Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Is it just me? Is familiar and farce kind of fun? Just you, you filthy unhinged bitch.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Honestly. What's wrong with you? Now here's Mitch Chooy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you. Hello you. What's happening? Welcome back. Not much.
Starting point is 00:00:32 I'm okay. Not much. Not much. How are you feeling? Yeah, I'm alright. I've been better. Yeah. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:00:37 How are you? Oh, mentally I'm fine. I'm bloody sore at the moment. Oh. I've got a stiff neck. Oh. Sore and stiff in the same sentence. My mind goes somewhere else. I'm got a stiff neck. Sore and stiff in the same sentence. My mind goes somewhere else. I'm feeling
Starting point is 00:00:47 very stiff today. Are you? It's because you're looking at me. Don't even. Why are you sore, Pilates? Probably, yeah. I also haven't been to Cairo in a while. I swear sometimes I feel like Cairo might be a scam because they readjust you but then you need it more so you have to keep
Starting point is 00:01:04 going back. What's chiro? Oh, you know, like you see the TikToks where people get their neck and their back cracked, all that stuff. Oh, like chiropractor? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I thought it was some sort of like church thing. No. I thought like chiro was like a thing you did on Friday nights or something. No, that's choir.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Oh, choir. Jumble the letters a bit. I feel like there's something chiro, like Christian people do chiro or something. Maybe they do. I don't know. Who knows? I'm not judging. Chiro for everyone. I thought you were going to chiro. Okay, I didn't know you had or something. Maybe they do. I don't know. Who knows? I'm not judging. Cairo, it's for everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I thought you were going to Cairo. Okay, I didn't know you had a chiropractor. Oh, I love it. It's kind of addictive because right now I'm just craving a good crack. Yeah. I've had so many innuendos today. Yeah. I'm craving a good crack.
Starting point is 00:01:35 It's like an itch that needs to be scratched. Where is it? Where's the crack? The neck, the back, the pussy and the crack. Of course, of course, yeah. Do you know what my chiro said to me the other day? Well, last time I saw him, a month or so ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:46 He told me that he's going to recommend this podcast to his wife. Oh. Because apparently she has a long commute to Wollongong or something. Okay. And so he goes, yeah, she loves, what are their names? Tony and Ryan. I said, oh, yeah, they're friends of ours. And so he said he'd recommend it to me.
Starting point is 00:02:01 So hello, Jack the chiropractor's wife, if you're listening. Hi, Mrs. Crack. Is his name Jack Crackiropractor's wife, if you're listening. Hi, Mrs. Crack. Is his name Jack Crack? Oh, my God. That would be perfect. Imagine. Yeah. Oh, well, shout out.
Starting point is 00:02:11 That's what happened when I moved into my new place. The guy was like, oh, yeah, so is this where you do the podcast? And I'd never mentioned it before. And I was like, yes, this is where I do the podcast. So he outed himself as a listener. No, his wife and his daughter love the podcast. Oh, that's cute. I'm like, what came first, the wife or the daughter?
Starting point is 00:02:24 I wonder who got the other. Well, the daughter probably has the podcast. Oh, that's cute. I'm like, what came first, the wife or the daughter? I wonder who got the other one. Well, the daughter probably has the TikTok. Yeah, true, true. So she would have gotten the wife onto it. But speaking of which, we really should say happy Mother's Day to all the mums listening. Happy Mother's Day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Happy Mother's Day to our in-house mother, Pricekeeper Jenna, who is here. Thank you. Hello. You have a real maternal energy, Jenna, about you. Hardly. Thank you so much. No, you'd be a great mum to...
Starting point is 00:02:46 To? Dun... Connie. Connie. Connie. I think if you had an actual child, it would walk all over you. I think it would stress you out too much. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:02:55 That kid, it would run your life. Yeah. Because it'd get the cunning nature from its mother. Yeah. So they'd be constantly scheming. Yeah. Oh, a scheming baby? Yeah, and I'd let it. You its mother. Yeah. So they'd be constantly scheming. Yeah. Oh, a scheming baby? Yeah, and I'd let it.
Starting point is 00:03:08 You definitely would. Yeah. It's good for conversation. Of course. It's a good story. It's a good baby. Well, happy Mother's Day. Yeah, happy Mother's Day to the mums out there, Michelle.
Starting point is 00:03:14 If you're listening the day that this episode comes out, happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Or after the fact, hope you had a gorgeous Mother's Day. But if you didn't, I mean, as usual, we're here to try and make you feel at least 3% better today. Totally. Also, love to those people who don't have mums.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yes. Mother's Day can be really triggering when everyone's talking about how lovely Mother's Day is. So our thoughts are with you. It can be really tough for some people. Yeah, no, it can be a sad day for some. So we hope to make you feel 3% better today. Maybe 4% for those people.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah, you can get a 4%. Yeah. Oh, my God. Guess what? Look how I'm sitting in the studio. My leg's up. Did you notice? No. Oh, why God, guess what? Look how I'm sitting in the studio, my legs up. Did you notice? No.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Oh, why? Is that significant? Yeah, well, it looks like I'm propositioning you, Jenna, to have definite sex. It does, actually. It's not going to suck itself straight out. It's Thursday night. It's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I had a massage done. Oh, don't. I was just talking about feelings, too. No, but it wasn't a crack. It was a massage done. Oh, don't. I was just talking about. I know. No, but it wasn't a crack. It was a muscular massage. And they were so busy. And he's like, oh, my son can do it. And I'm like, sure.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I'm like, that's not a problem. Really? Why is it a problem? He's not on staff. No, he's not on staff. The son was there and he was on his iPad. He was an adult. Like he was probably 18, 19.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Oh, I just pictured a little 12-year-old on his iPad. I probably would have loved that, a little tap dancing kid on my back. That would have been lovely. Gets in all the nooks and crannies and can really karate chop it. Anyway, I'm like, oh, I guess that's all right. He had like a T-shirt on that looked like a – it was like a polo shirt. It kind of looked like he'd had a sports day. Like it looked like he'd come from maybe year 12, I think.
Starting point is 00:04:37 And he was really sweet, but he was shocking. Not good at massaging. He was not a masseuse. I walked in and he goes, all right, so take off whatever you're comfortable with. And I'm like, whatever I'm comfortable with? If I had my say, I'd do this in a full gown. I don't want to be nude in front of you. So I'm like, all right. So I just strip off to my undies and I lie down with my face in the hole and he comes up and he goes, all right, where would you like me to start? And I'm like, oh, you don't want to know, mate. Well, I'm like, well, you don't want me face down for that. I was like, just do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I trust you, but I want the head done and then the back. The head. I love a head massage. Oh, like a scalp. Yeah. Isn't that for the hairdressers? No. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:05:14 You are missing out if you haven't got an actual head massage. They're amazing. It's brilliant. It opens up the third eye. Honestly, because of my addiction to Cairo, I equate massages to the feeling of sexual frustration. Because I'm like, I mean, sure, this is great, but it's like they're edging me. I'm like, I just want to be cracked.
Starting point is 00:05:31 They don't go deep tissue enough. Oh, I thought you meant you wanted to be flipped and sucked. No, it's the same feeling of sexual frustration where you're like, oh, you're so close, but still so far away. Got it, got it, got it. That kind of keeps it fun, though. No, I want to be cracked. Okay. Jeez, someone needs to crack Mitch.
Starting point is 00:05:47 I'm going to call Sean and go, crack your fucking boyfriend. He won't shut up. I've never been cracked, so maybe. Oh, I could crack you. I crack my family. Oh, so you put your hand up and offer to crack her but not me. I can crack you. Do you want me to crack you?
Starting point is 00:06:01 Can you actually crack people? Yeah, I can crack all the time. Can you crack me? Whereabouts? In the back. It's in the middle of the spine. Yeah crack you? Can you actually crack people? Yeah, I can crack all the time. Can you crack? Whereabouts? In the back. It's in the middle of the spine. Yeah, that'll help. Should we try?
Starting point is 00:06:09 Yeah, go. How are we going to? Okay, stand up. Okay. Don't I lie on the floor? No, this is a different crack. It's a really intense hug. It's very intimate.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Oh, okay. Ready? Okay. No, face me. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is intimate. I know. Okay, so it's like. Yeah. Oh, this is intimate. I know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:26 So it's like a hug. Where do I put my hands? You just put your hands. Okay. Come here. Yeah, relax. Okay. So breathe in and out.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Shake it out. Okay. Breathe in. Why are my eyes closed? Okay. Sorry. Breathe in and out. That didn't work
Starting point is 00:06:45 He just lifted me up I've never done that before, I was lying What the fuck was that? That was so awkward I knew you were having me on Yeah, I was lying You don't crack someone breast to breast You crack them from behind
Starting point is 00:07:01 If you ever see that footage ever goes anywhere You watch in my eyes. I'm like, what did I do? Now I'm feeling very sexually frustrated. Anyway, listen, you're not going to be frustrated in the show. It's going to be fine. My massage was shitty and he poured hot oil on my back. Like, long story short, I have a third degree burn on my back.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Did you eventually get the massage person you paid for? No, it was shocking. Did you get a refund? No, he poured boiling scalding oil on my back. Oh, sorry, I've never used this before. And I'm like, well, then why the fuck pour it on my nude back? So I've got third degree burns. And it's broken out because it's oil and my back is pimply.
Starting point is 00:07:36 It's awful. So I kind of have to sit up in a weird way. Oh, no. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I'm all right, though. I'm here. That's horrible. A chiro would never, just saying.
Starting point is 00:07:44 No, they would never. By the way, because it's Mother's Day, we're doing the top five TV mums later on, ranking the best mum characters from TV. We really are. And there's so many mums out there on TV that formed, like, what I wanted in a mum. Like, I thought these were my dream mums, these TV characters. But also some of them are funny characters because they're actually shocking mothers. So it's going to be hard.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It's going to be interesting to see how we actually rank them. Do we reward them for their good mothering? Yeah, that's a good point, actually. Or are they a good mum because they're a terrible mum and great television? Yeah, I know. It's going to be tricky. Also, laundry hacks. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yay. I swear we didn't put this in there as some sort of sexist nod to Mother's Day. Laundry hacks. What do women like? No, this is a follow on from last week. We said we were going to do it, so we're doing it. Yeah, but we did say, remember we had a meeting in January. We said for Mother's Day, let's talk about laundry. What do mothers do? Laundry.
Starting point is 00:08:32 No, it's a coincidence. If it's your first time listening though, we start the show the same every week to Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. Mine's a TikTok that I saw that has blown me away, something that we do every day and we've done to each other, all three of us, and it could be getting us in deep trouble. We probably do it every day, not to each other every day. Oh, right, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:56 But it's something that we do. It's a daily occurrence, especially in this modern world, and it could get us, it could send us to prison and it could make us bankrupt. What? Sorry, it's a grave warning. You better just go first because I'm very curious about what the fuck you're talking about. Okay, let's do this.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Jump into my engine. Is it just me or? Were you not aware that the banks read the description you put in bank transfers? They know. They know. They know. They read them. When do they read them? When they go through.
Starting point is 00:09:30 No, but isn't it if you just want to take a loan or something? No, Jenna. Which is still plausible if you're trying to get a home loan or any other loan. They will probably look in depth. So don't put in the description drugs as a joke. Hook up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Prostitution cash. I saw this TikTok. have a listen to this you know when you're sending money to a friend and you just kind of pop in a random transfer description for fun ali sent a quick 30 to someone and got called in by the economic and trade sanction team at st george bank when you're transferring someone money if it includes certain words it can set alarm bells off at banks which leads to emails like this one that was sent to Ali. What was Ali's transfer description, you might be wondering? Well, Ali was just sending birthday money to his nephew, whose last name happens to be Muslim. So he put Muslim B-Day.
Starting point is 00:10:20 According to experts, Ali's birthday message was probably flagged under something like the UN's counter-terrorism regime. So a really good birthday outcome. DFAT has this big list of sanctioned individuals and the banks can look at those names. There are some people with the name Muslim on that list, but there are other names on the list that include some really common words like dad. What's wrong with the word dad? Father's Day must be really busy at the banks. Thanks for lunch. Isn't that insane?
Starting point is 00:10:47 Oh, my God. I wonder what other trigger words there are. Yeah, I'd love to know. Surely just like gun. Yeah. That would raise alarm bells. Murder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I'm assuming murder. Yeah. Drugs, definitely. Hitman. Yeah, cocaine. Bag. Probably bag as well. True.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Although how dumb would you have to be to actually put bag, if you've bought a bag of cocaine of someone, to put it into the description, last night's bag, ta. I know, but you'd never be stupid enough to do it if you were actually buying a bag. However, if someone transferred you for drinks, I would put bag as a joke, you know? Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And then they'll flag it as something real. But isn't it crazy that there's obviously an AI that just flags it when it's sent through automatically. It must read it. And then it sends alarm bells. And she had a meeting with them over it. That's scary. It sounds a bit oversensitive, that AI, actually.
Starting point is 00:11:34 The word dad is a trigger? Why? Yeah, why? Yeah, what's this trauma? What trauma has the AI gone through? Yeah. I'm going to transfer Jenna a dollar. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And let's put a word in and see if it triggers. How will you know if it triggers? Don't you need someone that works at a bank? I'll be investigated. There'll be a fraud commission coming down on me. $1 for assault rifle. Oh, no, I'm not doing that. Do you have pay ID, Jenna?
Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah. Okay. Oh, let's not fuck with that. Well, at the record show I would have sent Jenna $12 for beheading money. All right, shall I hit you with my itch? Yes, go for it. Is it just me or? Do you not trust Wi-Fi connectivity?
Starting point is 00:12:15 Oh, never have, never will. No. I'm not talking about like a laptop or, you know, your TV for internet browsing or streaming or whatever. I'm talking about devices that you need to connect to stuff through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, whatever it may be. It never fucking works for me. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Explain that more. I got those sunnies that have the camera in them. Oh, the Ray-Bans. I wasn't going to name the brand, but sure, okay. Okay, sorry, sorry. Let's besmirch them. I don't mind, really, because they're fucked, the Ray-Ban stories. It just will not connect and it keeps saying, oh, reset, try again.
Starting point is 00:12:46 No device found. Even though I'm doing, I'm following all the steps, I'm holding the switch down until the light blinks blue, all that fucking rubbish, and it just won't work. And then I say to them, oi, it's not working. And they'll be like, that's weird. Have you tried these steps? Of course I've tried the fucking troubleshooting steps.
Starting point is 00:13:03 That's the first thing I did. I wouldn't be speaking to you if I hadn't tried it. Same deal with my air purifier. Oh. Is that a smart air purifier? Well, no, evidently. But for the longest time, maybe a year, the first year I had it, I could control it with my phone.
Starting point is 00:13:17 So if I was in bed and I looked up and I was just like, dust, I would just grab my phone. Wait, so what do you mean by air purifier? It's like a machine that sucks the air in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Airborne pollutants it's supposed to catch. It still works, but now I have to finger it like normal. The Wi-Fi thing won't work and it keeps telling me no device is detected. I'm like, it's right there. The light's blinking. What's happened? I feel like this is a very you issue. Just press the button. What's the problem?
Starting point is 00:13:42 Well, just get up and press the button. I know, but it's given me the option, so I should be able to use it. That's the problem? What? Just get up and press the button. I know, but it's given me the option, so I should be able to use it. That's the whole point of difference because there's the Breville air purifier and then there's the Breville smart air purifier. The only point of difference is that you can connect to the stupid Breville app and I can't even bloody do it. It makes me feel like I'm trying to teach my Alma how to use Netflix. You should know better, Mitchell. You should be able to fix it.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I've tried. I don't know. It's actually not anything I'm doing wrong. I don't believe it. No, I've had similar problems with Connie's home camera. Yeah, see, that shit. I'm not bothering with a pet cam because it just won't work for me. I know it.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Or it might work for a few months and then all of a sudden it drops out once and you can never reconnect it again. It worked for two weeks and – I'm with you. I actually think cheap, shitty products work better in some regards than the really expensive stuff. My PlayStation always loses connection with my headset and my AirPods are stupid all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:36 It costs hundreds of dollars. But then the $4 Bluetooth shower speaker that I bought from AliExpress – Yes, it's true. It gets rained on every day in the shower and it's so consistent. It never dies. Do you know what has never let me down? What? I have one of those little Bluetooth clickers so that you can take photos
Starting point is 00:14:51 on your phone from a distance. Oh, yeah. And not have to use, you know, self-timer. I've had it for years and it came for free with a selfie stick and it's never failed. Yes, exactly. It always works. Exactly right.
Starting point is 00:15:01 But, like, actual products, like I just said, the fancy fucking expensive sunglasses with the camera on it or the air purifier, hundreds of bucks, they are fucked. They never work. Maybe that's why poor people are so happy. They don't have to struggle with Wi-Fi. Well, no, that's why I'm unhappy because I am poor and I can't afford to replace it.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I'm like, why did it stop working? Yeah, that's a real issue to be honest. It is. How many people listening to this podcast right now had Wi-Fi issues? Were we cutting in and out? Was the Bluetooth dying as we were giving that rant? Yeah, someone's listening to me rant about connectivity and then they hear boop, boop, boop, boop.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Oh, don't. The AirPods going flat. The worst sound in the world. No. Who can do the best impression of AirPods going flat? Boop, boop, boop, boop. That was really good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Boop, boop, boop, boop. Boop, boop, boop, boop. Oh, I think I won. Yeah, you did. Maybe was really good. I think I won. Yeah, you did. Maybe I'm biased. You won. Is it just me? That's enough of these two. Now let's hear an Is It Just You?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Okay, time for an Is It Just You, something that you listening right now have noticed, hate or appreciate. You can send us a message on a couple of inches on Insta or on Enduring Idiots and we'll get you on the podcast your chance to have an idjim of your own. Gorgeous. Who we got today? We got Jess from Penrith. Hello, Jess.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Welcome. Hi, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Hi, darling. I assume you're a Panthers supporter being a Penrith girl? Oh. Yes, absolutely. A good friend of mine is a Panthers supporter, and she was shattered that the Tigers beat them recently.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I don't want to talk about that. Yeah, I figured as much. Neither do I, for a very different reason. Jesus Christ. This is a gay queer podcast. Panthers are sore losers. That's what I figured out. How are all footy teams sore losers?
Starting point is 00:16:40 Well, listen, she can't even bring herself to talk about it. Yeah, you do sound distraught. Are you unwell? You sound sick. Yeah,'t even bring herself to talk about it. Yeah, you do sound distraught. Are you unwell? You sound sick. Yeah, I think it made me sick, actually. No, they're tears. Alright, well, Bradley's going to count you in and hit us with your idjim, okay? Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Is it just me or... Is cylindrical ice cream superior to other ice cream like rectangular or square type of ice cream? Wait, wait, wait. Cylindrical. Like toilet roll.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah, like a round tub. Yeah, like the big round tub. Give me an example. Yeah, I need an example. Like connoisseur. See, Jess, you're preaching to the choir here. Look, we just said connoisseur at the same time. Yes, I'm so with you.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I don't actually think I've bought a square tub of ice cream. Oh, a tub. I was picturing. I thought you meant like a phallic thing. That's what I pictured. No, no, like a tub. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Like connoisseurs. I think, sorry, Jenna, to interrupt. The fancier the ice cream, the more cylindrical the tub. That's exactly it. Yes. That's true, actually. That is exactly it. I'm going to Google some brands and I'm going to see if that checks out.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Any other ice cream tub, like just the normal streets or whatever, I associate them with vomit because we used to use them as sick buckets. Yeah, the tub, yeah. Or dog food. My auntie used to put the dog food in the empty streets. Yeah, me. Oh, my God, my mum too, actually. I don't feel like people do that anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Has Tupperware just gone through it? Do people just have Pyrex and Tupperware now? Because back in the day, my mum would use anything that had a lid as a container. True. Oh, my God. I caught myself the other day, Mitch, doing that thing you've spoken about many times, using my own Tupperware, like a bowl that I'd eat popcorn out of as a vomit thing. Oh, no, you vomited?
Starting point is 00:18:19 No, I didn't. But Sean had a little bit too much to drink because I'm a darling. I was like, I'm going to pop this next to your bed in case you need it. Thank God he didn't. I was serving food out in case you need it. Thank God he didn't. I was serving food out of that the next day. Thank God he didn't need it. Thank God I didn't come to your house for food the next night. I just said he didn't use it.
Starting point is 00:18:34 You really must listen. Sorry. Okay, here we go. Look at this. Oh, so these are the – okay, ice cream. There's all those fucking ridiculous ice cream flavours now, like the Bubble O' Bill ice cream and the Paddle Pop. Hey, it's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It is good, but look, they're all in cylindrical tubs too. And that's not that fancy. That's not that fancy. But it is boutique. Like it's a limited edition. It feels fancy. Oh, I'm going to show you something that's got to, you're going to immediately think poverty.
Starting point is 00:18:57 You ready for this? Yeah. Blue Ribbon. Ah! Blue Ribbon's okay, but I find that Blue Ribbon, if you pop that in the freezer, it really, really freezes. Like there's icicles in there. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:19:07 There's more pop-up ones than that. Oh, Sarah Lee's in a cylindrical, everybody. That's breaking news. I didn't expect that. Do you have a favourite cylindrical ice cream? Probably Cookies and Cream, the connoisseur. I think that's. With the cookie chunks?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah. Yum, yum. Oh, God. Yeah, like in movies, you always see them go towards a cylindrical top when they're eating out of the top. That's a good point, actually. You do. You know, my favourite ice cream is the ones that replicate the chocolate bars.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Like if they're like the Snickers ice cream and they look like a bar or the Mars bar or you get them in Bounty as well or Twix. Oh, they are. And they're so small. It's like a nice little three-biter and you're done. You know, you don't sit there. Because I'd have no self-control. I will wait for a tub of ice cream to melt and then I'll drink it.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Oh, it is kind of satisfying when it's all running around the edge. I love it when it's running around the edge. Do you ever, like, squeeze the ice cream container to make it a bit more melted around the edge? Yeah, I hold it with my hand. Like you massage it? Yes, all the time. If you put it in the microwave for 10 seconds, the cylindrical one, it goes a little soft.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Now that's your sickness. And it wouldn't melt because it's cardboard. No, it doesn't melt. You can't microwave ice cream. That's risky. I'm pretty sure it's pig week next week or maybe the week after. It's up to us really. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:24 And so should we make it a rule? It's pig week cylindrical only edition. No, I don't like that. You don't want to limit it? Why don't we all just, we'll all bring one cylindrical treat, but we can also, there'll be other treats. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Let's do that. We can all bring one cylindrical item. Anyway, don't forget to hit up Jenna for your prize, darling. Yes. Yes, I will. Thank you. I hope you're feeling a bit better soon. Yeah, get well soon.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Thank you. I've got to be better. I'm seeing you next Friday, Coombs. Oh, yeah. Yay. Yay. Oh, I will. Thank you. Hope you're feeling a bit better soon. Yeah, get well soon. Thank you. I've got to be better. I'm seeing you next Friday, Coombs. Oh, yeah? Yay! Oh, good girl. You know, these two just tried to jump on and buy tickets to come to the show as well. It sold out.
Starting point is 00:20:53 It sold out. And that's how I found out. These two were like, oh, my God, it sold out. Yeah. Oh, well, I can't wait to meet you, darling. You're coming all the way from Penrith too. Yeah, this is my second time. I saw you last time and your mum was talking about my wedding with you.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Well, just so you know, I'm pretty sure my mum's going to be at the Friday night show as well. So you've been warned. She will chew your ear off. Oh, amazing. I'll be there as well. I can't wait to see her. Can you just let me, surely I can hold up our podcast and go, I can come in. Yeah, I'll pretend you're staff.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I'll put you on my rider. Put me in a test chair. Yeah, yeah. Smart. I'm part of the rider. Good for morale, you know. I'll be there too. Come say yeah. Smart. I'm part of the rider. Good for morale, you know. Morale boost. I'll be there too.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Come say hi. Jenna is busy. What? Of course she is. Can I? Yeah, if you want. Okay. We'll sneak you in.
Starting point is 00:21:33 We can get dinner beforehand, Jenna. You can both just transfer me for the tickets. Yeah, we'll pay you. Great. Isn't there something about getting a meal before a show, either it be a stage show or stand-up, whether it's always Thai? I always get Thai. Yes, that is so true.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Isn't that odd? It always is. Even last year, my parents made such a thing of it, getting Thai before the show. Yes, Thai is such a pre-show meal, isn't it? It really is. You wouldn't get Chinese before a show, no way. No. Thai, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Anyway, I'll see you very soon in that case. All right, I'll see you then. Send us a DM, Jess. Thank you so much. Thank you. You can get in touch as well. A couple of Mitch's on Insta. Send us an image of your own and we'll get you then. Send us a DM, Jess. Thank you so much. Thank you. You can get in touch as well. A couple of Mitch's on Insta. Send us an Ijum of your own and we'll get you on.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Right now, oh, my God, this is huge. It's time for this. Ijum Top 5. Yeah, we're doing a Top 5 today. And because we've just had Mother's Day, we're doing the Top 5 TV mums. Oh, TV mums formed me as a human, I think. They're the best. It always seems to be the favourite character, like in your heart,
Starting point is 00:22:25 is the mum on whatever TV show you're watching. Totally. Or the mum figure even. I don't want to discredit Michelle Turi, who's a fantastic mum and is continuing to raise me. But TV mums, they're there when your real mum isn't. They're out at Coles and you're watching Animation Domination on a Saturday morning on Fox 8 and you just fall in love with these mums.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I know. There's something comforting about them. But also, like we said earlier, sometimes the reason you love the character is because they're actually a shocking mother. Yeah. And that's entertaining. And so, how are we going to decide where to rank them in the top five? Do we reward them for being a good mother or do we reward them for entertainment?
Starting point is 00:23:00 Oh, we can do a bit of both if we like. Well, actually, it's not up to you. Oh. We're putting this all on your shoulders, Jenna. We're doing one of these. Jenna decides. Yay. I've been waiting for this.
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's your choice, Jenna. Mitch and I have agreed on a few mums to choose from. Okay. And then get a pen and paper. You're going to rank them one to five. Okay. As the only person who can actually bear children in this room. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:21 You get the final say. Amazing. Okay. I'm ready. Let's start. So it's a bit tricky because I've got the final say. Amazing. Okay, I'm ready. Let's start. So it's a bit tricky because I've got five TV shows. Yeah. But for two of them, there's two mums I couldn't choose between.
Starting point is 00:23:32 So first we have to knock out, it's seven at the moment. First you need to knock it down to five. Okay. Okay, so Modern Family and Kath and Kim. I couldn't decide between Kath or Kim. Yep. Here's just a taste of Kim's mothering. Hey, look at this, Mum.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Epony, epony. Spell cot. It's spelled K-O-T. Goo goo. Oh, the ball is in the bucket. Epony, epony. I think she's going to be a genius. And they do say it skips a generation, which it would have to in your case.
Starting point is 00:23:59 What? So I actually think that Kim turned out to be a good mother on the show. Like she wasn't horrific compared to her mother. I think Kath is a very shocking mother. I know you haven't really watched Kath and Kim. I haven't seen it, and I know you stand by this point, but I feel like I think she's a nice mum. She's brutally honest.
Starting point is 00:24:14 She thinks she's nice, but I think Kath is a bit toxic, especially very fat-shamey towards Kim. Oh, I don't like that. Listen to this. Oh, look at your back, Fat. You're ballooning out on all sides. You're going to be airborne in a minute. Is that a look, Kim?
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yep. It's Jessica Simpson. Homer Simpson, more like. Mum, do you have to belittle me all the time? A little. A little. Well, she would be little. Mum!
Starting point is 00:24:39 Well, Kim, it's embarrassing. I mean, your weight issues reflect badly on me as a parent and on my jean, Poole. That reminds me, make a mental note, Kath. I've, your weight issues reflect badly on me as a parent and on my jean pool. That reminds me, make a mental note, Kath, I've got to get some pool jeans. What are they, Mr. D? Oh, you know, a nice light slack for around the Hotel Lagoon area, Sharon. Okay, this is one of those situations where it's like, is it a good mum because it's a great character? That's funny.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Exactly. This is what I mean. I'm torn because I find that hilarious because it's wrong. Yeah. It's self-aware humour. No, we have to be kind and warm. I think it is best TV mums as someone you'd want to be mothered by. No, Jenna, just go with your gut.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Kath or Kim, go. Okay. First of all, I love Kath as a character, right? I think she's hilarious. But in this instance, I think Kim is a better mum. Wow. Okay. So you're going to knock Kath out of the running?
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yes, unfortunately. Okay. Because I do love her. So Kath played seventh. Well, no. She didn't even make it of the running. Yes, unfortunately. Okay. Because I do love her. So Kath played seventh. Well, no. She didn't even make it on the leaderboard. Didn't rank okay. She got a participation certificate.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Okay. And then Modern Family. Yes. I couldn't decide between Claire Dunphy. Is it Dunphy? Yeah, Dunphy. Dunphy. It sounds like I've said it with a list, but I haven't.
Starting point is 00:25:39 No, you haven't. Claire Dunphy or Gloria Delgado Pritchett. Oh, this is so hard. This is hard. This is another one of those situations because I don't actually think Claire's that great of a mother. Gloria's a brilliant mother. I will say I wanted to find audio of each mum
Starting point is 00:25:53 just to remind people who they are and I really, really had to dig for good Claire moments. This is the best I could find. Your kids don't need to know who you were before you had them. They need to know who you wish you were and they need to try to live up to that person. They're going to fall short, but better they fall short of the fake you than the real you.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Which is why we don't hide anything. That is the opposite of what I just said. Yeah, that didn't really hit home. No. See, her character is, like, funny because she's a controlling bitch. Yes. Like, that's her whole character. And she balances Phil as well.
Starting point is 00:26:23 She's also neurotic. That's part of the charm. Whereas Gloria from Modern Family. I always wanted a daughter to dress her up in pretty dresses, do her hair, her nails, her makeup. No one knows this, but for the first year of his life, I made up money like a girl and told everybody that he was my daughter. And he found the pictures.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I told him that it was his twin sister who died. I think it's a no-brainer who you're knocking out. It's Gloria. He's going to be winning. Great. Okay, so we've got Kimberly Craig Knee Day from Kath and Kim in the running. Gloria from Modern Family. Also in the running for the top five, of course, Marge Simpson. Well, I've learned a lesson.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Just because you're a lesbian, it doesn't make you less of a being. Okay. She's iconic. She's a brilliant mother. She's iconic. Yep. She actually is a good mum, isn't she? Amazing.
Starting point is 00:27:16 She has an incompetent husband. Her children are ratbags. Yep. Lisa's severely bipolar. Yeah. And then, you know, Maggie's pretty easy to mother. Yeah. No, she's very patient. I've never really thought about it hard about Marge as a mother, but yeah, she's pretty easy to mother. Yeah, no, she's very patient.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I've never really thought about it hard about Marge as a mother, but, yeah, she's quite solid, isn't she? Yeah, she's a good mum. She is. What about Carol Brady from the Brady Bunch? I could leave her easily. Really? Surely she gets bonus points for being a stepmother, though.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Yeah. Oh, sweetheart, everybody cares. And I'll bet you your baseball card you can't guess who cares the most. You? Even though I'm only a step? The only steps in this house are those. The ones that lead up to your bedroom. So how about marching right back up there?
Starting point is 00:27:56 Oh, no, I've never even seen that show. Oh, my God. She does nothing for me. What, she had, like, 17 kids? Sounds like bad mothering. She didn't have 17 kids. No, she had three, and then she married a man that already had three. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:28:06 That's the way they all became the Brady Bunch. Yes. Oh, I didn't know that, actually. The Brady Bunch. The Brady Bunch. The Brady Bunch, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. Have you not seen it?
Starting point is 00:28:13 It's a story of a lovely lady. No, please, no. No, I have no interest in her. But, Jenna, I guess you're deciding, so. Okay. No, I do. I do love Carol Brady. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:24 And the final one in the running is Marie Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond. Oh, yes. To make the perfect meatball, the most important ingredient is the love. Without the love, it's just a ball of meat. So bear in mind that she crosses a lot of boundaries. She does. And so she's a bit of a nightmare mother and she always interferes, but, you know, that's kind of the entertainment value of it.
Starting point is 00:28:48 She's very funny. I like her. She is. She's very funny. God, there's so many we left off. Oh, there's so many we could have done. I think people might arc up at us in the DMs or in the Facebook group. Yeah, but these are like the classic ones.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Yeah. I like these ones. Oh, jeez. Okay, so we're going to rank, Jenna. So just to remind you, Jenna, you've got Marge Simpson, Carol Brady, Marie from Everybody Loves Raymond, Kim from Kath and Kim, and Gloria from Modern Family. This is tough.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Okay. Oh, my God. Justify every reason, please. Yep. Jenna decides. Okay. This is a really tough decision. I can imagine.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Because I actually do love all these mums. In fifth place. Wow, didn't think for long, did you? Also, she hasn't written it down. She's just got it all in her head. I know. It gives me so much anxiety when I'm taking my order to do this and you're doing it in a podcast that makes millions.
Starting point is 00:29:40 So, interesting choice, but that's fine. No, it's all in my head. In fifth place, I'm going to go with Kim from Captain Kim. Oh, wow. Iconic character, but compared to the others, she's not the greatest mum. Okay, we're going based on the mothering. What are you basing that on? I think she's a good mum.
Starting point is 00:30:00 She's a good mum, but compared to the others, she's number five. I'm just biased because I love Captain Kim. I would have put her in number one, but that's a good mum. She's a good mum, but compared to the others, she's number five. I'm just biased because I love Kath and Kim. I would have put her in number one, but that's not my decision. But she is very entertaining. What season did she have the kid? She was pregnant in season two, and then season three was when you actually got to see her being a mum. Okay, and how many seasons was the show? Four.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And then they had a telemovie and shit. Okay, okay. Interesting. All right. So you didn't really get to see her be much of a mum. Well, they did do a flash-forward episode, and Kylie Minogue played Eponine. Oh, my God. That's brilliant. I, okay. Interesting. All right. So you didn't really get to see her be much of a mum. Well, they did do a flash-forward episode and Kylie Minogue played Eponine. Oh, my God, that's brilliant.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I did not know that. Okay. Okay, next. I really need to show you that episode. You'll love it. Yeah, I would love that one. It's a great episode. Anyway, in fourth place, I'm going to go with Marie.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Really? From Everybody Loves Raymond? Yeah. Wow. I would have put Kim above Marie. Jesus Christ. loves Raymond? Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:30:41 I would have put Kim above Marie. Jesus Christ. No, she still has that motherly type of love that Kim doesn't have. I don't feel like she's got a cult following either, though. I don't think people are wearing, you know, I love Marie shirts on the street. No, but I'm not judging it based on who's popular. Clearly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:00 We've gathered that so far. Yes. Okay, Marie, interesting. Was Raymond her son? Yeah. Yeah, okay. And same with Robert. And I guess everyone loved Raymond, so she did a good job of raising him.
Starting point is 00:31:10 It's actually scary. Everybody loves Raymond is so reminiscent of my upbringing because my grandparents live right next door to my parents, albeit it's not across the street. They are farms. They're at least over a kilometre away. Yeah. And they're a bit of a pain in the arse too.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Wow. It's like your real life story. And even the fact that they have Robert single living with him, same with my uncle, and then he eventually coupled up, same with Robert. It's very reminiscent. Anyway. Is there any gays in Everybody Loves Raymond?
Starting point is 00:31:37 I don't feel like there's a gay. No. No. It was a sitcom in the 90s. If there was, they would have been the butt of the joke somehow. Totally. They would have killed them off. Anal cancer or something ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Oh, my God. Oh, they always had dumb jokes like that. Like, you rewatch Friends and they're laughing at, who had the trans mum? Oh, Chandler. Oh, Chandler. She was the butt of all the jokes. Yeah, I know. Even Carol and Susan, the lesbian couple, they, like, make fun of them inadvertently.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yeah. Anyway, so we're not going to dissect Friends. No, no. The final two. No, the final three. No, three. Okay. In third place. Oh, my we're not going to dissect Friends. No, no. The final two. No, the final three. Okay. In third place. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's Gloria. Really? Wow. Single mother. Immigrant mother. You're putting in third. Yes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yes, I am. I don't support that. Why? Because. I don't either. Why? She's a single immigrant mother working very hard. Yes, she's a sugar mother and she's got a lot of cash.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Yes, I know. That's why I put her at three. But every episode of that show, she puts many first. Yes. Exactly. Every storyline is her trying to help him with his love life or school projects or becoming the SRC president. I think Gloria deserves to be hired.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I think you're an idiot, Jenna. Well, I think you're both dumb, so shut up. What's the reasoning behind this? I'm going to hold off on my opinion until you tell me who's in number two. Okay. Number two. Yeah. It's Marge Simpson.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Oh, get fucked. Yeah. It's Marge. Which means number one is Carol Brady. No. No. We should never have a little bit of a show. No.
Starting point is 00:33:04 No. Our show. No. No, we should never have a little bit of a show. No, no. Our show. No, give me a chance. I had the same problem with Carol Brady. I could not find any, like, iconic Carol moments because she doesn't speak unless spoken to. She's boring. Like, she doesn't have any standalone moments like Gloria who can hold her own on screen. Carol literally just replies to everyone else.
Starting point is 00:33:22 But it was a different time. And, you know, growing up I watched The Brady Bunch. Same. I'm old. Of course. And I just loved Carol. I thought she was the perfect mum. I don't even know what this bitch looks like.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I bet she's got a bob. Does she have a bob? Yeah. Yeah, of course she does. And, like, one that twirls up. Oh, God! Yeah, it's a bob and a half. Bug-eyed too.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I'm so sorry, but she looks like she's, you know, raising her children in a meth den. It's sort of a mullet in a way, her hair. Is she still alive? No. I don't know. Who's the actress that plays her again? No, Florence Henderson died.
Starting point is 00:33:54 That's right. Yeah, 82. Yes. That's sad. Yeah, it's very sad. Oh, in 2016. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think that was long ago that she died. Oh, the poor thing.
Starting point is 00:34:03 So the number one TV mum is Carol Brady, according to Jenna. Yes. Well, I don't agree. Well oh the poor thing so the number one tv mum is carol brady according to jenna yes well i don't agree well what would you say is number one oh god you say it's hard i know straight off off the bat i want to say kim but because i'm being subjective i would have to put maybe gloria oh interesting she's entertaining and a good mum she's the double whammy no it's marge for me marge is the number one mum. She is so empathetic. She's so kind. She puts up. She's patient, like you said, Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah. She's the best mum. And she's got great hair, great fashion. She also- Great hair? Really? Yeah. Have you ever seen hair like that in real life?
Starting point is 00:34:37 No, never. That's why it's great. Yeah, but I wasn't judging it on how they look. Oh, really? I was judging it on their muscles. Well, that's where you're wrong, Jenna. Yeah, because motherhood is all surface level.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Interesting. Who do you feel that we forgot? Oh, Lois Griffin? No. She's a terrible mum, but she's very funny. I don't watch that show. Really? No, I've never watched it. She's never once noticed that her fucking infant son and her dog can talk. She's clearly just an absent parent.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah, that's a good point, actually. Who else? Who do you think I've missed? I don't know. Because you were saying, oh, there's so many we missed. That's true. Who else did we miss? Oh, so many.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Let us know in the Facebook group. It's called Enduring Idiots, the Facebook group. Let us know anyone we might have forgotten. I mean, obviously, I want to put forward Meg from McLeod's Daughters. I was going to say that. Yeah. There's not that many. There's not that many. You said there not that many. There's not that many.
Starting point is 00:35:25 You said there were heaps. There's not that many iconic mums. I thought there would be. Happy Mother's Day. Oh, but, you know, for Father's Day, let's do a top 20 for dads. This is niche, but what about in Heartstopper on Netflix when Olivia Colman plays one of the little gay kids' mums? She's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:35:42 I love Olivia Colman. I've not seen that show. Should I watch it? Yes. What the fuck? Why have you not watched it? I could have sworn we discussed it on the show. Oh, no, that was on Trash Alley.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Never mind. No, but you. Valet, obviously. You talked about wanting to watch it. Yeah. Like a year ago. Probably not at the moment. The top five that ET have ranked for their top five TV mums,
Starting point is 00:36:03 are you interested to see what the American. The mum from ET. No, Jenna, the entertainment tonight. She was a shocking mum. She let a slimy Sultana enter the house, could have killed her children. No, she's a shocking mum. She didn't listen to her.
Starting point is 00:36:19 She gaslit her kid. I'm used to it. She had a severe drinking problem. Severe. Severe drinking problem. Severe. Severe drinking problem. Severe. Number five on ET's top five TV mums. Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Never heard of her. Well, she had to put up with Bill, so yeah, put her on there. Number four is Marge Simpson. Oh. Oh, wow. Yeah. Number three, Sophia Petrillo, the mum of the mums from Golden Girls. Betty White's mum.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Right, right, right. Wow. Boring. Number two, Sarah Connor from the Terminator. Bull fucking shit. Oh, my God. Who's their number one? Florence Henderson from The Brave Girls.
Starting point is 00:36:58 I told you. Yes. Wow. Okay. I agree. That's really weird, actually. He is right. Well, we had two of the five.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Also, Claire Dunphy was number six. So we're in the cultural zone. So they put Claire above Gloria. Idiots. Yeah, they did. Anyway. What about the mum from E.T.? Jenna, that's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:37:20 She was unhinged, remember? I've never seen it. Oh, my God. It's my favourite movie. Is it? Yeah. Are you serious? You haven't seen E.T.? For someone who reckons it's their favourite movie, I've never seen it. Oh, my God, it's my favourite movie. Is it? Yeah. Are you serious? You haven't seen 18?
Starting point is 00:37:26 For someone who reckons it's their favourite movie, I've never heard you talk about it. Yeah, that's true. You never asked. Yeah, I suppose that's true. It's my favourite movie. It's got three-year-old Drew Barrymore in the role of a lifetime. She wasn't three.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Four. She was like seven. Cut the losses. She's five. The mum has a severe drinking problem and is, like, gambling with the kids or something and then an alien comes in and then the kid hides it. The mum has no fucking idea.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Yeah. She's day drinking. She has a boyfriend on the side. Really bad motherhood. But E.T.'s so cute. Oh, he's so cute. What about when he's in that ditch and he's drained of all his colour and he's white?
Starting point is 00:38:01 Don't. I cried. I cried. I cried. Maybe we should do a top five worst mums. Real or fictional. That's true. No, our mums would not feature.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Of course not. Drew Barrymore's mum. Let's do top three mums out of our mothers. Oh, my God, Jenna, go ahead, do it. No, I can't. No, actually, I couldn't. Do top two out of Jane and Michelle, our mothers. No, I honestly couldn't.
Starting point is 00:38:27 All right, well, fuck, marry, kill instead. Yeah. Okay, well, in that case. I'll do it. I'm going to have to kill Michelle. I can't fuck her or marry her. Well, you could have a sexless marriage just to keep her alive. It's illegal.
Starting point is 00:38:40 We all have to kill our own mothers. No, I'm marrying Jane. I don't care. Oh, fuck. Yeah, I'm marrying my mum. Oh, wow. Oh, fuck. Yeah, I'm marrying my mum. Oh, well, thanks a lot. Turning the tables on me, you bastards. Go on.
Starting point is 00:38:52 I would marry my mum because I accidentally shot her in the foot. She didn't die. And then I'd fuck the brains out of Jane. My mum. Oh, my God, that's awful. I retract all of it. You can't kill Rosalind. Why would you kill my mum? Because she's a wealth hoarder and she lives in a 14 story.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Oh, yeah, because then you'd get the inheritance. Yeah. You're listening to Is It Just Me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. That's me just cleaning everybody. Is that a good sound effect? Yeah, we're doing laundry hacks because we were talking about it last week. Mitchell Cheery at the ripe old age of 27 has finally decided to take his laundry into
Starting point is 00:39:31 his own hands. Look, I took my first load, baby, and I loved it. I'm a little load whore now and I do two loads a day and I feel lighter and I feel more mature. I'm doing the laundry now. It's almost meditative, isn't it? Oh my God, It's fantastic. I put my AirPods in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And because you have to time it for when the sun is out, you're always in the sun. It's beaming on you. Yeah, true. I don't even have a clothesline, so it's never been a problem where I'm like, oh, it's raining. My clothes have been on the line for days. Well, I, Mitch, took a, I did a load this morning. That's why I'm limping. What was your name?
Starting point is 00:40:04 We're doing laundry hacks. And this was sort of spurred on. I hang my clothes wet so when they dry, I put them straight in the laundry. On a coat hanger. On a coat hanger. Hang your wet clothes on a coat hanger. Well, we asked people to send in laundry hacks and Caitlin sent us a text. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:19 So this is going to be improvement on your already solid laundry efforts. Okay. Caitlin says, hi, darlings. Laundry hack. going to be improvement on your already solid laundry efforts. Okay. Caitlin says, hi, darlings, laundry hack, turn clothes inside out before hanging them out on the line, which stops your clothes from fading over time in the sun. I'd do that. Surely the sun gets into the other side, doesn't it? No. Well, it's not direct contact, you know.
Starting point is 00:40:39 It's like you're going to get your face burnt if you face the sun, but if you've got your back to it. That's really good. That's probably the worst analogy ever. My face is a little bit thicker than clothing, but anyway. We didn't really stop down to unpack that, but good point. You know, it's funny. I thought that doing the washing because I will, you know, get home,
Starting point is 00:40:55 I take my clothes off, so then in turn they're inside out, and then they go straight into the washing machine inside out, and then I am purposefully putting them the right way out and then hanging them. So it's actually going to save you. Yeah, exactly. Save yourself the problem and then even just hang them up inside out so you don't have to spend time dedicated to, oh, I've got to turn all these shirts back the right way.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Just do it when you put it on. That's a really good idea. Yeah. Okay, next hack. Like I've stopped putting ironing piles and like, oh, I've got to get this ironing done. If I need a shirt half an hour before I need to start getting ready, I'll pick the shirt, next hack. Like I've stopped putting ironing piles and like, oh, I've got to get this ironing done. If I need a shirt half an hour before I need to start getting ready, I'll pick the shirt, iron it.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I don't iron. Because I don't want to do like an ironing load. Like that could take me hours because I'm such a perfectionist. It's actually better if I've got somewhere to be and I'm like, this is going to have to be a quick iron. Hold on, this is making me anxious. I don't even own an iron. Really?
Starting point is 00:41:40 What? Oh, well, you probably don't need one because you're just doing this bloody coat hanger trick. Yeah, I don't iron. I don't. I dry clean, like suits and business shirts. Your own? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:49 How do you do that? I pay someone down the road. Oh, right. So you don't dry clean? You don't. I don't have a fucking Elmer press in my living room. It's like me saying, yeah, I Uber. No, I'm not a driver.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I just catch them. Yeah, I fly. Oh, you're a pilot? No, no, no. I went to Melbourne on the weekend. Chelsea said, this is her laundry hack, I'm in a family of four and instead of having to separate our underwear and socks, which only go in the dryer, I'll never hang underwear on the clothesline,
Starting point is 00:42:18 we each put our smalls in separate wash bags. You know those nets you can get? Yeah. It saves a lot of lost socks. So I'm imagining that everyone in the family has their own little net that they put their undies and socks in so that when the washing's done, it saves them having to go, oh, fuck, whose undies are these? The amount of times my brother's underwear would end up in my drawers.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah. Things like that. So I love that. And also no walkabout socks. Yeah. What the fuck's with the walkabout socks? Babe, get your're doing the washing yeah but if you get them in the habit perfect i love that i do that when i travel that's my travel pack hack i take a net and then you put all your dirties in it so then it doesn't like you know when you're packing at the end of the trip everything's
Starting point is 00:42:56 dirty and then like in the last few days you're trying to work out which is clean you just put all the dirties straight in the in the laundry bag i'm pretty sure that's what the net part of a suitcase is intended for but i never use it i put my laptop and shit in there dirties straight in the laundry bag. I'm pretty sure that's what the net part of a suitcase is intended for, but I never use it. I put my laptop and shit in there. I put it in the net. I thought it was for fish. I've been taking fresh fish home with me from every flight.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Oh, no. Oh, no. You just go out on a shrimp boat, chuck your suitcase in, tied to a rope. All right, pull her back up. What have we got? Mine's full of pasta. I strain all my pasta out of it. Thank you for that, Chelsea.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Thank you, Chelsea. This is her laundry hack. Hi, Bec. I play baseball and we wear white pants as part of our uniform. The only thing I've found that gets them back to sparkling white again is a can of Coke in the white load. No, that's ridiculous. It sounds counterintuitive, Bec says, but I swear it works.
Starting point is 00:43:44 No, no, no. Explain that again. Coke in the white wash. Yeah, if you swear it works. No, no, no. Explain that again. Coke in the white wash. Yeah, if you want your whites extra white, chuck a can of Coke in there. That's risky. Has she heard of Venish? Like Oxy Action Max? Even sometimes when I use stuff designed for whitening, I'm like, gee,
Starting point is 00:43:58 they've come out a bit grey, haven't they? Yeah, I'm with you. So, I mean, don't knock it till you try it. Maybe the can of Coke is the way to go. Where do you put it? Yeah, I'm with you. So, I mean, don't knock it till you try it. Maybe the can of Coke is the way to go.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Where do you put it? Because maybe it, like, in a way, the Coke stains the white, but then the washing machine lifts it and so it brings any existing dirt with it. True, true. That's just what I'm imagining. I'm no scientist. I might try that then. I might do a little test for us all.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah, please test it. Chuck a two-litre bottle in there if it's really filthy. Fuck yeah. And I'm thinking a 650ml buddy. I'm not thinking a big pet bottle. Now, Olivia says, living out of baskets is my hack. We never have to fold again except socks in this family of five. We all have a basket.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Each takes me 15 minutes to sort over three hours to fold. Oh, interesting. That's smart. So it's like, right, this person's basket, this person's basket. So, yeah, you're going to have to divvy it up. That's interesting. I've got a whites and a darks basket. Yeah, that's normal.'s basket, this person's basket. So, yeah, you don't have to divvy it up. That's interesting. I've got a white and a dark basket. Yeah, that's normal.
Starting point is 00:44:47 That's it. That's all I use. Some people do colours as well, but I don't have that much floor space for an extra basket. It actually is a hassle. I don't have heaps of floor space in my place. And my laundry hamper looks like an ornament. It's like front and centre.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Yeah. Like it's some sort of thing I'm trying to show off. It's something I'd like to keep hidden, but there's no fucking room. Yeah. Well, mine's in my bathroom because that's really only where I strip off. Yeah. My fucking washer and dryer's in the bathroom, which is not ideal, I have to say. Oh, the humidity in there would get hot.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Not only the humidity, but also when you put the dryer on, dust and lint all through the fucking bathroom. And I'm like, I just wiped this sink. Are you fucking kidding me? No, yeah, I'm with you. And I put the air purifier in there. Do you reckon that's an easy process either? Turn on.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Does it work? No. I know it does, but I have to finger it. Yeah, of course. It doesn't work with the connectivity. Yeah, of course. Okay. Katie, who happens to be my high school bestie,
Starting point is 00:45:41 sent in a hack in our Facebook group. Use white vinegar in with white towels and sheets instead of fabric softener. It keeps them white and doesn't leave a residue. This is also good for microfiber cloths as fabric softeners ruin them. Wow. That's a good one. So when people are adding all these ridiculous liquids. White vinegar is not that ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:46:02 No, I know. It's a good cleaning tool. But do you put it in where you put the fabric softener, like in a little pull-out tray? I suppose you can, but I might. You might even just chuck it in the front loader before you put the clothes in. Are you guys front loaders or top loaders? Front loaders.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Really lucky, Sean. Mine's at front. Yeah, no, they're good shit. I feel like a top loader, you mean business. Yeah. Oh, I love the top loader. But you can't keep an eye on it either. No, no, they're good shit. I feel like a top loader. You mean business. Yeah. Oh, I love the top loader. But you can't keep an eye on it either. No, I love it. I think top loader was my
Starting point is 00:46:30 bio when I had Grindr for a bit of work. I. That would make you a bottom, by the way. Yeah. There's no context to that joke. I also have never had Grindr. Yes, my mum has a top loader and that thing shakes like it goes like on the left and the right, the left and the
Starting point is 00:46:46 right. Mine doesn't. I'm not saying, Jenna, I've not been in your house. You weren't actually accused of anything. Yeah, she was so quick to defend I didn't want to even talk into it. She's like, don't talk about my machine like that. I wouldn't give a rock. I wasn't saying it would, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Don't. See, Peg Bundy, what's her fucking name? Who? Who's the mum? Marsha Hines. She would never defend that like that. Carol Braithwaite. Carol Braithwaite. Carol Braithwaite.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Carol Braithwaite, yes. All right, next. Also, someone was backing up your nan in the group with the balls in the washing machine. What was the go with that? Yeah, the woolen bowls or the tennis balls. They iron it. You don't need to iron. Also, I was on TikTok Live the other day and I spilt a bit of like a grease stain on my shirt.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Yeah. And I'm like a sucker for that. I always get grease stains on shit. And I've got the sards that's designed for grease stains. You're going to want to listen to this as someone who's new to laundry. I've got the sards. I've got the sards designed for grease stains. You're going to want to listen to this as someone who's new to laundry. I've got the Sards. I've got the Sards designed for grease stains. No, I just said I've got that, but it doesn't work as reliably
Starting point is 00:47:49 as I would like. And so I was bitching and moaning on TikTok Live saying, I can never get grease stains out. Someone said, put dishwashing detergent on there. No. I did it. Listen. And a lot of people in our Facebook group suggested this as well.
Starting point is 00:48:02 If you put dishwashing detergent on the grease stain and then some bicarb soda. Right. And then I usually put a bit of vinegar as well to make the bicarb soda go, just because that's kind of fun. That's not part of the hack. I just enjoy that part. And then I also get a scrubbing brush and then like really fucking melt that dishwasher bicarb soda paste in.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Absolutely works every time. Wow. Okay. Dishwashing liquid on your grease stains. What's a grease stain? Like fat or something? Like you spill food. Like let's just say you're eating a burrito and the end of it just like a whole of grease
Starting point is 00:48:33 drips out of the end of the burrito. Okay. So dishwashing liquid. A bit of bicarb soda. Yeah. Wow. That's fantastic. And then I scrubbing brush it, which I don't know if you're meant to do that.
Starting point is 00:48:42 That might actually make the stain worse. But in my case, it has not once. I did that. I made a slurry with the Vanish because I spilled butter chicken on my shirt, and I rubbed it, and then it washed. The stain came out, but now you can see where I've scrubbed too hard. Yeah, exactly. I'm an idiot.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Look at these woolen balls. Dryer packs. You put them in the dryer. Sorry, so it's not for the washing. That makes a million more sense. Dryer balls can dramatically reduce your drying time, sometimes by 25%. Oh, it reduces drying time, so it's not for the washing. That makes a million more sense. Dryer balls can dramatically reduce your drying time, sometimes by 25%. Oh, it reduces drying time. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:08 So it's not about ironing. Well, they soften clothes and if used correctly, they'll reduce static. Yeah. Static? Yeah. So what about- As in like when you get zapped after being on a trampoline? Is that what you're talking about?
Starting point is 00:49:18 Yeah, I think so. Look at them. I can't say that's ever been a problem. They also- Oh, they look like sheep. They save drying time. They reduce twisting and static. Yeah, they don't get crumpled up and get the lines in them.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It doesn't really iron it, but it just gets rid of the lines. Yeah, right. Yeah, they look like little sheep. Yeah, they're really good. Oh, cute. But yes, because they get really, really hot, so then they must dry it quicker because they're pounding it. Oh, you've got so much information to play with after this segment.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Oh, I know. This is fantastic. I'm in my cleaning era. I need to start. This is fantastic. I'm in my cleaning era. I need to start cleaning the house now. I'm in my laundry era. You'll get there. I will, slowly. It's only taken me 27 years.
Starting point is 00:49:54 When are you going to get around to cleaning up your act? Hey, give me some tips on how I can clean up my act. Imagine if we got the same amount of notes. They're like, lose weight. Maybe Invisalign Therapy Ozempic Fuck off
Starting point is 00:50:09 Jenny also said, if you leave clothes in the machine and they go smelly And then she's written in brackets, ADHD You can purchase water-soluble eucalyptus oil from the medicine section at the supermarket Pour in a big dash and rewash It eliminates the smell. There you go. That is true. I use one drop of eucalyptus oil in the dishwashing thing.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Really? My mum taught me that. It makes them smell really good too. Makes your clothes smell really nice. Oh, wow. I've also bought, I noticed that smell you get when you leave the washing in there for too long, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:40 I noticed my machine started to smell like that even when there wasn't any washing in there. Oh. Turns out you can just get washing machine cleaner at the supermarket with all the normal cleaning products. It's just one of the smaller bottles. And so I just do a really short load on the bloody dishwasher, on the washing machine with some of that liquid in there. Oh, it smells gorgeous now. Really?
Starting point is 00:50:58 It just feels like a cleanse for the washing machine. Well, you know, I only ever use cold wash. I don't use hot water. My mum taught me that. Yeah, I just do. Apparently you don't need hot water. That's what makes colours run. So if you only ever do cold wash. I don't use hot water. My mum taught me that. Yeah, I do too. Apparently you don't need hot water. That's what makes colours run. So if you only ever do cold, you can wash all the same colours together.
Starting point is 00:51:09 My mum told me that too. Yeah. Well, my sister Nicole actually put a colour run hack in the Facebook group too. Oh, yeah. Hi, Nicole. We love Nicole. Here we go. She says, keep colour run remover on hand in case you have a colour run emergency.
Starting point is 00:51:22 So I probably could have done with that when I fucking turned my white socks red. Pink, I should say, with that red shirt. So what's the hack? Keep colour run remover on hand. I didn't even know that that was a thing. I just kind of accepted my fate and went, well, I've got pink socks now. So what do you do? You have to rewash it with the colour run remover in the cycle?
Starting point is 00:51:38 I guess so. It's a separate product. This is fascinating to me. Some people might find this really boring, but this is like porn to me. No, this is phenomenal. I also thought she was talking about the colour run, that fundraiser run. Oh, do you remember the colour run? Where they throw paint at you.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I'm like, what? What's a colour run emergency? Did someone have a heart attack? Oh, when they run around with like the different coloured powders and shit. Yeah, they throw it at you. That does not look appealing to me. Same with paintball. Fuck that.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Same with Tough Mudder. I have friends in high school like, I'm doing Tough Mudder. Do you want it calm? I'm like, no, I don't want a probe attached to my nipples while I'm running through mud, thank you. Why would you want to do that? People are sadistic. No.
Starting point is 00:52:09 But if you're doing it, good on you. Well done. And it's good for social life. Congratulations. Yeah, congrats. But no, we will not be joining you. Try getting a drink with a friend. That's normal and fun.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Obviously, when we put a call out for people to submit ideas for laundry hacks, there's going to be a couple of smartasses. Nia says, become a nudist. No need to do washing. Very fun. Hilarious. And Demi says, hire a cleaner. Best hack I've ever come across.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Yeah, good one. Not all of us can afford to hire a house cleaner. I have a house cleaner, but I more mean a laundry cleaner. I couldn't afford to have a laundry cleaner. You have a house cleaner? Yeah, hello. You've been like, oh, you sound so out of touch, Demi. I've got a house cleaner, mind you.
Starting point is 00:52:45 No, I shouldn't have said it that way. That was my error. I meant no one has time to pay to get their laundry done. That's ridiculous. But you have a house cleaner. That's different. It's cheap. House cleaners are nothing.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Do you know what's a great gift idea? When my sister had her most recent baby, I got her a voucher, like a hundred buck voucher or something for a mobile laundry service. Yes. Where they like, they give you a bag and you fill it up. They come and pick up the bag, wash it, dry it, fold it, iron it. They do a far better job than you ever could. And then they deliver it back to your house.
Starting point is 00:53:12 In the same day? So she didn't have to worry about, oh, like maybe the next day. Wow. Didn't have to worry about laundry when she had the new baby at home. That's amazing. That's a great gift. Look up mobile laundry services in your area. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:23 If you want to give someone the day off. I also would like to say that having a house cleaner It's not like a live-in She doesn't live in the spare bedroom Unlike Jenna She comes once a fortnight Yeah, of course Yeah, she's got staff
Starting point is 00:53:32 Yeah More than one in her house And I don't trust this bitch I put airpods in while she's cleaning And pretend I'm listening to things But I'm listening to everything she does What does she need to clean in your house? Like what the fuck's getting dirty?
Starting point is 00:53:43 You're never home She mops the floors, vacuums, does the kitchen, the bathrooms. That's really- Why would you deprive yourself of that joy? That's not joy for me. I think it's quickly becoming. Laundry's the gateway. You're going to love vacuuming now.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Vacuuming's fun. So you want me to fire Marvel? That's her name. It's Marvel. You're joking. Like the franchise, yeah. I'm not joking. Well, that is kind of what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Get rid of Marvel. Should I text her? Hey, Siri, text Marvel. Oh, no, it's working. Don't, don't, don't, don't. Oh, did that send? No, it didn't. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Poor thing. I love vacuuming, though. It is fun. The mopping, I get it. But vacuuming, when you hear a good crunch. Oh, yeah. When you're going over the carpet and you hear. Oh, I just got peeps and shit.
Starting point is 00:54:27 I used to be so careful when I was, like, vacuuming around my iPhone cords. Now I let the vacuum just suck them all up and I just pull it back out. What? Yeah, because I used to have to, oh, let me move this. Now, I just vacuum all of it and it sucks all the cords in and they're being sucked up the vacuum tube and then I just stop vacuuming and pull them out.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Like I'm pulling out, like, a colonoscopy tube from an arsehole. That's what it looks like. Sounds like a recipe for getting electrocuted if you ask me, but you didn't ask me, so forget it. Yeah, good call. Anyway, should we get out of here? Yeah, let's go, everyone. Happy Mother's Day once again. Happy Mother's Day.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Hope you had a gorgeous one. You know what, Midge? I got in the lift though. I was worried. Sorry to keep it on the laundry. I got into the lift, Jenna, and we're all in jackets because it's winter it's cold now yeah and finally and my wardrobe is winter like i'm a big boy all my clothes are oversized so in summer i'm black t-shirt black shorts that's it but all my lovely clothes that i love and feel comfortable
Starting point is 00:55:16 in are for winter because i love to cover up um so this denim jacket has been pulled out hasn't been worn in 12 months and i got my lift and i and I said to you, Mitchell, I'm like, because I could smell musty, like it smelled like dirty. Denim jackets are very, very prone to smelling blech after they've been worn for a bit. Can you sniff me, Jenna? Is it me? Do I smell? Do I need to wash this?
Starting point is 00:55:37 No. No? No. Okay, good. I was so worried. No, no, that's fine. Oh, God, I was so worried. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I was like, no, I've smelt that smell before. It's when you've left a denim jacket in the cupboard for ages. Oh, there's one denim jacket I have that will never be the same again because my wardrobe in a place I used to live was under the stairs. I had like a cupboard under the stairs in my room. And so I would hang jackets in there and it was mouldy as fuck. Oh, no. And one of my jackets would just never smell the same again.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Yeah, that'll get you. Yeah, that must be there. Oh, it's awful. No. Mothballs. All right, we'll see you next week, no. And one of my jackets would just never smell the same again. Yeah, that'll get you. Yeah, that must be. Oh, it's awful. No. Moth balls. All right, we'll see you next week, everyone. Thank you for listening. Five-star review wherever you're listening to it right now.
Starting point is 00:56:12 And also, we've recently discovered that you can comment on the podcast if you're using Spotify. Yeah, you can. That's cool. Yeah, people are commenting on the show, and I'm like, fuck, I had no idea. Go comment, everyone, and let us know if you have a laundry hack, or if you've got an easy just you of your own, comment Comment and we'll get you on. All right, we'll see you in a week. Happy Mother's Day, all the mums out there.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Happy Mother's Day. Love you, 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 is done and dusted and then we keep talking shit aimlessly.
Starting point is 00:56:55 We continue for quite a while. Yeah. Well, depends. Have you got somewhere to rush off? No, no. Is it going to be a, oh, shit, it's Madonna. No, I did get a producer. No, it's not. I'm interviewing Shouse.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Who? Shouse. Who? Oh, that, it's Madonna. No, I did get a producer. No, it's not. I'm interviewing Shouse. Who? Shouse. Who? Oh, that's Shouse. Didn't ring a bell the second time? Thank you so much for clarifying. Shouse, here we go. There's a prep sheet.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Let's see what's in there. I don't know who they are. They've got a new song. They'll be lovely. I'm pretty sure my management emailed the Kiss team asking about doing the rounds to promote my comedy shows. And so you're telling me that you'll get shouse on your radio show but you won't get your mate Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Oftentimes when there is a musical artist and they've got a song, there's been back and forth with the music team and I just get lumped with an artist because we have to play the song for other reasons. Right. But other guests go through. So your producer must hate me. Yes, totally. Apparently they didn't even get a reply. No. Oh, no. It's fine, bitch. I sold out anyway. That's shocking. But other guests go through. See, a producer must hate me. Yes, Tony. Apparently they didn't even get a reply.
Starting point is 00:57:45 No. Oh, no. It's fine, bitch. I sold out anyway. That's shocking. You didn't need it. You should have just like looped me in, emailed me, CC'd me on there.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I did say to you, by the way, they're going to go the official routes, but this will be happening. I know. And I said to you, obviously, I was like, listen, I won't take it personally. If you don't want me on your radio show, that's your thing. You can keep it separate. It's all good.
Starting point is 00:58:05 But then they didn't even reply. Why does Tony hate him? Should we get Tony on? No, that's so awkward. Yeah, it's a real confrontational thing. It's fine. I've got my own fucking show. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Friday's sold out if you're in Sydney, but Wednesday night, which is if you're listening when this episode comes out, a couple of nights away, come on out. Go get tickets. I will say I pitched you for the pickup actually because a massive, like ten times the audience of nights. And also mums love, you know, a camp gay man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:32 So I pitched you for pickup. Did you? Of course I did. And that obviously didn't get off the ground, did it? Oh, no. Oh. No. She hates you.
Starting point is 00:58:39 But they're doing a shouse takeover. No, shouses on the show for nights for a three-minute interview. So she's taking over. It's a he. Who said no when you pitched it? I'm not worried. They didn't say anything. No one said anything.
Starting point is 00:58:54 What? We pitch on email. I go, hi, guys, these are my ideas and what I want for the week. And I send it. And then it all happens. And then the pitch was, hi, because I'd spoken to you, Mitch's team is going to loop you in. They went, love it, XXX. That's it. That's where it all happens. And then the pitch was, hi, because I'd spoken to you, Mitch's team is going to loop in. They went, love it, XXX.
Starting point is 00:59:08 That's it. That's where it was left. And then I forgot. So they obviously don't love it, XXX. Well, we still have a week. Who knows? Mitch Coombs on the pick-up, although we have a ridiculous show. What?
Starting point is 00:59:19 By the time this comes out, it'll be announced. But Laura Byrne, who's my co-host on the pick-up, is on Dancing with the Stars. Wow. So next week it'll be fucking dancing. Unless you wantne, who's my co-host on the pick-up, is on Dancing With The Stars. Wow. So next week it'll be fucking dancing. Unless you want to come on and dance for a bit, won't you? Dancing on the radio. She's dancing on television, not on your radio show.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Yeah, I know. But you know what? We have to talk about that forever now. It's going to be our talking point. Yeah, all right. Dancing With The Stars. Yeah. Your stream of consciousness now is just so fascinating.
Starting point is 00:59:43 You're like, oh, there's still a next week. We could get going. Actually, no. We'll be talking about Dancing With The Stars every day for an hour. Sorry. No, Kendu. We will. We have Sonia Kruger on twice.
Starting point is 00:59:52 She's the host. What about Shouse? Just once a night. Leave it with you, Mitch. I'll make some calls. No, no, it's fine. I'm just stirring you. But having said that, clearly your producer wants me dead. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:02 I will talk to her about that because I sent an email twice. Apparently she didn't even reply to my management. That's what I've been told. Maybe it went to junk. I was going to say, could have. It could have. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. What other talent on your roster would we have been emailed?
Starting point is 01:00:19 I checked my inbox when you told me this and it's not in my inbox, so I wasn't CC'd on it. Because if it was, I would have. Whenever I get an interview request that comes to me, I go, here's my executive producer. She'll sort it and then loop it in. So I didn't get it. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:00:31 No, it's fine. I'm not worried, but yeah. Well, you've sold out, which is huge news. I've sold out the Friday night show, yes. Oh, yeah, you've still got Wednesday, then Melbourne. Yeah. How soon thereafter is Melbourne? End of the month, like 27th, I think.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah. That'll be fun. Yeah. So we be fun. Yeah. So we're going to have to have another muck up week where you guys do all the producing, so to speak. We can get that done. That'll be fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Let's do it, Jenna. Yeah. So you've got time to think of a ridiculous idea that normally I'd say, now that's stupid a la Top 5 Doorbells. We've done Top 5 Mums. Yes. TV Mums. TV Mums.
Starting point is 01:01:01 We did Top 5 Bums. Do you want to do it? TV Bums. TV Bums. TV Bums. Oh my God,. Bums. Do you want to do it? TV bums. TV bums. TV bums. Oh, my God, what bums have been on TV? Bums have been. Well, I'll leave that with you then.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Leave it with us, of course. Yeah. How have we all been otherwise? Sean got a new job. Congrats to Sean. Can we talk about that on the air? I don't know. Oh, did he get a new job?
Starting point is 01:01:18 Yeah, I don't know if he wants me to talk about that. No, congrats, Sean. That's all we'll say. Well done. Because he didn't even want to say precisely what his old job was, remember? No, of course. Well, we're just going to say he has a new job. He's just vague about it and goes, I work in politics. That's all we'll say. Well done. Because he didn't even want to say precisely what his old job was, remember? No, of course. Well, we're just going to say he has a new job. He's just vague about it and goes, I work in politics.
Starting point is 01:01:28 That's it. Yeah, that's all. We're not going to say anything more. No. Well, he's got a new job with a fat pay rise. Oh, wow. Yeah, sugar daddy. Congratulations, Sean.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Yeah. I didn't even realise that Hungry Jacks were hiring still. It's awesome. It's awesome work. Yeah. You know what? If I had to work at one of the fast food chains, it would be Hungry Jack's awesome work. Yeah. You know what? If I had to work at one of the fast food chains, it would be Hungry Jack's. Really?
Starting point is 01:01:49 Yeah, the burgers are so much better. Oh, they've brainwashed you. No, they are. The Whopper with the mayonnaise and the burgers are flame grilled. There's char on it. Yeah, but you're not there to eat. You're there to work. Jeez, wow.
Starting point is 01:02:00 What's up with you today? God, Jenna, are you a manager there or something? When there's leaning, there could be cleaning, bitch. I know. And when I bitch about my mum's washing machine, you defend your fucking breville. It's a top loader, okay? Sorry.
Starting point is 01:02:14 So is he. Oh, yeah. So a top loader would make me a bottom, wouldn't it? I don't know. Yeah, because you're loading into a top. So that would make you a bottom. Into? Onto?
Starting point is 01:02:25 It depends. Park it here, mate. How would you get that stain out of your clothes? Depends what colour clothes. Actually, it just comes out. I don't say comes. Sorry. It just goes out.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Yeah. Should we do Idjim branded woolen dryer balls? God, I hate it when this happens. What? When you come up with a hair brand idea and then for months, even years upon end, we get DMs being like, when are you doing that? We still get messages about the fucking Ijum car fragrances. What happened there?
Starting point is 01:03:00 It was minimum order 2,000. And I was like, I'm just not confident we're going to sell 2,000 car fragrances. And I don't want to be stuck with them. It's too many. That's a lot. I wonder if we could make our own. Remember when the receptionist here at Kiss at the start of the pandemic, when hand sanitiser was really hard to come by,
Starting point is 01:03:18 she YouTubed how to make hand sanitiser and then made bootleg hand sanitiser. Oh, yeah. I did a video making our own hand sanitiser because it was sold out everywhere. Yes. It's just like a bit of rubbing alcohol. What else was in there? You need to make it a bit thick. There's something you put in there to make it jelly-like.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Correct. But the receptionist. But it's really fucking potent. Yes, she did it and she put it in all the hand machines around the building. It burnt my hand. Yes. We had four staff members with third-degree burns. I'm not joking. She just put acid in there? Yeah, she put green. It burnt my hand. Yes. We had four staff members with third-degree burns. Yes. I'm not joking.
Starting point is 01:03:45 She just put acid in there? Yeah, she put green food dye in it so it kind of looked like green. Anyway, she's no longer with us. I think she's in federal prison. Yeah. She burnt so many people's hands. Oh, my God. It was burning.
Starting point is 01:03:56 I put it on too. I'm like, this is really potent. Yes. It was just alcohol. What an idiot. Speaking of DIYs, I made my own clits last night on Instagram. I saw that. I was watching your Instagram for a bit on one of 12 platforms.
Starting point is 01:04:08 I caught the end of it on LinkedIn and it was phenomenal. One of 12 platforms. No, I was like going through all my socials and you were live on every platform. I like to fucking work smart, not hard. If I'm going live, I'm going live everywhere. I agree. I was very impressed. But I watched on Facebook for a bit and I don't think you knew I was there.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I was making my own clits for the comedy show. So if that doesn't entice you to buy tickets in Sydney or Melbourne, I don't know what does. One of my handmade clits. What was your source material for the clit? I printed out a diagram. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:38 I was going to do what it looks like internally. That was too fiddly. They're quite complex, the clit. They are. And so I just focused on the external. So I made flaps and then a little bean on top. Lovely. Oh, that was too fiddly. They're quite complex, the clit. They are. And so I just focused on the external. So I made flaps and then a little bean on top. Lovely. Oh, that's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:04:49 You should have brought it in so Jenna could have critiqued. Yes. We don't really have any hands on. Oh, not to worry. That's Sean. Sorry. Answer it. Take it.
Starting point is 01:04:59 What? Hello. How are you? I'm recording the podcast. What do you want? Oh, I'm sorry. No, no. I'll call you back if that's important. Hi, Sean. Hi, Sean. It's so fine. What do you want? Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, I'll call you back. It's unimportant.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Hi, Sean. Hi, Sean. It's so fine. We love you. Oh, he's flipping burgers. You can hear him. I thought you would have finished ages ago. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:05:15 We're doing the show. It's all good. How are you? I'm sorry. I'm really well. Congratulations on the new job. Yeah, congratulations. They were talking about it before and said, oh, are we allowed to talk about Sean's new job? I said, I don't know, actually.
Starting point is 01:05:26 So we'll just leave it at that. You've got a new job. I did go into detail. We've started to rumour that your new job is at Hungry Jack's. He didn't deny it. He's cleaning the floor. Are you at a public
Starting point is 01:05:43 children's pool? No, I'm at the local shopping centre Ah, same energy Well, I'll tell you what I need to do What I'm terrified to do Is I'm going to tell my kids That I'm cancelling their play Because I've got a new job
Starting point is 01:05:57 And I can't be there anymore Because he's a drama teacher on the side And the new job means he can't do that anymore Oh no I'm literally just pacing to the shops Not even buying anything Oh, are you about to go just pacing to the shops, not even buying anything. Oh, are you about to go into the class? Slap myself up, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Oh, you should film it. I've seen those videos go viral, teachers breaking up with their class. Yeah, they do, actually. And because it's a drama class, you're obviously quite an actor. You better cry on cue. And they better cry on cue as well. They will, they will. I've got a lot of pride of hiding on this moment.
Starting point is 01:06:24 You know that after we went to lunch with Nan, she asked if you got the job or not because you must have mentioned you had a job interview. Did I? Yeah. Oh, God, I told you I'd be fired by Nan. I must have been one of the first people ever. Sorry, Tunnel.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Anyway, so I'm interrupting you. I'm going to just give you a call back when you're done. Yeah, right. Sorry, Tunnel. Yeah, he deserved it. No, he didn't. We did end up going to lunch with Nan. Thanks for asking. Oh, yes. I back when you're done. Yeah, right. Sorry, Tunnel. Yeah, he deserved it. No, he didn't. We did end up going to lunch with Nan. Thanks for asking.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Oh, yes. I messaged you an ass off the record. Yeah. I saw her photo. Yes, I texted you. Yeah, I put it in the Facebook group. Yeah, that was cute. I said, how was your lunch with Nan?
Starting point is 01:06:56 Yeah. I think I wore her out by the end. She was really chatty at the start and then towards the end she was starting to fade, I could tell. Oh, she died, yeah. Yeah. Bless her. Sean's such a sweetheart.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. That's all. So we do. We can only hope, can't we? We can. That's all we can at the end of the day.
