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.
Can you post videos to YouTube?
What sort of a question is that?
Can I send letters at the post office?
Now here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Oh, we're back in the studio, home base.
Thank God.
It was beginning to become like we were the podcast of the Willy Wonka family,
just like doing it from beds every fucking week.
I know, it felt like that.
I don't mind doing it from home occasionally,
but it started to get a bit ridiculous.
It got too much.
When we ordered in $50 worth of cookies and then ate them on the show, I'm like, this
podcast is going downhill fast.
I can't believe they were that expensive.
And I paid for them.
I need to get the receipt to the business and get that refunded.
Reimbursed.
Reimbursed.
Okay, sure.
No, I don't mind.
It was delicious.
We can deal with the ad being off the cloud, I would have thought.
No, no, it's right.
How are you?
You good?
Yeah, good.
I'll tell you why, mate.
You're Jim, actually.
Oh, really?
I've got a very specific reason that there's a spring in my step.
Oh.
Is there a ring on your finger?
No.
I'm not engaged.
No.
God, first breakup rumours, now you're going to start engagement rumours, are you?
Well, I've had a shit of a year, love-wise, so you can, you know, you've got to bring it home.
Well, you can talk to Sean about that.
Actually, I don't know why I assume he'd be the one to propose.
No, it's too soon.
Why do I assume that?
It's too soon.
No, no, no, I don't want him to, but I'm like,
why is it that I expect him to be the one to do it and I wouldn't do it?
Well, he who put it in, he who put it on.
That's the old saying.
Pricekeeper Janice here, she's shaking her head.
She completely agrees with that.
Yes, I agree.
Yes, Sean will be the one.
That's a biblical quote.
That's one of the three wise men
said that. He said it to Mary. Maybe I
should just take everyone by surprise and I'll do it.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't do that. If I was you, I wouldn't.
I'd be mad if you proposed to me.
If we were together, it would just piss me off.
Why? Because I wouldn't want to do it.
But I wear the pants in every other sense.
I don't know. There's something weird
about it. About me doing it?
No, in the context of you and Sean and then me.
The fuck was that?
What was that?
Sean?
Oh, my God.
He just said the subject is will you marry me?
This would only happen in the studio.
Wow.
How the fuck did that come from?
That's actually your job to figure that out.
Where did that come from?
Let me work it out.
I don't know. Hold on. Sorry. me work it out. I don't know.
Hold on.
Sorry.
Whoops, wrong one.
I don't know.
Don't worry.
I'm not used to this shit.
It's the web fate.
I turned it off.
Hold on.
There we go.
Fixed it.
Oh, good.
The sound effect.
They're back.
Everyone misses the sound effects.
That's one of the things I like about being at home.
Oh, shut up.
Sound effects.
It's been a while since we've had the sound effects.
But they're here. Fuck, I'm exhausted. Apologies to everyone who's like, shut up. There's been a while since we've had the sound effects. But they're here.
Fuck, I'm exhausted.
Apologies to everyone who's like, Mitch sounds like he's...
You seem a bit manic.
No.
You seem to, like, relax a bit.
All right.
You want me to sing?
No.
Oh, I'd love you to, actually.
Please do.
Five, four, three, two...
Hold on.
Not this.
That's the only part you memorise
No, I know it
Here we go
I'm surprised you all have been rehearsing
Get ready to be blown away
When I walk away
Already wrong
If I could escape
Now while Mitch loses his shit over there,
this feels like a good time as any to let you know
that we're taking a week off next week
because his fucking demanding schedule in his fucked-tober,
as we're calling it, is taking a toll.
So just a week off.
That's all we need.
I'm not well.
You're not well.
I can tell.
I'm not well.
I've got nothing left to give, so I'm giving nothing.
So where are you going to be next week?
Fucking hell.
Or this week, as the episode is.
You're going to be in fucking Brisbane Gold Coast.
I've just been in Melbourne, and then this week I'm driving to Canberra on a tour bus.
What?
On a bus.
What?
I was talking to the-
They got you a fucking coach.
Yes.
So I'm on tour.
Murray's.
I'm on tour.
I'm on a greyhound.
And it's organised by Live Nation.
And the tour manager, Jamie, who's a lovely guy, was like,
all right, everyone, don't forget, 5am start to get on the bus.
And I said, to where?
Fuck that.
To Canberra from Sydney.
And I said, why aren't we flying?
And he went, I crunched the numbers and it's the same amount of time
on a bus, door to door, than getting on a plane.
But the beauty of flying there is that you're not on a bus.
Yes, that's exactly it.
A fucking bus.
And there's no toilet on the bus.
Isn't there?
Why was that exactly where my head went as well?
I asked the question.
Can you piss on the bus?
That's what I said.
I want to shit on the bus.
I said, is there a toilet on the bus?
He said, no, there's no.
We'll have to do pit stops.
So Canberra, I would have just done'll have to do pit stops so Canberra
I would have just done Melbourne at the Palais
and then Canberra
and then Brisbane
and then Gold Coast
all in one week
so yeah there literally wasn't
a spare moment
where we'd be able to get in the same room together next week
and I thought I could get a fill in
but I could do with a fucking week off too
so just one week
that's all
that's all
that's all we're doing
you know just 3% better
we'll see you next week sorry it's not the That's all. That's all we're doing. You know, just 3% better. We'll see you next week.
Sorry, it's not the end of the show.
No, no.
So we do.
So we do.
We're just getting started.
I was ready to wrap up.
It's been so much fun that we sold out the State Theatre.
That's amazing.
The oldest theatre in Sydney.
And I blamed a poo on Rebel Wilson.
What do you mean?
Well, the theatre, it's so old that it hasn't been renovated
so the toilet system isn't good.
But it's still at State Theatre?
Yeah, State Theatre.
I like their toots, I've never noticed.
Have you been backstage?
In the green rooms, it's an old, old,
old, old green room made of wood panel.
Oh, actually I have been in there.
It's tiny, it's small, old
and the toilet is in the dressing room. It's just in a door. Anyway, I did the have been in there. Yeah, I'm with you. It's tiny. It's small, old. And the toilet is in the dressing room.
In the dressing room.
It's just in a door.
Anyway, I did the world's biggest poo.
Horrific.
I could have been eaten.
Nothing but Guzman y GĂłmez.
So I do a poo and then I come out and then Rebel Wilson's just arrived.
So Rebel Wilson goes into her other dressing room and then everyone goes, what the fuck?
There's a possum in the air.
Something has died.
What the fuck was Rebel Wilson doing there?
She was the guest.
We interviewed her.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, so she comes in and she goes into her dressing room
and everyone goes, what's that smell?
I go, guys, don't make a big scene, but Rebel just pooed.
Because I knew they wouldn't question it
because she's an A-list celebrity from Bridesmaids.
And no one's going to give her shit about the shit.
Absolutely.
Yeah, right.
But it was actually me.
So now everyone's like, Rebel was great,
but can you believe she did that massive turd?
Could people actually smell anything?
Or did you just throw her under the bus as a preemptive strike?
No.
No, it was tactical.
Because there's no ventilation in the State Theatre.
It's old.
Old theatre.
No windows.
It's under concrete in the middle of Sydney.
Anyway, so.
I've never understood the embarrassment about shitting
and, like, everyone knowing.
Especially in this workplace.
It was such a big thing.
If someone went into the bathroom and smelled a turd, it'd be the talking point of the office.
Like, oh, someone did a shit.
Who do you think it was?
And I'm just like, everyone shits.
Who gives a fuck?
That's true.
On my team, there's one person from sales or something.
We call her the poo lady.
Why?
Because whenever we go in there, she's pooing.
Jenna, that's awful.
I didn't come up with it.
But you definitely throw it.
You ridicule her.
I don't ridicule her.
Poor Nettie.
It's not Nettie.
I love Nettie.
It's mad.
Everyone shits.
Yeah, we all shit.
I don't get it.
But it depends on the group you're with.
You're right.
The Kiss FM team, they'll ridicule a turd.
But you, me and Jenna, I wouldn't.
Like, if you guys went to do a poo, I wouldn't care.
Who cares?
Even if it smelled, I wouldn't make a big deal.
Totally.
No, I wouldn't care.
I'm used to dealing with cat shit.
Like, nothing would smell worse than that.
That's true.
Also, we do god-awful things in that part of the world, you know?
That's the least of our worries.
We truly do, I'm just saying.
God-awful things, Is that what they describe it?
No, they're blissful and very enjoyable.
But it's just, it is in that area of the world, you know.
No, you're right.
Everyone knows that.
Well, listen.
Hi.
It will be a big show.
Hi.
Hi.
And I'm exhausted.
It's your first time listening.
We start every show with an is it just me.
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
I don't know Mitch's.
And yours has put you in a good mood, did you say? Yes, definitely.
Interesting. All right. Well, we could start with yours because mine's merely an observation
and I need both of your phones for it. And it might piss you off. It might expose you.
So maybe we get your good news out first. Yeah, I can do that. Are you convinced? What
do you need my bloody phone for? I feel defensive. I don't have to touch it. I don't have anything
to hide. No, no, no. I'll just direct you and you can
play with it. Yeah.
Also, we should say on the show today,
we have an update.
No, I think you'll find that's on Wednesday. Oh.
And there's a whole section of the show dedicated to
forward announcing the Wednesday episode. Yeah, you're right.
You're still getting used to the structure. It's a new structure of the
show. It takes time. It does take
time. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Alright.
Should I do my agent? No, Mitch is going first. Wow. Wow. Not well. It's totally up to you. Why don't you make the
call? Jenna, why don't you decide? Let's go with, let's give you a break. Let's go with Coombs.
Yeah. All right. Here we go. Is it just me or? Just one hour of sleep.
Not sound like much, but makes a fucking difference.
Oh, 100%.
The difference between seven hours and eight hours, you can feel it.
Oh, 100%.
Oh, yeah.
So, you know how Sean calls me every morning on the way to work?
Mm-hmm.
So, when we first got together in his old job, he had a 9am start.
Yeah.
So, I'd set the alarm for 8am and then he'd ring me by 8.30 when he was on the road.
Then he got the new job this year, as you know.
Yes, good on him.
And it starts an hour earlier.
Oh.
So he's starting at 8.
Yeah, starts at 8, which means me setting the alarm for 7, him calling around 7.30 or so.
And I didn't want to be an asshole because we've already got this tradition
of he calls me every day on the way to work.
I didn't want to be like, well, you're starting an hour early now, are you?
That's a you problem.
I'm not fucking joining you on that.
I'm not altering my routine.
I thought that would be a dog act.
So out of solidarity, I went, righto, righto, I'll change my routine as well.
Oh, it's killing me.
Oh, no.
And you haven't told him yet?
I don't think I need to tell him because it's quite obvious that my energy level is so much lower with the one hour earlier because I'm barely out of bed.
I'm like, oh.
I have no sympathy for you.
Oh, I know.
Well, that's why I thought I'll cope with getting up an hour earlier, like 7am.
You've done it before.
Yes.
I've got up at bloody 3.30 every morning for four years.
Yeah, but you weren't indebted to someone else.
You didn't have a lover.
You just had to worry about yourself.
What's that got to do with anything?
It's still getting up early as fuck.
And I thought if I can cope with that, I can get up at 7.
I know, but you were doing that for yourself.
Now you're doing it for someone else, which is very different.
Yeah, but it does help me. That's why we started doing the phone someone else, which is very different. Yeah, but it does help me.
That's why we started doing the phone calls,
because if I've had a conversation, it kind of wakes me up a bit.
God, I hate to be so rude, but what the fuck are you talking about?
What do you have to update him on?
Oh, the crispics are in the bowl.
The milk is now in.
No, I'm just saying, what is there to talk about?
Your day hasn't started.
There's no rhyme or reason.
It's usually talking about anything and everything from the day before or whenever.
That makes me jealous.
We don't get sucked into conversation.
Sounds beautiful.
And he's driving.
He's on Bluetooth in his car, is he?
Yes, exactly.
And I found it helpful at the start when it was an hour later when he called me around 8.30
because sometimes I could go like all day and then talk to someone and go,
oh, God,
this is the first time I've spoken all day.
So it just kind of got me alert first thing in the morning.
But, fuck, the hour earlier I was just dead to the world
and I'd go back to sleep after I got off the phone.
I don't know what it was.
I just could not adapt to this routine.
But today, as of today, they've pushed his start time back by an hour.
Oh, yay!
So I got an extra hour of sleep.
It's changed everything.
I feel amazing.
That's where the elation's coming from.
Yes, it made a huge difference because by the time he called at 8.30,
I was already up and about.
I had a coffee in me already.
It's so much better this way.
Wait, so you knew the night before. So you got to plan ahead and get better this way. Wait, so you knew the night before.
So you got to plan ahead and get the sleep in.
Huh?
Like you knew the night before.
Yeah, changed my alarm, changed the bloody Alexa routine
so it wouldn't wake me up.
Wow.
It's been blissful.
I can imagine.
So what do you do?
You wake up, you get your errands done,
and then you can chat while you're doing stuff too.
I don't really have errands.
First thing is I wake up just like a normal person.
You know how you wake up and do skincare and make a coffee, whatever?
Yeah, have a shit.
Yeah, no.
It's not anything groundbreaking, my morning routine.
So you've noticed the extra hour sleep, you can feel it in your body.
Well, as of today, oh, it was just so much better.
I was way more switched on in the conversation.
Like having to switch on at 7.30 when I've just woken up, not easy.
It's hard.
Not fucking easy.
Yeah, it's very hard.
You know what I've noticed?
Even if I get eight hours but I fall asleep after midnight,
I'm still tired.
Like my brain sometimes knows.
Like if I go to bed at 10, 10.30 and get eight hours sleep
and wake up at 7.30, I just feel better.
But if I get the same amount of time but it's pushed back,
it's somehow like Once you pass midnight
Or you get to 1am
I completely agree
Your body's like
You still fucked me over
By going to bed late
Yeah that's true
It's like a hangover thing
It's so true
Sleep is so important
Well now that my alarm
Is set for 8
To get 8 hours sleep
I can go to bed at midnight
Oh my god
But I'm hoping that
I am just hardwired
Not to do that
So that I get even more sleep
Don't do it Because you'll get that hangover.
Your body knows.
The brain knows you fucked me over.
You went to bed late.
Don't do it.
Like those nights when I just can't stop watching a particular Netflix show.
I'm just like one more episode, one more episode.
And then it's 1.30.
And then life before Sean, BS.
Yeah, of course.
I could just adapt when I woke up.
I'm like, okay, well, I went to bed at 1.30.
I'll wake up at fucking 10.30.
Still felt gross.
Yeah.
Oh, God, I love that.
I get up at 8.30 every morning regardless.
My alarm is set for 8.30 and I always do one snooze.
Oh, so we've got the same routine now?
Oh, my God, isn't that weird?
Isn't it weird that we get up at the same time?
Yeah, but I don't know because this morning I woke up earlier than the alarm.
I think maybe I'm used to the early wake up now.
Yeah.
Oh, your body's set.
Even on weekends, I haven't slept in an ages.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't think, actually, I lie.
Jenna and I were at the radio awards on the weekend, last weekend, and I got home at three,
went to bed at four, and I woke up at 1pm.
Oh, wow.
Holy fuck.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's going to stuff you around a bit though.
I don't think I've caught up since. Plus the
tour. My sleeping
schedule is fucked. Then I woke up at
1. I'm like, what time is it? Probably 10.
1. Wow. Yeah, I heard
different birds.
That's how I knew. This ain't my 8.30
I had a cockatiel. Oh yeah,
I did. That's a magpie. Do you have like
a routine before bed? Like a night timeiel. Oh, yeah, I did. That's a magpie. Do you have like a routine before bed, like a nighttime ritual?
Yes, every night.
What is it?
Okay, so I do the radio show every night.
I come home.
I get home by about like 10, 10.30.
You can skip all this and just go to the before bed bit.
And I drive my car.
I put E10 in it.
Anyway, I have a shower.
E10, scab.
I'm not paying for the premium.
I have a shower.
Cleanse.
Skincare.
Bed.
That's a real succinct version.
Oh, okay.
And I have a hair croissant, one of those hair braid things you put on your –
it's like a headband and then it keeps your hair out of your face
when you do your skincare.
Oh, I have one of those, but mine has like cat ears.
Oh, mine looks like a croissant.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's really funny.
Your hair has always been a ponytail.
Why would you need one? Because some of the strands get on my face and I want to – Oh, really? Yeah, it's really funny. Your hair is always in a ponytail. Why would you need one?
Because some of the strands get on my face and I want it all clear. Just like strings?
Yeah, yeah.
Baby hairs.
Gotcha.
I've started putting on eyebrow growth serum and it's working.
Oh, really?
What the fuck?
You've just got 40 different serums in your day.
I couldn't be bothered.
I do so many.
Talk about succinct.
I need a succinct skincare routine.
I can't be fucked doing all those different bloody wiggles and whatever.
You know my newest hack is I get my Dyson and turn it on cold
and then blow it like my blow dryer and then I blow it on my face
so the serum's set quicker.
Because I don't have the time.
I'm going to do that.
That's a great hack.
It's really good.
It's actually really smart.
It's so good.
That's really clever.
And then I just stare at it and in three seconds it's set.
I go, great, retinol.
That's clever.
Time for the retinol. I don't even know what retinol is. I hear you just stare at it and in three seconds it's set. I go, great, retinol. That's clever. Time for the retinol.
I don't even know what retinol is.
I hear you mention it all the time.
Oh, it's anti-aging.
Oh, okay.
The way I said that word meant I had more, there was a comma.
It's anti-aging.
It's anti-aging.
It's like anti-aging.
Go on, I insist.
Spit it out.
Yeah.
No, it's got really good benefits.
You just sound American. They've got a question mark it out. Yeah. Nah, it's got really good benefits. You just sound American.
They've got a question mark on you.
They do.
Yeah.
That's actually funny.
Let's just start putting commas next to everything.
Anyway, my bedtime routine, you know what I do?
I don't peep the phone in the room.
I think I've said that a million times.
That blows me away.
Yeah, me too.
That's incredible.
And then I also have a little essential oil diffuser,
pop a bit of lavender in there or something.
Yeah, gorgeous.
I got one of them.
And then I've got my Alexa set to just start playing sleep frequency
music around 11.
Wow.
So by the time I go to bed, there's already like gorgeous sleep music
playing.
Pop an eye mask on.
Wow.
Out like a light.
I fucking love an eye mask.
Forces you to keep your eyes closed.
I've got a heated eye mask that you charge.
Heated?
It warms up.
Yeah, it's probably cooking the front lobe of my brain.
Why would you want hot eyes?
I've never thought, gee, my eyes are freezing.
No, it does.
Because your eyes don't really have nerves, but it's kind of like the socket.
It kind of just heats your head up.
It's very lovely.
But it made me break out in my eyebrow area, so I don't head up. It's very lovely. But it made me break out in my eyebrow area, so
I don't like it. It's
really lovely. I went from a recommendation to
a complete total do not buy.
Fuck, my bedroom is the
only room that isn't air conditioned. I don't
need to be heating my face up anymore than
it already is. I get the hot blushes. Fuck,
that's what I'm worried about. Now that summer's
kicking in and I'm at mum and dad's, there's no
air con. What do you mean there's no air con? They don't have air conditioning. What?
Their house is, they're just raw dogging it. It's essentially a cave
with a door on it. That kind of blows my mind. It just feels like it's always
been cool there. No. Wow, okay. Yeah. Anyway.
Alright, well I'm glad you get your one hour extra sleep. Oh, it's
perfect. You deserve it.
It's perfect.
He was hungover as fuck this morning, mind you.
I was gloating about, God, I feel so much better with this routine,
and he's like, shut up.
Oh, the roles are preferred.
Pretty much.
He literally has.
And that's all that matters.
And we're benefiting from a bright and sprightly Mitchell Cook.
Exactly.
What about Jenna's nighttime routine?
There could be something to learn from that.
She's going to bed early as fuck.
That's very true, Jenna.
So you get the boulder and you roll it out of the cave.
Yep, yep.
So I roll it out.
I go in.
I put my meditation on.
In, yep.
And then I roll the boulder back in and I fall asleep with Connie on my legs.
On your legs?
Yep.
But then you're kind of stuck there.
You can't move.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck that.
So you lie there with a fear to move, otherwise your cat will freak.
Well, no, she won't freak.
She'll think I'm playing with her, so she'll start nibbling.
So I don't move.
I couldn't handle having Connie as a cat.
I love my cat.
She's so skittish.
When I walked into the house, when we went over the other day,
she looked at me like a Halloween ornament.
She reared up on her four legs.
I think she's got a fifth there, to be honest.
She seems a bit temperamental.
So temperamental.
Then she jumped on the Kitchen Island bench and went everywhere.
Yeah, because you were like, hello?
That's true.
You do come in a bit hot.
Isabella hates that too.
You clapped in your hands.
I didn't clap my hands.
I didn't.
Actually, I did.
It was very obnoxious.
You said, hello, Connie.
You've got to approach them with like hushed tones.
Like, hello, sweetie.
Hi.
Is it all right if I pat you?
You see how Connie reacted to Mitchell was very different to you.
Totally.
I've got dog energy.
Dogs love me.
It's true, actually.
You've got dog energy.
Yeah.
Like if you had a tail, it'd be wagging.
It'd be going between your legs like, oh, I'm sorry.
Totally.
If I could lick my cock, I'd be doing that.
Well, you piss in sinks, so.
Yeah, true, true.
Where do you draw the line?
Do you cock your leg when you do that as well?
No, don't be silly.
I'm not an animal.
I just feel like there's so much to unpack there, by the way.
We really brushed that under the carpet.
Mitch mentioned last week that sometimes he just pisses in the sink.
That's disgusting.
I've done it at work.
Oh.
Why?
No, are you serious?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's the natural hide.
It's the same hide as everything.
Yeah, but you're washing your hands there.
I don't wash my hands.
Or brushing your teeth.
God.
I'm brushing my teeth at work.
You are a dog.
Oh, my God. Brushing your teeth. God. Brushing my teeth at work. You are a dog. Oh, my God.
Is it just me?
You can follow the show online.
Just search Couple of Mitches.
If you don't, you're a dickhead.
Coming up in our Wednesday episode, episode 168,
the return of Talkback Tings.
It's back.
Everyone's favourite segment.
Last time we did a poll, although that was three years ago, so things could have changed. A long-awaited return of Talkback Tings. It's back. Everyone's favourite segment. Last time we did a poll, although that was three years ago,
so things could have changed.
A long-awaited return of Talkback Tings.
I will say that I've discovered the most wholesome Talkback radio show ever.
Oh, because you love listening to Talkback.
No, not really.
It's been a while.
That's why we haven't had Talkback Tings,
because I just haven't been listening.
Well, that's true.
But you, I think, would be one of the youngest Talkback listeners in Australia.
Yeah, that's the whole idea.
You hear some cooked shit on there.
Yeah.
Most people our age don't listen to Talkback Radio, but don't worry.
Anything good, we'll bring it to you here.
I often wonder if there's another podcast that listens to FM radio
and then laughs at things they say and if anyone's ever ridiculed me.
Because I've said some dumb shit.
Like what?
Oh, plenty.
Just, I mean, it's the same as this podcast.
You just say things sometimes.
Anyway, Talk Back Tings back next week.
Yes, not next week.
It'll be on Wednesday.
Wednesday.
Fuck, you are not the full quid today at all, are you?
Absolutely not.
We're having a break next week.
We are.
Because of you.
Right, Liz.
Not because of me.
It's not.
Speaking of because of you.
Oh, good segue.
Also coming up in episode 168, we've got the jingles to show you. Oh, good segue. Also coming up in episode 168,
we've got the jingles to show you.
Yes. We've been talking about the
brand new text line for the
podcast. We want everyone to be able to memorise it.
The best way to do that is a catchy jingle.
So I'm going to be playing those to you two.
You've not heard them yet. No, we haven't heard them.
I actually posted them on my Instagram last
night, but I blocked you both so you wouldn't see them.
Oh, is that true?
You will be hearing them for the first time on the podcast.
You blocked us?
Yeah.
Just from viewing my story.
That makes me sad.
Why?
We're going to judge it.
Well, because I feel like we're dumb.
I feel like the wool's been pulled over my eyes, which it has.
But then I didn't want you to have to come in here and, like,
react a second time.
True, true. We don't want to be fake.
I want your genuine reaction.
True.
Okay. I will say that Oscar and I fucking nailed it. True, true. We don't want to be fake. I want your genuine reaction. True. Okay.
I will say that Oscar and I fucking nailed it.
He did the vocals.
Yes.
And they're beautiful.
It's going to be hard to choose between the top two jingles that we've landed on.
Roving reporter Oscar moonlights as a singer and he has recorded them for us.
Correct.
Wow.
Amazing.
All right, that's Wednesday's episode.
They're fucking gorgeous.
In the meantime, shall I do my idiom?
Yeah, go on.
Let's get into this.
Let's go.
Is it just me or?
Can one's YouTube homepage tell you everything you need to know
about that person?
Oh.
YouTube.
It's very interesting.
I think, hear me out, it is more, it tells more about someone's
inner psyche than a TikTok algorithm.
TikTok algorithm, you know, it can be,
it's a bit sort of mishmatched all over the place.
YouTube, you're going to search for things.
TikTok, you just kind of laugh and like, so it goes,
I think they like this.
But you go to YouTube to watch things, to search things.
You're looking for that content.
It doesn't find you.
You find it.
So I was on a date recently. It doesn't find you. You find it.
So I was on a date recently.
It's someone that I've been seeing.
The same person I've been talking about.
And they got their phone out to show me a video.
And on their homepage was Lana Del Rey live, Lady Gaga in Vegas,
best of Wendy Williams.
And I'm like, those three videos being suggested tells me everything I need to know about this fucking person.
Yeah, that's very true.
And then they go, oh, yeah, I watch these all the time.
And I go, that is so true.
So, Mitchell, Jenna, I'll pull mine out, but let's pull up your.
Yeah, go on.
You show us yours first.
So I'm not going to refresh.
I'm going to open up my YouTube.
Oh, the first one is Un, which is Trixie and Katya, which is very gay.
Do you know theirs too, Mitch?
No, I hear the names all the time, but I'm not actually familiar.
They're kind of like us, but drag queens.
Right, okay.
Yeah, in a weird way.
That's very on brand.
Next one is, oh, Troye Sivan on hooking up with straight men.
Interesting.
That's just a suggested video.
You've been watching Troye Sivan interviews in the past.
Totally, and I definitely would.
Oh, Conan O'Brien, his podcast.
It's my favourite podcast.
I listen to Conan O'Brien. This is my favourite podcast. I listen to Conan O'Brien.
This is my favourite podcast.
I would agree.
Joan Rivers, best pick up lines.
That's very you.
Very me.
I love Joan Rivers.
You keep going.
Oh, an Architectural Digest video.
Oh, they're good.
Sarah Paulson's house.
That's all based off your history, obviously.
Of course.
I watch those.
The Israel-Palestine conflict, a brief history.
I actually searched that because I was very confused
and I wanted to be educated.
It is handy watching YouTube videos for that kind of shit.
Totally.
More Troye Sivan, Jimmy Fallon.
Like, it is me to a T.
That's my brain.
That's what's going on up there.
Well, you're not actually going to get much love on my YouTube homepage.
What do you mean?
Well, do you want to have a look?
Yeah.
Am I holding your phone?
Okay.
Oh.
Who is it?
What?
Mitch.
You go to Mitch's homepage and it says your watch history is off.
Oh.
Why did you do that?
You watch some seedy stuff.
Do you know why?
No, not even seedy stuff.
It's just because, like, is it just me on the fly?
Yeah.
Is anyone else paranoid about your search history
or your recommended videos showing up on a TV screen
when you've got people at your house?
Oh, my God, yes.
Well, that's what happened on this date.
This twink was mortified that I could see.
He wanted to pull it away.
See, I hate that feeling, so I just turned it off.
It doesn't keep track of my history search or viewing history at all,
which is a little bit annoying because sometimes I'm like,
where was that YouTube video I was watching?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But for the most part, it's such a relief.
Totally.
It would absolutely terrify me if that were to happen.
Although mine's not that bad.
You know what's worse?
My search history.
If my search history ever came up, oh, my God.
Really?
I hate that when that happens.
If you connect YouTube to the TV and you've got a bunch of friends over
and you go to search something and there's all your search history
under there.
I hate that.
But now instead of showing my search history,
it just shows trending searches.
So one of my friends might be like,
why the fuck were you searching FIFA World Cup?
Yeah, right.
And I'm like, I didn't.
There's a flame emoji, not a magnifying glass emoji next to it.
It's trending.
Not my search history.
No, it's got the little upward arrow that goes ping pong, ping pong, that little arrow
that moves up and down.
Yes.
Do you know what I also hate?
Yeah.
Is when you connect Spotify to a TV and it just brings up every podcast you've ever listened
to.
Oh, no.
Hemorrhoids.
How to fix the podcast.
That kind of shit.
And so I've been trying to figure out how to stop Spotify from doing that
because if I'm visiting someone and I'm like, oh, can I put a song on?
They're like, yeah, just connect to Spotify.
I'll go, oh, forget it.
I don't like people analysing all the things I've been listening to.
Not that I have anything to hide.
I just don't like that feeling.
I agree.
You know what?
It's also kind of connected, but when I've had the breakup,
fucking hell, I would go and search what my ex was listening to
just to make sure that he was listening to sad music.
How did you know that?
Because we followed each other on Apple Music
and it shows you what they're listening to live.
What?
Oh, my God.
Oh, I don't like that.
Listening to right now, just listen to, have listened to this week,
and if there was an ounce of a BPM above 80, I would cry and I wouldn't sleep.
I'd be like, how fucking dare you?
Seriously.
All right, Jenna, what's on your homepage?
Can't wait for equestrian.
This is quite disturbing.
The moment cops realise a body is in the house.
We found patient blood in an untouched abandoned hospital in the USA.
How I get cat hair off my couch.
Oh, send that to Mitchell.
That's handy.
Exploring an abandoned mall.
This is so rough.
This is so you.
This is very Jenna.
I also got Troye Sivan on hooking up with straight men.
Oh, interesting.
Oh, here's another ridgid on the fly.
YouTube has become a little bit shit.
Like if you search for something.
Oh, what do you mean?
If I search for something very specific.
Yes, I know what you mean.
Like what?
I don't know.
You think of anything that you might have searched.
Like how to find a dead body in a house.
Okay, sure.
Yeah.
How to find a dead body in a house.
It'll just randomly throw in a nine news video or something like that.
The search function has become really shit on YouTube.
Has it?
I completely agree.
Or like a random YouTube short.
It's trying to prioritise like trending things rather than what you've actually searched.
That's the thing.
I go, all these apps are trying to be like the biggest app, which is TikTok.
So even Instagram is like prioritising reels and random content.
And you go, you guys were built for a purpose.
Just stick it out.
You'll be fine.
People will still use you for that purpose.
Same as YouTube.
Yeah, YouTube is like one of the only things where it's a specific reason
that you go to YouTube.
Agreed.
Exactly.
I completely agree.
Anyway, if you're single and you're going on dates,
ask the date to show you your YouTube homepage.
I think it tells you a lot about them.
I'm not going on dates in a time soon, so Jenna, write that down. Yeah, put that in your notes.
Yeah, I'll show them. Actually clear yours, Jenna,
because you're not getting a second date at that rate.
Yeah, you don't want them to see it.
You can just do my hack. Turn the search history off.
Good idea. Do yourself a favour.
Good idea. Alright.
What are we up to now?
Is it time for Talk Back Tings?
No, Dal. That's Wednesday.
What day is it?
Fuck.
I'm not joking.
We have to do a segment here.
No, we're done now.
We're wrapping the Monday episode.
It's ending.
Ah, but it's Friday.
What?
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
We need to go.
Oh, were you asking what day it is today as in when we're recording because you're that
fucking out of it?
Look, I'm going to plug an aux cord into my brain.
Currently, this is what I'm hearing.
That was actually such a nice moment of micro sleep for me.
Fuck you are knackered, aren't you?
I'm fucked.
You really are.
Yeah, I do feel that you need a week off.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Thank you for blessing me, guys.
You need it. I hope no one gets the rag on about us having a week off. Yeah. Oh, my God. Thank you for blessing me, guys. You need it.
I hope no one gets the rag on about us having a week off
because when you think about it,
you were well entitled to a week off during that heartbreak period,
but you fucking pushed through.
Did I push through that whole time?
I could be wrong.
Even the week when it happened?
There was a week where we had a cheeky all right hay feeling
and I remember thinking,
and that was because I think shit was about to hit the fan.
That was literally September last year.
No, but shit did hit the fan, remember?
Yeah, yeah.
We never discussed that publicly.
Interesting.
Well, thank you for the break.
It'll be good.
So we're wrapping, are we?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Play the music, baby.
Fucking hell.
All right, Wednesday we have Talk Back Tinks.
Yes, correct.
As well as the jingle reveals that you two haven't heard.
Yes.
Some people who follow my Instagram have had a little tease of both of them.
Yeah.
But we're going to play them in full.
Okay, great.
I'm excited.
So exciting.
We'll see you guys on Wednesday.
Hope you're enjoying.
And if you've got feedback, the two episodes a week, let us know.
Send us a message.
We're one of the only shows that endorse feedback,
and sometimes you're such bastards.
That's true. I'm telling you, one of these days shows that endorse feedback, and sometimes you're such bastards. That's true.
I'm telling you, one of these days we have to go through
the Survey Monkey we did.
I think we should do that very soon because that's funny.
Jenna, people hate you.
Sorry.
That's not really true.
No, it's so rude.
It's not true.
Jenna's just my go-to punching bag.
It's true.
There was one person in the Survey Monkey.
They weren't criticising Jenna or saying they don't like her.
They just said, I've noticed that she likes to laugh at cheery jokes a lot
and sometimes repeat his jokes.
Oh, what do you mean?
Oh, repeat.
As in, like, if you say, why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.
She'll go, to get to the other side.
Yeah, I do do that.
I admit to that.
But apparently, specifically him, I was like, I've never noticed that you don't do that for me.
I've never noticed that.
Well, you know what happened, Jenna, at the radio awards,
someone came up to me and said, can I get a photo?
I said, of course, no worries, $7.
And I just got my title out and they pay passed.
And then they said, oh, my God.
And I said, you know, that's Jenna too.
And they were like, because they didn't know.
They were like, what?
Jenna?
What did they say they were a listener about?
Yeah, I'm a podcaster.
We were at Darling Harbour, remember? And then we go
that's Jenna. And they went, can I get a hug?
And I got a hug with you. And then
you were laughing and they're like, they actually said, wow
she actually just does laugh. Like on the
she just laughed at you. Yeah. And I said, yeah, she's
my laughing track. It's true. And they loved you.
People sometimes ask me
actually someone at your birthday party
I don't remember who. They ask me
is Jenna putting any
of that on i'm like no no that's her i've known her for fucking seven years that's nothing and
that's always been her yeah did i tell you how she entered your birthday jenna yeah no so like i
missed it you know how i put money on the fact that she wasn't going to come yes and i offered
to like let's catch the train together yes that's true as a way of kind of dragging her there and she didn't take me up on that so i thought oh she's not going to come let's catch the train together. Yes, that's true. As a way of kind of dragging her there. Nice.
And she didn't take me up on that, so I thought, oh, she's not going to come.
Let's just say you're me, right?
Okay, hi.
Okay, this is the entrance.
I'm going to walk through the door.
Oh, wow.
This is exciting.
That's my side gate.
This is the side gate.
Of my house.
This is Jenna walking into your house.
All right, all right.
Into your backyard.
All right.
Okay.
This is fun.
Sean, Sean, Sean.
Sean, Sean.
Cynicism. Sean, Sean. Sean, Sean. Cynicism.
Sean, Sean.
Okay, Mitch is.
I'm here.
Wow, she walked straight up to you.
Yeah, I did.
Mitchell was the first person I saw and I did say, I'm here.
Oh, my God.
That looked like an animatronic at Disney malfunctioning.
With a huge grin on her face.
It was kind of a fuck you.
Like, see, I did turn up.
She walks in and goes, I'm here.
She had a 50-minute train ride to come up with an entrance.
Like you're a guest on Will and Grace.
It's true.
Oh, yeah, shit, we were leaving, weren't we?
I think so.
Can I say, did you on the fly, I miss guest entrances on sitcoms.
What do you mean?
You know what I'm talking about?
Say, for example, it's Will and Grace,
and Will and Grace are in their New York apartment going,
God, and my cousin Nancy's in town,
and she's going to show up at any moment.
Anyway, then the door, who's that?
The door opens, and then it's Patricia Arquette doing a guest spot
as Will's cousin.
And she opens, and she just stands there,
and then the live audience.
But then it's such an unnatural amount of time for a human to stand.
They don't say anything.
I know.
And they just stand and smile and then they go to speak
and then the crowd goes again and they've got to go.
I find it so cringe at the end of a Friends episode.
They'll just like tableau.
They'll just pause as the audience laughs and the credits roll
and they'll just be standing there frozen
and I'm like, this is not how humans talk
and interact.
Who came up with the sitcom? It's fucking dumb.
It's stupid. Makes no sense.
I know, it's so unnatural when you think about it.
But it's such a fun format, the laugh track.
I mean, we're basically a sitcom here.
Jenna's our laugh track.
When we have guests in, let's just pause for the audience at home
to be applauding.
Sean Zeps is here to talk about fertility in men.
Because we're all screaming at home.
Should we go?
Yeah.
We're supposed to be.
That's true.
Sorry, we should go.
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for listening. Yeah.
We'll see you on Wednesday.
Don't forget to finger bash the notification bell, please.
We don't want anyone missing our Wednesday episodes.
Bash it, baby.
Yeah.
See you Wednesday, guys.
Catch you soon.
Bye.
See you.
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.
We pretend the show's done, and then we just keep talking shit for a little bit.
A couple of people with ADD having a debrief.
That's where the name comes from.
What we're doing.
Correct.
I'm a bit nervous.
I've got the show, the live show on Friday at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne
and I've invited a boy to come and it's going to be our first date,
but technically I'm not going to see him.
He'll just watch me.
Oh, what the fuck?
That's weird.
Is that weird? It's arrogant more than anything. No, it's not. He'll just watch me. Oh, what the fuck? That's weird. Is that weird?
It's arrogant more than anything.
No, it's not.
Like, come watch me on stage.
I won't even say hi beforehand.
No, it came out.
Are you going to do a meet and greet after?
How much is it?
No.
That's not a date.
It is a date.
We met on Hinge and the banter was cute.
Then we went to Instagram.
How did you match on Hinge if he's in Melbourne?
He was near me at the moment.
You know how Hinge is like location based?
Well, yeah, because you've got a radius on there.
Yes.
So he was clearly in Sydney near me and he was cute and I matched him.
Then we matched.
Oh, right.
And then I said, oh, what are you doing this weekend?
He's like, I'm in Melbourne.
Don't shoot me.
And I was like, I'm in Melbourne this weekend.
He's like, let's get drinks.
And I'm like, I'm only there for like 12 hours.
And you're like, better yet, instead of going to drinks like normal fucking people, you can just watch me do a 10-minute
opening act and then you have to sit through these two podcast girls
that you've never heard of.
I actually didn't know how to sell it.
I was like, well, I'll be on for 10 minutes and then I'm gone
for two hours.
And then is he paying for a ticket?
No, no, I put him on the door.
Oh, right.
Anyway, so he's like, I'd love to come.
And I said, do you have a girlfriend that loves this podcast?
I'm like, just message all your white girlfriends.
One of them will know Life Uncut.
So he came back and said, I've got a friend that likes them.
Oh, cool.
So he's going to come.
And then he's like, do we have time?
But then he's friends there.
That's even weirder now.
Well, yeah.
And then one is like, I don't even know this guy.
We've been talking for 12 hours at this point.
We just met.
So I have a date Friday night. But then then afterwards I'm not even going to see him.
Very weird.
They're going to meet me at the stage door.
You're not going to see him afterwards.
I will, but it's going to be like that meet and greet you two had with that ridiculous
wicked woman.
Gemma.
Gemma.
What makes her ridiculous?
Yeah.
How dare you?
She's not ridiculous, but the photo I find very funny.
Yeah.
It's not really funny.
Sorry.
Jenna, you laughed. Now you've made it sound like
it is funny. Because it's not. Did she
play Alphabet? Alphabet.
Oh, goodness. I'm going. Jenna Twiggs was the OG
Elphaba. Jenna Twiggs. I'm going
next Sunday night. Are you?
Yeah. On a date, no doubt.
It is a date, yeah. Oh, for fuck's sake.
Are they in the car so then you're not going
to talk to them? Yeah.
Oh, that'd be good payback. Oh, for fuck's sake. Are they in the cast and you're not going to talk to them? Oh, that'd be good payback.
Yes, they're playing Linda.
Linda.
Yeah.
The good fish.
Yeah.
Cool.
You don't deserve to see Wicked, honestly.
No, you don't.
Oh, I do.
I can appreciate musical theatre.
Can you call her Linda the good fish?
An alphabet. Did you buy her Linda the Good Fish? How dare you?
An alphabet.
Did you buy these tickets?
Absolutely not.
Of course you didn't.
You didn't buy yours either, Mitchell.
No, but that was opening night.
That's different.
And Mitchell's a fan.
You're not.
Yeah, I'll buy a snow globe.
How did you get the freebies?
I was invited to the premiere and I couldn't because I was on air.
And they said, we'll get you a make good.
And then I'm finally doing the make good tickets. Right, okay.
But here's the thing. This person I'm going on a date with
wants us to wear a costume
because it's the Halloween weekend.
And he said, hey,
do you want to have fun on the date? And you know me,
I'm like, yeah!
I said, yes. And he goes, we're wearing
costumes. What are you going to do?
Go as a pumpkin?
What are you doing? Can you go as a pumpkin? What are you doing?
Can you go as a pumpkin?
I haven't thought about it.
Or get one of those stupid inflatable costumes where it looks like the zombie's carrying you.
Like I'm riding a dinosaur?
Yes.
What's the date?
Let me check.
It's going to be the 29th.
So it's the weekend of Halloween.
So if anyone's having a Halloween party, it'll be that weekend.
So, yeah, he said, I want you to wear an outfit.
I think I'm going to go as a cowboy.
What?
To Wiccan?
No, you can't.
What do you want to do?
Go as a witch?
Yeah.
Something like that.
A boy witch?
No, a witch.
Don't want to.
Or a monkey. Why?
Because there's flying monkeys in the show. If you were a fan
you'd know that. See no evil, hear no evil,
be no evil. One of them.
Is that it? Take your pick.
Or you could go as a goat.
Why? Dr Dillamond. Yeah.
He's a goat.
Is he half
goat, half human? No, he's a goat.
No, he's a goat. How the fuck do they act that?
Well, that's central to the whole plot that animals can talk.
But then the evil Wizard of Oz starts silencing animals.
Uh-huh, because then the tornado takes her house.
That's not saying anything.
Honestly, go to the house and just start fucking diving on people.
Go to the house.
Go to the tornado. You just got a ribbon on a stick and just twirl it around people. Go as the tornado.
You just got a ribbon on a stick and just twirl it around your head
the whole time.
Who's the one with the stockings?
Eh?
Because she's under the house, the Wicked Witch of the West.
Of the East.
East.
Her sister, yeah.
She does.
Yeah.
A house falls on her.
Is there one in every aspect?
I don't know who the Wicked Witch of the South is.
No.
Interesting.
Because you're North.
Were you in with Sean, you're the Wicked Witch of the North in Sydney?
Okay.
And I'm Cronulla, South.
You're the Wicked Witch of the North.
I'm the Wicked Witch of the South.
And then East is dead.
East has perished and then West is-
I'm not spoiling what happens to the Wicked Witch of the West.
You just have to watch the musical.
Yeah.
We sung it. I know what happens. No, that's not of the West. You just have to watch the musical. We sung it.
I know what happens.
No, that's not it.
No, that's before intermission.
Correct.
Anyway.
Yeah.
So I'll be going to Wicked as a cowboy.
No, you can't do that.
You can't.
Go as a yellow brick road.
How?
Go as Toto.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Oh, a little multialtese terrier.
Yeah.
I don't want to get prosthetics.
Do you think, is it a red flag or a green flag to dress up?
This is like fifth, sixth date.
I mean, if it was me, I'd be saying, fuck that.
I think it's really funny.
But not to the theatre.
It's a bit disrespectful.
If you're going as a cowboy to Wicked, it's just ridiculous.
That's silly and that is disrespectful.
And they'll be good seats because they're free comp,
so I'll be right at the front in a fucking cowboy hat.
It's just so, it doesn't match.
It's not fitting at all.
Imagine if I went to a Titanic exhibition as a Mario brother.
It doesn't make any sense.
There's no correlation whatsoever.
I went to a Star Wars convention as Shrek.
Yeah, I'm getting it.
That's not how it works.
I'm getting it.
I'm getting it.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Went to the Easter show as Princess Diana.
She loved the Easter show.
She loved the Easter show.
She would be swamped.
Yeah, true.
She couldn't turn up.
She actually could. She actually could. She wouldn't be swamped. People wouldn't. She couldn't turn up. She actually could.
She actually could.
She wouldn't be swamped.
People wouldn't know.
She wouldn't know.
She's dead.
She couldn't.
No, but she could if she's a ghost.
Thanks.
A ghost.
Is that the Woolworth Superdome being hit by the wind at a weird angle
or is that Princess Diana?
I love the Superdome.
I love the Easter show.
Oh, don't get Jenna started.
Did you know I interned twice there?
At the Easter show?
Yeah.
That's why she ended up herding goats on Studio 10.
Yeah, I was on Studio 10 as well.
Jenna, that's such a dumb thing to say as well.
I interned at the Easter show.
It's like saying I interned in India.
The Easter show is huge.
In the media centre.
You should have been more clear.
You know where I was an intern?
No.
Where?
The ARIA Awards.
What?
And I had to fetch Osher Gunzberger coffee.
And just today, about an hour ago, we ran into him and Mitch goes,
oh, this is Mitch, by the way, and he says, nice to meet you.
And I thought, do I tell him that we've actually met?
Little baby Mitchell fetched him a coffee.
What did he drink?
I can't bloody remember.
Well, then how can he remember you?
That's true.
Interesting. Wow, full circle moment for you. Can, then how can he remember you? That's true. Interesting.
Wow, full circle moment for you.
Can we talk more about the Easter show?
I think we're done on that front.
I love the Easter show.
Me too.
I interned at 2GB.
Same.
Yeah, of course, we've discussed that.
Interned at Smooth FM.
God, that was a nightmare.
Wow.
Who was the host?
Bogart Torelli.
Yeah, no, she was gorgeous.
She's sweet.
But I only did like one day of the actual content team.
I was doing an internship within the integration team.
Oh, no.
So I just spent all day fucking packing up Michael Bublé CDs to send out in envelopes.
Smooth FM, I don't get how they get away with it.
They're like, Smooth FM, brought to you by Michael Bublé.
I was listening to Smooth the other
day in an Uber. Would never voluntarily listen
and Katy Perry Firework was on.
Yeah, they've really fucked the format. It used to just be
really slow, chill songs and now they just
hit shuffle and everything. I was in an Uber
they were playing Smooth. Ew, gross.
And Justin Bieber's Baby came
on. Yeah, see that's not Smooth.
No. It used to just be like, they would literally
play Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Yeah. I don't like it. I don's not smooth. No. It used to just be like they would literally play somewhere over the rainbow.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't like it.
I don't like smooth.
No.
Much prefer WSFM.
Of course.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah.
Speaking of WSFM, Jenna and I were at the Radio Awards.
We missed you, Mitchell.
Yes, we did.
Would have been great to have you there.
It really would have.
And, God, it was a boring night.
Yeah, no, I was going to say, don't wish I was there.
I didn't have any Fimo whatsoever.
No, but it would have been good just for the three of us to be there.
We would have been on separate tables because Jenna and I were separated all night.
Yeah, so I was on table seven.
I was on table 25.
How the fuck did you pull table seven?
Because we got best on air team.
I got best on air station.
Yeah, but team wins against station.
I was at table 25.
I had a nosebleed.
Jonesy and Amanda were like the top dogs of the industry this year, apparently.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good on you guys.
They won the bigger board.
Good on you guys.
That was good.
The opening number was interesting, Mitch.
They did a segment, a gag.
The host, Jimmy and Nath, did a gag called Octobald Fest.
Oh, were they hosting?
Well, it was a host from every radio station.
Bald Fest?
Oh, were they hosting?
Well, it was a host from every radio station.
It was like for the first time in ACRA's history,
we're bridging the divide between rival stations.
Right.
So someone from Nova hosted Joel Creasy, someone from Today FM,
Jimmy and Nathan, and someone from ARN.
Robin Bailey.
Robin Bailey.
Ah, yeah.
I bloody loved Jimmy and Nathan. They embalmed her and got her up.
Yeah, they were great.
But they did a thing called Octo Bald Fest and they got up and they said,
we need to celebrate the unsung heroes of the industry, bald men.
And then they had bald hat caps and were throwing them into the crowd
for people to wear.
And then they called me out in the middle of the show and said,
Mitchell Turi, we all know you're wearing a wig.
Someone pull it off him.
Yes.
And then someone behind me pulled my hair.
Oh. Would you ever do that? Like wear a wig if someone pulled it off him. Yes. And then someone behind me pulled my hair. Oh.
Would you ever do that?
Like wear a wig if you started to lose your hair?
I wouldn't wear a wig, but I'd go to Turkey and I'd get a transplant.
Oh, wow.
And strictly Turkey because I get my teeth done while I'm there.
Veneers.
But your teeth are good.
Thank you.
Apparently it's, I had a friend that recently got it, $2,000 in Turkey.
For what?
For which one?
For a hair transplant.
Doesn't it include like a package or something?
Yes, it includes a result.
Is that on TikTok?
Yeah, because you need like a week of, you can't fly for a week after or something because
of the swelling in your brain or your head.
So they put you up in a hotel, five stars, transfers, Mercedes-Benz, champagne on arrival.
And in Australia, it's like 15 grand.
That's why he wants to wake off.
I've just figured it out.
Oh my God, of course.
No, I'd be so transparent. I'd be talking about out. Oh, my God, of course. No, I'd be so transparent.
I'd be talking about it.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, anyway, so my hair is real.
Can I just say it is especially freezing in here today.
What the fuck's going on?
Like, my hands are so cold.
Oh, it's 19 degrees.
Yeah, I put mine under my pits.
Look, Jenna.
What?
Why do you just look at my tits?
You put what under your pits?
My hands.
Oh, right.
My armpits. I was looking. No, my hands are under my armpits to keep them warm. Yeah, Jenna. Why do you suck my tits? You put what under your pits? My hands. Oh, right.
No, my hands are under my armpits to keep them warm. Yeah, God. Because it is cold.
Fucking hell.
Maybe I'm just not used to it
because we've not been in the studio for like two weeks
but, oh, I don't remember it being this freezing.
It's very chilly. I do. The last time we were
in the studio was for my birthday episode.
Yeah, that's right. Because we got the
I got the gifts.
And we played the sound effects. Do you want to say gifts again? that's right. Because I got the gifts and we played the sound effects.
Do you want to say gifts again?
Yeah, can you?
I got the gifts.
What am I saying it weird?
Just go one more time.
Gifts.
It sounds like you're saying, oh, I'll just give you the gists, but with a g.
Gifts.
No.
Gifts.
Gifts.
It sounds funny. Oh, what do you want to say?
Gift.
Well, yeah. Yeah, that's how you say it. But it is hard to put an S on the end of that. Gifts. Gifts. Gifts. No. Gifts. Gifts. It sounds funny. Oh, well, you want to say gift. Well, yeah.
Yeah, that's how you say it.
But it is hard to put an S on the end of that.
Gifts.
Gifts.
Gifts.
Fists.
But that doesn't mean that you just abandon the T like it doesn't exist.
I got gifts.
Say it again.
Gifts.
Stop it.
It's just the unbridled confidence that comes with it as well.
Gifts.
I got gifts.
Oh, sorry. I can't go. Gifts. Oh, sorry.
I can't go to dinner tonight.
I work night.
Chits.
Yeah, I'm going to have to take the stairs.
Every single one of the building lifts is broken down.
That's hard.
You swallow.
You tried, Jenna.
No, it's too hard.
You can't think of a rhyming word.
No, I'm too tired.
I love Taylor Swift.
Oh, my God.
That's enough.
All right, we probably should go.
Oh, Jesus, that was abrupt.
We don't have to.
We can stay.
My pits are warming my hands.
I'm fine.
I could stay.
It's up to you.
I'm going to get a cease and desist from Rebel Wilson.
That's how you say desist.
Desist.
Well, someone who, do you think a Kiwi person talking about a family member
that's deceased would just say, yeah, no.
No, it'd be cease and desist.
Desist.
Yeah, desist.
Yeah, she's deceased.
Desist.
Desist.
Anyway, we hope this podcast made you feel at least, oh, actually, fuck.
What?
Hold on.
While I'm on that topic, I got two messages last week.
Well, we got two messages last week, Eunice and Aidan.
They pointed out that, you know how this whole 3% better thing?
Yeah.
When we started doing that, it was originally 2% better,
inspired by that Tyverd as scumbag.
Yes. So it was originally two percent better inspired by that tyverd as scumbag yes so it was two percent and then on our three year anniversary i upped it to three percent better yes now that
we've had our four year anniversary it technically should be four percent but because we're doing two
episodes a week the percentage gets splits in two so we're back where we fucking started
back to two so we're back to two but technically you're getting four a week. Correct. Four in total.
So we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Hold on.
I argue, though, if we're doing two episodes,
each episode should still have the same amount of daily improvement.
I can't be fucking putting myself under that sort of pressure.
Yeah, that's too much.
Making people feel 8% better every week.
I don't have it in me.
Yeah, right.
That's a lot.
I can't offer that guarantee.
That's almost 10%. Yeah, that's fucking heaps. So 2% better is where? I don't have it in me. Yeah, right. That's a lot. I can't offer that guarantee. That's almost 10%.
Yeah, that's fucking heaps.
So 2% better is where we're at.
Yeah.
And then next year will be three, which will be six.
Huh?
No.
Yeah, no.
Well, next year it'll be our five-year anniversary,
so it'll be 2.5.
Fucking hell.
At this rate, you won't make it to next year.
No, I don't think so.
So we're doing two?
Yeah.
Okay, all right, sure. All right, kick it off. We hope this podcast made you feel at least it to this year. No, I don't think so. So we're doing two? Yeah. Okay, all right, sure.
All right, kick it off.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
So we do.
Gorgeous.
Lovely.
