This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you. Hello you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Yeah, no one says the word turn as an adult. You know how kids would be like, can I have a turn?

You don't say that shit as an adult. Can I have a turn in your car? I want a turn. Now! It's my turn. Now is Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coons. Hello you. Hello you. And I mean you, Mitchell Coons. Yeah, I'm back. What did I miss much? You're back not much at all. The horniest episode of all time apparently last week is what I was told. So I've heard, yeah. Yeah. I've heard that you were getting your flirt on.

No, no, I think our guest was getting their flirt on. Yeah, I will say, not to start rumours and start shit, but Sean did say to me, I just think that Mitch and Louis would make such a good couple. Oh, Sean. It was so lovely to hear them together and I was like, mate, Cheery could flirt with a Venus flytrap and have good chemistry. That's just what he's like.

He's a flirt. I think I matched with one of those on Hinge this afternoon. No, Louis is gorgeous. And he was great and he was funny and he was charming. But I did miss you. Oh, thanks, darling. I brought back your souvenir. Don't worry.

Oh, my God. Shit from New Zealand. Oh, my God. I also brought our third wee or prizekeeper generous souvenir. But she's not here. So I guess I'll just be keeping this. Didn't turn up. Oh my God.

So you've been to New Zealand. Yeah. Was it a great trip? It was just gorgeous, honestly. I'm in that like post-travels blues phase because of course my TikTok has started feeding me all these videos of people in Queenstown and I'm like, oh, I miss it so much. I'm yearning for it. So where did you, did you just do Queenstown?

Yeah. Just like four days in Queenstown. And now I'm so keen to go back and see more of New Zealand. Can I just say, the world's crispest air quality ever. I've heard that. It was stunning. I had a bit of a head cold before I left and it was fine in New Zealand. And then I flew back to Sydney and there's all this fucking smoke and it was killing

me, all the back burning. I literally out of the plane window couldn't see the city. There was that much smoke. Yeah, it's been really bad. So that was great for my head cold. Anyway, your souvenir. Sorry, I'm distracted. Oh, my God.

What's New Zealand music? I was going to get some New Zealand music, but I don't want to appropriate or anything. I don't know if there is anything. The Haka? Oh, I don't want to get in trouble. I don't think I can play that. Probably not. Okay, so I got two snacks.

You get to choose, I guess, because Jenna's on here. You can choose between kiwi poo or sheep droppings. Can I hold them both? Yeah, here. What are they? Chuck them. I don't actually know. Just like chocolate coated something.

It says on there. Oh, so you've got me kiwi poo chocolate coloured raisins. Yep. And then you've got sheep droppings, chocolate coated peanuts. Peanuts or raisins. That's what your choice is. Peanuts, raisins, peanuts, raisins. What do I want? I think I droppings, chocolate coated peanuts. Peanuts or raisins. That's what your choice is. Peanuts, raisins, peanuts, raisins. What do I want?

I think I'm going to go with peanuts. Yeah, right. Jenna can have the kiwi poo and you can have the sheep shit. You're so thoughtful, Mitchell. There's another thing, though. Hang on. Oh, wow. So literally the whole time I was in Queenstown, I kept seeing this gorgeous rock and crystal shop.

Oh, yeah. It was called Hetty's or something, which sounds like heterosexuals. I kept being like, oh, I want to pop in there. I want to pop in there. And then as I've got my suitcase, ordered the Uber to the airport, my friend goes, fuck, the crystal shop's right there. You should pop in while you've got a chance. The Uber was coming in four minutes.

I ducked in and got you and Jenna a little crystal. Oh, stop it. You went to Hetty's. Yeah, I went to Hetty's. So for you, I got the stone of Protection because you're in your slut era and I don't want you catching any nasty shit. Oh, lovely. It's just got one prep pill in it.

That's so sweet. It's like a little cluster of rocks, so it kind of looks like a ball sack too. It's perfect. It does. And it's like a metal mesh sack. Yeah. With like a whole bunch of different crystals in it. And the prices on there, Mitchell, that's not cheap.

Oh, shit, I didn't realise there's prices on there. That's all right. No, it's impressive. It's not supposed to be there. And then, Jenna, I got the stone of balance because, you know, she's a workaholic. She needs some balance. And she's a klutz, you know.

Yes, exactly. I'm going to wear this the whole show. Oh, gorgeous. Does it fit? It should. Oh, Mitchell, I love it so much. Have you tried your sheep shit? It'd be rude for me not to try them.

Because sheep are very famously Kiwi, right? I didn't see one sheep, can you believe? The whole time I was in New Zealand, I was keeping an eye out, did not see one sheep. The sheep droppings are delicious. Want to try one? Oh yeah, I may as well. Have one, yeah, go for it. By the way, that's not what sheep droppings actually

look like, I can vouch. Yeah, you would know, I guess. I've seen it. You would definitely know. Oh, Mitchell, I may as well. Have one, yeah. Go for it. By the way, that's not what sheep droppings actually look like, I can vouch. Yeah, you would know, I guess. I've seen it. You would definitely know. Oh, Mitchell, that's very sweet. I'm glad you had a fun time. Yeah. And we did miss you. I missed you.

It's like when you work with someone, we're basically in a partnership. I could finish your sentences, you could finish mine. I don't have to tee things up for you. No shade towards Louis, but it was, it was like not the usual. Are you saying he was hopeless? He was, well, I had an erection the whole time. So there was no blood in my brain. So I don't really remember what happened, but I do know that it got horny and everyone

said this was the horniest episode. Yeah. I've seen a few people say that. I think you guys are just flirting. So I remember saying, oh, is Louis single or not? Cause I couldn't remember. Is he? Louis is single and the episode dropped on his one year single anniversary.

Hey. And he spoke about it. There you go. Have you listened to the episode? No. Will you? So I did listen to like maybe the first five minutes of you and Louis together. And I realized maybe I'm not emotionally mature enough to listen to my podcast without me

because I just felt too FOMO-y and jealous. I was like, no, I can't do it. I can't do it. Oh, no, I get that. It's like seeing, you know, your ex for the first time. But he sounded good. And he said something about, he did compliment me and said like, oh, filling in, that's a lot of pressure.

Heavy is the head that wears the Mitchell Coombs crown, was what he said. And so I was like, great, I've got a compliment. I can stop listening now. He was very respectful of you, which was good. Which was good. All right. Well, should we start the show? Oh, we may as well.

I've got a belly full of sheep droppings and a ball sack around my neck. This is going to be the best show ever. Just how you like it. If it is your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show the same way. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. They're idjams. Mitch doesn't know my idjam.

I don't know his. And we riff. What's yours about this week? Mine is actually continuing on the horniness theme, I guess. It's an observation that I had of where I am the most horny, and I think it will truly shock you, but I also think people can relate. It's something like parked out of primary school, isn't it? Oh, come on.

Doctor's surgery. Come on. Oh, we've all seen those times. Don't say that. Oh, my God. Shocking. I know. The mal we've all seen those times. Don't say that. Oh, my God. Shocking. I know. The malpractice in those medical institutes.

I know. And it's all from like funsizeboys.com and shit. I'm like, stop it. Parenttrap.com. I'm like, what? And it always is like an anal examination. I'm like, that's an 18-year-old. He's got nothing wrong with his prostate.

It's so off. And they've got a clipboard. I'm like, what's on that clipboard? You don't want to know, mate. No, I really don't. So my age is kind of about the not so great things about the New Zealand trip, I guess, because it was beautiful. It was wonderful. But there was a couple of things that, you know, a couple of things that weren't fun. Okay.

I don't want to dwell on the negatives, but I am. All right. Well, then let's get yours over and done with, I think. Sure. Let's do it. We can get to my horniness later. Let's go. Is it just me or? Did anyone else get a little bit fucked over by Mercury in retrograde?

You've used this idiom before. Yeah. Well, Mercury is in retrograde every so often, and I still stand by it. Well, I'll have you know, we had Astro Tash, our astrologist, on the show and I'm immune to Mercury in retrograde. It doesn't affect me. I know, which is bullshit. I actually messaged her the other day because I didn't know Mercury was in retrograde.

And I was like, there's just so much disarray occurring in my life at the moment. What's happening? And so I literally messaged Astro Tash and I said, what's the go? And she goes, I've just read your chart really quick. And yeah, Mercury's come out of retrograde as of like the 16th or something. So it all added up. And it all depends on what time you were born and what place you're fucking rising sign, all that crap.

I don't know. But this particular retrograde just kind of affected travel and just general organization, which totally checked out because I kept losing everything. Oh, I don't think that's Mercury. I don't think it's got anything to do with the planet Mercury, Mitchell. Excuse me, am I not usually quite organised? You are. It's out of character for me to lose shit.

Yeah. First thing I lost was before I even left the country. I was at Sydney Airport. Yeah. I'd gotten past the point of, you know, checking in your bag, security, all that crap. I was near my gate waiting to fly to Queenstown. I popped to the bathroom and I felt my passport and boarding pass in my jacket pocket. And as I'm sitting down on the toilet, I was like, oh shit, I can't lose these. That would be really bad if these fell out of my pocket. So I'm going to put it on that ledge

thing above the toilet. And then of course I just got up, flushed, wandered off and left it there. I realised pretty quick though, shit, I left my passport in the toot. So I went back to the exact cubicle that I use. And some guy was sitting there doing a monstrous shit for 20 fucking minutes. And at one point he could tell that I was lurking outside the cubicle. He must have been able to see under the gap on the floor. He could just see my feet. And you're an anxious tapper.

You're an anxious waiter. So your foot would have been tapped. Yeah, I was pacing as well. I was pacing. And he just saw these little fucking white crocs at the toilet cubicle floor. And at one point, without getting up or pulling up his pants, he just opened the cubicle to look at me like, are you right? And I just went, hi, sorry.

I just wanted to look for my, slams the door. No. So he just looked at me like, can you stop lurking at the toilet? And so anyway, 20 minutes pass, he leaves. The passport wasn't even in there. Oh, no. And so I thought, fuck, fuck, fuck. Hopefully some good Samaritan has checked my pass, seen that I'm boarding at 55 and

put it there. Thankfully they did. Good. So I got it back. I got it back. Oh, someone took it to the lounge. Yes. Like they saw your gate.

They handed it to the staff because they saw what gate I was boarding at and I was like, oh, thank fuck. Logically, that's what I would have done. So I went and checked and they had it and they said, by the way, love your videos. And I was like, oh, fuck. Oh, very sweet. Very sweet.

Now they know that I'm an idiot. And so. Can I firstly just say, love you. That's not Mercury in retrograde. No, it's not. It's because you booked the trip the day before. That's just because you're stressed and you're unorganized. That's true.

So I'm not sold yet, but I'm willing to be convinced. Well, I don't normally do spontaneous travel, so it was a little bit too good to be true. I was like, surely something's going to go wrong because this has been so on a whim. I just had this gut feeling that something was going to go wrong. Okay. So the passport. Yep. The passport.

And then we get to New Zealand. I check into the room and then my friend and I are going out to dinner. And at some point I've lost A, my room key and B, my bank card. Oh, fuck. Yeah. The two most imperative items on a holiday. Literally. And it was out of hours and I was just fully preparing myself to sleep on the street.

I was like, this is the only option I have. Wait, did you lose your whole wallet or did they both just fall out? Well, I didn't want to lose the whole wallet, so I just took the two cards I needed, didn't I? But see, that's not like you. I know. That's very out of character. They would have just fallen out of my pocket because I had the head coat.

I was reaching for tissues all the time. And so I retraced my steps, went to the fucking pub. Nah, no sign of them. Where's your tuk bag? You normally carry your little bum bag. Oh, my mutt pack. Yeah, your mutt pack. No, I didn't take that with me.

I just took the two cards. But see, you normally have that. I know. And that's where you'd normally put it. Yeah, I know. That's true. This is very out of character. Well, I think that's the fucking plan.

It's just, you know, putting bad luck on my side. So I never recovered those. Thankfully, the 24-hour security guy let me into my room. So that was fine. So you lost your bank card in New Zealand? Yeah, I had to get a new one. Did you have to cancel it? Yeah.

Oh, my. That is the biggest fuck around. I actually wanted to kind a new one. Did you have to cancel it? Yeah. Oh, that is the biggest fuck around. I actually wanted to kind of catch them out. I didn't cancel it at first. I was like, I'm going to keep an eye on my transactions and see where they're spending my shit. But no one did after a few days. So I was like, right, I'll just cancel it.

And now I'm getting all these emails like, oh, your fucking phone bill failed because the card on file doesn't work. Oh, that's the fucking worst thing in the world. Such a pain. Yeah. Okay. The worst of it hasn't even come. So passport, bank card, room key, all things that I've lost,

very out of character. The planets are fucking with me. The worst example was when I got back to Sydney and, you know, I had an optometrist appointment recently. I do, yeah, you told me. Getting new prescription glasses. They'll look good. They'll reshape your face. I'm looking forward to it. There were two pairs. You told me. Getting new prescription glasses. They'll look good. They'll reshape your face.

I'm looking forward to it. There were two pairs of glasses I could choose between, two frames. Yeah. One of them was like 70% off. It was $90 or something. Bargain. The other one was like $500 and something. And I was like, oh, I really like the X-y one, don't I?

They're way cuter. They were like tortoise shell with a bit of black and blue. Gorgeous. Treat yourself. You wear them every day. Well, like tortoise shell with a bit of black and blue. Gorgeous. Treat yourself. You wear them every day. Well, that's the thing. I thought it's an investment. Yeah.

You know, I could have these for years. Even if I have to update the prescription, I can keep the frames. So fuck it. I'm going to splurge on the expensive glasses. Yeah. The $500 ones. Nice. And then they said, okay, $500 for the frames and now a further $300 for the lenses.

Oh, no. So we're talking, oh, what's that math shit? Eight. Eight hundred. Yeah, we're talking, oh, what's that maths shit? $800. Yeah, we're talking $800 glasses. They're gone. Oh, you lost the glasses? Mm-hmm. Oh, Mitchell.

They're gone. Where did you lose them? The airport? I don't know. No, this was back in Sydney. Oh, no. I actually don't know, but I've looked everywhere they could possibly be. And you splurged.

What did they look like? Did you have a selfie? I want to see. Yes. Again, I was doing detective work. There's photos of me that night at 5.30 in the afternoon wearing the gorgeous glasses. Oh, they're round. They look so nice on you.

Aren't they gorgeous, right? Oh, they're gorgeous. Gorgeous, yeah. And then by 6.30, there's a photo of me wearing my friend's sunglasses instead. So at some point I've taken them off, but I've got no idea where they are. Hang on. You're also on a rooftop, right? Yeah.

So this was just at my friend's place for pre-drinks. And then we went out and then I don't know where they could possibly be because the long story short is my friends are 90% convinced that my drink was spiked that night. And so that doesn't help with the lost glasses because I don't remember much of the night. Oh, well, then if your drink was spiked and your glasses are lost, I think you've got bigger fish to fry. Do you reckon that whoever spiked my drink was just jealous of the glasses and they wanted them?

I don't actually think that's how drink spiking works. I think they're normally after something else. Your drink was actually spiked, though. That's terrifying. Well, I don't actually have any proof, right? Basically, it wasn't until the next day that my friend said to me, we're pretty sure your drink was spiked because you weren't yourself at all. And also, I didn't even have that much to drink.

So you had pre-drinks and then you went out on Oxford Street. Yeah, I had a couple of wines with my friends and then went to a bar on Oxford Street. And I don't remember anything after that. Really? Yeah. Wait, this is genuinely scary. I don't know. I don't remember it. Okay, hold? Yeah. Wait, this is genuinely scary. I don't know. I don't remember it.

Okay, hold on. Have you been spiked before? Is that how you knew? No, no, no, no, no. So, you know me. Even if I've had a fuck ton to drink, I'm still mobile. I can get myself home. And I can recognize, oh shit, I better grab an Uber now.

I'm going to head home. You're strikingly capable. You can always get us to a porto. And I'm always so proud. Very high functioning, yeah. But yeah, apparently I was not at all. And this part I do remember. Yeah. I was trying to order an Uber, but I literally just couldn't do it. And it was kind of like an out of body experience where I was like, I know how to do this. Why can't I do it? And then I literally just blacked out in a fucking gutter.

Really? That's why I've got this bandage on my hand, by the way. I was wondering why you had a bandage. I cut my hand. I cut my elbow. I've got this mad fucking bruise. I hit my head. There's a bump on here because just out of nowhere, I was just sedated, literally, and just lost all mobility.

Were you with Sean? Were you with your friends? Well, at this point, I'd try to do the usual thing where I'd get myself home because I obviously registered. Ooh, I've had too much. This isn't good. I'm going to get home. But whatever was in the drink, if that did happen, must have been fucking kicking in at that point because that's when I just blacked out in a gutter. Oh my God, Mitchell. And then eventually, I don't remember this part. This is just what I've been told. Eventually, my friends FaceTimed me and they were like, where are you? What happened?

We're looking for you. We're worried. And I said, I don't know where I am. And then one of my friends, Clay, you know, he said, oh, I recognize the alleyway he's in. We can go find him because it was a FaceTime. And then they rescued me, sent me home. But I don't remember any of this. Oh, my fucking God.

So do you think, like, do you know who drunk you? I have no idea. But is there a turning point in the night that you remember going, oh, I'm fucked now? No, no, no. I think I was just that out of it that I didn't register that, you know, there was something off. But, yeah, my friends were saying, oh, no,

there was a drastic change in your whole demeanour. You went from being your normal self. Sure, you'd had a few drinks, but then all of a sudden you were incoherent, so out of it, dopey and just not good. And the next day I said, oh my God, that's so embarrassing. Cause we went to a second bar. I said, oh my God, that's so embarrassing. I didn't even make it to the second bar. I was so drunk. And they said, no, no, no, you were there. You came to the second bar. I was like, what? That's when it started to become really scary. I was like, I don't remember that.

Oh, my God. But point being, at some point in amongst all that drama, I've lost my brand new glasses. I've gone to the exact gutter I was concussed in. Not there. I've checked the rooftop. I've checked my friend's house, checked all the bars. Nothing.

Oh, my God. I've even done the missing property thing with the police. Nothing. They're gone. And this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Mercury and fucking retrograde. My point there is I don't think Mercury the planet slipped something into your drink at a bar on Oxford Street.

I think it did, actually. I don't think that's possible. It makes perfect sense. You think they used gravity to hover a pill and drop it into your drink? Gravity, ketamine, same thing. Who knows? I'm glad you're safe. That's very worrying.

That's very worrying. Yeah, no. I was a bit like, that don't think so. I'm glad you're safe. That's very worrying. That's very worrying. Yeah, no. I was a bit like, that can't be right. What would anyone have to gain from spiking my drink? But then later I googled the symptoms or like how to know that your drink has been spiked and I was like, oh shit. How are you feeling about it? That's scary though.

I mean, I don't know. There's nothing I could have done differently. Was Sean there? No, he wasn't there that night. Oh, that would have made, was he upset that he wasn't there to protect his man? Oh, well, he was there the next day to pick up the pieces. Yeah, of course. He didn't pick up the glasses, did he, bastard?

No. He couldn't find them. He tried, but we literally can't find them. That is the worst feeling when you've lost something, especially something new or something of value that pisses me right off and they're just gone forever. Absolutely gone. Or even better when you find them like decades later and it's like, oh. Well, that's the thing.

People have been trying to reassure me. In fact, idiots listening right now, can you please let us know if you have any happy ending stories about losing shit and then them eventually turning up to give me some hope that my gorgeous new glasses will return. Because Sean was trying to make me feel better and goes, I lost my wallet once and then I found it in the fridge. So, like, don't worry. You could find it in the most random place.

And I thought, I'm not as stupid as you though. No, I'm switched on, Sean. That's the difference. I may have been spiked and delirious, but surely I wouldn't put my glasses in the fucking fridge. Well, I have one that'll make you feel better. This is insane. My mum and dad just got married.

This was like in the 90s. I thought you meant now. I was like, oh, have they been living in a tent all this time? No, they haven't. They got married and their friends had a boat and they were like, let's go out and celebrate on the boat. It was like the week after the wedding. And they were on the boat in Sydney Harbour.

And it's one of those big boats that you stay the night. So they were drinking, Aperol, getting all tipsy the afternoon. Mum is dancing on the back of the boat and she's covered in sunscreen, flings her hands in the air. Her wedding ring flies off in the air, plop, lands in the Sydney Harbour, sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Oh, shit. Bottom of the ocean.

See, that's a write-off. You don't bother looking for that. Well, Murray, the family friend that was there, went, no, no, he's a diver. He dives. So he went, I'm going to get this ring. Well, like, did he need to have his oxygen and shit on? No, no. They were by a bay, by a beach.

Oh, okay. They were probably 200 metres out. So it was deep enough for you to get to. Anyway, he spent all that day diving, didn't find it. They went to bed. He woke up the next morning and went, you know what? I'm just going to do a couple more dives. He's like me.

He's not ready to let go and move on. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm still in denial. I still like to think my glasses will turn up. Well, get this. He dove down and he came back up with mum's wedding ring. He found it the next day in the ocean. The ocean. Maybe I should keep looking. Maybe I should keep looking.

Should we get in an Uber to Oxford Street and do the rest of the show, waltzing up and down on hands and knees? Well, I have a feeling that maybe they came off in the gutter. And maybe because I was struggling to use my phone, I took them out of the glasses case because, oh, this is the other part of the story. Sorry. I'm lost. I'm still dopey after the spiking. I was going to say, have you had a drink in front of you?

No. So the next morning when I finally woke up, the first thing I thought was, oh my God, I've got all these cuts and graces on my body. I must have fallen over. I hope I didn't crush my new glasses. Went to my Mutt Pack, got them out, and it's just an empty case. So I have a feeling that maybe when I was blacking out, trying my hardest to order an Uber, but I just couldn't do it.

I might have put the glasses on to try and see more clearly. Yeah. They fell off, and then the fucking street sweeper took them at 5 a.m. the next morning. Should I call City of Sydney? Can you call street sweepers? Do street sweepers pick up the remains, or do they just blow them into the abyss? Oh, that's a good point. They don't vacuum them.

It just flings them up. Maybe they're on like a streetlight in Oxford Street. I hope so. And so that's why I want to hear stories like that to give me hope that maybe they'll just reappear. One of my friends told me that she had a pair of glasses go missing and turned up three years later. Yeah. Just in a different handbag. Yes, Maddie McCann's parents are

still looking, you know. They're still hopeful. Just be like Jerry McCann, all right? 19 years later, someone's going to come out impersonating my glasses, claiming to be them. And I'm like, bullshit, that's not my glasses. Doesn't have the eye freckle. They're not my Oscar Wileys. All right, slide into our DMs, idiots.

We'd love to hear your stories. When did you find something? Years after. Or not even years. Could be weeks. Just make Mitchell feel better. I want to get these stories on the podcast next week because I want to know how long do I leave it before ordering the new pair.

True, true. I love you. It's not Mercury in retrograde. It fucking is. All of this bad luck at once? Are you serious? I've had a great couple weeks. Oh, that must be nice.

I've had a great couple weeks. No, it's not Mercury. It's not the planets. It's you. All right. Well, actually my- What do you mean it's me? I didn't spike my own drink.

Fuck you. Well, you know- Allegedly. You did have Louis on the show last week. You needed something to talk about. You went, I'm going to spike my drink to come back with a bang. Trust me, I didn't do that on purpose. No, I know, I know.

And are you actually okay? That is very scary. I'm fine now, but I went through all the motions of like, oh, no, that didn't happen, as if that happened. And then I felt a little bit violated at one point because I was like, oh my God, I think it actually did happen. But then I'm like, well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm a bit scared of drinking now.

Yeah, no, I would be too. I've got questions for you that we'll talk about off the show. Yeah. Okay. All right. Shall I do my agent? Yeah, I'm ready. Is it just me or?

Do you believe that the horniest place on earth is the airport? Do you know what? For some reason, I recall feeling fucking horny at the airport. Thank you. Thank you. And I thought to myself, what's this about? I'm not even just making this up to go along with you. I remember thinking, why am I a bit tubby at the moment?

I haven't told you this. You don't know what I'm about to say. Wow. I am telling you, I have never felt more horned up than at the airport. I have never seen this densely packed group of people that are so attractive. Like per head, there are more attractive people at the airport than there are walking the street. There are gorgeous men and women walking by. And I think my science is that it's got something to do with a fleeting moment because everyone is going somewhere at an airport.

And it's kind of anonymous. You can just be anyone. Yes. You could lie to them and say, I'm a dentist. 100%. Let's fuck in the bathroom. Yes. And it's kind of, you know, when you see someone on the street, you kind of, you walk past

them, you go, they were gorgeous. You never see them again. That's what happens at an airport. Or what if you end up on their flight? Oh my God, that's never happened. But wouldn't that be beautiful? That's how Sophie Monk met her husband. That is true. I loved that story. Yeah. She sat next to him on a flight and Oh my God. That's never happened. But wouldn't that be beautiful? That's how Sophie Monk met her husband. That is true.

I loved that story. Yeah. She sat next to him on a flight and they got married. I know. They were just like, do you want a champagne? And then do you want to make out? Oh, that is my dream. That is my actual dream.

I was going to say, me too, but I've got a boyfriend. You're doing just fine. Who, by the way, speaking of horniness and airport, Sean's one of those nerdy types that likes to keep an eye on flight tracker. Of course. I love that. He's like, send like nerdy types that likes to keep an eye on flight tracker. Of course. He loves, he's like, send me a flight number. I'll track it. And he'll like text me when he knows the reception's going out of range.

He says, bye. Apparently, as soon as my flight left Australia, one of his exes slid into his DMs and was like, hey, Sean, you down for a fuck? Like tried to hook up with him. And he was like, no, no, I'm faithful to my partner. Thank you. He's got a fucking air tag on you, that ex. It was so weird.

The moment that your flight took off the tarmac, his ex was in the DMs. So the airport horniness just somehow transcended. I'm telling you. You know what else it could be? Because I've given it a lot of thought. I've tried to work out the science. It could be sweatpants, like a tracksuit. Everyone's dressed really comfy.

That's true. No one's dressing to impress. No one's dressing to impress, no way. Everyone's got headphones on, they're kind of listening to music. Everyone is often really excited because they're going somewhere. Or they're a little bit tipsy because they're like, it's five o'clock somewhere. 100%. It is international

waters when you're at the airport. And there's always a random German brewery at an airport. I'm like, I'll go get a fucking Lohenbrau. I don't care. Wait, so have you been at the airport recently? When I went to Melbourne, yes. I wrote this idiom in my notes when I was in Melbourne. I think you were pretty horny even when you left the airport.

You were just horny in general, darling. That's a good point. Yeah, good point. Is it just me? That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? All right, Mitchell, shall we go to Hobart, Tasmania? I'd love to.

That wasn't an open invitation. Oh, I thought you wanted to head to the airport, you know what I'm saying? Hey, you and I, I mean, we revealed last week that I've tried to sleep with you in the early days. Didn't try that hard. I don't think you picked up on the signs. Well, no, because you were straight. Why would I think that you were flirting with me? But you are my type and genuinely you would have known.

You weren't out of the closet. I wasn't. If I picked up any signals about, oh, he's flirting with me, I would have stomped them out of my brain like, oh, don't be silly, Mitchell. This is a straight man. He's not flirting with you. This is friendly.

I thought you were going to be, I would have stomped you with my ass. I would have railed you in the workplace then and there. No, because you weren't out anyway. If I was out, would you have accepted the date offer? You didn't make one, but hypothetically. Maybe. In a hypothetical world. Maybe. I think we definitely would have. Oh, I don't know if I would have. We were young. Were? How dare you? I was young. All right. Well, let's go to Hobart, Tasmania. Actually, we're going to Sandy Bay now.

We have Claire joining us for an Is It Just You? Hello, Claire. Hello, Claire. Hello. Oh, I got a soft spot in my heart for a Claire. My nan's name is Claire. I was about to say, I was really sad when you died in McLeod's Daughters, darling. Oh, yeah, it was a terrible time.

Shocking, Claire. What's it like in Sandy Bay? Is it cold at this time of year? No, it's getting better. It's getting better. We're coming out of winter, so life is livable now. So, yeah, it's good. It looks beautiful.

I always Google the suburbs and we've got a colour on. Sandy Bay looks lovely. Is it sandy? Is it a lot of beach? It's not especially sandy. Well, it's right near a beach. So, it's right near a beach. So, I believe that's why they call it Sandy Bay.

It's not especially sandy. I just think they were struggling to think of a name. They're like, yeah, there's sand here, I guess. Imagine being the prick that comes up with suburb names. I know. What? Yep, sand. We're in Nira Bay.

Tick. Yeah, not very inventive, that's for sure. I can imagine, Claire. All right, well, we're going to get you on. Bradley will count you in and then hit us with your regim, okay? Cool. Is it just me, or...? Are you getting some pretty serious neck wrinkles

from sleeping weird? Oh. Wait, wait, wait. Is that what causes it? Neck wrinkles? Yes, yes. Literally, if you sleep with your chin down and, like, curled up,

you get, like, a neck wrinkle across the middle of your neck. I'm only in my 20s. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The middle at the back? No, at the front. Oh. If you sleep with your neck down.

Yeah, with your chin down. If you go do it now, put your chin down and to the side, there'll be a crease in your neck. If you sleep like that every night, you develop a big old neck wrinkle. Whereabouts on the neck? I've got it. Oh, I have one in the middle. And then because I turn my chin to the side and down, it's like kind of on my collarbone as well.

Fuck you, Mitchell just saw my neck wrinkle and went, oh. No, I just, it finally clicked. I was like, now I know what you mean. It just looks like where you might have a choker on. Is that the area you're talking about? Yeah, yeah, legit. Yeah. Oh, well, I've got one, but that's normal. No, you don't have one at all. But I thought it was recommended in terms of posture that you do a slight chin tuck.

That's like good for your neck rather than having it arched. I don't know about that. I heard that you should sleep on your back and straight, like not on your side. Do you know what? I've always been a side sleeper because I find back sleeping just absurd. But the other day I was having a nap, couldn't get to sleep and I thought, I'm going to try it. I slept on my back and I was out within 10 seconds. I'm not even kidding. I think I've been converted. I can't sleep on my back because of my Chiari malformation,

my brain thing. I literally can't put pressure on the back of my brain. So my only options are stomach left, right. That's it. Stomach? Oh, I'm a major stomach sleeper. Where do you put your head? I could never. My head to the side. Sometimes left, right. That's it. Stomach? Oh, I'm a major stomach sleeper. Where do you put your head? I could never. My head to the side. Sometimes just straight in. That seems really uncomfortable. No, and sometimes I'll get my hands, put them under the pillow and cuddle it.

Oh, it's gorgeous. I've got the neck wrinkle though, but it's not really a wrinkle. It's more of a crease, Claire. Come on. I mean, is it a crease if it doesn't go away when you're not creasing though? That's a good point. I think it's a wrinkle. You're going to give me a complex, Claire.

Come on, Claire, complex. I know. I'm sorry to project, guys. I have my apologies. But, you know, the thing is there's nothing wrong with aging and getting wrinkles, right? But, like, not when you sleep, all funny. I did just do a quick Google, and there are, of course, people cashing in on this. There's little reusable patches you can wear to bed to try and get rid

of the wrinkle or avoid. Oh, I've Googled it too. Oh damn, I need that. Neck firming pads. Oh, come on. Can I tell you, it's one of those things that no one notices. Claire, if you're going to live your life worried about your neck wrinkle, you're going to live a sad life. Just don't even worry. I get that. But what happens when you keep sleeping in a funny way and you're 60 and they're so deep that it's like, you know,

I think it's something to prevent. It's worth noting. Claire, yeah, you want other people to learn from your mistakes. If only you'd been told. I'm on, Claire. I'm on your profile. I can't see a thing on that. Grow up, Claire.

Yeah, Claire, I've got to say, just generally speaking, I wouldn't worry too much about wrinkles. But, yeah, I know what you mean. You're like, damn it, I wish someone had given me this hack beforehand because now the damage is done. You're beautiful, Claire. Yeah, true. Oh, thank you.

Likewise. I agree. Thank you. You're very pretty. Well, thank you, Claire, for coming on and giving us all complexes. Yeah, thanks. That's just what we need. Another thing for me to overthink.

Perfect. Yeah, no worries, guys. That's what I'm here for. All right. I'm going to go back on my Tinder now and delete every photo with a neck wrinkle in it. And I've just ordered the bulk turtlenecks from Amazon. No, you're right. No one ever notices that.

No. No one ever notices. You're right. Thanks, Claire. Now, Claire, before we let you go, don't worry. Prizekeeper Jenna, just because she's not here, she's still doing a duty. So send a DM to Couple of Mitches to claim your prize. I will.

Thanks, guys. Pleasure. We love you, Claire. Enjoy Sandy Bay. You too, bye. You can get in touch. Send us a DM if you want. Couple of Mitches and we'll get you on the show. And also, if you want to do an Is It Just You of Your Own, you can text us on our brand new number, 04222 948 202. Yeah.

I didn't do that with Louis last week because I forgot. I don't know the number. I actually did wonder that. I was like, I wonder if he just never mentioned the number because he can't remember. I didn't remember it. It's down the bottom of our episode descriptions if anyone ever needs it.

I didn't even know we had an episode show notes. I didn't know they were a thing. I've never read them in my life. I don't know how to read. I'd love to read, but I lost my glasses. Oh, fucking hell, here we go again. Alright, so there's something that I've noticed

that I do that I've never been able to put into words. And have you ever had an experience like this, Mitch, or any idiots listening where you hear someone talk about an experience they've had and you go, oh my God, that is me to a T, but I've never been able to articulate it. Yeah. That's kind of the point of this podcast.

Is it just me? Oh, that's a good point. And so if we can't put it into words, we're fucked. I know. And someone else has them. So we steal the content and we talk about it. It's not that we're stealing the content. This TikTok, he's a comedian.

I did some research. He's very funny. Posted this to his TikTok account. And it is something that I have thought my whole life and has reared its head again recently because I've been going out, I've been clubbing, I've been singing, I've been listening to happy music. Even, you know, at the height of the breakup when I was listening to sad music, this was an issue for me. But how to listen to this?

When I listen to music, I have to make a real effort to hear the lyrics. I hear somebody singing as an instrument. So it's like when you're singing, I go like, and then someone's like, you know what this song's about? And I'm like, no. I have to really pay attention because the voice singing to me, to my ear registers as almost like the strings or the drum. Essentially, he listens to

music and hears the lyrics as an instrument that is the problem that i've had my whole life i listen to a song and i can never retain the lyrics and recently going out i was clubbing on the weekend and i was belting this i was belting olivia rodrigo vampire. I know all the words to that song, but I couldn't sing any. But what I could do was go, Vampire made me dry like a goddamn vampire. I think that's kind of normal though, isn't it? If someone's singing along to a song and they don't know the words

to a particular part, they just kind of mumble and pick up where they left off once they remember the words. Definitely, but the way my brain hears it, like when I'm in the car, I will just I won't use lyrics. I will just, I won't use lyrics. I will be, I will just sound like a bumbling idiot. I'll go. Yeah, that's true.

I'm different where I don't sing along if I don't know the words. Oh no, I will confidently sing along. I haven't actually noticed that about you. I will just babble. You're trying to sing Defying Gravity the other week. Oh, well, I had the lyrics up on the screen and someone got mad at me. Oh, they just called you out and said, cheater. What a fake fan.

Fuck yourself. I'm not, you know, a Glinda stan. But that is what I want to work on. And I actually think I'd love to be challenged. I want a song and I want to go and learn the lyrics so I can go to a club and I can fire it out and I can rap and I can spit the lyrics. I think it's so impressive when you're dancing with someone and they know all the words to a song. I go, how do you do that?

Such a superpower. Yeah, but not if they sort of command the attention of the room to be like showing off. Look at me. I know all the words. Oh, no, no, no, no. That would never be me. But, you know, I'm dancing with you and one of our favorite songs comes on. Like if Tension by Kylie Minogue came on, I'd want to dance it.

I'd want to be up and dancing and I'd want to know all the words so I can just kind of like sing along. That's not, I'm not capable. Well, how bad are you at remembering lyrics? Because like the National Anthem, for example. Do you know that off by heart now? I think, yeah, but that's because it was drummed into me. No, no, no. That's not what I want to learn.

So even you're saying your favourite songs, the ones that you hear repeatedly, you just don't absorb the lyrics. You just hear the tune. I'm a commercial radio presenter, yes. Yeah, so you listen to it and play a lot of music. All the time. My favourite song at the moment is Dance of the Night, Dua Lipa, from the Barbie soundtrack. Oh, God, that one's way overplayed, no offence.

So you'd think, yeah, Mitch will know the lyrics to every single word in that song? You'd think I would. No idea. Actually, honestly, no, because it's kind of passive listening if it's just in the background on the radio. You wouldn't be paying full attention to everything you're playing. You'd be fucking around behind the scenes when a song's on, preparing for what's on

air. All right. So don't be too hard on yourself. No. I think it's normal not to know every word. I want to test myself. What's a song that I can use? I think Padam Padam is, I mean.

Surely you'd know that. 100% I think I'd know that. Why don't you instead put some headphones on and play. I've got headphones on. I was in like maybe your AirPods underneath. Basically, play music that I can't hear and only your ears can hear and then sing along out loud and I'll see if I can guess what song it is. Oh, that's fun.

Because if you know the words, I'll pick it up. But even if you're just mumbling the tune, I should pick it up, right? That's a good idea. I don't have my AirPods with me. Oh, do you want mine? Yeah, can I borrow them? I'm so nervous. I am telling you, there is nothing more attractive to me than someone who knows all the words

to a song at a club. Really? Oh, it's such a turn on. It's like, look at them. If they're that attentive to a pop song, imagine what they'd be like with me. You know what I've had to start doing? What? Because I would confidently belt

out songs at the top of my lungs, sing along at clubs. And there was probably an egotistical part of me that wanted everyone to hear how gorgeous I think my voice is. And I kept losing my voice. So now I'm like a pro lip syncer. If you see me singing at a club, there's no sound coming out of my mouth. Oh my God. That's a good thing. It'll be like Katy Perry's firework. And I'm there like, Oh my God, that's a good thing. It'll be like Katy Perry's Firework and I'm there like, Baby, you're fire. Wait, do you not actually sing?

No, because I kept losing my voice. I actually sing. Does everyone sing? I think most people do. Oh yeah, good. But I've had to stop because obviously I've got a bitch of a throat that can't handle it. Of course. Okay, I'm going to sing a song and your job,

oh, it's playing an ad. Hold on. Excuse me, I pay for YouTube Premium. What the fuck? Oh no, my's playing an ad. Hold on. Excuse me, I pay for YouTube Premium. What the fuck? Oh, no, my card's lost. That's why. My YouTube Premium told me it couldn't make the payment. Damn you, Mercury in Retrograde.

All right, are you ready? Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, it's playing. Okay. Okay. Give me... Here we go. I feel so untouched that I want you on top so my, I just can't be with you. None of them that I get you.

I'm waving. He's got his eyes closed. He can't tell. My eyes were closed. Yes? Stop. I've guessed it. Obviously that's untouched.

Yeah, correct. Well done. So I can still decipher it from the gibberish, but what you're saying is that you want to learn a song off my heart. I want to learn a song that I can just be so hot in a club and be singing and dancing and people think, look at him, he knows the words. You know what song I'd be really impressed if someone could nail the words?

You know that song Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani? Oh, it's a hot song. You might have to put it on actually. I can put it on, yeah. One that's like, woo-hoo. Woo-hoo! There's a really fast bit that I can never nail. If you can learn that by next week.

Okay, that's my challenge? Okay, I can get that. So this is, oh. I might know it. Let's try. Is it at the end? No. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here we go. This is the hard bit. You can learn this. Okay. Here we go. That's what I do every time. I go. Okay, done. That's it. I accept the challenge.

And you're not allowed to read the lyrics. Shit. No, I'm allowed to read. What do you mean? In preparation? No, when you do your recital. Oh, good. I was going to say, how am I going to fucking decode that?

How often do you reckon they're going to play this song at the club, though, for you to show off? I know. I've got to say, it is quite a satisfying feeling when there's a point in the song that no one else knows the words, but you remember. Oh, is there one that you have? Yeah. What is it? I know every word to Shut Up by Black Eyed Peas, thanks to SingStar. Oh, of course.

SingStar, doing the heavy lifting. Do it, do it. I want to hear it. Girl, you and me were just fine. You know, we went and done. Did them things that couple do when in love. You know, walk on the beach and surf. You know, things that lovers say and do.

I love you, boo. I love you, too. I miss you a lot. I miss you even more. That's why I flew you out when we was on tour. God, I'm puffed. Wow. Rapping's not easy.

I told you. If I wasn't attracted to you five years ago, I am today. All right, challenge accepted. That is my song. You really think that's hot when people know lyrics? It just, yeah. The bar is so low for you. Many other things come into play, but that is one thing that just adds,

that tickles me. It's a green flag in my eyes. All right. Song challenged. I'm performing next week, am I? Are you happy to take on that Sweet Escape song? Just that part. No, the whole, I reckon the whole first verse.

Okay. Up to that. Up to that. Yeah. My sweet. Yeah. Okay. Done.

And the first chorus, you may as well. Okay. Oh my God. Good luck. Get studying. Fuck, I'm an idiot. I've given myself homework. The one thing I hate the most in this world.

I know. Mercury retrogrades Fuck, I'm an idiot. I've given myself homework. The one thing I hate the most in this world. I know. Mercury retrogrades fuck with you too, clearly. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Listening on Spotify. Don't forget to leave a five-star rating. All right, before we go, can I just cast your mind back to quite a few episodes ago? We're talking episode 143. No, you've lost me.

The title was called Silly Goose. Oh, I remember that. You were trying to launch your Silly Goose era. Yes. Operative word being trying. I was just saying I want to be more silly, you know? I used to be so silly and now I've become such a fucking sensible adult. I need more silliness.

Well, that era really didn't take off. Much like my walking era. All my eras, just no one embraces them. But the reason I bring this up is because you and I, Mitch, now have the same therapist. We do. I had her first, I will just say. She was mine and then I referred you.

She's great. Yeah, and you sold it to me by saying she actually specialises and has done a lot of research in the area of creative types. Yes. Yeah, she works with creative brains and minds. Yeah, that's how I found her. And so you were talking on the podcast a few weeks ago saying that you might break up with your therapist because it wasn't

resonating anymore. And I was like, I'm about to go to my first appointment and you're telling me she's shit now. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. I never want another therapist until the day I die. Oh yay! I've never felt so understood. She just gets it.

She just gets it. She gets how my silly little brain works. I agree. I agree. And the reason I bring up the silly goose era is because she said to me, now one thing that the creative brave needs. That's a good impression. It's playfulness. That's a great impression. By the way, bit fucked that she has the most softly spoken voice

and her office is on this really, really dense traffic. The most busy highway ever. So I'm sitting there at the window with all these trucks blaring behind me going, what? She's like, you need to cut me in the mic. And I'm like, pardon? She does also keep it really toasty in there. It's really warm.

And she goes, I understand you. You're looking anxious. You're looking flushed in the cheeks. I'm like, no, doctor. It's fucking hot in here. It's 35 degrees in here, mate. I'm not well physically. Okay, so what she suggested.

What she was saying in her soft voice was, what the creative brain needs is playfulness to release, I don't know, endorphins, whatever. Certain shit. You need playfulness. And I was like, what do you mean playfulness? You mean like being a silly goose? And she goes, well, yes, I suppose so. And so you need to lean on other people during this time of burnout recovery to push you into being more playful

and more silly. And I was like, shit, maybe she has a point because, like, I'm always daring other people to do things. I'm playful in the sense that I'm like, Oi, Oscar, dare to go fuck with that person. Totally. You do it to me too. Yeah, I do it to you too, but no one ever does it to me.

And so my literal fucking therapist, our literal fucking therapist, has said that I need other people to dare me to do playful slash silly shit. So this is where we're at. Oh, my God. You didn't support the silly goose era 1.0, but silly goose era 2.0 is actually doctor prescribed, therapist prescribed. Yeah, by our therapist. Yes. Are you suggesting this just for you or is this a dual thing? is actually doctor prescribed, therapist prescribed. Yeah, by our therapist.

Yes. Are you suggesting this just for you or is this a dual thing? Well, just for me because she said that I need to lean on others to make me more playful. All right. Do you want to do something right now? Should you be a bit rogue and be a bit naughty? I'm very tired today. All I'm saying is you and our darling idiots listening,

hit me with dares. Okay. Hold on. I've got a great idea. I've got homework for my song that I need to learn. Right. Like I'm a drag queen. I'm about to be eliminated from Drag Race.

I've got to learn my words. You, we're going to come back and we're going to have dares for you next week. Okay. Do I do them on the podcast? Yeah. Well, you're leaning on me, so don't worry. Fuck, that's more homework for me. I don't want to prepare. Oh, I'm an idiot. Well, you're leaning on me, so don't worry. Fuck, that's more homework for me. I don't want to prepare.

Oh, I'm an idiot. Well, not really. You're just saying, Mitch, do this. Do this. That's hardly preparation. That's basically the show. I mean, you're going to have to collect the dares, though. That's all right.

Okay, hold on. No, no, this is brilliant. Mitchell, you're leaning on me. Relax. You're in burnout recovery, all right? Thank you. Calm down. Idiots, message me personally, at Mitch Turi.

Oh, okay. And some dares for Coombs, and I'll bring them to him on the show next week. And if you've got props or if you need things, I can source or I can organise. Also, next week's my birthday. Oh, I remember. Don't worry. I've given myself so much homework for my birthday. All right, next week we're going to collate the dares.

What do you want to see, hear, or watch Mitchell Coombs do? Nothing too fucking extreme. But I'll give you an example. So there's this TikToker named Maddie Cleary, and she's posting a series at the moment, Becoming Immune to Fear. I've seen these. Which is essentially exposure therapy, like doing things so that if you repeatedly do it and nothing went wrong the

first time, you unlearn to feel danger in certain situations. So she's just basically making a fool of herself in public on purpose. And some of these things, I'm like, that's very up my alley. It's the sort of thing I'd dare someone else to do, but I'd never do. What is she doing? What are some examples? I'll give you an example. So this one is go through a drive-thru and sing what you want to order from the menu.

Is that not me as fuck? That's brilliant. Hello, I want a one. Can I try a big neater caramel today? No, thank you. What would you like? Can I please get a spicy chicken sandwich? Just a sandwich?

Yes, please. And a labia? And a side of ranch. She looks so uncomfortable, by the way. She hates doing this. I actually think he's laughing too. Right, she's pulling around to the window. Thank you.

Can I get an extra ranch? I hope y'all ate that up. I hope y'all devoured that. Oh, that is right up your alley. I know, but I would never do that because I would find it funny watching someone else do it. I don't have the guts, but apparently a therapist is telling me as a creative type in order to release the correct brain fucking chemicals

or whatever, I need to start doing these things. Oh, I'm so here for this, Mitchell. I'm so here for this. All right, let's get the silly goose era back. Lean on me. I will hold you up with silly goose dares. And so will the idiots. Idiots, DM me.

Don't DM the page. You can if you want, but I don't want Mitchell seeing these dares. And if you don't want to get amongst it, then I'll just assume you don't give a flying fuck about my mental health. That's fine. No, lean on those you love. So you lean on me. Don't worry about anyone else. I love you and I'm here for you.

It's okay. You know what I did do the other day? Yeah. I was telling my friends about this and you know how people pull things out of a hat. Yeah. We got like two bowls. One bowl was situations. The next one was locations or like, you know, activities and locations.

Yeah. And so we'd pick them out at random and see what matches we got. Oh. Do you want to hear some of the ones we got? Please. This is good. All right. We've got play Frisbee.

That was the scenario. And then the location, Darling Harbour at dusk. So play Frisbee at Darling Harbour at dusk. Okay. And then we've got where Hive is and control nearby traffic at the library. I love that. So that could be foot traffic at the library. I love that. So that could be foot traffic in the library. And we're just there in high vis going, ma'am, sorry, could you not loiter?

No, returns are actually here. We could get you to filter through. Fuck. This is fun. What else did you get? Day drinking, wearing cowboy attire at the airport. We'll be horned up. I know.

Do a HSC practice English exam at a Chinese restaurant. I was like, fuck that. We're not doing that. Who wrote do a HSC practice English exam? I can't remember who wrote that. We all just like put them in there together. Oh, that's really funny. So that's the sort of silliness we're aiming for.

Okay. That's what we can do. That's what we can do. Lean on us. We've got you, Mitch. A specific scenario at a specific location. Okay. Done. Deal. We can do that. Now, don't forget your do. Lean on us. We've got you, Mitch. A specific scenario at a specific location. Okay. Done.

Deal. We can do that. Now, don't forget your homework. It gets thanks. Now, well, this is the end of the show, so we'll get out of here. However, so much homework. Don't forget you asked for stories of when you lost something and then found it again. Yeah.

So messages if that's happened to you. Also messages if you've got a prank for Mitchell. Yeah, that's it. Not a prank. A dare. Oh, and I've got my homework. So that's what I'm getting confused with. Yeah. There's a lot of homework. I've got a prank for Mitchell. Yeah, that's it. Not a prank, a dare. Oh, and I've got my homework. So that's what I'm getting confused with. There's a lot of homework.

I've got no homework, really. No, you just relax, turn up next week, and you'll be a silly little goose. How gorgeous. Well, you know, my... This is good for my mental health. I'm not stressed. I agree.

Are you feeling not stressed? I've got enough homework on my plane. I'm doing my Brisbane comedy shows this weekend. Oh, my God. Enjoy the show. The show will have been done by the time this is out. Yeah, they'll be done and dusted by the time this is out. Yeah, well, if you went and saw Mitch on the weekend, I hope you enjoyed it. Can't wait to hear your reviews.

Chook is for the show, though. Thank you. Because this is before it's happened. Yeah. That'll be great fun. Yeah, no, Brisbane lands always kind of be my favourite. So it should be fun. You have said whenever you come back from Brisbane, Vegas, he goes, I think I could

live in Brisbane, Mitchell. He says it every time. In Adelaide. It turns out a lot of people there are quite conservative. So I'm like, shit, why do I resonate so much with this place? Maybe not. All right. We love you.

Get in touch. Couple of Mitches. DM me if you want to prank Mitch and we will see you all. Not prank. Dare. Oh, dare. Sorry, dare. Dare.

Although if you want to fucking prank me, go for gold. Good luck. That's silly goose. I've tried. I've never done it on the show. Yeah, no. I don't think you've tried. I think I have, but I've just-

You've tried to prank me? Terrible. I think I've tried to plan it and it never worked and I the show. Yeah, no, I don't think you've tried. I think I have, but I've just... You've tried to prank me? Terrible. I think I've tried to plan it and it never worked and I freaked out. Right, okay. You know, I've never been pranked at all on any of the podcasts I've done. I'm always fucking with others. Because we're terrified of pranking you. But I'm also kind of off pranks in general at the moment, so...

I think prank culture's changed. We haven't done a prank all year, have we? No, we haven't. Doc Wiggins, she had that fall, so she's recovering. Yeah, yeah. She's fine, but... Yeah, she's had that fall, so she's recovering. Yeah, yeah. She's fine. Yeah, she's non-verbal. At the moment.

Yeah. The only word she can remember is, Hell! That's very high pitch from Doc. That's because that's the medication. All right, we'll see you guys next week. Have a great one. Thanks for listening to the show.

Catch you soon. Thanks for listening, idiots. Love you, bye. Bye-bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast

app. Welcome to AD Debrief. This is our secret segment on the end. Did you have to introduce AD Debrief without me last time? Yes. Idiots, did you find it weird? Because I found it weird. I actually didn't nail it.

I didn't know what to say. I said, welcome to AD Debrief. Oh, Mitchell does this normally. I don't know what he says. I've only said it 160 times. Sometimes we fuck around, nothing's scripted. I didn't know what to say. You really don't absorb lyrics or words.

I don't. I'm telling you, I'm not well. Did you just absorb the cadence of how I say it rather than what I actually say? Yes. Welcome to ADD Brief. Yes. That's exactly what I do. I hear words as lyrics.

I get it now. I'm not well. You know what's so funny? Our therapist is so unconventional because she is the one that told me to go and go on dates and go on the apps. Yeah. How's that unconventional? Well, I mean-

I think she could see what was best. Fresh out of, well, five months out of a breakup and she went, I think you need to go on the apps. I just don't think that's something that someone would normally suggest. I'm not sure. I don't know. No, I like it. She gives very, very specific advice.

Yeah, she does. She's like, oh, you do two barre classes a week? Throw a yoga in there as well. God. Can don't know. No, I like it. She gives very, very specific advice. Yeah, she does. She's like, oh, you do two bar classes a week? Throw a yoga in there as well. God. Can do. Easy. She was telling me what muesli bars to eat at one point. Yeah.

Yeah. No, she's good. Thanks, dog. That's what I need. How cute is the receptionist too when they text you? It's so easy. I'm like you with lyrics. I don't absorb faces.

I don't remember. Oh, I do. I know. I talk to everyone. Yeah, true. I don't remember. I'm good with faces, actually. If I saw her in the street, it'd bother me for hours.

I'm like, where have I seen that bitch before? Oh, interesting. Where have I seen her before? Oh, no. Straight away. Yeah. I will know. I've only been to one appointment so far.

Oh, really? Yeah, she's bloody busy. She's hard to get. I'm on the cancellation list. I'm on the cancellation list, too. We're fighting. We're fighting for spots. I wonder who's higher on the list.

I cancelled the other day. Did you? Yeah, so you may have got. Oh, you really have won. I must be so low on the list. I cancelled the other day. Did you? Yes. You may have got. I must be so low on the list. I didn't get a call. No, I couldn't make it. Fuck. You know, speaking of that, talking to people, I went on a date the other night and it was

on a rooftop in Bondi and it was like tightly packed. There was like six seats, six like single or double seats overlooking the ocean. And I was sitting there waiting for this person to arrive. And we never met. I slid into their DMs and we were chatting. Oh, this is a new one. This is a new one. Shit.

And I was like, cool. How many are there on the go? I can't keep up anymore. What are we up to? Nine? No, I've called the roster back. There's an average four. Okay.

It's fine. But just chatting. Like, I'm not. Goodness me. No, no, I get it. And they all know. Like, we're not exclusive. We're just chatting. Anyway. It's fine. But just chatting. Like, I'm not. Yeah, yeah. Goodness me. No, no, I get it. And they all know. Like, we're not exclusive. We're just chatting.

Anyway. And he was 45 minutes late. And I was like, well, shit. So I need to chat. I can't sit here in silence. But also, you've got so much in common. You're not prompt. I know.

I loved it. I was like, but normally, I think if you went on a date, someone would be pissed off that they're 45 minutes late. But I'm like, no, don't even worry about it. If anyone gets it, it's me. It's truly me. So then I lean to the table next to me. Oh, we gossip.

We have so much fun. Oh, good. Anyway, this guy gets to the venue and he comes up. We say hi. And he's like, oh. Did you hug? Yeah, we hugged. Kiss on the cheek?

Yeah, yeah. On the cheek, yeah. And he went, God, you're tall. I'm living vicariously. God, first dates are awkward. No, I love a first date. I love a first date. I love a first date. I love it.

It's a fun feeling, but it's also just like a bit nerve wracking. Yeah. Yeah, I was definitely nervous, but the 45 minutes of pure fucking nothing beforehand definitely killed it. I had a spicy marg. But if you were sitting there by yourself, you would have gotten in your own head about it. I was a bit. That's why I did this.

I turned to the couple next to me and they had medals on. I went, did you guys run a marathon? Oh, we gossip, we laugh, we gossip, we laugh, we gossip, we laugh. I've become best friends with these two girls next to me to the point where they go, the sun is setting, can we get Bondi photos? So I stand up and it's overlooking Bondi. Anyway, the guy comes up, he meets me and he goes, oh, I've actually been here for about five minutes, but I didn't want to come up because I saw you with your friends taking

photos. And I'm like, oh no, I don't know these girls. I don't fucking know their names. Like, who the fuck are these people? I'm killing time, babe. He goes, I actually felt like I was intruding because I'd made you wait so long. I didn't want to come up and then ruin a fun time. He was fourth wheeling on his own date.

It was awful. But yeah, long story short, don't put me near people because I'll talk to them. Do you know what was weird? When Short and I had our one-year anniversary, we sort of recreated the first date in the sense that we went to the same spot, the same bar we had the first date at. But also, we actually met, what's that one in Circular Quay? Is it the MCA? MCA.

Museum Contemporary Art? Yes, yes, yes. Near the ferries and shit. So on the first date, that's where we met. He was like, I'll just wait? MCA. Museum Contemporary Art. Yes, yes, yes. Near the ferries and shit. So on the first date, that's where we met. He was like, oh, just wait outside MCA. I'll meet you there. And so that's where we also met on the night of the anniversary. And just because we were reliving it so exactly, I was fucking nervous.

I was like, I've known this man for a year. Why am I so nervous? Oh, that's really sweet. It was really triggering. I was like, ah, it feels like a first date. That's very cute. Yeah. That makes me sad.

Why does that make you sad? Just beautiful. Love is real. Yeah. Who messaged who on Hinge first? He messaged me first. Wow. But I mustn't have seen the notification or maybe I had them turned off or something.

And I didn't see it for a couple of days. And then I did that thing where I wrote back and went, sorry. Yeah. Didn't see the message, which everyone says, but I actually meant it. It was the complete truth. And I thought, oh, I might've missed my shot here. And then, no, it was fine. But we didn't spend much time on Hinge before. Like he kind of cut to the chase and said, want to get a drink? I was like, sure. And then he gave me his number. Interesting. I heard Troye Sivan in an interview was like, the best thing to do when you're

dating is meet up in real life as soon as you can. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I kind of agree with that. I agree. The longer you keep it on the apps, I think the higher chance of it dying. You know, it's like an IVF baby. It's like, get it out of that Petri dish. You know, it's volatile. Which is easier said than done because you're not always available to like go on multiple dates a week at the drop of a hat.

But on this occasion, when he said, do you want to grab a drink on Thursday? I was like, all right. Well, I went on three dates this week because I've had the week off. I'm on holidays. Oh, okay. And I have nights and I never normally have nights. So I'm like, book it in. Oh, shit.

Have you got one tonight as well? I do have one tonight, yeah. Oh, my God. But this is a- Who is it? Can I third wheel? This is a fifth date. Wait, same person?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Wow. Yeah. Interesting. So does that mean I'm in like a situation ship? Oh, probably. That must be so confusing for him and you, but mostly him.

We've had the discussion of like, well, you know, it's just what it is. It's nothing. I don't know. I don't know if this would surprise you, but I'm not someone who fucking thrives in situationships. It really fucks with my head. Yeah, I can imagine. No, I'm just trying. There's bits of like, I want more attention.

But I'm like, wait, no. It's not a relationship. We're just like having fun and dating and that's it. Yeah. I hate situationships. Oh, I've never had them. So I need these experiences. That's what Al.

You wouldn't have. That's what Al, therapist, has said. She goes, you've never had a situationship. You've never had a friend. I've had more fucking situationships than hot dinners. This is my first one. So I need therapists have said. She goes, you've never had a situation ship. You've never had a friend. I've had more fucking situation ships than hot dinners. This is my first one. So I need to have them. I need to.

I find them too confusing. So do I, but I've got to try it, you know. Even with Sean, before we were like official, official, I was like, what is this? Yeah, that's a hard conversation to have. He's meeting my friends, but I don't know how to introduce him. This is my friend. Well, that's what you said to me. You're like my friends, but I don't know how to introduce him. This is my friend. Well, that's what you said to me. You were like, oh, I'm bringing someone to this thing on this night,

and I don't, yeah, you'll meet him. I'm like, okay. Yeah. He was very sweet when I met him for the first time. Oh, of course. He was clearly very nervous. Did you kiss on the first date? No, no.

You didn't kiss? No. On the cheek? Well, it got to a point where it was kind of obvious that he wasn't going to make that first move. So I was like, fine, I'm going to have to. So it wasn't until like the third date. The third date!

And I was like, fuck this. I'm going to have to be the one to initiate this. You didn't kiss until the third date. Wow. That's so interesting to me. I am, I don't know what it is about me, but I go right in for the move. I don't blame you. That's fine.

For a kiss. I mean, I also didn't mind him not kissing me on the first date because this was my first date in a long time. Yeah. Like this was off the back of the pandemic. Yeah, yeah. And also me just not particularly being in the mood to date. Yeah, of course.

So this kind of was, and it was off the back of a fucking situationship actually. So yeah, I had a situationship earlier in the year and then met Sean in June and I was kind of like, oh, I haven't got on a proper date. Fuck. Interesting. Yeah. Well, I'm really loving the date, the date life, to be honest. Oh, I can tell.

I invited this guy to the drag race down under finale party because you're normally my date to events. Like we go to events together. Sorry, I couldn't make it that night. My drink had been spiked. Okay. Sorry. That's not why I bring it up again. But you couldn't go and I was like,

fuck. So I invited this guy. I'm like, you want to come? Stan throw a great party. Oh my God. The team at Stan really know how to put it on. That's true. But it was sponsored. This is triggering. Remember the first season of Drag Race, that fucking premiere event and I lost my AirPods. At the Opera House. Fuck. Oh my God. Was Mercury in retrograde? No, I lost my airpods. At the Opera House. Yeah. Oh my God. What was the, was it Mercury in Retrograde? No, I was just listening to you. Oh. Taking your guidance.

Remember we heard a, and I went, did you hear something drop? And you went, no. I did. And so I just didn't look. I'm such a terrible friend. And then we opened. Shit, my airpods just went everywhere. I did that for the sound effect and now I have to pick my fucking airpods.

Clean my UX off them. We were sitting there talking to Rita Ora and then you're like, I need to track them on Find My Friends. And then they were under the seats. It said like in the opera house. Yeah. You couldn't get more remote. I called them back and I said, I'm looking at the Find My app right now.

It's in the fucking theatre we were in. Under the bleachers. This is my seat number. Go find it. And they're like, no, not there. Sorry. Obviously someone saw a fucking score. A what?

You know, they're like, oh, free AirPods. Why not? Oh, I get you. Which is obviously what happened with my glasses too. Yes, of course. Free score. Someone saw me concussed on the ground and thought, they're nice. I'm going to take them.

I'm liking the round look on you. Oh, the glasses. The glasses. They look really nice. I haven't seen them on you. Oh, I have seen round, but they were a nice style. These aren't them, you know. No, I know.

The ones I'm wearing. Yeah, no, no, I know. Because I saw them in the photo. They lost Mitchell. Yeah. These aren't them, you know. No, I know. The ones I'm wearing. Yeah, no, no, I know. Because I saw them in the photo. They lost Mitchell. Yeah. I do know what that means. This is my understudy pair. Because you know how I said I was tossing up between cheap glasses and the expensive one?

Yeah. They must have tricked me. Because after I paid for the expensive one, when I went to pick them up, they were like, oh, didn't we tell you? There's a buy one, get one half price. You can have the second one, the understudy pair, the second favourite. You can have them too. Oh, I hate that. So they threw the frames in for free.

I just have to pay for the lens. So I was like, it'll be good to have a spare. Clearly you knew something. So these are new as well, but the spare. Yeah, but they're a bit generic. They're not like a new glasses. Like, Ooh, new glasses. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't even notice they were new. I didn't know. Exactly. Case in point. I didn't. No, these are the understudy glasses for a reason. You look good though. Would you got contacts? Nah. Take the glasses off for a sec. See, I feel like I know you with or without glasses. To me, you're not a glasses person or a non-glasses person.

That's true, because there are some people who when they take their glasses off, I go, fuck! Jesus Christ. Is that what you look like? You look like a little mouse. Holy shit, I don't recognise them without glasses, but I feel like people have seen enough of me without glasses that it's not that jarring. I feel like you don't feel much content in glasses. Is that right?

Is that fair to say? I don't what? You don't feel much content. Like you're not online in glasses much. But I have to because I'm looking at a screen. The stress. Yeah, I know. The stress.

But my tension headaches have gotten much better. Good. For what it's worth, even though I've gone through a real ordeal in losing my gorgeous glasses, at least they work. But when does Mercury leave retrograde? Oh, it's out. It was out on the 16th. Oh, okay.

Right, right, right. Yeah. Which is when all of the nonsense went down. I want to talk about that incident after. Not on the cloud. Oh, really? Well, yeah. I need more info.

I need to make sure you're okay. I want to find the culprit. I'm very protective. I don't know who the culprit is. No, I know, but I want to get some more info. I can sniff it out. Yeah. I can't believe we were out on Oxford Street the same night

and I didn't even know. So while you were wandering down Oxford Street, did you see a pair of glasses? No, I didn't. Fuck. But I did step on something and thought, that could have been a croissant or Mitchell Coons' glasses and kept walking.

You trot on my glasses and there's this big crunch. Someone goes, did you hear something? You went, no. Nothing. Wouldn't surprise me. All right, let's go. Let's get out of here. Great to have you back, Michelle.

No, we don't have to. Are we done? Yeah, sure. All right. Is there anything else you need to throw in there? Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 3% better today. That's all. So we do.

So we do. So we do. Did Louis do the so we do thing? He did. He was very good. He was very good. Louis opened up about his first threesome. Oh, no.

No, his third threesome. Good for him. Third threesome. Can't relate. What was so special about the third one? He was in Greece. Right. And he had two gorgeous American men.

They were in a relationship and he was the third. And he loved the experience. He was very open. He actually messaged me after and was like, you have a weird knack. It's like, I don't, I never ever thought I'd divulge any of that information, but you just pulled it out of me. Yeah. How did that come up?

I don't know. I don't, I think that was just flirty energy. He's a gorgeous man. Oh, all right. We get it. I'm just saying. He's gorgeous. I do love him.

He's gorgeous. And out of my league, but nice to be friends with. Nice to have a hot friend. Why do you always say that out of my league? It's true. I've seen some of the twinks you're plowing through at the moment. Enough. Alright. No more. I didn't realise my family listened to this podcast. What happened? I've just heard things. Which ones? What have your family heard? Too much. I had a family dinner. It was my sister's 30th this week. Happy birthday, Becky.

Oh, Detective Becky. Happy birthday, darling. Detective Becky. You're under arrest. It's Detective Becky. It's just the least intimidating detective name ever. If I was in my house and I heard all these police sirens coming towards me, they've swarmed in, they're surrounding me in the front yard.

They've got the fucking guns out. They've got the megaphone. Come out with your hands up. It's Detective Becky. I'd be like, I could probably take that bitch. I'm not scared at all. No, she's tough. Yeah, okay.

She's dirty. The name Biggie. It's such a cute little name. So what did they hear on the podcast that you said? Just some like the dating stories and they heard the Melbourne episode. Oh, wow. Yeah. Isn't it the worst when there's family listening?

Because Sean's family listened to this podcast. There's so many stories I'd love to tell, but I can't knowing that they're listening. Like I'd love to tell the story about how we went away to Bogangate and I forgot my douche. So we had to go to the nearby pet shop to buy a guinea pig feeder to use in lieu of the douche. But I can never tell that story. You'll never hear it. No. Never.

Ever. Ever. Did it have the ball in the end of the tip? Yeah, so it didn't work. Did you pry the ball out with pliers? No, no. We gave up on the guinea pig feeder as a douche. What else did we buy?

We bought a few options. I remember because you messaged me. We got a turkey baster. Yes, I know. Yeah, we got a turkey baster. That didn't work. Not enough pressure in the stream. Oh, got it.

Yeah. What about a pump bottle? Classic pump bottle. No, we ended up getting an empty tomato sauce bottle. Oh, that's actually good. It's got a lot of body to it. It was perfect, actually. I still got it just in case.

Oh, my God. Just in case. How do you get the Heinz? I'm feeling toey. It wasn't, actually. I've still got it, just in case. Oh, my God. Just in case. How do you get the Heinz? I'm feeling toey. It wasn't Heinz. It was an empty one at like a reject shop, you know? God, Dick Smith, huh? Yeah, I guess so.

But anyway, you'll never hear me tell that story. And you should never tell it. No. No. I'm glad you have told, you've withheld it. Yeah. Because it's vulgar. I'd hate for Sean's family to hear that.

The story about how you used a guinea pig feeder as a douche. Yeah. So that their son could fuck me. Yeah. In it's vulgar. I'd hate for Sean's family to hear that. The story about how you used a guinea pig feeder as a douche. Yeah. So that their son could fuck me. Yeah. In your ass. Yeah. In Bougainvillea. Anyway, so we do.

So we do. Have a great week, everyone. Great to have you back. I'm sure we missed you. I missed you. Thanks, Charlon. Silly Goose era begins next week. It's fucking better.

Yeah. Lots of homework, guys. If you all care about me, you'll help me. Oh, I will say, by the time this episode airs, sorry, the Hot Girl Walk merch is available now. Oh, shit, okay. Yes. Link in my bio, Mitch Turi.

Okay, done. It'll be all over my stories. The Hot Girl Walk merch, we had some delays, but the factory almost burned down, but it's back up and running. And it's available now, two colours. It's very straightforward. And we'll put the link in the show notes,

which, yes, we have. Which exists. I love the show notes. I read them every week. All right. See you next week, guys. Love you. Can I just say before we go.

God, every time we try to rap. Just one more thing. What? On the topic of show notes, you didn't know that we did them. And I said to you, you would think during a week off I wouldn't have to worry about the podcast at all. But fuck, I had to hold yours in Jenna's hands. She just forgot to edit it.

Anyway. That was a real issue. We came to Sunday afternoon and we're like, has anyone edited it? And she goes, nah. No, I did my work. We all had jobs. I did all my jobs by Friday. And then Jenna goes, I forgot to edit it.

But then I said to you, you need a description to go in the show notes. And you just copy and pasted one from two weeks prior that had like, All Right Hay joins us. TikTok school with All Right Hay. Click here to listen to All Right Hay's new podcast, High Scholars. And I was like, you can't use an old show notes in this one. It makes no sense. It's a different episode.

I was trying to edit it and I sent it without editing it. Is that what happened? I thought, you fuckwit. No, do you want to know what actually happened? I was on my Mac because I was tweaking the edit because Jenna fucked up. And you know if you're on iMessage on Mac and you hit enter, it sends the fucking text. So I edited it and wanted to do enter new line. Oh, you've got to shift enter.

I know. And it sent it to you. But I did that like 10 times. It's not even enter, it's return. I know, I'm an idiot. Anyway, the show notes from last week, I wouldn't know because I haven't read them. But I'm assuming they're right. I hope they're right.

I don't know. Who knows? Who gives a shit? All right. Can we sign off? Any other tidbits to add? No, they're right. I hope they're right. I don't know. Who knows? Who gives a shit? All right. Can we sign off? Any other tidbits to add? No, we're good. Thanks for listening, idiots.

See you next week. Bye, bub. Love ya. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
