This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Can you post videos to YouTube? What sort of a question is that? Can I send letters at the post office?

Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you. Hello you. Oh, hi you. What's the goss? What's happening? I don't know. There's not much going on.

No goss. That is disappointing. It's a new week when I'm a hot girl walk this morning and here we are. Is there a difference between a hot girl walk and a walk? To be honest, sometimes when I walk, I don't know what happens in my brain, but one of those cameras that's at the football games comes out of my brain and I can see myself from a bird's eye view. Really?

You know those cameras that look at the centre of the footy field? That's what I see myself. There's a word for it. What is that? Yeah, it's called something. It's like on a zip line. Yeah, it is on a zip line. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Anyway, that's the view I have when I'm walking. I don't know how I can see it, but I can leave my body. Sounds like you're hallucinating, a bloody out-of-body experience. Probably. My pre-workout is just a mushroom. No, and it's horrific, and it's not a hot girl work at all. Have you heard the term girl dinner? No.

It's on TikTok at the moment. I've only just discovered it after your little hack last week about resetting the algorithm, which, by the way, absolute godsend. It's changed my life. I'm still stuck in Sri Lanka. Really? I'm not joking. It thinks I'm in Sri Lanka.

Why? I'm not joking. I get Sri Lankan content. Anyway, that's a bit of a bum steer for me last week. You're going to have to reset it again. No, I know I am. Now, what's a girl's dinner? Oh, no, it's called, like, this is my girl dinner.

Not girls, just girl dinner. It's basically just, like, a very half-assed meal, like pasta and a bit of olive oil and some grated cheese. Oh, right. A lazy meal, if you like. But they're like, at least I'm eating. Look at me go. I'm doing my best.

Right, right, right. I can get around that. I feel like if anyone, Prizekeeper Jenna, who's here, hi. Hi. Jenna, you'd have a girl dinner. Absolutely. Have you seen what she eats? No, why?

Oh, my God. What is it? I was horrified one time when I worked here. I was like, do you want to come to the cafe, Jenna? She goes, it's fine. I brought lunch from home. You've never seen anything less appetising. What was it, Jenna? It was yummy. A cold grey schnitzel with

a bit of rabbit food on the side. Jenna. Some lettuce and carrot. No sauce. It looked miserable. She's got a box of trill. She's just eating it with a fucking spoon. Some pellets. Some pellets. The nutritional pellets. Do you sleep in a hutch? Is that the shit you're still eating?

Actually, speaking of, Jenna, how was your move? You've moved into a new place. Yes, yes. The move was a bit stressful, but, you know, it's all done now. Good. So I'm very happy. You know moving is up there in the top three most stressful things you can go through in life. I definitely see that. But it's a divorce and it's moving, the top two most stressful things you can go through in life. I definitely see that.

But it's a divorce and it's moving, the top two. Really? And I literally essentially did both. Yeah, you did. I suppose there's a difference between wanting to move and being forced to move. Yeah. Yes. Wow.

Very well said. Because when I move, I'm like, yeah, I want to go to this place because I don't like the place I'm living in. It's still stressful, but it's probably a bit different to like, oh, they've fucking kicked us out. Oh, yeah. Or I've got no choice but to leave this house and divide my assets. Yeah.

That's grim. Your new place seems really nice. It's very, very nice. How do you know that? I haven't seen it yet. 401 Sussex. Is that correct? Yeah.

Yeah. I only just clocked that you leaked your address. It's not real, everyone. Oh, good. I think you should do like an apartment tour on our Instagram, Jenna. I think you should film that for us. Really? Should I?

She doesn't want to. No, I can. I can just imagine her behind the camera. Hi, it's Jenna. Okay, I'll do it. Great. I'll do it. Jenna will do 71 questions with Vogue, get to three questions and have nothing else to ask.

Do you reckon you'll be able to get it done by the time this episode's out? Yeah, I'll do it. Perfect. At couple of Mitch's on Instagram. Jenna's house tour. And I want my new details included. Okay. Where you got everything from, the brand of Paper Tale, are you a Viva or are you a

Chuck's girl? I want it to be like at least 10 minutes long. It's not a reel it's an IGTV. At least. Remember IGTV? Yeah. What a dumb. That was stupid. It had the static before every video. I don't have the time for static. No.

Not the kid from the garage. TikTok's trying to make longer videos a thing. Yeah. Because all the other apps are copying TikTok doing short videos. You've got the fucking Reels, the Facebook Reels, the YouTube short. Yeah. So TikTok are like, well, fuck you then. We'll go long videos.

It's very confusing. They want 10 minute videos on TikTok now. It's too much. And you know what? I watched a video the other day and it was the first video that needed a part two that I've seen in so long. And I commented, you're a fucking idiot. But I love a part two. I was so mad at her. I'm like, you don't need.

You can fit it into one. You've got 10 minutes. It was just a makeup reveal. She spent 30 seconds putting on makeup and then was like, for the final look, like for part two. Yeah, I don't care that much, sweetheart. Sorry, moving on. Especially when you actually go into their profile and they haven't even uploaded part two.

And it's just sad. Actually, that new feature on TikTok that's amazing, that if you watch a video and then it's like, like for part two, I'll update you when I find out more. If you click their profile, there's a little button that appears on the bottom right that says go to just watched. And then if you tap it, it goes right down.

That is so helpful. And then you can work out that one of the next three or four videos or five will be the one you're after. I didn't know that was a thing because I always just scroll through their profile going, where's that one I just bloody watched? It's amazing. See, just watched. I've got it too.

Oh, I see. And then you tap it and it will take you down to it. Yeah, that's handy. It's so good. I don't have that yet. Just watch. Yeah. Update your app.

I've got rolling comments like I'm standing out in front of Channel 7 headquarters in Martin Pikes. Yeah, me too. What? Like comments appear. They roll in the screen like, what are they called, Jenna? It's called something. Wow, I really need to update my app.

It's like a Rolodex. Yeah, update it. Yeah. All right. Anywho, if it's your first time listening, yeah to update my app It's like a Rolodex Yeah update it Yeah Alright Anywho If it's your first time listening Yeah this is Is It Just Me Every week we start the show the same way

With something we've noticed Something we hate Or appreciate They're the idjams Mitch doesn't know mine I don't know Mitch's Mine this week is just a fleeting thought That entered my mind

And has paralysed me since And I need to vocalise it Well get it out before you bloody forget. Off you go. Wait, I've already forgotten. Have we started the show? I'll retrace your steps. A fleeting thought.

Okay, thank you. Is it just me or... Do you ever worry how many times you've been killed in Fuck, Marry, Kill? Oh, that's a good one. I've never thought about that. Well, now it's something I'm going to worry about. Now it's in your head because I feel like no one's going to be jumping to Fuck, Mitch, Cheery.

I think. Again, this is your self-esteem acting up again. You'd be surprised. Look at all those messages you've been getting. I'm not rushing for the compliments, but my strengths in life, and I'll be honest and you can agree, is marriage. I'd rather be picked for marriage in that game. I think that's the greater compliment.

That's what I want to let down if you pick someone to fuck and they were a dud root. I know. Like if it's a fuck, marry, kill, give me three now, like celebrities. Okay. Kate Langbrook. Yep. Ruben Kay. Yep. And Margot Robbie. Give me three now Like celebrities Okay Kate Langbrook Yep Ruben Kay

Yep And Margot Robbie See I'd probably go I'd fuck Margot Robbie Just for the story That's my thinking Every time I choose who to fuck

Just for the story Smart Yeah Just to say I've been there I'd marry Kate Langbrook We have a podcast Yeah of course you would Oh that means I have to kill Ruben Kay

But I don't want to kill Ruben Kay Oh it's fine Yeah but you have to You've got to do it See sometimes you get killed Just because it's the last option. You don't want to. That's very true. And Reuben Kaye would be a great route.

I don't know. I've never pictured it. Have you? Yeah, just now. No! I'm picturing it! Okay, well, in the situation of us, this is the question I want to ask. And we can revisit this in a later episode.

Listening now, enduring idiots or idiots listening to the show, there's three of us here. This is the perfect trio for a fuck, marry, kill. Yep. Just post in our Facebook group, DM us who you would fuck, marry and kill. I'd be so intrigued. I feel like everyone's going to kill me. I'll make that our question on Spotify. If you go to the comment section on Spotify and we'll put it in the Facebook group too.

Please don't kill me. And make it an essay. I want to know why you've chosen each answer. Yes. I want you to list who you'd fuck, marry, kill out of the three of us, and I want you to justify every reason. Jenna, I do think people would kill you, but only because you're perpetual. Yeah, you'll come back to life again. Actually, that's true.

If Mitch and I are killed, that's done. It's game over. We're wasted. You're finished. You're like GTA. You wake up at the nearest hospital. And it only costs you $10 on medical bills. And it appears in the top left of your eyesight.

It's very weird with a minus number in red text. That's a good point. I just feel like I'd be great at marriage. People want to fuck you, Mitchell. Look at you. You're a little twink. Throw you around. What evidence is there for that?

You're a little pocket fuck, you know. A pocket fuck? What is that? Out of the three you know a little pocket fuck you know a pocket fuck what is that out of the three of us I'd fuck you I'd marry myself and I'd kill Jenna and bury her body in a ditch

I just worry that whoever I'm up against I'm going to be killed I reckon there'd be a lot of people choosing to marry or fuck you to be honest yeah

I'm just intrigued I'd like to know I'd never thought about it until now but that is intriguing let's play quick more rounds you give me some. We'll give each other one quickly because I gave you one.

Like three people random. Yeah. Lady Gaga, Tiffany Haddish. Christina Aguilera. Oh, great. I was going to say Daryl Braithwaite. You can't kill someone who's on the dev bed. I'd kill Tiffany Haddish

Why? She's fantastic Nah Bit of arrogance there I don't like her I've seen her on the red carpet She's mean to the reporters And that's my job sometimes

And it's not nice Yeah okay So she'd be killed In a fiery sort of explosion Yeah Do you get to choose How you kill them? In my game yeah

Fiery explosion That looks like an accident She's You know what You know how she'd die? How? We're at a barbecue and we all go inside and I go, Tiff, can you change the gas canister on the Weber Q, please? And she goes, no worries, Mitchie.

And she does and it's set to explode and she's dead. Wow. You've really thought about this. I hope I don't have to go that in depth with who I'm fucking. Which is? Christina Aguilera. You've really thought about this. I hope I don't have to go that in depth with who I'm fucking. Which is? Christina Aguilera. You'd fuck Christina? Yeah.

She's tiny and kind of like a bit of a pocket rocket and she's cute. I'd fuck Gaga. Again, just for the story. No. No. I don't want to be dominated. That scares me. You reckon she'd be dominant, would you?

Oh, yeah. Actually, no, you're right. Yeah, sure. Probably. Babble on. Babble on. Gossip. Come in me. She you know you're right. Probably. Babble on Babble on Gossip. Come in me She's got the fibromyalgia. She might like to starfish so she doesn't fuck

up her hip. Yeah but we both have chronic illnesses We'd never be able to fuck each other. We'd all get over it So I'd marry Gaga because I'm so dramatic. Imagine the stories we'd have together. We'd just embellish everything And if you got a divorce, great album on the way Fantastic. So you're doing everyone a favour. Fantastic.

Okay. Now Jenna. Okay. Mitch, let's brainstorm one for Jenna quickly. But only people, like people that. People in Jenna's wheelhouse. Yeah. Like.

Ida Buttrose. Grace Kelly. Helen Keller. Fuck, marry, kill. Oh. Thank you. Oh, don't close your eyes, Jenna. That's off.

Did you see what Jenna just did to you? Oh. Yeah. Okay, I would kill Ida. Oh. And why? How dare you? Because we all have a time that's up and maybe hers is sooner than later.

And then when she dies, you could tell everyone I fucked her. That's why I'd choose Ida to fuck. No. No. She'd just jump out a window. What? Okay. You'd kill Ida Buttrose. Yeah. Why is she jumping out a window? Because she's fallen out because she can't see

anymore. That's Helen Keller you're thinking of. No, no, no. Ida gets cataracts. Interesting. I'm marrying Helen. You're taking on a full-time care as well, you do realise. She's blind and deaf. And she's a real bitch from all reports.

She's very smart. Yeah, alright. And then I would fuck Grace Kelly. Why? Because she's beautiful. And what a story that would be. Yeah, I agree completely. She was a princess.

Actually, two of these people are already dead. Yeah, it's still alive. Oh, it's a hypothetical, Jenna. What, you really think you're going to kill Ida Bartow? She just revealed her plan. Jenna calls us both after the show. I can't do it. Step one, blind her.

I've got to heal. Step two, lead her near a window. I'm in a penthouse in Woolloomooloo. I can't do it. I can't do it. Step one, blind her. I've got to heal. Step two, lead her near a window. I'm in a penthouse in Woolloomooloo. I can't do it. I can't do it. Mitch, how could you do it to Tiffany? How did you do it? All right, who would you fuck, who would you marry,

who would you kill out of the three of us? I want justification and we'll bring you the report next week. I think it's very interesting. All right, Mitch, are you ready for yours? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go. Is it just me or? A Friday afternoon emails, just a bad idea.

Yes. Oh, if you're emailing on a Friday afternoon, you are not well. Okay, thank you. Because when it comes to email, I do kind of tend to operate like business hours, nine to five weekdays. Yes. Anything outside of that, I'm not going to check it. Yeah.

And then like most people, I'm sure, I do kind of check out on a Friday afternoon. So if it's not there by like 1 or 2 p.m., I'm probably not going to see it till Monday. No, I'm with you completely. However, there's been a couple of times recently where that's come back to bite me in the ass. I've missed a rather important email on a Friday afternoon.

Oh, no. So funnily enough, speaking of Reuben Kaye. Yeah. Do you remember we had Reuben Kaye on the podcast as a guest a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, he was great. And we were saying while he was on, oh, we'll come to your comedy show.

It sounds like a great night. Afterwards, his publicist emailed and said, oh, would you and Mitch like free tickets? And I was like, oh, fucking, we were willing to pay for them, but why not? Yeah. Sounds good. Let's do it. And then that was weeks before the show it kind of slipped my mind I never got the email yeah and then fast forward to the night of Ruben's show I just happened to be

wandering down King Street Newtown and I bumped into a friend and that's near the theater that Ruben was it was at the Enmore right yeah? Yeah, exactly. And then my friend goes, oh, nice to see you, blah, blah, blah. Are you off to Ruben as well? And I said, is that tonight? You're kidding. That bloody publicist said she'd send us free tickets and never did. Oh, fuck. Now I'm going to miss out.

Yeah. I checked my emails on Monday and they did send them on Friday afternoon. I just never saw them. Oh, no, that's on them. That's not on you. They sent your ticket directly to you, but you were on leave, so you wouldn't have been checking your work email. No, I didn't even get it.

No, I missed it. So bad luck. That's on us. What a shame. We missed the show. No, I think it's on them. No, I missed the email. It's very Matt Doran of me.

But that's not the first time that that's happened. The first time was so much more mortifying. To this day, I feel fucking terrible that this happened. Well, the fact that you still remember it. Oh. That says a lot. It was just, I felt awful. So I got a DM on a Thursday, right?

And it was inviting me to a VIP experience at Sydney Opera House, dinner and a show. The opening night of Madam Butterfly. Oh, wow. Oh, beautiful. And they said on Instagram, send us your email address by 3pm, otherwise we're going to have to give the spot to someone else. Okay. Of course, I was recording this fucking podcast, right?

Yeah, we always are. And so I didn't get them my details by 3pm, but I thought I'll send them through just in case. Yeah. And then I never got an email, so I was like, righto, I missed out. Bad luck, whatever, that's email. So I was like, righto, I missed out. Bad luck, whatever. That's fine. Then I checked my emails on the Monday morning and I had an email on Friday afternoon from Etta, who works at Opera Australia.

Of course. And she said, hi, Mitchell. I'll meet you at Mrs. Macquarie's Point on the stairs. I've got your tickets. I'll wait for you. See youie's Point on the stairs. I've got your tickets. I'll wait for you. See you tomorrow. And I was like, oh, no. Just the thought of her standing there looking for me and I never turned up. I just felt terrible.

I nearly cried. I felt so bad. Like that episode of Futurama where Fry's dog sits outside of the convenience store for him forever. I was like, that poor woman was actually physically waiting for me and I never turned up. Two tickets in hand, shivering. Yes. And she'd be a theatre woman. Her name's Antifa, for God's sake. I know.

She'd be so skinny in a red trench coat. Yeah, the big coat. It'd be a wool, merino wool jacket. Oh, God. Just looking around. Mortifying, right? Mitchell, you're an animal. I know.

That is disgusting. But she was so lovely. I actually called her because I felt that bad. Her number was in the email signature. I called her and I said, it's Mitchell Coombs. Oh, you're a huge apology. I'm so sorry. And she goes, oh, it's fine. It's fine. We all miss emails occasionally.

Listen, you've missed opening night, but if you want some free tickets to come to one of the other shows, that's okay. I can hook you up. Oh, no. I know. And I was like, nah, I don't really give a fuck about the opera buff. I was more in it for the dinner. Forget it. Fuck you, Madam Butterfly.

That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? All right, let's do an is it just you, something you've noticed you hate or appreciate. Mitch has done his, I've done mine. It is your turn. If you feature on the show, you get a prize. Yeah, Prize Keeper Jenna will send you something you've noticed you hate or appreciate. Mitch has done his. I've done mine. It is your turn. If you feature on the show, you get a prize. Yeah, Prize Keeper Jenna will send you something real nice.

Yeah. So if you do get on the show, make sure you hit her up at coupleofmitches on Instagram. Yeah. DM us or post in the Facebook group, Enduring Idiots. If you're not part of that, just search it in Facebook and join. It's very fun. Yeah. Also, you can text us, right, Mitch?

Oh, yes, of course. 0412 712 092. That's right baby! Alright, who do we have today? Lulu joining us from Western Sydney. Hi Louie! Hi Lulu. Hello. How are you doing? Well today, I'm finally talking

to you both. Finally. Have you been in the queue for a bit, have you? A bit, I've been a bit busy. It's been very hard to tie Lulu down now. Really? Oh, God. Finally. Have you been in the queue for a bit, have you? A bit. I've been a bit busy. It's been very hard to tie Lulu down down. Really? Yeah, yeah. What do you do for work work? A personal assistant.

Oh, really? Oh, shit. So you would be running off your feet. I get it. Yeah, you're busy, busy. For someone famous? No, just lawyers. Oh.

But like a famous lawyer, are they working on any big cases? Only if you need a divorce. Ooh, that's... Should have called your mum to go, Lulu! That doesn't sound that fun-fun. No. All right, all right. I need to stop.

Lulu, hit us with your idjim. Bradley, you're count, you're in, okay? Is it just me or...? Is everyone in Europe at the moment? Oh, absolutely. Trust me. Is everyone in Europe at the moment? Oh, absolutely. Fuck yes. Fuck yeah. It's horrific.

It's just. It's also like, it's really bizarre. People from completely different corners of my life just happen to be going to the same place at the same time. Yeah, same. Apparently, my Sean, my Sean. Apparently, Sean is going to be running into my parents when they go to Scotland at the same time. Yeah, same. Apparently, my Sean, my Sean, apparently Sean's going to be running into my parents when they go to Scotland at the same time. Oh, shit. How crazy.

My parents have never been overseas in their life. They only just got passports and they just happened to be bumping into Sean in Scotland. How the fuck does that work? I'm with you on that. That's fucking weird. Also, why are you not going with either of them? I wasn't invited to be fair, but. Okay.

Checks out. It's painful. Everyone is in Europe and they're all having fun. I know. It's just so sad. I don't want them to be having fun. I do. I don't mind it.

Is this the whole thing, Lulu, about being jealous of seeing all the photos? Yes, and it doesn't help I was there two months ago. Oh, you're part of the problem. So you would be extra jealous. I understand that. Who has all this leave to go and travel Europe? I have nine and a half, no, ten and a half weeks of leave. Do you really?

Yeah. You know if you leave, they have to pay that. I know. That's fantastic. That's why I've been extending it. Why don't you take a trip, Jenna? Because I want to be paid out. Oh, so if you go, you can live for ten weeks.

Yeah. Interesting. And we know how much paying the bills and feeding yourself stresses you out daily. Oh, hasn't it always been a problem? It does. It's awful. When was your last Europe? Because you've done Europe, Mitch.

Yeah, that horrible Contiki. You didn't do a fucking Contiki, did you, Lulu? No, I'm too old. Oh, right. How old are you? Trust me, you're not missing out. It was just vile. Don't do it.

How long were you there, Lulu? In Europe? I was there a month. A month. Oh, wow. Do you get homesile. Don't do it. How long were you there, Lulu? In Europe? I was there a month. A month? Do you get homesick? Because I bloody do. I think a month is just that little bit too long overseas for me. Yeah, travelling with my sister and listening to her snoring was enough.

That'll get you. See, it's all well and good on Instagram, but shit like that makes the trip not so glamorous. Alright, Lulu. Well, you know, hope we could have given you a little bit of European flavour. Oui. Yeah, let's make it feel like you're in Europe. Au revoir.

Bonjour. Au revoir. I like that. That's a bit tropical, isn't it? Ciao. Ciao. No. What about that?

Oh, in the moon, it's the sky Like a big pizza pie That's amore What's that song called? I don't know, it's just from Stuart Little Alright Lulu Ciao Au revoir She's checked out

See Hold on, is this helping Lulu? Yes, yes, definitely Wee wee. She's checked out. See. Hold on. Is this helping, Lulu? Yes, yes, definitely. I feel like I'm there. Yeah. Does this remind you of Europe? I was in mostly Ireland.

Oh, okay then. I was doing an impression of the sister snoring, Mitchell. No, I got it. You did an Irish snore. Thank you. I did an Irish snore. I went. This reminds me of Titanic.

Yes. Is this before or after the fuck? Before. When she went down to the povo floor to dance with him. Yeah. Oh, and she stands on her toes and that buck-toothed idiot goes, oh my God. Weird flex being able to stand on your toes.

Yeah, that is a weird flex. I've never even thought about that. I wonder if that's to imply that poor people couldn't do that. That's a very good point. She shamed them all. She did. Look, I exercise daily because I have enough money. Here's me standing on my heels.

And they die. Thank you, Lulu. No, she doesn't die. Thank you for having me. In the end, she jumps off that boat. I haven die. Thank you, Lulu. No, she doesn't die. Thank you for having me. In the end, she jumps off that boat. I haven't seen it in a while. Thanks, Lu. Hey, if you want to DM Jen, we'll get you a prize.

And, of course, you can DM us on Instagram, BeLikeLulu. If you've had a thought, something you've noticed you hate or appreciate, we'll get you on the show too. Right, so as you all know, I've got a little more time up my sleeve than I have in the past five years. For socialising and whatnot. More time for friends, more time for myself. I've actually realised that for the last five years,

I really haven't prioritised much of myself, which is fine. I think I'm learning that when I was in a relationship, I threw myself at that person, at that relationship. So it's nice to sort of throw things at myself. And in that process, I've realised that I don't have much to do other than this podcast. With your time. And do my radio shows.

Yeah, I've got time, but now there's no one there to use it on. I have nothing else to do. I've been a bit wandering. I've been a bit lost. I've been a bit lost. I don't know where to go. So the time you would normally spend at home with your beloved. Yeah. Or doing things.

You know, I used to love adventures and doing fun stuff. Now you're like, what do I do by myself? Yeah, I've got no one else to deal with. Yeah, I'm socialising with friends. Yeah. But also you get sad when you don't have that other person. So it's like my mind wanders. Anyway, I am officially launching today my hobby hunt.

I need a new hobby. You're looking for a new hobby? I'm looking for a new hobby and I want to try a couple and I want to dabble and I want ideas and options and I want to work towards getting a couple hobbies that I can do per week. Do you know what's fucked? I was basically going to do this exact concept as a series on my Instagram and TikTok and stuff.

Oh, really? Actually? Yes. I hadn't come up with the clever name Hobby Hunt just yet, but I was planning on doing it soon because my most recent therapy appointment, which was a while ago, he was like, so what are your hobbies? And I said, oh, you know, I do a podcast, I make videos. And he goes, no, no, that's your job now.

I said, yeah, but it started as a hobby. And he goes, well, now that it's not your hobby anymore, you need a different hobby. And I was like, fuck, what am I going to do, golf? Yes. So I was going to go on Instagram and ask people what their hobbies are and then film myself trying them. Oh, my God, we could do it together.

I mean, we could do. Hobby hunt. Like, I could go to Pilates with you and do some bar. Oi, you might actually, actually, I don't know if you'd like it or not. Would I? I mean, I'm absolutely down for that. Come along to a class. I was on TikTok Live with you not long ago and I did a bit of Pilates on the live and

I was okay. I've been trying to drag Jenna along to bar classes as well. Yes, I'm intrigued by bar. Oh my God, should the three of us do a bar class? Yes. You never know. You might love it because I absolutely adore it. Well, okay. My current hobbies are, the only real thing that I've added in is exercise.

So I'm doing 10,000 steps a day. I'm going to the gym twice a week. I've got a personal trainer. And that started out as a hobby, but now it's kind of like just- See, I don't really categorize exercise as a hobby. Yeah. Unless you're doing an activity like fucking tennis or something. Yes.

But I kind of put exercise more in the self-care category than hobby. You know what I mean? Oh, my God. But also I'm talking about going for walks and shit. That's self-care. However, going to Pilates, yoga, barre classes, for me that's a bit of both because I do enjoy them. No, you're right.

I don't think it counts. I'm just trying to think of what I've added because I've got work every day, the radio show every day. Then I've got this podcast once a week. You're right added because I've got work every day, the radio show every day then I've got this podcast once a week you're right, then I've got like hanging with friends I need a hobby and I'm thinking I'm just googling hobbies to try gardening, pottery

no reading, nah I can't say that wait did you say pottery? yeah sorry that's what I want to do sorry Jenna I ignored you that's okay yes I want to do pottery You want to try pottery? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, Gemma. I ignored you. That's okay. Yes, I want to do pottery.

I want to get a pottery wheel and a furnace. I can totally see you doing that. Oh, but don't do what you usually do, which is buy all this shit and then not actually use it. I think you have to go to a class or just try it first. Like instead of signing up to my bloody Pilates studio, maybe I should see if they'll do like just for us so we can film it. Yeah. They'll do like a little 15-minute teaser class.

Yeah, a little trial. Instead of doing a full one and then being like, oh, God, I've paid for five fucking classes. I'm going to write these in my notes. So I think a bar could be good. Pilates could be good because it is in the exercise, which I'm really focused on at the moment, and it's social. Hobby.

Yeah. You don't really talk to people during the class, but sure. There's still people there. Then I'm not going. I mean, we're going to have to if we're recording it. But anyway, that's another discussion. Knitting. What about knitting? You know what?

I would like to knit. Really? Yeah, one of our staunch listeners, Josie Mitzi, shout out, last winter knitted you and I. And me. And Jenna a beanie and a scarf. And I've been wearing it this week. I didn't get a beanie, but I do love my scarf from Josie. I love my scarf. Me too.

I love a green one, Josie. And I. She's going to actually do that now. I'm joking. Josie, don't do it. Don't worry, Josie. Forget about it. She's busy with her pussycats.

I would love to do knitting or crocheting or what's the other one with it's like a circle then it's the artwork oh what do you call that crochet isn't that crochet cross stitch yeah i think that's what i'm after yeah that'd be good something that's busy with the brain but then i also would like new friends so i'm thinking something in a group like no one gets together to knit unless you're in you know know, end of life care. Well, I'm just looking at the other hobbies to try on the list that I've Googled. What about baking? Oh, that's nice. Oh, I love baking.

Me too. I used to be a, not a good baker, but I used to bake all the time. Same, but then I would eat the whole fucking thing. Yeah, me too. That's true. I don't have the willpower. There's something worse than making a whole cake and then you're like, oh, no one's going to finish it.

I'll throw it out. I just couldn't let myself do that. I was raised in a drought, mate. I'm not fucking wasting food. So I'd eat the whole thing. Do you remember the first thing that you baked or booked that made you think, oh, my God, I love baking? Well, it was actually watching the Great Australian Bake Off.

I was like, right, I'm just going to make that my personality now. Oh, mine was Julie Goodwin baking the croquembouche in Martyrshire. Oh, yep. She was so sweaty and stressful and I really emulated every part of her. Really, really was hot and sweaty. Okay, baking's good. Now I want- Photography.

Oh, you know what? That is a hobby of mine. Okay. You know, whenever I travel, I shoot film. I shoot 35mm Kodak film or Fujifilm film. Thank you. And then I actually have a very fancy Fujifilm film simulation camera. You know, I went to Hawaii.

I shot the whole thing on film. It is a hobby. It is fun having those. But the thing is, it's one of those hobby, like, what am I going to do? Take photos of us in studio? Yeah. What's wrong with that? No, like, it's Google.

I realised recently that I don't have a cute photo of me in the studio doing the podcast. I never have one. Okay. So I can take that. Yeah, go on. I can do that. All right. Next week, I'll bring my camera in. We'll do a little photo shoot.

Oh, that's fun. I've been thinking about getting a camera because when I was on my Tassie trip, I borrowed my friend Clay's camera and I was like, I miss having a camera separate to the phone. I used to be a mad photographer. I was all about it. I think I need to get back into it. Oh, my God.

I think it's a very queer thing to have a photography phase. But if we're going to do this hobby hunt together, we can't do fucking boring shit because that's not a good video. We need to do like paintballing or some crap like that. That's not a hobby. Isn't it? We could. What do you want to do?

A tough mudder. Yeah, we'll do tough mudder. Let's do tough mudder. One of them on the list of hobbies is do stand-up comedy. Hey, that's also a profession. How dare you? Line of work. Woodwork.

Oh, I've been doing a lot of that about 11pm at night. Oh my God. Origami. Similar to woodwork, to be honest. Oh, I went through an origami phase. Did you? I was making origami everything. Paper cranes, whales.

Yeah, everything. What about geocaching? Oh, I've been through a geocaching period. Have you? Yeah. I geocache for a bit. See, I actually would argue that you don't need a new hobby because you already do things.

You just don't tell us about them. That's true. I was shocked when you came to my place the other day to discover just how intensely you are of a gamer. Oh, I'm a big gamer. I had no idea. I'm a good gamer. We played Fortnite and your friends were shocked at how good I was.

It was surprising. It was very confronting. You know what's weird? For someone who talks about themselves a lot, like for a profession, I don't say a lot of those things. No. There's a lot to, I need to. Like, why didn't we do a segment on geocaching on the podcast? We could have sent Jenna on a wild goose chase.

A wild goose cache. Nice. I like that. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Okay.

For those who don't know, how do we explain geocaching? Geocaching is like a global sort of hide-and-seek game where people hide items. They're often in a Tupperware or like a lockbox, but they're hidden in extremely elaborate places. So there'd be one brick on the pillar of the Harbour Bridge that is loose, but it's padlocked closed. But the code to it is on the Opera House sails underneath. Like, it's a giant puzzle. It's very, very cool. Oh, my God.

I just opened the geocaching app, went to my current location. Look how many fucking things are hidden around this area. Show me. Heaps. Should we do that next week? Just send Jenna out on a geocaching hunt? Yeah, Jenna, are you okay to go geocache? Absolutely.

All right. All the three of us can go. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, this is a geocaching hunt. Yeah, Jenna, are you okay to go geocache? Absolutely. All right. All the three of us can go. Yeah. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, this is a lot to play with. Yeah. Photography.

I do love to game. Okay. Hold on. If anyone listening wants to game with me, message me and I'll give you my game details. We can all play. We can play. I got a headset. I play Fortnite.

I play Zelda. Yeah. See, I didn't know that you were that into it. Yeah, me too. I've been a gamer for as long. I've had every console. I lined up at midnight to get the GameCube, lined up at midnight to get the Switch.

How do you feel that that doesn't count as a hobby? You've got plenty. I'm the one that's clearly in dire need. Well, it's because I'm heartbroken and I need to fill the void. Oh, well, then just get back to the things you already enjoyed, like fishing. That's on the list. You like fishing?

Yeah, I love to eat fish. Fishing is so fucking boring. Like once you've cast the rod, what next? Sit there and get day drunk. What a hobby. And sunburnt. Bitch about your missus. Bird watching.

Oh, that's nice. I think I'm not patient enough for bird watching. No, I'd give up real quick. We have ADHD. We think I'm not patient enough for bird watching. No, I'd give up real quick. We have ADHD. We wouldn't be able to look for the bird. Listen to you. Fucking including yourself in that.

We've got ADHD. I'm undiagnosed. Yeah. Chess. I actually played chess. Oh, for God's sake. I've learned to play and I enjoy it, yeah. Is there anything you don't do? Well, I've just gotten into Sudoku.

Sudoku? Really? It's Sudoku. Oh, what did I say? Sudoku. Sudoku. Oh, sorry. Sudoku.

Mew. Sudoku. Oh, look outside at that gorgeous blouse guy. Mitchell, it doesn't work. It so does. It's okay. we'll get through this Achoo! Sorry, it's the flower

Make sure you leave us a review Oh no You know what I was re-watching the other night? What? Made me cry What? Monsters Inc When Sally closes that door

On poor little Bao, I cried. Do you need a tish out? I did at the time. I did at the time. All right, can we move on from this? My brain can't cope. My favourite show as a child was Winnie the Pooh. Okay.

Sorry. Once I'm on this, I can't stop. Anyway, get a new hobby, I guess. Send us your hobbies, idiots, so that Chiri can take inspiration. These are all very, like, top-line hobbies. I want really niche shit. Totally. I remember one of our listeners, this is something I considered for my hobby hunt,

one of our listeners told me that they volunteer at, I think it's a Sydney guinea pig rescue place. What? And I had guinea pigs as a kid, so I was like, maybe I should do a shift at the guinea pig hospital or whatever it's a Sydney guinea pig rescue place. What? And I had guinea pigs as a kid so I was like maybe I should do a shift at the guinea pig hospital or whatever it's called. Haven't looked into it but I've been thinking of doing it. I think that's a step just thinking of looking into it. I met up with some guinea pig people.

Yeah. Oh. Is the fire alarm going off? Oh, there's a flashing light in here. Is that off air? It is the fire alarm. It is. Is it? Yeah. All right, well, we should probably go on that now.

I don't really feel like going. Oh, do we have to fucking evacuate? Oh, it's literally saying evacuate as directed. Well, no one's directed us. No, I... And no one can. No. We're an original owned podcast. We're a small business.

They can't tell us what to do. Yeah, I haven't been directed. Everyone is leaving. I just don't know whether to take it seriously or not because it happened all the time when I worked here. Oh, look, the fire. Oh, God, the warden's here and everything. Oh, they have to wear red hats? So are we just going to burn to death or are we going to evacuate?

Let's just go to a break and we can sort it out. All right. Oh, why can't we burn? You can stay if you want, Jenna. That's voluntary. Okay. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood.

Okay, we're back. We survived. We're alive. We didn't burn. It's all good. Well, Jenna perished, yeah. Yeah, she's no longer with us, which is very unfortunate. Oh, she's just reappeared because she's perpetual.

She's here. In another life. I ordered an urn on Amazon for you and everything. Yeah, I'm back. Had a little cat on it. Oh, that's cute. We're back. Now, just a reminder about our very special Talk Back Tings Live episode coming up.

It'll be here before you know it. August 12th, Saturday afternoon, 5pm Sydney time is when we're going to kick off our live stream. You can watch the whole episode live. You can call in, chat to us about anything you like. Yeah, it's your chance to connect with the show as if it's live, like a radio show. Yeah, because usually you just get this pre-recorded piece of shit every week. But now, this time, you're going to be able to be there for all the magic. Have people really put together the pieces that a podcast really is just a very long fucking voicemail?

It is actually. Like that's all a podcast is. Like you don't get to talk back. If Instagram didn't have the one minute time limit on those bloody, you know, the voice messages, you can say, oh, this is what it would sound like. Oh my God. Do you know the amount of times I've been cut off and the juicy bits at the end and then I forget? It's so frustrating. Instagram needs to vibrate the phone.

What's the longest voice message anyone's ever sent you? Oh, my God. I think like five, six minutes. Oh, I can beat that. My friend Oscar sent me a 12-minute voice message once, just telling me the gossip from the night before. And then Sean and I were like, oh, we'll save it for the drive. It'll be like a podcast just listening to his story.

At that point, I'm not interested. I'm not because you can't pause it because if you ever tried to pause a voice note and then scrub it, like fast forward. I think you can do that. Yeah, but not with this fucking Shrek thumb. I can't. I like try to tap it and I tap the four previous messages

and I end up like doing the exclamation point react on messages. I'm like, this is fucked. Anyway, yes, long story short, Talk Back Tings Live is happening. We're going to have a live number. You can call us. You can chat to us. You can ask us anything. Haven't, is it just you of your own?

Last year was so fun, so I'm looking forward to it. It's like a little night out, and we've timed it perfectly because the theory and the thinking is that you're going to go out, you might have dinner. Everyone on a Saturday at that point in time is in bed sort of chilling or at home just relaxing. Or like you're starting to get ready really slowly for your Saturday night plans.

Perfect, exactly. And we'll be ordering food. Why is you're starting to get ready really slowly for your Saturday night plans. Perfect. Exactly. Yeah. And we'll be ordering food. Why is that so important to you? You've asked that. You can do what you want. You're a grown adult. Has this move ruined you? Yeah, a bit.

Inflation's really rough. It really is. It's hitting your heart. I haven't eaten. Jenny, we'll get food, yes. Thank you. And we'll put it on the KTO. It's okay.

Yeah, I'm sure we can manage that. We can shout you a chicken rooster roll. Now, before we go, just one little peek behind the scenes I wanted to give food, yes. Thank you. We'll put it on the KTO. It's okay. I'm sure we can manage that. We can shout you a chicken rooster roll. Now, before we go, just one little peek behind the scenes I wanted to give you, Ryan. So, you know how every week at the very start of the episode, we've got the podcast opener, the whole, this is, is it just me? All that shit. Sets the scene. It's the branding for new listeners.

Yeah. And you know how every week we've been alternating different little grabs from the show, little, you know, examples of the episode. It's just like a good laugh. It's a bit of fun. Yeah. And so I made a new one for this week's episode. There was a funny moment from last week's episode that I put into the opener.

And I noticed it was that moment when you said, oh, can you put videos on YouTube? And I said, can you send letters at the post office? As if to be like a fucking course you can. Yeah, stupid. And I noticed when I was making the opener that when I said post office, even with my lisp, I must have done too good of a job at hiding my lisp because my S's were too crisp, if anything. There was like a little whistle. Oh, really?

When I said post office. And it sort of hurt my ears a bit. I was like, oh, that's a bit much. And so I tried adding a de-esser effect to try and make the S less sibilant. Oh, I've heard of that. Fuck, that was hard to say, by the way. That's tough for you. S less sibilant.

Wait, so it's like a software that listens to the audio and tries to pull out the harshness of the S. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it didn't work. Why? It had the opposite effect.

So I don't know why, but the de-esser software didn't even recognise that I was saying the letter S, probably because I say it differently, because I've got a lisp. However, you, who does not have a lisp, it removed your S's to the point where it just sounds like you have a full-on speech impediment. What do you mean? Listen, I'm going to play it to you. Ready?

This is what the de- DS filter did to our audio. Okay. Can you post videos to YouTube? What sort of a question is that? Can I send letters at the post office? That's so dumb. Can you buy groceries at Woolworths? Can we get off the ground in this helicopter?

Can we buy groceries at Woolworths? Oh, my goodness. It sounds like I've got a cleft palate. But I sound completely normal. Can you buy groceries at Woolworths? Oh my goodness. It sounds like I've got a cleft palate. But I sound completely normal. Can we buy groceries? No, all that is telling me is that your S's are so fucked that the software makes your sound normal but has to kill mine. It doesn't even recognise my S's as S's.

Imagine if, I don't really listen back to the podcast. Imagine if you'd been doing that for the last 150 hours. I know. I've never used it until now and I won't be using it again. Although I did try it with another bit of audio to see if it does it to every piece of audio. Ready? It started again, giving you a full on speech impediment. In high school, I thought compulsory meant you had a choice.

So my year advisor, Mrs. Moyman, went, oh no, Mitch, math is compulsory. I went, fantastic. I'll do two courses of drama. Oh my, I sound, fantastic. I'll do two courses of drama. Oh, my. I sound so gay. It missed a couple of them there, but it was like, math is compulsory. It makes me sound like I'm talking like this with my hands. Math is compulsory. It's me doing a campy accent.

But mine was completely fine. Post office. No, it actually, I think it crisped yours up a little bit. Yeah, it made them worse, if anything. That is so stupid. Oh, my God. Should I say something with heaps of S's now and then someone else can try? She sells seashells by the seashore.

Okay. Actually, before you do it, do it onto a voice memo. I'll put the S filter on it right now. Oh, smart. She sells seashells by the seashore. How many S's in that? All right, let's see. Oh, let's see this.

Air drop that to the laptop. This is fun. Got the audio. Good. God, you're a tech whiz. I know, and today of all days, but it's going to take forever. Loading. The software's opening.

There we go. Juni Cortez. Spy kid. All right, hang on. D, S, yep. A real spy kid. Loading The software's opening There we go Juni Cortez Spy Kids Right hang on DS Yep A real spy kid Okay ready

I'll play it off my laptop She sells Fish No Oh my god That's hurt my feelings That's too far Who would ever use that

Software And be like Nah it's good to go Let's release that episode. It's perfect. If there's a de-esser, the sign says that there's an ad-esser, right? Or there's something that will bump up the S. Welcome to the podcast.

Hey, I just really hands up. Thankfully. Thankfully. See you next week. We should get out of here, shouldn't we? Yeah, we really should. Let's go. Thank you for listening to the show.

See ya. We're done. We're done. This is the end of the show. We're not forgetting anything. No. We'll see you guys in a week. Yeah.

Bye. Kidding, Mitchell. It's your birthday. Oh, this is the redemption news. The redemption. You did remember. We remembered. And we left it to the end to edge you

Injun coloured flowers. Do you love them? You're so smart. Oh, look at that. I was literally going to swing by the fucking server on the way home and buy myself flowers, as Miley would say. But look at that. You can shake your own hand.

Explain the colours on them. Oh, you've even got a bit of blue in there too. Yeah. I went to the florist and said, hi, I need flowers for my podcast co-host. She said, what do you want? I went, I want pink, blue and yellow. And she said, that's disgusting.

It looks beautiful, actually. No, that's what she said. She said they won't work. And I said, just please, for the love of God. I feel they do. Do it. I thought you just, like, grabbed a pre-made bunch, but these are custom flowers. Oh, these are custom made.

You're too good to me. That's so nice. Also, your second and final gift. Oh, I've got one too. Oh, a separate gift from Jenna. Happy birthday. Okay. She's got a, it's a piece of paper.

Yes, it's a piece of paper. Let's have a look. A lot of thought and time and effort put into that, Jenna. Oh, okay, yay. It's a piece of paper. Yes, it's a piece of paper. Let's have a look. A lot of thought and time and effort put into that, Jenna. Oh, okay. Yes. A $50 voucher for a beautician. What work do you think I need done, Jenna? Oh, no, I looked into it.

They do spray tans, they do facials. Oh, okay, that'll be good. They do all of that. That'll be handy. And it's in your suburb, so. Oh, perfect. Yeah, hopefully. Yeah, that's just downstairs from me. Well done not dox in your suburb. Oh, perfect. Yeah, hopefully. Yeah, that's just downstairs from me.

Well done not doxing your suburb. That's brilliant. Yeah, I know. I nearly read it out and then I was like, that's literally in my complex. Can you get a facial, Mitchell? That's nice. I don't think I've ever had one. Oh, really?

Yeah. Get Sean onto that. He should fix it. Oh, please. That should be quite easy. That's a sword. All right, we need to give you your third and final gift, Mitchell. Yeah.

I'm being spoiled. We are in a podcast studio, if you could please, and I want you to feel like we've prepared something because we have. If you look at the phone lines here, you'll see Betty in Blacktown. What does call the number down the bottom? What does it say? Oh, Betty Blacktown Prize Pig. That's not Betty.

Am I supposed to read that out? That's not Betty in Blacktown. She's not a prize pig. Please welcome to the show your third and final gift. Hello? Hello. It's Sean! Hello!

I literally just saw him an hour ago, but okay. I know. Why did I think it was going to be Kate Langbrook? That's her nickname, Betty from Blacktown. Hi, Sean. Oh, hello. How are you? Yes, we're good.

They've just spoiled me with flowers and a gift card. So, yeah, it's all good. I'm so glad. Last year is made up for. I was a little bit, yeah, I was a little bit worried. I thought that was beautiful. You and I both, Sean. Now, Mitch has something that he wants from you.

He wants a facial. Oh. Oh. facial. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Oh. He was just saying, because I said, oh, this beautician voucher, lovely. I've never had a facial. And he goes, oh, I'll get Sean into it.

Yeah. Come on. Yeah. No, that's sage advice there. Thank you. I don't think I would allow that. Just have a litre of water and you'll be fine. What are you guys doing?

Because it's next Tuesday. What are you doing? Are you going to go out for tea? What are you going to do to celebrate? Yeah, I haven't actually organised it yet, but I might just do a pub dinner with a few friends. I've invited Jenna. She's the only person I've invited so far.

What the fuck? And guess what? I'm going. What am I? Oh, brilliant. We'll hold you to it. Can't wait. You can hold me to it.

I feel I've been invited as well. Yeah. Yes, yes. Both of us, yeah. Do you want to invite me now? You'll be on the radio when we're having dinner. I can come. Really?

Yeah, I can pull some strings. Do you really want me to hold you to that? Because you won't be there. Well, invite me either way. Oh, all right then. I can turn up after. Your things always go back to a house or something. I can come to the late night version.

That's true. You could. Yeah, the kick-ons. That's true. You could. Yeah, the kick-ons. Yeah, kick-ons. We'll see. Can I just say, we have had some big celebs on this show, none harder to tie down than Sean.

Really? He said, I've got a gala to attend in 10 minutes. I'm like, who has a gala? Did I say gala? What are you going to in 10 minutes? That might have been a 10-minute. Oh, a work thing. I'm representing my current boss at the same event that my former boss will be at.

There's no bad blood. Everything's good. But it's the first time I would have seen her since I jumped ship. Sorry, he says, I have a function. I'm looking forward to seeing it. Function, not a gala. Sorry, sorry. Where did a gala come from? Function and gala have the same energy.

Well, happy birthday, Mitchell. We love you. Yes, happy birthdayala. Sorry, sorry. Where did a gala come from? Function and gala have the same energy. Well, happy birthday, Mitchell. We love you. Yes, happy birthday. Happy birthday, Mitchell. Oh, thank you. So why have you gotten Sean on? Just because he loves you and we love you and this is all the people that love you in one room. Oh, how lovely.

This is lovely. I think this is nice. I really like this. This is really lovely. I did just see Sean an hour ago. I was getting the tyre change on his car for him. Yeah. Can I embarrass Mitchell for tyre change on his car for him. Yeah. Can I embarrass Mitchell for a moment?

Oh, please do. My God, what the hell would I do without you? This is the second time my tyres have popped in a short number of months. March was the last time I got them fixed for him. Wow. Yeah, exactly. Because when anything terrible happens, that's a little bit beyond the scope of my capability, my interest is to just die on the spot.

But Mitchell keeps me calm and not only helps me fix it, he just takes over and takes it off my hands and does it. And I'm just so lucky. Thank you so much, Mitchell. Oh, pleasure. Literally. You're just beautiful. He was on the phone to me last night and he goes, oh, I think I've hit something.

Oh, Mitchell. Oh, I popped a tyre. And you know me, like any opportunity to show off. My love language is access service. I was like, brilliant. I'll deal with it. Fantastic. This is the best.

I'm on my way. I'm in my element. Oh, my God. That is you. When I was moving, Mitch was like, yeah, I'll come and bring my drill. Well, help me move your washing machine. I don't need you to. I tell you what, Mitchell was looking so masked this morning changing that tire.

Oh, really? It was noted by the staff, I'll have you know. In that beautiful knitwear jumper. And my scrunchie, really masked. And your scrunchie, Really masculine. Really masculine. You were kneeling on that towel. I saw it. It was very dainty.

Yeah. He got his poor hands a little bit dirty. It was very stressful. He's a country boy. I was stressed for him. He's okay. Oh, well, Sean, we just wanted to pop in. You know, Mitchell, this is more for the listeners and the idiots.

You know, they love hearing from the boyfriends. They're true. From the boyfriend and, you know, hearing the love that they have for you. Should I take my headphones off and not listen and Sean can tell you what he's getting me for my birthday? Oh, yeah. Because I don't yet know. Yeah, that's fantastic.

And I haven't gotten it at the time of record. All right, I'm going to turn your mic off too. That's a great idea. And then headphones off. Turn your voice off. I'm going to leave the room. I don't trust you. Okay, hold on, Sean.

He's leaving the room. I'm sure someone's got a tie for you to change. He's leaving the room. The door is closed. Wait until it's fully closed. All right, Sean. He's leaving the room. I'm sure someone's got a tie for you to change. Wait until it's fully closed. All right, Sean, he's gone. Yep, he's gone. He's around the corner. Okay, so I'm going to fill the beans a little bit. I'm actually battling Mitchell's mum, Jane, beautiful Jane,

because she rang me asking for any ideas or anything that I've noticed that Mitchell might want. And I was like, yeah, I'm asking myself the same thing. There's this beautiful like green, like branded shirt from the Pilates yoga studio he goes to. Yeah. I know he's got his eye on, but we all know Mitchell. He just, he, if he wants something, he hops on Amazon.

He buys it. So it's really hard to buy something in time. But I've given Jane this idea and now I'm like, oh, I shouldn't have. I should have been selfish and kept that to myself. So either Jane or I will get it for him. But in the meantime, I'm taking him to Gold Class to see Barbie on the weekend.

Oh, gorgeous. That's a great gift. And then the physical present will either be the green thing from the yoga thing or I'll have to scramble and find something else last minute because I think I may have people pleased a bit too hard and let Jane have that. Definitely. Also, there is a physical gift you can give him that Jane cannot provide

and I hope that happens. I just hope that happens, okay? Back in, back in, Mitchell. Mitchell was winding up. He had his fingers going, hurry up. Sean gave us a very long, it'll be great podcasting, don't worry. I just realised I'm poor in this plan. What?

I have to edit this podcast before my birthday. No, no, no. I'll be honest. I'll be honest. No editing needed in that moment. So just don't listen to it, I promise. Don't edit that. His word economy was great.

Really? I felt like I was out there a long time. No, no, no. He did say one thing that was mildly racist, but it won't end his career. Just keep it in. He'll be fine. Keep it in. Keep it in.

He'll survive. Definitely. Definitely. We love you, Sean. Thanks for coming on the show. We love you, Sean. Thank you. Thanks for the invite.

And happy birthday, Mitch. I know I'll see you very soon. Several times. I'm very excited for you. You are together. Yeah. Yes, obviously. I'll probably talk to you after the recording as well.

Sure. Really rubbing it in there, aren't you? I'll see everybody on Tuesday as well, then. Yes, obviously. I'll probably talk to you after the recording as well. Sure. Really rubbing it in there, aren't you? I'll see everybody on Tuesday as well then. Yes, you will. Well, no, I haven't got the official invite. I just gave you the fucking invite. Oh, yay! I can't come.

I'll see you on Tuesday, Sean. We love you. Awesome. Love you guys. Bye. Have fun at the function. Oh, there you go, Mitchell. It's your shorts.

Because when I saw Betty from Blacktown, remember that was Kate Langbrook singing? I know. That's why I did it. Oh, God. I just did it as a dumb joke. So happy birthday. Thank you. Anyway, now we should go because this is blowing the episode out.

Yeah, sorry about that. No. And I'm not even allowed to edit it down. No, don't touch it. Don't you dare touch it. You can't. All right, we'll see you in a week. We love you all.

Thank you for listening. Five stars, of course, if you can.. All right, we'll see you in a week. We love you all. Thank you for listening. Five stars, of course, if you can. And, yeah, we'll see you next Monday. Catch you soon. Bye, idiots. Bye. 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 AD Deep Brief. This is our secret segment. On the end, we pretend that we're done, but we're not done. We just talk shit for a bit. Yeah, and we just chill. People often say to me, oh, as if people are that stupid, as if people haven't found the secret segment yet.

You'd be surprised. It's a bit of fun, people. Because some people just, if they hear the show in, they'll click on a song or something. You know, they'll move on with their life. I have wondered if there's anyone that has listened to the show for as long as we've been making shows that has not clocked onto the fact. I don't think so.

I doubt it. They would have found out fact. I doubt it. They would have found out eventually. I doubt it. God, someone posted in our Facebook group, which once again, if you're not in Endurant Idiots, E-N-D-U-R-A-N-T, idiots, because some people really are actual idiots, and trust me, they spell it in very weird ways, in the same way that people still think idgm is I-D-G-E-M.

Or I-T-J-M, idgm. Oh, is my idjim just me? Is tit just me? I'm like, yeah, well, is it just me or should you go to TAFE? No, that's mean. I went to TAFE. No, I know. No, I'm not knocking TAFE.

I'm knocking people needing to be educated. Anyway. And they said, I've just gone back and listened to every episode. I've gone back and I've just discovered the podcast miraculously and I've gone back and listened to all of them reverse. Which makes me nervous. I could never listen to a podcast in reverse. No.

It just doesn't. I can't. I want to listen from a chronological order. Yeah. Hey, someone messaged me and said, thanks for the recommendation. I recommended the other two. Yes. Oh, yeah.

And she posted in the group and everyone's like, we loved it. We loved it. So another recommendation because I'm on fire. Bad joke. Given the current two. Yes. Oh, yeah. And she posted in the group and everyone's like, we loved it. We loved it. So another recommendation, because I'm on fire. Bad joke, given the current climate. Too soon. Barry. It's also on Binge or Foxtel Go. Barry?

Yeah, Barry. I think I've heard of it. Really good. It's dark, dark comedy. Oh, that's very me. Very you. Barry, here's the synopsis. Oh, it's not even new.

It's like, oh, is it still going? The final season that ends it all just came out. Oh are you. Barry, here's the synopsis. Oh, it's not even new. It's like, oh, is it still going? The final season that ends it all just came out. So you can get up to speed. What if I just watch it in reverse chronological order? It will ruin everything for you. It'll make no sense. Barry is an assassin, like a hitman. And Bill Hader.

I thought so, yeah. And he's a hitman. He kills people. However, he moves to LA for a new start and starts doing acting classes because he wants to change his way. He's like, I can't be a hitman anymore. So he goes to do improv and acting classes. This sounds amazing. But then his hitman past catches up to him and then he has to kill.

But he's also studying acting. So all his friends are like, do you want to come to my place tonight and we can practice our lines for Othello? But then he's also killing people by day. It's so good. You just reminded me that last time I was playing Grand Theft Auto with my friend Aislinn, not my cup of tea co-host back in the day, of course. Grand Theft Auto is set in LA, right?

Or Vinewood. It's like a rip off of LA. And we're just going around killing people and she goes, is there any rule in this game that says you have to kill? Like, what if we just tried to make it as an actor on Grand Theft Auto? We just went to auditions. You probably could. You know, you probably could. Well, that was like you and I played it the other night at your house on the gaming night.

And I've played before. So I know you can- You knew all these fucking hacks. I was like, where have you been hiding this hobby? If you get in a taxi in Grand Theft Auto 5, you don't have to just hijack it and drive it around. You can turn on the meter and start taking trips. Yeah.

And you can be a taxi driver and make money. Really? Yeah, I had no idea. It was really fun, yeah. And it's like good money too. Great money. If you shoot someone on the side of the road in Grand Theft Auto, they might only have 14 bucks on them.

But this taxi, we were cleaning up. We were. It was like overtime and a half in Vinewood. Oh, my God. Now, I can't forget, by the way, we got a little delivery this week. Oh, we did? Yeah. We did.

Do you have it? Yeah, it's over here. So, Jen, I'm going to give you this ruler. Can you try and unbox it? Yes, I will. Now, this is from Mitch, who was our Is It Just You caller last week. Yeah, the Mitch that I assumed was straight, but huge mistake. Another gay boy, just like us.

So he also runs Lone Clothing Company and sent us some of his stuff, which is very gorgeous. Can I just say, I was on the phone to one of my good friends, also a gay Mitch. Hilarious. That's actually so funny. And he was saying, that Mitch sounded so fucking hot. So Mitch, if your relationship ever fails, we've got plenty

for you. And I'm not wishing that upon you. Jenna, I've never seen someone struggle to open a box more. I'm not struggling. I'm doing each bit of tape individually instead of just going whoosh with one swipe. I'm not. I'm doing it nicely. Why? Because I want to.

So Mitch, can you plug his company? What is it? Oh, I just said Lone Clothing Co. Sorry. Yeah, Lone Clothing Co. Here we go. You can just follow Lone Clothing Co. on Instagram. Right, she's opened them up. Here we go.

This is for me. It says cat lady. Oh, we labelled it cat lady. Oh, Mitch, that's fucking funny. Hot and funny. Sounds like me. Mitchell Coons. Mitchell Cheery.

Oh, yeah. Oh, thank you. Chuck my... Thanks. And this Sounds like me. Mitchell Coons. Mitchell Cherry. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Chuck my. Thanks. And this is for me. It feels luxurious and heavy. I know. All right.

Let's open this slut up. Oh, I like this already. Oh, I love this. Look at this. Oh, look how cute this is. Show me. Josie, forget it. I've got a beanie now.

Oh, me too. We don't have to knit a thing. Oh, I got one as well. Oh, there's multiple things in here. Oh, my gosh. You're too generous if you're listening. I got a beanie in brown. This is amazing.

Oh, a black button-up. That'll be good for the next funeral. Oh, I love this. I'm not really a beanie person. Oh, this one has a rainbow on it. Gay, love it. Are these the quality? I'm a slut for a black tee.

That's gorgeous. Wow. They've got extra large. Fuck, I love them. Oh, my God. There's so much. Oh, my God. Look at all these shirts.

Bitch. This is not me as fuck. Show me. Oh, that's so you. That's coming with me to Stonewall one night. This is very me. A corduroy shirt. Jenna.

This is nice. I know that people can't see what we're unboxing, but the long story short is this is all fucking delightful. You're going to have to check out Lone Clothing Company because holy shit. This is so many. Mitch, this is far too kind. Jenna, what did you send him in return?

Did he get one fucking pop socket? No, he got three pop sockets and a mug. Good. Oh, gorgeous. That seems fair. It doesn't really, like in terms of value, he's probably far more out of pocket. This is great. At Loan Clothing Co.

Also, loanclothingco.com.au. Go and support an Aussie brand and an Endure an Idiot brand. And it's like good shit. It's amazing. You know when you can feel that a shirt's going to get a hole in it? These won't. I'm surprised at the quality, to be honest. This is really nice.

Well, seeing as it's my birthday, you may as well sacrifice your stuff and give it to me. No! I've got me clothes and my flowers. I'm happy over here. Does the beanie suit me? Actually, yeah. I've never thought of you as a beanie guy,

but I can see it. It works. Really? It's growing on me. Especially with that chain around your neck. You look like someone that I'd bash the fuck out of on Grand Theft Auto. I know, you have $6 on me. Oh, Mitch, that's so nice. Thank you, buddy. He's not talking to me.

We're talking about Lone Clothing Co.'s very own Mitch. Oh, that's so sweet. You know, I've been thinking of buying a new jacket now and I don't need to. This is fucking amazing. Any other businesses that listen to the show? We now need some socks and shoes. I, now that I'm in my, oh, this song.

Can I say, shout out, if you're like me and you're heading into a new fit girl era and you need a new song to get you in the mood, Mitchell, this is perfect for you because you've lost your 10 kilos too. I said I wasn't talking about that. I know, but I am. I can talk about it. This is the song that I walk to every morning. So, it's the first song in my playlist. Close your eyes. Picture me. I've just had one piece

of bourbon with peanut butter and honey. Headphones on, Mitchell. This song Oh yeah, you said I need the headphones on. Yeah. This starts my hot girl era every morning. One step forward. Another one. Very slow walk. No, it's a warm up.

Ready? Wait for it. Who's this? Come on, this is good. Can I give you a recommendation? Yes, please. Go on YouTube and look up the lyric video so you can read it along. It's called I'm Good by Wafia.

Oh, you've got me onto that. Have I? Yeah, I love that song. Oh, well, fuck, I wanted to play it. No, I can play it. All right. You didn't even pass comment love that song. Oh, well, fuck. I wanted to play it. No, I can play it. All right. You didn't even pass comment on that song. You moved straight on.

I wasn't a fan. Oh, okay. Works for me. I'm happy for you, but yeah, I was just like, I don't like that. I'm in my pretty girl era. That's not for me. This is a great song. I was glad. I'm glad that you actually liked this when I recommended it.

Oh, yeah, this has been in my breakup playlist. Oh, good. Just because the chorus is bang on. Oh, yeah, go to the chorus. We'll get there. No, because you want to hear the pre-chorus. True. Ready?

It's a little bit like you've gone through a breakup, but you're coming out the other end, you know? Yes. Rising from the ashes. Yeah, you've seen the golden side. Yeah. Here we go. Ready?

Ready? Now I really don't care what you do Or who you do it with I really don't care I think I just quit I was bad, now I'm better I was sad, now I'm better Looking back, I know you and the girls Oh, this is bang on, this is so good for me I'm by myself, and that's better for my health

You know you'll put me through hell But whatever, I'm good I told you, when you sent me this, this is perfect. I wasn't sure if this song was too soon, because I sent it when you were in the pits, and I was like, he'll need this for later. Oh, no, it was not timed well at all. But I had it, and I've used it. This was also the song that we danced to

on the TikTok float for Mardi Gras. Oh! I didn't realise that. I don't know if I'd remember the choreography, to be honest. You know how I was talking last week about how I've become a bit of a crier? Yeah. There was one song that made me fucking cry the other day. So go on YouTube.

It's not even on iTunes. iTunes, what year is it? It's not on Spotify, Apple Music, whatever. It's only on YouTube. It's some little girl doing a fucking cover of a Beatles song. Kayla C, All My Loving.

Here we go. Can't see it. Isn't it nice? I'm not there yet, to be honest. Shut up. It's one guitar. Close your eyes Isn't it nice? I'm not there yet, to be honest. Shut up. It's one guitar. Close your eyes and I'll kiss you Tomorrow I'll miss you Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away, I'll ride home every day. And I'll send all my love to you. Oh. What? She's not getting the golden ticket. Oh. Jenna, is it a yes from you? No, Jenna buzzed her to... I didn't say anything.

Yeah, don't put words in Jenna's mouth. I put buzz in Jenna's mouth. Sorry. What did you actually think, Jenna? Silencing women again, Cherry. What do you think, Jenna? I think she has a beautiful voice. And is she going through?

She's going to go through, yes. I want to hear more from her. Michele, you're the... I turned my chair. Oh. I didn't realise we were on that show. Get rid of her. You know a song that made me cry?

I think she's woeful. You didn't think that was nice? I think that was the worst thing I've ever heard. What do you mean woeful? The worst thing you've ever heard. Oh, it's because it's about being in love. It's not right for you at the moment. I've had plenty of love. I don't need any more. It's supposed to be like vintage Barbie. Okay, this has made me cry. Ready, it's because it's about being in love. It's not right for you at the moment. I've had plenty of love.

I don't need any more. It's supposed to be like vintage Barbie. Okay, this has made me cry. Ready? I really wanted it to feel like how the old Barbie. This is from the soundtrack of Barbie. Billie Eilish released her song, This Makes Me Cry. Oh, my God.

And the music video is her going through all her old outfits that she was criticized for and their little Barbie outfits. Yeah, actually. And the music video is her going through all her old outfits that she was criticised for. Oh. And their little Barbie outfits. Yeah, actually, this is sad. Oh, my God. This came up on Shuffle the other day, along with that random fucking YouTube cover.

I just had it playing in the background, you know. And I thought this was Kate Miller high key. I was shocked when I found out it was fucking Billie Eilish. I cried in the car. And this part in the movie is sad as well. We get it. You've seen it. Yeah, I've seen Barbie.

Sad. Yeah, sad. Does that not sound like Kate Miller high key to you? It does. I think so. It reminds me of... Kind of. It's the last day on earth. to you? It does. I think so. It reminds me of. Kind of. It's the last.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Day on earth. In my name. All right, Jenna, give us your comprehensive review of Barbie Go, because people will want to know. Because by the time this comes out, it's just after opening weekend. I think I might be seeing it this weekend, so I'll have to give you my review next week.

I think I'm going this weekend too. The visuals are incredible. The storyline could have been better. Got it. I'll review next week. I think I'm going this weekend too. The visuals are incredible. The storyline could have been better. Got it. Yeah, I didn't expect it to be earth shattering. Exactly. I think it's just meant to be silly. Exactly.

But I definitely recommend it. A bit like our podcast. Yeah. Yeah, truly. That's why we must. And I want to see it again. It's good. Okay.

Yeah. And I love all the actors and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Great cast. Great visuals. I have to say, the visuals are incredible. Can't wait. Yeah. All right. Well, yeah. Great cast. Great visuals. I have to say, the visuals are incredible. Can't wait. Alright, well, shall we go?

Oh, if you want. Yeah, it's been a shock, a long episode. No more surprises for me. No more, sorry, no. There's none. There's none. There's none. But finally a birthday episode that we don't have to tell my therapist about. Why were you telling your therapist about it?

That was shocking. Oh, were you talking tell my therapist about. Why were you telling your therapist about it? That was shocking. Oh, were you talking to your therapist about the guilt? I won't tell you. I've signed confidentiality. What about the guilt about mine? I don't understand. I'm curious. What picture are you painting?

Why would you be talking to your therapist about last year? Nothing. No reason. Okay. No reason at all. How is your therapist now last year? Nothing. No reason. Okay. No reason at all. How is your therapist now? She's lovely. She's in London. I had to do a fucking e-therapy session. Oh, really? I don't think I'd enjoy that.

No, she's like, I did it at 10pm at night. Oh. You did? She was in London. Yeah, 10pm Sydney time. Oh, so she won't work around you? No. Well, she was asleep because of the time zones. So I had to log on and then she made me draw. She goes, why don't you draw what your ideal relationship looks like i'm like well do you want to explain what how that

will help me if she said that to me i'd be like i can't draw dylan there's no way i was like no i'm very i tried it was shocking she's like see what i see with this what did you draw? Tell me you kept it. No, it was on like some e-secure VPN website. Oh. Zoom link thing. Right. And she said, tell me what your past relationship was. Draw it and now draw the current, your future. Oh.

And she's like, yeah, this makes sense. I'm like, can you fucking elaborate, please? You could have drawn anything. Seriously. And she would have fucking loved it. And she did. And she charged me. Okay, let's go.

Have a great birthday on Tuesday. Thank you. Yes. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today, idiots. That's all, just 3%. So we do. See you in a week, everybody. Stay safe.
