This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Do you want to know a crazy fact that I had a bio scan done at my gym this week? I've gone from 39% body fat to 24. When?

Um, last week. No, when did I ask? No, when did I ask? Yeah, I know! Now, here's Mitch Chie and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, yeah. Hello, you. Oh, it's good to be back in the studio.

I know. I've not been here for a month, I figured out. A month until we've been in the studio? Yeah. Oh, my God. Well, you've been here, but I haven't in the last month. And I should actually clear up some rumours because a couple of listeners of ours have messaged me and said, have you been blacklisted from KISS?

Is that why you haven't been in the studio? And I'm like, no, babes. To be fair, we were banned from Talkback Tings. That was true. That's what started it. We were banned from using the studio for our Talkback Tings live. Yeah, and then we were like, fuck, my lounge room's quite nice, isn't it? Isn't it a bit tragic that my lounge room sounds just as good as a multi-million dollar radio studio?

I know. Except there's not going to be a tabby cat shitting in the corner of this studio. Oh, well, the episode is still young. And Prizekeeper Jenna is here. That's true. Hello, Prizekeeper Jenna. Hello. How are you?

Good. You good? Yeah, good. You know, you've not once fucking ever said anything of merit when we ask you how you are, ever. No, I have. I'm good. But there's never a story. You never tell a story.

That is true, actually. Like, if we say, what's new? She'll go, nothing much. Every week. Yeah, that's true. There's nothing much. I'm good. Same old.

Same old, same old. You know that we've got like a whole podcast to fill up every week. If there's ever anything interesting in your life, any stories you want to share, let us know. We'll put aside time, you know. Yeah, I'll let you know. Why don't we do it today? Why don't you think something up? Just think of an answer to how are you?

We will allocate the second half of the show to you. Actually, we should do that because we've got Hobby Hunt coming up, but we can bump what we've got after that for, what should we call it? Jenna's story time. Yeah, beautiful. No, is there something better than that? Jory time.

Jory time. Yeah, okay. I think we can get something out of you. Yeah, actually, just what's something fun that happened this week? Actually, you fucking had so many lifetimes. You've got so many stories up your sleeve, surely. That's such a good point. You've lived lives like 10 times longer than Mitch and I.

15. You're 15. I could make up a story about your life and it would be entertaining. No, don't make it up. I actually want to hear something from Jenna's life. Okay. Is that too much pressure to say, give us a story? No, I'll think of something from my current life.

Okay. Yeah, this life. Let me have a think. If you need to like duck out of the studio and just mull it over for a bit, that's fine. No, I can just do it in the studio while you're talking. You can think about it. Okay. She'll have known out.

I'll just disassociate while I think of a story. Yeah, yeah. So are we actually doing this? Jenna's story time? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, I think we can do a better name than that. What's like an olden day way of saying story? Like what are they?

Oh, like a fable. Jenna's fable. What does fable mean? Fable's like an olden day way of saying story? Like what are they? Oh, like a fable. Jenna's fable. What does fable mean? Fable's like an old, it's like a myth almost, right? A fable. Oh, I Googled it and a fucking video game comes up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

A fable. A short story typically with animals as characters. Oh, that's perfect for you. That's me. Goodness me. All right. Jenna's fable. Yes. Fable time. Sounds like. That's me. Goodness me. All right, Jenna's fable. Yes.

Fable time. Sounds like a children's book, fable time. Jenna's, The Chronicles of Jenna. Yeah, that works. Oh, that's nice. Yes, yes. The lion, the bitch and the wardrobe. All right, well, Jenna's fable time, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, let's do fable time. All you need to do is think of an answer to someone saying, what did you do this week? No, don't limit it to this week. I don't care if it's from when she was fucking 10 years old catching the school bus in Dubbo. Yeah, that's a really good point. Jenna, because you actually, this is a good social test for you. It's really good to

just have stories ready to rattle off. I reckon she does. She just doesn't say them on this podcast. She saves them for the bloody what is it? Two Girls Three Fingers doesn't say them on this podcast. She saves them for the bloody, what is it? Two girls, three cats. New episodes coming out this week. Fabulous. I saw you went to the Cat Expo.

Yeah, the Cat Lovers Festival. A lot of fun. I met Didger, the celebrity cat. Thanks for that. Thanks a lot. We would have loved it. No problem. Media passes.

They're big in the pussy department. You got a media pass to the cat show? Yeah. You got a media pass? Yeah, they invited me. What other celebrities of note were there? Oh, Catman 2. Who?

Catman 2 and Didger. Catman 2. So Catman 2 owns Didger and Didger's an adventure cat who skateboards and stuff. Wow. Yeah, so he taught us how to click a train and how to handshake cats. This is all very interesting. I hope your fable's better than that. Better fucking be.

Yeah, it will be. Mitch, if I were to say to you, just tell me a story from your life. Do you have a couple ready to go, like a Rolodex in your head? It's actually hard when you put me on the spot. I know. See, it is. You're right. But I've got time.

Yeah, you've got time to mull it over. Yeah. Yeah, okay. All right. Well, we'll do that later in the show. We do also have a hobby hunt, like Mitch said. Yes. The second edition of our hobby hunt.

We've done bar class. Today was a pottery class. Oh, and I will say pottery was my idea. I wanted to do pottery. Yeah. And I think I did all right. You'll hear it. We recorded the whole thing.

There'll be a video up on socials by the time this is out. We were surprisingly competitive. Oh, yeah, but we are naturally competitive. It was also very sensual. I got very horned up. Yeah, no, you're going to have to find that music from Ghost. Oh, what, but we are natural anyway. It was also very sensual. I got very horned up. Yeah, no, you're going to have to find that music from Ghost. Oh, what has it got? Is it Unchained Melody?

Unchained. No. No? It goes, oh, my love. Yeah, that's it. I meant for later, but this is fine. Wait, could we have gone... Nope, doesn't work. No, not really.

No, it doesn't work at all. All right, I've got that for later. It's on the wall, guys. How are you, Mitchell? Are you good? Just do the first time listening shit, please. I'm in a rush today. Okay, sorry, Jenna.

He's in a rush. Mitch texted me on Monday and was like, can we record early this week? I was like, what's going on? Why? He could allocate me all the 15 minutes earlier than normal, by the way, because it would be chewing into his dumb bitch walk time. No, it's hot girl walk. Hot girl walk, yes.

Listen, we're here and we're on a tight schedule because Mitch has the premiere of Wicked. Yes, which is a big deal for me. I'm so jealous. I know. I'm a very big fan of the musical Wicked. I was obsessed with it. And so being invited to the premiere is a big fucking deal. I've got to get home from the studio in time to doll myself up.

What are you wearing? You'll just have to wait and see. Are you going to be Elphaba? Come on, tell us. No, I'm not greening myself up. Don't worry. I'm not doing green face. Oh, Glinda.

Who are you taking? Sean. Oh, gorgeous. Oh, that's cute, date. Less questions, more hosting the podcast, please. I don't have time to fuck about today. If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show the same way, too.

Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's. That's correct. You can hit this up. I have one of your own. We'll feature it in Is It Just You later in the show. That's new.

I'm adding extra words and I'm in trouble. Should I jump in? Mine is just a continuation of my slut era, or as Bradley would say, my... Fuck! ...era. Yeah, no, go on. Should I jump in?

Okay, sure. Is it just me or...? Is a slut era very hard to facilitate when you're still living at home with your mum and dad? I told you this was going to be a problem. It doesn't work! I was wondering how this is working out for you. It's not hard to facilitate when you're still living at home with your mum and dad. I told you this was going to be a problem. It doesn't work. I was wondering how this is working out for you. It's not, Jenna.

It's not working. Okay? What's happened? Jesus Christ. Oh, no. And this is not a new person. This is one of the 37 boys that I was discussing last week that I've got on my payroll. 37?

That is my favourite number, actually. That is a good number. It's a nice number. I'm embellishing. But it's not a new person. It's one of the guys that I've been talking to is a good number. It's a nice number. I'm embellishing. But it's not a new person. It's one of the guys that I've been talking to. He's lovely. He's very nice.

How do they feel being described as one of the guys? It's a joke. Because they're all listeners, apparently. It's a joke. No, this one isn't a listener, which is lovely and refreshing. Well, he's obviously stupid. Yeah, of course. And has no taste.

No sense of humour. It won't go anywhere. So here's the thing. So we went on a date. It was lovely um very sweet the date actually was horrific in the end what happened well because i was wearing shapewear um and we were hooking up we were kissing and we're a bit tipsy and we're on like a boardwalk at the beach and then we went to kiss and he like went down to grab you know like when you're in the

moment oh and you had the shapewear tucked all the way down he went down to like grab me and he was like his hand kind of like me and he was like, his hand kind of like slipped and he was like, what the fuck is going on down there? I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm wearing shapewear. I'm wearing skims. He's like, what's skims? I'm like, oh, fuck, you're 21, of course.

You don't know what skims are. I'm like, do you know who Kim Kardashian is? He's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, well, she created a brand because she's really successful. She's a billionaire, you know. He's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, because I had to like pull my skims to the side. And then like-

Was this all at your parents' house? No, this was at the beach. So in public. Yeah. That's alright, isn't it? During daylight? Night time. That's fine. I was going to say, groping people at a beach in Cronulla. Do you want to get bashed? More than groping.

Riots 2.0. Gay edition. So that happened and obviously we couldn't do too much because it's in the public. So I went, why don't you come over next week? I've got a free house Wednesday. Come over and you can come over and we can play Mario Kart. And he's like, oh, I love Mario Kart. I'm like, great, we'll play Mario Kart.

You know, kind of wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Peach and Bowser sort of thing. Here's Peach and Bowser. One thing leads to the other. Yeah. I mean, you know, that's one way of saying I want to do this to you. You're Peach, I'm Bowser, you know. You're picking up what I'm putting down.

I mean, those characters only do one thing. I'll have a flick of your joystick. Exactly my point. Let me just go down your green fucking wormhole. You know those green little plugs? Oh, yeah. That Mario goes in? The pipes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was me wanting to do that. Anyway, so I'm like, come over. He goes, great. What time? I'm like, let's say midday. I'll go to the gym. My endorphins will be rushed.

Great. All my family, dad's at work, mum's at work, sister's at work, free house. Fantastic. I go to bed. I wake up at 10 a.m. because I work nights and I go, oh, I'm going to go to the gym. But first I'll go upstairs and have my coffee. I walk upstairs and the first thing I see is my father sitting at his desk. He goes, morning, mate.

How are you? I'm working from home today. You want to get some lunch? And I was like, fucking hell, this ruins my whole plan. Yeah. So I didn't know what to do. I was like, do I? But you've got your own quarters at that house.

Is it possible to sneak him in the backyard to bypass the front door? Well, sneaking through the back door was always my plan. But I more mean, no, it's not possible because dad's office faces the front of the house. Oh. With big windows. So he big windows and the computer faces. He would have seen me walk out. He would have seen this guy come through. It wouldn't have worked.

So I thought, it's my dad. He's an ex-football player. He's had his, you know, he's sown his wild oats. I'm going to level with the man. So he might respect the hustle. Yes. He'd be proud of his slutty son. Yes.

Wasn't he quite encouraging of you not to rush into a relationship? He was like, mate, sew your wild oats, you know. They were his words. Yeah, I remember that. He said, sew your wild oats. Wow. So I went, get the knitting needle out and get me some Uncle Toby's. I'm going to do just that.

So I sit Dad down. I go to the gym and I go, can you pick me up from the gym? Because it's a nice conversation. So he picks me up from the gym and he goes, what do you want to do? You want to get some food? I went, oh, actually, Dad, can you pick me up from the gym? Because it's a nice conversation. So he picks me up from the gym and he goes, what do you want to do? You want to get some food? I went, oh, actually, Dad, I had a friend coming over. And he's like, oh, right, nice. Yeah, we'll bring her over.

Like he just thought it was like a girlfriend because all my friends are girls. And I was like, no, it's actually a guy that I've been on one date with and I was going to invite him over because we were going to just sort of hang out in my bedroom. Oh. And he was like, oh, mate, does he have a beautiful heart? Is he a nice man? Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, fucking hell, man.

What is his attachment style, mate? Very that. I was like, no, Dad, no, this is purely just a bit of fun. It's not a relationship. He's like, right, right, okay, okay. Why don't you book a room in the ridges down at Cronulla? Well, like one of those daybed things where you just use it for two hours. Like a cabana.

Like a hotel room. Why? And I said, no, I want to use the house. Can you fuck off? And then you'd have to pack up the fucking Nintendo. Oh, no. And the HDMI cord. I'd have to go in the bag and the power.

I went, no. Can you go get lunch somewhere? And he went, oh, my son is asking me to leave the house so he can get a room. A chip off the old block. He loved it. And he said, yeah, mate, so he can get a root. A chip off the old block. He loved it. And he said, yeah, mate, I'll go get a sandwich on me. He went, but we won't tell your mum. And I went, oh, this is great.

That's actually cute. That's cute. Although I feel like this story is going somewhere because I don't think your dad seems like the type to actually not insert himself. He'd stage a run in and be like, oh, nice to meet you, mate. Well, that's what I was worried about. So anyway, dad goes and gets the sandwich i tell this guy come over we're all good we'll play mario kart comes over very sweet kissing you hi how are you um want to come down we'll play mario kart it's in my room it's on my bed ka-ching of course it is yeah so we're playing

it's fun it's very flirty and then he was like well why don't we play if you win every time you win i'll make out with you and i was like like, yeah, this is great. This is fun. So we play the first round. He wins. I go, oh, you know. First time. First time. Seven rounds later.

Seven? I haven't won one single race. I thought you were a gamer. I am a gamer. Oh, clearly this twink is too. So then I get a text from my dad that says, hi, mate, walking back now. Oh, no. And I go, one more game.

One more game, please, one more game. I don't talk to this guy the whole time as I'm finger bashing the controller, not the sentence I thought I'd be saying. You've never been more focused in your life, I can imagine. Sweating from the brow playing. But also I feel like something like that is kind of cute to start with. Like, oh, if you win, I'll make out with you. Like that's a fun little bit to start with.

But then surely after three times he'd just do something cute like, oh, fuck it, I can't resist. This motherfucker actually held out for seven rounds. Yes, or lose on purpose. So in the final round I'm like, wouldn't it be cute if you lost? He's like, no, I'm committed to winning. And he won. And then I went, well, my dad's arriving.

He went, let's go get lunch. So we went and got lunch. And then I still had blue balls to this fucking moment. Oh, no. So did he at any point run into your father? No. That surprises me. Yeah, like ships in the night.

Wow. But also it's not that relationship. It's just a bit of fun. Yeah, no, I get it. I get it. But was it a bit of fun? Doesn't sound like it. Well, no, it was a fun, nice moment, but there was nothing.

A bit stressful, though. Extremely stressful, Jenna. My cortisol level's through the roof. I can imagine. You've already done enough to earn the pass. You've invited him over. You've charmed the fuck out of him. Thank you.

He's making you work for it. And it's second date. You think, oh, by third date, you want to. I don't think that counts as a date. That wasn't a date? I reckon that's more like a hangout. Is there a difference? I don't know. I'm not a slut. I don't know more like a hangout. Is there a difference? I don't know.

I'm not a slut. I don't know how things work these days. Thanks a lot. I don't know. You tell me. Well, listen, guys, it's hard out there being a modern day slut. When are you moving out? Right.

I've been on domain every day looking. Okay. It's coming. It's coming. You gave me full permission when you moved back in with your parents to start nagging you around October. Did I? Yeah. It's like September now. You've got until the end of the your parents to start nagging you around October. Did I? Yeah, it's like September now.

You've got until the end of the month before I start nagging. I've got a month. Well, it's my birthday on the 30th, so that'll be a nice sort of birthday bash. Let's shape up and get out. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right.

Anyway, anyone want to practice Mario Kart with me? I need to get better. There's no rewards if you win, just quiet. All right. You want to do your regimen? Yeah I need to get better. There's no rewards if you win, just quietly. All right. You want to do your regimen? Yeah, I'm ready. Here we go. Is it just me or?

Did new suburbs make you feel a little bit sick? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, my God. It depends on what suburbs you mean, but go on. Well, I was driving out to Windsor recently to visit my nan. You know the one that I called on the podcast? Yeah, bless her. She's so cute.

I was really nervous to ask her to lunch. Well, I was going out to lunch again the other day and I drove through. I swear every time I drive out there, there's a new fucking suburb. I know. Yeah. And there was this brand new one. I think it's been around for, it's new, but it might have been around for a year or two. It's called Marsden Park.

Yeah. And I just felt so uncomfortable because all the houses are so close together. Yeah. And I was like, oh, it makes me sick. I can't even look at it. Do you also find that they look very similar, all the houses? Yes. If you look at it from above, they're all black roofs.

Can you go on Google Maps, type in Marsden Park, and just drop a pin to a random street for Street View and tell me that that doesn't make you uncomfortable as fuck. Marsden Park? Yes. And is it one of those places that just has homes? Like there's no land, it's just like a million homes? Yeah, and like a brand spanking new Woolies, something like that. Yeah, there's a BWS. Always the same.

All right, Marsden Park. And probably a man-made lake or something. Jesus Christ. Look at it. That's it. Oh, that's actually quite frightening. That's the first photo that comes up on Google. It makes me so uncomfortable.

It's just. They're all the same. You know what it looks like? That opening scene in Harry Potter when Poofwig is flying through the sky and you see all the tops of the houses and they all look identical. It just made me so uneasy because I've had this real issue lately with feeling claustrophobic in general just living in Sydney because, as you know, when I was 18 living on the farm,

all I craved was hustle and bustle. And now I've gone full circle where I'm like, it's too much. It's too much. I want to live in a hut in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden. And so when I drove past Marsden Park, I was like, oh my God. It makes me so uncomfortable. They've got their own Ikea. They've got their own Costco.

Jesus Christ. All in this tiny suburb. Yeah. And look how like that photo from above really sums it up. It's like so dense. You know what it is? It's that liminal space meme. Have you seen the liminal?

Have you heard of the liminal space trend? No. It's like, I've Googled it. Liminal space refers to the place a person is during a transitional period. You know when you have a dream and it's kind of like you don't know where you are, but it looks familiar, but you can't quite place it? Yeah. That's what a liminal space is.

Look at all these photos. I feel like I've been to this suburb a million times over, but I could never exactly pinpoint why or where. Are you talking about Marsden Park? Yes. Because it looks the same as every other new suburb a million times over, but I could never exactly pinpoint why or where. Are you talking about Marsden Park? Yes. Because it looks the same as every other new suburb. Have you seen that news story about the family in Western Sydney, I think, who they've got this massive block of land, huge backyard, huge front yard, and they just refuse to sell

it. And so when you look from above, it just stands out because all these houses have been built so close together around their block of land just google like sydney real estate refuses to sell or something i think it might have been in like the hills and you'll see this photo and i just like full respect to them they've got all these cluttered houses around them and then theirs is the only one that hasn't had a million properties built in it. It's like the movie Up. That's exactly what happens. Oh, look at that. Oh, my God. They are my fucking heroes.

I love them. Is that real? Yes. $50 million it's worth. Yeah, they've been. See, look at their house and their huge front and backyard and how many houses they could fit there. But they just refused despite being offered, what, $50 million?

Yeah. Look at it. Up to 50 houses can be built there. That is so good. I fucking love them. I would die for them. Oh, my God. It's so brilliant.

No, they could make more than 50 because do the maths. Look at the one row, two row, three, four, five, six rows of houses. They could probably fit five. And they sell those each for, what, $2 million, $3 million? No, it said before that it could fit 50. So 50 at $2 million a pop. Wow. Jeez, that's $100 million. It said that it's in the pond. So any at $2 million a pop. Wow. Jeez, that's $100 million.

It said that it's in the ponds. So any idiots listening right now that want to see this photo, you really must look. Just Google, like, the ponds real estate refuses to sell. And Mitchell, do you know what's next to Marston Park? What? The fucking ponds. Oh, it's the same area.

It is. Oh, my God. Can you see it on Google Maps? Oh, let's go. Let's go. Put it on satellite instead of the map. Oh, yeah. And you'll see that house standing out on Google.

Oh, okay. There it is. There, that's it. There it is. Hold on, hold on. You can see it from fucking space. I love these people. I don't know who they are, but they're my fucking heroes.

I would do the same thing. That's the longest fucking driveway in the world. I'm not compromising my personal space ever. I love them. That's incredible. I mean, it wouldn't kill them to fucking landscape. That's a lot fucking driveway in the world I'm not compromising my personal space ever I love them That's incredible I mean it wouldn't kill them to fucking landscape That's a lot of free space Get a fence or something

It's very the castle They refuse to sell it It's the vibe So petty They'd be the worst neighbours in the world No they'd be the best They're like no bullshit This is our land

God I can't even have two neighbours Let alone having 80 different neighbours On both sides of your property Imagine that. Like this driveway, just to paint a picture for our idiots listening, the driveway on this huge block of land is so long that they would drive past like four or five houses just to get out of the driveway. Oh, I'd say more. Or their neighbours stooping in.

God, yeah. God, that's absolutely iconic. I love them. They wouldn't have to do any groceries. You know how like the olden days you'd knock on the neighbour's door and go, do you got a cup of sugar? I'd just go by every house. Do you got a loaf of bread? Sorry, don't have one. Do you got any eggs? Sorry, don't have one. Hey, you got any coffee? Don't have to do any groceries. You know how like the olden days you'd knock on the neighbour's door and go, do you got a cup of sugar? I'd just go by every house. Do you got a loaf of bread?

Sorry, don't have one. Do you got any eggs? Sorry, don't have one. Hey, you got any coffee? Don't have any. You know what happened when I was in Bogengate? That whole anecdote about neighbours popping over for a cup of sugar. Yeah.

Something similar happened, but it was one of the neighbours cooking a beef stew. And she goes, hi, Mitchell, can I borrow a cup of your father's red wine goon? I was like, be my guest, babe. I love it. That's so cute. That's adorable. I was like, be my guest, babes. I love it. That's so cute. That's adorable. I'm certainly not drinking that shit. No, no, no, rightly so.

Is it just me? That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? Yes, it's your chance now. If you'd like to be on the show, DM us on the couple of Mitch's Insta. You can text us too, Mitch. Isn't that right? On the IJM hotline.

That's right. Let's see if I can do it without looking at the number. Yeah. If I've learnt the new number off by heart. 0422. Fuck. 948202. Well done.

There we go. You can get in touch and you'll win yourself a nice little prize. Jessica joins us from South Gippsland this week. Hello, Jessica. Welcome to the show. Gippsland. Hi. What did I say?

I think it's Gippsland. Gippsland. Sorry. Gippsland. Jess joins us from Tipsyland. She's an alcoholic. Hello, Jess. Hi, Jess.

Hi. So you're from Gippsland, huh? That sounds lovely. It is. It's a bit cold, but we're having a lovely day here today. Is it South Victoria, like South, South Melbourne? Yeah, we're right down the bottom. I was literally just saying on the podcast that I'm finding Sydney a bit cluttered.

How regional is Gippsland? I might be packing up and moving your way. We're quite regional. So we're in like an agricultural area where I am. So there's not much around at all. So the local town, we're on acreage, but the local town only has about population of 2,000. Oh, that might be a bit too small.

And how far is it from the city in Melbourne? Two and a half hours. See, that's ideal. Yeah, that's not bad. I'm guessing they don't have Uber Eats there. Definitely not. We don't have Uber anything. See, that's my main criteria is somewhere that's close-ish to the city

so that if Taylor Swift's doing a concert, I can travel. But also I want Uber Eats. Mitch, you should look at the south coast of Sydney. You could be a Wollongong boy even. Fuck that. It's got the city. Okay, all right, all right. I've got my heart set on Ballarat, to be honest.

I didn't know if I was allowed to talk about it. Jenna, Mitch has mentioned it on many occasions when we're out or just together. I haven't told Sean my truth. No, no. He keeps dropping hints of wanting to leave the city. Ballarat's beautiful. I probably won't do it. It's near Sovereign Hill.

I don't think you're going to do it. What the fuck's going to happen if it comes midnight and I go, shit, I could go a pad thai? You're fucked, actually, yeah. Anyway, sorry, Jess. You've got an Is It Just Me of your own ready to go, don't you? I do, yeah. All right, Jessie, hit us.

You've got an Is It Just Me of your own ready to go, don't you? I do, yes. All right, Jessie, hit us. Is it just me or? Are some flavours of toothpaste fucking disgusting? Oh, God, yes. Yes. Well, I feel like there's a uniform flavour.

It's mint. I swear, sometimes you buy one and it says on it peppermint and you've got menthol. Yeah. Yeah, I've done that. I like ones that have a real eclipse mint-like feeling where it leaves your mouth feeling really fucking minty. Yeah, you want to feel like you've just been to the dentist, right? Totally.

Yes, exactly. But then the piece of shit really weak ones, like the Colgate Total, that's like a rotten tic-tac. That's no good. And anything that has the blue gel in it, nah. Oh, my God, no. You know, my childhood toothpaste was, it was in a cylinder, and it had like that weird cap on top.

It was a pump, yes, and with my hair gel, as you know. It looked like hair gel. And it had the three colours. It was white, red, and blue. I remember that. I had that too. And the mint in that was sensational, probably full of fluoride and was destroying my mouth.

However, the flavour was good. The dispensing was good. It was such a treat. I miss it. Yeah, you don't wantide and was destroying my mouth. However, the flavour was good. The dispensing was good. It was such a treat. I miss it. Yeah, you don't want something that's good for you. You want something that brings you joy. Yeah. Oh, my God, I can hear kids in the background, Jess.

Have they got, like, the little toothpaste with Dory the Explorer on the tube to make it more fun and appealing? No shit. I just bought frozen toothpaste. Frozen! Does it have little sparkles in it? I'm sure. I'm going to open it. It'll be, like, purple just bought frozen toothpaste. Oh shit! Does it have little sparkles in it? I'm sure. I'm going to open it. It'll be like purple with glitter.

Yeah. That can't be good. It's probably full of sugar and does more harm than good, but fuck it. It's a bit of fun. Probably fun. Fucking airplane jelly. You know, I look at it. It's making them brush their teeth.

When I was a kid, I had a toons brush. I can't remember what it was called. I had one of them too. Tooth toons. Yeah. Toons. Toons't remember what it was called. I had one of them too. Tooth toons. Yeah, toons. Toons brush, whatever it was called. And you'd play and it would play for the amount of time that the dentists would recommend you brush for.

So I had a two-minute hook of my humps by the Black Eyed Peas. I really wanted one of those, but I was raised in a drought. I would have loved a toon paste, but, you know, poor farmers, what can you do? Well, your mum would have been a right cow about, you know, poor farmers, what can you do? Well, your mum would have been a right cow about running the water then when you're brushing your teeth in the middle of a drought. Fortunately, she didn't have to nag me too much because I just never brushed my teeth like the real grot that I was. Anyway, thanks for that, Jess.

I completely agree. No worries. Let us know how the frozen toothpaste goes. Is it nearby? I actually want to know if you class it as something that tastes foul. Wait. Oh, hang on. I can. I've if you class it as something that tastes foul. Wait. Oh, hang on. I can.

I've got a baby in one arm. Go do it now. Can you get a baby in one arm? Or maybe just drop the baby. Which way? Just throw her on the ground. She's fine. No, she's right. It's South Gippsland.

It's not like there's a three-hour drive to the hospital or anything. The baby would be just fine. That sounded like the baby was just dropped. Yeah, straight on her head. Where's the toothpaste? Sorry, I've got to ask the four-year-old where the toothpaste is. It's all right. Okay, so it is called Oral-B Kid.

Yep. Mild mint flavour. Mild? Like it's a beef korma. See, that's what I hate, the mild mint. So do I. Would you like a review from the four-year-old? Go for it.

Oh, yes. So it's white with sparkles. Would you like a review from the four-year-old? Go for it. Oh, yes. So it's white with sparkles. Do you want to taste it? What flavor is it? Good? No. Okay, she just gagged. Hope you kept the docket, Jess.

Yeah. That was a literal gag. That's so funny. All right, Jess, thank you for the live review. That was fantastic. Don't forget to DM Gemma on our Instagram. Who are you again?

Alright, thank you so much, Jess. God bless you. Enjoy South Gippsland. You know what's funny? This is complete serendipity. High Smile, a teeth whitening company and a toothpaste company, sent me their new vanilla flavoured toothpaste. And it's in my bag. Did it look like you needed it?

Maybe. They saw my Insta story. They sent it to me as well. Did they? Yeah. Vanilla toothpaste? We have to try it. It was in my bag and I just thought I'm going to open it.

I got a watermelon one. Nah, I hate watermelon flavoured anything. Well, I'm going to open it. Vanilla is my absolute favourite flavour in the world. So I think we all have to have a little taste of it. Sean got me some vanilla incest when he was in Europe. You know the incest sticks that you burn? Yeah.

How is it? How's the incest? It just smells like vanilla, really. It's quite nice. I mean, if you're going to have incest, you don't want it to be vanilla. You're like, fuck me in the ass for Christ's sake. I don't want missionary. You're my fucking sister. Okay, here we go. It's got a pump on it. I'm going to pump some vanilla high smoke. Oh, that looks like cream. I'll just smell it. It's got a pump on it. I'm going to pump some vanilla high smell. Oh, that looks like cream.

I'll just smell it. I don't want to taste it. No, come on. How is it? That's fucking delicious. Really? Oh, yeah. Ew.

It's minty, Jenna, and vanillary. Oh, my God, I love that. No, it's like sunscreen or moisturizer that you've accidentally put on your lip and then licked your lip thing on. Yeah. Oh, God, that tastes like a lip balm. Are we done with this? I've got to get to Wicked.

Yeah, sorry. Jenna, quickly, what's your review? Sunscreeny. Okay. Told you. Fuck you both. Thanks, I Smile, for the product. Okay, are we ready for the second instalment of our Hobby Hunt series?

Yes. Unfortunately, you weren't sold on our first instalment. I tried to convince you to join one of my bar classes because I love them. I can't get enough. I thought it was going to be like a candy bar making class. It was definitely the opposite. Or getting your RSA, a bar class.

Yeah, definitely. Or just like, you know, had monkey bars all day. Yeah, but it's interesting. This time we were both trying something brand new. First time it was me introducing you to something I love, but this was something new to both of us. It was a pottery class. Yes, and it's something that I've wanted to do for a very,

very long time. Very excited. So shall we roll the second edition of? Yeah, let's get into it. Great. Hobby hunt. Got a tiger bow. Hobby hunt. Great. Wow.

I forget how awful that was. That was beautiful. Really terrible. The pottery was really fun. Like, when we got there, the three of us were there, and the studio, the vibes were immaculate, wouldn't you say? We went along to Silky Shapes Studio in Crow's Nest, which is North Sydney. And Yagana was there. She was great.

She was absolutely gorgeous. God, she was just at one with that clay. She really was. She was just an extension of that dirty, dirty mud. The thing about pottery, though, is, and I think maybe we'll hear this, it was so meditative. Like I felt truly like because your foot is on a pedal as if you're driving, your hands are on the clay, your brain is looking at the clay, you're listening to a teacher.

You and I were talking. So all I could think about was that clay in that moment. Yeah. And so we'll play you how it went. As per usual, there will be a video to go with this as well. Monday afternoon on our Instagram, at couple of Mitch's. It's where you can see the video. Yep.

So firstly, let's get into it. Can I just paint a picture? Sorry. Or mold a piece. Yeah. Don't have the lingo down. Fold some wet dirt. I don't know.

Mitch and I are wearing sculpting aprons, which are black aprons that come down your bodice, but then they split at the dick so then they can drape both thighs because you are literally straddling what looks like a combustion engine with one pedal. And then it's wet, covered full of water. And you've got a spinny dish, like a microwave oven without a lid on it. And you've got a pot of clay and we're sitting there, spread eagle.

So Mitch's left knee is touching my right knee. Very sensual. By the way, when you watch the video, one thing you'll notice is that you and I both wore black. Oh, we did. And then because Uganda had this like bookcase with drying pottery things in garbage bags. Yes, yes. So it wasn't overly aesthetic. It wasn't pretty. And so she goes, let me put a sheet up behind you, which was a black sheet.

And we were already wearing black clothes. So this video, like God bless Uganda. It looked so scabby, but it's fine. We had fun. So should we take a listen now? Yes. So first off, this was the very start of the class. We met Uganda, obviously.

She showed us how to use the wheel. And so we hadn't even touched the clay yet. And yet you just went full ball on that pedal and the clay went flying. All right, here we are in silky shapes in Crow's Nest, Mitch. How do you feel? I'm really nervous actually. I'm not, I feel like I'm going to really nail this. I want to nail it but I just feel that I won't.

And I'm going to take it really personally if your pot's better than mine. Shall we begin? Shall we make something? Yes, Uganda's here, she's going to show us how to do it. I bet you're going to make it look really easy and we're going to suck at it but go on, what do we need to know? Alright, so we're going to learn how to make a cylinder. So cylinder can be a cup, like a cereal or a rice bowl.

A cigarette ashtray, maybe. Could be. Yeah. I've actually quit, so I don't need one. He vapes now. First of all, try not to have any expectations. So don't think about the product at the end. Just think about all the steps you're doing.

Okay. So it's more about the journey. Exactly. I feel like we're about to head into an ivf meeting it is about the journey mitch it is it's about the journey yes our sex is good my car has no kids in it it's not my fault why don't you quickly tell us what we have what's this thing called this is that's a wheel that's a pottery wheel they're electric so you only need to push your foot down on the pedal like driving. Okay. Have you tried yours, Mitch? No. Let's go. You've tried. Bang it. Oh, nice. Look at that. See, Jenna's here filming. This is why she couldn't do it. She doesn't have a license to use an accelerator.

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. That actually knocked my testicles a little bit and that hurt mildly. What have you done? Sorry, I went a bit too fast. I've got skin on my wheel. So literally off to a flying start. Now, what would you call this, Shagana? That's a wheel. So your clay went flying all over you, hit you in the nuts. That was great.

Hit me in the balls. We hadn't even gotten started yet. No, we hadn't. It wasn't stuck to the wheel. That's why I asked what it was. She is very sweet. And I think we were both very confident at the start, but it quickly dwindles.

Yeah, like this is when the competitiveness started to kick in. So I challenge you all to keep track of who's winning, who's the better ceramicist at this point as we go through. So this is when we actually got started. Just picture a blob of clay in front of us, and we had to turn that into a corn shape. Yeah, we did, yeah. A very phallic shape. Our hands were either side of it drenched in water and we'd have to pull our hands up

slowly around this article. It was horny. Okay. So use a lot of water. Okay. Make sure your hand's always wet and slippery. If it gets dry, it's going to break. Okay.

So we can get wet now? Yeah. So spin fast, please. Yep. All right. Take a handful of water. Pour it on top of your clay all right so a generous handful and use both hands bring your hands up and in make your clay look like a con oh sorry if it's a cock sorry sorry it's been a couple of weeks. Sorry, sorry. Oh, God. You've done enough. I did amazingly. You did.

I've done enough. What happened? What have you done? That's lack of water. Lack of water? Yeah. Okay. My GP says the same thing.

You've always been a bit dry. I have. I have. So now we're going to pretend that was meant to be. Never happened. That was embarrassing. No, it wasn't. That's how it was meant to be.

While we're recording, we'll never forget. And I'm the one person that's done this before. Okay. Have you? it was meant to be. We'll never forget. And I'm the one person that's done this before. Okay. Have you? Yes, I didn't realise that. You've done it before and I'm still killing it so far. Yeah. Also, I thought you said that's the luck of the water.

I'm like, it sounds like a beautiful novel. Where do I read that one? You need to read the luck of the water. Yeah, so I decapitated my corn nut. Yeah, you did. And I actually circumcised it because it looked like, it did look like an uncircumcised dick. It wasn't supposed to.

No, most definitely not. I was trying to make a bowl. It was so dry. Well, this is the point where we turned the corn shape into a flat shape. And so we were sort of creating like, picture a cheese platter, you know, the little block of brie. Oh, yeah. That's what we were making.

Well described. Yes. A little block of brie cheese. That's what we're making at this point. Now we're going to do the next step if you guys want to watch this. Yeah, yeah. We're going to spin fast, pour water left hand at six right hand like this on top like karate chop

and you karate chop down. Oh, karate chop. And karate chop. Put your elbows down if you can. You can stop. You can keep going. I'm amazing. Is that good? Is that good?

Very good. My cock turned into a pot. Mitchell. Oh, you've lapped me. You've overtaken me. Let's fix that. You all look like the mushrooms that killed that family in Melbourne this weekend. Yeah, would you like a taste? No, I'm all right, thanks.

Jesus. Yeah, so at this point, I'm now the shit one. You're better than me at pottery. I'm all right, thanks. Jesus. Yeah, so at this point, I'm now the shit one. You're better than me at pottery. I'm overtaken. And so I don't talk much after this because I'm so fucking focused on being better than you. You actually did. If you watch the video, Mitch gets so silent. It happened in the bar class.

I was confident at the start that in the last 10 minutes, I just shut up. Yeah, it was the other way around this time. I became really, really nervous because I couldn't talk. I was so focused on being good at it. Yeah, okay. And so we've got the block of brie cheese in front of us now. And so we were supposed to, I guess, finger the middle. Yes.

To turn the block into a bowl. So to speak. You know, you've got to make a gaping hole. And this is when we both started to notice how fucking sensual it was feeling, you know? Next step, we're going to do opening. So if you want to watch, fast speed, water. I'm only going to use my thumbs, two thumbs together. You're going to go in the middle until you have one

centimeter left on the bottom. Oh, the bottom, okay. So don't touch the bottom. Then you're going to bring your thumbs out like this. Wow, this is, well, I've been there before, yeah. Reminds me of my birth. This opening here should be like five centimetres wide, so big enough for one hand to fit in.

So you don't want to go through to the bottom? Yes. Well, that'd be a pretty shit plate, wouldn't it? Oh, it's a plate? Sorry. Keep going down until you have a central left. This is quite sensual, isn't it? Oh, mine's gorgeous. Nice, nice, nice.

And then do we pull out? Mitchell, done. And yeah, push your thumbs out for us. And that's done. Oh, my God. Well done. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. I'm so impressed. That's great. I hate that yours is clearly better than mine. It's a bowl. Well done. I could eat cereal out of that. Oh, I wouldn't feed my cat out of that.

It really is quite sensual, you're right. I get the whole ghost scene now. Do you have a partner? No. Have you ever brought someone here for a date? Well, people come in here for dates. Do they? Yeah.

Sometimes a girl doesn't know it's pottery. A guy would arrange everything and she will show up like in lace gown. Oh, how spewing would you be? Looking beautiful. Not the good gown. And then he's pulling open a bowl. She's going, I'm jealous of a pot. Sorry.

What? I was clearly delusional. Cue the ghost music. This is when we're feeling sensual. She reckons a lot of people go on dates there. I do it for sure. Yeah, I do. I love that. I love a hands-on experience. Something dates there? I'd do it for sure. Yeah, I'd love that.

I love a hands-on experience, something to reference. I really am down for that. I feel like if someone suggested a pottery date to me, be it a surprise or not, I'd be a bit off-put at first. But, hey, it'd be fucking memorable, wouldn't it? Totally. I'd definitely remember that date. I'd pretend to do it to their butt or something.

Oh, my God. With your garner there. You need to read the away at the water. You're like, hey, your garner. Your garner want to look away. We're about to get fucking frisky. Clean them up with the sponge. Yuck.

So at this point, we've put a hole. We've fingered a hole in our breech. No, I'm actually introducing the next bit of audio. Thank you. Oh, sorry. At this point, we've fingered a hole into the breeches. No, I'm actually introducing the next bit of audio. Thank you. Oh, sorry. At this point, we've fingered a hole into the breeches. Yes, we have. We have.

And so it's like a really tiny flat bowl, and this is when we had to stretch it up and make it a taller bowl. Yeah, it was going from a small bowl to a big bowl. Yes, correct. And remember, at this point, you're in the lead, right? Like, you're obviously doing a better job than me. Haven't forgotten. I'm doing exceptionally well.

So, Yagana has got my resume, about to offer me a job as a tutor. Let's see how that lasted. Okay, so for next step, we're going to need medium speed. Yours isn't as big as ours. Have we gone too big? Yeah. Oh no, she was too polite to say it. Once again, our hole is too gaping. Been there before. So do we need to close up our hole? Do we need to rest for a few days? That would be good, yeah.

If you spin medium speed, wet your hands. We're going to mainly use the middle finger. Yeah. Oh, perfect. My favourite one. So keep moving upwards. Keep moving upwards really gently. Really, really gently.

Don't squeeze hard, Mitch. Oh, no. Oh, my God! really, really gently. Don't squeeze hard, Mitch. Oh, no. Oh! Oh! Oh, how embarrassing. I've beheaded my piece. You fucked it. And I was the star pupil.

You got cocky, mate. Absolutely ruined it. Yeah, how embarrassing. I snapped it in half. My piece fell. So humiliating. In front of my eyes. And you know what?

Me and Yigeli looked at each other. Uganda. Uganda. From silky shapes. From silky shapes. In crows. Yeah, the way of the water. Humiliating. And you know what? Me and Yigeli looked at each other. Yagana. Yagana. From Silky Shapes. From Silky Shapes. In Croze. Yeah, the way of the water avatar part two. And she looks at me.

She's so disappointed. But then I look over at Mitchell and the joy in his face. Yeah, I'm like, I'm back, bitch. I'm back in the running. Unbridled joy. So mine has been cut off. She gets up out of her chair and she comes and fix mine. Yeah, she did have to give you a helping hand,

which gave you a bit of an advantage, I would have thought. Yes, it did. Anyway, so finally this is when we put the finishing touches on our bowls, although yours looked a bit more like a cup, to be fair. Yeah, it was half the size. Yeah. So, yeah, this is the end of our pottery class. Yes, and then Uganda asked Jenna to make a judgment,

who did a better job at their pottery. So we basically, this is it, we're finalising it. Yeah, so you keep going up. Pressure. Until you get five mil thickness of the wall. Okay, I've got the death wobbles. Okay, so Mitch, we're going to compress the rim for you. Compress the rim?

Yeah, so see how the rim is going up and down? You aim in for this. Yeah. No bumps. See, in my head, mine looks like that. Okay. And I've got pottery dysmorphia. Shit, mine's taken on an oval shape.

It's not round anymore. That's okay. That's perfect, actually. You've done really well. I wouldn't say perfect. It's almost like I'm intuitive. Natural. Oh, okay.

That's pretty much done. Wow. It's a coffee cup. How's mine? Do you want it to stay as is, or do you want me to even it out for you? What do you mean? You're saying mine's not perfect. Yes, it is? Do you want it to stay as is or do you want me to even it out for you? What do you mean? Are you saying mine's not perfect? Yes, it is perfect.

Yeah, no, it's not perfect. Jenna, do you want a hug? Get away from me. Go away. Okay, let's leave it as is. It's perfect. Yeah. Are you happy with yours?

I don't think it matters what I think. I think Uganda, the top dog of Silky Shaped Studio, who did a better job? I. Well, duh. Out of the two Mitches. And you can be honest. We will need to ask Jenna to judge. All right, Jenna.

Have a look at our pots and tell us who's a superior. I mean, mine's not really a pot. Mine is just a... It's a toothbrush holder. It is a toothbrush holder and Mitchell's cat bowl. Yeah, actually. Well, to be honest, I wouldn't let and Mitchell's cat bowl. Yeah, actually. Well, to be honest, I wouldn't let Connie even near that thing.

No, it's a WH&S. Look at the jagged edges. Honestly, they're both terrible. It's really hard to decide. I'd love to see you do a better job, Jenna. Such support, Jenna. I'm going to go with Mitch. Hey!

Oh, God. Thanks, Jenna. Half of it's missing. Thank you so much. This was great. My pleasure. I actually feel, I don't know how you feel, Mitch, but I feel like this is a hobby that I want to continue.

It's very rare that you actually continue, though. Yeah. How much do these cost? Because what Mitch does is he buys all the bullshit, drops all this money on it, and then just forgets about it. Like he's got DJ decks, a banjo, all these things. He's just bought the equipment and they're not actually used how much would this set you back um probably a couple of thousands just for the wheel you're good for it yeah that's all right yeah but um there are options you don't have to own everything there are lots of different studios you can go and

do it at the studio and you can do it whenever you have time you don't have to commit to it i actually am very i think i'm going to continue this hobby was it therapeutic yeah and it was also like it it keeps your brain and your hands busy yeah i've never been more focused no i wasn't speaking my brain was on is that rare yeah very very yeah my my therapist will be very impressed the most common feedback i get is people say that i did not think about anything for two hours yeah yeah so you just you're so focused on your hands that all the other noise in your mind just disappears i can't say that word meditative it is meditative without trying to meditate because everyone says, I cannot meditate. My monkey brain never stops. But when you're doing this, you're meditating without knowing.

Yeah. I love it. I'm sold. Now, important question, Uganda. As a professional ceramicist, do you ever bother getting your nails done or is it just going to get wrecked? Yeah, no, I don't. I'm missing one of the nails.

What? What did you do? Because it rubs against the wheel. I did actually notice that. You can recognize putters by this third nail. Oh, that's the most common one. Half of it is missing. Oh, show me.

Because when you're doing this, coning up and down, you're touching the wheel. Oh, my God. You actually don't feel it. Then you sit at home and you're like, what happened? Where has it gone? Oh, no. That's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

That is just horrific. Thank you so much. This was great. I've got a new hobby. Congratulations. Thank you. So early in the hunt. Yeah, and we've got a new urn for the next friend of ours to die

because that is hideous and we'll put them in that. Aww. There we go. Like we said, the video's up on our Instagram at Couple of Mitches on Monday afternoon. Yes. We should do another. I love what we did with the bar video where we got the early bird listeners

to comment something. Yeah, to prove that they heard the podcast first. What could be something pot related that they can comment on the video? Oh, maybe just the leaf emoji or just 14. Blaze it. The maple leaf emoji is usually what people put on their dating profile, like on Grindr, for example. Yeah, yeah.

It's a maple leaf emoji. They're a dealer. Correct. You could put that. I like the maple. We don't want people thinking that our page is, you know, a conduit for example. It's a maple leaf emoji. They're a dealer. Correct. You could put that. I like the maple. We don't want people thinking that our page is, you know, a conduit for weed. Yeah, we can't just

have that emoji. Like a pot pun, are there any? Yeah, I'm sure we could think of one. Yeah, some pot. Yeah, why is it? God, we're old. This is Uganda's claim to fame. Oh, good, good, good. We'll see you later. Good, good. Uganda barely know her. Uganda didn't fucking know her. Uganda.

Didn't fucking touch her. One of the many. If you can't think of something, a pot joke. Okay, write a pot joke or the Maple Leaf emoji. A pot pun. A pot pun. Yeah, don't bully Uganda. She'll be so confused.

Oh, no, no. I adore Uganda. I want her as my teacher. In the same way that you were a bit like, oh, my God, the bar teacher, Mandy, is so cool. Elle. Elle. I thought Uganda was were a bit like, oh my God, the bar teacher, Mandy, is so cool. Elle. Elle. I thought Uganda was so cool. Yeah, I loved her. She was adorable. And she's right. That ring finger on her left

hand looked like a fucking Frankfurter that had been chopped off. Well, it's time for the verdict. Oh my God. Are we going to actually commit to this hobby? Have we found a new one? Oh my God. Well, are we all going to commit or is it just you and me, Mitch? Do we all have to decide? True, Jenna didn't

actually give it a crack. But for someone who was watching. Well, I can't because my nails, it gets into my nails because I've got cat nails. Alright, so that's an instant no from Jenna. Mitchell, you can go next. I didn't work this hard to quit my nail biting habit

just to have some fucking pottery wheel rip my nail off. No way. I can't risk losing a nail. Sorry. Holy shit, it's a no from Mitchell. Understandable. Wow, we're burning through these verdicts. You made it pretty clear in that that you were sold on it,

but I should say it's been a couple of weeks since we've recorded that, and so, God, we know what you're like. Yeah. Would you like to know the truth of the matter? Yeah, go on. I'm in negotiations with someone on Gumtree. No, hear me out.

Hear me out. You can't specifically say you don't need to buy your own wheel. You can just go to a studio. Do you see me installing a ballet bar in my home? I just go to the studio

where they've got bars. I am in negotiations with someone who is selling all their gear, which is probably not a good sign because that's where I'm going to be in six weeks. However, I think we've landed on a fair and reasonable price for a pottery wheel.

No, Mitchell, don't. This is what you do. You've got so much bullshit that you don't commit to. And it will be coming home because it is my new hobby. I accept. I love pottery. Okay, I mean that's a win, but I don't think you're going about it the right way. It's a half win. I also had a listener message me that does pottery classes in Cronulla, which is where

I live currently with mum and dad. Okay. And she said, come to the studio and you can do weekly sessions and I'm going to do that. Well, do that. Instead of getting your own wheel, there's no need. That's what I was trying to Google, a message, because she messaged me inviting me, bless her. Her name's Ashley.

She listens to the show. Ceramics pottery class in Tarrant Point. I'd love you to come. She messaged the two of us, actually. She invited us. Oh, really? Yeah. Hi, darlings.

My name's Ashley. Currently a few wines deep. Well, tell her to fucking forget about it. Remove me from the group chat. I'm not losing my hair. Okay. All right. Well, I'm so happy.

Oh, this is great. I've got a new hobby. I understand where your head's at when it comes to I've got a new hobby. I've got to buy the shit to go with it. Yeah, I know. Like, I'm so happy. Oh, this is great. I've got a new hobby. I understand where your head's at when it comes to I've got a new hobby. I've got to buy the shit to go with it. Yeah, I know. Like I get it, but you don't need to because I did the same thing when I finally found a new Pilates and yoga studio to go to. I was like, oh, I'm going to get a new mat.

It's going to be so good. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't a fucking cheap mat. Yeah. It's got this gorgeous Indigenous artwork on it. I've seen it. It was expensive, but I was like, nah, nah, all good. Oh, yeah.

I'll rock up to the first class and they're like, nah, you don't need to bring your own mat. We've got them. Oh, no. So I don't think you go into a pottery class, they're going to expect you to bring your own fucking wheel. You don't need to buy it. It's also like 40 kilos.

Yeah. I did search kilns, but they require a lot of energy. Yeah, what are you going to do after you make a pot without a kiln? Also, what am I going to do to my dad? Dad, I'm going to fuck on Thursday, but then also I'm making pottery in the backyard on Friday. So you need to fuck off out of your own house that you're paying the mortgage on. Think of the mess you're going to make if you get your own pottery wheel. Like, it's so much easier to go to a class and then just leave it behind.

Sorry, I thought you were saying think of the mess you're going to make if you fuck on Thursday. I thought, how do you know? Get your mind out of the gutter, you grump. Sorry. We love you, J think of the mess you're going to make if you fuck on Thursday. I thought, how do you know? Get your mind out of the gutter, you grump. Sorry. We love you, Jemama. What was it? Uganda. Uganda.

From Silky Shaped Studio in Croesus. Hit it up, guys. And we thank them very much for having us. Hit it up. It's a beautiful studio. Yeah. Now, do we need to continue the hobby hunt? Because you reckon you've found one.

Because I have been getting a lot of suggestions sent in. Oh, definitely. I think this is great and I think we're staggering. You want to continue? I want to continue. I'm not fully sold on having a brand new hobby that I can commit to. Pottery's hard and lengthy. Is it?

What? Well, it just takes time. If you want a fucking mug, it takes six weeks and you've got to kiln it for a month and you've got to bake it. No. I want something more instant. Yeah, but that's the beauty of the hobby, you know? Yeah, but I'm very impatient.

So something a bit more instant could be nice. Okay, well, I'll tell you some of the suggestions. Lily said that we should do canoe polo. Absolutely not, Lily. Do you listen to these podcasts? It's basically water polo but in kayaks, she said. You paddle around in a kayak and try and score goals that are hung up in the air. Lots of fun, she said.

And you come from a water polo background, right? I do. So just think of that but in a canoe. I've actually thought about getting back into water polo. There's a queer water polo team in Sydney. I was actually thinking that the other day. I was like, why is he looking for a new hobby when he's clearly got one that he used to be quite good at, by all accounts? I know.

And I'm wanting to do swimming again. I want to swim with my dad. He swims every morning at the beach. Anyway, I don't think kayak... No, it sounds like quidditch, and that's silly. It does, actually. You know that Macquarie University, just down the road from our studio, they've got a quidditch team. Should we sign up? Yeah, UNSW where I went

does as well. They verse each other. Do they play? Hold on. Is it role play? Like are they Hufflepuffs? I don't know. At O-Week when I saw the store for a Quidditch team I was like isn't that fucking flying? What are they doing? No, isn't that fucking mythical? It's not

real. God, that's dumb. And the bludgers looked heavy on Harry Potter. The bludgers. Oh, my God, they did. And I did like the look of the snitch, though, to be perfectly honest with you. Oh, yeah. That looks really fun.

Yeah. Wow, okay. Rachel also suggested that we do aerial hoop. It's technically considered a circus art. Basically, it's a suspended metal hoop that you use to do aerobics. Oh, absolutely fucking not. I think that'd be right up my alley. Well, you can do it in your own spare time. No, thank you. Angus suggested one of those

smash rooms where you just get a bunch of the pottery that we made, really. Just a bunch of ceramics, like plates and shit, and you hit it with a hammer. Oh my god, I'd absolutely adore that. I've seen those. It's just like a one white room. It's like four walls and they lock the door and you wear safety gear and you throw ceramics like you're at a Greek fucking wedding.

Oh, there's no hammer, you just throw it? I've seen different ones. I've seen hammers. I've seen axes. I'd really like to do that. Should we do a smash room next? Oh my God. But is that a hobby or is that not just something you do after you break up with your partner

to get your anger out? Yeah, but they probably have membership things. It depends on how much you fall in love with it. It's probably on the same wavelength as bowling. Some people would consider that a hobby. Some people would consider that something you do with your cousins. Let's do a smash room because the three of us have so much pent-up anger. I'd just start hitting you with the hammer.

You'd kill me. I think Jenna would go fucking nuts. Jenna's like, I don't need a hammer. I've got my nails. Let's do a smash room. That audio is going to be very hard to play back. It's like, I don't need a hammer. I've got me nails. Let's do a smash room. That audio is going to be very hard to play back. It's going to be grating on the ears. Ah, well, it's fine.

It'll be fun for us. It's all about the video. It's all about the footage. All right. Hobby number three. Let's do a smash room. I'm sold. Fuck yes.

All right. Coming soon, I guess. How the fuck did we start with Quidditch and end on smash room? Jesus. Is it just me? You should follow these idiots online. Search couple of Mitches.

Alright, the moment you've all been on the edge of your fucking seats waiting for. Jesus Christ, we've been teasing Hobby Hunt for months. Forget that shit. Forget my fucking emotional turmoil breakup of the year. Exactly. Who gives a shit? Mitch's new boyfriend? Fuck him.

Finally, Jenna is going to talk about her own life. We've all been waiting. Every week I ask the same question. Prizekeeper Jenna, how are you? What's new? What's new? What's been going on, girl? Nothing much.

Nothing much. Yeah, and we put it to her today. Right, it's time for you to tell a story. We're going to put aside time on the episode and you have to think of something. Have you thought of something? Yeah, I think I have. Okay, good. So this is Jenna.

What name did you want to go with, Jenna? You like Jenna's Fable Time? I think it was Jenna's Fable Time in the end. Jenna's Fable Time. All right, well, Jenna, Mitch and I are absolutely all ears. I've got a nice fish stew and Mitch is sharpening his axe. So when you're ready, Jenna, how have you been? What's going on?

Well, I'm telling a story. Yeah, she's got a yarn for it. Yes, it's just a little yarn from my current life. Okay, so let's rewind the clock back to 2002. Great. Oh, cool. How old were you then? Nine. Okay.

Family holiday. Where'd you go? Vanu you then? Nine. Okay. Family holiday. Where'd you go? Vanuatu. That'd be nice. Fucking hell. You weren't raised in a drought. Sorry. Keep going.

You were in Vanuatu on a family holiday when you were nine? Yes. Did you have enough money to take the butler with you? We didn't have a butler. Oh. Okay. Was it private or commercial? Airline.

It was commercial. It was daddy'sler. Oh. Was it private or commercial? Airline. It was commercial. It was daddy's airline. Okay. So first family holiday to Vanuatu. First, sorry. First to Vanuatu. Stop interrupting her. No, no.

The way she said that was as if she's been to Vanuatu nine times since. First family holiday to Vanuatu. And we just loved it so much we put it to pod that it's now our summer home. Yes. Well, because we own the first Bora in Bora Bora. Sorry, sorry. I haven't been since. Okay.

So we arrive and it's lovely. We stay in a really lovely hotel, like resort. It's really, really nice. No doubt. I go to kids club. It's great. Yeah. Lots of fun.

I have a friend that nannies there. It's great. And then on the third night, there's a massive earthquake. What the fuck? This is a great story, Jenna. And it's one of the worst earthquakes Vanuatu's ever had. Oh, my God, I'm Googling. So 2002 Vanuatu earthquake.

This is ringing a bell. I feel like I've heard this in passing, but let's get into the details, the nitty gritty. Okay, so we're all having fun until one night. Or maybe it was the morning. Mitch, do you need new music, something really grim. Oh, yeah. Something daunting. Yes.

Suspenseful. Okay, so it's about the third night or morning. Early dawn, I don't know. I'm in my bunk bed. Uh-huh. And because I loved bunk beds at the time. I could have slept on the double bed, but I decided to sleep on the bunk bed. All of a sudden...

Okay, I've got to get to the Wicked Premier. You can skim some details. All of a sudden, the room starts to shake. The bunk bed falls down. I fall to the ground. Oh, my. What does that sound like? What would you sound like doing that?

No, it was literally... Oh, my God, Jenna, yeah. Yes, and we were on the top of a hill. No, the bottom literally... Oh, my God, Jenna, yeah. Yes. And we were on the top of a hill. No, the bottom of a hill. So there could have been like a landslide. Anyway, my dad picks me up. We run outside.

Everybody else in the resort are outside their doors as well. Yeah. We're all freaking out. Then there's aftershocks constantly for the next few hours. And then the next few days, I'm begging to leave all the shops. Wait, wait, the next few days I'm begging to leave all the shops. Wait, wait, the next few days? Yes. So far your father's running and carrying you out.

You can't skip a few days. I want to know what happened next. Was it chaos? Did the hotel crumble? Yeah, the bunks were demolished. No, we put the bunks back up. Got it. Was your brother crashed?

Did you have a third brother that we don't know of? No, he was in a double bed because I was alone on the bunk bed. Got it. Was your brother crashed? Did you have a third brother that we don't know of? No, he was in a double bed because I was alone on the bunk bed. Got it. Anyway, we were all rushed out and everyone was scared. What time of night? I'd say early morning sometime. Oh, okay. So you didn't need to go back to sleep?

No. I don't remember. Maybe I did. Okay. I would have tried, but there were aftershocks. All the shops were destroyed, so I couldn't get any food or anything. Sorry, not laughing. Dying to go back home.

That's awful. I was crying, screaming. Everybody else in the resort got to go back home, but my dad said because he paid for the trip, we had to stay. Wow. That's how the rich stay rich, I suppose. That's exactly right. So it was easier for everyone to go home.

It's not like you were stranded and there were no flights. Oh, well, that's where I think there was tsunami warning. Oh, fuck me. Oh, my fucking God. You're kidding. There wasn't a tsunami, was there? No, there wasn't, luckily, but there was a warning. So people from other islands had to go onto our island and we were all stuck there.

You're like, don't come here. It's fucked. So there was a siren that went off. Yeah. Tsunami warning. So we were like in the resort. Terrified. Sorry, I hate to interrupt your fable.

Yes, yes. There's one sound effect I want you to get on YouTube. It's the- The haunted hurricane siren? Yeah, the Chicago tornado warning. The broken siren. Mitchell, you've made us play this 12 times on this fucking show. I know, but I want it in the background of Jenna's disaster story.

Okay, fantastic. Stand by. Let's do it in the background of Jenna's disaster story. Okay, fantastic. Stand by. Let's do it. So it's Chicago specifically. Yeah. Chicago broken tornado siren. Okay, keep going, Jenna. Where were we?

So the government advised everybody to leave the island, leave the country, but because my dad had paid for the whole two weeks, we had to stay. So we were one of the last families there. But luckily the nannies and everything brought their children to stay so we were the one of the last families there but luckily the nannies and everything brought their children to stay on the resort as well so i hung out with them for how much longer were you there after the earthquake two weeks are you fucking kidding me so other countries sent in aid and you were still there holiday yes the australian government i'm

sure it was john howard at the time spent millions of taxpayer dollars to rebuild Vanuatu and you and your wealthy family were sitting sipping cocktails. There was no water in the pool, so... What did you do? How did you kill time? Well, the nannies had horses. Oh, fuck, and so it began. Jenna the horse girl was born out of trauma,

rising like a phoenix from the ashes. I used to walk along the beach alone and get hermit crabs. And I had my own little hermit crab farm. Which I ate for dinner. Because the shops were fucked. Sorry, I mean, considering you're having a great time, we really need to change it. This is the vibe. Get rid of the loop, the tornadoes.

Anyway, my brother decided to run away. Oh, fucking hell. So he caught a taxi into the city. A taxi? Yes. Oh, my God, so more dramatic. He was seven. Oh, my God.

What happened? The taxi driver took him to the city and asked him for money. And he said, I don't have money. And then my parents realised he was gone. So I had to call the police. I was left on the beach with the hermit crabs. And they had to go to the city to collect him. They finally found him.

They thought he'd been kidnapped. Why was he fleeing? Because he didn't want to stay there? He wanted to go home? No, he was just bored. Well, two weeks is a long time, Mitchell. I was the one who was desperate to leave. That's where my anxiety came in.

You can't just run away because you're bored. Well, he was seven, so he thought he could. He was sick of our family. He never had dinner with us, so he was always at another table. Then I went on to another table because all the tables were available. If only running away while you were bored was an option. This story would be finished for me. Anyway, during this time, there were constant aftershocks.

I'd be home. There were constant aftershocks. We then had to go to another hotel because it closed down. Yeah, of course. Structural damage. And it was a go to another hotel because it closed down in the city and it was a run down hotel with ants. Had to stay three days there. It was the airport hotel. But they had really delicious chips so I had spent three days eating that. Then we went to the airport and finally came home and it was the worst

trip of my life. Wow, Jenna. But, hey, it was memorable, wasn't it? It was very memorable. Wow, that was a brilliant story. Thank you. Worth five years in the making, to be honest. You've got to do Jenna's fables more often.

Think of another one. Give us one more another time. No, not now. No, no, no. We don't have the fucking time for that music. I've got to get to the Wicked Premier and wrap this shit up. Alright, let's go home. Have a great time at the Wicked Premier, Mitchell.

What theatre is it at? It's at the Lyric Theatre, which is Star Casino. Which, frankly, is not my favourite theatre. No, I prefer the State Theatre, to be honest. I prefer Capital. Capital's beautiful. No, the State Theatre. Oh, no. Theatre Royal. That is so spacious. I love Capital and then Theatre Royal. Nah, the State Theatre. Oh, no, no. Theatre Royal. Oh, the new one.

That is so spacious. I love Capital and then Theatre Royal. Anyway, I don't have time for this shit. Well, hold on. My quick question is, why is it so exciting that it's back because it was gone? Because it's wicked. Yeah, but why did it go? How long has it been gone for?

Like, what's the history? Last time it was in Australia would have been 2014 or 2015. Oh, God. And that was their 10 year anniversary tour. So they'd been 10 years prior to that. It just won't be the same without Gemma Ricks. I know. She's fucking pregnant. Yeah, I know.

God forbid she lives her life and doesn't have to get painted in green slime every day. This just paints, I will tell this quickly, this paints how much of a fucking wicked nerd I was. Not just theatre nerds, specifically wicked nerds. Yes. The lead actress who played Elphaba, the Green Witch, Gemma Ricks, who I fucking adored.

Exceptional performer. Yeah. She released an album independently and through her own live shows at like a tiny theatre in Surrey Hills or Redfern or something. Jenna and I went and we got a fucking photo with her. I've seen this photo. Yes, we attended the meet and greet after. Yeah, I've seen the photo.

Is it behind the theatre at the end of the show? No. Or is that you with the Dina Menzel? I don't know what you're talking about. I've not seen this photo. Oh, goodness me. Oh, sorry. Jesus, Mitchell, you look like Hannah fucking Gatsby in that pic.

You don't look well. That was when I was starting to grow my hair long and had to hide it with a hat. She looks lovely. Is she anyone of merit these days or has she faded away? Excuse the fuck you. She went on from being Elphaba and Wicked to being the, I don't know, who's the one with the long hair in Frozen, the main one? Elsa.

Yes. Fuck. Yes. Oh, good for her. Good for her. Sorry, no need to throw aspersions. And now she can't be in Wicked because she's fucking pregnant. Who's playing Elphaba in Fairy?

I don't know, but I'm going to be going into it very sceptical because that first Aussie cast was phenomenal. Lucy Durack. Don't be judgmental. No, no, no. I'm going into it hoping it's going to be good, but I haven't got my hopes too high because otherwise it can't reach that standard that I set.

Of course, true. I'm just going to be like, keep in low expectations so that they blow me away. Of course, then you're not disappointed. Exactly. Correct. All right, well, have fun at the premiere. Have a good little show.

Hey, leave us a five-star review, please, if you can, and we will talk to you all in a week. Great. Catch you soon, idiots. See ya. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches.

Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief. This is our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it's not. We keep talking shit. I won't be talking that much shit today. No. Mitchell, there was something I said to you at the start of the show that I said, we'll talk about in AD Debrief. I don't remember that. Clearly not that memorable. Also, that's breaking the rules. Nothing's planned, nothing's structured. No, but sometimes there is something that doesn't make the main show because it's not worthy enough. Well, mentally

I think I'll save this for AD Debrief. Yeah, right. Oh, actually no, I think I remember what you're talking about. Because last week's episode, Jenna, you weren't there, but we said we were going to have an all-staff meeting about the future of the podcast. That's it. And I would weren't there, but we said we were going to have an all-staff meeting. Oh, correct. Yes, yes, yes. About the future of the podcast. That's it. And I would like to point out that the Is It Just Me group chat went into a bit of turmoil

after that. You're talking about us discussing the length of our episodes, which when we first started was sitting around the 40 to 50 minute mark. Yeah. Hold on. Let me just have a quick look. Not the Facebook group, but the Endurant Idiots group chat. Correct. Which is used daily. Yeah. Okay. Here it me just have a quick look. Not the Facebook group, but the Endurant Idiots group chat. Correct, which is used daily.

Yeah. Okay, here it is. It's from Adam. He says, okay, idiots, can someone calm my nerves and soul? Did anyone else get hints slash feelings of the podcast ending? Huh? No. Between them bringing, all right, hey, Jenna being gone again,

Mitch saying how they have so many advertisers, saying how they keep cancelling other podcasts by being on them, talking about Trash Alley ending and them ending the episode saying next week we have an all staff meeting. It seemed very foreshadowing of the end of times. Babes, we're not that clever. We don't do the Taylor Swift Easter egg shit. We don't foreshadow. I was just about to say, we're not fucking Taylor.

Hold on. Who said that? Adam. Adam about to say, we're not fucking Taylor. Hold on. Who said that? Adam. Adam. Calm down, Adam. It's fine. We're not ending the podcast. No, not yet anyway.

The reason we wanted to have an all-staff meeting, including you, Jenna, was because the fucking episodes are getting longer. It used to be 40 to 50 minutes, an hour, and even went an hour and three minutes. We'd be like, shit, we fucked it. We fucked it up. We've gone too long. We used to have that timer on. Yeah.

Oh, we did. Like we're on the fucking prices right. I don't mind the longer episodes. I actually don't, but I've got a long commute. So I enjoy hour long podcasts because I drive for two hours a day. I don't mind long episodes either. But like there is data to back the fact that if there's a new listener browsing for the first time if they look at an episode and see that it's fucking an hour and 40 minutes which sometimes

when we never shut up it gets to that point that we're like oh that's too much to commit to yes and so obviously i'm not going to say that we do shorter episodes because that would be depriving our loyal idiots who love the longer episode of more idjim time, right? That's correct. And so what we were thinking is that we do best of both worlds. We'll do two episodes a week. Yeah. We'll start doing two episodes, but they're just going to be a little bit shorter than

what you might expect. Like, I don't know, half an hour to 45 minutes or so. Correct. Now don't go- Which they'll start to blow out too, no doubt. Don't wig out and freak your little tail feather two episodes is great in fact you'll most likely end up getting more content

and I will say this sometimes if we go for ages which fuck me we just do sometimes we record for ages then I'm like oh shit I'm going to have to cut certain parts edit it down to make it a little bit shorter it means I won't have to do any of that so actually if we do this and do the two episodes a week,

you're getting more in the long run? Well, Mitch has to edit every episode. He culls many, many, many bits. It depends how much we run over. But it's all dependent on time. So the point is if we're going to start doing an extra episode a week and that will bring us to two episodes, you're going to end up getting more content anyway.

You're not going to miss any of the shit that ends up on the cutting room for normally. Because even hypothetically, if we did two episodes a week and there were 45 minutes, we'd probably end up running late on those two. 100%. So I reckon you're going to be better off in the long run. Yes. But it's not our decision.

We're not just going to go shaking things up on our idiots' behalf, disrupting their routines. We're going to let you idiots decide. Yeah, you can have the power. We'll put a survey up. Now, if you're not in our Facebook group, this is a great time to join. Endurant Idiots is where you can continue the conversation from the show online. It's the only reason I and many people have told us that they're still on Facebook, for

the Facebook group. Yeah, I'm kind of like that too. Facebook groups, there's just so many fun ones, ours being the best, of course. Of course. And you know what? I'd actually love you to join if you're not in there. E-N-D-U-R-A-N-T, Endurant Idiots, because people have problems spelling on our show.

So let us know that you're a new Endurant Idiot, you want to participate in the survey, and we'll put it up and we'll ask you. Just chill out. It's going to be fine. The more, you know, it's so funny that people speculated that the podcast was ending when, in fact, we're offering an extra episode. I feel like sometimes our listeners need to calm the fuck down.

They thought that I was banned from Kiss FM. Yeah. They thought our podcast was ending because we're just offering an extra episode. Like, guys, don't be worst-case scenario about it. Totally. Also, I've just revealed that I'm looking for more of you to fuck. I'm not going to cancel the podcast if I'm trying to root you all. I've got fables to tell. Jenna's got fables to tell.

I've got listeners to fuck, guys. Come on, we're not going anywhere. And in answer to everyone's question, well, if you're doing two episodes a week, does that mean two ADD briefs? Do they both get it? Yeah. We talked about that and the answer is yes. You get two. Every episode, each episode

will get its own ADDief because it deserves it. And that's how we debrief after the show. And so it'd be like a Monday episode and a Wednesday episode. Hypothetically, you haven't made the decision yet. It'll be a Monday episode and a Wednesday episode. But for our early bird, it's actually Sunday night and Tuesday night. Yeah. The OGs.

If you know, you know. IYK, IYK. Yeah. I think two episodes. IYK, IYK. Okay. Do you believe I nailed that with my brain? Yeah, I was like fucking looking. That was so impressive. That was really good. I nailed that with IYK. Yeah. I think two episodes. IYK, IYK. Okay. Do you believe I nailed that with my brain? Yeah, I was like fucking looking.

That was so impressive. That was really good. Nailed that with my brain. My brain is so bad. It's getting worse. Yeah, so that's where we're at. And just participate in the survey. Survey.

And I also, like, the other reason that I'm keen to do two episodes a week is that sometimes because, one, we jam-pack them. Something that I worked ages on, like the hobby hunt, the bar class thing. You did work very hard on that. That didn't start until fucking 55 minutes into that episode. And so there's so many people that wouldn't have actually listened that far in.

Wouldn't have got to it. Like, we should have led with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I agree. But we can't because we've got the is it just me's to start with. Exactly. Yeah. So by the time this is out, we'll be at the survey.

But also, if you don't want it, feel free to say so because I did see the bitches in our Facebook group saying, is it just me or do you love the episode lengths as they are and they shouldn't change? That's fine. It won't change. They're just the same amount of time but different episodes. You'll just get us twice a week. Dip your toes in the cool, cool waters of Idjim twice a week. Yeah.

Don't have to wait. Only if you want, though. If you don't want that, just fucking say so in the survey. Just be honest. The power's in your hands, okay? It's all. If you don't want that, just fucking say so in the server. Just be honest. The power's in your hands, okay? It's all right. All right, well, we've got that out of the way. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today.

That's all. So we do. So we do. That was fucking shit. What was that? Sorry, sorry. Let's do that again. Yeah, please do it again.

We hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. That's all. So we do. That'll do. I've got to go. I've got to go to the theatre. Wait, wait. What?

Before we go. What? I just think it's only appropriate. Just for a while. Mitch is getting up. Oh, he's getting up. Mitchell, can you calm down? I'm getting anxious.

It's 2.50pm. I want to beat the school traffic. It's all right. All together. Sorry, I didn't anticipate that. Oh, okay, yeah. Let's do right. All together. Sorry, I didn't anticipate that. Oh, okay, yeah. Let's do this. Just together.

Come on. I'm not doing this. It's three minutes. Okay, I'll do it. Can you explain what it is, by the way? Oh, people, no. He's got it. We're happy now.

I hope you're happy. Defying gravity. I hope you think you're clever. I hope you're happy. I hope you're happy, too. I hope you're proud how you would Grovel in submission To feed your own ambition
