This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a good call. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Would you rather sit on a cake and eat a dick or sit on a dick and eat a cake? Sit on a dick and eat a cake, absolutely.

If you sit on a cake, you ruin it. Do you think I'd ever waste a cake by sitting on it? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Oh, hello you. Hello you. Good call. I feel a bit bad that we had a fat joke that you made at your own expense in that show opener there because your other co-host, good old Britt Hockley, love her.

Yep, from iPhone Cart. She was just leaving, going from one show to the other for you. Yeah. She was just leaving the pickup and you made a fat joke. And she goes, oh, don't, Mitch, don't make those sorts of jokes at your expense. And I'm sitting here going, oh, I think they're hilarious when he makes fat jokes. I think it's great. Two very different types of co-hosts.

Well, I notice it because I go to make self-deprecating jokes all the time. It's kind of my thing. And the girls, Britt and Laura, who I do the pickup with, hate it. But you love it. You thrive with it. And I love them too. It's not that I love it. Like, as long as they're not stemming from a place of actual insecurity,

which I don't think they are in your case. I don't think they are. No, no. I find them funny, to be honest. You're just like, oh, there's gear in this. Yeah, well, the joke was very funny because Brit and I, this weekend, are heading to the Gold Coast. I haven't even told you about this.

Oh, I didn't know that. No, we're shooting a pilot for a show that we're. Since when? Well, Brit is good friends with Rebel Wilson. It's a very, very convoluted story. I studied acting and Britt's like, oh, I'm writing this series. And I was like, oh, you know, I studied acting. And she's like, oh my God, I'll cast you.

So I auditioned. Oh, wow. And then we co-wrote the full series. She only had one episode. You co-wrote it? Yeah, we wrote from episode one to episode six, the mini episodes. Jesus Christ. I had no idea any of this was happening.

And then we're the pilots being picked up by a production company, so we're shooting it on the Gold Coast over the four days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Oh, right, because you mentioned to me, oh, I'm off to Queensland for a couple of days, we'll have to move our recording. I didn't know it was for that. I know it is.

Wow. Yeah, so we have rehearsals and it's, God, it's a lot. Anyway, so that's me this weekend. Yeah, wow. I'm on the GC. It's meant to be raining all weekend. Great Gold Coast weather. All those years

In and out of LA They've finally come in handy Just when you thought You'd let your acting skills Go to waste Didn't really think I'd be shooting in Brisbane though I really did think

That potentially I'd be in Bentley Hills Is it Gold Coast or Brisbane? No we're staying in the Gold Coast And we're commuting To the Fortitude Valley Oh wow Why the fuck

Didn't you just stay in Brisbane? Well there's a sound stage In the Fortitude Valley I could call I don't know Brittany organised it you just stay in Brisbane? Well, there's a soundstage in the Fortitude Valley. Good call. I don't know. Brittany organised it, so I'm just going along with it. You know me. I like to follow.

If someone organises it, I'll go. Wait, is Fortitude Valley its own town? I think so. Or is that the centre of Brisbane City, where all the gay clubs are? Is that what it is? I don't know. That's what I thought Fortitude Valley was. The Valley.

I was on Fortitude Valley. Yeah, Fortitude Valley is packed with nightlife, offering everything from dive bars. That's where all the gay bars are. Oh, fantastic. So why the fuck don't you just stay in Brisbane? I don't know. I really don dive bars. That's where all the gay bars are. Oh, fantastic. So why the fuck don't you just stay in Brisbane? I don't know. Anyway, it's not up to me. It's none of my business.

I can't wait for that. And then the plan is once we get that pilot, we sell it to streaming platforms and all that stuff. Yeah, right. Okay. But, you know, I didn't want to talk about it because 90% of the time these things don't get picked up. Oh, well, not with that attitude. No, that's true. It's going to get picked up.

Yeah, good for you. Unlike me, very hard to be picked up. There we go again. The fat joke. Speaking of Aussie shows, you and I have both been obsessed with that Class of 07 on Amazon Prime. Oh, you did like it? You didn't tell me what you thought. I just told you you have to watch it because I loved it.

You told me to watch it and I was like, oh, I don't know. Amazon Prime isn't my go-to. Put it on. And then I got like four episodes in in the first couple of hours. I was hooked. Yes. There's a brand new show, like you said, called Class of 07. And you might notice our third wheel price keeper, Jenna, is not here today. Fear not. I've got a guest third wheel coming in. I just happened to be mates with one of the lead cast members from Class of 07, Emma Horne. She plays Renee in the show.

I love her TikToks though, aside from her acting work. Emma Horne's great online. I don't know if I should say this when she's here, but I didn't know she was an actress. Oh, really? Yeah. I've known her for years. Some friend I am. Oh, yeah, and you're friends. Yeah. You didn't know I was an actor? You need to really pay more attention. Well, I knew you were an actor because, like, usually with actors,

you know they're an actor because they fucking tell you. Yeah. They fucking let you know. Yeah, we do. There's no way of not knowing. True. But with her her I had no idea I thought she just made silly little TikToks like me No she's a superstar actress She has an actual skill She is so funny

So we won't ruin it for you But Class of 07 essentially It's a school reunion Or girls school reunion Yeah And the end of the world seemingly happens And the world floods Yeah that's exactly what happens

They're all at their school reunion Which is at the highest point of this mountain Yeah And then the apocalypse happens Which is a huge flood And. They're all at their school reunion, which is at the highest point of this mountain. Yeah. And then the apocalypse happens, which is a huge flood. And so they're all stuck up there. Yeah. Like all these group of bitches who hate each other. And it's so funny.

Yeah, it's very funny. And really, really good. And this character is that girl who comes back to a high school reunion and lies about what she does for work. Yeah, she wants to sound more impressive. We can talk about this whenever it gets here, of course. Yeah, of course we will. And fangirling, because I'm so excited to have her on. Pricekeeper

Jenna, for the third week in a row, they say bad things come in threes. That's true. She has COVID. For the first time! And someone was joking in our Facebook group, oh, what's the excuse going to be this time? She's going to miss another week and it's going to be the most dramatic excuse. And they were right. She has COVID. Finally. I can't believe she's only just gotten it the first time. Well, that's what I said. Like, is this your first time?

And she said, yes. Oh, dear. House break-in. COVID. What was the first week? Last week it was an intrusion. Yes. And now here we are.

She's got COVID. Poor thing. She'll be okay. Hopefully back next week. Yeah. Well, we'll see. She better be because next week's our last week before we take a little break for Easter. Oh, true.

So it'd be nice to have her back for the last week for now. Not the last week ever. Listen, if it is your first time listening, it's Is It Just Me? Every week Mitch and I start the show the exact same way with something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch has no idea what mine is. I don't know Mitch's. We surprise each other.

It's like, you know, when you have a wedding anniversary and you go, I don't want a gift. Just surprise me. I do like the surprise factor. Not surprise each other. It's like, you know, when you have a wedding anniversary and you go, I don't want a gift. Just surprise me. I do like the surprise factor. Not going to lie. Is it going to be about McDonald's again this week for you? No, because even Hayden mentioned it. Hayden was like, God, a lot of Maccas content coming out of the podcast. And now it could be moving. Wait, wait, wait. Did he actually listen? No, he saw the socials.

I think he might be a secret listener because I didn't even post a video from the Maccas thing you did last week. Oh my God, you didn't. Is Hayden secretly supportive for once? Wow. No, you know what? I was beautifully shocked. I've been doing my night radio show live from Australian Idol and I've said to Hayden, come

along because we've got a full set. They've built a night show style late night talk show set. It's amazing. Yeah, I noticed he was there. It's really cool. And then he said to me out of the blue, I night talk show set. It's amazing. Yeah, I noticed he was there. It's really cool. And then he said to me out of the blue, I'd love to come. And I was like, it's been five years.

In the early days, he'd come and kiss and he'd come to interviews. Oh, so had you been dropping hints like, do you want to come? Do you want to come? Do you want to come? For weeks on end and you just had no interest. But also it's kind of like, that's what I do. Yeah, you want to show off. I wanted to show off and go, look how good of a friend I am with Meghan Trainor and Kyle Sandlin.

Oh my God. And it worked because they all came in. Not your skills. You just wanted to flex about your friends. Yes, my select friends. Anyway, he loved it and it was great. But to that point, he made the effort that after he's like, I'm so glad I came. It was so good to see you in your element.

And it was nice. After five years, you don't get those new moments very often. No, you don't, do you? Well, not that I'd know. No, no, no. You're right. But you'd be, you know, you're getting up there often. No, you don't, do you? No. Well, not that I'd know. No, no, no, you're right. But you'd be, you know, you're getting up there now. Eight months? What is it, eight?

Yeah, nearly nine months. Yeah. So that doesn't really compare to five years, but still. Not at all. All right, let's start the show. Do you want to do your Is It Just Me first? Yeah, let's jump in. Yeah, pick it up.

Is it just me or... Can you break a lease based on shitty neighbours? Oh, no, don't tell me. You've only just moved into your place. It's more of a question, yeah. Do you hate your neighbours already? I don't know. I need your help in a judgement because I've made a snap judgement

and I hate them and I don't know if I'm in the right or if I'm in the wrong. And I don't know if there's a cooling off period in leases. I don't think they do have a probation when it comes to signing a lease. I know. This is why I'm in the right or if I'm in the wrong. And I don't know if there's a cooling off period in leases. I don't think they do have a probation when it comes to signing a lease. I know. This is why I'm worried. I filmed this before I left this morning to come to the station to do the show. This is me at my back door with the doors closed.

Closed. This is what I heard when I woke up this morning. Our neighbor's learning to play the clarinet. Keyword learning. Jesus Christ. She's learning to play the clarinet! Oh, that's kind of sweet. Do you know how old she is?

She's an adult! That's what makes it worse. Yeah, how old? Oh, I think she's the same age as us. She's got a nice boyfriend. I'd say 25, 26. Oh, that's kind of sweet, though, that she's, you know, not late in life, but she's certainly not a child.

And she goes, yeah, I'm going to learn a new skill. Bugger it. No, I'm really off it. It would get annoying. How often does it happen? Every morning at the crack of dawn. She does it after nine, so she's polite, thoughtful. After nine, that's still quite early.

Well, yeah, I don't get up until like 9.30, 10. When is the ideal time to practice your clarinet, though? Someone's going to hear it either way. I know, but I just feel she should have warned us because we met her when we moved in on the moving in day. We were out in the front and she said, hi, I'm, you know, I want doxa. And she didn't say that she played the flute.

She went, we're just a share house. Is it a flute or a clarinet? I think, I don't know. It's definitely a clarinet. Sorry. It's not because it's a flute, I could deal with it. That's a light,

airy instrument. I mean, I don't want to shit can her efforts, but she sounds like she's at a very beginner level. Like she's just mastering scales at this point. That's why she's doing chopsticks. Hopefully she's got the same commitment as you do when you get a new instrument and she'll just be like, nah,

fuck this. I'm not an expert instantly, so I'm giving up. Hopefully she's got that trait, but also I kind of think it's sweet. I be like, nah, fuck this. I'm not an expert instantly, so I'm giving up. Hopefully she's got that trait. But also I kind of think it's sweet. I'm like, oh, good for you. Because I have a similar issue. One of my neighbours in my apartment is practising violin a lot.

That's a beautiful instrument. Well. Is it? They're not bad at it, I will say. As a former violinist myself, I'm like, pitchy, but that's all right. Only you can tell that you've got the ear. Yes, but no, that doesn't bother me too much because it doesn't happen that often. If anything, I'm like, she doesn't practice this week.

She's not going to pass her next exam. She's not going to get to grade three. No, not going to get a black belt in violin. Well, I had to think because I told Hayden and he's like, you know, you stayed up until the crack of dawn trying to learn the theremin and the banjo. How do you put headphones in them? Yeah, but I didn't want to. Oh, to learn the theremin and the banjo. How do you put headphones in them? Yeah, but I didn't want to. Oh, you played the theremin out loud?

Of course I did, yeah. Oh, but that's a little bit different. You've got volume dials on it, don't you? I do have. Or did you absolutely blast it? No, I didn't blast it. Okay. Well, yeah, that's fine.

The banjo, I don't think that's not going to travel much, but this clarinet's a fucking horn. Yeah, the banjo lasted for only about a week. The theremin I committed to for a month and I had a brief DJ stint. I didn't even know about the DJ stint. No, I sold them. I was so embarrassed. I sold them on Marketplace.

You sold what? My DJ decks. Didn't I tell you that I bought DJ decks? Oh my God. Speaking of your Facebook Marketplace habits. Yes. I walked into your housewarming party on the weekend. Oh yeah, at a party.

And I knew exactly what had happened. What? There's this big photo booth Barbie box, like a life-size Barbie box that people can get in and get photos. Yes. Make it look like they have the Barbie in the packaging. It was the housewarming Hayden's 27th birthday and it was Barbie dream house themed. And I turned to Sean when we arrived and I said, I bet you any fucking money that Cheery bought that box on Marketplace. And then they decided on the theme after the fact.

They're like, oh, we've got the box, so we'll make the theme Barbie themed. It wasn't the other way around. No, yeah, we found the box on Marketplace, scrolling, trying to find a new couch, and then I'm like, hey, Dan, we've got a theme. What if he changed his mind and goes, no, I want the theme to be something beginning with S and then you're stuck with a fucking Barbie box.

I would have painted it. I would have done whatever we needed to do, you know. I want it to be Nutri-Grain themed. Spray paint it brown. And that's the Nutri-Grain box. Also, all the photos that your guests were getting in the Barbie box, you didn't think to move the hose. Like that really ruined all the photos.

No, I know. It was just a hose in the background. I know. Because we wanted to put it outside. It's hard. It was hard. Anyway, maybe you can just write that there's a clarinet for sale on Marketplace and put her address in and they're like, hello, I'm here for the clarinet.

That is genius. Clarinet for sale, barely used, wasn't any good, so quit. Really, you know, dig in the knife and then put her home address. She'd be so confused. She goes, no, what the fuck? I'm keeping it. You know, I do that whenever I book Uber Eats or whenever I book a taxi or an Uber, I put my neighbor's address.

That's why in case they hate us or we say something and they come back to kill us, they kill my neighbors. Why would- what? I've done that for years. Do they just leave it on the patio though? Yeah, and I just walk around and get it. Oh. I say leave.

Why would they hate you? If you're not actually talking to them, why would they hate you? What are you worried about? Hate crime. What if I'm in an Uber and Hayden and I passionately kiss? And then he goes, I'm going to kill those two poofters. And he comes back at 1am and he kills us. Well, that's a bit sad that you've got that much foresight about hate crime.

That says a lot about me. More about me than it does anyone else. Yeah. I've never ever once thought that. I always make reservations under a fake name too. Why? In case we get murdered. At the restaurant.

But what difference does that make? I don't know. It's a safety thing. Because you're dead either way. If I'm choking on my spring roll, they're going to go, help James, help him. Or if there's some sort of gunman in the restaurant, changing your name doesn't really save you. I don't know where I got it from. I don't understand that logic.

I've done it for years. God, you're a bit paranoid. I'm surprised that you weren't anti-vax. Stop it. That is skewing very conspiracy't anti-vax. I think I... Stop it. That is skewing very conspiracy theorists, that behaviour. It is not. I never give the restaurants my name. You never know.

It is, isn't it? A bit sort of Q&A. Yeah. Sorry, guys. Oh, well. I learn more and more about you every episode, I swear to God. I'm an actor and I'm a conspiracy theorist. God.

All right, shall we do your region? Yeah, I'm ready. Is it just me or is the idea of staying in an airbnb while the host is home a fucking nightmare to you oh no i've done this so yeah you can yeah you can either rent out like a whole place or just a room in someone's actual dwelling yeah like their spare room like sometimes it might be it's their house and they live in the main house, but they Airbnb out the granny flat. And they don't even talk to you, really. They respect your privacy.

Yeah. But then sometimes you can actually just stay in someone's house. Yeah. I can't think of anything worse. This happened to Hayden and I when we went to Disneyland. All Hayden wanted to stay at was at the Disneyland Hotel. You know, the real fancy Disneyland. No, I don't.

Why would I know that? Disneyland has a hotel in the park. Okay. It's themed like Mickey Room and Snoopy room and all that bullshit. And it's like $1,000 a night. And I'm like, we were poor. We're like, no, no, we're going to stay at an Airbnb in Anaheim around the corner. So we booked a room in someone's house. And when we knocked on the door, we had to say hello to them.

They let us in. And on the spare room door, there was a Bible verse. Oh, shit. And it was Corinthians. That, there was a Bible verse. Oh, shit. And it was Corinthians. That's where you should have given them a fake name. I know. I know. And then Corinthians is, I think, famously the marriage quote.

And then about a man and a woman. And then we go in and in the room is all religious artifacts. Fuck. Was the host giving you weird looks or anything? When you walked in with your same-sex gay facto? Hey, guys. Oh, just the host giving you weird looks or anything when you walked in with your same-sex gay facto? Hey, guys. Oh, just the two of you? No worries.

Okay. Oh, shit. Two brothers traveling together. That's nice. No, they didn't. And they're clearly different races, right? Different fathers. No worries.

Oh, my God. We were biracial and gay. And then there were board games. Hayden and I were like, let's play a board game. And the board game that they had was Bible, the board game. What, do you have to stop Jesus? On the third day you get out of jail free? Like, how does it work? Yeah, that's exactly how it works.

We didn't end up playing, sadly. Okay, well you're not helping this situation, because I'm about to say it in Airbnb for the first time with the other person home. I'm just in their house. Where are you going? What's this for? Because my parents are going to see Rod Stewart down the south coast, and they said oh, why don't you and Sean come down and see us on that for? Oh, because my parents are going to see Rod Stewart down the South Coast. And they said, oh, why don't you and Sean come down and see us on that night?

Oh, that's lovely. And we can, you know, catch up and whatever. And I was like, sweet. Turns out every man and his dog must be seeing Rod Stewart on the South Coast because I could not get a hotel room. So it's booked out. It's packed. Yes. I found all these gorgeous hotels.

But then once I put our dates in that we're actually going, nah, sorry, booked out. So, yes, I'll be staying with Rosemary and her two beautiful ragdoll cats, Cindy and Theodore. Oh, beautiful. And her border collie beau. Oh, wow. What a full house that'll be. Oh, God. I can't think of anything worse because she's going to be down there if we go down to make a coffee.

Morning! Yeah. Like wanting to sit with us. That's what I'm picturing is going to be the case sean will have no issue he's a people person he'll be chatty but i can't be bothered it sounds like a nightmare do you think you'll have sex that night because that you're away the juices are flowing when you're on holiday i can't with rosemary and the cats and dog like that's a bit off isn't it couldn't possibly no you you gotta feel so uncomfortable And look at the place.

It looks very like- Do you have photos? Show me. Yeah, like the floral bedspread and everything. It looks like some old lady's spare room. Yeah. Look. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. That's a lot of beige. It's a lot of beige. Is it a house? Is it an apartment? No, it's her house. Oh, my God. Listen to this.

She's written about herself in third person. It says, Rose, me will be happy to greet you on arrival. She's very bubbly and accommodating. Rose loves having visitors and sharing stories. Okay. So she's basically put it out there from the get-go. Yeah, I'm chatty. Yes, she has.

Welcome to my house. We're friends now. I love to hear that. Hold on. Can you read the reviews from other people that have stayed there? Oh, fuck. I haven't even thought of that. No, because they'll say Rosemary wouldn't shut up.

Rosemary didn't let me get a breath in. Oh, hold on. Once again, a very friendly and comfortable say with Rosemary. Okay, so this person's a returning customer. Yeah. Oh, great. More, more, more. Really enjoyed and I'm grateful for my time in Rosemary's home.

These people seem to be vibing. Maybe I just need to. I'm going to go in with an open mind. I'm going to try and enjoy Rosemary's hospitality. Okay. It's happening in the next couple of weeks. So once we're back from our little Easter break, I'll be able to let you know how my stay at Rosemary's went.

Yeah, give us an update. Yeah. My night at Rosemary's. An autobiography. God, if there's a Bible on the door, I swear to fuck. I swear to fuck. I swear to fuck. Is it just me? That's enough of these two.

Now let's hear an Is It Just You? All right, Emma Horne from Class of 07. She's just outside the studio. Yeah, she's going to jump in in a sec, but let's take a quick call first. Yeah, a little Is It Just You? Don't forget, if you have an Is It Just Me of your own, we call them Is It Just Yous, you can also get on the show. You can join our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots.

Send us a message there, a couple of Mitches, or they can send us a text. 0412 712 092. That's right. We've got Sian joining us. Hello, Sian. Welcome. You're in Townsville. Hi.

Yes, I am. Oh, gorgeous. Mitch is heading up to Queensland. How's the weather? Yeah. Look, it's a big change. I've just moved from Darwin, so it's a bit chilly here for me. Oh, God, I've never heard anyone describe Queensland as chilly ever.

Sian, you've got an Is It Just You? I sure do, yes. Okay, well, Bradley, I'll count you in and then hit us with your question, okay? Okay, yes. Okay, well, Bradley will count you in and then hit us with your question, okay? Okay, perfect. Is it just me or...? A breakup's one of the worst things to go through. Oh, I can imagine, yeah. Oh, dear, Sian, don't tell me.

Is this fresh? It literally happened maybe Tuesday last week. Oh, shit, Sian. Sorry to hear. How long were you in a relationship for? Who were they? So I was in a relationship with a guy in Darwin for two years. Built a family.

We were building a family. We were doing the whole house thing. We had a life, everything. And then one day he just turns around and he goes, yeah, that's it. What? Did you have kids? That happened literally last week. You just turned around and said, that's it?

Pretty much. And he didn't even bother to talk to me one-on-one. He did it at a pub. No. At a pub in front of everyone where they could see your reaction. Yeah. So that was nice. Did you get a whiff that something was up?

Yeah. Is a pub your usual thing or was he awkward the whole week before? No, so the pub's like our usual thing. Like, it's just our local. Yeah. And he was a bit off with me just randomly that day, which is not normally like him. Okay.

And then we went out and he pretty much said that we're done and I have not heard from him since. Oh, that's fucking brutal. And so there was no writing on the wall whatsoever that you were completely caught off guard? Yeah, not that I know of. What was his reasoning? Did he say he had fallen out of love?

Sorry, this is very fresh for you. Are you right over there? I'm getting emotional. I've got a frog in my throat. Oh, yes, I'm fine. Don't worry. First of all, can we just say before the details, you're beautiful, young girl. You don't need anyone

in your life, just so you know. You really don't. You don't need someone to be fully fulfilled, and I think this is a blessing in disguise, but let's get into nitty gritty. What was his piss-weak excuse? He didn't give me one. Oh, I'm putting myself in your shoes and I'm getting so pissed off. Do you know, you live together, right?

Yeah, we lived together for a year. And so where the fuck is he now? In the house. He pretty much said to me to leave, pretty much pack my stuff and go to my family in Townsville. So the next day I packed all of my stuff and I got off the lease and I filled my stuff and go to my family in Townsville. So the day I packed all of my stuff and I got off the lease and I filled my car as much as I could and I drove all the way from Darwin to Townsville by myself.

No, he broke up with you. He doesn't get to set the rules. You have to drive from Darwin to Townsville? Yeah, it took me four days. Fucking hell. Oh, my God. So what about all your shit? You took all your stuff?

So I pretty much just filled my car with as much stuff that I could and I just started driving. You're more patient than I am because when I said I'm putting myself in your shoes and I'm getting pissed off, if he gave me no explanation or excuse, I'd be banging on his door going, oi, dog. Yeah. Come out here, coward. You need to fucking nut this out and actually give me a legitimate reason. Otherwise, I'm going to drive myself insane. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry for you, Sian.

Yeah, it's okay. I don't know. I guess it must be just a straight man coping mechanism. That's disgusting. How long were you together all up? Two years. I don't know how you did that without asking any questions. I would have been like, no, I'm refusing to leave until we actually talk about this properly.

So I've got some sort of clarity. Yeah. What did you say at the pub? Did you go, no, you need to tell me. I tried. I tried. I did the, can we talk? Let's talk things out. And he just got up and stormed away. And then he said that he packed a bag and he's going to go stay at a mate's. And then I just never heard from him until the next morning. And he was like, can you get off the lease? I was like, oh, okay. What a fucking grub of a man. That is disgusting. I'm so sorry, Sian.

Thank you. It's okay. But it's just, yeah, breakups are shit. They're not fun. Especially one like that. That sounds brutal. Hey, listen, Diamond in the Rough, though, you know, a bit of positivity. At least you get to be the winner here. Like, you get to say, you know, like, I'm not, he fucking left.

It's all him. Then you get all the sympathy. That's great. Oh, you get to say, you know, like, I'm not, he fucking left, it's all him, then you get all the sympathy. That's great. No, do I? He gets the house, he gets everything. Right. That is true. Did you get the schnitzel, at least, at the pub?

Did you get to eat? Did he wait until after meal service? No, he didn't even wait. That's the worst part. Look, we can't really offer much by way of support or solutions. All we can really do is offer to get petty revenge. If you want us to make a prank call to him, we can do that. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God. I reckon he'd flip his bloody burgers. He'd go nuts. I can take it. Yeah, we can take it. You know who can take it? Dot Wiggins can take it. She'll forget completely that she made the call.

So if you want Dot to place a call and say that he's perhaps laid on some car repayments or that he was photographed, what's something that's believable? Probably the car stuff. Do you want us to do it? We need your consent. That way you're not feeling... That's true. Maybe not.

Maybe let's just leave it. Okay. All right. Leave it for the time being. It's a good call. I know. Is he the bald sod on your Instagram? I'm stalking you now. Is let's just leave it. Okay, all right. Leave it for the time being. It's a good call. Is he the bald sod on your Instagram? I'm stalking you now.

Is that him? That is. Is he the bald bastard on your Instagram? What bald bastard on my Instagram? I'm stalking your Instagram. Some guy in a Christmas hat. She's like, that's my son. Who's the bald guy with the Christmas hat?

No, that's not him. No, you're way too far down. Oh, shit. On the second picture, he's the one in the Adelaide Crows jersey. As if we know what that looks like. As if we know what that is. Oh, okay. Oh, I found Prime Possa, Mitch.

It's living behind that cunt's head with that shit of a mullet. Oh, my goodness gracious me. Is that him with the red mullet? Yeah. He doesn't look like someone I would enjoy. He looks like the kind of person that would break up with you over a schnitzel. I needed this laugh today, honestly. Well, that's what we can provide.

A laugh. We can just bully him behind his back. We can just bully him if that's what you want. Listen, Sian, so sorry that you're going through this, but you're at home with your family and you're on the podcast. So, yeah, I hope you feel better after a bit of a vent. I do. I do.

I do need a vent every now and then, and I've had some good cries. Good. Good. It's a big healing process. Good. Get it out of your system. Well, we'll send you a nice prize. Prize Keeper Jenna, when she's well again, we'll get you something nice,

and that will send that your way, okay? Oh, thanks, guys. And invest in a good vibrator. That'll really make a world of difference, you know? Look, it'll be better than him. Yes, it's exactly right. I can almost guarantee it. Thanks, Sian.

All the best, darling. Thanks. Bye. Bye. Poor Chook. If you've got an is it just you of your own, hit us up. We're not really relationship experts. How awkward would it be if they got back together and we've just shitcanned his appearance?

Ugly's ugly. No matter how long you've been with someone, he is ugly. No, he looks like a fucking broom, honestly. Isn't that where she was from? No, close. Close. Up north, but no, not the same place. Yeah, hit us up if you've got an issue.

Should we bring Emma in? Poor thing's waiting patiently. Yes, we're sorry Emma's been listening to that. Let's bring her in. Emma time. Right, here she is. She's had a seat. Hello, Emma.

Emma Hall. Welcome. Hello. I am here. I'm so gushy. I feel like a proud aunt. I've just finished watching Class of 07. I binged through it in one night.

It's very bingeable. It's very bingeable. I love a 30-minute episode. Well, Mitch texted me, Emma, and he was like, you need to watch this show. And I was like, I don't have time to commit. And he was like, selling it hard. I don't know if there's a cash deal going on under the table. I swear there's not.

He's like, 29-minute episodes and you can binge them all in one sitting. And I did and I loved it. Yay. You voice messaged me, Mitch. I did. And was like, I can't work out why I like this show. And then I realised there's no men. Oh my God.

I was thinking, why am I so glued to this? And then when you think about it, what are my other favourite shows? McLeod's Daughters, Offspring. My favourite musical is Wicked. I love a fucking strong female lead oh my god that's saddle club i didn't i didn't even all you needed were horses and i didn't even realize there were no men yeah it's such a good show i bloody loved it caitlin stacy's in it oh she's so she's a boss bitch also can i just say not only they're no man essentially you kill

off all the men because of the apocalypse hits right so it's like we don't kill, or do we? No, well, yes. Well, not. Yeah, I will say, when it finished, like the last episode, I was like, there's got to be another episode coming out next week. Is it one of those weekly things? Because it didn't feel like an ending. So it does feel like there's a season two on the way. Fingers and toes. Like, hopefully you've all watched it because we're going to talk spoilers, right?

Yeah, we may as well. Spoiler alert, if you have not yet watched it, fuck off. Don't listen to this podcast. But I do think that you should go and watch it it's on amazon prime video it is class of 07 yeah absolutely gorgeous what actual class were you emma when did you graduate high school 2012 2012 okay is it similar to your experience in high school i mean it's obviously a dramatized version of the of the characters that we all had in our lives. You were the nice one. Thank fuck.

I was the nice one. You were. Honestly, high school was shit. Amen. Amen. I really didn't have my people at all. I really floated from group to group and I definitely had a bit of, I don't know, I hate saying the the popular group but it's a thing,

like in high school it's that thing. It's real. But I was a dancer so I just like would go to the dance room or just like I definitely did have days where I would sit in the bathroom by myself. Really? And eat food, yeah. Oh, God.

Doesn't sound hygienic eating food in the bathroom. I couldn't find anyone sometimes. Just quietly. That's a bit gross. No, it is weird when you're kind of a floater. Kind of lonely though. Floaters represent it is lonely. I find the hardest part is like I didn't connect with any

of like the bro-y bros, like the sports bros, but that was the group that I was like assigned. Like that was my group. Assigned? Yeah, like I just felt that that's who I should hang out with. Yeah. And one of them is a friend now and I only have like two or three friends from high school, but I'd sit in the drama lab.

We called them labs. No science was done in those things. We called them the drama labs. When was science ever? What science do you actually learn in school? Such a good call. You burn. I burnt apple pieces at one point with a Bunsen burner.

That's it. We burnt apple. That's all we did. Here's a spoiler from the show. There's one scene where, you know, they're stranded at this school campus. Yeah. And a few of the girls, including your character, are tasked to go to the science labs and just generate electricity.

Yep. If that was me, I'd be like, I'm out. Fuck that. Well, they had to do it or they wouldn't get fed, according to Saskia. Yeah. That sort of pressure. And I did not pay attention to science.

It didn't interest me in the slightest. I'd be like, well, I guess we're all dying then. Because how am I supposed to just invent electricity from scratch? I don't know me in the slightest. I'd be like, well, I guess we're all dying then because how am I supposed to just invent electricity from scratch? I don't know how they did it, but it's a jump cut in the show. That's true, actually. They didn't show how they figured that out. I don't know if I should say this, but it's really funny.

And I think it was kind of missed, but it's funny because previously to finding the electricity episode, I sit on defibrillators that go bing oh my god that's electric but also like renee sits on them so like i don't know it kind of works she wouldn't say it she doesn't know oh my god i did not even pick up on that that is hilarious it's so funny because renee your character obviously yes goes to the school reunion lies about being a doctor so then when they're the only people left on earth after the apocalypse, they're like, oh, good thing we've got a doctor here.

Yeah, doctors solve everything. It was so sweet. I loved Renee. I've got to tell you though, I am a little bit stupid because one of my other friends was a writer on the show and I saw that she put on Instagram, oh, so happy to have worked as a writer on this show. And then I saw your instagram post that was

like oh i can finally talk about it i loved being involved in this and for some reason i just assumed that you did some sort of behind the scenes thing as well and so when i watched the show i was like what the fuck emma's one of the lead cast members and she was in catering look she delivered the food i had no idea and i was just like whoa only is she in it, but she's one of the lead cast members. I just thought I was like a little prop. Do you know what? I was going to say I was a prop holder, but let me tell you, people who deal with props, our wardrobe, our whole department,

just the show wouldn't exist. Yeah, of course. It runs amazing. I'm in it, Mitch. Oh, yeah, I know. I'm actually in it. And I was blown away. I don't know why.

I was just like, oh, look at her go. I just didn't even know that you were an actor. Wow. I didn't even know. Wow, real friend over here. I know. You were very good. Can you run us through, like, getting the job?

Actually, let's go further back. Did you study acting? Did you do theatre? Obviously, high school didn't resonate with you, as we can connect to. What did you do after school? After school, I got into, like, a full-time dance school in Melbourne, and I went down there, and that's actually where I studied

like an acting elective. Yeah. And do you guys remember Janet Andrew Arthur, who is a teacher? I was going to say who's a teacher on Neighbours. No, she's an actor on Neighbours. Yeah, right. Susan? Oh, Susan.

Yeah, yeah. Hold on, maybe I'm lying. That's Jackie Woodburn. That's a lie. That's a lie. Janet Andrew Arthur, she plays. Oh, Lynn. That's Lynn. Lynn. Lynn McGranger. Of course. No. Janet Andrew Arthur, she plays... Oh, Lynn. That's Lynn.

Lynn. Lynn McGranger. Of course Lynn. No, no, no. Lynn on Neighbours. Oh, I don't know who you're talking about. We've played... We're so bad.

We've played scenes with Lynn on this podcast before. Have we? We played the best Neighbours cat fight scenes. Okay, so she was your teacher? She was my teacher, yeah. Oh my God, what's she like? The best. Wow.

A really, really good teacher. Super kind and lovely, but as a really, really good teacher, like super kind and lovely, but as a teacher, like really focused and like just like, I don't know, she really inspired me and I knew I was like, you know what, I think the dance world is not for me. And I went into acting kind of from there. Lynn from Neighbours inspired your acting career. I love that.

I studied acting in Sydney then. Where did you go? AFTT. The way you say that, AFTT? AFTT. AFTT. AFTT. Anybody love that. I studied acting in Sydney then and... Where'd you go? AFTT. The way you say that. AFTT? AFTT. Anybody? Fun. Do you know what I said to Mitch before you rocked up though? I said, usually when someone is an actor, I would

know because they fucking tell you. But it's because you didn't go to NIDA. That's the difference. Anyone that goes to NIDA, you never hear the end of it. Honestly... Say it. Say it. Go on. I feel like WAPA is, like, I have many friends from WAPA. Is that the one in Perth?

I love you all, but they always say, oh, well, at WAPA it's blah, blah, blah. That's not the WAPA way. Yeah, that's not the WAPA way. Not the WAPA way. Not the WAPA way. The only WAPA I want to get my hands on is at Hungry Jacks. Oh, yeah. It's not in WA.

I don't want to go there. But, yeah, I feel like you don't bang on about the fact that you do acting. And so how the fuck was I to know? Do you know why, Mitch? It just took me by surprise. Because my self-esteem is about as tall as a rock. No, well, bring it up higher. It needs to be higher.

I talk about going to acting school and I've never booked a fucking gig. I was going to say, and I've never been. I have, sadly, and i haven't booked anything um and that's also why i felt like a bit of a proud aunt watching it because a lot of your tiktok stuff one of the things i love about your videos if you talk so much about having anxiety and things like that and then i was like look at her up on the screen just owning her shit you wouldn't know that she was even slightly nervous were you actually nervous god yeah i think you know it's an advantage to go into a comedy set because obviously everyone's relaxed and you have a lot of fucking fun.

Yeah. Like, oh, so much fun. It did look fun. All of us are genuinely, like, best friends, like, super close, talk every day, so much fun, idiots, crazy, insane. But I was so nervous. Like, also because the funny thing is we had a bunch of rehearsals, like, before we went to set, though, and we really broke the ice.

We played drama games, all that shit. So much fun. That sounds like my heaven. That is amazing. Sounds like my hell. I hate drama games. I love drama games. What games did you do?

We did Space Jump. Of course. Oh, my gosh, Lou, which is fucking scary, though, when you don't know anyone. It is scary. I get too in my head about it when I do drama games and shit like that. Oh, interesting. Yeah. We should have done it. Should we head about it when I do drama games and shit like that. Oh, interesting.

We should have done it. Should we do it now? No, we are not. I knew you were going to say that. Why don't we just do Space Jump now? I don't even remember how to do Space Jump. What is that? You can kick it, Amy.

You just said that. I remember hating it. I had to do it in high school. One person starts off. I blocked all of high school out. One person just starts the scene in any setting or it can be a given setting. Oh, man. And then someone will enter a scene and then say Space Jump when they're in a compromising position. That's normally the gag of it all, right? Because then it's a given setting. I'm out. And then someone will enter a scene and then say space jump

when they're in a compromising position. That's normally the gag of it all, right, because then it's a funny spot and then you change the scene and so on and so forth. And then once you add everyone, then you start removing people. Oh, God. Yeah. It's stressful. It is stressful.

We're all like getting ready. Okay, we won't do it. We won't do it. What other games did you do? The zip zap boing? No. That one's easy. That one's a good one.

I don't even know what we did. We did like lots of circle talk about ourselves. Oh, yes. Does it actually help doing those things? Yeah. Okay. I think it did for us at least. And we also had to, okay, this was the first day.

Do you know in the first episode where we do a dance to That's Not My Name? Yes. Yes. Yeah. So we choreographed that as a cast. Really? I might say, where's our credits? I Name. Yes. Yeah. So we choreographed that as a cast. Really? I might say, where's our credits? I don't know.

But, yeah, we had to, our director, Casey Anning, wanted us to all choreograph something for ourselves and perform it individually in front of everyone. That was our task. Oh, my God. And she'd play a song and we would just have to dance. And it was so good to get us all out of our comfort zone, but it was so scary.

Like, I feel anxious now talking about it. Oh, please. I remember when we did the TikTok Mardi Gras float together. Oh, yeah. When we were doing rehearsals, you took to it like a duck to water, and then there's me looking so uncoordinated, and you've come from a dance background. I'm like, what fucking hope do I have of looking graceful

when Emma's in the room? You're a dancer. For God's sake. I was. I was. In a past life. Yeah, in a past life. Oh, she's still the room? You're a dancer. For God's sake. I was. I was. In a past life. Yeah, in a past life. Oh, she's still here.

She's still got it. You've seen her on the show. Was this the, oh, you were very good. You were very good dancing. Wait, was this the float that I saw or the recent Mardi Gras? I think this was the first time it was at the cricket stadium. Oh, I remember that. It was a good time.

Were you there the year after? I don't think you did come back, did you? No, I didn't. They made the dance 10 times easier because they could see people like me the first year. Not fucking coping. Only because of you, Mitch. Oh, but you didn't struggle. With the show, the cast, because I saw some behind the scenes, I think,

that were real on your Instagram. Oh, I'm a bitch for a good montage. That doesn't make sense, but it does in my head. I love that. I know where you're going. Montaging bitch. That's what I am. You are a montaging bitch because that montage was very good. And you put it over sad music. I'm like, oh, my God. I love it. You must where you're going. Montaging bitch. Yeah, you are a montaging bitch because that montage was very good.

And you put it over sad music. I'm like, oh, my God. You must miss the hanging with the cast. We talk literally 24-7 every single day. Is there a group chat? Yes. Do you guys share, like, the negativity or the positivity? What do you share?

I want to know it all. Actually, to be honest, there hasn't really been that much negativity. But we do share, like, the Twitter little memes. And, like, like actually let me be clear actually our group chat is just all about gay gay gay gay we're like this is gay everyone's saying this is gay when are they going to kiss but there's so much they're like every character's bisexual there's all these like things that's funny oh wow yeah the show's only been out like a few days hasn't it at the time of record obviously it hasn't even been out long but

it's got its own little twitter fan base has it it? Yeah, it's been out like four days, I think. Wow. But yeah, we're finding heaps of cute little character edits on Twitter and TikTok. I love that. I love that. Is there a fan cam? Is there a what? You know what a fan cam is?

Or a fanfic? Is that what you mean? No. Oh, fanfic. There'd be fanfic. I'd write the fanfic. What's fan cam? Oh, fanfic would be hot.

Yeah. Fanfic boss. I'd read that. We could write that. But what's fan cam? Fan cam is like when they get a mashup of all your, fanfic would be hot. I'd read that. We could read that. But what's fan cam? Fan cam is like when they get a mashup of all your, like, you looking hot. Like a one second video of you dancing, then another video of you talking and they add hot music to it.

You know, I've seen two of them. Do you know who they, can you guess who they were? It would have been Pedro Pascal. Was it? No, I've seen like, I mean, from my show. Oh, I thought you said in live. Not just in life. I love that you said that.

One of my like really good friends is a staff member. Why Pedro Pascal? Why not Pedro Pascal? He's dad. He's daddy at the moment. He is the dad. He's mother really, yeah. He's the father.

He is. He's just having, he's living his best life at the moment. He's top of the culture. Is that a, I sound so old right now, even though I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest one here. I sound so old. Is that a new thing saying, oh, they're mother right now? Yes, they are mother. Fuck.

I've spotted that, and you just said it. I'm like, oh, God, it's another trend. Emma, in this, you're so mother. I'm mother? Yeah. Have you heard the mother thing? No. Okay, I've seen it, but for some reason, wait, is that like Meghan Trainor's new song?

What is that? No, no, no. She's just jumped on that bandwagon. Oh, so she is a mother, right? She's quite literally a mother. She's got babies. That songwagon. Oh, so she is a mother, right? She's quite literally a mother. She's got babies. That song confused me. Is it kind of based on that drag race reference? Mother has arrived. I don't think so.

Damn it. I thought it was something else. It's like mommy, right? Yeah, it's like mother energy. I believe. Yeah. Like, so mother. Do you think Renee's mother energy? Absolutely. No, she's not. She's too young to be mother energy, but she's like the nurturing, caring one. Because even though she's not a doctor and she lied about being a doctor,

she went to the school library and was reading all the medical books so she could keep the lie going because she wanted to look after people. That's mother. Did I use that in the right context? I think so. I'm not really the oracle on all things culture, but I do believe that you used that correctly. It sounded correct when you used it. Yeah, I'm going to ask people now on Instagram if I'm mother.

Hello, am I mother? I'm just a little pole. on Instagram if I'm mother. Hello, am I mother? I just did a little poll. No, can I have no context? Just am I mother? Oh, my God. Can you message the group chat now and say, guys, am I mother? They're going to be like, what does that mean? Or just say, guys, who of us is mother?

Oh, yeah. Who of us? Okay. Emma's messaging the Class of 07 group chat to ask who is mother. Honestly, they're going to be like, what? They're going to get it. They all get the culture. Do they? Yeah. Okay. I'm not giving them enough credit. No one's seen it yet. Yeah, give them credit.

Alright, we'll move on for now, but let us know as soon as you get a response, won't you? Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. Alright, as we get all our guests to do an Is It Just Me of Their Own, something

that Emma Horne has noticed, something that she hates or something that she appreciates. You don't seem hateful to me. I've actually entered a bit of revenge era but it's coming and going so we'll see. Oh, okay. Are you ready? This isn't it, though.

I was going to say, that's your revenge era. Dull. You should see mine. What do you mean about a revenge era? Who are you getting revenge on? Oh, I can't say. Can you? It's just I can't.

Okay, all right. I wish you were here when we took a phone call just before from someone who'd just been broken up with. If you were in your revenge era, you would have been the perfect person. Should we just call her back and say, hi, we've got some more advice? Have you got revenge ideas on how to fuck with this guy? We need to tell him. Her boyfriend broke up with her at the pub and then said leave,

and she drove four hours to a new suburb. Four hours? Four days to a different space. Four days. Four days. Four hours to a new suburb. 40 minutes. Let's call her.

Her name's Sian. He kicked her out. Sian? Sian. She had to drive from Darwin to Townsville, which is not a quick commute. I think this is her number. Oh, well, if not, we're calling someone. She's not going to answer because she's not going to know.

She'll freak out. She'll think it's her boyfriend. Yeah. Why do you have it on private? Yeah. This calls from no caller ID. Hello? Oh, it's us again.

Sian? Hi. Hi, it's us again. Sian? Hi. Hi, it's Mitch and Mitch here. We've got someone here that we thought might actually be equipped to give you advice. It's Emma Horne from Class of 07 streaming now on Amazon Prime Video. Oh, God, okay. Hi, Sian.

How are you? Well, bad. I know you're bad. You're not good. You're bad. You can say it. Yeah, I'm pretty shit, so I'm going to be quite honest with you. Yeah, and you know what?

I heard that you were dumped in a pub. Yes. That's fucked. There's nothing. No, that is fucked and says so much about who this person is as a human being, let alone a little scummy man. Do you just predominantly date men? Yes. Sorry to hear that. I would just predominantly date men? Yes.

Sorry to hear that. I would have given you some other advice. That's fine. What? I'm just showing Emma a photo of the cretin, yeah. Where's Sean? Emma's just in a photo. Okay.

Sean is gorgeous. Sean! All I have to say is, Sean, fuck you deserve the world, and I don't even know you. But I feel like I do. And do you know what? We need to get him on. No, I'm dead set.

We're going to get him on. I tried. I suggested that. He deserves to be embarrassed. No. No, he does. What you need to understand, Sian, is that Emma's in her revenge era, so she's out for blood.

Yeah, she is. I keep trying to tell. No, I always, I'm always a person who comes from this place of understanding and I'm like, I always do, but you know what? The other night I was lying in bed and I was like you know what? I'm angry. I don't know why. Well, I kind of do. And I'm angry and I'm going to be in my feels and I'm going to say whatever the fuck I want

because some, do you know what? Apparently in six years aliens are coming. In six? Yeah, in six. That's an oddly specific amount. Oh my god. Exactly. I feel like I've dated an alien, so I think I'm well prepared. You know what? Yeah, he I've dated an alien, so I think I'm well prepared. You know what? Yeah, he's probably one of them, so. All right.

Hope that helped, Sian. Oh, God. Anything. I will take anything, honestly. I appreciate you guys so much. And yet you won't let us make a phone call. That's all right. You're very loved, Sian, though, and you do deserve a lot better.

You know what? I don't want to make the phone call because I don't want it to come back on you guys because I know what he's truly like. Oh, okay. She's protecting us. Oh, God. You know what? I don't want anyone else to deal with it.

I speak on behalf of these two. Yeah. You are mother. Sian, you are mother. Sian is mother. The mother. You are mother, Sian. It's a good thing.

You're on the mother ship. Oh, my God. The aliens. Good tie-in. Good tie-in to the aliens. All right. See you, Sian. Bye. Sorry, Tunnel. Love you. What did you hang up on? I hung up on it mothership. Oh my god. The aliens. Good tie-in. Good tie-in to the aliens. Alright, see you, Sian. Sorry, Tunnel. Did you hang up on her? I didn't have time. Well, thank you, Emma Horne, for that brilliant advice.

We should get your, is it just me from you, shouldn't we? What? Did you get a message on the group chat? I did. I got one from Emily. Okay. Emily plays? Zoe. Great. She's the main bitch. We're confused. Mother, question mark, all of us? That's me. Oh, she's the main bitch. We're confused. Mother, question mark, all of us?

That's me. Okay, not the response we wanted. I don't think we know. They're busy having the hottest show on Amazon Prime. Yeah, they are. I'm glad that they're out of the loop too. I'm not the only one. Yeah, that's all right.

All right, want to do your Is It Just Me? Yeah. All right, we'll count you in. It's probably depressive. Hit us. It's fine. Go for it. If it's about the aliens again, Mike. I wish it was.

Is it just me or? Is sitting in your car at the end of the day a sign of true loneliness? Oh, that is heavy. I thought you were going to say you're sitting in the car for a bit before you walk inside. Like, oh, the best. A little bit of downtime. How is it a sign of loneliness? Because, do you know what?

Every time I do it, I think of myself. You know Marley and me, that dad? He sits in the car and watches his family inside, his dog, and it's crazy. He doesn't want to go inside. Is that me? I don't have a family or a dog. I can't remember that movie. Did he not like his family, though?

Like he was getting a bit of reprieve from it? Oh, I think it was just a bit like, oh, my family's crazy. I'm the man. I wish I had a different life. I know you chose it. You don't feel that way. You just feel there's nothing to go to. Is this exposing my loneliness?

Aren't we all lonely as fuck? Yeah, a little bit. A little bit, yeah. Well, Mitch has got a brand new partner, first time really ever, so we're celebrating that. Yeah, but he – What? Obviously I'm not lonely lonely, but, like, we don't live together and I live at home by myself and work from home,

so there can be times where I'm like, I haven't spoken to a human being in a couple of days. That can be a bit isolating, but it's not, like, the worst thing in the world. Again, I chose that, so. Well, Emma, are you the kind of person that doesn't like being alone with your own thoughts i'm always alone with my own thoughts i like being alone a lot but then i hate it at the same time yeah i like being alone but i feel like it's possible to overdose on me time like i've got too much of it now it's my head's just noisy constantly

though like it's constantly going like is that an ADHD thing? I don't know I'd kill for some me time The only me time I had this week was two episodes Of your show Because of your life? What's your life? I've just got too many things happening I get to scroll paralysis And then I'm like, I don't know

It's sad I have a cat We are the same person. What's the cat's name? The cat's name is Chance. She attacks me all the time. Gordon, that's how they show love. That's just what you need if you're feeling a little bit lonely for someone to attack you.

Yeah, and I'm like, and you know when you're on the verge of like you're so tired and stuff and then she comes behind me and grabs my legs with her claws and her jaw and then I just cry. Yeah, and I see, I have realised slowly but surely that dogs aren't like that. If you're having a bad day, your dog will cheer you up, but if you're having a bad day, your cat will absolutely choose on that day of all days to make it worse. And do cats actually know who you are? I don't know.

No, cats are using you to get fed, to be homed and to be cared for and that is it. And they will never thank you for it. They're so ungrateful. It's a thankless job. It's like having a teenager, really. Yes, it is. Yeah, good call.

You sound like a little parent. He does sound like a little parent. I'm mother. Half of Mitch is human. You are not mother. How dare you? Now, explain to me what the actual feeling is. So, I mean, it's a big statement because you're in this massive show and people would look at you and they may assume,

oh, my God, this girl is never lonely, you know? Oh, okay, yeah. I forget that I'm in a show now. You've got profile. I'm like, I'm depressed. Join the club. But where does comedy come from? Sadness, yes.

Yeah, that's very true. It's like every time Adele's happy, we don't hear from her for years. And then once she's been through something intense, turns it into us. Well, that album was a flop. And is it because she was skinny? I don't know. Did you just say that? It was.

But that album was about divorce, babe. Divorce, remember? So it's hardly a happy album. I love that album. I related. Really? Interesting. I don't know how, but I did.

30. How old are you? Interesting. I don't know how, but I did. 30. How old are you? Can we ask? I'm 28. Oh, wow. She's just talking about being a single mum, her one son, having a cousin. Yeah, but Adele isn't 30. Me too.

Adele's like 84 with 70,000 lives. Yes, good call. That's true. It's weird that she released the album 30 when she was like 32 or 3 or something. I was like, how old is she? She's only that young. She's only 30, isn't she? No, she was older than 30 when she released 30, and that was a little bit.

Okay, I think Adele's 32. I'm putting that out there right now. Guess, Mitchell. How old? I think it should be 33 by now. No, she's not. Adele is. Jesus Christ, I'm shocked.

31. 34. What? Oh, fuck, I was close. That's younger than I thought. I thought she would be at least 40. She's just got the most beautiful old soul. Is that even a thing?

What's an old soul? People say it's just trauma. An old soul? People have told me that I have an old soul. I get that old soul. I've never been be at least 40. She's just got the most beautiful old soul. Is that even a thing? What's an old soul? People say it's just trauma. An old soul? People have told me that I have an old soul. I get that old soul. I've never been told it's trauma. Shit, that checks out. But then I hate when you have those people that are like,

oh, you know, I have an old soul, I had a difficult childhood. That sounds really bad. But I'm like, what if you don't have an old soul and you also had a difficult childhood? I know a lot of fucked up people that have very young souls. Yeah, they're new. I don't think it's, yeah. It's a fresh soul. All right that have very young souls. Yeah, they do. I don't think it's – yeah. That's a fresh soul.

All right, well, great take. Yeah. If you're in your car listening to this, as a lot of people are. Yeah, I was just thinking it sometimes is a compliment when people say, I was listening to that episode of the podcast and I couldn't get out of the car. I was parked in the driveway for 10 minutes. They're really saying, get me some help. Yeah, it's a cry for help.

We're happy to be here as the cry for help aren't we but it is nice sitting in my car i like it but i'm like why do i not just go upstairs because it's like there's something about the in-betweenness of like you've been somewhere then you're in your car at home but you're not home yet you're like in this little in-between world i know like you're comfy in the car and if there's stairs fuck stairs it's probably just a laziness thing if it was was me, it would be. I've got stairs too many. I sometimes, when I'm feeling a bit anxious or a bit flighty,

I will go for a drive. I feel so comfortable driving. It's so nice. Singing? I listen to music, yeah, blast music. I've felt a good song. Show tunes or what do you listen to? Right now, so I have song obsessions.

I never listen to new music, really. Me too. I don't know what it is about me. I just can't get amongst it. And it's just like it's comforting. Right now it's been It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celine Dion for about a month. Stop it.

I love that. Mine has been, is it Toni Braxton, Unbreak My Heart? You know that one? That's a brilliant song. Why is it? God, we are old souls. Listen to us. That's a beautiful song. Put it on.

May as well. Just go to the chorus so people know what we're talking about. Just in case. We played this on the show not long ago. Oh, that's right. It does remind me of my childhood too. Oh, we should have played this to Sian. Don't sing along with her. I feel so bad. I think I hurt Sian's feelings No she She was all here for it Sian's gone through Quite a bit For that to have upset her

Oh yeah Yeah she doesn't need us She's in a rough patch Now listen Emma We need something else from you Because we get every single Guest of ours To contribute to

Our list of things Better than drugs and dick Yeah Oh Yeah I just saw your eyes Line up Many things

Good Some people get freaked out. A lot of people can't name it. Our last guest, Sean Zeps, who I saw you were on Sean's podcast. Yeah. I just so doubt then. No, that's all right. Welcome to the club.

I wasn't listening to anything you said for the last 30 minutes. Of course, it's more challenging for Sean to think of something because he is dick inclined. Correct. I feel like we're out of the right person here. And he said that eating arse is something better than drugs and dick, which technically You have to say eating arse. It's so much

He said rimming. It's much more polite that way. The point of the list of things better than drugs and dick is just in case there's any young listeners of ours out there who might be in a place in their life where it's easy to become obsessed with partying and boys and think that that's the be all and end all. So it's just a little thing in life that you appreciate.

Give some examples because we ask all our guests from the start of the show. We've got a long list. Like Angela Bishop from Channel 10 said that it was her hot water bed that she liked. Yes, Abby Chatfield said getting the beginnings of an ingrown toenail cut out. Fuck, that's great. Before it gets too much. Christian Hull loves gardening.

He also clarified that there's not much better than dick. However, gardening was his answer. Eating streaky bacon in bed, said Kate Langbrook. What? Just things like fresh bed linen, whatever it may be. Do you know what? For me, it's like anything that involves potatoes. Oh, yum.

For example. I'm sorry, but if you're having a bad day and someone makes a really soft buttery mashed potato, put some cheese in it, that's going to fix it. I'm not kidding. It fixes everything. That's true, actually. I haven't had that in ages. And boobs.

Tits, okay. That's so much better because drugs and dick, yes. Tits can go on the list. Yep. Fantastic. Titties. Love a good rack. That's what you should have said to Sian on the phone.

Just be like, babe. That's what I was like. to Sian on the phone. Just be like, babe. That's what I was like. Do you predominantly? I was trying to be polite. You're bad for my team, girlfriend. You won't have this happen again. Just women. Spend your time with some great women as well.

Amen. Yeah. But mashed potato. Mashed potato or women. Or feminine energy. What about a good jacket potato when you've got like the bits of bacon and shit in there and they sort of cut it open? Yum.

I make my, I call them baked potatoes. This is, I don't know if this is going to be, I don't know why it would be controversial, but I stick some holes in a potato and then I stick it in the microwave. How long for? Like four minutes. And it cooks it? Yeah. Oh, is that what the hole is for?

Oh. I don't know why I stick holes in it. My mum told me to do that when I was like 12 and I just kept doing it. It'll explode if you don't. Ah, that's right. You've got to let the steam escape. Yeah, it does. Yeah, no, that's not controversial. That's fucking clever. Okay, then you cut it in half.

Tell me how you prepare it and serve it. Don't cut it fully in half. Sorry, you're not an animal. Jesus. I stack it in the middle very carefully. Just open it a little bit. Are we just talking about the potato? I know, I was like... Fill it with some always cheese.

Always cheese. A basic one would just be melted cheese, some herbs. But sometimes. A bit of sour cream. Oh, a bit of sour cream. Yeah, chives. Like some beans, whatever's around. Beans.

Noodles. I'm not kidding. You lost us both. Noodles? She's like, yeah, maybe. Noodles. Maybe a leg of ham. Fairy floss.

Where do you draw the line? Maybe an egg. Should I sell my own potato place? Absolutely. With fairy floss. No, that won't sell. I'm so sorry. I don't want you to lose money.

I feel like you just think it wouldn't, but think about it. True. I went to a frozen yogurt place for the first time in a long time. Back in my day, toppings were like chocolate sauce, M&Ms, and I went there and they're like, here's half a papaya. I'm like, what a stupid topping. Like they're like, here's half a papaya. I'm like, what a stupid topping. Like apple pie chunks. Here's half a papaya?

Half a papaya. I went to one. I got right to the end. And right before the till, there was like an oven, like a warmer. I'm like, oh, what goes in here? He goes, sorry, mate. All out of fresh brownie. We'll get another in half an hour.

They bake a brownie sheet. And then if it's ready in time, they just take a chunk out of it and put it in the fro-yo. And you can just put bits of brownie in there. What's so bad about that? They're going to start adding microwave potatoes. That's my point. I bet. People will listen and be like, why didn't I think of that?

You know what's going to happen in six years when those aliens come? Six years? How are you guys going to survive? Can you explain that? Where did you hear that? I heard it from Brandon Scott. Right. Who's Brandon Scott?

Oh, okay. Makeup guru. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A real duo there. Yeah, one day we were sitting in a hotel and he said, I have something to tell you. And it was that we've all been distracted because actually what's going to happen is the aliens are coming in six years.

Why six? I don't know. I love that you just took Brandon's word for it. You were like, all right then. Do you know what? I use it as a little thing now that I'm like, why not say that? Why not tell this person how I feel? Why not do this?

Because guess what? Aliens are coming in six years. Do what you want to do. Oh, that's good. So the threat of aliens is just a seize the day reminder. That's a good thing, I guess. I just think everyone needs that. And now I wake up in the morning and it's like, should I do this, Emma?

Yes, you should. Because in six years you might not have the choice. That sounds really sad. It's not sad. I've got six years. I'll be walking. I'm terrified of them. No, I'm not.

You probably are one. Wow. You're a bit judgmental of what you think aliens are. That's true. I did put them into a – You really boxed them in there. Well, no, because I could have gone, but instead I gave them a dialect.

I actually respected them and insinuated that they would bring culture. I thought you were doing a bit of lickety-split. You'd be like... For once on this show, the majority in this room have slept with women. Why is it silent? Oh, yeah. I had to do the maths there. I was like, wait, what? Yeah. Oh, you've only slept with like one? Oh, yeah. I had to do the maths there. I was like, wait, what?

Yeah. Oh, you've only said with like one. Oh, two. Mitch, we don't say that. Huh? Why? Why do you not? Experience doesn't equal identity.

Is that true? What do you mean? No, but it's not my. No, it's not mine. No, I'm definitely not. That's true. Turn me off. Wink, wink.

We're winking. I'm going to start dating Sian. And then dump her in a... Oh, my God, you're dumping her in a people pleaser. She goes, I'm so sad about my breakup. And you're like, I'll marry you. It's fine. I'm on my way to Townsville.

I am. That's really grim. I'm going to take her to a fro-yo place and give her half a pie and break up with me. Brownie, potato and fro-yo. I'll join that company. Send me the link. Same. All right, Emma Horne, let's end on that note.

Make sure you check out Class of 07 on Amazon Prime Video. I heartily recommend it. It's the first time in a long time that I've just binged a show from start to finish in one night. What did you just say? I heartily recommend. Is that an expression? Isn't it?

I don't know. Watch the show. Hey, Jenna, can you? Oh, that's right. Oh, she's resigned. Well, it was lovely to meet you in person. In a hearty manner. That's what heartily means.

Heartily, yeah. It means like wholeheartedly, genuinely, sincerely. That's my new word. I heartily recommend. I heartily recommend it. Heartily. Heartily. No, like I heartily.

I heartily, sincerely thank you for having me on. Oh, pleasure. No worries. Shout out to my cast, actually, for 07. Shout them out. Shout them out. Best people in the world. Honestly, I'm very grateful to have them in my life now.

Who's your favourite? Oh, can't say them in my life now. Who's your favourite? Oh, I can't say there. Who's your favourite? The aliens! The aliens. I don't have a favourite because they would fucking kill me. Interesting. Yeah.

They're all my favourites in different ways. Let's put it that way. I know exactly what you mean. Yeah. Well, I'm happy to have it go on record that you're my favourite in the cast. Yeah, good call. Come for me, girls. You heard it first.

Come for me. You are my favourite. Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show. Goodbye, everyone. And we're starting again. Aliens are here. It's my alien brain.

I've been caught out. It should be more apocalyptic themed, okay? It kind of is. I've been caught out. Is that how they'd speak? That was good. I've been caught out. Does anyone else feel high speak? That was good. I've been cut out. Does anyone else feel high right now?

I do. I think, Emma, you've done something to us. There's something in the air con. Yeah. Something in the air con? What? That just sounds like... Air con.

People say, oh, there's something in the air. But the way you said it is if that's an expression that everyone says. Yeah, because it's freezing in here. Oh, there's something in the air con. I mean, honestly, I'm sure at some stage someone has hot boxed this studio before. So there might be something in the air con. Oh, there's something left over. The air con.

Oh, fuck. I love it. I love it. We're all high. It's all coming back to me now. Perfect episode to listen to on half speed. Which one? This one?

Yeah. The whole last 10 minutes. Has been pretty cooked. Well, when you think about it, if I had to summarise it, we've come up with a genius business plan to incorporate brownies and potatoes into frozen yoghurt. Oh, my God. We're stoners. Yeah, we are stoned.

We sound like we've got the munchies. I met my new neighbour and she said to me, oh, I hope you don't mind, my daughter, she's a lesbian and she smokes pot. And I went, don't excuse that. That's my dream friend. That's fantastic. You're like, she's a lesbian. She gave me puff, puff, puff,'t excuse that. That's my dream friend. That's fantastic. You're like, she's a lesbian. Give me puff, puff, puff, bitch.

I love that that comes first. Yes, I know. And I went, no, I don't. Yeah, why was that a factor? She's a lesbian and she smokes weed. Mum's clearly still trying to get over those two things. She's being progressive. Because she saw Hayden and I, my boyfriend, and went, oh.

I better warn them. Yeah, better warn them that she's a pot-smoking lesbian. I feel like if I ever have a girlfriend again, I'm going to introduce her and say, don't mind my girlfriend. She's a lesbian. Yes, yeah. I'm so sorry, but. All right.

Thank you for listening, everybody. Thanks, all. We'll see you in a week. Amazon Prime Video. Go get Class of 07. Yep. Heartily recommended by us, huh? Heartily.

Yes. See you guys very soon. Oh, you can get Emma Horne on Instagram at... You can get me. Yeah, it's Emma Horne, but three Ns in Horne, right? Yeah. They'll probably look you up and go, oh, yeah, I've seen one of her TikToks at some stage. Yeah, I reckon.

Anyway, love you, darling. Love you too. Aliens. Love you, Emma Horne. Have fun. See you in six years with the Aliens. See you in six years. I'll be alive, you won't.

And we'll see you next week, guys. See you then. Catch you then. 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.

This is our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it's not actually done. We keep talking shit. There's more. It's a secret from anyone that doesn't know about it, obviously, including Emma. We can't let her in on the secret if she doesn't know about it. No, because we all walked her out of the building and she's like, oh, do we want to go? And we can all leave.

I'm like, oh, we left something in the studio. See ya. Whereas if it's a guest who knows about the secret segment, they can stay. Exactly right. If you know, you know. And if you don't, you're fucked. I watched her show, but she clearly hasn't listened to mine. No, I feel like she did because sometimes you have to talk them through the, is it just

me, Bradley band. True. And she knew. She was like, no, I know. Which makes me feel like she knew and sometimes you have to talk them through the, is it just me, Bradley ban. True. And she knew. She was like, no, I know. Which makes me feel like she knew and she'd listen to the show. Yeah, maybe she did give it a listen. Who knows? You know how the show Class of 07, streaming now on Amazon Prime Video, is all about the 10-year reunion?

Yes. My 10-year reunion is next year. Doesn't that mean that yours is this year? Yeah. Yeah. 2023 is 10 years. I graduated in 2013. Get fucked.

So you have to go to your reunion. Yeah. They want me to organize it. Okay. So you won't be going to the reunion then? It just won't happen. Why do you have to organize it? Because I'm school captain.

Oh, that's so shit. Is that really? Who reached out to you and said it's on you to organize? I was at a wedding on the weekend and I was from like a school friend and a whole bunch of them were there and they're like, it's up to you! And I said, no it's not. That's like getting Katniss Everdeen to fucking reunite the Pan Am Games of whatever fucking year she did it. She won. She doesn't

have to rally. Yeah, isn't it like an official school thing? They'd probably work in conjunction with you, but it's not solely on you, is it? No, it's not an official school thing. It's outside of the school. The schools don't organise the reunions. It's like we didn't even, the school didn't even organise our formals or farewells. Oh, your school sucked.

Yeah, it did. We weren't a local school. No wonder you got in power. Yes. They're idiots. In power! I had no actual political power. You know that, right? I just... I wouldn't know. I've never been a school captain. Had influence. You didn't want to. Who was your school captain and what are they doing now? Well, it was weird.

We had Kurt Lovett, but we basically had an understudy school captain because he spent so much of the year away playing hockey. Oh. He was like representing hockey or something. So you had a vice captain? No, not officially. We just had one of the house captains would step in for him. I don't know.

Because there's four houses, you know, the sporting houses and whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why they chose one of those particular captains to be the understudy school captain, but he would always step in at assembly and shit when Kurt was off hitting pucks or whatever you do with hockey. Hitting pussy. Well, I was, yeah, hitting, actually I was at that point.

But, you know, they want me to organise it. I don't even know where to start, I guess. You wouldn't even remember the names of the people you went to school with. Like, you are the... No offence. Love ya, but you're the worst person to organise it. No, I remember... I don't remember current things.

My old memory's really good. Oh. Oh, that's the first time your phone's ever rung during a recording. What a shocking ringtone. It's also very loud. What is that? Sorry about that. Who is it?

I don't know. Is that your ringtone? Yeah. Oh, that's so uncreative. I know. Do you want to know how tragic this is? I was re-watching Offspring and that was Nina's ringtone. And I remember that used to be, back in the day, that used to be the generic ringtone

the iPhone came with. Yeah, it's all you got. Yeah. Well, there was options, but that was just the generic one. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. And I was like, do they still have that? Because that's not the default ringtone now.

Oh, good call. The default ringtone now is this one. Is that the default ringtone? Yeah, it says default next to it. But then if you scroll all the way down through all the ringtones, there's a section that says classic and you open that menu, it's all the old one. Oh, play Marimba, play Marimba.

I love Marimba. Oh, yeah, that was the default. Yeah. But anyway, I heard Nina Proudman's ringtone on Offspring, this one, and I was like, I kind of miss it. There's something nostalgic about it. So I made that my ringtone. Well, you know, I'm one of those dickheads that has a custom ringtone.

Do you? Yeah, this is mine, really. Oh, the 30 Rock thing. Of course. How can I forget? But I've got custom from my family. So when my dad calls. Why that?

Hilarious. When my mum calls. When one of both Rachel or Becky calls. But that would have taken you forever. It's actually not as straightforward as you would think making custom ringtones these days. No, but I bought these from iTunes, so it's easy. Oh.

Hayden calls. The good place. This is the good place. Okay, well, I actually did fuck around and make a custom ringtone because whenever my friend Oscar texted me, I wanted to hear this. Just him coughing. That took me at least half an hour. I had to download apps and upload it to iTunes and shit.

Do it again. Just him coughing. That's a dangerous cough. Is he okay? That's awful. Do you know what? It's a lot like you. Remember in the very first episode of this podcast, we did Coughing Fit Chicken.

Yes, I do. You used to be able to do the best guttural smoker's cough on command. Yes. And somewhere along the line, you lost your charm. Yeah. Oscar's lost it too. Isn't that funny? It's weird.

You just stopped being able to fake it on command. Maybe we were just ill. Or maybe I've severely fucked up both of your lungs by asking you to do it at the drop of a hat. Yeah, I think so. Just for my entertainment. Because I don't know why I find it so funny. You know, I've got custom text tones for everyone.

That's how I know. Do I have one? So you know which one to ignore? No, so I just mentally know who's texting me. But also, what kind of maniac are you? Why doesn't your phone on silent? It is most of the time. I also have an Apple Watch.

I don't know. I don't know where you are. Oh, by the way. Yeah. We did get a couple of things sent through to the text line during the week because you know how we wanted people to tell us what my rattle is? Oh, yeah. Something I commonly say.

Because mine was good call. Yes. You always say good call. Yeah. Of course. Hi, Mitches. Hannah from Regional WA. I've noticed that Mitchell Coombs says, that's gorgeous a lot.

Interesting. Which I do. And that, to be fair, I even noticed myself the other daybs says, that's gorgeous, a lot. Interesting. Which I do. And that, to be fair, I even noticed myself the other day that I say it too often. You do? Things that aren't fucking gorgeous in the sliders, I'll say, oh, that's gorgeous. Like the other day I was buying a schnitzel at the pub. And he's like, okay, a schnitzel and a riso, that'll be $22. And I was like, okay, great.

And then I pay past my phone. And then once it said approved, I went, gorgeous. Thank you. Like, what's gorgeous about anything that just occurred? Yeah, mainly Kunis is gorgeous. Not your schnitzel, actually. To be fair, that could work. It was.

That schnitzel was fucking gorgeous. I'm not going to lie. I'm with you on that. I find that odd. Yeah, it's kind of like the word amazing that gets thrown around a lot. Like, hey, can you just print that off for me? Amazing. Thank you. I just throw around gorgeous like it's kind of like the word amazing that gets thrown around a lot. Like, hey, can you just print that off for me? Amazing, thank you. I just throw around gourd just like it's nothing,

but I have noticed that myself, so that's no surprise to me. Is it just me or has Coombs – this person didn't put their name, but it just says, is it just me or has Coombs transitioned from saying darling to saying bub? Yes, you have. It's not that I'm not saying darling anymore, but I definitely have started saying bub unironically. I used to say it as a joke, like, oh yeah, right. I, but now I actually call people that like, thanks bub. Whenever someone

calls for an, is it just you? You do. You say it all the time. Yeah. I like it. I've started saying honey because Laura Verne, who I work with says, hi honey. And I now say it and I think it. I've started saying honey because Laura Verne, who I work with, says, hi, honey. And I now say it. And I think it's nice. It's endearing. Hi, honey. Oh, honey. Someone's sad. Say it again.

I'm trying to decide whether you can pull it off. Say something sad. Hi, my name's Sian. I've been broken up with. Oh, honey. Listen, I think what you need to do is. Yeah, okay. That sounded sincere.

Yeah. It depends on the tone. I don't reckon I could pull it off. Try. Hi, my name's Sian and my possum of a partner left me at a pub. Oh, honey. Yeah. No, it doesn't work as much with you.

That's why I go, oh, bub. I hate love. Sorry about that, bub. I hate doll. I've got a friend that goes, doll. It's deprecating. Doll? No.

Doll? Yes. Yes. Oh, doll. I completely agree. Yeah. Completely agree. Doll, doll.

Big distinction. Wasn't Emma lovely? What a sweetheart she is. Oh, completely agree. Yeah. Completely agree. Dahl, Dahl. Big distinction. Wasn't Emma lovely? What a sweetheart she is. Oh, my God. Absolutely gorgeous. Oh, I've done it again. Gorgeous. She's gorgeous.

But she is. She is gorgeous. She is erratic as well. Like a bit scattered and I love it. But not too much. No, in a good way. I find guests that are a bit all over the show. As I know you.

Really, really challenging. But that wasn't a challenge. It was chaotic, but not so much that I couldn't keep up. It was actually perfect. That's my, no offence, but that's my favourite guest we've had in a while. Or one of, I should say. Well, Mitch. Sean was brilliant for a different reason.

Sean's actually fantastic. But we're friends with Sean. It's different. You're all friends with Emma. So it is different when you're not meeting them for the first time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. True. But, you know, we will debrief after a guest when they leave and we will, you know, we'll give them a ranking of sorts, won't we?

I guess so. We do. It's true. Well, sometimes when we're mid-record, I'll just shoot you a certain look and you know exactly what that look means. That look means we're never fucking getting this person on the podcast ever again. Yep. Or you've got a look that means wrap. Move on. Like, don't ask any more fucking questions. Well, sometimes you don't catch that glance.

I know. I have to text you and say, wrap it up. He does. You text me. Oh, that's my- If you just search wrap in your message search, you'd find so many from me just being like, wrap now. Better wrap.

It'd be clouded by me asking Hayden if he also wants a Macca's wrap. It'd be all food. I've just searched wrap. Hayden if he also wants a Macca's wrap. It'll be all food. I've just searched wrap. Hayden says, not enough wraps for Goslamay. Do you want a wrap, says Hayden? Mum, oh, we're just having barbecue chicken wraps. I'm telling you, it's all food. I'm a slut for a wrap.

I had a wrap for breakfast and I had wraps for lunch. Isn't it funny that we call it a wrap? It's not what the product is. It's the act of what you're doing. Like you're wrapping it. Like it's not a pita bread or a flatbread. It's a wrap. Yeah, like if you want a cup of tea, you're not going to say,

can I have a pour? Totally. Exactly right. What else do you call the act? You know what I'm trying to say? What's another food item? Like you wouldn't say, oh, can I have your drive keys? Yes.

No, of course not. I've got to go move the drive. Yeah. In Melbourne, they say instead. Yeah. In Melbourne they say instead of sausage sizzle they say sandwich in bread. Sausage in bread yeah. Sausage in bread which is fucked.

Part of my comedy show last year I did a whole bit about people bum puffing cigarettes. Oh the bee's back. The bee? Oh yeah. For fuck's sake. Why does that always happen

in an ADD brief? I don't know. Have you figured out the source of the buzzing? No. Can you just aimlessly kick under there? You didn't kick anything. I just kicked the air.

Oh! Okay, stop kicking now. That was so bad. Imagine if we went off air. The panel just rose from the desk. Okay, that didn't happen. Anyway, what was I saying? Fuck.

Rose from Titanic. I don't think I was. Your comedy show. There was a whole thing in my comedy show last year about people who bum puff cigarettes. Like they take an inhale, but they don't actually inhale deeply enough for it to have an impact. They just let the smoke into their cheeks and then blow it out. That's a waste of a cigarette. Yes.

And at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, I said, people who bum puff, and everyone just looked at me blankly. And I was like, please tell me you know what that is. And then I explained what I was describing, and they said, oh, we call that bum sucking. I was like, oh, because that's better. That's way more fucking classy than bum puffing. Wait, in Victoria, a bum puff is a bum suck. That's apparently, that's what one of them said. That's better. That's way more fucking classy than bum puffing. Wait, in Victoria, a bum puff is a bum suck.

That's apparently, that's what one of them said. That's fucked. But they also don't call, okay, after the Melbourne shows, I added a whole bit into the comedy show about fucked things that people in Melbourne say. So let's just say you're in public and you think fucker could go a water. Don't want to go to the convenience store and pay for a bottle. I'm just going to go to this public thing that I can easily access water. What do you call that thing in public?

Easy access water. Oh, a bubbler. Thank you. They call it a drinking tap. Very literal in Melbourne, aren't they? They are. They are. They may as well call shoes hard socks.

They're that fucking literal. That's very true. What else was there? There was, okay, let's just say you're going to school. And on this particular day at school, in exchange for a gold coin donation, you are not required to wear your uniform. What do you call that day? It's Mufti Day.

It's Mufti Day. Thank you. Yes. They call it Free Dress Day. Very literal, yet again. But also, it's not free. There's a gold coin donation, bitch. It's not free last time I checked. I can't remember what else there was. That's funny.

No, I've heard a couple of those. And that whole bit in my comedy show, I had to actually ask, I had to speak to Petho here because he's from Melbourne and I know that he says all this shit that's incorrect. And I'm like, hey, give me a few examples so I can roast you on stage. Another thing, I didn't even realise that Melbourne had a different accent to Sydney. You can tell there's a different Aussie accent.

They can't even pronounce their own city. No. They say Melbourne. Melbourne. The E letter in every word is pronounced A. Yeah. Like Cardinal George Pal. Oh, what are you going to have for dinner? Let's check the manu. Oh, I haven't noticed that much. Manu. Manu. Maybe they're talking about Manu Fidel from Back Kitchen Rules. Who knows? Yeah, check the manu. Listen, that Emma girl really burnt me out. I'm exhausted.

You know when you just pass the point of no return? It was like being high for you then because you went feral for a bit. Like, oh, in the time it took us before ADD brief to take it downstairs, you went feral and now you're coming down. Yeah. Now I'm higher. I'm yawning. All right, well well we can go

I hope Jenna's alright Yeah God first time getting COVID Poor thing She'll be fine Should we call her and ask if she needs us to drop anything off? No let's just Wrap up the show

Oh we'll call her in so she can do her part Oh the synchronised bit Yeah That you guys do Yeah Oh no I feel compelled Call her but I feel compelled. Call her, but I feel compelled to ask her if she needs me to drop anything off while I'm here.

Compelled? Yes, I do feel compelled. She must be going through hell. Dialing. I wonder if her apartment has a rancid cat smell. Ew. Opera Tennis, New South Wales Health. Hello?

Hello, Jenna. Is this Jenna Benson speaking? Yes. This is Paul Tell from New South Wales Health. How are you feeling? We understand you were recently diagnosed with a coronavirus. Yes, that's true. I'm feeling a bit off, but, yeah, I'm okay.

Now, we hear you work with the radio program Johnson & Mander. I've researched the recent drop in their ratings. Would that be due to the fact that you're absent during coronavirus infection? Well, they actually went up. Well, delirium is a common symptom of COVID-19. False thoughts and lies. Jenna, we can understand. I Googled your thoughts here and it says you have a net worth of over $14 million. You don't actually

fall into the category for public health. And considering you have a service suite as your living quarters, there's nothing we can actually offer you from the state government. However,

Bronwyn Bishop would like to provide you with a helicopter for private use. Thank you so much. No worries. It's on its way now, so just let us know that it arrives, please. Thank you. I can't see it yet, though. I believe I can hear it through the phone.

Yeah, I can hear it. Is there anything else we can help you with today, Jenna? Oh, dear. The pilot has just told me that you're getting on the plane. Is that correct? That's correct. I'm walking on now. Goodbye, Jenna.

Goodbye. She's getting quiet, of course, because she's leaving. Put her back on. Oh. Jenna? Hello? Oh, she's getting quiet, of course, because she's leaving. Put her back on. Jenna. Hello. Do you need anything dropped off, seeing as you're isolating? No, I've pretty much got everything I need.

You got your zinc? You got your vitamin C? Yes, I do, actually. Great. I bought some ages ago because I'd never got COVID. I've just had it sitting there, So now I can finally use it. Oh my God, you doomsday prepped before you got COVID. That's brilliant.

That's so Jenna. What are your symptoms? Sore throat, like blocked nose, getting hot and cold, croaky voice. You vaccinated, yes? Yes. And so you tested positive today, which means if you're doing a full seven days of isolation, you probably won't be here next week. Is that correct?

Oh, we don't know that. Because it's not the law to do full seven days now, is it? No, but I could test negative before then, which I'm hoping to do. Okay, well, then we will see you next week. Also, Jenny, your rat test, we saw the image of it, was really strong. Like it was a strong red line. It was almost like she fudged it. Yes, it's got a red pen and a ruler.

Yeah, which makes me think that you had it. Would you like me to film myself doing one? Save your energy, Jenna, no. Like you must really have it. Those are some fucking dense red lines on that rat test. And it came up instantly. Like, you know how the liquid goes up and the line just appeared? I'm like, what?

Yeah, that happened to me too. How long did it take? Instantly? Yeah, that's what she just said. How long did it take? Instantly, yeah. So would you say it was instant? Yeah, I'd say instant, like right away, yeah.

Like pretty much straight away? I'd say, yeah. So if someone were to ask how long it took, you'd probably say? I'd probably say instantly. Interesting. If you had to estimate a time in terms of seconds, was it just like right away? I'd say like straight away. Don't even bother.

Put the stopwatch down, asshole. You don't need it. It was instant. Yeah. Right. Just instantly, just straight away. Do you have a favorite variety of coffee, Jenna? What?

I wanted you to say instant. The brain doesn't work the same on COVID. I didn't get that joke either. That's all right. I've got COVID brain. It would have been great if she'd picked that up and said instant. Why did you take a test? Were you sniffly?

Yeah, I just felt like I had a little cold. I took one on the weekend as well and I was fine and it was negative. And then I thought last night, oh, I'm getting a bit of a fever. What's going on here? I was fine. And then this morning. You crashed really quick.

Yeah, it happened instantly. Yeah, well, Jenna, even though you're feeling shit, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. That's all. So we do. What was that half-speed shit? Can you try that again, please? Yeah, okay, let's do it.

Three, two, one. So we do. So we do. Oh, no, give up. Maybe I'm getting COVID. So we do. So we do. Oh, no, I give up. Maybe I'm getting COVID, because can you hear how husky my voice is today? Yeah. Shit. It is pretty husky.

Well, yes, we do hope it made you feel 3% better. We're out of here. We'll see you guys next week for our last episode for a little bit, because we'll be back. Don't worry. We'll have a two-week break-ish, and then we'll come back straight after. Yeah.
