People do some weird shit.
A surge in young people inhaling the gas from cooking canisters known as mains to get high.
Some things make more sense than others.
So I've done everything for you. I've put my career on hold.
I could have been anything if I'd had the talent.
Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for.
This is leadership.
I think he's one of the greatest leaders we've ever had.
Do you?
Yeah.
Well, good, I hope.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Should one of us be Mitch and the other be Mitchell just to make things easier?
You're Mitch.
I only call you Mitchell when you're being annoying.
You always call me Mitchell.
Oh.
Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coon.
Jesus Christ, we're back again.
Don't you use the Lord's name in vain right off the bat.
Jesus H. Christ, what was his middle name?
I don't know.
It was Jorge.
Was it?
No, I don't know.
You just made that up, didn't you?
From Bethlehem, probably was something like that.
Who knows?
That was really true.
Jenna, could you Google that?
Could you put on your producer boots and Google what Jesus' middle name was?
No, I don't feel like being a producer today.
We pay you to produce.
Yeah, I know.
You know what?
I bought you a $90 fish plus tank and filtration system.
You can goddamn Google Jesus Christ's middle name.
Yeah, get back to us with that.
Sorry to raise my temper on episode number 17?
Probably.
Are you shocked that we made it this far?
Let's be real.
Knowing my track record with pulling out into things.
Well, when you think about it, you do three hours of live radio per day.
Yes.
We only do a one hour show approximately.
So we've done 17 hours.
If you do...
Jenna!
What?
Do the maths.
That's only...
That's not even like...
That's like a week or so's work for you.
It's nothing really when you think about it.
Yeah, very true actually.
It felt like a lot more.
I am a broadcaster.
Hey, fun fact.
By the time this episode is released, the Sydney
gay and lesbian Mardi Gras will have
been. It will have been and gone. My prediction
is that you will
go home by 10pm. You won't bother
going out and enjoying it. I've already planned that.
There we go. I'm watching Parasite that night.
I've got tickets at the Dendy. Really?
Yeah. I hate parties. Do you really night. I've got tickets at the Dendy. What? Really? Yeah. I hate parties.
Do you really think you're going to get to the Dendy on time from Oxford Street?
It's super packed and super busy.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Yeah, you're not going to.
I just don't think you're going to make it.
You're not great at time estimation.
No.
Also, I'm wearing the giant chicken suit, the cash cock, which is the mascot of the radio
station we work at.
Oh, really?
Again?
Yeah.
Well, I did it last year and they sequined the Cash Cock suit.
Yeah, but they were like sequins the size of CDs.
They didn't tell me that.
They were CDs the size of a vintage LP.
Yeah.
And then they were so heavy, the suit weighed 18 kilos.
And you weigh...
Well, substantially more.
Excess baggage plus you.
Oh, yeah.
It's a lot.
It's bad.
It's a lot to commit to.
Anyway, they were like, let's wear the same suit in 2020.
Same suit doesn't fit.
Oh, Mitch.
It doesn't even come close.
It doesn't even fit in the thighs.
Well, blessing in disguise.
You don't have to wear that anymore.
No, I do.
They're spray painting the other one.
They got me a big one and they spray painted it.
Are you on the float this year?
You were last year.
I was, yeah.
And I am this year.
I bloody hope I am.
I'm not walking.
I think you might be.
How would you know? I actually, I don't know. I have a feeling am. I'm not walking. I think you might be. How would you know?
I actually, I don't know.
I have a feeling you're not on there.
No offence.
But I'm not on there either, so you'll be able to wander and dance with me.
Have you learnt the Corrie?
Talent don't learn Corrie.
I'm so sorry then.
I don't have to dance.
I'm going to chicken soup.
I may not be talent, but I have talent.
You should see me dance.
I'm coming off as very obnoxious this episode.
I don't like it.
Jenna, did you get those facts?
Yes.
What did we ask again?
I got this Jesus.
Jesus' middle name.
Yep, what is it?
Oh.
Okay, the H in Jesus, H Christ, comes from a monogram made of the first three letters
of the Greek name for Jesus.
It's more boring than I thought.
I thought.
I've not had the light bulb moment where I'm like, oh yeah, that makes sense.
But his middle name is H, I was right.
Yes, it's correct.
Just H.
Yes.
All right.
What was Mitch's question?
It was some beret.
It was a maths question and I ignored it.
I said we've done 17 hours of podcasts.
How much equivalent in like a week is that radio for you?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
You talk for 17 seconds at a time.
Also, this episode is going to be more than an hour on this track.
We're going very, very slowly.
Yeah. Can I tell you something? Matty, you talk for 70 seconds at a time. Also, this episode is going to be more than an hour on this track. We're going very, very slowly.
Yeah.
Can I tell you something?
I think this episode of our podcast is going to be the first ever episode that we upload completely unedited.
You know how I was bitching last week about my RSI and my wrist?
I've been bitching all week about it.
I might want to get lunch.
It can't be sushi.
I can't pick up the little choppy stickers.
Well, last week I was laughing about it.
I mean, like, oh, yeah, it'll go away.
It's a whole thing now.
I'm seeing a physiotherapist and I can't edit.
I know.
Multiple.
But, yeah, I can't edit.
So this show is just going to have to go up completely unedited.
Really?
I don't do much editing to it,
so just be mindful that if you say something dumb,
it's going to say in there.
I promise I won't.
I won't bring up the time that you slept with Sam Smith.
That didn't happen.
You can't delete it now, girls!
That did not happen.
It's official.
It's on the record.
I would be happy for that to go on record if it were true,
but it's not.
What about the time that Jenna slept with Michael Bublé?
Jenna.
You didn't.
It's true.
Oh, none of you want to get that off the record.
Yeah, can you at least say something offensive?
Anyway, I can't cut this out.
It's rambling on way too long.
Okay, sorry.
We'll wrap it up.
I've got a very special guest on this show from my show.
Oh, yeah.
I actually requested this one.
Conan Gray, Jenna.
You know him.
Maniac.
Yes, he sings that song Maniac. this one. Conan Gray, Jenna. You know him. Maniac. Yes, he sings that song, Maniac.
This one.
I've had it on repeat.
Can I just tell you that I feel like he's really growing on me.
He's becoming one of my new favourites.
And you spoke to him.
I did.
For your radio show.
And I was like, I don't think I've heard him speak, firstly.
I haven't listened to any interviews.
So I really want to hear this.
We'll play it out later on.
He's very sweet. and there is a story.
He's young, right?
Yeah, he's like 21, like a little kid.
And there is a story.
Before I met him, I got a text that was like,
you can't say this in the interview.
What was it?
I'll tell you later.
You're going to have to wait and see.
Oh, no.
I got charged.
Donated that one out.
Yeah, no, I won't be.
I'll be leaving that.
Also, you might have seen in the news last week, guys,
a very iconic Australian passed away.
Turns out our Jenna knew them.
You're kidding.
So we'll be talking a little bit more about that later on as well, right?
We will.
Did you know Steve Irwin?
That didn't happen in the news last week.
Yeah, I couldn't think of an Aussie who died last week.
Plus, if it's your first time listening,
we start the show the same way every single week.
It's the name of the show. It's just me. I'm here. I'm Mitch. This is Mitch over here time listening, we start the show the same way every single week. It's the name of the show, Is It Just Me?
I'm here.
I'm Mitch.
This is Mitch over here.
Yes, we do one each.
We do one each.
It's an Is It Just Me?
It's about something.
No, that's not.
You're giving me a run sheet.
And I was just about to say something else.
And that's not right.
Well, I guess that's just going to have to say in the podcast.
That's because that was me.
I was conscious of that.
Okay.
It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
You say that every week.
Do you really have to keep reading it off the ship?
Yeah, I don't remember it.
Literally right now, something that we hate.
Notice, hate or appreciate.
Or something that I've ate.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Yeah, but look, I've got one this week that is TV related
and might get you a little bit, might get things moving.
You know what I mean?
It's a bit sexual.
Really?
Mine is TV related too.
Could this be the week that we accidentally clash?
Oh my God.
Maybe if we had the same one.
You go first.
Mine's about something that happened on Dancing with the Stars, actually.
Oh God, I don't watch that show.
Okay.
Well, I don't think you're going to like this.
Mine's cartoon animated.
Really?
Yeah, I don't think you're going to like it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, let's jump into mine first and then we'll do yours after.
This is the first issue of the show.
Is it just me or...
Hang on, stop.
Sorry, sorry.
This is very unprofessional of me.
Was it the volume?
I feel like now is a good time to tell you that every week on this show,
I do have to make the is it just me sound effect louder
because you play it so fucking quiet, dude.
It's like a mosquito.
No, no, no.
So pump.
I can't edit this week. Crank that go is it just me there we go is it just me could some tv show
characters get it like real like get it you know what i mean like some no some TV show characters hot? Oh.
Okay, well, obviously, yes.
Are you talking about animated ones?
Animated.
I'm talking about cartoons. Because TV show characters, yeah.
TV show characters, no, no, no.
Like, you know, fucking Modern Family, no.
Those actors, that's all I can think of.
I don't know why you're finding...
Who are you finding hot in that, Phil?
This is strictly animation.
So I'll tell you where this stemmed from.
I was at home, and I don't start work till midnight
and I often get the Dr. Phil rerun,
then the Ellen show in the middle of the day.
It's fantastic.
It reminds me of when I chucked sickies from school.
I have a sickie every day.
And they don't have Ready Steady Cook on anymore,
which is an absolute travesty.
But I went to Cartoon Network and I watched Danny Phantom.
Do you remember Danny Phantom?
Danny Phantom. Let me do Danny Phantom? Danny Phantom.
Yes.
I've got the audio of the intro.
Tell me if this rings any bells.
Oh, yes.
Danny Phantom.
I remember this.
Ready?
Wait.
Danny Phantom could get it.
You think?
They did just say his age.
They literally just said Danny Phantom is 14.
Not what I meant.
But he is just a good-looking cartoon character.
That was very unfortunate, and I'm sorry I can't edit it,
but you were like, oh, Danny Phantom would get it.
And then it goes, Danny's 14.
Wow.
Okay.
I didn't pre-listen to the intro.
Hold on.
Johnny Danny Phantom, he was just 14.
Shit.
You know what?
He could, but he shan't be getting it.
Yeah, he won't be getting anything.
Until he's of age.
Until he's legal.
What about this guy?
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Do you know this?
He's got a blast.
Jimmy Neutron.
Jimmy Neutron.
Oh.
You think Jimmy, again, he's a little bit childish.
I'm not talking about Jimmy.
Jimmy's dad.
Oh.
Yeah, Jimmy's dad could get it.
Neutron's dad.
He's doing a Google.
Google Jimmy Neutron's dad.
Or the dog is Jimmy Neutron.
Oh, God, he's got a very big nose.
He does.
He's very...
Wow.
Yeah, but he seems nice.
Oh, him.
I don't think he could get it at all.
No.
Hugh Neutron.
No.
Hugh Neutron.
I've got one that I reckon you'll like, Mitch.
Ready?
Tell me if you remember this.
Sugar.
Spice.
The best.
And everything nice.
These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl.
Gemma.
You know this?
Come on.
It's iconic.
Maybe it's us talking over it.
Thus the Powerpuff Girls were born.
Oh, yeah. The Powerpuff Girls were no good. No, the dad in the Powerpuff Girls were born.
Oh, yeah, the Powerpuff Girls are no good.
No, no, no, no.
The dad in the Powerpuff Girls.
Google him.
He's only ever in black and white.
That is so true.
And I think you only ever see his feet.
Have you got a throbby for him, Jenna?
Yes, I do.
He's a good-looking gentleman.
Oh, he's... I am a fan of a square jaw.
Look at that.
Wow.
Yeah, he's chiseled.
I picked him for you.
He doesn't do anything for me. But I had a feeling you could. I don't know if square jaw. Look at that. Wow. Yeah, he's chiseled. I picked him for you. He doesn't do anything for me.
But I had a feeling you could.
I don't know if I'd be interested in that.
Really?
But, you know, I do see where you're coming from.
Sometimes cartoon characters are capable of conjuring up, you know,
a little bit of interest.
Yes.
Put it that way.
You know that character in Futurama?
Oh.
Is it Zach Branigan?
It's something like, I can't remember.
Zach Branigan, yes!
He always wore that really short thing.
Short, yeah.
And yeah, he wore like a short dress.
Yeah.
Yeah, oh my God.
I used to think about that.
Let me find Zach Branigan.
I remember Zach Branigan.
Also, while we're on the topic,
Kronk from Emperor's New Groove
and Kuzco, to be perfectly honest,
in the llama form, I don't care.
Kronk was cute.
Oh God, no, no. Way too llama form, I don't care. Kronk was cute. Oh, God, no.
Way too buff for me, no.
No.
I see your point about cartoon characters being attractive,
and I raise you cartoon animals.
Oh, hold on.
So I wouldn't go there, obviously,
but I really do think that Kovu from The Lion King 2
has big dick energy.
Isn't that the kid lion?
No, he grows up.
Does he?
Starts porking Kiara.
Ew.
It's fine.
Yuck.
No dramas.
Lion sex is very odd.
It doesn't ever seem consensual.
The big one always just jumps on the poor girl and scalls and just starts going at her.
Do you ever think about the fact that apparently, is it dolphins?
They're the only other species that have sex for pleasure.
I'm like, what are the others doing?
They sound like they fucking love it too.
Jenna, do a dolphin impression, please.
Goodness me!
I almost saw your blowhole.
That was awful!
I know what you mean though. Like, dolphins...
Imagine dolphins just having sex.
Is it dolphins that have sex for pleasure?
I'm pretty sure it's dolphins. There's another animal too.
I think there's a couple.
I don't know.
I'm going off something I probably read in a fantail packet.
In a fantail packet.
Underneath a Lipton juice tin.
Something like that.
Bloody hell.
Yeah, any other character?
Oh, the Angry Beavers could get it too.
Anyone remember the Angry Beavers?
Yes, I remember.
Here we go.
Why are people and dolphins the only mammals that have sex for pleasure?
What's the answer?
Dolphin clitoris.
Oh, I'm not going down that part.
I don't want to know about that.
Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
Good for you, dolphins.
If you get that root, shove that bottlenose in that dolphin hole.
I reckon dolphins are getting more than me just currently.
I agree.
All right.
Well, into your region, Mitch.
Yes, let's get into mine.
Is it just me, shall we?
Off you go.
Extra volume, of course.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Sorry.
That hurt my ears.
And you can't hit it.
Oh, God.
Do you know what that was?
A little quiz.
It was Lizzo.
Was it?
Yeah.
Yes.
Done.
All right.
Oh, this is pathetic.
Let's go into your region full volume.
Is it just me or?
Do you find it really frustrating when you hear a song or like a piece of music in a TV show or movie and you're like, God, where have I heard that before?
Or vice versa.
You hear a piece of music and you're like, that's from a movie, that's from a show, and you cannot figure out where you recognise it from.
It's like the worst.
Always happens.
It stays in your mind for days.
Jenna and I were talking about this the other day
because she was watching Dancing with the Stars.
Of course you watched Dancing with the Stars.
Hosted by Amanda Keller.
Oh, what, do you text her while she's on?
Going well, Amanda, see you in the morning.
Who is this?
How did you get my number?
Bet you do.
But she was telling me, Jenna, that she heard a piece of music
on Dancing With The Stars that sounded awfully familiar.
Really?
She brought it with her.
This is Dancing With The Stars live from Melbourne.
Fair to say, Grant, it's been a tough week for comedian Eve Kavali.
So Jive is all about energy, feel good.
We're going to double the effort.
Ed has come back into rehearsals with a vengeance.
Jive is fast, it's compact.
One, two, three.
It requires a lot of energy, a lot of endurance.
Down, down.
But in the end, it's just a fun dance.
You're fucking kidding me.
I never kid, Mitch.
Never.
That's our intro music.
It is our intro music.
From our show opener.
Precisely.
Yes.
I just worry that it makes people think that we just ripped some royalty-free bullshit
on the internet that anyone can access.
No, no.
An embarrassing amount of thought went into the music that we played.
No, you're right, because I remember when it happened.
We actually had a couple of weeks delay launch because we couldn't find the right music.
And I understand how they got there,
because the name of that track is Jumping Bean Jive.
So they would have just typed in jive,
because he was doing the jive that week, and they found that.
Jumping Bean Jive.
But we, do you remember, we were coming up with the most bizarre
combination of niche words to find the exact sound we wanted.
We ended up going with retro electro swing.
Yeah, we did.
We typed that in and we just downloaded all the backing tracks that came up under that
search.
Yes, our genre is just that, retro electro swing.
So we thought we were being oddly specific.
All they typed in was jive.
And now they're using our theme music.
Hey, Lucy, what dance is that Ed doing this week?
He's jiving.
All right.
J-I-V-E.
This'll do.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
It's not even jivey.
It's this fucking show.
Do you know that one of our backing tracks that we use quite often,
it's actually the very first backing track that kicks in when you hit the opener.
Yeah.
It actually has lyrics.
You're kidding.
But we just play the instrumental version.
Yeah, well, okay.
Well, we're going unedited this week, so this is a bit unprofesh,
but we're just going to put the mic to my laptop.
Okay, go for it.
I'll turn everything down.
Everybody here is a part of my crew.
We're going to have fun till the sun comes up.
And when it goes back down, we're going to have a more time.
It's Zumba.
Very.
It sounds like that song they released for the African Olympics.
You know, like, Shikiri Wafrika.
I'm glad you cut those lyrics out.
Okay, so we have to make a round table decision now.
Are we going to abandon this music now that Ed Cavalli has made it inherently less cool?
Or are we just going to carry on with all our existing backing tracks?
I think it's important to note that that performance was the last one of the night.
So by that point.
Viewers shit was down.
Yes.
Also, not many people are watching that television program.
It's tanking in the ratings.
Oh, no, no.
It's going pretty well, actually.
Because of Amanda Keller.
No, it's actually going pretty well.
Her haircut's just too harsh.
No.
No.
Jenna won't have it.
I'm going to say, yes, we keep it.
We don't bow down to corporate pharma, big pharma.
Pharma?
I don't know.
I've heard people say it in conspiracy movies.
I'm not bowing down to the man.
I shan't be bowing down to the man or the woman.
We're not changing for Ed Covelly, whose breakfast show was cancelled.
That was with Hughsey.
Imagine that.
Horrendous.
No, they're still on.
Are they really?
Yeah.
Not for long.
Wow.
You're just obliged to Are they really? Yeah. Not for long. Wow.
You're just obliged to slag off the competition.
Like, Yuzi is our competition.
He is.
He works for a different network.
Oh, I think that's for this podcast.
No, I meant for your livelihood, dickhead.
Oh, sorry.
You can follow the show online.
Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead.
We also have, as well as Couple of Mitches on all socials,
a Facebook group that you need to answer a very top secret question.
Only our most valued listeners will know the answer.
Sorry, the whole show I was just sitting on something
and I thought it was my wallet.
And it was digging and it was a cheese snack.
Sorry.
I was like, well, I thought I took my wallet out.
How long has that fucking snack been in your back pocket?
That's disgusting.
Well, the cheese is warm.
Where's the use by date?
Here we go.
Best before the 20th of the 4th.
I'll turn it down.
That's fine.
Sorry, very loud.
Okay.
Can I have it?
I'm fucking starving.
If it's warm, she...
You know what?
It's your funeral.
I don't give a shit.
And the cheese has got all sweat on it
like it's been, my butt's been hitting it.
Sorry, what were you talking about?
I don't know. Facebook group, you can join.
I had been accepting people
without even reading and vetting their answers.
We can't say too much about
what the question is. Of course, of course.
But I'm talking about...
Of course. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Anyway, you might have seen in the news last week, guys,
that a very iconic Australian
unfortunately passed away. June
Daly Watkins. Does that name ring a bell,
Mitch? It does, actually, because my mum wanted
to send my sister there. Really? Because my
sister was a right bitch for a period. Well,
there you go. She's apparently an
etiquette expert. That was
her craft.
When I heard that June Daly Watkins passed away, I thought,
God, I know that name from somewhere. Didn't realise who she was or what she did. Did a bit
of research and this is what I found. To have a perfect life, to know all the right things to do
is so important. I want to transform them. So many would come to me and say, how do you walk like that?
How do you do this?
And that's when my mother suggested I should start the School of Personal Development.
The students learn to talk, walk and dine the Dally way.
You place your spoon there, right there at six o'clock.
Now, guess who
went to the June
Daly Watkins School of
Personal Development?
It was you, wasn't it? No, it's for girls.
Bloody Jenna. I thought maybe she saw
your hair and thought, I can help that thing.
You went?
Yes, I did. Oh, Jenna, that explains
a lot. Doesn't it just?
As soon as I saw some Facebook post, Jenna was quite saddened by the news because she
had quite an impact, right?
That is correct.
You said that you wouldn't have gotten through HSC if it weren't for old mate June.
Why is that?
Yes.
A big project I did in year 12 required me to interview somebody.
Yeah.
And it was June Daly Watkins.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, you interviewed her.
Yes, I interviewed her.
Wow.
And I got a high distinction.
Well done, Jenna.
Did you go to her castle or wherever I'm assuming she lived?
No, I went to the school.
Oh, so you didn't go to her house.
I thought maybe you went to her house.
So were you a student there?
I was a student there.
And then while you were there, you said,
Yo, can I use you for my assignment?
A year later.
Fun.
She wouldn't have said, yo, Mitchell.
Yo, June D.
Oh, she would have hated that.
Let me talk to you for my HSC.
Young girl.
How dare you.
Pop off that equestrian horse.
Okay.
Come here and talk to me.
Sorry.
Actually, it makes plenty of sense because whenever I go out for dinner with you, you
pull out a dessert spoon out of your pocket.
You're like, here's my baby spoon.
Here's my teaspoon.
You have everything organized.
She's very polite, our Jenna, isn't she?
She's well managed.
She's a filthy bitch deep down.
She is.
But she's just had the right training.
And I was just like, I cannot believe that Jenna did this.
What?
How long ago was this?
This was in 2009.
Okay, so we're going back a while.
What things did she teach you that you've gone, well, that's bullshit.
I'm not doing that.
And what things have stuck teach you that you've gone, well, that's bullshit. I'm not doing that. And what things have stuck
with you? Okay, so
first of all, let's
start with the stance. It's called
the Dally stance. Hold on, I need to make this official.
Wait, let me just... Sorry, Mitch, you're going to have to
edit, but...
This is so disrespectful.
I just think it'd set
the tone. Alright, Jenna. This is what she listens
to on her UiBoo. Oh, she did.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, Jenna.
How dare you?
Rude.
Anyway, it's called the Dally Stance.
What is?
It is how you're supposed to essentially stand.
Okay, show us.
Okay.
Are we ready?
Yeah.
So what I'm going to demonstrate is the Dallyi stance where one foot goes in front of the other.
Oh, my God.
Who could be bothered thinking about this much?
Sorry, my shoelaces are undone.
Oh, June is rolling in her grave.
She'd be in the morgue still, don't she?
Sorry.
Okay, that's rude.
Sorry, it is.
Oh, God.
Oh, it's like a heel.
She's got, like, one knee up like she's on a red carpet.
Yes. Very Angelina Jolie. like she's on a red carpet. Yeah.
Yes.
Very Angelina Jolie.
And that's the deli stance.
And when are you supposed to do that?
Just in the elevator?
Like, when?
Or just when you're not moving?
At the urinal?
Pretty much when you're not moving.
Oh, God, that's a lot.
Yeah, so it's supposed to become like second nature.
God.
All right, so it's almost like a half curtsy.
You know what you get a curtsy?
This is definitely, this is tailored for women, right?
Yes.
Good, because if I stood like that, I'd be gay bashed for sure.
You'd be coward punching it hard, mate.
Okay.
And rightly so.
Carry on, Jenna.
I agree.
All right, next one.
Okay.
So you know how there's the misconception that women should cross their legs?
Like that's supposed to be polite and everything.
Yeah.
Miss Dally said, no, do not do that.
Excuse me, it's Dally Hype and Watkins.
No, it's Miss Dally.
That's how she wanted us to refer to her.
Oh, okay.
No, she was adopted.
Oh, wow.
Anyway, sorry.
You're not meant to cross your legs.
No, instead.
I've got my legs crossed right now.
Instead, it's like this.
You twist your legs a bit.
Oh, like a school photo.
Let me try that.
Like you're in the front row.
You put two little fists on your knees.
Yeah, you've got your knees parallel to each other
and then you just put them a little bit to the right or left.
Just a little twist.
Right or left?
She didn't specify.
I think it's whatever she feels.
Oh, she can't half-ass these things.
Don't be rude.
June.
This definitely can't be for men because my testicles are being squashed.
Do you know what's weird?
Could I have said that in the chat?
Could I have gone, Dally?
Miss Dally.
Sorry.
How would I have addressed her?
Miss Dally.
You be Dally and I'll be Mitchell.
It's Miss Dally.
Oh, you be Miss Dally Mitchell.
Miss Dally Miss Dally
My wing knuckers are being squashed by my thighs
In this position
What shall I do
She would have been disgusted by your language
Sorry what were you saying
Here's an is it just me on the fly
I've never had that problem
Like if people kick me in the gonads
It's an obvious problem
But I can close my legs as tightly as I can possibly make them,
and it's not a problem.
See, I think I have massive bones.
Oh, God.
I've been told.
Look, I don't want to go TMI.
Mine aren't exactly small, but I don't.
It's fine.
I can cross my legs and they don't get jammed.
Like two large boiled eggs?
Oh, Miss Dally would be disgusted.
Yeah, sorry.
We can't talk about testicles in the middle of our ode to Gene Dally Watkins.
What else did she teach you?
Yeah, third rule.
Okay, another major rule of hers was no swearing.
Oh, yeah.
So both of you fail.
Yeah, we're both out of the course.
I'm going to send her an air check.
Oh, she's dead.
I was going to say an air check of when you swore on this show.
You dropped the C-bomb.
You dropped the C-bomb.
Yes, I know.
I remember that vividly.
Yep, I accept that.
She was still around too when that happened.
What was her reasoning for not swearing?
Because sometimes it's necessary.
Well, her reason was mainly for females.
So I don't know of your male swearing.
Okay.
But I assume it would be similar.
Well, I watched an interview with Julie Andrews on Ellen
and she revealed her favourite swear word.
If Julie Andrews and Mary fucking Poppins can swear, anything goes.
What was her favourite swear word?
Penny Fartham.
Well, ironically, they beeped it out, so I don't know.
But the point is, Julie Andrews swears.
Yes, but Julie Andrews isn't Miss Dally.
Correct.
How dare she?
She's more than Miss Dally.
Oh, how dare you?
Miss Dally's just died.
I'll fucking go, yeah.
Okay, let's go. Jenna. Miss Dally's just died. I'll fucking go, yeah. Okay, let's go.
Jenna.
Miss Dally.
Your legs just spread.
Do not.
I saw them spread.
They're akimbo, you grot.
There was a 30 centimetre gap there.
It's true.
Okay, next one.
Do you not wear logos and writing on your tops?
First of all, I am wearing that because it's Mitchell's jumper.
Oh, hang on, hang on.
You put it on, Jenna.
Lift that jumper.
What's the shirt underneath?
Yeah, lift that jumper.
Hold on, let me put on my glasses.
I am wearing a brand underneath.
I failed that.
Lift it up now.
Go.
Oh, Jenna.
Sorry, Miss Sally.
You're an embarrassment.
There's so much text.
And it's a rainbow flag too.
I'm sure she would have hated that.
She was actually really accepting of the LGBTQ community.
No, I take that back.
Yes, very accepting.
Did she tell you that?
Yes.
Okay, good to know.
I hope her legs were together.
Next one.
Yep.
Moisturising the elbows.
You always have to have moisturised elbows.
I do agree with that.
I thought she was against it.
No, hey, Dally, I agree.
Miss Dally?
Miss Dally?
Mine sounds like a cheese grater.
Ready?
Listen.
Mine are very dry.
Try and grate the cheese that you've found in your back pocket.
On my elbow?
Actually, don't do that.
That's foul.
I'm not doing that.
I want to eat this later.
We can't do gross shit in our ode to June.
Very true.
We can't edit any of this.
Don't say, fuck, We've failed all the tests.
My testicles are in pain and we just said fuck.
I've got NYC
on this bloody singlet. I've got texts
and you're wearing my jumper with texts on it.
She would hate me.
Yeah, she would.
She would fucking absolutely despise me.
Yeah, she really would.
Is there anything else?
Oh, I just thought of one. Long hair on males.
No, no, no.
When did she say that?
What was her beef with that?
Oh, it just is not appealing, according to her.
Well, I'm not trying to get...
I'm not trying to pork you, no offence, June.
I don't give a fuck if you don't find me appealing.
Excuse me?
Disrespect?
Dead bitch.
Don't you dare.
Rude.
Dead bitch.
Okay, there is a line between good etiquette And just being straight up
Judgmental
That one I just think is rude
Yes but you know
She's
She was
92
Fucking hell
Okay
She was from a different time
Anyway
Was there ever
Sorry did Dally
Miss Dally
Miss Dally
Ever have like
Someone she just couldn't crack
You know what I mean
Like did she have
Like Bertruth
Who
There was one girl in my class.
Her name was Margot.
Oh, Margot.
Margot Robbie.
Uh-huh.
Look at her now.
I've heard that Margot was a rat of a thing.
Fuck.
She was the eldest of us all.
Was she?
So she was, like, 18.
Yeah.
And she smoked.
Miss Dally is very against smoking.
That's a cardinal sin. No smoking.
No, no, no.
You're kidding. Anyway, Margot
would go on her lunch breaks and smoke
and Miss Dally
couldn't handle it.
I can't believe people sign up
to go see this woman and tell you how gross
you are. Like, why? No, she doesn't.
She's actually really, really nice.
Was really nice. Yeah, past tense.
Also, Margot's alive and Dally's dead
so who won there? Let's be real.
You're listening to Is It
Just Me?
A podcast by a couple of
Mitches. No, veil mass
Dally. Why did your mum want your sister to go
see her? Because my little sister was a
right little pig. She was
awful. My little sister not only was a heifer at the age of eight. Which sister? Becky right little pig. She was awful. My little sister
not only was a heifer at the age of eight. Which sister?
Becky. Becky. Becky. The eldest.
And she's a cop now, so it all works out.
But she was just
rude. I remember I was in the car
once. We'd just picked Becky up from dancing. She was
woeful at it too. Almost broke the stage in the
Demountable. And
she did. And
the teacher actually came out.
She's like, I think Becky needs to just stop doing tap
because there's a lot of foot movements.
Maybe she should just do yoga.
Cherries don't tap.
No, we don't.
And I remember we got back and Becky was in a foul mood
and mum went, you know, how was dancing?
And she went, I hate you and I hate my life.
And my mum cried for the first time ever.
And then she said, I'm going to send you to June Daly.
And that was my mum's threat growing up was, I'll send you to June Daly.
Maybe that's where I recognise the name from.
Like, I've just heard it be threatened.
As a threat, yeah.
My threat was Boys Town.
Did you ever get threatened with Boys Town?
No, what for the love of God?
Boys Town is...
Isn't that horrific?
Yeah, it's like an old school for naughty boys.
And they'd send you there and you'd get spanked.
In my head, it was like, you know, Azkaban in Harry Potter.
But it was down the south coast. And my grandma used to live down the south coast. And we'd drive past Boysed. In my head it was like Azkaban in Harry Potter but it was down the south coast
and my grandma used to live down the south coast and we'd
drive past Boys Town and we'd be driving
and my dad would go, if you Mitchell
say something naughty one
more time, that's where you'll end up. And I could
see it and I was terrified of Boys Town.
Maybe I should go there and just
be a total pest on purpose.
I'll be undercover. Oh, the irony of the two of us
is that we'd love Boys Town.
You wouldn't mind a visit?
Especially this last weekend.
Actually, I think I've been.
I do.
Now, look, before we go, I wanted to hear your chat with Conan Gray
because he's on my radar.
I'm liking his new song, Maniac.
There's a couple of other songs that he's done.
His debut album comes out in March this year.
Yeah, keep going, yes.
So I'm like, usually someone has to get a couple of albums
under their belt before I give a shit.
Yeah.
This is one of the first times that I've actually given a shit
about a new artist.
I agree.
I like you.
I like that song.
I like your vibe.
But I've never actually heard him speak or like I've never
watched an interview.
I hadn't until I did my research for the interview and yeah, anyway, it was a great chat.
We actually got on like a house on fire and at the end he was like, we should hang out
in real life and we haven't spoken since.
They all say that.
He did follow me on Instagram though, so we're good pals.
He followed you on Instagram?
He did follow me on Instagram, yeah.
And we DM'd, I said thanks for the chat.
Here's something that'll make you jealous.
Yeah.
You know how you love that morning show on Channel 7?
Yeah.
Kylie Gillies followed me on Instagram.
You're all fucking kidding.
No, I never kid.
I love Kylie Gillies.
We've been over this.
Kylie Gillies is my favourite announcer in the world.
Her and Natalie Barth.
Oh, I love Natalie.
She cried on the weekend on TV.
Yes, that's true.
I know.
She saw the ratings.
Oh, it was awful.
No, actually, they're number one.
They are in.
They're doing fine.
This is me and Kynan Gray.
Superstar of the world. Ready to
roll it?
Mitch till midnight.
Kiss night. Thank you for coming on.
I appreciate it. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for letting me sneak backstage. So we are
where your dressing room's like next door. We're in like a
little annex. Yeah, we're in the closet.
We are in the closet at the Metro Theatre.
How do you feel being in Australia?
Oh, I'm so stoked.
I've wanted to come to Australia since I was really little because I really wanted to be
a biology teacher as a kid.
Oh, okay.
And the ecosystem here is unlike anywhere else in the world, and so I really thought
that I would just move to Australia and become a biologist, but instead I became a singer,
so arguably a failure on my part. Have you had any experiencesologist. But instead I became a singer. So arguably
a failure on my part.
Have you had any experiences with the animals? There's a lot. The koalas in the rooms?
There was a spider in my hotel room.
They're big, aren't they?
I mean, he was a buddy, you know? I was like, yeah, sure. You can chill while I'm taking
a bath.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, like hang out, you know, whatever. I'm naked, but whatever.
He gets a spider. And eyes. He's disorientated. Doesn't know what he's seeing.
Yeah, he couldn't see. It was fine.
But you are a singer, right?
Not a biologist.
You also left high school, right?
No, I dropped out of college.
Okay, you dropped out of college.
I was very good in high school, though.
I worked really, really hard,
and I got into UCLA with a scholarship.
And then immediately after getting into UCLA,
working so hard to get into school,
I dropped out after literally a month
because i got
signed i signed a record deal and then just like started touring holy shit i did exactly the same
i got a semester in and funny story i was at like a campus obviously you know you wanted to be a
biologist australian is like rainforest and dense bush yeah my university was in the middle of the
bush nice and we had all these goose like geese running around the campus and we had a subway
on campus because we're in the middle of nowhere geese, running around the campus and we had a subway on campus
because we were in
the middle of nowhere
and I was hating the
degree and I had a
foot long Italian BMT
and I sat out on the
table and I had it all
there and no word of
a lie, this fucking
goose ran up to the
table, grabbed the
subway paper and just
pulled the foot long.
Geese are mean.
Geese are mean, dude.
And then he ate the
foot long and I
deferred that day
i'm like fuck it i'm dropping out how are you supposed to recover from that exactly right you're
supposed to get a degree while you're dealing with therapy afterwards thank you thank you but
obviously you weren't that traumatized from you know it just wasn't your thing i just was like
oh i can't do this i have to you know best option other than going to college is becoming a pop star
right and you've done it i just did what i had right? So many people drop out and don't make it.
So you put, I was doing some research, as a good journalist does,
and I saw that you uploaded, there was one music video you put on YouTube
and that sort of started it all, right?
You got signed from that, is that true?
Yeah, well, so I started making YouTube videos when I was nine years old.
Crap.
And then I started writing songs when I was 12.
And every single one of those songs that I wrote on my own
started going up on the internet since I was 12 years old.
And I just kept writing.
I became obsessed with songwriting,
like maniacally obsessed with it.
Wrote literally a song every single day since I was 12.
And by the time I was a senior in high school,
there was one song that I wrote called Idle Town
that I recorded in my bedroom,
like literally on a cheap microphone,
on garage band, like anyone
could have done it. And I
made a music video with my best friend and
put it up on the internet and within
a month it was getting millions
of views. And then from there
I took all the money that I made
from that, moved to LA and went to college
and then got signed.
Holy shit.
Yeah, it was fast.
And it's like, you're a country boy, right?
You're from Texas.
I am a country boy.
I'm from the bush.
Oh my god.
You're from the American equivalent of the bush.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm a hick.
Yeah.
But I love that you're a good hick.
Oh, thanks.
You pull it off.
Thank you very much.
Because the chains that you wear are very, they can be like very hick or very hip, right? Yeah, well, technically I am white trash because my father, you know, my father's white, my mother's Japanese.
So I have a little bit in me.
So I try my best, you know, do a little bit of white trash representation, you know.
You've got the singlet on.
Yeah, it's very nice.
I have the white beater on.
You do have the white beater on, yeah.
This actually is very white trash or make it work.
And you're making it work.
I love it.
Thank you so much.
I've never like taken a white trash compliment so much.
Oh my God, it's a compliment.
It really is.
Me too.
I've got like, these are massive lesbian energy.
These are like cut off denim shorts.
Thank you so much.
I'm just really, really proud of my heritage.
Yeah, no, I back it.
You're rocking it.
Thank you.
That's what I wanted to say as well.
Your music, when I listen to your music
and watch interviews and watch your YouTube videos,
I went on a deep dive.
I feel like what we're getting
when we see you and hear you
is 100% you.
And you know what?
You listen to an artist
and their lyrics
and you go,
someone wrote that.
You didn't write any of that.
Like you're killing it
and it sounds so good,
but I'm not getting any of you.
And I get you with your music.
Thank you.
Yeah, I mean,
I really, the thing about my music is like, you know, production-wise,
it's kind of all over the place.
But like, no matter what, I write everything myself.
So like, it always just sounds like the way that I talk.
I feel like my music literally sounds like me speaking.
Yeah.
Just like with the words that I use and stuff like that.
And also like, I feel like, you know, it's like cool when other artists like, you know,
write songs or don't write songs and like go into interviews and like, yeah, I wrote this song
in a really dark time in my life, which really makes me mad.
But, you know, it's also like, I just like writing songs.
That's why I write them all myself.
But, but it is like, I do feel like when an artist writes their own songs, you can tell
and it feels, it feels more personal.
And I really, really try my best to like make a personal connection with these people because
all these people have reached out to me and been like, I relate to you.
And I'm like, this is what I feel like, too, you know?
I think it's really important to me.
What music are you writing now?
Like, what are your lyrics about?
Like, a year ago, you'd be writing about, I mean, you had so much to write about.
But now, you're a pop star.
You're on the rise.
What are the lyrics about?
I mean, the same stuff.
what are the lyrics about?
I mean, the same stuff.
It's like my life, you know,
has changed a ton,
but surprisingly,
like every human kind of has the same issues.
You know, you fall in love,
you fall out of love,
you're sad, you're happy,
you're poor, you're rich.
You know, it's like you kind of like,
you all have a lot of the same issues no matter where you are in life.
And that's what I love so much about music
is that like out of,
we have so many things that make us all so different. And that's what I love so much about music is that we have so many things
that make us all so different.
And music is one of those things
that brings us all together.
Whether it's this pop song called Maniac
that's literally just the song
that you want to scream in the car.
It's super deep.
I mean, that song makes me a little sad
if you actually listen to the lyrics.
But sometimes you just want to have fun
and music brings people together, which is like, we need that these days, right?
Yeah, 100%.
Very much so.
Have you had a U.S. talk show debut?
I've done a show.
I've sung on the Seth Meyers show.
But I haven't done an interview before.
A sit-down?
Yeah.
Okay, because I think we should get it started and get it trending.
Yeah.
Conan for Conan.
Right? Like, you should be on Conan. Why haven't I been we should get it started and get a trending. Yeah. Conan for Conan. Right.
Like you should.
Oh my gosh.
Why haven't I been?
And then you know what we can do.
We can fight to the death.
Yes.
There can only be one.
There can only be one Conan on this earth.
And he would absolutely win.
He's a massive human.
He's like six foot four.
And he's really smart.
And he's, he's very, he's a Harvard guy.
He'd probably just look at me and I just gone.
Yeah.
You'd just melt away.
Dissipate.
But, but you know what?
That would like, why what why have his people
not gone
we need to get Conan
it's time
on Conan
I think he's afraid
I think he's scared too
I think he's scared
that I'm gonna fight him
well cause there was what
Conan the Barbarian right
and then he came along
I already killed him
I already killed
off the map
and you've got Conan O'Brien
he's in his mid 50s
he's gonna be around
for ages
yeah he's been around
for a long time
so you've gotta take
you're the new supreme and you need to got to take, you're the new Supreme.
And you need to rise to the top.
You're the new Supreme.
Let's get this clear.
He would full-on murder me so quickly.
Well, let's get you performing on the show,
and then bit by bit, we'll get you on.
Yeah, and then we can actually have a fight.
I would just love to get in a physical fight with him.
It'd be so fun.
That'd be so fun.
Conan versus Conan.
Conan v. Conan.
Yeah, hashtag Conan on Conan, I think. Well, it's not going to work. He really won't fun. Conan versus Conan. Conan v. Conan. Or, yeah, hashtag Conan on Conan.
I think, well, it's not going to work.
He really won't care.
He's like, I went to Harvard.
I don't care.
You know?
No, he's interviewing Barack Obama.
I went to public school, you know?
I love that we pretend it's going to happen.
I think it will.
I think it will.
I'm going to see it on YouTube.
I started this trend.
It's only a matter of time.
It should be.
You're the only person who's brought that up.
Really?
I think about it all the time.
I'm like, Conan O'Brien, let's fight. Well, I'm a massive Conan fan. I're the only person who's brought that up. Really? I think about it all the time.
I'm like, Conan O'Brien, let's fight.
Well, I'm a massive Conan fan.
I am too.
I really love his show.
And I love his behind the scenes videos on YouTube.
His little remotes?
Where he messes with his temps.
Oh my God.
And he's an assistant sonar?
Yeah.
Have you heard his podcast?
I haven't, no. Oh my God.
Listen to his podcast.
It's just him and his best celebrity friends.
And it's just like this. They're just chatting. Yeah, he's just brilliant. He's wonderful. He's his podcast. Yeah. It's just him and his like best celebrity friends. And it's just like this.
They're just chatting.
Yeah, he's just brilliant.
He's wonderful.
He's really good.
Yeah, he is good, isn't he?
Yeah.
Far out.
Look at that.
I love how he bonded over another Conan when I'm interviewing Conan Gray.
Look, we had to find common ground.
Just somewhere.
Hey, how are we going?
Am I going over?
Are we all right?
We're good.
We're good?
Okay.
Let's talk about new music.
Because what are your stands called again?
They don't have a name.
Actually, they have several names that they've given themselves.
I think it's really tacky when artists name their fans.
I'm like, ew, stop.
Swifties was made by Taylor Swift.
Was it really?
It has to have been, right?
But that was such a good name.
Great name.
I feel like if it's right, it catches on, you know?
I just feel like, you know, it's like, I don't, it's not my, I'm not going to force anything.
Okay.
And they come up with their own things.
Like sometimes they call themselves the Coneheads.
Sometimes they call themselves the cult, like the Conan cult.
Oh.
Sometimes they call themselves, they have like several names for themselves.
Yeah.
So I don't, it's not, I'm not going to interfere.
Like sometimes I'm kind of scared of them.
I'm like, you do your thing, you know?
Yeah, it'll naturally land on one.
You'll get one.
I feel like also like they don't really care.
Like whatever.
Your fans are intense though.
They're so intense.
But yeah, I think when it comes to stand name, they're just like, we're Conan stans.
Yeah.
Well, I got in a fight with BTS stans on Twitter
like a week ago
and they canceled me
and I played them on the air,
but I didn't play two songs.
So they canceled me for not playing more.
How dare you?
I know.
They're like,
play Black Swan.
I'm like,
I just played the one with Halsey
and they're like,
you're not listening to this.
How dare you?
I know.
So bad.
I mean,
it's,
you know,
I think it really just shows
how much music matters to people
it's like I will murder you
I will murder you if you don't
support my favorite artist
people need people
who care about them that much
we need that same energy out of our best friends
I know we do
I will murder you if you mess with them
we need Stan energy in 2020
out of our real friends
out of the people we're dating
100% new music 2020 what's the plan We need Stan energy in 2020. Out of our real friends. Out of the people we're dating. Yeah, we need that.
100%.
New music, 2020.
What's the plan?
What can you tell me?
What's happening?
Is your life mapped out until the end of the year
or the end of the year after?
Basically.
I mean, my whole entire everything is planned.
But who knows what people will think about the album.
You know, my debut album, Kid Crow, comes out March 20th.
And who knows what will happen after it comes out. so i'm i'm excited just to see the way
that people react there's there's so many songs that they just haven't heard yet and so many
secrets that i just have never told yet and and um kind of have been waiting to tell people things
in a way that i felt like was right and um yeah so i'm just excited for the album to come out and
and to go on a massive world tour
and just try to see as many people as I possibly can.
Yeah, and also we'll see kind of like,
I really would love to work with and do a few collaborations
and just kind of like, you know, make music.
That's what I do.
I like making music.
Yeah, do you have any teed up?
Anything that you can tell us about?
Nothing that I can tell you about.
Oh, come on.
Sorry.
You could get Conan O'Brien on a song.
Billie Eilish had The Office.
That might be fun.
She had Steve Carell on.
I'm actually Conan O'Brien feature on a Conan.
Holy shit.
That'd be funny.
Wow, actually, that's smart.
You're mine.
You know what?
You'd be getting the comedy world,
and then you'd be getting the music world.
It's a cross-section.
I really don't think the comedy world will care about me.
Well, they're all oldies.
You never know.
Who knows?
Like, who's this kid?
Let's try it
get him out of here
he's not the real con
yeah
he doesn't have red hair
um
okay well
thank you for coming on
I am still sweating
I wish people could see
I'm melting
I'm so embarrassed
it's alright
I'm sweating everywhere as well
it's just quite gross
we're literally in a dungeon
what do you expect
yeah I know we are
are you excited for tonight
Sydney crowd
I'm so excited
I've never been to Australia before and I'm excited to see what the crowd will be like.
I feel like I really relate to Australians in the sense of, like, it seems like the kind
of place that you kind of, like, you grow up in, you're, like, kind of, like, you get
a little antsy because it's kind of like suburbia.
Yeah.
And I grew up in suburbia, so, like, I feel like they're going to be extra wild.
I'm super excited.
Yeah, that's true.
We can relate.
We're in the middle of nowhere. It takes 10 hours to get anywhere. Yeah. So, I mean, Texas, going to be extra wild. I'm super excited. Yeah, that's true. We can relate. We're in the middle of nowhere.
It takes 10 hours to get anywhere.
Yeah.
So, I mean, Texas, down south.
True.
Exactly, yeah.
You're an Aussie at heart.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Wow, that means so much to me.
I just bestowed upon you your citizenship.
I've been anointed.
I won't touch you because I'm so sweaty, but I am anointing you right now.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for hanging out.
I appreciate it, man.
Good luck tonight.
Thank you.
Yay.
That was so fun. Thanks, tonight. Thank you. Yay. Thanks, team.
Best friend.
Sorry, I'm just finalising my list of things that I now like about him.
He's a nice kid, right?
That was a good chat.
Yeah, it was a good chat.
I think I'm officially a fan.
Would you like to hear the list?
Yeah, but yes, go for it.
Country boy.
Yeah.
He is.
White trash.
Yes.
Gets a bit pitchy when excited me too relates to australians
there you go yeah that's all things i didn't like cheery's breathing
literally every time we saw him no it wasn't was it that bad no i'm just kidding i liked it where
was this happening you'd think you'd have a bit more of a glamorous dressing room no it was the
metro theater you know it was the Metro Theatre.
You know, it was very punk rock and very old school.
Where's the Metro again?
Metro is on George Street in the CBD.
It's like really tucked away.
Oh, right.
Shit.
Okay, yeah.
It's very Avril Lavigne punk rock vibes.
Like everything is painted black.
It's bricks.
There's just no air con.
And we were in a room no bigger than maybe like, God, like a cubicle, like a bathroom.
And it was the two of us sitting inside it.
It was horrendous.
Wow, okay.
Well, if you had to measure his level of fame,
that's where he's at now.
Then he'll go Enmore.
Then he'll go Horton.
Kudos.
Kudos.
Kudos, Ben Carina.
He was lovely, though.
I really enjoyed spending time with him.
Yeah, he sounds like fun.
What was his album called again? Kid Crow crow because apparently his best friend called him crow when he was a kid because his hair was jet black so oh so it's named after bullying
yeah it's a bullying anthem no it's not it's named after his childhood in texas that was a
great chat by the way all my chats are on the iheart radio app now you can go and listen
of course i didn't have a childhood nickname, did you guys?
I was Noodles.
Noodles.
Yeah, I had a hoodie with Noodles written on the back of it.
What for?
Because, I don't know, have I ever told this story on this God for Vague Sake and Show?
God for Vague Sake and Show?
Fucking, fucking, fucking Noodles.
This scar, see this scar right here?
You probably haven't noticed it until now.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I just thought you'd been lying down.
Like it was a mark from a cushion or something.
It was a crease.
Never noticed that you have, oh, wow, he's like Scarf and the Lion King.
I am.
It's right across my face.
Why have I never noticed that?
Yeah, giant fucking scar above your eye.
Yeah, it's right there.
There's actually one directly above as well.
What did you do?
I was hit in the head with a pool noodle.
A pool noodle's capable of that?
Yeah.
What?
Fucking hell.
It was tragic, really.
I was in Queensland with a friend.
I was like 10, and we were swimming in the pool,
and his neighbour came over, young girl, lovely thing,
I think her name was Marley, and we had pool noodles, right?
We were riding on them, and we were hitting each other with them,
having sword fights, and she just whacked me right across the head.
And do you know how the sides of pool noodles, like the end, is sharp.
I think they almost
melt them
so they don't fray.
They must just go
with a hot,
you know,
branding iron.
Oh, so it like
cut your fucking head.
So just a piece of
hard, hard, hard foam
just sliced through my head,
bled everywhere
through the water.
It was truly tragic.
And you know what the bitch did?
She left,
didn't even get her shoes
and clothes
and she never came
to collect them.
She just thought, yeah, I thought you knew them. She just thought, yeah, that's what you didn't have.
She was like, Wile E. Coyote.
Now I'll do it again.
She was like, Wile E. Coyote.
Just ping.
She never returned.
I had to get seven stitches.
Really?
Yep, right in the eye in Queensland too.
Do you have any interesting scars, Jenna?
When I was about seven, I fell into my neighbour's pool.
Oh, my God.
Shut the gate, mate.
No, there was no gate.
Yeah, this was the 60s.
This was the 60s.
Jenna's like a ghost.
Yeah, 1968.
I remember it.
Oh, my God.
She's a little bit vampire-esque, our Jenna.
Jenna is.
She's like one of those vampires in Twilight that doesn't age.
Yes.
You make sense now.
Anyway.
Have you had any...
What happened?
You fell in and...
I've got a scar on my leg.
I didn't have to go to hospital because my neighbour's a doctor.
How convenient.
How bloody handy.
Yep.
Mitch, you?
Only the mental ones.
People often say to me, oh, sorry, you've got something on your tooth.
Like I've got a bit of food on my tooth.
You know that bit of white shit just there?
I've never noticed.
No, I've never noticed.
I can't even see it from this side. It's like a little... It looks like there's a bit of yellow food or something stuck to my tooth. You know that bit of white shit just there? I've never noticed. No, I've never noticed. I can't even see it from this side.
It's like a little, it looks like there's a bit of yellow food or something stuck to
my tooth.
You sure it's not just some of your banana from your smoothie?
No, it's not.
It's when I was attacked by a dog.
Oh, heavens above.
Oh, God.
Yes, when I was like, I think I was four.
Truly tragic story.
Yeah.
And that's, interestingly, what gave me my lisp.
The dog's lisp?
Really?
Or what, did it bark and go, lisp, forever?
No.
Also, the dog's name is Mitch, hilarious.
Was it really?
Who knows the fucking dog Mitch?
Picture my hand.
This is the dog's mouth.
Okay, I'm picturing it.
Latches on, top row of teeth on my nose, bottom row of teeth in my mouth.
No, Mitch!
Grabs little four-year-old Mitchell and shakes.
Apparently I could talk.
I've been told that I talked normally before that
and then after that I couldn't say the letter S properly.
Because he munted up my mouth, that dog cunt.
It's not the first time you've, you know,
had that much face-to-face contact with a dog, am I right?
That was
quite possibly...
Sorry, that's that animal harm joke.
There's many contenders springing to mind, but that was quite possibly your worst joke.
Yeah, that wasn't the worst, was it?
No, it was pretty low.
It was bad.
It's all right.
Anyway.
Have you had voice therapy, speech therapy?
Yes.
Taught me how to say the letter S out the side of my mouth because I still can't say it at
the front like a normal person.
What did you say?
How did you say it last time?
Well, it was kind of like an S.
So you had a more severe...
When I try to say it out the front it's like
like i just can't do it normally but now i kind of position it as such that i can get that nice
look i know we're ending but i just not we're not ending the show's not done forever but um
i actually say can you say love for a second for me love yeah say it love but like open your mouth
and say it like so we can see how you do it in your mouth. Go. What the fuck?
Just do it. Say love.
Oh, this is dumb. It kills me that I can't edit this out.
Say it. Love. Okay, Jenna.
Love. Yeah. Your tongue is at the front
of your mouth. I say love
at the back. Ready? Love.
That's weird.
Our tongues protrude. Yours leaps back
like it's trying to get out of the way of a bus
oncoming.
L.
Ooh, that's weird.
L.
I can't L.
God.
It's gross, right?
And I say, I swallow my L's.
Mitchell.
It goes back. Mitchell.
Mitchell.
Maybe that's why I choke so much of my food, because I'm just dying.
All right.
It's been a real pleasure, ladies and gents.
Can you edit this end thing, or is it all good?
What's this explain?
Yeah, but you can make one cut, surely. May. I can't say. at this end thing or is it all good? What's this explain?
Yeah, but you can make one cut, surely.
May.
I can't say.
You're going to hate
the next bit.
Physio is very expensive.
I shan't be going
against their orders
just to make one cut.
Okay.
It's very simple though.
You just fade the music up
when we're done
and then you fade it down
gradually.
Yeah, okay.
So everyone shut up
while he fades it down.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Don't forget to leave a review
if you're using Apple Podcasts.
Five stars, thanks.
Yes, please.
All right, we'll be back next week.
Good luck on your Grindr date, Manch.
Have fun.
I don't have one.
You can't edit it out, though.
Happy Mardi Gras, girls.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Faster.
How was that?
Oh, that was so dumb.
What was?
I did that perfectly, I thought.
Oh, it stops, doesn't it?
I brought it back up.
Yeah.
Welcome to ADD Brief.
Welcome.
This is our secret segment.
I reckon people who would usually be fooled out of listening
would have listened for your manual volume decline.
And now they're like, wait, there's an extra bit.
They normally thought that the show was done.
So this is our secret segment called AD Debrief where we just talk aimlessly.
We keep it a secret because we're a little bit ashamed of where our conversation sometimes leads.
Yeah.
The first part is planned, structured, within reason.
This bit is loose and it's very, it's not good content really.
It's not the sort of thing I'd put on my portfolio.
It's embarrassing.
I wouldn't put this on my LinkedIn, but I would put it on my resume
because there's a radio first being made.
No.
No one's yet to really officially do it, but you can call in on 189-664-448-9021.
Oh, a new number.
Yeah.
Well, 2020 we had to re-register in Guam.
So it's coming out of Guam, but you keep dialing 606.
Then you want to put in the letter 7 of a phone.
The number.
The letter 7.
Sorry.
It's in front of me.
I get very confused.
And then you call us, and then we will put you to air.
It is that easy, ladies and gents.
You can also live tweet us as the show goes on,
but we haven't had one yet, which is odd.
The way it works is, because, you know, we can't just tweet us. That's not how it works. You have to just tweet and hope the show goes on. But we haven't had one yet, which is odd. The way it works is, because, you know,
we can't just tweet us somehow it works.
You have to just tweet and hope that we're recording.
But, you know, if you get us, you get us.
There we go.
Joe Hockey.
Loving the show all the way from the US
because the time zone is up listening.
Who's Joe Hockey again?
He's the...
He's a politician.
He's a politician.
What's he doing in the US?
Well, he, get this right, was stabbed in the back in that whole Libsville thing a couple
Is this you making shit up or is this real?
It's true.
I love politics.
And he is now the USAU ambassador.
So he lives in Washington, D.C.
Oh, didn't know that.
There you go.
Cushy job.
You can never get fired from that job.
He just, we can, but he just never retires.
He just does that job for as long as he wants.
Okay.
He has no fixed term.
Anyway, that's where it's at.
Oh, Angela Bishop is listening.
Oh, that's nice.
She says, can't wait for Trolls 2.
I do love Ang.
I don't know why she tagged us, Entertainment Reporter.
She doesn't get Twitter.
You can clearly tell.
Anyway, once again, 889-602-902-107, the number, and you can call.
You're done.
I'm just giving you the facts.
That's how it works.
The facts.
The facts number as well.
Oh, there is a fax.
The fax is 449-806-9066-432.
Here's my YouFood.
Have you ever had people say to you, Mitch,
why do you do that thing where you pretend that people aren't,
like you try and trick people out of listening?
Obviously no one's that dumb.
People actually don't realise. People genuinely skip and think that the episode's done yes yes
it's that so many people have said to us oh my god i've only just discovered add roof like people
actually tune out to be fair though i think i know why because i listened to this podcast um
and they the podcast ends and then there's like six minutes at the end but all is all it is is
this podcast was brought to you by Luminary.
And it's like, join us on Facebook.
The conversation continues.
And I just skip it every time. So most podcasts have like an end credits that people would skip.
So they must just think that it's us thanking our sponsors.
True.
Can I tell you, I do have Red Rooster vouchers to give away, though.
Do you?
Anyone that comes on air and gives us an Is It Just You, as in they bring their idjim to us, gets a red rooster voucher, I can now officially say.
You're kidding me.
I never kid.
I keep telling you.
How can people, they can, I mean, tweet us.
Joe Hockey wants to do one.
Yes.
It just slide into our DMs at a couple of inches.
If something's on your mind, going about your day, and you think, God, I wonder if it's just me that thinks that.
Hold on.
Oh, my God, we've got a caller.
Oh, my God.
That's the hang-up sound effect.
Genevieve in Melbourne.
You just played the hang-up.
Yeah.
Genevieve, she called.
And then said, we've got a caller.
Oh, she hung up.
That's a shame.
That was what you were hearing, by the way.
That wasn't her.
Oh, I can't believe I missed Zumba for this.
Did you miss it again, Jenna?
Of course I did.
Can I just say, we record the same day every week.
Just don't en enroll in that class.
And stop bitching about missing Zumba if you've got other commitments.
Can you shut up?
You go to other ones in the week, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, but Zumba is on this day.
But you go to Zumba on other days?
No.
Oh, well, we will accept your resignation, Jenna,
if you really need to go to Zumba that badly.
But Jenna, I don't think they're missing you.
I spoke to Gabby in your class.
And Gabby, how did everyone in the class feel when Jenna didn't turn up?
Yeah, a couple of times.
Stop.
Everyone loved that.
Just do it a little bit and then stop fucking around.
We can't have a conversation.
Fair enough.
I just got a text from my, oh, speaking of my RSI.
Hello, it's Rebecca from Physio.
It was great to meet you.
I've recorded an important voice message for you following our appointment.
Please check it out here.
Oh, that seems sus.
Play it, play it, play it.
A voice message?
Is that?
How did she message that to you on text?
Yeah, is that?
Should I click that link?
Yeah, click the link.
What if this is some scam?
Wouldn't be a scam.
She sounds very into you.
What if it's like, to fix your wrist, you need to put it down south.
And you know why we need to get your wrist back in working order, don't you?
Yuck.
Ew!
I'm getting out of that.
I actually don't think you're missing out on that much life with that hand illness.
What do you mean? I think you're making it all up. I don't think you're actually. on that much life with that hand illness. What do you mean?
I think you're making it all up.
I don't think you're actually.
Give me, hold on, let me make this a thing.
If you can list three legitimate things that you're missing out on because of your RSI,
I will shout your lunch tomorrow.
I mean, I don't want to be all melodramatic about it.
Like, there's way more serious injuries that I could have right now.
But it has been a bit challenging, not going to lie.
You didn't list one.
Well, I was going to get into it.
I'm not working against your stupid clock.
I will fucking use my good hand to throw this pen at you.
Please don't.
Please do it.
Jenna, I'm your biggest ally.
No, you're not.
You're the LGBT community and I'm the straights.
Support it. Are you coming to Mardi Gras? I haven't biggest ally. No, you're not. You're the LGBT community and I'm the straights. Supporter, are you coming to Mardi Gras?
I haven't been invited.
Anyone can go.
Is that right, Mitch?
It's like saying I haven't been invited to the canteen.
It's open.
I don't fit in.
Are you coming to Christmas?
Oh, I didn't know it was on.
It's busy.
No one told me.
No one told me about that.
I always get left off the fucking invites these days.
Why is everyone eating chocolate?
Jenna, it's Easter. No one told me about that i always get left off the fucking invite these days why is everyone eating chocolate jenna it's easter no one told me very funny what are you doing for monty grow
are you gonna go to the after party with kesha and sam smith and do a leaper no i don't know
if i should go because of the the hand there's not much you can do no no don't make it i'm being
honest yeah i don't know don't you're coming on the kiss float with up with. No, don't make it dirty. I'm being honest. Yeah, I don't know. Don't.
You're coming on the kiss float with myself, yeah?
I don't know.
If you see on my Instagram a picture of me all dolled up looking cute, then yes, I went
back.
At the moment, I'm not sure if I'll go.
Yeah, okay.
Because it's a thing.
As much as you think I'm faking my wrist injury, asshole.
To be fair, I actually think it's bad.
Yeah.
Carpal tunnel.
It's worse than I thought it was, actually.
Really? Well, I was taking the piss out of it last week think it's bad. Yeah. Carpal tunnel. It's worse than I thought it was, actually. Really?
Well, I was taking the piss out of it last week.
You heard it.
Yeah.
But, yeah, it's a whole thing now.
You wrapped a case around my hand, so I had to go out and go out.
What did you call it?
Someone else is doing my job for three weeks because I can't do it.
Really?
Yeah.
Your actual day job?
Yeah.
So I have to go to physio and that's expensive.
You don't realise how much you use both hands until you're asked,
I'll just use one.
Yeah, you're right, actually.
Have you ever tried to put on a fitted sheet on a mattress with one hand?
See, those are the tasks that you just don't do at the moment.
I can't not do them.
I'm not sleeping on a mattress without a sheet.
God.
Good point.
I spilled a water bottle all over my bed and I'm like,
I have to change it but i can't
yeah oh the whole thing yeah so hold on is it the soreness in the wrist or the arm or the fingers
um bit of everything at the moment and i don't know what physios do but they've somehow found
that it's connected to the neck it's so weird yeah that chick that just sent that voice message
she literally pokes the back of my neck and
goes, can you feel that in your fingers?
And I was like, oh my God, yes.
What the hell?
So weird.
I don't understand the connection between neck and hands and stuff.
But yeah, it's all very weird.
I went to physio.
I just do as I'm told.
When I broke my leg, I went to physio and they just rubbed a sorbolene cream on me all
day.
And I'm like, what is this doing?
Did you break your leg?
I snapped a tendon, which was almost as bad as a break.
Yeah.
See, that's what I mean when I'm like, I don't want to be melodramatic about my RSI injury,
because that would be fucked.
Oh, it was awful.
Is that when you fell down the stairs at a lobster place?
I don't want to talk about it.
What?
Why would you bring that up, Jenna?
Have I heard this story?
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay, well, don't then.
It's Joe Hockey.
He wants me to talk about it.
I'll talk about it.
So I was at a restaurant.
Actually, let me set the scene.
Oh, God.
Maybe I have heard it.
Someone else talk while I am.
Yeah, I think you've heard it.
Yep.
Have you heard it?
Yep, he's heard it.
Can you start and I'll let you know if I've heard it?
I was at a seafood restaurant.
Actually, it was a crab lobster restaurant.
That was their specialty.
It was Thursday night.
And all night, I'm cracking open this crack.
Chink, chink, eat, eat.
But it's covered in Creole butter.
And the Creole butter spills all over the floor.
And because it's a crab restaurant, everyone's been doing that all night.
The floor is just laid in a thin layer of butter.
It's very oily.
So I'm walking down the stairs.
There's a giant crab on the wall, the size of a small car. And I go,
that's cute because it had eyes and a funny little
mouth. And I looked up and as I looked up, I
missed a step and my heavy left foot
slipped on the Creole butter and
the tendon went
like an elastic band and it snapped
and it bunched up halfway up my calf.
And I fell down the
stairs.
And then I went, oh hell and um i went hell bowels with
two girls that hosted a radio show um and yes now i know it now i know it but i've not heard
this detail that's fucking hilarious yeah didn't you come to work with like a moon boot on yeah i
had a moon boot for like that's what for some reason i was thinking i didn't know you oh i do
remember this yep i remember holy shit i didn't know you. Oh, I do remember this. Yep, I remember. Holy shit.
I didn't realise the butter situation.
And I said, I'm fine, I'll drive home.
Drove home, halfway home. My
leg had swollen so much I couldn't
accelerate or brake. So I had to pull over and my dad
had to come and pick me up.
At least you have family in town to help you out.
Exactly right. Anyway, I went to the physio and
he was like, let me rub this sorbolene cream in.
What is sorbolene again? Sorbolene's like moisturiser. Oh yeah, I was thinking the physio and he was like, let me rub this sorbolene cream in. What is sorbolene again?
Sorbolene's like moisturiser.
Oh, yeah, I was thinking of Vaseline.
I was like, how's that going to help?
No, no, just sorbolene.
And then he strapped me right up.
I was like, you know, Maria Sharapova.
How long did you have that thing on?
Eight weeks, I think.
Wow, I completely forgot about that period of our life.
It didn't.
Our life, like we were a married couple.
Of our life, just before we had baby Simon. Oh, yeah, when't. Our life. I grew up in a married couple. Of our life.
Just before we had baby Simon.
Oh, yeah, when Mitch had the fall.
Yeah, it was a rough couple of months.
We missed a couple of mortgage repayments too because he was off work.
Yeah.
The mines.
He didn't get approved for work.
It's gone bloody hell.
No, no, we couldn't get leave either.
And Marabella got pneumonia straight after.
It was awful.
It was a rough trot that week.
That week.
That year was a rough trot.
Then we lost Dot in December.
Oh, yeah.
We lost Dot around Christmas.
And Clem.
January.
Oh, Clem.
God.
And I told Clem,
don't feed the crocodiles.
But he did.
He said,
I've been doing it
for my whole life.
At least he died
doing what he loves.
When I called Clem that night,
no one answered
and I thought they got him.
It was a beautiful funeral though.
It was beautiful.
The bagpipes, nice touch.
What he wouldn't want to...
Anyway.
So yeah, but my leg didn't recover for, I reckon, 12.
It was really tender.
Wow.
You sort of heal, but then you've still got that recovery period where you can't do any
high exercise and that kills me because I love...
I just love to get up and go.
Do you know what?
That's actually what has been the roughest is that I can't exercise as much and other exercise and that kills me because i love i just love to get up and go do you know what that's
actually what has been the roughest is that i can't exercise as much and i've other people that
have had other injuries much more extreme than mine have said like oh it's actually you don't
realize how much how much it impacts you mentally when you can't do the things that you usually do
in order to feel healthy yeah it's fucked but anyway we'll get there we'll get there here we
are you know robbing jenna of her z class. We're talking about not being able to do your exercise.
Just, I don't know.
Okay.
Instead of coming on air, sorry, on the cloud every week and bitching about it,
let's have a conversation about it.
Either find another Zumba studio or a different time,
or we agree to a different recording day.
Don't just come on, wait for the mics on and be like,
I can't go to Zumba because of this.
I agree.
It's going to get old.
Okay, whatever.
Let's move on.
I agree.
Siri, what do you think?
All right, we won't come up with a solution then.
You're on your own.
There you are, flapping like an albatross.
Just keep disappointing your Zumba instructor week after week.
Hey, let's all settle this.
Deal.
I will.
I will be a disappointment.
I will. Siri, is a disappointment. I will.
Siri, is Jenna a disappointment?
Yes.
I could have told you that.
Yeah, not wrong.
June Daly Watkins could have told her that.
She's like, oh, that Jenna.
Right beyond her head.
Hey, you know what we should do?
What?
A Ouija board.
No.
But we should do one with June Daly.
Try to connect to her.
June Daly.
She just spells out the word yuck.
F-A-G.
Not in Mardi Gras season.
We can say that word.
I don't know about that.
I thought we were allowed to say it.
I think we are, but other people listening might not have such a flippant regard of the word as we do.
Very true.
Miss Daly wouldn't have liked it.
Did you see all the brands during Mardi Gras season that were trying to create woke ads
and what they were doing was reading out
the homophobic comments they get?
And it's like, no, no, no, that's not helpful.
This was clearly a straight person's idea
to read out these things.
You don't remind people.
And it was the Australian Federal Police.
That's right.
There's been a couple, though.
I saw it too.
There's been a couple.
I swear to fuck, I will break your fingers.
She's listening. She's always listening for targeted though. I saw it too. There's been a couple. I swear to fuck, I will break your fingers. She's listening.
She's always listening for targeted ads.
I can't stop her from talking.
Siri, if she wants to chime in, she's heard the homophobic messages too.
Do you reckon they actually are always listening?
Yes, because I got tailored ads the other day for beef jerky.
Never once did I search it, but I was telling Hayden just how much I wanted beef jerky.
And it's like Aussie, Biltong, emu, kangaroo, beef.
I don't really mind. I don't really mind.
I don't really say much, to be honest.
No, but yesterday I got an ad for a Muslim dating site,
and I've never mentioned anything like that.
Really?
I keep getting the ad for that bloody tongue scraper.
Really?
And I mentioned that last week to you.
No, but well before that.
Did you Google it?
That tongue scraper that makes your breath,
like your tongue not all white and like your breath better.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's just always been there.
I've never Googled it.
Isn't that bloody interesting?
God, you know what I always get ads for?
That Dyson blow dryer.
Oh, really?
I'd love one of those.
If you ever guys get me a gift, last Christmas I got you both gifts, you didn't get me one.
I would love a Dyson blow dryer.
I'm the gift that keeps on giving.
You are.
You know, I'm surprised this show's gone on as long as it has.
I know, me too.
You know what I was thinking?
What made you think that it wasn't going to last longer than 17 episodes?
Your lack of commitment.
Is that right, Siri?
Ordinarily, I might have a sense of humour about that joke,
but when I'm literally injured and exhausted and in agony from overworking,
I don't find that funny.
I know, I'm just joking.
Choose your timing.
Anyway, how is everyone?
You good?
You know what?
I'm good.
I had something to bring up in this bit.
But you know me, I couldn't bloody...
Who's that?
Oh, God.
Can you believe?
Guess who this is?
I don't know.
Guess.
It's Kate Daly Watkins, her daughter.
Yes, it is.
Stop slagging off my mother, you fuck.
It's Kate.
She didn't say that. She said she never liked
Jenna. Tiffany Daly Watkins. Tiffany Daly.
What do you reckon June Daly Watkins would name her daughter?
Wait, let me look it up.
Petunia. It wouldn't be something
modern like, I don't know. It'd be Peach
Daly Watkins. Jenna's searching.
What do we have, Jake?
Carol
and Lisa
Oh
Carol Daly-Watkins
Very good
Lisa Daly-Watkins
No, but Carol spelt C-A-R-E-L
Also, all she needed was Stevie
And she's got the Saddle Club
Oh my god, she does
True
Oh my god
I want to hear her one more time
I want to just picture her voice
To have a perfect life
Do you? You're dead
Oh please
To have a perfect life No To you? You're dead. Oh, please.
To have a perfect life. No.
To know all the right things to do is so important.
I want to trans...
Why does she know all the right things?
Who told her?
That's what I'm like.
It's a little bit arrogant.
She's not claiming that she does.
She's been edited that way by SBS or whatever.
Oh, God, Jenna, calm down.
I don't have to defend her.
Yes, I do have to defend her.
You're coming across as a bit of a...
She can't defend herself beyond the grave.
Maniac.
Did you get it?
That was stupid.
You know something I've noticed about you, Mitchell Turing?
Tell me.
Apart from the fact that you're the most irritating person
I've ever met.
Yeah.
True.
You get away with calling people just by the first letter
of their first name.
Like, you just called Jenna J.
I remember that we had that Georgie chick on for Is It Just You?
And you called her.
You were like, hey, G.
And I'm like, I could never pull that off.
Oh, yeah.
You say it with such confidence.
I don't know.
I've heard you say it a few times to a few different people.
It only works with letters.
You couldn't say, hey, M.
That sounds shit.
Yeah, true.
Oh, you used to call Talisha T.
I did. When she worked in our office?
I did.
Then the earthquake and she had to leave.
Poor thing.
This is why I don't like this section of the show.
I can't have a conversation.
Very true.
It's either a sound effect or some dumb...
Okay, I'll snap.
He's not like this during the show, is he?
No, not at all.
The bits are done.
The bits are over.
You know what we haven't done in a while and I want to do next week?
What?
Coughing Fit Chicken.
Yeah, true.
We haven't done it in a while.
I'd like to do a Coughing Fit Chicken.
Last time we rated your celeb black book.
Yeah, we should do yours.
Do I even have any celebs in here?
I actually have had made a couple of additions to my celeb black book.
Did you just want to bring that up?
No, no, no.
No, you brought it up.
Let me see.
Who's the most famous person I've got here?
You know, I've got Bo Ryan's number.
We could coughing fit chicken him.
The irony being that he stole that segment for Kyle and Jackie O.
They're like, I heard it one day.
It was like, Bo's coughing calls.
I was like, what the fuck?
And he does the exact same thing.
And he's part of a show that stole our song.
What?
Dancing with the Stars.
Get off our dick, Bo Ryan.
Fuck. I will
hand it to them. It's a fucking
brilliant idea. I'd steal it too
if I hadn't come up with it. Let's be real, it was well executed.
It's true. I mean, no one else could. I think I'm the only one
that could do a good coughing fit chicken because I commit
to the role and I have smokers cough
and I don't smoke. So far,
we've called Ben Fordham.
Yep.
Some poor bitch.
Busselton Library.
Busselton Library.
She shared it on her Facebook only last week.
She goes, I only just found this.
There's two boys or maybe one's a girl.
I'm not sure.
Shut up.
Called, I only just found the video.
Here it is.
And then the other one that we did was Bunnings when you were Santa.
So, you know what?
I think you're right.
We are due for another Copping Fit Chicken.
We'll do that in the next couple of weeks, if not next week.
Also, I want to do a Witch Mitch, another Witch Mitch, because the people know who we
are.
Do you remember that segment?
Yeah.
So, rejig your memory.
I'm pretty sure it's still here.
Well, Jenna has to do that.
And she's resigned as a producer.
Oh, yeah.
Jenna's just-
She goes around the office and she gets people to compliment.
They say, Mitch is really smart.
Mitch is really funny.
And we have to guess which one they were talking about.
And only she knows, because she was there. So, we don. And we have to guess which one they were talking about. And only she knows because she was there.
So we don't have a producer to do that.
Yeah, good point.
No, I don't want to do that.
I can do it.
I'll do something.
No, but then you'll know.
You have to guess which Mitch it was.
And if you're there getting the compliment, you'll know.
True, Jenna.
It's got to be you.
No, and they'll be like, oh, I have to say cheery.
I could get them to say it.
I'll say, hey, say a compliment for one of us,
then write it on this piece of paper and I'll never look.
All right.
You go first.
I'm not going to stop you.
I don't want to do it.
I'm over it.
I'm tired.
We should go, to be honest.
I've got to do my radio show.
We always record over time.
It always gets into my night's time slot.
If you were part of our Facebook group for AD debriefers only,
only listeners of the
secret segment,
the entry question is
what's the name of the
secret segment?
The answer is AD debrief.
It's a pun about
having ADD as in you
can't focus and
having a debrief.
Yeah, correct.
So if you join the group,
let us know who you think
we should coffee fit chicken
next week.
Yeah.
We could do Kyle.
Like do what
Bo Ryan couldn't. No, he's already had, okay, now we're stealing their ideas. Nah. Yeah. We could do Kyle. Like do what Bo Ryan couldn't.
No, he's already had.
Okay, now we're stealing their ideas.
Nah.
Nah.
Yeah, true.
The tail won't wag the dogs.
Kyle and Jackie O steal our brilliant ideas.
That's how it works, Annie.
When are you back to your job role?
I don't know.
You come work on my show.
We get Uber Eats and sort of have a little hangout together.
Hangout together.
You know what?
I was thinking we haven't hung out, you and I, in months.
Years.
No.
The last time we hung out was when we went to – where were you going?
What was it called?
We were at your house for the launch of IJM.
Oh, don't get me started on that.
I don't think I've ever spoken about that on here.
What?
As if it's the death of your husband?
No.
I've never spoken about the death of Graham.
No.
What happened was we thought it would be nice the night that we released the first three
episodes of this show.
Yes.
To actually.
Watch party.
Your idea.
It was my idea.
You said, maybe we should like have some friends around, have a few drinks, have like a little
celebration.
And I was like, oh no, I don't want to. I i'm gonna be so stressed from trying to produce it all down i'm
gonna be tired i'm just gonna want to relax you're like no no no we should we should we should have
friends around and i was like fine so i invited friends around to my place you showed up popped
a champagne bottle and then said so i forgot that it's hayden's mum's birthday and I've agreed to go to that. And you left before the guests arrived.
Someone showed up with a bottle of wine for you as a congratulations.
I've never got that wine.
I very embarrassingly had to say, he's abandoned his own launch party
because of his inability to plan.
No, I knew it was her birthday, but I didn't realise.
I thought her birthday was on the Friday, not the Saturday.
It was a Sunday.
I got confused.
It was a Sunday. I got confused. It was a Sunday.
I got confused, Jenna.
And I just said to you, I remember how I was like,
I didn't even want to do this.
I'm not pissed off because you didn't come.
I'm pissed off because I had to do it without you.
It was your idea.
I know.
I mean, nothing but wellness, you know.
Birthday!
But yeah, I don't think that even counts as us hanging out.
True. Why don't we hang out? Do you want to just chill no do a little boys no hanging out jenna we can
hang jenna and i've hung the last time i hung with you was seriously when we went to bury that time
that was so random our friendship had just begun and you weren't even i don't think you were even
dating hayden properly no we weren't he wasn't even on the scene at that point yeah fuck and
you've been here for over a year.
It's been over a year since we hung out.
We went to Berry.
I drove.
We got Berry donut vans.
We didn't buy the vans.
We bought donuts.
And we had so much fun.
That was like a date.
It wasn't.
Sorry.
No, it wasn't.
It was very date-like.
No, it wasn't.
Yeah, we drove to Berry.
I didn't think it was.
I didn't think it was a date either.
I didn't think it was a date.
I'm saying it was very date-like. That's my bloody Aspie playing date either. I didn't realise. I didn't think it was a date. I'm saying it was very date-like.
That's my bloody Aspie playing up again.
I didn't realise.
It wasn't a date.
Stupid my little Aspie.
I sometimes worry that people,
I'm very careful about the language we use around this co-host relationship.
I'm paranoid that people are going to think couple of Mitches means we're a couple.
No one has ever thought that.
I'm so worried. No, because couple of Mitches means we're a couple. No one has ever thought that. I'm so worried.
No, because couple of Mitches, actually a couple is more than,
it really should be a duo of Mitches.
Couple of Mitches insinuates more than two.
Oh, no, a couple means two.
Sorry, I think it's time to go.
Yeah.
Sorry, I didn't realise.
But also it's meant to be like, oh, you're a couple of bitches.
Yeah, I got it.
The original name for this podcast in my mind was Mitch Please.
I play on Bitch Please.
Yeah.
Mitch Please.
But you made the great point that it doesn't really point out
to what the podcast is.
It doesn't explain.
Yeah, and also I don't think you came up with an idea
for what the podcast was.
You just said, you just came up with the name.
And then I was like, what are we doing?
You're like, Dana, yeah. I up with the name. And then I was like, what are we doing? You're like, Dana yet?
I agree with you there.
Shut up, Jenna.
Anyway.
We really should get out of here.
Yep.
It's been a great show.
I'm exhausted.
You know what?
I can never do this show right before my own Kissed show because I get so exhausted.
Would it be easier if, because you know how in order to record,
I have to stay back late after work.
Yeah.
Maybe if you stay back late after work, I come in early.
We record at 3 a.m.
Meet in the middle.
We could actually.
Well, that's a good idea.
But Jenna wouldn't be here.
She's got to pick up me.
Imagine how different this podcast would be if we were up at 3 a.m.
We'd be like, fucking hell.
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't function.
You know, the other night I fell asleep at 3.
This is getting very boring.
It's been a great week. We will see you next week. Maybe the Covington chicken. I couldn't function. You know, the other night I fell asleep at three. This is getting very boring. It's been a great week.
We will see you next week.
Maybe the Coffing Fit Chicken.
I think we should have another guest.
I really liked having Ruby on.
Do you know what's funny?
We were planning to get the guys that do the podcast,
Oh Dear, on the show.
Still planning to get them, Morgan and Mary.
And they are so fucking lovey-dovey all over Instagram
about how good of friends they are.
Ruby and Jack, also very good friends.
And then we've just talked about the fact that we haven't hung out for over a year.
We're friends.
And we are friends.
We're the type of friends that don't need to fucking flaunt it.
We actually are very close.
Do you know what the truth of the matter is?
It's just that you've got different priorities to meet.
You've got family in Sydney and you're in a relationship.
Those two things come first.
All I've got is my friends. So I spend time with them all the time but you're with your family and your
boyfriend very true so i never see you between having a very close family um a loving relationship
with your partner and a fucking national radio show and a tendency to nap all day yep and i love
food i've got to have my six meals a day. And this podcast, I have no time to do anything.
I really don't.
And I've just joined TikTok.
I hit 50,000 views.
I know for you that's nothing.
That's a drop in the water.
3.3 million, but whatever.
Yeah, but Jen are doing her bloody WSFM videos.
Yeah, so?
Still waiting for you to follow me back.
I follow you.
I sent you a gif last night.
No, you did not.
No, you did not. Mitch, how did our
TikTok go? 36.1
thousand. The one that you, me and Ruby made last
week. Is that okay considering your ratio or
is that low? It's one of my low performers.
It's violent. No, that's alright. No, not really.
I actually put up the original video. Fuck,
every time I go on here, I
put that up.
Oh, that's weird. That's not TikTok material. No, they hated it.
Everyone hated it. How many views? 286. Oh, that's weird. That's not TikTok material. No, they hated it. Everyone hated it. How many views?
286.
See, this is why TikTok's weird.
We should go, but I'm just going to keep talking.
My lowest viewed video on TikTok is 16.3 thousand views.
If I got 16.3 thousand on my Facebook page, I'd be like, I'm happy with that.
Yeah, no, I feel you.
It's really weird how TikTok works.
Yeah, the TikTok algorithm is odd.
I was talking, I don't know who I was talking to about it, but I'm like, how does a good video do well?
Is it because the content's good?
Is that how it works?
Or is it the hashtags you use?
Like, how does it get seen?
Bit of both.
That's odd, isn't it?
Yeah, bit of both.
You've been to TikTok headquarters, haven't you?
Have you been to Facebook headquarters?
No, I had a meeting with their two reps, though.
Do you win?
I don't know, a couple of months ago.
Can I come?
Oh, you've had, sorry.
I had.
Yeah, I already had it.
Yeah.
We go way back.
I could have gone.
Linley and Chow, something, I don't know.
Linley and Chow!
Oh, you know, there's this guy who works in this building,
and someone said, this is Chaplin. When I first met him.
Oh, I like Chaplin.
He's lovely, but I thought he was the work chaplain.
What's a chaplain?
A priest.
A priest.
Oh, I thought it was someone for therapy or something.
And he does wear a collared shirt.
He looks like a priest.
So I remember someone being like, who is that?
I'm like, that's our chaplain.
And they used to be like, oh, okay.
But I have told a dozen people that he's the work chaplain.
But no, his name is Chaplin. It's like someone's name being doctor. I'm like, oh, okay. But I have told a dozen people that he's the work chaplain. But no, his name is chaplain.
It's like someone's name being doctor.
I'm like, that's the doctor. He's like, no, my name
is doctor. D-O-C-D-O-R.
Anyway, we need to go. We'll be back next week.
Major episode. Follow us on Instagram
at Mitch Sturey, at Mitchell Coombs, at Fish
Girl. They're all our official
handles. And at underscore McClouds
underscore daughters underscore fan underscore
page. I'll see you this time next week, Mitchell, and at no other time.
Sounds like that Karl Stefanovic film that got absolutely axed.
Film?
Karl Stefanovic film.
No, that TV show where he.
I'm so shitty that I can't edit this nonsense.
This is going to be the longest episode ever.
Do you remember he used to do that show and it was this time next year.
He talked to someone and then they'd cut the interview right at the end
and then they'd come back a year later
and have them back. And it was always like
Hi, my name's Belle. I have stage
four cancer. The doctor doesn't think I'm going to make it.
And they'd make it very dramatic and then she'd
come back a year later. And then she comes back and goes, I was lying
but I've sold all these cookbooks.
I love how you said Belle and stage four cancer.
Too good. You know Belle Gibson?
Of course I do. Yeah, that's the reference I was making.
Oh, was it? No, your
face just said that was an accident. Wouldn't it be funny
if he had his wife on to have a loving interview
and then a year later he's like, she's left me.
So the show's over
because they got divorced. Or he's
like, we're talking to the ratings of the Today Show. It's going
really well. A year later, we've been cancelled.
Sylvia Jeffries now works at a local Audi
packing bags.
God, she's quick.
Audi bags Why do you have to pack your own fucking bags
I think we've talked about this on the show
Have we?
It's so god damn big
I love that we've hit that point
That we've forgotten what we've already talked about
That means we've been going on for a while
Joe says we have episode 3
Hey Mitch what happened on episode 13

Oh, yeah.
We actually should bring that back.

She was the face of berry juice and she always says it.
My mum with Bogengate showgirl.
I was the face of berry juice before it had preservatives.
The good old days when it was real juice.
Anyway, she only shops at Aldi and makes all these beautiful Dutch treats.
And one of them is salmon mixed with mayonnaise, mixed with tuna, mixed with just chopped up pickle.
And then she just puts it on like a cracker and we eat it.
And I took Hayden there for the first time to hang out with her and I made him eat it.
It was so funny.
Terrible story.

Now it's my fault that we're dragging on.

Going to Aldi.

I pick out their rip-off products.
I tell you the name and you have to figure out what they're ripping off.
Oh, that's bloody brilliant.
Like cocoa balls.
Yeah, I like that.
What's that?
Cocoa balls.
Okay.
Some of them are really easy, like wheat biscuits.
What about preschool shock?
Kid to surprise.
Prep startle.
Baby boo.
Okay.
No, this is an even funner game.
We come up with the real product and we give Aldi suggestions
on what they could call it instead so that they don't get sued.
So like Milo could be...
Flavoured dirt!
Sweet coffee grounds!
Brown sugar!
That's a thing!
Brown sugar exists!
