This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Do you want to know a crazy fact that I had a bio scan done at my gym this week? I've gone from 39% body fat to 24. When?

Um, last week. No, when did I ask? No, when did I ask? Yeah, I know! Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Hello!

Listen. Well, no, what? Straight off the bat. Yeah? I'm under obligation to issue a public apology. Oh, what's wrong? Based off last week's episode on Wednesday. Bit of a manic one, yeah.

Remember how we were talking about your new boy? Oh, yes, we were. And we were talking about, you know, his age and how you should make no apology for it, just say it matter-of-factly. Correct. And then I said, ask me how old Sean is. Yep. And I said, 32. You did.

He's not 32. He was so furious. When you said that, I remember thinking, fuck his age. I don't know where that came from. He's only 31. Oh, and he listens every week. He does. Oh, Seanie.

He was going to write a cease and desist email with his fucking parliament letterhead. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, the Honourable Sean. So just for those wondering, he's still 31. Not 32 till November. I want, there is no one on this planet that I want no harm done to less than him. Does that make sense? I don't know.

I don't want him to be harmed. I love Sean. If you had to harm everyone on planet Earth, he'd be last on the list. Yes, correct. Like, I would harm. You'd sacrifice any old arsehole ahead of him. I'd punch a 12-year-old in correct. Like I would harm. You'd sacrifice any old asshole ahead of him. I'd punch a 12-year-old in the face before I punch Sean. No younger.

There's an age joke I could make about the new boy, but I won't. He's 21 and he's 22 in a couple months. Stop it! This is the whole conversation we were having. Oh, yeah, so it's a high pitch. Okay, sorry. And you said 22 in a couple months. No, we don't do that.

You just say he's 21. Okay, maybe it's a pitch thing, Mitch. Maybe I need to go, oh, he's 21. You can say 21 in high pitch. It's what comes after that. You just say he's 21. Okay, maybe it's a pitch thing, Mitch. Maybe I need to go, oh, he's 21. You can say 21 in high pitch. It's what comes after that. But he's 22 soon. He's 22. Because it sounds like you're defensive.

But if you don't believe you're doing anything wrong, then there's no need to be. There's nothing I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm on your side. Do you not understand? No, you're right. I do. I do.

I'm sorry. Because when you say, no, but he's 22, it does sound like you think you're doing something wrong. But if you don't, which you're not, then fucking stop apologising. I don't squeal. You literally just did. Everyone hit that rewind 15 second button twice and you'll hear it. The panic.

It's like you were talking to a court judge. Yes. But it's 22 seconds. Yeah, you're right. Maybe that's where I got it from, the two. Because I said Sean was 32. Oh, and you thought you're 22. I don't know.

True. But that does mean that he's exactly 10 years older than your boy. Oh, my God. Do you not get it? Have they met? They haven't met, have they? No. You've met him.

Imagine the double date. Let's not pretend they have anything in common. No, they would have plenty in common. That's true, actually. Yeah, and Sean's so nice. He knows how to talk about anything. So is my guy. My guy's... We're dating people... We just excuse ourselves. Yeah, and Sean's so nice. He knows how to talk about anything. So is my guy. My guy's – we're dating people –

We just excuse ourselves. Yeah, seriously. They could talk for hours, actually, now that I think about it. Well, God forbid we bring up what happened when Sean met my last partner. Yeah, no, God forbid. Yeah. What happened? Well, God forbids it, Jenna.

He forbids it. We're trying to stay on God's side. Yeah. We've got a few fucking sins up our sleeve already. Didn't go side. Yeah. We've got a few fucking sins up our sleeve already. Didn't go well. I think because the guy I'm seeing is in healthcare and he's a carer. Sean is in politics. He's helping the public.

They're both givers. Do you get? Actually. Is that right? Okay. Very funny. Oh, that's funny, isn't it? You walked right into that.

You walked right into that. That was good. I did. That was very funny, Mitchell. That was very funny. Anyway, if you're listening, Sean, I apologise. Everyone now knows that walked right into that. You walked right into that. That was good. I did. That was very funny, Mitchell. That was very funny. Anyway, if you're listening, Sean, I apologise. Everyone now knows that you're only 31. We love you, Sean.

You don't look a day over. God, he could pass for 26. I reckon. Seriously, he's got such good skin and such a thick head of hair. Yeah. See, you're saying he looks younger than me. Yes. No, no, no.

What could I pass for? You could pass for 21. Oh, I better watch my back around you. I was just about to make the same joke. He's very good today. More where I can see your dickhead. Okay, hilarious. I've already told you.

But does that mean when I met you in the lift when you were 19, I thought? I looked nine. No, it would definitely look nine. And you were like nummies. It was your birthday that day. I'd never forget it. Oh, you would so forget my birthday, actually. Wow.

Wednesday episodes are cooked. Yeah. We still need to come up with a catchy name for it because we've got Is It Just Me Monday? It's just pure idjams. Wednesday could be anything. Like today we've got talkback tings and my big pitch. Oh, the pitch.

I still think Wet Wednesday and we get Jenna to wear a T-shirt with her nipples underneath and we spray her with a fire hydrant. It did catch on. No. Not one person said do it. No. But you're wearing white this week. I do have big dinner plate nipples too.

You can't do it next to the radio panel. Although we're leaving soon. Who cares if we break it now? Yeah, we are. There's a new studio ready and waiting, isn't there? Yep. Oh my God. I've seen a glimmer of these new studios.

Mitch, we're not going to, I don't think we're going to like it. Why? Because they're lighting. The Halogen Globe. See how, oh, this is an Why? Because they're lighting. The halogen globe. See how – oh, this is an audio medium. It's dumb. There's a giant – you've got four LED lights in this studio in every corner. In the new one, there aren't any of these.

There is one giant bubble. It looks like, you know, in like – In the middle of the room? Yeah. That's good. No, you know in far north Queensland when, like, water gets in the roof and then they sag and there's that giant bubble and on TikTok people poke a broomstick in it? That's what it looks like, but it's full of LED light and it just drowns your face with light.

That's not bad. I think I'm too old for that. I'm 29 this year, guys. Almost as old as Sean. Which is not that old. No, it's not that old. It's not that old. He's young and he's gorgeous.

Yep. The new studio is very soon. You might even notice a sound difference. We might sound different. I don't know. Maybe we should do a send-off for this one. Yeah, I want to just fart in it or just piss on the walls. This studio, oh, no, it's been really good.

The memories we've had in this studio. Yeah, it's been memories. Maybe we take a trip down memory lane. Possibly. I mean, how would we do that? Well, that's what I mean. I was like, oh, the memories. But I can't think of any off the top of my head. It's also

more for us. It's not for the listeners because we've been here visually, but I will miss it. I mean, there's a lot of things we've done in this studio, but it could have happened anywhere. That's very true. That's true. But there's nothing special about this studio. It's actually a shit-on when you think about it. Yeah, it is. Why the fuck am I sentimentally attached to this at all? Well,

this place sucks. Think about it, Mitchell. That corner is where Jenna was broadcasting from a bin. No, that was here. True. The coffin was there. Oh, that was the coffin. The coffin was there too. Yes.

You guys made me go to a funeral home to pick that thing up and there were corpses in fridges. No, you offered. I offered to go and pick that coffin up. Because you used the radio station street team car. Imagine someone pulling you over and be like, can I have a free can of Coke? And you're like, don't look in the back.

It's a coffin. Grandma's in the boot. And then we had to store the coffin somewhere and I thought our audio producer was on holidays, but he wasn't. He came in the next morning and there's a big coffin in his studio. Oh, God. That was good.

Oh, see, this studio has been very – if you haven't heard that episode, go back and listen to the episode where Jenna broadcasts it from a coffin. Yeah. Yeah, that is one of our best. I agree. When people ask, where do I start? I'm like, that's a pretty good episode. Yeah, that is a fun one.

Yeah, it is, it is. We should bring those videos back because TikTok wasn't really a thing back then. I feel like they do well. All right, well, put a bloody reminder in my phone for next Christmas because it was Christmas themed. Yeah, it was. Oh, yeah. If we post a video where there's baubles and tinsel and shit in the studio,

people are going to think we're idiots. Yeah, you're right. When I think of Christmas, I think of coffin. Yeah, me too. And bins. Welcome to Is It Just Me? Yeah. Every episode we start the same way.

Something we've noticed. Something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know my idiom. I don't know Mitch's. Now in the new era, there's idioms in every episode. Who's going first this time? Well, you went first last episode. That's true.

I could just jump in. Mine's topical and it's something that is currently causing me and my entire family a grave deal of stress. Okay. What's yours? I guess something that's causing me a grave deal of stress. Oh, God. Yeah. They can't have both Mitch's stressed.

And Jenna's perpetually on it. I guess I'll just snap out of it then. No, no, no. We'll work through it. We'll both, we'll all work through it again. Plus, yeah, you said talk back tings on the episode today. Yes. And the big what?

Pitch. Big pitch. Got an idea for you. And you're either going to be like, fuck yes, Mitchell, you're the best. I can't believe you pulled this off. This is excellent. I'm on board 100%. Or you're going to go, no, I can't be bothered.

I'm excited. And it could go either way with you. Actually, before I even pitch, what's your mood like today? It's actually pretty good. I've had a couple of chocolate truffles. The iHeartRadio team sent us a box of chocolates. Cocoa black. They sent us cocoa black chocolates to congratulate us on being a hit podcast. They did. So you're in a good mood? Yeah, I've had chocolate. You sound a bit tired. I am a bit tired. Maybe today's not the day.

Let me have a sip of my drink. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'll have some Coke. No sugar, no doubt. All right, then. I feel a bit better. Hit me with your region, please. Sorry, went down the wrong way.

Play the music. Is it just me or? Are parents on social media never a good idea? Nah, I'm all about it. No. I like it. My mum is not on any social media. Really?

Well, mum has Instagram and she had the handle. Yeah, I thought your mum does. She is. She's barely on it. And I'll tell you why. Because she was sued by Mrs. Chu, the Vietnamese restaurant. Well, she's Michelle Chury. so she had the handle Miss Chu. Little did she know there's a popular Vietnamese chain in Melbourne called Mrs. Chu.

You can't sue for that. That's just bad luck. No, but they had it and they put in a request. Mum doesn't post often. So, you know, if you're a brand and you want someone else's handle, if someone else has it and it's an inactive account, they just take it from that account. So, they took mum's handle from her and it went to the Vietnamese restaurant. Anyway, that's not really the problem.

Yeah, no, parents on social media, you were saying. Mum's only got Instagram. I went for a run the other day and as I was running, I wear my Apple Watch, I got a notification. It was a message from an Airbnb and it said, hi Mitch, no worries, we can make those dates happen. I'll accept it now. Then I got a $2,500 charge to my Westpac app. Ding, ding, another notification. And you weren't booking an Airbnb? I was on a run.

I just came back from a trip. I'm not going anywhere. I don't want to go on a rave again. So I go, what? So I call mum, because of course it's Michelle. So I call mum and I go, mum, are you booking something on my Airbnb? And she went, yes, I am, I am. I'm booking an Airbnb.

Your auntie Monda's coming down and she's in the wheelchair and we need wheelchair access. It was the only one I could find. It's the street away. Because Auntie Monda's in a wheelchair, she can't stay at our house. So there's a house like a street away. Well, that's kind of handy. But how did that end up happening on your credit card? No, because Mum's iPad is signed into my Airbnb.

I must have booked a trip. I don't know. I must have just logged in. On your Mum's iPad? Yeah. You're 29 years old. No, I must have booked a trip on, I don't know, I must have just logged in. On your mum's iPad. Yeah. You're 29 years old. No, this would have been a couple of years ago. I don't know how it happened.

Mum's iPad. Fuck off. The only thing that would be more embarrassing if it was your mum's Samsung tablet. Okay. It's not. It's mum's iPad. Fucking hell. Sorry, I didn't mean to put this back on you and have you be embarrassed.

Why were you ever logged in on your mum's iPad? That's a good question. Can I say, my brother's logged in on my mum's iPad. Thank you. There's something comforting about being on your- I don't know. I think it's so weird. No, I remember.

When I was going to LA on one trip, because I'm in and out, I wanted to show my parents my Airbnb, and I think I had mum's. I just logged in on her iPad. Right. So she could follow my trip or follow my it and I think I had mum's. I just logged in on her iPad. Right. So she could follow my trip or follow my itinerary. I don't know. For some reason. Your family's way closer than mine.

We're very close. We're very close. I wouldn't be letting them stalk where I'm staying and stuff. If they wanted to know, I'd tell them, but I wouldn't be like, track my every move. I know. The cheeries are very close. Clearly. So I get home and I go, it's okay, but they've put a hold of two and a half grand on my Westpac.

Like, you just transfer the money. It's not a problem. She's like, oh, good for it. Then she went, you know what's funny, though? I've realized that it's actually Trent Roberts that I went to high school with because he just leaves us straight away. So I've just messaged him and asked if he'll do a better price for us. And I've asked him to text me. And I went, what?

Do you have to ask him to text me? That's not how it works, mum. Then I get a notification on my Apple Watch, Airbnb has cancelled your booking. And I went, that's weird. Mum, what's happened? Go message Trent. This user cannot be found. He's blocked my Airbnb.

My Airbnb has been flagged for scam. And I went, mum, what have you messaged him? Give me the iPad. So I yanked her iPad out of her hand. She has messaged this man seven times going, Hi, thanks for the booking. No worries. It's from my Auntie Monda who's in a wheelchair.

She has polio. She's not well. Thanks. Did you go to Guy Me Bay High School? I think I know your wife, Julie. Listen, the economy is tough. My daughter is sick. Could you do a good price? Actually, just text me. Actually, the economy is tough. My daughter is sick. Could you do a good price?

Actually, just text me. Actually, just email me. So this man has gone, oh, I'm being scammed. This is clearly a scammer. I don't think a scammer would have that much information. No, no, but I agree with you. And this was all coming from the Airbnb app. This was all coming from Mitch Turi.

So that's where she's made the error. Correct. He's like, I don't know a Mitch Turi that went to high school with my wife. Correct. Because he's 20 years younger. But mum just doesn't understand that you don't communicate with people like you're talking to them at the local bakery on social media. It's Airbnb.

But also classic Turi shit right there. The haggling. That's where you get it, mate. And look where it's gotten you now. She still hasn't actually transferred me for two and a half grand. I need to chase that up. Yeah. That's where you get it, mate. It's in the blood. And look where it's gotten you now. No. She still hasn't actually transferred me for two and a half grand. I need to chase that up. Are you ready for my itch-em?

I'm ready. I'm nervous about your stress levels, Mitchell. Oh, okay. Well, let's get into it. Okay. Is it just me or? Is there an enormous difference between a good GP and a bad GP? Oh, my God, yes.

There's no middle ground. You're either dog shit or you are above and beyond brilliant, I feel. Totally. You're in love with them or you dread going to them. Yes, exactly. Did you find your GP because she was missing? Yeah. Remember how I was mentioning last week that Dr. Madeline, who was my go-to GP, it was the first time I'd had a go-to favourite GP

since moving out of home as an adult. She was my go-to like three or four years ago. And then she went on maternity leave. I moved to a different suburb. We lost touch. She's in the night, yeah. And then she ended up working at a GP just down the road from me. And I was like, fuck yeah, I want to get back in with her.

But you had to book in. You were a new patient. Yeah, there was like a very long waiting list. And so I booked an appointment. And remember how I said, yeah, I'm just going back in with her. But you had to book in. You were a new patient. Yeah. There was like a very long waiting list. And so I booked an appointment. And remember how I said to you, I'm just going to have to make some shit up because I'm not ill. Yes. But you wanted to get in front of her. Yes, I did.

Just so I'm in the system. Yeah. So I went and I was like, what am I going to raise with her? I don't know what the fuck to talk to her about. You're also the healthiest you've ever been. You've lost all that weight. You're looking snatched. You're doing your Pilates.

Your skin's on point. Your hair's thick. She actually said, have you lost weight? Oh, God. I was like, Madeline, see, normal shithouse GPs wouldn't remember what you looked like four years ago. That's true. Of course, yeah. And I walked in and she goes, you look familiar.

Oh, hello, come on in. You look really well. She remembered you. Yes, perfect. But anyway, point being, I was like, what am I going to talk to her about? I have to feign something. And then I thought, oh, I know. I'll get a second opinion.

Oh, very smart. Because you guys might have noticed that a lot of the time when we're here in the studio, I'm constantly fucking putting pain relief spray on my neck, putting Voltaren on the neck. I've just got a constant sore neck, basically. You've got a pot of it in your house when you walk in. You've got like seven different neck sprays. And I'm always just like, oh, God, my neck's killing me today. How many times have you heard that?

Yeah. Seven. Seven? This week, yeah. Oh, this week. This week. Right, okay. I was like, you're really downplaying the fucking issue here.

No, you're in pain. You're like my Auntie Monda at this point. So I went to a GP in like September, October. I said, all year I've had this really persistent pain in my neck on the right-hand side specifically, like halfway between the spine and my right ear. Don't tell me she found a tumour or something. Like it's halfway between there.

Yeah. And this GP was very dismissive, the shit one. And he goes, ah, just use Voltaren and Nurofen. And I said, mate, I'm already doing that. I don't think you understand. It's at a point where I've realised there's obviously something wrong. That's why I'm at a fucking GP. Yeah.

Just the at-home remedies aren't cutting it anymore. They're not working. And so I had to really twist his arm and say, can you at least send me for a scan or something? Because he was so prepared to just be like, fucking keep putting Voltaren on. So I went and got the scan done on my neck after almost a year of neck pain.

And then they sent the report to the GP. Of course, I can't bloody access it, can I? I have to go back to the same dog shit GP so that he can tell me what the report said. And he goes, yeah, all good. Nothing to worry about. And then I was like, okay, sure. So what do I do?

And he goes, just keep putting Voltaren on your neck and having Nufin. Same old. Another 90 bucks. I've gone through all these hoops. Yeah, another 90 bucks. All this shit. Got the scan done and still no answer. And so I was like, right, I've got an appointment with Madeline.

Maybe I'll just ask her opinion. Yeah. She was able to access my medical records, the exact same report that this clown read to me and said, there's nothing wrong. She goes, you've got a bulging disc. Oh my God. I was like, I knew it.

I knew there was something going on there. How the fuck can two GPs read the exact same report and in the bottom in bold conclusion, he has a bulging disc in the C5, whatever the fuck, part of the neck. They both read the same thing and delivered very different news. He was like, yeah, it's fine. And she goes, oh, my God, you've been living with chronic pain for over 12 months, Mitchell. I was like, I have. Thank you.

It was so validating. Oh, my God. And she says, Voltaren and Nurofen will fix it. No, I've got to go to physio and potentially get bloody needles in the neck. What's that stuff? Acupuncture. No, no, no, an actual injection, cortisone. Oh, cortisone.

Oh, my mum gets cortisone. Cortisone, yeah. Okay, there you go. Oh, Mitchell. Well, I'm happy you found answers. I know, right? What's that first GP's number? Because Dot Wiggins might need to call him.

Well, wouldn't you believe? He's the practice manager and the medical centre's now closed. Oh, you're kidding. There we go. I never kid. Wow, interesting. Because she says to me, maybe you should make a complaint with the practice manager. And I said, well, he is the practice manager and he's since gone under, which is nice.

So that's fine. Good riddance to him. Wow. Oh, Mitch, I'm happy for you. That's genuinely a bulging discus. Any sort of chronic pain is heavy. Yeah. I still haven't made a physio appointment yet. You can make sure youging disc. Any sort of chronic pain is heavy. Yeah. I still haven't made a physio appointment yet.

Make sure you do it. Still dealing with it. Can we see it? Can you turn to the side or is it not visible? It's more an internal thing. Yeah. She got the diagram up and was explaining it to me and I was still kind of like, I don't know what that means.

It's like the fluid between the, what are they called? The spinal. The discs. Yeah. I don't know. Okay, fair. I'm really happy for you. That's really good.

You're really happy for me and my bulging disc, are you? No, no, no. I'm happy that you're validated. The discs. Yeah. I don't know. Okay, fair. I'm really happy for you. That's really good. You're really happy for me and my bulging disc, are you? No, no, no. I'm just- I'm happy that you're validated. Me too, because I have found, I've got Dr. Hunter. Oh my God, he's the nicest thing in the world. Is he the one you've been seeing since your circumcision? No, no, that's Dr. Saad, OxyAction Max.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he's terrible. Yeah, I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and then Dr. Saad's like, you don't need to treat it. So I'm like, fuck you. I'm never going to see you again. Fuck you. Yeah. Anyway, then my mum still sees him because the family doctor and he Yeah, I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and then Dr. Saad's like, you don't need to treat it. So I'm like, fuck you, I'm never going to see you again. Fuck you. Yeah. Anyway, then my mum still sees him because the family doctor and he said,

I'm so glad I had Mitch's sleep apnea when he went away. He hasn't been in years. Like, yes, that's why. Because it disappeared and I don't need to see you. Piece of shit. Delusional. See, what is with that? Some of them, why would you spend all that time at university studying

to become a doctor only to not actually engage in the doctoring? Yeah. The doctor's not doctor become a doctor. I know. Only to not actually engage in the doctoring. Yeah. The doctor's not doctoring. No, I know. Why the fuck did you bother becoming qualified? At that point, it's just gossip. Yeah. Yeah.

You're just sitting there hearing people's issues. You're just bitching. Why bother? To be fair, it literally is gossiping. The old shit GP who's now out of business. Yeah, we went over. I did have a good bonding moment with him because I went in to get a prescription for nicotine patches because it's cheaper if a GP prescribes it.

Yes, yes, yes. And he was like, oh, you're quitting vapes? And I said, yeah. And he goes, oh, it's tough, isn't it? I'm quitting too. I've been hooked on the vapes. And I'm like, you're a doctor. How the fuck did you, of all people, not know the risks?

Or you would have known and you still went there anyway. And he's like, look, I've got nicotine gum in. So we bonded over that. Oh, that's so funny. And he's probably telling other people to quit vaping. Totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he can empathise.

It's tough, man. It's fucking tough. Mitchell, are you sure he was a doctor? Yeah, his GP practice was on the street and he sat on a milk crate. He had a dog next to him. He had heaps of needles around him, so I know he worked with buds. You can only assume he was a doctor. When someone says you're a doctor, you believe them.

Of course, of course. He was at the injection clinic. The methadone clinic. They're good. They're good for the country. They're good. They're good. Is it just me?

You should follow these idiots online. Search couple of Mitches. Okie doke. Do you want to hear the pitch now or should I do that after talk back to you? Well, this is Mitch's mega pitch. I want it now. Big pitch. Big pitch.

Big pitch, sorry. I love an assonance. You know this about me. No, of course. Yeah. Would you like some dramatic pitch music? Sure. Actually, it's not like a daunting pitch.

I feel like it's an opportunity. I've got an idea for us as a team. Okay, all right. We can make that happen. Okay. So I guess the first question should be, do either of you already have plans for Mardi Gras night? The parade night.

The Sydney Gay Pride Parade for those listening overseas. Mardi Gras night? The parade night. The Sydney Gay Pride Parade for those listening overseas. Mardi Gras night. Are you doing anything? I'm not. Fabulous. One of my best friends from high school has just come out, Kristen.

Round of applause, Kristen. She's never been to a Mardi Gras before. You've got a sound effect. That was really underwhelming. Round of applause. She's just come out as gay. Congratulations to Kristen. She's a lesbian. They of applause. Yeah, no, she's just come out as gay. Congratulations to Kristen. She's a lesbian.

They love animals. Stop. What? They love animals. Lesbians love horses. No, they... What? That's not me saying gay men love ketamine. That's a bit of a generalisation.

That's not what I meant. Okay, she's come out. This will be her first Mardi Gras. Stop. She's a shipwright. She builds ships. Stop with the sound effects. Answer the question.

Do you have plans? I think I'm free. I think I'm free. I should be free. I should be free Mardi Gras parade night. Why? Okay. I don't like this should be situation.

You always use a should be when you don't actually want to do it. It's like you've given yourself the opportunity to sit on the fence. Oh, yeah. I've given myself the opportunity to sit on the fence. If you don't like the pitch, you're going to go, actually, Kristen definitely is counting on me to do it. It's like you've given yourself the opportunity to sit on the fence. Oh, yeah. I've given myself the opportunity to sit on the fence. If you don't like the pitch, you're going to go, actually, Kristen definitely is counting on me to be there. Do you think I'm making Kristen up? Frankly, yes.

You're good at that. Anyway. I am free. The reason I'm asking is because you might remember ages ago on the podcast, we had Sean Zeps on as a guest. We love Sean. He's a good friend. Yeah, I like him a lot. Yeah. And I don't remember how it came up but we were talking about wouldn't it be

lovely to go to the mardi gras parade or be in the parade even with our mothers yes do you remember we said that we're like oh wouldn't that be nice that'd be beautiful yes yes yes yes i do what if i said i can actually make that happen oh now my ears pricked up now i'm suddenly thinking fuck you kristin Yes, yes, I do. What if I said I can actually make that happen? Oh, now my ears pricked up. Now I'm suddenly thinking, fuck you, Kristen. Back in the closet for you, bitch. Or the stable, as it was.

Oh, that. No. I am extremely intrigued. You're talking Michelle. You're talking Jane. You're talking Beatrice. Well, we're going to have to check their avails. It's just a pitch at this point. Okay.

Oh, I'm excited. I like this. Anything that my mum can get involved in. I love Mrs. Chu. So we might have to give them a ring and check if they're available before we give it the official lock-in. But... What is it?

Well, Sean's organising a float in the parade. You know, his queer community group, the Not For Property Run. Correct. What's it called? Shout it out. Fusion Pride. Fusion Pride. Yeah, Northern Beatrice.

So I'm already in. I'm already doing the parade on the Fusion Pride float, but a few people have dropped out, so there's a couple of spots that need to be filled. So I'm just a fucking ring in. I wasn't first pick. Jack Vigin's got a toothache, so he can't turn up, so get Mitch Turing his mother. Is this how you respond to all invitations? Do you ever wonder why you spend most weekends at home?

Oh, I have invitations. Okay, that's exciting. So? That's the pitch. Oh, I love it. What will we be doing on the float? We'd be on with our mothers. If they're on board.

Basically, we floated this idea ages ago and i'm telling you that i can actually make it happen that's so cool and so far all you've done is spit abuse at me no i'm not i'm trying to i'm trying to keep it entertaining it's a podcast i love it so jenna and her mom is invited if jenna's mom wants to come short yeah and it'd be a guaranteed spot on the float there's actually there, there's seven spots for you. But actually, I've already got one of them. So we don't need. Mitchell, Michelle, Rosalind.

Four. We only need four spots. We've got those. We've got those to play with. What would I have to wear? What's the theme of the float? There's a shirt that we all wear, a matching shirt. And then you just express yourself through your shorts.

It's not a singlet, is it? I'm actually getting mine tailored into a singlet because I want it to be a singlet. Oh, but it is. I can wear a shorts. It's not a singlet, is it? I'm actually getting mine tailored into a singlet because I want it to be a singlet. Oh, but it is. I can wear a shirt. It's a shirt. Yeah. I'm in.

You are? I'm in. Oh, my God. I'm 100% in. I'm 100% in. Of course I'm in. Why wouldn't I not be in? Wait, can we invite lesbian Kristen?

I don't see why not. If she wants to do it as well. She's never been on Mardi Gras in her life. She's just come out. I mean, this isn't me discouraging the idea. She's more than welcome. Is that throwing someone in the deep end? Coming out of the closet and then being immediately in the parade? That might be a bit much, but float it with her. Oh, float it with her?

Should we call our mums? Yeah, we have to check if they're free. Oh my god, that's so exciting. Because I haven't even mentioned this to Jane. This is just a pitch, as we know. Of course. Well, I'm in. I'm confirming. Yeah, this is Jane's number. Okay. Because wouldn't they just froth it? And also, our mothers have never met.

I can just imagine it. They would get along like a house on fire. Last we spoke to your mum, she was at your comedy show. Yes. Here we go. Calling Jane. Live in Bougainvillea. Hello?

Oh, hello. Hi, Jane. It's your sons. And me. Oh, hello. Hi, Jane. It's your sons. And me. Oh, hello. How are you going? Good. You're on the podcast, just so you know.

I've got a pitch for you, Jane. Oh, this sounds serious. Happy New Season, by the way, everyone. Oh, Jane, thank you. I'm playing a dramatic drone because it's Mitch's big pitch. Oh, okay. Let's go. I'm ready.

So, Jane, are you free on the 2nd of March? It's a Saturday. Um, no. Fuck! Jeez, Jane, fucking hell. Did I help you? Not in the slightest. What are you doing on the 2nd?

Is that a Saturday? Yes. I'll be down the south coast at the, oh, what's it called? Red Hot Summer Tour or whatever it is. Oh, yeah, WS is putting that on. Yeah, that's going to be great. Oh, no. That's where Jane will be.

Specifically this Saturday? Susie Cottra, all of that. Yes. Great. Yes. Yeah, I'm really excited about it. We've hired a really nice house right on the water after three nights. I've heard enough, frankly.

Well, do you want to tell the world? You're just rubbing salt in the wound, actually. It's my birthday present. Oh. Happy birthday, Jane. Oh, Jane, happy birthday. Yeah, I hope you have the best time. What if I offered you an even more tempting present?

Yeah, we could tempt you. And you got to choose. Like what? Well, Mitch and I had this lovely idea that we would go in the Mardi Gras parade with our mothers. I would have the best time. You would. Michelle, my mum would be there. She's 60 as well.

You've got so much in common. You've got gay Mitches. I know. Like, it's got to happen really, doesn't it? But 2025. The writing's on the wall. Yeah. Book me in for next year.

Yeah, for sure. Far out, Jane. Sorry, tunnel. Oh, my God. I'm going to start. Yeah. Book me in for next year, for sure. Far out, Jane. Sorry, tunnel. Oh, my God. I'm going to start. No. Wow. That is going to be a good show, though.

Should we bother trying Michelle? Well, that's just going to be rubbing my face in it if she's there and my mum isn't. It's like that day at school when it was a bring your parents to work day and she got tied up on the farm and she never turned up. Physically tied up? Yeah. No, you're close to Belanglo State. You never know. I'm not.

No. You're closer, actually, to Belanglo State Forest. Hello, Michelle speaking. Hello, Mum. It's Mitch and Mitch and Jenna. Hi. Hi. Hi, everyone.

How are you? We're good. Yeah. What are you up to? Do you want to extend the invitation to Michelle? Well, no, you can. Mitch has a pitch for you, Mum. He's got something he'd like to offer you.

Now, you do not have to say yes. Get your diary out. There's no pressure. But I know you'd love it. Are you free on Saturday, the 2nd of March? Oh, no. Oh, for fuck's sake. I'm sorry.

I'm really not. What are you doing? Well, we've got Mark's auntie's 80th birthday. Oh, wait, Auntie Monda. Yeah, Auntie Monda's birthday. Oh, that's what the Airbnb was for. You still owe your son two grand, by the way, Michelle. Oh, no, why?

What's on offer? We were going to invite you to be in the Mardi Gras parade with us, but we'll just operate on the assumption that you're homophobic. Goodbye. Oh, no, she's had them. I thought the Mardi Gras was the week after. No, Mum. How dare

Aunty Monda have her 80th on the Mardi Gras? Well, look, it would have been my pleasure to support you all, but I'm pretty sure, look, I have to get my diary, but I'm pretty sure that's the weekend. Yeah. Is it the Saturday night? Yeah, it is. Yes.

All right, sorry, Tunnel. Oh, she's gone. Well, don't we feel really warm inside right now? Wow. Fuck. Both our mothers could not care less. Wasn't Sean Zeps describing that magical moment when he was in a pride parade with his mother and that's when we came up with the idea?

100%. And now our mothers are both booked. Should we bother calling Rosamund? No, I think she, because she doesn't like being in front of people. She likes being exclusively behind people? She just doesn't like audiences. Being watched. Okay, oh, that's fair.

Yes. So you're not going to pitch it to her? Yeah. Okay, oh, yeah, pitch it to her. That's fine. See where we go. In her own time. Yeah, okay.

I'll ask her. Well, Mitchell, I mean, I'm down. Let me see what Kristen's doing. It could be very fun for her. Good first experience. Yeah, no, it'll ask her. Well, Mitchell, I mean, I'm down. Let me see what Kristen's doing. It could be very fun for her. Good first experience. Yeah, no, it's us around. So you can either do a dancing roll or just a walking roll. It's up to you.

You can do the walking roll or the dancing roll. Can I let you know at a later date, Rhi, what roll I'll choose? Yeah, of course. I honestly assumed you'd go for walking. Yes, walking is my thing. Walking and waving. I think I'd do walking. All right, well, lock me in, yeah?

Let me talk to Kristen and we can go from there. Okay, well, I'll lock you in. Yep, correct. Are you sure it's locked? I've just played the sound effect. I mean, I have to talk to Chris pending what she's doing. Right. Because she's scared for her first Mardi Gras.

I would love to be in a float. Is there an after party? Are you locked in? I'm locked in. Lock me in. Lock her in. So it's a $75 fee. Yeah, but it's towards the...

No, it's all just going to mine. But I can pop it on the kiddio. I can pop it on the kiddio. Oh, in that case, yeah, put it on the business. It's a business expense. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure. And that includes your shirt, obviously. Yeah, no doubt.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, of course. Sounds fun. You sure? Yes. Okay. I'm in, definitely. I'm going to the Bondi Beach party with Slater.

When? I think that's the following week. No, when did I ask? Oh, definitely. I'm going to the Bondi Beach party with Slater. When? I think that's the following weekend. Oh, interesting. As if Sophie L. Spexer wouldn't be what you lead with. Nah, I'm a Slater boy. Fair enough. All right, that's exciting. Well, TBC on that.

What? Also good to know our mothers hate us. What? TBC? No, updates on that. It was just locked in. No, updates on it. No, we're doing it. Updates on it, on the show.

No, this is happening. Yeah. Can I get a, I can't get like a written agreement, but can we like shake on it so that I can count on you? Oh, Mitchell, but what if my friend Kristen? Shake on it. I've extended my hand. It's happening.

Are you shook on it? Is this, did we film this thing? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we do. All right. I don't even need to shake on it with Jenna. I take her at her word.

I'm doing it. I completely agree. Those eyes are locked on. All right, sure. Agreed. But let's not harp on about it. You're making me feel pressured. No, I don't want to pressure you.

It's your choice and you've chosen yes, so let's move on before we have the chance to back out. It's going to be so much fun. I'm sure it will. Should we do talkback tings before we go? Why not? It's been a while. Let's jump in.

No one our age listens to talkback radio, do they? It's all old weirdos. I actually don't think the old weirdos even listen. I think they sort of lie there while it plays to keep their heart beating. And those that can still operate a phone and have somewhat of a conversation, they call up. It's probably the same sort of clowns that were on Jenna's cruise. Yeah. I will say, though, as someone who is a broadcaster for a living, there a charm about live radio like it's so nice that's what you and i bond over

that's where the friendship really started we both love live radio and i would assume that a lot of these old people that listen to talkback radio like the really really old ones they wouldn't have things like facebook so it is a sense of community for them yeah oh 100 they don't know otherwise yeah this is their facebook but that doesn't mean that we can't have a little giggle at them behind their back because we like to bring you the cooked shit that we hear on Talkback Radio, particularly from John Laws. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, last time we discussed Talkback Tings, I think we all tried a ginger nut for the first time. For the first time? Was that your first time trying ginger nuts? Those cookies, yes. Right. Yeah. They're stunning.

Oh, they're amazing. Yeah. I went home and bought a pack. Did you? Yeah, they were delicious. They were too hard for me. But I bought the Aldi ones and they're harder at Aldi. Oh, they're amazing, yeah. I went home and bought a pack. Did you? Yeah, they were delicious. But I bought the Aldi ones. They were too hard for me. Yeah, and they're harder at Aldi. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Mitch isn't afraid of something hard in his mouth anyway. No, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. So,

John Laws, he's notoriously a bit cranky, right? Yeah, famously. And sometimes he can have his wholesome moments. Yeah. And so, someone called up to his Talkback radio show and they just wanted to tell a joke, right? Cute.

That sounds like it could be wholesome, couldn't it? Yeah, yeah. Do you want to guess which way John took it, cranky or wholesome? I'm going to say cranky, maybe even offended. Okay. Well, take a listen and find out. Taffy, are you there? I'm here.

All right, Taffy, why have you called me today? I want to tell you a little joke. A teddy bear goes for a job on the building side, John. A teddy bear? A teddy bear, yeah. And he goes up to the boss any chance of a job and the boss looks at him and thinks, oh Christ, I better give him a job. They'll have me for discrimination. So he starts off to work and he's really good. Puts his tools down and goes for his lunch. And then when he comes back from lunch, his pick has been stolen.

His what? You know his pick? Yeah. He goes back to the boss and says, Oh, he said to the boss, someone's stolen my pick. Okay, so? I forgot to tell you. Today's the day that Eddie's out my pick. Okay, so? Oh, I forgot to tell you. Today's the day that they deserve their pick, Nick.

Oh, that's very bad. No, it's not. Everyone laughs. Intelligent people usually laugh. Oh, no. Not around here. That's very corny, Taffy. Very corny.

Oh, no. Oh, yes. No, I've made a bit of money telling jokes. Stand-up comedy. They paid you money to make you sit down, I would imagine. That's terrible, John. Your program is

so boring now. That's why I try to put a joke in. Well, you've made it worse. Could you tell me, Taffy, why is the program boring? Don't tell me it's your show. Well, it is. No, it's not. It's our show, John.

Bullshit, it's my show, excuse me. Without us, you'd be nothing. You're just a nasty piece of work. Oh, dear. Free speech, anything. It's all gone. No, it hasn't. Free speech still exists. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. No, it doesn't. Well, all right, so it doesn't. Free speech still exists. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. No, it doesn't.

Well, alright, so it doesn't. I don't know. Who silenced you? Whoever tried didn't do a good enough job of it. Oh, John, you're so weak with your comebacks. Christ, not bad, though. It's not a comeback, it's simply a comment. No, yeah, you saw me, John, you bloody shit yourself. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.

Yeah. Very careful what you say. I'm six foot five and you don't know nothing, mate. Oh, come on, you raving old bully. You stupid bastard. I think you were mad, Taffy. Um, well, no. We're all mad and we're all racists, aren't we?

No. Good boy. He's an unpleasant man, that, isn't he? That was incredible. I think that was my favourite piece of John Lawson audio I've ever heard. That was incredible. That was the slowest fight I've ever heard of. The emotions. They were like fighting in slow motion, weren't they?

Yes. At one point, Taffy's threatening to bash him. Like, oh, I can destroy you. I'm six foot five. And John's only comeback was, oh, oh, oh, oh. You stupid bastard. And then he's like, that's a good comeback. Yeah, they were kind of enjoying it in a weird way.

I've got another one for you. Did Taffy call back? No, it's not Taffy. It's just another old idiot, I suppose. Yep, yep. So someone called through to John. I guess it could be John Laws' talent quest. Oh, charming.

Someone called through to do a bit of a recital. Here's how it went. Robert, are you there? Yes, I am, John. How are you? Very well, thank you. John, I'm just going to tell you I'm keeping the dream alive. I play a bit of music.

Can I play you a song? Yes, you can if you want to. Yeah, what have you got to play it on? I've got to play it on an organ, actually. Have you got an organ close to the telephone? Yeah. Organ organs are big things. Yeah, I'm all ready to go, John.

All right, well, off you go. Okay, John, one ticket. I thought he was ready., well off you go. Okay, John, one ticket. Thought he was ready. Here we go. Here we go, I think. Hey, Robert. Yes, John. Come on, mate, we can't wait all day. No, John, sorry, I've...

Right, hang on. You ready now? Yeah, John, we can't wait all day. No, John, sorry, I've... Right, hang on, all right. You ready now? Yeah, John, I'll... Am I ready? Something's happened, something stupid's happening. All right, I'll have to do it for you another time, John, sorry about that. What? How have you been, John? I've been very well, thank you, but I'm worried about your instrument.

What's happened to your instrument? Oh, John, look, something has happened. I don't know what's happened. Look, I'll do it for you another time, John, actually. I don't want to waste time here. So, no, John, I've got a great family, which I can't complain about. No, well, you wouldn't want to complain about them if they're good. Yeah. And also, John, look, I love tennis, actually.

I used to like Andre Agassi when he played tennis. Yeah, my God, he was good. I loved Andre, too. Yeah, yeah. Now, I think we might have finished our conversation. Have we, Robert? Yeah, I think we have, John, yes. Okay, goodbye.

I am taking notes once again. I'd love to end every conversation with that. I think we've finished our conversation, haven't we? Alright, goodbye. Most aggressive rock music ever. Comes out of absolutely nowhere. He's still quick on the buttons, though, isn't he? Imagine being stuck in the lift with someone. You're like, okay, goodbye.

Fuck, I wish we hadn't banned prank calls on the podcast. Imagine how funny it would be if Dot Wiggins called a radio station and said, I'm going to play the saxophone. You ready? Here I go. You'd do a better impression, actually. Hello. It's me, Dot.

I'd rather play the saxophone. Oh, you'd like to play the saxophone, would you, Dot? When you're ready. I've been told I'm good at blowing, John. Off you go. I had to wet the reed. Dot, I'm worried about your instrument.

There's nothing wrong with my instrument. No, for a giant it's been fine for a while. Aside from a little dry. Ew. There's nothing wrong with my instrument. No, it's been fine for a while. I started from Little Drive. Who? John? Yes? You playing your instrument or what? Oh, fuck.

You have to end it. Oh. I'm not quite fond of my family. I've got a gay grandson. It's a girl or a boy We're all a bit transphobic Aren't we? No that's not very kind

Dot Alright goodbye That was all I was saying We're John Law's park We're ready to go Totally I agree Let's take over 70 years of broadcasting

Let's do it You know what we need to do Because we interviewed him In like 2020 or 2021. Yeah. Ages ago now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was kind of an open door policy.

The producer said he loved you guys. You can come back and do another interview anytime. Surely he's not got long left. No. So we should get it in the can and then when he dies, we can be like, the last interview that John Wall's ever recorded. Oh, that's true. It'll blow up.

It'll go viral. That's true. That happened to me when I interviewed the guy from, what's that band? Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters. Really? His last ever interview.

He died the next morning. Fuck. And they're like, this is the last one for the two of Mitch. They're going to fly to Thailand tomorrow. And then he died. Oh, that's sad. Very sad, I know. But let's try to collect them all.

John Law's next. No, we don't wish that, of course. It's very sad. No, no, of course not. He's providing us with so much joy, even still. In the five years of this podcast, how many times has John Law's cracked us up? I know. I was so nervous during that interview.

I was so scared. I know. I was intimidated by him. Should we go? Yeah, let's get out of here. Thanks for listening, guys. Five stars, please. Leave us a review.

Back again on Monday. Can't wait to tell you all about the Taylor Swift show. Oh, God, yeah. Oh, my God, yes. Do you really want to hear it, Mitchell? You're not a fan. I'm a fake fan. I want to go because it's all anyone's talking about.

At least you can admit it. No, no, no. I just, I'm just, I just, she, I, yeah, she's great. I want to hear all about it. Very gorgeous. No, Taylor's good, just, you know. Go on. Nothing. But? Nothing. Nothing. I, Taylor's good. Just, you know. Go on. Nothing.

But? Nothing. I love her. Okay. I'm a Swiftie. I should really go back and screen record all the times you've slagged her off. I wouldn't slag her. I love her.

I'm all about burning petrol in the sky. Burn the planet down. Anyway, we'll chat to you on Monday. I think we will. Yeah, I love you guys. Thanks for listening. No worries. We will see you all in a couple of days.

Catch you then. Bye-bye. See ya. Bye. Welcome to A to D Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. The show's not over. We talk shit here.

Yeah, it keeps going. Yeah. Sort of a flow-on effect, isn't it? I suppose. Yeah, I guess. That's kind of what this is. It kind of just flows on from the main show. I need to take my fucking Dexys.

I'm fading. I'm fading too. I forgot my afternoon dose. I'm almost an hour late. I'm getting a Panadol because I've got a fucking headache. You'd give Panadol a headache, darling. Seriously. That's a good one. Did you think of that? No, I didn't. It's funny. I've got a fucking headache. You'd give Panadol a headache, darling, seriously. That's a good one.

Did you think of that? No, I didn't. It's funny. I stole it from Sean's brother, actually. I have Panadol Osteo. Oh, maybe that'd be good for my bulging disc. Do you want to take some? Yeah, go on.

Actually, no, I probably shouldn't just take Panadol for no reason. You're going to say Panadol from a stranger. I'm like, you know me very well. Actually, the doctors advised me to take Nirofen. Yes, because it's anti-inflammatory. That's true. I take a mixture if I need it. A Niramol.

Yeah. Yeah. You know you can get melts now in Nirofen and they melt in your mouth. Why would you want that? Well, because some people can't swallow tablets. Yeah, then get the liquid thing. You just watch me take my ADHD meds without water. You just dry run that.

Yeah. Jesus, Mitchell. I've been taking five or six a day for five or six years. So, of course, I've got it down pat. They're also tiny, tiny things. Actually, how many years has it been since 2015? Almost 10. That's how long I've been taking them.

Nine years. It's a long time. Nearly my Dexiversary. Oh, how cute. You're medicated by old definition. Yeah. That's fun. I just took two Panadol. I could be medicated. Oh, how cute. You're medicated by old definition. Yeah. That's fun. I just took two Panadol.

I could be medicated. Oh, my God. You're just like one of those teenagers that's like, oh, my God. I'm so drunk off the lemon lime bitters because there's a little bit of alcohol in there. I know, I know. I've had a Panadol, guys. I'm off my face. No, you're not.

You're really not. Yeah. Codril, on the other hand. Oh, boy. Codril does knock you around. You know what knocks you around? Too many ventolin inhalations. Yeah.

Like the puffers. It makes me shaky. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. It makes me shaky, jittery, crazy. Crazy. How did you get to that point? I had too many puffs.

Actually, no. When I was a kid, I'd go, I'll do it right now because I've got one. And I only have one because I've learned from my mistakes. I used to do this in high school and the girls would just drip. Ready? I'd go. Oh, you'd blow the asthma puffer out like it's a vape. Yeah.

But I didn't realise that the mouth can still absorb medication. So I'd do that 30 to 40 times a day. Oh, as a party trick. Yeah. And then I would be on the bus home shaking as a child. That's how I speak in code. Because as you know, I don't own a vape, which in my stupid mind, my logic is that if I don't own one, then I'm not addicted, am I?

That's right. But if I want to scab one from a friend, I'll say, oh, my asthma's flaring up. Do you have a puffer on you? Yeah. They're like, yes, of course. Here you go. No worries. Have some Ventolin.

Yes. Oh, I feel much better now. Yeah, of course. Of course. I'm cured. I'm shocked that I haven't gotten hooked on vapes. I love – when the grape one came out, I was like, this is delicious. I could get addicted to this.

I don't think you have that much of an addictive personality, though, do you? No, I don't. Food's my only thing. I will eat. There were chocolates out there. I had five chocolates. I just love to eat. That's my one thing.

Five chocolates. You're out of control. That's insane. Seriously. Someone try and stop me. Guys, it was really random today. I had five chocolates. And Panadol.

I know. I'm so random. Mitch called me the other night. I was driving home from doing the night show, and he was like, I'm on live. Answer your phone. I'm so random. Mitch called me the other night. I was driving home from doing the night show and he was like, I'm on live, answer your phone. I'm like, all right. I was going through the Macca's drive-thru and I ordered a McChicken patty, which is my hack, or I get the McCrispy chicken patty

and then it's just the chicken patty. But it's just like a one giant nugget. It's like this big and it's chicken and it's like a giant nugget. It's basically a schnitzel. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yes. Good point.

But it's different meat. The McChicken is a different meat to the nugget. It's like actual breast. Right. Okay. It's basically a schnitzel. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yes. Good point. But it's different meat. The McChicken is a different meat to the nugget. It's like actual breast. Right. Okay. It's chicken, though. Yeah, it's chicken. Allegedly.

Yeah, so they say. Fuck knows what it really is. Yeah. I don't want to know. How's that a hack? Well, not many people have the confidence to go, can I just have a raw piece of chicken? Put a chicken in a box. You can do it.

You can do whatever you want. Cool. You probably have never been through a drive-thru, Jenny. You don't drive. Yeah, we went put a chicken in a box. You can do it. You can do whatever you want. Cool. You probably have never been through a drive-thru, Jenny. You don't drive. Yeah, we went through. We took a through. Yeah, but have you ever driven through one? Yes.

Yeah, we do. Oh, with me? I was in the car. Yes. Oh, well, God forbid. I don't remember every moment of anything we've ever done. It's been 187.9 shows. 187.9.

Sorry, 189. It's actually 186. Oh, is it? Yeah. Good to see you're across the nitty gritty, though. Get those shirts remade. What if we just started celebrating really un-momentous episodes? Like we started sending out smash cakes to people,

being like, congratulations, Idjim, on 207 episodes. Remember I used to start the show with the number? I'd be like, episode four, feelin' sore. You did a little rhyme. Then they started to kind of repeat themselves because there's actually only ten numbers that you can rhyme with. Nine even.

There's only nine. Yeah, nine. Why? Because no matter what you're up to, 181, 182, 183, that number is still the last thing that you say, so you'd up to, 181, 182, 183, that number is still the last thing that you say, so you'd rhyme with it. Oh, yeah, right, yeah.

186. I'm feeling like a spritz. It's not good. See, it's not good. Is that going to be the episode title, Assonance? We put the R's in Assonance. Don't I ever. Don't you.

Oh, they need the promo for my night show urgently. Do you want me to do it? Do you want me to do it? Hey, guys. It's Mitch Cherry here. From the night show. From the night show. Tonight. What's happening tonight?

Taylor Swift is in town. I'll show you the script. Just read the script. And I know your trick. You throw in a few ums and ahs to make it sound like you're not reading a script and it's just natural. Here we go. Hey, it's Mitch from The Night Show. She's the biggest artist in the world.

No, you need to give them time because they'll edit in, hey, it's Mitch from The Night Show. They'll edit in, uh-huh, honey, hey. They edit in sound effects. Right. Take two. Okay. Hey, it's Mitch from The Night Show.

She's the biggest artist in the world. Oh, sorry, they put four exclamation marks on the script. She's the biggest artist in the world. Oh, sorry. They put four exclamation marks on the script. She's the biggest artist in the world. And the Ears Tour is about to hit our city. We have all your free tailor tickets. We have reserved an entire row for you and all your friends.

That was actually very good. That was good. Yums and eyes. Sounds good. Not Bugs Bunny. What's up, Dad? Kiss FM. I was in the car the other night and I happened to catch the start of your radio show.

Last night? I can't remember which night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I heard the opener for your show. Yeah. Very sneaky what they've done there. What have they done? They've got like some celebrity IDs.

Hey, it's Lizzo and I'm here with Mitch Turi. Yeah. They mention your name. Correct. And like other people, hey, it's Tones and I. I love Mitch Turi. And then they throw in, what's up? It's Taylor Swift.

It's your girl Rihanna. I love this show. I'm like, they've never spoken ever. Okay. What you're excluding is that we've got Lizzo saying Mitch Chury. I didn't exclude that. I actually fucking said that. No, but-

You really must listen. I am. What about Katy Perry? I don't have Katy Perry. Hi, this is Katy Perry with Mitch Chury. But you're right. They have put in Taylor Swift. Big artist of the moment. Yeah, that's what I said. They sprinkled it in there have put in Taylor Swift. Big artist of the moment.

Yeah, that's what I said. They sprinkled it in there to make it sound like they were also on your show. Yeah, that's a classic radio game. Yeah. Sneaky. Hang on. Can I show you something before we go, actually? Yeah.

Then I do have to run. Do you think, I've got a video because Oscar is the dance captain for the Mardi Gras play. What's Oscar's name again on this show? Roving Reporter. Roving Reporter, Oscar. Do you think this dance, it's in mirror view, like you're playing Just Dance, is doable for you? Oh, show me.

You can take the phone. Thanks. Doable? I don't want to do it. I'm not a dancer. I'm more of a... Neither am I, and I'm giving it a red hot go. Oscar's doing a great job.

I don't want to do it. I like to walk. I'm not a confident dancer, but boy, can I walk. There's one thing you've been able to do almost your whole life. Yeah. Yeah. They say I walked out of the vagina. He's learnt no new skills.

None. God, my quads are thick. You know what I can do? Yeah. Breathe. Yeah, God, you're really good at that. He's good. I can blink like no one else's fucking business.
