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. I'd rather be dead than be called Gunkle. Oh, that nickname for gay uncle. Just because I'm gay doesn't mean you need to change the word. Imagine if they were like, God, he's put on weight.

Funkle's here, you fat uncle. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Hello, Mitchell. What's happening? Listen, we're celebrating. Last week was my birthday.

This week is the four-year anniversary of Is It Just Me, the podcast. Happy anniversary, girls. Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary, Jenna. Happy anniversary to you as well. Happy anniversary, girls. Happy anniversary. Prize keeper Jenna, happy anniversary to you as well. Happy anniversary, everyone. We made it against all odds. All the press was against us.

We had that schmear campaign from Kellogg's that I don't even want to fucking go into. And we have made it through on the other side. We have well and truly passed the podcast curse. You kind of ruined my surprise, by the way. I had something hidden back here that I was going to bust out as a surprise, but you kind of beat me to it. Here we go. Ready? Okay, yeah.

Happy four years. Happy anniversary, girl. Oh, my God. That landed in me. Oh, my God. Yay. Can you grab the glasses over there, Mitch? Do you want a glass, Jenna?

Yeah, why not? To celebrate. Of course. Here he comes. Here he comes. All right. Make sure you give me a Mitch Mitchell Coombs pour, please. Oh, that

was stunning. You know how the bubbles on the top of a champagne just kind of mushroom over the top of the glass, but not a single drop is spilled. I've got to drive, so I'll have a respectful half glass. That's not half, mate. Happy four years, guys.

Cheers to four years. Cheers to four years. Cheers to four years. Cheers, Jenna. Cheers, Mitch. By the way, I think you're allowed – does this ring a bell? If you're going to be driving after a drink, you're allowed two drinks in the first hour and one every hour after that. I've never subscribed to that math, to be perfectly honest.

Yeah, especially if you're going off of Mitchell Coombs' pour. If it's one drink, it's actually about seven. Yeah. Also, especially if you're the size that I am. I mean, I metabolise alcohol very quickly. There's been a couple of times where I've been RBT'd and I'm like, shit, I've had a couple of drinks. And they're like, you've got nothing in you.

Good boy being sober. I'm like, yeah, sober. I still got salt from a tequila shot on my lip. Random question. Have you ever in your life, Jenna, this doesn't apply to you, you can't drive. No. Have you ever in your life had a random drug test?

I have had one random drug test. Yes, and it was terrifying. Because I remember during my stoner era of 2017, you know that myth, I don't know if it's true or not, but people were like, if you have weed, it will show up on a drug test for at least the next 30 days or so. Yes. I know. I heard two weeks.

But I've never had a random drug test. I'm like, is it a myth? No, I've had it. And what they do is they scrape your tongue. It looks like a COVID swab. And they scrape the top of your tongue. And then it just like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And then a line comes up if it's high or if you're negative.

And I was negative. But it was very scary. Very scary. They had dogs. I love how you get scared even though there's no chance you were smacked off your face behind the wheel absolutely not i'm like should have i had any methamphetamines um rbt's are so intimidating you know the other day really i don't think they are at all i've never had anything to worry about oh no i don't

have anything to worry about but police just frightened me and they they did the um the rbt and she was like any drinks tonight and i said no and she was all right but count to 10 and i counted to 10 but really quickly she went slow down there mate i went sorry and she was like, any drinks tonight? And I said, no. And she goes, all right, count to 10. And I counted to 10, but really quickly. She went, slow down there, mate. And I went, sorry. And she went, you sure you haven't had a drink? I went, yeah. And she went, it's registering.

Are you serious? And I went, I haven't had a drink, but I've just sanitized my hands. She went, let's go again. She did me again. And she went, I'm going to have to ask you to pull over. And I'm like, oh, my God. Have I been, has someone slipped a drink into my pump bottle? And then I pull over and then we do it again.

And she goes, now, please, sir, I'm giving you one last chance to be honest. Are you serious? Have you had a drink? And I said, absolutely not. Do you know who I am? And then she did it. And she said, oh, the machine was broken. You're fine.

You can go. I was terrified. So it actually was broken. I thought she was just going on a bit of a power trip. No, the machine was broken. She had to call over some other constable because she was clearly fresh out of the academy. I thought you were calling them the C word. Constable, gotcha.

No. Well, no, no. I got a family full of cops. Cops are tops. ACAB. Well, yeah, that as well. Apart from Becky. ACAB, Detective Becky aside.

My sister, yeah. All cops except Becky are bastards. A, C. A, B, A, B. No, A, C, E, B, E. Fuck, that's confusing. ACAB again. ACAB again. Anyway, A-C-E-B-E. Fuck, that's confusing. A-Cab-A-Gib. A-Cab-A-Gib.

Anyway, happy four years, God. Let's take our mind back to when we first started the show. Was there any point where you thought we wouldn't make the four years? Yeah, last week was a tough week, but, you know, it was my birthday, so I was stressed. So it makes sense as to why those thoughts were going through my mind. Speaking of your birthday, later on in this episode, we're going to be playing some audio from your birthday.

Something happened that I will never, ever fucking forgive you for. I don't think it was my fault. I know exactly what you're talking about. Is it what happened in my bedroom? Is that what you're talking about? No. No, not that. No, that was welcome.

Sorry. That was very welcome. I enjoyed that. I more mean, oh, at the steps. Yes. Oh, the steps. Correct. Got it. Oh, I'm sorry. That wasn't my oh, at the steps. Yes. Oh, on the steps. Correct. Got it.

Oh, I'm sorry. That wasn't my fault. Jenna and you were there. But you also did nothing to defend me. I don't know what's happening. Well, it only benefited me. In that moment, all I was getting was positive praise. So, okay, we've got the audio.

We'll play that coming up. And by the way, speaking of this episode, because it's our four-year anniversary, we thought this week of all weeks, we're giving you double dose of Idjim from now on. So we're going to be doing two episodes this week and from now on. We mentioned this a few weeks back. We put a survey out to you, our darling idiot. And everyone was in favour of two episodes of Idjim per week. It's an Idjimocracy, guys.

If the voting ruled that you wanted one episode, we would have done one episode. But it was overwhelming. Two episodes a week. So all you need to worry about is the fact that you wanted one episode, we would have done one episode, but it was overwhelming, two episodes a week. So all you need to worry about is the fact that you'll get more of us every week. The whole idea was that we would make them a little bit shorter because one episode was starting to blow out to almost two hours. We'll just see how we go with that, though.

Because knowing us, we won't be able to shut the fuck up. Absolutely not going to happen. So, yeah, congratulations on four years, guys. Cheers to us. Cheers, girls. We're all still alive. And can I actually say, I'd argue, that we're the hottest and most successful and most gorgeous and the happiest the three of us have ever been.

I would think that's fair to say. It's true. I think so. It's true. I completely agree. Speaking of which, in answer to – actually, it was my question, not even yours. In answer to my question about was there any point where you thought

the podcast might end and we might not make it to four years? Yeah, November, December last year, I thought Cherry's going to have to pull the pin soon. Oh, you think? Yeah. Oh, I was not in a good way. Because you were taking on an extra radio show. You were already overworked. And I thought if something's got to give, it's going to be the podcast. And me being the sort of person I am, I'd sort of started to roadmap how we'd announce the podcast ending in my head already. And then you were like, no, no, I'm fine. We'll carry on. I was like, oh.

You are such a control freak. I love that so much. I'm not a control freak. I was just thinking about it. You know how you think about these things. Yeah. No, I know. I know.

Mitch is so good. This month of October is the busiest month I've had in like three years. And Mitch made a calendar for me. Oh, that's sweet. I called it Cheery's Fucktober. Well, I'm heading on a national tour with my radio co-host, Britt and Laura, and I'm opening for their live show. And I, of all people, know that going around to different fucking cities,

it doesn't sound like much, an hour flight to Brisbane or whatever, but it really takes it out of you. Yeah, totally. And it's more overwhelming in your brain than it actually is in execution. Yeah. And so I said to you, send me all your flight time, send me all your recording dates, et cetera, et cetera. And I made a calendar, colour coded.

He did. Just because when you look at the calendar, it's less daunting when you go, oh, okay, I actually do have a few days that week where I've got time to myself, you know. I really did appreciate that. I can show you the calendar, Jenna. I did a great job. I'd love to see it. I've sent it to a couple of people, a couple of boys that I'm dating.

I'm like, just, they're like, want to go on a second date? I'm like, read Tury's Fucktober. You're like, circle back in November, cockhead. And I'm like, you're yellow, just so you know, for colour coding, because you're a twink. In my eyes, yellow is twink. But so is the podcast. It's yellow.

It's a whole thing. But I did it for the sake of our podcast. Yeah. Because he's got the most fucked up month ahead in October. And so I'm putting in this calendar on all of his free days, option one. We record this day, option two, because why would we choose now when you're busier than ever to take on two episodes a week for God's sake? I know we're idiots.

We're actually idiots. But so are our listeners. The idiots. Yeah, good tie in. We should begin the show. If it's your first time listening, welcome. We start every show with an, is it just me? Something we've noticed hate or

appreciate so we have one each which doesn't know mine and i don't know mitch's we're going in cold i reckon you should kick things off because what i can tell you about mine is that it does involve me having to get up out of my chair and i'm not prepared to do that right now i'm very comfy oh so you want you just you're putting it off for yes i'm heading to another room oh but i've been to every room in your house and there's been nothing interesting. Is Sean here? How very dare you? Is there a secret guest here? There's nothing here.

There's nothing. But I would have seen it if there was a fucking cake or something. We'll get to that. Do you want to kick off? Oh my God. Is there a cake? I would have loved a cake. This champagne is going straight to my head.

Yeah. I don't know about you guys, but I also ran out of time to have lunch. So I'm having champagne on an empty stomach. This could be interesting. I am as well. I've had a Chobani Pro Fit Yoga and an 8K run. I'm going to fucking cark it on the show. Is that all you've had?

No, and a banana. Okay, that's good. That's okay. That's a nice breakfast. That's good. All right, let's go. Here's my e-gym. Is it just me or?

Are you gravely worried about the whereabouts of the year 10 and year 12 formals? What do you mean? Are you saying they don't happen anymore? They have disappeared off the face of the earth. The year 12 formal and the year 10 farewell is what I used to have. We had a year 10 farewell or a formal. Wait, who was being farewelled in year 10? Do I have it wrong?

Oh, year 10 formal, year 12 farewell. Is it possible that that shit is just not on your radar anymore? Well, no, I'm not hiding by parks and looking at, you know, 17-year-olds in suits and you know, shitty little tiger lily dresses, but they were the biggest thing in the world.

You'd go to a local park, you'd get your pre's, you'd have your photos, everyone would have party buses, and the girls would have the gowns and they'd be all different colors and the boys would have their suits from Tarakash and all the boys that line up in a row and that all get their photos and the groups would get photos and then the parents would come down. But now, like, you know, we were a bit daggy when we were in high school. We didn't have TikTok or Instagram. Now you'd think they'd be bigger than ever because these kids are TikToking and these kids are all over social media. Oh yeah. You just don't see it online.

I see absolutely no. And I see prom. I see American prom content. Do you? Yeah. I see prom stuff, but I never see any year 10 and year 12 formal content. And if you're listening and you're in year 12 or you're in year 10, do you still do it? Do people still give a shit? Of course they'd give a shit. It's the biggest deal at the time. Oh, God.

Do you remember your year 10? Did you have both, 10 and 12? Yeah, we had the JDD and the SDD. Senior dinner dance, junior dinner dance. JDD? Doesn't SDD – you've got to really pronounce those letters carefully. Yeah, you've got to enunciate carefully on that one. Okay, so and then the JDDs in year 10 and what is it, a dinner?

It's basically just fucking party pies and sausage rolls in the school gym, to be fair. But they do actually make us do and learn a formal dance for the Junior Dinner Dance. But the senior one is just a free-for-all. It's basically a disco in formal wear. But I did take my Year 10 girlfriend to the Junior Dinner Dance. Oh, yes, your girlfriend.

A vet. A vet. As in with a Y, not just a veterinary. I was wondering, yeah, well, Dinner Dance. Oh, yes, your girlfriend. Yvette. Yvette. As in with a Y, not just a veterinary. I was wondering. Well, you are a dog, so that checks out. Did you kiss Yvette? No. God, no.

No, sorry. I gave her a corsage. I was about to ask, did you give her a corsage? Oh, that is really cute. It's very charming. I'll see if I can find photos. You guys see if you can find photos from your high school formals. We'll put them in our Facebook group.

I know where mine are because I was going through my old profile pictures before and there's a photo of me with a girl. Yeah, I think mine would have been my profile picture too. Jenna, you're very quiet on this. Yeah, I never went to one. Oh, why not? No. You were invited, surely.

You just didn't want to go. No, we didn't have one. Jenna. Really? Wait, what high school did you go to? She was at the Salem Witch Trials when she was in high school, so she was quite busy. They were trying her for witchcraft.

Yes. So for year 11 and 12, right, I did correspondence. What, for the BB fucking C? What do you mean? Oh, my God, that's kind of cool. She invented remote learning before COVID made it cool. It's true. What do you mean, Jenna?

I did my schoolwork from home. Why? What was going on? Because I wanted to and I hated school and I kept ditching school and going to the park. I hated school too. I didn't know that was an option just to not go. I never even asked.

I really thrived. I really enjoyed school. This is me at my year 10 formal with Chloe and Sophie. I think I was in love with both of them. Oh, my God. Look at that, Mitchell. Holy shit. You actually look a lot like you do now.

Yeah. No. Like size-wise. Oh, I do. I've thinned down, yes. Oh, there's another one of me. Look, in the park, getting photos with all the locals. Oh, my God.

There's me because I got voted best personality, which is code for faggot. Most lovable. Yeah, sure. Oh, my God. Heart poof. I just found a photo of Yvette and I, and you can tell that I'm feeling so awkward and don't know what to do with

my hands. Here you go. You'd be such a cutie. I would have bullied you, I think. Oh, my God. My face looks so red. I must have been nervous. Oh, look at your hand. Why am I thinner than you in that year? Yeah, no, that was. face looks so red. I must have been nervous. Oh, look at your hand.

Why am I thinner than you in that year? Yeah, no, that was. You were pudgy. That wasn't even me at my pudgiest. Oh, Mitchell. You look so young. I will say, I probably shouldn't say this, but despite the fact I'm now openly homosexual,

she's got a good rack on her, my girlfriend. Mitchell, she's 12. 16. I'm not commenting. See, this is why school formals aren't on our radar, because it's inappropriate for us to be friends with anyone that age. Well, how old are they, 17? It's not like I have, because I used to have younger friends in lower years for me, but

they're well and truly out of school. So if I had an 18 or 17 year old friend, that'd be a bit weird, wouldn't it? I think it would be dead. Like acquaintances, listeners of ours, sure, whatever. But like, not a close friend where I'm like, oh my God, send me a photo from your formal. That's a bit Miranda Sings of me. Absolutely not. I think that age is, I think 21 is the youngest you can really have a friendship with at our age anyway. So that was me at my year 10. Year 10 was a bit, it was normal. Then year 12, I remember we went to the city, Darling Harbour, Circular Quay, and DJ Tiger Lily DJ'd our year 12 event.

Then anyone who was 18 went out to Argyle and Cargo Bar in Sydney. Oh, my God. They are such straight venues. Such straight venues. That would have been the biggest deal for you shy folk. We're going to Argyle and Cargo Bar. DJ Tiger Lily was there. That is the night that I had my first when I had a nosebleed. Oh, you're not allowed to say cigarette brands, mate.

I have to beep that out. Fuck, I'm an idiot. And I'm like, I'm a radio. What is wrong with me? I know. Speaking of which, by the way, speaking of cigarettes, more details on Mitchell Cherry's birthday party soon to come.

Oh, no, please don't bring it up. I don't want to talk about it. Listen. And you fucking judge me for vaping. I don't have any judgment. I think you look like an idiot. Listen, if you fucking judge me for vaping. I don't have any judgment. I think you look like an idiot. Listen, if you're an idiot, speaking of, and you are going through your year 10 or year 12, I want photos.

Like, what do you do? Do you have the events? What are you wearing? Because fashion's changed. Kids are fashionable these days. I don't think the young people listen to us. We're going to get their mums saying, I had Nikita's formal last week. So true.

Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. Now, coming up in our next episode in a couple of days' time, our Wednesday episode, episode 164, for those keeping count at home. Wait, sorry. Are we going to continue the numbering?

Yeah. So we're not going to do 0. Are we going to continue the numbering? Yeah. So we're not going to do 0.5? We're not going to start? Nah. We're not doing fucking Harry Potter part one and two shit. Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn part two. Fuck that. Can we?

But can we do like Deathly Hallows? Can we have really dramatic names for them? Well, what do you want to call episode 163? Today's one. Half-Blood Prince. Well, what do you want to call episode 163, today's one? Half-Blood Prince. Anyway, coming up in episode 164, our Wednesday episode,

our newly invented Wednesday episode, for our four-year anniversary, we're doing an anonymous Q&A. We've been sent a bunch of questions from our idiots. We often get asked questions. I don't think we usually give the option for it to be anonymous, so this will be interesting. People will get a bit brave. Yeah, I agree. And no, we're not fucking.

I know that'll be the top question. Have you guys ever had sex? Yeah, no, we're not fucking anymore. No, we stopped. And also Jenna's got another fable for us. Yes. Is it going to be as intense as last Jenna's fable? Well, it happened a year after the last fable.

Interesting. Do you want to put your mic a bit closer? I'm worried about your posture. Look at how she's leaning her neck like that when she has to lean in to talk. She just dropped the mic towards her vagina. Oh, God. She has one champagne. There, that's better.

Just pop a cushion behind your back. I'm worried about your posture. This is like at the Oscars when they try to touch the mic, but it's built into the floor. Yeah. Okay. There we go. You look more comfortable now. Jenna, why do you have a plaster on your hand?

Jenna's bandaged. What's happened here? So there was a dog in the office yesterday. Mitchell has a name. We're both on the dog jokes today. We've both called each other a dog and it's only 15 minutes in. Yeah. And I got mauled.

What? You got mauled by a dog? Yeah, by a toy poodle Maltese. How could that only happen to you? They're not capable of mauling. In the workplace? Yeah. What were you baiting at, were you?

Were you teasing her? No, I was just patting her. She just looks delicious. You are very sinewy and it would have gone that to pig's ear if ever I've seen her. What's sinewy? She's just very lean. Okay. It's a massive compliment.

Thank you so much. No worries. It's not a compliment. He said It's a massive compliment. Thank you so much. No worries. It's not a compliment. He said you looked like a petrified pigsy. And he mistook you for a treat from Pet Barn. You said that. I called her a pigsy. Anyway, Lily was, we were having fun.

She was sitting on me and then she. Bit you. Yeah. Wow. And so now you're all bandaged up. Yeah, I had to go to the first aid kit in the office. No one even helped you? No.

That's in the kitchen. I always see it when I reheat my new foods at night. I feel like I'm the only one who uses it. Yeah, I think so. I took a heap of Band-Aids. They're in my bag. All right. Well, glad you're all right.

Christ, that's all coming up on Wednesday's episode. Are you ready for my Is It Just Me? Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Is it just me? Have you ever been curious to try an ice bath? Oh, you know what? Now that I'm in my health and fitness era, I have seen these and the benefits are really quite strong.

Yeah, I was looking into it the other day. And I remember you telling me ages ago, Mitch, if you make the last 30 seconds of your shower fucking freezing cold, it's meant to be good for your anxiety or something. I still do that. You still do? Because I remember trying it and the first day I got five seconds and then I was like, that's fine.

That's fine. Tomorrow I'll try and beat five seconds. I got seven and then I got up to 13 and then I thought, fuck this for a joke. I'm not doing that anymore. Yeah, yeah. No, it does work. I can't do it. It's for anxiety.

It resets your nervous system. See, that's actually what sparked my interest about the ice bath or the plunge pool, whatever they call it. I've been getting a lot of TikToks about the nervous system being out of whack. And I think mine must be because I've got the constant sore neck, constant sore shoulders. Yeah. And it's not even about anxiety or anything anymore, although apparently that is a benefit of the ice bath.

However, I fucking hate discomfort. So I don't know. The benefits would have to really outweigh that three minutes of discomfort because they say three minutes of the ice bath is what you need. These ice baths are next level. So Joel Creasy, I was talking to him about this because he ice baths all the time and he puts photos up. And it's like a genuine like minus five degree freezing cold ice bath that you plunge yourself into. And it like completely makes your brain shut down and focus on just not dying.

Wow. It's insane. Fuck that. Yeah. So Jenna, can you Google the benefits of ice baths? Because I can't remember off the top of my head. But basically I was looking into it the other day and I thought, you know what? Maybe I should give it a go.

I don't know if you need a special ice bath or if you have to go to a bloody spa or something. You can. There are clinics that do it. A lot of footballers do like the cryogenics and you go into a machine and it freezes you. But I think anything that is cold enough to reset your nervous system is fine. Well, for the sake of the experiment today, I have a bath and I have ice. Should I give it a crack? Oh, shit.

Is that what you were talking about? Yes. You've got something in another room? Yes. Oh, my God. I feel like Jeffrey Dahmer when he invites you back and then he shows you his bath and it's full of decapitated hairs. No, you're not coming into the bathroom with me.

Oh, okay. I'll take the portable mic, but I don't want you to see me. Oh, are you going to be butt naked? What are you going to do? Oh, no, I better not. Put some undies on. I'm in my gym clothes now. I probably should have gotten changed. I'm sorry to see me. Oh, are you going to be butt naked? What are you going to do? Oh, no, I better not. Put some undies on. I'm in my gym clothes now. I probably should have gotten changed.

I'm sorry if I stink. I'll just go in this and then I'll get changed after. How do you film it? Do you need Jenna to go in? No, I'll just take that tripod with me. Okay, so you've set it up already? Pretty much. No wonder I said I had to shit when I got here and he said no.

It's the bath to set up. I was like, spoiler. Yeah. Okay, all right. Now, does it undo the nervous system benefits if I take my champagne with me? Absolutely not Jenna, you've read the benefits What are the benefits?

Okay, so reduces inflammation and swelling Tick, I need that Relieves sore muscles Aids exercise recovery Yeah, Pilates Lowers core body temperature Is that a good thing? You're pretty hot at the moment

Supports immunity Improves mental health Oh, god, shit good thing? You're pretty hot at the moment. Supports immunity. Improves mental health. Oh, God, shit. We'll stay in there for as long as you can. There's so, so many. But there's some risks as well. What are the risks?

Before you carry on, I've got a bunch of tumblers in my freezer full of water for the ice. So I'll just go pop those in the bath. Okay. Well, Jenny, you read the health, the warnings. The risks. Okay. So high blood pressure or heart disease. Well, can't give you heart disease the health, the warnings. The risks. Okay, so high blood pressure or heart disease. Well, it can't give you heart disease. Yeah, that's a bit dramatic.

Yeah, it's a lot. Oh, if you've got it, it's saying be wary. Your provider may recommend avoiding ice baths. What, your ice provider? What, your dealer? Your doctor. What do you mean? Oh, well, he's a provider.

It says your provider. A vomit bucket full of ice. Oh, my God. A cup full of ice. All my little ramekins full of ice. Oh, my God. A cup full of ice. All my little ramekins full of ice. I've got heaps of ice ready to go. A Dixie cup full of ice in my head. Wow, he's got so many ice cube trays.

Okay, so staying in an ice bath for too long can also cause hypothermia. Yes, I heard no longer than 15 minutes, which I don't think I'll last fucking one minute. I don't think we've got 15. I think you'll be 60. I'm going to take bets now. Jenna, I think he'll last no longer than a minute. I think three minutes. Why are you boiling a jug?

Are you putting hot water in there? Yeah, because the ice is stuck to the bucket. I have to get it out somehow. Just dump the bucket in with you. Put it on your crotch. Okay, so remember, you should get out of the ice bath immediately if you start shivering uncontrollably or notice skin colour changes. Really? Yeah. Shivering? It's going to be a freezing cold bath. No,ivering uncontrollably or notice skin colour changes. Really?

Yes. Shivering? It's going to be a freezing cold bath. No, but uncontrollably. I've just read this. Ice baths are said to have several health benefits and should be approached with caution. However, stars like Kim Kardashian, Drake and Lizzo to Samantha, a bevy of celebrities, have become obsessed.

Who the fuck is Samantha? Who's Samantha? Who says? Lizzo and Samantha. I'm going to chuck this cup of ice cubes in the bath and then start running the cold water. All right. All right. God, I'm excited for it.

Me too. I'm a bit nervous, to be honest with you. Oh, by the way, do you want to hear something fucked? Yeah. Because I'm smart. Earlier, I thought, oh, it's going to take ages to fill the bath. To save time on the podcast, I'll like half fill it. And then I just forgot that I was filling the bath up.

I left to go to bar class. I walked halfway there and I went, fuck, fuck, fuck the bath. I came here. It had just started overflowing. Oh, my God. I got it just in time. That's never happened to me. I'm always worried about it.

Thank God I remembered, right? I forgot that you had a bath. Okay, so what do you want the benefits for? Is it the soreness of bar? It's the nervous system thing and like just my constant neck pain, which the chiropractor doesn't seem to help because I don't think it's actually got anything to do with the bones and the spine. It must be muscular.

Maybe inflammation? Yes. Can I tell you the best thing about doing 30 seconds of cold after a hot shower is it cools you down and then I do my skincare straight after my shower and sometimes I'm sweating after a hot shower. Oh, is it better for the skincare? So much better because your skin is just – you're not hot. It soaks it in more.

Yeah, it soaks it in more. It's so good. I'm just going to put my champagne next to the bar so that's ready to go. So Mitch is heading into his bar. It's behind us. So Jenna and I can't see anything. You can hear me from this mic? Yeah, I can, yeah.

Perfect, okay. Can you just kind of like put the mic near the water and just prove that there's ice cubes? I'm about to dump this big bucket of ice in there. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's in a red Tupperware bowl. Okay, ready?

Yeah. Okay, here we go. That was the most vile sound I've ever heard. It was. All right, I'm taking the ramekins in. That's the last of the ramekins I'm about to plunge. So they're the size of a creme brulee ramekin, and they've got big chunk of cubes in.

Let's see how they pop. Okay, here they are. Okay. Oh, you shut the door. I've locked it too. I don't trust you and your side air. Grow up. I'm not interested in seeing you in a pool.

So walk us through it. I can hear the water running. Is it cold enough? Well, I've got the cold tap on and then a fuckload of ice in there, so I can only assume. It's a hot day here in Sydney too, so cold water will be cold regardless. Well, I can't even handle cold water in a shower, so no matter how cold it is or isn't, it's still too cold for me.

All right. Well, Isabella's out here terrified. She heard the popping and she thinks her dad is out here being a terrible... Her mother, thank you. Sorry. Her mother, yeah. All right, Mitchell, walk us through what you're about to do, your first ice bath. Well, it's not that deep, so do I wait for it to fill up a bit further, or do I just get in as it is? Get in as it is, because it'll be colder. The colder it is now with less water, it'll be cooler. Oh, God, fuck my life. You'll be fine, Mitchell. You'll be fine.

Hold on, I'm going to get my stopwatch out out because I want you to tell me when you're in. I think I should aim for three minutes because I saw online when I was doing my research that you don't get any further benefits if you stay beyond three minutes. Like if you do three minutes or 15, it's no different. Interesting. Three minutes is a long time, Mitchell. That's one song. All right.

My stopwatch is out. Tell us where you're at. I haven't even got my feet in. I'm scared. All right, we'll start with the feet. Okay, I'm going to dip my feet in. Okay, dip the feet in. Tell us how it feels.

Oh, fuck that. Is it really cold? Are you just kidding me? You expect me to sit down in that? Yes, Mitchell. Think of your nervous system the inflammation it's ironic that i'm trying to heal my nervous system but right now i can't feel anything but nervous you know what this tells you just how fucked your mental health is that bad on your feet alone and the feet apparently don't feel the cold as much as the rest of your body you know how you dip your toes in a pool and you're like, oh, it's fine.

And then you dive in and go, actually, I can feel that in my armpits. Yeah, it's when you get to the soft bits under the knees and the elbows. Oh, God, that'll get the neck as well, where all the organs are. Okay. All right, so what's in now? Just your little foot. Yeah, still feet. And I'm in a squat position preparing to sit down, but I just can't do it. What a mental foot. Yeah, still feet and I'm in a squat position preparing to sit down but I just can't do it. What a mental image.

Have we put that GoPro on the base of the bath to get that shot? Alright, come on. No wasting time. Dip. Squat in. Yeah, okay. It's time. Do I start the timer? Yes. Okay, I've started. How does it feel? I mean didn't they say that it's supposed to distract you? You can't think of anything else? I can't think of anything else. Oh, my God.

Listen to the ice cubes. I can hear them moving around. Yeah, me too. They're icebergs, mate. They're huge. How icebergs? How cold is it? How do you feel?

I mean, I can only imagine that an actual ice pool would be colder than this, but this is more than cold enough for me. 30 seconds. 30 seconds, Mitchell. Is that it? Yeah. Yes. Are you fully submerged?

It's like up to my belly button. My bath's not that deep and I don't want to lie down in it. Oh, come on. Why don't you lie down a little bit? Get the small of your back damp. Okay. I didn't bring a hair tie. I don't want to get my hair wet.

50 seconds. Oh, no. Oh, my tits are freezing. Oh, my tits. My tits are freezing. Are you all right? Do you know what? The lower half of my body has gotten completely used to it.

Oh. There we go. That's fantastic, Mitchell. So what's it going to take? Another 30 seconds for my tits to get used to it? Now you're a go. That's fantastic, Mitchell. So what's it going to take another 30 seconds for my tits to get used to it? Now you're a minute 15 in. This is very impressive. How are your bits, your bits downstairs? I don't have bits anymore. As far as I'm concerned, they're gone. I got clip bite. They're gone. Oh, so you've turned the tap off, I hear. Yeah, because otherwise

it'll start overflowing again. We don't want that. Mitchell, you're doing a minute 30. That's really impressive. That's really good. Just why don't you close your eyes and how does your nervous system feel? I mean, distracted, to be fair. I got sore shoulders. I should get in a bit deeper so my shoulders can get in there. Yeah, why don't you lie down? Oh, my God.

What just happened? I'm not joking. That's freezing. What? Are you okay? Yes, actually. You actually sound quite calm. This is the most calm I've ever been talking to.

It weirdly works. Really? Oh, my God. Why don't I come in there and we do a little tag team bath? I don't know if even after four years doing the podcast together, we're close enough to share bath water, you great sorry that's the fucking jan speaking um two minutes 30 seconds wow 30 seconds more and mitchell has hit his goal amazing three minutes you know what the hardest part actually is just the first plunge and then once you're in there you're like

i don't regret it it's a bit like going to the beach it's like anal sex yeah oh we both had very different comparisons there. They both work, actually. They both work. You've just got to let it in. As you know, Jenny, it's what you said to me the first time. Just let it stretch out. Ten seconds.

Wow. Have I actually done it? Mitchell, you're at two minutes, 55, four, three, two, one. Three minutes of ice bath, Mitchell. Your depression is cured. The inflammation is gone. Oh, do I have to get out? Well, actually, the new format of the show brings us to the end.

We're done. So, Mitchell, if we want to get out of here, you can do the closer of the show from the bath. Yeah. Oh, I kind of just got comfortable. All right. Yeah, well, let's wrap the show and you stay from the bath. Are you happy?

Do you actually feel benefits or are you being silly? I'm never silly. Name one time I've been silly. Yeah, he's never silly. Hey, this is your silly goose. This is so silly of you. And the mental health benefits, wow, they're right. Wow.

Actually, I'm starting to shiver uncontrollably. I've got to get out. Yep, you're going to get hypothermia. Now I've got to deal with the Yep, you're going to get hypothermia. Now I've got to deal with the admin of being wet, fully clothed. You haven't thought this through. The air con's on. It's going to feel like after a holiday when you get out of the pool all day and you go to the room and it's freezing.

And after a pool day and you go back to the hotel room, you just feel like a nap. I know, it's all you want. Thank God we're done. All right, all right. Well, let's end the show, Jenna. Yeah, good idea. And then we'll get Mitchell a hot blanket and an aspirin.

Thank you for listening to the show. Five stars. Give us a review, guys. And don't forget, this is only one episode of our new two-episode weekly drop. Hang on, hang on. Cherry, do you want to hear this? Yeah. That was my pants.

Oh, my. I'm now pantless. Oi! Oh, my God. I know that sound. Not normally that damp and heavy. They sounded soiled. Not until after you're done with them.

Well, all right. We'll see you next. Oh, no. We'll see you on Wednesday. Brand new episode of the show Wednesday. Five-star review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever you listen. Mitch is going to go blow dry himself, and we'll see you on Wednesday. Catch you, idiots.

Love you. Bye. Happy four years. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief. It's our second in the end.

I'm still in the bath. He's still there. He's still in the bath. Can you guys chat for a bit? I've got to put my microphone down to take my clothes off. Yeah, you get dressed. Jenna and I can stay occupied here. Yeah, we can chat. By the way, if either of you guys want to try it,

I won't judge you for sharing bath water. Oh, no, no. Once you get out, I'm going to go and dip my toe in you. Okay. I love a bath. I really love a bath. Really? I don't.

We've got one of those at home because I'm with mum and dad at the moment. It's a shower bath. So if you want to shower, you've got to step in over the bath. It's demoralising. That's what mine is. Sometimes I forget it's a shower bath. I'll be halfway through a shower and go, I might just sit down. Yeah.

The best thing about those ones is that once you have a bath you just stand right up and shower that's true fuck have you ever had a really hot bath stood up and then gone oh my heart's about to stop yes like the blood doesn't know fuck i'm here near alone this is the end of me you get the head rush yes it's so bad um well i think, Jenna, you're into holistic health. Have you ever thought about an ice bath? No, I have actually because I recently bought one of those sauna blankets. A heated blanket? What's a sauna blanket? It's actually a sauna in a blanket.

Jenna, you've said the same thing 17 times. It's like when someone says, what's a rocket? And Jenna goes, a rocket. You have to explain it. You can't just use the same words. It's a rocket. What's it called? It's a rocket? And Jenna goes, a rocket. You have to explain it. You can't just use the same words. It's a rocket. What's it called? It's a sauna blanket.

Okay, I'm Googling. Yes. Oh, is it the one that, oh, my God, is it like the one made out of wetsuit material? Yeah. Oh, my God, and you wrap yourself in it like a little burrito. Yeah, I do it every day and I sweat so bad. Does yours look like that?

No. Oh. Mine's flat. Jesus, it looks like one of those reflective alfoil blankets that they give tourists at Bondi Beach when they drown and they live and they go, quickly, wear this tinfoil. It's the same. Oh, well, I'm glad.

I hope there's health benefits for you. There is. Apparently, you lose like 600 calories per 45 minutes. You're kidding. Well, they say that during sex you lose around 500 calories. They do. Maybe that's where all my weight's gone. Yeah.

Kidding. It's been barren recently. All right, I'm coming back. Okay, Mitch is coming out. He's coming. Mum's coming. Oh, I locked it. That's right.

He locked the door. We're not going to perv on you. I really don't have any interest. No. How dare you? No, I'm very comfortable. This Jans is going down a treat. It's not even Jans.

It's Yarra Byrne, dickhead. Oh, you look lovely in your gown. Oh, you look gorgeous. Look at his little peachy ass. Yes. He's not even Jantz. It's Yarra Byrne, dickhead. Oh, you look lovely in your gown. Oh, you look gorgeous. Look at his little peachy ass. Yes. He's in a beautiful tropical silk gown. You literally just said, I don't have any interest. I'm not going to perv on you.

Look at his peachy ass. Yeah, I really flip-flopped. Oh, dear. Take a seat. All right, now you go in. You sit down. I'm going to go in. I'm going to put my toe in.

Just your toe. Just my toe. My shoes are on. Your shoes are on. Are you going to dip your toe in. Just your toe. Just my toe. My shoes are on. Your shoes are on. Are you going to dip your toe? Give me that mic. Here you go. All right.

I've got the portable mic now. Oh, I just rolled my ankle on the Jans cork. It's not Jans. Sorry. What do you think? I mean, I'm looking at a bath. Well, yeah. With three ramekin dishes at the bottom of it.

Yeah, I didn't have time to defrost those. I just had to chuck it in. This looks like Martha Stewart's kitchen after a big night. That's the ugliest bath plug I've ever seen. My apartment didn't come with one, so I had to get a universal plug on Amazon. Oh, it didn't come with one? No. Isn't that bizarre?

How's it going? I'm going to dip my foot in. Yeah, go on. You ready? Yeah. Oh. Oh. You ready?

Yeah. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, this is soothing on my ingrown toenails. Oh. Making a bit of pus come out, though. Ingrown toenails.

No, Mitchell, I'm a pro. This does nothing for me. I'm coming out. What do you mean you're a pro? I'm a pro. I have 30 seconds of cold every morning. I didn't mind that at all i reckon i could i could do that you just wanted a foot bath didn't you yeah i did so i know that you do the shower thing but like do you ever do the full body submersion into the cold water um

no but i went to the beach on my own the day after my birthday um i went i like woke up late i was very hungover and i haven't really been drinking much so this was the most i'd drunk in a while and i'm like i'm gonna walk to the beach and have a beach day. And I plunged myself into the ocean and it completely reset my whole body. Yeah, I'm feeling that now. Oh, yeah. The reset. Yeah.

And it almost works the longer you sit out because you kind of feel everything adjusting. Like it re-acclimatized to the room temperature. It was horrible, make no mistake. And if it had been me on my own, I probably wouldn't have done it. I would have gone, fuck this. But because I had the pressure of the podcast, I had to do it. But now I don't regret it. So maybe I'll do it more often.

Yeah, I reckon you should. Well done. Go to an actual clinic, though, because it would be colder and you'd do it for like a minute. I'll work my way up to that. Breaking news, by the way. Yeah. No, my new glasses never turned up.

I've kept you across the saga. I know. No, my new glasses never turned up. I've kept you across the saga. I know. However, I did just bite the bullet and buy a replacement pair. Oh, well done. Also the exact same? Mm-hmm. Oh, the same design? Yes.

And weren't they like $500? Yeah. Mitchell. Well, like $800 in total. It was just for the frames and then $300 for the lenses. Did they not think that you were an idiot coming back two weeks after buying the original? Not even two weeks. Pardon me.

That's the champagne. Oh, my God. They were quite lovely about it. I sort of – they said, what happened? Where did you lose them? And I told them the abridged version of the story, the whole drinks buying thing. And I think because the guy behind the counter was a bit of a guy himself, he felt a bit bad. So, he gave me like a 30% discount.

Oh, that's really sweet. So it still wasn't super cheap, but like definitely less out of pocket than I could have been. Anyway, do you want to see them? Oh shit, you've got them. I don't want to overhype them because, so you know how you said that the last ones, the understudy pair were a bit boring.

They were, sorry. I don't want to overhype how drastically different these ones are. They're pretty much the same. I've seen a photo of them. We saw the original photo on the rooftop. Photos don't do it justice. That's all I'm going to say. So look away.

Look away. I'll put them on. Okay. Glasses reveal. Right. I'm excited. Glasses are on. Oh.

Oh, they're lovely. Oh, hold on. The side. Oh, the side. Yes, the side. You can see the little. I can see now. The blue streaks through it.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. So, like, you know how old ladies have the tortoise shell, the brown and the black glasses? Yes. Sort of that pattern. It's the same, but it's black and blue instead. I'll take them off.

Pass them down the track. Oh, I need to see these. Here you go. It's like it got inlay. Oh, they're blue. They're actually blue. Yeah. When the light hits them.

Yeah. You wouldn't want to be a bower bird when you're out in the park. I'll make sure they're really nice. They're actually very, very nice. Oh, these are gorgeous. And you know what? The old pair are going to show up. I know.

Knowing my fucking luck, now that I've bought a replacement pair. Let me try them on. Don't break them. I'm not going to break them. My head's thin. Oh, fuck. They suit you too. Yeah, they actually do.

Look at that. They're really nice. These make your eyes look smaller. Really? Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Maybe it's. These make your eyes look smaller. Really? Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Maybe it's all the Botox I got yesterday. Have I spoken about my Botox on the show before?

No, you've just roasted me for my Botox. Double standards. Oh, no, no, no, no, no double standards. It's seriously a memory thing. Well, they look gorgeous, Mitchell. They look lovely. They look very nice. Yeah, you just need to show your current POV.

Me in a gown with a towel on my head. Yeah, Jenna, take a photo of Mitchell. We'll put it on the Facebook page, Enduring Idiots. Yeah, so I got Botox for the first time after the breakup, and I'd never had it before. I was so happy with it. It was such a small amount that I went back yesterday. Anyway, I get to this place, Shape Clinic in Darlinghurst.

If you want to go in Sydney, they're amazing. I pay for it all. Ka-ching, there you go. He didn't want to go in Sydney, they're amazing. I pay for it all. Ka-ching, there you go. He didn't pay for it. No, I'm telling you I pay for it all. I pay for all my Botox. Then why are you giving them a shout-out? The penis enlargement, because I'll send it to them and not pay for the next one.

Have I fucking shouted out my optometrist? No. No, true, true, true. I don't know. Word of mouth. The economy's rough. Small businesses. Actually, no, they make a lot of money.

Anyway, so I walk into Shape Clinic and I walk in and I go, fuck, I can smell cookies. And there's a sign on the wall and it's got the Donna Hay logo on it. And it says, for Donna Hay cookie orders and pickups, level three. And my skincare clinic is level five. And I go, shit, I'm going to go and I'm going to go and get some cookies from the Donna Hay restaurant. Sure. And then I'm late for my appointment so I go, I'll go after. So I some cookies from the Donahay restaurant. Sure. And then I'm

late for my appointment. So I'll go after. So I go get my Botox. I walk out, by the way, look in the mirror covered in Botox marks in my forehead. Yeah, no, it looks like you've been stung by a million bees. So I go down to level three. There's a sign on the wall, go and see the Donahay restaurant. So I go in anyway, it's in like this industrial area. So I walk in, there's the Donahay logos on these two frosted windows. And I open these doors and you know me, like I walk into a building and I'm very excited. I walk in, I go, hello, and I pull these doors open and who's sitting there at a desk but none other than Donna Hay herself.

Really? She's got her own storefront? No, no, no. It was a corporate office. It was frosted doors. So I just assumed there was going to be a bakery in there and I opened the doors and there are nothing but 12 desks, It was an corporate office. It was frosted doors. So I just assumed there was going to be a bakery in there. And I opened the doors and there are nothing but 12 desks,

17 staff standing working on the Donahay mag, four gay interns. There's a test kitchen. Like it was the Bon Appetit. People were whisking eggs. And I walk in and go, hello. Donahay looks up and everyone stops. Like the poof making, the egg stops whisking. Like what do you want? Yeah, the girl typing, stops typing, looks me in the eyes.

Donna Hay just stops what she's doing and she goes, can I help you? And I said, I'm here to buy cookies. And she goes, what the fuck do you mean? And I go, I'm here to buy cookies. And she goes, this is our corporate office. Oh my God. And I was like, oh, but there's signs saying you can buy cookies. And she goes, on Uber Eats. She can buy cookies And she goes On Uber Eats

She's like We operate only on Uber Eats Hang on What did the sign say? The sign did say On Uber Eats Order on Uber Eats And your pickup is upstairs

Like, I need something to line my gunt seriously as do i donna hey now while you order that can we multitask sorry um let's just talk about mitchell cheery's birthday party oh must we so i've been saying to mitch for years this house is sick for a house party why haven't you done it yeah because i'm back with my parents and he goes because I'm just worried that no one will turn up. I'm anxious. The Shire's so far, which is valid. I did catch the train there and I thought, this is nothing. I drive seven hours home to Bogengate.

I can handle a 40-minute train ride to the Shire. 20 minutes in, I thought, how does anyone do this? This is ridiculous. I also caught the train and I thought, when is this going to end? How do you think I fucking feel every fucking day? Do you know that I literally offered Jenna, I said, why don't we meet beforehand and then we can catch the train together because it'll be really fucking boring if you go by yourself.

No, that offer. Do you regret not coming with us? Oh, absolutely. It was boring, right? It was so boring and it went forever. Even with company I was bored as fuck. It's a lot, isn't it? I didn't expect it to be that long.

I don't know because I've caught longer trains. There's something about that route that felt boring. I've caught the train to Dubbo and it felt quicker than that. Oh, grow up. It's a scenic route by the sea. Anyway, so we get to the place. Worth it because it's sick for a house party as I've said. It's gorgeous.

Beautiful. And then as I enter, Mitchell Cheery's father, Mark, was like, gamesy. He loves you. Have a tequila shot. And I was like, oh, okay, Mark. Thank you. Yep. Lick my hand.

I've got the salt. And then do the shot, the lime, the whole shebang. Yeah, of course. And then he goes, have another one, mate. And I was like, Mark, I'll go feral. I don't think you understand what tequila does to me. Give him my track record. I don't think that's for the best.

And he goes, I'll go on. Yeah, he loves that. Meanwhile, he's prying Sean with tequila shots. And then he offers me a third. And I thought, Mark, no, you don't want that. Trust me. And then the rest of the night, he kept offering me shots. He was like going for it.

And because he runs an alcohol company, he was bringing me out samples of different things they're releasing. He texted me today and said, can I get Coombs' home address? I've got a PR gift for you. I'm not joking. I should have brought it. It was good shit. Yeah, he makes a good drop, Mr. Cheery.

And so, yeah, your father got me well and truly tipsy. Yeah. And then came time to do the cake. Yes. Can I just set context? My parents love a party. That's half the reason I said let's do it at home because in my eyes it's my last Shire house party while I live at home and mum

and dad love, love, love. My parents were there the whole night socialising with my friends. Oh, great. But even when you didn't live at home and you had the bloody housewarming. At my old house, yeah. Yeah, your parents were there. Bloody Michelle was making 14 lasagnas in the kitchen the whole time. She can't help herself.

She was. It doesn't matter if she lives with you or not. She loves catering. She does. And she fucking did an awesome job, by the way. She did an amazing job. The pulled pork sliders were exceptional, Michelle. They were, Michelle, if you're listening, which I know you're not,

but it doesn't matter. Shout out to Michelle. You'll get free food next time. And so it came time to do the birthday cake and all that. Yes, correct. And so it came time to do the birthday cake and all that. Yes, correct. The apple didn't fall far from the tree because your parents waffled on.

They did, didn't they? It was lovely. It was only a 28th, for fuck's sake. It was like you were dying. I know. And wasn't it traumatic? Mum gets up and goes, Mitch, is everyone who knows Mitch is known? He's had a real rough six months. Yes.

Oh, fucking hell. Yeah, here we go. No, Mum, move on. He lost the love of his life. Shut up. Mum made a speech. Dad made a speech. Becky, my oldest sister, made a speech.

And then Brittany Hockley, your co-host, made a speech. From the pickup on Kiss, yes. And I thought to myself, fuck, that's interesting that they asked her but not me. They've asked one co-host but not the other to make a speech. But then I thought, actually, she can have it. I don't want to make a speech. And then I saw Mark and Michelle conspiring.

I could see them whispering to each other and then looking directly at me, whispering to each other again. I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I can just imagine the conversation. Oh, we better get Coombsy to make a speech. Yeah, of course. And I thought, fuck me if they ask me to make a speech because Mark's pried me with so much alcohol. Yeah. I can't imagine the conversation. Oh, we better get Coombsy to make a speech. Yeah, of course. And I thought, fuck me if they ask me to make a speech because Mark's pried me with so much alcohol.

Yeah. I can't be coherent right now. And Mitch was kind of buried in the middle of the group. There was about 40 people there. You're in the middle of the group towards the back. And me and my family were standing on the tiered step. So we were above everyone else. Yeah.

I literally felt like I was getting on stage doing a stand-up show. Yes. I was like, fuck, what am I doing? Yeah. And so I was called up for a speech and then they must have seen that I was thinking, I can't do this because they were like, Jenna, you get up too. You get up too, Jenna.

So both Jenna and I were forced to make an impromptu speech at Mitch's 28th of all birthday. Listen, it was filmed and I have the audio. Yeah, this is what I'm worried about. I don't want to hear this because I couldn't think of anything on the spot. And also I would like to add that by this point I'd read the room. Everyone was fucking sick of speeches. The juries go on and on.

And there was cake there ready to go. And so I thought I'll keep it short and sweet, but also genuinely I couldn't think of anything to say on the spot. It was so much pressure. Well, poor Carla from Bankstown was holding the cake. Yeah. And Ben's arms were about to snap off. It looked heavy. You've been holding it for half an hour. All right, so this is Mitch and Jenna's Carla from Bankstown was holding the cake. Yeah. And Ben's arms were about to snap off. It looked heavy.

For half an hour. All right. So this is Mitch and Jenna's moment at my birthday. I can't listen. Let's roll it. I'm scared. Take a listen. Hi, I'm the cash cock.

And I was like, who? That was five years ago or something. Ever since then, our friendship has blossomed. And I love you very much. Jenna. Aww. has blossomed and I love you very much. I actually don't think I can listen. My nervous system is back to where it was. I was not fucking prepared for this. Should I be

an asshole? Yeah. It's interesting that you were premature because you're fucking late ever since. Great. Yeah, that's because your mum was just talking about your premature birth. But I mean, everyone here could obviously not argue

with the fact that you're fiercely loyal. Yes. You've got a huge heart. At this point, I'm being interrupted. You are. I will say that I have been telling you since around 2018, fuck me, this house is perfect for a house party. We are having a house party.

Thank God you finally took my advice. Anyway, that cake looks heavy. I'll wrap this shit right up. Do you know what? It wasn't as bad as I remember. That was great, Mitchell. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, you did very well.

I did last longer than Jenna. Yes. Fucking Jenna. So that grab you just played there, obviously someone started filming after Jenna started talking, but you didn't miss much. No, before that I'd spoken for about three minutes. No, you hadn't.

She got up there and she went, oh, I remember when I first met Mitch, and that's about where the audio picked up. No, no, I don't think so. Jenna actually did a full performance, song and dance. Yes. She did mime. She was stuck in that box all night.

I really enjoyed the party. Thank you for coming, guys. I had a very fun time. I wasn't finished, by the way. Oh. And then after the speeches. Oh, God. One thing obviously led to the other and then next minute I see Mitchell

Cherry smacking a dowry down his face yes i know we got to end the show yeah i was like all the judgment about my prior vaping habit how dare you but you didn't get a nosebleed to your credit i didn't get a nosebleed no well i think i'm healthy now so my body's like yeah we can have a bit of nicotine where before it was the last straw. The irony of that. I know. We're healthy enough to ruin our health.

I went on a 9K run the day of my birthday. I could afford half a pack of ciggies. It always comes back to running, doesn't it? It does. Well, I'm a runner now. Well, you know what happened? It's because we were all like, we need alcohol. And because my house is all packed up in boxes,

there's one box that just had alcohol on it because I raided all the alcohol from my old house. And then we needed vodka or something. So I rip open this box in the garage and on top of it are like packs of cigarettes that I imported from Hawaii when I went. But I just had packed them up. And I was like, oh, my God. I actually did notice the lack of plain packaging.

I was like, how long has Mark Turi been hoarding these from the 80s? No, no. I brought them back from America in July. Do I have permission to post the photo in our Facebook group? Because it is so funny. Anyone who's familiar with, you know, Kath and Kim's work, you'd remember the Lynn and Carmel skits. I said love.

I said pet. Magnus Ibanski with the diary. It was very that energy. Can I post that in the group? Not on social media. On the group. On the group's fine, yeah. Yeah, no.

And everyone listening right now, you darling idiots, you loyal idiots, you have to promise not to post it anywhere. Yeah, please don't. Because I'm going to share Mitchell Cheery having a fag. That could end my career. But also, it's not in your mouth in the photo, so you can argue later. I was just posing. Oh, just say I was auditioning for Elvis' biopic and it was herbal. Fat Elvis, of course. It's herbal. And that's why you got the hair. I was just posing. Oh, just say I was auditioning for Elvis biopic and it was herbal.

Fat Elvis, of course. And that's why you got the hair. Yeah, of course, the hair. Makes sense. Well, you also posted, did you get my consent, because I was drunk, to post the video of me drinking a beer from a dildo? Yeah, and your exact words were, yeah, fuck it, I look good. It's true.

You did say that. It's true. I did look good too. My jawline sucking that little cock was great. And honestly, this party really suited me because by the looks of all the photos and stuff we're going to share with you and already have shared with you, it looks like a wild night. But I was home by 11.

It was fucking perfect. I love a late afternoon start. Yeah, well, it started at five. So everyone was day drinking and then by the time it got to ten, it had already been going for five hours. I know. I was in bed by one. It was great.

Poor All Right Hay missed the memo because he turned up at 10.30 as everyone was leaving. No, and I give him so much props because he still partied and still bought a gift and came late and was really warm. And gave me a lift home. Legend. We love All Right Hay. All right, well, we have another episode on Wednesday, so let's go.

Yeah, we can't blow our load here. No, God no. Thank you for listening to the show. Hope you enjoy the new two shows a week format. You're going to get us in two days. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 1.5% better. That's all. Oh, I like it.
