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.
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.
I'm okay.
Not much.
Not much.
How are you feeling?
Yeah, I'm alright.
I've been better.
Yeah.
I'm good.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
Shake it out.
Okay.
Breathe in.
Why are my eyes closed?
Okay.
Sorry.
Breathe in and out.
That didn't work
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
I'm assuming murder.
Yeah.
Drugs, definitely.
Hitman.
Yeah, cocaine.
Bag.
Probably bag as well.
True.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Come say hi.
Jenna is busy.
What?
Of course she is.
Can I?
Yeah, if you want.
Okay.
We'll sneak you in.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Justify every reason, please.
Yep.
Jenna decides.
Okay.
This is a really tough decision.
I can imagine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Really?
From Everybody Loves Raymond?
Yeah.
Wow.
I would have put Kim above Marie.
Jesus Christ.
loves Raymond?
Yeah. Wow.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
It's Gloria.
Really?
Wow.
Single mother.
Immigrant mother.
You're putting in third.
Yes.
Wow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
I told you.
Yes.
Wow.
Okay.
I agree.
That's really weird, actually.
He is right.
Well, we had two of the five.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
No.
No?
No.
Okay, good.
I was so worried.
No, no, that's fine.
Oh, God, I was so worried.
I disagree.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
All we have is hope.
That's all we have.
All right.
We'll see you in a week, everyone.
Yep.
Can't wait.
Pig week incoming.
I don't think next week.
I think we do it the week after.
Yeah, okay. Officially. I think we have next week. Well, the week after is Pig week incoming. I don't think next week. I think we do it the week after. Yeah, okay.
Officially.
I think we have next week.
Well, the week after is the week that I go to Melbourne, I believe.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
It's your call.
It's yours, actually, because that's the week that I rock up and I do nothing.
Apart from talk.
I don't know.
Dorian, I'm stressing.
It's pig week next week or the week after? It's the week after.
Okay. Sweet. Alright, we'll see
you next week, everyone. Thanks for listening.
Bye, Bob. See ya.
