People do some weird shit. Would you like to try a vape? Why would you take up something that is going to be addictive and expensive? I think for people... I'll tell you why. Yeah. Because you're young and stupid. Some things make more sense than others.

You mentioned that your goal was to be healthy and I just don't know how you figure that's going to happen when you're ordering a chocolate mousse. No. You know, I had it in the car on the way home and I didn't have a spoon. So I was like an armadillo trying to get ants out of a hole. I was like... Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.

Being fingered is an awful sensation. Getting 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. Oh my God, how are you? Oh, for the final time in 2022. Hello, you. Hello, last time. I feel like it was yesterday that we started season four. What the fuck's happened?

I know, I lost track of seasons. Remember when we had like a calendar and we had like 30 episodes per season? Yeah. Gave up on that. I know that we say this every year. Oh, it flew by, but this year more than ever. Oh, God, yeah. I feel like it was literally yesterday we got the new artwork and the 100th episode

and all that stuff, and now it's gone. I know. We're ready for a new season, but we're not done yet. One final episode and we're going out with a bang. It's very exciting. Yeah. There's someone lurking outside the studio with a bang. It's very exciting. Yeah. There's someone lurking outside the studio today. Yeah.

He's in waiting, everyone. Yeah, no, it's just me. It's fine. You don't have to be that excited. Oh, yeah, Sam's here. It's Prizekeeper Jenna, our third wheel, as per usual. Hi, Jenna. Hello.

Hi, Jenna. How are you? I'm great. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad. No, in waiting in the green room is Sean, everyone. Mitch's brand new boyfriend.

Welcome, Sean. Hello. Oh, I pressed the right button. Hello. Hello. How are you? I really didn't think you'd actually organise this. I was banking on your terrible organisation.

Listen, Sean and I have been in cahoots. I left him on read. How many days? I was good, like four or five. Four or five days. Four or five days. I knew that would happen. Lucky I had the lead time.

He chased me up. Oh, I bet he would have to. He was begging me to come on. We're going to be doing the first annual. Annual? Why is everything annual? The first ever rendition of the Sean Pitt today. And so what's the idea behind the Sean Pitt?

You're just going to be digging for details on our private life. Is that what's happening today? Listen, I really like Sean. And from the background check I've done and the police check, so does society. And I just want to make sure he's right for you because how long has it been with you guys now? We're coming up to six months now.

Oh, and Sean just held it up with his fingers. You know, those inside out. I knew. I didn't have to read the fucking fingers. I knew it was six months. Yeah, long fingers. No wonder you're smiling. Anyway, the Sean Pit is where I and Jenna will investigate and dig a little deeper.

And the reason it's the Sean Pit is because I'm not rough and I'm not Tracy Grimshaw. It's playful. It's playful. It's fun. It's like a sand pit. You know, we're going to play with some sand consoles. Maybe knock them down. Exactly.

Maybe get a grain in our eye and have to go to emergency. Who knows? Who knows? Anything can happen. What will happen? But I will say I am waiting. And let me just check. The sand is ready.

Is it moist? It's soft, Jenna. That's good sand. It's really soft. Is that a sand digging sound effect? No, there's a sand pit right there. It sounded like pixie dust. Well, for a gay couple, that probably won't happen.

Anyway, so that's coming up. The Sean Pitt. I'm so excited. We love you, Sean, already. So it's going to be fun. Just relax. Another thing on the way is that I have been fucking with all three of you, Sam, Mitch and Jenna, and I'm going to reveal the prank today, just so you know.

Oh, I hate pranks when I'm not in on it. Oh, it's already happened. Oh. Wait. And I think you've figured it out, Mitch. You're the only one that's cottoned on. I'm very smart. Yeah.

For once. I'm like a Labrador. What is it? I'll tell you about it out, Mitch. You're the only one that's cottoned on. I'm very smart. Yeah, for once. I'm a labrador. What is it? I'll tell you about it later, Jenna. You're such a... You'll remember. You'll remember. You just probably didn't realise it was me behind it.

Oh. Mitch has been slipping arsenic into your drinking water. Oh, not again. That's why you're anemic. Also, for God's sake, it's Christmas! Yes. Oh! You remembered.

Of course I remembered. And I will say... We've got each other presents, right? I hope we've done presents. Of course. Good. I went above and beyond. I'm going to start. Okay.

I'm going to start with presents because I went to four different fucking stores for you, Mitchell Coombs. Yeah. I drove to our tarman. Where the fuck is our tarman? Macquarie Park. Julie went, we don't have it in stock. I said, Julie, the fucking website said you had it in stock, babe.

I hate that. She goes, no, I've got pink in stock. I said, Julie, the fucking website said you had it in stock, babe. I hate that. She goes, no, I've got pink in stock. I don't want pink. I want yellow. Oh. So I had to drive to our tarmac, go to our tarmac. They went, no, I don't have it. Let me call Cherrybrook. Where the fuck are these suburbs? When? When what? No, when did I ask? I thought I'd give you the pleasure.

So Merry Christmas, Mitchell. Oh, it's big. Oh my God, what is this? It's wrapped. It's about. Oh, my God. Enjoy. Oh, my God. Whoa. It's about a metre long.

Is it a puzzle? It's not a puzzle. Now, it's something you mentioned on this very show. Oh, my God. Do you love it? It's like a nana shopping trolley that I mentioned. Is it perfect? You know what?

These are hard to find because I was looking for one myself the other day and I just gave up. I was like, oh, where the fuck are they in Kmart? Can't find it. So thank God you did all the hunting for me. Have a good quality. It's from a dead and it's got an insulated inside. It's from a dead? Yeah, fancy one.

Oh, I love a dead. Holy shit. And it's in Idjim yellow. Perfect. Oh, that's gorgeous. I love it. Will you use it? Of course I'll use it.

Okay, good. Like I said, I was looking for one the other day. I really need one. Oh, that's gorgeous. I love it. Can you use it? Of course I'll use it. Okay, good. I was looking for one the other day. I really need one. Oh, that's cute. Shall I do Jenna's or should you do me? Should I just do? Oh, well, get yours out of the way. Yeah.

All right, Jenna, this is for you. I didn't wrap it because your name's not in the show. Yeah, okay. I will say that there's something in there for you and for Isabella because I was doing the math. Why would you be buying my cat presents via Jenna? What's your cat's name? Connie.

Courtney. Courtney. Connie. That's Courtney. That's cute. She can get high. It's catnip. It's catnip.

No, that shit's great, Jenna. Connie will love it. So I've got catnip for Isabella. She'll go feral for about half an hour and then green out. Oh, really? All day. Oh, it is wrapped. Oh, that's wrapped.

Yeah, of course. Oh, this will take fucking 10 years. Jenna's so slow. Katnip, when I checked, I'll just use your claws. When I checked out of Pet Barn, they were like, use this sparingly. And I'm like, oh, Jenna knows how to self-medicate. This cat's fine. She doesn't need directions.

She'll be just right. That's from Peter Alexander. How cute is that? What is it? Look, I've seen these. You have to say what it is, Jenna. It's a podcast. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

They're pajama shorts from Peter Alexander with cats on them. They're so cute. All right, well, while we're at it. Is that all right? Should I do mine? They're perfect. There's receipts in there. You can change it.

Should I do mine while we're at it? Yes. Jenna, while Should I do mine? They're perfect. There's receipts in there. You can change it. Should I do mine while we're at it? Yes. Jenna, while you're in the spirit of unwrapping, here you go. Kind of teens with the theme. No spoilers. Thank you. This is for you. Oh, thank you.

Oh, it's an envelope. Oh, for fuck's sake. Read what's on the envelope. Read it out. It says, don't read this out, but pretend this is beautifully wrapped. It's a podcast. No one will see that it's just a boring one-on-one. And he goes, oh, it's an envelope.

Tried to cover my tracks so hard. You go first, Jenna. I also have some rosé if anyone would like some. Stop it. Yeah, it's low alcohol because we're going 2023 clean. What is the point of that? I never agree to that shit going into 2023 clean. Absolutely not. You can pour the rose out. Yeah, right. Thank you.

Oh, this is so cute. Yeah, what did I give you, Jenna? It's a little cat mug. Yep. It's like a little teacup set with a cat on it. Oh, that's gorgeous. That's so cute. Wow, we know Jenna so well. We both just went down the cat path. I love it so much.

Thank you. All right, let me open mine. Oh, the big bove's coming off. Now, I need you to know that I did have to ask your gay facto Hayden, what should I get Mitchell? He's so hard to buy for. And there is part of me that thinks maybe this is more a present for him than you because this is what he suggested. Do you know how hard it is to get in here?

No, I don't. This is right up my alley. It's a voucher. It's a voucher for Bistecca. What's that? Oh, my God. Bistecca's like the best steak restaurant in Australia. Oh, there you go.

God, I'm good. Oh, my God. Thank you. No, you're welcome. Oh, that's lovely. I'm assuming you'll take Hayden. Yeah. Depends how Sean goes.

I might get a call up. I actually wasn't sure if you'd love that because I feel like knowing you as well as I do, I feel like you'd be adverse to vouchers. You're like, oh, too much admin. They're too fiddly. I forget. Have you used that massage voucher I got you for your birthday in September?

Fuck. Case in point. I have used it. That was fantastic. Oh, gorgeous. She climbed me like a spider monkey. She went in me at one point. Oh.

Yeah. Do you want the Mitchell Coombs one? Sure. All right. I'm pouring the rose. Okay. This is lovely, Mitchell. Thank point. Oh. Yeah. Do you want the Mitchell Coombs one? Sure. All right, I'm pouring the rosé. Okay. This is lovely, Mitchell. Thank you.

No, pleasure. Thank God Hayden gave me an idea because you are actually quite hard to buy for. I'm very hard to buy for, yeah. Okay, my turn. Yeah. I have a rosé. Oh, I didn't realise Jenna had gotten presents too. Oh, beautiful.

That's nice, Jenna. Awkward if you didn't. You didn't get this rosé out of the chilled section, did you? No, I didn't. I was in such a rush. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Thank you, Jenna.

Oh, green and red. Thank you, Jenna. Oh, green and red. Thank you, Jenna. Oh, good one. Oh, it just played its own sound effect. Did you just build that on the radio panel? Yeah. Oh, fuck me. Hold on.

Where's the paper towel in this bitch? Can you turn the fader off at least? Yeah, the mouse is wet. I need tissues urgently. It's a Christmas terror. Help. Well, if it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? We start the same way every week with an Is It Just Me?

Eat something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. There's glass all over the panel. Can you press the button that turns that fader off? Got it. There we go. Thank you. Sorry, sorry, sorry. There we go. Thank you. Sorry, sorry, sorry. There we go.

We're all good. Mitchell, I didn't drop it. Look, it shattered. You dropped it. No, listen to me. On Christmas, I didn't drop it. Sam, look. I think you might have bumped it.

You didn't drop it. It's split in half. I didn't drop it. There's still some rose left in there, though, so that's yours, Sam. Cheers. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.. Cheers. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Yay. We're back to regular programming. Okay. Back to the presents. Sorry about that little hiccup. Sean, that doesn't happen everywhere. It really doesn't.

Here you go. Thanks, Jenna. All right, I'm going to open Jenna's present, too. What have we got? You go first. I'm going to do some clean-up quickly. Do you still need to clean up? Oh, shit.

Oh, we just got, oh, Jenna, the first of all the junk food I'm going to devour over Christmas. Fucking hell. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Caramel baubles. I love this. They're repurposing Easter eggs. Yes.

We're like, oh, we've got these fucking round chocolates left over. Let's call them baubles. Exactly. I love it. Oh, a stocking. With a kitty cat. Oh, it's got Isabella's name on the stocking. It's for little Isabella.

Jenna! What does yours have on it? If mine's got my cat's name. Jenna went custom. Well, it's probably got Hayden's name. That's my pussy. Just a joke. We laugh, Sean.

We laugh. Thank you, Jenna. That's gorgeous. So my stocking on it says Mitch. Because I don't have a cat. Now, we're not done with gifts for you, Jenna. I've got one more. Hold on.

I've got a card. Did you have a card? I don't know. Did I? Yeah. Oh, sorry. How nice of you to pay attention. It's a Christmas card.

Cut the music. This is a Christmas card that says, Meowie Christmas and a purry new year from the Two Girls, Three Cats podcast. Oh, my God. It's her rival podcast. Wishing us well. Oh, I thought it was going to be one of those ones when I opened it and make a noise. Thank God.

No, I tried to get that. We wish you a meowie Christmas. Oh, gorgeous, Jenna. Oh, from you and Sammy. Yes, both of us. Thank you. That's lovely. But these gifts are from me.

Okay. We wish you a merry Christmas. We wish you a meowie Christmas. We wish you a Meowie Christmas. We wish you a Meowie Christmas and a bunch of new toys. Sam, here's your card. Oh, shit. That's delightful. Oh, Sam.

I'll go and get the thing that I clearly got you for your... Oh, you didn't get us presents? Yeah, no, I definitely did. No, sweet, let's do a deal. It's fine. Because I didn't get you anything. I thought you wouldn't be here. Oh, Jesus, okay, I'm so glad.

Enjoy your card. Well, Merry Christmas, Sam. All the same. Because I didn't get you anything. I thought you wouldn't be here. Jesus, okay. I'm so glad. Enjoy your card. Merry Christmas, Sam. All the same. Alright, great present. Shall we start the show? No, no, no. Should we give Jenna the ultimate present? Oh, yeah, gotcha. I'm getting more? Can you turn the music off? Yeah, of course. We're out of Christmas now. You need to sit down and calm down. I do. You're very frazzled. Sorry. It's fine. I'm going to sit. Have a seat.

Right? Remember we got Jenna something? I remember. We do like to give her a little surprise every time we have a season finale. One year it was the coffin. Oh, wait. Yep. Then last year we put her in a bin. A recycling bin.

For the whole episode. And we're just waiting. Surely if we give her something, she'll say no and she'll break. Like she just takes it in her stride every time. Exactly. No complaints. Gets in the coffin for the whole episode. Doesn't complain at all.

It was comfortable. What can I say? It was comfortable. And you think, we've got to keep putting her in things. It's become a tradition. Yeah, what can we do this time? Something that's less comfortable that she might actually push back on. All right, here we go.

Oh my God, what is it? This is so exciting. Merry Christmas, Jenna. Merry Christmas. This is your little challenge for this episode. What is this? Don't knock the wine for God's sake. Open.

What have we got? Tell us what you're opening. Okay. So this year we are putting us what you're opening. Okay. So this year we are putting her in. Come on, everybody. Oh my God. No! That would be a straitjacket. Oh

my God. It's a medical grade imported from the EU. Is that your first time in a straitjacket? No, no. Okay, cool. In this life, yes. Do you want to help me put it on? Yes, no. Okay, cool. So you know how to put them on. In this life, yes. Do you want to help me put it on? Yes, please. Sure, I'll help you put it on.

Mitch, you describe what it looks like because it's horrific. It's basically just a cream-coloured jacket, not white. I was kind of expecting white. And it's got a lot of straps. It looks confusing, actually. Yeah, this might take a while. Just face me, Jenna. Now, do you want your pigtails strapped or unstrapped?

How do these work? Where do you reckon you feed all the little bits? Because the arms are meant to be crossed, right? Yeah. Heaven forbid we needed to do something for it. We've lost Jenna's limbs for the episode. You look gorgeous. Thank you.

Had to touch your bosom. Sorry. That's okay. Now, this goes up here. Oh, my God. Yeah, left. So it's her left arm to her right shoulder. Oh, my God.

Listen to all the little shackles on it jingling. Mary J. Blige, eat your heart out. Why don't we carry on? Sam, do you want to try and wrap her in this thing? Yeah, Sam, do you mind wrapping her? Oh, look, I could try. Yeah, give it a go. Yeah.

All right. Okay. Should we get into the Is It Just Me? Have you told everyone what happens if it's your first time listening? Yeah, while you were scrambling over there with the spilt rosé. It's become a bit of a Christmas tradition to do this, and I really love it. Do what? Just mess with Jenna.

Just the gifts and fuck with Jenna, yeah. Yeah. Jenna, do you consent? Yes. There we go. Good call. We probably should have asked that early on. We did ask.

We did ask beforehand. Jenna has consented. All right, do you want to do your Is It Just Me first, or shall I? Yes, I'll do my Is It Just Me. I'll jump in. Oh, my God, first, did you have the last show of the year? The second last Ijim, if you like.

Yeah, second last Ijim of the year. Actually, do we have a caller coming on or something for an Is It Just You? We do have a call coming in. The third last. Allim, if you like. Yeah, second last idgim of the year. Actually, do we have a caller coming on or something for an Is It Just You? We do have a call coming in. The third last. All right, let's go. Oh, so sorry. No, no, that's the rosé.

There are major tech issues here. Oh, God. Let's just hope this brattle is standing by. Here we go. Is it just me or? Are you feeling hopeful for 2023? Yes, actually. Yeah.

Is that really weird that I thought to myself the other day, oh, I haven't felt this in a while, optimism. Yes, fucking cheers to that. Cheers to that. Cheers to that. Oh, my God. Like, I just feel this year's been a lot. Mm-hmm. There's been a lot on, a lot happening.

This past month has been insane. Yeah. Like, my brain has been fucked. Work has been nuts. I've been doing a hundred different things and things that I didn't love and things that I did love that I wasn't giving enough time and energy. I use podcasts, which no fault of my own. It just, there was so much happening. Yeah.

But next year I've culled things that are bullshit, which isn't like me. You know, that isn't like you at all. You're such a people pleaser. I've said no more times in this last week than I have ever done in my life. Wow. I like this new attitude. The new and improved cheery. Not to Maccas.

And they said, do I want to try the caramel McFlurry? I said, fuck yes. Give it to me. Well, Jenna returns. She's in a straight jacket. Hi. Oh, wow. Sam, you forgot to put the gimp mask on her.

Is that what that's called? Well, then you can't hear her. Oh, that's the point, actually. We'll give it a whirl. See how it goes. Can we just try? Can we try? I don't think it's a gimp mask.

I think it is if you want it to be a gimp mask. What's a gimp mask? What am I thinking? I think a gimp mask has a red ball in it. Oh, God. Okay, it's not that. Oh, Sean's noddingimp mask. I think it is if you want it to be a gimp mask. What's a gimp mask? What am I thinking? I think a gimp mask has a red ball in it. Oh, God. Okay, it's not that. Sean's nodding his head. Yes. Sean's going, that's what it is. Good to know. That's interesting. Anyway, so yeah.

You're feeling hopeful for the new year. That's good. I just am. I've culled things out of my life that I don't want to have. I'm streamlining work, which is nice. And I just feel good. I've got a new brain doctor like everything's lining up

I think I'm probably manifesting this more than anything you know well that's helpful I don't recall being overly hopeful at the start of

at the end of last year slash the start of this year but no it's good I feel good too this year yeah you're in a good spot I'm in a good spot I mean Jen is in the best spot ever we can't hear her

or she can't touch anything oh my god so we will obviously have footage up on the socials that couple of minutes if you want to see in a good spot. I'm in a good spot. I mean, Jenna's in the best spot ever. We can't hear her or she can't touch anything. We will obviously have footage up on the socials that couple of minutes if you want to see what Jenna looks like in her straight jacket and mask thing. She actually looks institutionalised. Yeah. Oh God, Jenna. She looks like Hannibal Lecter. How does she sound with the mask on?

Hello? Oh my. I need to take a photo. Are you feeling hopeful for the future, Jenna? Yeah, I am. I feel like next year's going to be a good year. Fucking better be. Yeah. It's going to be your year.

Yeah, my year. Nothing's going to restrain you. Nothing. And I know you've got a lot tied up at the moment. Yeah, a lot. Life is not always straight. It's not. You'd know.

Yes. More than anyone. You'd know. Yes. More than anyone. Do you want to know something? You know that synesthesia thing where people associate colours with things? Yeah. We had that whole argument about what colour should your English book be? And I said green. Yes.

What did you say again? I think I said red. No. Yeah, bullshit. No, no, no. That's maths, obviously. I don't remember. I do the same thing with days of the week and years.

And like 2020 to 2022, There's no colour associated with them But for some reason 2023 is orange in my head That's got to be a good thing Oh let me actually What colour is 2023 in my head? I told you it's orange I won't hear anything to the contrary We have different heads

Oh my god Astro Tash was right What? It's orange in my head too Ah there you go Jenna what is in your head? Should we change our logo and make it orange? Should we do orange next year? Yeah, let's do orange.

Oh, my God. What does it feel like having your arms tied to you like that? For now, it feels fine. Is it more or less comfy than the coffin? Equal. Equal? Yeah. This is equal to being in a coffin?

Yeah. Wow. Wow, you've been through some Wow. The coffin was very comfortable. Do we want to do a maze that just made? Are we just going to piss it out? Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Is this working again?

I think it is. I swear it's not. Sorry, sorry, sorry. There are usually much more smooth sailing than this, Sean. Just so you know. Oh, Sean, we run a tight oiled. Tight oiled? Well oiled machine or a tight ship.

Tight oiled. I was thinking of you two. Oh, for God's sake. I was looking at my questions. I was looking at my questions for the Sean pit. All right, let's go. You're a tight ship. Tight oiled. I was thinking of you two. Oh, for God's sake. I was looking at my questions. I was looking at my questions for the Sean Pip. All right, let's go. You're a rich man. Let's go.

Second last hit of the year. Hit it, Bradley. Is it just me or? Do you kind of miss having a sick bay to go to? Fuck yes. Yeah, I do. It was the best. I actually probably spent a little bit too much time in sick bay at school because they figured me out. Oh, I do. It was the best. I actually probably spent a little bit too much time in sickbay at school

because they figured me out. Oh, gotcha. Yeah, it was when I moved to the new school and I was scared of a lot of people. Uh-huh. Because I went from Bogengate Public, which is 30 kids, and it was just so, there was no social hierarchy. In the whole school?

Yeah, in the whole school. And there was no social hierarchy. There was no bullying. It was all just very lovely in our own little bubble. Yeah, six of them were sheep too. Yeah, pretty much. But then when I went to the new school i was like kind of scared of the bully i was anxious so i just feigned sickness a lot and eventually they were like mitchell we fucking know why you're here but also they're kind of gorgeous yeah i love having a sick bay to go to you don't have that in the workplace no you don't can i just say there's something

about like everything all elements touch smell taste it smells in the same way that a hospital emergency room smells like they just domestos everything like it smells clean you get on that horrific bed that looks like you're in a asylum sorry to jenna to insult your home but you sit on there and then it goes like the like the plastic lining gets all rubbed on your skin and you stick to it. I remember that our sick bay in the new primary school I moved to, it didn't even have windows. So it was a little bit of asylum-y, you're right. Yes.

But then I had the gorgeous, tender, nurturing receptionist looking after me. Oh, yeah. We didn't have like a dedicated nurse. It was always the receptionist stuck looking after the sick kids. Do you remember who it was? Oh, fuck, it's Mitchell again. Oh. I think her name was Mrs. Tinlan. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Hated that school? Oh, fuck, it's Mitchell again. Oh. I think her name was Mrs Tinlan.

Oh, beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. Hated that school, though. I hope it fucking burns to the ground. Probably will. I hope Mrs Tinlan gets out okay. Yeah, yeah, no.

He's at high risk. I had Coral. I had her first name. Was she the receptionist? Yeah, her name was Coral. She wasn't a teacher, so we just called her Coral. My mum, for a brief period, was the receptionist. Actually, the student services officer.

At your school? The one that you go to at my high school. Yeah. She was, like, filling in for someone while they were away. And I remember hearing people bitch about her. They were like, oh, that new lady in student services office. And I was like, I'm going to lean in, listen carefully. She's really cool.

She's really nice. I wish she'd say it. And I was like, yes, that's my mum, bitch. I was so proud. Well, my mum was head of P&C and of course of course she was head of pnc oh my god and she'd just bring the drama home like i was just trying to study for hsie and make sure that my handwriting was within the two fucking lines and mom's like well mrs morrison won't approve the grant for the canteen i'm a kid i shouldn't i shouldn know all this. All the politics of your primary school. It's hell.

Oh, I miss the sick bay. There's one here at Kiss. What? Bullshit. Where? It's called the prayer room. Oh, it's the sick bay slash prayer room. Slash prayer room, yeah.

It's got a bed in it. It's also a breastfeeding room. I've never been. Mental health break room. Where is it? It's downstairs near where we did our photo shoot last year, like right opposite that. It's like a broom cupboard.

If anything, it would send you into a panic attack. Oh, I didn't realise. I used to sneak into that room to take phone calls and stuff. I didn't realise that was the prayer room. How fucking inappropriate. Prayer room, pregnancy room, whatever you need. Quickie room, you know. Oh, Sean's left.

Where'd he go? Hey, he works in politics. He's familiar with prayer room behaviour. Whoa! Whoa! You're listening to Is It Just Me? That's enough of these two. Now let's hear An Is It Just You?

All right, last time of the year. And just as a gift to me, you've made a live call. You know how I love those, haven't you? Mitch loves a live call. He begs for them. That's why Holly's here. Hi, Holly. Hi, guys.

Hello to Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Happy birthday. Is it your birthday, Mitch?'s why Holly's here. Hi, Holly. Hi, guys. Hello to Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Happy birthday. Is it your birthday, Mitch? No, it's not. No, it's not. No, thank you, though. I'll take it. Why do you think that? No, I had a dream and I had a dream about this cool and it was your birthday, my dream. Oh, that's cute. Oh, that's very sweet.

We are celebrating, so maybe you did pick up something because we got champagne. Jenna's in a straight jacket. Oh, there you go. Oh, is she? Yeah, I champagne. Jenna's in a straight jacket. Oh, there you go. Oh, is she? Yeah, I am. She's in a straight jacket. It was my birthday wish. Yeah.

Everyone's wish, really. All right, Holly. Where are you calling from, by the way? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in Brisbane. Oh, gorgeous. I do love Brisbane. I could see you living in Brisbane, you and Isabella and Sean living the high life on

the Story Bridge. On the Story Bridge. What else is there really, Holly? How would you feel about living in Brisbane, Sean, living the high life on the Story Bridge. On the Story Bridge. What else is there really, Holly? How would you feel about living in Brisbane, Sean? A polite decline. Thank you. Such a politician's response. I love that.

That's fantastic. All right, Holly, what's your usage issue? We'll let Bradley count you in, then hit us, okay? Yep. Perfect. Is it just me or...? Is it completely unnecessary at the end of an episode when they say to be continued?

So, I don't know, it can happen at the end of a season finale or, more importantly, it's like mid-season and they say to be continued. Like, of course it is. It's a TV series. That's a good point. Well, that's where you're wrong, Holly. Oh no! Because sometimes, you know how a lot of Law & Order SVU episodes

they're standalone. If you watch one episode, you don't need to have seen the prior one because it's just a new, fresh new storyline. But sometimes they do carry across two and so they need to let you know this is a part one or a part two. Isn't that just obvious?

No, it's not obvious. No, I will come to Holly's defense here for a sec. I don't think it's needed now, but, Holly, I do think, like 15 years ago when SpongeBob ended, you wanted to know if he and Patrick were fucking the next season. They never did. They never did. That's probably my point is more these days,

because I've watched it on TV series that are just mainly for like Netflix or binge or whatever and they still do it. What ones have you seen recently that still do that shit? Well, I thought, okay, this is possibly not recent. I don't know. It's a really, really terrible show on Disney Plus called Devious Maid. Right. I think it's produced by Eva Longoria. Jenna, can you Google?

Oh, wait, she's in a stretch. She's strapped. That was one. I know there's produced by Eva Longoria. Jenna, can you Google? Oh, wait, she's in a straight session. She's straight. That was one. I know there's many more. I have baby brain, so I'm just going to use that as my excuse for not having any that come to mind. I've never had a baby, but I lived with baby brain. Yeah, I lived with it prior, and so it's just ten times worse now.

What does baby brain actually mean? Is it similar to my COVID fog? Yeah, there you go. I just feel dumber by the day. Yes, exactly right. Like my sister just is getting over COVID and she's like,

oh, it's terrible. I'm like, mate, I've got baby brain and Holly brain. It's just a terrible combination. Have you had COVID? Yeah, I did. Yeah, I got it New Year's

last year. Oh my God. COVID fog and baby brain. Not a combination I recommend, Chook. Fucking hell. That's insane. Well, Holly, thank you for listening to the show.

When did you find us? Have you been listening since the start or were you going to season five and you're a listener? You know what? You guys actually saved me. I think because I've been following Mitch Coombs on, like, TikTok for a while. And I found you guys.

So I went through the floods in February this year. Oh, my God. So, yeah, still no lift through the floods in February this year. Oh, my God. So, yeah, still no lift or anything in my building. Lovely. Love that for me. Still? So I didn't have, yeah, still. Not until apparently late next year, so that'll be fun.

Fucking hell, right? Two dogs and a baby, yeah. But I didn't have power for six weeks, so I had to get through my life by using power banks to charge my phone. And so I listened to podcasts instead of watching, like, TV on my phone. Oh, I see. And I found you guys and I just binged it and you've made my life so much better. Oh, that's gorgeous.

Thanks, Holly. And you didn't get sick of it. It's a Christmas miracle. No, no. I even started relisting, like, again at one point. That's the baby brain. You forgot that you listened. That's actually what's going on. Oh, Holly, I even started re-listing, like, again at one point. That's the baby brain. You forgot that you listened. That's actually what's going on.

Oh, Holly, that means so much. I'm glad we could help in any way for that. Thank you so much, Holly. Thank you. Don't worry. Send her an extra special prize, won't you, Price? Yeah, send her something nice. When you have your hands back.

Yeah. I'll reach out. Yeah, it's quite off-putting. Although, if you wanted to saw through that cloth with your nails, you probably could. Yeah, I could. Cat nails, yeah. Come through. cloth with your nails, you probably could. Yeah, I could. Cat nails, yeah. Come through.

Cat nails, yeah, cat nails. All right, Holly, thanks for coming on. Send Price Keeper Jenna a DM. Yep. Enjoy Christmas. I will. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you too. Now keep the Is It Just Yous coming at Couple of Mitches over the holidays. I'm sure we'll have plenty to pick from come the new season. Yeah, keep them coming. That's where we'll find you at Couple of Mitches. So have you guys gotten any weird phone calls recently? Don't even. Yes, I did.

Sam, what about you? Oh, I've just realised what it is. Oh, yeah, he's on to me. Oh, shit. So you know I love a good prank call, right? Oh, wait a second. Can I take the mask off now? right? Oh, wait a second. Can I take the mask off now?

Yeah, it's had its fun. Actually, you can't take it off. Oh, I'll do it. I'll do it. Yeah, you better. So, yeah, I love a good prank call, but I'm also a bit of a coward, as you know. I don't like to make the prank calls myself.

So I've discovered a life-saving app for me. It's an app that will make prank calls on your behalf. You just put your friend's number in or whoever you want to call they'll do it all and then they'll just send the recording back to you and it's not at all convincing what you listen to these things and you go what idiot would believe this is real sorry sam and jenna but i was about to say yeah no mitch you're the only i have done it to all of you and you're the only one that said oh fuck i know what this is about yeah you figured it out it out. But on the start, I had you going. Your call was great. Really?

Yeah. And so how it works is it has a menu of different prank calls to choose from. Menu. Yeah. You put the number in. So it'll be things like, oh, you hit my car or why do you keep calling my girlfriend? Yes. Yes.

I'm here to deliver a sofa. I'm out the front. Fantastic. And it just has like one side of the phone call recorded. It's all automated. I don't know how it fucking works, but it's so fun because people really do fall for it. Oh, God, yeah. Oh, people would.

All right, let me just show you an example of like one side of the phone call. So this one was for I can smell weed in your apartment. Oh, great. Yeah, so let's just say I'm prank calling you. This is what you'd hear when you get the call. Hello? Oh, hi. Yes.

Look, I'm a neighbour of yours and I'm calling you since the other day there was a really strong smell of weed in the stairs and I believe it came from your apartment. Am I right? They leave a pause for the person to reply and then they send you the recording back. It's so good. I'm really sorry about this.

She's a great voice actress. You get the idea. You sound like Rebecca Gibney. Yeah. So the app's called, I don't know how to say it. It's spelled J-U-A-S app, one word, like J-U-A-S app or something. J-U-A-S. J-U-A-S app.

Do you reckon that's J-U-A-S? Yeah, that checks out. J-U-A-S app. J-U-A-S app. Yeah. J-U-A-S app. J-U-A-S app. Do you reckon that's J-U-A-S? Yeah, that checks out. J-U-A-S app. J-U-A-S app. J-U-A-S app. J-U-A-S, if you want to get amongst it. Something to keep you entertained over Christmas, I guess. Okay, alright. So yes, I have been messing with a few of you. Jenna, the prank call

I did to her with the app was sex noises coming from your apartment. Impossible. The Meritan service suite team would not appreciate that. Just so you know, I did this quite a while ago. So yeah, that was me, Jenna, in case you were wondering. Did you freak out? Yes.

You would. I would too. Well, you'll hear it. This is how it went. All right. Hello. Hi. Yes, we are calling from the resident association.

And the truth, this is very embarrassing, but they are stating that there is a lot of noise coming from your apartment is this true what who said that yes yes there is one neighbor that claimed they are a sexual noises what no look i'm sorry it is my duty to put this issue across you i am only communicating you what they tell me I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable But they say it happens at any hour, day or night I don't know, but could you please try closing the windows or putting a pillow on the mouse?

What are you talking about? I don't... Well, you must understand that kids are not used to hear this type of noises and at least I am asking as a favour. Could you please avoid screaming like a seal? What noises? Would it be possible? Okay, this is really unfair. She copes really well under pressure, our Jenna, doesn't she?

Oh, Jenna. You sound like you've just woken up from a sleep. Yeah. She would have been wondering for so long, what the fuck was that about? You've been eyeing off your neighbours like, which one of you people knocked? Yeah, I thought it was the one two doors down. They've moved out now because, yeah. God, they can hear you from two doors down, Jenna.

She goes, oh, it has to be them. I'm pretty vocal. You've got one of those vintage vibrators. Sam, I also fucked with Sam on the app. There was an option where some skank just calls and offers herself up on a platter, essentially. Oh, that's very Sam. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Sam is an eligible bachelor at the moment. I was so confused about this. Did he say yes? Well, the funny thing is that he wasn't confused. He was all for it. Of course. That's the problem. So this is how Sam's went.

Hello. Hello, Sam speaking. Hello. Hey, how are you? This is Lauren. You know who I am, right? Which Lauren? Look, we see each other every day when I go to have my coffee,

and I like you so much, so I got your number, since I'd really like to get to know you. The truth is that we stare at each other every day. You remember now, right? Yeah, actually, I do. I've never got a call like this, so I kind of lost it. Oh, I think that one day I'm going to sit down close to you, even though I feel embarrassed about it.

Oh, one small thing. You are single, right? Yeah, yeah, I am. What? Oh, man. thing. You are single, right? Yeah, yeah, I am. What? Oh, man. I knew it. My friend told me the exact opposite. You're such a tease.

Something was telling me I shouldn't trust you. Oh, so really? Okay. Okay. All right. No, stop with the cut. See, like that's the problem with the app is that it's not actually listening to what he says. It's all pre-recorded.

So when he goes, yeah, I am single, and then she flips out going, oh, I thought you were single. I was so confused. Sam, did you think it was real? Yeah, I thought it was real, but I was like, I have no idea who this bitch is. No, of course, I see you all the time now. She sounds like, I have no idea who you are, but odds are

you have been checking me. Yeah, naturally. You know what I love is that if you don't speak within the period of pause that they've given you, it just sounds like she's a bitch and talks over you. Yeah. She's not interested. Sounds like, well, I do get coffee. Well, you're single.

So, fucking hell, she's mean. Now, before I play the call I did to you, Churi. Yeah. Would you like to fuck with anyone in your life? I've been having fun with this. Oh. Do you want me to, like, do one on your mum or something? Well, what are the categories?

Because I don't want to upset the poor thing. Like I said, there's a whole menu. Can we read my car? No. There's why do you keep insulting me on Twitter? No, she wouldn't know how to open Twitter. The colonoscopy booking. No, that'd scare her.

She's got health anxiety. Alcoholics Anonymous. No. Your dog is too loud. Oh, yeah, that's very it. Hamish, my little dog, she's obsessed with. Oh, my God, okay. And that'll upset her too because she's defensive about the dog. Does she answer calls from random numbers? Yeah, yeah, that's very it. Hamish, my little dog, she's obsessed with. Oh, my God, okay. And that'll upset her too because she's defensive about the dog.

Does she answer calls from random numbers? Yeah, yeah, she would. Because that is obviously the risk with the app. Sometimes they send you the recording back and all it is is, your call could not be connected. This person is busy or whatever. And I'm like, damn it. Well, she's at work now.

Okay, pop her number in and hopefully she takes the call. I might do one on my mum as well, actually. It says joke scheduled. There you go. How about Tinder? Hold on. How is going on Tinder? Why don't we do that to Hayden?

Oh, no. I'm not doing that. Why? I don't want to drive a wedge between you. It's a good way to see if he's, you know. Oh, yeah, right. We'll put his number in. I don't care.

Yeah. Okay. Go for it. What is it? It says, how about Tinder? It says, directed at boys, we call your friend or your new acquaintance to ask him how he was doing on Tinder. Sure. Let's do it. What is it? It says, how about Tinder? It says, directed at boys, we call your friend or your new acquaintance to ask him how he was doing on Tinder. Sure, let's do it.

Okay. Nice fucking whale. If he goes, yeah, I'm doing great, I'll deck the bitch. I'm going to put my mum's number in as well. It'll have to be the home phone. I'll do the Alcoholics Anonymous one for her. Because I feel like now that they're empty nesters, they're really getting on it a lot.

They're always at the pub, getting a lift home in the courtesy bus. I'm not kidding. My joke calls. Okay. Did you do it? Well, they said they're running. Oh, that means that they're making the call now. Oh, my God.

It'll give me a notification when they come through. Okay, so should we run my one in the meantime? Yes. So this is the call I did to you. And you know how famously you've lost your license and you've been fucking skating on thin ice when it comes to your demerit points. Well, I've lost my license, yes, and I do not... Let me tell you that again.

I've lost my license and I do not endorse speeding. It actually wasn't really speeding. No, it's boring information. Whatever. But I am on a probationary license. So at one point I'm done. So this is why this call was very frightening. Yeah, so I made the call to you

and the one I chose in the menu was about a speeding ticket. Yeah. So I was like, this is fucking perfect. You'll think it's real. And I did have you going for a bit, didn't I? Yeah, for a small period, but I'm too intelligent. Have a listen. Hello?

Hello, this is Hugh Rush, and I'm calling from the legal advice department of your car insurance company since we were notified about a severe offence due to a speeding ticket on your car. I'd like to make sure. Didn't you receive the expiation notice? What the fuck's an expiation notice? Sorry, are you there? I'm not hearing you very well. Yeah, I'm on a walk.

Yes, yes, it's okay now, much better. I've got airpods in. Okay, maybe the expiation notice was returned for some reason, but let me explain it to you in detail. Right. This is a speeding ticket where the driver of your car was going at 95 kilometres per hour, but on a city road where the speed limit was only 50 k's an hour.

So the limit was exceeded by 45 kilometres per hour and this is about a 900 fine and seven demerit points do you know by any chance how many points you have left uh yes when was this can i get a date is there a number for the ticket please sorry yes this is important the picture taken by the speeding camera snapped a BMW M6 with license plate number TO186G. Do you actually speak to people like that on the phone? You're like, what the fuck is a...

Whatever it was. Yeah, it's an expedition notice. Yeah, what the fuck is an expedition notice? Nah, because I thought it was a scam. I thought it was a live call, but I thought it was a scam. And I'm rude to scammers. But you know what's funny? I knew it was a prank when he but I thought it was a scam. And I'm rude to scammers. But you know what's funny?

I knew it was a prank when he quoted me how many demerit points and how much that certain fine cost because I had that fine and that's not it. I'm like, been there, mate. Nope, that's wrong. All right, well, all of these prank calls that we've put on the app now are running, so we'll keep an eye out throughout the show as they come through.

Fantastic. Is it just me? You can follow the show. Okay. They come through. Fantastic. Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a little bitch. All right. Are we excited for what we're doing next here at the show? Mitchell, why are you wincing?

I don't know. It's a bit awkward. It's not awkward. I've been put on the spot. It's a natural part of life. Whenever anyone joins a new relationship, they go on an award-winning, multi-million dollar grossing podcast to talk about the ins and outs of their relationship. It's how it works.

I'm ready if you are, Sean. You ready, Sean? Yeah, we better. All right, Sam, bring him in, guys. Let's roll and it's time for the Sean Pits. Let's go for a dig in the Sean Pits. Welcome to the Sean Pits. How fancy was that?

Hello, Sean. Take a seat. Hi. Welcome, Sean. Did you just hear the fancy audio that he had made for you? I did. Isn't that fancy? It's fantastic, right?

That's an amazing effort. We've got a whole team that works behind the scenes. And we're excited. First of all, I just want to say we're excited to have you here. Oh, thanks so much for having me. So excited. I was a bit nervous. I still am.

Actually, I'm increasingly nervous now because every time I look at Jenna, I'm thinking, oh my goodness. That's everyone's natural reaction. Looking at Jenna is like looking into a solar eclipse. We don't recommend it. Now, the Sean pit, it's going to be easy. You've been in a sand pit, I'm sure. A sand pit?

Yeah. Yeah, see? Not for a hot minute, but yeah. He's just going to apparently dig for information about our private lives. Correct. But it's playful, so it should be not too hard-hitting, surely. No, and I work with Mitchell closer than anyone else works with Mitchell. I mean, this is his job.

This is our job, really, so we're co-workers. So I just want to make sure your intentions are right and you're not going to break his heart. He won't break your heart. You know, the best-case scenario at the end of this for me is that we work out that he's wrong for you, you know? Yeah. What do you mean?

Best case? I'm just... What? I'm joking. Are you winging this or have you got questions prepared? I've got questions prepared. Oh, okay, shit. Yeah, I've got questions prepared.

Don't worry. Are they all for him or am I allowed to answer? You can answer if you want, but it's the Sean pit. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Good luck. Thank you. Now we are in a sand pit.

We all ready, guys? Yeah! Fantastic. We're all ready! All right, let's jump in. Jenna, you can ask a question too. Okay. Oh, I need to go dig it.

Sorry, hold on. Hold on! Okay. God, it sounds like people's bones crunching. Is that meant to be a sand pit sound effect? It's just been raining, yeah. So the sand is all muddy. The sand is all muddy.

First of all, Sean, how are you enjoying the relationship with Mitchell so far? It's been beautiful. Really lovely. Yeah. Yeah, no, very good. See, it's awkward. It's not awkward. No, this isn't awkward at all.

I just want to make eye contact with you because I can see you guys. Yeah, you can look at me. You can look at me. Okay, cool. How many relationships have you been in the past uh this will be the first one that's actually lovely i've been in yeah i've had a boyfriend before was not a good experience so i just pretend that never happened i'm the same i've technically had a boyfriend before but i'm like doesn't count yeah it's awful

yeah it'll be a couple of weeks now how can you tell me the story of how you guys met because i've heard mitch's side but i'd love your angle of the story. Yeah, so we officially met on Hinge, but we almost crossed paths in January because I did one stand-up thing once. Yeah. And Mitchell happened to be in the audience for it. Oh, wow. That was when you were, like, starting and you were going to different clubs, right? Yeah.

Or you were going to different shows? I went to an open mic night with my friend and I was like, oh, I can't be bothered getting up there tonight. We're just going to watch, right? And he goes, yeah, yeah, we'll just go watch. I was like, sweet. And Sean't be bothered getting up there tonight. We're just going to watch, right? And he goes, yeah, yeah, we'll just go watch. I was like, sweet. And Sean was one of the people getting up for the open mic night. And I turned to my friend and I said, oh, he's cute.

I'm going to stalk him on Instagram. And I did. And then when we found each other on Hinge, I was like, fuck, he looks familiar. Didn't click for ages, though. He had to tell me, were you at that comedy night? And then I was like, oh, my God, it's you. I didn't realise. Yeah, it was a bit awkward on our first date when you did get up the Instagram

and you realised that you already followed me. And I had to be like, oh, I wonder how that happened. I absolutely remembered because you were my first blue tick follow and that was a big moment. Oh, yes, that's huge. That's a big thing. Because you followed me that night. I was like, oh, that's a blue tick.

Who's there? He can get people blue ticks really easily. So he's got content. He throws them around. Only the people really easily. So he's got content. He throws them around. Only the people he loves. So I don't know what I'm saying. Okay.

And what was your first impression? I mean, Mitch, was Sean's comedy good or what was the vibe like at the night? Well, you know how Oprah always says it. You don't remember what people say or do, but you remember how they make you feel. Yeah. All I remember is that I didn't cringe at Sean's comedy. Yes. But I did cringe at a lot of the others. Okay.

That's a great sign. I can't remember exactly what he said. Yeah. But I just remember he was one of the good ones. Yeah. Yeah. Mitch wouldn't fake a compliment. I think I know.

Yeah. We've hit a nugget, Jenna. We've hit a nugget of gold. I sense love in the room. Would you say that you two are in You mean in the pit In the pit Sorry in the pit Would you say that you two are in love

Well we said the L word Oh my god That's a recent development The kids are loving it I guess you said it first Who Me No way

Wow You thought it was going to be him didn't you Yes I did Sean tell me how that happened How did it happen Did it shock you No it was really lovely It was actually a you Yes I did Sean tell me how that happened How did it happen Did it shock you No it was really lovely It was actually a really really lovely moment

We were at a Christmas party event And I really did let a little bit loose as well So I don't know Did you get me a bit vulnerable first before Possibly It just kind of slipped out But I was like I meant it Even though I'm a little bit tipped to myself

I meant it And do you know what happened The best yeah He goes oh I'm going to cry And then did I did I was like can you know what happened? The best, yeah. He goes, oh, I'm going to cry. And then did. I did. I was like, can you pull yourself together, loser?

We're in public. Word for word said that to me. And just to be clear, it wasn't like loud, awful sobbing. It was just one dignified tear. That's the version I'm sticking to. Just one, just a little gentle. And then did you not say it back or did you say it back? Oh, no, immediately. Yeah, for sure. Sorry, did I not include that part of the story? No, back or did you say it back? No, immediately. Yeah, for sure.

Sorry, did I not include that part of the story? No, I don't think so. Yeah, no, he's still waiting for it. Do you want to have a dig, Jenna, or are you okay? Yeah, I'll go for a little dig. Okay, Jenna, you go for a dig. Yeah, go for it. You've got soft sand.

Yeah. A claw, she's good at digging. How is she digging in a straight bucket? Oh, no, she's digging like a cat in a litter box. No, I'm digging with my feet. Okay. Let's bury her in the sandpit. She won't be able to dig herself out.

Sean, what do you think of Isabella? Oh, I like Isabella. I wish she liked me a little bit more. I think she's really come around to you. Oh, good. Because we got off on a really good footing. She was quite interested when I first rocked up, and then she lost interest.

Yeah, no, when she first meets someone, I can tell if she likes him or not. And she was weirdly warm towards you when she first met you. That's a good sign. Yeah, she's definitely, she freaks out when people come over, but then she'll hear their voice and be like, oh, no, I like them. And she'll come back. And she doesn't hide from Sean anymore.

She was the same with me. She was terrified of me for months. I think she's the least. I actually think she might be. Just because I smell like mince chicken that she thinks I'm friendly, but I'm really not. So you came in a bit hot too when you met her. Oh, God, yeah.

I was screaming and yelling. I don't think I've ever come in cold in my life. All right, now you've met the families, right? Yeah, I haven't met Mark yet. Okay. Oh, my brother. Yep, your brother Mark. I very, very briefly met Nicole.

Yeah. And I've had a lovely evening meeting your parents as well. Oh, I've done all that. And family friend Sian as well, who's gorgeous. It was a lovely night. Jane and Ian, what was the meeting like? It was so lovely. I fucking love them.

They are gorgeous. They are so lovely. So just set the night aside to go out and have a nice dinner. They liked you as well. Oh, that's good. My mum already, before meeting him, she loved Sian because I told her That I went on It might have been

Our second or third date Around my birthday And he turned up With flowers And I was like On the date Yeah And I was like

Oh my god Some sort of decent gentleman I haven't met one of those before Yeah The fuck is this It was partially I think he was Giving me the flowers

Because he felt bad That my podcast co-host Forgot my birthday. Yeah. Jenna, we spoke to Jenna about that. I've got your back, guys. Don't worry. Thank you.

Thank you. We're very good. We have Mitchell's back too. No, he turned up with flowers and I was like, how gorgeous is that? And mum goes, oh, he got my boy flowers. He's a keeper. Oh. Yeah.

God, if you can shear a sheep, you're set for life. She'd love you. That's why she likes me. It was funny because that was actually the same date that I took our first, like, photo of us. It was at Centrepoint Tower. And I had to ask to retake it because, my God, did you look unhappy to be there.

That's how Mitchell. Centrepoint Tower did, like, a nice little pan from the window to that little table. And, my God, that was the original stank face. And now any time we're at an event, we'll feel Mitchell's displeasure face. I've just got a horrible bitch face. And that was the first time witnessing it going, Jesus Christ, I can't post that. You get used to it.

And then you ask him and he goes, no, I'm the happiest I've been in days. That doesn't make sense. That's very funny. Hayden and I have a similar story. We had to get a tourist to take our photo. And then I asked the guy to take our photo. I'm like, can you take our pic? He's like, our photo. And then I asked the guy to take our photo. I'm like, oh, can you take our pic? He's like, no worries.

And we kissed on the lips on our first photo. And then I went, thank you. He's my brother. He's in town. He's in town. He doesn't live here. After we kissed. It was really charming.

It's nothing about you. It was beautiful. No, sorry. I just thought, sorry, sorry. Now, what do you do for work? Are you happy to talk about work? Yeah. Yeah, probably won't go to heaps of detail about it.

But I love the job working in an electorate office in politics And occasionally get to go down to help them out in parliament Which I love Yeah, it's a really great job I'm very, very happy You look like you enjoy it Like on his Insta stories Yeah

It's very enjoyable Yeah It's quite different to my job, wouldn't you say? Well, that's my next question So let me just dig a bit more How do you feel about having a blue-ticked, you know Influencing public figure boyfriend? Yeah, it's lovely.

But also I think the big thing is as well, you know, with influencers there's that sense of being really inauthentic and contrived and Mitchell is just not that at all. He's not polite about it. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, you're very, very real about it and I love and adore that. It's the best thing. Was it your dad that kind of winced when you told him what I do?

He's like, ugh. No. Although dad did listen to the podcast for the first time and it was the one where you talk about the period, Pooh. Oh, no, it's tough. Yeah. What, did he think he listened to this show? He said he enjoyed it.

I bet he liked it. Yeah, he probably did. Not for him, this show, I don't think. Is it? Would you say that? I think it would be. Why would you say that? No, I don't know. Yeah it? Would you say that? I think it would be. Why would you say that? No, I don't know.

Yeah. Is he a young gay man? No. Or a young woman? We welcome all types. No, of course we do. Of course we do. I love that.

Yeah, no, he's been listening and my brother's been listening. Yeah. Straight man as well. There you go. Yeah. How dare you say we're not gay. No, no, no, no. Just that one person.

All right, Gina, do you have another question? Okay. Oh. Sorry. Those feet are long. It's my person. All right, Gina, do you have another question? Okay. Oh. Sorry. Those feet are long. It's my foot. Sorry. It's almost like a paddle.

Okay. When was your first kiss? That was... I think it was at your place. It was at my place. It was like the third... I know. I know it was the third date.

Yeah, there you go. Yeah. That's right. And I... Actually, no, I won't say that. Say it! I was going to say I felt bad because I had actually cancelled that third date because I was in a foul mood because that was the day that you forgot my birthday.

And I was like, no, I'm in no mood for a date tonight. Sorry. So I had to reschedule. I'll tell you what, I think the birthday forgetting fiasco actually really helped our relationship because I was able to swooping as the fucking hero that week. Oh my God. And it really just accelerated the entire thing. That's true.

What you're saying here is us forgetting the birthday was the real gift. Yes. All planned in the end. And that's a successful shot. Pete, what do you think, children? Have we done it? Are you seriously wrapping up now? Are you done?

No, you've got more questions. I was going to say. Successful. Oh, so you've got a hard hour, don't you? You've got to be out of here. You're booked and busy. Yeah, but that was boring. That's not boring.

As someone who adores you two, that is very insightful and interesting. Okay, what's the sex life with you two? Oh, God. How's the sex? I mean, you wanted more questions. Is it great? Yeah, it's good. It's good.

Good, not great. That's great. See, I know this is where the juicy detail is going to come up. With your father listening, apparently. When did you first consummate the relationship? What date? I think it was the third date as well. Oh, so a kiss?

Wait, so it was the forgetting of the birthday that got you guys to fuck? No. Oh, my God. I don't think that's correct. It wasn't the third one. It was a little bit after that. No, it was the third. No, it wasn't. Well, you're wrong. It wasn't. No, you It was a little bit after that. No, it was the third. No, it wasn't.

Yeah. No. Well, you're wrong. When was it? No, you weren't in that night. It's that first fight we're checking. Oh, God. Okay.

I can tell you. That's too much. The kids love that, though. These kids are very progressive. It's like a gay uncle or something. Okay, and you guys think, you know, you're happy with the relationship? Yeah. You're feeling like long-term stuff.

Yeah, without getting like really like sappy or anything. But I'm like really genuinely very, very happy. Like you are just so gorgeous and so kind and sweet and funny. And I'm really overjoyed. How lovely. And he was looking at me when he said that. I was actually. That's exactly right.

I was talking to you. Sorry. It's not all about you, Coombs. Sorry. Stop trying to ruin it. I forgot you were here. That is gorgeous. What was that?

The kids snorting. See, it's weird when you're fucking incorporating kids and we were just talking about rooting. They're not real. They're not here. I know. They don't exist. But even the theatre of the mind that you're trying to paint,

we're in a sandpit with children talking about gay fucks. Like, that's not appropriate. That's why Albo's in, you know? Progressive kids. Now, what do you think of me as a co-host in someone in Mitchell's life? Do you approve? Do you think I'm a good influence? I know you are both very, very important to Mitchell.

And he's quite defensive of the people that are around him, I find. So, yeah, I think you've got a real, it's a really beautiful friendship between the three of you all, I think it's, yeah. And I've only met you both briefly before this, but I hear a lot about you. Oh, that's so nice. All good.

I'm sure there's a lot of bad. I'm sure there is. Is there? No, I think the birthday thing was the only little hiccup. Yeah, yeah. Otherwise, it seems like a really beautiful... And he actually listens unlike Hayden, can you believe that? I know. I don't have a safe space.

Hayden listens to his own episode and that's it. Any questions from you, Sam? Only one. Are we still needing the Viagra or is it just raw chemistry? Good question, good question. That's a bad use of the word raw, come on. Oh, my God. I don't even know if I told Sean about that.

Oh. Oh, Sam. Because he's only a new listener, he hasn't gone back to the archives. There was a whole period where I was trying to counteract the side effects of antidepressants with Viagra and I would document every attempt and it didn't work. It didn't work. It didn't work. Yeah, we had a segment called Viagra Update.

Oh, really? Where Mitch would update us on the use of Viagra, but he took it too late. And then by the time everything was done, it was still. And it kicked in afterwards. There were two poor attempts, yes. But we've moved past that. He gets hard on his own now. Congratulations.

Not that it's in use. I just thought it was me. And now I realise there was Viagra involved. No, not now. No, no, use. I just thought it was me, and now I realise there was Viagra involved. No, not now. No, no. I'm with you. No, no, no. I felt validated.

Not now. No, God. I was talking in the past when I was on antidepressants. Okay. Now, finally, finally, this is going to be a big one. We hit gold. Anything you've noticed, Jim, any criticisms in Mitchell? Anything you've noticed that you thought, oh, God.

Here we go. That is something that I need to address either with a therapist. Any red flags? No, but we're both overthinkers. But that's really. Yeah, we can be. Yeah. No, I think that's just really well counteracted by really good communication.

Yeah, because I'll just say, oh, I'm overthinking something real quick and then it's done, you know. Yeah. So it's not a problem, I don't think. I feel like you have made me ruder because I've even started like sounding a bit more disgusting. That checks out. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Sometimes at work, I say some of your usual things. What are my Mitchellisms? Oh, Mitchellism. That's the word. Oh, you know, at work, I saw an email. I was like, WT, fuck. Yes.

Yes. Sensor every letter except the rude one. That's my favourite. Makes sense. F fuck S. Do you call people Dallin? Do you go, hi Dallin? No, I haven't done Dallin.

No. Yeah, no, you haven't started doing the pet names, the Chucky and all that? No, no, no. Yeah. And I've definitely infiltrated the vocab. I've noticed. Yeah. I've become more blunt.

Yeah. Yeah. I've become more severe. Yeah. Especially this time of the year as well. Well, I'm starting to want to wrap up and everyone else is amping up and I'm not prepared for that. So that's when the Mitchellism is coming really handy.

Yes. Because I need to express my disdain. Yes. In a way that I haven't been able to before. I think you've passed the Sean Pitt. Oh, good. Mitchell, are you happy? So no red flags from him.

You're happy with this? No. Have I noticed any red flags? No. You've made sure he's right? Yeah. I feel sold. What does the jury think?

Children? Wow. That's a unanimous vote. Yay. Now, listen, before we get out of here, it's the last episode of the year. We've got to do a bit of a cleanse of Janice Junk. Get rid of all the fucking shittage of ours. Like Junk.

Shall we delve right in? I'll help you. Yes. Let's take a peek at Jenna's junk, shall we? Yeah, so whenever Mitch and I are thinking of an is-it-just-me talking point to bring up on the show and we think, no, that's no good. Yes. Chuck it in Jenna's junk and then it just, you know, resurfaces one day.

Why the fuck not? Yeah. And so this is all the terrible ideas we've had and decided not to run on the show, but we're running them here, aren't we? And Sean, you happy to stick around? Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.

No worries. All right. Well, Jenna, hit us. Okay. Go for it. Let me head in. No worries. How are you doing?

Are you going to help Sean? Because Jenna has no hands. It's one of those bins that has like the pedal on the bottom. Oh, yeah. So you can open the junk. Yes, yes, yes. I can do it. All right.

And it's pulled. Is that it? I've got that one. Okay. Here we go. Wow. Is it just me or is the Mona Lisa not even good? Yeah, I'll put that in.

Yeah, I agree with you. She needs a shower. Look at her. She also needs to decide if she's happy or sad. Pick a fucking line. I remember saying, I don't get that whole thing where her eyes follow you wherever you go. I was like, I don't see it. And then one day someone pointed out to me and goes, no, no.

Instead of you walking side to side, just hold the Google image in front of you and tilt your phone. That freaked me out. Her eyes do follow you. I'm going to have to Google that. I haven't seen that either. Yeah, no matter what way the Mona Lisa is facing you, her eyes are looking at you. Are you serious? Yeah.

That's her whole selling point, isn't it? So I've got it up here. I'll do it to you as well, Sean. So you hold it, and then what do you do? Just, like, tilt the phone like this. Oh, shit, you're right. Yes, yes, yes. The eyes are looking at you no matter what side of your body she's on.

It's weird. So just look her in the eyes. Oh, that's spooky. Oh, yeah, okay. Isn't she freaky? But also, fail. Look at her. Well, Jenna, you actually bunked with Mona for three months.

Yeah. Interesting. I couldn't stand her. In a past life. That was before she was Lisa. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, she had to hyphenate. Well Jenna you actually bunked with Mona For three months Interesting I couldn't stand her In a past life That was before she was Lisa Yeah Yeah yeah she had to hyphenate Yeah

Mona Giovanna Oh yeah that was her name was it Interesting Right what else is in the junk Jump in Go for it Is it just me Or are you waiting for

Aliens Are you waiting for aliens? Are you waiting for aliens? Yeah. I definitely didn't write that. That's mine. Where are they? At this point, we should have had them. Well, maybe they're not real.

No, they are 100% real. Sean, what do you think about aliens? Yeah, I think it should have happened by now. Thank you. And it probably has. Yes, and Sean's in politics. Sean would know the files that exist. Oh, that's true.

Sean would have access. At the local electorate office. Yeah, we've got all that. Sure. There's missing people. I firmly believe aliens exist, and where the fuck are they? Show themselves. Show up.

Well, what about all the UFO spottings and stuff from Unsolved Mysteries? I love Unsolved Mysteries. I think the extreme majority would be bullshit, but I'm just not convinced that everyone wouldn't be. Also, how naive do you think that we're the only people? Of course humans would think that. We're the only people that exist. We are the only people that exist.

Aliens are their own thing, aren't they? If human beings are the peak of the universe, are you serious? That's a good point. That can't be true. Look at me. If this is the peak of the universe, then nothing matters. Would you fuck an alien? Depends.

Yeah, probably. Sean, would you? Doesn't depend on much. Well, the Matt Smith version of Doctor Who, maybe, yeah. Oh, yes. He was sexy. Is Doctor Who based on aliens? Oh, my God.

I don't know. Oh, that is the red flag. That's it. That's the first red flag and the first fight. I didn't know that Doctor Who was an alien. You've got 59 years worth of Doctor Who to catch up on, so we'll start that. But if he's an alien, why would I care?

I thought he was just a person with a job as a doctor. Is he a fucking alien? You thought Doctor Who was a GP. I've never seen it in my life. I don't care. Oh, no. That's like how this morning I thought Lizzo's surname was Lizzo Beating. I said it on air.

No. Her Insta handle is Lizzo Beating. Oh, my God. I've interviewed her nine times and I'll go, Lizzo Beating! I seriously thought that was her name. I say it on radio nationally every night. Are you sure it's not? Yes, I'm positive. We fact-checked it.

Her name's like Lizzo Marie Saint-Tropez or some bullshit. Wow. It's real. Oh, there you go. You're not alone. I thought it was that too. It's a self-deprecating gag. What else have we got, Jenna?

Yeah, Jenna. I'm heading in. I bet you weren't mentally prepared to see Jenna's junk today. Shocking, isn't it? No, it's good today. It's fucking huge. It fits a lot. It does, but it's full.

Is it just me? Just how she likes it. She's proud of it. Or are bath bombs shit? Yeah, no, that was mine. Yeah, I think I agree. I agree. And I love a bath and everyone knows that about me,

so I get a lot of bath bombs. And then I just, when I was moving out of my old place, I just said to someone who was helping me move, it was Oscar, my friend. I was like, do you want these? And he goes, yeah, I'd love them because they just don't do much for me. Yeah. Now it always ends up looking like you've shat yourself.

Like you've squirted a little bit of poo out. Oh, yuck. Yeah. It goes a weird color. I don't get it. And the fragrance isn't that strong. I'd rather just pop a gorgeous candle in the bathroom. Can I say, bring back those little animal gels.

Remember they were squishy little animals? They were dinosaurs and everything like that. And you'd twist the tail off and squirt the juice out, and then the actual packet itself would disintegrate. Can I ruin something for you? Oh, no. Another red flag incoming. Oh, God.

Did you get me bath bombs for Christmas? I got you really special ones. Oh, no. Red flag. What's special about them? They're the ones that were beautifully wrapped that I was telling you about. You're like, give me a clue. I was like, they're beautifully wrapped and they weigh a kilo.

This literally happened. A kilo? This conversation happened about two hours ago. Yeah. I was on the phone and he goes, one of your presents turned up. I was like, give me a clue. Fuck. But it's okay.

I'll replace it with, I'll give that to somebody else and I'll replace it because there's a few things coming for you. So that was, that was, yeah. Do you guys do baby talk to each other? No. No. That's gross. Yeah, that does. What do you mean baby talk though?

Like, oh, hi baby, how was your day? No, it's nice to talk to my cat. Yeah. Yeah, you do that too. Yeah, you'll call me up. You're like, yeah, what? Hi. Hi.

Romantic's well and truly alive, isn't it? My God. Oh, she's jumping. Oh my God, I feel bad about the bath. I'm sorry. No, that's all right. Is it just me or should we all banish belts? No, that's me.

My belt broke the other day, which was so good for the ego. It was just like buckling under my weight. Because I didn't have a spare and I needed something to hold my pants up, I started putting shoelaces around my belt buckle. Oh, that's fashion. Wow, that's good. And then I got these gorgeous silver shoelaces. Now I'm embracing it. I'm getting all these nice different shoelaces around my belt buckle. Oh, that's fashion. Wow, that's good. And then I got these gorgeous silver shoelaces. Now I'm embracing it.

I'm getting all these nice different shoelaces instead of belt. Well, that's fashion. I quite like that. Is it? That's really cool. No, that's like a skater trend that's like in, very in to tie your shoelace around your waistband. Balenciaga are doing it.

I really thought I invented that. Among other things. Yes, I was going to say. The children aren't cheering for that. I thought I invented that. I literally, I was looking around going, how the fuck do I hold my pants up? I'll just have to use this shoelace. And I thought I was going to say. The children aren't cheering for that. I thought I invented that. I literally, I was looking around going, how the fuck do I hold my pants up? I'll just have to use this shoelace.

And I thought I was so genius. Are you telling me that's already a thing? It is a thing. Skaters do it all the time. It's all right. It's still cool. So I'm not starting a new trend. I'm jumping on one that exists.

No, you're not. Can I will say? Can I say though, bring back thin belts. Remember thin belts? Yeah, they suck though. They snap easily. I think it's a women's thing. It was like just a really thin belt.

Bring them back. Like a thin crushed pizza. But now belts are like thick. Thick. Belt buckles I hate, especially having a tummy. They like dig into you. Anyone else have that problem? Well, I'm saying banish the belts altogether.

You won't have that problem with my shoelace method. It's a nightmare in security because I'm always panicked and frazzled trying to put it back on again. There's people queuing up. Boxes going everywhere. Oh, God, I hate that. That's the worst part about having a belt. That's true. I agree. I won't have that with my shoelaces. up, boxes going everywhere. Yes, oh, God, I hate that. That's the worst part about having shoes. That's true. I agree.

I won't have that with my shoelaces. No, you won't. But some of them always, they always pick and choose. Like, nah, belt on, you're all right, mate. Or sometimes I'll go through, like, do you want my rings off? Like, nah, keep it on. And then you get to the end, they're like, why are your rings on, mate?

Back through. The messaging isn't clear here at all. All right, I'm on this belt. Okay, I'm in, I'm getting in. Is it just me or is Christmas with the Cranks the most superior Christmas movie? How many times do you have to bring this one up? Yeah, you've been there. Well, that's actually a great point, Sean.

I haven't seen it. Oh, my God. But I'm feeling Love Actually would be the peak, though. It has to be the top. No, it's better. No. Does everyone disagree with Love Actually being a good Christmas movie? Sean, this is far too sentimental for this room

I'm going to put it out there I've never seen It's been a long time since I've seen Love Actually Yeah, me too Christmas with the Cranks is great It's got Jamie Lee Curtis You've given us this spiel before I don't need to sell it

I wasn't doing a good job either I thought we cleaned out the junk, Jennifer I know, but he entered more of it I put it in every Christmas. Go watch that movie if you're not convinced. You'll laugh your ass off. And this is a sponsored post-Christmas. Now streaming only on Binge.

Okay, I'm going. Okay. Is it just me or are boiled eggs in there? Come back in. No, that's me. Really? I've had about three a day. When did you start? On breakfast. I'm doing breakfast radio at the moment. So I've had them about three a day. When did you start?

On breakfast. I'm doing breakfast radio at the moment. So you've been doing it for a week? Yes, because it's so easy. Yeah, you'll get over it real quick, trust me. Oh, really? Did you have a boil? But I think everyone has a boiled egg, period.

Yeah, I had my era. Yes. And I thought it was the best thing at the time, but I got over it so quickly. Especially getting up early. It's when I was doing breakfast radio too. Because it's such an easy thing. You pop on a couple of eggs, you peel them, you pop it in with salt and pepper. Oh, it's delicious.

Good protein. But then they start to taste real rank when it's all you eat. Yeah. Have you had a boiled egg period, Sean? Well, when I was a kid, I used to only like the yolks of eggs. So I'd have dinner, they'd put an egg in front of me and I'd just eat the yolk out of it. Just leave the rest of the egg. Yeah, fair.

It was the opposite. I would only eat the egg white. Oh, really? Yeah. How do you do that? That sounds tricky. Well, it was mostly fried eggs. So, like, you just fry it and then, like, you'd separate the yolk out.

I'm in my scrambled eggs era, and I will say it's had more longevity than the boiled egg era. I agree. I'm not sick of them. No, props to the eggs. How do you cook your scramble? What do you do? Just fucking scramble them.

Yeah, and it'd be like you beat them in a bowl. I microwave a bowl of a little bit of butter. Yeah. And then whisk it all in with a little bit of cream. Yeah. And then like- Cream? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, you must hate my scrambled eggs that I make. No, they're lovely. Because I don't do any of that shit. Oh, no. I put them in the pan. Yeah, me too. What's the-

Who cooks and who's the clean? I mean, not to, you know, push stereotypes, but is there someone that predominantly cooks? You've cooked more than me. Yeah, it really depends who's house we're at. Yeah. Because I like to do all the doting when he's at my place. Yeah.

But then I have brought ingredients to your place and done the cooking as well. Yeah. Probably me more so. Fair, fair. He'll chop one onion and be like, oh, thank God I was here. John, that doesn't count. No more junk? I have a lot, but I'm done.

Okay, she's done. She's full. I'm over it. I'm already running late. Fucking hell. You've got to go. Is that the end of the show? Yes, it is actually.

Wait, did we get any callbacks from our mums? Shit, hold on. I haven't looked. I forgot about that. Let me look. My mums has come through. Oh my God. Excellent.

All right. I hope she answered. Just airdrop it to me and I can play it through the system. So with your mum's one, it says not responded or failed. So she dodged the call. She dodged the call, okay. But Hayden's has come through as well. Oh, my God.

Let's see if he actually answered, though. That's the thing. Ready? So this one was about Tinder, right? Yeah. Okay. Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hi. Hello. It's Maria., right? Yeah. Okay. Hello? Hello? Hi. Hello. It's Maria. How are you? This is so embarrassing. You gave me your phone number on Tinder, and I've just decided to be brave and give you a buzz.

Hung up. Oh, he loves me. That's lovely. Yeah, that's love. We should have checked. It was a woman calling. Of course he wasn't. That's lovely. Yeah, that's love. We should have checked. It was a woman calling. Of course he wasn't going to believe it. And then we've got the one that I did to my mum about Alcoholics Anonymous.

Oh, my God. Yeah, let's see. She might not have been home. Who knows? Hello? Hi, it's Dr. Stephens. I'm calling from Alcoholics Anonymous. So I'm calling to set up the appointment with a psychologist

so we can get you into that group. When's better for you, in the morning or the afternoon? Dr. Stephens? Who are we actually after? Look, it's usually a family member or a friend who makes contact with us in order to help you. So in this case, didn't they tell you anything about this? No, they didn't.

Well, we were sent a picture of you at a party where you seemed a bit intoxicated. Surely you need our assistance. Well, I could probably do with some, but who told you? Denying problems is not the best way to face them, right? She admitted it. I guess not, but I just don't know who would have told you. Oh, she admitted it. I guess not, but I just don't know who would have told you. Oh, gosh.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I humbly apologise. Maybe I dialed the wrong number. Or is somebody playing a joke on you? Oh, God.

She loves it. What is that? You're scaring me. That's not good. I do have a drinking problem. That's the best. God, that is such a cringe way to end it, isn't it? Yeah.

I don't think I've ever listened that long into a call before someone hangs up. They must at the end reveal it's a joke. That's absolutely fantastic stuff. That's got to be the best one. Oh, for sure. Definitely. By the way, Sean was with me when I was making all these calls and I was like, damn it, I should have done one on him.

Why did I let him in on it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck, that was great. He would have been so polite. All right, a good note to end the season on, everyone. That's us. Public Canal. Sam, Sean, Jenna, Mitch.

And Mitch. And Mitch. We're all here. The family. Signing off for 2022. It's been gorgeous. It's been a fucking weird year, but we're feeling good about the new year, apparently. Yeah, we're feeling hopeful.

We're manifesting it. Even if we don't really feel it, we're just putting that out into the world. Yeah, we're manifesting it for ourselves and you. Jenna, how are you feeling in the straight jacket? You haven't tapped out. No, it's fine. Is it actually having any therapeutic benefit perhaps? It could be actually.

Maybe it's working. It's like a weighted blanket type of thing. Yeah. Well, listen, you can keep up to it. It's a couple of weeks break. We're back in the new year. So after Christmas, have a good Chrissy, safe Christmas. We're going to miss doing the podcast, of course,

but it'll be nice to have a break. And then, yeah, we'll be back in the new year. Looking forward to it, you. We love you. Talk to you soon. Thank you for listening. See you in Season 5, everyone. Bye-bye.

Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief.

And I'm going, but Mitch, you're doing something within the show. Yep. Hayden roped me into doing something on stage as part of the event, and then you were fucking late to this recording. I was. So it's on you. He can blame you later when I'm late for rehearsal. I'm so sorry.

I do apologise. Hi, Sammy. What mic is that? I'll put you on. Oh, hang on. It's mic five. Okay. Yeah, come on in.

Chill. You better. Now, what did you think, Sean? Yeah, come on in. She'll be better. Now, what did you think, Sean? Did you hear Astro Tash last week admit that she believes Mitch and I are actually soulmates? Yes, right. Yes, yeah, I did hear that.

Now, what did you think? Oh, wildly jealous. Yes, yes, yes. Naturally. I became immediately unhinged. Enraged, yes. Is the voodoo door working is what I'm trying to work out. It has been quite unwell, yes. So you've been stabbing the brain part trying to work out It's been quite a while, yes

So you've been stabbing the brain part of the bowl And it's been working Oh shit, that's true No, but it's a, it was more like a workers or a friendship soulmate So there's no romantic, we've never had sex, just so you know I don't say God, no Well, you want the rumour to be out there as a possibility I don't want, yeah

I'm just quashing it Yeah, quash,. Yeah. Quash. Write it down. Quash is great. Yeah. Gladys hears that a lot, didn't she? Oh, bless Gladys. I was on a plane with Bob Catter and he checked he's a Cobra.

I was having a chat with Bob Catter at the Christmas party do thing at Parliament House for what they thought was going to be the last week of the year. You know, you obviously know the famous proclivities. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah the famous Proclivities segue. Every story is that. That is not unusual for him, apparently. Oh, really? Yeah.

Just to flip out almost and completely change topic and temperament. It's just the non sequiturs. They're just so drastic. Well, he went from gay marriage to crocodiles eating humans. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. He was actually kind of surprisingly quite lovely to chat to. I just didn't really understand what the fuck was going on for most of the conversation.

But I was there for the ride. Now, Sam, what are you doing for the break? Are you going away? Yeah, going to see the family, have a little break. I'm there for a week before I break. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What are you doing for the holidays, Mitch?

We haven't actually discussed where we're going. It's my first ever Christmas not going home for Christmas Day, actually. Are you going to be with Sean's family? I'll be with the Morrins. Oh, that's such a big moment. Did that piss off your family? No. But, yeah, and then he's going to come to Bougainvillea eventually.

I think the 27th or something. So he'll get to come to. Late 26th or 27th yeah so he's gonna get to experience bogengate can you fucking believe oh my god you're gonna beat me to it i've never been to bogengate oh really no never i've got a flannel ready to go i've got the boots so are you going on holidays or no no no i wouldn't mind going on fucking holiday soon it's been ages since i've been on a proper one. Yeah. Now, what ever happened to our big summer holiday going to Bougainvillea?

Oh, well, that was locked in. Season three. Yeah. But then when it came time to actually doing it, Mitch was like, oh, Hayden, I have tickets to some shit. So he just forgot. He double booked. No, I did double book.

I don't think we ever officially locked it in. In everyone else's mind, it was official, except yours. So we tried. It was pretty official. Because it was, Jenna was going to be. Oh, as if you would have ever come, Jenna. No, Jenna was going to be in Dubbo. So it would have been easy.

Oh, you were in Dubbo. Yes, it was 2020, the end of 2020. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Is that when you got the Dubbo dust? Is that that trip? No. Oh my God.

When I was packing my old place and moving, Sean goes, what the fuck is this? The Dubbo dust. I was like, yeah, it's a vial of dirt. It's a gift from Jenna. It truly is just dirt. From Dubbo. That's great. What are you doing, Jenna?

Are you going away? No. Dubbo? For Christmas? Possibly, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Are you just wanting us to ask you if you've got a big lavish holiday

happening? No, no. But, I mean, manners would say that's the nicest thing to do. No, truly nothing, no. We wanted to do a holiday, but we're fucking exhausted. We're so tired. Yeah. Hayden and I are so exhausted.

I'm the sort of person that needs a holiday from the holiday. Yes. After the holiday, to recover from the holiday, which was meant to be recovery. Yeah. Hayden wanted to go to LA. I'm like, oh, my God. I don't want to.

That's such a big trip. It's such a big flight. It's also not a good place to go. No. It's rank. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, we know. You've been out. Recently, rank. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, we know. You've been in and out.

Recently, no. I've just been out. I'm going, though, for the first time to South Australia in early Jan. And I've never been in my whole life. We loved it. I was there for the first time a few weeks ago. My brother moved down. And it was just performing.

So, yeah, it was a good weekend down. Is it gorgeous? It's gorgeous. I never used the word quaint so much in my life. It's really very sweet. We'd probably sooner go there than Brisbane. Apparently, gorgeous? It's gorgeous. I've never used the word quaint so much in my life. It's really very sweet. We'd probably sooner go there than Brisbane. Apparently he's adverse to Brisbane. I felt terrible.

I only said two words, like politely decline or something, but I've never been. Oh, you haven't been. I just quite like Sydney. Yeah. You're not missing much. No, I like it. I heard that bridge is lovely, though. The bridge.

That's good. Just the flooding is all you have to worry about. Not ideal. It is cute, though. I do like Brisbane. Thane. I like the Gold Coast, actually. I could live on the Gold Coast. Oh, Gold Coast is fun. Fowl is all you have to worry about. Not ideal. It is cute, though. I do like Brisbane. Thane. I like the Gold Coast, actually. I could live on the Gold Coast.

Oh, Gold Coast is fun. Fowl. It's fowl fun. I love it. How dare you? I'm from the Shire, so it's in my DNA to be fowl, you know? Do you know what I've noticed, though? There's such a difference between people that live in North and South Sydney.

People like Sean in Northern Beaches, they're quite happy to venture out, and they don't complain about the commute from the Northern Beaches to the but people in the shire oh my god it's like they think they live on another island they're like oh i can't come i live in the shire it's too far that is not true and i'm like you have a train the northern beaches are the most biggest complainers i've ever heard in my life i've never heard anyone from the beaches complain about having to commute on the bloody beam that's because i don't talk to people like you they only talk to people who drive mercedes they don't talk to people like you. They only talk to people who drive Mercedes. They don't talk to people like me either. No, no, but you're the anomaly. You're a lovely

Northern Beaches. Do you guys go to the Northern Beaches much at all? I don't want to nosebleed. Oh my god, it's actually not far at all, to be honest. It's very easy for you. I was in Avalon a couple of weeks ago. Oh, were you? Oh, loved it. Avalon is a bit... It's always like,

you know how the Northern Beaches has that snooty reputation? Avalon is what we consider the pinnacle of that. Yeah. Oh, they're the oven cells. But that's not entirely true. It's just this generalisation stereotype that's just existed. It's always become the Northern Beaches inside joke. But I promise I wasn't coming to plug anything,

but if you want to come to an event we're doing on the Northern Beaches in January, we are launching a gay pride group. Oh, I love that. So if you'd like to be there, yeah. What's it called? Plug It. You may as well. You got halfway. Plug It. So we're launching a not-for-profit community organisation

it's called Fusion Pride. Yeah. So we're launching it ahead of World Pride in January. It's a launch party and then, yeah, we'll just exist on the Northern Beaches because as you know, it used to be represented by Tony Abbott and Voman Bishop and people who were not that inclined to help

build that part of the community. Yeah, so changing that now and forming a group to make sure that there's social connection and advocacy and just making the Northern Beaches a bit gayer. Yeah, I love that. At Fusion Pride on Instagram,

if you could all go follow right now. Thank you. I'm going to watch you. I'm going to watch you. Jenna. Oh, sorry. I would, but... The straight jacket, I get it.

Yeah. Have we covered what everyone's doing for Christmas? Yeah, we have. Yeah, we're doing the cheery and Hayden hybrid thing. Yeah, we do Hayden's big Filipino family Christmas Eve.

Oh, cool. Oh, that's so good. They have four tables. They fill them with banana leaf and they cook all this amazing food and they just put it on the table on the banana leaf and you go up and get one of the banana leaves and use it as your plate and you just eat all this traditional Filipino food. It's amazing.

Then we go to my mum's house and she's like, I burned the ham! I'm like, it's boiled. How do you burn it? And she's shocking me. I also like the big Filipino Christmas Eve sounds like a terrible holiday special. Or a really bad porn. I'll follow back.

Fusion Pride are already following me. They must be on the local big deals. Was that you that did that? No, I've got my phone on airplane mode. Oh, right. I was like, oh, they followed back so quickly. So you didn't follow them back when they followed you, you asshole. I didn't see it.

It was a sea of follows. He's not an ally they followed you, you asshole. I didn't see it. It was just see you follow. He's not an ally. I'm not an ally. I think you'll find. All right. Well, what are you doing New Year's? Is anyone doing any plans for New Year's? We'll be in Bogengate.

Well, yeah, we'll either be in Bogengate or if I get sick of it, I'll come back to Sydney. Oh, okay. I'll just take Mitchell's lead. Follow his lead, rather. We always have the kiss party to fall back. I don't want to go, but it's free drinks, and it's like we get the VIP. We can just go.

Well, thank you so much. Me and Petho are hosting that this year. Oh, really? Oh, cool. So feel free to come down or not, apparently. Or if whatever you're doing in Sydney, just listen to Kiss, you'll hear Sam, I guess. Yeah.

That doesn't sound promising. I need a plus one too, please. I said I wouldn't host, so I'm sorry, Sam.

Yeah, I know. I was bummed about that. Sorry. Oh, we would have had fun. I know. I thought I was going to be away. Maybe I should just say yes and then we could do it together and then invite all our friends. Well, listen, if we don't have anything on,
