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 Julie and Mitchell Coon. Oh, hello, Mitchell. What's up? Welcome back, idiots. Welcome to the f***ing show. Just wanted to do it, you know? Our new sense of beef.

Yeah. That's going to really catch people off guard. Oh yeah. But when are we ever going to use it? Because we just swear openly. Oh yeah, well maybe we've shot ourselves in the foot. We don't need a Show Bleep. No, not really. We've got it up our sleeve. But it's nice to have. Yeah, in case we ever do like, you know, ABC go, hey, we want you to do a kids show. Actually, the only

reason I'd ever need to use the Sensor Beep is when you mention cigarette brand names, because that's against the codes and you do it all the fucking time. Yeah, I do. I do, actually. You're like, oh, my God, I'm going to go to the server and buy a packet of...

You're not allowed to say that. No, I'm not. Good point. Because it can be seen as advertising. I like that. Yeah, we'll just use it for things when we break codes, when we're illegal in the podcasting. If you ever talk about open court cases...

Yeah. ..and it could influence the jury, beep it out. Cardinal George Pell is in... ..today. Pricekeeper Genesee. Hi, Jenna. Hi. Looking nice in a puff jury. Beep it out. Cardinal George Pell is in today. Pricekeeper Genesee. Hi, Jenna. Hi. Looking nice in a puffer.

You think she looks good? Yeah. Doesn't she always wear that, though? No, I feel like I've not seen you in that before. No, it's been a while. You look good. Thank you. Thank you so much.

This is fascinating. This is good radio. Have you heard about the- Not even radio. The Chris Dawson case? Oh, I have, yeah. What's happening with that? It started with the...

No, I just wanted you to be sued for defamation. You were really screwing her over there. And you didn't even say it. Tell you what, Lisa Wilkinson could have done with one of these at the fucking Logie. Dumbass. Imagine. I'd love to accept this Logie on behalf of... She was so strong during the...

We should call Lisa and tell her. Tell her what? That we have... There's a good option, you know? Just carry around a bleep. I'm not really on speaking terms with her,

are you? No, I'm not. Nor do I want to be. You could. Your DM's open. You know if you message someone once, then you talk again,

they get the notification. Have you messaged her about the whole hair straightening thing? No, no, no, but she posted me on her grid. Her grid? Yeah.

Did she tag you? Yeah. Would have been her daughter. She literally wrote in the caption, oh, my daughter just showed me this TikTok and I just had to repost it. So if you scroll back far enough, I'm on Lisa Wilkinson's Instagram. What a claim to fame. Not really.

Claim to shame. Yeah, well, she is shamed at the moment. Well, it's great to have you all back here. It's great to be here for another week. And actually. Well, it's great to have you all back here. Yeah. It's great to be here for another week. And actually, Jenna, it's a very sad day. Why? I mean, I'm celebrating back end, but Mitchell has announced the death and the loss of the podcast he also hosted, Trash Alley.

Mitchell. It's over. The show has been cancelled by the network. No, it's not. Oh, I haven't read the article. No, the show must go on. I didn't watch the project last night, so I didn't get the details. No, there's a new Trash Alley co-host stepping in for me.

Oh, my God. Yeah. Big shoes to fill. Yeah. What happened there? Do you want to give us the scoop? Give us the scoop. Oh, God.

You'll just have to go and listen only on Spotify. I did a full spiel. Basically, I just said, oh, I'm a miserable sad sack at the moment. I've got too much on my plate. I've got to focus on myself. That's actually why Matt loves doing the show. What? When there's a lot on the plate.

Sorry, sorry. It's a sad, sombre time. You've got no reason to be catty towards him. No reason whatsoever. I know, but people can make other jokes. It's the only thing I can do. Right, okay. I also love a full plate.

And don't we know it. So it's sad. Yeah, nah. It's a shame I had to call Right, okay. I also love a full plate. And don't we know it. So it's sad. Yeah, no. It's a shame I had to call it quits, but, you know, it is what it is. Yeah. You've got to do what you've got to do. You know, when you look at the money brought in by both shows, it's chalk and cheese, really.

I mean, the decision was made for it. Which one's more expensive, chalk or cheese? I don't know. You be the judge. Anyway, I will say, in great news... I feel like if you got a kilo of chalk, that would be more expensive than a kilo of cheese. Sorry, I'm thinking about that.

It depends on when it was. You know, in medieval times. True, because chalk was very expensive. Absolutely, I was there. Where would you even go to buy chalk now? Who uses it? I think you'd go to Officeworks, wouldn't you? Oh, yeah. That's like that expression, what's heavier, a kilo of feathers or a kilo of brick?

And the answer is they're the same. We know. It's just a fuckload more feathers. It tricks you, doesn't it? Because you think, well, it's clearly the brick. Nah, I don't. Otherwise, it is funny. Have you seen those viral videos where people just don't get it?

Yeah. They're like, no, the bricks are heavier. Anyway, it's sad to see you go, but I will pivot and just say there's light in the shade. You know, feather and brick. Where there is death, from ashes to ashes, dust to dust, this show is not going anywhere. Ijeom is staying. We've actually signed on a multi-million dollar multi-year deal. We haven't actually discussed that.

I'm assuming that we are staying unless either of you have anything you want to tell me. Let's do it now. I mean, I'm happy to stay here. Okay, good. Jenna? Yeah? Yeah, we'll sell John. That's a binding contract just so you know. Yeah, okay.

Can I tell you that I actually got a message from someone. You know that anonymous thing you can do on Instagram where it's people sending questions anonymously? Oh, I love that. It's like Ask.fm. Remember Ask.fm back in the day? No, everyone's usually pretty sweet on there. it's people sending questions anonymously. Oh, I love that. It's like Ask FM. Remember Ask FM back in the day? No, everyone's usually pretty sweet on there. I don't get any trolling, but

I got a message saying, oh, hi, I love both of your podcasts. Is everything okay with you and Cheery? I feel like you're just dead set over Idgim and it won't last much longer. And I was like, well, have you got a fucking surprise coming? It's the other podcast I'm pulling the pin on. Interesting. It's just you felt so comfortable around me because he's been crying about the decision.

And I said, do it. Leave. Stop lying. Everything you've said today has been a lie. Not everything. Maybe she's got a point. Who's she? The bitch that said you sound fed up with Cheery.

There's just some days where I'm like, just talk like a normal person instead of fibbing. Oh, the show would be so boring. If there was no embellishing, a bit of salt and pepper on everything, you know? No, too much salt and pepper. It's not good for your cholesterol. I could. Don't get me started on my cholesterol. You'd know.

It's shocking, truly. So there's no multi-million dollar deal. I wasn't crying to you about leaving the show. What other lies have there been so far? I've lost track. All right, I won't embellish. Maybe I should go back to Trash Alley. No. Fuck. No.

Fuck. No. Well, they've already hired a co-host. Oh, well. What if I just refuse to leave? Imagine how fun that would be. What if you just call, should we call Matt now and say that you've changed your mind? Oh, he'd know that we're fucking with him.

Oh, really? Yeah. He's too switched on. What if we call David, your manager, and go, hey, I want back in. Oh my God, no. By COB today. Yeah. No, that's just cruel.

Is it? Although I kind of want to. We could. I don't know if I want to. What if I call on your behalf and say he doesn't have the guts to do it? He would definitely know that way. Shit. All right, should we do the show?

Why don't we mull that over? We could do that later on if you're interested No, I'm doing it now Oh shit, alright Okay, do you want music or anything? Hi, Daryl Hi, Chuck How are you?

Yeah, good, what about you? I am good, thank you Just, you know, tracking along as always Oh, gorgeous Have you heard the episode where I announced I was leaving? I have, and I actually was meant to message you this morning. I listened to it on the way into the office. Oh, gorgeous.

And then when I was cleaning up the kitchen, and, yes, sorry, it's been a manic morning here. I was actually going to message you saying that I was really, really proud of you because it was – Oh, thank you. Yeah, it was – I think that, like, you handled it really, really well, and I was talking to Fenella afterwards, and I was like, I think it's quite easy to make like light of things and share a message

that maybe is like a bit uncomfortable. Shut up. Like I think that you actually like push to explain things more and really kind of touch on something that's obviously very personal and very sensitive. I think that it was a really, really nice form to do it. And, yeah, I was listening, just feeling very, very proud of you. I've gotten heaps of messages about it, actually.

People were like, oh, my God, that really, you know, struck a chord. And it really made me, like, think, oh, Jesus, have I made the wrong decision? So how do I tell Michelle that I kind of want to stay now? What are you laughing at? Are you actually being serious? Yeah. Wait, what? I was like, oh, no, I don't want to throw it all away.

Do you actually want to stay? Yeah, how should I go about that? I, God, I don't even know. It's tricky, isn't it? Yes. Yes I Like literally on the spot I don't know how that would

Go down Yeah no it is an awkward one So I might leave that with you You can tell Michelle I'm not going anywhere Okay let me I can have that conversation Oh god you're good sorry I hated this.

Mitch, Terry, dare me to do this. That was my idea, David. Am I on your other podcast? Yeah, you are. Sorry, my only podcast. You're on the lucrative podcast. Hi, David. Oh, I had a feel.

I felt like I was being pranked into that. You handled that so well with such grace. I've never heard him flail like that. I mean, I could kind of like tell, tell from a few of, like, Mitchell's, like, inflections and tones. I was like, I feel like he's egging me on, but also because of his fragile mental health, like, a really... LAUGHTER Oh!

Like, when people are really mentally unwell and you're like, anything that you believe in, like... Anything you believe! LAUGHTER No, he's breaking up. Sorry, Tunnel. Sorry, Tunnel, David. Is there anything you believe? No, he's breaking up. Sorry, Tunnel. Sorry, Tunnel David. But also he had points.

Oh, that was fun. Well done. I didn't like that. No, it was good. You're staying on this show. Did I say in character well? You were really good. Oh, my God.

I was so impressed. I was convinced. That takes guts. And you've got a good manager there. He listens to you. Yeah. God love him. All right.

Let's go. Let's start the actual show. If it's your first time listening, we start the show the same way every week. Something you've noticed, something you hate or appreciate. You and we both bring one. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. Why don't I go first?

Because I saw an ad for this on TV and I thought, this is riveting. I can't wait to watch. Sink my teeth in. Yeah, go for it if you want. All right. What's yours? What's the theme of yours? Speaking of fragile mental health, road rage.

Oh, I've got a lot to say on that. Great. Well, who's going first then? I'll jump in. I'll go. Oh, if you insist. No, do you want to? No, you go.

Okay, all right. Fragile mental health, whatever. It doesn't matter. Well, there is words. How is your mental health? Oh, well, you wait until you hear the episode of No, you go. Okay, all right. Fridge on mental health, whatever. It doesn't matter. Well, there is words. How is your mental health? Oh, well, you wait until you hear the episode of Trash Island. Okay. All right, let's go.

Is it just me or... Can you not wait to turn on ABC on premiere night to watch this brand new show they've just launched? Have a listen. We're travelling all over Australia to try and find Australia's favourite tree. Wow. Australia's favourite tree? Yeah, they've really run out of ideas.

I love it. I mean, how do you narrow it down? It's just so hard, isn't it? Jacaranda. Gum. Oak. Very subjective. Pine.

Paperbark. Even there. I think I've run out already. Same. I don't know. Christmas. Yeah, that's good. Is synthetics, are they involved?

Yeah, exactly. Bonsai. Bonsai. Are they trees? In the middle of August. Yeah, little mini trees. But Christmas trees aren't, they're really October, November, December. So they're going to miss the Christmas tree.

Yeah, the best tree changes season by season. Yeah, and you go in autumn, you get the brown of the trees. Change of season by season. Yeah, and you go in autumn, you get the brown of the trees. I just can't wait to sit and really sink my teeth into that nine-part series. Nine parts? Are you serious? This is real.

One more time. I just want to hear the excitement in this presenter's voice. We're travelling all over Australia to try and find Australia's favourite tree. Wow. What show is it? What's it actually called? Let me get the name. Trees Are Us. Australia's favourite tree. Wow. What show is it? What's it actually called? Oh, let me get the name. Trees Are Us.

Australia's favourite tree. I'll find it because I just saw the promo. RuPaul's Tree Race? I don't know. One gets eliminated every week. How do they lip sync at the edge of Sway in the Window or something? Yeah. Oh, look what they're doing.

I don't know. So you think you can sway? Yeah. Oh, my God. That's good. What's Australia's favourite tree? That's the name of the show, allegedly. They didn't even put thought into the name. No, that's a terrible name. It's true.

Why do I kind of want to watch it, though? Oh, my God. After two rounds of voting and more than 180,000 votes. What? They're going to unpack it. That's so many votes. No, that's unfair. I didn't know there was a poll.

Yeah, bullshit. I want my say in this plebiscite. I was not made aware of this. It's a plebiscite. Albo's done so much for this country. Oh, these are some of the trees, right? This is on their website. So these are some trees that they're going to look at.

The boab. Never heard of her. Never heard of the tree. It's WA, Kimberley's most iconic tree. The gum. Oh, we all. Yeah. We all love a good gum.

Oh, the wattle. I thought that was more of a bush. Yeah, same. Yeah. It should be disqualified. Why is that? Because that's a bush. That's not a tree.

I agree. Oh, the kari. The Morton Bay fig. Oh, that's a good one. I have to say, I don't get turned on by trees. But if I had to pick a favourite tree, I think it'd be the fig tree. There's one near I live in Glebe and it's gorgeous. I love them.

Is that a fig tree I'm looking at now? Yeah. Oh, that's those things with the big fuck off stumps that you can sit on. Yes. Yeah. It's almost like garden benches. Yes. What's this? Oh, the world's tallest flowering tree. Are we going to go through all of them? I've got to be honest, I'm losing interest. Yeah. I don't know how they're going to get nine parts out of this. And most of them are bushes. A lot of them are bushes. I don't understand. Jenny, you should enter your bush because I'll tell you, people would vote for that. I know.

Well, I thought it was just trees. But if it's bushes, then why not? Agreed. Can't wait to watch that series. I'm so glad our taxpaying dollars are going towards Australia's favourite tree. I kind of want to watch it, though. I've been getting into this mindless shit like that that doesn't make you think that much. Like Selling Houses Australia.

Green designs. Oh, I love Selling Houses Australia. Sometimes, you're so right, the mind-numbing shows, all those cop shows that are on, they're kind of like SVU. It really doesn't challenge me in any way. No. The FBI. There's no tension. Zero tension. Are you ready for yours?

Yep, let's do it. Is it just me or... Do you feel much less giving and generous when someone just pushes in front of you in traffic and then waves at you as if you let them in? Yeah. You gave me no choice. Yeah.

They just pushed in and waved like, I'm cutting in front of you. Yeah. When they're trying to merge in or turn into your lane, they just push in. I'm like, screw you, dog. Yeah, I agree. It's almost like I'd rather you not wave because it fits in with your mentality of being a fuck yeah exactly but if i slow down and go no no i insist and i let them in that's when they can go thank you yeah and wave and i'm like oh god i did a good thing but when they just push in front of me and still wave i'm like no oh you know don't act polite when you

just cut in front of me you bitch yeah don't gaslight me into thanking you back. My new thing is I press my hazard lights once. That's my thank you. I saw a taxi. I don't think you meant to do that. I do. I think that's illegal. No, it's not. A taxi driver did it.

I let them in and it was an obvious I had to slow down to let them in. And he went, and it was him saying thank you. And I do it all the time now. I don't know if that's going to catch on because if I saw someone with their hazards on, I'd pull over and be like, oh shit, there's something going wrong. It's just one blink of both lights. Like a thanks, like the car's smiling. Thank you.

Oh, that's cute. I feel like logistically that would be harder than just waving. You've got to time it. It's actually quite hard. Yeah, I don't like that. It's actually very dangerous. I don't like that. That's my new thing.

You know what I've noticed that I keep doing? You know how when you're merging lanes, like you want to merge right, merge left, it's a rule that you're not meant to merge whilst you're in the traffic lights. You can only merge when you're actually in the lane. But if you're going through traffic lights, you're not meant to cross lanes at an intersection. Every time, and I'm not exaggerating, every time I merge, I'm like, fuck me, I'm in traffic lights again. How do I keep doing this? Every time I indicate to merge into a lane, it just happens to fall when I'm going through traffic lights. And it's getting to a point where it's getting spooky.

I'm like, how does this keep happening? Yeah. Every time. So it's like a jaywalk through the traffic lights in my car. Have anyone ever pulled you up on it? Have you ever been pulled over in the middle of it? No, I don't even know why that's a law. Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like I do that all the time.

Apparently it's also not a law when you're entering a roundabout to give way to your right. Really? What? Really? It's recommended to L-plate. It's because you don't want to accidentally fuck yourself up. But apparently it's just whoever's there first.

Wow. If there's someone coming from the right and you're like, yeah, I can make it, fang it. I'm in a hire car at the moment because my car's getting repaired because I told you how it reversed into a Mercedes Benz listening to the new Beyonce, right? Really? That is going to need repairs?

It was nothing. Yeah. No, because I've got to do an insurance claim because I hit their car. So I may as well get my car done. Anyway, I'm in like this giant RAV4. So I'm just driving through the streets. I don't even turn at roundabouts anymore. I drive over them.

It was so exhilarating. I go, I could. I'm in a four-wheel drive. So I did. What's exhilarating about that? Yeah, because you're up high. You don't feel it. I go, I don. I'm in a four-wheel drive, so I did. What's exhilarating about that? Yeah, because you're up high. You don't feel it. I go, I don't need to turn. I'm above turning. No, I don't like that. In fact, I just drive straight everywhere I go. From Glebe, where I live, to Kiss, I just drive in one straight line. Through the sea. Oh yeah, you can get through

the sea in a RAV, yeah. Off-road driving. Off-road driving, on-sea driving. That's great fun. Is it just me? Got something on your mind? Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show. All right, time to give some free stuff away. Jenna, get your fingers ready to type in a name and an address. We're going to send a prize.

Maddie's Way, she's joined us. Hello, Maddie, down in Melbourne. Welcome to the show. Hi, Tuk. Hello. Thanks for having me. Where are you at the moment? What are you doing?

I'm in Melbourne. It is a bit echoey, though, because I'm in an old classroom. Wait, are you a teacher? Yes. I don't just hang around. I'm in school. And you could be a canteen lady. I don't fucking know.

Or a grounds worker. What are they called? A librarian. A lollipop. You could make a canteen lady. I don't fucking know. Or a grounds worker. What are they called? A librarian. A lollipop. You could make mulch. You know how there's a lot of mulch on school grounds? There's always a mound of mulch on a school ground. They love bark chips.

They love bark chips. You know what I mean? A mound of bark chips. Always in a playground. There always is. Are they going to distribute that? Smartboard's still a thing. I remember when I was in school, it was like smartboards,

the board of the future. Do you still use that? No, most of my teachers, I remember, they just gave up because they're too hard. Technical issues. Are you the same? Yeah, they're shit. Really?

See? Horrible. Interesting. Back to our chalk debate. So you can't beat chalk. That's why the value of chalk will always be through. Do you still use chalk? Oh, God, no.

Absolutely not. How's your whiteboard handwriting still use chalk? Oh, God, no. Absolutely not. How's your whiteboard handwriting? Any good? It's a bit shit. I've been called out for it. Do you guys still do tutti fruity fruit break? I don't think we have that in Victoria. Interesting.

Is that a New South Wales thing? Did you do tutti fruity fruit break? No. Jenna? 15-minute tutti fruity fruit break. You had to bring a piece of fruit and you had 15 minutes to eat it. No. No, we just had recess and lunch like normal people.

Oh, no. We had recess, lunch, Tutti Frutti Fruit Break and book hour. Do you have to keep saying Tutti Frutti Fruit Break? No one calls it that. We branded it. It was sponsored by BP. All right, Helen. Sorry, we're getting carried away.

Her name's not Helen. Jessica, Brad's going to count you in and then you hit us with your ears. It's just you, okay? All right. All right, go for a bell. Is it just me or? Is it not a flex in the slightest when singers say, oh, I wrote this song in the shower. I wrote this song in 10 minutes.

And then earn fucking millions from it. It's not okay. I sit and teach fucking Shakespeare all day for minimum wage and they're earning millions for a shower. So you're jealous is what I'm hearing. Probably. It is weird though because Lady Gaga has said that she wrote Poker Face in 10 minutes, maybe Paparazzi.

There were a couple of songs from that very first album that were all just written in 10 minutes. They just came to her. But then I feel like there'd be other days where it'd be like, you'd have to really slave away at it. You'd get writer's block. So not all of them would take 10 minutes, I don't reckon. Literally, my job, Maddie, is to interview artists and they always say this.

They always go, this song's such a hit. What was it different? How was it different? They always say this. They always go, this song's such a hit. Like, what was it different? How was it different? And they always say, it came to me. I wrote it in two minutes. It came and it was just, it was, Taylor Swift says it all the time. You're right. That's not a flex.

But don't you get ideas come to you in the shower, Maddie, surely? Yeah, but they still have to do some bloody work. They're not supposed to slave it away. Yeah, well, I mean, they had to go fucking record the song and all that rubbish as well and shoot a music video. They didn't just have a shower and then be like, right, here's my BSB and account number. Pay me, bitch.

Where the irrational anger comes from is Bruno fucking Mars. That little weasel of a man wrote Up Down Funk, which is, look, Up Down Funk is not a good song. It was the biggest song of the time, though. It was big. Now it's growing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't put it on. Put it that way. I wouldn't. It's. It was big. Now it's growing. Yeah. Yeah.

I wouldn't put it on. Put it that way. I wouldn't pick it. It's been done to death. Put it that way. You know what I just remembered? You know what idea came to me in the shower? What?

Trash Alley, the podcast. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Yeah, Matt and I had literally been saying, oh, let's do a podcast. Let's do a podcast for months and then just in the shower one day. I literally stopped the shower halfway through. There were still bubbles in my hair and I was like, I just thought of it. Turned it off.

Went and grabbed my phone. Voice message. I've got it. We'll call it smoker section. And then I came back. Actually, no. Trash Alley would be better, wouldn't it? There you go.

But that didn't earn you millions. What would you know? Well, look what shows not being cancelled by the network. That's all I'll say to you. That was the other lie. I knew there was another one. Reggie. All right, thank you for coming on the show.

Thanks, Miss. Jenna will send you out a prize, okay? Wonderful. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. God, I should have had the fucking ready for her.

What a potty mouth. And I think there were kids in the background. Did you hear that too? Imagine if halfway through her, is it just me? She goes, no, you're in detention. Stay seated. halfway through her, is it just me? She goes, no, you're in detention. Stay seated. She just goes, is it just me? Or the musicians paid far too much.

Well, it's worth it. She got a prize. And if you want to come on for an is it just you as well, all you've got to do is hit us up on Instagram at couple of mitches. Right. Now I need to get your opinion on something, okay? Because I went to my nephew's fifth birthday over the weekend. Oh, Noah, I saw the photos.

I know. It's cute. Noah's five already, can you believe? I know. And there was something he was saying to me that I was a bit concerned about, okay? Oh, no, a five-year-old? Yeah. What kind of conversation can you have with a five-year-old?

Well, we were on the trampoline together. I mean, a marvellous time. And then out of nowhere, he just says to me, Uncle Mitchell, are you a girl? And I said, no. Why do you think that? Because I've got long

hair. And he goes, no, it's because you're wearing pink. And I said, well, it's fucking orange for starters, Noah, just so you know. And he goes, no, it's pink. And I called my dad in for backup. I was like, Ian, what colour is this shirt? And he says, oh, it's peach.

I'm like, you're not fucking helping, Ian. You're absolutely not helping. I'm going to show you a photo. Is that not orange? Oh, that's clearly orange. Let's see. Yeah. It's like a pastel orange, if anything? Show me that. Oh, that's clearly orange. Let's see. Yeah. It's like a pastel orange, if anything.

It's a bit light, but it's orange. Yeah. So it's a faded orange moment. But anyway, I said to him, that's beside the point, Noah. Yes. Boys are allowed to wear pink. Correct. Of course.

And he says, no, they're not. My dad said that boys are allowed to wear any colour under the rainbow except pink because that's for girls. What? What? And I thought, well, rainbow except pink because that's for girls. What? What? And I thought, well, firstly, I thought, that doesn't sound like something my brother-in-law would say. But if he did say that, then I've got no choice than to knock him the fuck out.

Yes. If he's actually teaching my nephew that shit, we're going to have a problem. And I love that he doesn't draw a line at, he didn't wear purple, but he draws a line at fucking pink. I know, but also every colour under the rainbow. Gay? Yeah. Any colour outside of Stonewall on Oxford Street.

I think that's gay. And I said, anyway, no, Noah, boys can wear pink. It's fine. They can wear any colour under the rainbow, including pink. Good. And he said, no, there's a TV show I watch every night before bed, and one of the boys gets teased for wearing pink because that's a girl's colour.

And I said, okay, and what did the boys say back to that, thinking that there might be a happy ending here? Surely there is. And he goes, he says, you're right. Pink is for girls. And I was like, this shit wouldn't fly in 2022. There's no way that show exists. So I said, what's the show called, Noah?

And he goes, it's called Pinkies for Girls. And I'm like, here we go. I've called him out. So I have a feeling that he may have just been trolling me because surely that fucking show doesn't exist. And surely he's not being taught that. Oh, my goodness. Surely my sister is not raising a child to believe that rubbish. We're going to have to go straight to the source.

We're going to have to call your sister. I'm sorry. We could just Google the TV show. No, no. There's no way we can call the production company behind Pink for Girls, the show, which, by the way, is a terrible show. If it does exist, that's a terrible name. I know, terrible plot line.

A boy gets teased for wearing pink. One episode? And then he goes, you're right, you've got a point. Maybe one season, if that, but that's a stretch. But he watches it every night before he goes to bed, I reckon. Of course he does. And do you think his dad's even said this? Hold on, this is my sister's number.

There you go. Okay, great. If you want to ring her. No, there's no way that his dad was saying that shit. Also, I have to say- But he didn't break, which made me think maybe he's being serious and he believes this stuff, or he was just fucking with me and he just never dropped character.

Kids have shockingly good poker faces. It was bizarre. I was so thrown. All right, should I call the landline number, do you think, or the mobile? Just go with the mobile. I love that she's still alive. I think that might be our home phone from when we were kids. That would go to Jane and Ian's farm, that number.

All right, here we go. I'm going to call your sister. This is Nicole. Now, should I be rude and really griller? No. Hello? Now, should I be rude and really griller? No.

Hello? Listen. I've got some questions about your child. We speak. You listen. Yeah, Mitch and Jenna are here too. Sorry. I'm living. Hi.

Mitch, tell your sister what's happened. So, I'm pretty sure one of two things has happened. One, Noah has been poorly parented. Or two, he's fucking with me. I think your son might be trolling me. Because on the weekend he was saying that I'm a girl because I was wearing pink and only girls can wear pink. And I tried to rebut by saying, no, no, no, that's not true.

But then he doubled down and said, no, my daddy told me only girls can wear pink and that I watch a TV show every night before bed called Pink is for Girls. What the heck? So is he trolling me? Oh, he's totally trolling you. As if a show like that would exist. That's what he said. What a cheeky little bugger.

Wow. But he didn't break. He never ever broke character and gave up the bit. That's quite the opposite of what he's been taught, actually. We're always like, all colors are for everybody to enjoy. And we tried really hard not to push certain colors on the kids just because they're a boy or a girl. And yet I've got this little girl who's obsessed with pink.

Oh, Anna is such a girly girl. That's her choice, though. Oh, she is, yep. Yeah, well, okay. Well, I retract my threat to knock your husband out then if he hasn't been saying that. No, definitely not. Yeah, Noah's messing with you.

He's learnt how to do that lately. I was going to say, that's very impressive. He's following. Is that a new thing that he's learning how to troll people? For a five-year-old? Yeah. Yeah, his favourite thing to do is call people the wrong name and just roll with it. Oh, my God. He's following. Is that a new thing that he's learning how to troll people? For a five-year-old? Yeah. Yeah. His favorite thing to do is call people the wrong name and just roll with it. Oh my God. He's a little Mitch Cherry. I was going to say. He's a little

embellisher. He is an embellisher because he chose a line. He committed to it. Yeah. Oh, he commits. Yeah. Does he listen to this podcast perhaps? I thought of all the things that would have confused him because the first thing he said was, Uncle Mitchell, you must be a girl. And I thought he was talking about my long hair. I thought that all the things that would have confused him because the first thing he said was, Uncle Mitchell, you must be a girl. And I thought he was talking about my long hair. I thought that's going to confuse him. But no, it was the pink shirt, which was fucking orange. Has he asked about it?

Has he discussed it? Like, oh, the hair or the shirt? Has he asked you, like, when you get home? Oh, we've had a few conversations about long hair because he's got some cousins who have got long hair, little boys. And so we were talking about it and um he said oh i can't remember he said something one day about boys who look like girls and then i i came back with are they boys who look like girls or are they just boys who

have long hair and then he was a bit confused by that um he had an epiphany figure everything out have you explained to him that Uncle Mitchell is not Auntie Mitchell? I guess so. I mean, I've never had to. He just calls me Uncle Mitchell. Okay, good. Because he was so adamant that I was a woman. And when I said, no, I'm not, he's like, no, you are.

Yeah, no, he's tormenting you. Wow, what a little shit. I'm more impressed that he's tormenting you. That's quite impressive. No. Well, you've got to tell him that the key to a good joke is eventually getting to the punchline and saying, nah, I'm fucking with you.

Yeah, yeah, let him know that he needs to work on the end. He's very advanced. He knows how to just commit and stick with it. You've got a con artist on your hands. He really messed with my head. I was like, maybe I am a woman. Maybe he's right. All right, go pick him up and get him a soft serve or something.

He's earned it now that we know he's not a bigot. Oh, dear. Sorry about that. No worries. No, you're all right. Sorry, Tunnel. All right, bye. She's gone.

I don't want her. There you go. There's not a baby bigot. Baby bigot. The baby bigot. Now, that's a show that I'd watch at night. Just a baby that goes around knocking down disabled ramps. You know?

No, a baby at Mardi Gras and they just go, not in front of the kids. What you do in your bedroom is fine, but don't do it in front of the kids. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Now, do you remember last week we were talking about how Jenna's been doing her job running the WSFM Facebook page for ages? Surely she's sick of it and she's looking for other options.

Oh, look at Mitch yawning. Are we boring you, darling? Oh, you're not meant to bring it up. I yawned off mic. You definitely went... I did not. Roll the tape. I went around the mic.

If you picked up on that yawn, props to you. Anyway. Yeah, we were saying that, oh, God, Jenna must be sick of her job. She's been doing it for years. So long. I've got an idea for another job that you should be doing, Jenna. I think you should fucking volunteer. Not volunteer.

I think you should be putting your hand up to run the Masked Singer Facebook page instead. Oh, why? Why the Masked Singer? Because whoever's doing it now is fucking it up. Why? Because, oh, you know how obviously the whole mystery is the celebrity under the mask.

In previous years, they've done those little videos that say, spoiler alert, three, two, one. I'm a countdown, yes. Yeah, and in the video it doesn't show you for three seconds or so who went home. Now they've just started posting photos of the celebrity and they write in the caption, spoiler alert, it's Shannon Knoll. And it's like, well, by the time I've read the caption, I've already seen the face.

Yeah, that's not how it works. Not that I'm overly invested in Masked Singer. I really couldn't care less at the moment. They should do a carousel. Drag Race do the carousel where it's got a little spoiler title card. And then when you swipe the winners to the right. Yeah, but people make that mistake too. Yeah.

Because they write spoiler alert in the first slide on Instagram, but then the post will reappear later and it automatically is on the second photo. Oh, it does. You're right. So the video is the best option. The best way to do it. Okay.

You know what else is the worst? What? Those carousel posts on Instagram. The first slide is, warning, this is disturbing, revolting, disgusting content only swipe if you dare and then sure enough like I said the same post resurfaces on the second photo and it's some foul rank looking pimple and I'm like I didn't swipe for a reason why are you showing me why does it do that is that because you get it wants you to see the second photo as well yes

yes it's just it's just an Instagram thing that they do in the feed so yeah if you don't want to spoiler alert put it on the fucking third slide. It won't do it a third time. But anyway, yeah, they're fucking it up. Jenny, are you here to apply for a job there? Yes, I do because I don't like that personally. But I don't understand because all the comments are saying, Oi, I'm in Perth. How dare you ruin the Masked Singer for me?

Fair enough. Because writing spoiler alert in the caption achieves fuck all. I don't know why they're doing it wrong. I feel like unless they get a complaint, because they're Facebook managers ignoring the complaints on Facebook, then they're not going to make any changes. You know who mentioned to me that they have a problem with this? Who? I was on the phone to her this morning and she mentioned it.

Dot Wiggins. No, she'd be furious. She's furious, yeah. She would follow the Masked Singer on Facebook. She only follows three pages. That, Nigella Lawson official. Yeah, of course. And her local area alert news. She only follows three pages. That, Nigella Lawson official. Yeah, of course. And her local area alert news.

Yeah, right. Yeah, the only three pages. She's got friends, of course. But she gets it spoiled for her. It's been a while since we've heard from Dot Wiggins, who is Mitch's alter ego, a 90-year-old woman. Should I go get her? She's here.

Oh, my God. If you want. She's in the car. Hold on. Please. What's she doing in the car? Did you at least do a crack of the window down so she could get a bit of air? No, she sleeps and she's got a sleep apnea machine,

so she gets her own oxygen from that. Let me go get her. Oh, God. I was parked outside the studio. Hello. Hi, Dot. Welcome back, lady. Who?

How are you? Who? That's Mitchell. You had work done, lady. Who? How are you? Who? That's Mitchell. Oh. You had work done, darling. Nothing too drastic, Dot. Goodness me. And how are you, girl?

Hi, Dot. Good to be here. Yeah, no, good to have you, Chook. It's been a while. All right. We're going to get Dot to call. Who should we get to call? We should go straight to the top.

Yeah, I think you need to make a complaint, Dot, because Channel 10, the Masked Singer Facebook page, keeps ruining the ending for everyone. Oh, we'll have to call the... Why don't we call... We've already called Channel 10. Remember, we've already called to complain about... No, no. We called in thick on behalf

of Dave Hughes. We're pretending to be Dave Hughes' mother, Carmel Hughes, and said, oh, we can't make it to the Masked Singer. I heard that one. Oh, did you hear that episode? Yes. Maybe call, like, Channel 10 Adelaide or something. That's where Dot would live.

Why don't we call Endemol Shine, the production company that makes The Masked Singer? The fish rocks from the head down. Actually, they probably run the Facebook page. Actually, who would be in charge of The Masked Singer Facebook page, Channel 10 or Endemol? Well, I feel like Endemol would be on top, so they would know. And if it trickles down to Channel 10 from someone at Endemol,

then that'll get their ass in line. Yeah, right. All right, so let's call Endemol Shine. And so what is Dot saying that she... Well, Dot, what's the problem? Because you've told me on the phone this morning. Are these spoilers ruining the show for her? Yes.

Speak onto the microphone. Sorry. Yes, ruining the program. I get spoiled because I don't get to watch it. As I'm on dialysis every week. Oh, don't. Oh, don't. Yes.

How are you going to call her? You don't know how. You do it for me. Okay, I'm going to call for her. Hold on, let me get the number. She's absolutely furious that the Masked Singer keeps being spoiled for her because she can never watch it at night. All right, I'm dialing. Just talk right into here.

It's Ed Demolshine. Head office. Fuck. Good afternoon, Ed Demolshine. Australia Donna speaking. Hello Donna. Oh, is that your phone going off in the background? No.

Dodd Wiggins here. I'd like to pass on a message of complaint complaint if I may Okay Just one moment What's it in regard to? God bless you I have the same thing

Thank you I can't shake it I can't seem to shake it This is in Going around This is in This is in relation to your show The Mask Singers

The Mask Singers Masked Singers. The Masked Singers, yeah. Masked Singers. I have a problem with the Facebook page in relation to The Masked Singers. See, darling, what happens is my set-top box is not digital television. It's the antenna, you see. There's problems with it. So I don't get to watch the television and watch The Masked Singer when it's on the program at night. It dies straight after the news. So I don't get to watch the television and watch the mass singer when it's on the program at night dies straight after the news so i don't get to watch the reveals who is that who is that i don't get to see it um and the problem is i have to watch it the next day

at the library i volunteer at the local library you see um so i normally catch up and sit and watch it in the tea hour. However, your Facebook page posts spoiler at 9 p.m. every eve. Spoiler! Kelly Rowland. Spoiler! Oh, no. Spoiler! Shannon Noem. And I see, I guess it's spoil for me the day the day off because it gets posted on your

Facebook page and then this ridiculous melty is screaming I know who that is and it's always spoiled for me see darling I just wanted could you talk to someone in the Facebook's team about posting it perhaps the next day or maybe a warning or not sending it out to my, because I'm friends with the Channel 10 page on Facebook, maybe unfriending or pass that down. Oh, that's no good. Yeah. Well, it's actually produced by Fox Alternative Entertainment.

So it's not actually us who produce it. Yeah. So you might want to call. What is Fox's number? Beg your pardon? What is Fox? You said Fox is the production company? They run by Fox?

Fox Entertainment? Fox. Fox. Yes. I don't actually have Fox's number. Do you have from? I just swear. Fox Entertainment.

Oh, Fox Studios. Oh, got it. Yes, yes, yes. All right, I can give them a call, my darling. You know, because they're fish. For sure. You can make a comment on their Facebook. Does it allow you to make...

I do. You should go and find it. I'm very vocal in the comments. Very vocal. Look, if you just bump it back an hour. I'm very vocal in the comments. Very vocal. Look, if you just bump it back an hour, I'm in bed by 9.35, and sometimes I don't even stay for Osher at the end. I just go straight to sleep. But please, if you could, perhaps just pass that down for me.

I will. I will. But you might want to make a comment on their Facebook, and you might be able to make a time change to when they want to announce the winners. What I might do is add you as a friend on Facebook and you help me through. I could add you as a friend and you could help me comment or comment just on my behalf, darling.

Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that. My Facebook is not in action at the moment. Oh, dear. Are you all right? No. Oh, well, I hope they can help you. All right. Thank you.

What's your name again, please? Donna. All right. Thank you, Debbie. I will call Fox Entertainment. Okay. Thank you very much. Bye. call Fox Entertainment. Okay. Thank you very much. Bye.

I think it worked. I don't think she really cared that much, did she? No, she had no care at all for you, Dot. Dot really wasn't letting the other lady talk, though. It was a Dot monologue for a bit there. Come on, Dot. Who were Fox Entertainment? Isn't that an American company?

Yeah. I can't find it anywhere. Hang on. Who produces The Masked Singer Australia? It's also... Oh, my God. You're joking. What?

Tamara Simino, the Network 10 executive producer of The Masked Singer. Tamara Simino is the lady who put me on Studio 10. Imagine if we went straight to the EP. I think the message is loud and clear. How? What's Debbie going to do? Donna, I think it's been passed on. She literally said that she wasn't going to do anything about it.

And to call Fox Entertainment. She told you to comment on the post. No, I'm not calling the EP of Masked Singer. Oh, what a little bitch you are. I wasn't asking you. I was asking Dot. Actually, sorry, I shouldn't speak for you, Dot. What do you think, Dot?

I want to sleep. Oh, no. Shit. Anyway, I think we're done with this. Let's get out of here. I agree. We're out of here. What a show.

What a show. And Mitchell, I hope you don't feel like you've made the wrong decision with which show you've left. I'm questioning some things after this episode. Well, you know. You're as bad as Noah. All the fibs that come out of your mouth. And you just commit.

Maybe you should start calling my mum and just going, Michelle, did this happen? Michelle? Maybe. Imagine if you were telling the truth this whole time and you were being paid millions of dollars for this podcast and I'm not. Imagine. Because I'm a woman. I'm like, the pay parity in the workplace is not occurring.

We're our own bosses. We'd have to have a meeting with ourselves and go, pay us more. Yeah. Anyway. All right, let's go. Great episode as per usual. Leave us a review. Five stars, please.

And the mugs are still for sale. If you want to buy one of our season four mugs, the deep, gorgeous blue-coloured mugs to add to your collection, link in still for sale if you want to buy one of our Season 4 mugs, the deep, gorgeous blue-coloured mugs to add to your collection. Link in bio on Instagram if you want to buy one. They're selling like hotcakes, darling. They're very pretty. Very nice. They're very nice.

My wicked coffee mug is ruined. Oh, no. Good point. My wicked coffee mug is ruined. Oh, alphabet. Alphabet. Alphabet. All right. Well, we'll see you in a week, guys. Much love. Catch you soon.

Bye-bye. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADT Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. We just get to talk shit here.

Nothing's planned. You know how it is. It's truly just a bit of fun. That's what this is. What are you doing over there? I know nothing. I just got a notification. What was your notification? Just an email. I want to turn my email notifications off. You should put out of office during the recordings. Can you set up a reoccurring for just a set time? Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, you can. Really? I wish I did. You know. Yeah, you can. Really? Mm-hmm. I wish I did.

You know what annoys me about ARN or working at KISS? So many conversations don't need to be emails. It's, can you do this interview at this time? Or what time are you in today? Or stupid stuff like this. It's like Hayden at TikTok uses Slack, I think it's called. It's like a chat. It's basically Facebook Messenger, but for work. I think they do have something like that here.

Yeah, we have Teams. But I just never got it. I know, but it's not like we're still run for work. I think they do have something like that here. Yeah, we have Teams. But I just never got it. I know, but it's not like we're still run by email. I don't know. The culture here is email. Don't you think? It's not a chat company. It depends on which department you're in.

Oh, you think? Yeah, a lot of people do use it. Really? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I think it's just like obnoxious fuckers like you that don't. No, that's not true. But I'm also an obnoxious fucker. I was like, there's no room for Teams on my laptop.

Not enough storage, so I'm just never using it. I could have so many Teams messages that I just never got. That's me. The other day I deleted. Imagine if I got all these messages, urgent, you're required in the boss's office now, and I just never got it. Fuck that. I had to install updates on my laptop the other day, but it wanted me to delete Sims

for pets, and I went, no. I'm just not updating. I can't delete. There's no way my laptop could other day, but it wanted me to delete Sims 4 Pets, and I went, no! I'm just not updating! I can't delete! There's no way my laptop could handle having the Sims on it. Like, that bitch drains it. Oh, God, yeah. I got all the expansion packs, too. It's very heavy.

I got one of those new computers that doesn't have the fan, like the new MacBook, so you don't know when it's in duress. I can't miss it. Because the fan is such a nice way of me going, alright, I'm going to back away and let my computer have some time and some space because it's clearly going through something. But now, like, it just freezes and I go, what the fuck? But there's no fans. I never realised that there was no fan. Maybe they're just ultra quiet, but there's no noise and no heat either. It's weird.

Yeah, there's nothing. Because mine used to be in absolute duress whenever I exported this podcast edit. Oh, God. But it doesn't do it anymore. Maybe it is still suffering, and I just don't know. Suffering in silence, bottling it all up. My old MacBook sounded like an A380 taken off. Mine did as well. So loud.

Oh, my God. Do you want to see what message I got? Yeah. Is it David? I don't appreciate it. No, no, no. It's from Bookkeeper Emily. Oh, yeah.

What has she said? My PA. Do you want to know what her task today is? Whoa. Find me a ripe avocado. No, the real estate are inspecting my apartment and it's no pets allowed. So she's taking Isabella for a drive. So they don't know I've got a cat.

Oh, my God. Oh. It's Isabella in the passenger seat. Oh, Isabella. Also, have you not thought that they could just follow you and see that you've got a cat? Because you do chronicle the tales of Isabella. I know. I did wonder. Like, they just mustn't be fans at the real estate.

No. No. Just like the MacBooks, they don't have fans there. They'd be the one person that don't follow you. I just love that this is the sort of thing that my staff... This is the shit you deal with when you're working for Mitchell Coombs. Can you take my cat for a drive?

Just so she's hidden from the real estate. Ridiculous. Where would she take her? I don't know. Where would a cat like to go? Oh, the fish markets. Put the windows down. Oh my God.

She'd be in heaven. She might jump out. She would love that. She does get curious whenever I have to drive her to the vet and stuff. She shits herself when I put her in the cage. But once she's in the passenger seat, she's trying to peer out. Where am I? What's going on?

Does she actually shit herself? Like actual nuggets? No. Of course not. I don't know. Just control of her bowels. Sorry. You're right.

I don't, clearly. Beg your pardon. My nan's cat, Hannah, used to shit itself when you put it in the cage. Oh, God. There's a problem there. They've both got such human names, Hannah and Isabella. They sound like they do year 11 drama together. Remember, Nan had two cats, Hannah and Montana.

Oh, that's right. Yeah. I also had to hide everything, like the kitty litter. Yes. Isabella's bowl. What if they wanted to go into the pantry and they see Purina? What's the brand? I'm pretty sure you're not wanted to go into the pantry and they see Purina? What's the brand? I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to go.

When you're inspecting a rental to make sure everything's not damaged, I don't think you're meant to go through the drawers and shit. They just go around and take photos of the apartment as is. It's so hard to work out what falls in the jurisdiction of real estate. My dishwasher stopped working and I called them, like, can you fix this? And they're like, that's a you problem. And I went, oh, really?

This is the only thing my real estate's ever done right, was fix the dishwasher. Really? Albeit it took them like three weeks because they're like, oh, the owner has to approve the job and the owner never approves the job. Yeah. I get my owner's mail and I read it. Shouldn't you just pay for the redirecting or whatever? Yeah, I know. Them or me? No, them. Oh, I don't know how that works. I did that when I moved last time, but you can only pay for like 30 days, and you bet your ass that in that 30 days I got no mail to the old address. Oh, and what, Auspost just like redirects it? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh. Yeah. But apparently I got a cake mail delivery to my old address. Of course, that was outside of the redirect period, wasn't it? Oh, no. So my old fucking apartment, they got to enjoy my cake. No. Bitch. That's shocking. It is. Oh, that was outside of the redirect period, wasn't it? Oh, no. So my old fucking apartment, they got to enjoy my cake. No.

Bitch. That's shocking. It is. Oh, that's horrible. That's awful. Influence of life, I guess. Couldn't think of anything worse, really, in my whole life than that. Yeah, my free cake went to waste.

No, I could cry right now. And my assistant is currently hiding my cat. What the fuck? That is ridiculous. Just saying my staff does sound wanky. What did fuck? That is ridiculous. Just saying my staff does sound wanky. What did we land on, my producer? Bookkeeper, Emily. Bookkeeper.

And also non-listeners of the podcast, if you just say bookkeeper, they'll go, oh, he's got a bookkeeper. What does a bookkeeper even do? Yeah, because you don't need to keep books. Imagine if I was like, excuse me, are you documenting all these figures digitally? Write them down, bitch. You're my bookkeeper. In the book.

Or a physical copy. I wonder if she talks to her uni friends and they go, what are you doing? I'm driving cats around. Just the one. Good for you. Really good for you. Yeah. I love it.

It's an influencer's cat, no way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, she can do the other way around and say, my client. Oh, true. Oh, yeah. Sounds professional. Client. Yeah. Oh, I do like that. Do you? Yeah, I think I do. Oh, thanks for saying that.

I do like that a lot. How's everyone's week's been? Been a good week? Oh, been a bit all over the shop with the whole trash alley announcement thing, but you know, you gotta do what you gotta do. That's full on. Out there in the shop with the whole trash alley announcement thing. But, you know, you've got to do what you've got to do. Well, it's out there now. That's full on. Out there in the world.

Yeah. It's out there. And you? Yeah, good, yeah. Yeah, thanks for reminding people, Jenna. It's out there for people to listen. Are either of you going to listen? I probably will listen to this one.

Yeah. I only really watch the big episodes of things and, you know. You can't watch this episode. I have. I've seen the finale of Friends. What? I haven't watch this episode I have, I've seen the finale of Friends What? And I haven't seen any of Friends But I've seen the last episode

So I'll do that for true Have you not seen any of Friends? No Oh bits and pieces Because Hayden loves it When it's on passively I'll watch Yeah I'm not going to be one of those people

That's like What? You've never seen Friends I don't really care that much It's a classic It set the bar for the classic comedy Shut up No I don't care

I know it's funny But no Thank you I'm not one of those people That reacts violently To like I think it set the bar for the classic comedy. Shut up. No, I don't care. I know it's funny, but no, thank you. I'm not one of those people that reacts violently to, like, people not having seen things. Like, what? You've never seen Harry Potter? I'm one of your mates. I know.

But then if people tell me they haven't seen Kath and Kim, I just think that's sad. Yeah. I feel sorry for them, really. Yeah. Some people take it very personally. And someone, they are very good, though, the Harry Potter fans. Someone goes to me, have you been on Pottermore?

And I said, no. Isn't that like The Sims but Harry Potter? Yeah, no, it puts you into a house. And you'd be such a Gryffindor. Oh, that's right. Oh, my God. I did the test and they were right. I was a Gryffindor and my wand was made out of, what, muggle poofle wood.

No, yeah, that's right. I remember we did that on Not My Cup of Tea. We were like, oh, let's go on Pottermore and find out what house we're in. And I thought, you know what, there's probably Harry Potter fans listening. I didn't realise that the fucking Pottermore quiz goes for 14 hours and there were three of us. And I was like, oh, we've got to get out of this segment now. Like, this is going for so long.

Let me have a look. I'm going to get it up because I don't know if it's still a thing. I haven't heard of it for into your account oh it's the wizarding world now because they're trying to make it like star wars like they'll want to make a universe out of it you know what's weird i was saying this the other day on trash alley um you know how people who were fans of harry potter as as a kid it stays stays with them. Like they're an adult Harry Potter fan for life. Why was it not the same for Twilight? Everyone just went through a phase and no one cares when they're in adulthood. I agree with you.

Good point. I would not defend Twilight to the death and be like, no, Stephanie Meyer's a great writer now because I know better. So they're really milking the ideas here in Potter world. True or false, the Neville Longbottom edition. Let's play. All right, I'm hitting start. He has gotten hot.

Neville had a pet toad called Tristan. True or false? Oh, I don't think it's named with Tristan. I agree. That's not a very mythical name. No. I'm going to say false. Harry Potter had an owl called Judy.

No, it's Hedwig. Hermione's ginger cat's name was Karen. Okay, that was correct. Neville's grandmother was- Imagine if that flying fucking weird bird thing called Buckbeak, the one that they ride, was actually just called Bruce. Bruce. Imagine.

Ron's rat was just called Terry. Neville's grandmother was called Augusta Longbottom. Who knows that? I'm going to say true. That sounds right. I'm going to have to turn off the Wi-Fi every time we get to ADD Brief. He always just gets to a point where he starts Googling shit. And you know what?

The week that Art Hayfield in for you, he did the same thing. He decided Googling shit at a certain point in the episode. And I was like, why did this always happen? Am I not that interesting? No, no. I mean, maybe bring that up with Patrick. See what they think. I have been talking to Patrick about you.

Oh, no. What did you say? Oh, it's confidential. I can't tell you. Oh, you can't say that. No, you can tell me. He can't tell me. If I bump into Patrick.

It's so fun to just say, oh, yeah, I mentioned you to my therapist. And then just never elaborate. It's like the only thrill you get out of it. It's so good. There's a compliment. I'm assuming you're telling them that I got nominated for an ACRA this week. No. Woohoo!

Well done. Thank you, Jenna. Yay! It's very sweet. Yes, anyway, congratulations on your ACRA and whatever. Thank you. That's so sweet. Best music presenter.

Best music presenter. For Metro. Radio Awards. They're like the Logies, but for the Radio Awards. When music presenter. For Metro. Radio Awards. They're like the Logies, but for the Radio Awards. When? It's in October. No, when did I ask? Oh, I love it.

Well, you're nominated too, Jenna, for Best Station Podcast. Yes. Congratulations. And Best Marketing Campaign. Wow. I'm nominated for Biggest Loss to the Industry. Yeah, that was a good one. Congratulations.

That really was. Anyway. It'll be good. It'll be a great night. Yeah, fun. To be honest. Congratulations. That really was. Anyway. It'll be good. It'll be a great night. Yeah, fun. And how sad that it's in Sydney. Don't even get to travel or go interstate. Oh, maybe I'll just gate crash. Do it. Oh, you could gate crash, yeah. Yeah. Just come. Alright. Be around the corner, yeah.

Alright, should we get out of here? Already? Yeah. Oh. Doesn't feel like we've been here long. I feel like we have. Have we been here long, Jenna? You time every episode and every minute we're on't feel like we've been here long. I feel like we have. Have we been here long, Jenna? You time every episode and every minute we're on. Yes, we've been here a long time. Yeah. But, I mean, either way, I'm fine.

Either way. Either or. I mean, I'm sort of done. Yeah. And you are? With my points. Okay. Any points, Mitchell?

Maybe Mitchell hasn't completed his points. Yeah, maybe you have another point. So, it's unfair that we let you. Oh, I've got so many points. You have no idea. Do you want to just make one? Nah. You sure? No, I'm sure I've got another point. Oh, I've got so many points. You have no idea. Do you want to just make one? Nah. You sure?

No, I'm sure I've got a point. Hang on. What's my point? What is your point? Yeah, no, the point is it's not so much the heat. It's more the humidity. Yes. That's it.

Well said. And there's the close of music. Perfect time. He just had to get his point out. No, I really, that was great. Remember Mitch said he called us in the car when we had the planning meeting. He went, I just want to make sure my... Another lie.

I want to make sure my point's brought across. You don't have to point out the lies every time there is one. I just think I have to. Why? Because I never know how to respond to the fibs. You just push on. Everyone else in the car has to laugh through it. Oh, so you want me to be one of those fake bitches in regional radio that just laughs

at what the man says. Oh, you're so funny, Jim Dogg. Jim Dogg. Badger. Well, they're nominated for an accolade. You are so funny, flank steak. Really the show. It's always an inanimate object, an animal and a white woman.

Yeah. Hang on. Oh, where'd me pen go? Badger, Blackberry and Kaz. No, the woman doesn't get a name. No, you're right. She gets a wacky nickname. Like Butterfly.

Butto. Butto. Brownie, Butto and the Clamps. It's one person. It's almost very boring when they actually just have their full names, isn't it? It is. Robin, Terry and Bob. That's all their real names.

That's so boring. What's the point? There is none there. Even Kyle and Jackie O. Jackie O is not her real name. That's a fake name. True. Jackie O.

Whereas it's on Fitzy and Whipper's birth certificates that that's their name. Fitzy and Whipper. True. Yeah. I actually think that's the point. Oh, can we? Every week let's. Nah, I'm going to challenge you on that point. Fitzy and Whipper. True. Yeah. I actually think that's the point. Oh, every week. Nah, I'm going to challenge you on that point. Trying to find a point.

I mean, you do have a point. Points are made. Now I'm really self-aware. I don't think we make many points. No, this show isn't a show for points. Nah. We more just say things, don't we? But it's important to point it out when the point arises.

That needs to be pointed. Oh, apparently Isabella was sleeping in the car. That's nice. Oh, bless. She was confused at first, but eventually settled in and went to sleep. That checks out. I think that's probably the point. I think I would say that's the point.

What are our thoughts on dot points? I'm not a dotter. I'm a dash. I do dash points. Oh, really? I like a little arrow. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What if you just use dicks as a dotter i'm a dash i do dash points oh really i like a little arrow oh yeah yeah yeah yeah what if you just use dicks at the dot point i'm seriously so confused i've been doing little

jottings this whole episode and now my pen's gone like how could it just disappear like that where's my pen i'm very stressed now croc sally and point all right let's go. Where's my fucking pen? I won't leave until I found my pen. I think you sat on it. Oh, it's in your hair like a chopstick. Is it?

I'm like, that could easily happen. Where is it? I actually think we can do this off the cloud, guys. I don't think... I'm depressed. I found another pen. I think I'll give you this. Okay, there we go.

And that's the show. Can you imagine if I just acted like it was like a sore foot? I was just like, oh, my depression. It just flares up during the day. Oh, like a headache. I couldn't take the elevator because of my depression. That's like when my grandfather died and then I told her, and this is 10 years ago, and everyone said, how did he die?

And I said, he had cankles. Because before he died, his medicine made him have cankles and we were laughing in the hospital like, look at Gonzo's cankles. We called him Gonzo. And then I was like 10. So everyone was like, how did he die? I said, it was cankles. In the end, it was just the cankles.

And I truly said that to everyone at school. And they were like, what? Really? Did you watch your trip? I even think I said it through tears. As school captain. That is so cruel. It's the kankles.

And I believed it. That's the sad thing. Oh, I thought you were just fucking with people. No, I thought it was the kankles. What was it then? I don't know. You're like, I never followed up. No. He did have kankles. So technically, I mean. I don't think the cankles. What was it then? I don't know. You're like, I never followed up. No.

He did have cankles. So technically, I mean. I don't think that can kill you. Well, call that. It's like, how did Mitch Cherry die? Oh, double chin. I'm sure you could. Yeah, but it wouldn't be the double chin specifically.

It'd be like some sort of cardiac thing. Yeah, COVID. And they go, COVID killed them. But it was underlying issues. Oh, don't be that guy. What? The underlying issues might have been there, but that makes them more vulnerable, you know? It's still a COVID death, I reckon, yeah.

Yeah, no, I agree. Add it to the numbers. Add it to the numbers. And that's the point. That is it. That was a point. It's been made a million times before. I mean, it's still a point.

It's got to be said. Why are you standing up? It has to be said. I don't know, actually. I mean, it's still a point. It's got to be said. Why are you standing up? It has to be said. I don't know, actually. I quite like it. Told you. I'm pretty tall, though. I have to pull the mic up.

Told you it's good. Should we start talking to the mic like we're at a WWE conference? Can you hear me like this? Probably. Kind of. No, it's like a front face. You broke. I just snapped it.

You just snapped your microphone. Oh, my God. You should have just left it alone. Oh, Faith. You broke. I just snapped it. You just snapped your microphone. Oh, my God. You should have just left it alone. Oh, no. What are you going to do? It's broken. I feel like, I don't want to sound like your mother, but don't play with it. You'll break it.

Now look what happened. I don't have to unplug. Yeah, so the studio is literally falling apart. It is. The whole building is. So am I. We all are. Don't piggyback off my fucking misery.

Who was it in that interview that was like, I think we're all good dancers? Oh, Victorious. That's it. Victoria Justice. I meant Ariana Grande singing on. No, I think we're all good singers. Yeah. Whatever it was.

Jenna's like, I think we're all miserable. She's not wrong. Alright, let's go everyone. I actually have to go. Do you? My staff. You shouldn't have told me that. You shouldn't have told me that. Now I'm going to make it go even longer. I have some points. I'll just wrap this up. Manual

override. I can talk over music. Yeah, I know, but the poor listeners. They love it. Do they? Yeah. Our show sounds great because I got that new RAV4. I'm listening like a bigger car. We sound good in the RAV4, just so you know.

Cool. What's your point? That's the point. Oh. Yeah. That's your point. You know, that is the point. That's my pen!

No, that's my pen. You motherfucker. I've been using it the whole show. No. I have pen. You motherfucker. I've been using it the whole show. No. I have. No. Mitchell, I've been writing notes the whole show. I knew you were going to say that.

Prove it. It's been bitten by me and it's got earwax on it because it was in my ear hole. Ew. Why did you do that? Don't do that. I like to itch the ear. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today, if that's at all possible on that note.

I've got it, Jenna. I'll be gross. And then that makes him uncomfortable. But we're supposed to do So We Do. Oh. So We Do. All right, we'll see you next week. Five stars, leave a review.

Send us an Is It Just You. Yeah, actually, you know what? Go and do it now. If you've got an Is It Just Me of your own, do it now. Right now, because at the end of the day, that's the point. That is it. Sorry, Jenna. I'll pull the music down. What was that? That's the day, that's the point. That is it. Sorry, Jenna. I'll pull the music down.

What was that? That's the point. That's the point. That is it. Yeah, hit us up at couple of pitches. What's your point? What's your point? You know what?

We could change the show from Is It Just Me to What's the Point? No, we call it The Point. Oh, my God. And then if we go, we go, the point is. Then we give the point.. We give the point. We can just rebrand. I like that. But then you have to backtrack the whole thing.

You start with the point and then explain it. Oh, yeah. Instead of coming to a conclusion. That's like starting an essay with a conclusion. Oh, yeah. So it should be what's the point? I did every essay starting with in conclusion. So you could start with what's the point. I did every essay starting with in conclusion.

So you could start with what's the point of aeroplane food and then you discuss. I don't know. Maybe just leave it as it is. We're onto something good here, everyone. Have a shower and you'll get a good idea coming to you. All right, we'll see you all next week. Love you all. See you.

Talk to you soon. Bye. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
