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. I'd rather be dead than be called Gunkle. Oh, that nickname for gay uncle.

Just because I'm gay doesn't mean you need to change the word. Imagine if they were like, God, he's put on weight. Funkle's here, you fat uncle. Now here's Mitch Chud and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello. Where's Chury Jenner? I don't know. Let's find out. Chury, what's going on? Hello. Hello. Yes, it's Mitch Turi reporting from the charred remains of what looks to be a Nissan Pulsar on the side of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel. I'm in immense traffic.

He's in a traffic jam. He's been stuck there for ages. I've been waiting in the studio, ready to go for about two hours now. I did a Pilates class. Yeah, I've been waiting in traffic. I'm not even joking for like, I'd say an hour and 10 minutes, an hour and 15. Was that like standstill traffic, the sort of traffic where you can get out of the car, wander around? Everyone's getting out of their car. People are turning their engines off. I had my hazards on. I don't know why. I saw one

TikTok that was like, Oli's wear hazards in a crash. so my hazards are on. It's so bad. I'm like, I opened Twitter to check for updates on live traffic, but all my Twitter porn came up. When you weren't driving, I hope. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, I was in a standstill, and all my Twitter porn came up, and it was very embarrassing because I was trying to find the traffic updates, and I had to make sure no one could see it. Wait, do you not have a separate Twitter account for porn,

or is it all just under Mitch Turi? No, I don't have a professional Twitter account. Oh, right. There you go. Is it under your name, Mitch Turi, the porn account? No, no. It's some dumb name like Stroopwafel lover or something ridiculous. Okay. Yeah, nah. Same. Yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, we all do. Jenna gave me that tip. Thanks for that, Jenna. No problem. So I was chatting to Mitch before, idiots, and I said, okay, it looks like the Harbour Tunnel. Why don't you just take the bridge? There's been this huge accident, car explode.

It's not looking good for him. I said, why don't you take the bridge? Apparently he'd just gone that little bit too far past the exit. It was too late for him to divert. So he's been stuck there for ages. No, I, I was probably probably 100 metres past the diversion. I could see the police and the road authority people letting everyone out behind me and I'm like, please, I'm just here.

I was like seven cars in front. So I had to wait the hour. Apparently people in the tunnel had to leave their cars and evacuate. What? Yeah. Let's check the traffic report just to paint a picture of how bad it has been for Cheery the last hour and a bit. WSFM time saver traffic.

Good afternoon, Jeff Wallace on WSFM. Car fire for the ED tunnel southbound that shut down the tunnel and the harbour tunnel. All traffic on the freeway north. Hang on, that said southbound, Cheery. Is this just one big lie? Are you a liar? I'm on FaceTime.

I'm also going northbound. Apparently the crash was southbound, but they've closed the whole tunnel off. I suppose you shouldn't fuck with a car on fire. I understand. Even if you're heading north, you don't want to drive past that shit. It's not ideal. Well, my mum called me because she knows that's the way I drive to work and there's nothing worse than when a mother hears a traffic or there's been a crash.

She always calls and she goes, it wasn't you, was it? Anyway, I called her and she's now on her when a mother hears a traffic or there's been a crash, she always calls and she goes, it wasn't you, was it? Anyway, I called her and she's now on her, it's an electric car bandwagon and the electric cars are blowing up and it's going to start happening more. Has your mum been listening to fucking John Laws? Yes, absolutely. By the way, my mum's exactly the same except she just sees anything in Sydney. There's a fucking drive-by shooting in Bankstown. She's like, did you make it? Oh, thank God you picked up. My mum's the same. My mum will hear

a siren drive past the house and she'll go, I better call your father. I'm like, mum, he's watching maths in the living room. Oh, I'm moving. I'm moving. Hold on. I'm moving. We shouldn't be talking to you on the phone while you drive. Are you going to be here soonish? I was going to do the whole show via fucking FaceTime, but we can just wait for you. I reckon give me 15, I'll be in. But I will say this is the most productive I've ever been. I replied to 20 emails.

I bought some Amazon products. I made a call. Like, I called my grandma. It was great. Because you were that bored. Hurry up! Oh, goodness me. There's not much they can do. They're in the traffic jam too,

darling. Anyway... No, no, no. You're not wrong. Yeah, we'll just hit pause. We'll see you in a bit, alright? Yeah. Yeah, okay. I'll see you in a bit. Ta-ta. Bye. Well, hello you. You're actually here. Hello you, I am. I'm here. I'm alive. God, that was so stressful. My Apple Watch was like,

are you recording an exercise? I'm like, no. I'm stuck in traffic. I'm very stressed. It's so frustrating because it's like, there's nothing you can do. No. There's nothing you can do. No.

And it's like, I feel like I want to talk to the cars around me. It's when you're at a coffee shop and you're waiting for a coffee, you have that gut instinct. Maybe this is just a Mitch Turi thing, where you talk to everyone around you. No, I've never had that instinct. Why would you be in the doctor's office? You're next to someone and you're waiting and you go, oh, God, sniffles got you too, huh? No. That's what I do.

Oh, I wanted to put my window down and go, could this be any more inconvenient? I don't know. I think I've just got a bit of a fear of rejection because there's nothing more crushing than when you actually strike up a conversation and they don't play ball. Oh, it's mortifying. And that seems to happen with me. you actually strike up a conversation and they don't play ball. Oh, it's mortifying. And that seems to happen with me. Yeah, but practice, because I love you with all my heart,

but there is a little bit of fear that strikes me, even when you look at me after 10 years of friendship. Really? Say something to me like you were in a cafe. Thank you. I'll get the bacon egg roll. I'm just going to stand here. Thanks, chickie.

God, I can't believe how much they charge for almond milk. Pardon me? 70 cents for almond milk. I know. I know. I know. And you know what? I was on oat and I actually- I've got to go.

Okay. It started well. You don't rush out of it that quickly. Mitchell, that was actually really good. And that was a great conversation because everyone's upset about the price of almond milk. Well, it happened recently where I was rejected. I tried to strike up a conversation.

You know how I said I was doing my cycling in the city course? Yeah, of course. Over the weekend. In Aubergine and Famuina. Famuina and Aubergine. Uh-huh. Yes. So I did that over the weekend and there was like 12 of us

and they made us ride to Central Station. It was a little bit scary. Wait, wait, wait. This was your bike training? Yeah. Oh, my God, you've done it? Yeah. Oh, how did it go? That's what I was just talking about no it didn't click no it didn't

just click my cycling in the city course yes yes it started with a bit of theory uh-huh which is the closest i've felt to high school since fucking high school yeah it was so triggering like the powerpoint and everything and the teacher couldn't figure out how to use the bloody projector i was like oh my god we are in high school again um and then after like 40 minutes of theory they're like okay now we're gonna ride to central station yeah from fucking sydney park oh that's a big right and that is and that is also city streets but it turns out there's quite a few back streets with cycle lanes which is good to know nice yeah thanks for them all but yeah they're making us practice a particular turn and like what to do in this situation who do you give

way to whatever and they were doing it out the front of a cafe and i said to one of the other ladies doing the course i was like oh my god i'm so nervous to do with an audience i know this is a podcast but i'm just going to show you the look she gave me yeah okay yeah so say that to me oh my god there's people watching i'm nervous as an audience oh my god there's people watching i'm nervous as an audience oh that's rude she didn't like you. I would have just... She looks like one of the chickens on Chicken Run with that purse fucking mouth of hers. A claymation lip. I know that.

Very that. Very claymation. So she wasn't liking you? Well, we later got talking, but there's something about striking up a conversation with someone and they give you dead silence and it's not like they didn't hear you. No. She acknowledged that she heard me and just didn't add to it. And I'm like, you could stab me in the abdomen and it would hurt less than that.

I'm completely with you. Yeah. Because everything that she wants to say is being said with her eyes. Yes. In that moment. Shut up. Ride your bike. I mean, I wouldn't get stuck in traffic like you as a cyclist, would I?

No. And it would have been so awkward because I had an erection from the Twitter porn. Oh, my God. I would have gotten out of the car and they would have been like, all right, I have to shut the street down again. Mess on the highway. Oh. No, I believe that there's some souvenirs to be had this week.

I was promised last week. Yes. From both of your trips, there were souvenirs. Oh, fuck. I forgot. Oh, I remember. Oh, for God's sake. You know, they're the only two souvenirs I haven't given out and they're sitting on my

bedside table. I completely forgot. Oh, God. I completely forgot. I'm sorry. I've lost the interest, frankly. No, you're going to love it. I know you're going to love it because this isn't like a classic souvenir.

This is catered for you and, Jenna, yours is catered for you. Oh, well, the ones I got are good. You brought yours? Yeah. Maybe we should hold them for next week so we can all do it. Actually, no, hold them for next week because we can all do it. Actually, no. Hold them for next week because I didn't get you any souvenirs because I didn't go away, as you've established.

But I'm going to Melbourne for Taylor Swift this weekend. Oh, my God. Taylor's in town. Maybe I'll get you a souvenir then. Yeah. Oh, that's good. By the time this episode is out, I will have already seen the show. Can't wait to talk about it.

Well, I'm going the next week. I am too. Are you? Yeah, I'm going. The amount of times you've besmirched Ms. Swift on this podcast and now you're going. And I bet you didn't pay a cent, did you? I bet you didn't pay a cent.

When you said you hate going to concerts. I hate going to concerts. But tell Swift. I am in the corporate label box, yes. Oh, I knew it. But I'm taking Michelle, my mum. Oh, okay. She's so excited she said she said i saw on nine news a tiktok so she doesn't have tiktok but she saw the tiktok on nine news but

she said it was without audio you know how they overlay tiktoks but they mute it because the journalist is speaking she went i think there are good shoes for taylor which is the reputation period and i want to wear them to the to the, so I'm going to go to Miller's. So she got all that information from a Nine News TikTok. And the reputation period, like we're talking Jurassic here, guys. She thinks it's a period. Not era. Not era.

The periods tour. Yuck. That was probably their first idea. Why don't we call it periods tour? No, think about it, Taylor. It wouldn't be. You're right. I couldn't sleep call it Periods Tour? No, think about it, Taylor. You're right. I couldn't sleep last night and I caught myself because I saw something on Nine News, actually, about the

fact that a lot of people were logging on to Flight Tracker to track Taylor Swift's private jet as it flew into Melbourne. I did, yeah. You did? Of course I did, yeah. I thought you weren't that much of a fan of hers. No, but I'm very environmentally friendly, so I'm anti-private jet. I was just curious and I knew that she landed around midnight,

and so I jumped on there. Good reference. Yeah. I know, right? Surely she planned that. I logged on because I couldn't get to sleep, and I caught her just as she was flying over Nowra. She was running a bit late.

She didn't get there until 1ish. Gorgeous. Did she really land at 1? God, that's crazy times. She's amazing. And there were all these bloody fans at Melbourne Airport scaling the fence with posters and shit. And there's not one photo of her getting off the flight.

You'd think she'd throw them a wave, wouldn't you? Totally. She gets in the waste bin, doesn't she? Yes. She hides in like broom closets to just get around. It's like there's no secret that it's you. No, you're right. Everyone knows that it's Taylor Swift's jet.

Yeah, we're tracking your private jet, babes. Yeah. But actually at one point on the flight tracker, she was the number one trending and then all of a sudden she jumped to number two trending and she was overtaken. I was like, what the fuck's this? It was like a helicopter, the bloody Air Force in London. I was like, oh, dear, there's an incident.

What's going on? Prince Charles, right? Or King, sorry, the King in his big prostate. Would the Air Force get involved with that? Yeah, because there's an incident. What's going on? There's Prince Charles, right? Oh, King. Sorry, sorry. The King in his big prostate. Would the Air Force get involved with that? Yeah, because he's got cancer. He's terminal. A psychic on TikTok told me he'll be dead in a month. He's not terminal.

I feel that we would have heard about that by now if he was dead. No, he's in the process of dying. No, he's not. And Kate Middleton's in a coma. So where would the Air Force chopper have been taking him to and from? How moral. I could only assume. He's ill.

He can't be flying. Well, that's where the Queen perished. Balmoral. He's not going to perish. I think he will. Mark my words. What a shit guy if he does, right? I know.

You wait around that long to be king and then you fucking cark it. And poor Camilla's out there doing all his duties. And it's like, imagine performing those duties knowing deep down that a lot of people don't want to see you they're not happy to see you yes that's who i feel bad for camilla parker bowls like she's waited her whole life she's been hated now she's queen that her husband goes and cocks it she's no longer royal she's gonna have to work at a jc penny yeah she'll be serving your mum at miller's seriously the tk max do you remember me that'll be five pounds i'm actually on that note well i was gonna, but my husband didn't last long enough to get the money printed, so it's my grandma.

I love Camilla. I think that she gets a shit run. Me too. I'm team Diana. She didn't do anything wrong. I'm team Diana. Okay, well, what are you wearing to Taylor quickly? Do you have an outfit?

You'll see it on my Instagram. Oh, I hate it when he does that. Are you going, Jenna? Yeah, I am. When? On the Monday. No, when did he ask? I would never do that to you, Jenna.

I couldn't help myself. What period are you? Let me guess. 1966. 1989. 84. She's not that fucking old. No, no.

I mean the show. You're doing 1989 for sure. No. I'm midnights. Why? Because I've got a top and it says, Karma is a cat purring on my lap because it loves me. Oh, that's actually really cute.

Did you already have that or did you buy it especially? I bought it especially. Wow, okay. Yeah. Well, I've got a wristband on, a tailored wristband. Oh, and I bought my friendship bracelet kit to make. I'm making one. That's it now.

You know what I was going to do? Yeah. Do you remember that music video for her song, what's it called again? The one that's like, it's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me. Anti-hero.

Anti-hero. Do you remember how there was a point in the video where she stepped on the scales and then there's a shot of the scales and it just shows the word fat? Oh. And then she got kind of cancelled for it. People were like, that's a bit unnecessary. It's a bit fat phobic, a bit fat shamey.

And so she cut that part out of the video. Instead, she just now stands on the scales, looks down, and like the other tailor, you know, the devil on her shoulder tailor, shakes her head. But they don't include the word fat plastered across the screen. I was just going to get a shirt that says fat with the scales on it. And I really liked the idea. But then I was like, it didn't go down well for her.

It probably won't go down well for me. At the concert, no, they'll eat you. The Swifties will eat you. They'll probably slit your throat. They're brutal. Oh, yeah. I don't know. From what I've gathered, the Swifties ought not be fucked with.

So I'm just not going to bother. Absolutely not. Well, I was going to go as a paper mache private jet. But I am going to the Universal box, so I don't want to upset the executives. Maybe not. Yeah, no. Well, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show with two Is It Just Me's.

Every episode, in fact. Every episode. You're right, because there's two now. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. Jenna's in the room. Yep.

Do you want to go first, Mitch? Sure. I'll kick things off. That's a good intro, guys. Yeah. Good karma. Glad you made it. That's Siri.

Any time a Taylor Swift song's mentioned, it plays. How was the summer for you guys? It was cruel. Oh, wow. Oh, well done. I'll tell you what, Jenna. When we did Secret Santa and I inherited that Archer reset, Noah loved it.

You could call him the Archer. Sorry. You didn't fucking have the Archer ready, did you? I didn't. No, I didn't. Move on. Why did you choose a B-side? Go with a single.

Because I was challenging your ability. I'm not that quick. I was working at this radio station when they wanted to debut the Archer as soon as it came out. And as it was going to air, like the moment it dropped, they played it. As it was going to air, they were like, we probably shouldn't have played this. It's a bit silly for Kiss. Is this one? This one's...

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I stood on the mountain. Yeah. I'm ready to fucking fight. And it doesn't... There's no extra beats. That whole...

It's consistent like that the whole time. I'll be the outro. I love Exile. We can't keep doing this. No, this is terrible for non-Swifties. You're getting me all pumped up, though. I'm keen. I'm going to go piss during the Evermore era, mind you.

No, yeah, rightly so. Yeah. I'll have smoko during 1966. Should I do my gym or what? I might cut off a turd during... During what? Me. I actually love me.

Me too. Everyone gives me shit. Learning is fun. Spelling is fun. Spelling is fun. You were pretty close. Me too. Everyone gives me shit. Learning is fun. Spelling is fun. You were pretty close. Thank you. Credit where it's due. Thank you.

Am I doing this or what? Okay. Are you ready? Is it just me or? How the fuck are we supposed to avoid screen time before bed? That's impossible in this trying time. It's so unrealistic because I think, okay, I won't look at my laptop. I won't look at my phone.

I'll just relax and unwind before bed. Yeah. What do I do? Watch TV. That's a fucking screen. No, I think a TV is different to a phone, isn't it? No, apparently all screens, the different to a phone isn't it or is it apparently all screens the key to a beautiful night's sleep a restorative rest the key to having a prosperous life is no

screen time before bed some people say an hour some people say fucking two hours oh no that's i can aim for 20 minutes and get that maybe like i switch the tv off do my skincare and whatever yeah and deliberately don't look at a screen for an hour? No. What else do you do to unwind if not watching TV? Totally. I read. Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I'm not doing that. That's stupid, Jenna. What do you read? I'm currently reading Scrub Lens. See, I'm already wanting to fall asleep, so maybe she's onto something. I've been trying to listen to audiobooks. Oh, yeah.

You've tried to get me onto the audiobooks. Sort of as I'm going to bed. But the problem is that I fall asleep while it's playing and then I don't know where I'm up to. Oh, that's the fucking worst. That happens when I do podcasts and I go through the Maccas drive-thru and I turn the volume down and by the time I got me my chicken, I'm like- Why don't you pause it?

Jay Shetty's already gone on another fucking rant about Gandhi. And I've missed it. Shetty's already gone on another fucking rant about Gandhi. And I've missed it. I once fell asleep with a podcast playing in my ears, and it just keeps auto-playing random things, podcast after podcast. I woke up the next morning, looked at my phone, and I was like 30 minutes into a Fitzy and Whipper podcast.

I was like, how the fuck did that happen? They really dug deep in Spotify to be like, you might like this. Mitch, have you heard of night shift on your phone? No, what's that? Oh, my God, it'll change your life. Night shift pulls all the blue light out of the screen and it makes it orange light, which is restorative to the eyes. However, it does make your phone screen bright orange, but it turns it on and you don't get tired

and you don't get that intense eye look. And I've scheduled it from 10.30pm to 7 at night. 7 in the morning. Okay, and does that make much difference? Absolutely not, I'm exhausted. Yeah, that's what I mean. It does nothing. My parents were right all along.

I actually get sore eyes from looking at Girl Green too much. It's just me on the fly. Do kids not get square eyes anymore? I had square eyes from sitting so close to animation domination on the Saturday morning Simpsons run. Well, they'd have like rectangle eyes because that was an era when TVs were square. Oh, my God.

They'd get the iPhone screen eyes. Yes. Isn't that crazy? Have you seen those videos on TikTok where like an old TV show, Friends, for instance. Yeah. They obviously filmed it with square TV screens in mind and then they did a digital enhancement or whatever, a DVD release where it's now in widescreen. Yeah. They obviously filmed it with square TV screens in mind. And then they did a digital enhancement or whatever,

DVD release, where it's now in widescreen. Yeah. And all these things have been revealed in the widescreen that no one knew were there, including like a Jennifer Aniston stand-in. Oh. Who they thought was cropped out because it was on a square TV. But then once they blew it out to widescreen,

there's just this random woman there with a script in Rachel's spot. She's got the Rachel blowout. No, she's not even bothering to look in the costume. She's just there to read lines with the other actors. Oh, that's so funny. And it's just shit like that. Like Malcolm in the Middle had a bunch as well. All these things that get revealed in the widescreen.

Oh, that's so creepy. So they shot it in widescreen, did they? Well, they must have. But then when they were editing it, they thought, ah, it's a fucking square. They're not going to see that. It's all good. Wow, that's so cool. That's interesting. I didn't see that. It's all good. Wow, that's so cool. That's interesting.

I didn't know that. It's quite funny to watch. The more you know. So are you feeling tired, are you? Well, this week, yes. I've had my sleep's out of whack this week. I don't know what's happened. What was Valentine's Day last night?

Maybe that's it. Did you get railed? I don't kiss and tell. Did you? Oh, don't, don't. The amount of messages. Did you tell our listeners, our idiots, to message me going, tell us? No.

You're boring. Oh, well, they all did. How was your Valentine's Day? You treated Sean? We were both sort of in the same boat. We were like, can't be fucked. We went all out the first year. This year we just went and got a pub feed.

Totally. I sent fucking flowers to Parliament House for him. He sent flowers to my place. Oh, they would have had to scan them for bombs. I know. I had to call them ahead of time and be like, is this going to be some sort of security threat? Are they going to get to him?

But no, there was like some gay in a reception. And he goes, it could be an issue, but leave it with me. I'll work with it. Some gay. So he had to make a note of it. Be like, guys, don't panic if flowers for Valentine's Day come. Oh, cute. That's cute.

That's nice. So you did have great anal sex. Oh, my God. Just let us know. Tell us come. Oh, cute. That's cute. That's nice. So you did have great anal sex. Oh, my God. Just let us know. Tell us about the book, Jenna. What's it called again? It's called Scrubland. Scrubland.

Did you have to scrubland before you went to bed with Sean? See, I don't really like reading books. They bore me too much. Yeah, nice hard spine. Do you know what I thought about doing instead, though, which I've done? I was like, instead of reading books because I don't fuck with books, what if I get a magazine subscription? Oh, Mitchell, you are the most 50-year-old woman in a 27-year-old body ever.

I subscribed to Wellbeing Magazine. Oh, that's a good idea. And they mailed me the first issue, and the return address is in Byfield Street, North Ryde. No. Wellbeing Magazine is actually neighbours with the studio here. That's the street we're on right now. That's so funny.

I just want to go pop down and meet my favourite rider. That's so funny. Hi, babe, love your work. Can you give me my horoscope a week ahead? I'm here. I was in the area. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Listening on Spotify.

Don't forget to leave a five-star rating. Now, coming up in episode 186 on Spotify, don't forget to leave a five-star rating. Now, coming up in episode 186 on Wednesday, Talkback Tings returns. Yeah. Cranky old John Laws, a fan favourite on the podcast. He's up to his old bullshit again. That man, the fact that he's still on air is impressive. If I can still be on air, I mean, in 70 years' time, imagine that. Imagine if this podcast still goes in 70 years.

Imagine the shit that we'd be able to get away with saying. Well, remember how I said that he took a long holiday? Last time we've had Talk Pack Dings, I said he took a long holiday. And then when he came back, he sounded less gravelly, like well-rested. He had a bit more energy. And he was being really nice to his callers. Not to spoil anything for Wednesday's episode, but nah, he's back to cranky old John, just as we love him. Yeah, that's good.

You know what? I don't want to listen to him because he's a happy man. I like enjoying the outbursts and the chicken sounds. I agree. It's good. And also on Wednesday, I've got a big pitch to make to you two. Now, you've been talking about this. What does it involve?

Something that we have been planning to do on the podcast in the past. We mentioned it in passing. Yes. And now I'm actually going to bring it to fruition. I can make it happen. Oh, my God, good. The show from the Bunnings sausage sizzle? No, not that.

Not that. All right. Well, whatever the announcement is, it's exciting. Well, I don't know how you're going to feel about it because I know you quite well. And you could be like. If it involves getting me out of the house or something that requires any more. It's all of the above. All of the above.

You know, straight after, you know, my single era began, I was so willing to get out of the house. I know. And now I'm back in. That didn't last long. I love it. How good are four walls and a roof? You do realise that more often than not, I'm also

within four walls and a door. I don't just sit out in meadows. He's got a point. You've really got me there. I've been bamboozled. What do I do? Back to V-Day fucking, it's all I've got. Did you have anal sex? My desperate clutching at straws.

Anyway, do you have your mind off? Should I? I'm dancing around, aren't I? Yes. Okay, it's a good reason why, and I'll tell you. Anyway, do you eat your wine? Should I? I'm sort of dancing around it, aren't I? Yes. Okay, it's a good reason why and I'll tell you. I'll tell you in my e-gym. Right. Right now. Is it just me or?

Have sugar-free drinks really upped their game in the last six months? Oh. What's the difference? Six months? Oh, my God. Think about the sugar-free. The zeros of it all. The max. The max. The zero. Coke Zero? Diet Coke?

Coke no sugar. I don't think they have Coke Zero anymore. No, it was and they rebranded it and the reason was because they're the only zero drink. You wanted a Fanta? You drink that sugar down. You get holes in your teeth. I think there is a sugar-free Sunkist and stuff. Yes. Mitchell, I don't know what happened or who at the Aspartame.

What's the chemical called? The fake sugar? I don't know. Aspartame? Aspartame? Stevia? Yeah. The CEO has upped it because you can now get Sprite Zero, Sprite No Sugar.

You can get Fanta Zero. You can get Red Fanta Zero. You can get Grape Fanta Zero. You can get Root Beer Zero. You can get Fanta Zero You can get Red Fanta Zero You can get Grape Fanta Zero You can get Root Beer Zero You can get Dr Pepper Zero You can get Sunkiss Zero You can get Solo Zero There are zeros everything And it's the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life

Are you across this? No because frankly I've got zero interest I'm not much of a soft drink guy Oh I see I live on soft drink And I got so over coke zero because it was the same repetitive shit yeah i mean i carbonate water in my soda stream you know i'm addicted to this you love it yeah i didn't even fucking i tried to open the bottle next to the mic hoping it would go hold on let me shake it up oh that was good. You know I love a bit of sparkling water.

Yes, I do. But soft drinks have never been hard for me to give up. You need to get into it because once you start, that is the only thing. No, he doesn't really need to. No, Jenna, the only thing that it's on my vice. Like if I see a zero, I will down it. You can get Powerade zero, Gatorade zero. Like once the doors have opened, like I'm just waiting for Big M zero.

Imagine how revolting that would be. Oak zero.ade zero. Gatorade zero. Okay. Like, once the doors have opened, like, I'm just waiting for Big M zero. Imagine how revolting that'd be. Oak zero. Oak zero. Oak zero. That's very good. Actually, when are they going to start doing, like, Almond M? Like, almond milk versions over strawberry milk? Surely that exists.

I'm going to Google. I reckon it would. Almond move. They'd be dumb not to do oat milk. Everyone loves oat milk. Yeah, that's true. Oat oak. Oat oak, yeah. Almond move. They'd be dumb not to do oat milk. Everyone loves oat milk. Yeah, that's true. Oat oak. Oat oak, yeah.

There is everything. You name a drink now and I will tell you if it comes in a zero option. Okay, go strawberry flavoured almond milk. Oh, yeah, right. Imagine the lactose free community having to live their life without a chalky milk. That's just cruel. Are they a community? Yes, they are.

All right. It exists. Oh, I bet it'd be so expensive. Almond chocolate milk by So Good. Oh, yeah, right. That's just like the one they sell at Woolies. Nippy's ice chocolate. Wow.

Chocolate's not my favourite flavour milk, sorry. Wait. I wanted strawberry. No, Nippy's has an ice chocolate, no added sugar. There's a Nippy's ice chocolate zero. There you go. Oh, my God. I mean, they've got, like, light milk, so an ice chocolate, no added sugar. There's a Nippy's ice chocolate zero. There you go. Oh, my God. I mean, they've got like light milk, so I suppose it's the same thing.

No, not chocolate milk. Strawberry. That's what I'm into. He's just Googled chocolate again. No added sugar. That's not what we want. That's not the same. That's not what we want.

No. That doesn't exist. But also, I'm not looking for sugar-free. I want a strawberry. I said quite specifically. Strawberry. Strawberry almond milk. Oh, sure.

Okay. Oh, God. You said, give me a milk and I'll see if it exists. specifically. Strawberry. Strawberry almond milk. Oh, okay. You said give me a milk and I'll see if it exists. Okay, strawberry, almond, milk. I can't. You're smelling. Nah, it's got recipes. That's all Google brings up. I'm not DIYing that shit.

This is on taste.com.au. So I can't just pick it up at the server. That's rubbish. I've just Googled diet sodas Australia. There are so many. I'm just sorry, but I'm just impressed. Good for you. It's it up at the server. That's rubbish. I've just Googled diet sodas Australia. There are so many. I'm just sorry, but I'm just impressed. Good for you. It's the way of the future.

And if you've seen a new diet drink, let me know. And next week, we're not going to talk about it. You know one thing I forgot to update you all on? What? You promised so boldly, as you often do. We'll update you next week. Well, you said we were going to update everyone on the poll we did. Who had the least boring summer break?

Oh, no. You wanted the poll. I didn't want to do it, but I was happy to do it. I'm not invested. I haven't lost any sleep. At what point did you suggest that we don't do it because you didn't want to do it? No, last week I just said I think the poll's stupid. In fact, I said you guys can have the title.

I don't even want the title. But then you said, all right, everyone go and vote idiots and we'll give you the results on Monday. All right. That's what you said. Do we have results of the poll that I don't care about but secretly am very invested in? Yeah.

Did you vote for yourself? Of course I did. And on Spotify. As soon as the episode dropped, I went mid-cheery. Well, my option was removed from Facebook. Yeah, what's with that? Yeah. Because I put the poll in Facebook. All three of us.

Yes, and I saw that. I voted for myself. And I wanted to go check. And then all of a sudden it was just two options. Cheery and Coombs. I don't know what happened there. That would have been one of our admins. But I laid eyes on it before Jenna was removed and there's also a poll on Spotify. Yeah, there is. And

do you want to know the most boring or the least boring? Well, I got drum rolls ready. Why don't you start with the least? Yeah, let's go least. Least. Yeah, the least boring. So, the winner.

It was you. Okay. Yeah, there you go. Oh, so I win? Yes. Yeah. I didn't want it. All right, well, then it defaults to the runner-up.

Jenna's not even in the poll anymore, so it's me. I won. Oh, congratulations. No, Jenna was flogging me in the poll when I saw it. So I had the most boring. Yeah, well, we knew that. Yours was the most. Sorry, that's me.

No, I found yours fascinating. Well, I did go into it saying I believe mine was boring. So it's nice to be correct as always. Because everyone agreed. Well, I thought mine would be the most fun. I brought back gonorrhea for God's sake. Yeah. And isn't that just fun for the whole family?

That is a lot of fun. It is funny bringing it back, presumably from the Netherlands. And my grandma, who is from the Netherlands, her name is Ria. It's kind of poetic. Really? Yeah. Her name is Ria. Susanna Maria Gromwood.

Wow. And I brought back Gunner Ria You said you were Going to take the trash out Are you Gunner Ria? Is that my friend Paula? No, that's your friend Donna Ria

Is it just me? That's enough of these two Now let's hear An Is It just me? That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? Yeah, this one came in on a couple of Mitch's on Instagram, which is where you can reach out to us if you have an idgum of your own, something you've noticed, something you hate. They've just passed away on the line. Or appreciate.

Valet, Abby, are you alive? Hi from the Central Coast. Yeah, sorry, I opened the door, sorry. Yeah, no worries. Not like you're on a hit podcast or anything. No worries. I just put the dishwasher on and a load of washing. Because I knew I was doing this and I respect you boys and Jenna so much.

We've done our itchums, Abbey. So you're up. Can you give us a tease? Is it like depressing? Is it funny? What are we dealing with? It's just, I think it's quite relatable for the Australian summer. And it's sort of backed off a bit now, but it was doing my head in over December, January kind of time.

Okay. I'm intrigued. You ready to jump in, Abs? I am, yes. Is it just me or? Is a good mozzie slap the most satisfying thing ever? Oh, yes. Ones that draw blood.

Oh, my God. When I see the death in my hand, it makes me so happy. The blood that seeps out, because it's my blood. You know when you slap a mozzie and then there's blood? That's the blood that they've stolen. Not necessarily yours. It could be someone else's. That's true.

Yeah. That's true. Would you get a lot of slappers, do you, Abby? Just like over the hot part of the summer. My backyard and where I live, they were just terrible. You couldn't go outside. It was dreadful. You get a good slap and it was just really satisfying to see.

Are you not far from the water in the Central Coast? No, not at all. I'm very close to water. I can see the beach from my house. There you go. That'd be why. I live near the beach and I get the same. We also get frogs and then we're like, frogs lay eggs, mosquitoes lay eggs.

It's a whole thing. So then we get like a nest of mosquitoes. Can you replicate a sound? We'll turn all the music off. There's nothing playing. But just hit your arm as close to the phone and we'll all try to replicate our best Mozzie slap. See who wins. Then we'll put a poll on Spotify

and we'll tell you next week. Just a joke. Alright, go Abby. Oh yeah. Just a joke. All right, go, Abby. Oh, yeah. That was good. That was good. Is this like the time we got everyone to play their doorbells? We get five callers and we rank their slaps? I don't know if that's pacing.

I stand by that. Okay, I'm going to do mine. That was hefty. That was good. That was me. It's cheery. Weirdly, is it just me on the fly? I don't think I saw a mozzie all summer.

What? Lucky you. Yeah, I don't think I saw one. I don't have a backyard or anything. I'm kind of up high. You are. And I hang out with my friends who are also up high. Yes.

Also, they're in a high building. Don't be stupid. Do you slap? Oh, my slap? Oh, God. This is... Okay. All right.

Oh, that was actually... That was good. Jenna? Oh, my God. I can't believe we... Oh, that was absolutely dreadful. No, can I have one more go? Exactly the same.

That sounded like it hurt, that one. What about... I think Coombs was the best. Stop it, Jenna. Yeah, Coombs was the best. Stop it, Jenna. Yeah, Coombs was the best. Was it? Yeah, I actually agree. It was.

Wow, okay. Congratulations, Coombs. We're transferring you $20. All of a sudden, this is the best thing we've ever done on the podcast. Yeah, of course it is. I thought it was fucking ridiculous. Oh, well, Abby. My hand hurts.

Yeah, my arm is fucking weltered. Did you have a good V-Day, Abby? You know what? I actually didn't celebrate it because my boyfriend and I were both sick, so we're celebrating today. Aw, that's cute. I've actually spent it making a cake to give to him after work today. Oh, that's so sweet.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I had a cake made for me for Valentine's Day from scratch. What kind of cake? It's chocolate mud cake because it's his favourite and it's got jam and cream in the middle. Aw. I've got a mozzie on me, actually.

I'm outside. Are you kidding? Oh, my God. Get it. Hit it. Hit it. Do it live. Okay.

You ready? Yeah. That was my leg. That was a good one, actually. Did you get it? I did. With their blood? Wow.

Wow. Wow. Now she's going to go and make a cake, the grub. Blood on her hands, mozzie guts. Literally. Happy V-Day, honey. Well, Wow. Now she's going to go and make a cake, the grub. Blood on her hands, mozzie guts. Literally. Happy V-Day, honey. Well, Abby. You too.

Thank you. Oh, see ya. Oh, she's wrapping herself up. All right. She's like, yeah, I'm fucking done. No, no, no. You were. She read the room.

We love you, Abby. Message Prizekeeper Jenna. We'll get you a prize, okay? We'll do. Love you guys too. Love you. Love you too, darling. Have fun.

Oh, she's so sweet. I love our idiots. I like her. Anyway, like Cherry said, at Couple of Mitches, whatever's on your mind, if you want to do an is it just you. Or you can send us a text. This is the number. Oh, 422-948-202.

Oh, 422-948-202. Send us a text, bud. Surely that's sunk in by now, that number. God, that song is good. It's so catchy. And I'm talking about our edition. Can people stop signing our number up to scammers, by the way? Are people doing that?

They must be, because it's quite public. We've put the number on TikTok and stuff. So it's on several registries. We get so many scam texts. It does my head in. I can only imagine. Yeah. Please stop, guys. Yeah.

We're nice people. Well. Depends who you ask. Some of us deserve it. Yeah. Should we go? Should we get out of here? Yeah, sure.

Let's get out of here. Oh, thanks for listening, everyone. Now, like I said, there's a big pitch on Wednesday. This isn't it, but I have another pitch. Oh, God. Weak of pitches. You know how we did top five doorbells? Yeah.

People played their doorbells on the phone, like I just said. We also did the car horn version. What about bike bells? I'll bring my bike in and then we get others to compete. Mitchell, I hate to be a hater, but I don't feel like bike bells differ from bike bells. You'd be surprised. When I was doing my cycling course, there were 12 of us on bikes ringing our bells in unison.

Oh, my God. They're all drastically different. Different pitches, different tones, everything. That's nothing like mine, see? Oh, you're right. Exactly. You're so right. Yep.

I think that's a good pitch. I might be sick that episode, but I think it's a good idea. Why don't we put a... The doorbell thing was your idea. I thought that was great. Everyone has a doorbell. And so you thought that was great, but the bike bell? No?

Mitchell, not everyone can afford a bike in this economy. I'm not suggesting that everyone can afford or owns one. It's only people that have a bike. That's common sense, isn't it? Or maybe you walk past a bike and you can do it. That's true. I would do that. Yeah.

We don't have to do the bike bell thing if you don't want. No, I think it's approved. I like it. Unless anyone with a bike We don't have to do the bike bell thing if you don't want. No, I think it's approved. I like it. Unless anyone with a bike listening right now wants to offer up their bell. Wait, so we're going to bring yours in and we're going to get our idiots with a bike to call through and do their bell live on the show. Maybe I'll record mine at home because bringing it in sounds like a bit of a bit. You suggested that.

No, it's a live brainstorm, mate. Just fucking go with me. Sorry, sorry. No, I thought you were yelling at me. I'm like, I didn't suggest it. No, I said bringing it in might be a bit of a pain in the ass. I might record it at home. All right.

Submit your bike bells. If you ride a bike, let us know. Yeah. I'm down for it. Great. Riveting shit. I love it. Hey, that's what the podcast is for.

Well, listen, that is to come in the weeks ahead. Talk back tings as well in a couple of days. I've got a bigger and better pitch on Wednesday. We'll catch you then. See you, idiots. Love you. Ta-da. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of days. I've got a bigger and better pitch on Wednesday. We'll catch you then. See you, idiots. Love you. Ta-ra. 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, our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it is not. Yeah, it's definitely not. It continues on. This is sometimes the best part of the show. Yeah, it depends who you ask. It depends also what mood we're in, you know.

Like, it depends on what's going on. I suppose. I do think we should discuss the photo shoot that we had. I mean, can we talk about it? I don't see why not. I think we should discuss the looks that Mitchell Coombs, Mitch Turi and Jenna Benson served. I don't reckon it's going to be ready for the episode

you're listening to now. Leave it to next week. I reckon next Sunday we should have the new artwork. Oh, so not the Wednesday episode, the following Monday. Sorry, I meant Monday. Our secret early bird release. Wink. Yeah, our next Monday episode.

I reckon we should have the artwork by then. So we are, I'm not going to say what the reference is, but we are referencing a major pop culture moment in our artwork. You have to work it out. First person to work it out will get a prize from Prizekeeper Gem. Good luck dealing with that. Oh, come on. Completely unrelated.

What do you think of Beyonce's new song? I'm all for it. Oh my God. 16 carriages. She's going to be yeehaw. Oh my fucking God. I never would have picked Beyonce to go country, but here we are. I love it.

I love 16 carriages. Do you think she's singing about 16 carriages behind a horse-drawn cart with 16 carriages or is it 16 carriage steam train? That would be more logical because that poor fucking horse dragging 16 carriages. It's so good. Jenna, have you heard it? Take a listen. Oh, this is not the one I was referencing.

Oh, this is the set because she dropped two songs. I couldn't find it. I searched this morning. It said latest release. Yeah, there's two. This is the number two. Oh, it wasn't even on there. Ready?

It said latest release. Yeah, there's two. This is the number two. Oh, it wasn't even on there. Ready? And then there's... If I go to Beyonce on Spotify, it says latest release, Texas Hold'em. There's no sign of 16 Carriages. Yes, because they're both different singles.

So it's on a whole other... That's what I mean. It's not there. Swipe across, like left and right. No. This is why I use Apple Music. Spotify is so confusing. I agree.

No, Mitchell, 16 Carriages. There you go. I have to scroll all the way down to right. No. This is why I use Apple Music. Spotify is so confusing. I agree. No, Mitchell, 16 characters. There you go. I have to scroll all the way down to singles. Fuck. Beyonce. Beyonce, yeah, this is the... Yeah. Comes up with 16 characters on Apple Music.

On Apple Music, of course. This is what I'm talking about. This is so good. Good for you, Bea. Yeah, I agree, Bea. Lana Del Rey's also doing a country album later in the year. It's the flavour of now, I think. They missed the boat.

Country was a thing in like 2016, 2017. Remember Gaga, Kesha and Kylie Minogue all went country at once. Are you classing Joanne as country? It's pretty fucking yeehaw by Gaga standards. But there's a couple of... How do you go from R-pop to that? I love Joanne as country? It's Pretty Fucking Yeehaw by Gaga Sanchez. But there's a couple of... How do you go from R-Bop to that? I love Joanne. Listen to the first three seconds of Sinner's Prayer. Sinner's Prayer.

That's what it's called. Just the first three seconds. That's all you need. So the answer is yes, I do class this as country. That is country. Yeah, but then she goes to something like this. This is my favourite song, by the way. Ever.

Sorry, that's a huge call. My favourite song from that album. My favourite Lady Gaga song of all time is Replay. But this is, compare Replay to this. This is more country skimming, don't you reckon? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, no, you're right. What about Government Hooker?

By who? Lady Gaga. What album's that on? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, no, you're right. What about Government Hooker? By who? Lady Gaga. What album's that on? Born This Way. Yeah. Do we have to listen to it? Yeah. Okay.

Here we go. This is a great song. Go, go, go Okay, stop. No, go to the main part. No, Jenna, you can actually do this in your own time. I could be anything I could be anything Stop.

I hate to say it, I did not picture Jenna listening to this as she groomed her cat. It's a great song, but I'm like, we can't just sit here and listen to music on the podcast. No, that's like Gogglebox. That's silly. That could be a really good podcast idea. What? Gogglebox, but audio podcast. What, for TV?

Audio, but no, for podcast. Oh. Like you listen to albums, but you talk about it as they play. Yeah, that'd be tricky to pull off with the copyright stuff. Actually, no critiquing. You're allowed to do that. Interesting. Hey, there you go.

Copywritten. Or Gogglebox where you listen to other people's podcasts. Yeah, you're right. Which we have done. Yeah, we have. We've done. We started that trend fucking years ago. It's called Talkback TV.

Are there any new Is It Just Me's? We should check that. Oh, true. We've done this a few times where apparently our podcast name has been copied by, well, not copied, but everyone had the same idea. There's new Is It Just Me's every so often. Is it? And we often do air checks. We also need to bring back Is It Just Me caps where we go back

on our original idioms from years ago and see if we still stand by them. Yeah. Is It Just Me? Oh, yep, there's another one. I'm not seeing any new ones. I recognise all these, actually. No, no. Is It Just Me? Asking the Small Questions by Atom. Is It Just Me? Podcast with Donna B. Bitch. I recognise all these, actually. No, no. Is it just me asking the small questions by Atom? Is it just me podcast with Donna B? Bitch.

I reckon we've listened to most of these. Wow, everyone's backed off. They're scared. Oh, wait, there is a new one. Amelia and Claudia. Really? Yeah. Oh, those bitches.

Look at them. Can I see? What do you mean, bitches? You don't know them. Oh, they seem lovely. Show me. They're nice. Their artwork isn't quite as fancy as ours, I will say.

Let's take them for all they're worth. In iHeartRadio court. Let's put the full power of the iHeart legal system down, especially on Romena Kuchilewska. I want you all to know, very exciting. Her hit single, Call Loud Popular, is still available. Oh, my God. I forgot about this.

This is my favourite one. One of the podcasters did my God. I forgot about this. This is my favourite one. One of the podcasters did a song. I love this one. And it's titled Call Loud Popular. So good. Everyone doesn't matter who they are. It's only me. That thing's the best for me.

Oh, she didn't like me that good. She's got mozzies on her leg. I'm going to be my drum like a drum. Well, now we need to get Oscar to do just a general is it just me jingle. Can Oscar cover Romana Kulevski's hit single, Call Loud Popular, which I think is such a poignant name. She's so right.

I like her description. Make people calm when they're sad. But it's T-H-E-R-E. Oh, they're wrong. She's a 12-year-old Russian kid. What do we all think of Usher at the Super Bowl? Haven't even seen it yet. Disappointed.

Justin Bieber was meant to perform, but he didn't. He turned up, but he didn't do it. He had a dressing room, but didn't do it. Yeah, apparently he just wasn't feeling it. Have you heard Mitchell, the Alicia Keys audio? Yes. Oh, my God. But have you heard the drama surrounding that?

Yes, I have. It's sad. Well, yeah. So if you're missing it, so Alicia Keys performed at the Super Bowl. This was what went to air live. And she had a bit of a voice crack. Yeah, testy pop. That's it at the start, ready?

And the rest of it was flawless, by the way Yes It's that one little note It shows that it's live Yeah, I mean, she's real But then they uploaded it to the NFL YouTube And this was what was on the video Yeah, they edited it to make it sound better

Of course, rightly so, we'd ask that Remember Madonna's shocking performance at Eurovision? Absolutely. And they did the same thing on YouTube. It sounds amazing, but the live version is atrocious. What about Fergie singing the national anthem? Yeah, you'd think they'd fucking edit that, wouldn't you? No, they're like, no, this is iconic.

This will get us more views. The fool. They fucking edited Alicia's testy pop, but they let Gaga's version of Million Reasons, where she was so puffed from dancing, that can just stay on YouTube forever. Yeah. How unfair.

Who do you reckon demanded that? Was it Alicia's manager, Alicia herself, or did someone go rogue? It'd be Alicia's management for sure. Yeah, it wouldn't be Alicia. I think she'd be fine with it. She'd be like, oh, you know, it's a live performance. It happens. Yeah, she had no makeup on.

She doesn't give a shit. She goes all natural. It's Alicia Keys. She did poo in front of me, though. Oh, yeah, I remember that. I've told that story. She did shit in the same hotel room that I was in. Oh, yeah.

Fuck, I forgot about that. That was ages ago. It's fucking stunk. I actually have audio of that exact moment. I've never played it, but here it is. Some pee. Some pee. I said, what's that on the floor, Alicia?

And she said. Some pee. She said. I'm not joking. I've never actually told this story. All right. What was that story again? You went to a hotel room to interview her,

and then she's like, I just got a duck to the loo. I'm sure it was those exact words. And then she came back after ages, and it stank. Well. Is that right? Yes, that's right. Okay. They asked Waleed Ali if he wanted the interview for the project.

He said, I'm not flying to LA. And they said, well, next after Waleed Ali in terms of journalism in this country, Mitch Chury. So I flew to LA and then I was waiting outside her hotel room and a German reporter was next to me. He's like, I'm going next. I'm like, okay. So he went next, went in, came out, the door stayed open.

So I just walked in. And then as I walked in, Alicia was getting up to go to the bathroom. And I went, oh, sorry. I must have come in early. And she went, no, honey. It's okay. I'm just going to go to the bathroom. You can take your seat.

So I sat in the interview chair while she ripped it in the toilet. You didn't hear any, like, fluffies being left off the chain? No, no, no. But you smelt it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was a concrete jungle. Poor Alicia. But you smelt it. Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah. I mean, that was a concrete jungle. Poor Alicia.

Where dreams are made of. There's nothing you can't do. Nothing you can't do. Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. Just 2%. That's it.

See you in a couple of days, everyone. Yeah. Yeah. The big pitch. I'm excited. Me too. If you swap the letters, it's pig bitch. Yeah, it is. It is. So, yeah. It's like. See, we're in a couple of days, everyone. Yeah. The big pitch. I'm excited. Me too. If you swap the letters, it's pig bitch. Yeah, it is.

It is. Yeah, it's like charades. Yeah, that's true. That's exciting. The price is right. Wheel of Fortune. That's the wrong show. I don't know.

All right. Don't forget, if you've got a bell, let us know. That is coming real soon. An IJM exclusive. I hope so. Yeah, I think it will. That'll be fun. And also new photos. Oh my God. They're goingM exclusive. I hope so. Yeah, I think it will. That'd be fun. And also new photos.

Oh my God. They're going to be so good, everyone. I really do sound effects at the end of the show, don't I? Yeah. I really backload it. Yeah. It's like you've got to get it out of your system. Why don't we just, why don't we at the very start, as soon as we enter the studio, you

get it out, rip off all the sound effects you need to, and then we actually start recording. At the start of the show? Before we record. Oh, no, but I like it. I mean, it's up for debate. If you want me to cut the sound effects, I can. We've been here before. I couldn't have made my stance any clearer.

It's so annoying. We need some debate music. I don't mind the sound effects. I like them when they have a purpose, like the pee thing with Alicia. That worked. Well played. Good shit. That's fine.

That's what you said to her too. Good shit. I did. I did, yeah. Gorgeous shit. I like when they don't have a purpose. So when you play like a horse sound. Oh, I don't often do that.

That's the Greek national anthem. What does this button do? Oh my God. Live X updates. Wait. That's not the sound anymore. What's the X sound? No, my God. Live X updates. Wait. That's not the sound anymore. What's the X sound? No, there is not.
