Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you. Hello you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Yeah, no one says the word turn as an adult. You know how kids would be like, can I have a turn?
Starting point is 00:00:17 You don't say that shit as an adult. Can I have a turn in your car? I want a turn. Now! It's my turn! Now, here's Mitch Curie and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you.
Starting point is 00:00:33 We're back. Welcome back. Long time no see. Actually, that's not true. It isn't long time no see. Like a short amount of time no see. I've actually been seeing you outside of the studio. Can you believe it?
Starting point is 00:00:42 I know. Someone messaged me and they're like, it always surprises me when I realise that you two are actual friends. Really? Did they say that? No, they said it's lovely to see you two socialising outside of the studio because people only ever see us confined to this podcast studio. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:56 And there was a good few years there where we didn't socialise much. Literally never. Yeah. Ever. And we've socialised more in the last two weeks than we have in fucking five years. I know. Thank God you've come to see me, two weeks than we have in fucking five years. I know. Thank God you've come to see me, living with my parents now. We've been on beach walks.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Well, just the one, to be fair. It was a long beach walk, though. It could have gone over two days. Oh, when I look at my health thing on the iPhone, my steps are the highest on that day. I'm like, how am I ever going to top that? Well, buy me dinner first. Don't be foul. Yeah, listen, we've had a good little break.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I've enjoyed it. I was well needed this rest. Pricekeeper Jenna's here, of course. Hi, Jenna. Hi, I'm here. Great. Don't sound so overjoyed. Hi, I'm here with a gun to my head.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Yes. Well, Jenna's moving house tomorrow. It is true. I'm moving. Literally, I've just been through it. It's hell on earth, Jenna. Oh, thanks for that. Is yours sponsored or do you have to do it yourself?
Starting point is 00:01:45 No, I have to do it myself. Oh, my God. I know. I asked if it could be sponsored and they said, we can take $50 off if you can post about it. Oh, they didn't do a freebie? No. They don't realise who you are.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Exactly. So I said, I'll decline this offer. $50 off? Plus a social post. What a shit deal. I know. I've got to say, though, I'm a bit fucked off because both of you moved house recently and I was like an excited little puppy wagging my tail.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm like, can I help you pack? Can I help you move? And both of you declined. I'm quite fucking good at it these days. I've moved a bunch of times. No, you came over to help me move, but it was on Taylor Swift Ticket Day. So Mitch came over with four laptops and an iPad strapped to his fucking head. And I was like, oh, you want to help me pack my kitchen?
Starting point is 00:02:30 He's like, hold on. They've just released Roe B. Please do not fib. You know that's not what happened. I rocked up and you said, oh, mum and I pretty much packed everything. I was like, that can't be right. There's got to be something that I can pack. And you're like, no, not really.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I was so furious. I was looking forward to it. A few of my's got to be something that I can pack. And you're like, no, not really. I was so furious. I was looking forward to it. A few of my friends have moved recently and I've offered to help and they're like, no, no. I'm like, what the fuck? I think we're different people though. I'm not going to speak for you, Jenna, but I don't want my friends helping me pack.
Starting point is 00:02:56 It's so personal and also it's so, I just want to, I want to do it my way. I want to know what's in what box. I want to label it to a T. Because when it comes to unpacking, I want to know what's in what box. I want to label it to a T. Because when it comes to unpacking, I want to know what's in every box. Yeah, I've got a system. Trust me. I'm an acts of service kind of bitch.
Starting point is 00:03:11 That's why I like to help with these things. Well, you did give me the tip when I was doing my You Could Use This, Jenna, when I was emptying my drawers with all my clothes in them. Mitch was like, I was just going to dump them all in a box and then tape it up and ship it. And then Mitch was like, put them all in garbage bags. So I put my undies in a garbage bag, my shorts in garbage bags, my pants in garbage bags. And then when you get home, you just, you write on the bag, you just cut it open and
Starting point is 00:03:30 put them straight back in the drawer. Yeah, I pack everything. Like I don't categorize it with like electronics, blah, blah, blah. I actually just write on the box where it came from. So it'll be like side table, top left drawer, TV cabinet, bottom right. So when I'm unpacking, I can just yeet, chuck it all back in there. Don't even have to think about it.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Seriously. That's smart. It was very smart. My move was seamless. Although I had to move from my home with obviously my ex, still very weird to say, and then into my childhood bedroom. So I had a two-storey house, like a three-bedroom home, a kitchen full of shit collected over the last five years
Starting point is 00:04:06 to condense it down to my childhood bedroom where I learnt to masturbate. Okay, the childhood home is hardly piddly and tiny. It's quite a spacious home. I think you'll be fine. It's a lovely home, but I still learnt to masturbate between those walls. And?
Starting point is 00:04:22 And it's just the trauma there because I'm there now masturbating. Nothing else to do and my style has changed. It sounds a bit self-sabotaging because you chose to move home and now you're acting like, oh, I've been putting through trauma. Well, I've got an update on my move home journey. I've got a lot of lovely messages from the idiot. So later in the show today, I'll tell you how I'm faring with my parents and my little sister because some things have happened.
Starting point is 00:04:49 So we'll talk about that. When I go visit my parents' place and I go back home for a bit, it's usually like seven days. That's when I'm like, okay, that's enough. So you will probably find her in the first week. I reckon after a while you're like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm living at home now. Well, it's two weeks today, officially, since the move. And we're doing okay.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Only one argument. But I'll tell you about that. We'll talk about that. Also, a little bit later, we're going to let you know when we're doing our apparently annual Talk Back Tings live episode. Oh, my God, yes! So get your calendars out, get your pens ready, and you'll be able to jot down the date.
Starting point is 00:05:21 We'll let you know the plan in a bit. Oh, my God. You know, I think we started the annual trend. Like everyone's doing dry July this year. Dry July. I was driving home to work today to do this show and I shit you not, it was do something nice for someone July. I've never heard of that.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Neither have I. I certainly wouldn't practice what I preach. No. The billboard driving past Sydney Airport said, be the one to take your headphones off and say hello. Hashtag say something nice to someone July. I'm like, that doesn't A roll off the tongue. So is it say something nice to someone?
Starting point is 00:05:58 I'm going to have to Google. Yeah, double check. Let me check. It's say something nice to someone. And I'm not taking my headphones off. If someone walked up to you, Jenna, and said, pulled your headphones off. I'd scream. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You'd pepper spray them in your nose. But I've just Googled it. It says that National Say Something Nice Day is June 1st. So since when is this July thing a month of niceties? I've never heard of it. They're liars. National Say Something Nice Day, June 1st. You're right.
Starting point is 00:06:25 So that billboard's a bit out of date. My point is. Well, thank God we're off the hook. We don't have to be nice. I agree. Fuck you, Jenna. Oh, we missed it again, June 1st. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:06:33 We all have headphones on. We didn't bother taking them off. We're cunts. We started the annual trend. It's our thing. We did it. We did it before the Olympics. We never even discussed making it annual.
Starting point is 00:06:42 But last year when we were doing Talk Back Tings Live, the live streamed episode where people can call in, you were like, the first annual. I was like, oh, okay then. I think I said it because saying it out loud, it sounds so nice, but those words carry a real meaning. They do. Like the first annual. I think I did a voice as well as to be dumb.
Starting point is 00:07:00 What about your childhood bedroom? That was where your first annual without the U. So first anal occurred. Oh, no, it didn't. Oh, okay. Did it? Yeah, no. Well, it's not the first one, but it has happened in that room, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Thanks for sharing. No worries. We brought it up. That's beautiful. I did get a new koala mattress, although it hasn't been broken in. I haven't used it yet. I mean, I've slept on it, but I haven't, you know. What do you mean when you say breaking in?
Starting point is 00:07:25 Fucked on. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, it hasn't. it, but I haven't. What do you mean when you say breaking in? Fucked on. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, it hasn't. Well, that's up to you. You've got time. Yes, what, before I perish? Hopefully in the next 70 years, I'm sure I've got plenty of time. Koala mattresses last a long time.
Starting point is 00:07:41 They do. Yeah. Like koalas, though, I hope it's not where I get chlamydia. Yes. That would be rancid. That would be. Although I've never had an STI. Maybe this is, I'm in my STI era.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I don't know if that's something you want to strive for. It's a good story. I mean, it's not the worst thing to happen. If you get a little dose of crabs or something, you'll be right. There's many packs. A dose of crabs. Just three or four crabs. Just to say you've done it.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It's like chicken pox. You've all got to get it once. I agree. Have you had STI? No, actually. Really, Jenna? Why do you sound so shocked? It does shock me that you haven't.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Like a herpes or you'd get like a gonorrhea or something. And you'd fix it up with a round of antibiotics. Yeah, no, I've never had to. Fuck, maybe I should do it for the team. I think you should. My annual STI. Yeah, just so we've got someone to give their two cents to talk about their experience. I've got nothing to offer.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I got asked to be part of some HIV prevention awareness campaign and I was like, I don't have much to offer. I've never been on PrEP. I've never had an STI. I can't, I have no experience to speak of. Sorry, that's not funny. I just pictured. I mean, obviously be safe, everyone.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Slap a dinger on it, but that's all I've got to say. Slap a dinger on it. No, I just pictured that might come into you like, we're going to use you as the face of someone no one wants to fuck. Don't get HIV. Look like this. Oh, wow. That is so not what the role was.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Not with your 10k weight loss. Doesn't he look great, Jenna? I was going to say. Skinny. You walked in today and I thought they were projecting a hologram of the Willy Wonka trailer. I thought it was Timothee Chalamet today at the reception. Chalamet. Timothee Chalamander, the Pokemon. Timothee Valet car park. Hey, on the weekend, are you free?
Starting point is 00:09:21 What? I just want to take you to Timothee Valet. Hey, on the weekend, are you free? What? I just want to take you to the Timothy Ballet. Yes, no, no, thank you for choosing the ridges. We hope you enjoy your Timothy Shales day. If he was a horse, or Timothy Shall and Hay.
Starting point is 00:09:42 What do you feed a horse? Timothy Shall Hay. Well, you feed a horse? Timothy Shall Hay. Well, you feed Timothy Shall a nay. Timothy Shall a hay. Gotcha. You're a Timothy Shall ray of sunshine. Timothy Shall a gay, that's what we are. He's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You shouldn't use he pronouns. He could be Timothy Shall they. That's a good one. We don't assume gender in this house. We donothee Chalvet. What's that going on? We don't assume gender in this house. We don't. We don't. And Wonka, if anyone, is non-binary. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:11 All that purple velvet. He owns a chocolate. They own a chocolate factory. Yes. Oh, fuck. What happened? I did a load of whites and didn't realise there was a black sock in there. So now everything's gone Timothee Chalgray. Sounds like Timothee Chalot-Gray. It now everything's gone Timothy Shall Grey. Okay. That sounds like Timothy Shallow Grave.
Starting point is 00:10:26 It does, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah. My favourite comedian, Timothy Shallatina Faye. What's his grandmother's name? Timothy Shall Mavis. See, we kill it. We always kill it.
Starting point is 00:10:41 How did we get here? I don't know. It doesn't really matter. Annual pig week, I think we were talking about. I don't know. Wonka. Oh, you look good because you walked in today. That's it.
Starting point is 00:10:51 You walked in today looking like Timothee Chalamet because you're in like a stripy blue shirt and it's all tucked in. You've got new glasses on. You look great. They're not even new glasses to tell you the truth. They're like, I've had them for more than two years, I reckon. And I never wear them. I always forget.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And then maybe in the last month or so, every time I wake up, I have to put eye drops in because they're all red and stinging. And I'm like, maybe if I just wear my fucking glasses, I won't have this problem with the strained eyes. And does it work? So far, so good. Who would have thought? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Who would have thought? Yeah. But it's like, they're short-sighted glasses. So my laptop screen in front of me is absolutely crystal clear, whereas you're a fucking blur all the way over there. Am I? Yeah. Your skin's never looked better from my point of view.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Wow. I've been sticking the finger up to you the whole show. It's like you've got the Paris filter on. Oh my God. A living Paris filter. Yeah. God, I remember when I used to Melbourne everything. No, that one's foul.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I don't like Melbourne. I used to want one's foul. I don't like Melbourne. I used to want to live there. I'm like, Melbourne. And people would know I'm artsy. That one makes you look real pasty, like Timothee Chalamet. It does, you do, yeah. He looks Timothee Chalamet-nourished at the moment. He needs a burger.
Starting point is 00:11:56 He's hungry. Did you hear about that man that was attacked by the lion? He was Timothee Chalamet-nourished. Awful, awful, awful. Awful. The show's just started and we're at this point. I'm going to pottery classes to learn to make shit out of Timothee Chalclay. Yeah, well done.
Starting point is 00:12:15 All right. What else is coming up? Oh, the new segment we're launching. Oh, yeah, no. You've come up with a gorgeous name for it. Don't even spoil it, I reckon. Ew, what's coming to your mouth? Oh, you just took a sip of tea and the bag went down your throat.
Starting point is 00:12:28 The top's gone. Oh, you've inhaled a bit of paper. I think I swallowed the tab. You must have let the tea bag fall back into the cup and you've just had a sip and you've accidentally inhaled the paper bit. Did you see that? Or is the paper floating around in the cup still? We'll know when I get to the bottom of it, won't we?
Starting point is 00:12:43 That's a good way to put you into this episode. I'll just get to the bottom of that. Yep. What a lovely cup of Timothy Earl Grey. Don't be so Timothy cliche. All right. If it's your first time listening, this is Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show the same.
Starting point is 00:12:57 With something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. For me, this week, it's been a combo of something that I've hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, and then I've come to appreciate a hack that I've found that everyone can connect to on this level. I think mine's a hybrid too. Oh, really? It's something that I hate, but it's grown on me, so I've learned to appreciate, I guess.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Mine's quite- But I hate that I appreciate it. Mine's like, okay, well, let's do mine, because mine's like a PSA. Yeah. It's pretty, it'll be fleeting. And I want- A Timothy Schell PSA. No, that's a reach. That's a a PSA. Yeah. It's pretty. It'll be fleeting. A Timothy Schell PSA. No, that's a reach.
Starting point is 00:13:27 No, that's still a killer. It's dead. It's dead. Get your phones out, you two, okay? Okay. You'll need your phones for my agent. Let's go. Is it just me or?
Starting point is 00:13:38 Did you not know that you could reset your TikTok algorithm? I don't know if you can, though. You can. Really? You can. You can put a gun to its head and go, stop showing me sad breakup videos. Stop showing me videos on attachment styles. And this is a PSA for all people of all ages.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And this is getting serious for a second. Obviously, spoken about the breakup that's happened a couple weeks ago. I live with my parents like we're in no contact um and it's been a bit grim right but obviously i've liked a few breakup posts on my tiktok and liking a video tells the brain that lives inside tiktok the algorithm to go let's show him more of this shit let's give this sad chumpy whale boy some more breakup. So I've been getting breakup posts, attachment style, no contact, talk, do this, say this, do this, be this person, gay, and that knows I'm gay
Starting point is 00:14:32 so it gives me hot, cute looking boys. I was just in this doom scroll of depression. The content was not making me feel good at all. Which is what TikTok arguably is for. Yes. Silly little shit as escapism. I know. Where are the videos of people kicking glass jars down stairwells?
Starting point is 00:14:49 I know. I love those. Now I can't find them anymore. I don't know what's happened, but remember how we used to do TikTok school on this show? Yeah. I used to just see funny little things on there, bring it into the podcast and we'd do it. But I've got the same problem.
Starting point is 00:15:01 My algorithm's just like deep, depressing shit at the moment. Yes. And I'm like, we can't really do that. We can't got the same problem. My algorithm is just like deep, depressing shit at the moment. Yes. And I'm like, we can't really do that. We can't do our take on that challenge or whatever. I wonder if it's bigger than that. I wonder if everyone's feeling this way. So hang on. Did you manage to reset yours?
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yes. Because I Googled how and I tried it and it has not fucking worked. No. So TikTok are clearly fully aware that people might want this. It's a new feature. So get your phone. Yes. Go to TikTok.
Starting point is 00:15:24 So we're resetting our For You page. Yes. There's an actual dedicated button for it. So go to your page. Go to your profile. Go to the three lines at the top right. Settings and privacy, of course. Then you want to go to content preferences. It's got the little video camera icon. Oh, this is new. Ready? This is new. Then refresh your For You feed. This is what it says. Ready?
Starting point is 00:15:49 That's fantastic. So it's a photo of a little elephant. Want a fresh start, it says? We'll show you popular videos to launch your new news feed. Oh, thank God. Then there's a heart. The more you interact, the more personalised your feed will be, including ads if they're relevant.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Your following feed, profile and inbox won't be affected. Right. I'm finger bashing that continue button so great. Ready? One, two, three. Refresh. Thank God because last time I tried this, that button wasn't there and Google just said to like clear cache or some shit,
Starting point is 00:16:22 but it did not work. Here we go. Did you get prompted why did you refresh it? Yeah. What am I going to say? Triggering content is one of them. I just put curiosity. I just want to see new shit.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Because people will say, oh, my God, you know that song that's huge on TikTok? And I'm like, no. I'm just getting fucking clips from Devil Wears Prada. Oh, my God. I watched an entire movie. Same. On TikTok about this alien on the ISS. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:50 With Ryan Reynolds. What's that one on Netflix where some guy's like an emergency call taker? Oh, I know what you mean. Yeah, I watched that whole fucking movie on TikTok. Oh, yeah. I was this close to watching 911 Lone Star starring Rob Lowe because I keep getting clips and he's so endearing. I watched the whole 1982 any movie. You would.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Well, I'm very glad you've given us that hack because I needed that. No worries, everyone. I'm excited now. I might actually use TikTok more. All right. That was my age. I told you it was short and sharp. It was more of a PSA, if anything.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Yeah, not handy. I like it. That was a good one. Should we do yours? I'm ready. Let's go. Is it just me or can you not get toxic gossip train out of your head? Oh, by Colleen Fiddle Fiddle Ballinger.
Starting point is 00:17:36 That's what they're calling her. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one. That's the one. Yeah. So I'm pretty sure where we left off before we had our little mid-year break, the last podcast we did, we were talking about how Colin Ballard is being cancelled for her
Starting point is 00:17:49 inappropriate behaviour and interactions with underage fans. He's Miranda Sings, right? Yes. Yes, the YouTuber. One of the OG YouTubers. And where we left off was that she hadn't yet addressed it. My word, did she fucking address it in the most cooked way ever. Well, we were over at your house, Mitch, the day after it was released.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah. And we ordered Guzmini Gomez and we sat there on the couch and watched this whole thing. Oh, we got like five minutes in. Should we go for that? If that. It was a ten-minute video and it's her big apology video, but she whips out the ukulele and this is what we heard.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Hey. Hi. It's been a while since you saw we heard. Hey. Hi. It's been a while since you saw my face. Good. I haven't been doing so great, so I took a little break. You haven't. A lot of people are saying some things about me that aren't quite true. It doesn't matter if it's true, though,
Starting point is 00:18:38 just as long as it's entertaining to you. Right? No. Here we go. You guys having Right? No. Here we go. You guys having fun? No. All aboard the toxic gossip train. You're chugging down the tracks of misinformation.
Starting point is 00:18:55 The toxic gossip train. You got a one-way ticket to a manipulation station. Toxic gossip train Tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past Cause rumours look like facts if you don't mind The gaps I won't survive in the crash But hey, at least you're having fun Yeah, that is, I mean, I feel gaslit.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Yeah, I was watching it going, this cannot be real because she's totally blame shifting, not taking any accountability. I was just like, what the fuck is this? This is a complete, no pun intended, this is a train wreck. Yes, it is. But then as the days went on, I caught myself being like, I'm like no no no Don't get stuck in my head
Starting point is 00:19:46 Don't get stuck in my head It's fucking there I hate that she's created a little earworm That I cannot get out of my head What I was just thinking is that was playing I'm hooked Yeah right Like I like the
Starting point is 00:19:57 It's a very Sorry It's a teabag Oh is that the bit of paper that you swallow with your tea Go back and listen to that You can hear it It's coming back up. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I'm not joking. Do you need a sip of water? No, I'm okay. I'll have my tea. Sorry. Sorry. Back to Collie. But, you know, the point is that I'm like, okay, I'm clearly not on her side.
Starting point is 00:20:18 This is a serious situation. But, like, fuck, it's a bit catchy, isn't it? Yeah, she's done a good job with the lyrics, yeah. Apparently, some people have said one of the reasons that she might have done it in song form, this apology video, is it's easier to copyright. What, and monetize? Yeah. Well, yeah, monetize, that's one thing, but also copyright so that if people play it like
Starting point is 00:20:39 we just have, or if people are doing reaction videos on YouTube or whatever, she can copyright it and be like, nah, that's my fucking property or whatever. Whereas if she just did a piece to camera saying sorry, then they could use that willy nilly. The song went for 10 minutes. That was just one minute, right? This is the most icky part because there was allegations of grooming because these fans are underage and she's manipulating their minds and stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And this is how she chose to address that. The only thing I've ever groomed is my two Persian cats. I'm not a groomer. I'm just a loser who didn't understand I shouldn't respond to fans. And I'm not a predator, even though a lot of you think so. Yeah, with like a cheery little ukulele underneath. Sounds like you're taking the issue really seriously, sweetheart. And don't bring cats into this.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Imagine being before a judge, being charged for grooming, and you go, do you mind if I just pull out my ukulele? But you've got to admit, it's fucking catchy. I can't get it out of my head. She's done a good job with the jingle. I know. She's done a good job, yeah. I used to be quite the ukulelist, if that's a thing, back in the day. And so I've taken it upon myself to learn the song. Oh, my God. Can you believe?
Starting point is 00:21:45 That's how much it stuck in my head. Oh, my God. Do you have one? Do you have a ukulele? Oh, my God. You've got a Timothee Chal- It didn't work. A Timothee Chal-lele.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, nice. Show me. Show me that thing. It's cheap and shitty. It doesn't say anything. Did you buy it for the show? Well, I do have one back at the farm, but I was like, just for the sake of this, I'm
Starting point is 00:22:04 just going to buy one off Amazon. Maybe we should sell it on eBay afterwards. Hold on. Are you going to cover the toxic gossip train? Yeah. All right. Give us a rendition. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I'm taking my headphones off. I can't hear. I need to tune this. Okay, sure. Talk amongst yourselves. Mitch is grooming that ukulele. He really is grooming. I will update while Mitchell tunes.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I finished my tea and the tab is gone, so it's in my throat. It's in your throat. Yeah, you've digested it. Oh, he's ready. Go. Hey. It's been a while since you've seen my face. Had me doing a rest so great, so I took a little break.
Starting point is 00:22:42 A lot of people are saying some things about me that aren't quite true. Oh, my God. Doesn't matter if it's true, though. As long as it's entertaining to you. Oh, my God. Right? Wow. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I mean, say what. Mitchell, that was great. Say what you want about Colleen Ballinger, but switching from a G to G7 is fucking fiddly. I can imagine. Bitch has got skills. That was brilliant. Well done. What can imagine. Bitch has got skills. That was brilliant. Well done. What can I apologise for?
Starting point is 00:23:09 Is there anything you feel I need to apologise for? I'm forgetting my birthday. But I just feel like doesn't a ukulele detract from any sincerity of the apology? Like her one didn't mean fuck all because she was playing it on a ukulele. Of course. Imagine if Kevin Rudd did the fucking apology speech on a ukulele.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Not right. Not appropriate. Julia Gillard did the misogyny speech on a ukulele. I will not be lectured on sexism and misogyny by this man. Sexism, Misogyny. Every day in every way. It just doesn't work like that. It really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:23:52 No. How long did you spend rehearsing this and is Sean still in love with you? He has not witnessed me practising. But it did take a bit of practice, I'm not going to lie. I practiced this ukulele for this stupid song more than I ever practiced the violin. Yeah, I'm sure you did. And I was paying for lessons. All aboard. Go on.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I don't know how it goes. Oh, my God. Has it really not got stuck in your head the same way it has mine? No. I've only watched Troye Sivan. That's when I learned to jerk off in my bedroom. And then I've got YouTubers since. No, but I'm talking about this apology video that everyone's been watching.
Starting point is 00:24:29 All aboard the toxic gossip train. Oh, I fucked it. Chugging down the tracks of misinformation. The toxic gossip train. God, it's hard. You got a one-way ticket to the manipulation station. You know, she might come for us for copyright, playing her song and lyrics. Well, why don't we just do the song, but we tweak it?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Oh, as in like the same thing we did with, what was your mate, Ty Verdes? Oh, yeah. Because parodies are allowed. Yeah, parodies are allowed. As long as you're playing the song in a joke sense, she can't come for us for money. That's true. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:09 What if we did like, what did I do for Ty Verdes again? Didn't I just say it? I did the same lyrics but in Aussie Bogan, didn't I? Yeah, his song was A-OK. Oh, and I said fucking right instead of A-OK. Yes. I'll be fucking right. Right, so we're going to perform Colin Ballinger's apology song,
Starting point is 00:25:25 Toxic Gossip Train, but the Aussie Bogan version. Yeah. So what, are we going to change the lyrics as well? Toxic Gossip Train. Oh, my God. The fairy. The feral something. No.
Starting point is 00:25:39 The rusted fairy. What's gossip? What's the synonym for that? Bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The rusted bullshit ferry. It doesn't rock. The rusted bullshit bus.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah, okay. The rusted bullshit bus. I like that. Hold on. I've got to write this down. Okay, write it down. Of course. Rusted bullshit bus.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Charting down the tracks of misinformation. Fanging down. Yeah, yeah. Fanging around the block. Fanging around the block. Fanging around the block of. Misinformation. Misinformation. That's great. Yeah, yeah. Fanging round the block. Fanging round the block. Fanging round the block of. Misinformation. Misinformation.
Starting point is 00:26:07 That's great. Fucking porkies. Yes. Yes. Fanging round the block of fucking porkies. Oh, this is already so stupid, but let's go. The rusty. Bullshit bus.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Go back. The rusty bullshit bus. What's the next lyric? What is it? You've got a one-way ticket to manipulation station. You've got an Opal card, obviously. Yeah, yeah, no. You've got a tap Don Opal to.
Starting point is 00:26:31 A tap Don Opal to. Manipulation. What's manipulation? Dog act. Yeah, dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To Dog Act Station. Dog Act Station.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Tap Don Opal to Dog Act. It needs to kind of be Opal. Dog Act Depot. Yeah. Oh, brilliant. Because it's a bus. kind of be open. Dog act depo. Yeah. Oh, brilliant. Because it's a bus. It's a bus depo. To dog act depo.

Starting point is 00:30:06 I didn't fucking groom no one. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Got something on your mind? Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show. All right, songs aside, parodies aside, actually, parody. My fucking fingers are killing me after that. They're calloused. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 That's my good fingering hand. Oh, no. Poor Sean. I'll give him a rest. He can barely walk these days. He's limping everywhere. Let's do an Is It Just You? Your chance to have an Is It Just Me of your own.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Something you've noticed you hate or appreciate. You can DM us at coupleofmitches or you can text us, Mitch, where? Oh yeah, 0412 712 092 That's our number. Oh, you can send us a little text. Someone was texting us the other night when we were together, Mitch, and she was going back through our old episodes
Starting point is 00:31:00 She was like live tweeting us, but live texting us. Oh, what was she saying? She was like, oh, I've just listened to the old episodes. Loving it. Let me find them. They were very entertaining. We can probably do this later. Yeah, good call. She was lovely.
Starting point is 00:31:14 But if you want to get in touch, you can. Like Mitch has done. A third Mitch in Newcastle. Hello, Mitch. Oh, for God's sake, another one. How are we all? G'day. Yeah, we're good, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:31:22 How are you, mate? What? Yeah, really good. Really, really good. That shocked're good, Mitch. How are you, mate? Right. Yeah, really good. Really, really good. That shocked me too, Mitch. You're not talking like that. I was trying to speak his language. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:30 No, well, Mitch is clearly a listener of the show. He wants us to speak our native tongue, don't you, Mitch? He's a Newcastle bloke. Where did you find the show, Mitch? Just a few mentions. That's right. How did you find us? I think just on Spotify, eh?
Starting point is 00:31:44 Oh, no, through Instagram. Oh, gorgeous. It was actually through Trash Alley, sadly enough. Oh, there you go. Yep, yep, okay. Really, you listen to Trash Alley. Sorry, I hate to make assumptions, but you sound too straight for Trash Alley. No, actually, I'm quite gay.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Really? Love it. Quite gay. Quite. He's like extremely gay, both in theory and practice. Yeah, no, definitely am. With my boyfriend. Oh, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:32:08 That makes sense. Oh, wow. I can't relate. But that sounds lovely. Can I ask what you do for work? I actually work for myself. Oh, wow. That's fake.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah, trades. In the trade and retail. That's what I was going to guess. Yep. Could have picked it. That means you're technically my brother's rival in the Newcastle region. Can you use carpentry? Is that where everyone should be getting shit built?
Starting point is 00:32:28 Yeah, that was a while ago, though. Not so much since I've come out. Anyway. Really? Really? Interesting. What, did they not accept you? No, no, I just don't work hard.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Oh, I was expecting drama. Doesn't want to scrape his nails down. Of course. All right, Mitchie. Well, Bradley will count you in, then hit us with your idiom, okay? He's expecting drama. He doesn't want to scrape his nails down. Of course. All right, Mitchie. Well, Bradley, you'll count you in, then hit us with your idiom, okay? Is it just me or? Is the cost to live out of fucking control?
Starting point is 00:32:59 Oh, the cost of living. The cost of living. It's a crisis. Coming from someone who just admitted that they don't want to work. That might have something to do with it. I don't want to work hard, not smart. I still work a fucking lot. But I think the margin of money is a lot smaller for what I put in than what it was, say, 10 years ago, you know?
Starting point is 00:33:19 What sort of things have you noticed? Groceries is absolutely ridiculous. But, I mean, everyone gets that. Coffee. I drink a fuckload of coffee. Are all of them takeaway? Not anymore because I'm just sort of not buying them anymore. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I've had to try and limit the amount of takeaway coffees I get, especially now that I get almond milk. It's like, oh my God, this is nearly $7. And you know, I found a place on the way to work that does an almond flat white for $5 and it's a fucking, it is so good. And they've just put the price up to $5.70. Now I just refuse to, I just like, fuck, son. Oh, so that's how we know you're gay.
Starting point is 00:33:58 He orders an almond flat white. That's the red flag. But isn't it sad that you were so excited at the fact that it was five bucks and that's somehow a bargain these days? I know. Back in the day, they would have been like 350 or something. Petrol's fucked. My little car, I've got a small little hatchback.
Starting point is 00:34:14 And you'd be the same, Mitch. Our cars are basically the same. Yeah. How much is it to fill up yours? It's like 85 bucks? It really varies. Sometimes it's like 77. Sometimes it's 112.
Starting point is 00:34:23 I know. I just never know. That's so much money. I remember when it was $60. Jenna couldn't relate, of course, because she still has a horse and carriage. But the price of hay, I'm sure, has gone up for you, Jenna. It's so expensive nowadays. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I remember my uncle a few years ago saying, like, how much does petrol cost a litre now? Oh, $1.80? Yeah. I remember him once saying, oh, as soon as petrol is over $1.40 a litre, I swear I will sell my car. That's just ridiculous. I'm not paying that. And I'm like, well, look where we are now, bucko.
Starting point is 00:34:51 It's $2 in some places too, a litre. Yeah. So bad. Well, we love to donate $40,000 to you, Mitch, on behalf of the podcast. We're going to give back to our, you know, one of our own. Well, I'll give you guys the same. And we can all write it off. Oh, that's true.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Oh, nice. I like that. Fuck is good. We are a charity case after all. We definitely are, yeah. Aren't we all? Is the rental crisis a bit fucked in Newcastle too? Are they putting up all the rent prices?
Starting point is 00:35:18 So, yeah, to put it in perspective as well, I actually forgot about this to an hour. Yeah. Last year, the start of last year, so I was 23. Oh, um oh no sorry it was the year before because it was covid right on the back end of covid um i had five commercial leases in my name five shops yeah um and i had to get out of the place i was living in and um everyone was on job keeper and stuff and i had 20 employees um i was trying to get a rental and I couldn't get a rental. Shit.
Starting point is 00:35:46 So because, and I was offering six months up in advance for the rent. And I had, it was because I was 23, I owned a business, so I was classified as a risk and because I wasn't getting the job keeper and stuff and I had a dog. Oh, you never tell them about the dog, Mitch, by the way. Yeah, I know. And I had casual employees doing one day a week working for me and they were getting rentals over me and I was like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:36:12 So I lived in my car for three months. Oh, my God. Shit, Mitch. But I had a really nice van and it was more of a stubborn, like a fuck you society than anything. And, I mean, it was the best thing ever. Are there rules about being allowed to live in one of your commercial spaces? Just fucking pitch a tent in the shop.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was cooking in there and stuff. So that bit was good. But, I mean, now I've just moved down the coast like an hour and a half just because it's cheaper. Yeah, with my partner. Which is sick.
Starting point is 00:36:42 But, you know, everything's just fucked up in Newcastle. Shit. And you said you've just come out or you've come out recently? I've been with my partner since last March, in March. And, yeah, sort of first guy I went on a date with, fell in love. Wow. And, yeah, and then the rest is sort of history.
Starting point is 00:37:00 And then sort of, yeah, it was like, fuck, come out. And, yeah, which was really cool. And I think i think to be honest it's probably going to sound a bit cringy now to to use but i think you guys really helped me to be honest because i don't have any gay friends at all um that's newcastle for you yeah yeah and um like i live in a pretty straight world yeah and uh yeah like two older brothers you know everyone's trades and all that stuff. So yeah, I mean, having you guys, like listening to you guys, it sort of gave me a bit of, I don't know. It's just, it was really cool.
Starting point is 00:37:32 It was like I had friends. You know what I mean? That's very special. Do you know what I mean? We know what you mean. I've just talked to an answer. You have friends. You're very good looking.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Like, you know, you've got friends. I know what you mean though. I mean, I came out and just be careful when that relationship hits the five-year mark. Yeah, I don't want to rabbit on about that, but I came out for my first relationship. Bart, I don't want to ruin yours. That sounds absolutely beautiful. Yeah, don't be manifesting that. No, it's a sense of community, or it's nice to know that there are other people out there that are going through the same things, and it just makes you feel seen and heard.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Even if it's on one thing that you can connect with that we're talking about. It makes you feel like there's others out there that are going through the same stuff. Yeah, well, I think I did really resonate with everything you were saying back in the previous episodes about when you come out and all that stuff, because it was very similar. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:38:19 It was really cool, and I think it really helped. So, yeah, that's pretty much that. Now I'm just... Anal every night. Well, that's the legacy of the show and that's what we we try to bring that's very sweet of you to say mitch thank you no it's great you guys have a great reach so you should be you should be very very very proud of yourself that's so nice oh thank you what is it about mitchell's and just being real stand we're just fucking legends i've never met a Mitch I didn't like, and that is true.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I've only met like one or two straight people called Mitchell. They're all gay. Yeah, that's so true. Case in point. Yeah, I wonder what it is about them. If they're not gay, they're just not gay yet, if they're named Mitchell. We'll have them listen to our episode for long enough.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Case in point. We'll turn them. Mitchie, look after yourself, okay? We'll send you out a prize. Jenna will send you something. You too, guys. Take it easy. Thank you, buddy. What a nice them. Mitchie, look after yourself, okay? We'll send you out a prize. Jenna will send you something. You too, guys. Take it easy. Thank you, buddy.
Starting point is 00:39:08 What a nice guy, isn't he nice? Yeah, God bless. I loved that. I can't believe I thought it was straight. Whoops. Now I can see how you got to that. Yeah, I can. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:39:16 By the way, did he say have a great week? Because I said, ditto, you too. But then I realised, wait, maybe he said you guys have great reach. That's what I thought he said, talking about being podcasters and connecting with people. Oh, no, he said reach. You guys have good reach. And then me, the fuckhead, just went, ditto, you too. I thought he said wheat too.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Wheat? You guys have great wheat? No, weak. No. Yeah, you too. While he's complaining about not being able to live paycheck to paycheck. Yeah, you too, comma. We're all fucked.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I realised my error as soon as I said it. Ditto.

Starting point is 00:41:20 Yeah, I reckon I could do it. I'd be up for the challenge, but I reckon just trying to convince you, you would not agree to whatever. I need my eight hours. I need to up for the challenge, but I reckon just trying to convince you, you would not agree to whatever. I need my eight hours. I need to do my Apple Watch sleep tracking. It would not work. Wait, did they sleep for it? Oh, they did like challenges and stuff to earn like an hour's sleep or whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:34 I'm not doing that. We'll work our way up to that. Yeah, Talk Back Tings Live is more than enough for us. That's our baby steps. Saturday, August 12, 5 p.m. Put it in your calendar, you idiot. So exciting. Now, speaking of our Facebook group, we got a post in Enduring Idiots recently from Amber
Starting point is 00:41:52 and she wants to know, Mitchell, your stance on something because she's been listening back to the archives, things we've said in the early episodes, and she's noticed that you've contradicted yourself, right? Well, that's not hard for me to do. I do it every day. And she wants you to set the record straight. How do you feel now? So back in episode 44.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Fuck, that was years ago. I know, right? So this is what you said as your Is It Just Me that week. Okay. Is it just me or... A barbecue chicken's shit. Yes. I've never gotten the fuss with that.
Starting point is 00:42:26 There's nothing enjoyable about a dry, bloody, hormone-ridden barbecue chook. They're so dry. So dry. And I never understand why that's people's go-to. Like, mum will be like, oh, let's just, you know, feeling lazy, let's just get a barbecue chook and some bread rolls. And I'm like, bleh. Well, I'll just go to Officeworks and get a sheet of cardboard
Starting point is 00:42:44 and just chuck it on some mayo on a white roll. It tastes better. I fucking hate it. Right. Yeah. Right. So you had a very fucking firm opinion about barbecue chickens from the supermarket, right?
Starting point is 00:42:54 I clearly had a Barocca that morning as well. Yeah. And then in episode 107, which is like- Shit. There's a gap between those episodes. That's 63 episodes later, to be precise. Yeah. That was one a gap between those episodes. That's 63 episodes later, to be precise. That was one of our pig week episodes.
Starting point is 00:43:10 We all brought a plate and this is what happened. This is what you rocked up with. What did you bring, Cherry? What's your contribution? I brought a barbecue chuck. Oh, my God. Don't slap a whole supermarket chicken on the table. There's stuffing on your iPad.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Just get that off. I went to Coles and I thought, I'm going to get a bachelor's handbag. Oh, God. Is there anything to eat it with or is it just the chook? God gave you two hands for a reason. Do you have napkins? No, none. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Yeah. So all of a sudden you're in favour of the barbecue chicken. So Amber writes in the group, I need to know once and for all, what is Cherry's stance on the barbecue chook? Yeah, I'd like to know too. I've just done some digging on Amber and I found some racist tweets from 2003. So I want to ask if she's changed. I just changed my opinion. In episode 44, I would have been young, maybe just fresh out of home.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I was probably a snob. I was probably just fresh out of home cooking my meals and I would have thought I'm beyond a barbecue chicken. Now I'm an adult that has lived out of home for a long time and have realised that sometimes a barbecue chicken is dinner. And I am for a barbecue chook, yes. But also, what I picked up from that is that in the early days we hated the barbecue chicken when it's on a bread roll or like with a bloody coleslaw or something.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Whereas when you just showed up for pig wig with a whole barbecue chicken, a nude chook, nothing else to go with it. I'm like, I think I agree with you. I can fuck with a barbecue chook on its own, but I hate it on a bread roll. That's actually a good point. So there's something about picking at a barbecue chicken, getting the crispy little giblets.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, the stuffing, amazing. But the dry white breast meat on a white roll, nothing worse. Especially when you're out in the sun having a fucking picnic and someone- I agree. I agree. And so we were thinking, God, this must happen a lot because we've had 151 episodes of this
Starting point is 00:44:53 podcast, nearly four years running. There's got to be stuff that we've said in the early days that we don't stand by anymore. Well, hold on. How many shows have there been? Well, this is 151. Can you do the math, Jenna? 151. There's two idjams on each show. Yep. So do the math, Jenna. How many idjams have there been? Well, this is 151. Can you do the math, Jenna? 151. There's two IJMs on each show.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Yep. So do the math, Jenna. How many IJMs have there been? 151 times two. Yeah. Wow. I really could have done that in my head. 302.
Starting point is 00:45:14 302 plus guests. There'd be like 315, 320 IJMs that we've done over the years. Exactly. And so we're digging through the archives to see where we're at with former opinions. And you've come up with a gorgeous name for this segment. I have come up with a great name. Are you ready for it, Jenna? Yeah, ready.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Okay. Oh, I can get an actual drum roll. Oh, all right. Sorry. Wrong one. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I don't know why that was. Ready. Is it just me caps? Yep. We're recapping. How is it just me? Do you like it're recapping how is it just me. It hit me while I was walking. I called Mitch. He's like, I'm at Pilates.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I'm like, is it just me caps? You know what it could have been? Is it just me visit? Oh, yeah. As in like a revisit. But me caps work. Is it just me wind? Rewind?
Starting point is 00:46:00 I think I like that. No, I don't because it's just me wind. Is it just me wind? I like that. That sounds I don't because it's just me wind. Me wind. It's just me wind. I like that. That sounds like you're baby talking something. Yeah. It's just me wind. Me, me, me, me, me, me wind.
Starting point is 00:46:12 So we're sticking with me caps? I like me caps. All right, so we've got a whole bunch of our older gems that we're going to see if we still stand by. And so let's go back to episode four. This is one of mine. Wow. Is introducing your date to your mates the most daunting thing ever? No, I couldn't agree more. I've only gone
Starting point is 00:46:28 through this recently, as you know, I'm seeing someone at the moment, and he says to me, I'd really like to meet your friends. And I thought, oh, shit. Because the last time this happened, that I introduced this guy I was seeing to my friends, and I never saw him again. Hold on, I didn't get to meet this guy.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Did I meet this guy? No, I only introduced him to two of my friends. Okay. We're just too bizarre for some people to process. But anyway, I agreed for this to happen. We rock up to the house. I've got some friends waiting. I was like, you'd be on your best fricking behaviour. To the friends?
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yes. Yep. I was like, if you repulse another man, I'm going to have to make some rearrangements when it comes to my friend circle. Oh. Nah, I don't stand by that anymore. Oh, really? No.
Starting point is 00:47:07 As if you should be embarrassed about your friends. That's so true. To the person that you're trying to fuck or whatever. I reckon at the time I was that desperate that even if the guy might not have been a good fit, I was just like, oh, I just need to make this work. Someone's interested in me. It's a miracle. Even if he hates my friends, which these days, if they hated my friends, I'd be like, fuck off. You're done. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Wow. I wasn't nervous to introduce Sean to my friends. I was like, you get what you get. You don't get upset. Yeah, totally. That shows that you've matured in these years since the show. I wonder if I'd be anxious introducing a new partner to friends. Well, it depends because I used to be nervous. And like I said, it's because I didn't want to repulse the person I was dating. And I'm like, the fact that I thought my friends were repulsive and might repulse someone, that's a red flag. Whereas now I'm like, my friends are fan-fucking-tastic.
Starting point is 00:47:57 If you don't like them, there's something wrong with you, dickhead. You need to fuck off. Yeah. I think I'd be a little anxious, but for my issues, not because of my friends. It's not because of my friends. Also, it was like fine when I introduced Sean. He fit in seamlessly so that was, thank God. He did. He really did.
Starting point is 00:48:11 We love Sean. Now, next one. This is another one from you. Let's see what the update is here. This is back in episode 30. Is it inappropriate to ask someone to be a sperm donor in the middle of a global pandemic? What?
Starting point is 00:48:27 Jenna, don't you laugh. You might need some of my spunk one day because a lovely gay couple that I know asked me if I'd be their sperm donor. Oh my God, I forget this happened. And how is little Madison? How's she doing? Did she get over that colic? I didn't have a child.
Starting point is 00:48:47 They unfriended me on Facebook because I said no. Did they? I said no to them. Wow. Also, the context on that is, and I'll do the full truth, they weren't my fucking friends. I met this girl at a kiss event and she was a kiss fan. That's right.
Starting point is 00:48:59 They were sort of listeners slash fans of you. Yes, yes. So it was a bit of a weird ask. Very bizarre. And I said no. So she unfriended me on Facebook and I haven't spoken to her since. My stance is I would donate sperm. I think it was the same at the time to someone that I love and someone that I know.
Starting point is 00:49:14 And Jenna, the offer still stands. Thank you. If you need his spunk. If you need my spunk, you bring in your own Tupperware, BYO. This isn't a fucking bank. Give him five. Yeah, these days, give me two. Not much going on.
Starting point is 00:49:27 And then I will give you plenty. Thank you so much. That doesn't change. No, it doesn't change at all. Right. Now let's see another one of mine. This is from episode 45. Do sad movies never make you cry? Usually.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Oh, it depends on the movie, but I sort of lean towards the crier. Yes. Well, no matter how sad the movie, but I sort of lean towards the crier. Yes. Well, no matter how sad the movie, even the saddest movies I've seen in my life, ones that spring to mind, obviously, you know, Titanic. Right, yeah. Red Dog, Fault in Our Stars. Oh, all very sad. It was all, yeah, it was very sad.
Starting point is 00:49:57 I just kind of like carried it around internally, didn't actually shed a single tear. Oh, okay. I've become a bit of a crier these days. I was going to say, was that because you were on your antidepressants then? Wasn't that suppressing? Actually, maybe. You're right.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Because it kind of numbs your... Yes, it does actually. That's a good point. I hadn't considered that. That would explain why I've become more of a crier these days. Yeah. Because I cried during fucking Titanic, funnily enough, recently. Oh, that checks out.
Starting point is 00:50:24 God, yeah. Especially given all the sub of it all, the recent sub drama. Nonily enough, recently. Oh, that checks out. God, yeah. Especially given all the sub of it all, the recent sub drama. No, it was before that. Oh, gosh. There was a few friends of mine that had never seen it, so we had a Titanic movie night. I wanted to see their reaction to watching Titanic for the first time. And you cried.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Yeah, I've seen this movie hundreds of times possibly, never cried. And this time I just, like, had a cheeky, dignified tear on the couch. My friends didn't notice I was crying, thank God. I don't know why I was crying this time. That's gross. I don't know if it was because like maybe the relationship storyline hits different now that I'm in a relationship. Oh, that's so bad. Or maybe it's just because I was a bit tired and tipsy.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I'm very prone to tired and tipsy tears, I've got to say. It's quite embarrassing. If I'm just that little bit tired, little bit tipsy, anything could set me off. So you have changed. You're a cry now cry now yeah do you know what happened recently an example of the tired tipsy tears yeah which is so embarrassing because like once I start it's very hard to stop one little thing will set me off and then it's like all this suppressed crying just comes out and I'm like I'm not even crying about what set me off anymore but like oh yeah when I when I went with my friends back to Vogengate, I took a bunch of people back to my childhood home.
Starting point is 00:51:28 And do you remember how I adopted those two dogs for my parents? Yes. And they were mother and daughter dogs. And then unfortunately the daughter dog got bitten by a snake and then so now only the mummy dog is alive. And I was giving the mummy dog a pat and I was like, hi, Millie, bearing in mind I was tired and tipsy. And I was like, hi, sweetie, how are you?
Starting point is 00:51:47 Oh, you miss your little baby, don't you? And then I just looked into her eyes and I burst into tears. Oh, Mitchell. And we're around the bonfire having a gorgeous time. My friends are like, what the fuck? Why is Mitchell bawling his eyes out? What happened? And I'm kind of there like, yeah, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:52:02 just once I start crying I can't stop. It's the fire. It's the fire. It's the fire. It's the smoke. It almost feels good, though. Like when you start crying, I'm like, yeah, I'll let it happen. Oh, I agree completely. I've cried more this year than I have in my entire fucking life.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It feels good to get a good cry out. A fat fucking sob. How good? I've never cried into a pillow before and I recently have and it's fantastic. Oh, next time I'm tired and tipsy, hopefully something sets me off. That sounds delightful. Grab a pillow. Crying into a pillow.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Oh, yeah, and sob. Oh, it's been a while, but, you know, I'm more of a crier these days. Okay, good. Good update. Yeah, so that has changed. Yes, definitely. This is something you said back in episode 19. Do you never clean your legs?
Starting point is 00:52:43 Oh, that's a good point, actually. I was in the shower this morning and I was cleaning my whole body and I thought, done. And then I looked down and I thought, hold on a second. I haven't even touched my legs and I never do. I just hope to God the soap trickles down there. That's what I think. I kind of hope. Sometimes I put the heel of my foot in the drain hole so then it sort of fills up past my ankle
Starting point is 00:53:01 and I sort of just wade in the water like it's a jungle and it sort of splashes up against my thighs and sort of like a baby in a little baby pool. You know what I mean? A big old baby. Jesus Christ. That description didn't make sense at the time and it doesn't make sense to me now. I'm still struggling to picture that baby boy.
Starting point is 00:53:19 But the point is, do you neglect to wash your legs still? Isn't that funny that you bring this up? Because I washed my legs today in the shower, and I actually made the mental note of it. You made a point of it? Yeah, I made a point of washing my legs because I've got a loo for now, and I seriously this morning washed my legs. I had no idea you were going to play that.
Starting point is 00:53:35 I wash my legs more than I did, but it's not a daily. I do it on the days that I exfoliate my face. It's a Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I love a good leg exfoliate because then they feel gorgeous afterwards. When I was at the markets in Darwin, I got these gorgeous exfoliating rocks. Yes. And you just rub them on you and it's so good. They're made out of Timothy Shell clay.
Starting point is 00:53:59 These clay rocks that exfoliate your legs and stuff. Oh, I love it. I'm a big leg washer these days, so I've definitely changed my opinion on that. Add that to the list of things better than drugs and dick. A good exfoliated leg. Yes, and exfoliated inner thigh specifically. Oh, my God. So good.
Starting point is 00:54:14 That's where it gets nice and smooth. I have changed. Yep. So I've changed since that episode, everybody. Beautiful. All right. Well, anyone else who wants to let us know something that you want to follow up on? Because I know that some people listen back to old episodes occasionally
Starting point is 00:54:25 and you might think, whatever happened to that? Yeah. Whatever happened? Let us know and we'll, is it just me cap it? Yeah. I was going to say, is it just me wind? Because that makes sense to me. No, I like me cap because it's a recap.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Also, if there was a really opinionated take that one of us had, bring that to us to see if we still stand by that opinion. This is one more from me, by the way. This is something I said in literally our very first episode oh my god okay can i tell you i've gotten so obsessive with my like weight and like my goals at the gym at the moment that i was like you know what i need i need a tape measure with me on all time just to make sure my waist is the right you have with you. Can you throw it over here? Yeah. Honestly. Here we go. It's so small. It's like a little pocket watch.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God, Mitchell. Redacted. I don't stand by that. You get cancelled these days. That is not good. What the fuck was wrong with me for not only carrying around a tape measure to measure
Starting point is 00:55:19 my waist, but also then broadcasting that and inadvertently encouraging that? That's fucked. Seriously. That's terrible. I can and inadvertently encouraging that. That's fucked. Seriously. That's terrible. I can't believe I said that. Let's get a meet-up of Jenna from show two going, is it just me or does anyone else throw up after every meal? What were we doing in the early days?
Starting point is 00:55:36 We were fucked. Even the fact that I used to talk about dieting and all that shit, I don't like to go there anymore because you know how Chrissy Swans obviously lost a lot of weight. She looks great. I remember her like to go there anymore because you know how Chrissy Swans obviously lost a lot of weight. She looks great. I remember her saying recently that she just doesn't, because people will ask her in interviews like, oh, how did you lose weight? Whatever. And she just said, nah, I don't
Starting point is 00:55:54 want to talk about it because over the years when I heard other people talk about losing weight, it made me feel like shit. So I don't want to contribute to that. And I was like, yeah, good, cool. I like that. Even before when you were mentioning that I've lost weight now, I was like, yeah, good, cool. I like that. Even before when you were mentioning that I've lost weight now, I was like, oh, I don't want to make it a thing basically. I agree.
Starting point is 00:56:09 It should be celebrated in the way that we used to celebrate it. I mean like society. Like you'll never fucking catch me posting a before and after photo like I would have in 2016. No way. Look how much weight I've lost. No, but I think what is okay because you and I both are on a bit of a health kick at the moment, like a health and fitness journey.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I think, and my angle is that I feel so much better mentally. Yeah. It's helped me through this fuck time. I feel better. I don't feel as sluggish. That is, I think, okay to talk about. Oh, totally. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:56:36 But I mean, measuring your fucking inches lost. It's so embarrassing that that is out there. Is it wrong to go and edit that episode? Just cut that out. I can't wait for this to be in. Actually, no, I can't edit it out because that launched a whole arc that we did, remember? Because that tape measure was 39 cents or something,
Starting point is 00:56:51 and then we were trying to find something even cheaper online. Oh, my God. You got like a diffuser for the car. For like 11 cents or something. Yeah. Yeah. Someone messaged us this week because you were across Timu. I've heard about it.
Starting point is 00:57:06 It's a new app or it's a new website that's like everything's ridiculously cheap. And someone said, remember when the boys had that cheapest present challenge? Yeah, that's what it was. The stupid tape measure that I used to measure my waist was what started all that. They said the boys should do it on Timu. So maybe we look into that in the next couple of weeks. It's on the Adjourned Idiots Facebook page. We should do that again.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Just no toxic diet culture attached to it. Toxic diet culture. Hang on, where's my uke? Here we go. I bet it's gone out of tune. Ready? Oh, no. It's held.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Toxic diet culture. Jenna froze up after every meal. Not anymore. Not since 2012. At least she's having fun. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. All right, as you know, I have moved home with my parents, mum and dad.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Michelle and Mark, bless them, I'm in the Casa my parents, mum and dad, Michelle and Mark. Bless them. I'm in the Casa de Churi. Casa de Churi. Yes. Mitch has appeared and come to visit me in Cronulla. I did pop in. And you know how you just mentioned that we're on a bit of a health kick at the moment?
Starting point is 00:58:17 Yes. Oh, my God. I don't know how you survive the commute from work to your place because there was about 12 fucking McDonald's during that drive. Yes. Oh, wow. I've never seen that many McDonald's in quick succession. And they're the ones that are so easy to get into. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:32 You know how there's like ones you've got to stop at a set of lights, turn left, go into the drive-thru, come back, go through lights. These ones are like, I'm so sorry. I know. It's the tea. Hold on. Do you need a lozenge? I'm all right.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I'm all right. It's the tea bag. These are the ones that you can just drive in smooth, drive through smooth, out. There's no stopping. They're such easy Maccas. And I can just imagine there'd be nights where I'd be driving home and I'd go, oh, fuck, should I pull in and get a strawberry sundae? And then I go, no, no, I won't.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I won't. And then I see the second Maccas and I go, I'll bugger it. I bloody will. I'll get one. It's a sign. No, I have, yeah, now you're on a bit of a health and wellness journey. I've got a personal trainer, blah, blah, blah. It's boring.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Do you, Jess? I do. I do. He's very nice. He thinks I'm straight, though. He's like, oh, yes, you've just been through a breakup. I'm like, yes. Did you leave her or did she leave you?
Starting point is 00:59:18 I was like, why don't we focus on the kettlebells, please? Anyway, so you're back at home. You're two weeks living with mum and dad again. How are you liking it? Are they doing your head in yet? No, they're not doing my head in. They never could. Like, I adore my parents.
Starting point is 00:59:30 And they're so, my mum and dad are so good at this time in anyone's life. They're so good at being classic parents. Like, if there was a sitcom about an Aussie family, it would be my family, my mum and dad. Yeah, packed to the cherries. Truly. It's totally feasible. Truly. I did. I packed and packed to the cheeries truly totally feasible truly i did i
Starting point is 00:59:45 packed and went to the church um all my furniture's in the garage and like my mum can barely fit a station wagon in because it's got all my furniture and my boxes in it but i'm loving just slotting back into my parents life because like i've been gone for four years and now they have all these routines that i wasn't a part of like what So mum watches every whatever fucking night it's on, watches Home and Away. Oh, that is every night. Is it every night? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:10 She watches Home and Away but she doesn't know how to watch like catch up TV. So it starts at say 7.30. Yeah. So she'll be cooking dinner. She'll run to the Foxtel box. She'll pause it and then continue to cook dinner, eat dinner, clean up. Oh my God. Then after a meal, I'll go, all right, I'm probably going to go downstairs to bed.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Mum goes, come watch Home and Away. You can also record on Foxtel. Oh, I know. I said all these things to her. We sit on the couch, she plays it, and then we watch it with the ads. With the ads? Was she not a Home and Away girl when you lived there? Never.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Hated Home and Away. Oh, really? Wow. She must be really fucking bored Being an almost empty nester I know she is when I went back My mum's also very much into home and away now And mum knows them all She goes, well this is Chris Hemsworth's cousin, Bill Hemsworth
Starting point is 01:00:56 And you can hear his voice, he sounds like Chris Oh, they're about to introduce the newest Beach Boy Terrible actor And she just sits there and ridicules these home and away actors. And then she goes down the, you should be on a show like this. I go, mum, I can't have this discussion every night. I'm not going to be on home and away. Does she baby a lot or did you still have a bit of independence?
Starting point is 01:01:15 No, she does. The first week was like, yeah, she does my washing. Okay. Still. Yeah, I wouldn't sneeze at that opportunity. I do enjoy washing, but if someone else wants to do it, fucking go for gold. Oh, absolutely. Knock yourself out.
Starting point is 01:01:26 That's what I say. I go, mum, I'll happily do it. I wear the same black shirt and shorts every day and a pair of black socks. But she happily does it and then hangs it out. But like I'm contributing. I'm paying for a house clean every two weeks. Paying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Like I pay for a cleaner to come. Really? Yeah. You can't just pull your weight and fucking pick up a chucks? I'm not cleaning that house. It's a two-storey shire home. Yeah, I will say, when you say that you've moved back home, people might picture like, oh, you're all living in the same house,
Starting point is 01:01:56 sharing the same lounge room, but you've got your own private quarters. The ground floor, if you go downstairs, you've got your own lounge room, your own bathroom, your own fucking bedroom. And I'm like, I don't know why you're worried about hooking up or fucking at your parents' house. There's no way they'll hear it. It's so excluded from the rest of the house, your quarters. It is.
Starting point is 01:02:13 I wasn't worried about that. You were last time. I was. I'm not worried about it anymore. And I've tried and it hasn't worked. Shire grinder is horrific. You've tried. It's like Uber Eats in fucking Bourke.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Like there is nothing there. I'm like, let me download this and see what's going on. Oh, really? Horrific. That can't be true. There'd be other gays in the Shire show. They're all discreet. None of them want to show their face.
Starting point is 01:02:40 What, they're all like married straight men and stuff? DL. Dad looking for son. Eye emoji. Oh, so you haven't had the opportunity to pork in your parents' house yet? No, I haven't. I haven't. And also, I don't feel like I'm there yet.
Starting point is 01:02:53 I don't want to. Okay. I'm too sad. I don't want to. But yeah, I haven't had the opportunity yet in my bedroom, but it is odd being in my childhood bedroom. My little sister's next door. She'll come in and knock on my door and go, do you mind turning your TV down?
Starting point is 01:03:05 Oh, she's back at home. She never left. Oh, right. Okay. Little Rachel, 23. She'd be spewing that she has to now share her quarters with her brother. She's been having it to herself all this time. She had to empty her skincare cabinet out so I could have my side of the skincare cabinet.
Starting point is 01:03:21 There's a skincare cabinet. Yeah, well, for my retinols and whatnot. You know, now I'm single. Got to look my best. So I've pissed off Rachel. Then there's Dad, who is so sweet. He'll come down every night and he'll bring me because Dad loves self-help and he listens to
Starting point is 01:03:33 podcasts. Oh fuck, here we go. What does he bring you? Nah, don't tell me. Don't even tell me. He brings like a business card with a quote on it. He sends those to me on Instagram every day. It's a quote. I knew it. Inspirational messages. No, he's got me books, self-help books, and he'll send me podcasts.
Starting point is 01:03:51 He'll go, mate, listen to this, and this is how you help, and this is how you learn your attachment styles. I've got six books from Dad in two weeks. I don't even know what attachment styles means, to be fair. You've mentioned it a few times. What do I need to know? Oh, it's so interesting. Avoidant, anxious, or- What do they all mean? I'm still reading the book. I'm not quite sure. mentioned it a few times what do i need to know it's so interesting avoidant anxious or what do
Starting point is 01:04:05 they all mean i'm still reading the book i'm not quite sure the book i'm reading by the way is attached what oh is that what it's called it's called for anyone this isn't an email darling no see below the book is attached it's called and then i have to write back politely sorry you haven't actually attached anything i think you forgot to attach it. Shut up. But anyway, it's very important to learning about how you act and who you are in a relationship. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:33 I'm on the self-help train, thanks to dad. Mum discovered what PrEP was and had the most awkward conversation with me you've ever heard. Like the anti-HIV AIDS drug. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what PrEP is. Yeah. Never taken it in my life, but I'm across it. Well, nor have I.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Now I'm single. Mum was like, oh, we're having a cup of tea. TV was on. And I think Ricky Martin came on. She went, Ricky Martin? He's good looking. He is. He.
Starting point is 01:04:55 There's this drug that I've heard about. I'm like, wow, terrible segue. You know, there's this wonder. It's a wonder drug. It's a wonder drug that I've heard about for the L and the G, the B, for the whole community, all the gang. She's like, yes, I've heard that all the – Queers.
Starting point is 01:05:13 She was like, the queers, queers, the Fahrenheit, it's Celsius. It's a one-daily drug and you can take it if you partake in, you know, not normal – no, it's not normal because what you do is normal. It's anal sex. I'm like, yep, mum, you know, not normal. No, it's not normal because what you do is normal. It's anal sex. I'm like, yep, mum, you're beating around the bush. And she's like, well, you don't normally have bush, do you? You guys like to.
Starting point is 01:05:32 So does she want you on PrEP? She was just offering that she was worried about AIDS. And you're like, thank fuck for you, Michelle. I've been looking for this information everywhere. How else would I have learnt about PrEP if not for you? She was talking to me as if I was Freddie Mercury. Like, I'm like, mum, no. Maybe She was talking to me as if I was Freddie Mercury. I'm like, Mum, no.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Maybe she wants you to get back out there. Potentially. Potentially. She's like, get on PrEP, mate. Have fun. She's been a sad sap. I haven't made that decision yet. But the way she's like, I'll send you a link.
Starting point is 01:05:58 She texted me a link from Mayo Clinic. It was just PrEP, Mayo Clinic. I'm like, thanks, Mum. I feel like if you went on PrEP, because you don't like being ripped off you would feel compelled to fuck more you're like i'm on this drug and i'm not even having unsafe sex i know i'm protecting myself from nothing i've got to get banged from my back so to speak it's also not like it's it is good for you it's amazing but it's heavy on your system you've got to get regular blood tests every three months in order to get the next dose so yeah you're exactly right i'd be like like, I want to fucking, I want to fuck.
Starting point is 01:06:27 To make all this admin worthwhile. Yes. But long story short, I'm enjoying living home with my parents. You know what it's good for? And if you've gone through a breakup and you have this option or you can live with other people, go and do it. Because coming home to an empty house and the triggers and the reminders of what is gone hits you.
Starting point is 01:06:45 But to come home to a home with other people, people that love you, and even for someone to go, do you want a cup of tea? Come watch Home and Away. Or come learn about this life-saving gay medication that you've known about for a while. It just takes your brain out of the doom and gloom. And it's the best thing that I've done. Yeah, okay. Definitely.
Starting point is 01:07:02 The best thing. It's working well. It's okay. Also, I need to remind myself that this next couple of months is for that, for healing, for the cups of tea. I plan to be out by October, November, December. October, November, or December. When do I have to nag?
Starting point is 01:07:16 End of year. End of year. I reckon if I haven't sent you domain property listings come November, then put a rocket up me. Okay. I'm happy to. I don't want to be there longer. Happy to. I don't want to be there longer. Happy to.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I don't want to be there longer. Yep. But I'm doing beach walks every day. Well done. Oh, my God. I know all the Cavoodles on the Cronulla Esplanade. I know all the cafes. It's great.
Starting point is 01:07:33 I'm happy. You know, the weird situation that I'm in is you're at that point in a breakup where it's been like, what, 12 weeks now? It's been three months. Has it? Yeah. But it's that awkward point in a breakup where I still i still have very low days and and i feel so sad and awful and that your friends kind of i'm not pinning this on youtube but people sort of stop asking and then they stop they assume you'll
Starting point is 01:07:54 be better so that i feel guilty i'm like fuck i should be so much better by this point but then you go it's only been 12 weeks but then you go wait it's been 12 weeks you should be so much better oh it's such a head fuck. I hate it. There's no should. Don't throw around the word should. No should. I know, but you just think. You see TikTok and it's like, here's how I healed from my ex after two months.
Starting point is 01:08:13 And you're like, reset, bitch. Seriously. Set off my FYP, please. Yes. So if you're going through a breakup and you're at that awkward point where you're still struggling, I'm thinking of you. I'm with you. It'll take time.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Sad, isn't it? Also, when you're with like a public couple, people are discovering it. I'm still getting messages like, I've just heard the news. Oh, really? That's shocking. Imagine Maddie McCann's parents getting messages now. I've just heard the news. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:08:40 That'd be shocking. Yes. Not saying that my breakup of five years is anything like what went down at Prior Deluge. However, just an example. Yes. Well, I'm good. I'm glad you're enjoying being back at home with Mummy and Daddy. That's gorgeous. Yeah, me too. You've got a long commute ahead of you. We better get out of here. Let's go. I just wanted to ask, you just glistened in the light.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Are you wearing Timothee Chalamet makeup today? Nah, I'm not wearing makeup. That glisten is just this gorgeous Hydrating Timothy Schell spray Oh, is it? That I use, it's like a mist Yeah, of course, of course
Starting point is 01:09:11 Yeah, that's right Alright, on that note, let's go Thank you for listening What? What just landed on the roof? What? Was that Santa and his Timothy Schell sleigh? Oh, it might be
Starting point is 01:09:22 Oh, yes It might be, it could be Leave us five stars if you could, please A whole bunch of new fresh reviews came through While we were on break Santa and his Timothy Schell sleigh. Oh, it might be. Oh, yes. It might be. It could be. Leave us five stars if you could, please. A whole bunch of new fresh reviews came through while we were on break. All lovely and glowing. Yeah, gorgeous. Very nice.
Starting point is 01:09:33 We'll see you in a week. Thank you for listening, everyone. Hey, jump on the scales. I want to see how much you Timothy Schell weigh. That's enough. We killed that out with your tape measure. We don't do that. All right.
Starting point is 01:09:42 See you, everyone. Have a great Timothy Schell day. See you, everyone. Have a great Timothy Shalliday. See you. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done and then we keep talking shit.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Yeah, we continue. We power on. Yeah, sure. We don't starve. Yeah. Yeah. Don't starve. It's all work.
Starting point is 01:10:15 No Timothy Shell play. None. None at all. None. Yeah. Zilch. There's not much that you can do with that name because you need the Shell in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Well, you know what they say. Timothy Shell say. No. Well, you know what they say. Timothy Shell say. Well, you know what they Timothy Shell say. Where there's a will, there's a Timothy Shell way. Yeah, nice. Nicely done. Thanks. Oh, should we split it?
Starting point is 01:10:36 Oh, I'm happy to Timothy Shell pay. Do you think people at this point snap their phone in half? Huh? Just this is so shit, this show. No. Do you think at this point they go, I'm going to drive off a cliff? I hope not. Neither do I.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Yeah. Yeah. It's a real energy change. Fuck, we were peppy in those early episodes. Oh, I found it a bit annoying how peppy we were. I'm glad we're a bit more relaxed. It is. A barbecue chicken's shit.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Yes. I've never got. Also, I can't help but notice that I had quite a fucking hefty wheeze laugh on me then. You did. Do you reckon the fucking vapes has ruined it? Oh, definitely. Like I'm more short of breath. All those years of vaping has made me more short of breath.
Starting point is 01:11:15 I can't wheeze laugh. You're back. Mine was shocking and then we had to stop coughing fit chicken and then it went good. Now it's bad again because I swallowed that fucking tea bag. I used to do that a lot. Just like. Yeah, you did.
Starting point is 01:11:28 Anyway, are we all good otherwise? Oh, no, there's no need to head off. You're more than welcome to Timothy Shouse Day. What are we watching? Is anyone watching that? Fucking fantastic question because I need something new. I need something new. Recommendation for me, the other two.
Starting point is 01:11:43 It's on Binge or Foxtel. So funny. Really? Yeah, I think it's in my top five favourite shows ever. It is so brilliantly done. The Other Two. Premise is, here's the sell. Two siblings who are like in their late 20s, early 30s.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Their mum is played by Molly Shannon. Oh, I love her. And they've got a younger brother who's about 13, 14. Anyway, the older brother's a struggling actor. The sister works in entertainment. And the younger brother blows up and becomes an overnight success. He's like a Justin Bieber. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 01:12:13 So they're the other two. So their mum becomes his manager. He's managing this son who's the biggest star in the world. And then the other two siblings just have to go along for the ride. It's so good. You've got to watch it. That sounds good. I just finished the first season of The Summer I Turned Pretty.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Oh, my God. I watched that too, and I hate how much I liked it. Oh, I loved it. It's quite clearly skewed to teenage girls, but I was fucking eating it up. What's it called? The Summer I Turned Pretty. By the way.
Starting point is 01:12:39 Oh, my God, I love it. Who did you say was the mum in that show you were watching? Molly Shannon. I can't take Molly Shannon seriously ever since she played the American version of Kath in Kath and Kim. They did an American version. It was absolutely atrocious. The summer I turned pretty.
Starting point is 01:12:54 This cast, you two, all these kids, they just look like, oh. I know, but that's just what I want sometimes, something mindless. I've just finished watching all the five bedrooms, that fucking Aussie show, which is like fine. I liked it. I enjoyed it. But it was just there's nothing too tricky or special happening. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:13:13 Yes, I know what you mean. I agree with you that I need a good new show. I'm watching Drag Race at the moment, All Stars Season 8. Shocking. It's not good. Isn't it? No, I'm over it. I've just got drag fatigue.
Starting point is 01:13:25 I'm tired. I know a lot of friends that have been saying the same thing. Drag race used to be something they looked forward to, but there's so many different spin-offs to keep up with, and it's like, oh, fuck. It's like a chore. The one film I'm excited to see is Barbie. Oh, I can't wait for Barbie.
Starting point is 01:13:41 What is it about Barbie that everyone wants to see it? Because it's going to be self-referential, it's self-aware. It's not like a Barbie movie, like Barbie paid the rights to a movie company to make it. It's kind of like they know that they're, like they're in on the joke that it's Barbie. Right, okay. They're in on the fact. It's a bit meta. It's just a bit silly.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Yeah, yes. I mean, Greta Gerwig's directing. She's incredible. I just feel like it's going to be bang on. The cast is amazing. So good. Oh, God. Yeah, I'm very excited for Barbie. I'm so keen. I just feel like it's going to be bang on. The cast is amazing. So good. Oh, God. Yeah, I'm very excited for Darby.
Starting point is 01:14:07 I'm so keen. I'm so pumped. Oi, do you remember the fucking, I can't remember which episode, but a while ago we signed that corkscrew from the bottle of wine and put it on eBay. Yeah, we sold it for like 60 bucks or something. Yeah, and then donated it to charity, obviously. Should we do the same with this ukulele?
Starting point is 01:14:23 Show me the uke. Here. Yeah, let's fucking do it. Yeah. Yeah. Famed ukulele from episode 151. Oh, see, it's gone out of tune again. I've got a permanent marker here.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Is that permanent? Yes. I do. Staples, do your mark. Here, give me the first to sign it. You're the artist. Sorry, my back. Yeah, all right. It's going to arrive dreadfully out my back. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 01:14:46 It's going to arrive dreadfully out of tune. It's all right. You know how to work eBay and shit, right? You can list it. I can list it on my Cheery123 eBay account. What do we... I'll bring the box that it came in so you can send it to me. Yeah, nice.
Starting point is 01:14:57 What are we going to donate the money to? It's up to them. Oh, it's up to the purchaser. Oh, I love that. Got it, got it. Should I write on the back, like, as used in episode 151 of Is It Just Me, the podcast? Yeah. Well done.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Okay. And then just sign it, then I'll sign it, then Jen will sign it. Yes. And Jen will also kiss it. Yep. I'll fist it. Does that add value? Yeah, why not?
Starting point is 01:15:19 Sure. Give it a go. I'll fist it too. I'll lick it. I don't want my DNA going to someone. You're just spitting it a go. I'll fist it too. I'll lick it. I don't want my DNA going to someone. You're just spitting it. Ew. It's been a while since I've had any sort of rough and tumble action.
Starting point is 01:15:30 I might do it. How big's the hole in the centre? I might have a go at it. Give it a go. No, it's too small. And for public record, it is huge. The size of a CD, too small. Shit, my handwriting's no good, hey.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Neither is this texter, I will add. Is there another permanent marker? No, I just don't have a cache of permi-markers. It's an office. You'd think they would. I've got a gold permanent marker, yes. That's better. It's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Oh, no, that'll blend into the wood. No, but... Oh, okay. Oh, fuck. Oh, I've got a Sharpie. Wow, I have three. Oh, stop throwing them at me! You asked for them!
Starting point is 01:16:00 Oh, now look what you've done. You've distracted me. I wrote, as heard in episode of... I didn't even write the number. Mitchell, that's your dyslexia, not my fault. Dyslexia. I didn't touch her. Just to whoever wants to bid on this uke on eBay,
Starting point is 01:16:14 we'll put a link in the Facebook group. The misspelling won't rub out, so I'm just going to cross that out. 151 of, and then I'll just cross out the error. Sorry about that. It adds character. It adds so much. As Jenna just said, and rightly so, it adds character. Rightly so.
Starting point is 01:16:34 I'll write 2023 on there as well. That's a good idea. Is there room for us to sign? Because my signature is a paragraph. I figured that we signed the front. Oh, yeah. Good idea. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Am I signing? Can I sign it first like you said? Yeah, of course. You've just had plenty of time with it. Oh, yeah, good idea. Yeah. Am I signing? Can I sign it first like you said? Yeah, of course. You've just had plenty of time with it. Oh, but fuck me. Get off my dick. I thought you'd finished by now. No.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Oh, all right. It's a full sentence. Okay, sorry. It is. You did take his. Like he's riding on the Rosetta Stone. Here you go. You can sign it now, Jenna.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Oh, my God. Thank you. Can you pass my other perma markers? I've collected them over the years and I don't want Jackie O to steal them because we know she's a klepto. Thanks. I caught that. So, yes, the Facebook group will post the link to the ukulele if you want to bid on
Starting point is 01:17:13 that. Don't go crazy. But remember, it goes to a charity of your choice. All that money goes to a charity. Correct. Yeah. Do you want me to teach you a chord on that uke while it's in your hand? I can play.
Starting point is 01:17:23 I learnt the banjo, remember? It's not really the same thing. Do you still have the banjo? Yep. Do you want me to teach you a chord on that Uke while it's in your hand? I can play. I learnt the banjo, remember? It's not really the same thing. Do you still have the banjo? Yep. Do you play it? Toxic gossip train. I'll teach you a really easy one. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:33 So the string furthest away from you. Yep. The third fret. Yep. That's, no, not on the gold, in between. No, the third one. Huh? The third black space. That's the first one. No. The third one. Huh? The third black space.
Starting point is 01:17:47 That's the first one. That's the second one. One, two, three. No, no. Oh, my fucking God. The string furthest away from you. Stay on that string. Third fret.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Huh? I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fretting. That. Your finger's in the right spot. Oh, one, two, three. Got it. Yes.
Starting point is 01:18:03 There you go. That's a C. No, the whole thing. Yeah. Is, two, three. Got it. Yes. There you go. That's a C. No, the whole thing. Is that? You strum the whole thing? Yes. You play the banjo. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Mitch Turi, Jenna Benson, Mitchell Coombs. It's been signed. What did we call the song again? Rusted Bullshit. Yes. Maybe write that in cursive down the bottom on the back. Here? Yeah, maybe down the bottom there. In quotes because it's a rusted bus. Maybe write that in cursive down the bottom on the back. Here? Yeah, maybe down the bottom there.
Starting point is 01:18:26 In quotes because it's a song? Yeah, like a nice cursive italic situation. You want me to do this? Yeah. Are you no good at handwriting? I'll do it. All right. I'm started.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Oh, my God. I mean, your handwriting can't be much worse than mine. Why are you doing it so loudly? He's really causing a scene with that marker. I've done the R and the U so big that I'm going to have to start writing down. That's fine. That's elegant if the first letter of the word is really big and the rest is really tiny. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:18:56 What are you laughing at? Are you not capable of talking at the same time? Hello? Why are you so slow and loud? I can't focus. Stop throwing things at me. Stop. My heart rate has dropped.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Now do you understand why it took me so long to write what I wrote? Yes. Yeah, there you go. Show us. I want to see the progress. Yeah, I want to see. Oh, what is that? That's quite nice.
Starting point is 01:19:22 I like that. I did not expect that. What did you expect? You asked for whimsical. It's nice. Is it good? Yeah. We should take a photo of it and we'll put it up.
Starting point is 01:19:31 Let me take the photos now because the lighting's great. No, don't do it now. We're doing a podcast and you evidently can't multitask. Can you post videos to YouTube? What sort of a question is that? eBay. I think we should go. You've completely lost it.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Why are we posting it on YouTube? Can you post videos on YouTube? That's so dumb. Can you buy groceries at Woolworths? Can I send letters at the post office? Can I do shit in this toilet? Can we get off the ground in this helicopter? I'm fine.
Starting point is 01:20:06 I'm going to post that to Etsy. No, we'll pop the link in the Facebook group, Endurant Idiots. Yeah, I agree. And like we said, don't forget to let us know anything that we need to follow up on. Is it just me, Cap? Anything we said in the early days. Of course. And if you want to leave us a review, we'd love it.
Starting point is 01:20:24 Because, fuck, our listeners have better memories than we do. Sometimes in the Is It Just Me group chat, the Injured Idiots chat, they're just talking about old episodes. Have you noticed that now that we've got a group chat on Facebook Messenger alongside the Facebook group, have you noticed that they don't really welcome us in the group chat? It's not for us. It's for them.
Starting point is 01:20:43 If I contribute, no one replies. They just kind of carry on with their conversation. I had a down day the group chat. It's not for us. It's for them. If I contribute, no one replies. They just kind of carry on with their conversation. I had a down day the other day. I'm like, this will peck me out, you know. And I said, hi, everyone. Nothing. No, group chat don't give a fuck about us. I don't know who we are.
Starting point is 01:20:57 They're just chatting amongst themselves. They really are. Happy for them. Yeah. Good on them. They're independent. Yeah. But don't bite the hand that feeds you. Ow, they're biting me. Ow. Should we bloody go? Yeah, good on them. They're independent. Yeah. But don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Starting point is 01:21:06 Ow, they're biting me. Ow. Should we bloody go? Yeah, let's go. Great show, guys. Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. That's all. So we do.
