This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. I didn't even drink at my own 18th because I was adamant that, oh no, I'm not going to drink when I'm an adult.

It's so unnecessary, you don't need alcohol to have fun. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Fuck that! 18 year old you would be so disappointed in me. Yeah. Cheers to that. Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you.

Hello, you. Oh, hello. I'm feeling a bit of pressure right now. Oh, why? Because last week, when we launched our new double episode format, our first ever Wednesday episode. Yeah. Last week when we launched our new double episode format, our first ever Wednesday episode, everyone said it was way more chaotic and way more fun than a normal Monday episode. So I'm feeling pressure right now because I'm not feeling that chaotic, but I could

get there. Also, what you get, you don't get upset. Every week is different, guys. Calm down. Last week was chaotic because we had fucking 19 kilos of Donahue cookies. That's true. We had a sugar rush and also a couple of champagnes in us. Oh, my God.

We were tipsy. Although your dad does run an alcohol company. Where are we at with all that free grog he promised me? Oh, my God. My dad is obsessed with you. So my birthday party the other week, Mitch and Dad, every time I was looking for you or Dad, you were together. Yeah.

Like two peas in a pod. We had a great time, Mark and I. He loves you. He calls you Coombsy. I love that. He loves your reels too. He always says to me. I think I. He loves you. He calls you Coombsy. I love that. He loves your reels too. He always says to me. I think he's the only person that actually calls me Coombsy.

Yeah. But people call my dad Coombsy. I'm so funny. He's obsessed with you. He loves you so much. I love it. Is he home right now? He might be home.

You can call him. That's so lazy. Dad! No, don't do it now. I think that at some point today, I need a Mark Turi pep talk. Oh. Because you're always going on about how he sends you inspirational quotes and he sends you self-help podcasts and things like that.

Maybe I need a taste of what it's like to be parented by Mark Turi. Being parented by Mark Turi is interesting. He really flips on the parenting switch and Dad will send me daily affirmations. He'll send me a reel on Instagram that he finds inspiring. Obviously one of mine. Yes. Yes, of course. Yeah. He sends me if I'm stressed or I've told him about work, things that are going on, or even during the breakup, he was so good. He's great at that stuff. Yeah. He's a big believer in therapy and active thinking and blah, blah, blah. Well, that's good. I like that because some people, you know, our parents' generation, some people are very anti-therapy.

Oh, no. Dad's got a very open mind. And a big heart. He's so sweet. Bless Dad. Mark Ture. Well, we'll see if he's home. I don't know.

He probably is. He's gurneying the backyard or something. Staining the fucking pool tiles. Like, he's such a man. Flick him a text. Maybe later in the episode we'll get him on to give me a pep talk. Yeah, I just sent him one. Okay, good.

Let's see what he says. Well, welcome to the show, everyone. Also coming up today, you're going to talk to us apparently about an awkward moment while you've been on tour because you're traveling around the country with your radio co-hosts and your live shows with them. Correct. They and I are in many airports. We're doing like three shows a week for the whole month of October.

And I had a horrific experience at an airport. I ruined the holiday of another couple that would just happen to be next to us. That's a big call. I'm very curious about this. I can't wait to judge you. Well, Britt and Laura really ruled their iron fist and said they were, they actually said they were disappointed in me was the words that they used. So I'd like to get your vibe.

I'm not often in the wrong, as you know. So I think this will, I think you'll side with me and I'd love to get everyone's opinion. So that's coming up too. We'll see. We'll see. Yeah, listen. Well, if it is your first time listening, hello. We start every show with an, is it just me?

Something that we've noticed, we hate or appreciate. Today, shall we kick it off with um with a listener let's go to jess coming to us from penrith hello jess hi boy hey darling nice to have you back we've spoken to you before haven't we we have spoken before i thought so you're a panther supporter so you must be stoked after the grand final. Up the Panthers. Up the mighty fucking Panthers. That was my birthday weekend, so I didn't even watch the NRL grand final this year. I watched it with my friends and got oddly into it.

Really? I was shocked. Yeah, I thought that we had a new Panthers fan in you, Coombs. Yeah, well, I kind of tuned in for the last 15 minutes, and during that 15 minutes is when they had the triumphant return. It looked like they were going to lose. And it was so exciting to be swept up in that. Wait, what is your team naturally? Do you have one? I used to pretend, because I was raised watching NRL, right? AFL, not really on me radar,

but I was raised watching NRL. And so it all came rushing back to me. But I used to, as a child, claim to be a Knights supporter only because my primary school best friend was also a Knights supporter. So I just kind of copied him. True. Well, I'm a Cronulla Sharkies boy. The stadium's just around the corner from where we are now. Okay. Get off it, Jess. All right. Well, you've got an, you've got an, is it just, is it just you? Is it just me of your own? I do. Yeah. Okay, cool.

All right. Let's hear it, Jess. Go for it. Is it just me or? Does it piss you off when people don't put their trolleys back properly? Oh, is that a Penrith thing? Because one of our family friends from Penrith, that is the thing that she gets triggered by the most. If I'm hanging out with her in Penrith,

she'll see someone leave their trolley in the fucking car park of Penrith Plaza and just go off. It's the quickest way to send her into a rage. Yeah, I completely agree. It happened to me this morning and Woolies have two different sized trolleys. Yeah. So there was two trolley bays and someone put the two big trolleys one in one and one in the other one and I had the little, so I had to take the one big one out. Oh, you had to rearrange them. And then put my little one in. and one in the other one and i had the little so i had to take the one big one i had to rearrange them put my little one in oh that's annoying how hard is it for people to just

fucking do the right thing it's so easy just put your trolley back in the right trolley bay i will say though i am one of those people that if i'm in a real rush don't be rude to me but i will sometimes dump my trolley not in anyone's way but i will like put it like behind the parking spot if there's heaps of free space there but those things can easily just they've got a mind of their own it could just roll away into someone's vehicle i know you but it won't i'm very good i'll wedge like a pump bottle between the wheel or something you know so you litter too yeah fuck I'm really outing myself here. People who put them behind cars or leave them in open parking spots grow up.

Or like if you go to Audi, then you can't get your coin back. Yeah, the $2 coin. When are they going to phase that out? Because I don't carry coins. I have not done so for years. I had to buy the little key ring. Yeah, all the women in my family have the little Audi key ring, and it goes in.

Bless them. I don't go to Audi enough to warrant that, honestly. Yeah, and you've got to pack your bags yourself. For Christ's sake. I know. There's a lot of pressure. A lot of pressure. And the way that they throw those groceries with such Swedish anger,

they just ditch it down that aisle. And they don't talk to you. They're not warm. It's all metallic. Like, I don't love the aesthetic of an Audi, but they've got a good grog shop in there, which I like. Oh, that fucking $4 Aldi Rose. That shit's dangerous, let me tell you.

Oh, God, yeah. It goes down a treat. Oh, it goes down a treat and then comes up a fucking mess. I'm sure. I haven't been on a trolley rant in a while, but I've got a new favorite trolley. Would you like to hear it? Oh, yeah. I forgot that you're a bit obsessed with trolleys. No, I'm a trolley connoisseur. Jess, would you like to hear my favorite trolley rant in a while, but I've got a new favorite trolley. Would you like to hear it? Oh yeah. I forgot that you're a bit obsessed with trolleys.

No, I'm a trolley connoisseur. Jess, would you like to hear my favorite trolley? I would love to. Thank you. It comes in waves. It was the Coles mini trolley. So not the giant deep one, the smaller trolley. Yeah. The one that's a bit higher up. Yes. My new favorite obsession is the Woolworths mini trolley. Got the green handlebars like you're in a Mario Kart. They're so gorgeous. It's got the bar in front of you, but then on the left and the right,

they're like two joysticks. They look like two sex toys. What? And you hold them. That's the trolley I had today. Yes, you could sit on it if you want. What do you mean like sex toys? I don't know what you're talking about.

Google modern Woolies trolley. And then this one had a spot for your phone to put your phone in. Really? Yes. And it also had a drink cup holder. And it also had an aisle index, like aisle one, bread. Aisle two, milk. Aisle three, dairy.

Oh, I found a photo. I know what you're talking about now. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, they are a bit fancy. I go to one of those Woolworths metros that don't even fucking have trolleys. I can't remember the last time I used the trolley now that I think about it. I've just got that little old lady trolley thing that you gave me for Christmas. Remember? Do you still use that? Yes. Cause there's no trolleys

at my Woolworths. God, I'm a good friend. What a great gift that was. Yeah. The cup holder, the little handlebars, it does just look a little bit more sophisticated. It does. It's just so much fun to hold. So, Coles, lift your fucking game. I'm so excited for the future of trolleys in this country. I really am. As long as you bloody put them away. Yeah, put them away.

Put them away. Jess, thank you for coming on the show. Send us a DM to thecoupleofmitchesinsta. Yeah, can I just say one thing before I go? Yeah, go on. Yeah, I wanted to say thank you to you both for being the sweetest humans. Oh. I was going through a bit of a hard time with mental health earlier in the year.

I was a bit burnt out from work. And you replied to me and said message me whenever, and I thought that was really sweet. Oh, of course. I mean it. I stand by it. When I've DMed you both separately, you've always replied. Yeah.

How are you doing now? You feeling good? So much better. And I just found out I'm pregnant too. Oh, my God. Oh, congratulations, Jess. Thank you. Oh, that's gorgeous.

Oh. Well, prepare to be burnt out all over again. Well, yeah. That's so exciting. Nice to talk to you again. And no need to thank us, although I will say a bit of a miracle that Cherry has looped in with people who always reply. That's rare for him.

You must be a special one, Jess. I know. I was shocked. He gave me a voice memo and everything. I did. Well, that's my new thing. I send voice memos. It's so much easier than replying.

No, because I, and I'll be honest, when I had my breakup and was very open on this podcast, I got so many nice messages from idiots. So when I get messages from the idiots, a lot of the other people I ignore, but the idiots I will never ignore because I adore them so much. That was the time. All right, Jess, we love you. Thanks for listening to the show. Love you, Jess.

Thanks, boys. Love you. See you, darling. We love you. Bye. God, if you want to get on the show as well, DM us, couple of Mitches, and we'll get you on with an Is It Just You. Yeah, you can DM us or you can send us a text 0422 948 202.

That's how you get on with an is it just me of your own. Definitely. Speaking of which, I've just learnt that number off by heart, but I want every single one of our listeners, our darling idiots, to also learn the number off by heart. And so a little later in this episode, we're going to be coming up with a jingle for it. Yeah. And I'm actually nervous for this. We've done jingles before, but this is going to be- That's for random shit like trees.

Yeah. This is going to be for the actual show. Yeah. We're going to use this. Oh my God. We'll come back to that in a bit. Yeah. It's on the way.

Right. So as I mentioned on the last episode, you'd see on my socials and it's all I'm really talking about. God, Christ on a bike, I'm exhausted. I'm on a national tour with the Life Uncut Girls. Brittany and Laura, they host the Life Uncut podcast. They're also your radio co-hosts. Yes, we host the pickup every afternoon. Anyway, they've asked me to open for their podcast tour.

So they're doing like two hours worth of podcast material. I do like 10 minutes of stand-up at the start. I didn't know you had a tight 10 in your pocket. I do. It's very loose. Actually, I ran over by four minutes. They're like, hey, you were four minutes over. How selfish.

You're hogging their time. Is that like a comics? Is that bad? Should I not be doing that? Well, you're not really in a stand-up setting. No. But if they're trying to run an actual comedy night where there's a lineup of maybe seven or so, they usually put the more famous ones at the end and they get 10 minutes and everyone else

gets a tight five. Ah, interesting. So if you run over, it's kind of like, babes, stay in your lane. Yeah. You're not the big name. Yeah. Got it. Anyway, so I'm doing some standup.

It's very fun. I really enjoy it. I can see why you like it. It's very cool. Anyway, so I'm just touring with the girls and we were in Adelaide. It was the first stop on the tour and we all go, we're like fucking starving. Yeah. We're hungry. They didn't give you a snack on the girls. And we were in Adelaide. It was the first stop on the tour. And we all go, we're like fucking starving. Yeah. We're hungry.

They didn't give you a snack on the flight. No, it was Virgin. We're flying Virgin. It's no Qantas. They usually have a snack. Do they? We didn't get it. You have to pay for it.

Oh, and it's always you need a physical card. Yeah, I don't like that. So we get off the flight. We go, let's get a sandwich. And it was sole origin. Easy airport food. So is this the incident that you mentioned your co-host, Britt and Laura, were highly disappointed in you? Yes.

And so I now need to judge if I'm also disappointed in you. Correct. Don't forget that they are, you know, they're progressive queens. Yeah. Their whole brand is, their catchphrase is, we love love for God's sake. Right. Their listeners are called lifers. Does anyone hate love though?

No. We love love. Okay. Their listeners are called lifers. Does anyone hate love though? No. We love love. Okay. I can't stand it personally. I'm sure there'd be one person. But it couldn't be more different from our podcast. I see. Our idiot solicitors.

We call our listeners idiots, yes. Anyway, so we're at the cafe getting food and everyone's just gotten off the plane. So it's kind of a big line. So Britt orders her sandwich. Laura orders her sandwich. I go up. And as I'm ordering, this couple are next to me. And they're also ordering.

And they are the quintessential Aussie boomers, probably 55 to 65. Okay. Travellers. And they had just gotten to Adelaide. I shit you not. I love SA was what was written on this man's T-shirt. Oh, God. They're leaning all the way in.

They love it. Oh, yeah. He had a Cobra on. He had one of those backpacks that looks like he was about to trek Nepal base camp to Mount Everest. I'm just picturing they're the types that would have printed off all their tickets and their flight details. They printed them.

Yes. And they had three suitcases and then she had a tote bag full of it. It was very sweet. And you could just hear in their tone they were a little stressed. You know, they had three suitcases and then she had a tote bag full of it. It was very sweet. And you could just hear in their tone, they were a little stressed. You know, they'd just gotten off the flight. They clearly had a connection or they had a bus to get on. So they're sitting there. Why were they wearing I Heart SA shirts and they've only just arrived? That's brave. How do you know? You haven't judged it yet. Dedication. Yeah, that's very true. So they're wearing the shirts. They're excited. And I go,

I'm going to get one wrap. I just want a chicken wrap. They've got kids as well. There are kids behind. They've got friends or they might be with a group. So they order a shit ton of food. So I'm talking to Britt and Laura. We're having fun.

I double tap my Apple Pay. I pay past my food. And the sole origin worker looks at me and goes, oh, no, no, sir. No, you've just paid for their meal. Oh, really? Yes. How generous. Well, hold on. And I go, oh, shit, go oh shit have i and she goes yeah yours was four dollars no how much was theirs mine was eight

dollars i don't want to embellish yours was eight dollars theirs was 45 for all their food so i go oh shit the guy looks at me and he goes oh what's happened and i go i'm so sorry mate i've just paid for your food it's a weird thing to apologize for and he goes to me thank you so much mate thank you that's me on the shoulder he thought it was a random act of kindness he thought it was a pay it forward he thought i was on ellen oh dear so i go oh no no no no can we please refund that if you don't mind we'll refund it and we'll just sort it out oh because it just kind of i just felt in the moment it was 45 and i said just refund it and the lady went you want me to refund it and i said can you she went yes it's easy enough so she refunded it i paid mine and the wife then clocked on and goes thank you honey thank you are you are you traveling too it's our

first time here and i sort of spoke to her and then said, oh, no, it's been refunded now. So, yeah, you'll have to pay for that. Oh, no. So then they went, oh, all right. And I was so awkward. I just walked off. Britt and Laura see this all happen and are mortified. They are genuinely mortified.

They thought what I should have done was gone, you just pay for my $8 wrap and we'll call it a day. This is tricky actually. What do you stand? Because ethically, I get it. In the moment I was stressed, I'd just been on a long flight. It just came over me. And now I think about it, I go, fuck, I should have just paid for their meal. Well, I'm surprised that you didn't take the opportunity to look like the good Samaritan. Don't even ask them to pay for your $8 wrap. Just go, oh, whoops, I paid for you for your bit. It's fine.

I got this. You guys enjoy. I'm surprised you didn't take the opportunity to kind of show off. I'm not made of money. I don't know. It's $45. I know, but I just. And also a tax write-off because you're travelling.

Oh, my God, true. For work. Yeah, it is for work. Now, Mitchell, I didn't and I feel really bad. What would you have done? Would you have processed the refund? Well, you're within your rights to ask for the refund. That, it is for work. Now, Mitchell, I didn't and I feel really bad. What would you have done? Would you have processed the refund? Well, you're within your rights to ask for the refund. That's the thing.

Yes. And so I probably would have asked for the refund if I'd just noticed the mistake and no one had overheard it. Yeah. But if it gets to the point where they're thanking you, thinking you've done this kind of thing, that's where I'd be like, fuck, I'm in too deep. I'll just cop it. I'll own it and go, no, you're so welcome.

$45, no big deal, guys. Enjoy your trip. Have a safe one, blah, blah, blah. If they've already made the mistake and they think that you've shouted them and then you proceed to go, nah, I'm not. Fuck you. I know. That's so awkward.

The problem is I'm a people pleaser by nature and I'm trying to get out of that. That's why I'm surprised. I know because I'm actively trying to not be a people pleaser because it's hurting me. And in this moment I was like, no, I've made a mistake. I'll just process it to what it should have been. And what was their reaction? I could not face them.

I walked off. I had to. Wow. But the thing is all they had to do was just – nothing happened to them. They didn't get duped. They didn't have any less money in the end. They didn't make any money. They didn't lose any money.

They just paid for their lunch. They were obviously prepared to pay the 45 bucks. They're good for it, but that's not the issue. It was more just the fact that the kind gesture was ripped away from them. And they were like, oh, maybe society isn't that great after all. Well, you know my energy as well. When something happens, I kind of just go into that weird boastful Burt Newton energy. Yeah. Like I said, I'm shocked that you didn't do that. The lady said to me, you've paid for their order. And he said, what's happened? And I said, I've

paid for your food, mate. So he assumed it was me going, I've paid for your food. It's fine. You're welcome. I was smiling. I feel like such a bastard. I actually did that once at the supermarket. This is a few years ago before every single supermarket just had the fucking self-serve. And sometimes I'm in the mood to use self-serve. Sometimes I'm like, you know what, just someone else take it off my hands. Fuck it. Yeah so i can relax for a bit i'll let someone else do it yeah um and this particular occasion someone was going through it was like a middle-aged woman and her son and they were just getting like a cold sandwich and like a little can of fanter or something right and there wasn't enough money on her card and then i could see her fucking rattling around her purse trying to find all the coins and gather together all the shrapnel

for this food because there wasn't enough on her card. And I'd like to say that this was a random act of kindness from me, me just going, I'll get it, don't worry, because I did do that. I just paid for it. But it wasn't because I was trying to be kind to a stranger. It's because I was in a fucking rush. And I'm like, the quicker we get this transaction sorted, then I'll be the next in line and I'm out of here.

So because I didn't have the patience to deal with her pissing around in her purse, I was like, I'll just bloody pay for it. And she's like, thank you so much. That is so lovely. And I was like, it's so fine. And then after her transaction's done, we move on to mine. And she sort of loitered a bit. I think she felt obliged to sort of get to know me anyway.

She goes, oh, thank you so much. Normally this wouldn't happen. It just kept going on and on and on. I was like, no, it's fine. It's done. It's sorted. We're done. Go.

Yeah, move. You're in the way. How much was it in the end? How much did you pay? Oh, it might have been 11 bucks or something. Oh, that's fine. They got like a bloody supermarket sandwich and a can of drink each or something. I can't remember exactly.

This was a few years ago. But I was just like, yeah, no, I'll sort it. It's fine because I could tell that she was a bit frazzled too. But yeah, I did a random act of kindness to a stranger. Mitchell, you can't. Had it been 45 bucks, I'd like to think I would. Yeah. You know?

Well, you just throw money at all your problems. That's how you solve everything. Yeah. It doesn't always work though. No. Like, oh, I've got a sore neck. I'm going to piss away so much money on fucking massages, chiro appointments. The neck's still sore. Yes. But in my mind, I'm like, I'm trying to pay for it to go away. So surely it will. You've got the deep heat spray. You've got the hot heap spray.

You've got every trick there is. You've got the massage that sits in your lounge room couch for people to use. You know what I found out the other day? Yes. I've got a scan done on my neck. Oh. And the report from the scan said that I was showing signs of straight neck. And I was like, how dare you call my neck straight? Nothing straight about it. How fucking dare you?

And I was like, what does that even mean? And apparently it means instead of having that natural c curve in your neck it's kind of just straight like a ruler oh and i was like oh i think that might be self-inflicted why because in amongst me trying to improve my posture after all the rsis and the fucking injuries and stuff from having poor posture and poor ergonomics. When I sit up straight, you know, if you're told to sit up straight, I think instinctively I just sit the whole body up straight, including the neck. Yeah, of course.

And so I think I've accidentally given myself a straight neck. You've misaligned yourself. So now I'm deliberately having to like curve it like this. It's very weird. You've got a straight neck. It's a lot to think about. You'd think just sitting on a chair you can just sit and relax. Now there's so much to think about.

I'm like, oh, is my back straight enough but the neck's not straight enough, the shoulders are relaxed. There's a lot to think about. You'd think just sitting on a chair, you can just sit and relax. Now there's so much to think about. I'm like, oh, is my back straight enough? But the neck's not straight enough. The shoulders are relaxed. There's a lot going on. So I just throw money at it and hope that it'll be fixed. And you've still got the straightest neck of all time. I know. It listens to Nickelback.

Google straight neck. I'm looking for photos. Okay. You'll see the difference. I don't have a full on straight neck, but I'm showing early signs of straight neck. Did you get an MRI? Nah, CT. Shit, straight neck comes up.

It's a thing. Yeah. Also known as military neck. Yep. Wow. Mitchell. The neck's supposed to have a curve. So are you actively trying to curve it now?

Yes. Show me. Look. Oh, you poor thing. It's going to give you a fucking headache. Oh, I've already got a headache. Hosting this show with you. Is it just me?

Make sure you leave a review on your podcast app. If you don't, you're a little bitch. Now, if you are not yet a part of our Facebook group, Endurant Idiots, I don't know what's taken you so long. Christ on a bike, if you're a fan on this show, you should be in our Facebook group. I like to think that most people listening right now are already part of Enduring Idiots on Facebook, but hey, if I'm wrong and you right now listening have not yet joined the group, I'll pop a link in the show notes today because

you've got to get amongst it and this is where we get a lot of feedback. Most of it's lovely feedback. Sometimes it's a bit of criticism, but that's okay. We'll cop it. Yeah, we can take it on the chin. We can cop it on the chin. It's also a nice little community we've built. There's such sweethearts in the group.

It's so gorgeous. I love that people just shitpost random things that come to their mind in that group too. It's my favorite part of it. I know. So we got this post from Harley that said, I'm sitting in the waiting area at the doctor's office and what plays on TV? None other than the reading, writing hotline. I had no idea that ad was still on air. We all remember this ad,

don't we? If you have trouble reading, that's something you can fix. 1-3-double-0-6-triple-5-0-6. That's the reading Writing Hotline. Oh, iconic. This is my childhood. Sounds like my childhood. I think they changed the jingle, though. That's the OG. That's the iconic one that everyone remembers. It's way more catchy.

It's so boring. Why would you change a jingle? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Let me find the new one. The new one's not as good. It's just some bloke. Is it like a remixed version of the original? No.

Oh, that's stupid. Ready? What dumb male CEO made that choice? 1-3-double-0-6-triple-5-0-6. Awful. It could change your life. Could it just? That's disgusting.

Yeah, no, so that one, not as catchy. But hey, we all remember the number, don't we? Yeah, 1-3-double-0-6-triple-5-0-6. And so we also got another post in our Facebook group, a lot of jingle chat in our group this week. Lots of chat, yeah. We got this from Kynan. It said, I feel like in the interest of remembering the phone number,

a jingle needs to be made for the new phone number because we used to have a different text line, right, that people could text us on. And then we had to get a new number and it took me ages to memorise the new number off by heart. I had the old one down, Pat. I memorised that pretty quick and then I had this new number to try and remember. So Kynan has a point.

Maybe it's easier for me and everyone else to remember it if there's an iconic jingle because there's something to be said for jingles, isn't there? Oh, 100%. People have their favourite jingles but also at the end of the day, I remember watching The Celebrity Apprentice all these years ago and the head of the marketing gurus, I think it was Mark Burris from the Yellow Brick Road, was like, a jingle is so important. And one of the challenges was come up with a jingle. And to this day, I still remember the jingles.

Yeah. He's got a point. I'm surprised that we didn't think of this ourselves. We're stupid. We're marketing geniuses, but we didn't think of it. So just for a bit of inspiration, right now, I'm doing a top five jingles, okay? Oh, I love it so much. Edgem top five. Yeah, because that bloody reading writing hotline gave me a fat nostalgia hit. So here's a few more.

Okay, so are they all Australian? Where are these jingles coming from? Yeah, these are all Aussie. Yeah, okay. And so coming in at number five, this is a more recent one. This is not nostalgic. This isn't from our childhood, but I couldn't not include it because I just think that it's so effective. Right. So maybe I should quiz you before I play the jingle. I'll tell you who it is and see if you remember it. Oh, if I remember the number,

which no, it's not a number. Not all of these involve a phone number. Ours will of course. Yes. But, um, let's just see if you remember all of these involve a phone number. Ours will, of course. Yes. But let's just see if you remember all these jingles before I have to play them to you. Okay, I'm ready. So, coming in at number five. Hello? It's Menu Log. Oh, God. Did somebody say Menu Log? Correct. Yeah. M-E-N-U-M-O-G

Somebody say Menu Log. Right? That's so good. It is funny, though, because in other countries it's not menu log. It's something else. It's just eats, I think. It's just eats, yes. Did somebody say just eats? And they got Katy Perry singing the songs.

Yeah, we've got that one, too. Yeah, oh, my God. Oh, she wants a curry in a hurry. That was iconic. She wants to eat some sushi while she watches a movie. Yeah, of course. And we all do. It's natural.

I do love the Katy Perry version, I will say. It really had a moment culturally. People were listening to it as a song. Yeah, like it's on Spotify and Apple. You can stream the song like a normal song. It's so bizarre. I think it's brilliant. Those ads, they pumped so much money into those menu log ads.

But it worked. Well, did it? Because I actually forget that menu log exists sometimes. Oh, I don't's brilliant. Those ads, they pumped so much money into those menu log ads. But it worked. Well, did it? Because I actually forget that menu log exists sometimes. Oh, I don't use it. But I have brand recognition. I know that it exists, but I would never use it. Now, coming in at number four in the top five jingles. Interesting.

Bunnings Warehouse. Go on. Do you know this one? Oh, yeah. Bunnings Warehouse. Lowest prices. Just the beginning. You didn't even sing the jingle bit.

Oh. Bunnings Warehouse. Yeah, that's all you need. Here it is. During this bit, you've usually got someone in an apron going, you know, Bunnings is the best place to spoil Dad this Father's Day. Yeah, 100%. A Bunnings gift card.

There's so many options for Father's Day. Oh, fuck, hurry up. Bunnings Warehouse. Lowest prices are just the beginning. Perfect. Fuck, that's so good. And they've had that same jingle for ages. That's all you need, that little Barney's Warehouse, just that little tune.

And they will never change it. And if they do, stupidity. Well, why would they? Why would you have to change it? And it's always, I even know their secondary tagline, which is find a cheaper item elsewhere. We'll beat it by 10%. Yeah. Love that.

Now, I got a bit torn about what to put in the top three. Oh, God. So I'll also give you honourable mentions later. Okay. But I ran with this because it's simple, it's effective, it's just a quick little jingle. Yeah. What is the brand?

Coming in at number three, it's Amy. Oh, yeah. Lucky, you're with Amy. Bingo. That's all you need. Lucky you're with Amy. Oh, yeah. Simple, effective, gorgeous.

Their ads are great. They have fun in their ads. They've got that beautiful brunette girl with a bob. She's got the earpiece in. Yeah, I've always got it. I always, as a kid, thought that the woman at the end of the ad was like smizing at the camera. That's Amy. Yeah. And then I'm like, what the ad was smizing at the camera. That's Amy.

Yeah. And then I'm like, what the fuck? The free cast Amy. There's a new Amy. There is a new Amy. Well, yeah, there is. Yeah. Coming in at number two.

Okay. Schmackos. Oh, yeah. Dogs go wackos. Dogs go wackos for Schmackos. You can't just say it like that. You have to do the voice. I'm not going to sing it, Mitchell.

Dogs go wackos for Schmackos. Dogs go wackos. Dogs go wackos for Schmackos. I love it. Perfect, right? That's so funny. So I think this is when we're coming up with our jingle. We need to remember short and sweet. I agree.

Just one line or something. Yeah, I agree. It doesn't need to be long. What's number one? I'm nervous. Or honorable mentions first. Honorable mentions were good guys, but that's a full song. Come in and see the good, good, good guys.

Whatever. It's a cover of. Come in and see the good, good, good guys. Whatever. Yeah, there you go. Is it Beastie Boys? That's actually what I want to do with our jingle though. Cover of an actual song. We just insert our number into it. I reckon we could do it. Yeah.

And then the other. Okay, number one. The other honorable mention was just like another example of a very quick little jingle. Maya. Oh, Maya, my store. Bang. Effective. Gold. Wait, I've got one Maya. Oh, Maya, my store. Bang. Effective. That's gold.

Wait, I've got one more. Yeah, go on. Amber has the answer. You know Amber? That's a good one. The tile place. None of these actually include a phone number. No, they don't.

That's the problem. Because that's going to be the challenge. It's making our phone number sound catchy. Oh, fuck. I don't even remember it. That's the problem. We need to make people remember it. That's fine.

That's a later issue. What's number one on the top five jingles? Well, coming in at number one is just because it's so damn catchy and iconic. It's Banana Boat. Oh, yeah. Banana Boat. Banana Boat. Fun side protection.

Banana Boat. It's 30 plus. Banana Boat. It lasts for hours and hours and hours. Banana Boat. Banana boat, banana boat. Thank you. God, I love that. And you bet your ass when I'm going to the chemist to buy some sunscreen and I see a little tube of banana boat in my head, I'm going, banana boat.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Who the fuck is that guy singing? What an icon. I know. I wish we could find out Who the banana boat baby is today

Should we? He'd be in his 30s wouldn't he? He'd have to be Should I Google that? Banana boat baby They haven't updated their ads I wonder if banana boat Have an Instagram or a social presence

When I Google banana boat baby It just comes up with their baby sunscreen So it doesn't actually come up with Where is the baby now? That's what I want to know And their social presence sucks What do you mean? I can't seem to find anything It doesn't matter Where is the baby now? That's what I want to know. And their social presence sucks. What do you mean?

I can't seem to find anything. It doesn't matter. They've got a catchy jingle. That's all you fucking need in life. That's true. Who needs a fucking Instagram? Okay, so the stress is real. So we need to come up with a jingle for our IJM phone line.

Yes, and I think we should do what good guys did where they weave it into a pop culture song so you already know the tune. Okay. Well, what artist is's an IJM? What artist is aligned with IJM? Oh, good question. What do you think? Like Gaga or Kylie Minogue or something?

Totally. It's got to be someone queer coded. Step one for you, by the way, if you're going to help me with this, is you're going to have to write down the number so that you know it. Yeah, shit. That's a very good idea. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. Oh, calm it down.

Do you want me to say it again? One sec. Okay, go. 0-4-2-2. Yeah, shit. That's a very good idea. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. Oh, calm it down. Do you want me to say it again? One sec. Okay, go. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. 2-0-2. Yeah. So we need to weave that into a pop song. Okay.

It kind of rolls off the tongue. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. Yeah, they gave me like three numbers to choose from. And I chose that one because I thought it sounded the most catchy. Okay. I think that if we find a song that has like the word two or you in it, then that is an easy way to rhyme.

Okay, two. What's the song that has you in it? You. That's good, baby, it's you. Oh, five, two, two. Beyonce. That's very us. She's very hot at the moment. Renaissance. What's that song called? Let's go baby it's you 04822 Beyonce That's very us She's very hot at the moment

Renaissance What's that song called? I don't know Come on baby it's true 04822 048 94820 No the timing doesn't work

No It's a podcast Come on baby it's 04822 94822 I like being able to say double two yeah i agree but um do we want other lyrics in there or is it just the number because maybe like the reading writing hotline it's just the one three double oh six triple five oh six i think we want that yeah just the number yeah so maybe we just need to find out a nice rhythm that works with the number.

Songs with you. You're on the right track with that. You thought of one with you in it, but what's something that, like, what about Adele, Someone Like You? Zero four double two. Nine four eight two oh two. Is it just you? That's good. That could be it.

Hold on. Do that again. Oh, I don't know. Mitchell. Should I get the karaoke? We'll go all out. All right. Is it just you?

What about Somewhere Over the Rainbow? Does that have an ooh sound in it? Somewhere over the rainbow. What are you saying? Over the double two. Nine for eight. Two, oh, two. And then what?

Where do you go from there? Is it just you? Christmas Carol would be good. Santa baby. What? Oh, four, two,

two, nine, four, eight, two, two. I'll go to the chorus. Zero,

four, double, two, nine, four, eight, two, oh,

two. Is it just you? Call the podcast Epic! We don't need a full extended version. It's just so tempting to get carried away, isn't it? But the thing is, it's not jingle. No, it's a bit sad.

I don't mind like an emotional ballad song because you know I'm a slut for a good ballad. But that's just a little bit too slow, I think. I agree. You, what's the song with you? Or two or anything. Is it too vague to just Google songs with you in it? No, of course not.

That could be literally every song ever. Four, two, two, nine, four, eight, two, oh, two. That's Padam. That doesn't rhyme okay songs with you there's with or without you by you too no that doesn't work what about who you know who are you who who oh four two two oh four two two no but then you can't say 2-2 again because that's the wrong number. But that's a good jingle. Oh, 4. 2-2. 9-4-8.

2-2. Damn it. That'll be perfect. Oh, shit. The 9-4-8's really fucking us, Mitchell. Yeah, it really is. Anyone listening right now that could be shouting at their phone being like, I've got an idea.

I've got an idea. Please put it in the group. Please let us know. We need this jingle. And let's be real. We might create this jingle, Mitchell. And then we could, you know, just like the reading, writing hotline, it could be revised. That's true.

So it's all right. I'd rather nail it the first time. Of course. I think I should properly get Roving Reporter Oscar to record the vocals. Oh my God, that's brilliant. So we can play it every week. Well, Roving Reporter Oscar. So neither of us have to worry about remembering the number. No, of course.

And Roving Report Oscar is a genuine talented singer. Yeah. He does shows. He does gigs and shit. Yeah, very talented. Oh, that's a really good idea, Mitchell. But we need to nail which song we're going to do. Nail which song it is.

I think, oh my God. I think Adele's on the short list. I just think it's a bit too slow. It's too slow. It's too, it worries me. What about the Friends theme song? It's too slow. It's too, it worries me.

What about the Friends theme song? Oh, four double two, nine for eight, two, oh, two. Oh, four double two, nine for eight, two, oh, two. Oh, yeah. I'll be there for you. I wasn't, the Rembrandts. Yes. Oh, four two.

I think it's, you've got to drag it out more. Oh, four double two, nine for eight, two, oh, two. Oh oh four double two oh wow that's gorgeous we could be onto something with that that's a good jingle that could be the bed for the is it just you but then is it too frenzy like we're gonna sound like a fucking friends podcast that's true we don't want people to think we're a Netflix special. But also that show and that theme song are widely recognized, so it could be good. They're associated with Friends, though. It's not us.

People don't think of you when they hear that song. We'll add that to the shortlist. The idiots can vote which ones we take to the studio and actually record. Lay a sick vocal for it. Yes, lay a fat beat, as they say. Tactic jam. Oh, my God. We should do a recording session, as they say. Tic-tac-jam. Oh, my God. We should do a recording session.

Have you seen that TikTok of Nicki Minaj laying her beats? No. Oh, my God. It's so funny. We could just do that. I just don't know. We've got Adele and Friends. I don't know.

I'm looking through the bloody list of things that just have you in the title, and it's just not a lot. There's nothing there. Like, Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton-John. Too sad. That's not going to work. Too sad. Veil.

Veil. What about they've got Because of You by Kelly Clarkson? Oh, because of you. But it'd be 0-4-2-2. Are we doing 2-2? 0-4-2-2. 9-4-8-2-0-2. No, 2-0-2.

It'd need to be a zero. Yes, the second O is now a zero. Mitchell, you're onto something. Hold on, do that again. Ready? 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. He can do the key change and everything.

2-0-2. Oh, I, two. Oh, I like this. Oh, two, two. Yes. He should give us multiple examples. See, I feel like that's slow, but not too slow. Like it's a passionate ballad, but the lyrics are quick. Get on the karaoke.

Get on the karaoke. I feel really good about this. Kelly's queer adjacent. She's gay culture. This is just the karaoke. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Hold on. I'll skip forward. Let me get the number out. I've learned the hard way. Here we go. To never let her get that far. This is us. You ready? 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2

0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 That's great. Oh, this gets a bit tricky. Oh, my God, that's it. No, that is so us. That is currently my first preference.

Oh, 100%. Followed by Friends. Friends is really good. This one's more passionate. More passionate. It's more us. It's Kelly. We need to get to the studio. And I think I can just picture Oscar nailing that.

Look how Mitchell just leans back in his chair. He's so happy with himself. Well, we got there eventually. Yay! I can't believe, I mean, we'll put a thread in the Facebook group. You can vote on those three, Adele, Kelly, or the Friends theme song, or suggest songs that we've forgotten because it's surprisingly challenging to think of a song that has an ooh sound.

Can I say, we struggled a lot with that. And then when we were trying to do a Hobby Hunt opener, fucking came to us naturally. And we had three options. We just needed any song with three syllables. Hobby, Hobby, Hobby Hunt. Wow, I'm really pleased with that, Mitchell. Me too.

I think we did really well. Well, this isn't going to happen overnight. We'll take on board the feedback once again. This is not mine and Mitch's jingle. It's our jingle. Correct. It's the Idiot's Jingle. It's the jingle of the Idiot's.

We'll work on this over the next few weeks. And we'll get back to you. Also, we have the capability to record in a broadcast studio, so this will sound really good. Easily, yeah. God, I'm so excited for this. All right. Well, in the coming weeks, we will update you in the coming shows.

Let's go for the time being. Yeah. We're going to get out of here. God, that was a fun little Wednesday episodes. Are a touch more unhinged. Yeah, they definitely are. I was just belting Kelly Clarkson at the top of my fucking lungs. Great to have you all listening.

Thank you. Five star review. Apple podcast. Spotify. Write something. And like we said, if you haven't joined the Endurant Idiots Facebook group, E-N-D-U-R-A-N-T. Idiots. Endurant.

Yes. Which isn't actually a word. Yeah, no. I thought it was when I called it that. It's not. Do you want the origin story of the group? I remember. Do you?

Yeah. You tell it then. This will be good. Fuck, I shouldn't have said that. Yes, no, I do because the podcast has a special place in my part. What's it called again? Enduring Idiots. We created it because we wanted to drop the first episode early.

It was originally called Impatient Idiots. Yes. Because we'd been promoting for weeks in advance the first ever episode of Is It Just Me? Yes. Will drop on this day. And there were a lot of hungry Not My Cup of Tea fans that listened to the old podcast that were keen for the new one. And so because we'd been promoting that day and then for one reason or another station

management intervened and said we had to push back the launch there was controversy actually it was when kyle sandalands insulted virgin mary and the whole christian faith was upset with us so they just said we don't want to draw any attention to the station just lie low the entire christian faith yeah every single one of them they're like two poofs starting a podcast at this time would piss them off the last thing we need when all eyes are on this station that'd be the straw that breaks the Every single one of them. They're like, two poofs starting a podcast at this time would piss them off. It's the last thing we need when all eyes are on this station. That'd be the straw that breaks the Christian camel's back. And so we had to push it back.

And so because there were so many people keen for the launch, I made a Facebook group called Impatient Idiots, where I put a Dropbox link to the first episode on the promised release day. Because they were impatient. They couldn't wait for the show. And then we just kept the group because so many people joined and changed it to Endurant as in like, you've stuck by us. You're enduring us.

Correct. Then it turns out, I don't know. I don't think Endurant is actually a word. Which is hard because people always struggle. They always think it's an I. They go I and Endurant. Yeah. I don't know.

Like you're an injured idiot. Yeah. Imagine being like, oh, sorry. I can't walk up the stairs. I'm Endurant. I'm fucking this gorgeous twink. What's his name? Durant.

Oh, are you in Durant? Yuck. You grok. Anyway, as we were saying, we've got to get out of here. Yeah, let's go. Ta-ta, loves. We'll see you in a week. Thanks for listening.

We'll catch you back on Monday. And again, tap the notification bell so that you don't forget about our gorgeous Wednesday episode. Bell out. See you, idiots. 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 ADD Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. I've got all this energy now that we've been singing. Yeah, me too. Can we start every episode?

Not even recorded. We just privately sing karaoke to get me all revved up. Yeah, I can do that. We can do that. We do it. We've done it in the last like 10 shows. We've done karaoke like five of them. And there's been some sort of gift exchange.

Yeah, there has. In the last episode, you gave me the Squishmallow. Yeah, what was its name again? Nicaragua. Camillo Parker Bowles. Camillo. Cam exchange. Yeah, there is. In the last episode, he gave me the Squishmallow. Yeah, what was its name again? Nicaragua. Camillo Parker Bowles. Camillo. Camillo. Yeah.

Caramello Camillo. That works. My dad is in the house because I can hear him stomping above my bedroom. Could you hear him before? No, I couldn't hear a thing. Christ, he's so loud. He's got the heaviest foot.

So do you reckon he'd be willing to give me a pep talk? That doesn't work with texts. You need to call him. Oh, he's coming. Mark? Hello.

Oh, he's just walked in. He knew he's cute. We text you. What do you want? We're recording the podcast. I was just telling everyone what a lovely father you are, and then you walk in and go, what do you want? Oh, fuck, honestly, I've got so much to do, so many places to be, people to see.

What's going on here, bitches? Bitches. So Mitch has mentioned in passing a few times on the podcast that you send him inspirational quotes and bloody self-help podcasts. On Instagram you do that. You're in touch with your feelings. You're a modern man and it sounds like you pump up his tires every day. And so I just wanted to get a taste of what it would be like to be a cheery son

and see if you can give me a bit of a pep talk or something. Like what's today's little nugget of wisdom? Help Mitch out with life. Oh, that's deep. Yeah. But you're a deep man by all accounts. You are. You've got to talk right into the microphone as well.

Today's snippets of wisdom. Okay. But first of all, why do you send them to me? Do you do it just because you think? Do you see them and do you think of your son or do you see them? Because it's hard out here for a bitch, you know? It is. I suppose it's just, you know, I worry about you as a father.

I'd be worried too. You do not worry about me. Well, I think intuitively parents do. Parents are conscious of what their kids are going through. And I often, you know I'm deep, so I often think about you. And when I do, I often get inspiration. And it might simply be to let you know that I'm thinking of you, to let you know that I'm supportive of the position you might be in at that time.

Yeah, very considerate. Can you go through your chat history and just find an example? Dad texted me the other day because I was very stressed before I flew to Perth, remember? Yeah, I did. And he wanted to talk and chat and I just didn't have the time. You said, enjoy the moment, Mitchell. This is literally on Thursday. Wow.

Enjoy the moment, as stressful as it may be. Love, Dad. All will unravel, as they say. XX, Dad. All will unravel? Yeah, very honest. That's not very encouraging. I'm sorry.

You will have an unraveling. You know what, Coombsy? Can I call you Coombsy? Of course. All will unravel. Yeah, very honest. That's not very encouraging. I'm sorry. You will have an unraveling. You know what, Coombsy? Can I call you Coombsy? Of course. You famously do. Yeah, I do. You know, everything does unravel. I think one of the big learnings I have, again, getting deep, as you get older, you often

want to fix things very quickly and you often assume there's a solution straight away. Yep. Most of the time there isn't. The solution is simply going through a process. Yeah, okay. So I think perspective of that process is staged and doesn't happen immediately is something that I'm really conscious of. Yes, okay.

That's interesting because I'm quite solution-oriented. I like to just nip it in the bud, fix things quickly. Yep. And do you find that when you can't, you might potentially get frustrated or? Oh, I get fucked up the wall, seriously. I get so pissed off. He does. Yeah.

Fucking anxious, right? Yeah. Yep. And do you know what? I do too. True. And now that I've accepted the fact that everything is stages and I won't fix it straight away has allowed me to, I think, be a little bit more calmer.

Wow. I think the wisdom is, right, that we're going to be really, really self-aware of ourselves. And, you know, I'm learning, even at my age, right, to be very self-aware of my impact on others. So I want to give back, and giving back, whether it's to my son, whether it's to you, Coombsie, whether it's to my son, whether it's to you, Coombsy, who I've grown to affectionately look at with a lot of – what's the right word? It's not attraction, is it?

It's not sexual. Not sexual, no. At times it's certainly a feeling I could cuddle him. Of course. I've thought that in the more recent weeks I've disclosed that. I mean, I hugged him this morning and he didn't sort of freeze. It was quite warm. Of course I wouldn't freeze. I went in for it. I was like, come here, that. I mean, I hugged him this morning and he didn't sort of freeze. It was quite warm. Of course I wouldn't freeze.

I went in for it. I was like, come here, mate. I'm doing this. So, you know, I just. Self-awareness is key is what you're saying. It's key. Everything. And everything starts with the self, to be honest.

He still didn't think of a word to describe how he feels for me. No. What did you do? I think you're growing. I'll be honest. I think you're growing on me. And, okay, I'll go deep. Go on. Three words. feels for me. No. I think you're growing, I'll be honest, I think you're growing on me. And okay, I'll go deep. Three words, growing on me. He used to think I was a real cow. Because I didn't know you. And the reality is, I don't know you very well. What I do know is,

I know you from being Mitchell's partner in this show. And I know you from the couple of times that we've spent time together. As I get to know you and as you get to understand somebody, you either embrace it and like it or you don't. And I like it. That's good. I didn't repulse you. That's nice. Well, you know the other thing?

I find what's very attractive about you is your directness and your honesty. And I think that's very authentic. And I actually find that very endearing. Really? Because some people, you would say, Mitch, some people don't like that, right? Oh, yeah. Some people think I'm a bit too blunt, bordering on rude, but that's okay.

Yeah, but you know what? Fuck, let's take it with a grain of salt. Like you actually don't mean anything personally. It's just your nature. No. I don't go around lashing out at people, but I don't waste my words. But I bet you've got a nice circle of friends who like it. Yeah, of course you do.

But it's also then we used to clash because I'm a bit the opposite. We're very opposite in that regard. Yeah, and that's probably why you complement each other. Oh. No, it is. The only other thing, depths of conversation, I think the reality is whether it's personal or professional, the best partner is the one that brings the best out in you.

And often the person that brings the best out in you is the one who's opposite to you. And you both compliment each other. And I feel that's the magic you boys have. I'm going through my DMs with dad because he loves an Insta reel. Yes. He sent me one that says 10 signs of a high vibration person. High vibration person. You love these dads. You may want to save this video.

Actually, I want to hear Mark's explanation. What's a high vibration person? Oh yeah. What I remember briefly from that high vibration person is someone who's authentic or someone who, um, I think has similar values to you. I think someone who is compassionate. I think a high vibration person is someone who's kind. What's a high vibration person is someone who's kind. What's a low vibration person? A fuckhead? Not fucking compassionate. Not fucking kind.

Dickheads who pretend to be something they're not. Yeah, that's what I like about you. In fact, what you see is what you get. You're authentic. He doesn't try to, he doesn't put on anything. And I know that's why he likes working with you because ultimately, you know, people, Mitchell's very trusting and so am I. So when you trust, you want to be around people that you actually do what they say and are

what they are. Yeah. And so trusting people usually are around authentic people. Yeah. Oh, well said. It's so insightful. You're very good when it comes to advice. But someone who feels like he doesn't know me that well, I'm like,

oh, hit the nail on the head. Well, put it this way. I honestly say this. Would I want to spend 24 hours on a plane with you? Fuck yeah. Oh, we'd get lit. Would I want to get on the piss with you? Yeah.

Did you have an is it just me of your own? Have you listened to the show when we both have an is it just me? Is it just me or? Or better yet, maybe because you're, for all intents and purposes, you're a guest right now. I'll ask you the same question I ask every guest. You can't ask. No, don't.

Why not? Well, because he's not a guest. It's not appropriate. I think he's the perfect person to add to our list of things better than drugs and dick. Ooh. Yeah, we ask every guest to contribute something. It's like a little pleasure in life, you know,

like a cool breeze running through your hair or something like that. Something that's not a vice. A mindful moment, if you like. It's not sex or it's not drugs. We've asked all our guests. Oh, fuck. What comes to mind, and don't judge me, but I love having a 45-minute Turkish steam and then I love

diving into the cold pool, shocking your body. Well, Mitchell, it's your ice bath. Yes, I did that last week on the podcast. Did you? I mean, I felt good afterwards, but that dive is just too much to bear, honestly. It's hard work. It's not easy. So what do you like?

You like a steam? Love a steam. What's a Turkish steam? Yeah. Oh, it's great. Just a Turkish steam. You know, it's not easy. So what do you like? You like a steam? Love a steam. What's a Turkish steam? Yeah. Oh, it's great. Just a Turkish steam. You know, it's all the... But what makes it Turkish? Did I ever tell you about the Turkish steam I did in Turkey? I need to know what a Turkish steam is. What does it actually involve? It's basically a steam room instead of a sauna.

Oh, okay. Interesting. So they pump hot steam. They pump hot steam. So we like being in the tropics, you know, when it's 90 degrees humidity but it's really good. You sweat like a pig. Your body temperature goes up. It's really cool.

And then you dive into something really cold. I love that. If you said to me what makes you feel good about yourself, I'd say that's a moment when I go, wow, I'm fucking jumping out of my skin. Wow. So you go boiling hot on purpose and then freezing cold on purpose. Yeah. If you do it, as soon as you come out of the steam room and dive in the cold water, your

body goes into shock. Adrenaline goes through your body because it's fight or flight. And you just feel charged. Instead of having a hit of, say, having a hit of cocaine or having 10 shots of alcohol, it's fundamentally nearly the same feeling because it's just dopamine running through your body. Interesting. And so it's a nearly the same feeling because it's just dopamine running through your body. Interesting. And so it's a natural high.

Yeah, but having 12 shots or whatever, that doesn't involve being freezing cold for a period of time. No, but you don't come across to me as a bit of a pussy. No, I'm not. I'll give it a go. But also, it's just so easy for me to go, I can't be bothered doing this plunge. No, it's too cold. Yeah. Do you think you and I have a lot in common?

Too much? You think? No. But I do think we have a lot in common, yeah. No, yes. No, I can tell. I'm being funny. Do you get where Mitchell gets his humour from, Kimsey?

Oh, well, I was talking to Mark about psychoanalysing you both on the night of your birthday. And we established that you're both the same in that you're a bit of a class clown, you know, you're extroverted, but then you also really need that fucking cocoon time at home to recharge. Yeah. Yeah. I often need time to just, last night I came home and I got back

from Perth at fucking 10 o'clock at night and you had friends and family over and I just couldn't speak. Yeah. I just did not want to talk. And they're like, you've just come back from doing comedy, make us laugh. And I just couldn't even speak. But, you know did not want to talk. And they're like, you've just come back from doing comedy. Make us laugh. And I just couldn't even speak. But, you know, most days I'm like that at night because all my day,

I don't do what you guys do, but my day is talking to people all day on the phone. Yeah. So you get home and the last thing, and I'm on the phone for an hour and a half driving home. Yeah. Last thing you want to do is talk. Yeah, like that.

But you know, I'm lucky. Michelle's the same. So hold you aside for a sec, Mitch. So we get home, Michelle and I, we both just veg, right? Yeah. And we're happy to do that. There's know, I'm lucky. Michelle's the same. So hold you aside for a sec, Mitch. So we get home, Michelle and I, we both just veg, right? Yeah. And we're happy to do that. There's no stress. Of course.

And then we wake up in the morning and we switch on. Yeah. I will share a moment with you. Go on. When you came home last night and you were completely droned out, which is cool. We get it. Exhausted.

You went for a walk, a run. Went for a run, yeah. And I was really inspired by that. And I actually told Tom, your trainer, this morning. Oh, yeah. We have the same personal trainer. You went for a run at like 10 p.m. or something. I did, yeah.

What the fuck? I know. I know. It's fucking crazy. I was exhausted and I needed the endorphins. Right. Coombs, you've got a deep question for you. Oh, fuck.

Here we go. You didn't finish the story. Do you want me to finish the story? I just want the praise from my trainer. What did he say? He was blown away. But I told him, I said, what inspired me about that was that Mitchell now recognises that he has a mechanism to help him deal with stress.

Yes. And if we have a mechanism to deal with stress, we're going to have a pretty damn good life. Yes. Yeah, the run did, yeah, it was good. The endorphins were great. Go with me. You haven't done that.

When was the last time time put aside since your health rejuvenation did you do that before no god no no unless there was a fucking you know new McDonald's menu item

I don't run there is it fair to say that that's going to be your way of operating for a long time now yeah of course I've learnt that

it's good cool isn't it big change now were you about to psychoanalyse Mitchell yeah you had a deep question for me which worries me

he's forgotten it. Dad, you know, I do think you have ADHD undiagnosed. Yeah, I have a little bit. Yeah. Coombsy, it came back to me. Yeah. What is your stress relief? I don't know.

I do like my Pilates and my barre classes. They're good for things like that. I don't know. I probably need to learn from you guys and find a good one. Work on that. So basically, probably what I'm hearing is you have a couple, you just haven't really thought deeply about, well, what is my go-to stress relief when I've got a lot of stress happening?

What's my primary? I mean, there's primary and secondary with everything. Yeah. Right? In the past, they've been the non-helpful ones, like your vapes and your alcohol. Yeah. So I In the past, they've been the non-helpful ones, like your vapes and your alcohol. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

So I need to find a new one. Well, for me, I must admit, I'll have a smoke if I'm feeling stressed. I'll pull out a cigarette first. I won't exercise first. Yeah. I'll have a smoke first because it's easy. Yeah. I try to get them to stop it.

I don't talk too many smokes. Really? Yeah, it's my way of saying, if you want to see your grandchildren, you should smoke. I think now you get the perspective, right? Parents are hard on their kids and you're hard on me, for example. So it's really, yeah, it's a yin-yang thing, isn't it? It's interesting. It is.

You could really investigate that one, couldn't you? We could. We don't have the time. Thank you, Mark Ferturi, for your appearance on the show today. We should actually get your father because we've got this one insightful line that we say at the end of every episode. And so because you're here and you're the queen of being insightful, you should probably, can you just read that out?

Yeah, you can say it. We hope this podcast makes you feel at least 1.5% better today. That's all. Just 1.5% better. So we do. I love it. That was great. It felt very churchy.

We do two episodes a week, so that's 3% better. All we want is a 3% increase. I want to add something to that, can I? Okay, sure. I really love it. A bit brave, but go on. I know, it is brave. It is.

It's a catchphrase. You know what? I just had an intuition, and it is when feeling stressed, look inside yourself first. Oh. I know, it's deep. What does that mean? It's deep. I don't know what that means. Well, it just means look inside. Look at yourself first. Oh. I know, it's deep. What does that mean? It's deep.

I don't know what that means. Well, it just means look inside, look at yourself first. Whenever there's a moment, this is what I'm learning, you've got to look at yourself first because the first thing we often do is blame our external environment. Right. Or we blame someone. The buses are late, the trains are late, that fucker drove in front of me,

my wife's a bitch, my boyfriend fucked around on me. It could be a hundred different things that we blame. And what I'm going to say is you have to ask yourself, what is my contribution to this situation I'm in? Now that's deep, but you have to ask that. Yeah, right. Because it takes two people to fucking dance. No, of course it does.

Yeah, of course. And if you do that, guess what? Your energy goes on you first, not the blame on the other person. If you solve yourself, you'll actually see the other person much clearer. Wow. On that note. Great note to end on. On that note, fuck.

Wow, this is a deep podcast. Next time I'm sick, can you just get your father on the show for the whole episode? Yeah, your dad would be a great fill-in host. Yeah. Thank you, Dad. It was great. Look, you've been on the pod now. You're excited.

Yeah, thanks, guys. Thanks, Kershaw. When this fucking drops, you'll have to send it to him and he'll have to listen to the link and he won't know how to hear it. So you've got this life advice on tap all day, every day. Yeah. Yeah, but it becomes, you get sort of immune to it. You get sick of it. I don't think I would.

You would most definitely. I'd be like, I needed to hear that. No. Next time he ignores you, your life advice, send it to me instead. I will. Great. I will. Listen, you need to, once you wrap the podcast, you need to wrap.
