This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello, you. Hello, you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. I'd rather be dead than be called Gunkle. Oh, that nickname for gay uncle.

Just because I'm gay doesn't mean you need to change the word. Imagine if they were like, God, he's put on weight. Funkle's here, you fat uncle. Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Live edition. I'm just going to put it out there and say this episode could go down as one of the more cooked ones we've ever done.

Yeah. Because Talk Back Tings Live is today, and there was a whole lot of complications making it happen. We don't have studio access. Yeah. Because Talk Back Tings Live is today and there was a whole lot of complications making it happen. We don't have studio access. No. And even if we did have studio access the phone line wasn't working so people couldn't call anyway. No, it would defeat the purpose of Talk Back Tings Live which is essentially our podcast as a Talk Back

radio show once annually. It's an annual event. This is the second annual event, correct? And I think the final. I think this is not going to be annual again. Possibly. Prizekeeper Jenna is here, keeping an eye on the comments because we are live on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. God, you've got a lot of tabs open.

Yes, I've got a lot of tabs open. Do you guys like the set-up? We're at Mitchell's house, so we're out of the studio. We're in the home studio. It's a very different energy, isn't it? Well, it's weird. You're also in the middle and I don't have control of the panel. Normally, I am the most important person on the show because I press all the buttons and the sound effects.

But Mitch is in charge today. We've got a mini panel, a mini setup. I've taken over the button pushing because I was like, you'll get overwhelmed. We've had to make this makeshift studio in my lounge room because we were determined to make this happen. Okay. And it's bloody happening. I even had to pop down to the convenience store and buy a fucking new SIM card so that we could take calls.

In fact, we've got a call right now. It said that it was coming from Fiji. Hello? Fiji. Hi. Hello. Hi. Who have we got there?

Hey, you've got Charles here. How are you? Charles. Hi, Charles. Are you in Fiji, Bulla? I am in Fiji right now, Bulla Bulla. What? Bulla Vinaka. Are you on holiday or, Bula? I am in Fiji right now. Bula Bula. Bula Vinaka.

Are you on holiday or do you live there? No, I'm just here for work at the moment. Oh, okay. Even though you're in the gorgeous island of Fiji, you're choosing to watch our live stream instead. I actually just did a taxi and I saw it on Instagram. I was like, oh, why not? Good boy.

Well, you're on, darling. Oh, we've got another call. See you, Charles. Bula Vinaka. Another call coming through're on, darling. Oh, we've got another call. See you, Charles. Another call coming through. Sorry, Charles. Don't drink the cava. Hello, Mitchell speaking. Hello. Who we got there? We've got Jennifer.

Hi, Jennifer. What's up? Where are you, Jen? I'm just watching your podcast on the train. I can hear the train sound in the background. Where are you heading, Jen? We're heading to the Powerhouse Museum. Oh, the Powerhouse Museum. That's very fun.

What for? Because I want to be a bit, you know, science-y, arts-y. Cultured, yeah. Be a bit cultured. Got to be nice. Well, we should say, Mitch, if you want to call us at any time, that is the point of this. Normally our podcast goes out, it's a recorded podcast, like every podcast is, but we're radio nerds, radio heads.

So this is the one yearly episode that is recorded live. So you could be listening to this in days, weeks, months, years to come, and it's not live for you. But at the moment of recording, it is live. And because I got the new SIM card, it's a brand new number. Cherry, would you like to tell us what the number is? Oh my God. Here we go.

All right. The number is to call us any time during this one-off special episode, 0422 948 202. Who says zero instead of O? Zero? Zero. It's 0422 948 202. Who have we got there? Hello.

Hey, it's Dustin from the Facebook group. Oh, you're calling from Canada, right? Yes, yeah, yeah. Saskatchewan, Canada. Saskatchewan. Oh, my God. Hello. And so you set an alarm to get up at what time to join our stream?

I was up about midnight or so. Oh, so oh my god wait what time is it now uh it's 1 30 1 30 in the morning so you're up listening and watching us dedication yeah yeah oh andrew we love you what's his name dustin sorry dustin i'm praising you so this is this is the other thing that people need to understand about us doing our makeshift studio. We don't have the luxury to vet calls. No. So if you want to come on, you're coming on basically.

There's no option for us to like double check that you're not some cooked person. We could even get prank calls. We could. And I actually implore the prank calls because for once I'm not in charge of the phone. So if I can go for it, I'll sit back and I'll enjoy watching Mitchell squirm. Have you got an, is it just me of your own, Dustin? I do. All right. Well, before we get into our bedrooms, we may as well hear yours. You ready to go?

Go for it, Andrew. Dustin. I know, I know. Is it just me or? Are you going to play me in? I just did, didn't I? Did you hear it? Oh, oh, no, I didn't. Oh, he mustn't be able to hear the sound effects. I've got so many gorgeous sound effects. Just pretend you heard Bradley's voice.

Okay. Well, is it just me or is a change in career really hard, but probably good in the long run? Oh, goodness. We're starting out very heavy. I agree, but it's a very hard decision to make, don't you think? Are you in the middle of that, Dustin? Is that what's happening in your life? Yes, yeah.

Yeah, I left a job of eight years and started something kind of totally new. Is it something completely different to what you normally do? There's a couple areas that kind of cross over, but mostly it's, yeah, something all new. Are you liking it? It's terrifying. And so I assume you might have been tempted to stick with the old job Just for safety You don't want to get out of your comfort zone

I get it Yes, yeah, yeah The comfort zone is something hard to get out of No, you know what? I back this It's a similar thing to a breakup Because everyone says to me Once you get over the sadness of the breakup

You'll be so grateful it happened And I'm getting little crumbs of Oh my god, this is great. Or, oh, my God, I wouldn't have done this if I hadn't have gone through the breakup. Or, oh, my God, I wouldn't have. And it's not even the breakup. It's change, like you're saying, Dustin.

When things in your life change and you have big moments of change, like eight years in one job is massive. So to then go to another job, your doors are going to open for you. So in six months, it'll be the best decision you ever made, I think. Well, thank you for the kind words. Yeah, good on you, darling. Thanks for calling. And, of course, thanks for getting up early as fuck to be part of the stream.

Very, very nice, Dustin. Yes, I'll be watching for a few more hours. Now, hang up on him, Mitchell. The problem with this is we can't say goodbye to everyone like they're our fucking neighbour. We can't be nice. But Dustin got up early. I felt the need.

I called him Andrew twice. I know. I mean, we can't be pleasant. Otherwise, this is going to be very boring for people listening. Anyway, Bradley has a dumb question. Yes. He goes, can we have the Tillys on the TV behind? Oh, we have got the Matildas behind us.

I know that a lot of people were worried about missing the Matildas game that we are competing with, so we've got the Matildas on. Don't worry. You can keep an eye on it. Don't worry. We thought about this. At the time of this live recording, we're watching Matildas in the background. So for people messaging us going, the Matildas are Matildas, it's on.

Don't worry. Yeah. What's the score? They're doing well at the moment. They're doing well. Yeah, good. Okay. Okay, we're going. Yeah, good. Okay. Okay, we're going to have another opportunity for you guys to do an Is It Just Me of your own.

Yeah. But we've got to do ours first, don't we? Oh, my God, we do. And, of course, if you want to call in and give your two cents on our Is It Just Me's, please feel free. Yes, of course. 0422 948 202. Oh, Mitchell. That's the wrong one.

I'm new to this. There we go. But it's automatic, isn't it? Yeah, you're right. I've set up Siri to recognise that number. No, that's the old number. Oh, so this is manual. Yeah, yeah.

We have to retrain this one. That's so annoying. I love that Jennifer once is prepared. She has her laptop. I know. She doesn't bring shit. Do you want to kick things off with yours or is it just me? Mine, yeah, I reckon.

Give us a little taste of what's yours, Mitchell. I actually am going to be demonstrating a bold fashion choice that I'm thinking of making. It's a big change for me and because we're live and people can see me, I want to get the feedback. Oh my god, okay. I should do my little preamble. If this is your first time listening, it's Is It Just Me? Every week we

start the show the same way. Something we've noticed. Something we hate or something we appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. We don't discuss them beforehand. We're going in dry and raw. I'll kick it off. Let's go. Is it just me or?

Are the dating apps especially terrifying at the moment? I wouldn't know. I'm not on them. I knew you were going to say this. I can't relate. I'm happily coupled. I don't know. I suppose if you're jumping I knew you were going to say this. I can't relate. I'm happily coupled. I don't know. I suppose if you're jumping on the dating apps now for the first time in years,

it would be a bit daunting. But honestly, I never took them that seriously. Well, that I think is going to have to be my mentality. For context, I'm not on the apps yet. Oh, you're not? No. You're too terrified. It's not that I'm terrified, but it feels like a big step.

It's an emotional step. Coming out of a five-year like loving relationship going on to apps and then like having to start from fresh start from scratch start fresh with random men is nauseating to me like there's also so many choices of apps yeah you've got hinge can you explain them in the difference grinder christian match plenty of fish i did get grinder but that's another story did you yeah yeah oh yeah didn't you say it was slim Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Grindr, Christian Match, Plenty of Fish. I did get Grindr, but that's another story for that one. Did you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Didn't you say it was Slim Pickens in the Shire? Well, yes, yes. I'm the only thing that isn't slim about that app. So I have that, but that's not a dating app, and I delete that. You know how you delete that for like a week and then you re-download on a weekend when you're sad in the morning? Yeah.

But I'm thinking of the Tinder, the Hinge, the Bumbles. I'm thinking they're the only options hinge the bumbles um i'm thinking they're the only options for me but i don't know if i'm there yet or i don't know because which you've dated then you've had part you haven't had a long-term partner but did you like going on the app so did that make you feel sad i just didn't take it that seriously i was like what have i got to lose it's a bit of fun and i find that tinder in my experience that's where people have a profile and they swipe just for the little, you know, ego boost. But no one really is on there to chat.

Yeah, okay. Whereas Hinge, I find everyone's there to chat. They're down for a conversation. We've got a call, actually. Should we put them on? Yeah, yeah, take it, yeah. Hello, who have we got there? Hello, me?

Yeah, hi. Hi. Oh, my God. My name's Annabelle. I love you so much. Hi, Annabelle. Have you got something to say about dating apps? I know. I have nothing to say. I just wanted to say that I've been trying to call. Sorry, my God. My name's Annabelle. I love you so much. Hi, Annabelle. Have you got something to say about dating apps? I know.

I have nothing to say. I just wanted to say that I've been trying to call. Sorry, Tana. Hello. Is it just me? Hello. Hello. Hello.

Who's this? Who? This is Stevie Marks. I have a major confession. Yeah. Okay. All righty. So, it's more advice as well.

So I've apparently got my second cousin pregnant. Oh, right. But the only thing is I'm shooting blanks. Right. You know this is a gay podcast, Stevie Nicks. This was the risk of not being able to vet the calls. What a fucking idiot. Yeah, so basically if I have to sum it up in a nutshell,

Grindr is for filth. They don't want to know your name. They just want to fuck. They want to get one away. I'm learning that. Tinder's kind of a middle ground. You could get a date or it's just a dtf it's actually the grinder for straight people wow okay good to know good to know and then hinge is like a bit more wholesome well here's my thing

i was having a conversation with a friend and she said hinge is the best one to start on then i was told that you can add voice notes to hinge yeah so i thought can you guys help me brainstorm something i can say now that we can rip and i can add to my voice profile? Well, there's a lot of different prompts you can choose from. Oh, so can you help me think of a prompt? No, no, no. The prompts are on the app. Yeah, but can we come up with it? Surely.

What are they? What's your favorite sushi? Like California roll. No, it'll say like my typical Sunday is and then you do a voice message. You give me some prompts. Okay. Just make some up as if you're a CEO of a dating app. One of them was my best celebrity impression.

That's what I did on my profile. And that's what won Shauna because I did a Julia Geerland impression. Oh, brilliant. Did you do the misogyny speech? I did. Brilliant. I did. I said, what did I say?

Fuck, which part of it? It was, I was offended when the leader of the opposition stood next to a sign that said, ditch the witch. Oh, brilliant. And he's into politics. so he fucking propped it. He is. Okay, so give me a prompt. Best celebrity impression.

Do I do a good celebrity impression? I don't know if impressions are your thing, to be honest. They're not. I can't succeed everywhere. They're not my thing. Jenna, what's a prompt for my dating profile? Something generic. There's things like, if I took you on a date, we would.

Hot girl walk. Oh, yeah, that could work. But it'd be a voice message., we would... Hot girl walk. Oh, yeah, that could work. But it'd be a voice message. Hot girl walk. Hot girl walk. Just say hot girl walk. I invented walking. Shit, okay.

I will say this, that Hinge is not just photos like Tinder. It rewards humour because some of the prompts aren't voice messages, they're written. Oh, so this dating app's built for me. Yeah, exactly. You can just write a witty reply. You will love it, actually. That's the only way I communicate.

I will help you set it up later, darling. I'm telling you, you will love it. I don't know if I'm there. I think I'm there. This is a right step. It's not dirty to go on the dating apps. No. And just set up the profile.

And if you don't like it, then don't use it. That's fine. I'm devastated if I were to see my ex on there. That would crush me. Wouldn't that crush you? Well, then maybe you're not ready. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, see my ex on there. That'd crush me. Wouldn't that crush you? Well, then maybe you're not ready. I don't know. Yeah.

I don't know. I mean, you can just swipe left and go about your day. Can you block people? Yeah. Of course you can. Oh, no, just block him. That's great. Oh, then crisis averted.

All right. I think I'll get on them soon. I think I will. Okay. I still have a blank profile. I can't wait. I'll help you set it up. My profile?

Yeah. Actually, you'd be a great friend to help choose photos. I don't care about the photos. It's all about the witty replies. Surely it's about the photos. Kate says, Mitch looking great after all your hot girl walks. Oh, thank you, Kate. There you go.

Hit Kate up. Kate, do you have a penis and a butt? Jared also says, love you, Jenna. So thank you, Jared. Love you too. Thanks, Jared. All right. Are you ready for my agem? Yeah let's go Let's go

Is it just me or Is it time for my nose ring era Oh my god You're just copying me because I'm in my ear piercing era Yeah you're going to have to take your headphones off To show everyone watching on the live stream Not to steal your thunder but I am a gay man In case you didn't know You're going to have to take your headphones off to show everyone watching on the live stream. Not to steal your thunder, but I am a gay man, in case you didn't know.

You're going to have to turn your head that way. There you go. You can sort of see it there. It really suits you. I think it does. I've got a little hoop in my right ear, which I did say to the salonist. He goes, what ear do you want it in? And I said, whatever one says, I want anal sex. That's your right ear, and I said, fantastic.

I will say, like Jenna said, it does suit you because it doesn't stand out. It's like, oh, fuck, you've got an earring. It actually just fits in quite naturally. Oh, thank you. That's nice. And so I've gotten. Yeah, Emily wants to know septum. Oh, my God.

Oh, like is that what cows have? Yes. No, just one thing, one start or whatever you call it in one of the nostrils. I'm not sure which one. Show me your nose. I've never looked at your nose shape. You've got such a, not a pointy nose, but such a structured nose. It is a little bit pointy, but it's all right.

And so I'm about to try on this fake nose ring that I bought. Wait, I didn't know you had a fake nose ring. I bought them just especially for this because anyone watching on the stream now can give us a call. Oh, four double two nine four eight two oh two. Correct. And tell me, does it work or not? Does this suit me?

Okay. Wow. Oh, there's a gold and a silver one. Nah, you're a gold. You've got gold features. You reckon? Yeah, I've got silver features. You've got gold features.

Emma says, yes, do it Coombs from a 32-year-old nose ring bitch. Oh, good girl. She hasn't even seen it yet. Can I see it, Mitch? Is it just a ring? Yeah. There's a little gap there and then it just sort of sits. All right, hold on. I'm putting it out. Would you do a ring or a stud? I see it, Mitch? Is it just a ring? Yeah. There's a little gap there and then it just sort of sits. All right, hold on.

I'm putting it out. Would you do a ring or a stud? I reckon a ring. I think go for a ring. Speaking of ring, give us a call, guys. Ow. Oh, God. Jenna can see it.

Turn to me. There we go. It's on. I can't see. Oh, yes, yes. Can I see? You like it? Why are we waiting?

I love it. Does it suit me? Okay, I'm going to get up close to the camera. Hang on. Why haven't you done this yet? I don't know. Put a call through and we'll I'm going to get up close to the camera. Hang on. Why haven't you done this yet? I don't know. Put a call through and we'll get their live opinion while you go to the camera. We'll talk to them.

Peter Murray says do it, Coombs. Who do we have on the phone there? Hello? Hi, it is Sian. Hi, Sian. Are you watching the live? What do you think of Mitchell's nose piercing? Look, I think that it's got to do it.

Just go for it. Oh, Sian thinks you've got to do it. You reckon? I agree. I had my nose pierced before. I don't anymore. I can't. I don't have a headphone.

What did she say? She's just talking about her experience. Keep going, Sian. And it was the best thing that I ever did. I loved it. I just had a very flat diamond stud and it was just so dainty, beautiful. It just kind of picked up in the sun, in the light. Do it.

You will love it. My concern is like blowing my nose. Oh. Yeah, that's hard at first but you get used to it. So after about the first week where like all your swelling and stuff goes down, it's fine. It does get like stuff does get stuck, obviously, because there's a bloody thing. I know.

But you just get a Q-tip with hot water and you're fine. That's what I'm doing. I'm doing I do like a salt spray in my ear morning and night. So the care is next level. And also, Mitch, mine is only a week old as of today. It's healed pretty well, a week in. It's healed pretty well. Yeah.

You were the one that inspired me. I was like, oh, well, if he's getting a piercing, I've always considered this so I'll just road test it with the fakie. Yeah, and I'm not the most vanilla safe person you know and I've got a piercing. Yeah, exactly. That's true. Everyone on Instagram and Facebook are saying do it.

Really? Yep. Don't go with the cheap shitty jewellery though because that will fuck your nose up. I've also just got this deep paranoia about accidentally ripping it off, like getting my nose caught on something. I've heard that about you. It happened.

It happened to me when I first got it done with my stud in my sleep on my pillow. And did you bleed? No. It just kind of fell like half out and you just shove it back in. You're fine. Wait, did it actually rip a line in your nose and come out? No, no, no. That's what I'm worried about happening.

Something actually like ripping the nose. No, no, that won't happen. The cartilage on your nose is too strong. Yeah, okay. Also, Mitch, if you want to take it out, just take it out. Yeah. Hello, who have we got there? We've got another caller who wants to give their two cents.

Oh, my God. Hi, guys. I'm God. Hi, guys. I'm Grace. Hi, Grace. Hey, so we're still on the nose ring thing, are we? Yes. Okay, so 13, I got my nose done. Wow, you've got edgy parents, Grace.

Wow. And I went to a private school. Shush. Oh, shit. I love Grace. But this is the thing. I had to take it out all the time, and I've had it redone about eight times. Oh, because of the school?

Yes, but as I've gotten older, I'm 28 now. So does it close up real quick if you leave it out? Yes. I once got a facial and within 45 minutes it had closed up. Just while you were getting the facial done? Yes. Oh, see, I don't like that. That's a big commitment.

But Mitch, even if you don't like it, you just rip it out. No, you pull it out. You don't rip it out. But that's what I'm paranoid about. I'm not going to be ripping anything. Thank you. Can you try the silver, please? Put one on one side, one on the other.

I can't have two nose rings at once. No, but just for the colouring. Monique wants you to get it done on the podcast. Monique, you can't have your cake and eat it too, mate. Is that even good podcast content? Just, ow! No, they don't use the gun anymore. Don't they?

The gun's out. No, I asked that. What do they do? Parent trap style? They use it with a needle. Oh, yeah, parent trap style. Do you remember that with the apple? Yes.

Oh, God, my mic stand's breaking. This makeshift studio's going really well so far. That's right. Oh, Benji ripped his out bad. Oh, Benji, I don't think I want to hear it. That's going to turn me off. Look at me, look at me. I can't have two nose rings at once.

That's ridiculous. You are definitely gold. Jenna, do you not think his features lend himself to gold? Hello, who have we got there from New Zealand? Hi, look, I'm one of your neighbours and I'm calling because I can't find my cat and I think he sneaked into your house. They're using that prank call app. Hilarious.

We introduced this prank call app. Don't you try to fuck with us. I know what's what. She was too excited to talk to us. All right, one more call. Hello, Mitchell speaking. Hello, Mitchell. It's Jack.

Hi, Jack. What's happening, bud? Look, I reckon you should go with a stud, personally. A stud? Why? You don't like the ring? No. Look, I can see your issue with a stud, personally. A stud? Why? You don't like the ring? No. Look, I can see your issue with it ripping out.

Yeah. And look, I think a stud, personally, would look better. Yeah, but it might just look like I've got a fucking zit. Yeah, true. That's what I'm talking about. You've got to get the right one. It's a lot to think about. I didn't go for a stud because, and I hate to be rude,

studs don't do it for me. It's very Adam Lambert. It's very Y2K. Studs are basic. I think rings are in at the moment. That's my humble opinion. Okay, and so you don't regret yours? No, I actually shopped around. I went to eight different salonists piercists to get

a ring because no one would pierce me with a ring. You're not allowed to pierce with a ring. Why? Is that frowned upon? No, it's like WH&S because rings spin and the bacteria gets infected really easily and a stud doesn't get infected easily. Hello, you've called. Is it just me? Well, hello, guys. How are we?

Fantastic. Get off speakerphone for God's sake. What's your name? What are you doing? I just made dinner. That's unfortunately why I am on my headphones. I'm so sorry, guys. That's all right.

What do you want to talk to us about? Well, I reckon that Mitchell should definitely get the piercing. It looks amazing. It makes him look tough. You reckon? Tough. All right. You didn't see him on the camera.

Yeah, so bad. To the, you know, to the… She's struggling to find the compliment. The fact that you can fix tires and all that sort of wonderful things that you can do. You reckon it makes me look more rugged, do you? Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely. Yeah, I also messaged earlier today with an itcham, if you'd like.

Oh. No, we haven't got time for that. Sorry, honey. Is it just me? Make sure you leave a review on your podcast app. If you don't, you're a little bitch. Ironically, we are right now doing the Is It Just You's. So I could have taken one from her, actually.

Have you hung up on her or is she still there? Nah, I hung up on her. Yeah, get rid of her. If you have an Is It Just You of your own, like Mitch and I have just done, 0422 948 202. Hey, hang on a minute. Hi, Sam. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. Very loud on Sam, don't you think?

Contraceptive diaphragm. Sam is back. He's not dead. He broke out of the institution. I'm dead inside and only. So I've got my own little phone off in the background here. I'll keep sending them over to you. Okay.

Look, I'm vetting a lot of these. Not great, but Joe from Liverpool has called through. Joe. Hello. Oh, is that you there, Joe? Hi, Joe. Hello. How are you guys?

All the better for hearing your voice, darling. Joe's had a protein smoothie. How are you, Joe? What do you want to chat about? I'm fantastic. I have an e-gym for you guys. I'm ready for be hearing your voice, darling. Joe's had a protein smoothie. How are you, Joe? What do you want to chat about? I'm fantastic. I have an e-gym for you guys. I'm ready for the sound effect. Is it just me or?

They can't hear the sound effects. Yeah, you can't. I'll do it myself. No worries. What the fuck's wrong with our phones? Anyway, I'm not going to waste your time. Look, is it just me or is anyone who owns an air fryer just a fuckwit?

I tend to agree with you. They make it their whole personality, don't they? You know, you can air fry avocados to make a really quick chip. Fuck off! First of all, I don't understand it unless you don't have an oven. It literally does exactly the same fucking thing an oven does.

Except you take your bench space and then people go, oh, it fries my food fucking thing an oven does, except it takes your bench space. And then people go, oh, it fires my food. A fucking oven does that. And then they go, it's easier to clean. This is because you're putting those dirty pieces of paper and pulling it out and not bothering to put it through the wash. I actually, I've seen air fryers in action and those that have them, you struggle to get them to shut the fuck up about it.

Like they love them. And I've nearly been converted a few times. And I'm like, oh, maybe I should. Because it just looks so easy. It is just an oven, though. You're right. It's literally a small oven. Yeah, that's it.

And that's my eating for the day. I think I've got my rage out. Thank you so much, boys. I love you. I want to take more of your time. No worries. I don't know how I'm going to bond about you. Love you.

Have a great night, guys. Thanks, Jo. I love you. Jenna, we, have a great night, guys. Thanks, Jo. I just love you. Jenna, we were at your house for the first time. Hello, you've called. Is it just me? Mitchell, I need to point something out, Mitchell. Hi, is it me?

No, shut her up. Mitchell, it's like you're on your own Insta Live. You're not talking to me or Jenna. You're just talking to the camera. Because I've got like 40 different phone calls coming through at once. Just, we need to take a breath. Why do I need to take a breath? Because you're not listening to anything we're saying.

Yeah, I did. No, we need to take a breath? Because you're not listening to anything we're saying. Yeah, I did. No. What were you saying? Goodness me. This is such a sensory experience. Yeah, Phoenix said he's getting annoyed by the constant things. As am I.

We can't stop that though, can we? No. No. Okay. All I was saying, do you have an air fryer? Yes. Of course Jenna is the annoying person that has an air fryer. But I've only used it twice.

Why is that? Because I bought it because it was on sale, so I thought I should have it, and then I tried it once and it didn't impress me that much. It takes up too much bench space. That's what Amanda said. I completely agree. All right, well, I'm glad we had that conversation. I just wanted to point out that Jenna is one of those annoying air fryer people.

No, absolutely. I could have picked it. All right, who have we got there now? Hello? Hi, this is me. Yeah, no, absolutely. I could have picked it. All right, who we got there now? Hello? Hi, this is me. Yes, hi. Hi, I actually do have an air fryer. Do you like it?

Yeah, it's fine. Fuck this beeping, honestly. You like it? It is just, it's fine. It takes up a lot of kitchen space. And so do you take offence to that, being told anyone who has an air fryer is a fuckwit? I mean, I can kind of see it because most people I know with one, they do make it their entire personality.

They do. They definitely do. But not you. No, I think it's fine. I mean, I don't do the cooking anyway, so maybe my husband's a fuckwit. Did you call to defend the air fryer's honor or do you have an idjim of your own? No, absolutely not. I don't care about the air fryer.

I have an idjim. Great. What's your name? Bea. Bea. All right. What's your name? Bea. Bea. All right. What is it, Bea? So my idjim is, is it just me or is the post-breakup glow underrated?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You can speak to that. I can definitely speak to that. But do you want to, yeah, what are your thoughts on it, Bea? I had you in mind, Cherry. Thank you. Because you reminded me of how common it is that

when you break up and you go through all the nastiness and then you go on your hot girl walk or you find a new hobby and you find out who you are and everyone starts commenting on it i feel like you're at that point now everyone's just saying you're glowing you're looking good and your confidence soars post breakup i think you're at point. And I think it's the best point to be at because you're just there for you. You're so right. And you no longer. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I actually sent Chiri a video earlier today, which was like December last year, one of our videos.

It was us in the studio. And I said to him, fuck, look how sad behind the eyes you look there. Yeah. Like I'm not focused on the hot girl walks and the the breakups uh the weight loss i should have said yeah you just had these sad fucking eyes and i was like yeah you've definitely had a glow up 110 oh totally and that's where i am now like you're so right i am the compliments are lovely but also i am spending so much more time in my own head and so much more time alone with my own thoughts but i'm feeling so much better about things still really in insane bouts

of loneness and and sadness yeah it's only been three four months but they're they're few and far between now and oh my god that's what i said to the very first caller on the show from canada like your big life changes are great because they make they make you shake up your life yeah i wouldn't have done so i wouldn't have met all these new people that I've met I wouldn't have made new friends um unless it happens so yeah there's always a bit of good in a very bad situation also I've changed my skincare I was about to say everyone's going the breakup glows great I'm like I'm just onto the clarins I'm using really expensive serums, guys. That's the truth. Moving on now. Give us a call right now. What is it, Mitchell?

0422 948 202. Because speaking of breakups, as you know, when one first goes through a breakup, when it's really fresh, all you tend to focus on is how great it was, how great the relationship was, all the wonderful things about it. You look through it through rose-coloured glasses, correct? Oh, fuck yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Your brain tricks you into thinking that the relationship was just those good moments. Yeah, and I think that's normal. However, what I wanted to ask you was now that you're a little bit further along the line, are you at a point where you're not just looking back at the good times and you're remembering some fucking annoying times? Because I want to take calls right now on annoying shit that your partner does. I've got heaps of examples. Oh, my God. I can imagine.

I have many and many that I cannot say. There are some annoying things that my ex did yeah i'd love to talk about but this is a live podcast and i want to get myself in trouble phoenix has said there's genuinely such a noticeable difference in churi's eyes and the way he talks about himself and life it's lovely oh my god thank you phoenix yeah bless you i know who that is they're very cute um so yes oh four double two22948202, what fucks you off about your partner? Or it doesn't have to be a partner. It could be an ex, a housemate.

Yeah. Anyone in your family. Basically, just the pettier the better because I'll give you my examples. Yeah. Even though I love Sean dearly, there's a couple of things that fuck me off, right? Beautiful Sean. We love Sean. Yes.

We love Sean. So, here's an example. If I were to, say, offer him a cup of tea or, you know, oh, do you want something for lunch? Yeah, very standard. He will say to me, oh, I'm probably okay. And I'm just like, those are two of the least reassuring words you could use, especially when you string them together.

Probably okay. Like there's still variables. You could still want it. reassuring words you could use, especially when you string them together. Probably okay. Yeah. Like there's still variables. You could still want it. Just give me a fucking yes or a no. There's no decision in that. No. That doesn't give you any direction.

Probably okay. Hi, ma'am. I'm here with the paramedics. You've been hit by the bus. Do you want us to surgically remove the metal from your spine? I'm probably okay. Because when he says probably okay, which I find so annoying, it sounds like you really do want the tea, though part of you wants it but you're depriving yourself just

fucking say yes he's so polite that yeah he doesn't want to put you out even though you've offered and he's actually putting you out by being so indecisive i know i'm like just fucking give me an answer mate truly god sean well you know what uh my ex did um he would often i mean as the understair storage saga we went through on the show not that long ago because, yes. When you were struggling to find a house. Correct, correct, because we were happily in love and struggling to find a house and then everything went to shit. He was obsessed with understair storage.

But he would drop things that were really hard to facilitate and organise as if they were nothing. Like he'd say, I want a loaf of bread. I'd love a cup of tea. I'd love a choccy. He would be like, God, I'd love to get – I'd love to have a double-story house. That's not something we can facilitate very quickly, you know. Like I'd love to get a hair transplant in Turkey.

I'm like, that's so hard to do. Was he just sort of daydreaming? Was he daydreaming or did he actually want you to fucking make something happen? No, no. He just didn't know that it actually took flights and accommodation and flights to Turkey and fucking surgery, you know? Like, oh, I'd love understair stories. That's all he wanted.

But then that ruled out so many different apartments where people were hunting. It's like that's actually a really big thing. One thing that also annoys me about Sean is that he's a bit of a – he's what I would describe as an I'll make do boyfriend. Oh, what do you mean? As in like there's so many little issues staring him in the face that could easily be solved,

but he just doesn't see the need to solve them. He's like, I'll make do. Like when we first got together, his wardrobe, you know the bar in the wardrobe that holds the actual coat hangers? Yeah. That had snapped off in his wardrobe and so we had a floor drobe on my side of the fucking bed so i'd have to do a huge lunge to get to my side of the bed because he had all these bloody clothes on the ground and like three to four

months in he's just like i'll make do it's fine and i'm like i've got to do something about this clearly i've got to step up and fix it so i came over with my fucking drill and i fixed the bloody pole and everything but he would have just gone years he did not it did not bother him at all he's like i'll make do it's fine oh that that annoys me that's like that's like fix your house it's you're living in squalor but for that one i'm like i get it he's overwhelmed he doesn't know how to use a drill but even little things that are so easy to solve like he has one phone charger for his iphone yeah and And he'll be like, oh, shit, I left it in the car. Oh, well.

Oh, no. I'll make do. Or he's like, oh, I left my charger in the office. Oh, well, I'll make do. No, but I defend him. I could order you a spare charger for every room in the fucking house on Amazon right now. They'll be here tomorrow.

And he goes, oh, I'm probably okay. I'm like, oh, for fuck's sake. You need to redirect that energy. No, but the thing there is he does make do. His phone is never dead. Huh? His phone is never dead. He does make do.

Oh, because he has to use mine because he left his at the office. He's still making do. I suppose so. But I'm like, there's a solution staring us in the face. Yeah, true. To his defence, his literal job is like working at the electorate office. People come in and have to get their problems solved by him. So maybe he's got a bit of solution fatigue.

But for me, I like to fucking fix little issues. You do. So I don't have to focus on my big issues. You're very good at it. You reckon? Yeah, but your big issues are getting bigger. All your friends are worried. No, 0422 948 202.

If you have a little thing that your partner does that annoys you, call us. Who have we got on the line now? Hello? Hey, it's Abby. Abby, what the fuck pisses you off about your partner? Is it partner or friend or something? He's my boyfriend.

Okay. Okay, thanks. So we were long distance for five months, I think, and he did this wonderful thing. Every time we were on the phone, he would just not talk. He would just go, mm, mm, and then be like dead silent for five minutes and then wonder why I got so fucked off, why I didn't talk. And he still does it when we're on the phone and we're living together now.

So. Mm. still does it when we're on the phone and we're living together now. So. Just like. It just fucks me off. Well, thanks so much, guys. It's so funny. It can't fuck you off that much. I was trying to irritate you. You were doing well. It irritates me when he does it. I was trying to irritate you. You were doing well.

He irritates me when he does it. You sound like a very patient woman, to be fair. Thank you. Have you brought it up with him? I have. He just brushes it off. He goes, oh, yeah, I think I do that with everybody. Is it like a quip?

Does he do it in the middle of lovemaking too? Some weird fetish? No. Oh, good. That would be concerning. All good praise for you to know you're doing it right. I feel bad, though, because I think I'm a bit of a nah on the phone. Sean calls me first thing in the morning and I'm barely awake

and I'm just there like, a lot of awkward pauses. I actually asked him, what's something about me that annoys you? And that was his answer. He goes, sometimes you just leave me hanging on the phone. And I'm like, yeah, I don't see that. Sean just needs to learn to fucking hang up. If you've got nothing to say to people, hang up. Is it just me on the fly or are people afraid to fucking hang up?

I'll have conversations with my mum and some of my friends that just go on forever. I'm like, we don't actually have to be discussing these topics. Hang on, we've got a phone call here hello who we got there hello who is it oh well that went well it was actually tim abbott knee worthless twin oh hi tim and it just failed so i'm sure what he had to say was fascinating try again tim if you want hi tim i'll call him back it's fine he had to say was fascinating. Try again, Tim, if you want. Hi, Tim. I'll call him back. It's fine. I had to buy credit for this SIM card.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Have we run out of credit? No, because we're not using credit. Oh. Yeah. Oh, but people that call us are using credit.

Yeah. Fuck. I haven't. I am, yeah. I'm spoiling all my credit on Tim. Guys, I've been through. Oh, well, you're through now, darling. Hello, Tim.

Oh, thank God. It's good to hear you both. I've been watching the live. I'm loving it. Have you? You're not watching the Matildas? No, I'm watching you guys. Far more important.

I would agree, yeah. Plus, we've got one in the background as well. Happening in the background. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, I forgot. Hold on. Look, all the girls are on now. Look, all the girls are on.

You're a scream. Now, I have something that ticks me off. Yeah, about the girls are on. You're a scream. Now, I have something that ticks me off. Yeah, about your boyfriend? Yeah, so he does little catchphrases when he either says goodbye or leaves the house. So when he

says goodbye to someone, he'll say, make good choices, don't get caught. That's funny. That's kind of cute at first, but I can imagine that would get annoying. Cute at first, and then when you've heard it about 700 times, you want to blow your brains out. And the other one is when leaving the house, you'll go, okay, phone, wallet, watch, and everything else is a bonus.

Oh, God. Are you dating a 55-year-old father of six? Yes. Correct. See, I kind of find that cute, but I absolutely agree. If Sean was doing that over and over again, I'd be like, fucking hell, man. No, I found it so cute for the first three weeks.

Yeah. After that, I was like, okay, I fucking get it. It's like you're dating Ned Flanders, all these pleasantries all over the place. Or like the Truman Show. You know how he would do that little speech? Good afternoon, good evening and good night. Yeah, very bad.

Yes, he was bad. Oh, yeah, I could not live with that. That would be painful. You have to break up with him. You've got no choice, Tim. You've got no choice. That's the only option. Has he ever told you something that he finds annoying about you?

He hasn't. I don't think he would have the nerve to, but I would be very fascinated. I'm sure I do plenty that would annoy him. Yeah. It sounds a lot like the dynamic in my relationship. I don't think he'd – I just specifically ask him, is there anything I do that's annoying? And it pained him to think of one.

Oh, yeah. I'm like, come on, hit me. Come on. That's an act, guys. That's an act. I know it's an act. I'm like, there's got to be something. He has things that would annoy you. Sorry, Tim. We're getting another call. See you, Tim. We love you. Bye, guys. That's an act. I know it's an act. I'm like, there's got to be something. He has things that would annoy you.

Sorry, Tim. We're getting another call. See you, Tim. We love you. Hello. Welcome to the show. Hi. How are you?

What's your name? Kate. Kate. What fucks you off about someone? Pardon? What fucks you off about someone? Is that why you're calling? I think I'm a little bit behind on the live.

It's live. It's live. It's called a live. You can't be behind. I think I'm a bit behind on the fucking world. That's not how it works. 9-11 just happened. It's not like we're TV. We're not on a three-hour delay for Perth.

It's not like that. She's still fucking shocked about the Ocean's Gate sub-subversible. She's like, that's happening at the moment? I'm starting to get really pissed off by the phone beeping as well. Well, do you want to swap seats? But there's no way to do anything about it. No, there's not. Hang on, we'll take one more call.

Is that right? We'll take one more call. Here we go. Hello, Mitchell speaking. Hi, Mitchell. It's Dakota. Hey, Dakota. Did you want to rant about something that pisses you off?

Yes. When my partner, his side of the bed, the sheet comes off and he doesn't put it back. Oh, my God. And then the whole sheet ends up coming off and then my side. Oh, my God. Mitchell. Oh, no.

He hung up on her. She was boring anyway. Mitchell. I'm so sorry, Dakota. I was trying to stop all the people from calling with all the beeping and I accidentally hung up on her. Mitchell, if you go to your settings, you can turn off call waiting. Can you?

Why the fuck have you sat on this information this whole time? I couldn't get in. I've had it since the start. Call waiting in phone. Got a phone. If you turn off your vibrate, then it doesn't vibrate. I can't hear Sam. Oh.

Now turn yourself off. That's all right. If you turn off vibrate,, then it doesn't vibrate. I can't hear Sam. Oh. Now turn yourself off. That's all right. If you turn off vibrate, then you'll also fix that problem. That desk noise. Jenna, worry out the comments. Fill some time while Mitchell does the texting. I need another sip of wine. Emmy goes, OMG, Sam's alive.

Yeah. Sam is alive. Yeah. We may as well acknowledge this while we're at it, by the way, because people were asking, where did Sam go? Where did Sam go? He left the job at the radio station, so he wasn't there in the office with us. I just want to acknowledge this while we're at it, by the way, because people were asking, where did Sam go? Where did Sam go? He left the job at the radio station,

so he wasn't there in the office with us. But it didn't feel right, you know, being like, yeah, he's left the podcast because I fucking knew you couldn't resist coming, crawling back at some stage and here you are. Yeah. I knew you'd still be floating around. We also needed you, Sam. Sam is brilliant at all this stuff. So good.

We couldn't be doing this today if it wasn't for Sam. Exactly. And also. That's this stuff. So good. He couldn't be doing this today if it wasn't for Sam. Exactly. And also his eyes lit up when I said we have to fabricate a home studio and he's like, fucking let's do it. How do I turn vibrate off? I sound like my mother. How do I turn vibrate off? How do I do it?

I don't really think it's that big of a deal. Nah. Nah. As long as call waiting's off, that was the pain in the fucking ass. Yeah. That was really annoying. It sounded like that was the pain in the fucking ass. Yeah. That was really annoying. It sounded like there was fucking Morse code coming through. It was not enjoyable.

Because we're so popular. Yeah, of course. There's so many calls coming through. All right. I've turned that off now. All right. Peter Murray goes, I'm munted already, guys. Really?

Yeah. Good on you, Pete. Hello. Who have we got there? Hello. This is Kaz. How are you? Hi, Kaz. Hello, who have we got there? Hello, this is Kaz. How are you? Hi, Kaz.

I'm all the better for hearing your voice, darling, without some fucking beeps over the top. Yeah, yeah, I was going to mention that, but given with all the other difficulties that you guys have had, I thought I'd let it go. Oh, trust me, darling, there was no need to mention it. I was fully fucking aware. It was doing my head in.

I thought you would be. It's okay. So was no need to mention it. I was fully fucking aware. It was doing my head in. I thought you would be. So I have an itch in. Oh, you do? Yes. So is it just me, but is doing half a job the most annoying thing that has ever been created? What do you mean? Half a job.

My husband walks around the house, oh, I've done the washing. I've done the dishes no he's put the washing on he hasn't actually hung it out or anything or he'll clean or he'll clean the bedroom and like you know unmake the bed but not actually put the sheets back on or anything like that and i bet he comes up to you like almost, almost asking for praise. Like, look what I did. Pat me on the back. Oh, yeah, 100%. 100%, mate.

It's like you live in my house. I've got to say, I put something online about this, you know, things that fuck you off about your partner or whatever it may be. And the majority of responses came from women. And it really, this is meant to be petty shit that doesn't actually affect you. Like, Sean saying the words, bloody, I'm probably petty shit that doesn't actually affect you like sean saying the words bloody i'm probably okay that doesn't really affect me it just annoys me but some of these that i got sent they are genuine issues like they have every right to be pissed off nicole said when my partner finishes the toilet paper he will leave the empty roll on the holder

and put the new roll on top of the bin yep yep, that happens. That's not petty. That's just men being useless. That's living in a house with men, darling. I know, right? Squeeze all that out. What about this one from Nat? My partner has to take a shit for 40 minutes as soon as he gets home. Every day. He goes to the bathroom with his phone while he marinades in the smell

of shit for 40 minutes. Jesus Christ. 40 minutes is a long time. He needs to check his bowels. That's rough. Isn't that interesting? We haven't had any men coming forward to bitch about their female partners. Well, would you like one?

I can put him on if you'd like. Oh, please do. What's his name? Sure. Cabernet Jim. There you go. Hello, boys and Jenna. Hello, mate.

How are you? Listen, it's open slather. You've just been reamed on the public record. What do you want to say about your missus? What does she do that annoys you? Oh, I don't know. Be honest. Well, just listen to you guys half the time when she's sleeping.

Oh, I love that. That's so sweet. and she's sleeping. Oh, I love that. That's so sweet. But in fairness, I do laugh at some of the stuff you talk about. Thank you. Yeah. Do you have a favourite, Mitch, of the two?

Oi. Well, I do follow Mr Coombs. Yeah. I don't follow you, Mitchell. That's all right. Well, now you can and we can make good from here. But I'm sorry to hear about your loss, not loss, but your breakup as well. I would have rather it was a loss, to be honest.

It would have been easier if it fell off a cliff. Thank you so much for that. That's all right. And I did see Coombs at the, what was that? The Canadian Club event. Oh. Yeah was that? The Canadian Club event. Oh. Yeah, I do love Canadian Club myself. Oh, right.

Did we bump into each other there? No, no. I'm in Brisbane, so no. Oh, you walked past. Oh, so you didn't see me at the event? No, I didn't. I didn't even go. I could have fucking sworn you said that we saw each other there.

Like photos? No. No, I watched the Instagram and my wife showed me the pictures. Oh, yeah, good. Yeah. And so are you not telling us anything that annoys you about your darling wife for fear of repercussions? Is that what happens?

As long as you cut it out, Mr Coombs. This is a live episode. This is live. I know it is. Go on, spit it out, Mr Coombs. What do you mean? This is a live episode. This is live. I know it is. Go on, spit it out. I dare you. Well, just, yeah, just... Sorry, tunnel.

Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. I mean, spit it out for God's sake. Goodness me. I'm just mucking around. We love everyone that's called through.

This is your last chance. We're about to wrap this shit up. So right now is your last chance to get your calls through. Mitchell, I'm not joking. This is one of the hardest episodes I've ever done. You are acting like you're in your kitchen doing a TikTok live. What do you mean? Like, if we listen back, it sounds like you're on an infomercial on Channel 7.

You're not talking to either of us. You're like, alrighty, you can call us now and let's go to a call. This is the quickest episode we've ever done. No, it's not. We've been going for over an hour. We're not. We've been 50 minutes. Yeah, but we're not done yet. I'm just saying, it's like you're on Den Oz Direct and you're trying to sell me a Nutribullet.

Eunice says Coombs is sassy tonight. I know. Goodness me. What's in that rose? And Ali says, Churi, you look so bored. I was. I can't even get a word in. What did you say that I apparently ignored?

I just said I spit it out for God's sake. Nothing. That whole conversation was just about the Canadian club event that he wasn't even at. I was so confused. That's why I asked and I said, were you there or not? I'm just saying there's a lot going on. Am I not giving you enough attention?

No, you're not. Am I giving the callers too much attention? Yeah, and you answer every call with, hello, Mitchell speaking, like no one else is here. I know, it's like it's a home phone. It is like it's a home phone. It is Mitchell speaking. It is true, actually. It is Mitchell's. Maybe one else is here. I know. It's like it's a home phone. It is like it's a home phone. Very good. It is Mitchell speaking. It is true.

Actually, it is Mitchell's. Maybe say Mitchell's speaking. Because I don't know who the fuck's on the other end. So I've got to be like, hello, Mitchell speaking. Listen, we're working with what we've got. We've normally got a broadcast studio, but today we've got a living room and an iPhone. Anything else you want to say? No, Jenna, any qualms with you?

No. No, none. Am I allowed to take a call now? Of course. Go for it. Sure. I'll let you answer it. Hello.

It's Mitchell Cheery. Hi. I was just wondering if I could get some hemorrhoid cream. Okay. Very funny. That was good. Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

I'm going to call it. Hello. Welcome to the show. Hello. Hi. Who is this? My name's Alex, how are you? Alex, we're good I've been on before

But I wanted to say hi Are you watching the live? I am What do you want to ask? I have, so you can pick between two options I have an idgim or I have a part of the piercing chat. Oh. I mean, I'll accept either or both.

Yeah, let's do both. Just start with your idjim, then we'll get the piercing chat. All right. Is it just me or does it piss you the fuck off when you're on a walk with your dog and you see someone whose dog has done a shit and they don't oh my god yeah i stood in dog poo i haven't stood in dog poo since i was a child and i stood in dog poo as an adult the other day and it really fucking gets my ghouly you should go for a walk at the park near my place

it's like got a lot of people with dogs off the leash it's like fucking hopscotch dodging that dog shit i can imagine my own sister does this shit she's like oh no gross i don't want to pick up poo and it's like pick up your poo so that other people don't have to see poo on the sidewalk i completely agree yesterday i went for a walk with my friend who has a dog and it did a shit and we didn't have poo bags so we stood on the road and waved at people asking if they have poo bags and eventually a man in the back of a car goes, I've got a Coles bag. So we pick it up with a Coles bag. Were people actually pulling over?

Yeah, multiple. Oh, wow. Yeah. We asked another girl with a dog. I've left a poo on the nature strip before and then come back later in my car to pick it up. Oh, because you could not have handled the guilt. I hate seeing poo on the sidewalk. Pick up your poo.

No, I agree with you completely. Even if there's like a diarrhea poo, you hose it down. Get some water or you get a bottle of Mount Franklin and you spray that thing. I mean, this whole dogs versus cats debate has been going on for fucking centuries. But I've just got to say, even though it's in my lounge room and it's sometimes not ideal when there's guests,

at least there's no guesswork. I know where she shits. I know where to clean it. You know what I'm saying? That's true. All right. Goodie, Jim. Now, what's your piercing take?

Yeah. So my piercing take is I am quite aggressively on the side of needles. So piercing guns. So piercing guns. So what happens is when people use piercing guns on an ear or anywhere else is that they cause quite a lot of trauma to not just the skin but the veins, the cartilage, whatever. So I think that everyone should just go to somewhere that uses needles because piercing guns are evil because they just like they destroy the skin that they touch like even if you go to like ufs and you get like a um a piercing gun thing on your lobe it's really it destroys everything it's like a blunt object going through the skin yeah when i got my ear pierced last week i walked

in and i felt like such a little bitch because I went to four hair house warehouses and four different 12-year-old girls. Like, I'll pierce you after I go to my shift at Macca's. I'm like, I don't feel confident. So then I ended up going to this dermal piercing place in Broadway in Sydney. And I walk in and they go, oh, what do you want, your nips, your clit? And I was like, no, thanks. I want my lobe. He's like, your arsehole lobe?

I'm like, no, just my ear lobe. He's like, oh, all right. We'll like no just my earlobe he's like oh all right walk in the park and then i said to him do you use the nail gun he went not if i want to keep my license so it's like if people know is that what you wanted though you were looking for someone that did do the gun no no i just i just was right i wanted to know um but i'm glad to a piercing studio i did i use needles because it like it's also less painful to get the needle. But what if I get someone who fucks about with the needle and they don't do like a swift stab?

They kind of draw out the process and I can, like, I just want it to be ripped off like a band-aid. Ali agrees. I agree with Alex on the piercing guns. Blunt force trauma. Also, a nose is thick skin. If you go to a qualified person who knows how to pierce with a needle, if you go to a proper piercing studio or a tattoo studio,

sometimes there's people there, and you get a proper needle for your skin. It's quick. I got my septum pierced about a year ago. I know that's a dumb question. That's the cow one that you were talking about. And also a lot of people were commenting that they want to see how you'd look with a septum. Can you put it in?

Oh, okay. Hang on. I keep forgetting that we're actually doing the visuals. Hi, everyone. Sorry about that. Oh, I don't know. I got a piercing. I got my septum pierced about a year ago at a proper piercing studio,

and it was about 30 seconds of ouch, but it was the least painful piercing I've ever got because they just used a needle and then they follow it up with a piercing and it's clean and it's sterile and it's not blunt force trauma and I just feel like people need to really know that piercing guns are really bad. This is impossible. Oh, Mitch is, oh, God, no. Here we go. I've got me septum.

How do we look? No, it's not for you. No, okay. You look like Avril Lavigne's sister Beverly. Do you look like, like what's your vibe? If you've got the septum piercing, I'm just picturing someone who's really way more groovy than me. I am a redhead.

I've got a short haircut, like I've got a men's haircut. I've got a nose piercing and a septum, but I don't have like it the normal i don't have like the normal septum piercing where people can like flip it up like the silver one with the open end i've got a high and tight which is like a small gold ring um and it's quite cute yeah cute i mean i always imagined the ring but it's a septum less is less high maintenance, is it? It was quite painful for the first two weeks trying to blow my nose. I was going to say, no way, you've got the time for that. It was just for the first two weeks, but now that it's like it's winter now and I do need to blow my nose more often because obviously you get sniffles,

but it's not painful now. Like I don't feel anything. The only thing is that like I have to clean it every now and then if I have, like, a cold or something because, you know, you do get some gross crusties. I don't know about that. I don't do discomfort. Oh, God, no. I've got to clean this out regularly and gunk pours out of it.

I do it every night with a cotton swab. It's quite horrific. Also, he goes to me, no swimming in indoor pools for 12 weeks. For all that swimming in indoor pools you do. I know. I was devastated beside myself. All right. Who have we got on the line now?

Hello? Hi. This is Rebecca. Oh, hi, Bex. Have you got any that just moved your own? Yes, I do. Oh, gorgeous. Hit us with it.

All right. Is it just me or is ironing absolutely overrated? Oh, my God. I agree. I haven't ironed in 15 years. I hate that. Really? I don't iron anything.

Do you have a dryer? Yes, I have a dryer. That's exactly right. I don't iron. Why? What's your take on this? Well, I've got two very busy boys and I quit ironing about four years ago and I haven't missed it since.

You haven't relapsed once? No. Wow. My mother-in-law is a bit mad at me for it, but who cares? Yeah, I used to literally iron everything. It would be like wash, dry, iron. And then I was just like, I need one less step in the fucking process and now I'll iron as I need.

You know, if I'm going out and I need to iron it. But there is nothing more stressful. We were talking about this like a week or two ago on the podcast yeah about when you're getting ready and you don't like a certain outfit so you're furiously trying on all these different options and then if i have to iron something and i'm already running late like it's so stressful it's fucking and can i be honest i don't know where you're at with this jenna and mitch but i don't i don't look at someone and go, God, that looks like a well-ironed shirt. No, I don't either. I do.

I fucking do. Really, I can't notice a well-ironed shirt. I can look at it and go, that looks brand new, but I never admire and compliment someone's ironing. Benji just said ironing just makes more crinkles, so it just scrunches. Well, if you fuck up ironing, it's hard. And what if you make it come and then it comes on

and then all of a sudden you wipe up ironing, it's hard. And what if you make it cum and then it comes on and then all of a sudden you wipe over it and then the cum stains are – it's like – Yeah, they leave weird marks on some of the seams. I don't like it. Oh, my God. And you put water in and you get that little measuring cup and you pour the water in and it stains. And you go, oh, it's just water but it always fucking stains.

Chloe uses a bit of fabric softener in water and spray it on. Oh, God, we can't go back to the laundry episode, guys. We did a whole fucking show on laundry hacks. Yeah, that was one of our best episodes ever. I loved it. Did I tell you that I used those little scented beads that you gave me? Oh, and a Ziploc. Yeah.

How was it, Anne? He gifted me a Ziploc bag with a couple of, what do you call them? Scent beads. Scent beads. Like he didn't even give me a full cup. It was a teaspoon at best. A heap of tea. Inflation.

I know. And yeah, no, it was gorgeous. Loved it. It makes the clothes smell so good. It did. Really good. Hayden got all the washing machine stuff in the split, so I don't have them anymore, so I stink.

Oh, so you handed the last beads that you had to me. Knowing that I didn't realise, we hadn't done our Excel spreadsheet at the time, so I should have given you the whole fucking task. I know. Knowing that that prick got it all. All right, who have we got on the line now? Hello.

Hi. Hey, guys. You've got Jess. How are you? Hi, Jess. We're pretty good. You sound chill. What did you call about?

I have like a bit of a hot tip for cheery. Okay, yeah. With the dating app. Oh, good. Yeah, I haven't been on the dating app for a little bit, but I do have a life ban on Tinder. What do you mean? What did you do to get a life ban on Tinder?

Oh, my God, were you filthy? Yeah, look, a little bit. I knew it. But these were the days before, like, OnlyFans was, like, really big and, like, everyone was doing that type of thing. So did you send nudes? Well, I said pay me via PayPal and see what happens. And people were sending money and then I would just send them a little surprise.

And I wouldn't tell them what it was. But wait, I didn't think you could send photos or videos on Tinder. No, I would like send it to, I'd get their Snapchat or like something and I'd send it that way. And then, yeah, someone got like send it to, I'd get their Snapchat or like something and send it that way. And then, yeah, someone got like cranky and reported me. Oh, you're a business woman, you're an entrepreneur. I'm so obsessed with you. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, you just made

an offer. They don't have to accept. That's amazing. Exactly. But I would say go, if you want to make like an actual person, it's probably not going to be too filthy. Maybe don't go to Tinder. don't like you yeah that's exactly it because i've got been on grinder and it is definitely filthy you know what happens to me on grind i've got a blank profile just because just at the moment i want a blank profile and um

i have it and people will message me and go pick but they don't even say fucking hi i know they go pick and i go hi how are you pick you go what's wrong they just want to see your gorgeous face anyway i send them a photo of my face with bodice included anyway they block me straight away that has happened i think a dozen times toifer says just get a new number i've tried that and uh that one got blocked too yeah they're pretty cluey they figure it out wow yeah so i'm just like not going to just do that anymore. So what's your hot tip? Just don't send cock pics.

Well, I don't own one of them. Or more pics. Yeah, probably don't do that. You don't own my cock pics. They go for a good price. Oh, how much? I've got PayPal. Yeah, I'll send you my PayPal ID.

No, maybe go like Hinge. That's what I was saying. Mitch is right. I think Hinge my pay ID. No, maybe go like Hinge. That's what I was saying. Mitch is right. I think Hinge is very me. If it's good, quick and fun and silly, then that is very much my energy. They're there for a chat. Yeah. Good.

You're not hustling on Hinge, are you? No, I actually met my partner on Hinge. That's why I can recommend that one. Beautiful. I love that. Yeah. All right. Well, well done.

Thank you for the tip. That's nice. Yeah, we're taking a few last calls before we wrap this thing up. It's definitely been over an hour now. But, I mean, I'm in no rush. No, I'm in no rush either. If you want to get on, this is one of our last calls. We'll take 0422 948 202.

Give us a buzz. If there's any internationals listening, give us a call. I'd love to chat to the internet. You can do plus 61 4 four two two nine four eight two oh two you've called is it just me what hi hi hi hello such a lovely greeting um i just wanted to add something to your piercing chat um i got my ears pierced when i was really young and i got a piercing gun and the earring quite literally ripped through my ear two weeks later. What do you mean, down the lobe? Yeah, like ripped my earlobe completely.

So I no longer have – I can't get my ears pierced because the tissue never fully healed. So do you have a scar down the lobe? Yeah, it looks like a bum cheek. Oh, you poor thing. Oh, no. Did you sue the fucking Hair House Warehouse? They were already closed down by the time. So was that the piercing gun's fault, was it?

Yeah, definitely. They pierced it too low. Oh, no. Wow. I'm just trying to picture that. Yeah, it was fucked. Well, how low is mine? Look at mine, Mitchell.

Is mine low? Nah, it's like dead center of the live. That's what he said. They would have done like down there. Oh, that makes me sick. And how old were they? Did it look like they had a fucking hungry jack shift afterwards? No, no, they were like old ladies.

Oh, that's shocking. I went, Mitchell, to a local greens chemist because I was looking to so many places and I walked up in Cronulla and I said, hi, I want to get my ear pierced. And she went, oh, well, we can't do it today because Merv isn't in. And I went, oh, well, what days can I get pierced? She went, well, you'll get Bev on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and then Merv's husband's ill, so only Wednesdays.

And I'm like, I didn't need any of this information, but thank you so much. I expected Merv to be a man. Merv's husband. Is Merv gay? Potentially, yeah. He's piercing, you know. Yeah, like honestly, it was against my mother's advice.

She was like, just wait a bit longer because I was only like 10 years old. So I've been left with this horrible fucking scar for years now. Scars are just a story worth telling. Imagine that being on your nose instead. Do it with a needle. Yeah, do it with a needle i beg of you is there a gay side on the nose because there's a gay side on the ear which the guy said people don't subscribe to but i said if i'm gonna attract anyone and if a man's looking

i want them to at least know so i'll go on the right side well i've asked a few times which one's the gay side and i never get a clear answer it's right is it yes because well i've got it in the right nostril. I just must have known. Because apparently left is right and right is wrong is what I was told. And wrong is meaning gay. That's what they used to say. Oh, that's.

Left is right and right is wrong. That's what I was told. I can't believe that to this day they're still using that to remember. I know, I know, I know. All right. 04-229-48202. Hello. Hello, Mitches. Who have we got? Oh, my God. This right, 0422948202. Hello. Hello, Mitches.

Who have we got? Oh, my God, this has been my Taylor Swift ticket. I've called you like 40 times. Oh, my God, you're through. This is Gemma from Melbourne. Hi, Gemma. Hi, Gemma. What did you want to say? I've got an itch-em, actually, that is relevant to both breakups and dogs.

Wow. There's a fine line between the two, I suppose. Where do the dogs – oh, the dog poo chat. Oh, yes, the dog poo chat that you had very briefly. Okay, yeah. Is it just me? But if your life is falling apart, you should just get a dog. Oh, don't tell me that because –

Don't tempt him. No, no, no. Now to say that is why I'm on here, Churi, to convince you to get a dog. First, you've got to move out and get your own place. You've got to move out of the shire. I will. I will. But I recently had a bit of a rough time where I was made redundant

for my work and probably should have saved the pennies. Yeah. But instead, it was also my birthday a few days after I was made redundant. So I said, stuff it, I'm getting a puppy. And? And she's absolutely gorgeous. I send her in the group chat that we've got when I'm drunk sometimes. I don't know why.

Oh, is it just me group chat? I do, yes. One that you're weirdly not allowed in. Yeah. They don't really reply to us in that group chat do they no like you think it was like if oprah walked out to the fucking audience on her talk show you they go crazy we write messages and they steamroll someone asks who who is he are you fucking kidding me um no we're not welcoming that group chat that we fucking created we're like god and Adam and Eve have gone

absolutely feral. Benji says don't do it, Churi. It makes you stay home too much. Enjoy yourself for a while. That's exactly what I was worried about. The dog, the dog, the dog. No, I'm telling you I don't want a dog yet. I want a dog and I want to call it fish. I think it's fucking horrible.

Why do you want to call it fish? Imagine a dumb little poodle called fish. I mean, it's just so stupid. I should have called Isabella giraffe. Yeah, but something that they're definitely not. Like Isabella is definitely not a giraffe. Absolutely not. Could be tiger, but close. What if I just called her like snow leopard,

even though she's a black snowy. Golden lion, temeron monkey. No, I'm not going to get a a dog i want to move out of home and live my little single era for a bit yes please hello who've we got there hi hello it's elise here how are yous yeah good elise what's happening good i'm going back to the something that ticks you off about your partner right yes what do you got so whenever my partner goes shopping i don't know how you guys do it but i usually shop aisle by aisle so start at the meat section work my way along yeah he will

start at the meat section for example get mince meat he'll then go to aisle three oh no get stuff for tacos go back to the meat section get another go to aisle 48, get something else to go for that meal, and then he goes back and forth like it's going out of fashion. No, I'm going to defend him there because, God, that's how I used to shop. Really? No, it shoots you at the wall. But you've got to teach him. Do you tell him, hey, babe, come on, chronological order, aisle by aisle.

When I send him in, I send him with a shopping list and I have, like stuff that we need for taco so lettuce tomatoes mints and i have it all in like blocks and he will still shop fucking everywhere then fucking divorce him what do you want us to say get rid of it i i feel bad for him because i'm i used to be a bit like that where if it sprung to my mind i'm like i've got to find it now i don't care where is. I'll do laps for 15 minutes until I find that thing on my mind. And then I think of something else and be like, where's the milk? Because, by the way, isn't it so inconsistent where the fucking milk section is? Oh, my God. Depending on where you're at.

And eggs. Yes, I agree with that. Sometimes they're like, who needs refrigeration? Eggs are at the front. And then sometimes they're like, it's in the fucking freezer. Yeah. I'm like, when do we, how do we, who is choosing this? Oh, you know what's interesting?

I was watching a TikTok that they're now putting healthy snacks at the checkout you know when you go to a get go to the checkout and it's always and you guys will be able to know it's always extra gum it's a mint patty yeah it's a freddo frog um and like a mars bar or like a barocco to go but now they're making them almond packs they're making them protein balls i've actually noticed that because i will sometimes grab a protein ball because I'm like, oh, I better. But I didn't clock that they've replaced Freddo Frogs and shit. Now, I used to be a mint patty boy. I used to get a $1 or a $0.99 mint patty and I used to slam it

on the way to the car. Bradley says the Woolworths app sorts it by aisle with each store design. Who has time for a fucking app when they're shopping? I am so stressed and the sensory overload. Yeah, well, that would be great, Brad, if there was fucking reception in Woolworths. Half the time you can't get reception.

Good point. The Coles that used to be where I used to live in my previous house had a map on the trolley. It was amazing. Oh, that is great. Yeah, it was probably like this big, the size of an iPhone, and it just had all the aisle numbers and then like five of the – it was like flour, bread, baking goods, and it was just brilliant.

And you could look down and you'd know it was amazing. Hang on. Oh, someone's calling. Sorry. No, don't say sorry. That's the point of the show. Hi. Welcome to the show.

Oh, hello. Who have we got there? What's your name? Hello. It's Kyle. Hey, Kyle. What's happening? So I'm calling

about the dating advice area and I've got a little bit of a confrontation for Mr. Cheery. Okay. We all know how much he loves confrontation. Many, many episodes ago he was very critical of Alright Hey for not messaging him back

on Tinder when they matched. No, it was the other way around. Other way around. Oh, well, Mr. Jury, you didn't respond to my messages when we matched many, many moons ago. Wait, wait, wait. This was when I was back on Tinder years ago? Yes.

Do you remember what you said? What was your message? I can't recall. It was like four years ago now. Did you know who i was or you've only realized since after i did and i was like he's gay and i was yeah critical that you were like spamming like fake at first oh you thought it was a fake account and then i'm so sorry i used you have a partner now no oh my god what's your? I don't know. Oh, well, if you're going to come and flirt with me,

at least get ready to fucking flirt. Where can I message you? Well, you've got my number now. Oh, that's very true. Oh, that's true. Are you still interested or do you just prefer a 23-year-old Mitch? No, no. Okay.

Can you imagine if this is actually how you met your next partner? What do you do for work? I'm a lawyer. Oh, fantastic. partner? What do you do for work? I'm a lawyer. Oh, fantastic. Holy fuck. Do you do media law? Can you work in media law? No, I do estate.

What's your star sign, Kyle? Scorpio. Is that good? Does anyone know shit about star signs? No, I'm a Libra. Contraceptive diaphragm. Sam, do you know anything about star signs? Yeah, but I missed it.

What are you again? Scorpio. Scorpio. Scorpio. By the way, your mic absolutely doesn't work, so you know anything about star science? Yeah, but I missed it. What are you again? Scorpio. Scorpio. Scorpio. By the way, your mic absolutely doesn't work, so you're just going to have to yell. Let me run it through me sources. Janet, can you Google Libra and Scorpio compatibility?

Kyle, what's your surname? Kind of a public platform image. Oh, yeah, that's very true. I'm sorry. They're moderately compatible and balance each other out. Passionate, bold Scorpio can't get enough of Libra's charming, outgoing personality. And Libra is instantly attracted to Scorpio's aura of mystery

and fearlessness. Definitely getting the mystery. I'm already getting the mystery too. So is that – what are the features in me that you think, oh, that's nice? I just think you're hilarious if I'm being fun. Very sweet. And then maybe about the physical, anything physically that gets you.

He's like, no. I want the earring. No, the earring. The earring. I told you. I want people to know I want anal sex. That's what I said to the man. And he vomited.

Thank you. Oh, it's working. Well, we're not there yet. Imagine if Carl was like, I'm actually straight. Fucking plot twist. That would be just my fucking luck. Kyle, have we spoken before? Have you messaged me?

Have we DM'd or anything? No, because I don't really use social media. Mystery. Oh, wow. And considering my last partner was heavily, chronically online and terribly, by the way, content never improved, but it really didn't. It plateaued and stayed low.

I like the mystery. I think that could be a really nice world for me to enter. It means that he's not trying to ride in your coattails. He's not leeching off. I hope he can ride, but we can discuss that later. No, but you know what I mean. He has no interest in followers and all that shit. Wow.

I cannot stand social media at all. Well, thanks for your support, asshole. All right, we'll talk. I've got your number now. I'll send you a message. This is nice. Do you have my consent? Do you mind if I send you a message on my personal phone?

No, that is fine. All right. It's encouraged. Deal. Done. You hang up, Carl. Okay. No, you're not meant to be that willing to fuck off.

Jesus. Just say, no, you hang up. No, you hang up. There's that Scorpio tale, though. It's like, yeah, fuck off, see ya. Nah, I want more. Sorry, tunnel boy. See ya. Wow, he sounded cute. I really like that. I'm into it yeah, fuck off, see ya. Nah, I want more. Sorry, tunnel boy. See ya.

Wow, he sounded cute. I really like that. I'm into it. I'm blushing a little. I'm fucking into it. At least there's Itch and Wedding. Yeah. Oh, my God.

I'm into it. Imagine if that happened. Sorry. Hello. Who's this? Hello. Hi, this is Aaron. I was just calling to talk about the things that tick you off about, like, a partner or an ex.

Yeah, go on. Well, i had this ex and when we started getting together he got very weird about me having other gay guys on social media so during that time he made me block every gay guy that was on facebook oh no if we ever saw if i ever talked or saw someone in public that I had slept with or anything, immediately, like, would get upset and argument. Even if you just walked past them and that's it? Yeah, if they were there and I said hi.

Oh, God. But I'm happily married now, so it all worked out. Married? Not with that man. Oh, no, definitely not. Good. I mean, that's just his insecurities that's absolutely ridiculous see that's again that's not a petty thing that doesn't affect you that is very valid that's a valid thing to be fucked off about i feel

oh yeah so it is like when we broke up like that clarity of like i blocked all these people for this one person like i literally had to sit down on my laptop and go through my friends list. Oh, my God. I think blocking is extreme. Did you go and unblock them eventually? A few of them, yeah, who I actually wanted to talk to. Yeah.

But, like, yeah, because I even had people, like, after we broke up, message me, like, hey, why did you block me? And then, yeah, I had them, like, say, like, oh, yeah, such and such made me and then yeah i didn't like say like oh yeah such and such made me block you because he didn't want me having like any contact with any of these people and it's just like one of those things that like after everything's done you're just like what was that yeah totally well you're out of it now logan says that my ex would do the exact same thing i think it's very common. Yeah, I am noticing that they're all exes, which is nice.

Well, that was lucky. My last relationship, I was really the only guy. Hayden was the only guy, so there was no one to block other than women. Oh, as in like you didn't have exes? No, I didn't have any exes. I wonder if that'll come up now. Interesting. Do you block your exes, Mitch?

No. I kind of want them to see what I'm up to. Interesting. Do you block your exes, Mitch? No. I kind of want them to see what I'm up to. Totally. You see, I blocked him and now I'm like, fuck, can't see the glow. Yeah, that's a good point. Do you want me to, I'll send him some. Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe. All right. Should we take one last call? Then we'll, one final one. Give out the number one more time. This is your last chance. Luck of the draw. Who wants to call?

This is actually the final call, 0422 948 202. It'll be speedy. You better have something good to say. We'll wait. This has been fun. I know. It's flown by. Jen, are there any final comments on the feed?

Is anyone shipping the love between me and Andrew? What was his name? They are quite a lot, actually. Kyle. Kyle. No, is it Kyle? Why is that your and Andrew? What was his name? They are quite a lot actually. Kyle. Kyle. No, is it Kyle? Why is that your default Andrew? You've said Andrew about like three people.

We were with our friend Andrew last night. Jess says, I'm shipping it. Bradley goes, someone's getting some tonight. Yay. Yeah. That'd be nice. Bit of a nudie. Hello.

Is not available. Of course, our final call is the voicemail. How can they call me and tell them they're not available? It's not even possible. Hello? Hello, it's Benji. Oh, hi. Hello, Benji.

What is it? No. Benji, are you calling off a phone line? Are you in a prison cell? Everyone says that. They're Sennheisers, but for some reason they don't work. Anyway, I just wanted to say far out now i've completely forgotten everything but my is when you're walking somewhere do you

completely like visualize everything around you like do you see pictures and when you're daydreaming do you see it is crazy i'm going Sorry, my words aren't making any sense. No, I know what you mean. When you're imagining things, you go on a little daydream during a walk, do you? Yeah, but like all the time. Even when you're like walking through the shops, instead of like noticing the people around you and stuff, you're just sort of in your daydream.

I haven't had that experience. Just you. Have you had any death cat mushrooms or meals cooked by a white woman in the middle of Victoria recently? I wouldn't say no. I love it. Anyway, I love daydreaming. It's great. Ali and Peter Murray are curious, is Benji high?

Yes. Okay. All right, let's end it on that note. Being high is the official theme of our second annual Talk Back Tings Live. What a success. It does feel, because we're sitting in a lounge room, like, you know, we're all cosy and relaxed, it does feel like that's the environment. Puff, puff, pass, mate.

I feel a bit high, to be perfectly honest. I think he needs to talk to a specialist. It felt like he was screaming through a megaphone down the phone line. Like, what was with that? I don't know. Anyway. Thanks for listening, everyone. And watching.

Have fun and watching. We should shout out contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, making all the lives happen. We love you, Sammy. Jump in and say hello, Sam, please. No, he's got a camera angle. He's on. He making all the lives happen. We love you, Sammy. Jump in and say hello, Sam, please. No, he's got a camera angle. He's on. He's got his own angle.

We love you, Sammy. All right, Sam was an absolute lifesaver making this happen. And, yeah, the beeping, we'll know for next year, won't we? Won't we, of course. Is it annual still? Are you happy to say that we're doing it again next year? Because this is actually your fucking fault. You're the one that said our first annual Talk Back Tings Live.

And I was like, we never discussed it being annual, but okay. I think, yeah, it's annual. Yeah, let's do it. Come on. It's a bit of a pain to do, but we can make it happen. Hopefully the studio works next year too. We're back in studio. But I quite like it here.

I like the vibe. You're right. Jenna, we didn't even order food. You didn't bring it up once. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I'm hungry.

It's too late now. It'll take too long. Because I knew that it was important to you for whatever reason that we eat during the live stream. I remembered your favourite choccy. My couple decker. Yay. From that top five chocolate bars that we did.

Yay. Oh, it's the best chocolate ever. And I spotted it at Woolies and I said, I've got to get that to shut Jenna up. Oh, my God. Yay. She's a fucking petulant child. Yes. Remember we tried them and it clogged our throat.

Can I have, I want a bite. Let me do a quick taste test. Oh, no, you're going to be mean. No, I'm not. I'll give you my real review. I'm in a calorie deficit as well, so this will be a meal for me. Oh, God. This was in the-

That was a great catch. Sorry. Thank you so much. Please don't eat it all. Shut up. She just said, please don't eat it all. Look, I'm going to deep throat this fucking British treat. And now out of spite, you should.

Now I will. Oh, God, you're right. It's so good. Oh, fucking hell. It was in the international section. It's yours. I don't want it. No, it's mine. Here you go, hell. It was in the international section. Can I try yours? I don't want it. No, it's mine.

Here you go, Jenna. Thank you. Here you go. See, remember it was really hard to swallow last time we did this on the podcast? It doesn't break down. It's so good. It's horrific, Jenna. Well, she has to get her molars onto it.

What do you call it? What's that stuff in a Mars bar? Nougat? Yes, that. It's too much of that. It's like a mix between a nougat, or whatever you said, and concrete. That's what it feels like. It is so sweet. Alright, let's go.

Thank you for listening. Hey, by the way, next week on the show, Hobby Hunt is returning with a vengeance. Not even returning, beginning. It's starting, true. It feels like. We've got a big couple of weeks ahead. We do. Remember how we were teasing a secret guest?

Yes. Are we allowed to talk about the secret guest? We fucking may as well. All right, announce it. There's no embargo required anymore. So would you like to do the honours or shall I? Our secret guest is none other than Australian icon, real housewife of Melbourne, Gina Liano.

Gina Liano. Gina Liano. I'm so excited because I'm not even joking. Friends of mine had said to me, you should try and get Gina on the podcast. And I was like, don't be ridiculous. It's not that easy. It's fucking Gina Liano. But then it managed to happen. It fell in our lap, didn't it?

Because she also has her own podcast now. We were a guest on her podcast. And then while we were in the studio with her we were like oi can we just steal a bit of your time for our podcast so we're doing a little crossover it's gonna be fun we're on judge gina mitch and i have a dispute we argue with with gina being the judge presiding and um one of us wins it's it's a brilliant episode so we're on hers she's on ours as well it's actually been quite a while since we recorded that and it was all under wraps. I can't even remember

the verdict. Who won that? Actually, no, we can't spoil it. I remember the verdict. Do you? And I will not elaborate. I remember the verdict. Okay. I remember the verdict. Well, that's still to come in the next couple of weeks, as well as Hobby Hunt. We've been out on the road filming bits and pieces. We have. Matilda's

over. Oh. Oh, the game on the road filming bits and pieces. We have. Matilda's over. Oh. Oh, the game's over. The game's done. Yeah. Oh, good on you girls. Good on them. Fuck, women in sport, huh? FIFA, barely know her. We will see you in a week. Thank you for listening and for watching. Love you all to our live viewers.

How fun. Catch you next year for another Talk Back Things Live, I guess. And next week for another episode. See ya. Love ya, bye. Right. If you think we're going to stay on this live stream for AD Debrief, think again. You're fucking wrong.

It's a secret for a reason. Yeah, we're going, guys. You're going to have to go listen to the episode to hear AD Debrief. Like, jokes aside, very, very thrilled that you all joined us, okay? Like, I can't see who's watching or how many people, but I'm like the fact that people have taken time out from the tillies to watch our rubbish means the world. But we had it on in the background. We had it on in the background, of course, of course.

And go the tillies, continue watching. That's so funny that it finished. Get off this live and then you can get ADD Brief exclusively on the podcast this weekend. Yeah, no, I mean even if you watch the whole thing, you've got to listen to the podcast for something, surely, no, I mean, even if you watch the whole thing, you've got to listen to the podcast for something, surely. Yeah, of course. Alright, end the live, goodbye. We should tease as if

ADD Brief is going to be explosive. Oh, it is. It's a must listen. What are you going to reveal? Well, Jenna's gender reveal is happening. We've just not known this whole time. She's finally chosen one. She's finally fallen. She has, she has. So that'll happen. Thank you, everybody. She's been trying for months. Alright, thanks Sam, we love you. Oh yes, has. She has. So that'll happen. Thank you, everybody. She's been trying for months.

All right. Thanks, Sam. We love you. Oh, yes. Thank you, contraceptive diaphragm Sam. Thank you, contraceptive diaphragm Sam. Say something in the mic. That's all right.

Well said. Welcome to ADD Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. I'm moving over to the couch. I was just about to fucking do that. That double deck was delicious. Well, you're welcome to. No, no, you take it.

I'm going to put my feet on your poof and your chair. That was successful. Yay. Thank God. This is like after a party when everyone goes and it's just like the key. The kick-ons. Yeah, the kick-ons and it's like, fuck, Nancy came. Oh, there's so many cords and shit.

I'm going to have to rearrange my lounge room back to the way it was. There's going to be so much. Jenna, you fucking demolished that double deck. Yes. Sam, do you want to sit here? No, I'll sit next to Jenna. Okay. Jenna, there's no reason that you can't order food, by the way, if you want to.

No, but I just had my double decker. Wait, do we have a mic for Sam? We don't, do we? Yeah, here. Hang on. I'll share yours. I can make that happen real quick if you want. We don't know.

That went really well. Did it? I forgot everything that happened. To be honest, same. But the calls were so sweet. Thank you for listening and calling through, guys. Yeah. Was it like, because again, I didn't have the stream open. Was it consistent?

There were people watching the whole time. I love that. Oh, bless you for tuning in. Thank you. On a night that is so sweet nice yeah god i like that it was very talkback like people were like yeah i'm just calling a comment on the nose piercing situation i've got feedback for mitch's relationship like it was very talkback radio very cute do you reckon there was a lag because i was like no one's calling about the relationship dating app advice at the time that we want it and then they came through later there might have was a lag? Because I was like, no one's calling about the relationship dating app advice at the time that we wanted. And then they came through later.

There might have been a lag. It's kind of like the delay that you get when you do radio. So it's like 30, 40 seconds. Oh, that explains it. We were getting calls. I know that you probably would have ascertained this from the fucking beeping. But we were getting calls the whole time. And I'm so sorry if we didn't get to you.

But, yeah, it was very intense. I thought it was great. Was it nice for you to not have to press the buttons? It was, but I feel like I'm learning that I'm a control freak. Oh, okay. Because I miss it. Oh, well, go on. There's some sound effects there to play with.

I couldn't be fucked. I was so comfortable sitting here. You look really comfortable. Thank you. Getting some praise was nice, the nice comments. You got praise about how good your nose piercing looked. I got praise. I met my new husband.

I just text him. I was going to say there was a point where I looked over and you were on your phone during one of the last calls and I was like, oh, he's already sliding into the fucking DMs, aren't you? He's left me on red. Well, you did the same thing to him on Tinder, so it's just vengeance. Eight years ago. Move on.

Eight years ago? Wow. Five years ago. Yeah, right. I'll see a photo. We'll go from there. Speaking of which, can I tell you that next week on the podcast, I need to open up about my own five-year breakup.

Oh. A breakup after five years. Oh, my God, yeah. It's been intense. Okay. I'm not going to say anything now. Oh. Well, no, I'm finally feeling your pain.

I'm like, I get it now. Oh, look. Was that a text? Yeah, that was a text. Oh, that was him, yeah. Oh, it's Kyle. I'm not really sure how to answer that. What did you say? What? I said, send me a photo of your cock. Oh, that was him, yeah. Oh, it's Kyle. I'm not really sure how to answer that. What did you say?

What? I said, send me a photo of your cock. Oh, no, I didn't. I said, okay, now we're going steady. Tell me about you. I want the basics. I just want him to sort of give me a how. I don't know how old he is.

Yeah. So, by the way, what happened was during the live stream, our TikTok dropped out because of some sort of sexual explicit content violation. Yeah. And I was like, that makes sense because you did say at one point, I want anal. Anal sex, I did, yes. Yeah.

Not just anal, anal sex. I stand by it. What's this fucking dumb breakup you've gone through? No, I'll save it for next week. You feel my pain, do you? I do. Because five years is a long time. Maybe are you feeling the loss of my ex because you were also friends with him?

No, that's not what it is. Do you have any emotions towards that? Oh, well, we bumped into him the other day. Fuck, we did. And it actually was nice to see him. You spoke to him for quite a while. Yeah, it was quite pleasant actually. And I was surprised that you were fine as well.

No, I cried that night. No, we went to Palms, a gay bar in Sydney afterwards, and you said to me, are you all right? You're doing fine. I'm like, yeah, I'm all right. And then as I was eating my chicken strips at Nando's, I'm like, now it's hitting. That person I shared my whole life with, lived with, slept with,

loved, cared for, I fucked, bumped into at a club and had to pretend I didn't know them was awful. It's actually awful. Were we supposed to pretend we didn't know him? I was like, hello, how are you? You guys were chatting, you know what happened, Jenna? What? We were at the drag race premiere, Mitch and I, and the drag queen performing, Emil, is

a friend of mine. So I'm like, oh, I'm'm gonna film emil but i just walked from the train station and you know how on iphone you can have multiple wallpapers and you can swipe through them if you force press so i'd walked from the train station very sweaty and rushed because i was late i get there emil's performing mitch is like emil's on i'm like shit so i go to pull my phone out to film and my torch has been switched on in my pocket because i was in a rush then mitch bumps me and goes look who just arrived and i go i turn it's hayden so i go oh shit so i turn to look at him i blast him in the face with my torch oh no and then who goes there i go yeah as i blast him in the eyes with a torch i look at my phone wallpaper and my phone has been changed to a photo of the two of us and i go oh so i like turn my phone i turn my

phone to hide it he sees it i flash him it was a whole mess oh my god and then i hug him go how are you because i'm all right oh no i went is he all right because he just saw me kissing him on my fucking wallpaper does he think it's a message like come back with me i've changed my mind i did see when you sort of opened your phone earlier that night that it was still the photo of you and him as your wallpaper. And I was like, oh, have I got to say something? Because I'm like, why is that still your wallpaper? But now that makes sense. You accidentally switched it.

Because I do that all the time. I accidentally switched my wallpaper to one of the old ones. I love that you didn't say anything. I was just like, oh, cheery. He needs to let go. That's tragic. You know what I did this week? Because we're

talking about money and stuff at the moment we're in no contact but we talk for cash boring stuff um i got rid of his name it was a lovely name in the contacts and i also removed his contact photo so it's just his name with a gray wow it's it's actually so awful awful nah it's what needs to happen yeah it needs to needs to happen. It does need to happen, but it's just awful. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. And so now what I'm saying is that I feel your pain because I've gone through something very similar.

Right. I can't wait to compare next week. I really want to know. What gender did you choose, by the way? Boy. Nice. Maybe that's why we dropped out on TikTok because it said sexual or gender-related violence.

That's what it said. Actually, I think because I was monitoring it and it was still or gender-related violence. That's what it said. Actually, I think because I was monitoring it and it was still on for most of it. Really? It was probably that. So right at the end when you joked that we're doing Jenna's gender reveal, we're doing Jenna reveal. Jen, Jen, Jen does gender.

Gender's reveal. What have we decided calling her gender? Pricekeeper gender's here. Well, Mitch decided calling her gender? Price Keeper gender's here. Well, Mitch and I got dinner last night and we were like, where did Jenna B Benson come from? I think I just made it up one day. You decided calling her Jenna B Benson and I said, what the fuck's your middle name?

Louise. It's so much funnier made up. Jenna B Benson. Jenna B Benson. Like I imagine that's how you answer your phone, Jenna B Benson up. Genevieve Benson. Genevieve Benson. Genevieve Benson. Like I imagine that's how you answer your phone. Genevieve Benson. Hey, Genevieve Benson. Genevieve Benson.

Genevieve Benson. It sounds like a solicitor. It also just sounds correct. I know. And it's not. Genevieve Benson. It sounds correct. I just made it up.

Sorry. I like it. That's fine. Oh, fuck. And how have you been contraceptive diaphragm, Sam? Yeah. I'm alright guys Yeah

I'm finally free from Working closely with you And honestly Well done No no no it's quite an achievement I feel very happy about it I feel you know renewed So you've moved on from working at the radio station

To working at TikTok So are you going to be able to talk to the right people and get my fucking live access restored? Because between – actually, it was just Mitchell Cheery's fault. It was either the anal or making fun of Jenna's gender reveal. One of the things got us banned. It wasn't me. Get it restored because that's the fucking third time I've been suspended

in the last three weeks. If you contact the email address and go to the website. You know, I got banned on Instagram Live for a week. What did you do? Because I do it when I'm on air on my radio show and I play music and I got a copyright strike.

Because I'm playing the music without paying for the copyright. It's a real miracle that we didn't get a flag for playing the Matildas in the background. Yeah. Odd. What a surprise. And that was so good of us. Yeah.

It was. Everyone was quite grateful to be able to keep an eye on the Matildas while we did the live stream. They did so well. Funnily enough, it wasn't in my calendar when we decided the date. Oh, the Matildas game is that night. We almost had to postpone. We had such fucking technical difficulties in our usual pod studio.

But we made it. We made it. We made it. We're here. And Jen is in a fucking Kathmandu puffer like she's about to get to Nepal base camp. It's because I've got the aircon set to Mitchell cheery temperature. Is that why I'm in such a good mood? Wait.

Cold. What do you mean Mitchell? Does everyone talk about this behind my back? Like, fuck, he's coming. Make sure the room is Antarctic. Yeah, even in summer I have to take a light jacket to the studio. That's not nice. That's just my optimal running temperature.

But what was the first thing you said when you entered my home? God, it's gorgeous in here. There's the air con on. Thank fuck. And you said, thank fuck you're not one of those people that doesn't use air con in winter. Yeah. I was like, oh, people with common sense.

Is that what you mean? No, no. You know when you go to people's homes in the middle of winter and their air con's not, they're too scared to put their air con on? No, but I was A, a bit stressed and B, knew that I was going to have a rosé. So I was like, I'll need the aircon too. I think I'm getting old because I had. You are.

I had what was left in a rosé bottle today. And that was the equivalent of like one and a bit glasses. It was probably more than a standard glass, but I had one glass. And I'm ready for fucking bed. It's not me for six, one rosé. I used to have like seven glasses on Instagram Live doing rosé and rant and I'd be fine. Totally.

Isn't it funny? In a home scenario, I get way more pissed than when I'm out. Like it takes me 20 vodka lime sodas to even feel it. But when I'm at home, I have one gin and tonic and I'm like stuck on the couch. I know. My nutritionist said that when it comes to alcohol, the best approach is don't drink A, at home, or B, alone. And I was like, shit, well, I was home tonight,

but I wasn't alone. So that sounds like a loophole to me. It's fine that I have my one heaped rose. Well, should we wrap this? I mean, it was a very long episode. It was. It was. And very fun. Very fun. Different energy in the living this? I mean, it was a very long episode. It was. And very fun. Very fun. Different energy in the living room and I quite like it.

I wouldn't mind doing this again. I like this. We've got all the bullshit to make it happen now. We've got everything it takes. Well, next time we all chat, everyone, we'll be in the studio, back to normal. Or will we? Or maybe we just give that all up.

I'd like to listen to this back and see if it has a polish on it. I'm worried it will sound a bit, you know, like when the maths contestants come off maths and they start a podcast and it sounds horrific. Oh, yeah. I mean, I've got carpet, but the place probably is a bit echoey, which does my head in, listening to podcasts with echoes. Well, Sam's been monitoring with his headphones on. He doesn't have any. It sounded fine. Yeah, no, it's good. No qual echoes. Well, Sam's been monitoring with his headphones on. He doesn't have any.

It sounded fine. Yeah, no qualms. No, it's fine. Good. Well, next time we'll have a mic for you, Sam. Thank you. All right. I'm literally leaning backwards.

Oh, God. No, he's going to fall. He's going to fall. That's a wrap on Talk Back Tings Live Season 2. Thanks for listening. Thanks for watching. Thanks for joining us. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. Thanks for listening. Thanks for watching. Thanks for joining us. We hope this podcast made you feel at

least 3% better today. That's all. So we do. Oh, Sam, you remembered your line. You'll get your money in the mail in three to four days. Yeah, like we said, big couple of weeks ahead on the podcast. We'll talk to you soon. See you next week.
