Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello, you. Hello, you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Did you know this? An apple has the same caffeine as a full one-shot coffee.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Bullshit. Are you serious? Yeah, I'm going to Google it now. What is it? It says there is no caffeine in the house. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Oh, hello you. Oh, hello sweetie. You a bit crook, are ya?
Starting point is 00:00:37 Oh my God. I'm hoping I don't sound bad. Do I sound sick? Do I sound riddled with COVID like I am? Really, actually. Because the way you made it out to us when you were telling us i'm so sick i thought you'd be on your fucking deathbed i thought right i'm on my own i'm gonna have to get a fill-in host or something but like
Starting point is 00:00:54 you're surprisingly looking okay yeah thank you well this is the um this is the third time i've had covert and it's the end of my like seven day run with it. So I am feeling the best I've been, but I'm at home. I've got some tales to tell about this, my third run with COVID. Great name for a novel, actually. My third time, my third date with COVID. That's what my idjim's about this week. Oh, okay. We'll save it for your idjim. Yeah, but I'm home. I'm home with bloody COVID. How are you? You look, on the other hand, one Mitch is down and out, but you look, you're glowing and you look snatched. It's the BB cream, Del Mitch is down and out, but you're glowing. You look snatched.
Starting point is 00:01:26 It's the BB cream, Del. That's all it is. That's not what it is. They're paying the, like, Carrie Bickmore's the face of BB cream. You're the face of BB cream. Everyone, what is BB? Who is BB? I've got no idea what BB stands for, actually. Jenna's not even here.
Starting point is 00:01:37 I can't get it at Google. I'll have to do that myself. Yeah, Pricekeeper Jenna is not available. I've got COVID and I'm still here, but Prizekeeper Jenna, nowhere to be found. I know. She always seems to abandon us during our darkest moments when we might need to lean on someone for support. She wasn't here for your breakup announcement.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Yes. She wasn't here when I was detailing my myriad of assaults and the spiking. Yeah, multiples. Assaults, yeah. It's always when we're talking potentially personal and deep shit that she's never here as a loving friend, a loving shoulder to cry on. Yeah, and I hate to be that person, but she's gotten too comfortable with calling in sick.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Like, I've been off sick from work this whole week, and I've felt so guilty taking one, let alone five days off work. She doesn't give a shit. And she used to make up excuses. As we know, they'd be paragraphs along my cat, my stupid cat. But now it's I've got Pilates that clashes with the podcast. I won't be there. No, today she's actually got a work commitment on.
Starting point is 00:02:34 So I was like, that's fine. That's all good. Although she better be back in time for the Wednesday episode because, hey, while we're talking of it, coming up in our Wednesday episode, episode 172, we got someone suggesting in the Facebook group that Jenna, our third wheel, should start doing an Is It Just Me of her own. And before we even consider letting her do that on the Monday episode, which is, you know, the Is It Just Me episode, she's going to have to audition for us. So that'll happen on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Or will it? Who knows if she'll rock up? I've got real thoughts on this. I mean, listen, I just think it's, you wouldn't, you wouldn't get one of the contestants on MasterChef to get up and be a judge. That's all I'm saying. Okay. That's all I'm saying. You wouldn't get one of the biggest loser contestants to get up and host the show. And start training them. And start training. It's not what they're there for. And I'll happily be the Simon Cowell. I think we all have our role on this show.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Is that how you view our hierarchy? You see us as the hosts and Jenna as a contestant. Will she make it? Yeah, I shouldn't have used three reality show examples there. That's not exactly what I meant. Okay, you're at a doctor's surgery and the receptionist goes, hi, I'm going to administer your blood test. I'd be like, with all due respect, Melanie,
Starting point is 00:03:45 I don't want you to put an IV drip in my arm. I want the doctor to do that. Yeah, that's probably a better analogy in the medical field. But I'm open to an audition. I'll happily have my mind changed. So that's Wednesday's show. By the way, I'm sure you're stinging for an answer. BB stands for blemish balm.
Starting point is 00:04:02 What's – oh, BB cream. Yeah, BB cream. That's my COVID brain. I'm like, what's going onb cream yes bb cream that's my covid brain i'm like what's going on just going back to that earlier topic yeah blemish balm i just put it on because it like evens my skin tones and also it's got the spf 50 in it so it's the sunscreen or whatever so that's why i wear it and i'm not being paid a cent unlike carrie bickmore just so you know she's always flogging that bb cream she goes. The Garnier BB cream. Is it Garnier?
Starting point is 00:04:26 That's the one I use. Oh, because I've noticed, I think I've made that Carrie Bickmore joke to your face. Probably. I think it's so funny because she's always in all the ads. No, funny story. I recently coming, I went to, obviously tour is over, but the first show, the girls, Britt and Laura,
Starting point is 00:04:41 had all their makeup done and I was like, God, they look so good. And they're like, can I do you? So they did a bit of makeup on me, but like they couldn't colour match. Anyway, I felt so inadequate because like you know how to do your makeup if you want. I was like, I don't know how to do my makeup. Yeah, but when you have done and I've seen you in makeup, it looks flawless.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Oh, thank you. Because I'm really paranoid because to me, as someone who's clueless about makeup, I think I've done a great job, but then I worry that someone who is an expert at makeup will look at my face and go, he fucked it. He absolutely fucked that. That's a worry that I have also, but no, I have thought about your makeup many a time and it's always flawless. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And it's gotten better. Oh, thank you. I always aim for the, I'm not wearing makeup, makeup look. And I think I'll nail it. Yeah. Oh my God. Well, think I'll nail it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Well, that's what I wanted. So I went to Mecca and I sat in the little chair and a beauty therapist,
Starting point is 00:05:32 like, or a makeup artist, whatever they're called. You know how, like, at Subway they've got sandwich artists? At Mecca they're, like, beauty aficionados. Yeah, right. And they colour matched me. And she's like, do you want NARS? Do you want Anastasia Beverly Hills? Do you want Charlotte Tilbury? And they colour matched me. And she's like, do you want NARS? Do you want Anastasia Beverly Hills? Do you want Charlotte Tilbury?
Starting point is 00:05:47 And they colour matched me. Now I've got a concealer. Now I've got a setting spray, a blush, and I have all the makeup that's colour matched to me and I can use it like a pro. Why was your colour so tricky to match your white? No, let me tell you, Mitchell. If anyone wants to know, Google NARS tiramisu.
Starting point is 00:06:04 That is my colour of tiramisu. Of course it's fucking food. I'm like, oh, I'm so happy with being Nas tiramisu. Have you got some fucking strawberry lamington lip gloss to go with it? How do you spell tiramisu? I'm trying to Google this. T-I-R-A, misu. Misu was the bit that I was struggling with.
Starting point is 00:06:29 That's so unhelpful. M-A-S-U, tiramisu. It just brings up tiramisu recipes. No. Well, anyway, I'm tiramisu and it goes under my eyes and I feel so hot and flawless. So that's my little makeup story for the week. You need to stop gatekeeping all of your skincare remedies.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I've asked you so many times, what the fuck's retinol? Because you mention it all the time. Don't even know what it is. And I need to do something about my under eye bags. Okay. You need to check yourself here because I'm going to call you out. I sent you a video. I've sent you.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I'm going to get it up now. I'm going to play it. Ready? This is a video I sent Mitchell i've sent you i'm gonna get it up now i'm gonna play it ready this is a video i sent mitchell three weeks ago ready i showed i promised you i'd show you but i never did now i'm remembering this is the retinol that i use there you go i sent you a video hang on mitchell hang on no your reply too confusing well i stand by that but also at what point did you explain what retinol is you just said this is my retinol i'm'm like, no, that wasn't my question. Well, it's not my job to explain what these things do. I'm just telling you what I use.
Starting point is 00:07:30 That's what I wanted to know. What do you use it for? Mitchell, I don't know. I'll just put it on. How did you get onto it in the first place if you don't even know what the fuck it is? My sister, TikTok, the girls at Mecca, the beauty aficionados. I see. No, to be fair, I did watch that video and I wrote down all of your recommendations
Starting point is 00:07:50 and like found links to them so that next time I run out, I can buy the shit you recommended. But I don't know what retinol is. I'm not going to go pissing away money if I don't even know what it does. God, I'll Google it. I'll wait there. What is retinol? I will say, even though my under-eye bags are my biggest insecurity,
Starting point is 00:08:05 I saw a baby photo of me when I was back home in Bogengate. And even at not even one year old, I had eye bags. I was like, okay, maybe it's genetic because I was thinking, oh, I'm so slack with this skincare. Look at the state of my bags. But I've had them since birth. I've just been perpetually tired my whole life. Mitchell, you don't even have eye bags.
Starting point is 00:08:27 You need to relax. Yeah, I've got concealer on them today. That's why it doesn't look like it. Here we go. What is retinol? It minimises fine lines and wrinkles by plumping the skin, clears clogged pores, brightens the complexion, treats acne, refines skin texture, fades sunspots and improves skin elasticity.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Okay. How can one thing do so much yeah but i thought that serum did all that shit see it's confusing yeah i know i've got so much i got a hyaluronic acid i got a nicosemide i've got a retinol are you making this shit up or is they are they legit products they're legit products wow they're real yeah they're real my skincare routine i think there's like a eight-part daily skincare routine. Four serums in the morning, four at night. I mean, maybe this is a discussion for off the cloud, but if you could condense that
Starting point is 00:09:11 and tell me which one out of the eight can afford to be sacrificed, because I can't be fucking around with eight steps. I'll lose interest, especially when you have to wait for them all to dry. True. No, well, that's why I turn the blow dryer on. It dries your serums. I'm not joking. I stand there buck naked with my blow dryer blowing me.
Starting point is 00:09:27 So to speak. I haven't actually tried that hack yet, but I do remember you mentioning that and I was like, amazing. Because I try and time my routine around letting certain things dry. Like I'll put the serum on and then I'll do my hair, brush my teeth, and then hope to fuck that in the time it's taken me to kill time, it's dried, and then the moisturizer. I'm the same. I'll get out of the shower, put one serum on, run to the bathroom, put my pajamas on, and in my brain I go, well, in that time that it's drying, I'm putting my pajamas on.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'm being productive. Exactly. Work smart, not hard, mate. Totally. Also, you haven't noticed, Mitchell. Yeah. I'm doing Movember. Oh, you are too.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Do you like it? I don't dislike it, but I hadn't noticed it because your face was behind the mic. Are you really going to commit to that for the whole of November? I'm doing it for the whole month. I would have expected it to be a bit longer by now. Actually, no, it is still early, isn't it? Nine days. Yeah, this is a week long.
Starting point is 00:10:25 It was actually a COVID thing. I didn't start. I actually haven't even created a webpage. I'm not doing it officially. I'm just like growing it for the month. Actually, maybe I shouldn't say I'm doing Movember and not raise any money. Maybe I should make a webpage. That's like me saying, I'm going to be brave and shave and people go, good on you. Where can I donate? And I'm like, no, I just meant personally, I'm going to be brave. I'm like, no, I just meant personally, I'm going to be brave. I'm not raising money for cancer or anything. That's actually a really good point. I didn't think that through. I'm here to say I'm not doing Movember.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Now you've dug yourself a hole. Is that really the only part of your facial hair that grows? Just that part? No, I'm shaving my beard around it. Oh, right. I thought you said it was a COVID thing. No, no, it was. So about two days ago, I'm like, my facial hair is out of control. I want to see what I look like with a moustache. So I kept the moustache and then I'm like, oh, it's Movember. Maybe I'll just do it for fun.
Starting point is 00:11:13 But you're right. I can't say that I'm doing it and then not actually do it. No, because then you've got to stick with it until the end of November. It is. Anyway, listen. How many fucking November puns are you going to try and commit to? We've got Mugvember. Our mug's on sale.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Movember. Movember sounds better than mugvember. Hey, we've been over this. There's no other month that works better for mugs. We've tried. We've tried. Muffvember would be good if we were selling, you know, clip piercings. But unfortunately, the manufacturer couldn't get them done in time.
Starting point is 00:11:41 By the way, can I just say on on that note the mugs are selling like hot cakes we've already sold out the first batch in the first week but that's fine they're not done and dusted we can order more um so yeah keep the mug orders coming they're only open until the end of november so make sure you get your your teal era mug ordered before it's too late i know well let's start the show. If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show with an Is It Just Me? Mitch doesn't know mine.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I don't know Mitch's. And it's something we've noticed, hate or appreciate. Correct. That COVID fog's playing up, isn't it? It really is. And with my normal brain fog plus COVID brain fog, my brain is just blue mountains, covered in fog. I will say that my age in today is about something my parents are pressuring me to do, and like any time they try to get me
Starting point is 00:12:33 to do anything, I'm fucking pushing back, baby. Good, good. Okay, I'm ready for my age in. Should I jump in? All right, let's go. Is it just me or? Is getting COVID in 2023, 2024 more embarrassing than it is worrying kind of my response when you told me that you have covered was fuck what year is it and also it was a bit triggering because i was like i forgot that that was a problem that people
Starting point is 00:13:00 can still have yes 100 i have it and and i the first time i got covered was i documented it heavily on here my partner at the time was allergic essentially died on christmas day like actually coded we had to call an ambulance they had to like resuscitate him bring him back to life take him to hospital on christmas day i then tested positive i then thought i was gonna die and at the time that was the scariest thing because it was like someone we know has covid oh my god that's so dramatic but now i'm just like you'll be right there was an article remember it was like beloved radio presenter obese talker test positive for covid and it was a whole thing and then now i've had it once i've had it twice this is my third time and it's probably a good thing that
Starting point is 00:13:45 it's becoming part of our life and thank god for the vaccines etc but um I am not as anxious about it I'm more embarrassed to the point where like I had hooked up with someone the day before the day really I tested that night because I thought I'm sniffly I should probably test and I hooked up with someone wait wait when did you When do you reckon you got COVID? Well, I got it on tour. The final show was in Brisbane and Laura, my co-host. And when was that? That was Wednesday night.
Starting point is 00:14:13 She tested positive. Her husband tested positive. Our friend and producer, Keisha, tested positive. Everyone on the tour fell on Thursday. I didn't test because I didn't feel sick. I came in. But wait, Thursday, Thursday last week when we recorded the podcast, remember you kept coughing off mic and you were complaining about a scratchy throat and I tried to find
Starting point is 00:14:34 some strepsils for you, but I'd run out. Oh my God. I completely forgot it. And I thought the cough was muted. Yeah. But your cough was just that fucking bellowing that even with the mic off we all we all heard it well it's covered and we didn't know about it but how did i not catch it from you especially because we made out after the show you're exactly right well that's also my point
Starting point is 00:14:56 i yeah hooked up with someone on the friday and it was fine and they still don't have it they've tested every day and it's been a week since. I mean, we're recording on Thursday again. It's bizarre. No one is getting it around me. Wow. That's interesting. You're just not contagious. Well, you know what I found funny?
Starting point is 00:15:14 Do you remember the feeling? And anyone who went through that COVID panic like we're talking about in like the 2020s and 2021, where you'd get a rat test and they'd go, you put it up your nose, you put it in your throat, you drop it into the little droplet thing thing and then you'd wait 15 minutes and you'd be looking at that thing and the line would start to emerge at about the 10 minute mark and then it would be thick and black honestly the two times i've had covid i didn't even have to wait 10 minutes it was almost instant the line appeared that's my point i almost i so much as touched the rat test. I looked at it and I was like, blackfic, two lines. I'm like, oh my God, I am COVID.
Starting point is 00:15:50 COVID is in my DNA. It's running through my body. Do you remember in the early days of COVID, it was like, oh, someone sniffled. It could be COVID. These days, to me, it's so obvious if I've got COVID or not. Do you remember how earlier this year I had to cancel or postpone, I should say, I had to postpone my Melbourne International Comedy Festival show because I got COVID. Yeah. Those shows were going to be on the weekend.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I woke up on a Wednesday at like 3 a.m. and I just thought to myself, nah, I've got COVID. And then I just went back to sleep. Like I just recognised it because it's such a unique sickness. I knew it was COVID. And then, of course, when I woke up, I felt like dog shit. And I was like, I probably don't even need to test. But just as a mere formality, I'll get a friend to drop a test off.
Starting point is 00:16:31 But I know it's COVID. Yeah. The body aches and they're like moving my eyes. I was sore moving my eyes. And it's like this general like, oh, my God, I'm so sore. Yeah. The sore throat was the worst. Anyway, it's not woe is me. I'm very lucky that I'm so sore. Yeah. The sore throat was the worst. Anyway, it's not woe is me.
Starting point is 00:16:45 I'm very lucky that I'm on the other side. And it's just such a weird experience to go something that we were all so terrified of two years ago. Now I'm just living in my house. It's absolutely bizarre. Well, yeah, like I said earlier this year when I went, I think I've got COVID. I just went back to sleep. I was like, it's fine. Seriously.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I'll go on another hook. I was like, it's fine. Seriously. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I'll go on another hookup. Why not? May as well. And so have you done another test? Because I didn't admit this at the time because I had to postpone shows and people were pissed off at me, but I tested that weekend and by Saturday I was testing negative. So I only had it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And so I technically could have done my Melbourne shows, but by that point, we'd already postponed it. And so I went could have done my Melbourne shows, but by that point we'd already postponed it. And so I went out on Saturday and someone saw me out there night and goes,
Starting point is 00:17:29 aren't you supposed to be home with COVID because you can't do your shows? And I was like, shh, don't fucking tell anyone in Melbourne, but I'm fine now. It's a technicality. Now I get this, I tested positive on Friday and it's Thursday today and I'm still testing positive. Oh, so you are still testing positive. Yeah, and I'm still symptomatic.
Starting point is 00:17:44 So that's why I haven't done any radio shows all week because of COVID policy. It's Thursday today and I'm still testing positive. Oh, so you are still testing positive. Yeah, and I'm still symptomatic. So that's why I haven't done any radio shows all week because of COVID policy. Oh, so this is the only broadcasting you've done all week? This is the only time my voice has been shared to the Australian people this week. You're welcome. Everyone has woken up going, we need Mitchell Turi's thoughts on hot topics.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Where is he? We need him most. I'm flattered that you still wanted to do the podcast because I said to you, I'm guessing you won't be doing the show and you said, of course I am. Yeah, no, I wouldn't have missed it. No way. No way. Too many fill-in shows this year.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I'm dedicated to – what's the name of the show again? This is the pick-up, right? No. It's called Is It Just Me? Thanks to Chemist's Warehouse. Oh. Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. All right, coming up in our next episode, episode 172. Like I said,
Starting point is 00:18:36 we're going to be auditioning Jen's Is It Just Me to see if she has what it takes to do it on the Monday episode. But also coming up, one of our most beloved fast food outlets has made a big change. Oh, God, you're frozen. Oh, Mitchell. Oh, I've lost him. Oh, here we go. The internet has survived this whole time. You just froze on me as I was talking.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Was I frozen in a hot position? I've been trying to pose the whole time in case this happened. Your eyes were sort of glazed over. I thought he's just lost interest in our Wednesday episode. If he doesn't give a fuck, why should anyone else? No, it's my internet. Sorry. Can you see me? You can hear me? Yes, I can hear you. I can also hear the fucking birds outside. What's going on? Oh, can you hear that? Yes. I'm in a soundproof studio, mate. It can't be on this end. Oh, that's true. No, there's – yeah, well, I'm at my house with my parents. They're living, like, near the beach,
Starting point is 00:19:32 and there's just sea eagles flying outside the window. I can't believe that they're that loud that you can hear it on your microphone because that thing is noise cancelling. It is noise cancelling. Also, all the doors are shut so I can see the birds. They're frolicking in the pool. Oh, I see. Go shoo them, please.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Sorry. Hey! Oi! Rack off! Thanks. There you go. No worries. Sorry, Wednesday episode.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I'm so excited. Yeah. I will say, one dropout, that's pretty good. Do you remember when I was working from home in 2021 for like three or four months? Yeah. That was a bit of a fucking nightmare. You wouldn't know listening because I edited out whenever the internet dropped out but oh my god it was such a pain seriously like i those days were horrendous and we tried we made them work but they were hard there is zero delay
Starting point is 00:20:14 between us right now ready you finish i'll count to five and you finish it ready one okay two three finish where you just keep counting i thought there was a really bad lag no i thought you meant you were gonna get to five sorry no this is how you test the delay between people i'll count to five but as in i'll get to three and you take over okay sorry i didn't get you know i probably explained it like a cockhead my apologies all right ready one two three four five that's stunning it's like we're in the same room with each other. I know, it's beautiful, except I can't smell your B.O. Best of both worlds, darling. I hope this can nip the allegations in the bud for the final time
Starting point is 00:20:58 that we do actually get along. Yeah, of course. Yeah. You know, there are some radio shows in this country where the hosts despise each other and they still have to record with each other every day and they fake it. Oh, yeah. It's always celebrated as some miracle when people say, and your radio show, you guys as a duo, you genuinely get along, don't you? It's like, yeah, you'd fucking hope so. You'd fucking want to.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Yeah. All the time you spend together. We see each other more than we see, you know, family members. Yeah, totally. Anyway, as I was saying, our next episode, 172, pardon me. Oh, God, this episode is off. We've got fucking birds chirping. You're farting too much.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That wasn't a fart. I just had a sip of sparkling water. Imagine if I insinuated it was a fart, you didn't call it out, and everyone just thought you farted into the microphone. Do you know what? Wednesday's episode, forget about it. I've tried so many times. Something will happen. No, no. I agree with you. There is a massive change coming to one of the country's most beloved fast food restaurants. It's not good. And this change will divide us as a team, I believe. Well, there's been division in this podcast before and we've gotten through and we will continue to persevere.
Starting point is 00:22:09 This won't stop us. I think I'm going to have a very different opinion on this major fast food change than everyone would expect me to. Put it that way. Okay, all right, all right. Well, that's coming up on Wednesday's episode. Why don't you do your original? Yep, I'm ready.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Let's go. Cue me in, please, Bradley. Is it just me or? Do you have no desire to own property because it sounds too fucking stressful? Oh, God, you've read my mind. Well, you know, this is your region, but, you know, where I'm at, I'm at home with my parents and the plan was six months at home and then I'm going to start looking at maybe buying or renting
Starting point is 00:22:45 and I've started that process and I've stopped it very quickly because it's a mindfuck. I do recall you telling me that I had permission to start nagging you if you hadn't moved out of your parents' place by October, November. But for once in my goddamn life, I've read the room, I don't think you're in the headspace to be nagged right now so you just take your time keep keep reading that room and move on yes you're right why are you looking at buying a house well no not at all it is so far from being on my radar right and so what's
Starting point is 00:23:17 happened is my bloody little brother has just bought his own place with his girlfriend in newcastle baby mark yes mark is now a property fucking owner and the thing with that is that obviously my sister already was her and her husband have owned their place for years yeah and it was similar to when nicole was the only married one mark and i my brother and i were both single and so she was the odd one out and then all of a sudden when mark got a girlfriend, I was like, fuck, I'm the token single. But now that Heath just bought a place, I'm the token renter, and you bet your ass that mum and dad are putting the pressure on for me to buy a place now.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Oh, I get you. But first of all, fucking plumbing must be bringing in the bag. Carpentry. Good on you. Oh, carpentry. Well, he did your parents' bathroom, didn't he? Yeah, he built it. He didn't do the plumbing for it.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Oh, okay. Yeah. Shows what I know. Good on him. Okay, so when you went back to the farm for the Bogengate shows, what did your parents, did they sit you down and go, mate, it's time? It wasn't like an intervention, but Mark made the call.
Starting point is 00:24:21 We knew that he was looking to buy a property, and he made the call back home to say, we got it. It's all locked in. It's happening. And mum was like, oh, I'm so happy for you, mate. And then as soon as mum got off the phone, do you want to know what she said to me?
Starting point is 00:24:36 What? She said, maybe when you and Sean decide to get your act together, you can buy a place and live with each other. Excuse me? Get our act together and buy a place. I was like, well, the only way that's going to happen is if you die, which can absolutely be arranged if you take that tone with me again, Jane. You watch your mouth.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Very true. Wow, the shade. I know. We don't even live together. Don't you rent first and then buy a place? Isn't that how it works? Mark and his girlfriend lived together for two years before they bought a place. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:25:12 I mean, you know, he's still fucking a squishmallow every night. You've got to make sure you've got priorities to work out. No, in my head, you need to live together first because, trust me, living together is very different to dating someone. Exactly. Very different. By the way, side note, you mentioned Squishmallows. You know what Sean said to me when I was staying at home in Bogangate and he was back in Sydney?
Starting point is 00:25:32 What? He said to me, oh, I miss you. I don't have you or your Squishmallow. Where was the Squishmallow? At my place, but I was in Bogangate. Oh, and he was at his place? Yes. Oh, God, did you slap him across the face?
Starting point is 00:25:45 He knows that I'm jealous of that stupid thing, so he says it just to piss me off. But, no, I agree with you, getting back to the point. What if we don't survive living together in a rental? We can't be buying a place and then moving into it, can we? Surely. Mitchell, Mitchell, listen, speak. I speak as someone who has done it.
Starting point is 00:26:04 I lived with a partner for three years and I thought marriage was going to happen. I thought the house was going to happen and it all fell to pieces. Do not buy something with your partner until it's been tried and tested. Please, please. I don't plan to, but that's not even my biggest concern. It's not even about buying a place with Sean. It's just buying a place in fucking general it just sounds like a lot of effort because mum and dad were saying come on
Starting point is 00:26:31 mate you could look for an apartment in your complex you could just stay where you're living blah blah blah and this is they've been nagging long before mark bought a place but now that he has it there's even more pressure on me yeah they, they've upped it. Yeah. And they said, we know a solicitor that can help you with all the legal stuff. I said, what the fuck? Solicitor? Why are there solicitors involved with buying a place? Don't you just need a real estate agent and heaps of money? Isn't that how it works? Oh my God. Can I tell you, every person, every man and their dog has a solicitor friend. I went to brunch with another friend my age and she's like, listen, have you thought about getting into the market? I've got a great mortgage buyer.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I'm like, I don't have a great mortgage buyer. How do you all know these people? I don't even know what that shit is. I've got no idea. Why is there a solicitor involved? Already, for me, too many cooks in the kitchen and fucking frankly, I don't feel like cooking. I might just order a porto.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Seriously, once you start throwing in the technical jargon around property like fucking rates and stamp duty, fucking strata, all that stuff, it's just too much. It just sounds like a lot of admin, mortgages, a lot of stress. I just can't be bothered dealing with it. I'm happy being a renter. I agree. Then they go, oh, the RBA have raised interest rates. I'm like, my interest rates couldn't be fucking lower in the topic.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I've got no interest. I'm quite comfy with interest rates not affecting me one bit at the moment. Me too. You know, a friend of mine, she works full time and she owns her apartment. She had to take on extra freelance work on top of a full time job because of the interest rates. And I was like, I'm just quite happy with that shit not affecting me at the moment. Totally, totally. I don't know if we're ever going to be able to do it. It's so fucking expensive. Mum and dad, I don't know if it's because in their generation when they were my age,
Starting point is 00:28:22 it was piece of piss, minor place. I don't think they understand that it's easier said than done it's so unfair our parents sold a fucking potato and did a jig on the street and and bought a house and now it's worth millions plus it's very hard this the standard isn't the same but also i don't want to buy an apartment because a friend of mine owns not even an apartment it's like like a villa, you know. It's its own standalone place but it's in a sort of complex and they are still, even though they own their place, they are still beholden to fucking strata.
Starting point is 00:28:55 They got in trouble from strata for putting Christmas lights and decorations and shit on their own house. They fucking own it. Yeah, strata is next level. You pay per quarter. There's four quarters in a year. I mean, everyone knows that but you it's ridiculous but do you know what strata is like the strata fees are no it's very confusing though strata is like um strata's like you pay and then that then goes to say for example the lift breaks or they need to repaint the building on the outside
Starting point is 00:29:22 everyone's already paid for it because you're paying strata. But then don't strata only really take care of, my grandmother was telling me that if she has some sort of damage to the outside of her house, strata will step in. But on the inside, they're like, you're on your own, bitch. Yes, that's true. Oh, well, what's the point? I know. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:29:38 It's all too much. I don't go outside. I know, Mitch. That's why I'm happy with mum and dad. They're the only people I've got to deal with. It's fantastic. Yeah, I don't think you should rush into buying a place, but surely you can get a rental.
Starting point is 00:29:47 You need to experience living on your own as a single man. That's a different discussion. You're a fucking bachelor, Pat. How fun will that be? Do you think it'd be fun? Actually, I haven't had the living alone, being single experience either because I've only just moved out into my own place. Well, it was actually a year ago, but I was with Sean already.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Oh, my God, you haven't. Sean, if you're listening, you're dumped dumped i am excited for a single bachelor era but also i'm dating people and the whole point of dating others is to get into a relationship so i need to stop dating because like there's been multiple conversations with people where i've had to go we could either be something or we have to end it i don't like it so like what's the point of dating if you're not going to end up with someone? Do you know what I mean? It's counterintuitive.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I think you know the answer to that question. What's the point of dating if not to end up in a relationship? To fuck. Oh, to fuck. Yes, you're right. You're right. Good point. Good point.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I've got to write that one down, actually. That's a good point. Anyway, I'm glad we're on the same page about buying property to sounding too overwhelming. Although maybe I'm doing that thing I often do where I kind of, it's more overwhelming in my head than it actually is in practice. Cause that's what deters me. Apart from the fact that I can't fucking afford it. I'm just like, it's too hard. And so I put in our Facebook group asking if we have any real estate idiots and we had Simran give me her number. So I told her I'm going to call, but I didn't tell her what I'm calling about, really.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I just kind of need to figure out how tricky is the process of buying a place. Is it as straightforward as me just calling her and saying, hey, I want a property. Give it. Yeah. Do you take BSB in account over the phone? Totally. I think buying a house should be as easy as buying a pizza. So let's see how the process is.
Starting point is 00:31:23 All right. Let's give Sim a ring. Hello, Simmering speaking. Hi, Simmering. How are you? Good, thank you. How are you? Yeah, good. Listen, I was wanting to buy a property. Thank you. Okay. Do you have a property in mind? No. No. Just looking at any property? Yes. I'd just like one. No. No, just looking at any property? Yes, I'd just like one. Okay. I can't just give you one, but I can let you know the process of buying one.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Do I want to know, Simran? I think you do. If you are looking at buying a property, I think it's always good to know what you're up against. Yeah. All right. So let's just say for instance sake, it was that straightforward. I call the real estate and say, give me a property. What's the next step? Okay, so the next step is usually they'd ask you what your offer is. They'll give you a price guide. So let's say it is $1 million to $1.1 million. And then you'll give your offer in.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Usually we'd need it in writing and we'd present it to the owner. That's confusing. Once the owner has approved it, we'll send you an email letting you know congratulating you. Then we'd require some admin from you. What, that wasn't enough admin? No, that was not. Then we'd need your ID, driver's license.
Starting point is 00:32:45 You'd have to contact your solicitor and get them to review a contract. Right. And then from there, your solicitor will let you know whether or not to go ahead, if there's any problems that you need to be aware of. What sort of problems would the solicitor be like, no, don't go ahead? So a lot of new apartments, if they're not built correctly or if they have issues with the builder at the moment, a lot of new buyers would be left with the expenses.
Starting point is 00:33:16 That's something we're facing, you know, we have a lot of at the moment. But if they say it's all good, you can go ahead. We'll just require your ID and then we'll send out your contract to you. So from there it would be a starting deposit. So at our office we do initial deposit of 0.25%. I don't even know what any of that means. What are you talking about? And then once the property has gone through what we call a cooling off period,
Starting point is 00:33:45 so it's usually like a five-day cooling off period, which means any time during those five days if you find something out or you change your mind, you can withdraw from the contract and fail. Okay. But you will, depending on how the solicitors and the vendors are feeling, you will lose that 0.25%. That's your only downside of that bit. Fucking.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Simran, I will be completely and utterly honest with you. I appreciate you coming on. I'm sure you've been very thorough and very informative. However, I've completely lost interest because that's just too much for me. That is all too much. Yeah, it is a lot. It's very wordy and that's why it's always easier to have a solicitor to go over everything and then they'll be able to just, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:36 kind of simplify everything for you so that way you're only sending in your ID and you're just paying and signing. Even one of the first steps you said was like putting an offer in writing. I'm like, oh, fuck, can't I just send a voice message? Totally, writing. Who has a pen and paper? No, it's not that easy. What about ask if a Snapchat is official, if I can send a Snapchat?
Starting point is 00:34:56 Oh, Mitch wants to know if a Snapchat counts. It could. Like a thumbs up. As long as it's not inappropriate. As long as it's writing on the screen, it needs to be in writing. Okay. Pretty much, yeah. And it's not like one of those one-second ones where, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:10 we lose it straight away. Yeah, okay. Of course, of course. All right. Sim, appreciate your time. You have pretty much made up my mind that I truly can't be fucked going through with any of this. And also, I can't even afford it.
Starting point is 00:35:21 So why are they pressuring me? No, yeah. My parents are doing the exact same thing and they know I can't afford it as well So why are they pressuring me? No, yeah. My parents are doing the exact same thing and they know I can't afford it as well. And I work in the real estate industry, so there's no way I'm doing anything at the moment. I will say, Sim, in my experience, every real estate agent I've dealt with has been a shocking person. But you sound fun. I'm going to keep your number for when the time comes. You can help me through it. Of course. No problem. I know the best people as well.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Oh, God, isn't she gorgeous? She sounds great, Simmering. Simmering. You guys have a really good day, and if you need any help, you have my number. Oh, she sounds like a real estate agent. Listen to her. Sorry, I've got Mitch Cheery in one ear and you in the other, Sim.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I'm not ignoring you. You have a beautiful day too, my love. Thank you. Thanks, Mihal. See you, Simmering. Oh, bless her. Oh, nah, I'm not doing it. I'm happy to be your renter.
Starting point is 00:36:11 If I didn't have a fucking COVID migraine before, I definitely do now. Confusing. Do you know the other fear about buying a place? I just, as a renter, I kind of like having the knowledge in the back of my head that at any given point I can just decide, fuck it, I'm moving to Karratha. If I buy a place, isn't that kind of like setting down roots or whatever you call it?
Starting point is 00:36:33 My dad did say to me, don't panic. The worst that can happen, you just sell it and leave. And I'm like, that sounds like more fucking admin. Totally. Fucking hell, that is stressful. No, I'm happy with mum and dad more fucking admin. Totally. Fucking hell. That is stressful. No, I'm happy with mum and dad. You're happy with renting.
Starting point is 00:36:49 We keep on keeping on. I still think you should move out and get a rental, but that's another conversation. We're out of time for the day. That's unfortunate. We're all out of time to discuss that. I just saved her number in my phone as Simran, Idjim real estate agent. Simran.
Starting point is 00:37:02 She's our go-to. I loved her. Okay, I need to go because I'm feeling cold sweats. And we will see you guys for our Wednesday episode. Yep, can't wait. Another reminder, the Mugvember Teal Era Mugs. Get your orders in before the end of the month. Link in bio on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Otherwise, we will catch you in a couple of days, idiots. Many people said we love the mug design. We love the new photo. Thank God. Because, you know, Mitch, you and I are looking snatched. That's our, you know, after we've had all that cosmetic surgery done, both internally and externally. And then Jenna's behind us trying to break through.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Someone's like, poor Jenna. Looks like she's struggling to get seen. Yeah, someone said it looks like Jenna's pushing. Oh, my God. What? Say her name and she appears. Jenna just walked in. Is she there? What the fuck hi jenna hold on i'm running the studio i've got to turn your mic on sit down okay you know jenna we were literally just talking about the mug and how someone said it looks like um you were pushing
Starting point is 00:37:57 us apart struggling to be seen in the photo and i'm like no that was actually the gag it's mitch and i standing there like svu detectives looking all serious and then Jenna's just pushing us apart going, hi, I'm here. That's the point. Yes, exactly. Hi, Jenna. Can you hear me? Hello, Mitch. Hello.
Starting point is 00:38:12 How is COVID? COVID is fine. I'm getting through. How was Pilates? Yeah, it was lovely. Yeah, it was good. I thought you had work on. I did have Pilates and work.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Okay, I thought so. Yes. Interesting. All right. I had to film the big boss oh wow yeah interesting the ceo uh the one down from that oh interesting is that for that inclusion thing they asked me to speak at it and guess what what they they said oh we're doing an inclusion thing at the radio station do you want to speak and i said of course i'll speak
Starting point is 00:38:39 on being queer and in the public eye and they went, we want you as a plus size person. Oh, no. That's your diversity? I said, I've just lost 40 kilos. There's heaps of fatties in this building. Why would they ask you? Well, no, I'm fine with being plus size and seen as that way, but that's not at all what I thought my brand was. But sure, I can speak of it.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And I said, absolutely not. You know, Jenna, you've just come in literally at the end of the episode. Oh, really? Yeah, pretty much. Like, can you hear the music's on? The closer music's playing. We're getting out of here. Oh, whoopsie daisy.
Starting point is 00:39:14 God, Deez, you sound so devastated that you've let your team down. Oh, my God. Can I say something? Yes. Actually, no. Can I ask a question before I forget? You're going to be here for the Wednesday episode, aren't you? Because we need to audition your Is It Just Me.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Okay. Yeah, if I have time. Okay. Yep. We're not recording it today. It's going to be separate. Oh, okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:37 After Pilates. Yep. Sure. Do you want to say something or do you want to hold it? Is it really burning? No, I'll say it today because it's relevant to now. My boss gave me Taylor Swift tickets.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Oh, wow. You smug little bitch. You know how many Swifties are going to be pissed off at you hearing this? I'm sorry, but I just had to share it. Congratulations. How did they choose you, Jenna? Was it because you were quivering at your desk again? Yeah. She looks like a Swifty, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah. You also sound like a Swifty. Take this as a compliment. The colouration in your skin and hair tone is Swifty. Yeah. I went to a Taylor Swift-themed club night, and it was just a thousand Jennas. That's the clientele that attracted.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Totally. Mousy brown hair. They're all beautiful and such sweet souls as well. Like it's such a sweet thing. Totally. I'm so excited. Congratulations, Jenna. Well deserved. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Thank you very much. All right, we should get out of here. That was the plan. Let's get out of here. We will see you on Wednesday. See you very, very soon, a couple of days. I'll go get some antivirals in me. Mitch will call his solicitor and we'll see you very soon.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Catch you then. Bye. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief. This is our secret segment on the end.
Starting point is 00:41:09 We pretend the show's done, but it isn't. We continue. Look at how the tables have turned. Me holding the fort in the studio and you at home. I know. And also I love that what Jenna just said about the Taylor Swift tickets was perfect for AD Debrief, yet it made the main show. Yeah, thanks. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Although she's leaning into the fact that we don't have a secret segment. It's a secret. She goes, wait, before we go. Yes. She's just committing to the lie. Like that's the only chance she has to speak. Exactly. True.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Well, Jenna, glad you're here. I'm glad to be here. Thank you. You know what happened to me when I was back home in Bogengate? Yeah. I stuck around for a few days after the show just to chill at the farm. Which looked so cute, by the way. That show looked beautiful.
Starting point is 00:41:52 I love that little video. Yeah. Thanks. I didn't actually make that. I had a videographer come along and do that. She was very good. Oh, cute. I was going to say the video quality.
Starting point is 00:41:59 I thought it was a project piece. No, do you think that I was somehow filming myself with a HD camera while on stage? Don't think I didn't try. I've tried it, but I actually can't do two things at once, as it turns out. Okay, so the shows were good. You saw the family. I'll keep a long story short.
Starting point is 00:42:18 It was a fucking nightmare because I got there on Friday and the show wasn't until Saturday. And I thought I'll just go in a bit early on Saturday just to make sure everything's ready. Give it a once over. And then mum said, I think we should go in on Friday afternoon to, you know, set up all the chairs and shit. And I was like, that's interesting that that's our job. But I thought, look, just for peace of mind, I'll come along to the hall on the friday afternoon as well just to double check it and thank fuck i did because we were there for like six hours what it was a mess was an absolute bomb site they were using the stage as just like a storage facility there were fucking tubs there
Starting point is 00:42:59 were bits of wire and shit everywhere there was. There was broken chairs just shoved up on the stage. It was a freaking nightmare. The sound system didn't work. It took me two hours alone to figure out how to get the fucking mics to work. And so it was just a huge ordeal. I've never been that stressed. It was hours upon hours and we were all dirty. There were six of us in total trying to set it all up.
Starting point is 00:43:21 And I was like, wow, I really thought this was going to be like any other gig where I just turn up, they hand me the microphone and tell me where to stand. And you speak. Yeah, exactly. Wait, wait, wait. So did they not prepare the stage at all for you? And after about half an hour of me and four friends and like Bodengate neighbours cleaning this fuck hole up, I said, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Starting point is 00:43:43 What if the whole committee were planning to come and do it on Saturday morning? Should we call them? Because, like, why would we bother doing it if they're already planning to do it? True. We called the head of the committee. Her name's Roz.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And we said, Roz, are you cleaning this joint up? She went, no. What? Well, we won't be paying the venue hire then, Roz, just quietly. Yeah, no, it was a fucking ordeal and I was very stressed and it went well in the end basically but um this was not the point of the story so while i was home in bogengate um one of our neighbors joanne mentioned to me that she goes to pilates classes in forbes and i was like right that's very modern for forbes the tiny ass country town has fucking pilates classes, the reformer machine and everything.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Oh, reformer. Yeah. And so I said, Jo, I might pop along to class with you. So I went along to the Pilates class in Forbes and then afterwards Joanne says, I've just got to pop to Woolies and pick up a couple of things. Right. And I thought, yep, no dramas. And also the best thing about that is that Jo's the sort of person
Starting point is 00:44:45 that actually does just pop in. When my mum pops in, she did this for hours. She just wanders around aimlessly looking confused, but Jo's like bang, bang, bang, got everything I need, let's go. In and out, yeah. I called mum and said, need anything? Picked up a couple of things for her, some almond milk and barbecue sauce. I got to the counter to pay for them.
Starting point is 00:45:03 And you know how you double tap the thing on your phone to bring up the Apple wallet? Yeah. Yeah, of course. You just pay on your phone. My cards had just vanished. What? I don't know what happened. I was like, well, I can't pay for groceries with a fucking flyby card.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Oh, that's my worst nightmare. Or an old Virgin Airlines ticket from last year that I still got in my Apple wallet. And I tried to re-add them. I'm sitting there at the counter being like, oh, my God, this is so embarrassing. Trying to re-add them to the wallet and it was going, an error has occurred. And so I don't know what the fuck, how that's happened.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Thank God Joanne was there. She bought the groceries. But then the very next day is when we had the Optus outage. Oh, no. So the two aren't connected. The two aren't connected at all. But my point is, I'm going to sound like such a boomer right now, but God, we rely too much on technology, don't we? I'm going to go back to old school.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I'm getting a purse. I'm carrying physical cards. I'm carrying cash. It's just ridiculous that when that goes down on my phone, I'm like, I'm screwed. I'm fucking screwed. Yeah, we had that for the international listeners. Optus is a telco in this company telecommunications service and it died and everyone was you everyone uses either optus or telstra really um i had to drive back from
Starting point is 00:46:14 bogengate to sydney for six hours with no maps oh no thank fuck i'm a genius and i managed to get here no wrong turns but my phone just wasn't working the whole time, which I'm not like a massive phone addict. It was fine to go without it. But it was more just like the knowledge that if something happens, I can't contact anyone. They can't contact me. Like I'm just off the grid.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I had to listen to fucking talkback radio all the way from Bougainvillea to Sydney and there wasn't even anything good. That's your dream. Let's be real. You weren't excited about that? No, because I only listen hoping to find some cooked shit for the podcast. Yeah, right, right, right, right. Although there was one caller on ABC.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I didn't hear this. Jenna sent it to me. There's just a meme that says, a woman who rang ABC Sydney radio says she found out about the Optus outage from her cat. The cat has an automatic Wi-Fi feeder connected to Optus and when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6.10am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management. It's the best call ever.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Oh, that's so funny. Someone actually put, you know, is it just me, bloody enduring idiots group chat. Oh, Mitch and Jenna need to find this audio. So Jenna did find it for us. Do you want to hear it? Yeah, go, go, go. It's extraordinary. It's the actual call. Annie? Hello? How are you affected? Oh, I woke up very early this morning because my cat woke
Starting point is 00:47:36 me up at ten past six because her cat feeder isn't working. Luna. Luna woke me up. How does the feeder work? It's a Wi-Fi, through the Wi-Fi. But what does it do? I'm not really seeing it. Well, it gives the food at ten past six. So it's set on a timer and out it comes.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Yeah, through the Wi-Fi. That's so funny. Annie, I hope the cat's all right and you've dealt with it all as well. Any further ramifications let us know. 0467 922 702 and text away there if you're seeing things that are an issue. Well, they don't have a
Starting point is 00:48:14 jingle, do they? No. Jesus, the way that story was told, Complain to Management, that sounded like a much better story. That is terrible radio. Yeah, the meme was funny, wasn't it? It was. One of our listeners said they should find the audio. Well, we did. There you go. Oh, well. Just goes to show
Starting point is 00:48:29 how good your talkback ting's nose is because you find good moments. My barometer. I wasn't affected at all. I am with Optus and I woke up but I was on Wi-Fi because I was COVID isolated and Wi-Fi's with Telstra. I was going to say your wi-fi wasn't
Starting point is 00:48:45 with optus so you would be fine all day i internet all day i pulled into a cafe near orange and they had free wi-fi and i was there for like half an hour just sitting in the car because i was like this is the only time i'm gonna have wi-fi i've got to make the most of it it is crazy it does make you think like we all have we have those discussions about becoming a cashless society and you go god it's times like that when you think, really, cash is all anyone would ever take. We need some. I really don't think we should because I've already decided
Starting point is 00:49:11 my new insurance policy, if something like this happens again, is I'm going to just pop a $50 note in the back of my phone case so that I've always got it. You never know because imagine if my phone dies and I can't order an Uber. I just get a taxi with my 50. Yeah. Like I'm too reliant on technology.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Kids these days. I agree with you. I agree. It was actually frightening and my parents were just so perplexed. Dad goes, mate, I can't call anyone. And I go, no, you can't. And he goes, yeah, because the Wi-Fi. No.
Starting point is 00:49:41 No, that's not it at all. That's not it. Absolutely not. Yeah, he's like, my texts are going through as green. No. No, that's not it at all. That's not it. Absolutely not. Yeah, he's like, my texts are going through as green. I'm like, yeah. He just couldn't understand it. He just couldn't fathom it. No, couldn't, couldn't.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Well, I wasn't affected at all. Oh. All right, so I'm out on my own here. Yeah, Mitchell, it was just you. For me, it was a very normal day. I did listen to the CEO of Optus go on 2GB talking to Deb Nine. Oh, you heard that too? I heard that when to Deb Knight. Oh, you've heard that too? I heard that when I was driving.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Oh, I heard it. I loved it. I thought it was a great interview. She was just reading a fucking script. It was a horrible interview. Yeah, and no, I mean, I know I'm more on team Miss Knight. I wasn't on the Optus CEO side, but she said, you know, we updated everyone.
Starting point is 00:50:21 We posted to our Instagram and to our Facebook to let everyone know about the outage. Yeah, hours after. Yeah, but also Deb's like, yeah, but no one had internet so no one could see it. And she's like, well, yes. Do you know what? My radio was still set to 2GB and on the way here today
Starting point is 00:50:38 I caught a little bit of Deb Knight's show and there was an ad for like hearing impaired people, Hearing Australia. I was like, why would they choose an audio only media to advertise for people with hearing loss it just doesn't make a lot of sense especially with am bullshit quality yeah it's only audio it doesn't make sense seems counterintuitive you know what else happened when when my optus eventually came back online i went and googled how to and then I just typed the letter S, and the first thing that came up was how to switch from Optus to Telstra.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Oh, that's good. Because I was looking into it to see if it was going to be, again, with the real estate thing, it looks like it's going to be too much fucking admin to switch. But I was like, okay, I can forgive the data breach, but come on. Stop pissing around. The data, bad year for Optus, huh? Data breach and then whatever the hell this was.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Have they said what it was? Like, my mum was like, I think it's a terror attack. I'm like, why? Why? Why do you think that, mum? I still haven't heard an update. What did cause the outage? They said it was like a deep-rooted flaw.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Yeah. A bit like Jenna's attitude, a deep-rooted flaw. Yeah, of course. That's me. Systemic. Yeah. Apparently they haven't said anything yet. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:51:46 They've just been using jargon and stuff to explain something that they don't know. There's one thing I hate, it's jargon. Me too. We all know that. We all know. No, hee-hee, well said, well said. Well, listen, I'm fading.
Starting point is 00:51:59 I think I need to go lie down. I'm fucking. Oh, that's all right. This is the most work I've done in a whole week and it's gone to my head. Okay. Well, hopefully you'll be back with us for the Wednesday episode, Mitch, because you're going to have to be with me to make the call if Jenna gets an idjim or not.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Oh, totally. Well, you know, I'm 33% of this company's decision-making power. Mitch is another 33%. Actually, does Jenna have 33%? Is it 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3? 3-3-3-3-3-3. No way. No. She's not even on the board.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yeah. Even I know that. Yeah, true. 40-40-20. All right, I'll be here for the Wednesday episode. No, I'm confident. The best thing about our board meetings, Jenna, is that we just don't have them.
Starting point is 00:52:40 There's no meetings. No, there'd be boring board meetings. Anyway, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. So we do. Yeah, that little lag, that's fine. It still works.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Oh, I just saw breaking news. Omegle has been shut down. What? Oh, Omegle. After 14 years, it's been shut down. We talked to randoms on the internet. Oh, like the chat roulette bullshit. Yeah. It's Omegle. After 14 years, it's been shut down. Well, you talk to randoms on the internet. Oh, like the chat roulette bullshit. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:08 It's probably good. It's like old creepy man jerking off to young people. Yeah. Well, what a crying shame. No more Omegle. I didn't know that was the fucking thing. No, I just saw that breaking news. Omegle has officially shut down.
Starting point is 00:53:22 We were literally saying goodbye. I suppose this is ADD brief. You can let your ADD play up. That's what it's for. But you're right. Let's go. Hope this podcast... Have we done that? Yeah. Yeah, we have. Well, can you vouch? Did it make you feel 2% better as someone who is currently
Starting point is 00:53:37 suffering an ailment? Absolutely it did. I feel much better now. More than 2% or about bang on? No, about bang on too. Yeah, to be honest. That's precisely% are about bang on. No, about bang on too. Yeah, to be honest. That's precisely what I was aiming for. So fuck yeah, killed it. Let's go on.
