like, how are you ever going to tag me?
Yes.
When you show people that you've got a photo with me, it's like, look who it is.
It's him.
There he is.
That's them.
You know their videos.
Yeah.
Very funny.
They didn't even know my name, but they wanted a photo.
It's a weird experience.
Have you noticed it happening more, more so as your profile gets bigger?
Well, it's only happened a couple of times, that exact situation.
Yeah, no, no, no.
But I actually met a podcast listener, or maybe they just watch our TikToks.
Yeah.
Because I ran into this guy at Universal and I ended up chatting to him for maybe 10, 15
minutes.
And quite a while into the conversation, he goes, I've just realised who you are.
I was like, what do you mean?
And he goes, yeah, I know who you are now. And I was like, why have you only just realised? And he goes, I don just realised who you are. I was like, what do you mean? And he goes, yeah, I know who you are now.
And I was like, why have you only just realised? And he goes,
I don't know. Maybe I was just blind.
Oh, wow.
That's really good.
I love that. So that's
how I knew. Yep, they've either seen the
video or they've listened to the podcast.
I was like, hi, darling. If you see us out in public,
make a reference like that. That's hilarious.
I love that. I want someone to go, you talk Wiggins?
That'd be funny.
That'd be very funny.
Did I tell a story about the bar a couple months ago?
Some bartender was there, and it was the same month as the election,
and they had an Albanese margarita and then a ScoMo Momo or something.
And I was like, these names are stupid.
And I go, and I wish I wanted to drink the Albo, but it looks rancid,
so I'm going to order the ScoMo, but I hate the man.
And I said that to the bartender. And he goes, no worries. Are you Mitch Turi? I go, and I wish I wanted to drink the Alba, but it looks rancid, so I'm going to order the ScoMo, but I hate the man. And I said that to the bartender. And he goes,
no worries. Are you Mitch Turi? I go, yeah. And he goes, I love your podcast. Is it just
me? And I go, oh, thank you so much. He goes, this drink's on the house. And I go, thank
you. I couldn't possibly. He went, okay. And then gave me a paper.
Yeah, you've also told that story.
Yeah, I'm like, fucking hell! So if you're listening, you're busted. You should have
pushed back once more.
Yes.
Yeah. He said, no, once more. Yes. Yeah.
No, I insist.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, it's getting bad, Jenny.
Recycling stories.
I know.
Sometimes we have conversations on this podcast and I'm like, I think we have spoken about
this in the early, early days, but it's been long enough.
Whatever.
We'll do it again.
But that was fucking like two or three weeks ago.
I think that was last week.
Nah, it wasn't last week.
I've got a fresh story.
Hayden and I went on e-bikes.
And oh my God, the jackets.
You guys heard of Yeezy, right?
Yeah.
I've got something fresh we can talk about.
I'm going to the Logies this week.
And actually when this episode is airing, I'll be-
By the way, sorry.
Backtracking to the Yeezy thing.
Missed opportunity for a mispronunciation.
What do they call it?
Yossi.
Like I said before.
Oh, sorry.
I can feel the snozz coming on.
Oh, yeah.
You can hear the wind blowing through the beautiful trozz.
Anthony Albinossi.
It's just the opportunities are endless.
Yeah.
You can't think of anything.
No, I can.
I'm just trying to work out how I can call Jenna a sleaze.
Slozz. A Slozz. Yeah, you're a Slozz. A Slozz. You're a Slozz. You know my favourite? You can't think of anything No I can I'm just trying to work out How I can call Jenna A sleaze Sloth A sloth

That was a misfinanciation
Waiting to happen?
I'm an idiot.
But they were country people that rent a small little vineyard.
I'm not going to laugh in their face.
Yeah, you're right.
I couldn't have done that.
I should have recorded it.
Yossi.
Yossi.
Get a grip.
And he's Kittle Dorfel in my jacket.
When you were at the wine tasting, did they give you a chos platter?
They did, yeah.
It was really nice.
God, it's frzzing in here.
Yeah. Fucking hell. He's a bit brozzy.
That actually does work. That does work, don't you?
Yeah, yeah. Oh, shit!
I forgot to take my
meat out. Oh, no.
Of the what? Frozza.
Frozza.
God, listen to you.
Oh, you're wazzing. I was just about to do it.
Oh, was that the...
It wasn't a set up, but it hit me.
Oh, dear.
Oh, it's just too wazzy.
Easy.
I got a beautiful sweet and sour pork from the bowling club Chinos.
See, the other is it just me's could never do this, could they? We're the Boz Noz. Well, they're the is it just me's Could never do this

How's your cat doing, Jenna?
I heard she had flaws
Yeah
How's your mum?
Good
Everything?
Yeah
Everything alright with her two nos?
The what?
She had a nos replacement surgery.
That's nose.
No, knees.
Oh.
Knees?
I already said bosnos with the bees knees.
Oh, shit.
I did bees.
I got confused.
Yeah, that's a good mispronunciation.
We haven't had a good one in a while.
No, we have not.
I mean, this was pretty.
This was better than the last one.
I couldn't get my head around the last one we did.
You get too brain dead. I do. I was pretty. This was better than the last one. I couldn't get my head around the last one we did. You get too brain dead.
I do.
I get confused.
There's a lot to think about.
If they pop up, sure.
But I don't want to do them anymore.
If they're organic, let's do them.
Yeah.
Makes it funnier.
I'm at the Logies.
Who should you challenge me?
I want to be challenged to get a selfie with.
You get one person each.
Patty Newton.
Okay.
So Mitch wants me to get a photo with Patty Newton.
Has to be.
Do you think she'll...
Actually, we discussed this last week and I remember it because Bert's got the new award.
So I think you're right.
Patty will be there.
Yeah.
I don't want to creep up on her though because she might think Bert's back from the dead.
Especially if I'm in a black tux.
Too much hair.
Yeah, you're right.
You'll be fine.
Jenna, who?
You have to pick.
Think about it.
I'm going to request Tracy Grimshaw.
Oh, shit.
I reckon she'd be approachable.
She'd hug energy, mind you.
I've interviewed her, but it's only been ever on Zoom.
I don't think there'd be that recall.
It doesn't matter if she remembers you or not.
Just go get a photo.
I'm a big fan.
Oh, I know what I'll say.
Can I practice, Mitch?
Yeah.
Am I Tracy?
Yeah, you're Tracy and I'm me. Oh, just park what I'll say. Can I practice, Mitch? Yeah. Am I Tracy? Yeah, you're Tracy and I'm me.
Oh, just park it around the corner.
Sorry, my horse is around the corner.
Beautiful rare Shetland.
It's there for 10 more minutes.
Hey, Tracy.
She loves horses.
She does love her horses.
Oh, God, you're so bad with socialising.
You don't just pretend you have a horse to find common ground.
I'd hire a horse.
No, you just ask her how's your horse.
Okay.
God.
That's what I say to Paddy.
You bitch, check your DMs.
Oh, my God, I dare you to ask her to check her DMs.
Because the most recent one was Paddy cake, Paddy cake.
Oh, no, maybe it was, oh, we have all the ingredients for a good burger.
You've got the cheese, you've got the lettuce, but you can't have a burger without the patty.
And that's like our podcast.
We're missing the patty.
I don't even remember that.
Yeah.
All right.
Done.
Yay.
Having a good memory isn't your area of expertise.
No, it's definitely not.
No, it's not.
That's a good one
No, I have a brain illness
Anyway
You have a brain-to-zoz
That's awful
Oh my god
It's true, you do
Get this
I went to get a brain MRI the other day
Yeah
And I get there
And I get my gown
And to get an MRI bulk build
It's so fucking hard
And for people out there with a chronic illness
I really empathise with you
Because it's a tough gig
You've got to pay so much money
and to get it covered by Medicare,
your doctor has to write
a very specific phrase in the referral.
So I've got Chiari malformation, I get
shocking migraines, and I called
a friend of mine who works in a radiology clinic. She went,
alright, he has to say, chronic, unresolved
migraines, spinal
radiculopathy. And she's like, I know it
means nothing, but... Say that 10 times in a row quickly.
Right?
I go, get them to write that and it will be good.
So he writes it, I send it through, and then I get there.
She goes, it's $700.
I go, no, no, have you read the referral?
She went, yeah, you need to have chronic daily migraines.
And I'm like, fuck off.
So then I call my GP and he adds it.
And I go in, so it's such a headache, literally.
And I get in, and I'm in the gown with my butt facing backwards.
And the lady goes.
Oh, fuck.
I hate those.
Oh, it's so bad.
And she's going, I just want to clarify your weight.
This is your weight?
I go, yeah.
She went, unfortunately, you were three kilos over the machine's capacity and we will not
be able to get you in.
What?
And I'm not going to say my word.
But they guaranteed that they MRI horses.
Yes.
I know.
I know.
What the fuck?
I know.
I was so upset. What? And she goes, I know this is really awkward. And then I know! I know! What the fuck? I know, I was so upset. What?
And she goes, I know this is really awkward.
And then I was really mad. I'm like, you wouldn't think you'd
tell, ask someone their weight on the phone.
She went, we want to avoid embarrassing people.
I go, well, I'm in a fucking gown
with my ass cracked. Well, you haven't nailed that.
So then I have to walk out, get changed.
I'm so pissed. Anyway, finally on Friday, I got my
MRI. And then I was like, do you have a weight
limit? And they're like, no, we got to 200 kilos.
I'm like, thank fuck.
Not that I'm close to 200, but it was very good.
So I got the MRI done and I put the gown on Mitch and I was like standing in the hallway
ready to go.
And the radiologist comes up and they go, you've got the gown the wrong way around.
What do you mean?
And they go, you did not.
They go, you've got the gown the wrong way around.
You had the slit at the front so you could see your cock.
My dick was out.
How did you not know?
No, I'm not getting a prostate MRI.
I'm getting a brain MRI.
And then he goes, actually, you know what?
Leave it like that.
And I go, oh, okay.
And he goes, we've got to put heart probes on you anyway,
so it'll actually be easier for us.
I go, cool.
So I'm walking like Porky Pig and I walk into the MRI, lie down and the slit, you know,
you lie down, gravity pulls it off.
So I was butt naked except in undies and it was a freezing cold MRI room.
So shrinkage was to a max.
So he's putting these probes on me and then midway through the MRI, the machine breaks.
Have you ever had an MRI?
I think so.
Is that the one where you go in there?
Yeah, it's like a donut.
Like it lowers you in there?
Yes. Yeah, no, I've done that before. It's like a ring.
Had that for my fucking appendix. Oh, yeah,
you would have, yeah. Well, this brain MRI
was 30 minutes on the brain, 30 minutes on the
spine, and they do it in one hit. So an hour in
the donut. What? Hell.
With that noise. And this is what an MRI sounds like, for those
who haven't. Actually, you know what? I'm going to get it up on YouTube
because... No, do your impression. I want to see how accurate
it is. Let's compare it. Good, that's a very good point.
So this is how it goes.
That's the MRI machine.
I don't remember being that intense.
Really?
For an hour?
And my brain, I went crazy by the end.
I was making music.
I felt like Diplo.
I was like, I'd put a hard hat there, maybe Maren Morris on the vocals.
Okay.
Now I need you to bring it up on YouTube because I want to know how accurate that was considering
that you had to ride a bike in pitch black.
Yes.
It's possible you're full of shit.
Here it is.
MRI sounds inside scan room.
We'll see how it goes.
That's not it.
That's the music.
Here we go.
You are right on top of it.
Skip a bit further in.
I want to see if the noise changes.
Oh. Oh.
Okay, for once you were under-exaggerating.
Wait.
A horse.
And it doesn't stop.
Yeah, we get it.
Sorry.
It sounds like my dad in the back shed, like, working on the tool.
It's really uncomfortable.
And because I'm a big guy, you go in the tube,
and my nose is maybe four or five centimetres from the cylinder,
so you feel like you're in a coffin.
Shit.
Jenna, you've done what that's like.
Yeah.
You've had both, haven't you?
I have.
Yes.
Both.
And then they went,
Mitchell, sorry, the machine is having problems.
We're going to have to move you.
So then they pull me out.
I get up, my little dicklet's out.
And then I got to waddle over to the new machine and it was hell.
Oh.
And then after all that, did they go, yeah, you're fine.
I don't have the results yet, but you'd think they'd call me if it was deathly.
Yeah, they would.
You'd hope so.
Yep.
Yeah.
I did see a TikTok though before going in.
I think my phone knew that I was getting an MRI and it was like, I'm a radiographer and
I've seen brain tumors and the hardest thing in my job is not telling the client.
I'm like, shit.
Not telling them?
Yeah, because the person that watches you do the MRI and gets a brain scan, they would
know what cancer looks like.
Oh, like when they're then and they're doing the scan.
But they're not doctors.
They just run the room.
So they see it and they send it to the doctor who will diagnose and give you the.
But if you've got a brain tumor, this poor staff member would know.
Why do they find that hard?
I feel like that would be great.
You don't have to do the hard work.
Or do they have this urge when they leave the room to go, yeah, you got it.
No, because you've got, you make a bond with them.
You get them in their little gown and you offer them a drink and you tell them what's going to happen.
You put their heart probes on.
You know, you make a little connection for an hour with someone.

I'd be thrilled if I didn't have to do that part.
Yeah, but knowing that they then have to go home and wait for results
and they're nervous.
Imagine that.
You have to be so careful with your words.
Yeah, you got it.
Ha!
No, no, you got the referral.
It's in the email.
God. That'd be really referral. It's in the email. God.
That'd be really bad.
That's sad.
No, I'd be happy to get out of that part.
God.
Yeah, that'd be tough.

or just warm affirmations or
a nice hug. I was respectful enough

Do you think I could have done the show from home?
I know how to press the buttons.
Yeah, but not like I do.
