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. Is it just me? Is familiar and farce kind of fun?

Just you, you filthy unhinged bitch. Honestly. What's wrong with you? Now here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, stranger. Hello, season six. Long time no chat, idiots.

How are we? Oh, my God, we're back. We are back. Well, we're sort of back. This is our soft launch for season six. No, Michael, you want to call it a soft launch. In my mind, this is as hard as I've ever been. Wow, okay.

And that Pilates is working up. Straight out the bat. Did he become less horny over hard as I've ever been. Wow, okay. And that Pilates is working off my mind. Straight out the bat. Did he become less horny over Christmas? The answer is no. Absolutely not. Hornier than ever. Season six is my horny era. Well, I think this is a hard launch.

We're back. This is on the feed. This is a brand new episode. No, you're right. But it's more that you might notice that there's no new artwork yet. It's coming soon. We were going to wait and come back and do new episodes once we had the new artwork. But then I was like, oh, I'm bloody sick of waiting.

Let's just jump back on the pod. Fuck it. And it's not going to make people listen less if there's an artwork of the two of us looking like fucking Mike Wazowski and Sully from Monsters, Inc. The new artwork. Oh, my God. I don't want to overhype it, but it's going to be pretty fucking cute. Even the photographer on the day said, I've shot Doris Day. I've shot Grace Kelly, I've shot

JFK with a camera and you guys are the hottest people I've ever shot. That's what they said. Verbatim, that's what they said. And we look so cute. The colours, the aesthetic we've gone for, it's never been done for in the history of podcasting. I'd go as far as saying no one has done... You know what?

Sorry, I'm going to be Jay-Z at the Grammys. No one does what we do. We had you and I in a photo shoot on a podcast before anyone else. So we, once again, as we have set the bar in the past, have exceeded the industry expectations. Do you know what I've noticed, though? None of the other podcasters I listen to bother to do a new artwork every year. So I'm like, why the fuck do we do this to ourselves?

Why do we put ourselves under this pressure? Mitch and I are in severe debt. We can't afford homes, but we have great photos every season. Like, I never regret it, but every time I'm like, oh, bloody hell, a new artwork again. I am excited to be back, Mitchell. Yeah, same. It feels, I was a little bit like, God, could I squeeze a few more weeks out of this? But no, I'm glad we're back.

It feels correct. I know. We had a little catch up. I came to your place. We had a little pre-show brunch. And also at that brunch, I did that annoying thing where I'm like, save it for the pod. Don't tell me anything. I've not really heard much about your little European getaway, your solo travel.

There was so much to unpack. You didn't want anything. I'm like, shut up. Save it. I've got a fucking gift for you. You're like, no, I'm the pod. I'm like, okay, sure. Oh, did you get me a gift?

I did. I got you a gift. And of course, Price Keeper Jenna, who's returning for season six, is here. Hi. I got you a gift from my cruise as well. Did you? Yes. Yes, both of you.

Well, I didn't really go anywhere to get you a gift. Oh my God, we all have updates. Jenna went on her cruise to the Bermuda Triangle and I went on my European winter trip. Yeah. Mitch stayed in his apartment. Pretty much. I think we should do a comparison of who had the most exciting versus the most boring summer break. I can do it right now.

I win. And sadly, Jenna loses and she went on a trip. Why don't you and I, Jenna, we'll tell our travel stories on Wednesday, the Wednesday episode. Yep. Surely you've got some sort of fucked Jenna's fable. There would have been a hurricane or something. Yeah, I do. Oh, please, I need a new fable.

The photo that I got in the Enduring Idiot's mid-European trip, I think I was balls deep in a strip waffle, and I see Jenna pouring a champagne on a cruise with the captain. I'm like, who the fuck is piloting the boat? Jenna's like, with the captain at dinner. I'm like, who's looking out for icebergs? Well, all of her holidays do involve disaster, so surely this one did as well, especially if it's an unmanned ship.

He's getting drunk with our Jenna on the cruise. I would love you to be on the Costa Concordia. If you were on that ship. What's that? It was the cruise liner that just fell into the side. Oh, yes. And then the captain ran off and everyone died. He did.

He got out of the ship. Why are you laughing, you sick fuck? No, no, no, no. The captain, he's in federal prison now Yeah Oh right Shit prison Shit

Yeah she isn't Okay so we'll get a Janice fable I Alright so I can tell my Euro stories this trip This podcast Yeah I mean how many have you got Are you going to fill the whole podcast with it are you

I filled the whole of Europe so I actually did not I did not Yeah Well which one's the truth There's a funny joke It's not true Oh okay It was a healing I actually did not. I did not. Yeah. Well, which one's the truth? There's a funny joke. It's not true.

Oh, okay. It was a healing. It was a mental trip, you know? After the year that I had, it was for me to find myself. Oh, God. But I can announce I did not find Maddie McCann. Another tally. Yep.

That's another dollar in the jar. I'm happy to pay that. to exonerate my name. Of all people message me going, you took her, didn't you? You're secretly investigating with the prior deluge police. No. Another one. I'm happy to pay that because it's the last time I'll ever say it. I didn't find her.

We did a ban on her name and any mention of that dreadful case. You're up to six. Jenna's only on one. Are you kidding? Is that six dollars? I can't remember what we said. It was a dollar. It was a dollar per mention. Well, then there you go. We've got seven dollars to play with. Not much in this economy. I transfer it to the

kiddie art room. That's what I have to do. Alright, I'll do it. I didn't find her. I've got many stories, which I can jump in. It's just good to be back. Good to see you guys. Did you find yourself? No, and that's what I want to talk about. Maybe you did.

You just didn't like the bastard. No, is it just me on the fly? Solo travel, not all it's cracked up to be. I've got to say, I agree. Yeah, it was like everyone said, you'll find yourself. You'll be a new man. It's formative. You'll come back and everything will make sense.

I'm more confused than ever. I also was so deeply lonely. Yeah, me too. When I did my solo trip to Vegas to see Lady Gaga, I hated it. Yeah, did you really? Yes, partly because actually I'm surprised that you struggled because you're better at talking to strangers than I am. So that's why I struggled because I was like,

what the fuck am I doing by myself? You can't go to the party capital Vegas by yourself. And not party. I'm pretty sure at one point I cried on the phone to mum and then thank God, one of my friends who was in LA at the time called me and said, I'm really bored. I'm going to come to Vegas. Can I stay in your hotel room? And I was like, yes, please. So it ended up being fucking fun the second half, but like the first couple of days I was like, this sucks. No, I didn't struggle with that. Like I liked making friends, but it was the fact that I was solo, having to eat dinner alone, go shopping alone, be on flights alone.

Like I just didn't enjoy it. But the actual learning for me was that I want to travel with someone. I don't want to do it alone. So there you go. There was a learning. Yeah, I did learn something. Yeah. So that's the depressing side of it.

You know, done. That it was absolute shit. No. And it wasn't informative. It was destructive. No, the trip was amazing, but it just didn't do what I thought it was going to do. You know, I'm the exact same person. No, you can't put too much expectation on that shit.

No, but I did bring something back that I want to talk to you guys about. Okay. And that's what my e-gym today is about. My souvenir from Europe. All right. Well, if it's your first time listening, do you remember this whole spiel that you have to do? Do I have to?

Do you want to? I can if you want. Do you want to do it this season? Do you want to mix it up? If it's your first time listening, we start the note. Why don't we just read the room and whoever jumps in there with it and feels that it's the right time to say it, they get it. Ethical non-monogamy.

So I got in first. Fuck you. Okay, go for it. I'm on. If it's your first time listening, we start every episode with an Is It Just Me, which is something we've noticed, hate or appreciate. Oh, that's good. Do you want to go first?

Yeah, I may as well. I'll continue my travel stories. Yeah, go on. And to make it clear, I'll do my stories, Jenna and then Mitch, you'll do on the next episode. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'll save it.

Yeah. Okay. Oh my God. First Digimove season six. I get the title. Don't fuck it up. Okay. There's so much pressure.

Here we go. Deep breath in. Everyone together. Is it just me or... Are you also in your STD era? Oh, no. I brought back Gonorrhea from Europe! Yes!

You brought back Gonorrhea. Which one do they call that? Is that the clap? Is that the nickname? Is that the nickname? It's the clap. Mitch! I got my first STD. Congratulations.

To be honest, I don't know if it's from Europe. I don't know. I actually don't know. You are so thrilled about this, aren't you? Be honest. I'm not thrilled. I reckon you're pretty fucking pleased with yourself because you bring it up quite a bit. You mentioned that we caught up in the holidays.

A couple of our friends rocked up and individually they both asked, oh, my God, how was your trip? And you were like, good, I got a ringer. Another friend turned up, how was your trip? I got a ringer. And I was like, he led with that with me too. I think he's absolutely stoked about it. Maybe.

You really did find yourself. I did. Well, no, I don't. I'm being honest with you. I don't believe it's from Europe. I really don't. Where the fuck is it from? I thought you said you got it in Amsterdam or something.

No, I don't think so. No, I don't. They don't test you and go, guess what? You got European Ghana. But you can do basic maths, can't you? No, I just don't know. I just don't know where I got it. You just don't know.

There's no way of knowing. I think there is. Jenna, can you Google the symptoms? Like how long does it take after the pork for the symptoms to arise? I've already Googled all this. I've Googled all this. And you can live with it dormantly your whole life. It's more often asymptomatic.

So I could have had it before. How did you know that you had it? What made you go get tested? I don't want to go into the details. No, I want to know the details. For the other person's sake. No, I don't need to go into the details. Then why did you bring it up?

Because I'm just excited. I got my first STD. Sometimes when you have a podcast, you need to know the details. For the other person's sake. No, don't go into the details. Then why did you bring it up? Because I'm just excited I got my first STD. Sometimes when you have a podcast, you need to talk about the low moments so people listening who also are gonorrhea positive can hear and go, wow, if Mitch Turi can get through his day with gone, then I can too. But you're not detailing the struggle, so they don't feel represented. They feel embarrassed and they feel that because you have shame surrounding it that so should they.

There's no shame surrounding it. You're now the poster boy for fucking gonorrhea. I'm on my podcast. Step up. No, I love gonorrhea. Maybe it's Scottish gonorrhea. Who knows? I don't know.

Maybe I got it at Dune Castle. I could have. Sat down on a plinth. You know, Stonehenge. Maybe I fell over on that. Did you get an answer to that, Jenna? I did find out. So you said that it can go unnoticed, right?

For years. If it does, the infection is likely to spread and affect other parts of the body did you have oh god here we go greater frequency or urgency of urination do i not need to piss all the time yeah you do actually holy fuck and like when i gotta go go, I got to go. And that was a really intimate brainstorm we had last week. Maybe I gave it to you. Well, that's what I mean. Guys, I'm telling you, read between the lines.

I got back and then I reckon I got it when I came back. Did you have discolouration and swelling at the penis opening? No. Testicular swelling or pain? Absolutely not. Rectal bleeding or discharge? No. no, no. Testicular swelling or pain? Absolutely not. Rectal bleeding or discharge? No. But how did you know you had it?

Symptoms appear between one to 14 days. How many people did you root in Europe? I'm not discussing. Well, this is frankly the worst idiom you've ever brought to the table if we're not allowed to talk about it. It's between zero and 35. And I was there for 24 days. So it was like three?

Do the math. Do the math. No, it's between zero and it's between 35. Okay. No, but that's not the reason. I'm just saying, fun, I've been treated, I got jabbed in the butt, giant horse needle. Welcome to my world. Yeah.

Well, it's ironic that what fixes it is what got me there in the first place. Well, no, but Europe, guys, was really, it was fun. I really did enjoy it. So now that you're in your STD era, are you going to collect the set? Oh, yeah. What else is there? Well, I'm going for the STD EGOT. Except for the A.

I don't want that. Oh, you don't want it. No, I don't want to get the EGOT. No, no, no, no. Got to catch them all, STDs. Gonorrhea, chlamydia. Herpes. Herpes. Gotta catch them all. STDs. Gonorrhea. Chlamydia. Herpes.

Herpes. I don't know what else there is. Hepatitis. No, we're all immune to that. Genital warts. G. Jenna, can you create an acronym? Oh, I've got a pen.

What are they? H. Hepatitis. No. I don't want H. Gono. G. Gono.

G. Yes. Herpes. Chlamydia. Herpes. Chlamydia. Warts. The W because we've already got a G. I just, G, yes. Herpes. Chlamydia. Herpes. Chlamydia. Warts. The W because we've already got a G. I just feel like there should be more.

Crabs. Crabs. There you go. Guys, there's a lot of consonants. We need some vowels. Syphilis. Syphilis, yes. It's G-H-C-W-C-S.

We need at least an E. Gurkhas. Guys, I'm aiming for Gurkhas. My 2024 goal is Gurkhas. Ariana Grande comes out and goes, With a successive yes and, I'm really gunning for for Gurkhas. My 2024 goal is Gurkhas. Ariana Grande comes out and goes, with a successive yes and, I'm really gunning for a Gurkhas. You'll get Gurkhas from that fucking sponge you're rooting. You homewrecking bitch.

Sorry, I'm not Team Ari. I've been triggered, clearly, from past experiences. Let me get this. I loved Europe. I have gifts for you both, and I'll present them to you next week. I don't have gonorrhea anymore. Also, I've been back for a while, so I really do think I got it when I got back. I have gifts for you both and I'll present them to you next week. I don't have gonorrhea anymore. Also, I've been back for a while, so I really do think I got it when I got back. Who knows?

What I do want to say, though, is- I thought you got it when you were there. Well, you don't know, Mitchell. Yeah, okay. You don't know. I think you got it there. I had a bunch of sex when I returned. With how many people?

One person. And that person has never given you gonorrhea before. Therefore, it's probably the randoms that you introduce into the mix. Who knows? I'd say that. That's science, really. Yeah. Let's move on.

Can I tell you something that was the highlight of my Europe trip? You know me. When you think Mitch Turi, you think gay clubbing, don't you? Yes. Yes, they go hand in hand. Correct. I went to the most elite nightclub in the world, and I got in to Berlin iconic night venue, Berghain.

Are you guys across Berghain? Can't say. Oh, my God. Berghain is a nightclub in Berlin. It's the most elite nightclub in the world. It's a four-level oil factory that they've turned into a nightclub in the middle of, I don't know, some old spy warehouse. Which city, sorry?

Berlin in Germany. And to get in, you have to go between the hours of 9 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Monday. It opens on Friday and stays open the whole weekend. And once you enter, you stay the whole weekend. It's like a three-day event inside this nightclub. That doesn't sound like your cup of tea. Absolutely not. But the thing is, it is so elite.

Only 80% of people get turned away. 20% of people get let in. There's a two-hour liner. What's the criteria? Just being nice? Vibes. No, not nice. Oh, my God, no.

In fact, you want to be rude. I'd be let straight in, mate. I'd be in front of the camera. I don't think you would. In fact. G'day, dog. Let me in. In fact, the reason I bring it up is I'd like to test it out.

So I got into Berghain on my first try, which apparently, according to Berlin locals, is very hard. I bought a new earring in Berlin to look extra gay. I wore a leather jacket, leather pants. I bought leather pants. No, you didn't. Do you want to see what I wore to Berghain? Yes.

Yes, I do. I bought leather pants and I was wearing leather boots. We're all Columbine vibes. So you were a bikey yeah yes i was i looked like a common chair um and i was let in so i lined up for two hours to get into this this venue two hours in the cold in minus five degree weather that just doesn't sound like something you would ever fuck with lining up for two hours it was snowing oh that doesn't look warm enough for would ever fuck with, lining up for two hours. It was snowing. Oh, that doesn't look warm enough for the snow, that leather outfit. But you do look good.

I had to club. So I line up for Burghide and this is the club, Mitchell. Middle of the snow, 1am in the morning, I arrive. Jesus Christ. It's like people lining up to see the Queen's corpse. Correct. Yes. Have a look at this.

This is the line on the left to get into the club, Mitchell. And on the right are people being turned down. They have to walk the length of the line. And walk past everyone so they know that they weren't approved. How humiliating. Humiliating, Jenna. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. So as I line up, they say, do not laugh, do not smile, do not use your phone,

because there are hidden secret shoppers in the line who vibe out the group. It's a queer club and it's a sex-positive queer club. So you can have sex in the club who vibe out the group. It's a queer club and it's a sex positive queer club. So you can have sex in the club. You're allowed to. That's what you do. In the club? Correct. With no discretion?

No, no. Well, consent, yes. I didn't say that. I said discretion. That's a big word. And then they just fuck out in the open. They don't pop off to the tour. So everyone can see.

Correct, yeah. But it's not like I want everyone to see. It's just you're allowed to do it in the club. So I line up for about an hour and a half. There's this guy in front of me with Nike shoes on. He's got a North Face puffer, and I think he's not getting in. He's with his best friend. Is it based off how you dress or just vibe?

There's no rhyme or reason. No rhyme or reason. Nothing. There's no way of knowing. So I get to the line, waiting for two hours. I'd say the first 30 people in front of me get no's. They're on a no tirade. They don't talk to you.

They might ask you one question in which I was briefed beforehand that it would be how many in your party. And I went, great, I can answer that. It's just me. It's just one. So I walk up. The two in front of me get looked up and down by this bouncer. He's a big belly guy, piercings. Looks them up and down and goes,

shakes his head and signals they leave. So the two boys leave. Oh, that's so... I'd probably arc up knowing me. I'd get a lifelong ban. Oh, there's security. If you arc up, they deal with you in the German way. I would just fall to the ground and cry.

Jenna, no. If I did get let in and I had no plan on living permanently in Berlin, I would get banned and arc up just for the story. So I could say, what's it called again? Berghain. I was like, oh yes, I've got a lifelong ban from there. Well, guess what? I walk up, I look at the bouncer, he looks at me and he goes, and I'm prepared

for how many's in your party. We're in Germany, I forget. He goes, Ich bin heiß und wirst ein Dauphond. Jenna, can you get the Google translation of how many in your party in German? I don't speak German. It'll be triggering. I don't speak German. He went, Ich bin heiß Google translation of Hammond and your party in German? I don't speak German. It'll be triggering. I don't speak German. He went, ich bin high von du von der Haas.

So I just went. And you went, bless you. Oh, no. All I know in German is a rhyme that I learned in high school, which is, Ich bin dick und du bist du. Ich heiße Mitchell. Wie heißt du? Which is, I am me.

You are you. I am Mitchell. How are you? The only German I know is, ich bin snappy. Which is what? Yeah. Oh, that song. Spanish crocodile.

Right. Stupid shit. Yeah. So Jenna, he looked at me and went, So I just went, And he looks me up and down and he goes, This is what he said. Oh.

Read it out, Jenna. Read it. Correct. And you would have beenal person in sind in hierography. Correct. And you would have been like, ha! No, I didn't. I didn't. I was confident.

I went, ick. Which is I. And he went, look to me up and down, and went, in. And I went, oh, my God, I'm in Burghide. So I walk in. There are, like, flaps at, like, an Australian corner store. You know those plastic flaps that are strips of plastic that hang, you know, on the outside of- Yeah, like fish and chip shops and stuff. Oh, they're great.

It's like they're in the cool room at the Bottle Eye. Yes, at a BWS. Yeah. So I walk in, go through the flaps. My arm gets scrapped. I get pulled to the side. All of a sudden, Berghain is on. There are six plinths made of, like, concrete.

Who pulled you to the side? Just someone who worked there pulled me to the side. He goes, phone in plinth. So I put my phone in plinth. Empty pockets. So I empty my pockets. And then he goes, arms up, arms up. Pull me to the side. He goes, phone in plinth. So I put my phone in plinth. Empty pockets. So I empty my pockets. And then he goes, arms up, arms up, pad, pad, pad, crotch, padded, ass cheeks, padded, spread, thighs, padded, insides of shoes, felt with two fingers.

It all sounds very unwelcome. I can't see. I would not respond well to any of these shit. So they grab my phone. They put stickers on each of the cameras, round stickers. They put stickers on the front and they put stickers on the bottom so you can't use the microphone. Can't you just take off the sticker? No, no, no. It's like you

don't disrespect Burkhardt. So I walk in, they go $20 euros cover fee. I go, shit, thank God I've got cash. What's that Australian? 20 euros is probably like 35, 40 Australian dollars. What a rip-off. To get in. Well, the world's most exclusive club. So I pay cash. Would you have to have taken physical card and stuff if you can't use your phone?

Well, get this. I pay with cash. Take my wallet out. All good. In the kerfuffle. I go, okay, there's the cash. I walk in. The door's open.

It is the size of Universal, the gay bar in Sydney. So not huge. No, no. The cloakroom is the size of Universal. Oh. Yeah. But what I didn't realise was it's a sex club, so people line up in their winter gear.

It's heated. Then- Did they just take every item of clothing off and pop it in the cloakroom? Yes! Everyone gets naked! So I walk in and go, No, but I went, Oh, I can take my jacket off.

So I'm standing next to this gorgeous blonde German boy. I take my jacket off. He takes his jacket off. I stop and then I go to cloak it, turn behind. He's butt naked. I go, Oh, I... He just kept going. Imagine the stench of sweat in that place.

Oh, my God. I check my jacket. I give it to the cloakroom. I go, Thank you so much. They go, oh, he just kept going. Imagine the stench of sweat in that place. Oh, my God. I check my jacket. I give it to the cloakroom. I go, thank you so much. They go, enjoy, Burkhardt. Go upstairs. Enjoy the experience. Were you fully nude as well?

No, no. I had a t-shirt on and leather jeans. Like, walked up the stairs. By the way, I walked past the smoothie bar and the snack hub. There's a smoothie bar? Yeah. There's a smoothie. It's like a booze juice.

Now I'm on board. Yeah. Now you're down. Snacks, Kit Kats, chocolate, muesli bar, fruit, vegetables. God, you wouldn't want to chunder those up on the dance floor, would you? No. If they had those in Australia, we couldn't be trusted. So you don't have to pay extra for them?

You do, you've got to pay for it all. Anyway, I walk up to the bar, which is covered in men made of resin. So it's like these nude men being eaten out. It's a sex club. So there are like moulds of men lying on top of resin. So it's like these nude men being eaten out. It's a sex club. So there are like molds of men lying on top of each other. And it's like a human centipede of men eating each other's asses. And that is what divides the dance floor in the bar.

Thought charming. I look out on the outdoor. This thing is like. I'm not into that at all. It's a three level warehouse. No levels in between. So it's the biggest room I've ever been in my life. The bar is there giant penis about four meters tall stands in the courtyard giant dick i go to the bar and i go hi can i get a gin and tonic she goes no values thanks she gives me the gin

and tonic and she goes five euro and i go awesome i pay pass with my phone she goes bug hunting is cash only oh no that's all right let me go to wallet. I go to find my wallet and I've dropped it. When? Do you know when you dropped it? That wasn't a joke. I was so scared. I thought he was going to, when did I ask? No, no, no.

Like, when did you lose it? I have no idea. Like the cloakroom? I don't know. I went, oh my God, maybe it's downstairs. Because they paged you down when they walked in. Did someone fucking steal it? Steal my wallet.

That's what I'm thinking. Mind you, I am always supporting this podcast, so I rip off the microphone sticker. And I thought I'll show Mitchell and Jenna what it sounds like inside the most elite nightclub in the world. So as I'm stressing about my wallet, this is what plays on the sound system at one in the morning in Berlin. Sounds like they're searching for that submarine.

Ocean's Gate Sub. It's like a sonar. Do they not have lyrics in Germany? No. That hasn't made it there yet. No, it's like a club. It's boring. That's what it is.

So that plays. I freak out. I open Find My and my wallet is outside Berghain. I must have dropped it as I was walking in past the before the cloakroom entry to the building. How did you find your wallet on your phone app? I've got an air tag inside it. Oh, okay.

Smart. So I go, oh my God, I'm at this elite nightclub. I've lost my wallet. And I go, that's fine. They'll let me out to go and get it. So as the music's playing, I walk back down the stairs in my leather shoes. I go to the coat check room. A lovely man who works there is butt naked.

And he's in like a leather. One of the staffies. Uh-huh. But he's got a leather G-string on with a leather elephant trunk where his penis goes. And I go, excuse me. I've lost my wallet. And he goes, you've what? I've lost my wallet.

And he goes, where is it? And I go, I don't know. I've lost it. And I have an air tag. I think it my wallet. And he goes, where is it? And I go, I don't know. I've lost it. And I have an air tag. I think it's outside. Because if you leave Bughaan, you don't come back to Bughaan all weekend. And I said, oh, but I just paid entry and I really want to. It's just outside.

He goes, honey, you want to go? You go get your wallet. So do you sacrifice the gangbang for the wallet? Correct. We've all been there. Correct. What do I do? I beg and I plead.

And I go, please, I'm from Australia. I host a hit podcast, Mitchell Coombs. You might have seen his Instagram. You're clearly a gay man. The algorithm has probably shown you Mitchell Coombs. And he went, okay, 10 euro to leave and come back. And I was like, fuck this place. But my wallet's out there, idiot.

Where am I going to get the 10 euro? I don't think you understand. All of a sudden he takes card. So I fucking pay get the 10 euro? I don't think you understand. All of a sudden he takes card. So I fucking pay pass him 10 euro. And he goes, but first we must lodge a loss and found receipts in case you can't find the Viennot in trouble. I was like, okay, no worries. All of a sudden this music that's playing just like suddenly gets cut out.

He puts on a pair of glasses that appeared out of nowhere. He had no pockets. It must've come out of his asshole. He puts them on his head. He pulls out a manila folder, slap, opens, licks his finger. He goes,

what is your date of birth? Oh, for God's sake. What is your passport number starting with PA? He sounds like he's scamming you now. That's what it felt like. Because he obviously

wasn't in a uniform. This could have been anyone. How do you know he worked there? What is your mother's name? What is the name of... What's the password to your Combank account? Yeah.

The name of your first page, please. And I was like, Hamish. Anyway, he goes, you may go and leave the Berghain. So I left the Berghain, tracked it with my Apple ID, found it, walked back in, and then I stayed for four hours. Oh, that's nice that no one flogged it while it was on the ground. No, no one flogged it. Oh, that's nice.

No one flogged it to save space. And what did you do during that four hours? Do I dare ask? I met a lovely couple. I bet no one fogged it. That's nice. No one fogged it to say it's bad. And what did you do during that four hours? Do I dare ask? I met a lovely couple. I bet you did. Missionary wasn't their thing. I met them when they were doing Doggy on the sex swing. Hi, mate. How are you?

I'm Mitch. I'm new here. I didn't actually realise they were having sex. It was a straight couple. That looks comfy. They've got hammocks. Oh, that's not a hammock. It's a straight couple. But it's at a queer club. Well, it's everyone, but it's history is a straight couple. That looks comfy. They've got hammocks. Oh, that's not a hammock. It's a straight couple. But it's at a queer club. Well, it's everyone, but its history is a queer club. Everyone's welcome in Berghain. So there were chains hanging from the ceiling with seats on them,

and I thought, that looks lovely. Did you get involved? No. You know what I'm asking. No, I did not. Mitchell, I was sober. What were you doing for four hours? Walked around.

Now you sound like a creep. You should have lied and said you got in the gangbang with the straight couple. That would have been less weird. It's true. Imagine being in a gangbang. I'm not built for it. So that was the highlight, you reckon? It was just a story that I really felt like telling.

I did notice on your Instagram story when you were in Amsterdam that you looked thoroughly baked. Confirm or deny? You're allowed to be baked there, so you're allowed to say yes. I mean, Jenna and I know. I got very baked in Amsterdam, yes. I could tell there was something about your eyes. Did you have the brownies?

I did have a bite of brownie and had a big fat joint the first night. I've got a photo on my phone somewhere from my contiki of Jenna fucking lighting up a joint. Yeah. Do you? Yeah, look there. She is smacking a fucking scoop down her face. Look at her.

Oh, my God. Can I see? Yeah. Do you? Yeah, look there. She is smacking a fucking scoob down her face. Look at her. Oh, my God. Can I see? Yeah. Jenna. And we forgot that we booked a canal cruise at midday, so we're high as shit on this boat. It was not good. I met this guy at the club who was a podcast listener.

Really? All the way in here. I actually met multiple podcast listeners. Isn't that nice? I posted this to Instagram, didn't realise how baked I looked and had to delete it. I think that was the one. That was the one that I saw and I was like, oh my God. I went into Facetune and the teeth whitening editing option I used on my eyes.

Facetune's AI was like, are you sure you want to? Yes! Whiten! Whiten! Amsterdam's where my family is from. I'm Dutch. So I really, that was my favourite place of the whole trip. I want to do an investigation about where the fucking Gono came from, frankly.

Yeah, me too. Well, let's just say. What cities were there encounters? Maybe I had a dry Europe run. Okay. Maybe I had a very wet Europe run. Well, it is your wet season, so. Yeah.

Yeah, who knows? Who knows? Did you count? What cities? That's not really revealing anything, who knows? Who knows? Did you count? What cities? That's not really revealing anything, is it? I'm not telling you anything. No, I don't kiss and tell. You so fucking do.

You won't shut up if you have a kiss. Shut up. That's not true. And when you came back from Melbourne? No. Yeah. That was different. Something's changed here.

You won't divulge. All right, well, the reason is when I returned, I'm exclusive with someone that I'm seeing, so I'm not sleeping. But you weren't exclusive at the time. Well, no.. You won't divulge. Alright, well the reason is when I return, I'm exclusive with someone that I'm seeing, so I'm not sleeping over. But you weren't exclusive at the time. Well, no. It was when we came back. So that's fine. I'm allowed to talk about people I fucked before I was exclusive with Sean. Yeah, but I have what's called respect.

Is this a new thing? Is this a 2024 in for you? I found it in Paris, actually. It was at this lovely vintage store in Versailles. Is that another STI respect? Oh, yeah, hilarious. It's French for crabs. Bug off. Is it just me? You can follow the show online.

Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. Well, there you go. That was Churi's summer break. That's what he got up to. Coming up on Wednesday, Jenna and I will talk about what we got up to. And then we'll just decide amongst ourselves who fucking killed it, who had a shit break.

Why don't we get the idiots to write in and let us know who killed it? Yeah, I can do a poll or something. Yeah, that could be good. I have more stories. You would write more? Yeah. Yeah, maybe later. Maybe later.

But you can't blow your load in one episode. That's true. Like, we could be doing the podcast in three years' time and you go, that reminds me of when I was in Europe. That's true, actually. There's no shelf life on the stories. Oh my God, that's really true true i could be one of those people that went when i went solo traveling in europe yeah oh i'm so i'm gonna be so obnoxious i know

yeah and like that just comes with having gone solo traveling in europe that you be that person you are now that person can you just ask me mitchell because no one's done it yet just a compliment my shirt and ask me where i got it okay you know i'm not a good actress it's gonna sound insincere but but I'll do it. It's fine. It's for theatre. Wow. That's a gorgeous shirt. Where'd you get that one? I'd love to find out where you got that. Oh, I love that shirt.

Thank you. I got it in London. Did you go to London? Yes. Did you? When? Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted. That's it. Thanks, guys. Scene. Scene, you should get your management to get you into acting because you could be heart

like high. I nailed it, didn't I? That sounded really fucking sincere. Yeah, it was from the heart, that one. So, yeah, I just want to be that person that's like, this is where I got these. Jenna. Yeah. Yes.

Sorry, I just said yes to when you said Jenna. I don't know why I did that. Sorry. Are you our manager now? Well, Jenna, now you have to go through me if you want to talk to me. Okay, well, can you ask Jenna if you have to give some sort of tease as to how her holidays went, which she'll be talking about on Wednesday.

How would she hook it? Okay. Hey, Jenna, how are you, lovely? I'm good. How are you? Good. Hey, for Wednesday's record, babe, lovely Coons is just flagging. He wants you to do a little prep ahead of time. They call it a hook, but it's

basically a tease for your travel story. If you could let me know by EOD, that'd be great. Thanks, chickie. Oh, hi, Mitch. Too many cooks in the kitchen, mate. Fucking just spit it out, Jenna. Elderly abuse. Who abused

you? Ageism. Who abused you? Ageism. And disaster. And fun. Wow. And line dancing. Oh, wow. Thanks, chickie.

There were definitely lines involved in my break. I also. Oh, my. Wow. How would I tease mine? Do I try and make it sound more interesting than it is? Because I'm actually concerned that I'm going to win the most boring holiday. Oh, don't say that. No, don't say that, Mitchell.

Because I don't have like one epic story like that fucking, what was it? Block Hogan, Hyman Spiel club that you went to. Like, I don't have any one epic story. I've just got a collection of ones that I think are all equally cute. I think that's kind of cute. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, why don't you just hit us with whatever. And we people listen to this show for you.

It just wasn't that interesting. No, back yourself, Mitchell. I reckon it'll be great. We'll see. It's all in how you tell it, you know? Oh, fuck. Now the pressure's on. A little bit.

Anyway, that's a Wednesday problem. Should we get into my Is It Just Me? Yeah, we should. We should. I have to press that button. Yeah, no, that would be good. Sorry, it's a new season. You're right, yeah.

Is it just me or...? Do you not understand why some people give musical movies shit? Oh, no, I know where this is going and know I'm one of those people. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Like, I'm not out here saying, oh, I love a musical movie. I don't have any strong feelings either way. But, like, there's been a few recently, Mean Girls and Wonka and stuff,

and apparently they actively didn't advertise that it's a musical because that might have deterred people. Yeah. That's what I hate. Yeah. Especially with the Mean Girls one. The Mean Girls musical is so good. But nobody knows that that film is based on the musical, not a remake of the film.

Because surely that's worse, right? If people think, why would they remake Mean Girls? Don't fuck with perfection. Like the musical is a point of difference, so they should advertise that. But then there's people like my brother who went along with his girlfriend to see the Wonka movie, didn't know it was a musical, and he's like,

oh, what the fuck's this about? Yeah, yeah. I liked Wonka. I went. I thought it was cute. I liked it. You're the one person in the world who enjoyed Wonka. It was internationally panned. Was it? Yes. I haven't seen it. It was the one person in the world who enjoyed Wonka. It was internationally panned.

Was it? Yes. I haven't seen it. It was terrible because it's a musical. So it's Mean Girls. It's a musical. You know what I call this? The pussy effect because of Cats.

Cats ruined cinematic musicals for the world. I mean, there's bad ones, but then there's some of the best movies in the world and musicals. Fucking Lion King. Hello. Animated though. Grease. Mamma Mia. High School Musical. Yes. And they put musical in there. What else would it be? musicals fucking lion king hello animated though different grace yeah mama mia high school musical yes and they put musical in there what else would it be exactly high school sing-along

no that's kind of musical implied or just high school yeah have you seen high school don't remind me so was wonka really badly reviewed was it yes it was really bad it's also so timothy chalamet was he's not wonka that's That's ridiculous. But it's a prequel. It was before Wonka set up his factory. He was like a fucking teenager, early twenties. Tell me one person that was losing sleep over the origin story of Willy.

I can't name one, but like, I don't know. If you don't take it too seriously, it's just a bit of fun. Like I've noticed that perhaps I enjoy shit movies because the amount of movies i've watched recently and

been like i loved that and then looked up the reviews and fucking rotten tomatoes ripped it to shreds totally yeah i'm the same with letterboxd i go into letterboxd and i'm like oh this is incredible look through it and it's pan i had to delete i have to be like i actually know that was a crap film yeah yeah oh i'm so impressionable if I get a whiff that someone didn't enjoy a movie before I give my opinion, like, for example, say I loved Mean Girls and I went, have you seen Mean Girls? And they go, I hate it. I will instantly say I hate it.

It's just easier. Oh, God, yeah. I'm so wishy-washy. Well, Mean Girls has been getting bad reviews as well, which is weird to me because I went to the premiere of Mean Girls, right? I saw EMP. And I just was like, whatever, low bar, low expectations. I think that's how you're going to approach fucking everything these days.

Yeah, true. Because I was like, oh, it's a bit of fun. It's good. I liked it. It was quirky. It was silly. It was good. I walked away and then my TikTok is now feeding me very poor reviews because it turns out

the Mean Girls musical, like the Broadway stage version has its own cult following. They didn't like the movie remake at all. They were really fucking ripping it to shreds. Really? Especially one of the lead actresses who played Katie, the Lindsay Lohan character. Oh, give her a break. What's her name again? Renee Rapp. No, no, no.

That's Regina George. Angry Rice. Can you Google it? She's from Melbourne or something. oh, oh. Angry Rice. Angry, yeah. Can you Google it? Yeah. Yeah. She's from Melbourne or something. Jenna's Googling Angry Rice. Angry Rice. There we go.

I'll just call her that and you will know what I mean. So Angry Rice. Yeah, Angry Rice. Angry Rice. I'm just saying Angry Rice. That'll be fine. Angry Rice. So yes, Angry Rice.

Yeah. By the way, watching that movie, it was one of those moments where I was like, where the fuck have I seen that face before? What was she in? Do you know where I recognised her from? Did you see that Black Mirror episode with Miley Cyrus? Yeah. She was the little girl in that.

The kid? Yes, the child that was obsessed with Miley and had little toys and stuff. With Ashley O? Yes, that's the one. What are the others? Angry Rice fucked up the role in Mean Girls, according to the fan base. Yeah. Because a Broadway musical, obviously, it's belters.

Angry Rice can't sing for shit. She's not a belter. And there's been comparison videos. I brought one with me. Oh, my God. Yeah, okay. There's been a lot of people comparing the movie soundtrack versus the musical soundtrack. Oh.

They have a point. Angry Rice is not a songstress at all. Okay, so is Angry Rice doing the actual audio recordings in the movie or did they get another singer to do them and she's lip syncing? Do we know? I feel that they should have gotten another singer perhaps. It's Angry Rice. Yeah, so when you listen to this, it starts with the Broadway version

and then you'll hear Angry Rice's shit version. And it's just so low energy by comparison. All right, roll the audio. I'm astounded and I'm lost. I am filled with tattoo lust. Does the sky look like he must? West End. All right, roll the audio. Up heat, belter. West end.

She's not filled with calculus. She's filled with dread by the sounds of these. She's filled with Xanax. Not good. That's horrible. I saw Mean Girls on Broadway. Did you? Yes.

Did it have Renee Rapp in it? No. Sabrina Carpenter? No, I saw the original ones. It had Ashley Park from Emily in Paris and all that. Oh, wow. Yeah, it was really good. So Renee Rapp is one of the only people from the musical that they brought into the movie as well.

Yeah, Sabrina Carpenter was in the musical, but she wasn't in the film. Oh, okay. No one asked. But yeah, I've noticed a lot of people slamming Angry Rice's vocals. And there was one that I found really funny. It's like kind of mispronunciation territory. Oh, really?

Oh, good, good, good, good. There's one song that she's singing, that one. It's Stupid With Love, right? Yeah, yeah. And they've noticed that she doesn't really clearly pronounce a lot of the letters. So stupid, it sounds like she says stupu. Oh, no. And love, she just goes la.

So it's stupid with love. Oh, angry rice. And it's like she's just giving the vowels all her attention. Yeah, yeah. The consonants melt away. The consonants are really fucking getting ignored in this situation. Stupid with love. Oh, no.

Listen to it. Is it angry rice, yeah? Yes, angry rice. And I'm stupid with love. Oh, no. Listen to it. Is it Angry Rice, yeah? Yes, Angry Rice. And I'm stupid with love. I want to get it. I want to get it. There's no T in it. I want to get it.

Smart with math, but stupid with love. Love. I didn't get it. I didn't get it till now. Oh, no. Stupid love. Imagine if Lady Gaga did her hit, Stupid Love. I want your stupid love.

She kind of does, doesn't she? La, la. What other songs have love in it? Surely many. Love. Yeah. Love is in the air. Oh, yeah.

Love is in the air. Love is in the air. Oh, God, come on. Because I can't help falling in love with you. I would never have noticed. I wasn't nitpicking Angry Rice's vocals when I went and saw it because I was just taking it for what it was. I was like, yeah, whatever, that's cute.

It's only when the comparisons came out that I was like, interesting choice there, Tina Fey, interesting choice. So should I watch it just like don't go in there thinking that it's going to be fucking avatar or some critically acclaimed brilliant movie which by the way most of them i think are shit my taste is awful movies i was gonna say you have terrible taste name a good movie oh do you know what I watched recently? Oh, God, here we go. So, funny story. We were at Trivia and one of the questions was, Gary Marshall directed a trilogy of films based off holidays.

What were they? I was like, okay, Valentine's Day, New Year's. Is it New Year's Eve or New Year's Day? Yeah, New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. Yeah, New Year's Eve. What's the third one? Mother's Day.

I'd never heard of Mother's Day. When my friend said that was the answer answer I was like, surely the fuck not That can't be right I looked it up and once again Completely panned as being the most awful film ever made It was terrible I watched it and I thought it was brilliant And that tells me everything I need to know

Exactly Now listen, before we get out of here Normally a Wednesday episode would start With an Is It Just You caller, but Mitch and I are going to be doing overtime. Every single episode, including Wednesday, will start with us doing an Is It Just Me. Correct. But we're not getting rid of the callers because we still love chatting to our idiots.

They're now part of Monday's episode. Correct. So Monday's really like an Idjim bonanza. Is It Just Me Monday, you could call it. Is It Just Monday? Nothing but Idjims, whether it be us or the idiots. Also, if you're listening to this on a Thursday, you're going to feel real left out, aren't you? Yeah.

So maybe that's kind of like we say that every couple of episodes. Well, it's like when fucking Hey Hey It's Saturday was on Wednesday afternoons or something. Yeah, that's a good point. It just made no sense. That's a really good point. Whenever they brought it back on a Wednesday, I'm like, guys, don't take the piss. No, that was stupid. So that's why I was a genius naming my award-winning radio show The Night Show.

Because as long as the sun's down, it fucking works. You know what I mean? But then what if someone is listening overseas and it's broad daylight and they're like, I've been excluded. Trust me, no one's listening overseas. What about if they're listening to your podcast? No, that's a good point. They do, actually.

You're right. You're right, Jenna. Well, don't poke holes in my theory. You can't keep everyone happy. You and your woke agenda. Woke mob. If anyone's the hole piker in this room, we know who it poke holes in my theory. You can't keep everyone happy. You and your woke agenda. Woke mob. If anyone's the hole poker in this room, we know who it is. Oh, my God.

And it's not me. And it's not you, Jenna. I am clean. Actually, sorry, that's a disgusting. I didn't suggest otherwise. I know. I just said you were a top. Have things changed over summer?

Absolutely not. In fact, it was cold in winter. I'm like, can I have sex with you with my jacket on? Honestly, sex with shirts on, I'm into it. No, I'm actually recently, yeah, the lovely person that I'm exclusive with now, details on that to come, the hook and tease. To come, wouldn't have said come. Okay.

I get fully naked. I never used to. I never felt comfortable enough. But I feel comfortable. I get naked. That's so nice. But there's something about leaving the shirt on that feels like, oh, we're so into it that we couldn't even take the clothes off.

We just had to rush into it. Oh, my God. We couldn't be bothered with the admin. We just needed to get into it. Yeah. There's so much urgency. Just pull the pants to the side. That's fun.

Fully clothed. I haven't tried that. Oh, give it a go. What if I wore a skirt? Yeah, you'd pull it up. Yeah, absolutely. Or a kilt. A kilt.

Surely you've got one lying around, Jenna. Yeah. I've just been fucked in a kilt. I just went to Scotland. Oh, why didn't you bring me back a kilt? I went to Hogwarts. Wow. You took me to Let's Fictional.

No, I went to where it was CGI'd on. Actually, it was boring. I drove past a hill and there was a man there dressed as Hagrid. He's like, she's wearing a whole watch. That's a fucking Tesco. We're all talking about people becoming punishers and always bringing up their been to Europe. My parents are now those people because they did their Europe trip first time overseas. Oh, yeah, of course.

Mark and Jane. Yeah. Mark and Jane. What are their names? Ian and Jane. Sorry, it's been a while. Mark's a brother. Well, at least they're in the family.

Paula and Sam. Just completely wrong names. wrong genders and everything. Anyway. Sorry. Dad was like, mate, look at this video I got of the Hogwarts Express. He holds the phone up to me. Yeah. And I was like, that's very good.

It's just a video of the train. It's like a minute 30 video. And he goes, no, wait till they blow the horn on the thing. Uh-huh. You know how the trains go. Yeah, the steam. What do you call that? Not a horn.

What would you call that? I think horn. What would you call that? I think it's a horn. I think it's a whistle. Wait till the train beeps, basically. And I'm like, okay. So I sat there for 45 seconds. The video ends and he goes, oh, that's the wrong video. Oh, yeah, that's the wrong thing.

And then puts it on again. I'm like, oh, my God. I know what a beep on a train sounds like. Actually, I do believe you. God bless you. I don't want to bore everyone and show you my Europe trip videos. It's a bit late for that. But I could.

Oh, fuck off. I'm kidding. Shall we get the first Is It Just You for Season 6 on? Oh, yeah, that's what we're doing, isn't it? Yeah, let's do it. Let's jump on. Who have we got on the phone today? Well, today, for the very first Is It Just You for 2024 and Season 6 of the podcast,

we go all the way to New York where we have the beautiful Matt live. Hello, Matthew. Hello, gents. How's it going? Oh, so it's an Aussie in New York. Aussie in New York, yep. Can you do a fake accent at least, Matt, so it sounds like you're an American person? Hey, couple of Mitches. How are you? Hey, Matt. I'm so good. Matt, want to get a bagel and a cup of coffee? Pretty good. Pretty accurate. Thanks. Hey, Matt, do you want to bagel and a cup of coffee? Pretty good. Pretty accurate. Thanks.

Hey, Matt, do you want to go ahead and finger me in the parking lot behind Taco Bell? Oh, my God. That's American as fuck, wasn't it? When you all are putting on the American accent, I can't even tell which one it is. That sounded a bit like Jenna. That was me. Yeah, now Jenna's always wanted to be fingered in the parking lot behind Taco Bell. I was going to say, you give Jenna a $2 enchilada and she is open. Matt, Matt, how long have you been listening to the show?

And what are you doing in New York? Yeah. I've been listening for a couple of years, actually. So big fan. Never caught up, though. So a bit of an honour to be the first one of the season. Yeah. And I moved to New York 18 months ago and loving it.

It's awesome to be here. Is it working? I am, yeah. I'm a lawyer. A lawyer in New York? Holy shit. God, succession. I'm a lawyer. A lawyer in New York? Holy shit. God, Succession. I'm picturing SVU.

I'm picturing Succession. What's it more like? Murder or family affair? No murder yet, but you never know. It is actually maybe a little bit Succession-esque. Oh. Are you queer, single? I am, but I'm in a relationship with my lovely partner.

Did you meet him there or did you take him over to New York with you? I did. He's an American, so he's actually from Tampa in Florida. Oh, my God. That's so cute. I want photos in the DMs, Matt. This is beautiful. Are you going to be bringing him back to Australia to meet the family and shit?

He came over for Christmas and I'm like, trying to persuade him. But Americans are very loyal to America. So it's a bit of a slow, slow burn. Are you going to try and get him to move here permanently? I mean, I don't know. I feel like I want to be in Australia permanently.

Like, Oz is the best. Yeah. But you never know. Like, America is pretty good. We're pretty good at peer pressure. So if push comes to shove, we'll give him a call. Yeah.

Put him on now, in fact. If I was home, I'd actually put him on, then you'd get the actual American accent. What's his name? Is it something really American, like Chad? Oh, no, it's not. Yeah, not Chad. Like Grayson, no.

His name's Nick. Oh. Oh, an American. Are you in a blizzard right now? He's in New York City. I'm on the street. I'm walking home, so excuse any noise. Are you in a blizzard right now? No, he's in New York City. I'm on the street. I'm walking home, so excuse any noise. Are you in Manhattan?

I am, yeah. I live in Tribeca. What streets are you on? Give us the streets. What avenue? I'm on Broadway and Worth. I know that well. I lived in New York for a year, but we won't go into that.

No follow-up questions. So we're going to get you to do an Is It Just Me of your own. Give us a little taste. Is it deep or is it dumb? Ooh, I mean, it's kind of both. Perfect. I think it's going to tick all the boxes. That's confusing.

Great, great, great. Let's not fuck about. All right, let's jump in. First issue of the new season. Maddie, take it away. Is it just me or...? When you were young and people would talk about black and white movies, you actually thought the whole world was in black and white.

I mean, I think that's a you thing. No, it was me too. Did you, Jenna? Yeah, it was me too. I thought so as well. What do you guys mean? What do you mean, Matt? When you were young and your grandparents or parents would talk about how TV was black and white and you were a little kid,

I thought that the whole world was actually in black and white and they hadn't had colour until they were much older. See, I never thought that the world used to be in black and white. But if I am picturing a memory, like if mum says to me, oh, you're great, great grandmother, blah, blah, blah. If I am picturing a memory, like if mum says to me, oh, you're great, great grandmother, blah, blah, blah. When I'm picturing that mentally in my mind, I picture it in black and white because it's fucking old. Yeah, yeah.

Matt just got hit by a bus. No, I don't know. I'm pretty sure there's a theory about this, isn't there? You've got to back me up. You've got to back me up. It's true. So I remember when I was little, I used to ask my mum, how was it like living in black and white? Your mum's not that fucking old.

Your mum is gorgeous and young. How dare you? No, guys, that doesn't make sense. The world is not black and white. Yeah, but in a child's mind. Oh, my God. It's different. So colour TV came in in 1954, I just Googled,

which means that if your theory was correct, Matt, that the whole Titanic sinking would have been in black and white. No blood. We can't see anything. Yeah, absolutely. Wait, what world events that were in black and white would be dreadful? The war?

World war? Yeah, how would they know about red poppies, for starters? Oh, my God, true. That's a really good point. The rainbow? Wasn't it Dorothy and that elephant she was with? What's that show? Wizard of Oz.

Because this is your moment. Jenna and I have our moment on Wednesday. Correct. There is a screen loading behind you. I saved this for AD debrief. I'm loading up a website called Berg Trainer. Oh. Is that Megan's brother Berg, is it?

Berg Trainer. Love his music. Berg Trainer is an AI-generated Berghain entry simulator. It gets you ready for the day that you go to Berghain. I want you two to both try and see if you'll get in because I am the only person in this podcast to have been let in to the most elite nightclub in the world, Berghain. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Ick. So, Mitchell, would you like to go first? I've loaded up a Berghain simulator. Do I get to be rude to them? Is that how it works? Do whatever you want. Okay.

Let me tell you, it's cold. It's Germany. You've lined up for two hours. You want to come across as cool, not weird. You don't want to get in, but it would be fun. You're also happy to have fucking sex on the dance floor. Okay. Well, that wouldn't be happening, but sure.

Let's see if it works. Alright, so have a look at the screen. I'm going to load the Burkine Simulator. Welcome to Burkine Trainer. The trainer needs access to your camera and microphone for analysing your body language. Turn up the volume and say okay to start your training. Okay.

Dunker. It's working. We're in. It's working? Oh my god. No, you're not in yet. Oh, it's picking up your face. Move. Oh, I'll get in. It's just picking up're in. It's working. Oh, my God. No, you're not in yet. Oh, it's picking up your face. Move. Oh, I'll get in. It's just picking up my face and analysing my body language. This is the actual bird hide, by the way. Oh, there's no line.

Cool. I'm trying to look really polite and sober. Have you been here before? No. What's the vouch beard? What DJ is on tonight? What DJ is say? Have you been here before? No. What DJ is on tonight? What DJ is on? Yeah. Can you turn it down a bit?

Are you drunk? Have you drunk something? Yeah. It doesn't fit today. Oh, you didn't get in. You didn't get in. Is that actually the vibe? Where's the rest of the line up?

Yeah that's what I said There's no line It's a simulator Right Sorry about that Alright Jenna Get in Mitch's chair We're doing you He was very rude

Hang on You don't get to do it again What is that? That's still the That's the club Oh right I thought I was going insane. No, you're at the club.

Okay. Sorry, Mitch, you didn't get in. Honestly, what business do I have in Black and Fireman? I'm not going to thrive in that sort of fucking environment. Come on, Jenna. Mitch, you're going to have to hide from the... Now, don't speak. Welcome to Berkine Trainer. The trainer needs access to your camera and microphone

for analysing your body language. Turn up the volume and say OK to start your training. OK. Oh, my God, it's just smiling like a... It's found Jenna's face. So this is exactly where I stood, Mitch. Sven will ask you three questions. Try and face the camera more front on.

Yeah, there we go. Answer them appropriately to get in. It's measuring your sadness, Jenna. You're at 4% on. Yeah, there we go. I answer them appropriately to get in. It's measuring your sadness, Jenna. You're at 4% sadness. Oh, my God. 5% euphoria, 3% amaze, 0% anger. Have you been here before? Nah.

Why should I let you in? I want to dance. He said, why should I let you in? I want to dance. Bist du drauf? Are you on drugs? No. Nah.

Oh no, she wasn't let in. No, that's so mean. They said, are you on drugs? Jenna. And you were like, no. That's what everyone not on drugs would say. No. Really defensively.

Wait, should I do it? Yes. Because I've been let in. And this will test how authentic the simulator is. Because I am cool. I've been let in to Burkine. Okay. So reset it.

Burkine trainer. I've been here, babe. The trainer needs access to your camera and microphone. I've been in. It's all good. I'm going to see if you can charm this fucking fake AI one. I charmed the real man. Is it the same guy?

Okay. Okay, how old are you? I'm 28. Who's playing tonight? DJ Von Knuckle. He's great. Are you on drugs? No, not at the moment.

Maybe later. Not today. Ah! Ha, you didn't get let in either. I didn't get let in. Now, this simulator's a crock of shit, guys. Clearly. Also, who's DJ Von Knuckle?

I don't know. I freaked out. Well, in real life, all he asked was how many is in your party. Yeah, okay. So it can't be that real. I reckon that's why he asked if you're on drugs, because DJ Von Knuckle doesn't fucking exist or whatever you said. He went, who's playing tonight?

You said that. And then he went, are you on drugs? No. I feel bad now. You can't just invent DJs and expect them to go, yep, now that. Well, I have a friend who's dating a Berlin-based DJ, and she said to me, you need to know who's playing. So I Googled who's playing that night.

And they didn't even ask. No, they didn't ask. But she sent me German. Like, she sent me the translations in German to learn ahead of time. And she didn't even go with you? No, she wasn't in town. Oh. Yeah.

I'm just still a bit baffled at how you managed to spend four hours there. Yeah, what did you do? Aside from walk around. I just spoke to many people. Were they speaking in English? Not all of them, no. A lot of them were speaking in German. I just like walked around and met people and had deep conversations.

Yeah, it was really fun, but not for me. Oh, can I just show you? This is my friend who did, she lives in Germany. This is exactly what she said i had to learn be like we feel in or we feel in person and then i say i've been and i freaked out so i just said it and it's actually what hope do you have remembering that when you can't even remember anyone's name in english it's a really good point. Anyway, listen, it's not for me. I'm not a clubber, but I love a story and I love to say that I've done something.

So I've said that I've done it and I'm happy. I mean, I don't mind a nightclub, but that, nah, not for me. No, not for me either. That's extreme. Not for me either. I don't know what I, I actually kind of blacked out. This is exactly what I did. Oh God, he was spiked.

No. No, I did not. That's why you were there for four hours. To be honest. He was probably there for five minutes. This is exactly what I did. Oh, God. He was spiked. No. No, I did not. That's why you were there for four hours. To be honest. He was probably there for five minutes. It just felt like four hours. Shut up. To be honest, I couldn't find the exit, so I was half trapped.

I couldn't get it. It's like five levels. And then someone tied me up with handcuffs in the swing. One thing led to the other, and now I've got gonorrhea. No, when I went in, this guy was next to me, and he went, I was timing the bug hide, and I said, yeah. He went, do you want me to show to me. And he went, first time into Burgheim? And I said, yeah. Do you want me to show you around? And I went, oh, I'm all good.

I'll have a one-way. What did he say? Do you want me to show you around? Oh. And then about an hour and a half later, I saw him. And we locked eyes. And he said, hi. I went, hi.

He's like, yo, you're fine, do you want to go to the lounge room? I went, yeah. So we kind of sat and spoke for a while. He went, do you want to go to drink? I was like, sure. But I stayed sober. So I had soda waters all night. Sober in Burg sat and spoke for a while. He went, do you want to go to drink? I was like, sure. But I stayed sober. So I had soda waters all night. Sober in Berghain.

Why would you bother? I wasn't drinking on the trip. It was good. It felt good. I remember everything. And I'll tell every story starting now. I landed at 4pm in Glasgow, Scotland. No.

I got stuck in a blizzard in Glasgow. Shocking. Oh, dear. Yeah, it was not good. Anyway, yeah, that was my Euro trip. It's all done. I'm very happy. And I'm back. I got stuck in a blizzard in Glasgow Shocking Oh dear Yeah it was not good Oh no Anyway yeah My Euro trip It's all done I'm very happy

And I'm back And I made it back alive guys That's all I wanted Okay well everyone Lock that into your memory That's the vibe of Chewy's Holiday Because we're going to decide Whose was the most boring

Oh yeah Okay well let me just say The vibe was Overarching themes I didn't enjoy solo travel But I learnt about myself That I'd rather do things with people. I mean, I'm a radio presenter and a podcaster, for God's sake.

Is it shocking that I want to do things with people? Yeah. And I also am so go with the flow. I was walking down the street, and you know how indecisive I am? I'm in Amsterdam. I'm like, there's nine different canals. I can't pick. I can't.

So I'd just do one and then be crippled with anxiety that I didn't do the third or the fourth or the fifth or the sixth or the seventh or the eighth or ninth. I want someone to decide for me. Yeah. No, I'm with you. Solo travel wasn't for me. I'm a little bit jealous. I wish I was the sort of person that could do that and enjoy it.

Yeah, me too. Me too. It's not because I don't like my own company. I'm great, but I just prefer to fuck around with someone else, you know? Also, I hate to be really honest, but my frontal lobe is too cooked in for life change at 20. Everyone's like, you'll be a new man. I'm like, guys, this thing is baked. This is in fact like, you know when you go to a Subway and get a Subway cookie and it's

too crunchy and you go, you've overdone this fucking thing. That's what my frontal lobe is. I'm too cooked in. I'm too developed. You're like, I'm stuck with this version of me. Yeah. I didn't keep the docket. There's no exchanging now. Absolutely not therapist can try and try and try and i

can change service level stuff but like my identity and my personality you get you're stuck with this guys sorry fucked off at our therapist by the way oh why oh because my last appointment in december so close to christmas oh no she unlocked all this like deep-rooted shit that I'd been burying and then was like, anyway, I'll see you in March. So I'm like, you can't just fucking do that. Trigger me and then I can't see you until March. Thanks a lot. God, bitch.

I'm actually, I'm the opposite. I'm running away from her because I cancelled an appointment with an hour's notice. Oh, no. And if you cancel within 24 hours, you still have to pay the full fee plus a cancellation fee. But they don't have my card details on file.

So they call me every week. Oh, God. Why don't you just pay it? Just cop the loss. Because I also want to go to therapy. But I now can't because I'm going to have to pay twice in one go. That's what I'm saying. Just pay it.

You reckon? And go to therapy? Yeah. You're going to avoid therapy for the rest of your life because you didn't pay one bill i feel pretty good at the moment so you i know i'm not getting therapy imagine he goes right off the deep end he's miserable as all fuck but he doesn't want to pay the 160 bucks or whatever i know i'll just deal with it i know it's like someone contracting meningococcal the doctor's got the vaccine but you have to pay your last cancellation fee like no not over my dead body.

Literally. Are you finding the lack of frequency of appointments not helpful? Because when I saw my old therapist, Patrick, it was every fortnight. And I haven't been since early December. Yeah, but like before that, how often were your appointments? Because like mine are every two months. And I'm like, that's not enough. I forgot what we spoke about last time. I did every fortnight when I started.

Then it became every month. And now it's like every six, eight weeks. Now it's never again. Yeah, it's been two months, yeah. You've been blacklisted from the building. I did every fortnight when I started then it became every month and now it's like every six, eight weeks. Now it's never again. Yeah, it hasn't but it's been two months, yeah. You've been blacklisted from the building. I have, yeah.

I'll see if they've got a post with your face on it. Maybe, maybe, yeah. Next time I get in. Totally. No, I've been to Burgon. I'm a change man. I don't need therapy.

That place changed me. I'm a Burgonator. Burgonator. But I don't think you're supposed to talk about it so you fucked up the first rule. Well, I'm a podcaster so they shouldn't have let me in. I bought a dangly earring just so I looked more gay.

I'm like, yeah, that ain't all sex, receiving. Wink. Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. Thank you. Just 2%, that's all. So we do. So we do. Season six is back, fuckers.

Today, he's got an aubergine, five kilos of pork mince, gyprock and a hammer. And he'll be making beef bourguignon. How the fuck does that work?

Back in the day, that would have been my nightmare. But I reckon these days I could do that if they gave me five ingredients and said, just figure something out. The amount of fucking menu log sponkon you do, you'd hope so. Menu log. That's literally not cooking. Well, the amount of marley spoon sponkon that you do.
