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. So I'll be going to Wicked as a cowboy. What?

Because it's the Halloween weekend. We're wearing costumes and I'm going as a cowboy. To Wicked? Yeah. No. No, you can't do that. No, no, no, you can't. Imagine if I went to a Titanic exhibition as a Mario brother.

It doesn't make any sense. Now, here's Mitch Curie and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Oh, good to see you. Welcome back. I literally haven't seen you the whole time we had that week off. I know.

The break, can I tell you, that break went so quickly. It did, actually, but I wouldn't want to have had any longer off. It was a good little refresh. Yeah, it was. Can I tell you, that break went so quickly. It did, actually. But I wouldn't want to have had any longer off. It was a good little refresh. Yeah, it was. Can I tell you, by the way? Yeah. During our one week off, I couldn't wait to come back because I received some amazing, wonderful news. Oh, what happened?

I found Franco. Who? Remember my hairdresser? Jenna remembers. Oh, fuck. Sorry. Prizekeeper Jenna's here. Hold on.

Hold on. I thought you were talking for some reason about your glasses. I'm like, fuck, did we name the glasses? No, no. My hairdresser. Remember? I was heartbroken. Yes, I do.

He just resigned and vanished. He was the Wiggles. He was Dorothy in the original cast production of The Wiggles. That's not correct. Oh, Captain Feathersword. Understudy. Understudy. He was in Amanda's episode of The Wiggles.

Really? Amanda Kelly, your boss. Yes. Get out. Where did you find that out? Oh, we're doing a project. They slept together. Yeah.

Oh my God. Okay, so where was he? Oh, don't tell me. Birth, death and marriages. He's dead. No, no, no, no, no. Because remember, I had no way of contacting him. He had no social media.

Yeah, this is Mitch's hairdresser who, without any notice, left. Yeah. I've been loyal to him for like five years now. Yeah. Ghosted you. He did. He ghosted you. I got a message on Instagram and it was kind of ominous.

This woman just said to me, I know where Franco is. And I said, tell me everything you know. And then she sent a photo of him working in a salon and she goes, he's my colleague now. Oh my God. And guess what? What? He passed on his number. So I'll never lose him again.

But I don't understand why he didn't even tell you. Well, he did. He just doesn't have social media. So he asked someone that does have social media to tell me. It was quite sweet. He was tracking me down at the same time. Oh, I thought you meant a listener was like, hey, I found Fiyero for you. But Fiyero contacted you?

No, Franco, by the way. Franco. Oh, sorry. Who am I talking about? You've got Wicked on the brain. I do have Wicked on the brain. I do. Yeah.

I saw Wicked, so I'm thinking of Fiyero. Did you love it? I absolutely had the best time. And you seriously went dressed as a cowboy to see Wicked the musical? That was horrific. I can admit now live on the record that I did not go as a cowboy. Oh, thank you. Oh, you didn't?

No, I didn't. As if I'd do that. I just want to just stir the idiots up. That's our photo on our Instagram. Yeah, I put that up. I went on a date the night before to a Halloween date. Actually, it was just a restaurant. We dressed up.

Oh, so the cowboy outfit did happen, but you didn't wear it to the theatre. Correct. I then went to Wicked on another date and was dressed normally. Thank fuck for that. And can I say, as I was sitting in the audience, I thought, yeah, I could not have dressed as a cowboy. It would have been ridiculous. Oh my God.

And in all those somber moments, like the chaps would have just squeaked on my inner thighs and they were arseless chaps. It would not have been good. Thank God you listened to our advice. Thank you for the advice. I really did love Wicked because you guys love it. You guys are obsessed. You've got the snow globe and you've seen Jennifer Wicks backstage.

This is how much he loved it, Jenna. He said to me, can we reenact a scene from Wicked on the podcast? Oh, my God. I've never been more fucking excited at an idea of yours. I was like, absolutely. I know what scene we're doing. It's happening. So that's going to happen in our Wednesday episode. Episode 170. We're doing an acting class. Oh, that's going to be fun.

And need I remind you that I have studied theatre so I am very ready for this. When? In 2015. I studied in New York. Oh, she didn't have the guts. She didn't have the guts. Jenna, if you're going to be. Oh, she didn't have the guts. She didn't have the guts. She didn't have the guts. When did I ask? Jenna, if you're going to be a bitch, you have to have the guts.

Yeah, I was so proud of you. I'm getting there. I'm halfway there. She's somewhat at the last hurdle. I know. When to say when? Oh, God. I'm going to start doing it to you two.

Go on, Adia. Well, just you wait. Well, we don't waste our words like you, so there might be an opportunity. No. No, it doesn't work like that. It's very hard to do. Well, I'll be the nice one of the show. That doesn't bother me.

Who's going to be Alphabet? I think you said you wanted to be Glinda. I do want to be her. She was your favourite character. Glinda the Good Witch. Yes! I'll be Elphaba, the Wicked Witch. This is happening on Wednesday. I know, but let's be real. I mean, that is the perfect casting for this show. I think so. I mean, you are definitely Alfie. I would say so. Alfie.

Yeah. She an elf. The lore of it's really confusing. Like the green, the Gatorade that she drinks, it's all a bit confusing. And Todd McKinney came out. I'm like, what? Go and dance with the stars.

Anyway. All right. That's Wednesday's show. I'm very excited. I mean, I may as well mention while we're at it that on Wednesday's episode, we're also doing another Talk Back Tings. I said in our last episode when we did Talk Back Tings,

I said I'm going to do a welfare check on John Laws because we haven't checked on him in a while. Oh, my God. He's in finer form than ever. Great. Let me just say. Okay. Oh, my God.

I can't wait to play that for you. That's Wednesday. As for today. Yeah. We're here and we're on and we're live. That was me letting you do your usual spiel. Oh, have we had enough catch up? Up to you.

Don't have any questions for you, Jenna. I don't have any. No, I've got no questions about you. No. You've got Pilates? Yeah. Still going? Yeah, I was there just an hour ago.

Oh. Yeah. If it's your first time listening, we start every show the same with an Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, hate or appreciate. Now, today, we both have one each. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. That's how it works.

Correct. Mine is actually about Squish Mellows. Oh, my favourite. I love them. Yeah, you gifted me my first ever Squish Mellow and I have feedback. Well, I didn't invent the things. I know you didn't invent the thing.

Do you want me to pass on the feedback? Well, maybe I just won't do it then. No, do it. I'm not going to be a dick about it. No, I'm not didn't invent the thing. Do you want me to pass on the feedback? Well, maybe I just won't do it then. No, do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. No, I'm not going to be a dick. Wait, I feel like this is negative. All I've done is talk up Squishmallows. I love my Heath and Selenia. You've got a Heath, do you? Yeah. Heath and Selenia. And what do you have? You've got a

Colette. Tony Colette. Camelo. Yeah. Camelo. And I've got some sort of dumb dinosaur. I hate my Squishmallow. What's its real name? I don't know. Why do you hate your Squishmallow? You're the one that swears by them. No, no, no.

I told you, but I miss my original two. It's still tender for me. Our idiots also love Squishmallows. They're sending us in their Squishmallows that they have. All right, interesting. Mitch, we'll get your take on them. I don't know why you still miss your old Squishmallows. When you literally told me you used it to prop someone's arse up.

Okay, that's enough. Imagine the remnants lingering on those foul fucking bed. Okay, that's enough. Imagine the remnants lingering on those foul fucking things. Okay, that's enough. God, I'm glad you didn't keep them. How revolting. Good call, actually. That's a good point. The stains, imagine.

No, no. They do work very well for that purpose. All right, my Idjimor. I'll just jump in first, shall I? May as well start. All right, here we go. Is it just me or... Did that cough get picked up? Sorry. I actually didn as well start. All right. Here we go. Is it just me? Or?

Did that cough get picked up? Sorry. I actually didn't hear it, to be fair. You kind of looked at me. I thought that I tried to turn my microphone off. But I think it got picked up in your mic. Because I was like, what? Sorry.

Did I? I'm wearing different headphones today. I actually just got swept up in that moment. I was appreciating the fucking brilliance of that sound effect. I was like, oh, has it always had that much depth and bass? And then I just coughed a lurgy up into the air. Well, if you heard that cough, that was for you. Oh, now I have to do it again. I've ruined the flow of the show. Sorry. That's alright. No, I want to do it again. I'll do it again. Is it just me?

Are you also struggling to get into our therapist? Yes. Are you too? Yes. What is wrong? Is it because we've mentioned her on this show that she's now the most popular therapist in the country? I don't know what's happened, but normally after an appointment, her receptionist will send a list of, like, next available appointments, take your pick, here's three or four. I didn't even get that email this time.

Yeah. So I emailed and said, yo, how do I get back in to see the shrink lady? Yeah. Heard nothing. Same. Is it because it's the end of the year and they go on breaks and stuff? Well, aren't people famously excited at the end of the year because it's Christmas, everyone's happy?

You don't need a shrink in December. No, not everyone's happy in December. Some people get depressed at Christmas and stuff. That's true. True, but it's summer. Most people are depressed in winter in the cold months. Don't assume. I've got headspace.

I listen to that British man. That's what he's told me. Listen, the only reason I ask is because I'm going to have to do my therapy on this show now. Sorry. What do you mean? Well, I can't talk to my therapist. So next best is you two.

Okay. Oh, fuck. What about Lifeline, for God's sake? 13, 11, 14. I've never called Lifeline, but I feel like... Is Lifeline for, like, is it Daya or Lifeline's for just to have a chat? Just anything, really. I mean, it's like crisis management.

Yeah. Typically. But, you know, they're never going to say, don't fucking call us with this nonsense. Yeah, right. I wonder if you could call them with a meanie. Like, hi, guys, I've lost my Apple Watch. Have you checked under the couch, darling? No, you couldn't call them with that. That is true. Okay, right. I wonder if you could call them with a meanie. Like, hi, guys. I've lost my Apple Watch. Have you checked under the couch, darling?

No, you couldn't call them with that. That is true. Okay, good. And I don't suggest that. Don't waste the resource. No, no. Publicly funded. No, I'm just at this weird crossroads.

So, you know, being single is like, oh, I feel, and Jenna, you can relate to this. You've been single a while. And how long were you single for, Mitch? Ever. Forever. Yeah. Now you've got Sean. But I'm kind of at this weird point where I'm dating.

I'm happy and I love dating. But then it's also like, you know how everyone says being single is the best point in your life because you learn so much about yourself. And while you're single, you should really learn to be happy being alone and being content. That way, when you find a partner, you don't really need them. It's just because you want one. Right? Like that's kind of the mantra that everyone says,

like be happy within yourself. So I'm at this point where I'm like thinking that. I'm like that's what I want to get to, a point where I'm so comfortable, where I don't need anyone. I'm like self-serving. I'm like, you know, a cat that can just lick themselves and clean themselves, you know what I mean? Like a self-cleaning dishwasher.

You know, they exist. Do they? Yeah, yeah, the self-cleaning ovens. There's a button you press and it cleans everything. Get fucked. Sorry, we're supposed to be talking about, yeah. The self-cleaning ovens. There's a button you'd press and it cleans everything. Get fucked. Sorry, we're supposed to be talking about your spirit. Yes. It's a good analogy.

The Whirlpool ovens are great. You press clean and it internally cleans them. Where do you get them? I'm pretty sure Good Guys. Like Good Guys. Yeah, any white goods store, yeah. Bingley? Yeah, for sure, Bingley.

Oh, I'll check it out. Just ask Nancy Lee. Anyway, you press a button, it self-cleans. That's kind of where my head's at. I'm like, that's where I want to get to. But now I'm like, oh, I really think I want someone. Like I want a partner. And I'm conflicted because I'm thinking,

is that a bad thing to want to have someone? Because I think what I'm learning from this whole singledom is that I'm better with someone. Like I'm better with a partner. I think I get more of myself as brought out when I'm around someone like that. Does that make sense? I think so, but also I don't know.

I don't know because I'm not a therapist, but I don't know if that logic is correct that you're better with someone else. Yeah. Well, it's not better, but I think I enjoy, like I get more fun out of life. Like if I go through Macca's drive-thru on my own, very sad and depressing. I don't think so. No, but in my mind I'm like, oh, I wish someone was here with me. We could listen to music and we could play improv games with the teller

and do accents. That sounds like a great time. You never invited me. You've got friends. Yeah, that's true actually. Maybe I just need to spend more time with my friends. Yeah, no, it has been a while because when you first became single, you were much more available and active with your social life.

I haven't fucking seen you in ages. I haven't seen anyone in the last month with this tour. The tour is now done. I've been in the gym a month. Fucked Tober is over. Oh my God. Fucked Tober's done. But do you ever get sad, Jenna?

Do you get sad like, oh, Milan, I wish I had someone? I do. I do get sad, but I don't think, oh, I wish I had someone. Yeah, that's the thing. I think like, oh, it would be nice to have someone, but I don't think oh i wish i had someone yeah that's the thing i think like oh it would be nice to have someone but i don't think all the time oh i wish having someone would change how i feel and all that interesting so maybe i need to not rely think about relying on someone i think that's a good conclusion to come to because it was similar for me i was like

yeah i imagine myself having a partner down the track but it's not like I was sitting around going, oh, I'm single. Yeah. What's the point of living? No, I'm definitely not at that point. I'm not at that point. But it's like, God, I feel like I'm just built to have someone, you know? I will say it's important to date a few fuckheads.

Oh, really? Yeah. Like I said that I was single forever, but that's excluding all the myriad of situationships. And every dickhead along the way taught me what I will and will not tolerate in a man. That's a good point. So it's good to date cockheads from time to time. That's true.

I haven't had a cockhead yet. Okay. I haven't had one. Well, that can be arranged. If you're a cockhead, play Oscar's jingle. That's the number to call. Should we play? I haven't played it yet, officially.

Is it too soon? Oh, if you want to. We're in my fucking e-gym. I'm about to call. Should we play? I haven't played it yet, officially. Is it too soon? Oh, if you want to. We're in my fucking e-gym. I'm about to cry. Do it. All right. Well, what you need when you're about to cry is Kelly Clarkson. Very true.

Okay, well, if you're a faghead, hit us up. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 Send us a text, please. Yeah, there you go. That's the number to text. We need someone to just toy with Mitch's emotions. Oh, my God. This is actually a really good experiment.

Yeah. I want to date a fuckhead. Oh, I love this. I've got the number of quite a few still saved in my phone if you need them. Connect me with them, please. I've only had really good dates. And it gets to the point where I'm like, oh, God, I'm going to have to stop talking to this person because I don't want to commit.

It always ends in commit. You know what I mean? When you say always, it's happened once. No, no, no, no, no. I've been talking to people and it gets to the point where it's either we go to commitment or it's like we kind of just phase out or I say no, you know? Yeah. And I've bitched about it before.

I always seem to get to that point and it always fades out. Interesting. Three month curse is what I used to refer to. Oh, yeah. To the point where I literally warned Sean about it when we were just seeing each other and we weren't official. I said, just so you know, I might go a bit crazy around three months because I'll be antsy as to where we're going.

And he's like, okay. And son of a bitch waited four months to make it official. Three months. I'm at three months with someone. I've been dating someone for three months. And now you're at a crossroads. I'm telling you the three month curse is real. Interesting.

All of a sudden, every time I'm dating someone, it gets to the three month mark and all of a sudden heightened anxiety. I'm like, what is this? Wow. This was great guys. Don't, don't sell yourself short. This was good therapy. This is what I needed, just to chat it out with your friends, right? Your two friends.

Yeah, we're friends. Yeah, we're friends. Swipe your Medicare card on the way out, please. I'll send you the invoice. Please do. Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches.

If you don't, you're a dickhead. Hey, speaking of fucked Toba being done and dusted. Yes. I'd like to officially welcome everyone to Mugvember. Wow. It's not the world's greatest pun. But during the month of Mugvember, our brand new Season 5 mugs are on sale. Oh, my God.

Finally. We've got mugs. They're available. I thought I wanted to get an applause sound effect, but I only had the horse ready. That's fine. Giddy up. We've got mugs. Yeah, giddy up. Fucking mugs, guys. And yeah, you're right. The mugs are gorgeous. We're in our teal era. Yes.

The beautiful teal mugs. And if you head to the link in our Instagram bio, I'll pop the link in the Facebook group too, actually. And the fucking show description. I'll put it everywhere. You won't miss it. Yeah, why not? So we're taking mug orders until the end of November.

And if you have a look on the website, it's got a never-before-seen photo of the three of us. Yep. Like a rare Pokemon card. You've got to collect it. I think we look quite iconic, actually. You and I stand in there like we're fucking SVU detectives on Law and Order and then you've just got Jenna in the middle of it. It's like, hi!

Yeah, you look like Mariska Haggerty if she was kind of just chill. We're doing that pose where it's like, what do you call it? Like the intense Smize. We're smizing. We're smizing our tits off and then Jenna's just there like a little infant. Smiling.

It looks like there's, yeah, we photoshopped in, but you were actually with us. No, I was there. In the moment. I thought we were all smiling. Actually, that was the last full family photo we had because contraceptive diaphragm Sam, God rest his soul, took that photo.

He's still alive and well. Yeah, yeah. No, no, of course, before the tsunami got him. He's all right. So, yeah, get the new mug. If you've got all the old ones, you've got to add this one to your collection now. Yeah. Someone messaged

The Facebook group The other day Saying I've had this mug For two years They had one of the Season one or season two mugs And she said I just went to wash it

Hand wash it And I for the first time ever Looked on the bottom And there was a secret message On the bottom Yeah especially Because you can buy ones That you and I have signed

Yes And sometimes you go A bit fucking rogue With the texter And just write shit on there. And I'm always there going, don't write in the mug. They'll get ink poisoning. Oh, yeah, I wanted to write in the mug.

Mitch is like, they're going to pass away. I'm like, shit, be like that mushroom case in Melbourne. I'll get arrested for killing someone. So mugs are officially available. Go buy one. It supports us, keeps us going. It's a free podcast. You know, buy a mug, support your pals.

Yeah, exactly. And I will say, we just step our puss up every mug drop. The season one, it's that little piece of shit with our emojis on it. Yuck. Oh, my God. Remember the Aramoji era? I know. It was very lazy of us.

It was very new. We were new. Podcasting was the Wild West, Final Frontier, you know. And plus, this could have crashed and burned. It would have been an epic fail. True. We've only thrived. Exactly.

Since. With our beautiful teal mugs. Yeah, go get a mug. Available from now until the end of November. Go buy them. And yeah, we'll start sending them out. Not immediately. We wouldn't get all the orders in November, but they'll be there in time for Christmas.

That's a promise. Perfect for a cuppa, a little afternoon coffee. Listen to the podcast and use your mug. Also, while I'm doing a bit of self-promo, can I just, you know, do even more flogging over here? A little promo haul. You've got mugs of your own? No, I don't have mugs of my own.

By the way, speaking of that, where the fuck's my Hot Girl Walk t-shirt? Oh, they've been officially shipped today, everybody. Oh, fabulous. Hot Girl Walk merch has been shipped. It's coming this week. Apologies. We had distributor issues. Well, that's my promise.

The mugs will get there quicker than a Hot Girl Walk shirt from Cheery. Well, they're hot girl walk shirts. It's not hot girl run. They're coming at a slow pace. Those shirts are in no fucking way. Those shirts really took their time. Apologies, everyone. The shirts are coming if you purchase.

Thank you, of course. But know what I wanted to plug with my Perth gig? Oh, yes. Yes, yes. I saw that. I'm coming to Perth for the first time. Yes. November.

Oh, I should know this, shouldn't I? 18th. 19th. Oh, shit. You were close. I'll be in Adelaide on that day. I watched you live last night. That's why I know. Oh, God't I? 18th. 19th. You were close. I'll be in Adelaide on that day. I watched you live last night. That's why I know.

Oh, God. I was driving home watching it. I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing you should admit. Maybe don't do that. I was a passenger. I have a driver now. Do that. Yeah, that's what happened.

Yeah, because that's what I say when I'm on a bus. Just driving. Yeah, yeah, of course. I drove the bus in. Yeah, yeah, of course. God. I saw you making clips. Yeah, yeah, of course. God. I saw you making clips. So 18th in Adelaide.

So you've never been to Perth? 17th and 18th in Adelaide and then 19th in Perth. It's going to be, yeah, squeezing it all into one weekend. So I went to Perth for the first time two weeks ago. I know. It's actually gorgeous. I'm kind of worried that I'm going to fall in love with it and never want to leave. Because everything I've heard about Perth, I'm like, sounds right up my fucking alley actually. Small country town, no traffic.

It's a beautiful dry heat right by the coast. The sun sets in the sea. Gorgeous. That's amazing. I did love that about Darwin. Yeah. It's so cool. It's beautiful.

Although I think I might be a fuckwit because I couldn't figure out why the sun was setting on the beach in Darwin because it's north. The sun sets in the west. Why the fuck could I get a sunset over the beach in Darwin? Where's Darwin? Darwin's north, right? Up the top. Well, it would have been setting kind of like in the middle, right?

Beach in the land. No, it was like right over the beach. It was really weird. Maybe we were on a peninsula facing west. I don't know. Where's the moon then? That is so confusing. It is confusing, isn't it?

Yeah, near a Leo right Yes Yeah that's why Alright well congratulations on the Perth shows Thank you That's very exciting Well done And it's the same show Water Off A Duck's Clit

Yes but because I didn't take my show to Perth last year I might throw in some of the best bits from the first tour Amazing My greatest hits tour if you like Oh my god Well can I admit something I don't know if you do this Mitchell But I did it

In Fucktober I was opening for the Life Uncut podcast tour And I had 10 minutes of gear Of stand up set And by the end It was the same set And I was doing it all the time

So do you ever add a joking Like if you feel an improv one In the moment Yeah yeah Yeah that's what I did But it was really bad What do you mean It was not fun

It was tanked What Yeah Like you try My set was good And. It was tanked. What? Yeah. My set was good and I refined it to make it, like I cut all the fat. Anyway, I made a joke about, I tell this story about getting a blow job while I'm wearing skims and like trying to get into the little flap in the middle of the skims

is like trying to rescue those 12 Thai boys from that cave. Oh, my God. And then everyone went, oh, like one of those laughs. Like they're laughing, but like, oh. Like the Oscars. Yes, yes. Like we shouldn't laugh, but we are. And then I went, relax, nobody died.

Oh. Yeah, someone did. Yeah, they did. Yeah. You're a bit like the Malaysian airlines of comedy. The jokes don't always land. No, no. No, no.

Exactly right. And now I've done my stand-up for a month. I'll never be seen again. Oh, you don't want to open for me now? Never mind. Oh, no. Exactly right. And now I've done my stand-up for a month, I'll never be seen again. Oh, you don't want to open for me now? Never mind. Oh, my God. That would be iconic. Who's opening for you?

No one, actually. Do you need an opener? Well, last time I had opening acts, it's because I was nervous that I wouldn't feel an hour, and then I kept getting in trouble for running over. So now I just feel the hour myself. You don't need anyone. That would be such an iconic. How do you find it?

And now we've said it. Imagine a surprise. Well, we're planning to do our podcast live shows eventually. We don't need to open for each other. We'll just both be on stage. Oh, my God. Imagine that. What if we did like 10 minutes each?

And then you're in the audience. Of course, Jenna. You'll get family and friends, right? It's relax. Oh, shit. Well, I don't get tickets. No, you'll get them After you pay for them You can send them to the website

Yeah We'll give you a QR code You'll be fine Discount? Maybe if I'm not selling well I'll take it to the board Yeah of course Hey how are you?

What? We're the board Oh right Absolutely not No fuck that bitch She can fucking pay She doesn't pay for fuel She's fine

She's doing just well I drove the bus. Come on. That's true. That's very true. I have to shout out a bunch of idiots that came to the Canberra show, the Life Uncut show. Someone flew from Tasmania to see me open.

An idiot. Wow. Yeah. You didn't tell me that. Yeah, so I had about six. Actually, can you post the photo if you're listening? I had about six idiots. You don't remember their name, do you?

The panic eyes.ifer edited in um no no it was so many of them um six there were six idiots all up and they all kind of like were waiting backstage and i saw one and then they kind of everyone's always waiting for britney and laura and there's never a line for me there's like one person and you know they think i'm britney but a bit swollen i'm like no i'm mitch anyway so they're all kind of hugging and then there was like six idiots and they all got a group photo together. Oh, that's so cute. I know. It's really sweet because I always see Mitch at the end of your shows. You get all the idiots get the photos with you.

It's so sweet. It's actually my favourite part. It looks like the best part. It's so sweet. So then I had that and she flew up from Tasmania. So thank you if that's you and you're listening. Anyway, tickets. Where are your tickets, Mitch?

Just on my Instagram, the link in bio. Love it. Mugtober is on, tickets. Where are your tickets, Mitch? Just on my Instagram, the link in bio. Love it. Mugtober is on, everyone. Mugvember. Close, but yeah. We're lucky we didn't do it in December. What would that be? Mugsember.

It's terrible. That sounds awful. Yeah, that's gross. Dekagber. What? I'm trying to put a mug after December. Oh. December.

The same mug. Should I do my idgim? What are we doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You ready? Yeah.

Sure. Is it just me or? Just squish mellows ruin romance. Oh, I knew. I had a feeling this was going to be negative. I have already said on the record that I used to use my squish mellow to prop the hips up. So I have no, I think they're the opposite. Prop the ass up were your exact words, I knew. I had a feeling this was going to be negative. I have already said on the record that I used to use my squishmallow to prop the hips up. So I think they're the opposite. Prop the arse up were your exact words, I feel.

Well, I'm not that vulgar, was I? Yeah. It was a from home episode, Jenna. Sorry, I wasn't in the right mind. What do you mean? How? Tell me. I feel like a third wheel in my own relationship now.

Ever since you gave me that stupid stuffed rat. It's not stupid. Oh, it fucking is. He's holding a donut, rat. It's not stupid. Oh, it fucking is. He's holding a donut, Jenna. It's dumb. His fucking rat is holding a donut. I love it. It's stupid.

What do you mean? What's happened? You know how you might have those mornings. This is sorry to trigger your fucking sensitive single time, but cast your mind back to when you shared a bed. You know what? Those cute mornings where you might have a little snuggle in bed, like you're spooning? Yeah, of course.

If, for instance, I'm the big spoon. Yeah. Which, by the way. Rare. It's not even that rare. It should be more rare. Sean is so tall. Like the proportions are all wrong.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah. And he always seems to sleep quite high up in the bed. You know when you're spooning someone from behind, you're the big spoon. Yeah. Your chin nestles into their shoulder. Yeah. My nose is buried in the bed. You know when you're spooning someone from behind, you're the big spoon. Yeah. You kind of, your chin like nestles into their shoulder. Yeah.

My nose is buried in his back. What? I'm like, can you slide down a bit? Anyway, that's a side note. That's another issue. It's too long for you. So anyway, on a normal occasion, if I'm the big spoon, all I have to do is just like let go and roll over,

face the other way, and he takes the hint. Even if he's deep in sleep, he fucking picks up on the cue and he will become the big spoon, right? Ever since that bullshit Squishmallow came along, I'll drop the hint, I'll roll over and be like, might turn to be a little spoon. But no, he's content. He's clutching onto that fucking Squishmallow for dear life.

He's like, I'm already hugging someone. I don't need to hug you. Oh, no, you've been replaced. I have. Oh, fuck. And I didn't even notice that when I was the big spoon, he had a fucking third spoon the whole time. Oh, so there were actually two big spoons and a little spoon.

Yes, he loves it. I was a ladle. He was the big spoon. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, more of a spatula in the middle. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, no, he's obsessed with that thing.

They're so comfortable. I can't get a look in. So, see, I thought the problem was going to arise because I've had someone over at my house with my Squishmallow on the bed and I actually hid it in my wardrobe because I didn't want them to see because I thought it was very embarrassing. Oh, why? Really? Can you talk openly about it?

Not for like a first time in my bed. I suppose so. You know what I mean? Like later on, you know? Like I want to reveal that towards the end. Or if it's going to become something. If you know it's going to be one time, you don't need to know that I cuddle a fucking squishmallow every night.

Yeah, I mean, maybe I should start hiding it from Sean because I'm not saying it ruins romance because I'm embarrassed by it. Because he prefers it. Well, have you tried the propping up of the hips? No. Okay. No. That fucking animal in my bed, it's already stolen my snuggles.

It's not fucking getting involved. It's not going to be a third wheel during that time. Yeah, and it's got beady little eyes. Imagine it looking back up at Sean. It looks so smug. It does. Yours especially. When I looked at it and went, oh, my God, he's spooning the Squishmallow.

That little fucking thing looked at me like, suck shit. I think that's in your head And I think you need to call our therapist We're both clearly very overdue All I know Is that he wouldn't bloody roll over And it wasn't just a subtle hint When I realised

Oh he's not taking the hint Yeah he's on Camilla I started literally like Putting pressure on the shoulder Being like come on Roll this way Right And he just wouldn't

But it was your nose That was pushing the pressure Into his back was it No no no This is when I'd already rolled over Yeah got it And then I rolled over And I was like, where'd he go? Hello?

Is he holding it with both of his arms? Yes. Is he cuddling the thing? Yes. Oh, no. I cuddle mine every night. Yeah, see, well, it's normal when you're on your own. Yeah.

Because I do the same. Yeah. Oh, Mitch, I feel for you. Yeah, thanks for that. And inadvertently, that's me. I put a wedge in your relationship. You have. Secretly trying to get you single so you can be depressed with me.

That is true. Come to the dark side. It's very sad. And then when he actually sort of woke up, he was like, oh, morning, how'd you sleep? And I was like, not as good as you, evidently. Yes. Right in front of me. Right in front of my fucking eyes.

I was rejected. He doesn't even have the guts to put a cloth over it. No. He's doing it in broad daylight. Cheaters, huh? And I just kept facing that way in the bed, like away from him, after I'd rolled over. Oh, you gave him the cold shoulder.

I've been like, you know what you did. Yeah. What if you're like, it just, the squishmallow starts appearing like you're cooking dinner and it's just sitting at the dining table? That seems odd. I mean, it is still cute. Yeah, no, of course.

It matches my bedspread beautifully. Yeah, it does. But that little motherfucker, he's coming for my man. Ruining your relationship. Yeah. Homewrecking fucking rat. Couldn't have said it better myself, actually. Get stuffed.

Oh, wait, you already are. That's not possible. All right, we should get out of here. Yeah, we better. What is yours again, Jenna? Selenia. Yeah, it's a dragon. No, Selen get out of here. Yeah, we better. What is yours again, Jenna? Selenia and Heath. Yeah, it's a dragon. No, Selenia's a cat.

Yeah. Heath is a rainbow dog, but I thought it was a rainbow cat. You know what I want to get on the show, Mitch? And I will make it my personal mission. Sure. The dumb that comes up with these stupid fucking squishmallows. Imagine the board meeting. I've got it.

No, but have you read the- Dragon dog with donut. Have you read the descriptions of them? No. Oh, I'll read you Heath's description. And Heath. Where does Heath come from? And Selenia.

What business does a rat have with a donut? And the proportions are way off, just like when I'm spooning Sean. That rat is like the size of a basketball holding a normal-sized donut. It's just not possible. What business does a rat have with a donut? Great question. This is Selenia. Selenia wishes she could hug everyone,

but her immune system has to work a little bit harder in order to fight off germs. How did you get a fucking sick squishmallow? She sticks to fist pumps and air high-fives to say hello. She's a huge fan of French baking and is striving to perfect her flaky croissant dough. Do you want to help her taste test? What? That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous.

Selenia. So you have an immuno- Oh, that one is cute, actually. You have an immuno-suppressed squishmallow. Yes. Can you find Mitch's donut? Yeah. See what's going on there?

What's its name? It's called Camillo with donut. I didn't bother to get to know it. I'm going to Google mine. Here's mine. Mine's a little. We can't keep going down this same fucking rabbit hole. We can.

We're Googling Squishmallows. Okay. Camillo. Yeah. Meet Camillo. Camillo is a musical theatre major. So he's been to uni. What the fuck?

And their dream is to be on stage. There? Camillo. Hold on, Camillo is non-binary? Yes. Wow. Camillo has been taking voice, dance and acting lessons for years and knows all the words to the big musicals.

Do you want to sing and dance with Camillo? Mitchell, it's actually perfect for you. Not particularly. I don't want to sing or dance with fucking Camillo. So that little slut is going to uni by day and then sleeping with your man by night. No, I already graduated, apparently, according to that. Or is it still at uni? It must be still because it's a musical theatre major.

But when he's not sleeping with my man, he's going to a lecture. Is it nighter? Good. Fuck, Zarina is the banana slug Squishmallow. Zarina has memberships to all the museums in her city, so I'm sleeping with a woman. Whenever she has a free day to herself, she swings by to check out the new exhibits. The Natural History Museum is her favourite, and she almost has all the collector pins. Would you like to join Zarina on her next museum visit?

When, Zarina? Yeah, exactly. What about my other one? Heath is a pride husky. He is a member of a talented acting troupe, the Wolf Pack. Though Heath was born a husky, he moves, sounds and acts like a wolf. His fellow actors agree and are

happy to include him where he belongs on stage, front and centre. Wow, I'm sorry but that's so interesting. Are we done with Squishmallow chat? I think we're done. I think we're done with the show, everyone. Don't forget Mug's available now. It's Mugvember.

Go get tickets to Coombs' gigs. Yes. And we will have a new episode out Wednesday. Speaking of, yeah, you're Squishmallow doing a musical theatre degree. Oh, yes. Yeah, you're obviously trying to improve, so Sean will cuddle you. As I'm about to display on Wednesday, I don't need a degree. When we do our scene from Wicked, I don't need any training.

I'll nail it. That'll be Wednesday. In fact, I might even go off book. I don't even think I'll need the script. Real off book means that you've learnt your lines. That's an actual... I knew that. Not my first time off book, brah.

Sorry. Just saying. I'm on book. I don't know them. I couldn't be further this book is in me alright that's Wednesday everyone we'll see you soon

thanks for listening catch you soon idiot bye is it just me a podcast by a couple of mitches make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app Welcome to A to Debrief. This is our secret segment on the end.

We pretend the show's done, but it's not. We just keep talking shit. A couple of people with ADD having a debrief. That's all it is. That Squishmallow chat felt very AD debrief. Yes, it did, didn't it? The lines are getting a bit blurry. Took a sip of water.

Sorry, I expected Jenna to fill that void, but she stared at me the whole time. We have to say, Mitch, by the way, the news this week that the Bogangate Pub won. What did they win? It was Best Pub? It's the AHA New South Wales Awards. So the pub loci's in New South Wales and they got People's Choice. As in, my people's choice. I was the one leading

the fucking charge, encouraging everyone to vote and everyone got behind it. What was you versus the homophobic pub in Melbourne? In Manly. I would love to see how everyone got behind it. What was you versus the homophobic pub in Melbourne? In Manly. Yeah. I would love to see how many votes each got. It was clearly a landslide win.

Because Bougainvillea Pub would have got like thousands. Tens of thousands. I voted, yeah. Manly would have got like 20. Did I tell you that that place in Manly eventually got back to me? They replied to the email. Well, it made press. It was in the headlines. Well, I found out that because one of our listeners writes for a publication in Perth.

Yeah, we love them. And they DM'd me asking for a comment. And then they said, oh, we've also reached out to the venue for comment. And I got an email reply about half an hour after that. But they left it a week. So they only replied to me because they were spooked by journalists reaching out to them. Of course. What did they say?

So they eventually got back to me. They offered me a free brunch. I said, I'm not coming back, babe. Never. And they were kind of defending themselves by being like, no, we're not homophobic. We had drag queens here once. Oh, come on. They walked by and said, looks nice.

They said, get me the fuck out of this shit hole. That's so funny. We're not homophobic. Here's a free brunch. Slay Queen boots the house down. Sorry you were hate-crimed in our bathroom, sis. Sashay to the hospital. But it wasn't a problem as it turns out because we flogged them.

I knew we would. Yeah, of course you did. Yeah, true. You know, I will say A, congratulations on winning the AHA award, but B, congratulations, Mitch, on giving Fitzy from Fitzy and Whipper his first panic attack. Yeah, well done. Congratulations. What do you mean? Well, Fitzy and Whipper his first panic attack. Yeah, well done. Congratulations.

What do you mean? Well, Fitzy and Whipper, they're a radio duo in Australia for the international listeners on Nova, which is my competitor. And they're lovely guys. I know them. They're very sweet. However, Fitzy was hosting and that event gave him a full blown panic attack. The first he's ever had.

How do you know? He said, and I quote, there were people in the audience that made him feel uncomfortable. I had a panic attack yesterday. It was the Australian Hotels Association New South Wales Awards, and it's a great day. We hosted it last year. It's a brilliant day out. It was at Randwick Racecourse.

Would have been about 1,200 people there, Kate. So we're getting ready for it, and we've got the rundown, and there's 48 awards that you've got to get through. It's a big day. What kind of awards are they handing out? Best Steak Sandwich. Yeah. Hotelier of the Year.

Yeah, Best Metropolitan Hotel, Best Regional Hotel. Oh, lovely. I've always got a little bit nervous talking in front of crowds, right? And my heart rate will elevate, and I'll go, okay, just if I'm prepared, I'm okay. But yesterday there was a moment where I grabbed Whip and I said to him, I'm having a panic attack. I was.

That's so surprising, Fitz, because you talk for a living. Yeah. Like that's what you do every morning and you come in here and you seem super confident. You've always got something to offer and you're great being you. What was different about it or why? I don't know. There were moments where I was looking out into the crowd and looking at certain individuals and I'm going,

oh, my God, that guy's going to slay me when I get on stage. And I hate to say that I have a theory. Was it you that threw off Australia's most beloved AFL-turned-radio broadcaster Fitzgerald Ryan Fitzgerald? Reality show. Reality show. Ex show. Reality show. Ex-reality show. Did you give him a death stare?

How dare you? I did not interact with him at all. Where did you see this? On the Fitzian Whipple with Kate Ritchie on Wednesdays and Fridays, whatever that show is at the moment. He said he had a panic attack because someone in the crowd threw him off. Yes. And I think it was you.

No, we were sitting pretty far away from the table. He's got good eyesight. He's got good eyesight. He's got good eyesight. He's an ex-footy player. Yeah. He was on Big Brother. He was on Big Brother. Well, I'm not accepting responsibility for that.

I had nothing to do with it. I just found it so weird. He's like, I had my first panic attack at an event I hosted yesterday. And then I saw your story saying Fitzy and Whippa are hosting. And it all fell into place. That was on my close friends, you know. Now you make me feel bad because I still have this

loyalty in me to Kiss FM because I used to work here. Of course. I put as a joke to my close friends, which has my friends and former colleagues on there, I put as a joke me going boo! When they announced Fitsy and Whipper coming out now, I feel bad.

It wasn't me. Am I on your close friends? Yeah, you would have seen it. Yeah, you saw it. I also sent it in our group chat, but you famously ignore that. Yeah. I didn't ignore that. That was fucked October. That's true.

I'm a mug member, so I'm okay. Yeah, you're better now. I didn't reply then, correct. Yeah. Well, Mitchell, what do you have to say to Ryan and the Fitsies listening now? The fans of Fitzy? The Fitzies. Well, he sold it on marvelously well because they did a good job.

Yeah. Yeah, it didn't look like he was panicking at all. No, no, he's right. I'm not really going to assume that he listens to this, so I'm not actually going to craft a message for him. Craft a statement. Yes, I don't need to do that. No, I don't think you should.

Sorry about that, Fitz. Yeah. Fitz. I seem to recall that on Big Brother his nickname was Fryzy. When did he become Fitzy? I don't think it was Fryzy. It fucking was. Fryzy?

Yes. Call Chrissy Swan, Jenna. It's her birthday. I'm getting her on the phone. His nickname was Fryzy at the start, and then towards the end of the season, the Big Brother, they started calling him Fitzy. I was like, where'd that come from? Fryzy.

Yeah, I'm not even kidding. Maybe he knew he was going to transition into radio, and he brother, they started calling him Fitzy. I was like, where'd that come from? Fryzy. Yeah, I'm not even kidding. Maybe he knew he was going to transition into radio and he was like, it'll be Fitzy. Yeah, but that makes sense because his last name is Fitzgerald. That makes a lot more sense. Who knows? I don't know where fucking Fryzy came from. Well, congratulations on the win. Yes, thank you.

Yes, well done. Yeah, you did very well. And what have you been up to, Jenna? Anything fun? Yeah, I'm helping organise Jonesy and Amanda's live show. Everyone's doing a live show, aren't they? Yeah, it's pretty full on. What theatre are they doing it in? At the Coliseum. In Athens.

They're flying to Athens. In Mount Truett. Oh, is it? Not quite the same. I was going to say, do they potentially want a venue as old as they were? They listen to this show. Oh, bullshit! Yes, they do. Yeah, bullshit. Who does?

I mean, I'd be flattered if they did, but I don't think it's true. Jonesy listens, does he? On his motorbike with his, what, headphones on? No, when he's paddle boarding. Jesus Christ. You've said some inappropriate things about him. Jonesy? Yes.

No, he had a fucking Robbie Fagenna. Remember that whole era where he was fucking horned up for you? No. I do. Remember? What was that song that was really big? I am woman, I am whatever it was.

That was... You said that he was besotted by Jenna's pussy power. Yeah, and any time she enters the office at 6am in the morning, this would play in his head. I am woman, I am fearless, I am sexy. Slow motion too. Yeah, of course. But Jenna's always covered.

Every inch of her body is covered. There's no tit action at all. There it is. In reality, this is what plays in our head when she walks in. I'd love to see you do a lap dance to this. Oh, my God. She'd have to take off so many layers. First, the corset.

Before what to take off. Then the. First, the corset. There's a lot to take off. Then the livery. My culottes now. The long johns. The chain mail. Now. The shackles. My linen sheath.

My tunic I'm like I'm over it My erection's gone I've still got ten more layers Ten more layers to go It's midwinter Oh dear What would be your lap dance music?

I don't know I've never thought about that To be honest I think I'd do something like this I'd go That could be really fun And I'd like Time to this. I'd go, that could be really fun. And I'd like, time to do mine. You'd do like a daggy dad dance.

I can just picture it. Finger guns. I knew you were going to do the finger guns. I could just sense it. And this is how I'd do it. Ready? On the drum. Oh, my God.

Really slowly pulling my head out of my shirt. With that terrifying grin on your face. Sorry, I'm just smiling. Okay, sorry. Then you'd be like this. No, it's because I'm having a fun time. Anyway, that's my life. I've never given a lap dance.

No one's ever. No, no one's ever asked either. No one's ever. I've received one. Have you? Really? Well, it's like a sensual dance, yeah. Do I want to know?

No, absolutely not. All right. I'll tell you something wild. Go for it. Here's a wild story. What? I had a dream recently. Oh.

Not a great way to start a story. Everyone's already lost interest. No, I'm into it because I know you have wet dreams, so this could go anywhere. Well, I've not had a wet dream since I last spoke about it. Yeah. And it was a dry dream, if you recall correctly. It was actually, yeah, just an internal it. Yeah. And it was a dry dream, if you recall correctly. It was actually, yeah. Just an internal combustion.

Yeah. I had a dream that I had a wet dream and then I woke up and I actually didn't. Wow. God, confusing, isn't it? It's a lot of stranger things. And I was like, thank God. I didn't want to clean it up. Yeah, sure.

Anyway, separately, this is actually speaking of fucking my mate Fitzy and panic attack. Yeah, yeah. So, actually, before I tell you about the dream backstory. Yeah. panic attack yeah yeah so actually before i tell you about the dream backstory yeah i went to the beach with sean recently and the waves were a bit rough that day like they were knocking me over i could not stand up it just kept knocking me over and thrashing me around and i ended up leaving the beach with a really really fast heartbeat tight chest and, I'm feeling a bit panicky after that. That's weird because normally that's kind of fun to me.

And it was fun at the time. But then as I was leaving, I felt really panicky and it was really weird. Anyway, fast forward to my dream. And in the dream. That night? A couple of nights later. Yeah.

You should have said, when? So a couple of nights later, I had a dream where in the dream, I got out of bed to just go to the bathroom, but I could not stand up for the life of me. I just kept falling over. Oh, my. Going in circles, dizzy. And then in the dream, like waves started crashing through the house.

Oh, yeah. And then Sean's theory was maybe the reason you were panicking at the beach is because it reminded you of that same sensation when you had the drink spiked. Oh. Where I was just like, I'm trying my absolute hardest to stay upright, but I've just lost all control, all mobility. And so he was like, maybe the beach reminded you. And then the dream was like, because I woke up from the dream with a fucking panic attack as well. Interesting.

Wow, that's scary. So now the beach has been ruined for me. I was going to say the fucking beach triggered you. It must have. Wow, that's scary. So now the beach has been ruined for me. I was going to say the fucking beach triggered you. It must have. Wow. I don't know if that's true, but it's an interesting theory. I've had a panic attack in my sleep before and I asked my doctor about it. Like I woke up and my heart was racing and I felt so insanely stressed

and then couldn't get back to sleep. Very weird. Yeah, no, I managed to get back to sleep eventually, but I did wake up. As I was waking up, I was kind of like moaning, being like, ah, ah, you know. You're like, you know, the only thing that'll heal me in this situation is seeing my beautiful partner and then he's fucking a squish.

Balls deep in a fucking rat. I was about to say those exact words, balls deep in a rat. Oh, there you go, great minds. He wasn't actually there that night. Will he fuck the back of the rat or the donut that he's holding? Interesting theory.

Yeah, interesting question. I think it would be the donut. Yeah, it would have to be. And he holds a goal. Yeah, no, I'm sure I'd ask him. No more Squishmallow chat, please, for the love of God. Well, I'm actually, I feel like you've been driving their sales. You've been influencing people to buy Squishmallows.

Yeah, you influenced me. I'm anti-influencing. I'm like, nah, fuck those rats. They ruin your life. They're not all rats. I've got a slug and Jenna has a fucking musical theatre major. Oh, because the slug is so much cuter than a rat. A slug.

I didn't know mine was a slug. I've got a pride husky and a cat. That sounds like a furry, Jenna. Yeah. I've got a pride husky. That's like that flag above the Newtown Hotel, the furry flag, which I didn't realise. I thought it was for Venezuela.

I went, oh, God, the World Cup's on. Congrats. Nope, furry flag. You know what else made me jealous recently? Yeah. Like a lot of things have been happening that have made me jealous of Sean. First, the Squishmallow situation. And also my niece, Anna, right, she did a drawing

and it was a drawing of a castle and a couple of stick figures and whatever. And my sister goes, oh, who are these people? And she's like, oh, the whole family are inside. Mummy's the queen. Daddy's the king. And out the front, the knight guarding the castle is Sean. Oh, that's cute. I was like, where am I, bitch?

Where do I fit into this equation? Oh, wait, you weren't even written in. No. Did you check under the bridge? I had no role whatsoever. And no, I fit into this equation Oh wait you weren't even written in No Did you check under the bridge I had no role whatsoever And no I wasn't a troll Fuck you How dare you

You could have been Rapunzel with the hair I would have nailed that actually You would have nailed that right No I wasn't even cast in the castle drawings That's a bit fucking rude That was cute Isn't it Was Sean Chuff to be the

Oh of course Of course he would That's cute. Of course. And I said, by the way, you'd be a shit knight, let's be real. You'd be protecting her. You'd run and hide if there was any threat. He would be terrible.

That's so funny. Sean is so polite. I messaged him the other day, complimented him because he looked hot in his Insta story. I went, you look great in all black. He went, thanks, Mitch, but I should say it's actually a Navy shirt. And I'm like, he's so polite. Oh, he's the best. He corrected me.

Just so, I don't want you... In case Navy you don't enjoy, I want like, he's so polite. Oh, he's the best. He like corrected me. Just so, just so. I don't want you. In case Navy you don't enjoy, I want full transparency. I don't want to mislead you. Yeah, totally. I'm like, no, it doesn't matter, Sean. You look hot. I regard it. Thanks.

Well, Mitch and I had a discussion. Maybe it's a dark green. I'm like, it's all good. It's black. You look hot. You look hot. He's so sweet. Yeah.

Yeah. He neglects my snuggles. Yeah, for a fucking rant. I know. All right. Shall we go? Should I tell you about my date at Wicked next week when we do, on Wednesday, when we do the Wicked chat?

Actually, yeah. Well, you may as well. It's Wicked theme. All encompassing Wicked chat. Yeah, Wicked theme. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then we can call the episode. I can't wait for that.

I wasn't joking when I said this is the most exciting idea you've ever pitched to me. And I actually pitched it to you like the night of. Oh, no, you messaged me the next day or something saying how was Wicked. And I think I said I loved it. Oh, no, I had notes. I was like, Elfie was shocking, et cetera, et cetera. I messaged Glenda and said you were so phenomenal. Did you?

Yeah. Did she reply? Yes. Saying what? God bless. Thanks. You know that her. Did she reply? Yes. Saying what? God bless. Thanks. You know that her sister is her understudy. What?

Wouldn't you be spewing? No, you'd be so thrilled. That's incredible. No, her sister had already played Glinda on like the Gold Coast version of Wicked. Yeah. They were like, yeah, you're good enough for Gold Coast, but your sister's getting Sydney. That's fucking funny. Wait, I have an idea.

Should we audition next week for our understudy? What? We should have understudies for you and me and or Jenna. Oh. Well, don't I already have one? Louis Hanson. No. He didn't audition.

That's true. He was offer only. We need people that can play us perfectly. Well, we've done this before, asked people to do a Mitchell Coons impression. No one even tried. No one can. And people do Mitch Durie impressions,

they just laugh loudly and clap their hands. Yeah. I think we should find our understudies. All right. Well, I think it'd be easier to cast for you. I don't think so. It's a really unique sort of magic. Yeah, it's more like you're more impressionable though.

No, Fiyero. Fiyero. Yay! She's the love interest in our love triangle. Yeah. We're fighting over you. Yep. A bit weird that they're fighting.

And Glinda and the Witch, they're not even sisters. Not Glinda. It's Glinda. Glindy. Glinda. All right. Well, that's Wednesday. Thanks for listening, guys.
