This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Hello you!
Hello you!
Go!
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
I actually love doing laundry.
What the fuck is a small?
Hayden's like, should we do the smalls?
I was like, what?
Which means Andy's in socks.
Your smalls still aren't smalls, Adam.
Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Ah, how are you?
How are you?
Oh my god, you know what?
That is so appropriately timed, because for the first time ever, I did the washing today.
Did ya?
Yeah.
Yeah, I felt bad listening to that, because I'm like, that is skewing very fat-shamey of me.
But the joke was staring me in the fucking face, as if I couldn't make it.
If I laugh at it, rule of thumb is it's okay.
Exactly.
If I start crying, that's fucked.
Yeah.
But I'm okay with it.
I did the washing and, yeah, for reasons out of my control, I had to do them.
And it was so fun.
I really, I'm not bullshitting.
I know this sounds like, oh, Elitis, but in a relationship, you all have your own roles, right?
So I have my roles and washing isn't one of them.
But you pull your weight in other ways, like driving everywhere.
Driving everywhere, paying for the majority of things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
That's fair.
Emotional support.
Well, the joy of laundry.
You're missing out.
But yeah, because that's the thing.
I called my mum, and I'm like, which hole does it go in?
And she said, I don't want to see that.
And I went, oh, sorry.
Like, which sauce?
What are they called?
Not sauces.
What are they?
Detergent?
Soaps, yes.
Do you use the liquid or the powder?
Oh, that's the thing.
See, I don't buy them.
We've got the liquids.
Two liquids, and I also have those beads that you put in
that make them smell really good.
That might actually be a bit beyond my fucking recognition as well.
I don't know anything about beads and liquids.
I just chuck the powder in, and if I'm doing a load of whites,
I've got the Sards Ultra Whitening.
Oh, I'll bring you some of the beads in. I got them at Costco. I'll put them in a little
Ziploc for you.
Okay.
Hold on, hold on. So the whites and the blacks can't go together, but colours can go with
blacks.
Oh yeah, I usually chuck colours in with blacks. That's fine. But you know what happened to
me the other day? I threw in a load of colours and there might have been a pair of white
socks in there.
You put colours, yeah, okay.
And I was just like, whatever, it's a sock.
And I had this new red shirt and then the socks are now pink.
I thought that was a myth.
Myth, yeah.
Is that real?
I thought that was a myth and now I've got so much pink shit.
Oh, because you had one red sock in there.
No, one red shirt.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Let me show you.
Even like a thing that was in there in my load of colours was like a stripy blue
and white shirt.
The fucking stripes are now pink.
Oh no.
So like everything that had a hint of white is now pink.
I was like, I thought that was something you see in the movies.
I didn't know that actually happened.
At least you're gay.
Imagine if you were a tradie and you had to rock up to work and everything went, all your
whites went pink.
Yeah.
And then I have a shirt that was like a really bright coloured pinky mauve sort of colour.
And then it's kind of faded. So I might chuck it in with the red shirt
to re-dye it pink.
That'll be handy.
I took a photo to send to my mum because she was so proud of me.
Oh, wow.
Look, I've hung them up.
Pricekeeper Jenna is of course here as well.
Hi.
Hi, Pricekeeper Jenna.
Hello.
Look at my washing.
Oh, wow, that's impressive.
Here's 27-years-old Jenna.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Oh, there's some skid marks on that one.
I can't believe you've had someone doing your washing your whole life.
I'm assuming your mum would have done it and then your partner.
Correct.
But I'm telling you, you're missing out.
It's quite rewarding.
That's my point, is that I really enjoyed it.
The sun's on you.
I had a podcast in, and I was like, hold on.
I'm kind of getting a bit of exercise here.
I'm going up and down.
The sun was beaming on my face.
I'd just done my skincare, so it was like baking it in.
I really enjoyed it.
And I woke up, and the sun was out, and I'm like, oh i'm gonna do washing today yeah it's so good it's also like a battle of
keeping on top of it yeah i don't know who i feel like i'm battling with but i'm like oh my god i'm
winning because i'm on top of it once it starts piling up the laundry pile that becomes very
overwhelming yeah but if i'm on top of it all the time like my laundry hamper that has the three
slots whites blacks colors yeah it's very very rarely full oh really because you're on top of it
yeah sometimes i probably do too small of a load because i'm like nah i like being on top of it oh
poor sean um and we know you like being on the bottom of it um interesting so you don't have a
dryer no we do have a dryer i'll be you hung it out just cause yeah because we have a hybrid washer
dryer it's the same it's in the same machine i heard they're good they're good but you have you
can't do you can't wash you can't do wash put it in the dryer and then do another wash load you
have to just leave it in i see so you kind of have to it doubles the time of doing it all so if i
were to do it again i would get a washer and a dryer but the washing line is right there and
it's in the sun all day it's so Do you know what's fucked about washing lines though?
What?
When you sort of fold a T-shirt over and you kind of fold it in the middle and it's hanging that way on the clothesline
and then the bloody sun bleaches this line across your shirt.
Yes.
No, I use coat hangers.
I use coat hangers for everything.
Really?
All my shirts are coat hung.
Don't think that works.
They're on hangers.
I'd love to make code if he's hung.
No, we got it.
Thank you so much.
So then once they dry, you put them straight in the wardrobe.
That's fucking good.
That's actually really smart.
That's fucking good.
Yeah.
I love that.
It's not my invention.
And then you don't have to iron it either.
No, no, of course not, because it hangs,
because it's heavy when it's wet.
Oh, my God, that's smart.
The sun bakes it in.
I'm teaching you guys and it's my first day of washing.
Can we please do a laundry hack segment?
I'm not joking.
Run by me?
I would love it.
No, just everyone listening right now.
Maybe we'll do it next week.
Okay.
A couple of Mitches, or send us a text, 0412 712 092.
That surprised me.
It shocked me.
I didn't even know how that happened.
I forgot about that.
I want to hear laundry hacks.
Yes.
Do you ever have a pair of black shorts or something,
and after a few washes they go a bit grey,
or like the seam is not as black as it was?
I got this stuff to do with your load of blacks.
It's like a special detergent that is meant to maintain the black colour.
Interesting.
Oh, really?
It's probably a fucking scam.
I haven't noticed a drastic difference.
My nan growing up, her washing machine used to sound like she poured marbles in it.
And, you know, her father was in the war, so I don't know how she didn't get PTSD flashbacks
of fucking Normandy.
But you'd walk in and it wouldn't be...
What is going on with Nan's washer?
Sometimes it starts spinning so fast you think it's going to be airborne.
Oh, my God.
Totally.
It's a propeller.
No wonder you girls sit on them for pleasure.
Jenna.
Is that a thing?
Oh, you can speak to this, Jenna.
I've never done that.
But people do it.
I've heard of people doing it.
Oh, we are learning today.
I might give that a whirl.
And you know what?
What a shame that my fucking dryer is suspended in the air.
Oh, yeah, same with mine.
Oh, damn it.
You could sort of do a handstand against it, Jenna,
and feel some sort of pleasure, I'm sure.
No, my nan had woolen balls that she'd put in her washing
and it would stop with the static and it would iron out wrinkles.
So she said you don't need to iron them if you put balls
in your washing machine.
What type of balls?
Sometimes she'd put tennis balls if she ran out of wool balls.
But I don't think the wrinkles that require ironing,
I don't think they come from the
washing.
They come from the drying process normally.
Yeah, but apparently the balls would heat up and then because they were like hot iron
balls, they'd like hit the shirt and roll out the kinks.
She swore by it.
I don't know.
Laundry hacks.
Next week or whenever we end up doing it, I'm sure someone will have it.
Or if you can't be fucked ironing a shirt, you just chuck it in the dryer with an ice
cube for like 10 or so minutes and then it comes out way less crinkled.
Okay, I didn't know that.
You put an ice cube in the dryer?
Yeah, it does sound like someone's doing a drive-by shooting for a little bit with the
ice cube rattling around, but it does the trick.
Wow.
See, this is fantastic.
Wow.
We should save it for next week.
Okay, save it for next week.
We're going to have no hacks left for next week.
I love this.
Are we both good otherwise?
Yeah, nah.
Yeah, yeah. Feeling good. Yeah. Good. both good otherwise? Yeah, nah. Yeah, yeah.
Feeling good.
Yeah.
Good.
If it's your first time listening.
Yes, thanks.
Yes.
No, I'm good.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Couldn't be better.
That's good.
Truly.
If it is your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every week we start the show the same way, with something we notice, something we hate
or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know my age, I don't know his, And we just throw shit against the wall and hope it sticks.
It doesn't always stick, does it? More often than not it sticks. Sometimes when it doesn't stick we just
kind of force it in. We make it stick. Alright, shall we jump in with the show?
Sure, who's going to go first? Yeah, mine's rather
mine can go first. It's rather fresh.
Quite literally fresh. And top of mind. And I just finished's rather fresh, quite literally fresh. Okay.
And top of mind.
And I just finished some of it, so I thought.
And you could easily forget.
Is it just me or?
Do you also have a cuisine or a food that you hyperfixate on
for a small brief period of time?
Absolutely.
Yeah, but it kind of ruins it for you if you do that.
Do you think?
Yeah. Oh, I'm currently on fish. I'm in love with fish. What sort of fish? I'm currently on eggs. Yeah, but it kind of ruins it for you if you do that Do you think? Yeah
Oh, I'm currently on fish
I'm in love with fish
I'm currently on eggs
Oh, I've been on my egg era
I've had many egg eras and I'm back in it now
Because of the meal plan I'm following
Yes, the protein
This is good while it lasts, but I could easily become sick of them
No, see, I'm on fish, like white fish
And I bake it in a bit of baking paper
Or I'll get crumbed fish
Or anywhere that has fish, I'll on fish, like white fish, and I bake it in a bit of baking paper. Or I'll get crumbed fish.
Or anywhere that has fish, I'll get it.
Fish burgers, fish tacos.
The little frozen McCain's fish that you put in the microwave.
Microwave?
Incredible.
Yeah, I don't have a microwave, so I've got to oven it.
But you can microwave it in the bag. You need to get a microwave.
I do.
I will.
I will, eventually.
I don't know if I'd trust microwave fish.
But it's coming from frozen, I suppose.
Yeah, I guess, because I microwave chicken things.
Chicken breasts. Yeah, it's fine. Microwave is safe. It's like radiation.
But I am obsessed with it and it's all I think about. For lunch, I had
fish in a curry and it was brilliant. And I just worry,
Mitch, you're right, that I'm going to get over it. Yeah, no, because I've had this happen too.
I was hyper fixated on fucking fish, particularly tuna.
Oh, I'm allergic, so I can't eat it.
Tuna's fish.
Yeah, but I'm allergic to the tuna.
I'm allergic to other fish.
I'm not allergic to all fish, just tuna.
Wow.
I really am learning shit today.
Did you not know that?
I thought that tuna was more referring to the form that it comes in,
like a pureed fish.
I didn't realise there. I thought that tuna was more referring to the form that it comes in, like a pureed fish. I didn't realise there was a particular fish.
You thought tuna was the act of processing fish?
Yeah.
No, tuna is a fish.
Tuna is a fish, Mitchell.
So I can fuck off to Pet Barn right now,
get myself a little bowl that you'd put a goldfish in and put some tuna in.
You know, beef comes from a cow.
It's not just meat that's been ground up.
Yeah, but what type of cow?
Beef applies to all cow. It's not just meat that's been ground up. Yeah, but what type of cow? Beef applies to all cows.
I thought that tuna was just any fish, but you mash it up like fucking cat food.
That's really funny.
Is it just me?
That really is just you.
But anyway, I ate a lot of fucking tuna in year 11 when I was trying to lose weight.
And it is good for that, but also it just came a day where it just made me want to vomit.
Oh, God, yeah.
Because I'd take it to school and everything.
I was that annoying kid that was having stinky fucking tuna at lunch.
You know what?
I reckon I can tell what kind of variety of tuna can someone eats just by looking at them
and knowing their personality.
You know the John McCain or whatever the name is.
Who's the guy that does the fish?
Ah, McCain.
You've done it again.
No, the who's the fish boy.
John West. John West. They have all the varieties. You can get fish guy that does the fish? Ah, McCain. You've done it again. No, who's the fish boy? John West.
John West.
They have all the varieties.
You can get fish in fucking Maybelline if you want it.
Mitch, you were a lemon pepper.
No, I'm not because I'm off tuna now.
I ruined myself in year 11.
If you did in year 11, you'd go the lemon pepper.
I don't think I did.
There was like a chilli one, wasn't there?
Oh, sweet chilli.
Yeah.
And I got her in those snack pack things where it would come with a couple of crackers and the tuna on the other side.
Yes.
Yeah.
Kind of like those yoga pouches things, but it was tuna.
Oh, I love the yoga pouch.
What are they called again?
Yoga pack.
Snack pack or snackables.
No, yoga.
Snackables.
No.
Remember Go-Gurts?
Yes, of course.
Rip my head off, suck my guts out.
I'm like, shit, that's what explains my kink of doing just that.
Oh, my God. Just a joke, everybody. I'm like, shit, that's what explains my kink of doing just that. Oh, my God.
Just a joke, everybody.
I know.
Let me Google it.
And it had the monkey on it.
It had King Kong on it.
Yes.
Yogo.
Yeah, we established that.
We were trying to figure out what it was called,
just a Yogo snack pack or something.
You know how there was either Choc Chips or the M&M's?
Uh-huh, yes, you're right, you're right.
Yeah, original Yogo mix. Yogo mix with M&M. Yeah Yes, you're right. You're right. Yeah, original yoga mix.
Yoga mix with M&M.
Yeah, mum wouldn't buy those because they were too expensive.
But I think the truth is I was just too fat.
And she's like, this is the last fucking thing you need.
She's like, your brother can have them because he goes to footy training.
But not you, Tubby.
Not you.
Hey.
You can have your tuna and what do you call it?
Cracker.
Yeah, tuna and cracker.
Yuck.
Someone just sent me a photo of a fucking fish.
Who did?
Someone.
Is someone eavesdropping on us right now?
Was I just talking about fish?
You were talking about tuna and fish and et cetera.
Who is it?
Who's listening?
It's a fish.
That's really weird, guys.
Well, who texted you that?
I don't want to read their number out.
Oh, so it's not saving your contacts.
But they've messaged the IJM line.
How did they?
That's scary.
I'm really scared.
Are we live on any sort of device?
Are you live on your fucking socials?
No.
They've texted IJM line.
I'm going to call them.
Yeah.
I'm really scared.
That's really scary.
Have we accidentally gone live somewhere?
I'm not authorized on your service.
Oh, because the IJM phone number doesn't have credit.
We just receive messages.
I'm going to call them from the studio then.
I'm really scared.
That's scary.
How do they know we were talking about fish?
Oh, my God.
It surely is a coincidence because coincidences are real.
Who the fuck would text us a photo of a fish for no reason?
That's freaky.
That was really scary.
I'm scared.
Hello?
Hi, who's this?
Bella?
Hi, Bella.
Did you just send a photo of a fish to me?
Maybe.
That's fine, but why?
Yeah, please explain.
Why not?
Please explain why.
Elaborate.
Why did you have the thought to send me a photo of a fish at this exact moment?
You know what?
I'm just kind of in the mood for a bit of fishiness.
Do you know who you're talking to, Bella?
I think I do.
It's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Because we were in the middle of talking about fish on the podcast
and then you texted us a photo of fish and we freaked out being like,
who's pocket dialed Instagram live?
What?
I'm really scared.
Have you ever had been told that you have psychic abilities?
I have not, but maybe I do. Bella, what the fuck made you think to send a photo of a fish?
Bella, I shit you.
I don't know.
It just made me giggle.
Are you listening right now?
No.
Then why the fuck did you message the number?
Bella, I shit you not, when you listen to the latest episode,
you're going to hear it happen live where I'm discussing my love for fish
and then you text a photo of a fish.
So we all freaked out thinking that we were being live streamed.
Absolutely not.
I was just talking to Callum and I just found a fish meme
and thought I'd send it to you guys.
Well, thank God you sent it, Bella,
because that fish made this talking point far more interesting
than it was before.
We were just talking about Cherry's love of fish.
I bet you can't wait to tune into this episode, darling.
I'm so excited.
All right, thank you.
All right, well, thanks for that, darling.
Thank you.
Sorry, Channel, fuck off.
I just need a second.
What the fuck was that?
I'm scared.
I'm still freaked out.
I almost don't believe her.
And it's a fish, and it was sent at the perfect time.
Yeah, on the dot.
I'm so glad that when she sees a photo that she finds funny,
her next reaction is, I'm going to send it to Wittgen.
Yes.
Why not?
But she said it's a meme, but it's just a photo of a fish.
It seriously is not a meme.
It's just a photo of a fucked. Seriously, it's not a meme.
It's just a photo of a fucked fish.
Well, there goes my fish habit.
It's been kicked.
I'm no longer hungry.
I told you the fish eras don't last long. All it took was Bella.
Wow.
All right.
Well, my fish era is officially done.
What was that?
Jenna, turn your Nokia off, please.
I thought it was a different sound effect.
What were you trying to play?
MSN?
Or is that the old Facebook Messenger?
Do it again.
I think that's old Facebook.
No, that's MSN.
No, I think that's MSN.
No, MSN is...
There.
Yeah, that's...
How did you find that so quickly?
I'm a psychic.
No, it's next to it.
What's that?
That's sending an iMessage.
So that's Facebook.
That's old Facebook.
Newspaper. Mitch is right. God, that makes me feel horny. What's that? That's sending an iMessage. So that's Facebook. That's old Facebook.
Mitch is right.
God, that makes me feel horny.
Because I was like messaging.
Like I was like, you know, in year eight.
Were you sexting on MSN?
No, I didn't have a webcam.
Were you MS sexting?
But that's how like when I get an erection,
this is the sound that plays in my head.
Like up, up, up.
You know, it happens in three sort of ways.
Well, after all my Viagra update struggles,
the sound that plays in my head is...
It works!
How did you find that so quick?
I'm on fire with sound effects today.
Do you know what?
This ties in perfectly to my Is It Just Me.
Oh, really?
I'm not even fucking with you.
Okay.
All right.
Let's go.
Let's do it.
Is it just me or?
Am I due for another silly goose era?
Oh.
Oh.
I feel you're pretty silly as it is.
You worried?
Well, thank you.
But I've definitely been sillier.
Let me tell you.
You have?
You have?
Yes. I can think of sillier times.
So I was thinking about this the other day because I went back to the college that I used to study at, AFTRS, which is Australian Film Television Radio School.
And I was back there doing a lecture and I don't know what it was about this time because I've been teaching there for a few years, but I don't know what it was about this time.
I just had all these flashbacks to the year 2017 when I was a student there.
Oh, my God.
And I was a fucking goose.
Yeah.
I was just so silly.
I was so random.
You were a silly bugger because that's when we met.
No, when we met was when I decided to rein it in because I just started a brand new job
and I was working full time and I'm like, come on, Mitchell, you're an adult now.
He was much sillier.
Thank you, Jenna.
Yes, he was a silly goose.
Also, wasn't I just a bit of a mess?
Yeah, like a messy silly goose.
Don't give yourself too much credit.
You were pretty messy when I met you.
Oh, yes, I've definitely fluctuated in terms of my messiness.
So explain what a silly goose era is.
I don't know.
I just feel like I was such a silly goose and like my friends
and I would just do stupid shit and it was just something about growing up and getting older where you're like, oh, I actually missed that.
I remember one time we lit a toothbrush on fire.
Yeah, I did light outdoor patio furniture on fire at university as well.
That's arson, but sure, silly goose, silly goose.
And I don't know, it was just things like when I lived in a share house and my friends and I would, you know, have a bit of a green cigarette.
Uh-huh.
Yep.
Very silly goose.
And then we'd be very hungry all of a sudden.
And then we'd order shit loads of McDonald's and eat it on my bed because we were in a share house and everyone, all the randoms in the house were using the lounge room.
Correct.
Just things like that.
And the whole time I felt guilty for being silly.
And I was like, oh, come on, Mitchell, you've got to grow up and get on the straight and narrow.
Now that I'm on the straight and narrow, I'm like, I'm bored.
I'm fucking bored.
How many silly goose moments do you have in a week?
Not as many as I used to.
Oh, no.
Does Sean have, does he like the silly goose moments?
I think I've brought it out of him.
Out of the two of us, I'm definitely far more stupid.
I was going to say, he's very, he's not serious, but I feel like you'd have to convince him
to be a silly goose.
No, it actually doesn't take much convincing.
Really?
Yeah, no.
You'd have to dig very deep to find his silly goose side either.
Really?
His goose is quite shallow, near the surface.
I think I'd bring it out of him.
I just feel like growing up, you get a bit bored because also everyone around me, we're
all on the same page.
All these friends that I was silly with once, we're all on the same page now.
We're all calming down and becoming more adult and sensible.
And I'm like, I just every so often want to be a bit silly.
You used to Tegan people where you used to drive your car and then you used to scream
out the window looking for an imaginary girl named Tegan as if she was lost.
Yeah, we were looking for a missing child named Tegan just to confuse people.
I don't do that anymore.
You could.
There's nothing stopping you from Tegan-ing.
It's a bit depressing Tegan-ing by yourself, isn't it? Okay, well, we could go with you. I'll't do that anymore. You could. There's nothing stopping you from teaganing. It's a bit depressing teaganing by yourself, isn't it?
Okay, well, we could go with you.
I'll teagame with you.
Really?
Yeah, I'll teagame with you.
Why don't we think of something, a new silly goose activity we can do
that also aligns with our adult personalities.
We head to 30.
I think that's a great idea.
Like what?
Well, we've already set fire to a toothbrush.
Yes.
Well, I haven't.
I want to let the government know that I was not involved in that situation.
Why the fuck did we set fire to a toothbrush?
It just felt like it.
Why don't we know?
Oh, I remember that.
Yeah.
I remember now.
We opened the window and just lit it on fire.
Was there no reason behind it?
Oh, there was a reason.
Oh.
Oh, what was it?
It was a threat.
Pardon me?
Yeah.
Well, think about it.
If you're sitting in the same room as someone and you want to make it clear to them that
you ought not be fucked with.
Yeah.
Yes.
If you just light something on fire in your hand and make direct eye contact with them
the whole time, they're going to get the message and they can't go to HR because you didn't
do anything to them.
Oh my God.
Stupid in jokes like that.
Silly.
I just feel like the whole point of this is that you've got to stay in touch
with your inner child despite growing up.
That's all.
Because I enjoyed being silly then.
There's no reason I need to stop being silly now.
Why don't you walk out there?
I can get you a wireless mic.
No, I'm not doing that.
No, do it.
Come on here at the Kiss team.
No, see, my version of being a silly goose is daring other people to do shit
and I come up with the silly ideas and let other people do it
for my entertainment.
Okay, so you want me to be a silly goose,
but by you telling me what to do, that'll instill the silly goose energy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
Okay, so what would you like me to do?
We've got, I can do, I can be silly.
Oh, my God, were you looking for a goose sound effect?
The whole time.
We could go out there and just pretend oh my god prince charles is dead
that's not no no okay sorry sorry sorry that's so offensive oh what says the two people that
lit a fucking toothbrush on fire here's an example of silly goose when i was doing my old podcast not
my cup of tea one of my co-hosts ashlyn She did a whole episode from a tree outside With a portable mic
For no fucking reason
We just said, do it from a tree, it'll be fun
So let's find something equally random like that to do next week
Okay, are you going to bring it or shall I bring it?
It's your area
We can brainstorm
Okay, let's brainstorm, let's goose storm
And then next week there will be one element of silly goose-isms in the show
I'm down for that, I'm down See you next week So we're doing laundry hacks in one element of silly goosisms in the show. I'm down for that.
I'm down.
See you next week.
Yeah.
So we're doing laundry hacks in some sort of silly goos situation. Yeah, what a fucking brilliant show next week is shaping up to be.
What if when we get the Is It Just You caller on next,
we say hi to them and then when they say hi back,
we just like make an animal noise at them and never explain it.
That's very my humour.
And then move through.
Yeah.
What's her name that we're about to speak to?
Let me check.
She's not on the line yet.
It's Olivia.
Right, okay.
So we could be like, oh, hi, how are you?
And then we just go.
How are you?
What series is this?
Wait, what's the animal?
Are we going to commit to geese?
Yeah, let's be silly geese.
Okay, let's do it.
Or surprise each other.
We all do a different one. Alright, let's do that.
Okay, so different ones? And we never acknowledge
it. Yeah. What if she goes, what was that?

Now, today, we are heading over the Dutch to Waikato, New Zealand, as we welcome Olivia
to Is It Just Me?
Hi, Olivia.
Welcome.
Kia ora. Welcome. Hi, welcome. Kia ora, welcome.
Hi everyone, kia ora, kia ora.
What's going on in New Zealand at the moment?
Not much to be fair.
It's pretty boring over here, but you know.
Oh, as if it's that
boring. It looks gorgeous. I can't wait to come there
one day. Yeah. It is very beautiful. A lot of really good scenery, but when you live here, it's that boring. It looks gorgeous. I can't wait to come there one day. Yeah.
It is very beautiful.
A lot of really good scenery, but when you live here, it's different.
Yeah, true.
You've got a beautiful accent. Actually, I feel the same way about growing up on the farm.
I'm like, it's beautiful, but not when you live here.
Yeah, true.
Yeah.
Yeah, not to say it every day, but to go for a trip here, I'm sure that would be nice.
Hey, how long have you listened to the show?
Probably about a year now.
I found Coombs on TikTok and then down the rabbit hole I went.
You're a new one.
Cool.
Gorgeous.
I'm glad you found us.
Absolutely.
Now I'm bloody every week listening.
Oh, we love it.
We love having you.
Good girl.
I also love the accent.
Oh, it's so nice.
There's something about it.
Yeah.
It really hits me.
Oh, I don't have an accent.
What are you talking about?
What does our accent sound like to you?
It's very noticeable.
Like if you had to describe it, does it sound posher than New Zealand or more foul?
I'd say more foul.
I love that.
At least you're honest.
I'll cop that.
Us Kiwis, we sound a lot more stentier than you guys.
Isn't that funny that we have an accent?
Does Jenna Mitch and I, do we all have different accents
or can you tell, like, who's talking based on our accent?
Mine's probably a bit thicker.
I can tell you're all super Aussie.
Are we really?
Yeah, super Aussie.
Interesting.
Even, like, how you say my name, like, Olivia.
Olivia.
Well, how do you say it?
Olivia.
Olivia.
Oh, all right, Lawrence.
Olivia.
The composer.
All right, Bradley, I'll count you in, then hit us with your regimen, okay?
Awesome.
Is it just me or?
A personalised plate, really douchey and a waste of money.
Isn't there another plates on your car?
Yeah.
I thought you meant like custom dinner plates that you make for your mum on Mother's Day.
No, those aren't douchey.
Those are fantastic.
What's your problem with them, Olivia?
I just think they seem like such a waste of money.
Like, I get it.
It's your car and you have like Catherine's car or Lady Simon and I the one and it's just
what a waste of money.
I don't have anything against them, but
there's not a lot of room to play with, not a lot of letters.
No. Like one of my aunties
for all of her kids' 18th
she would get them all of my cousins'
personalised plates and one of them
is T. Coombs
but there's not enough room for the B so it's
C-O-O-M-S and every time I see it
I'm like, well you've just spelt the last name wrong.
That's so frustrating. Exactly.
So it's just a waste of money, isn't it?
Well, I have custom plates.
Do you? What? Really? Yeah.
You've seen my car. I have never
noticed that they're custom. Yeah, me too.
The same as your auntie, it's a family tradition.
I didn't ask for them. I actually think
the tradition is quite cute. Yeah, I think the tradition is really
cute. My grandfather did it for my mum when they were
free and then they did it for all
her siblings. All my aunties and uncles all have their
year of birth, so like, you know,
65, and then their name or their initials
if it fits. So I'm not going to say my
custom number plate out loud.
Can you say what your regimen is? Can you turn the mic off and tell
me what it is, because I've never noticed. Yeah, me too.
Yeah.
Oh, right. Now, that's not obvious enough to be personalised to you.
Yeah, no, it's not like, IJM, boy!
Well, then why bother paying for it?
Because it's sentimental.
But mine are black and gold.
They're a bit fucking bougie.
So I've just got the configurator up here that shows you all the different types.
Oh, to see if these number plates are available.
Let's try one for IJM.
So I-I-J-M.
We have two more letters.
23.
Because they're really strict as well.
You can't have anything inappropriate.
That's true.
True.
So we could do IJM 23.
It's $485 a year.
Oh, my God.
Mitch.
So who paid for your custom plates?
My mum paid for the one-off as a gift, but I just pay $90 every year.
Oh, so it's $90 for you.
It's cheap, yeah, but it goes up.
But the cost you lock in is the fee that you pay forever.
So my mum doesn't pay for any because she bought them in the fucking 80s.
But look, it says on the website two to six letters,
so we could just get IJM.
Yeah, so here it is.
So the custom formats here on the right are $500 a year
and you can spell whatever you want.
Oh, they're even more expensive, right? Yeah, but or you 500 bucks a year and you can spell whatever you want. Or even more expensive.
Yeah.
But or you can do 115 and then you can get the dot and fall into the numbers category.
Look, these are all the cheaper ones on the left.
These are all the options.
Oh, that's just too much effort.
Yeah.
I still find them a waste of money.
Yeah.
I wouldn't.
I don't think I'll carry this.
Now that I know how much they cost, I'm like, whoa.
Yeah.
Anyone with custom plates, they must be fucking loaded.
100 bucks a year. I get it. You've you've got money yeah you want to know something crazy my cousin um sold her custom
number plates for 80 000 what because car collectors are really really really rich people
want them so she had the number plate um zero zero zero zero eight nine which is the year she was
born um and like that is so highly sought after it's so rare to get and someone paid eighty 000089, which is the year she was born.
And that is so highly sought after.
It's so rare to get.
And someone paid $80,000 and they bought a house with it.
So it's an investment, really?
Well, it depends on the plates you get, yeah.
So if you get like, you know, Jennifer,
I don't know if that's going to be sought after.
Not as much as the birth year.
Yeah, exactly.
But the numbers, apparently like 01 and 05 go for like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Wow.
Well, really rich people want them.
And imagine how cool it could be to have that one custom number plate.
It means nothing to me.
Not that cool.
No.
Yeah.
Anyway, I think we've flogged this dead horse.
Thanks, Olivia.
I agree.
Thanks, Olivia. Thanks, Olivia.
No worries.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for listening to the Top Gear podcast.
Love ya.
Bye.
Bye, guys. DM Pricekeeper Jenna will get you Gear podcast. Love you. Bye. Bye, guys.
DM Pricekeeper Jenna.
We'll get you a gift.
She was quite sweet.
I'm surprised that none of us were cheap and did the sheep noise for a New Zealander.
I'm actually glad that we didn't.
One of you should have done the sheep noise and I should have done a moan and then she
would have felt right at home.
Anyway, send us a DM or a text if you've got an issue.
Just me, if you won't.
By the way, any international listeners, what are you doing?
Sorry, I turned the aircon off.
He just got up out of his seat while I was talking.
I was like, what the fuck?
I thought you were leaving.
Sorry, sorry.
Any international listeners, feel free to throw your hat in the ring.
We'll get you on.
Doesn't matter about time zones.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah.
Even if Chiri and I have to get up at fucking 3am to record the call separately to make
the time zone work, it can happen.
We didn't discuss that.
Yeah, nah, we're discussing it now.
Yeah, wherever you are.
Do you know what?
Getting up at 3am to record with an international listener
would be really silly.
We should do it.
That is silly.
That's such silly goose energy.
That's silly goose.
So wherever you are in the world, hit us up in the DMs
and we will get you on the show.
Oh, what an influx of international lichems.
Yeah, you could be in the US, you could be...
In Greece.
What was the first song you played?
US.
Could be in New Zealand, like Olivia.
I do love their national anthem.
It's nice, isn't it?
Yeah.
I've never heard it.
I had to play it on Violin Antwoc Day back in the day.
Oh, really?
Could be in Argentina.
What's with you today?
Have you fucking snuck one of my Dexys away?
Because you're fucking bringing up the sound effects really quick.
No delay.
What about North Korea, huh?
Imagine if you were like, oh, no.
We do get breakdowns of where our listeners are from.
I did see a couple in South Korea.
Did you?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, like I said, hit us up if you want to get on.
Yeah, we'll get you on the show, international idiot.
Now, as you know, I've been dating Sean for 10 months now.
Wow.
Are you rounding up?
No, no.
That's rounding down.
Like, we're approaching 11.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Congrats.
Very happy for you.
I know.
If we were straight, we could have made a fucking accidental baby in this time.
I know.
Jesus Christ.
That's true.
The kid would be born by now.
Yeah, it would.
Wow.
He'd be walking.
Walking. Don't know about that. Sorry. I don't know how that works. Actually, if it's 10 months, you know, Jesus Christ. That's true. The kid would be born by now. It would. Wow. He'd be walking. Walking.
Don't know about that.
Sorry, I don't know how that works.
Actually, if it's 10 months, you know, it would not be walking.
It'd be very fucking fresh.
It'd be on the teeth.
And that's on the assumption that we got knocked up on the day we met.
True.
Well, you know, I heard about the date.
Jenna, did you?
Nothing like that happened.
Thank you very much.
Okay, right.
So 10 months.
Anyway, yeah, he's met like most of my friends.
Yeah.
Maybe 99% of them.
And one of my friends who he's only met briefly, I caught up with her the other night.
Sean was not there.
And she was a bit tipsy.
And so she started prying and being like, so you and Sean, what's the go?
And I'm like, what do you mean?
And she says, I don't know, like, is this a thing?
And I said, I fucking hope so.
I think we're past the point of it being a thing, right?
It's definitely well past it being a thing.
It's a relationship.
Like when someone says, me and this guy, we're kind of a thing,
what do you fucking picture then?
Three weeks, man.
And it feels promising.
Totally.
Do I know this friend?
I'd love to know who.
I don't know if you've met her or not.
But anyway, she kept asking questions and she's like, so are you going to move in together?
Right.
And I said, oh, well, I've only just fucking signed a 12-month lease at a place on my own.
I want to experience living on my own.
So we're not going to live together anytime soon.
And she goes, oh, my God, are you going to move to the Northern Beaches?
Oh. Because you know how Sean lives in the Northern are you going to move to the northern beaches? Oh.
Because you know how Sean lives in the northern beaches.
He does, he does, which is about an hour away from you.
No, not even.
Oh.
It's like 20km from the city.
Okay.
And so to drive there on a good day, it's maybe 30 to 40 minutes.
Okay, all right.
That's not too bad.
On a bad day, traffic can be a bit fucked to the northern beaches.
It can be over an hour.
So let's just say on average 45 minutes away.
And she says to me, I don't know how you do it.
I don't know.
I could never date someone from the Northern Beaches.
It's so far away.
And I was like, what the fuck?
She's not the first person that said that to me.
Yes.
And I don't know.
Do you reckon there's just something with Sydney people,
there's something psychologically about the fact that Northern Beaches
is the other side of the Harbour Bridge that it seems like, oh, my God,
that's in no man's land.
Like that is so far away.
It does seem like it's a long, long way away.
Yes.
And when I drive there, it's like, like I said, 45 minutes on average.
20 to 30 of those minutes are on my side of the bridge because it's so hard
and congested in the city and trying to get out of where I live.
It's a breeze over there.
It's so chill.
And I don't understand why people keep saying,
I don't know how you do it like I'm some hero for dating someone
that lives 45 minutes drive.
Yeah, but anyone who has to drive anything longer than a 20-minute journey
thinks it is like an international trip.
Like where I grew up in the Shire, it's a good 40 minutes away from the city.
There you go.
I'm so used to it.
And then Hayden, when we first started dating, he's another 25 minutes out of the CBD.
So I was driving over an hour every time we wanted to catch up.
Great.
Well, I'm preaching to the converted here.
Yeah, you are.
Do you reckon it's because I'm a country kid that I'm just used to driving at least half
an hour to get anywhere?
Yeah, that's cool.
Because living on a farm, I'm used to having to drive to get anywhere.
And so it's just, I don't even think about the fact that I have to drive
to the Northern Beaches, but people are so mind blown that I do it.
And so I put a thing on Facebook that said,
how far have you travelled for a fuck?
How far have you commuted for the sake of a fuck?
I saw this.
I saw this.
I was wondering where that was from.
Wait, you didn't?
Did you guys fuck on your first date in the Northern Beaches?
No.
Okay, okay.
The first date was in the city anyway.
And also I'm not just driving there for a fuck.
I just thought that this was a more interesting question.
Sorry.
If I put, how far have you driven for love?
I don't want to hear those stories about your long distance shit.
I just wanted to hear how far have people commuted for a fuck?
Okay.
What did you get?
Des said a four hour drive and he had to start work in 25 minutes.
So it was a quick fuck.
Oh, God, no.
That's a long way.
And then four hours back.
I mean, quick fucks can also be great, just quietly.
Nothing wrong with a quickie.
No, no, no, but also after a good ride, like a good fuck,
that normally leaves me feeling nice for a good 24 hours.
So that four hours would be even longer sometimes.
Sometimes, you know, you have sex on a Monday, I'm good that week.
I'm in a great mood all week.
Really?
Yeah, I can linger.
You know, the energy.
So that four-hour ride, albeit sore, I hope you had good quality leather shoes.
No, yeah, we're talking about the commute, not the ride.
Sorry, sorry.
I think the drive back would be nice.
Four hours would be lovely.
What about the fact that they had to be in work in 25 minutes?
So that fuck would have had to have been less than 25 minutes.
Do you remember when I first started dating Hayden,
you could tell that I would come to work after just doing things.
Was that you who brought it up with me?
Yeah, because you weren't fucking subtle at all.
No, no, it was clear.
Most people try and, you know, compose themselves,
whereas you would come running into the office, your face was red,
your fucking hair was a mess, you were personally just frazzled.
You'd walk up like, hi, sorry I'm late everyone, sorry. Your face was red. Your fucking hair was a mess. You were personally just frazzled.
You'd walk up like, sorry I'm late, everyone.
Oh, sorry.
Because I was the only one that knew you were secretly dating a man because you weren't even out of the closet.
No, I was still in it.
And he doesn't live far from the studio.
I would just say to you on the down low, you've been fucking, haven't you?
Wow.
You're like, how can you tell?
Your neck was always so red.
It was not red.
You had 40 fucking hickeys.
I did and I had meningococcal for a brief period on my neck only.
You used to ask me, is it noticeable?
Wow.
Okay, sorry not to make this about me, but okay, carry on, carry on.
Jasmine said, to lose my virginity, I got a two-hour train,
then a six-hour train, then drove in their car for 40 minutes.
Oh, my God. So that's a fair car for 40 minutes. Oh, my God.
So that's a fair hike for a fuck.
That's pretty intense.
That makes my 45-minute drive to the beach just seem like nothing.
Nothing at all.
I can't say I've ever immediately after a fuck gotten on a train, though.
That'd be interesting.
No, I haven't.
I've driven after.
Yeah, I've only ever driven.
A train would be horrific.
I mean, Janice had to get on the Kentucky bus multiple times.
Yeah, true.
Janice, when you would have rathered a carriage.
Oh, God.
And then Jordan said,
I caught an impromptu ferry ride from Rockhampton to Gladstone
in the middle of the 2011 floods.
Rockhampton was cut off, which took three hours.
Then spent the night in a dodgy pub motel,
so the following day
I could catch the tilt train from Gladstone to Brisbane,
which is a further seven hours.
Got to Brisbane and had a great date en route.
Amazing route, TBH.
Wow.
The next day caught the last flight out of Brisbane to Mackay,
which is two hours before it was closed due to flooding.
Then caught a bus from Mackay to Rockhampton, four hours.
So total travel time, 16 hours plus layover in Gladstone, let's say 26 hours.
Wow.
Oh my God.
All for sex.
All for sex.
Oh my God.
That's admirable.
Did they say whether or not it was worth it?
Well, they said it was a great route, TBH.
Wow, wow, wow.
Yeah, if it's a good route, then it's totally worth it.
What else were you doing in 24 hours?
Yeah, who fucking knows?
Notice that none of these replies came from Sydney people.
It must be a Sydney thing being like, how do you do it?
How do you maintain a relationship with someone in the beaches 20 kilometres away?
Have you heard of love, people?
Love exists.
Exactly.
Have you had Sean had sex in a car yet?
No.
No.
Why?
Just wondering.
Have you?
Yeah. Not with Sean yet? No. No. Why? Just wondering. Have you? Yeah.
Not with Sean.
With Sean?
Imagine.
Poor Sean.
You have though?
Yes.
Really?
Yeah, but not recently.
Jesus Christ.
Years ago.
Doesn't really appeal to me.
No.
Didn't appeal to me either.
No, no, no.
Like I've never been that horny where I'm like, I can't wait until we get home.
You don't do it because of.
Ah.
You do it just.
Because of your urges.
Yes, no.
You just do it for the fun of it.
For the novelty of doing it.
I can understand that actually.
Like a silly goose.
Well, did you hear about the.
Oh, no.
Stop it.
Is that how I'm going to channel my silly goose?
Oh, my God.
Fuck Sean in a car.
Oh, God.
The car would have to be like parked behind a tree and pitch black
so to not risk being seen.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is probably my favourite comment that I got.
Michelle said, when it comes to commuting for a route,
halfway across the world, I call it offshore drilling.
That's so good.
Is it just me?
The rude shocks of young adulthood.
All right, I'm sure all you guys have seen the viral TikToks going around.
We're all on a certain talk.
I was talking about this last week.
I'm currently on fish talk as well because I'm so obsessed with fish.
I'm getting all these fish recipes.
So you've moved on from water talk to fish talk.
Yep, I'm not exactly as cancelled in the fish talk realm as I am in the water talk domain,
but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
You're liked by your peers in the fish community, are you? Yeah, well, it's, you know, plenty of fish in the fish talk realm as I am in the water talk domain, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. You're liked by your peers in the fish community, are you?
Yeah.
Well, it's, you know, plenty of fish in the sea.
Do you frequent the Sydney fish markets?
Yes.
I used to live right down the road from them.
Wow.
I don't know how you do it.
It reeks.
It does stink.
I used to walk.
It was on my daily walk and it was, and like I'm a huffer and puffer.
So like I'd need so much oxygen.
And when I would walk past that fish market,
I would almost pass out because you inhale so much.
You're holding your breath.
Oh, because the fish markets are exactly what they're described
as a fish market, but the bins, the dumpsters,
where all the fish guts in the heads and the bodies go,
just sit and bake in the sun all day.
That's so foul.
The stench is horrific.
How did you end up on fish talk because this
doesn't happen to me where i end up on the talk of whatever is happening in my life do you have
to search for things yeah you've got to search you've got to like a couple and watch a couple
yeah okay yeah i go on some reason i'm still on like quitting your job talk i'm like i did that
years ago yes and i keep saying not interested interested. I'm on coming out talk.
I'm really backdated.
Anyway, I'm currently also on AI talk.
Like I'm getting a lot of AI videos.
Ah, yeah.
Artificial intelligence.
I'm not across those.
Oh, my God.
They're so good.
Like chat GPT, artificial intelligence, all those systems that you can have conversations with because they are intelligent beings, non-sentient.
It's crazy.
How do you explain chat GPT to someone who has no idea what it is?
I'm sure everyone's across it now.
I personally felt really indie because about two weeks before chat GPT blew up, one of
my friends told me about it and I started using it.
Yeah.
And for the first time in my fucking life, because I'm usually a bit slow on the uptake,
when everyone started talking about chat GPT, I was like, I already know about this.
Yeah, you're across.
Well, I've got ChatGPT.
Same.
Should we ask it if it knows anything about the show?
Have you already done that?
No, ask it how to explain.
That's what I was asking you.
Okay.
Well, I'm logging into my ChatGPT.
Let's have a look.
How would you...
You're not typing.
You're not typing.
Ha!
God, AI is far smarter than me.
How would you articulate...
Or explain.
Or explain what it is you are.
No, what ChatGPT is.
Oh, oh, oh.
Make it literal.
And can you also write 100 words or less?
Because that will make it shorter.
Because look, oh God, I'm already bored.
It's typing so much.
I said in 50 words or less.
Oh, they've done it.
Here we go.
ChatGPT is a computer program that can talk to people in natural language and help answer
questions or provide information on various topics using advanced algorithms and machine
learning.
So, for example, here's something I've used Chat GPT for.
Okay.
So, my comedy shows are about to begin.
Buy your tickets if you haven't already.
Sydney and Melbourne.
Yeah.
are about to begin.
Buy your tickets if you haven't already.
Sydney and Melbourne.
Yeah.
And I wanted to pre-record someone welcoming me to the stage just to eradicate the stress on the night of me.
Like, who the fuck's going to back announce me?
And so I got that guy, Luke Austin, who does all the VO videos on TikTok.
I lined him up.
He agreed that he was going to do the VO for me.
And then I said, right, I'll send you a script.
And weeks went by where I was just like, I don't know what to write in the script.
I was starting to overthink it a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, I've been there.
And so eventually he actually put it in an AI thing.
Yeah.
And I said, how the fuck did you write that?
And he goes, oh, I use AI.
And I was like, sorry, what?
So that's how I discovered it.
So he ended up writing his own script with AI.
Wow.
And I'll show you, here's how it turned out.
That's impressive.
Well, hello, folks, and welcome to the show.
Grab a drink, sit back and get ready for an unhinged hour of comedy.
Please make some noise and welcome to the stage, Mitchell Coombs.
Wow.
Wasn't that perfect?
That's so cool.
And initially it said, well, hello, ladies and gentlemen,
and then he replied, make it gender neutral,
and it came back with, well, hello, folks.
Oh, that's so good.
You can just reply in the chat room and make little tweaks.
I love it.
That's really, really great.
But it can do more than hold a conversation.
Like, have you seen the AI covers of music?
No, see, all that is beyond me.
I just know how to get it to write text for me.
Oh, my God, it is so good.
I saw that Grimes was like, oh, somebody make an AI song for me
and I'll get the royalties and stuff and you too.
It's so cool.
So essentially you put in a whole bunch or I guess AI can analyze a whole artist's discography
and then it can hear their voice, their tune, understand how they sing and then apply it
to other songs.
So they're getting people who have never sung these songs in their whole careers to cover
famous tunes.
That's cool.
So I have a bunch.
I'm going to play you songs and then you have to tell me who the cover is.
So the song is a real song.
I'll tell you the name of the song. You just need to tell me who the cover is. So the song is a real song. I'll tell you the name of the song.
You just need to tell me who the AI generated artist is singing.
Oh, right.
So they kind of make it sound identical to their voice?
They're trying.
Chat GPT's in its early days.
I think they're pretty obvious.
There's one or two that are tough.
Yeah, this will be easy.
I reckon that this AI shit, it's a little bit scary how good it is.
Okay, let it play for a little bit and then tell me if you've got it.
Let it play.
Here we go.
So this is Starboy.
You know the song by The Weeknd?
Yeah.
I'm a motherfucking starboy.
Who is the artist?
Ariana Grande.
Isn't it?
It's Ariana Grande.
Yes.
That was easy.
But she hasn't sung that.
That's a computer.
That's so odd.
Isn't that ridiculous?
What about this?
This is Rihanna, Diamonds.
Is this person super well-known?
Yeah.
This is tough.
Once you know, you'll kick yourself.
I know the police.
Yeah, I don't recognise them.
I've interviewed them.
Great friends.
British?
No.
Oh, Dua Lipa.
Yes, it's Dua Lipa.
Of course it is.
Now you know.
I literally blocked Dua Lipa on Spotify. Why? You don't like Dua Lipa? Because course it is. Now you know. I literally blocked Dua Lipa on Spotify.
Why?
You don't like Dua Lipa?
Because I found out you can do that.
Because if you, you know, you get the random generated playlists,
like you can put on house party or fucking Sunday afternoon.
She was appearing in every playlist and I was just getting so annoyed.
I'm like, I hear you enough.
And then I found out you can block people on Spotify.
And so she's still blocked.
That's so great.
Yeah, that's why I didn't recognize the voice.
Yes, that's Douliba.
All right, next one.
This is One Last Time.
Why does it keep dropping out?
Is that the AI with all the glitches in there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, right.
So it's not quite up to scratch yet.
I've got no idea who that is.
It's in those high notes.
Go to the high note again.
No idea.
Okay, it's Rihanna.
Oh, yeah.
It is.
Yeah.
That sounds nothing like her.
No, there's bits of it. That high note sounds least like Rihanna. No, yeah. It is. Yeah. That sounds nothing like her. No, there's bits of it.
That high note sounds least like Rihanna.
No, I think it does.
You hear the raspiness in her voice.
One more time.
Is that a funny joke?
No, one more time.
Oh, I didn't even mean to do that.
I was wondering.
No, that sounds nothing like fucking Rihanna.
It's hard.
It's hard.
Okay, these last two are very tough, I think.
Okay.
So this is Miley Cyrus.
I thought this was going to be so easy.
Yeah.
Miley Cyrus, Flowers, but who is covering her?
Bruno Mars.
Justin Bieber.
Correct, Jenna.
Yeah.
I thought maybe they were being clever by getting,
because you know how everyone compares Flowers to that Bruno Mars song.
You know, last night on my show at night,
I played Flowers, then went into When I Was Your Man, Bruno Mars. I'm like, isn't that funny?
Wow.
Isn't that crazy?
All right, last one.
Isn't that funny?
No, that's not that funny.
It's not funny.
It's more interesting.
That's hilarious.
Last one.
This is Die For You.
It's the new weekend song.
Who is singing it?
It sounds like someone's put a microphone up to a wasp's nest.
Michael Jackson.
It doesn't sound good.
No, that's a lie. Did that whole song not just sound like a swarm of bees?
No, but...
A little bit.
Anyway, AI is taking over the world.
It's going to come for our job soon.
This show will be hosted by AI versions of ourselves.
Finally, after all this time, I'll find someone that's able to do an impression of me.
Oh, my God, yes.
Do you reckon AI will even fucking manage?
I wonder how we can get an audio AI.
Well, that's, yeah, I don't know how people have done all those songs and shit.
It's too smart for our eye.
I don't get that.
It'll be around.
We'll be able to do it in a couple months.
Is there any Lady Gaga AI songs?
Yeah, there'll be a book.
Oh, you're tied now.
Oh, Yoshi.
I'm sorry to bore you.
No, no, no, you're not.
No, I just looked at Jenna.
Winner Takes It All by Adele, I'm assuming, isn't it?
What?
Winner Takes It All by ABBA, originally.
Is there a Lady Gaga version of Winner Takes It All?
Yeah.
Oh, suck my ass.
Are you joking?
It's not playing.
Jenna, do you know what's happening?
Where?
Oh, there we go.
All right.
Winner Takes It All.
Oh, wow.
The losers stand small.
Yeah, fuck.
Beside the victory.
That's our destiny.
Are we sure this is AI?
Yeah.
The gods make through the dice.
I love it, I love it.
The mind's as cold as ice.
And some will wait down here. Oh my God, I love it. That is so real.
This is great.
I want this to be real.
It's the fact that it's played on a piano
and it sounds like someone recorded it at an actual venue.
That makes me think, this might not be AI.
No, it's definitely AI.
This Lady Gaga AI is on the YouTube bestie, someone says.
They've got a whole YouTube of them.
Oh, my God.
Okay, well, that's my night.
There's a whole bunch.
Who's this, Ava Max?
No.
Shut up, Ava Max.
Best Lady Gaga song, go. Replay.
Oh, you can't just string that on me.
It depends.
Depends on the mood. Well, what mood are you in now?
I did like
Shizer a lot. What's Shizer?
I don't speak German,
but I can if you like, ow!
That one. Real fan
track. Nah.
Oh, sorry.
Are you not a fan or something?
Is that why you're saying that?
No, I love Justin.
Maybe it is a fan track.
You're just out of yourself as not being a fan.
I love Joanne.
It's not Joanne.
It's from Born This Way.
I was listening to Joanne.
I love Joanne.
I had a little sad moment.
I was listening to when she rips off Benny and the Jet.
Which one's that?
She's like, good girl, do you need me?
Oh, hey girl.
Hey girl.
Is that the one with Florence Welch?
Yeah, I usually cry because that song comes on.
Why the fuck is that a sad song?
No, it's just, you know, when you're in your feels, it really hits you.
There's another one on that album too.
I did not like that song at all.
I really didn't like that song. There was another one on that album too. I did not like that song at all. I really didn't like that song.
There was another one on that album that I liked.
The pop one.
Only pop one.
No.
I'm thinking of the pink one.
Just give me a reason.
Oh my God.
Just a little bit.
You thought that was from Lady Gaga's album, Joey.
No, no.
What's A Million Reasons?
You'll give me a million reasons to let you go.
No, that's beautiful.
That's beautiful.
But there's another one on that album that slaps hard.
That's pop.
Pop? Fuck. Yeah, it's pop. I'll get it up, on that album that slaps hard. It's Pop. Pop?
Fuck.
Yeah, it's Pop.
I'll get it up, don't worry.
Really?
Yeah, hold the press.
Maybe we could do this off the cloud.
I don't know why we're doing this now.
Perfect delusion.
Oh, perfect delusion, of course.
Perfect delusion, yeah.
For some reason, I just assumed that wasn't the one you were talking about because that
single did not do well.
Oh, no.
The whole album, so.
Hey.
But I love that album.
Yeah.
I do.
I like it. Shall we go? Yeah, maybe we should. Let's get out of here. We will that album. Yeah. I do. I like it.
Shall we go?
Yeah, maybe we should.
Let's get out of here.
We will see you next week.

a podcast by a couple of mitches
make sure you've hit follow
on your podcast app Welcome to A to Debrief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
Is it possible you thought we were in A to Debrief just before?
That segment just fell apart.
Yeah.
Wow.
Criticism on both parts.
It did.
I'm sitting there going, when are we going to wrap?
You're sitting there going, which one?
I thought we'd wrapped.
No.
I really thought we'd wrapped.
No, absolutely not.
Sorry, everyone.
This part of the show is dedicated to just talking shit aimlessly.
Oh, we've already got the Lady Gaga out of our system.
Mm-hmm.
That winner takes it all was too good to be true.
Winner takes it all.
I've got AI here, and I've asked it, come up with podcast content for my comedy podcast.
Yeah.
And it suggests we do celebrity impressions.
Oh, I kind of do that on a whim anyway.
You do.
News satire.
Take news stories of the week and offer humorous commentary.
All right, let's try that.
Hilarious commentary on the news of the week.
Old mate from MasterChef.
What's your hilarious commentary?
That's not funny.
I know.
Stupid idea, AI.
That's a dumb idea.
We could do like a sketch news bulletin.
What?
Why are you sitting there bouncing in your seat like you're a sim getting changed?
Like you're loading.
I'm looking for something.
I'm looking for this so we can do.
You're like, we haven't finished picking a character yet.
You're just bouncing in your seat, levitating.
I'm shaking. I'm shaking.
Because I'm just busy and I'm trying to find some audio.
No, we don't need to do the news thing.
What are the other ideas?
Movie or TV show reviews.
Offer humorous reviews or critiques of the latest movie TV shows.
These are very generic ideas and they're just throwing the word humorous in there.
They're dumb.
Well, anytime you're ready to bring an idea forward as well, Jenna, please feel free.
That'd be better than these.
I said more obscure ideas and it's telling me.
Okay.
Horror movie reviews.
Wow.
Okay.
Fan fiction readings.
We've done that. We did that. Yeah. I could do a Horror movie reviews. Wow, okay. Fan fiction readings. We've done that. We did that.
Yeah. I could do a horror movie
review. I'm actually doing a scary movie
night on Friday, so I'll be able to do a
review for that. What are you doing on Friday?
A scary movie night. Oh, that'll be fun. What are you watching?
I don't know. It was Sean's idea. Has he messaged
you yet? No. He said he was going to.
Wow. Are you doing anything on Friday?
Don't think so. Oh, there you go. I'd love to
watch Scream. Nah, I think we're watching Hereditary. Oh, that is too scary. Is it? Yeah Friday? Don't think so. Oh, there you go. I'd love to watch Scream.
No, I think we're watching Hereditary.
Oh, that is too scary.
Is it?
Yeah, I don't like scary.
Everyone that he's invited has said that too.
They're like, oh my God, that's way too scary.
But I don't get scared by fucking scary movies.
Hereditary is fucked.
It'll make you, it'll fuck up with you.
It's scary.
What? I don't want to go near it.
Is that the one with Tony Collette?
Yeah, it's A24.
I don't want to go near it.
So you're not going to come because of the movie we're showing?
Yeah, if it's Hereditary, I can't come.
He just took the first out he could find in.
I'm not joking.
I don't watch scary movies.
I'm not busy, but oh, no, that's too much.
You just said you wanted to watch Scream.
I don't want to watch Scream.
Huh?
I don't want to watch Hereditary.
I'm really losing it, guys.
I asked AI for more obscure ideas.
Creepy pasta readings. Yeah, creepy pasta readings. Fan fiction
readings. Sorry, a what? Creepy pasta. I don't know, make some sort of pasta
squidding or something. What's a pasta reading? I don't know.
Okay. So sorry, I said make it tailored to the
queer audience. So now it says coming out stories, done
that. Queer media analysts analysts i guess we've done
that queer history drag queen interviews we've done that yeah lgbtq celebrities hello you're
looking at them sex and dating done that oh then it says remember the key to creating and engaging
and entertaining podcasts is to be authentic oh thanks for the fucking tip, chat GPT. What would you know?
I had no idea.
So what if there's a woman on the show also?
No problem.
Aha.
So now it's going to give us, oh, it's giving us,
oh, look at all the ideas for now that it knows Jenna's here.
Can you please write in there, how can we gaslight Jenna and just see what it says?
We haven't done a gaslighting Jenna in a long time.
What was the last gaslighting Jenna we did?
Oh, what was it?
I can't fucking remember.
I'll search.
Wait.
Oh, I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with harmful or unethical behaviour.
Oh, that's lovely.
Oh, is gaslighting harmful and unethical?
Yeah, it's a serious form of emotional abuse.
Ah, first I'm hearing about it.
I said she is consenting.
Okay, we'll say prank.
Yeah.
We gaslit Jenna into agreeing to marry you so that you and Hayden could have a party.
That's true.
Because the only reason you were allowed out of lockdown was a wedding.
Oh, look what it says.
If you want to play a harmless prank on your co-host Jenna, here are fun ideas.
Swap her computer iPhone background with an embarrassing image.
Oh, boring.
Create a fake news article. What is it, 2012?
Yeah. Replace the
coffee in her cup with decaf.
Wow, that's fucking hilarious.
Would be funny if it was piss.
Cover her cat with post-it notes or
wrap it in cling wrap. How did I know she has a cat?
It says car.
Create a fake announcement
on news report about a fictional event
or award she's won.
Fuck, it really thinks fake news reports are funny.
I can't be fucked with a mock news report.
Neither can I.
Remember to keep the prank light-hearted and remember to consider Jenna's feelings and boundaries.
Oh, why start now?
Yeah, but you're wrapping a car in cling wrap.
But what if we just wrap any car and go, fucking sucked in, Jenna.
It's a random car. Jenna
is numb and has a high tolerance for pranks.
Oh, they've
given us more, though. Oh, okay.
Create a fake email from a celebrity or public
figure. Okay, these are getting better.
Yeah, but you did that with a Brie Larson autograph.
Oh, that wasn't good. You did shit.
I had a small object, like a paperclip
or pen in her desk and see how long it takes her to find it.
But how will we know if she's found it?
She's not going to announce to the world, I found a paperclip.
It's giving us more.
I've said, take it to the next level.
A fake spider.
This thing's stupid.
Create a fake employee profile on your company website
or social media pretending to be Jenna.
That's pretty.
You're going to make a fake teams account and just post nudes.
Put it on Yammer.
That would be a bit of a silly goose move.
That's silly.
No, but that's also very 2012.
Hacked.
Oh, my God.
I asked how to be more of a silly goose.
And it says, if you want to be more of a silly goose on your podcast,
here's the ways to do it.
Inappropriate puns or wordplay into your language and conversation.
We do that.
Play silly games or challenges.
Engage in playful banter and teasing your co-host.
Well, yeah, that's pretty bang on chat, GPT.
Use funny voices or accents.
Share funny stories or anecdotes from your personal lives.
Go on, Mitchell, what's something funny that happened? We went to 7-Eleven.
Wow, I just cracked
up laughing. That was funny.
I said, write me some scripts we can use as in-show
audience packaging.
Oh my god. What?
This is the script it wants us to use.
Hey there podcast listeners,
we love hearing from our audience
and we want to know what you think about
our show. If you have any feedback, suggestions or questions, please send us.
Now, shut up.
They're lame.
Can we stop with this now?
What's thinking?
You know you have to read what you've written because people can't see this.
I hate this point in the show when you just start fucking around on the computer.
Welcome to Is It Just Me?
No, but what have you asked it to give?
I've asked it to use the brand.
We want to brand the podcast with scripts.
Write me some scripts.
It's called Is It Just Me?
with Mitch Turi and Mitchell Coombs and Jenna.
So it says, Is It Just Me?
We believe that everyone's voice deserves to be heard.
That's why we created this podcast, a space where we can talk openly and honestly about
the things that matter to us.
This is terrible.
Oh, here we go.
The podcast where anything goes. With our hosts, Mitch Turi, Mitchell Coombs and Jenna. You never know what you're mattered to us. This is terrible. Oh, here we go. The podcast where anything goes.
With our hosts, Mitch, Jury, Mitchell, Coombs and Jenna,
you never know what you're going to get.
From outrageous pranks.
This is fantastic.
Outrageous pranks.
That's really good.
What other times have we gaslit Jenna?
I gaslit her into thinking she'd been reunited with one of her Contiki roots,
but it was not actually one of her Contiki roots, but it was not actually
one of her Contiki roots. True.
We gaslit
her into thinking that she'd agreed to churn
her own butter as a segment. Yes.
That was the first one. Yeah.
The inaugural. Yeah.
Oh, I remember we gaslit her into thinking
that we agreed to do Secret
Bunny instead of Secret Santa for Easter.
Oh, yeah.
And then I missed out on an Easter egg and I was like,
oh, Jenna, how can you forget?
You always forget things.
Yeah, that was a hard one.
And then didn't you run out and get some already eaten chocolate from the office and give it to me and go, no, here.
Yeah, I did.
Secret Bunny.
I think I got my boss's chocolate.
Have we missed Pig Week?
No, it's soon though.
I love Pig Week. Me too. It'll be the third annual Pig Week. I love it. Oh? No, it's soon though. I love pig week. Me too.
It'll be the third annual pig week. I love it.
Oh, fuck. Are you serious? No, I
can't. No. Mitch is on his health kick.
I know, but it's tradition.
No, no, Mitch. We could
maybe we'll make it like
the biggest loser where it's the temptation challenge.
You two have pig week and I'll see if I can go without.
That'll be a real test.
I'm excited for pig week.
What date is it?
I'm going to Google.
Well, I think it falls in the last week of May or the first week of June.
Yeah.
So it's soon.
Yay, I love pig week.
I'm down.
You're what?
I'm down.
Put an accent on.
Why are you saying it like that?
I just accidentally said it.
It was a slip of the tongue that I'm running with it.
Oh, okay.
I'm down.
Look, I feel mentally absolutely fried.
Yeah, we can hear it. Yeah.
So, you know, you've not masked it well.
You guys could lift, but you're matching it.
No, we're not.
What?
You're matching the sadness.
Can I tell you what was happening from my point of view?
Yeah.
You were throwing things at me and then not listening to
the reply that's how the conversation would die what exactly you'd be like oh my god blah blah
blah i'd reply to that and then you weren't listening so then there'd be nothing would go
from there then you play it's hard to keep playing tennis when you haven't bought a fucking racket
yeah but i've got the tennis shoes on I haven't bought a fucking racket. Yeah.
But I've got the tennis shoes on.
There's tennis shoes?
Aren't they just joggers?
No, tennis shoes are a whole thing.
In America, they call sneakers tennis shoes, don't they?
No, I think it's sneakers.
Sneakers.
We call them joggers.
Or runners, whatever.
You know, I was thinking, we're the only country that call it a footpath.
Everyone else calls it a sidewalk.
Pavement.
Pavement.
Sidewalk.
Footpath.
Yeah, we're just a little bit more literal.
Like we say car park instead of the parking lot.
Yeah, car park.
Stacker.
Yeah.
What?
Stacker.
What's that?
Like one of the multiple story ones.
Oh, right.
The stacker.
Yeah, right.
What do they call it overseas?
I don't know.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today.
That's all.
Obviously, it didn't make you feel 3% better.
So we do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's going on?
All right.
Let's get out of here, guys.
Yeah, we better.
Thanks for listening.
We'll catch you again next week.
For the silly goose episode of Is It Just Me.
Quack, quack. Yes, I'm sure we'll come up with something.
Quack-a-doodle-doo.
Also, I'd love suggestions on what silly goose shit to do next week.
Yeah, let us know.
And also individually.
And for fuck's sake, Cherry, don't make it annual.
Because we can't have the annual silly goose episode so close to pig week.
True, true, true.
Oh, yeah.
We have to space it out.
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
Well, the one-off sillyilly Goose episode next week.
We'll see you then.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Is it just me?
