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. Ho, ho, hello, you. Oh, hey, you. Welcome back. Hi, you. Welcome to the Christmas season, officially in December. Oh, I love it. I'm not putting Christmas decorations up this year.

Fuck that. Did you do it last year? No. But all the more so this year, Fuck that. Did you do it last year? No. But all the more so this year because I've literally just decorated the apartment normally. I'm not going to bother adding more shit than I need to. I'm sick of packing, unpacking all that. I'm not adding more responsibility. I did say to Hayden

this year, should we get a wreath? He said, yes! Let's get a wreath! Because we have a front door because we have a house, so we could get a wreath. There's something just so white picket fence about that. You've got a wreath, of course. You can tell you've been together for four years. Should we get a wreath, babe? I know.

Who gets the wreath in the divorce? You. It was your idea. I fucking paid for it. Did you? Yes. It's your wreath. Hayden's got his head at the moment that because I make more money than him, I should now be

paying for more things. Bullshit. That's what I said to him. And it's not like drastically more. It's not substantially. It is more. Did he actually say that to you? Yeah, he goes, I go, oh, you got to transfer me for HelloFresh for the last month.

And he went, why don't you just pay for that? Because you make more money than I do. Oh. And I was like, excuse fucking you. Red flag, Haydo. Red fucking flag. I'll get the wreath. And I'm not paying for more shit.

What the fuck is a wreath? Because you only use them on two occasions, Christmas and. Red fucking flag. I'll get the wreath. And I'm not paying for more shit. What the fuck is a wreath? Because you only use them on two occasions, Christmas and Anzac Day. Oh, yeah, good point. They're either like, how merry and joyous, or they're like, my condolences. Lest we forget. Yes. Lest we celebrate or lest we forget. I'm going to Google the history of a wreath.

Okay. Our third wheel prize keeper, Jenna, isn't here. Again, surprise, surprise. Can you believe this? We all know that she's got the new podcast, but it's clear where her loyalty lies because she said, I can't record it, Jim, because I'm recording the other show at that time.

Three girls, three rats. That's the name of the show. And she hasn't turned up. And when we messaged her today to say, hey, because we normally record. It's not that she hasn't turned up. She's literally in the building in a different studio doing a different podcast.

Wait, can we? Because all the studios here at Kiss are connected. Could we bring up a fader that will connect us to her studio? No, I think she's in the ground floor. Oh, she's in the podcast studio. Yeah. We can go fucking interrupt her, though. Do those portable mics up there behind you work?

Yeah, they do. Yeah. All right, get those. All right, I'll get them. And what, we're going to go ambush Jenna? Yeah. No, we'll drag her kicking into streaming and say, fuck off, Sammy O. She's ours. Hey, you stop recording Two Cats and Postman, Pat.

We're getting out and JJ back. All right, let's go. I'm getting out. Okay, hold on. They never work, those ones. I'm just not sure. Should we just use our phones? They work well.

Yeah. Okay, hold on. Just use our iPhones. Bear with us here. We're going rogue. This is my impression. We're recording. I said I was busy.

Is this thing working? Hello. Hello. All right, great. Let's go. Let's leave this studio. Let's go find this bitch. All right.

Oh, your ass looks good in those shorts. Thank you. So this is an IJM investigation. Fuck, we should have sent this to 60 Minutes. Oh, who's looking for a new host? Well, 60 Minutes is going to need a new host. Oh, my God. Oh, what?

Oh, shit, she's here. Yeah, I just got here. Oh, so she was lying. She wasn't even doing the podcast. She was fibbing. Sam, we took the podcast. I'm going to a co-host, Sam. Hold on, Sam.

Excuse me, please. What happened? Where were you? We were in the podcast studio recording the cat podcast. And then it was cancelled mid-recording? No. No, it wasn't cancelled. Why? Then why aren't you recording?

Because we finished it. Oh! Wait, you're telling me not every podcast goes for four hours? Like ours? No, this was a bonus episode. You can listen to it on the usual platforms. It was actually a bonus episode because a cat got into some baggage on a flight

and flew from JFK airport. Jenna has the details. Oh my god, really? Oh, she's got it printed? Mitch, look over here on Jenna's desk. She's still got four litres of lime milkshake flavouring from that time we made them in our podcast. And there's dust on the lid. Hold on, is that Jenna's

boss at WSFM, the hit Mike Byrne? Hi Mike Byrne. Oh, hello Mitch. We're just recording here. Can I get your take on Jenna's hit podcast, TwoFM, the hit Mike Byrne. Hi, Mike Byrne. Oh, hello, Mick. We're just recording here. Can I get your take on Jenna's hit podcast, Two Pussies and a Woman? It's a bit long. And the name... Needs work. Well, it needs a little bit of work.

Do you think it will be syndicated across the WSFM and Pure Gold Network? Don't make him laugh. Yeah, don't make me laugh. Okay, enough said. Thank you so much, Mike Byrne. My pleasure. Strong hair game again, Mick said thank you so much mike burn um strong hair game again thank you so much talking to me obviously what's going on nothing we just had nothing to do we were gonna go interrupt your recording but anyway um can i come in now oh you

want to come in now do you yes because i'm finished all right yeah come on come on yeah come on hurry up come on jenna okay anyway if it's the first time listening welcome to is it just me every week we uh ambush a different co-worker at their desk and talk to their bosses. All right, we're heading back in now. Stand by. We're going to go. God, the aircon in this room is freezing. Who put a Schweppes on my desk?

That was me. I got that when I walked in. Oh, thank you for that. I haven't delivered it. It's my new tradition. I come in and I, are you going to turn Jenna's mic on? Sit down. Oh, here she is.

Pepping her step. Better late than never. God, that was so awkward. That was like, you know, when you go to a wedding of your child and you meet the ex-wife. Like, that was me meeting Sam. We're co-hosts. Yeah. You put us in a very...

Jenna, making us walk over unannounced, you put us in a very awkward situation. We were going to go all the way downstairs to your podcast studio, but then we got to your desk and we're like, has she lied to us? No. She's still here. And I proved to you that I did not lie. She also told us that she disposed of the four kilos of lime cordial flavoring and they're still there.

I might keep those actually. Please take them. They've been there for way too long, but Jonesy really wants them. So you might have to fight him over it. They've been there for months. Yes, I know. Why hasn't he just taken them when he had the chance? He said that he needs to bring his big motorbike to bring it home.

Oh, Jenna, he probably thinks it's cool and he's going to pour it in the engine and it's going to blow up on Cowpasture Road. We're going to kill Jonesy. What does he even mean, oh, my big motorbike? That was a flex, wasn't it? Yeah, exactly. He's trying to turn you on. No.

Don't start up those rooms again. No. And, you know, I saw him in the parking lot this week when I got in early and his helmet was stuck on his forehead and he looked like Ant-Man. And I said, you look like Ant-Man, Jonesy. And he's like, I don't know how. And I just laughed and went to the lift. I think his helmet was stuck. So where were we? If it's your first time listening. Yeah, if it is your first time listening. Welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show the same way. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.

This week, it's something I hate. I'm cancelling. Somebody? Mine's something I noticed, I've got to say. Actually, it's something I hate as well. It ticks two boxes down. Really? Yep.

Two girls, two boxes. All right, let's begin. Should you start, Mitch? Two boxes, three cats, I should have said. Yeah, that's actually more. It confuses me every time, Jenna. I'm sorry. Why?

It's two girls, three cats. Just a lot of numbers, you know. It's literally just two. And then what comes after two? Three? Yeah, it is in numerical order. So it's two girls, three cats. Yes.

Not rats. See, now once you explain it like that, it's easy. Yeah. It took me a while to get my head around it, though, and I had to work through that by myself. Yeah. All right, let's start. You ready, Mitchell? Oh, yeah.

Do you want me to go first? Yes. I can do. I can do. I'm ready. What I actually will say, later in the show, there's a revelation. I have a revelation that I believe will change. It's changed my life, and it's changed your life.

It will change your life. Big call. Will it change my life? It'll change the way you two view me, and it'll question one of Mitchell's most stoic belief systems. You've got proof that Jesus isn't real. Stoic.

Great word. Add it to the list! Yeah, I'm adding it. Anyway, that's coming up. Big revelation. It's on the way. Let's do the first digit. Is it just me, or... Do you now feel horrible for all the times as a child that you didn't help bring the groceries in? Oh, no, because I was a suck-up kid.

I did it every time. Did you? Oh, God, yeah. I was a lazy fat kid. Okay. And Mum would be like, can you help me bring the groceries in? And I'd be like, I'm coming.

Fuck, haven't we swapped roles? I know, and now that I'm an adult, that shit's hard. Yeah. That shit's hard. Yeah. That shit's hard. Do you know how long I put off doing grocery shops because I know how fucking difficult it's going to be to heave them upstairs? Oh, really? That's the worst part of living in an apartment.

You can't just, you know, park your car out the front door. You have to then go up an elevator. And if I have to do more than one trip to the car, it just ruins my day. Rex, I've never actually had that experience and I've never even thought about it. Oh, my God, it's horrible. What do you do? What do you do?

You get them out of the boot. And then I can carry as many as I can and then I struggle and then my poor little pin arms are, like, struggling. But then if I have to do more than one trip, those groceries, I'll make sure it's not cold stuff because it could be hours before I muster up the inner strength to go back down to the car. I'd moved all my clothes over in the car when I moved the apartment. Some of those outfits were there for fucking days.

Oh, God, yeah. Because once I'm upstairs, like, I've clocked off. I'm ready to relax. I can't go back down there. I can't. Truly, I've got a Christmas tree that's been sitting in my boot for four days and it takes up every single six rows of seats. Is it new?

No, it's just it's at Hayden's parents and we picked it up and it's stuck in my car. Did you pay for it? Yeah, I did actually. I did, but I get what you mean. But true, so you have to get them out, especially in your old place. You have to get them out. No, it's worse in the new place.

Fuck, that's so annoying. So what do you do? Do you do one bag per finger or do you just hook your hand like you're fisting someone and put them all on it? No, I just feed them right up the arms. Oh! Like they're right up in the bicep area and then I kind of curl my arms in to just trap them there.

And then I'm like, oh, how do I get my keys out of my pocket now? That's an interesting tactic. I've never done that. Yeah, but then I've got these grooves all around my arms where they're digging in. Oh, God. And it's such a pain. And I'm like, I'm one person. Imagine feeding a whole fucking family and you've got to cart the groceries

from the bottom of the apartment car park all the way up and then back down and then all it takes is one bitch to get in at ground level and, you know. Fuck your day. What about if you can't drive and you have to walk across the road, across a highway with bags all over your arms? Oh, Jenna. When you get home, your fingers are shaking. You know what we should do to make our lives easier, Jenna?

What? I'm this fucking close to becoming one of those old ladies that walks around with the shopping trolley on wheels. Oh, I bought one of them. What? Are they good? They're great. Okay, I think that's going to be me now.

Is that the one that I'm picturing that's got the two wheels and then the little handle on the top? Yeah, that's it. Oh, wow. And mine is blue and white. It's very nice. That checks out. Yeah. What are they called? I don't know. And mine is blue and white. It's very nice. That checks out. Yeah.

What are they called? I don't know. I bought them from Hot Dollar. You know what? That could be our next range of merch. By the way, in History of Wreath, they came around in the Greek and Roman times. Sorry, I've had that up for about- But what do they symbolise?

Like, is it grief or is it joy? Because they are used in two vastly different occasions. Yes, they would hang them on the door if they had a victory in battle. Oh, that's a bit weird to put that on an end-of-day. Oh, sorry you died, but still, victory in battle. Yeah. Oh, a circle is this representation of eternal life. Oh, that's nice.

In Christian. What's this got to do with anything? Jenna, we all have severe ADHD. No, we were talking about this before you arrived. Oh, good point, good point. Now, what am I Googling? I don't know. We can just move on. It's fine. I've ranted. I'm very confused. Being an adult sucks. That's all I'm saying. All right. Now, what am I Googling? I don't know. We can just move on.

It's fine. I've ranted. Being an adult sucks. That's all I'm saying. All right. You know what? I agree with you. And there's nothing we can do about it.

But even if I tried to make my life easier and got my groceries delivered, same issue. They're downstairs. I'm going to have to go pick them up anyway. True. Yeah, we get HelloFresh and they put the box in the sun every fucking day. My dinnerly box was down in the foyer and I got the text and like two hours later I just heard this on my door and I was like,

did one of my neighbours bring the box up for me and passive aggressively heave it at the door? Like, here's your fucking box. Get it yourself next time. But you didn't ask them to do that. No, I didn't. But if they're willing to do it, I don't care if it's a passive aggressive throw. It saves me going down there. Yeah, that's nice. But if they're willing to do it, I don't care if it's a passive-aggressive throw.

It saves me going down there. Yeah, that's nice. Thank you. It's not like the food's made of glass. I don't give a shit. Yeah, man. Are you doing it at your – is that the new place or the old place? New place.

Oh, God, it's a neighbour from hell. They're actually lovely. And they brought it right up to the penthouse. Within my first day of being in the new place, I met two neighbours. My old place didn't meet one apart from the slut downstairs that kept making noise complaints. Oh, yeah, she hated you. Oh, my God, did I tell you?

She's passed away. Oh, no. Sorry. What? You know how I was always at war with my downstairs neighbour? Yeah, she hated you. In the old apartment. Yeah, we'd go over and we'd see her looking up mad at us

that we were making noise. Yeah, she'd always make noise complaints and embellish. She'd say, like, oh, through the whole month of September, they made constant noise. And I was like, we moved in in October. So what else have you lied about, bitch? Yes, that's good. Turns out she's the head of Strata.

Oh, no. That's why she's on a power trip. So you know what we did on our last day? What? It wasn't my idea. I need you to know that. Okay, what did you do? Jordan went to Isabella's kitty litter.

Oh, no. Oh, my God. What? What did you do? Grabbed a bit of cat feces. Which gloves on. It stinks. It stinks.

Wouldn't stop him. And just threw them onto her balcony. I think that's wonderful. You know what? That's actually fine. That's good. I thought you were going to say something worse. Really?

Cat shit? You made a homemade bomb or something. You know what? That's actually fine. I thought you were going to say something worse. Really? Cat shit? You made a homemade bomb or something. I know. I've done some pretty shitty things to neighbours, though. That's fucked. I moved out of an old share house once, and I hated the people that lived there, so I just planted pumpkins in the backyard before I left. They take years to grow.

That's a long game. I know, but how inconvenient when the day comes that they're like, where did all these pumpkins come from? What are we going to do with these pumpkins? That's really smart because they can't trace it to you because they go, well, that cunt neighbour moved out four years ago. Surely it couldn't be him. It's probably been four years now.

I'm going to do a drive-by and see if they've got a pumpkin vine in the backyard. Oh, all right. That's funny. Well, I wish we had an issue because Hayden and I got home from grocery shopping on Sunday. Did you pay for it? No, we halved it.

Oh, okay. And the street, we're doing a street Christmas party. We weren't invited. You probably were and you ghosted the text or you ghosted the email or something. No, there's no group chain. Have you logged into the street portal or whatever? There's no street portal. Is there a Facebook group?

No. I'm in Glebe Local Members, yes. Maybe you're just horrible. I just outed my suburb. Can you bleep that? Sorry, please. I think you've mentioned that you're a Glebe gamer. No, I haven't mentioned that.

Do you live in Glebe? No. That can't be said because I've already leaked my note. I don't want to be traced. Please. Please. You could trace you from space, Dom. They'll spot you.

Good point. Who's that blob? All right. Shall I do my agent? If you want, yeah. Let's go. Okay. They'll spot you. Good point. Who's that blob? All right. Shall we do my agent? If you want, yeah. Let's go. Is it just me or?

Should we fade out rectangle-shaped tissue boxes? Sorry, go again. A lot of words. What? Go again. Should we cancel rectangle-shaped tissue boxes? What? Like a normal tissue box?

Yeah, a normal. Yeah, we don't need the normal tissue boxes. Like the one there. Yeah, hold it up, Mitchell, in front of you. What? Like a normal tissue box? Yeah, we don't need the normal tissue boxes. Like the one there. Yeah, hold it up, Mitchell, in front of you. What's wrong with this? The problem is they've invented a better box. The square tissue box is far superior. Oh, yeah, actually, you're right.

But aren't there less tissues? No, the same amount of tissues. Oh. Are they the same size tissues when you pull it out? Same size tissues. That's way more space efficient. Yeah, I didn't even think of that. Way more space efficient.

You can put it in like the glove box of your car. You can just put it on your desk and it's nice and neat. The oblong ones are stupid and too big. Oblong, great word. Thank you, oblong. Oblong. It just makes me furious because we've invented something better but yet we haven't phased out the old thing, you know. Like CD players, fuck, they're done.

MP3 players, no more. I finally got rid of my CD player because I thought, it's been years. I don't need this. Yeah, I did the same. We got rid of ours. Except my mum has still got our stacker full of CDs. Aren't they so tacky? Yeah.

Not space efficient these days. Horrific. No, but back in the day, they were so cool. Yeah. Well, if you got one of those ones that are a cabinet and you just kind of pull the drawer out. Yes. That was fun. We had a soft close and a soft open just kind of pull the drawer out. Yes. That was hard. We had a soft close and a soft open, so you'd push a button

and it would go and open. Oh, it was heaven. And our Auntie Anne worked for Virgin, maybe Qantas, and she'd go, all right, Mitchell and Rebecca and Rachel, I'm going to Bali, so you tell me what films you want. What pirated films. What pirated films, and I will get the good ones for you. No, no Balinese men will be getting up mid-mo and i will get the good ones for you no no balinese

men will be getting up mid-movie and block out the pivotal scene in finding nemo when they find nemo isn't that fucked when people would literally just film the cinema yes and then you hear every time and it ruined the movie oh and you know it's actually very sad because the dying business i've just been in bali and um Hayden and I were walking around the markets. Film piracy is a dying business. Yes, and I said to them, oh, do you guys do anymore? They go, no, no one buys CDs. In fact, no one buys anything from us.

It was actually quite sad. Well, Mitchell, you wouldn't steal a car. Yes. You wouldn't steal a handbag. No. That ad for film piracy fucking bangs. Can you find it? No, what was it?

Boom, boom, ba-da-ba. Boom, boom, ba-da-ba. Boom, boom, ba-da-ba. Boom, boom, boom. Yeah, yeah, let me get it. Can you find it? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. And then do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He'll find it. We got it, Jen, I think. Sorry, for the international listeners. This would play before any DVD purchase film or movie, and it was anti-piracy, right? Which is really fucking stupid, because they would put this ad at the side of every DVD, which we'd purchased.

It was guilt-tripping us for film piracy, which we haven't committed because we're watching a fucking, the legit DVD. Yeah. We're children. And there's like police sirens and everything. Also, you watch Disney Plus now and I could film that with my iPhone. Arguably, piracy is easier than ever.

And there's no criminal warnings before any new film. High School Musical, The Musical, The Series. Anyway, this is it. This is the ad. So this little teenage bitch is just downloading a movie illegally. You wouldn't steal a car, they're saying. You wouldn't steal a handbag, would you? There's a woman eating lunch and then someone steals her handbag.

You wouldn't steal a television. Oh, my God, look how fat that TV is. Big flop. You wouldn't steal a movie. No. And then it points out that, in fact, downloading pirated films is stealing. Oh, plot twist. She's committing a crime.

Do they arrest her at the end? I forget. No, she gets sniped from across the street. She just cancelled it. Her ethics kicked in and she went to school. She picked up. She went, no, no, you know what? This is wrong.

I'm going to go to HSIE. She goes, actually, I'm better than this. Anyway, T-Shoes. Yeah, Kleenex, if you're listening, and I know you are, you cowards. Mitch loves a square box, plain and simple. Is it just me? Got something on your mind? Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show.

All right, you actually now can get in touch with Prizekeeper Jenna because she's back. Yeah, I'm back. Were you backlogged with people to send prizes to, listeners, idiots? I was still sending them out. Well, I've seen a couple of people. Yeah, I still can't get into the account. What?

Can you please send it directly to my Instagram? No, no, no, no, no, no. We'll sort out the account today. Fucking hell. Can I just say, you only bring that up when we're on the cloud. You need to tell us outside of the show. And I asked her, have you got access back? And she said yes.

No, I said that was through Creator Studio. Oh, it's all too much. But I have been sending them out, so yes. Okay, good. We'll get on the show. You win a prize. Contact Prizekeeper Jenna and you'll get it. At couple of Mitches.

Don't go to her, just go to us. Or Jenna underscore Benson. Either way. No, we need to streamline it. I'll fix it after we're done. Okay. Let's go to Melania in Perth. She's got an Is It Just You?

So we do our Idjams match and we let an idiot, a listener of the show, bring on their own, something they've noticed, something they hate or appreciate. Hello, Melania. Welcome to the show. Hello. Hi, guys. Very good to speak to you all.

Oh, you two at long last. She's a long-time listener, Melania. Oh, Jen. She's been with me since the Not My Cup of Tea days. Oh, I've lost so much respect for you, Melania. I had you in such high regard. How long have you been listening, would you say? Since the very start?

Since the very start, yeah. I've been stalking Coons for a long time since his baby YouTube days, I think. Oh, the baby YouTube days, Jesus. Sorry to hear that. That's back when he was fucking Tyler Oakley. Was he? Oh, my God.

That happened. VidCon. Never went to VidCon. Did you wear a VidCondom? Sorry, Melania. Okay, so that one was funny, but flat out lies aren't funny. Yeah, everything else is a lie. All right, Melania, Brackley will count you in,

then hit us with your Is It Just You. Thank you. Is it just me? Did you not realise that you could actually call public payphones like in an old 90s spy movie? Oh, like the little phone boxes on the side of the street? I don't even think you can put coins in anymore. The Telstra ones.

But how do you deal with it? Well, so this is also a PSA, I think, because I'm all about helping people. Yeah. I asked my daughter to go into it. I saw one on the side of the road. I said, look, let's just go in there and see if you can use it. How old is she? She's nine, so she's not old enough to have her own phone.

Okay, so you're trying to teach her if you're in trouble, run to the phone box, give me a ring. That's nice, yeah. Yeah, God forbid. I just wanted to make sure she knew how to use it. And she's like, okay, no worries. She went in there and dialed my number and my phone started ringing. I said, great, you know how to do it, that's great. But I looked at the number that came off my phone.

I thought, well, that's not how I remember pay phones. It was an actual number. It had its own number. Was it a mobile or was it like a landline? No, it was a proper, just a landline. Really? And code and everything. So I called it back and the pay phone started ringing.

What? Oh, my God. For what reason would someone ever call a pay phone? Just in the hopes that the person they're trying to get a hold of happens to be wandering by? I guess because if you call someone and they don't answer, you can call it back and hopefully they're still standing there and they'll pick it up.

It's like in a lot of horror movies, not horror movies, but crime movies where they go... Like when you're committing a crime. When you're committing a crime because they can trace calls. They go, go to the phone box next to the Wendy's and then I'm going to call it at 2pm. And then you've got people waiting and then it rings and you can committing a crime. When you're committing a crime because they can trace calls. They go, go to the phone box next to the Wendy's and then I'm going to call it at 2pm. And then you've got people waiting and then it rings and you can't trace it.

Well, you can. You can trace them. I mean, this is the only one that I've tried. I haven't tried. Do you have the number, Melania? Can we try and call it now? Do you have it with you? I mean, I guess I still have it.

Yeah, I'd have to go through my dial code. Oh, God, please do. That's kind of funny. I want to see if someone answers it. You look through it. I'm going through my style call. Oh, God, please do. That's kind of funny. I want to see if someone answers it. You look for it. I'm going to Google as well. Oh, God, we might freak people out, though. You know me well enough, Melania.

I enjoy freaking people out. That's why we're doing it. I've got one here. So let's give this phone number a call. Stay there, Melania. Oh, okay. This one's in Sydney, is it? This is in Lumia in Sydney.

Calling a phone booth in Lumia. I thought I answered. Melania, stop making noise answering sounds. I'm scared. Turn Melania down. I keep thinking that every time it's someone answering. If you were walking past the phone box, would you answer it? Yes.

I definitely would. Could be a million bucks. And I'd gaslight them and be like, thank God you finally called back. I've been waiting all day. I'm worried sick. Is it you? I've been waiting, sitting by the phone day in, day out. Okay, they're not going to answer.

Can we just keep it on in the background? But there you go. We've learned something new today, haven't we? I hope that helps somebody. I don't know if it will. I wonder why people would ever use that. Would they say to their daughter, like, now meet me at 3pm on the dot by the payphone

and I'll give you a call and tell you if you're going to your father's or if you're staying with me? Maybe. I don't know. I never even thought about that. That's incredible. All right, thanks, Melania. DM Pricekeeper Jenna.

Yeah, that's a good one. Oh, cool. Thank you, Jenna. Pleasure to chat. Thank you for listening, Melania. We Pricekeeper Jenna. Yeah, that's a good one. Oh, cool. Thank you, Jenna. Pleasure to chat, darling. Thank you for listening, Melania. We adore you. What a superstar. OG fan since day one.

Yeah. You're all welcome. I brought her with me. Yes, true. True. Good point. Jenna, you brought a lot over from your sex working days. Yes.

Oh, we should have asked her if she's listening to two dickheads, three cats. Oh, I've already hung up on her. That's a shame. Because she listened to Trash Ali. Maybe I've converted her. She sounded've already hung up on her. That's a shame. Because she listened to Trash Alley. Maybe I've converted her. She sounded like a dog lover, though. I have a name. Funny.

That's a good one. Okay, let's do Mitch's quickie. Should we jump in? Yep, I'm ready for a quickie if you are, Dom. Yeah, always. Well, there's been a lot of shit going down in the TV industry, hasn't there? Hasn't there ever. My God, jumping and changing and swapping.

All these icons retiring. Well, not retiring, but resigning from the job that has made them the star they are. Yes, Tracy Grimshaw at Current Affair. She was very stern in the fact that she was taking a break. No, remember how we spoke about it ages ago and she said, I'm just a bit tired. So, yeah, it's just a break. Yeah. A gap year, it's just a break. Yeah. A gap year, if you like.

Yeah, she'll go play with the horses down on the farm and come back on Gogglebox or something. I reckon she'll end up on 60 Minutes, actually. It's the same network, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, she'd be good. And it's probably a little bit less full on than five nights a week. Like, you just spend months working on one report.

Oh, she's probably already got it lined up. Like, she would have already signed on to the dotted line. Good for her. And so, yeah, there was a lot of speculation who's going to replace her. Remember how we said that we'd like to see someone like Samantha Armitage take over? Yes. Well, no, we didn't win that bet. It was not Samantha Armitage, but someone else from Breakfast TV, Ali Langdon.

Oh, yay. Which really surprised me because I thought she's new on the Today Show. They're trying to make her and Carla thing. Why would they break that up so early in the piece? But no, she's the one leaving. It's kind of nice though because she's married to Mike Willis Jr. Is she? And Mike Willis Sr., as in her husband's father,

was the OG on A Current Affair. So it's kind of nice. Wait, who's Mike Willis? The OG on A Current Affair basically is what he's known for. But Mike Willis Jr., is that his actual name? Yeah. Yeah, she's married to Mike Willisey. Is he a presenter as well?

I don't think so. No. Interesting. But, yeah, she got a bit of motion on the Today Show talking about the connection and what it means to the family now that she's taking over A Current Affair. Take a listen. Your beautiful husband, his dad was the best in the business,

and for you to be taking his chair is a really big thing it's a pretty special thing to the family if i'm honest it's a special thing for mike um which is sort of i guess surprised me how much emotion he's had around it um it's um it's so special i mean it's such an important legacy for your family um how nice would it be had he been here Yeah but he'll be so happy with this though won't he I mean it's amazing Aww cute Good for her But yeah like I said I didn't expect her to leave Today Show so soon

I don't know why they thought that was a good idea But that leaves another seat vacant doesn't it Yeah but I also feel like hold on That show wasn't raining well was it I don't think I think they were just starting to find their feet really Oh really okay fair enough Yeah that's what I saw a lot of comments on Facebook saying It wasn't raining well, was it? I don't think. I think they were just starting to find their feet, really. Oh, really? Okay, fair enough.

Yeah, that's what I saw a lot of comments on Facebook saying, oh, I just grew to love Carl and Ali. Well, they filled the seat quickly, though, didn't they? They did. And she is being replaced by Sarah Arbo, who, oddly enough, she just seems to replace Alison Langdon wherever she goes, because Sarah replaced Ali on 60 Minutes when she went to the Today Show. So she just keeps replacing Alison wherever she goes. Interesting. She on 60 Minutes when she went to the Today Show. So she just keeps replacing Alison wherever she goes.

Interesting. She's like the go-to fill-in girl. I guess so. I do like Sarah Arbo. I'm not really. I haven't seen that much of her. I know her face from TV, but I've never sat down. I don't know her style.

I don't know what vibe she is. She's in a lot for Alison. Yeah. I will say she's kind of, you'll know exactly what I mean when I say she's a bit Sarah Harris energy. Okay, I like that. She's got that deep authoritative voice that you just trust and the warmth. Oh, yeah.

She's a bit fun as well. She's young and she's like a pocket rocket. That was my Sarah Harris impression. That actually was quite good. But I've got to say, elephant in the room, Sarah Arbo, the spelling of her last name, A-B-O. Yeah. Fuck, I hope no one ever mispronounces that. I know that would be quite horrific.

Oh, God, imagine in school if there was a substitute teacher reading the role, being like, Sarah, Sarah? Yeah. Although I don't actually think that's her real name. I think it would have to be something longer and she's just given it a stage name. Oh, well, that's worse because I thought, poor thing, that's the name she was born with. People probably would have turned it into a slur by accident.

Of course. I'm not saying people would use that word to be funny, but why would you shorten it to that? Well, I feel like, I mean, she's clearly of diverse roots. I almost feel like it would be some Arboradopolis or something and she's just pulled it back. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's Syrian, Sarah Arbo. Oh, that checks out. Yeah.

Did you ever have people mispronounce your name? Like, you would have the same issue I do. People reading the role going, Michael. Oh, yeah, I get Michelle Chury because my mum's actually Michelle Chury. Oh, my God, I get Michelle Combs, all that sort of stuff. Michelle Combs. Is Michelle on Combs? Is she across this?

No, I just get C-H-U-R-R-I or Churry. Yeah. I found out after two months of dating Sean that I'd been saying his last name wrong. What do you mean? Well, how would you say it when you read it? Moran. Thank you.

Yeah, Sean Moran. I said Sean Moran, but apparently it's Moran. Oh, really? No, it's not. He told me after a while, he had to correct me, and I was like, why didn't you tell me sooner? Although I guess Niall Horan. It's not Niall Horan. There you go.

That's a good example. He's right, Niall Horan It's not Niall Horan There you go That's a good example That's right Niall Horan The way I remember it Is it's like moron But the second O You just put an apostrophe So it's like Oh that man's a moron

Yeah it's a plural You're carrying on Like a fucking moron Anyway That's all the musical chairs Happening at Channel 9 Tracey Grimshaw's out Ali Langdon's on a current affair

Sarah Arbo's in today's show Yep correct Meanwhile On Channel 10 Lisa Wilkinson left the project. Good. No love lost there. Wow! What a savage take. No one fucking likes her. I like Sarah Wilkinson. Lisa Wilkinson. Yeah, Lisa. I would never get her name wrong. I love her that much. I've got nothing against her. I actually quite get her name wrong. I love her that much. I've got nothing against her.

I actually quite like her. She's a pig of a woman, honestly. What? Is this because of that Logies thing? No. Well, that was the cherry on top. I already thought she was a pig of a woman. For those that don't know, she's embroiled in a legal case with Brittany Higgins.

Not really. It's got nothing to do with her, and yet she makes it all about her. Right. The only thing I like about her is she's got a nice smile. And impeccable hair because people likened my hair to her. Yeah, she also shared your video that time. Remember? You have to do more than that to win me over.

She's an idiot. I've shared his videos and he hates me. Yeah, that's true. I just don't like her because she just makes everything about her. She's very melodramatic and she just flat out lies. She's a bit Belle Gibson in that way. Oh, Belle Gibson. Belle Gibson, hardcore.

Do you remember in her book, Lisa Wilkinson's book, she detailed word for word how frosty it was on set, her last day on the Today Show. No, I didn't hear it. Well, she scripted out the interaction between them on air and she's like, Carl didn't even ask me about how my weekend was, my time away with my husband renewing our wedding vows, implying that he was like, he didn't even ask me about how my weekend was, my time away with my husband renewing our wedding vows, implying that he was like he didn't even give a shit about her.

But then they went and like why would she lie about something that happened on fucking air? Because they went and found the tape and he did and he was lovely to her and they did acknowledge it and nothing she wrote in the book was accurate. She's just a fucking – she plays the victim and she's horrible. Okay, fair, fair take. So she is out. Lisa Wilkinson is out. Yep, she plays the victim and she's horrible. Okay, fair, fair take. So she is out. Lisa Wilkinson is out.

Yep, she's out as well as Carrie. We actually do care that Carrie Bickmore's leaving. She's the OG. I love Carrie Bickmore. I've always loved Carrie. She's really smart. She's the main character of the project, if you like. Her show, yeah.

Yep, she had her last night, last week. Take a listen. And finally, to our viewers, this show is for you and you alone. And I remember once being in hospital with Evie and I met a group of girls Finally, to our viewers, this show is for you and you alone. And I remember once being in hospital with Evie and I met a group of girls who were sitting around having dinner. They were patients. They were in one of the wards and one of them pulled me aside and she said a massive thank you with tears in her eyes.

And she said to me that she spent a lot of time in hospital and every night at 6.30 her mum had to go home. And she said it was the saddest part of her day. then she would sit there feeling lonely and she'd turn on the TV and she'd eat dinner and watch us that we had kept her company and made her feel happier and feel less alone and I think of that young girl often when I'm having a flat day or missing my kids at night I'm so glad I could have kept her company and I hope I've kept many of you company over the years. It's been the greatest job in the world.

Thank you. God bless her. You know, I remember when her, because her husband had brain cancer, right? Yeah. That's how he died. Yeah, he died. And then I remember when she fell pregnant. I remember when she had her first son.

She was on Rove Live. Like I've grown up with Carrie. So this is, this is very big. And she's raised when she fell pregnant. I remember when she had her first son. She was on Rove Live. Like, I've grown up with Carrie. So this is very big. And she's raised millions for brain cancer. Oh, really? With her beanies for brain cancer and all that. Do you know how Carrie Bigmore came to be? How?

I think one of her very early gigs was as the newsreader for our mate Kate Lanebrook's radio show. No way. She was using Kate's newsreader. Before she was on TV. Oh, my God, I didn't know that. That radio show. No way. She was using Kate's newsreader. Before she was on TV. Oh my God, I didn't know that. That's crazy. I know.

See, the root of all talent in this country is radio. It is. No, if you'd buddy up with Kate Langbrook, you'll fly high. Good point. Look what we've done to ourselves. All right, so she's out. She's out. And thank God, her replacement.

I was absolutely over the moon that they chose Sarah Harrison. Another friend of the show. Sarah from Studio 10. Yeah, we've had her on our show. She's been on Sarah Harris, another friend of the show. I love Sarah. Sarah from Studio 10. Yeah, we've had her on our show. She's been on hers. She's been on our show. We've been on hers.

Yeah, we love her. That was a perfect choice. I was secretly rooting in the sidelines like, yeah, it's got to be her. Some of the other people, they were floating. I was like, nah. Abby Chatfield was floated, for God's sake. Yeah, I was like, I wouldn't call Abby a journalist. I don't think Abby would call Abby a journalist. But anyway, I think, yeah, she's got the good combo that Carrie had.

Like she's fun but also you take her seriously when she is doing the newsy stuff. Yeah, I agree. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree. Well, good on her. We're like media week here. This is like we're a media podcast, the ups and downs of television. Anyway, big movements in the radio scene for Mitch Turi here next year.

It's a big year and announcement pending, just so everyone knows. Oh, well, I won't be covering that bullshit. No, a big year and announcement pending, just so everyone knows. Oh, well, I won't be covering that bullshit. No, no, you will. That will not make my segment, I can assure you. Once you hear the news about what he's doing in 2023, you'll need a moment of quickie. You'll know Mitch is a longie, which no one's ever said before. Oh, wow.

All right, I've got a secret guest waiting on Zoom. I just got the notification. My guest is here. Shall we move on? Sure. All right. Is it just me? Listening on Spotify, don't forget to leave a five-star rating.

Okay. I'm very excited for this. A special guest is standing by on Zoom. Guest booker Mitch back on duty. I love it. Look at me go. Well, really, on duty for the first time. In months.

Let's be real. I had a guest on my radio show on the night show this week, and she's part of the family, part of the iHeartRadio podcast network. Her podcast astrology coach uses groundbreaking technology. You'll love this, Mitch. Every single user gets a unique tarot reading at the end of the episode. There's like 78 or 79 unique tarot cards that gets generated uniquely for each podcast listener. You know, actually, I tried it.

Oh, my God. You listen to the show? Yes. I don't understand. Generates uniquely. What do you mean? Well, we'll talk. We'll ask about it because the host of the show, the wonderful Astro Tash, joins us now.

Let's get her up on Zoom. She's standing by. Hello, Astro Tash. I can't see her. Oh, there she is. Hi. Hi, guys. How are you?

Look at her. Isn't she cool? I am obsessed with Astro Tash. So Astrology Coach on iHeartRadio. Go have a listen. Tash, quickly tell us about that technology because it's very cool. Can I just call you Tash, by the way? You can call me Tash. Gorgeous. Oh my God, look at her with the crystals in the background. You're legit, Tash. Oh, wow. Yes, that's my little stash there. So this technology to do with the tarot is revolutionary. It's actually a world

first and I believe it's called Digital Insertion Technology. But I just sort of think that it's the universe's way of getting a message to you so it doesn't matter how it comes, if it comes from a book or, you know, a conversation with a person. I imagine it's probably similar technology to how different listeners of ours in different states get different ads in the middle of the podcast. So just a different tarot card will pop up depending

on who's listening. Yeah, and so if you listen to the same podcast several times that day, you might get a different card every time. Amazing. Anyway, the reason Tash is here is because Tash came on my radio show and she did a birth chart reading from my birth chart, which is, I mean, Tash, you can elaborate more, I'm sure, but the date of birth, where you were born and the time you were born and the revelation

that Tash had that Mitch is going to lose his mind about is that I have been protected against mercury and retrograde. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I'm immune to mercury and retrograde. It can't affect me. What? Yes. Tash, it's true, isn't it?

It is true. And this is because you were born with mercury retrograde in your chart so it makes you more comfortable with that energy when it comes along wow and so for any new listeners i've been a bit superstitious for years on this podcast every time mercury's in retrograde you don't hear the fucking end of it from me no because it really toys with my emotions and my schedules everything's just a bit out of whack for me. Technology fails. And a lot of people write in saying it affects them too. But you've said it affects you too.

I think I've just gaslit you and gone along with it. I really just ham it up. There's nothing really wrong. Oh, my God. You're such a people pleaser. You just try and relate to me. You're like, yeah, I feel it too. It's true.

Well, I'm a Libra. I have like five Libra placings, don't I? I'm a massive people pleaser. You'm a Libra. I have like five Libra placings, don't I? I'm a massive people pleaser. You're very Libra. And people pleasing can be more of a shadow quality of Libra, so you do have to be wary of that. Well, here's the thing. So Tash gave me an incredible reading.

What I've done, Mitch, is I've sourced Tash. I've spoken to your mother. I've got your birth time. I know your birth suburb. Tash has been working hard behind the scenes and she's got your whole birth chart. How exciting. You need to know, Tash, that a few friends of mine

who are really into astrology have tried to do readings like this for me and I'm very cynical towards them, but there's just something about you that I trust. I agree. Well, I love a sceptical mind. I think that's really healthy. And, you know, I will say... Hear that?

I'm fucking healthy. Okay, so what do you have for Mitch? So I've sent you his birthday, his place of birth, time of birth. I'm surprised you remembered my birthday. I've got heaps to tell you about your chart, Mitchell. So firstly, we'll start with the sun sign because everybody knows their sun sign, and yours is in Leo. Now, the sun represents your basic character,

how you like to shine your light out into the world. And Leos, I guess the misconception about Leo is that they're meant to be, you know, uber confident. But often with Leos, it's their destiny to step into that confidence. So you're not necessarily born with it. So part of your journey in this life is to develop confidence and to build on it. Leos are super creative and very, very warm-hearted, probably one of my favourite signs in the Zodiac actually.

Oh, thank you. Everyone always goes, Leo, ooh. Well, I just think brave, lion, I don't know. Yeah, lion. Just ferocious. Ferocious, great mane, you know, mates for life, that sort of thing. Yeah, and, you know, you're stepping into all of that throughout your life and you're still quite young,

so you're still on that journey. One of the negative traits about being a Leo. I'm going to get my pen. Hold on. Oh, here we go. Get me, yeah. This is probably what people are referring to is they can be a bit of a drama queen, you know, and this is because they're

especially theatrical and they're is because they're especially theatrical and they're theatrical because they are creative. They are one of the most creative signs of the zodiac. So you're a fire sign, lots of motivation, lots of ideas. Bullshit. There's none. I'm so lazy. No, but you get a lot done.

You do. For someone who's very lazy, you non-stop work. Oh, maybe, but you said I'm dramatic. I do get a lot done, but again, you never hear the end of it. That's a good done. You do. For someone who's very lazy, you nonstop work. Oh, maybe. But you said I'm dramatic. I do get a lot done. But, again, you never hear the end of it. That's a good point. I win. Well, you know, I mean, look at what you're doing just right here,

right now. You're obviously doing something. So I'm not buying that you get nothing done. But I can see how you might think that of yourself because you've got a Virgo ascendant. And a Virgo ascendant can be really, really harsh and really critical. What does Ascendant mean? Not just of other people.

Okay. So that is your rising sign. What's a rising sign? I will explain this to you. It is. It was the sign. It was the zodiac sign on the easternmost point of the horizon at your exact time of birth. So it's time sensitive.

But, you know, all that technical stuff aside, it basically is the sign that represents how other people might see you. So it's part of your personality, but it's a little bit more of the outer layer of who you are. Oh, this will be good. Yeah. So people see you as someone who's got it all together, but you can be a real perfectionist and that can be one of your strengths, but it can also be to your detriment.

I think it's more of a detriment. But I want to just, well, it can definitely be both. And this is where you need to kind of, if you're aware of this, then you can work with it and you can kind of go easy on yourself when you know you're going a little bit too hard on yourself and being too critical. But I want to go back to the sun sign because you've got something very interesting about your sun sign and that is it's like it's making this really strong connection to Uranus. Oh, that checks out. He just got a new Uranus in his life.

Oh, you mean the planet. Sorry, he just got a boyfriend. I thought, oh, I get it. I get it. Oh, the planet. Sorry, he just got a boyfriend. I thought, oh, I get it, I get it, oh, the planet. All right, I've heard all the Uranus jokes, but like even I sort of giggled at that one because it came out. It's very funny. I'm very funny now, yeah.

But this kind of, this affects your personality and who you are and, you know, I love this because it means that you're kind of quirky, you're a little weird but wonderful. Yeah, that checks out. And you like to do things differently. You dance to the beat of your own drum. Someone who doesn't follow tradition, who kind of makes their own rules. Oh, okay, yeah, that's applicable.

So scooting right along to your moon sign, which is in Scorpio. How many bloody signs do I have? How many signs does one person have? So many. Oh, fuck. Well, heaps. You know, you've got basically the birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens at your moment of birth.

So it shows all of the planets in all of the signs and some are more important than others. Your moon sign is in Scorpio and this is about, you know, this is a deeper layer. So this shows a really deep and profound emotional landscape and interest in otherworldly topics. So I'm kind of surprised you're not into astrology. Maybe you are secretly.

I am. Speaking of secrets, you're very good at keeping them. I am. Yeah, he is. The dirt I have on Mitchell, Cherry, Tash, you've got no idea. I also love that we keep going, he is, and Tash is like, I know. I'm reading his map. I'm telling you this.

Tell me something I don't know, Tash. Well, I love the validation. Keep it coming. But so extremely passionate as well, you know, emotionally. Anything in there that would shock him? Because in my chart, there was a lot in there that you thought, this is interesting and this is so interesting. Is there anything that stands out in Mitch's chart that makes you think,

oh, this is unique? Yes. What was a standout to me was actually the relationship between the two of you, between Mitch and Mitchell. Oh. I would say I would kind of call this a soulmate relationship because of this placement. Yeah, and, you know, soulmates come in all different shapes and sizes. Yeah, I mean, yes.

That's very true. Well, different types of relationships. This might shock you, I suppose, Mitchell, but the placement of Chiron in your chart tells me that you've actually got natural healing qualities and you are a natural teacher. So, you know, I'm not sure whether that resonates with you, but it's there and it's very, very strong.

The healing bit is interesting. The teaching bit, I have been told, like, especially when I'm teaching people to drive, they're like, you're a great teacher and stuff like that. I'm good at being concise and explaining things. But the healing part, see, I am a hurler. Now, I've never said this, but Mitch gives very good advice. And often when there's things going astray in life, I will go to Mitch or seek his advice

because it's one that I can trust and it's often very accurate. That comes back to the secrets I've got about you. Yes. He's got a lot of dirt on me. Wow. So we're soulmates and we're working together. Wow. Yeah.

It's a beautiful working partnership. You have several different alignments, particularly in Gemini. I'm Gemini. Which is? Jen is a Gemini. Oh. Well, see, you know, we could look at all three of your charts and I bet that that would kind of weave in somewhere.

So Gemini is a sign of media and broadcasting. So it's perfect. You've also got Venus in Gemini is the sign of media and broadcasting. So it's perfect. You've also got Venus in Gemini. So this is particularly flirty but also you need an intellectual connection to really be turned on by a partner. Yeah. That's so important for you. Do you want me to just go into a couple of little predictions that I have?

Please do. I was yet. Okay, so you currently have Mars retrograding over your midheaven, which is your sign of career and vocation and the direction your life is going in. Is that good? It can cause a bit of stress and frustration at work, but it can also be good in that it can cause some excitement.

Good, no, this you need to know. This is good. You need to be equipped with the information. And it can be exciting, but you need to step into the excitement and not see it as being sort of stressful or frustrating if possible. Wow. Okay. That is where I go wrong.

I go, this is stressful. I can't be bothered. Yeah. If it's too much. But this is just, this is temporary. This is kind of from now until, or it has been going on since end of October. It'll start to get better around mid-January. But it's triggering your Venus sign as well.

So I've got a little note here. If single, there's tons of chemistry around you right now. So there's an attraction. Is this a new partner that you've just? Yeah, very new. Very. Yeah. So this is the Mars and the Venus coming together, which creates that sexual tension and chemistry, and it's really nice. But towards the end of March, you will be experiencing a Mars return.

And what that does is it's going to bring about a lot of questions and reassessment around your ambitions and where you're headed in life and how you go about asserting yourself. I've never really had any trouble with being assertive. Let me just tell you. I was going to say he really thrives in the confrontation. But, yeah, I'll keep an ear out in March for something that pisses me off, I guess. If I'm around, I'm sure it'll happen.

No, she said to my partner. Well, we are soulmates so so maybe it could be me. I'm trying to make everything about you. No, I'm just saying it doesn't have to be Sean. It could be me, Tash, right? It could be anyone and, you know, it could be in your work, it could be in your relationships, just anything that requires you to step up to the plate and assert yourself.

I see that you have no trouble asserting yourself verbally because you've got Mars in Gemini in your natal chart. So you're probably quite quick to speak your mind, sometimes maybe too quick. Yes, thank you. And Tasha did me when she said that and I appreciate it. And also I will say that Venus will be retrograding through your sun sign through Leo next year.

Retrograde is very triggering, Natasha. What the fuck does that mean? And is anything going to retrograde through his anus? He'd love that. Well, this is going to be happening from July until September and this might get you to sort of think about what you want out of love. It might mean that in this new relationship you're kind of looking at the next step and discussing that and reflecting on it,

but this is more of an internal kind of dialogue that you're having of looking at the next step and discussing that and reflecting on it. But this is more of an internal kind of dialogue that you're having with yourself. It's about how am I going to get the acknowledgement that I deserve? So there's some ambition to reflect on there. Wow. The acknowledgement I deserve. Okay.

Well, it's all come to light. Tash, this is incredible. We could go on for hours. Mitch is writing notes as we speak. And I think if you want to get a personal – I mean, Tash, do you do personal one-on-ones or no? If people want more of this, it's on your podcast. I do, but I've just shut down that side of things for now while I focus

on the podcast and all my other little bits and pieces in the media. Yeah. Yes. Well, I just followed you on Instagram, Astro Tash, and I see that you're on Sunrise the other day. So she's legit. Oh, my God. I'm not even kidding.

I mean, I was a skeptic and then had Tash on my show and I fell in love with her. I mean, how could you not? Yeah, true. And then this podcast, Jenna listens. I mean, Jenna is a podcast critic. So I think that's a good sign. So go and have a listen. Astrology Coach on iHeartRadio.

It's part of the family. Astro Tash,. Astrology Coach on iHeartRadio. It's part of the family. Astro Tash, we adore you. Thank you so much for being here. Astro Tash on Instagram. And if anything, any asteroids you feel come any of our way, please call us. Yes.

Please. Yeah. Likewise, if something comes up and you need a bit of astrological clarification, just give me a buzz. All right. Well, we love you, Tash. Come back any time. And people get the podcast.

Go listen to Astrology Coach. Yeah, and you'll get apparently your own tarot card served to you in the podcast. Exactly. That's very fancy technology. I love that. There's something out there for you listening. You. All right, Tash, we'll talk to you soon. Thank you, guys.

Thank you so much. Thanks so much. Thank you. Oh, Tash, that was so much fun. We'll see you soon. Bye. Bye. Thank you.

See ya. Gosh, she kind of gives an older jenna vibe she looks like an older jenna now that you mention it yeah if jenna just like straightened her hair a bit yeah yeah did you notice the mispronunciation though oh you're i'm sorry when you said when you said oh mitch is writing notes i was like yeah i am the words that she mispronounced. No, she just did one, right? Uranus. No, Uranus. Oh, Uranus. Oh, Uranus. Like a piranha.

Maybe that's how you're supposed to say it. Maybe we're not academic enough to understand. Oh, look out the window. It's running. Damn it, running. I should have asked her for a prediction and be like, how long until Jenna finally abandons the podcast? I'm very happy for Sarah Harrison and her new co-host,

Harmish McDonald. No, we love Tash. We do. We do love Tash. Just for clarification, we do love her. Oh, yeah. Don't you mean Tash? Yes, I mean Tash.

No, because Tash is going to be listening to this. When people mispronounce something. That's what I'm saying. Maybe we're wrong. Maybe we're wrong? Yeah, I mean Tash. No, because Tash is going to be listening to this. When people mispronounce something. That's what I'm saying. Maybe we're wrong. Maybe we're wrong. Yeah, it's true. We pick up people's mispronouncing things all the time. Astrology coach.

Maybe we've just been saying it wrong by accident this whole time. Potentially. All right, we have to go home. Let's go. Yeah, we better go. Let's get out of here. See you next week, everyone. A couple more episodes of the year, okay?

So save them up. Yeah, next week's the second last episode and then the big finale. Correct. And I'm thinking for the big finale, let's get Sean on and let's do Sean. What was my idea? I forget. Oh, well, if you've forgotten, then there's no need to go on and on about it. The Sean Pips!

Yes, the Sean Pips! The Sean Pips! Explain to me what the Sean Pips is going to be. Listen, you guys are going to go through a rough patch between March and September. So we really should do it right now. No, it just means I'm going to assert myself about the direction I want it to go in. Maybe I'll become really clingy and be like, let's get married. Maybe.

True. I can imagine that you get married before we do. Oh my God. The Sean Pitt is just like, we did Gold Digger with Hayden and me and you. The idea behind Gold Digger is that we aimlessly ask questions. We go into the interview with no particular agenda and you just aimlessly ask questions and hope to discover something fascinating about the person that you didn't know. Correct.

That's how you found out about my cat nails. Correct. Correct. Now, we think that's too hard for Sean. We didn't do it to Hayden, so it's not fair that we do it to Mitch's new partner, Sean. So my idea is we do the Sean pit. Is that just more gentle line of questions? Gentle.

Yeah, gentle. If anything, playful. Yeah. Really? You want to do that for the last episode of the year? Yeah, I think so. You listening. You get in touch. I did run the idea by Sean. Let me find it.

Hold on. God, here we go. This is his reply. It'll be very political. No, it wasn't political. That sounds really fun. I have no idea what the fuck a sandpit or a Sean pit is, but whatever it is, that sounds delightful, I think.

I might be an absolute idiot. But look, I want to be really, really, I really want to stress, like, only if that's something that you're happy and comfortable and keen to do yourself. So just let me know, but I think I'd be down for that. I think that sounds like so much fun. You're still in that phase of the relationship where you're checking if things are okay with each other.

That fades real quickly. Wow. You just do it. Four years in, babe, we're doing this. Yeah, who's making sure that I'm comfortable with it? No, I'm saying it's very sweet, and that is a verbal confirmation! That was so loud. I know, I know, but we're celebrating because we're verbal confirmation. Sean Pitt. That was so loud.

I know, I know. But we're celebrating because we're excited for the Sean Pitt season finale locked in. You do realise that we record during business hours. He has a real job. So sorry, he's not available, unfortunately. I can shift things around in my schedule. Likewise. I can go to his office.

All right, we'll work it out. We'll do scheduling. Don't worry. Yeah. Okay, just so you know, in case there's any doubt in your mind, I'm leaving that all to you. So if it comes to the last day of the year and you say, where's Sean?

I'm going to say that was on you. Got it. That's all on you. Jenny's talking to you when he says that. No, he's talking to you. No, what a shame. Sean won't be joining us. No, I'll make it happen. If I can get Astro Tash, I can get Sean.

She's a full-time podcaster. Of course she's available for podcasting. She had a great set-up too. She's brilliant. Impressive. All right, everyone. See you next week. Second to last episode of the year and one episode before the launch of Sean Pitt.

Leave us a five-star review if you haven't done yet. It takes two seconds. Scroll down. Five stars. And five stars on Spotify as well. Yes, please. Thank you. We'll see you in a week for the semi-final.

The what? The semi-final, that's right. You're not watching sport concerts like we do. The World Cup's on in Qatar. They're very supportive of us gays and we love it. Yeah. Anyway. Did you ever play the guitar in primary school?

I did. I didn't like the callousy fingers so I quit. Oh. Yeah. That was callousy fingers, so I quit. That was callousy and the skin that peels off. Anyway, thanks for listening, you. Thanks, you. We'll catch you next week. See ya. 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 AD Debrief. This is our secret segment on the end. We pretend we're done, but guess what? We're fucking not. Surprise! We just keep talking.

Long episode today. There's a lot going on, I feel. A lot of discussion points, a lot of topics. It's almost like it's a podcast. Yeah, well, we're running out of time before the end of the year. We've got to squeeze all the chatter in now. True. Soulmate.

Isn't that nice? How cute. And we didn't even prompt that. She brought that to the table. The stars aligned. You've got to play that Paris Hilton song now. I wanted to, but we did it for Star last week. It's the same word. It's the same word.

I don't actually think Tash is a Stars are Blind vibe. No, you're right. She's more like Tash. You know what I mean? It's Astro Tash. No, wouldn't it be something

space-like? Because it's all about the planets. Oh, you're so right. Astro Tash. What? No, wouldn't it be something space-like? Because it's all about the planets. Oh, you're so right. AstroTash is here. Hi, AstroTash. What's this music from again? It's X-Files. What's X-Files?

What's the premise? Aliens. Yeah. UFOs or something. UFOs, extraterrestrial. No, we need to find the perfect Tash music. Like Grimes or something. Oh, that could work.

Can you look up Age of Aquarius? That's a Planet song. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Age of Aquarius. Let me have a look. You know what we should do for our last episode of the year as well? There were people in the Facebook group saying that when we did karaoke, that was one of the favourite things we've done. Oh, we could do that for sure.

That was fun. We need to bring it back. Oh, Tash is here. Hi, Tash. This is perfect. Yeah. Hello and welcome to Astro Tash, the podcast, whatever it is. What is it called again?

Astrology Coach. That's it. Astro Tash. Oh, yeah, this is perfect. Oh, that's really good. Call her back. We'll tell her this is a new theme song. She's busy.

She's at the crystal markets. Aquarius Oh, that's good. Aquarius Who is this? The fifth dimension. Harmony and understanding. Something, something abounding.

I can't remember the words. Okay, that really pans off. So my option is Astro Tash is here. Oh. She walks very slowly, so sector perfect. She's got ingrown toenails, so she takes ages to get to the studio. Ouch. There she is.

She's slowly walking. Oh. Oh. This feels a bit like impending doom. No. I don't think that's Astro Tasha's fault. Ready? This is a space odyssey.

This is just me on the fly. How good's a steel drum? Yes. Is that a steel drum? Couldn't agree more. I don't think it's a wooden one. Ready? Astro Tash, welcome, girl!

Hello! This is from a space odyssey. Stanley Kubrick. Can you look up something else? Yes, of course. Jupiter, the bringer of jollity. I love that. I remember in school I played this in the orchestra.

Really? Yeah. It's really long, though, so just skip to the hump. Okay. I bet the hump is the good bit at the end. You'll recognise it. This is the hump. Okay. I bet the hump is the good bit at the end. You'll recognise it. This is the hump. Oh, I thought it was Jurassic Park for a moment there.

Same composer. No way. Velociraptor Jones, you're right. This is obviously a live recording of my school orchestra. Yeah. I don't know where I recognise this tune from, but it's like, I think there's hymns to it. Someone in the comments says 440 is one of my favourite pieces

of music in history. Me too. Let's jump, no, 4 minute 40. Oh. So let's jump to it. It's good. A bit much for Astro Cash, I think. Yeah, it's a lot.

It was so hard learning that song. You have no idea. I don't even know how you did it. Yeah. I'm going to tell you something here. And I don't tell you many things on this show, but I was at a wedding two weekends ago, and the mass exodus from the project, they were all leaving.

Peter Helly is the funny one. He's been there since the start. Like the Carrie Bickmore Rove days. He's old. He has not been there since the start. He's been there a long time. You replaced Dave Hughes. You replaced Dave Hughes.

Yeah. Thank you, Mitchell. Yeah. And I was at a wedding, right? And Aaron Chen, who's on Have You Been Paying Attention? He's a comedian. He's funny. He's on Fisk as well. He's on Fisk, yes. With Kitty Flanagan, your mate. Anyway,

I was at his wedding. His girlfriend Esther is one of Hayden's best friends. So there were a whole bunch of comedians there, right? So the comedians were all in a circle and these comedians frequent the project in that funny seat, that rotating seat. And then I went up to get an Aaron Cheney ball because they were right next to their table. And his name's Aaron Chen. And so I was like, oh, they're comedians.

I'll make them barrel laugh. So I said, oh, can you pass one of the Aaron Cheney balls? Because his name's Aaron. That's funny. Can you pass me one of your balls? Yeah. Hey, Aaron, pass me one of your balls. Zip, what are you doing?

Anyway, they all, of course, laughed hysterically. And then I sort of like lingered. Like I knew some of them, so we're all kind of talking and then we're just kind of there. And then, you know, like you come into a conversation and they like add you in for a little bit, then they go back to what they were talking about. And they go, anyway, yeah, did you hear that Pete Hellyer's been dropped?

And I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. So then I kind of melted away with my Aaron Chin. He went back to Hayden. I'm like, mate, Pete Helly has been dropped from the project. He couldn't care less. He doesn't have any idea about this shit. Well, your soulmate should have been there.

I would have been interested. I know, and I should have texted you. I do believe that I don't reckon he was dropped. He said it was his decision, but Lisa said it was her decision as well. But I don't believe that. I think she was he was dropped. He said it was his decision, but Lisa said it was her decision as well. But I don't believe that. I think she was dropped and they gave her the courtesy of saying, we'll let everyone think that you had the decision and it was your idea to leave just so you can leave with a bit of dignity.

I agree. But they would have been like, get off our show, you old wench. Can you do it as an impression of Sarah Harris saying that to Lisa? Oh, Lisa. But I feel like she'd be that to Lisa. Oh. But I feel like she'd be nice about it. Please. Please. Quick one.

Get off my panel. That's good. Yeah. Oh, that was a good now. Very Sarah. Why do I have to go lower to sound like her? Tristan will take his stuff out. Yeah. Who's going to replace Sarah?

I think it'll be David Doody. Yeah, no, but they need a... Daniel Doody. They need a female. Yeah, they do. I don't know who they're going to... Lisa. Ah, that would be the best if they fucking put her on Studio 10.

I love Studio 10, purely for... Sarah. Sarah. Ange. And I do like... I love Ange. Oh, my God, An? And I do like, I love Ang. Oh, my God, Ang. I actually like them all.

It's weird. The only one I haven't met is Daniel Doody. But I've met, actually, no, sorry, I have met him. He was lovely. And he already knew who I was. I was like, bitch. He's a big fan of yours. He's a big fan of this podcast.

I met him in. So is Tristan. Yeah, Tristan is. When I went in to promote the comedy show, it's weird. I was wearing this exact shirt. When I went in to be interviewed on Studio 10, Tristan was like, oh, you and Mitch, I love you. I love you both.

You're still fucking funny together. And then Narelda was like, I saw you on Oxford Street on Friday night. And I was like, shit. What state was I in? Anyway, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. That's all. Couldn't agree more. So we do.

There we go. Mitch has had to say that on his own, Jenna. I'm very sorry. Star thought we were part of some fucking cult when we went into that bit. She freaked the fuck out. Good luck with your show. Two pearls, one hat. That's actually my grandma name.

Two widows, one budgerigar. I'd listen to that. Two coffees, one sugar. Two toils, one Cadbury. I love a toil. All right. Thanks for listening, everyone.bury. I love a twirl. Alright, thanks for listening everyone. The semi-finals next week. And if we get to Golden Point, it'll be huge and then we'll go to the grand final the week after.

Hopefully there's no penalty shot. Oh, imagine. Should we get Shakira to sing us a grand final song? Yes. Yeah, let's do that. The waka waka. I want a new one. Get Shakira to write us a new one for the finale.

But isn't she in legal trouble? She's going to prison. Yeah. Yeah, well. Celebrity prisoner. Oh, well, we wanted someone to call from prison. We did. She can be the prisoner.

Good point. Who's going to get on that? I'm not. You guys can do that. Jen, that was really your idea. Jen, if you could just sort that Shakira by next week, thank you. Shakira original composition, thanks.

Can you just seize that, Jenna, in the next seven business days, please? Actually, we've only got five. By COB, really. Yeah, by COB. Okay. Did we all get Black Friday stuff? Anyone shop any Black Friday sale?

Yeah, I told you. That's when I got on my new furniture. It was perfect. Oh, you did actually, yeah. Did you, Jenna? Yeah, I did. I got this T-shirt. Oh, show me.

Jenna, your hair is covering the words. It's just a Gander T-shirt. Oh, you love Gander. Yeah's perfect. Oh, you did actually, yeah. Did you, Jenna? Yeah, I did. I got this t-shirt. Oh, show me. Jenna, your hair is covering the words. It's just a Gander t-shirt. Oh, you love Gander. Yeah, yeah. Very hip. Yeah, cool. You're saying it how Astro Bitch would say it. Gander. Astro Tash. Why isn't she Astro Tash?

What do you mean? She only said Uranus. She said Uranus. It's anus, babe. We know. I get the vibe. Uranus. I get the vibe that it was intentional because she has to say it so often she doesn't want to laugh every time.

Yeah, but I remember at school they would avoid saying Uranus and they'd say Uranus. Well, you know what? Why can't they just say Uranus? It's not even funny. Who would giggle? I agree. We also do fucking sex ed. Yeah.

It's fine. We're learning about willies? I agree. We also do fucking sex ed. Yeah. It's fine. We're learning about willies in fannies and not willies in butts. I wish they'd teach that now. I wonder if they do. Where would you start? Lesson one, douching. They wouldn't teach that. At least you had a gay teacher.

They're like, sit down. See that pump bottle? It'll do. Anyway, Jenna, good luck with two girls, three carts. Thank you. I've already done the 3% better thing, so we should go. Yeah, Jenna, good luck with two girls, three carts. Thank you. I've already done the 3% better thing, so we should go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to interview in 20 seconds.

All right. We better get out of here. Thank you. Thanks for listening, everybody. Bye-bye. See you next week. Bye. Is it just me?
