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.
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 Chooley and Mitchell Coombs.
Well, hello, everybody.
Hello, Mitchell.
Hello.
Hello, idiots.
Welcome back.
Here we are.
Happy birthday.
Oh, don't.
This is for 2023.
I just then set the record straight that I've done it early.
Oh, God. I wasn't going to bring it up then set the record straight that I've done it early. Oh, God.
I wasn't going to bring it up.
Now you're just like reopening the wound.
That is the past.
What lives in the past is in the past.
Although you did bring all the cupcakes that we bought you to eat today.
We're running on cupcakes.
They taste like guilt, don't they?
They really do.
I felt guilty doing my own make good gift.
If you missed last week's podcast, Jenna and Mitch forgot about my birthday.
And then I got all these presents sent and it's so much sugar and I'm trying to be good.
So it's just come full circle.
I brought it back in and been like, here you go.
Do you want some cakes?
No, Prize Keeper Jenna's here.
Hi, Jenna.
Hello.
Did you know that Mitch was in his diet era?
I didn't realise.
No, I didn't.
Oh, good to know it's paying off then.
No one can tell the difference.
No, you look great.
You look really good.
I'm joking.
I literally only started the diet last week, which is dumb on my behalf.
I just forgot that birthdays are pretty indulgent. Yeah, birthday's Christmas. Why did I start last week. You look really good. I'm joking. I literally only started the diet last week, which is dumb on my behalf. I just forgot that birthdays are pretty indulgent.
Yeah, birthdays, Christmas.
Why did I start last week?
No, you are looking good.
Do you reckon you'll change the hair up?
What do you mean?
Like, do you reckon you'll cut?
I feel like gays go through cycles, because Hayden at the moment is going through a,
I want to do something rebellious.
He wants to go bleached and shave the sides.
Are you in?
Do you go through those periods?
Not really.
I'm just, I'm going to make the long hair last as long as I can until it gets to a point where it's creepy.
I know I've said it before.
What do you mean?
Well, because I can get away with having long hair now because it's like, oh, he's in his 20s.
He's indie.
Oh, millennials.
You know what I mean?
But I feel like, imagine me in my 50s and I've got long grey hair.
It's a bit seedy, isn't it?
Yeah, unless you own a library or an art curator.
Old men with long hair, terrifying.
But then I feel like it comes back again.
Like an old man in his 70s with long hair.
That's kind of rock star.
I love that.
Yeah, true.
So will you be able to have that hair?
Just keep it in a bag and then glue it on.
Well, my dad's got a pretty good head of hair on him still.
And he's in his 50s.
So maybe.
I reckon I've got good genes on my side apart from the fucking receding hairline.
You don't have a receding hairline.
Yeah.
I never used to think I did until I started posting videos on TikTok and everyone's like,
man, look at the five head.
I thought this was normal to have the hairline go back a bit.
What's five head?
As in like more than forehead.
That's very creative.
I can fit five fingers on my forehead.
Oh, anyone could do that.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah.
I can fit five fingers.
You actually can't.
You've got four fingers on your forehead.
I've got ethnic roots.
What about yours, Jenna?
Four fingers on the forehead?
Oh, Jenna, put a foot up.
Fuck off!
I actually do have a five head by comparison to you two.
I can fit five fingers there.
Literally, yeah.
But don't worry about it.
When someone points something out, God, that gives you a complex.
My sister said I had Patricia Arquette teeth.
Who's that?
I actually mentioned this on the live.
Patricia Arquette from Medium.
Oh, is that the one I googled?
She's got the real snaggle tooth that goes inwards.
Yeah, but they're cute.
There's nothing wrong with that.
She said, I've got teeth that go in.
I look like the Medium.
You don't.
I've never noticed that.
Thank you.
See, that's what I mean.
I've never noticed your receding hairline.
It's like we don't know that Jenna's a bad BO.
Oh, I noticed.
We've all got one.
Well, I never thought that her tits weren't big enough pre-boob job, but then she had
to go and alter that.
Did you see her walloping around today showing before and after photos?
They look good.
Someone actually messaged me and said,
is it true that Jenna got a boob job?
It just doesn't seem like something she'd do.
And I'm like, well, like a lot of things,
we tried to just spread the rumour that she got a boob job
instead of a gum graft.
We're like, oh, yeah, we've got to take two weeks off.
Jenna's getting a tit job. You know what's funny, though? And then she ruined the joke by running with it. She's like, yeah, a boob job instead of a gum graft. We're like, oh, yeah, we've got to take two weeks off. Jenna's getting a tit job.
You know what's funny, though.
And then she ruined the joke by running with it.
She's like, yeah, my boob job.
I'm like, fuck, Jenna.
You should have fought it off.
Yeah, it's meant to be, what?
No, it's a gum graft.
Stop it.
I just assumed everyone knew it was a gum graft and it was a joke.
We never mentioned gum graft.
How would they know?
The funniest part is a gum graft is actually funnier than a tit job
because it's Jenna.
Did they invent that
procedure for you, Jenna?
I reckon they did because I've never heard of it.
They went, fuck, we don't really know what to do with you. Give her a gum graft?
She's like, I've got money to spend.
What are we getting done?
Apparently they did it in her service suite.
That's part of the service.
Mobile gum graft. They come to your house.
It's like the dog grooming stations though. You know how the dogs come to the house? You've got to walk out to a van and they do it in the van of the service. Mobile gum graft. Mobile gum graft. They come to your house. It's like the dog grooming stations, though.
You know how the dogs come to the house?
You've got to walk out to a van, and they do it in the van out the side of the house.
I don't own a dog, so I've never had to do that.
Actually, I've got an announcement to make.
Don't tell me.
Oh, my God.
You and Hayden are going to be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet?
Is it happening?
Four feet.
Four little feet.
Brown feet. Is it going to be feet. Four little feet. Brown feet.
Is it going to be a tiny dog? We're getting a dog.
Well, we want to get a dog. We've
officially started the research
phase. Actually, we're past the research phase. We know
what kind of dog we want. Guess, actually. Throw breeds
at me because I reckon you can tell
the type of breed
that someone will pick based on their personality.
Cavoodle. Oh, I've got a Cavoodle
at my family home. That's incorrect. Jenny, you're now out and your mic is? Cavoodle. Oh, I've got a Cavoodle at my family home.
That's incorrect.
Jenny, you're now out and your mic is off for the show.
Oh, no.
I don't know, actually.
I can't tell based off someone's personality what sort of dog they'd want.
Maybe.
No, I'm way off.
I was going to say Kelpie.
You wouldn't get that.
No.
What's a Kelpie?
It's more of a farm dog sort of thing. Oh, no, no, no.
I would love a Kelpie.
Oh, they're short hair ones, are they?
Yeah, no. Okay, Hayden and I are looking at getting a Cocker Span thing. Oh, no, no, no. I would love a Kelpie. Oh, they're short hair ones, are they? Yeah, no.
Okay, Hayden and I are looking at getting a Cocker Spaniel.
Of course you are.
I won't make the joke, but it's just staring at me, the joke.
Well, you know.
A couple of guys getting a Cocker Spaniel.
Typical.
Better than getting a Himalayan anal dog, which we did look at.
Expensive.
Very expensive to import.
Anyway, we're looking, and I was talking to Abby Chatfield,
who I'm not allowed to say on my radio show.
God forbid my boss would kill me.
Because we're competitors.
You mentioned her name.
Yeah, seriously.
But I was talking to her because I'm like,
will I be cancelled if I get a dog from a breeder rather than a rescue dog?
Maybe not by the general public, but I'll certainly think less of you.
Adopt, don't shop.
As will I.
Do not buy from a breeder. But how do you adopt
a cute puppy? There's
plenty of rescue places. I'm going to go
on the exact website
that I got Isabella from. Yeah. And then
I'll go to the dog section and you tell me
you look into their eyes and tell me that they're not
gorgeous. What's the website? Can I get it up on the
studio screens? Maggie's Rescue.
It's up. Let's have a look at some dogs.
Wow, we really should have planned this. I didn't talk about this off the air,? Maggie's Rescue. Yeah, it's up. Let's have a look at some dogs. Wow, we really should have planned this.
I didn't talk about this off the air,
but let's have a look at some dogs.
Go up to the top where it says Act and then go Adopt.
Oh, that looks like Isabella.
Shit.
Go down.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, here we go.
Look at Lola.
Isn't she gorgeous?
Lola looks cute, but a bit big.
We'd like a puppy.
Oh, look at Socks.
Oh, look at Jimmy. Oh, I'm tearing up. I hate look at Socks. Oh, look at Jimmy.
Oh, I'm tearing up.
I hate looking at little animals for sale.
Look at Beau.
The description is a buffy bundle of love.
Oh, he's good.
What about Maya and Liam?
They come as a package deal, apparently.
Two is a lot, but I do like the look of Maya.
The little scruffy one.
Is that all they've got?
Oh, no, they don't have more than one page.
They must just have four dogs, which is good.
I mean, you don't want many.
They've got quite a few cats. Hercules. Oh, Yin looks they don't have more than one page. They must just have four dogs, which is good. I mean, you don't want many. They've got quite a few cats.
Hercules.
Oh, Yin looks like Isabella.
Yeah, why are you getting a dog instead of a cat?
They're so much easier.
I'm not a cat person.
Like, you've got enough going on in your life.
You don't need a fucking dog.
No, my theory is I want a dog and that's it.
I don't have a theory.
Okay, well, I'll be practical because I thought I was a dog person,
but then realistically, well, now it would have
been fine, but at the time when I was still working, I was
like, I need something that can just stay at home and look after
itself, keep itself alive. And I don't want to take
it for walks. I was the exact same.
I didn't think I was a cat person until I
got Connie. Yeah, well Hayden
and I have... Go to the puss section, have a brow.
Not on the work Wi-Fi.
Hayden and I have different hours. He's home all day, and I'm
home, and then he's home all night, I'm home allden and I have different hours. He's home all day and I'm home and then he's home all night,
I'm home all day because we have different hours.
Look at Muffin.
As if you don't want Muffin, the cat.
Oh, look at Meg.
Oh, I've got to stop looking at these because I'm going to want to adopt them all.
And foster care.
Look at that suburb, Mitchell.
Oh, my God, they're in my suburb.
Get fucked.
Oh, my God.
It's a belly.
You've got a brother and a sister now.
You could not do three cats.
She'd hate it. If anyone I am open to adopting, in fact, It's a belly. You've got a brother and a sister now. You could not do three cats. She'd hate it.
If anyone, I am open to adopting.
In fact, I want to adopt.
So if anyone has a gorgeous little, what did I say?
Dog breed.
Cocker spaniel.
Cocker spaniel.
Thank you for reminding me.
I want one.
Anyway, if it's your first time listening to the show, hi, everybody.
This is just me.
Every week we read out the local animals.
We do it every single week.
And this week was so much fun.
V and Victor.
That was gorgeous.
We start the show the same way every week.
With two Is It Just Me?
Something we've noticed.
Something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
I don't know Mitch's.
And coming up, we're going to be talking about later in the show, the end of Neighbours.
Oh, God.
I'm a bit shattered it's gone.
A piece of my heart went with that show.
For those who don't know, for the international listeners, Neighbours is the people that live
either side of you in a house.
Oh, God.
But it's also a hit TV show that's ran for 40 years in this country.
I'd be shocked if even the internationals didn't know about Neighbours.
Doesn't everyone know?
The UK love it, right?
If it weren't for Neighbours, you wouldn't have Margot Robbie.
Yeah, or Chris Hemsworth.
He was on Home and Away.
Or Kylie Minogue.
True.
Or Delta Goodrum.
True.
It's like an institution.
You'd get to murder one of those people.
Oh, dear.
Kylie, she's lived a great life.
Hey.
She's given us all that she could.
Delta's got so much more to give.
Delta's done.
Kylie's done.
How very dare you?
She lives in Brunswick, for God's sake.
Get a grip.
Anyway, we'll get back to that later.
Delta lives in Cremorne.
Yes, so Neighbours is over.
So we're going to take a little trip down memory lane.
I've got a Neighbours game that we're going to play, the two of you.
You two have to play.
Mitch, do you want to go first with the original or shall I?
What should we do?
I don't mind.
Do you want me to go first?
I can.
I'll go first.
It's been a while.
I'm going to be generous today.
How is that?
No.
That's you pushing in.
Piece of shit.
Is that how that works?
Yeah.
No, I know I've got enemies.
No, I'll start.
I'll start.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Is it just me or?
Does Kim Kardashian currently being in Australia fill you with glee?
No.
No.
Oh, I love it.
I forgot she was.
No.
I thought she'd left. No, I'm chomped. Maybe. I don't know,lee. No. No. Oh, I love it. I forgot she was. No. I thought she'd left.
No, I'm chomping.
Maybe.
I don't know, but she's been here.
Was she in Sydney the other day when Pete Davidson, her root, was spotted walking around
Sydney?
No, she was in far north Queensland, tropical area.
Why didn't she come with him to Sydney?
She's too famous to be in Sydney.
She'd be swarmed.
Far north Queensland.
What's a crocodile going to do?
Ask for a selfie?
She was in far north Queensland in Cairns.
And this dates back to when I was a kid.
Whenever there was a celebrity in town, I think I got it from my mum,
it was like they're in my country.
They're breathing the same air as me.
There's nothing about it.
Like when I saw that Katy Perry, for the same reason,
her root Orlando Bloom.
You can say partner.
I don't know what their status is.
I don't know if they're engaged or what.
I can't remember. They've got a child. You'd hope so. Oh, yeah. So her root. Her root Orlando Bloom and Kim's say partner. I don't know what their status is. I don't know if they're engaged or what. I can't remember.
They've got a child.
You'd hope so.
Oh, yeah.
So her route.
Yeah.
Her route, Orlando Bloom and Kim's route, Pete Davidson.
They're here for the same reason, working on the same film, aren't they?
Yes.
Well, Orlando.
On Wizards.
Yeah.
You didn't get the role for that.
Wizards?
Jenna didn't get the role.
Scheduling conflicts.
The fuck is Wizards?
Is that like the home brand version of fucking Harry Potter?
Wizards.
What a shit name.
They could have done so much better.
Yeah, did they not put that in testing?
Anyway.
I don't know.
When I saw on Daily Mail that Katy Perry had touched down in Sydney,
I did get that, oh, my God, she's in my airport.
Yes.
It wasn't there for long.
She just got in a private jet and fucked off to Queensland.
Well, it's like you're feeling the weather
and they're also feeling the same weather that you're feeling.
If I farted, she might smell it.
Yes.
Not the same thought, but yes, that's the same theory.
So Kim and Pete have been in final-
Can you take the cats off the screen?
Yeah, to make me sad.
I wondered why Jenna was sobbing.
They're just staring into our cell going, please adopt me.
They're gone.
I just think I get a kick out of celebs being down under.
And they couldn't come for so long because of COVID.
So they're here.
But did you see this, right?
A Queensland cafe manager posted the receipt of the meal
that Kim and Pete ordered online.
What did she order?
Okay, here we go.
This is what I got.
This is Kim's order.
They ordered four caprese salads.
The fuck's a caprese salad?
It's like tomato, the cheese, and then basil.
Very simple.
Very Kim K.
Yeah, right.
Why do they need four of them?
And it's only two of them, right? Yes. Yeah simple. Very Kim K. Yeah, right. Why do they need four of them? That's what I thought.
And it's only two of them, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
They got two shishiatatas.
Where the fuck are Kimberley's children?
Good point.
Surely she didn't leave them with Kanye.
No, she got too many of them.
She got two bruschettas, which I feel like you'd love a bruschetta, Mitch.
Two entree truffle arancinis.
Oh, yes.
I'm sorry.
This is too much.
This is a lot of food.
It sounds like she's just ordering finger food for herself.
Like what she'd pick off the platter.
Good point.
They got the calamari entree.
Just one of those.
A bit full.
Quattro formaggi pizza they got.
Then they got two margherita pizzas, a fettuccine carbonara, a gnocchi, and then a pesco, then
the scallopini, and then three Nutella pizzas.
Okay.
There's no way that was just them eating.
Surely. It wouldn't surprise me if that was just them eating. Surely.
It wouldn't surprise me if they just wanted one piece of each.
Did you hear what you just said though?
Four margarita pizzas, Nutella pizzas and four salads?
Like there's no way they had all that to themselves.
It would have been a little dinner party sort of thing.
And why would you choose three Nutella pizzas?
I reckon Kimberley did not touch the Nutella pizza at all.
Everyone else ordered that.
She didn't want any.
And she would have had two of the salads. Pete would have wanted the Nutella pizza at all. Everyone else ordered that. She didn't want any. And she would have had two of the salads.
Pete would have wanted the Nutella pizza.
Listen, it's in cans.
They ordered from Piccolo Chuchina in cans.
And I've got their number.
I'm going to call them and see if it's bullshit or not.
What?
Why?
I want to see if it's real.
Oh, all right.
If Kim farted or, you know.
I wonder how many of these calls they've gotten.
Probably none because no other podcaster is as genius as us.
But also, it's long enough after it, maybe they'll be willing, you know?
Yeah.
True.
Are you being dot or just yourself?
Should I be dot?
I don't give a fuck.
Up to you.
I'll be myself.
No, because I don't want to scare them.
Piccolo Kachina, Grace speaking.
Hello, Grace.
My name's Mitch.
I'm calling from the iHeartRadio podcast.
We're recording now.
I just want to know, did you have any FaceTime with Kim and Pete when they were in town the
other week?
No.
You didn't see them?
No.
Is that the hundredth call you've gotten asking?
The thousandth.
Oh, shit.
I'm so sorry.
Well, I will ask how good your Nutella pizza is then, just to change the round of the question.
Is it good?
It's the best in town.
Yeah.
According to Kim?
Ask her.
Ah, got her number.
All right.
Did they tip well?
They tipped okay.
Only okay.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Okay, quickly.
It definitely wasn't as hefty as people thought it, think it would be.
Oh, wow.
Okay, thank you so much.
Thanks for being on the show.
See ya.
What a sweetheart.
She sounded fed up, didn't she?
She was over it.
Oh, God.
But that's an exclusive.
I'm going to get TMZ on that.
What part?
That they didn't tip as well as everyone thought they did.
They're stingy, aren't they?
If you're that rich, fucking tip.
Throw in a diamond ring or a toe ring or something, you know.
Anyway, that's my investigation.
I reckon she wouldn't have gotten much face time with Pete in particular
because he would have been out in the crèche.
As the fucking infant that he is.
Or down in her crotch.
Very active, those two.
One of those rooms, the rumpus rooms, playing a PlayStation.
You know how some pubs have that?
He was at Kids Club.
He was in the ball pit.
They were staying at the Novotel and he put her at the Kids Club.
All right.
That's me done.
You ready, Mitchell?
Yep.
Let's go.
Is it just me or?
Why do we keep giving Mel B jobs?
Hayden said this the other day.
Did he?
Yes.
Okay, because he's a big Spice Girls fan.
He is.
And I thought if anyone's going to be offended, it's your gay facto Hayden.
Yeah, well, partner, I asked him this question.
I'm like, why?
This is so funny.
I seriously said, why of all the Spice Girls is Mel B getting all the work?
I don't know.
And he said because she's got the best personality, apparently.
Yeah, she must be easy to work with and she just does what she's told on these talent shows.
Because I'm like, I don't know.
I don't dislike her.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm missing something.
Is there something I'm not getting?
Yeah, I like her on a show.
I feel like she's open to doing anything.
Yeah, and it's great, honestly.
Let's just have a little look at her resume, okay?
And this is just in Australia.
Oh, shit, just locally?
Yeah.
Fuck, all right.
So she was on X Factor first.
I remember that.
Good show.
Yeah, and then she replaced Sonia Kruger on Dancing
with the Stars, which was
appalling. As a judge? As a host.
As a host? I don't remember that.
She was the one backstage interviewing
them after they came off the dance floor.
Oh, what a low blow for Mel.
It was because she probably didn't even know who the fucking stars
that had just been dancing were.
She's ten times more famous than any of them.
Can't wait to hear her interview with Shezzy Denya.
Yeah, I know, right?
That's exactly the sort of thing that would have been happening.
And she's like, I don't know who these people are.
And then during that period, there was fucking Jenny Craig ads being shoved down her throat
with her on it.
She did look good.
If she did it, who knows?
But she looked hot.
Oh, yeah.
I do remember the difference was pretty drastic, wasn't it?
Yeah.
No, she looked great.
But the ads were so annoying.
If you want to look like me, Jenny Clegg has you covered.
You're so intense.
She would say something like, come on, ladies, you'll love yourself for it later.
That's it.
And she'd say later like that.
Can I find it?
Later.
I want to find it.
I'm not even halfway through the resume, by the way.
That's fine.
That's fine.
We'll take a little break.
Come on, ladies.
Come on, ladies.
You'll love yourself for it later.
Hey, my lovely ladies. We'll take a little break. Come on, ladies. Come on, ladies. You'll love yourself for it later. Hey, my lovely ladies.
Here it is.
Jenny and I want to get you ready for the summer of loving, loving, loving yourself, ladies,
because you deserve it.
So here's the plan.
Give Jenny your winter body and get summer ready.
Pick up the phone and call Jenny now.
Call now and you could save up to $468.
Yeah, that's enough.
No, doesn't she do an N thing?
Oh, sorry.
Week commitment program.
Call Jenny Craig now.
You'll love yourself for it later.
I knew I remembered that one line.
Later.
Later.
All right, so she's flogging herself silly.
What else is she doing?
Yep, and then after she was on X Factor,
Channel 9 tried to bring her over for Australia's Got Talent.
I remember that.
And she signed that contract, but she was still under contract with Channel 7.
So Channel 7 took her to court.
Oh.
I remember that.
Being like, excuse me, bitch, you're still under contract with us.
You can't be going signing up to Australia's Got Talent.
And I'm like, why are they fighting over her?
I don't think she's that great.
Wow.
Anyway, Channel 9 got her in the end and she was on The Voice Kids.
Oh, yeah.
Glad she fought hard for that one.
I know.
And then bloody Today FM put her on Breakfast Radio,
which was also a disaster.
And now she's going on The Masked Singer.
She just keeps coming back, getting jobs here in Australia.
Every single show.
Again, I don't dislike her.
I just don't get it.
The Spice Girls must have been mega here.
I mean, were they?
I don't even know.
Oh, yeah.
What about how she couldn't do Australia's Got Talent because of the contract? So they just wheeled in fucking, was it
Geri Halliwell? Which Spice is she? Did they? Yes! Because they couldn't get Mel.
The Spice girls are just interchangeable apparently. They're all Spices. You can just swap it out.
Do you remember when Mel B said, we're touring Australia? Remember?
It was like two years ago. She's a fucking liar. She does that all the time. She also said that she was
performing at the Royal Wedding or something. Yes! And they weren ago. She's a fucking liar. She does that all the time. She also said that she was like performing at the royal wedding or something.
Yes.
And they weren't.
She just like says these things out loud to get rumours started, but then it never happened.
She was just at a wedding of two people named Kate and Will.
It wasn't royal.
Something like that.
But anyway, yeah.
And now she's on Our Masked Singer as a judge, but she was on, I think it might have been,
this is shows that she says yes to anything.
I think she was on the Masked Singer Spain.
Oh, God.
And she absolutely butchered one of my favourite Kylie Minogue songs, okay?
Have a listen.
She can't sing that well.
So she was under a mask?
Yes.
Oh.
I think she was the witchedy grub or something.
I can't remember.
Maybe she's here filming Wizard.
All right, let's have a listen.
La, la, la, I just can't get you out of my head.
Boy, your love is all I think about.
No.
Hold on.
I'm trying to think if I can get Mel B from it.
Boy, it's more than I dare to think about.
She can sing, man.
No, she can't.
It doesn't sound like her at all.
I feel like she's trying to change her throat.
That's the weird thing.
I don't know why, but I expected her to sing in her speaking accent.
Yeah.
It threw me when she sings like that.
I expected her to be like,
Boy, you're lovin' it, all I think about, I just, you know.
Low, low, low.
Low, low, low, low.
Let me let you, ladies.
I just conked you out on my head.
Is it just me?
Got something on your mind?
Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show.
All right, it's time for your turn to get on the show.
You can do an Is It Just Me of your own.
They're called Is It Just Yous.
Hit us up at coupleofmitches on Instagram.
Send us a voice message.
We sometimes get people on live.
Mitch gets a stiff every time we do that.
Well, it's nice to be able to chat to the listeners, isn't it?
No, I agree.
It is nice for a little chin-wang.
But not today. A chin-wang. But not today.
A chin-wang.
Not today.
Catherine has sent us in an Isidro shoe.
More wobble in your case.
It doesn't really wobble.
It's quite stiff.
Don't you think?
Oh, don't rush to calm the nerves.
I was surveying the activity.
Yeah, no, it doesn't actually.
It's no wobbling.
It's no wobble.
You don't have a wobble either, Mitch.
Jan's got two big wobbles now these days. Jesus Christ. All right, let's go. Catherine has sent this in. It's no wobbling. You don't have a wobble either, Mitch. Jan's got two big wobbles now these days.
Jesus Christ.
All right, let's go.
Catherine has sent this in.
It's an Is It Just You?
Let's roll it off.
Hey, guys.
Absolutely adore the show.
Is It Just Me or After a Really Awful Day at Work is getting in the car
and listening to Ijeb, just the best therapy,
because if you don't laugh, you're going to cry.
Oh, get fucked, Catherine.
We can't use that.
Hey.
That's a bit self-indulgent for us to run that and be like,
no, it's not just you.
Oh, everyone feels that way.
What do you want us to say, Catherine?
No.
No, thank you, Catherine.
She'd still get surprised, but I reckon find another one.
Yeah, still give her one.
Yeah, Jenny, send her out sometime.
Hit up Jen on Instagram, Catherine.
Mark Stefanoff has sent this.
Why don't we try and see if Mark has given us some content to her one. Yeah, Jenny, send her out something. Hit up Jen on Instagram, Catherine. Mark Stefanoff has sent this. Why don't we try what
Mark, see if Mark has
got some content to play
with.
G'day, guys.
I have just come back to
Australia and discovered
your podcast, and I cannot
begin to tell you how much
joy it brings me.
But today I went to a
shoe store, and I think
I've got an Is It Just Me?
Is it just me, or when we
take our shoes off to buy
a pair of new shoes, am I
the only one that gets
super self-conscious?
Like I start thinking, do I have six toes?
I know for 31 years of my life that I don't.
But for a moment I go, oh, hang on.
Or have I got a growth on my toenail that looks like a ladybug?
Like I just keep thinking, what could be wrong with my feet?
And now that everyone's wearing masks, I never know.
And I create this narrative of what the sales girl's thinking behind her athlete's foot mask.
Is it just me?
I'm probably overthinking it.
I don't know.
Love you guys.
Obsessed with you.
Think about being you for Halloween.
Have a great night.
I'm still wondering where he got back from.
Yeah.
Where was his trip?
Is our podcast not available internationally?
He only just found it when he got back to Australia.
What do the staff on Qantas recommend our show?
Oh, you're wearing a jockstrap. You love
couple of bitches. God love you, Mark.
In answer to your question, yeah, you are
overthinking it. I'll give you Patrick's number because you've got
what's called anxiety.
It's more of an essay than a question. No, I don't think I've ever thought about that
although I am reluctant to buy shoes online because
my feet tend to fluctuate.
Oh, and shoes online are not consistent at all.
So I actually do prefer to go in.
I don't care if they're judging my manky foot.
They'd be used to that, surely.
They'd seen worse.
Guaranteed.
100%.
If my shoe's bad, they've already seen worse.
Yeah, you're right.
I bought shoes the other day and I actually had an argument with the attendant, R.M.
Williams, because he goes, yeah, you're a 12.
And I go, no, I'm a 13.
He goes, you're a 12.
And I go, no, all my life I've bought size 13 shoes. He goes, look in front of you. Doesn't lie. It's a size chart, you're a 12. And I go, no, I'm a 13. He goes, you're a 12. And I go, no, all my life I bought size 13 shoes.
He goes, look in front of you.
Doesn't lie.
It's a size 12.
You're a 12.
I'm like, excuse the fuck you.
I got so defensive because I identify as a size 13.
And I was told that I'm an RM Williams 12.
And it really cut me deep.
At least they're self-aware.
Like they know, oh, our shoes run a bit big.
So like you're actually a 12.
Because if you bought a 13, you'd be bitching about the fact they don't fit and they're
too big.
Oh, then we were gossiping.
He recognised me from Beauty and the Geek, so I said, oh, I'll pay double.
Why did you have to weave that part in the story?
Because we hated each other and we became friends in the end.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
And we followed each other on Instagram.
Very nice person, yeah.
That's nice.
Thanks for your message, Mark.
Yeah, no, thanks, Mark.
Happy shoe shopping, but I can't say I've ever experienced that. Where do you reckon he came
from? Because he just got back
from travel. Let me hear his voice again.
G'day, guys. I have just come back to
Australia and discovered your podcast.
Greece, for sure. Yeah, I was thinking Greek
Islands. Am I right?
Or New Zealand.
He's been in, oh, interesting. UK?
No, he's been in
Manhattan. Oh. Bermuda with his arse out. Great arse. Oh, then they're. No, he's been in Manhattan. Oh.
Bermuda with his ass out.
Great ass.
Oh, then they were at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Okay.
Well, I was way off.
Anyway, if you want to get in touch, if you've been on a holiday, write to us.
A couple of Mitchies will get you on the show.
Oh, neighbors.
Never heard this in my life.
Can you believe it's done and dusted?
I thought it was cancer, to be honest.
I was shocked when they said it's over.
No, it's actually, actually gone.
The final episode will have aired by the time our podcast is out.
Unfortunately, at the time of recording, we won't have seen the episode.
So we can only guess what happens.
Apparently.
I have seen it.
What?
I know.
I've seen the episode.
It hasn't aired yet.
I've got a screener.
Very important.
Did you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you watched the whole thing?
No, I just watched the celeb cameos.
You know how they did them, right?
Was it everyone coming back for Toadie's wedding?
Yeah, but guess how they did it?
How?
They all came back via Zoom.
Oh, some of them came back IRL.
Kylie, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But Margot Robbie sent in a Zoom message as her character to congratulate her friend Toadie.
So did Delta Goodrum.
Oh, I figured as much.
I figured that all of them weren't coming back because that would have been really tricky to try and weave them all
in oh yeah how would they all enter the store you'd have to just do like the wishing well and
everyone just putting an envelope in and going congrats yeah it's kind of lucky they had the
pandemic excuse right because without that no one would have done it going through zoom like people
be like what i know i mean it's better than nothing how much screen time does kylie get i
need to know or is it really much it's quite brief nothing. How much screen time does Kylie get? I need to know.
Or is it really brief?
It's quite brief.
Is it all just outside on the street?
No, there's a couple of different scenes.
Oh, good.
Okay.
Because I feel like I was worried that it would be just Kylie Minogue out on the street
in her stupid overalls and that would be it.
And I'm like, they've blown their load.
We've seen everything there is to see on the promo, but there's more.
I love that.
Was it you who made the comment that she left as a mechanic
and she came back in the same outfit? I'm like,
you just haven't changed your uniform or gotten
a new job, changed careers at all. That's so true.
Why would they not? She could wear anything she
fucking wants. I know. Like, imagine Flash Forward
and Mitchell just comes back in his Maccas uniform.
Like, no. People evolve.
Anyway,
what we thought we'd do, if you don't know, Neighbours
is known for their ridiculously fucked storylines
Because it's an episode a week, right?
It's a weekly episode
No
How many?
Nightly
It's nightly?
Yeah
Fuck
Half an hour, five nights a week
I did not know that at all
I can't believe that you're not a Neighbours boy
No, not even a Home and Away boy
Not into those soaps, not for me
Yeah, I can tell that you're not into soap, you dirty pig
More of a gel kind of pig Anyway, known for me. Yeah, I can tell that you're not into soap, you dirty pig. More of a gel kind of pig.
Anyway, known for their fuck storylines.
I'm talking ridiculous storylines.
Nightly shows, you've got to come up with ways to keep people entertained.
And they really threw some curveballs over the years.
Some of them are really far-fetched.
And it's like, there can't be that much drama on the one street.
Like, I don't have any of this shit going on with my neighbours.
You know what I mean?
God, no.
My neighbours are lovely people. I don't even know my neighbours. Yeah, neither. That's exactly right. There wouldn of this shit going on with my neighbours. No. You know what I mean? God, no. My neighbours are lovely people.
I don't even know my neighbours.
Yeah, neither.
That's exactly right.
There wouldn't be enough to fill a weekly show.
No.
All right.
Well, what I've done is I've collated actual episode synopsis and then I've made some up.
Completely false.
Okay.
So what you two have to do is tell me whether or not it's a real actual storyline that happened
in Neighbours or if it's bullshit and I've made it up.
Oh, how far back did that go? Because I reckon I'll be able to get it if it storyline that happened in Neighbours or if it's bullshit and I've made it up. How far back did they go?
Because I reckon I'll be able to get it if it's like old school Neighbours.
This is from the original start.
Oh, I didn't watch it.
I wasn't alive when it started.
The show's older than me.
You would have heard about these moments.
These are iconic moments.
If you go around like 2006, 2007 when that theme song was active,
that was my era.
I loved that shit.
No, no, no. I've just collated the best moments from all time. Mind you, I didn't sit and era. I loved that shit. No, no, no, no.
I've just collated the best moments from all time.
Mind you, I didn't sit and watch.
I had to go through articles and it took me quite a while.
Actually, you know what?
Here's an example for the internationals who haven't seen Neighbours before.
Here's an example of the sort of far-fetched stupid storylines they've got.
So my favourite character as a child was Izzy, played by Natalie Basingthwaite,
the lead singer of The Rogue Traders.
In Elvis, famed Elvis.
Yes.
Is she in the Elvis movie?
I noticed her.
I was like, is that Natalie Basingthwaite?
They cut all the speaking scenes.
Oh, really?
She's just there.
Which is so insulting.
Imagine being cut from Baz Luhrmann's film.
He doesn't cut anything.
It's literally just one shot of her and then it's...
Oh.
You can see she's about to start speaking and they cut the camera away.
Oh, my God.
Anyway, I was a big Natalie Bassingthwaite fan back in the day
and she played Izzy.
She came along and she really caused a lot of trouble for Carl and Susan
who were like the iconic couple on the show.
Right.
Like you saw their kids grow up and now they're like the old grandparents
on the street.
Well, Carl and Izzy had an affair.
Oh.
Which broke up Carl and Susan's marriage.
And then Izzy ended up having a baby with Carl.
And just last week, as one of the celebs that they're bringing back
for the final episode of Neighbours, they brought her back
for the whole last week of Neighbours, and now she's dating Carl's son.
Oh, my God.
Which would mean that she is dating her daughter's brother.
Yeah.
And I'm like, incest is not cool, neighbours.
What the fuck?
An oversight.
An oversight.
They're making nightly shows.
I'm like, did they just get new writers and they forgot that that storyline had happened
in the past?
She's fucking her daughter's brother.
Do you reckon there's just a master Google doc of like, this is all the fuck shit we've
done.
Read through before you write new story arcs.
Surely they have like a family tree to follow.
Oh my God.
And also she didn't bring the daughter with her
Where's your fucking kid? Where's Carl's kid?
This show is fucked
So let's quiz you, okay?
I've got some music, I'm going to read the episode synopsis
I've removed all names just to make it fair
That does make it harder
Purely synopsis, so let's go
In this episode, two characters fight over ownership of Bouncer, the Labrador, resulting
in them asking the dog to pick who to live with.
The dog is asked.
The dog then gets lost and walks from Melbourne to Adelaide in one night.
And it has a dream.
True.
It has a dream that it gets married.
That is, of course, true.
Well done.
Yeah, we caught it earlier.
I was like, I remember Bouncer.
I should have removed the fucking dog's name.
Who owned Bouncer? Yes, so it was Mrs. I should have removed the fucking dog's name. Who owned Bouncer?
Yes, so it was Mrs. Mangle and Mike.
Mrs. Mangle.
Oh, right, Mrs. Mangle.
Mrs. Mangle.
This is really old school Neighbours, man.
I wouldn't have known that.
All right, next one.
Real or fake storyline?
When an old man was blown off a cliff and killed off,
only to be brought back years later with severe amnesia.
Wasn't that Harold?
Yeah, Harold.
It's correct.
It was Harold. Harold. Yes's correct. It was Harold.
Harold is correct.
Knew it.
Harold is like the Alf Stewart of Neighbours, just so you know.
He's like the OG.
They killed him and then brought him back.
He's died multiple times and he's come back.
With amnesia.
You know what?
Amnesia is a great tool to just erase everything that's ever happened because he's forgot it.
He also tried to murder Paul Robinson.
Tried to throttle him.
And that was the cliff because he's forgot it. He also tried to murder Paul Robinson. Tried to throttle him.
And that was the cliffhanger of this season.
Like it was the last episode before Christmas.
Yeah.
And it was just someone going in. It was like a POV.
Some hands grabbing Paul Robinson and then him falling on the ground.
And then the big reveal was that it was Harold.
And we're like, not Harold.
Really?
The sweet old man.
I can't remember his reason.
Why did he try and murder Paul?
That's classic Neighbours.
All right, next one.
In this episode, a meteor crashes into the town square
only to reveal a hidden treasure chest buried beneath the local bank.
You wrote that.
That's fake.
You could have tried to make it hard.
You could have tried to make it hard.
There's no bank on Ramsey Street.
Yeah, Ramsey Street is just like a shit cul-de-sac.
The town square.
The town square.
Lasseter's.
I've clearly never read it.
Isn't there a cafe by the water?
Yeah, well, they live in Erinsborough.
But there's no bank.
Okay.
In this episode, a snap freeze blankets the street,
causing the elderly couple at the end of the cul-de-sac to freeze.
Run! At the end of the cul-de-sac to freeze. At the end of the cul-de-sac.
Put the heater on.
At the end of the cul-de-sac.
Are you telling me they froze to death?
No, you made that up.
Causing the elderly couple at the end of the cul-de-sac to freeze over and die in a tableau on the front porch as they embraced.
You wrote that. I made that up. God, Neighbours is a very different show the front porch as they embraced. You wrote that.
I made that up.
God, Neighbours is a very different show to what you think it is.
It's not Days of Our Lives.
They're pretty stupid storylines, but they're not that fucking stupid.
People freezing to death in their front lawn in Melbourne.
Apparently the people that actually live on real life Ramsey Street,
they are over the moon that Neighbours is being cancelled.
Even though they get paid 30 to 40 grand a year compensation live on real life Ramsey Street, they are over the moon that Neighbours is being cancelled. Right.
Even though they get paid 30 to 40 grand a year compensation for the outside of their
homes being used for filming, they just hate the hassle because the tourists always come
past.
Yeah, there's bus trips as well.
Yeah.
And because it's so big in the UK that they must just travel to do it.
And they're saying that, oh, we're so happy the show's over because there'll be less tourists.
I think there's going to be more.
Probably.
Now that the show's over. They also should capital tourists. I think there's going to be more. Probably. Now that the show's over.
They also should capitalise and sell the house, guys.
Make it millions.
Make it an Airbnb.
Like, stay at Carl and Susan's.
That's smart.
All right, let's go next one.
This is pretty iconic.
I don't know if you'll get this one. A character accidentally drove himself and his new wife into the sea as they drove to
their honeymoon, leaving his new wife missing and presumed dead.
Yeah, that's true.
That was Toadie and Dee.
Toadie and Dee.
Yes, it was.
And then that was Toadie's first wife.
Yes.
And then his second wife was Steph.
Yeah.
Things didn't work out, but then he married Steph again,
but that was just a cover-up because Steph was actually pregnant
with her best friend Libby's husband, Dan's baby.
So that was Toadie's third wedding.
And then he married Sonia, and now she's dead too.
Yeah, she died.
Yeah.
So Toadie hasn't had a good run.
That's convoluted.
So I don't think it's going to work out with this bitch he married in the final episode.
Who was she?
It has to.
It's the end.
I didn't pay attention.
Well, Toadie has not had much luck when it comes to weddings.
Is he the main character?
I guess because he's another one that's been there forever.
Well, he also did Jenny Craig ads.
Yes!
You'll love it, boys.
It's on brand for you to be a fat toad.
Like, you can't be losing weight.
What would he be after if he lost all the weight?
He was really skinny.
Tadpole.
All right, this is the next one.
In this episode, there was a gas leak at the school causing...
Sorry, hold on.
Do you know what I just thought of?
Another absurd Neighbours storyline.
So, Toadie adopted his son Callum and they got a dog.
And then they had to get this lady to come along and help train the dog because it was just like a wild puppy.
The person who came and trained the dog was Callum's real mother, Sonia.
What?
Who Toadie then fell in love with.
Oh my.
So, Callum's parents were together.
And then she died.
She did die.
So Callum's parents were together.
And then she died.
She did die.
She went from being a dog trainer, being like, oh my God, it's that fucking son that I got rid of all those years ago.
Shit.
That show's insane.
All right.
What about this episode?
Do you remember this?
There was a gas leak at the local school causing Margot Robbie's character to rap an impromptu
song over the PA, which led to her getting a recording deal with Sony Music.
You made that up.
You don't remember it?
No.
Think hard.
The gas made her go crazy.
Jenna, remember?
Why would she be singing a song over the PA?
Because the gas leak made her go nuts.
You're so bad at these fake storylines.
Did you say rapping?
She rapped, yeah.
She got cancelled after.
It didn't happen.
I really should have watched the show before.
More storylines.
Tell me if this is correct.
In this episode, a character was trampled by a horse, then was paralysed from the waist down.
Then he later regained the use of his legs after he saved a child drowning in a swimming pool.
That's right.
Wasn't that Ringo?
Yeah, that happened.
Fuck, you even know the name?
That did happen.
Ringo regained the use of his legs.
That's right.
After saving a child that was drowning in a pool.
Yeah.
But I thought that he lost his legs because Steph hit him with a motorbike and that's
why Margot Robbie was grieving because that was her husband.
It was the horse trampling.
Oh, wait, no, that's how he died.
Yeah.
Steph ran him over.
Yeah.
So he had this miraculous health recovery and then he was killed?
Oh, well, after she divorced Toadie and then ended up giving birth to her best friend Libby's
husband, Dan's baby.
Yes.
She went and visited the baby because Dan got custody because Steph's a loon.
And then she killed Ringo and went to prison.
Holy moly.
I loved neighbours at that time.
That's when I started to lose interest.
I hope Ramsey Street has a good therapist.
I know.
Imagine how fucked up that is.
All right.
What about this episode?
This is one of the biggest ones.
A crocodile attends the wedding of Toadie, and when the priest asks if anybody objects
to the marriage, it stands up.
You don't even try.
On its back legs and protests their love for him.
Remember that one?
No, I don't.
Jenna?
Which wedding was it of Toadie's?
Was it to Dee?
Was it to Steph?
Or was it to Sonia?
Ryan, when he had the gay wedding.
What?
It didn't happen. I don't cut off.
Oh God, you really
you actually
could have tricked me if you tried
a little harder. Because yours are just too absurd.
Why would there be a crocodile at Toadie's wedding?
Why would he marry it?
Why would a dog breeder be the mother of his adopted son?
Well, because she just had a kid and then got a career change.
And his crocodile fell in love with him.
All right, let's do the last one.
This is hard.
In this episode, a character has applied too many testosterone patches
during his honeymoon to fix his erectile dysfunction,
which led to him having a major erection while riding a zipline in front of locals.
Neighbours wouldn't have run that.
Is this you?
You in Bali?
No.
I didn't know that testosterone patches were a thing.
Why didn't I get those instead of fucking Viagra?
Lock in an answer.
That did not happen.
That didn't happen.
That happened!
Screw the lot of you, I did it!
Who was it?
When did it happen?
Oh, that made it all worth it. Who was it?
Get the story out.
Stand by.
Oh, my God.
Who had a raging boner on Neighbours?
I didn't know about that.
It must have been a recent one.
Oh, sorry.
I just found out Paul.
Harold strangled Paul.
Yeah, I told you that.
Because he was responsible for a plane crash in which David Luana and Serena died.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, the plane crash.
Yes.
Yeah, there was a plane crash.
Yeah.
And the only casualties were Harold's relatives. Oh, the plane crash. Yes. Yeah, there was a plane crash. Yeah. And the only casualties were Harold's relatives.
Oh, dear.
Oh, because was it Serena, the daughter that died?
Yeah.
Yeah, she had a boyfriend, Luca, and then someone had to break it to her that Luca's
actually her biological brother and she'd been fucking her brother.
I love incest on that show.
Yeah, see what I mean?
And then she died in a plane crash.
Like, she had a shocking life.
Right, here we go. Poor Serena. I can't believe died in a plane crash. She had a shocking life. Here we go.
I can't believe I got one over you. I'm so happy.
So Kyle used one too many testosterone patches
during his honeymoon, which led to
some hard issues. So there was a storyline
where Kyle and Roxy had gotten married.
He was having erectile dysfunction, so on their
honeymoon, he put on ten too many
testosterone patches. He ended up on a
zipline erect. The whole time
he was hiding, the zipline crew were telling him that zipping isn't hard
and if you need help, we can get you up.
Everyone was laughing.
It was one of the funniest episodes.
Oh my God.
What?
What year was it?
It looks very new because it's high definition in the screenshot.
Yeah, that was Kyle Canning.
I never liked him.
Oh.
Or his hard cock.
Because do you remember?
Oh wait, was it?
Yeah, Kyle Canning.
So originally he was on there. his only role as like a supporting character
was the school bully.
And then randomly they just promoted him to a main character
and we were supposed to like him.
And that's when I stopped watching.
I was like, he made Bridget's life hell.
I'm not supporting Kyle Canning and his fucking limp dick.
I don't give a fuck.
Anyway, I beat you all.
I can't believe that happened. That happened.
That's real. God, I knew I would get you with that one.
This was also just
this is real, but I didn't put it in, but it's so hilarious.
All it says is the episode synopsis
is the marquee hosting
Toadie's wedding, another fucking wedding.
They never end well. This is what I'm saying.
Why did they make that the last ever episode?
Yeah, marquee hosting Toadie and Sonia's wedding
reception collapsed after a gas bottle exploded,
resulting in the death of Rhys and Priya.
Oh, I do remember Rhys and Priya dying.
They tried to do some diversity on the street instead of a bunch of white neighbours, and
then they fucking killed off the Indian family.
You're kidding.
No, they weren't even there long.
It was only a couple of months.
I truly think it's just so great.
That show is absolutely fucked.
There's just so many deaths.
Yeah.
Like Bridget died and she left behind her daughter India
and Dylan was a single father.
Was it Dylan?
No, Declan.
Yeah.
Sorry, my bad.
Yeah, and then the actor that played Declan left
and then they were like, fuck, we're not done with your storylines.
So they brought in a new Declan who was awful.
Yes, I hated that.
Hold on, they recast the actor?
That's happened a few times.
Yeah.
The chick who played Libby Kennedy, Kyle and Susan's daughter,
she got pneumonia so she was just off for a month
and they brought in Michaela Bannis.
Well, they got a film.
She just started playing Libby and everyone's like, what?
It was so weird.
It just didn't fit.
Are you trying to convince me? I'm not going to watch it.
This is so absurd.
The new Libby, the replacement Libby,
Libby 2.0, she saw out the
end of the year and the big cliffhanger
that year was their
canoe capsized. And so
the new Libby, she fell into
the water and then
end of season and then Neighbours starts
for the year and the original Libby comes up out of the water.
She's like, I'm back.
I'm back on set.
She decided to come back.
Libby looked completely different after going
into the fucking muddy water.
Why?
How long was the Libby that fell into the water in that role for?
Oh, like a month or two.
Oh, that's really funny. Yeah. The reason she was in a canoe was because Libby was fell into the water in that roll for? Oh, like a month or two. Oh, that's really funny.
Yeah.
The reason she was in a canoe was because Libby was the school teacher and she took everyone
on an excursion.
So it's not good.
Everyone just capsized in a canoe.
Were there deaths?
I'm pretty sure there was.
Let me look it up.
No, I don't want to know.
I'm okay.
No, no, I insist.
Don't type in death during canoe accident because Google will think it's a real thing
that happened.
I think Margot Robbie was also in that canoe accident.
Oh, here we go.
I've got it up here on the screen.
Oh, that's it.
They're about to flip.
Margot?
Yeah.
Isn't it weird?
See, that's the imposter Libby at the front of the boat.
Filming.
What are they doing? It's so bad. It doesn't even look that drastic.
They're in the canoe. Yeah. I just don't understand why they think they're stuck under the canoe.
They can just like like, swim out.
Yeah.
Just, like, go underwater and swim to the other side where you're not stuck under a canoe.
Yeah, swim under it.
It's also just floating next to everyone.
That's it.
And that's how it ends.
And then it comes back with the original Libby just in the water with wet hair.
It's like, oh, we're not meant to notice, are we?
Too much neighbours talk.
I'm not interested in it, guys.
You brought it up.
I know.
I really thought I'd get you with that crocodile objecting at the service.
Anyway.
Crocodiles can't speak.
Well, in this series, I'm sure they make an exception.
All right.
Thank you for listening, everybody.
How stupid.
Enjoy the finale of Neighbours and just laugh watch for us.
Yeah.
I'm sure you'll be able to watch it back online.
Yeah, I'm sure.
What's it on?
Channel 9, is it?
No, it'll be on 10 Play.
Oh, did I tell you, Mitch, they sent me a Ramsey Street sign?
I know.
It's pretty insulted.
I got one too.
Fuck up.
Give it to you.
Where's mine?
My cousin took it.
There'll be one here.
They sent it to everyone.
Everyone, huh?
No, in the building is what I'm in. In my birthday week.
I didn't even get a Ramsey Street sign.
All right, everybody.
Thank you for listening.
I appreciate it.
If you want to get...
I appreciate it.
They don't, but I do.
If you want to get in touch, couple of bitches.
It doesn't mean anything to me.
Send us a DM.
Also, I've noticed a couple of lovely reviews come in.
That was very sweet.
Have you?
I have noticed a few.
Someone left us a first one-star review, and it said, more iHeartRadio rubbish.
I saw that, actually. It doesn't make sense. Like, more., and it said, more iHeartRadio rubbish. I saw that, actually.
It doesn't make sense.
Like, more?
What do they mean, more?
Also, don't connect us to other iHeart podcasts.
That's daft.
I couldn't name one.
What other podcasts do we have?
Life Uncut.
They're a good friend.
Oh, right, of course.
They're not rubbish.
They're fantastic.
Casefile.
Casefile, True Crime.
Oh, my God.
Tony and Ryan.
Or not anymore. What about the five-minute food fix with Yumi Steins? They're fantastic. Case file. Case file true crime. Oh, my God. Tony and Ryan.
Oh, not anymore.
What about the five-minute food fix with Yumi Steins?
Oh, maybe that's what they're calling rubbish. Quality.
No.
I listened to a whole episode on potatoes.
Did you, Vinny?
Yeah.
Thanks, everybody.
All right, we'll see you in a week.
See you guys next week.
Catch you then, idiots.
Thanks for listening.
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 our secret segment on the end.
We just fuck around a bit once we've finished the show, just unwind.
Yeah.
Just sort of chill, you know, relax.
Yeah.
Chat with pals.
Nothing's prepared here.
Actually, we have prepared something.
We've prepared a little announcement, Mitchell, haven't we?
What?
Another one?
Yeah, if you love our show.
Oh, right.
I know what you're talking about.
And if you love RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.
And if you want to yass queen and sashay into the week with high energy, cunt.
Oh, sorry.
Don't know what came over me then.
I know that some people say to us, oh, you should do more than one podcast a week.
Well, now we are.
We are, bitches.
Every Monday we're going to be dropping bonus episodes.
Yeah!
With the drag queens that have been freshly eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.
They leave the workroom and fuck, they're in here.
They're in the Ijum Tower.
We had the option to get advanced screenings of the show and interview them before they even aired so that we could have the interviews in the can.
And I thought, no, that sounds like homework.
I'll just watch the show on the weekend and chat to them Monday.
That's better, isn't it?
And you know what's going to be fun?
I want everyone listening who loves Drag Race,
even if you don't, watch Drag Race Down Under.
It's on Stan, season two.
That way you're in on it too.
So we're all sort of watching together like a little book club.
Oh, yes.
It is like a book club, isn't it?
Because I've never really watched any other series apart from Down Under.
Like I watched that every episode last year.
And so I'm going to do the same this year.
I only just watch bits and pieces of the others whenever friends are like,
oh, come over and watch Drag Race.
No, I'm well-treated.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, keep me in the loop because I don't really know what's
going on.
There's so many seasons, so many franchises, so many queens.
I know, so many spin-offs.
Too many.
But this is the best.
And I remember absolutely everything there is to remember about Neighbours.
So I get it.
Some people just get obsessed with that show.
We're doing a weekly bonus episode with the Queen, freshly eliminated.
We're also going to have the winner at the very end.
You know how people were saying that last year's season one looked low budget compared
to the other franchises of Drag Race around the world?
I think I said that, yeah.
Oh, no, it wasn't just you.
A lot of people said that.
I've heard that based off the trailer, this one doesn't look drastically better in terms of production
or quality or budget or whatever.
But I can't see it.
Like everyone keeps pointing out,
oh, look how much more low budget it looks.
And I'm looking at it going, it looks the fucking same to me
as all the other drag races.
They look the same to me.
No, if you watch the other ones, it is massive difference.
It's big.
It's pov.
Even the microphone quality is.
Oh, no, that bothered me.
You know how I feel about audio quality.
Yeah.
That bothered me.
It sounded like they just, you know how they do the bits,
the pieces of camera, like the interview commentary thing.
Professionals.
Yeah, that sort of shit.
They'd be like, I thought that I was way better in that challenge.
And I'm like, why the fuck are they not, are they not marked up properly?
I thought maybe it was a COVID thing last year.
They couldn't go get up close and put a lapel on their tits.
No, it'll be fine.
And we're grateful to Drag Race because they're sending us to the premiere.
Who's paying you?
No, they're sending us to the premiere.
Listen to the ass licking.
They're sending us to the premiere.
Yeah.
Well, they will have sent us already.
We were already sashayed into the workroom.
We're going to have to talk in past tense as though we've already been to the premiere.
Wasn't it great?
Didn't I look so much better than you?
Oh.
I looked stunning.
The tampon dress.
It's a shame what happened to Jenna afterwards.
I know.
I couldn't help it.
She hasn't been the same since the fire.
How was she speaking from the dead?
No, I'm not smart enough to talk in past tense, guys.
Please.
People are really putting a lot of thought and effort into this thing,
and I haven't put any.
Well, then I watched All Right Hayes' Insta story.
I skipped a bit of it very long.
And the part that I saw was them talking about what they were wearing.
And it's like, oh, I don't have a look yet.
So that made me even more anxious.
Yeah, neither do I.
Like, I didn't realise how seriously people were taking it
until we were meant to record Trash Alley on the Thursday,
and Matt moved it so we could have all day to focus on getting ready.
That's ridiculous.
And then my manager, David, moved a meeting that he and I had at like 1pm saying, oh,
I'll just move the meeting to another day so you can focus on the Drag Race event.
I was like, what fucking focusing needs to be involved?
Like, what am I?
I'm just rocking up to a fucking theatre and watching a thing.
I'm doing a live radio show for an hour, then jumping off and then running to the state theatre.
Oh, well, then you're fine.
You don't have to worry.
I think it's more the red carpet arrival thing that they're worried about.
The blue carpet.
I'm going to miss the blue carpet.
I always skip that because I don't like getting photos taken on media walls.
Me too.
And you're literally next to drag queens in full hair and makeup.
You're never going to look better than them.
I know.
Plus, like with your photos, you've seen one, you've seen them all.
It's just you doing like a Buddhist prayer in front of the media wall.
Even a little bow.
It's a clap.
Oh, is that what it is?
Yes.
Yeah, because it's like...
You always put your hands together.
Oh, you've noticed it too.
You put your hands together.
I wondered why.
So it's a clap.
Okay.
It's meant to be like, I'm laughing candidly.
Yeah, I've just clapped.
Oh.
I don't choose to do it.
I had a photographer tell me that that's where I look best.
So now I do it all the time.
Okay.
Why do they say that?
That's rude.
Because my body's leaning forward.
So it's kind of like a top angle.
You lose the double chin and your arms are out covering your bodice.
It's genius.
Your bodice.
I look great every time.
What is bodice?
Is that an actual word?
Yeah, it is.
Is it? I've never heard bodice. Can you get the definition? Bodice. Covering my bodice. every time. What is bodice? Is that an actual word? Yeah, it is. Jen, can you get the definition?
Bodice.
Covering my bodice.
My mum used to say bodice.
I've never heard it.
I need to say body.
No, because bodice is your full, it's like the torso.
Isn't that a torso?
Google it!
What's a bodice?
Google it!
Bodice is the close-fitting upper part of a dress covering the chest and back above the waist.
Yeah, there you go.
Bodice.
So it's not the whole thing.
It's just like above the waist.
It's like a corset.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
And I'm covering the bodice.
Okay.
God, I don't pick apart your Instagram photos.
I wasn't picking them apart.
I just noticed.
Because, no, people do pick apart my Instagram photos
because I always put my legs the same.
You do cross the legs.
I cross my legs over. Or one leg over. That's what I hate about getting photos done. I'm like, people do pick apart my Instagram photos because I always put my legs the same. You do cross the legs. I cross my legs over.
Or one leg over.
That's what I hate about getting photos done.
I'm like, how do I stand?
Yeah.
Where do I put my feet?
Where do I put my hands?
That's why you do the clap.
Trust me, you look fantastic.
Just try it in the next photo shoot.
But it's funny because I didn't realise it was a clap.
Hold on.
You always look like you're praying.
Sam, can you come to the mic for one second?
Or just come in here, please.
Get contraceptive diaphragm, Sam.
He's doing his actual day job.
Sam's a photographer by night.
Sam, they're laughing at me.
Oh, my God.
You take things so personally.
I just said to him that I've noticed that he's the same in every photo.
He always looks like he's praying and bowing like this.
And I was like, that's a photographer trick, isn't it?
Yeah.
No, I mean, there's a very specific reason for that.
Okay.
I brought you in here to defend me, don't forget.
It hides the bodice.
It does.
Yes.
It absolutely does.
I can see.
No.
No, I didn't realise that that was like a trick.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't have to.
Because I'm not judging because I'm the same.
Like, I find my pose and I stick to it.
Is that to hide your cankles?
The twist of the ankle?
No, that's just because I don't know how to stand.
And it's because I've got quite nice legs.
You do have good, that's an asset.
Especially when I've got the hair removed.
If I do this, it's got a bit of a muscle flex.
Yeah, right.
I've got really good cuticles.
That's why I do the clap.
Because I want people to see them.
I didn't realise it was a clap.
I thought you were literally praying.
No, it's a clap.
It's meant to be like an action clap, right?
Yeah, it's the, I'm so enjoying this entire interaction.
But people don't really hold their hands together so tightly when they clap.
Okay, so don't mean to dedicate.
You know, giving yourself an arm wrestle.
No, thank you, Sam.
You're so welcome.
Great to see you.
Anyway.
I have.
I like it.
Yeah, I never said I didn't like it.
Thanks for jumping to my defence, Jenna, eight hours after we just started to talk about it.
Did you write down those neighbours' fake storylines
or did you think of them on the spot just then?
I wrote them down.
Oh, wow.
I see why you should have thought into them.
Yeah, I did.
You could have easily thrown me if you'd done something sort of realistic.
I did throw you.
Like you should have been like, oh, someone is really upset
because someone found out that their daughter is not their real daughter
and so they get revenge by poisoning the person that revealed the secret oh like with that gas
leak overly dramatic the gas leak at the school right you didn't that could have happened it was
only when you said the bit about her singing and getting a record deal i was like oh there would
have been a gas leak at the school i bet there was at some stage i'm pretty sure there was i
remember something like that what other dumb dumb storylines have they had?
Can you tell me some of the storylines that the celebrities have had?
So did Delta's character die?
I started watching because I was a big Delta Goodrum fan, but I tuned in around the same
time that she left.
So I didn't get much Delta time, but she was Nina Tucker.
Was that?
Yeah, it was Nina Tucker.
Was she related to Steph?
Or was she Steph's best friend?
Or am I thinking of Holly Valance's character?
That was Steph's sister, surely.
That was Steph's sister.
That was Flick.
Flick.
Yeah.
Who's Flick?
Flick.
Flick Scully.
What happened to Flick?
Flick Scully.
What happened to Flick?
Oh, you know Holly Valance, don't you?
Vaguely.
Oh, my God. Please Look Up, Down you know Holly Valance, don't you? Vaguely. Oh, my God.
Please look up Down Boy by Holly Valance, the song.
She left neighbours for her very successful music career.
Let's see if it's on the Kiss system.
And if it's not, that's a telling sign enough
that I'll be not playing it.
I reckon it could be.
Down Boy?
Down Boy.
Oh, fuck, it's here.
Yeah.
Play it.
This is Holly Valance, also known as Fleek.
Sounds like it's recorded on an iPod.
No, it doesn't.
She's talking about the crocodile from Season 8, Episode 8.
She's talking about getting dicked down.
Is she?
I think so.
By the erection on the zip line, perhaps.
The music video is also very hot.
She's barely singing.
The one you love.
I know this much.
The more you see, the more you want.
The more you taste, it just gets better.
The more you get, the more you like.
Did she perform this to her cousin's brother that she then fucked and had a baby with?
I'm going to be adopted by a great day in the next episode.
You don't know this, really.
Oh.
How did it do, chart-wise?
I don't know about charts.
I just know about my heart.
It did very well in my heart.
I got this.
What about Kiss Kiss?
You'd know that one.
By who?
Yeah.
It's by Holly Valance.
It just starts with muah.
Oh, fuck, we've got it. We should do a game. Is it Mitchell or Holly Valance? just starts with Mwah Fuck we've got it
We should do a game
Is it Mitchell or Holly Valance
Can you do it
Mwah
They didn't have the kiss on that version
Because it usually starts with her doing mwah
Oh I love this song
Here we go
You're a Holly Valance fan
I am a Holly Valance stan.
I can't believe the radio station got rid of that.
I danced to this at the Talent Quest.
Alone.
Yes!
How did you fare?
Oh, I didn't win.
I don't know the words to this one.
I want to hear it.
Can you stop moaning over Holly?
I love this song.
I don't know the words.
Wow, that's fucking good.
I love Holly Vlantant and I love Flick.
Well, she went on to have a successful music career
and then her sister Steph killed Ringo with a motorbike
and went to prison.
Oh, no.
And the youngest Scully married this Irish guy when she was 16
and they had to get permission from their parents to get married.
Oh, because they were 16.
Yes.
I think you'll find the youngest Scully is Oscar because Lynn got pregnant again and
she was a mature mum.
The youngest of the females.
Oh.
Yes.
Of the three.
Guys, that's really interesting.
Do you remember Brie Timmons?
Yes.
Brie.
That fat thing.
She was great.
Yes.
Who?
Brie Timmons.
What song does she have? No songs. Actually. That fat thing. She was great. Who? Brie Timmons. What song does she have?
No songs.
Actually, she probably does.
Knowing her.
All fucking do.
No, I think she does.
Her name's like-
For some reason, it's ringing a bell.
Sayonoa.
Her brother was in Elvis.
Her brother was nominated for an Oscar.
What?
Ah!
Sayonoa.
Sayonoa.
Smit McPhee.
Yeah.
Smit McPhee rings a bell.
Cody.
Cody Smit McPhee. He's cute. rings a bell. Oh, Cody Smith McPhee.
He's cute.
You're joking.
I didn't realise there was a relationship.
I feel like I've done a drama class with him.
Every time I go, I have played Space Jump with that twink.
Space Jump.
I feel like I would.
Do you remember his gorgeous sister?
Yeah.
Yes, I do.
She's beautiful.
Wait, she was in Neighbours?
Yeah, that's Brie Timmons.
And then show me the brother that won the Oscar for the dog and the water horse.
I've never even seen him.
I know.
Cody Smith.
I love how you're like, yeah, in the dog that read the horse, but my crocodile storyline was too far fetched.
Oh, he won the Oscar for that film where he married a talking goldfish.
Yeah, that one.
Oh, I have seen him before.
Show me. He's that one. Oh, I have seen him before. Show me.
He's very handsome.
Fuck.
He's got that malnourished orphan look about him, like Timothee Chalamet.
I wouldn't say that.
He does look like Sid from Ice Age.
Oh, don't you just want to give him a burger, though?
Quite different to Brie.
Now, who's the one that won the Oscar?
Him.
No, nominated.
Not Shanoa, whatever her name is.
Wouldn't you change your last name from Smith McPhee?
That's not really an actor's stage name, is it?
No.
Smith McPhee sounds like my cleaner.
That sounds like their full name.
Yeah.
And the Oscar goes to Smith McPhee.
Do you remember Nanny McPhee?
I love Nanny McPhee.
We just all watched that and enjoyed it too much.
I don't think I've ever seen it.
It was just a copy of Mary Poppins.
Oh, yeah.
Was it?
I've never seen it. It was just a copy of Mary Poppins. Oh, yeah. Was it? I've never been there.
And she had an awful mole.
Yeah, and the big nose.
She'd hit the cane on the floor.
She'd go.
Oh, yeah, I do remember Nanny McPhee.
God, she's a gross old bitch, isn't she?
Is it Emma Thompson?
Yeah.
Oh, that's fun.
You wouldn't recognise her.
Can I just say there's a hook of Holly Valance's Kiss Kiss.
So there should be.
Why is it not used as the station ID every day?
By Kyle and Jackie O.
That means they've had her on recently.
It is good from that part as well.
Wow.
You should see the music video for Down Boy.
I'm sure it's good.
Even I get hard over that.
Well, remember Holly Valance was the guest judge at the Drag Race premiere on Thursday.
What?
Yeah, she came out.
But is she?
Don't fuck with me like that.
Oh, fuck.
You guys create the game and all of a sudden I start to play.
I love Holly Valance.
She's married to a billionaire now.
A what?
Yeah, that's why she's without work.
Who, who, who?
I need to Google this.
Who, who, who?
I don't know. A billionaire. Yeah, Holly Valance is kind of, she's a trophy billionaire now. A what? Yeah, that's why she's without work. Who, who, who? I need to Google this. Who, who, who?
I don't know.
A billionaire.
Yeah, Holly Valance is kind of, she's a trophy wife now.
Yeah.
Not that her record sales weren't enough to live off, but she does have a very rich husband.
A millionaire or a billionaire?
Billionaire.
Nick Candy.
I was going to say a millionaire.
He probably has a fucking apartment in Hurstville.
No.
She's a billionaire.
Oh, she's gorgeous.
But Lance married billionaire British property developer Nick Candy.
Yeah, but what does Nick Candy do?
Who the fuck's he?
He's young.
Holly Candy.
He's 49.
Holly Candy's a good name.
Yeah, that's hot.
Oh, she's 39.
Kiss Kiss Down Boy and Naughty Girl was her big one.
What's Naughty Girl? Naughty Girl was like the, that was the.
The last one.
No, like the ballad.
Oh, it wasn't like, don't want to be a naughty girl?
No, it was like, naughty girl in a naughty world, goes to many things a girl should have
known.
I swear I never knew.
Well, Holly Valencia's back in the final one.
It's after 12, can back in the final one.
Oh, my fucking God.
Sorry to cut this short.
Billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy and his wife,
Holly Valance, put their sprawling LA mansion with 10 bedrooms,
11 bathrooms and its own cinema on the market for $85 million.
See?
Fucking hell. I wouldn't be surprised if you've at some stage interviewed $85 million. See? Fucking hell.
I wouldn't be surprised if you've at some stage interviewed Holly's sister.
Yeah, Olympia.
Oh, I have interviewed Olympia Valance.
Yeah.
Oh!
See?
I love that family.
I don't know what it is about me,
but I always have seemed to latch on to one of my favourite neighbours' blondes, and then I support their music career after.
Like Natalie Bassingthwaite.
She left Neighbours to do Rogue Traders.
Holly Valance.
And then also Stephanie McIntosh.
You'd know her music.
She was in Neighbours.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sky.
She played Sky.
You're saying yeah, yeah, yeah, but you don't know who I'm talking about.
What's her name again?
Stephanie McIntosh.
That would definitely be in the system.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to.
I don't want to make another mistake like you.
From Summer Heights, aren't I?
Yeah.
Was it?
Yeah.
May I ask what her name was?
Stephanie McIntosh.
It's on the system.
You're joking.
And I supported her music career at Post Navy's as well.
I was Devo when Sky left.
I know, I like Sky.
She's really good.
I don't know the words to this bit.
No.
You know what?
Olivia Rodrigo is successfully building a career because of this kind of music.
No, you're right, actually.
Stephanie McIntosh walked so that Olivia Rodrigo could run.
Yes.
This was so in at the time, this sort of music.
It was so cool.
I'm texting Hayden right now to listen.
He'd love this.
You can do that when we're not broadcasting.
No!
I'm trying to have a conversation with you and I'm like, why is he distracted?
I'm well past conversations at this point.
My brain.
Should we do that game again where we have a conversation and it has nothing to do with it?
No, no.
You guys didn't realise, but you probably did.
I was a bit out of it.
I did order gozleme during that whole discussion.
No, it's more like a round table than a square because it's easy to fit.
Yeah.
It's not a pigeon, though.
Everyone thinks it is.
It's a macaw, which the difference is the colour of the beak.
Oh, same.
There's literally still sand in the back of my car.
Oh, fuck off.
The fire was bad, huh?
Oh, God, yeah.
Like, the frosting was just way too sweet.
Well, that's what I said to Jennifer, that at the end of the day, it isn't an island.
It's actually, it's a nation that deserves its own sort of freedom.
Yeah.
No, I agree.
But no, I was happy to pay him back for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but Stephanie McIntosh didn't fight for Ukraine.
I'm done.
She ruined it.
Because she circled back to something else.
None of it's meant to be relevant to anything.
Yeah, nah.
Bring back a real legend, that one.
People are missing that.
A couple of sound effects today.
Do we like them?
Just sort of testing the waters to see if people like them.
And if not, it's fine.
Which ones are you referring to?
It's fine.
Well, when we announced our million dollar...
Oh, I wasn't going to say how much we got paid for that.
The Drag Race Extra podcast.
I played the very excitable.
Didn't even notice.
Did you not notice?
No.
Yeah.
And maybe I'll weave them in and start bringing them back.
You're losing it.
Remember what you said last week?
Mitch, pay more grabs.
No, I didn't say that.
Why have you got a whoosh just there with nothing attached to it?
That's a grab.
There's not anything attached to it.
You said last week.
I'll say it again.
Play more grabs.
Annoyed me that you laughed over that, Jenna, because I had to cut it.
It's hard to cut.
It's hard to cut.
Because you edit it.
Number two.
She's back. Oh, Jo.
She's back.
Jo.
A lesbian VO lady.
What have you been doing?
Number two.
Oh, shit.
I love how butch Jo is.
She's so butch.
I love Jo.
I'm so glad that I knew what we're like as people because I had a 5pm hairdresser appointment.
No, you bumped it.
And I was like, knowing us, we'll
fuck around and we'll run over.
So I bumped it back.
Thank God I did.
I have a radio show to do.
I wouldn't have made it.
No, you wouldn't.
Can't go with this hair.
What would that look like?
What are you getting done?
Just a trim.
Oh, always good.
And that's sort of as you should.
Thanks.
As you should.
As you should.
It really had to be said at the end of the day because people messaged me.
I'll just say it.
I did get people trying to console me last week.
Why?
In the DMs.
You're a lovely friend and what you did for Mitch, albeit terrible, was lovely.
I'd kill to have a friend like you.
Then they went into a sob story about their life.
Why would they be consoling you?
Because they knew that I was desperately upset.
Why would you be upset?
Because you missed my birthday.
Has that one happened?
I forget.
Oh, did I miss you?
I was going to say, I was the one getting the messages.
I got so many messages.
Saying what?
Saying, don't feel bad.
I got messages asking for recorder requests.
Two-faced snakes were sending you those messages because I got heaps.
Quite a few.
Yeah.
Some people said, I just wanted to reach through the speakers and give you a hug or something
like that.
Oh, not possible.
That's so sweet.
The sentiment.
The sentiment.
That's so sweet.
Because if you reach through speakers, it'll be, that would happen.
It'll blow up.
Why would people be sending you DMs?
Consoling you.
Because they knew it was a tough week for me.
How?
As well.
It was a tough week.
It was tough for me.
Anyway, we really should go.
Jenna, did you get an invite to the Drag Race premiere?
Yeah.
Are you going to go?
No.
Jenna.
I'm a five.
Why won't you go?
I'm not.
I actually didn't get invited.
I just wanted to sound good. We're all compulsive liars. No, we're not all. Yeah, we're not. I actually didn't get invited. I just wanted to sound good.
We're all compulsive liars.
No, we're not all.
Yeah, we're not.
Right.
Only one of us is.
We've really gotten to that point.
There's a real point in the show every week where mania sets in.
For you, yeah.
Oh, God, yeah.
For me, yeah.
Take a listen.
What?
Okay, Mitch, I'm going to play you an instrumental.
What do you think the B in Mel B stands for?
Bush.
And not Fanny Bush.
She was married to George Bush and no one knows it.
Jeb Bush.
She was married to Jeb Bush.
Mel Beast.
No, it's Mel Bitcoin because she's invested really well.
All right, I'm going to give you an instrumental to one of your favourite songs and I want
you to sing as if you're on The Masked Singer and you've got to try to hide your voice.
It's my favourite song.
I'll go first.
You think of a song.
Oh, my God.
We'll leave all this in.
I thought we were going.
We'll leave all this in.
Oh, that's what I heard.
This is how I'd hide my voice.
Ready?
Fuck, do I go high or low, Jenna?
Head voice or dick voice?
High.
Put this over your head so it's like you're wearing a mask.
My laptop bag.
Hurry up!
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the sense of the wind is I couldn't read the lyrics.
You wouldn't actually sing like that, would you?
Yeah, I wouldn't.
You guys guess, guess, guess.
Imagine if you were actually on the mask thing.
Imagine if you were. Wait, turned Singer. Imagine if you were.
Wait, turn it off.
I'm trying to talk.
Wait for the chorus.
I'm going to go deeper.
I'm going to go deeper.
And I think it's going to be a lot.
Oh, we would recognise that.
Yeah, get rid of it.
Fuck.
Imagine if you were on The Masked Singer and Abby's like, oh my God, it's Mitch Chirio.
I know him.
And Mel B's like, who the fuck's that?
He's got to be a fatty because that suit is dressed as a blue whale.
I think I did well.
In the hippo mask, it's Mitch Cherry.
I messaged Abby and I said, I dare you to guess me.
And she said she's going to do it, but I doubt it's going to make the edit.
Oh, she will be like, cut that fucking cow.
All right.
What's your song that you know?
What about something by Alanis Morissette?
Because I've been into her after seeing that musical.
Sticky Fingers, yeah.
Sticky Fingers.
I don't know.
Just go You Oughta Know.
That would definitely be in this.
Oh, right, karaoke version.
Sorry.
Now, Jenna, you think of one too because we're doing you next.
And I think you go in baritone.
So I have to try and mask my voice so it doesn't sound like me.
So no one guesses.
Yes, and Jenna and I are going to guess.
Because obviously I have a very iconic voice.
Yes, of course.
Is this it?
Is this real?
Go a bit further forward.
And every time you speak her name
does she know how you told me?
What the fuck?
These are really hard.
I'm here! I'll go four more. What's her name These are really hard. I'll go for what's her name?
Nathan Gray.
I'm a mad student when you ran away.
Oh, is it Portia de Rossi?
Not rare.
It's Anastasia.
To deny me.
I think that is Anastasia.
I'm a cross-eyed man.
Oh my God.
I'm a mad student.
No.
I don't know. That was great, Mitchell. I'd never guess. I did think it was you, Mitchell.
I'd never guess.
I did think it was you, though.
I kind of got it.
Jenna, what's your name?
I was trying to be Anastasia.
Oh, oh, oh.
It was very good.
Do a Haim karaoke.
Oh, yeah.
What song?
What's their big one?
You know, I was saying.
Just do karaoke.
I don't know.
Seance with the Sisters.
Want you back.
What did I say. Want you back. What did I say?
Want you back.
By the way, I was on TikTok Live last night and I was saying that we were talking about
misheard lyrics again.
Remember how we used to do segments about that?
Yeah, God.
And I was saying that for a long time I thought she was saying cross-eyed bear.
And what is she saying?
To remind me of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me.
Imagine just getting a teddy bear and it's fucking munted looking.
Cross-eyed.
And you're like, why did you give me this?
It's not a care bear?
You can't go cross-eyed, can you?
I just saw you trying.
You just looked up.
It's like stranger things.
I'm too literate.
I can't do it.
All right, Jenna.
I've got to go.
I thought we were going like 20 minutes ago.
No, no, we're doing the mass singer.
Who is that? Who is that? Masked Singer. Who is that?
Who is that?
Who is that?
Who is that?
Take it off.
With those new tits, I'd like to see it.
Who are you?
This is Ham.
I want you back.
It's not Ham.
It's Ham.
Ham.
This is Champagne Leg Ham.
I want you back.
Is it playing? This is Ham with their hit Honey Glazed. Something to champagne leg ham. I want you back. Is it playing?
This is ham with their hit Honey Glazed.
Some things will...
Hold on.
Okay, there's a bit of a delay.
Some things were never said.
We're all one in this world.
It's Jenna.
You haven't even tried to mask it.
Hold on, I'll be Mel B.
That's either a poltergeist ghost or Jenna Benson.
Can you imagine if Mel B just got up there and really, really confidently guessed someone
that obviously the producer fed her.
She's like, it's Ricky Pontang.
As if you'd know who that is.
That's Jenna Benson.
I don't think Jenna knows how to play.
You have to sing the correct notes, but change your voice tone. I'm doing that. No, that's Jenna Benson. I don't think Jenna knows how to play.
You have to sing the correct notes, but change your voice tone.
I'm doing that.
No, you're not.
I don't know what the notes are, but that can't be right.
Those notes need to be shredded.
All right, let's get out of here, everybody.
We better.
Next week, two episodes.
You're going to get... Actually, no.
Tomorrow, after this episode drops, you're going to get an extra episode with the eliminated
queen.
Fuck me. They come out Monday afternoon. Yeah, so you'll get this tomorrow. Or today, if you're going to get an extra episode with the eliminated queen. Fuck me.
They come out Monday afternoon.
Yeah, so you'll get this tomorrow.
Or today if you're listening on a Monday.
No.
Monday.
And then every week also.
I'm not wearing my hair ties.
I'm trying to tie my hair up.
Oh, dear.
Oh, shit.
That's really thrown me.
Sorry.
If you have a question for any of the eliminated queens, send us to us in the DMs and we'll
ask the queens for you.
Yay.
No, that's right.
Thanks for saying that.
That's nice.
It had to be said at the end of the day.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
If you want photos, yes.
I've gotten to that mania point.
Yeah.
We better go.
You've got to laugh.
Wasn't that call out
from Al Chuchichina in Cairns a bitch?
I don't, sorry.
Are we going?
I want to be honest to her, but she was rude to us.
She was over it.
She said it was the thousandth call that she'd had.
Yeah, you said so politely.
Oh, let me guess.
It's probably the hundredth call.
Thousandth, excuse you.
Yeah, but she could have hung up.
She was just happy to not be on mopping duty, I reckon.
It's a PR work on the phone.
Why did you play that?
That wasn't meant to be sassy.
Sounds like a bus accident.
Sounds like the moment I fell off the scooter in fucking Django.
The local school bus just went.
Is that you screaming?
That's me falling.
Ready the thud.
Split the island in two.
Sounds like there was a ferry accident in Sydney Harbour.
It does.
Sounds like a bomb went off on the RMS ferry.
It's like the Ruby Princess didn't realise how tall it was,
tried to go under the harbour bridge and then clipped it.
I like the echo.
It sounds like when you're in Mario Kart and you're about to win
but then you get blue shelled a metre from the ending line.
That's a lot to picture.
No, I don't understand.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all. That's all.
That's all we can ask.
So we do.
You guys got really good at that.
Now you suck again.
So we do.
So we do.
Look, I dare someone to get a tattoo that says, so we do.
Just put it out there.
Oh, yeah.
Because that's like vague.
It doesn't mean anything, really.
So if anyone says, what the fuck's that tattoo?
You can just make some shit up.
I dare you pussies to get a photo of our heads on you.
Get a photo?
Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
And give Jenna a rack.
And make my tattoo of me with my hands clasped.
Yeah, you've got your clasped hands covering your bodice.
And Mitch's ankles are tied in a knot.
I dare someone to do it.
Alright, someone design it and then someone get it inked on their body.
One job is far more permanent.
You're asking a lot from people.
Hey, if our fans want to win the secret trip we're going to give away.
On the Ruby Princess.
On the Ruby Princess.
Via the Harbour Bridge.
Via the Harbour Bridge.
And let me tell you, it's a tall ship and a low bridge.
I think I won that.
Like for the best describer.
Description.
You did, you did.
Mine was shocking.
Also, you said fairy, then I just said fairy as well.
You said RMS fairy.
It's like someone bazooka'd a bin chicken.
That was good.
Yeah.
Next week, we will announce the winner of our tropical holiday.
Don't forget.
Yeah, Prizekeeper Jenna, you've got a week to get on that.
Imagine if Jenna just bought it herself because she was like panicked.
She's like, fuck, I don't want to do meetings to try and organise this.
She just buys a holiday.
Don't forget.
She's good for it.
If you haven't applied already, go and apply now.
And we're not going to tell you where to go again because you've said it so many times.
But the winner.
Head to the link.
Just up here in the top corner.
Go ahead and tap this link.
This one here.
Yeah, tap this link here. And you could win a trip. Link is in the bio. I see the link. Just up here in the top corner. Go ahead and tap this link. This one here. Yeah, tap this link here.
And you could win a trip.
Link is in the bio.
I see the bio.
No, it's not.
It's not.
It's not.
No, it's tap.
Oh, we took it out.
Tap here.
Everyone at Flight Centre called us and they said,
you removed that bio.
And we went, fuck, okay.
Do you reckon that Jen is secretly rich?
Secretly?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not true.
I'm going to quickly Google how much a skin graft costs.
I'm trying to go.
It's not a skin graft.
It's a gum graft, and it cost me $1,600.
A drop in the ocean, Jenna.
Price of a gum graft.
Oh, between $600 and $1,200.
So you paid too much.
She got the high-end one.
No, but I didn't have a single graft.
I had three.
You know who pays too much?
Who doesn't care about what they pay?
Rich folks.
The rich. Like Jenna. I had three. You know who pays too much? Who doesn't care about what they pay? Rich folks.
Like Jenna. I had three, so
I got a discount on that. If you were poor, you would
have Googled, how much is a skin graft?
That's a single. I got three.
And then her post-operation recovery
was her at home being like, Jeeves,
more gauze. Jeeves,
I need someone to remove the pus.
Ew. Bring the pus straw,
Jeeves. This wheat bag is the pus straw, Jeeves.
This wheat bag is not hot enough, Jeeves.
Jeeves!
I couldn't talk, so I wasn't doing that.
Next week. No, that's right.
She couldn't talk.
She was just like...
Yeah.
And Jeeves knew.
Wow.
He'd come running.
How disgusting of you to announce, Jenna, that you didn't even talk to Jeeves.
You just rang a bell.
Shut up!
The hide on her.
And she just gave him this look like, you know what that means.
Yeah.
Shut up.
Three rings for wheat bag, four rings for the downstairs service.
Oh, God.
That did not happen.
Jeeves knew what he had to do.
Slowly parts her legs.
Oh, God.
I told you.
I'm getting manic.
Oh, no.
All right.
Next week, the tropical holiday will be announced.
Thank you for listening.
We love you.
Leave us a five star.
Love you.
And we will see you in a week. Catch you soon. Thanks, idiots. holiday will be announced. Thank you for listening. We love you. Leave us a five-star review. And we will see you in a week.
Catch you soon.
Thanks, idiots.
Bye.
See ya.
