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.
Hello, Mitchell Coombs.
Good afternoon.
Well, this is timeless, really.
Yes, hello, hello.
Welcome back.
Where the fuck did you get a glass of wine from?
Sorry, I just helped myself.
You really did? Who is this? Is this your wine? No, it's Hayden's wine. I of wine from? Sorry, I just helped myself. You really did. We're at my house. Who is this?
Is this your wine? No, it's Hayden's wine. I don't drink.
Oh, sorry, Hayden. I've just stolen quite
a decent portion. Sorry about that. That's an expensive
drop, too, because he's on the only organic
trend. He only drinks organic wines.
What difference does that make? Well, the natural
wines have no preservatives. Right, okay.
The preservatives are what gives you the hangover.
Just for context, idiots, Mitchell
Cherry decided to be a real diva today.
He's like, no, I'm so tired.
I'm not driving to the studio.
You all come to me.
So we're in his house.
That's not what I said.
And I just walked in and I bloody helped myself.
I popped my leftovers in the oven.
I poured myself a glass of wine.
I'm right at home.
In the half an hour that you've been here, you let yourself in.
And then not only did you go straight to the kitchen, pre-heat my smeg oven, you used two
bowls to make your leftover fried rice.
Well, the bowl was too hot.
He put one bowl in the oven and then had to go, oh, I can't possibly hold it.
Yeah, well, what kind of maniac doesn't have a microwave?
How do you literally survive without a microwave?
I know, you'd think of all people to have a microwave.
It's me.
It's like Gordon Ramsay going, no, I don't have an oven, sorry.
It does make it hard, though, when have like takeaway chinese and then you have got like one serving of rice and a bit of light sweet
and sour pork left you have to put it in a hot plate yeah and watch it because it will burn it's
a fucking mess and then the bloody as i learned the hard way the plate scorching hot yes yeah
i could have been seriously injured you could have been but you're not there's no whs in this
place you're injured you fucking pay for the cream i do feel like this could be a loose episode. I'm on the wines.
I've also got a Red Bull.
What a deadly combination.
I've got my PlayStation controller.
If I get bored, I might just turn on the TV behind you and start playing.
But yeah, we're in my spare room.
So you've accommodated me and I appreciate it.
And can I say, someone who has made more of an effort,
Pricekeeper Jenna, had to come all the way from where she lives
in a Meritan service suite.
She did have to go out of her way.
Do you know who Trevor is?
No.
Her driver.
Oh, my God.
Because a RAV4 hybrid pulled up, quiet as anything,
and it had a big Meritan on the side.
And I thought, oh, Jenna's here.
Her private servant.
Her private servant was here.
Jeeves.
Jeeves.
How are you, Jenna?
This is your first time at my house, I think.
Yes.
Wait, is this really your first time at his house?
How can that be?
I've been here a million times. Well, this is technically my
I haven't even been here a year.
Oh, you've been here once for a night time.
She never rocks up to anything she's invited to.
She never rocks up, but Jenna's like a possum. If it's night time, she doesn't
see, so she just sat in the corner.
Is Jenna all right? I went, yeah, she's like a ringtail.
She'll come out and then scurry
across the fence at one point.
Well, thank God she managed to drag herself
all the way to your home, because we're doing Jenna's Junk today, which is one of our favourite segments.
All of our shit ideas coming back to bite us.
Anything that we think, no, that's too rubbish to run on the show.
It gets rough.
It's in my junk.
Yeah, drudging it up in Jenna's Junk.
And often they're not actually that bad.
Well, I saw Jeeves because he had the trash can.
Back to that, okay.
No, he had the junk can because I thought, fuck, we're doing Jenna's Junk.
Did you bring, because you put it all in this paper waste bin.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank God.
How mad would you be if I spilled this red wine on your rug?
Pretty fucking mad.
That's a merino sheepskin checkerboard rug.
Anyway, guys, if it's your first time listening, hello.
This is a couple of Mitches.
Is it just me, et cetera, et cetera.
Jenna as well.
Yep.
We start the show every week the same way.
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
There are is-igems.
Is it just me?
And we don't know what the other's going to bring,
so it could be anything.
Yeah.
We could agree, we could disagree.
I'm ready to fight.
I've had a Red Bull.
Really?
Yeah.
Mine is food related, so I'm happy to go first.
Oh, that's a real point of difference to every other week.
Mine's food related.
They have been food related recently.
You're on a real streak.
Willy Wonka.
Pepper. And they're getting worse too.
Is it just me or is it tortilla better
than bread? It is actually.
Yeah, sometimes it's a fine line between Jenna's
junk and like what you decide is good enough to run
on the show. It's the main show. Sometimes the junk is
actually better than the shit that you pull up on the
show. I agree. Alright, well then
we'll save mine till last then if it's that good
and everyone's hooked in.
All right, sure.
Do you want me to go first?
Yeah, you go.
All right, all right.
Count me in, Bradley.
Thank you, darling.
Is it just me or?
Do you find really long texts or emails,
any sort of written communication just a bit overwhelming?
Yes.
Instantly aggressive.
Oh, thank God.
I thought that I was being a diva because I've just noticed recently that anytime I get a really long text or an email and I have
to look at the attachment, like a brief attached or something, I just go, Oh God, not like I'm so
overwhelmed. That's too much. And I thought I was just being lazy because I've never been much of a
reader, hated reading books, et cetera, et cetera. However, love a good audio book. So I've started
telling people the best way to get something
through my thick head is just to voice message me.
Yeah, no, we voice message more so than we actually text.
Yeah, because, like, you can't miss anything in a voice message, really.
You make it clear.
Do you mean, like, a lot of body, like an email with three attachments,
or do you just mean the text, like the plain text in an email?
Oh, both.
Yeah.
Like, I've noticed that um when it comes
to my manager david who is we love him darling um sometimes if he's you know being the middleman
and he's passing on something that a client has said or whatever he'll just copy and paste their
email he'll go client feedback below and then i've just got this essay over text and i'm like oh god
too much too much yeah and i'm like just dumb it down david asDD. I need it to be broken down because I'm a little bit stupid.
But then I Googled it and now I'm not stupid.
It's actually common with ADHD.
Really?
Information overload.
Yeah.
Well, Kanye West came out today.
He said that he has never read a book in his life.
He doesn't need to read.
He can read.
I hope so.
Oh, yeah.
But he doesn't read.
He's never read a book in his life.
Have you ever finished a book?
Yeah. Not audio book, though. One Have you ever finished a book? Yeah.
Non-audiobook though, one that you've picked up, hardcover, front to back.
No, I definitely have.
No, but like at school and stuff.
Yeah, well, even then I probably didn't finish those.
Dragonology, I'm sure you were across from Wizardology and Dragonology.
That was my favourite.
I'm sure you wrote it with your author.
Isn't it a miracle that I topped English?
But I definitely was skim reading half those fucking books we had to read.
I love to read English.
Oh, The Crucible, all that rubbish.
Oh God, Romulus, My Father.
Yeah, bullshit.
But no, there's definitely been books that I've finished.
And I think it's because I've, it's again, an ADHD thing.
I can hyper-focus if a book really catches my interest.
I don't know why.
I just remember one time when I was like 12 or 13, I was just walking around.
I saw this book at the news agency for five bucks and it was called like The Colour of
Law.
And I know you're not meant to judge a book by its cover but it was fucking
gorgeous and so i read the whole thing just because for some reason i was just like that
book's for me yeah yeah i saw this tiktok trend it's not a trend actually reading is just a
life skill i've seen this trend it's called breathing um i saw this trend oh my god you
guys have to get amongst the blink challenge. Are you guys across the heartbeat daily challenge?
Every like 0.2 second it beats.
Yeah.
I saw this challenge and apparently you read every second word
and you read much quicker because you're not reading individual words,
but your brain is smart enough to link all the words together.
So if it's the brown dog jumped, you just read like the brown jumped
and it would put it all together.
Wouldn't it be the dog?
If you say the brown jumped, that sounds a bit problematic.
Yeah, I didn't really watch the whole TikTok.
The sound was off.
But you know what?
It warmed my heart because speaking of David, the manager,
I actually did have to have that conversation.
I was like, I know this sounds like I'm being a diva.
I swear I'm not.
But information overload, as I've learned, is a thing.
It gets overwhelming, especially on a piddly little phone screen.
I hate reading all that stuff on a tiny phone.
So you told him?
I did.
And he's adapted and started sending me voice messages.
Listen to this one he sent me the other day.
It warmed my heart.
This is your manager, David.
Get me the concept, you dog.
Oh, my.
And did I not respond so well to that i was like
are we speaking my language oh and you would respond well to that i did and i got him the
concept dog isn't that funny how different people can be because jenna i think you'd be terrified
of a voice message you love to type like i just don't have time to listen to a lot of things so
having said that there is uh a key to being concise via voice message.
I don't want people to ramble on there either.
You know, I actually got a shout out apparently on the Tony
and Ryan podcast because they were talking about how they hate people
who ramble and don't get to the point on voice messages.
And Tony said, see, the great thing about Mitch Coombs
is that he doesn't fuck around.
When he's doing a voice message, he's just like it's so concise.
Yeah, you are.
That just set my heart on fire.
That's true.
You're kind of flirting too.
That is a compliment that you can live by.
But, you know, different strokes for different folks.
Like people communicate differently.
And you know how we were roasting my manager, David,
on the show not long ago for being like too businessy?
That's what I was going to say.
How does he get his jargon in a voice message?
You can't call it business.
I've told him it's a jargon-free zone now so he doesn't need to.
But I've realised the reason that he is the way he is,
using all the corporate jargon, is because he told me that he went
for a job interview once and they got him to do like an exercise
and it was basically writing a mock email in response to a complaint
and they were judging him on how business-friendly the language was.
What an awful way to learn about somebody.
That's terrible.
Me doing that task, I'd be like, fucking get over it.
Yes.
Regards, Mitchell.
Fucking get over it by end of day.
All right.
We ready for my agent?
Yeah.
Is it just me or?
Is warm food better than hot food?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
No, I've started putting things in the microwave.
Instead of for like two minutes 30, which is where you get it hot,
I might go like a one minute 50 or something.
Yes, because you wait for it to cool down to perfect eating temperature anyway.
Yep.
Yeah, and then there's usually a bit of coldness in there.
You wouldn't understand.
You don't have a microwave.
No.
But sometimes when you microwave things, there's like cold bits still in there.
But once you mix it all in, it's just a beautiful little warmth.
I quite like the little colder bits at the bottom.
In the middle.
When you mix it in, it's just the perfect temperature.
I agree.
It's a great collab.
But sometimes eating hot food is so uncomfortable.
You know when you eat something, right, and you've got to go.
Oh, yeah.
You've got to like bounce it around on a trampoline that is your tongue.
When you're absolutely ravenous and you get some hot chips
and you just can't fucking wait.
You just pop that bitch in your mouth and you're like,
you've got a heartburn, I just know it.
You know when you're at a fish and chip joint and it's peak hour
and they are rushing chips through and they don't fully cook them
but there is hot oil still inside them.
Yeah, like they're that fresh out of the bat.
They're still sizzling.
Yeah, yes.
You put it on your tongue and it just burns in.
You can see your fucking reflection.
Yeah, you can see steam coming from your mouth a little bit.
That's how bad it is.
I live by warm food.
And that's, I think, why my favourite food is sushi
because it's best served at room temperature.
I just like the temperature is perfect.
No, there's a difference between room temperature and warm.
Warm I can deal with.
Room temperature is just like a bit like room temperature sushi
makes me uncomfortable.
I prefer that to be cold.
Oh, nothing worse than eating fish that when you put it in your mouth,
you can't feel it because it feels like your tongue.
It just feels like you're eating.
Oh, no.
That happened to me on the weekend.
Yeah.
I've personally never been that confused by the process,
but I don't like room temperature sushi at all.
That's just amazing.
That's just asking for salmonella.
Yeah, true.
Good point.
I've had salmonella.
Nasty.
Have you had salmonella?
Yes, because mum made fried rice for Christmas lunch.
You know how you usually have Christmas leftovers days afterwards.
It's so funny, yeah.
People normally get it from chicken breast
and you got it from Christmas fried rice.
No, but there were fucking, you know,
those little tiny prawns in the fried rice.
Oh, the like Chinese takeaway, like real tiny prawns.
Yeah, the mini prawns.
They're like the letter C.
They're really curled up.
They were in the fried rice.
And so I had them possibly five days after Christmas.
Turns out five-day-old mini prawns, no good.
I had actual food poisoning.
So Jane's banned prawns from the home.
We have a prawn-free Christmas every year ever since.
I actually live quite near the Sydney fish markets.
No wonder it took you an hour to get here today.
You had to go around the prawn hub of the world.
Oh, my God.
Doesn't that place stink?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I honestly almost called triple zero or fucking case file because I said
there's a corpse rotting somewhere in Pyrmont, people.
But it was fish. I haven't even thought about there's a corpse rotting somewhere in Pyrmont, people. But it was fish.
I haven't even thought about that because I'm looking for apartments in Pyrmont.
I want a nice spot to go for a run near Darling Harbour.
I did not factor in the fish stench.
This area is gorgeous.
Yeah, if you haven't been to the Sydney fish markets, but those who know, no.
There is probably a one kilometre radius of dead fish stench.
You don't even have to see it.
You just know.
You can smell because all their dumpsters are outside the sort
of restaurants and they just chuck fish guts in there all day long.
And have you seen all the arseholes that sit there
on the fucking Alfresco furniture just eating lunch at the fish markets?
And I'm like, who hurt you?
Yes.
What the fuck?
How can you stand the stench?
Who has time to have rock oysters on a wednesday midday lunch yeah i know
oh and those seagulls fuck they will haunt you until you are done oh my god imagine have you
had those seagulls oh my god awful they sit on your shoulder they're like you know it's not like
anything exotic that only you've experienced like oh have you had seagulls before yeah everyone has
they harass you if you have food there's seagulls hey is Yeah, everyone has. Yeah. They harass you. If you have food, there's seagulls.
Hey, is it just me or have you guys heard of a thing called pigeons?
No, never.
A what?
Is it just me?
That's enough of these two.
Now let's hear, and is it just you?
All right, time for the charity section of the show.
Mitch and I hate it.
We often talk about how much we hate it.
But it's good to give. Yeah, it is. All right, time for the charity section of the show. Mitch and I hate it. We often talk about how much we hate it.
But it's good to give.
Yeah, it is.
We gift our airtime to you, the idiot.
That's when we hear from you something you've noticed,
something you hate or appreciate.
Slide into those DMs, a couple of Mitch's, and we get a lot.
We get so many.
We actually were just saying before, there's no shortage of Is It Just Yous. You can come on the phone.
You can send us a voice message up to you, just get whatever's on your mind off your
clit, darling. Jenna, what's the ratio of people that actually
do claim their prize versus people that don't? Funnily enough, there's
been quite a few people who haven't claimed their prize. Wow.
I'm surprised. Yes, there's a lot who do. Because we say it every week,
oh, if you hear yourself on the show, message Jenna and she'll send you a prize.
And people just don't.
No.
Wow.
You should send those that aren't collected to St Vincent's to Paul.
Good idea.
Should we hear what Steph has to say?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or is it just you?
Let's do it.
Go for it.
Hi, Steph.
Is it just me or is learning how to drive in a Tesla kind of defeating the purpose of
learning how to drive.
I just think she wanted us to know that she drives a Tesla.
No, but hang on.
A Tesla, obviously it's an electric car.
How different is it to drive?
It is a little bit different.
I've test driven one.
They don't brake for you,
but because they regenerate the battery when the brakes are applied,
it automatically brakes essentially.
There is self-driving.
I'm confused.
I'm confused too, but also that's like saying,
is it just me or is living in a small house not even living?
Oh, are you saying that she's trying to rub in that she has a Tesla?
I'm me.
Is it just me or is it not really dinner unless you're eating beef bourguignon?
No, that's not even, that's not true.
Is it just me or is going for a swim in the creek just not even swimming?
You may as well be in Greece, the Greek islands.
I don't think so.
That's ridiculous.
Is it just me or is drinking champagne just not even hydrating?
No, I'm quite thirsty after a fucking champagne.
What's the point of drinking if it can't be Moet Vindon?
What's it called?
Moet Shandon.
Is it just me or is there no point in jewellery unless it's a 24-carat
diamond ring?
This is just me.
It was flying or flying unless it's Ed Yad Business.
I'm pretty sure it is worth flying.
God, I'd love to be able to fly business one day.
Me too.
You know what?
I was looking at it. I can't You know what? I was looking at it.
I can't afford it, but I was looking at it, just dreaming.
Like I was just wanting to do it.
I got claustrophobic on the flight back from Brisbane the other day.
Imagine me trying to fly international.
I know.
I got a bit panicky.
Thank God I have a little handheld fan.
You know what's weird?
I'm like a big guy.
I'm six foot three.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm in my house, so all my furniture is really big to make me look petite and dainty.
My front door is huge.
And I sit in this chair and the seatbelt goes on fine,
but, like, I'm wide.
Like, I actually don't think I could do a long-haul flight.
Like, my leg span is huge when my thighs are open.
But you've obviously been overseas.
Yeah, but Fiji, I was going to Fiji.
That was painful.
That was one of the worst flights of my life.
Oh, my God.
Imagine flying to, like, London or LA.
I couldn't do it.
Did I tell you the story about what happened on the flight?
Wait, also, backtrack.
Yeah.
You went to Bali, not Fiji.
Oh, I did go to Bali.
That's a good point.
Yeah, that's true.
Is it just me who's going to Bali?
Not even travelling.
Not even travelling.
What's the point?
Have a bowl of rice and sit in the sun.
Did I tell you that story about the flight to Bali,
how I sat next to this woman?
I was clearly pissing her off because I'm gigantic
and my knees were touching hers.
And I was meant to get an exit row and they bumped me and I was upset.
And she goes to me, oh, you know, you need to complain.
Where did they put you?
They put me on an aisle seat.
They bumped me for my exit row.
Oh, right.
Well, that's better than being in the middle. thought you were going to be like encroaching on two
people's personal space well what a fright is a domino effect my shoulder was pushing this bitch
onto her husband anyway so this woman goes you should complain that's awful that's awful and
then the guy with her husband went over he went you need to tell them that you have deep vein
thrombosis and and that you have thin blood and your legs will decay.
And I said, oh, no, that's fine.
I'm fine.
There's no more rows.
There's no more exit rows.
He goes, no, you need to tell them.
I go, I'm fine.
Anyway, the flight attendant comes over and goes, everyone all ready?
And she goes, this guy leans over, don't know who he is.
Excuse me, ma'am, he's got deep vein thrombosis and he can't sit here. So this guy complained on your behalf and you didn't want to?
He wanted to get rid of me.
That badly?
Yeah, and I went, no, I don't have deep vein thrombosis, man.
I don't even know this man.
And he's like, yes, you do.
Did you have to then knock on him and say, no, he's lying?
No, I went, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
So she probably thinks I've got DVT.
How mortifying.
I don't even know what that is, to be fair.
It's just me.
Do you not have a disease unless it's DV2?
Well, anyway, Steph, I guess it is just you because I've never driven a Tesla.
I don't know what it's like.
I don't know how it compares to driving a regular car.
I wouldn't mind getting an electric, but they're a bit X-y, aren't they?
I wanted to get an electric, but I can't charge it anywhere
because you need to have a driveway.
That's so true.
You would be fucked.
You couldn't charge a car here, no way.
I was absolutely blown away because we were going to take my friend's Tesla
on a Bogengate road trip and we were Googling where the nearest charges were
in case we got bloody flat in the middle of bloody nowhere.
Yeah, it'd be awful.
There's so many in the country.
Really?
Yeah.
They're way more up to date than I thought.
They're all along the Newell Highway, Forbes, Parks, Orange.
They've all got them and Dad said they're getting them in Bogengate.
I was like, what for?
I don't mind them.
I don't mind them because it is a nice way to actually make yourself stop.
You know, because sometimes my dad, when we used to drive up to Urala to see my grandma,
and it's like a seven-hour drive, Dad's like, we'll go the whole way.
We don't need to stop for Maccas.
Nah, nah, put the windows down.
We'll get you fresh air.
But if you're in an electric.
Why is that such a Dad thing?
Ian does that too.
It's like, just stop, man.
We're making good time.
Yeah.
Who cares?
According to who?
We're going on a holiday.
Anyway, thanks for the usage issue, Steph.
You can get in touch.
Also, message PrizeKeeperJenna and get your prize.
Otherwise, it will be sent to charity.
Hit us up a couple of inches on the DM slide right in.
Right.
Now, I just wanted to follow up on last week's segment
about my playlist full of positive belters.
Yeah, positive belters.
Because remember I was saying that I love a good ballad
but there's no happy ballads.
They're all about really miserable topics like divorce
and heartbreak and whatever.
So I wanted some ballads that I can belt because I just love
an emotional song that you can really passionately yell.
That doesn't make you sad after.
Yes.
I wanted some positive uplifting meaning behind it and I put the playlist
called Yeah in our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots,
and I just wanted to provide some feedback.
Yeah, I think that's appropriate to be honest.
Because I've only just had a look at the playlist today and, to be fair,
good feedback from everyone that's gotten amongst the playlist.
Yeah, everyone's loving it.
I'm not.
No, no.
And I will say someone DM'd me and they clearly know how important it is
to add a song to, yeah.
And they said, can I add this?
Do you think this is appropriate?
And it was the fucking Crazy Frogs song.
What did we do wrong?
Because I thought we set it up really well.
It was pretty clear.
I thought I was pretty clear.
And I just can't believe that people aren't taking it seriously. He's beside himself,
Jen. I am. I'm beside myself.
Let's just go through
my yeah playlist and see if people
understood the assignment.
Let's do it. Alright, let's have a quick look.
Who the fuck added
bubbly? Oh no, I hate this
song.
Are you belting?
I've been away for a while now.
No.
Can we now remove it from the playlist?
Do you have the power?
Yeah, no, I'm going to be removing it, don't you worry.
Yeah, absolutely, get rid of that.
Bubbly Colgate.
What's her name?
Colby Colgate.
Colby Calais.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So.
Dumb.
Dumb.
You can't belt that song.
No.
That bitch is barely whispering.
You can, but you're fucking dumb if you do.
Yep, true.
The next emotional ballad with an uplifting meaning.
Oh, no, this is good.
Absolutely, yes.
How is this a ballad?
I'm yelling.
She gets there.
I'm just going down.
She's been through a lot.
Timber.
Jenna loves it. I love this song. It's going down. She's been through a lot. Timber. Jenna loves it.
I love this song.
Better dance.
Okay.
But I must say it does not fit the brief.
It's not a question of whether the song's good or not.
It doesn't belong in you.
It's not an emotional ballad that isn't depressing.
No, thank you for reminding me of the criteria.
He's so right.
He's so right.
Pull it, pull it, pull it.
It's a great song, but not appropriate in this circumstance.
We have to be brutal.
You're right.
You can't scream that.
No.
Now this one I'm a little bit like,
who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
What is it?
Is this positive and or uplifting?
No.
It's bloody Tribute by Tenacious D.
No, it's inappropriate.
Is that Jack Black?
Yes.
That's nothing. This is the Black? Yes. How snatting.
This is the greatest and best song in the world.
No, it does not belong in this playlist.
Hold on.
Can you go to the belter?
Maybe we're wrong.
It is a belter, but are the lyrics uplifting?
Is it an emotional ballad?
No.
No.
No.
I don't feel any emotion.
Fucking idiots. No. Right, I'll just go to another random one. Skip. I don't feel any emotion. Fucking idiots.
No.
Right, I'll just go to another random one.
Skip.
That's terrible.
River deep, mountain high.
Yeah, this works.
It's a bit too perky.
Yeah, it's too perky.
Because it needs to be, again, emotional ballad.
I don't think people get it.
A ballad with uplifting emotional lyrics.
Okay, hold on, Mitchell.
I have just sent you a song that I am ashamed that I didn't include.
Right.
And I'd like you to play it.
I think this is my edition.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Jenna.
Spotlight.
Bongo.
I feel like it's potentially.
Wait.
Oh, yeah.
This is it.
I've got to say, it does actually fit all the criteria.
I agree.
And yet I just don't care for it.
It's been done to death, this song.
Every drag queen ever has done this.
Go.
Walk out the door.
Don't turn around now.
You're not worth it anymore.
Fine, I'll add it to the playlist. I feel like it belongs there.
I'm happy.
I can die happy now.
Oh, sorry. I'm just shuff can die happy now. Oh, sorry.
I'm just shuffling at random, but.
Oh, of course.
Oh, my God.
I just got goosebumps.
Anastasia.
I just got goosebumps.
Sorry to get all critical thinking,
but is this a positive fucking meaning behind this song?
Left Outside Alone.
Give me some lyrics.
She's setting boundaries. It's not okay. I don't feel safe.
She's setting boundaries.
It's not okay.
I don't feel safe.
Yeah, I'm going to spring off in my day with that.
Can we go to the chorus?
Okay, hold on.
I don't feel safe. I tell you all my life I've been waiting for you to bring a fairy tale my way.
Yeah.
She's literally just like in a shit relationship.
Yeah.
Actually thinking about it, the lyrics don't really fit the guidelines.
No.
Oh, fuck.
But I love this song.
I know.
It's a great song.
It's got to go.
I'm so sorry.
It just doesn't meet the marking criteria.
It's a D if I had to mark it.
Yeah, get rid of it.
It's a brilliant song.
Oh, what the fuck?
Why is this?
Oh, this is sensational.
Who put this in there?
This is the fucking nut bush.
Oh, my God.
Nut bush.
You call this an emotional ballad.
Hold on, hold on.
Everyone.
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Front, back, front, back.
Jill House, Jill House.
No, it's gone.
Moon House, Moon House.
Sorry, it's gone.
I think I added that, to be honest.
Why on earth did you do that?
I'm uplifted.
All right, fine.
No, I agree.
It doesn't fit the criteria.
Cut it.
What have we got next?
Hang on.
Next.
Shuffle.
Oh, this is perfect. Oh this is the brief this is what
i think it is i can almost see it a plus you understood the assignment you know what skip
it this is an immediate yes we know yeah this is yeah but i'm going to the middle
remember this movie yes It ain't.
It's the climb.
It is about the climb, Miley.
It is.
Oh, God.
That fits the brief. Truly gorgeous. To achieve. 100%. That is like the climb, Miley, it is. Oh, God. That fits the brief.
Truly gorgeous.
100%.
That is like the perfect example.
That's what you should all be aspiring towards.
You know what?
Maybe we should cap it there because that is, you can't beat that.
No, 100%.
That is really good.
It's a real mixed bag.
The ketchup song.
You said the ketchup song.
Summer, say we never again.
Do you remember that?
For all we know,
the ketchup song could be uplifting.
They're just not speaking English, so we don't know
what they're saying. They also could be talking about mass
genocide. Jenna, do the dance.
No, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, it is the chorus.
No, wait till the chorus,
idiot. I don't remember.
Ready? What were the kids doing when this was
playing? Just waiting? Yes.
Kiyamaila.
Mia sensei.
Mia tandra.
Ready?
I said hey.
Ha.
Hey.
A hammer to the hammer.
Send me Noah.
Oh, yeah.
Mitchell's got it.
Oh, Mitchell's nailing it.
Eva Mendes on the show this week.
Send me Noah.
Honey on a boogie and a booty with me. That was good. Eva Mendes on the show this week. Make no mistake, it's a banger, but sorry, I don't know if it counts.
It's not a belter, is it?
It's not a belter, no.
And there's no emotion in it.
No.
I mean, for God's sake.
It's one note the whole time.
True.
Pure ecstasy.
What have we got?
What are you looking at?
Oh, really?
No, this doesn't belong there. No, it's great. I can't, but no. What have we got? What are you looking at? Oh, really?
No, this doesn't belong there.
No.
It's great.
I can't.
But no.
I'm just going to fast forward.
Does she sound like she's belting?
No. She sounds sedated.
No.
She's barely whispering.
That's not an emotional belter.
She could fucking queef into the microphone.
It would have more oomph than this.
Yeah, you're right.
What low life added this?
No, not acceptable.
Gone.
Bye.
That wasn't me.
Next.
I've paid my dues.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes.
This absolutely, you understood the assignment, whoever added this.
Yep.
I'll fast forward a bit.
Here we go.
We are the champions,
my friends.
We used to play this
when we won the Water Polo Grand Final.
So it never got played.
We won four years in a row.
Bow, bow, bow.
We are
the champions.
We are the champions We are the champions
Absolutely, yes.
This is the epitome of what we want in the playlist.
We are the champions
Of what?
Of the world
Fuck yeah, that can stay.
A plus.
Absolutely.
A plus to whoever put that in there.
Doesn't this guitar sound so good?
Oh my God.
Oh, yuck.
Someone's doing it as a joke.
This is a joke.
Actually, no.
Who put this scumbag in my playlist?
Wait, guys.
No, hold on.
We might have to leave this.
It fits all the criteria.
It's not a ballad.
It is.
I'm sorry, but by our own rules, should we not keep it? It fits all the criteria. It's not a ballad. It is.
I'm sorry, but by our own rules, should we not keep it?
But you know that Ty Verdes is no friend of mine,
so I'm not feeling uplifted.
Okay, true.
You're not uplifted, kill it.
He was quite rude to me, if you recall correctly.
He was rude to you. I'm in his latest music video, by the way.
That's a true story.
That's true.
I am.
Did you know that?
I'm in the music video for his new song.
What?
He filmed it during our interview and I'm in it multiple times.
How embarrassing for you.
Truly.
That's going viral.
So you're welcome, Tyvert.
What's the song that you're in?
The music video.
I don't know.
Jenna, what is it?
Some new song.
Some new song.
Your close personal friend, Tyvert.
A-OK.
Yeah, it's good.
It's not A-OK.
No, he had A-OK. Now he's got, yeah, it's good. Yeah.OK. Yeah, it's good. It's not A-OK. No, he had A-OK.
Now he's got, yeah, it's good.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, so-so.
His next single, I'm Getting There, is coming out soon.
And his third debut album is, yeah, I'll be right.
Been better.
Been better.
Guys, please continue to send in.
This isn't a one-week thing.
This will be added consistently.
And you know what?
If we ever pull off those live shows that we've been talking about,
that would be a good for-you playlist to play.
You know when you're getting into the theatre and music plays?
The playlist will be in our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots,
and I'll pop the link in the show notes as well because, yeah,
I think we've doubled down on what is expected of you this time.
Yeah, we've really pointed it out.
So if we get more fucking year six disco tracks, it's your fault.
Is it just me?
Listening on Spotify, don't forget to leave a five-star rating.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
Now, don't forget season four commemorative mugs now on sale
in a non on your royal blue
to celebrate the life and times of Queen Elizabeth.
Yes, of course.
They were on sale before she carked it.
Are you saying we predicted the death of Lizzie?
I'm not saying that at all.
No.
Well, I am.
Well, the season four mugs are for sale still in our Instagram buy.
If you haven't got one already, just make sure you head along to our Instagram.
The link will be there if you want to get yourself a gorgeous mug.

last long they're not gonna be available forever um all right shall we do uh one of our fave
segments it's been a while let's dive on in let's take a peek at jenna's junk shall we
now jenna's junk is where m Mitch and I toss all of our rubbish talking points
that we think, actually, let's not use that as our is it just me
for this episode because it's no good.
It probably won't go anywhere.
We won't have much to say about that.
But, yeah, they all come back to bite us here in Jenna's Junk.
She rummages through her junk, gets her hand right up in the junk, you know.
It's right up there.
Yeah.
Likes to cop a good feel.
You don't want to leave anything untouched in there, would you?
All right.
Well, Jenny, hit us up.
What are some of the reject-agems that we haven't used on the show?
What have you found?
Okay, let me head in.
Oh, we're in a very small room, so it's very visceral to see a dude in person.
I know.
Her junk smells like the fish market.
Sorry.
Can't I say?
The windows are closed, so it can't be PM on.
All right.
What do you have?
Funnily enough, it's, is it just me or do freshly washed dishes smell fishy?
I'm guessing that was one of yours.
That's me.
Do you not agree with me?
They can actually if you cleaned your bloody dishwasher, that.
Yes, yes.
Smells fishy.
It's like the clean glass or a clean plate.
You know when you have a fresh dishwashed glass and you fill it with water and then you drink out of it,
I smell fish pong.
And it's not my dishwasher, it's my mum's, it's my dad's,
it's your house, it's everyone's.
Maybe you know how people are like, oh, I only pick up on these smells.
Maybe I am attuned to it.
I've noticed it once upon a time, but I don't notice it anymore.
You know like people how you go to their house and if they have a cat,
you can smell the cat smell, but the owners can't.
I'm so hyper aware of that.
I always double check when people come over.
I'm like, is there a cat smell?
Please tell me.
What, you just go out for six hours and come back in and go, ah.
Well, I have come back after spending like two weeks away from home.
I've come back and Jordan's let the cat smell get out of hand.
I'm like, oh, fuck, I've got to clean the couch or something.
I don't know where it's coming from.
I will say the one scent that I would not expect your room to smell of is pussy.
That was so cheap, that joke.
Jenna laughed.
Because it was dumb.
Thank you, Jenna.
Okay, I'm heading back in.
Okay.
Get your fist right up in there, Jenna.
You've got to watch the nails, Jenna.
They're very long.
I'm going really deep.
That's me.
Is it just me or should carpet be mandatory in bedrooms?
Oh, again, going back to the cat smell thing,
have you ever had a cat chunder on carpet?
Not ideal.
Vomit.
Yeah.
Oh, and does it do the heaving and just keep heaving?
No, often I don't even hear it when it's happening.
I'll just be walking around going, oh, fuck, there's another little pile.
It doesn't happen super often,
but she does make a point of only doing it in the carpeted rooms.
Well, apparently they do it because it feels comfortable on the carpet
underneath their feet, so they'd rather do it there than on tiles
or something.
Imagine if humans had that instinct because we run to the toilet on tiles.
Imagine if we were like, no, it's more comfortable to spew on carpet.
No, it's inconsiderate actually.
Cats are so self-centred.
Like we, apex species, have to shove our face into a
shit box i remember one time i heard her starting to like begin the chunder hadn't quite come up yet
she was doing the yeah and i was like oh my god she's on the carpet get out and what does she do
run into the lounge room which is uh floorboarded and she runs straight to the rug and i'm like you
little slut like you're going something that i'm gonna have to clean up and so i had to hold her on the floorboard so she'd do it there because you know what happens if she doesn straight to the rug. And I'm like, you little slut. Like you're going, something that I'm going to have to clean up. And so I had to hold her on the floorboard so she'd do it there.
Wow.
Because you know what happens if she does it on the carpet?
You smack her.
No.
No.
Oh, I don't know.
I thought we were going down the just one way.
I'm trying to teach her her lesson.
So what I do to try and deter her from vomiting on the carpet is if she does,
I rub her face in it.
Mitchell.
And then I put her out on the balcony.
Oh, God.
That's like punishment.
And she hates being out on the balcony.
She'll be scratching at the door for ages.
That's awful being forced to do something like that.
I remember my mum and dad washed my mouth out with soap when I was a kid.
I was in the bath.
I think I called my dad a prick.
And we didn't have bar soap, so mum had to pump Purell into my mouth.
Ew.
Yeah. Yeah, disgusting. I never got any of those sort of punish had to pump Purell into my mouth. Ew. Yeah.
Yeah, disgusting.
I never got any of those sort of punishments.
God, there were so many.
I remember one of my cousins used to get like a tablespoon
of curry powder if she was swearing too much.
Jesus Christ.
Maybe a teaspoon.
Doesn't make much difference, does it?
She got one quarter cup of curry powder if she acted smart.
She got a keg of fucking curry powder.
I was just put outside and the doors were locked.
Like the cat you are.
Like the cat.
Yeah, but you had an atrium in the centre of your home,
so that was gorgeous under a giant oak tree.
In fact, you went, yeah, I'm going to talk up.
I get to sit in the sun.
I remember my grandmother, she still has it,
there's like a wooden spoon hanging in her kitchen.
Oh, no.
And if you misbehave, you get belted with the wooden spoon.
Shit.
And so my dad probably copped that when he was a kid.
And I used to wonder as a kid, gee,
why does she always belt my cousins for punishment
but I never copped the wooden spoon when I'm probably equally
as much of a turd as they are and I deserve it.
And then I found out many years later, dad told me, oh,
it's because I had a word with your grandmother.
And I said, anything you do to my kids with that spoon, I'll do to you.
Oh, gosh.
So she's like, well, if I beat the shit out of them,
then he's going to beat the shit out of me.
So I never got touched with the wooden spoon, did I?
That's genius.
So you just watched your cousins?
Yeah.
Oh, she'd belt the absolute fuck out of them, Jen.
It was inhumane.
Inhumane.
And then they'd get picked up and your uncle would go, yeah,
serves them right.
Yeah, they'd have splinters in their ass and dad's just like,
nah, Mitch is fine.
My alma used to say I used to kick your dad up the ass
with my pointy high heel shoes.
I'm like, shit, I better act up then.
That'd be nice.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
I'm heading back in.
Oh, God.
Get your elbow out of there.
Here we go.
Okay.
Is it just me or when you're listening to music,
do you reckon songs should have the 15-second rewind button
like when you're listening to podcasts?
Yep.
I'll put that in there.
That's my joke.
Yeah, I agree.
And a perfect example, just then when I was listening
to our Yeah playlist, I was having to like pick up the little bloody
timeline thing and scroll it across.
And scrub.
Scrub, yep.
I like being able to fast forward and rewind like a podcast.
It's 15 seconds.
Because you know how sometimes you're listening to a song
and it has that big emotional like climactic moment.
Or the drop, yeah.
The drop, yes.
And then like your mind wanders and you go, oh, I missed the good bit.
Yes.
I just want to do the 15-second tap like a podcast.
Yes, I'm with you.
Just to rewind.
Also, sometimes when I'm daydreaming and that big moment builds
and that's when I yell at the person and then I just want to do it again.
So I just want to go back to that one moment.
I'll just keep reliving that one good daydream.
The big dramatic moment.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes I forget that it's not a podcast and I'll push back.
Yes, I've started doing that.
I'm going to start it again.
It ruins the whole.
It's like when you're about to finish sex-wise or like ejaculate.
No, and something like someone knocks at the door and it kind of ruins the whole. It's like when you're about to finish sex-wise or like ejaculate. No, and something like someone knocks at the door and you have to,
it kind of ruins the mood.
No.
Oh, yeah, no, that's happened.
The only person that's ever knocked on the door is my bloody cat
and she knows where she's standing.
I'm like, I'm not opening the door for you, bitch.
I'm not stopping for you.
No, God, no.
All right.
Come back in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
Okay.
What do we got, Gina?
Hold the judgment.
Is it just me or would you not care if someone had been murdered
in your house?
What?
That's mine.
You know how you always hear people telling stories being like,
oh, my God, my husband and I found the perfect home for our family
and the real estate agent told us right before we signed the dotted line
that someone had been murdered in the home and then everyone freaks
out like that's going to affect your life at all.
I'd just be like, big deal.
Yeah, but if there was like a family killing.
Yeah.
Jenna, that seemed way too like descriptive and like something
that has happened to you.
No, for instance.
What if it was a whole Jones family killing, one girl three,
one girl five and the dad, the father 44.
No, you know that Sydney family that all got murdered, the Lynn family.
Oh, the mum went to the royal funeral.
You seem really familiar with that case, just saying.
Yeah.
On the 1230 on the 9th, I wasn't around anywhere.
I wasn't around.
Don't have an alibi, but don't need one.
No.
Yeah.
Anyway, there was somebody who bought that house and they were Buddhists
and they didn't realise that the murders had taken place.
And then they got told after the fact, so they sued the real estate agent.
Yes.
And then it became a law.
I hear shit like that and I'm like, I don't understand the problem.
Why does it matter if someone's been murdered in your house?
You know what?
Do they want to put a sold sticker up on the side out the front
with blood dripping off it like it's a Halloween-themed sticker?
I'd be scared there would be ghosts and stuff.
I saged my house.
Whenever I move into a new house, I sage it.
Why?
Well, I don't know, just to get rid of all the negative-
In case someone was murdered in there? No, just to get rid of all the negative. In case someone was murdered in there.
No, just to get rid of all the negative spirits.
If you sage a house, it kills off all the negative spirits
and gets off the bad juju.
Georgina Walker, celebrity psychic, gave me a sage stick.
See, I'm into all that spiritual shit to a point,
but what I don't know won't hurt me is my theory.
You know what?
Are you going to have to give, because you're moving out of this place
that we're currently recording in soon,
are you going to have to give the real estate a heads up of this place that we're currently recording in soon, are you going to have
to give the real estate a heads up that you and your fucking gay facto
have been doing ungodly things in the bedroom?
Hey, Stephen, I've murdered that puss.
You're going to have to disclose it to the next tenant, mate.
I've really murdered that.
Oh, my God.
Consistently in that front bedroom.
See what I mean?
Like what happens in the house when I'm not there is none
of my fucking business.
I don't care.
Good point.
With the current fucking rental crisis in Sydney,
if someone told me that someone had been brutally and savagely murdered
in this apartment prior to me moving in, I'd be like, oh, well.
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
I'm bloody moving in.
I'd go, give me half the fucking rent price.
Thank you.
Okay, I'm heading in.
Oh, God.
What?
You're so judgmental.
Oh, God.
What?
You're so judgmental.
Is it just me or is inflation hitting barbecue chooks more than it is petrol?
What?
Everyone's rabid enough.
The fuel excise.
Well, I went to Coles the other day and I don't buy them because they're fucking shit.
But I was looking at Coles Chook.
$15 for the Coles brand, $18 for the Lily Dale.
How much do they usually cost?
$8 and $10.
Really?
Yeah.
You're joking.
Is it because you go to one of those bougie, like, smaller supermarkets?
No.
Oh.
It was my local Coles and Dan Murphy's.
All right.
Well, that's it. The prices of barbecue chickies are going through the roof.
Oh, God.
Some of them might not fall under Jenna's under $20 meals.
Oh, my God.
Imagine that.
Yeah, Jenna's $20 meals will just be a chicken
and a fucking piece of white bread before we know it.
If that.
If that, yeah.
If inflation keeps going the way it has been with the chooks.
$20 meal will be a chook and a fork.
All right, dive in.
I'm in, I'm in.
It's definitely gotten easy for you to get in over easy feeling over the months yeah okay i've got one um is it just me or when you were a kid if you saw a giant pile of stacked up chairs did
you insist on sitting on top of it yep i'll put that in there it was just a weird urge you had as
a kid you know when they would stack up the chairs. I'd do it as an adult.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
They tilt to one side.
They've always got to lean on them.
Oh, that's fun.
Oh, no, that would ruin it when you had a stack of chairs
and, like, they would be leaning forward slightly.
You couldn't stack too many or they'd start to tumble.
I like the ones that were all connected to each other
and they would go up high.
I would always want to go on that one.
I get jealous of where little kids can sit sometimes.
I would love to sit on someone's shoulders for a day.
Or kids on the boot, you know, those boots of cars that have the little lip
that fold out and they sit on the edge of the lip.
If I sat on that, the insurance claim that I'd have to lodge
with an RMA would be through the roof.
Did you ever pretend you were still asleep in the back of the car
so your parents would carry you into bed?
All the time.
My parents would just leave me in there. Yeah, my parents would leave me in there. These days there's dogs and still asleep in the back of the car so your parents would carry you into bed? All the time. My parents would just leave me in there.
Yeah, my parents would leave me in there.
These days there's dogs and kids heating in the back.
God, if that was 1998 to 2003, my parents would be in prison.
I remember really trying to stretch the age limit for that.
I was like 12.
I'm like, let's see if they can get away with this.
Nah, of course not.
The end of the podcast meant she just pretends she's asleep
so we carry her into the car.
I've had one wine, guys.
I'm out.
Kids get it so easy, don't they?
They get carried everywhere.
But what is it about being kids?
Like we do weird shit like that, getting on a pile of chairs.
I remember like do you remember all the weird shit you did as kids
and it just felt normal at the time?
I used to put super glue between my fingers.
Yes.
And then like super glue them together and then when it dried,
just like rip my fingers apart.
And then I'd like chew the dry super glue off because I'd run out of fingernails to chew.
I've done the super glue part before.
Yes.
Right.
Isn't it weird?
Just super gluing your fingers together so you can eat it off.
I remember once I got a cap gun.
Remember cap guns?
No.
With little plastic guns with red caps in it.
They had like a bit of gunpowder in them and they just would sound like.
Oh, yes.
And I shot it next to my ear. and I was deaf for half a day.
You're still deaf.
I am still deaf.
I'm really bad.
You know when you go to your bedroom and you don't want your parents
to know you've done something bad so you just cry to yourself
because you think you're deaf?
I actually thought I was deaf.
If you had to explain that to them, they'd be so disappointed.
I wouldn't be able to hear their reactions.
Why the fuck would you shoot one of those little cap guns next to your ear?
I remember going, I wonder what this is.
And then.
Oh, the ringing.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
You've seen that Auschwitz film with Harry Styles.
What's that war movie?
That's not Auschwitz.
Renegade or something.
Grenade.
Dunkirk.
You know when a grenade goes off in Harry's hands?
That's what it sounded like. Right. Okay. Dunkirk. You know when a grenade goes off in Harry's hands? That's what it sounded like.
Right, okay.
Dunkirk, thank you.
I can't think of any other weird shit I did as a kid,
but I'm sure there's plenty.
Oh, I mean, must we talk about the cheese roll-up saga again?
Like that's something you'd only do as a child.
The cheese roll-up?
Yeah, the cheese.
Oh, the cheesy ball that you microwaved a bunch together
and clogged your own arteries or something.
No.
No, I'm well on the way to that.
But I clogged my small intestine for three days.
Oh, that's better than the artery, then.
Yeah.
That's true.
My artery is 100% clear.
Remember I got a heart scan?
Yeah.
Any second you chugged.
Did you know I'd tell you?
No.
I think I told Jenna I was sobbing.
I was so relieved.
Yes, you told me.
I got a full heart scan.
They had to put a dye in my groin.
And she goes, warning, this will make you feel like you've wet yourself.
I go, don't be. Oh had to put a dye in my groin and she goes, warning, this will make you feel like you've wet yourself.
I go, don't be, oh, shit, I've wet myself.
What an unpleasant feeling.
What a weird thing, like a weird symptom to tell someone they're going to get.
Just so you know, you're going to feel like you've just deposited $12.
No, I'm not.
Shit, did I just deposit $12?
Like such a niche thing.
Well, it's like when people start talking about like spiders and then you're like,
oh, my God, I can feel something crawling on me.
I swear to God. Yes. I swear to God.
Yes.
I swear to God.
Whenever I get bitten by one mozzie,
I immediately feel like I've been bitten by a hundred mozzies.
Or what about in school?
This is going back to being a kid.
When they'd like address the assembly and be like,
now there's been a few cases of head lice,
so if anyone has an itchy scalp, please come forward. And then all of a sudden everyone's like, wow, my scalp's so itchy.
The thought of it.
Now my head's itchy now.
Oh, don't, because that will drive me insane.
You're in bed, fresh sheets, you've just had a shower,
but there's one grain of sand.
Fucks my whole night.
Really?
Yeah, because I feel.
Where's the grain of sand coming from in your life?
I was waiting for you all to go, yeah, me too.
Where's the sand from?
I don't know.
The fucking, someone's cracked.
The sand pit.
We feel it in the castle. The fucking, someone's cracked. The sand pit. We've built it in a castle.
Kids, let me tell you.
Kids frolic in a sand pit, completely allowed.
Adults, no.
I love to play in a sand pit.
How exciting was it after a rain day when there'd be wet sand?
Oh, I remember that.
Our playground was made of wood, and I visibly remember when Kevin Rudd was elected, the
bastard, made some government
law. He's like, all playgrounds will be plastic.
And they built, they knocked
down, it was like some government initiative
like make playgrounds safe.
And they made the playground this plastic
brutalist post-modern
Which would burn the fuck out of you in summer.
Yes. Fiberglass slippery.
You know what it had?
These dumb on playgrounds
the binoculars that had no mirror they had nothing in them they were just two pieces of pipe they
were fucking cylinders they were fucking empty toilet rolls and we'd all go oh i see a pirate
there's no glass in there child it's literally just tunnel vision and what daft you get to see
what reggie sees what dickhead thought that they, let's design a playpen for kids.
You know what they want?
A giant abacus.
What's an abacus?
The beads.
The poles that had the beads on them.
Oh, yeah, fuck those.
They were just numbers.
It was tic-tac-toe.
It was always fucking tic-tac-toe.
But if they faded, it would just be balls on a bar for no fucking reason.
Oh, and there was always a shit slide metal that if it touched the skin,
the soft skin under your thigh, oh, boy, done for days.
Or like underneath the playground,
they'd just put that stupid little archway that says shop.
Yeah.
Yes. And there'd always be that stupid little archway that says shop. Yeah. Yes.
And there'd always be that one imaginative kid just being like,
hi, come to my shop.
And I'm like, fuck off.
That was me.
I used to do Macca's drive-thru.
Only breakfast.
But you'd have to kneel on bark chips.
That's not good for anyone involved.
Oh, you know that feeling when you stand up and the bark is embedded
in your knee and you've got to brush it out and there's an indentation?
So I don't think Kevin Rudd fucking nailed making them safe.
I agree.
They're still bark chips.
I agree.
Isn't that funny?
Jenna's junk always ends up being the best ones.
We should probably keep them for the main show.
No.
I don't know.
They weren't the best.
They were just a bit mind-numbing.
Yeah, pretty dumb.
I can see your junk's empty, Jenna.
Oh, yeah, but it gets fucked.
It gets fucked?
Wow.
She never leaves her junk empty for long.
She can't bear it.
That's right.
Well, listen, Hayden's texting me going, oh, I'm on my way home,
so we better get out of here because, you know, daddy's coming home.
Well, like you're not allowed to have friends over and you'll get caught.

Thank you for letting them in.
They were respectful.
We're now going to transport you to a school hall.
Okay.
Where Vice Principal Benson will make an announcement to the girls
of Year 9 who have consistently done something to piss her off.
Girls.
Girls.
Stop. Eyes to the front. done something to piss her off. Girls. Girls, stop.
Eyes to the front.
Now, each and every one of you, how dare you? How dare you repeat that behaviour in the playground?
Simply unacceptable.
You dropped the megaphone.
Pick it back up.
What behaviour?
The behaviour.
You all know what you were doing.
You all know.
And I'm laughing because I'm so disgusted by your dumb actions.
I've got the perfect sound for when Mitchell walks back in.
Okay.
Should it be this?
Or he walks back in and we. Should it be this? Yes.
Or he walks back in and we'll just go.
I like that.
He's interrupted us.
Yeah.
Oh, he's back.
Oh, he's back.
Hello.
Hello.
Welcome back.
I've got the fright of me life because your bathroom mirror.
Can you turn this off? Whatever it is. Yes. I don got the fright of me life because your bathroom mirror, can you turn this off?
Whatever it is.
Yes.
I don't even have headphones on.
I can just tell by the stupid grin on your face.
I got the fright of me life because when I stood up,
I was pulling my pants up.
My junk was still out.
Yeah.
And your bathroom mirror is positioned in such a way that I could see,
I had eye contact with Jenna.
What?
What?
Look out the window in that mirror.
Can you not see the bathroom?
No, he's right.
Where?
She could have copped a fucking geese at Mitchell's junk.
Jesus Christ, too junk in one day.
I know.
Oh, that's too much junk.
That's a lot of junk.
That's a lot of junk.
In two, yeah.
Yeah, how good's this home set up been?
Thanks, Rod.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you going to get the monkey pox jab?
I've been thinking about it, yes.
Apparently you have to fill in the amount of sexual partners you have
or have had in the last four months so that they can determine
and prioritise the more slutty gay who gets the jab first.
Oh, then I'm not getting it then.
I'm on my second dose.
I'm kidding.
That's good.
You're just drinking it straight from the vial at this point.
No, I don't think I've heard of it.
I've had a few friends that are bitterly disappointed.
They're like, I thought I was, you know, going quite well in the bedroom,
but no, I've been knocked back.
I'm not enough of a whore.
Oh, we're in Sydney, ladies and gentlemen.
The gay scene is stronger than the heterosexual scene, to be honest.
I mean, how strong is the heterosexual scene really?
Good point.
Good point.
They got one good root in them a month.
The gays have multiple good routes in them a day.
Yeah.
We wouldn't know, obviously.
No, we wouldn't know from what I read.
From what we've heard, yeah.
This is purely from the reviews, yeah.
I will get it, yeah, for sure.
But I'll have to wait for it to become readily available, I think.
Yeah, no, it's not on my radar yet.
I don't think it's something I'm in urgent need of.
Why was everyone so up in arms about the COVID vaccine
yet the monkeypox vaccine?
Like, nah, I don't care.
Like, the fucking misinformation.
I've never really questioned vaccines.
I'm just like, stick it in me, doc.
No worries.
Oh, I'd like to meet doc.
What's it?
Oh, my God. Sorry.
What's that Looney Tunes character, doc?
What's up, doc?
Yeah, who says that?
I don't know.
Bugs Bunny.
I just know the quote. Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny. What's up, Doc? Yeah, who says that? I don't know. Bugs Bunny. I just know the quote.
Bugs Bunny.
Bugs Bunny.
What's up, Doc?
Yeah.
I was a roadrunner guy in Wile E. Coyote.
That nasty roadrunner would always run for me.
And thanks to Road for sending us the runner.
Yeah.
We love it.
The roadrunner.
That's really funny.
They need to build a-
They do a range of treadmills.
I was going to say, they need treadmills.
Or just a pair of shoes.
Runners. These are roadrunners. Oh, going to say they need treadmills. Or just a pair of shoes. Runners.
These are road runners.
Oh, that's fucking good, Ro.
That's good.
Anyway.
Thanks, too.
Yeah, Ro, if you're listening, I want fucking 50% of that idea.
Yeah.
It's a brilliant idea.
And I just want headphones.
Thank you.
Yeah, Jenny just wants headphones.
That's all she wants.
If I went through your bedside table drawer in your bedroom,
which is right next door to us, what sort of filthy sex toys would I find?
We don't have a bedside table drawer.
Oh, well, you've got to keep them somewhere.
You'd have to go through the whole house.
Why the fuck would you put them, like, in the laundry basket
if you need them?
Like, they'd be in the bedroom, surely.
No, they're not in the bedroom.
What?
Why not?
Because the bedroom, we don't have any.
Sex.
In the bedside tables, we don't have we don't have enough room because we
want a king-size bed but are they elsewhere in the bedroom that's what i'm saying like surely
you keep your sex toys in a bedroom that is so logical they're not in the bedroom where are they
i'm not telling you i'm not gonna go looking i'm just curious they're in a clear tub we got from
bunnings i found a dildo on my bathroom drawer the other day and i'm so confused because it's not mine
well you live with jordan your partner in your roommate what the fuck would he have been doing from Bunnings. I found a dildo on my bathroom drawer the other day and I'm so confused because it's not mine.
Well, you live with Jordan, your partner, your roommate.
What the fuck would he have been doing in my en suite?
Oh, it was in your en suite.
Yeah, that's why.
It's weird.
I was like, I recognise this thing.
Did you express buy yourself one and forget about it?
No.
No, I'd remember.
Was it your kind? Was it like one that the older version of Mitchell would have purchased?
No.
I don't have like a huge collection that i'd lose track what are the odds like i'm just like this
isn't mine where did this come from yeah that another gay man or het man that i was pegging
perhaps was in that room the odds are slim i know the dildo wasn't slim i'll give you that really
yeah i remember this is a mortifying it's still there i haven't dealt with it it's just in my
bottom drawer i'm like i don't know where that came from or what to do about it.
Should we give it away on the show?
No.
I've used dildo that we don't know who used by.
Yuck.
God.
Gross.
That's horrific.
Yeah.
Isn't that really weird though?
I was like, what the fuck?
Because it's not like, there's no way it could have been in the bathroom drawer this whole
time and I've never noticed.
Like it just appeared and I was like, that's not mine.
Someone just added it. oh my god what about if it was from past tenants maybe well that's what I mean because the drawer was definitely empty when I put shit in
there maybe one of Jordan's roots was like oh can I use your bathroom and he's like yeah sure
and this guy wandered off left Jordan in the bedroom and then went into my en suite thinking
that was the only bathroom
and then just accidentally left it there.
I don't know.
But why would he have a deal?
Oh, because they were using it.
Yeah.
Maybe he was giving it a rinse in my en suite
and then just dropped it in the bottom drawer.
There's no logical explanation.
It just turned up.
Isabella, is she a wanderer?
Maybe she went to someone else's apartment, picked it up
and then brought it back.
Thinking it was like a dead bird.
Yeah.
And put it in your drawer.
She was a budgie smuggler.
Is it silicon with a sticky thing on the back?
It's silicon.
I don't think it has a sticky thing on the back.
Do people really use a sticky thing on the back?
Yeah.
Really?
Really?
Where do you put it?
What do you mean?
Where do you put the sticky thing?
On the floor or on a wall?
It's up to you, I guess.
Interesting.
What a mental image.
Sex toys are great.
Very liberating.
You know, they're good to have.
Where do you keep yours?
In a Perspex box.
Where?
I'm not telling you.
Because I'm just trying to think.
I'm not going to go find them.
I'm just thinking logistically, if they're not in the bedroom,
that would be such a mood killer if you have to go rummaging through drawers in the fucking room that happened the
other night we had to go find the louvre and we didn't have one i had to like walk through the
house half erect my screen door open like hi dude how are you oh you got your cavoodle trimmed looks
good keep them in the bedroom you idiot you don't have bedside tables that's not how it works yeah
but there's got to be somewhere in the bedroom you've seen our wardrobes they're all fucking hangers they're
all hangers there is no drawers in our bedroom none just put them in the little perspex box at
the bottom of the wardrobe because our shoes are there i'm telling you now our wardrobes do not
have any drawers or any storage it's gotta be a better way and i'll tell you why i know and i get
so bad about it because i'm lazy and you know me i wish i had drawers so i could just throw
everything in because i'm a thrower but now i've've got to hang pants, like some sort of fucking royal.
It's not in here.
No, they're not in here.
I was just looking around me going, surely.
No, they're not in here.
Oh, God, that is so painful.
They're not in here.
Having them not in reach.
No, they're not.
What about under the bed?
No.
Because we've got a full Valance kit.
What's that?
We've got the, what's it called?
Holly Valance.
You've got her under your bed.
You sick fuck.
A blow-up doll that looks like fucking Holly Valance.
It's just a little kiss to the sun.
What's her name?
Kiss Kiss.
Yeah, Kiss Kiss.
I don't have to act me a dime.
Something, something. Kiss, kiss. No I live to act me a time. Something, something.
Kiss, kiss.
No.
Kiss.
No.
We've played it on this show and you said you loved it.
I forget instantly.
Hold on, let me get it up on my phone.
It's not quite worthy of the playlist, but I'll play it anyway.
I shan't be adding it to, yeah, but yeah.
See?
Hey, yeah, yeah.
Same energy as the ketchup song. See? Hey, hey, hey. Same energy as the ketchup song.
See?
I told you.
I can't believe you couldn't decipher this song from Jenna's senseless murmuring.
You're a good friend.
Hold on, Mitchell.
I'm texting you a song.
I've just had to run more addition to yeah.
What?
I've just texted to you.
Your contributions haven't been overly helpful, I must say.
They haven't, but I think I've hit the nail on the head here.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
What is it?
No, no, no, no.
Janie.
Hamster dance.
All right, everybody.
Do you know this, Mitchell?
Of course I know.
But it's not going in the playlist.
Why do you look so displeased?
It doesn't meet any criteria.
And also it just occurred to me that there is no hamster dance to go with it.
It's not like the ketchup song or the Macarena where there is a dance.
Why call it hamster dance when it's just some fucking pipsqueak fuckwit making noise?
It's not even like there was a little hand mouse thing.
The hamsters are just dancing.
I sent you one more song.
Can you play that again?
Sorry.
I'm really intuitive. Intuitive. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I've been obsessed more song. Can you play that again? Sorry. I'm really intuitive.
Intuitive.
I don't know what I'm trying to say.
I've been obsessed with that.
Ready?
This is from Coyote Ugly, right?
Yeah.
Probably.
I don't really know what that is.
Oh, it's a good film.
The movie.
The dancing on the bar.
It's a good song.
Yeah.
I know, this is a good song.
But Coyote Ugly, is that a song?
No, it's a movie.
Right.
Okay.
That's a great play.
Want to play the new Ava song and then you'll hear it being sampled?
Okay.
I just, I don't know what it is about Ava, Max.
She just rubs me the wrong way.
It's the haircut and the lying.
She's lied to me multiple times. And she stole my, Max. She just rubs me the wrong way. It's the haircut and the lying.
She's lied to me multiple times.
And she stole my selfie stick.
She did steal Mitch's selfie stick.
She's got that long hair, one long, really long blonde on one side and the other side cuts off under her ear.
She had the hide to tell me at her very first Australian interview.
I go, what's with the hair, Ava?
She went, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I was cooking cookies.
And I put them in the oven, went upstairs, was oh my god i was cooking cookies and i put them in the oven went upstairs
was cutting my hair babe and i cut one side and then i went oh my god i'm burning my cookies so
i ran downstairs they were burnt pulled them out of the oven and i caught myself in the mirror
and i went this laps and that's the story about it and i was like that's a pretty good story anyway
she was on fucking jimmy fallon and she's like oh it was a PR thing I'm like the bitch had the gall so she told a completely different story
made up that cookie story to my face and it's a bullshit she's basically Belle Gibson at this
point what did that journalist say what should I have said to her um she says no Belle that's lies
that's a lie she goes oh what was it it was like no no don't draw on information
just be honest oh god imagine how i send that actually how old are you i believe that i'm 26
how old are you she's just at her wits end yeah
and did we all see tracyimshaw at the Queen's funeral?
Yeah, she was very upset.
Unable to even talk.
Yeah, I did see that.
Good old Tracy.
If only she'd done that before we'd run the top five moments.
Maybe that would have been a contender.
Before maybe, number four.
Yeah, I don't know.
She was in that glorious cape, she looked gorgeous.
Saddlebags.
Yeah, she had saddlebags on her.
Yeah.
Weird choice of outfit from her.
And a salt lick.
All right, we better get out of here, everybody.
It's been a random show.
Mitch is going to go get another wine.
Am I?
Yeah, you're more than welcome.
Will Hayden be mad?
No, I've got to go to bed, to be honest.
What time is it?
It's late for me.
It's fucking 4pm.
I've been up since three.
Yeah, but isn't like a seven or eight o'clock bedtime normal?
Not four.
I need time to wind down.
Don't be pathetic.
I've been time to wind down.
Grow up.
Love you all.
Thank you for listening.
I'm just getting the sense that he doesn't want us in the house, Jenna.
First it was Hayden's coming home, you can't be seen.
And now it's I've got to get to bed.
I'm like, the sun's up, bro.
What are you trying to hide?
