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 don't want to bore everyone and show you my Europe trip videos. It's a bit late for that.

Oh, fuck off. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you. Hello you. Hello, you. Just thought I'd shake it up and jump in first. What's your role? What do I have to do? What do you mean?

Be cynical the whole episode? We're going to swap roles. I'm not taking on the role of Mitch Turi. Don't stress. You did. Very hard. Big shoes to fill. Isn't it interesting that we never discussed who's going to say hello, you first.

It just kind of happened that way. No, I vividly remember having a conversation about it. Did we? Yeah, because you signed the show off and I opened the show. I think we've discussed it. Oh, okay. Well, my apologies. I've just stolen your role. That's alright. For all the people that think this show is in shambles and we don't plan, we actually have many

a conversation about the show. I can't recall them, but I'm sure we do. We actually do. I'm sure we do. We've had planning meetings. Remember when we used to actually sit down and plan? We had brunches and would brainstorm. Yeah, it's been a while since we've done one of those. I think it's good because, listen, do you really think by the end of her tenure, Tracy Grimshaw was going to every meeting for a current affair?

No. I think she was. No. Yeah. Bad example. I remember she said in an interview when she left a current affair, they were like, oh, did you ever pull your weight? I wouldn't have said that, Mitchell.

Oh, you know what I mean. She's heavily criticised for the fluctuation. By who? By the mass media and market and Michelle Turi. What is it with parents that just judge female news presenters' costumes? Not even costumes, clothes. They're not costumes. I'm not going to name who, but over Christmas I was at

home and we were watching TV and someone came on TV and my dad, he was talking as if he was chiming in on a conversation that hadn't taken place. He just goes, yeah, yeah. She has always been heavy, hasn't she? I'm like, Ian, don't be rude. Who was it? I'm not telling you. Can I say it because I think I know and then you bleep it out if it's right? Yeah. No. Oh, okay. Bleep that out, please.

Okay. It wasn't her, but you're getting warmer. Yeah, my dad, that person redacted that I just said was on TV and dad went, God, she's fat for a TV host. That's not even true. Not even true. Oh, God, parents are dreadful. They really are.

Anyway, sorry, we're not the Tracy Grimshaw. What are we? We're like the Carl Stefanovic. We're resting on our laurels. Well, what I was going to say was Tracy was quite hands-on because she said in an interview that she did have a lot of say over the show and the one thing she banned was like bra stories, I think. She's like, I'm so over it.

You're kidding. They kept doing like miracle bra stories. You know the R bra? Yeah, the Wonder Bra. No, it's literally called the ah bra. Oh, it's like the competitor to the wonder bra. It's supposed to be like, when you take it off, you just want to say, ah. Oh God, that's good branding. I don't even have tits and I want to buy an ah bra. Who actually says ah? Idiots with tits. Please let me know. Is that a thing? Tidiots. Tidiots. Nice. I reckon if I had a bra, I'd take it off and be like, oh. Yeah, totally.

It wouldn't be like a, ah. Into the girl bra. When I take my undies off, I actually make noise. I'm going to try and replicate it. I'd be like, oh. Like it's that. Okay. It's a run.

It's like a release. How do you spell that if you're going to do your own range of undies? Oh. G-R-O-A-U-G-H. Oh, girl. By cheery. What would yours be? I don't know what noise I make when I get my undies off

no, when you take your hair tie out that's the Mitchell Coombs of it all I reckon it's the same noise that seems like you're upset with it well it's almost like a relief sometimes if the hair's up for too long I get a fucking headache do it again, I'm going to close my eyes okay, I'll actually take my hair out

I've got it in a ponytail you sound stressed Mitchell Do it again. I'm going to close my eyes. Okay. I'll actually take my hair out. I've got it in a ponytail. I go like, there we go. You sound stressed, Mitchell. I am, perpetually. I'm like, get it out. There's a spider in there. No. Speaking of stressed, our third wheel prize keeper, Jenna, is not here.

She's not. Can you fucking believe it? And we said only, what, two, three weeks ago? Literally the most recent episode. I've got a transcript. Can I read you a believe it? And we said only, what, two, three weeks ago? Literally the most recent episode. I've got a transcript. Can I read you a direct quote? Goodness, like you're a stenographer. Yeah, go for it.

A what? They're those people that type in court. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, that's me. With that weird keyboard that has six numbers, six buttons somehow, and they're like, yes, I'm documenting the whole thing. Ah, yeah. Well, this is what you said.

Yeah. Literally, in our most recent episode, 194, you said, Mitch and I were talking. We're very impressed with your availability this season. I said, you've done like 10 episodes without wagging. You can understand our shock, though, because historically you've not been dedicated. And this is what Jenna said.

Yes, exactly. But, you know, it's a new year. It's a new me. Wow. Bullshit. We gassed her up too much and now she's gotten complacent. She's not here. Same year, same old cow, Jenna Benson.

No, she's busy working. She was at the Sydney Royal Easter Show press day. And try and come between her and the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Totally. I called her and said, hey, can you let me in because we're in the old station. I don't have a buzzer. She went, I'm on the dodgers. I went, all right, I'll talk to you later, Jenna.

That's just like her thing, the Easter Show. You know how people have things? Like I've got a good friend who, you know, James, you would have met him at Mardi Gras. Yeah, yeah. His thing is Disney. He's been to Disneyland multiple times. Have I shown you his Eeyore collection?

I don't think I want to see it, no. No, you do. It's actually impressive. His Eeyore collection. Yes. I don't know. I think Eeyore's his favourite character. I've seen him on Disneyland multiple times. Have I shown you his Eeyore collection? I don't think I want to see it, no. No, you do. It's actually impressive. His Eeyore collection. Yes. I don't know. I think Eeyore's his favourite character. I'm not sure why.

He actually kind of has an Eeyore energy about him. What, miserable? No. No, no, no, no. Eeyore's depressed as fuck. Not enough people are talking about Eeyore's welfare. No, Eeyore's sleepy and beloved. Here's the photo.

Show me. That's the Eeyore collection. Oh, well, that really is a- Right? Oh, this is cute. So that's his photo. Show me. That's the Eeyore collection. Oh, well, that really is a – Right? Oh, this is cute. So that's his thing. He loves Disney. Jenna's thing is the Easter show and nothing and no one can come between it.

What's your thing? I don't think I have a thing, which is a bit sad. I agree. I was talking to someone. They're like talking about branding or marketing. They're like, who is Mitch Turi? And I actually couldn't really work it out. I just don't have any – like I've had obsessions over the years

and hyper fixations, but none of them have like stuck, you know. You know what we should do? We should talk to our idiots and tiddiots and ask them, when you think of us, what are our pillars? Yeah. But I also want to know other people's things. What are you unapologetically obsessed with?

That's a great segment. Why don't we in a couple of weeks get people on and all we know is their first name and you go, hi, I'm Paula. My thing is. Okay. And we just unpack it. And that's a great, it's like a, what's your thing? Yeah. Just come on and talk about something that you're obsessed with. When I was in primary school, my thing was SpongeBob SquarePants. I was one of those kids that was obnoxiously obsessed. I had like a coloring in book. And then in the last page, it was a certificate. And it said, I hereby declare you the number one SpongeBob SquarePants fan in the world. It was a book I got at Big W. Did you have to print that yourself?

I got it. I made my mum lemonade at her office job. And I took it to school and I was so proud of being the SpongeBob SquarePants number one fan. But another kid had it because it was from a book. Oh, they just kind of threw that little slip in there. Yeah. I was so upset. I was like, but I have this. How can he? I don't really understand how purchasing things from a chain worked. Like everyone could buy it. Was it like a golden ticket? Yeah, it was.

Like only some books had that certificate in it. I know. It had a perforated edge, you know, like you just ripped it out. Like it had the. Oh. Yeah, yeah. Like a sealed section. Yeah, it did.

Oh, interesting. I know, but it was signed by SpongeBob and Mr. Crappy Patty. It was a whole thing. Anyway, if it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? They're fictional, darling. I don't know how to tell you. It's also underwater. Like, how would they have written?

It doesn't make sense. We start every episode with an Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch does not know mine. I do not know Mitchell's. What's yours about this week? Can you give us a little tease? My relationship.

Ooh, okay. People are so interested in the DMs, and I thought, well, I actually have questions and concerns. Okay. Well, mine's about not family drama, but it's family related. Really? Last time I spoke about my relationship was grim. Last time you spoke about your family, your dad was calling a fat bitch. That's true.

Do you want me to tell you who it was, by the way? Yeah, bleep it out. I know. Isn't that so rude? So rude. I mean, it's not wrong. No, I'm joking. I'm joking.

It is wrong. Really? For saying that. Oh, for saying it. Yeah, but I mean, factually. I think she's on the Zen pic. Okay. I'll go first.

Why not? Yeah, all right. Hit us. Is it just me or? Do you not know how to launch a relationship in 2024? Not in 2024. I did it in 2023. Yeah, see, well, I feel like you'd be able to, I can't remember what you did.

And I want to hear what you did with Sean. But the last time I launched a relationship was 2018. Like a hard launch, soft launch was different. Would you say that you've already done the soft launch with this person that you're exclusive with but no one knows his name? Well, I can name him. I'm happy to name him. Oh, okay.

Well, this is how you do it, I guess. I was going to say, should this just be the announcement? Why not? Well, I feel bad. I should have been more prepared because how I announced Sean was you had the fucking bow and arrow Cupid sound effect and you made a big song and dance about it. We can hold it for another episode.

Mitchell officially has a boyfriend. Well, I officially do now. It's all official. Wow. Okay. Are you allowed to say his name? His name, ladies and gentlemen. Ah, here we go.

He's brought his own bells and whistles. His name, everybody. Mystery Man no longer. The gorgeous, the beautiful. He's six foot, blonde, brown hazel eye. There's a weird freckle on his eye. It's actually quite endearing. He's beautiful. His name is Stephen. Oh, this is brand new information for me. I had no idea. You didn't know his name? No, I've known his name for ages. You've been the first to know. There was a period of time when you sort of started seeing him that I didn't bother to commit his name to memory because I'm like, is it going to be like a side character

in Friends that you don't need to get to know yet? But then once he'd been around for a while, I was like, I know you've told me a million times but what's his fucking name again? Well, like, just to be fully transparent, I adore him. He's beautiful. He's so gorgeous and so cute. He's such a sweetheart. You've met him. He's so sweet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He, um, we were like, we realised he brought it up with me. He's beautiful. He's so gorgeous and so cute. He's such a sweetheart. You've met him. He's so sweet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We were like, we realised, he brought it up with me. He's like, we've been dating for like seven, eight months. Fuck, have you? Yeah. And I was like, oh my God. As in like when you first met each other? Yeah, first. Yeah, okay.

We weren't, no. So it's been like, what, three, four months like dating, dating. But we were talking for a while, you know, when I was doing my thing. Anyway, yeah. It's exciting, isn't it? Well, it looks like you do know how to launch a relationship. You just did it, I guess. Well, I guess I did it. But my question is, for God's sake, like I would put up a photo.

I was in Orange on the weekend, which is, oh my God, so near you. I know. I couldn't believe it. I texted you. I was like, I need to hear your thoughts on Orange because that was the big day out in Bogengate. It's an hour and a half away. It's got the JJs. It's got the movie cinemas. I texted you. I was like, I need to hear your thoughts on Orange because that was the big day out in Bougainvillea. Yes. It's an hour and a half away.

It's got the JJs. It's got the movie cinemas. Oh, it was a fucking teenager's dream, a day trip to Orange. Mitchell, Orange was beautiful. I love it. That's where Stephen is at the moment. So I went up to Orange to see him. He's living there at the moment.

It's dreadful. But I wanted to see him. Do you think that's dreadful? Again, that was the city to me. No, because he's on his own, you know. He doesn't have anyone. So I went to visit him and we'll talk about Orange and Parks and the dish of it all later.

But I was putting photos up and any time I put a photo up, like I put a photo up of a bird that flew into a window and he happened to be in the reflection. I didn't notice the bird in the window. I thought you were posting a video of your reflection. No, a bird flew into a window. Yeah, because I saw that and I was like, what is he trying to show us? Oh, a bird.

It flew into the window. And everyone was like saw that and I was like, what is he trying to show us? Oh, a bird. It flew into the window. And everyone was like, soft launch, soft launch, hard launch. I'm like, no, that bird launched quite a hard one. That's a hard launch. It's got a broken beak for fuck's sake. I know. I went, oh, that's actually, they're talking about him. But you can't do anything without it having to be something.

And I didn't want to do a hard launch. We've got gorgeous photos. I think I sent you a photo of us together. It's like, I don't know. I don't want a hard launch. Well, you don't have to if you don't want to. This is my hard launch. We've got gorgeous photos. I think I sent you a photo of us together. It's like, I don't know. I don't want a hard launch. Well, you don't have to if you don't want to. This is my hard launch. There you go.

It's odd. You see people and like the Chris Olsons of it all on TikTok and he hard launched his boyfriend on TikTok, right? Did he? Yeah. Because he had that big public relationship. Who was the one that he was passing on the Harbour Bridge? Is that who you're talking about?

That's his new boyfriend. But they broke up after like six months. but he went so hard and i'm like i don't want to do that it's so much it's such a big thing and and i think my last relationship was so public i'm like maybe i'm in my private era oh but your breakup announcement was great for rating so hard launch every person you ever go on a date with that's how i know i'm in the right business position with you because that's true is it just me you should follow these idiots online search couple of mitches now coming up in episode 196 which is out this wednesday yeah i'm doing it i'm fucking doing it what the segment we spoke about ages ago.

Will it blend? No, not yet. I would like to do that, though. That's absolutely happening. Yeah. But we spoke about it ages ago, and frankly, I wasn't fond of your attitude towards it. But I'm backing myself.

Oh, no, no. We're not talking about. The top five bike bells. Yep. I'm supportive in all your creative endeavours, and I guess you sat through the best doorbells. I did. And the best car horns.

And I like those segments. And the best car horns. The only issue is, and I support you and I support my Fenway. My Fenway Orbegina. Correct. Yeah. However, they all sound the same, Mitchell. A bike bell is a bike bell.

They do not change bike to bike. Well, that's where you're wrong. I'm going to prove you completely wrong. This is stupid. Just you wait. Give me a fucking chance, would you? Sure, sure. But wait, so what do you mean? Have you found them online or are these idiots? No, these are people that actually sent their bike bells to me, our idiots. How many people ride bikes? Quite a few, as it turns out. I didn't realise our idiots are... Enough for a top five. Put it that way. Right, okay, sure. Now, is my Fenway's included in the top five? Well, I didn't put her in the running, but I did

bring it just so you can hear it. The bike? Not the bike. It wouldn't fit in the fucking boot. Well, listen, we can't hook and tease every good episode, so Wednesday will just be you'll be able to hear it. That's all I'm going to commit to. Yeah, thanks for that. By the way, speaking about idiots. Yeah.

I need to fucking tell you, last weekend I was in Newcastle for my comedy shows. Yes. During Newcastle Fringe and I ran into so many idiots. Oh, really? Yes, it was so gorgeous. People were coming up saying, hello you. People were saying, hi, I'm an idiot. No.

Which never fails to make me laugh. It's a hilarious way to introduce yourself. Hello, I'm an idiot. Yes, hilarious. make me laugh. It's a hilarious way to introduce yourself. Hello, I'm an idiot. Yes, hilarious. It was gorgeous. That's why we designed it. There were a few idiots that you would remember. Oh, yeah.

There were so many. Not the one that I hooked up with. I don't know. No one told me, so I don't think so. Okay. I got to meet Lainey. Remember, she's the one that bought my pot that I made in our pottery class. Oh, my God, yeah.

Yep, she was there. I met Mitch, who bought our ukulele. Oh, my God, yeah. Yep, she was there. I met Mitch who bought our ukulele. Oh, my God, he's gorgeous, right, Hans? Yes. He's got Lone Clothing Co. Lone Clothing Co. What a legend. I met Hayley.

Remember we chatted to her on the phone about seedless fruit? Oh, I did. That was one of my favourites. She was on the way to the circus at the time. I think we spent more time on the circus than we did on the fruit. We did. There were kids in the back and her partner was there. Embarrassingly, I also met Hayley's partner, Britt.

Yeah. And I went and interacted with them during the show and it was really dark up the back. And I said, oh, so, Hayley, did you drag him along with you? And they were like, ah, Britt's a girl. Whoops. Oh. I was like, it's dark.

Sorry. Sorry about that. You'd think someone like me who gets mistaken for the opposite gender all the fucking time would have a bit more patience. I'd spend a little bit more time. How did they take it? Were they okay? Oh, they were fine.

Sorry again if you're listening, Britt. And also, how adorable is this? I met a woman named Kelly. Yes. Who bought a present for me. Oh my God. Guess what it was? What? It was a replacement unicorn money box. Get out. Do you have it? I don't have it with me. No. It's at home. You don't bring it near me. I was going to say don't. No, you can't be trusted because you broke the last one I was given during our Secret Santa

episode. It was an accident. Yeah. And it was smashed and she felt so bad for me. And she fished it out of the garage, I think she said. It used to belong to her daughter. Oh, that's so cute. Isn't that so sweet? I was like, that's so special. I teared up. Is it the same one?

Exactly the same. What are the odds? I know, right? What are the odds? So thank you, Kelly, for listening. That made my day. Thanks, Kelly, for ruining his house. They're hideous.

It is an ugly ornament. It is not. It is, I think. I love it. Well, I met a bunch of idiots in Orange. I don't remember their names. Really? Because you're good at that. Yeah.

I had someone message me and went, hi, I saw you walking down Main Street Orange, but didn't want to come up to you. I'm an idiot. That's interesting that you get that too, because I get those messages a lot saying, oh, I was too scared to approach you. And I thought maybe that's my bitch face, but you look approachable. I was with, oh, I can say his name now. Steven. Steven. So maybe she was like, I want to keep the mystery alive. She didn't want to see him.

You were sprung. I had another one at a clothing shop. They worked at a clothing shop and she messaged me after and was like, was that you? And I was like, yeah, she's like, come back. I didn't have the time. I'll tell you what, though, the Newcastle gigs, definitely the rowdiest fucking crowd I've ever had.

In Newcastle, yeah. Ever. Oh, they're nuts. I got the impression that a lot of the people in the audience were mums who had organised babysitters. It was their first night out in a while and they were fucking going hard making it count. Yeah, I can imagine. To the point where some of them were a bit disruptive.

Like, I love the audience interaction stuff, as you know. Yeah. But some of them I was like, oh, shut up. I keep losing my way. Totally, yeah, yeah. There was someone called Lover. She was having a great night. She stood up in the front row, lifted a skirt and flashed a box at me.

Oh, gorgeous. For absolutely no reason. And how was it? I looked away pretty quick, I couldn't tell you. I couldn't describe it in detail. And then that same woman got a photo with me after the show and grabbed my crotch twice. And I was like, maybe, no, no, just swatting her away from my dick.

No need to come to the next show. Yeah. There's a bit of a, there's a line, isn't there? When it's crossed, it's definitely crossed. It's the first time ever that someone's been kicked out of the venue at one of my comedy shows. Really? Oh, she actually got kicked out? Not her.

One of the other shows, there was someone who was so written off that they kicked her out after the show, thankfully. Was she screaming during the show? Not screaming, but as the night went on, she got a little bit more slurry. So by the end of the comedy show, when she started interacting, someone screams out, don't do drugs, kids. Oh, that's funny. Because she started getting more and more slurry. I was like, okay, she's going hard.

Fuck me. Oh, they sound like they were good gigs. No, they were really fun. I loved it. Good. Well, you love it. Idiots are very supportive, aren't they? Yeah, they really are.

They're very supportive. No, thank you to everyone that came along. I'm potentially doing, I don't know if I'm supposed to say, potentially doing Dubbo soon. Oh, my God. I know, Dubbo. That's near Parks. Mm-hmm.

And Orange, right? Like up. Not really near Orange, but it's the same central west region. Right, okay, yeah. Yeah, when I was there, I went to this coffee shop and she was like, best coffee in the inner west. Was it Two Fat Ladies? It was Two Fat Ladies.

They're the best, Two Fat Ladies. I know. Stephen went and bought cowboy ladies? It was two fat ladies. They're the best two fat ladies. I know. Stephen went and bought cowboy boots. He didn't buy them. They were glitzy cowboy boots. We walked in and the lady's like, do you have cowboy boots? She's like, mm-hmm. Do you have glitter on them?

And she went, honey, come with me. And then as we were walking, she went, you know, 70 years ago, I came to this town, one gay man, two lesbians. You could tell the lesbians were lesbians. They were very butch. But that man, no one knew. I did. I saw him run on the AFL field.

I could tell. So I know exactly what shoes you like. She was a fag hag from way back. I love it. It was really sweet. Glittery cowboy boots. He's really committing to being in the country, isn't he? Totally.

Yeah. I don't even own a pair of those and I'm a country boy. And he's there for six weeks. By the time they get ordered in from, I don't know, Paris Fashion Week, he'll be back in Sydney. Anyway, should we do your Is It Just You? Is It Just Me? Oh, my idgim, yes, of course. Let's get into it.

Is it just me or? Do you reckon I should disown my brother? Mark Coombs? Mark fucking Coombs. The best plumber in the Central West. Builder. Builder, and he's not in the Central West. He's in Newcastle. Best plumber in the country. Best plumber in the Central West. Builder. Builder. And he's not in the Central West. He's in Newcastle.

Best plumber in the country. Best plumber in the Central West. Don't Google him. You won't find plumbers by the name of Coombs in the Central West. Okay, sorry. My fault. Yeah. What has he done?

Well, you know how I went home for Mum's 60th a couple of weekends ago. Yes. He pulled the cruelest stunt on me. Oh, no. And I just don't know how to feel about our relationship going forward. You like a prank, though. Normally you're famously okay. It wasn't a prank, I would say, but he did me fucking dirty.

Yeah. Okay. So I got home. I surprised mum. She didn't know I was coming home for her birthday. Right. And then after a while, Mark goes, oh, Mitch, do you want a wine? And he pulls out this bottle of white wine.

And I said, nah, nah, we're right. I'm not the biggest fan of Sauv Blanc. And Mark says, oh, so you don't like this stuff. Why don't you check the label? And this is what he handed me. Ready? Here. You read the label?

Nice trend. It's a glass bottle. Other side. Okay. It says, Brown Brothers, Australia, glass bottle. Other side. Okay. It says Brown Brothers Australia. Drink up. We're knocked up. Baby Coombs arriving September 24.

Oh my God. They're pregnant. They are. My little brother is going to have a daughter. Isn't that adorable? This is what they gave you? They did. I'm surprised it's still unsealed, unopened.

You're going to drink it. I'll never drink it. This is precisely they gave you? They did. I'm surprised it's still unsealed, unopened. You're going to drink it. Well, I'll never drink it. This is precisely the problem. It's not Sauvblanc. It's worse. What is it? Fucking Moscato. No niece of mine will be raised by parents who buy Moscato on purpose.

That's a sin. Yuck. Maybe that's a clue to the name. If it's a little baby, it parents who buy Moscato on purpose. That's a sin. Yuck. Maybe that's a clue to the name. If it's a little baby, it'll be baby Moscato. Moscato Coombs. Well, if it was a boy, he wanted to call it Tooey's. Oh, my God. Mark, if you're listening, do not do that.

I know. Can you believe that? He's 25. He's already having a kid. Very. Other straight people do it. Mitchell, they're doing it so early. It's all they have. Clearly.

Oh, my God. I'm so happy for him. What's his partner's kid. The straight people do it, Mitchell. They're doing it so early. It's all they have. Clearly. Oh my god, I'm so happy for him. What's his partner's name? Sasha. Sasha. Very exciting. Congrats, Sasha and Mark. I didn't even notice the sneaky bitch that she wasn't drinking over Christmas. I remember offering her a wine and she was like, no, I'm alright. I didn't even think about it. Well, do you know what this means? I'm not trying to

hijack. But Rebecca, my older sister, is also expecting and she's expecting in July. Really? So we're going to be uncles in the same year. I'm already an uncle, but yeah. Oh, fuck. Yeah, true. Sorry, sorry. Well, it's my first uncle hood. Oh my God, both our siblings are having babies this year.

I know. Well, my sister obviously already has three kids. Yeah. And now that my brother's having kids, I'm like, bloody hell. So what does that mean for you? You have to be an uncle? Do you be a godfather? Are they not asked yet? Oh, well, I'm an uncle, obviously, just by default.

Yeah, right. Oh, you already are. No, my sister didn't do the godparent thing. I don't imagine I would have been chosen anyway. Chosen, no. Clearly Mark's godmother fucked up, didn't teach him anything about premarital sex. No, of course not. In the eye of the Lord.

This is a really cute gif. This is a nice way to do it. But Moscato, yuck. Yeah, they should know you better. You're not a Moscato boy. If anything, you're Chardonnay first. Or Rose for fuck's sake. Yeah, Rose.

Oh, my God, Rose and Rand. Do they not watch the clips being made in the oven? But also we absolutely sharted all over my surprise, didn't we? I'm like, surprise, mum, I'm home. She's like, who gives a fuck? I'm going to be a grandma again. Did Jane already know about the baby? Okay, so she knew.

And she kept saying, Mark, why don't you give Mitchell a wine? Which I thought was weird. Yeah. She kept hinting, like, do it now, do it now. Mum, I'm on the Sarah DiLorenzo diet. Give me a break. I don't need a wine. I felt a bit bad, actually, because when he handed that to me,

I just kind of froze. I didn't know how to react. I didn't even say congratulations. You were emotional. froze. I didn't know how to react. I didn't even say congratulations. You were emotional. Not, I don't know how to describe it. Can we have a mini group therapy? Yeah, of course. Really quickly.

It wasn't emotional or anything like that. But I think I was overthinking or spiralled a little bit in that moment because I was like, oh, so this is where we're at. Is it? Is this where I'm supposed to be giving mom and dad grandkids because i don't fucking know if that'll ever happen frankly so yeah like do you remember you don't understand this i believe do you remember before you came out as gay yeah like when you were really really young you were none the wiser you didn't know you were gay and you imagined what your future would look like yeah the default is what comes to mind you just imagine a wife and kids

and whatever totally family a house yeah and then obviously when you're going through the coming out process you kind of have to let go of that future that you'd imagined yeah almost grieve it in a way yeah but it's for the best obviously you're living your truth that's a good thing blah blah blah blah blah yeah and so yeah when i was like fuck now i'm the only sibling without kids i was a little bit like shit that's is this where we're at now because it's not just my siblings my fucking best friend from uni you selly she's pregnant also jill and july best friend from high school already has two kids sean's brother and his wife are having a baby and i'm like fuck it's just so abstract to me at this point, the idea of children.

Totally. I agree. But then I also, I've been through that exact same feeling like my whole life. Like I've got cousins that have kids, Becky's pregnant, my sister. But I kind of like that, you know, we're marching to the beat of our own drummer. Like we just live a different life. That's not our life.

I don't miss the idea of that anymore. I'm excited that I'm on my own path. No, I'm there now. I'm there now. I've gone through the motions. I've thought about it rationally. But I don't know why in that moment when I got the bottle of wine, I was a bit like, oh, oh, fuck.

Especially because I saw how excited mum and dad were about the announcement and I was kind of like, I just don't know if this is something I'm going to experience with them. Totally. But you know what? Your siblings can't give your parents the smile of glee when they get up on stage to do a stand-up show. Like you give your parents – no, it's true. You give your parents something different.

Yeah, I know. You're offering so much more, you know. Not more, just different. No, well, I'm not sure. You've got a blue tick. Your sister and brother do not. I don't know if that's something that Mum and dad are going to look back on their deathbed and think about the proudest moments of their life.

But anyway. Mum, dad, I'm giving you a blue tick. Congrats, I paid for it with Meta. No, I know what you mean. You know, I often think back to the Sean Zeps interview, which if you haven't listened to that episode, if you're queer and you haven't listened to that episode on our podcast, one of the best. Like he was a great interview.

He was. He's got two children via surrogate. He said it cost him something like $200,000 to have kids. Fuck, I don't remember that. A lot of money. And I often think back to that. I'm like, A, we have to battle out in the housing crisis, for God's sake. We have to try and save up to buy a house to live so we don't have to rent

our whole lives and be in debt. And two, if we want kids, it's going to cost us an arm and a leg. That gives me anxiety and stress. There's a few more hoops to jump through, isn't there? A lot more. I can't just get knocked up. No. Clearly Sean's shooting blanks because if he was,

then I would be knocked up already. I was going to say you should go on your back with your legs up for half an hour. Apparently that really helps bake it in. No, but would you change being gay if you could? No, of course not. Another one. I love it.

Can't think of anything worse. I know than not being gay. I can think of a couple of things. Like what? Probably like a blunt force trauma to the head. I'd take that't think of anything worse. I know they're not being gay. I could think of a couple of things. Like what? Probably like a blunt force trauma to the head. I'd take that any day of the week. I'd take that any day of the week. Oh, that's exciting news.

No, it is exciting news. I feel bad that in the moment I wasn't as excited as I should have been, but. It's very real. No, it's good. It's good. Do you and Sean want kids? Have you had the conversation? No, we've not had the conversation in terms of us together.

Yeah. He's made it very clear that he wants kids. I haven't really thought about it because, again, it's so abstract at this point in my life. We don't even fucking live together. No. That's why I was like, fuck you, Mark. You've overtaken me in terms of milestones.

You own property and now you're having a fucking child. And he's very handsome. Wow. No, he just is beautiful. I'll have a growth spurt one day. No, no, Mark is just very attractive. You reckon? Oh, yeah. Okay is beautiful. I'll have a growth spurt one day. Mark is just very attractive. You reckon? Oh yeah. Okay, interesting. I'll let him know.

I was going to say he's married but he's not. He's a sinner. He's got a baby. Sean and you, the baby. My question is would you move in together? I guess you'd have to do it first. Would you move in together when you're rent? He's literally moving in with me in August. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.

When did that happen? Ages ago. I didn't know this. I didn't know. It's nothing I had to announce. No, but it's just exciting. His lease is up, so he's moving in with me in August. Oh, congratulations. And then my lease is up in November and we'll figure out what to do from there, I guess.

Your place is lovely. I'd like to stay in my suburb, but that's a later problem. You could get a two bedroom. See what I mean? I'm still, I'm nowhere near thinking about having children. I'm just like, how do I be close to my Pilates studio? Yeah, right. That's a priority.

Yeah, but then Mitchell, it can all come crashing down. Look at me. I thought I was going to get married and have kids in the next two years. And then it implodes. Well, that's really inspiring. Thanks for casting a shadow of doubt on my relationship. No, I'm not. No, no, no.

But I'm just saying things can change at the drop of a hat, you know. Yeah, no, I get it. Also, fertility is a bitch. Being able to have kids is very hard. Like it's such a struggle. Not even for gay people. Easier for some than others, evidently. It is.

But even for a lot of heterosexual people, being able to conceive is a struggle. I didn't even realise. But this is a gay podcast. It's about the gay struggle. Yeah, exactly. Australia. There's podcasts for you guys if you're straight and you've got having struggles. So your sister's having a baby, right? She struggled for a long time, yeah. Oh, okay. There's podcasts for you guys if you're straight and you've got having struggles. So your sister's having a baby, right?

She struggled for a long time, yeah. She struggled for ages conceiving. And how did you feel when she announced that? Oh, I cried my eyes out. Yeah, there you go. She had issues and she was very public. She had a miscarriage. It was in quite a while. She had a couple months on it and she lost it.

It was the first baby in the family and that gutted all of us. Same time as the breakup too. It was like a rough couple months. Fucking hell. It was awful. And then she got diagnosed with MS and then now she's pregnant again and it's past the 12 weeks.

So it's joyous. Oh, it's like the best thing that ever happened. It's really nice. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see how you feel when the other sister has a baby too. Because once you're outnumbered, I remember feeling the same way when Mark started dating Sasha because I was like, well, now I'm the only single sibling.

Fuck, I've been left behind here. Yeah, yeah. But also the younger sibling. Yeah. Mark's the baby. I know. I'm like, slow down, dog. Fuck, there's no rush.

Was it doggy, was it? Huh? Oh, dog. I thought you said doggy. Slow down, doggy, I thought. No. Slow down with the doggy. I thought maybe that's what they did.

Why would I say that to my brother? I don't know. You've been watching a lot of porn, haven't you? No, I haven't. I don't need any porn. I'm off porn. Have I told you my new thing? No.

I don't watch any porn. Okay. It's bad for the brain. I saw a TikTok, so I went off it. Why? How is it bad for the brain? It just whys you to want unrealistic, ridiculous things. Oh, yeah.

I know what you mean. Okay. Just to be like making that your sexual satisfaction. It's like, especially when you've got a partner, it's like, you're fine, you know? Okay. It's also awful and aggressive and that's too much. Yeah, I don't really watch anything like that, to be honest. Yeah, no, no, no.

That VR porn you showed me on the podcast was harrowing. I haven't touched that thing since. I can't look at it the same way. Yeah, maybe for the best. Yeah. Anyway, Mark and Sasha, if you're listening, sorry I forgot to say congratulations in the moment because I was in my own head, but congratulations. Shall we just call them quickly and do a quick congratulations on the show?

Oh, okay. Hang on. I'll call him. Give him a call. I'll just do it on my phone. I can't be bothered doing it at the desk here. I'll just call him now. Mark and Sharon, was it?

Sasha. Sasha. Sasha. He's on the work sign, I reckon. Hello. Hi. Congrats. I hung up.

That'll do. I didn't get to say anything. Yeah, he's a man of few words, so he'll appreciate me not fucking about. Fair enough. Is it just me? That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? All right, let's jump in now.

If you want to be on the show, you can DM us a couple of Mitches on Instagram. That's right. Or if you've got an is it just me of your own, you can text this number. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. Send us a text, bud. Yeah, it's is it just me Mondays or Is It Just Mondays? Well, either works.

Is It Just Me Mondays and fucking back-to-back Is It Just Me marathon. It really is. Now we want to hear from our idiots. It's like animation domination on a Saturday morning back in the day when you'd get Family Guy and The Simpsons back-to-back. Oh, fuck, they were the days. And sometimes they'd do Futurama, which I love, but then they'd put in American Dad and it would really fuck me up.

Yeah, I know. I hated that. Did you know that they don't do the Simpsons Saturday marathon thing every Saturday? Like one time when I had Foxtel, Sean came over and I was like, let's put on Fox 8, just like the old days. Simpsons, Family Guy. We put it on and it wasn't there. And he goes, no, I'm pretty sure they only do that during school holidays.

Well, that makes sense. I was like, what? In my mind, I just believed that the rich kids who could afford pay TV were doing that every weekend. No. I was so jealous. They'd have Buffy the Vampire Slayer on. Fuck that.

Yeah. All right, let's make a call. We're going to Croydon in Melbourne today. Gorgeous. I know. Who are we calling? We're talking to Emma. Emma.

She's a big old idiot. She lives in Croydon, so of course she is. She better not be busy WT fuck Emma What are you doing? Hello Hello is that Emma? Emma Hi

Hi darling how are you? It's Mitch and Mitch I'm good how are you? We're good The bitch that is Jenna is sick. That's good. Actually, she's not sick. Oh, really?

Yeah, she just bailed on the show. Oh, that's so sad. Slack ass. You're our honorary third wheel in this moment, Emma. Oh, that's amazing. What are you up to right now? Not much. I just got back from like going out for lunch and now I'm just at home.

Beautiful. What did you have for lunch? Tell us in great detail. In great detail. Beautiful. What did you have for lunch? Tell us in great detail. In great detail. Yeah. It was just like Italian place and I had like a – Yeah, that was good enough. What a bitch.

I'm just joking. I'm teasing. How long have you been an idiot, Emma? Oh, like literally like two years now. Oh, yeah. Fuck yeah. Where did you find us? I think it was through Trash Ali.

I hate to say. Oh, good. What do you mean you hate to say? No, I'm with you, us? I think it was through Trash Alley, I hate to say. What do you mean you hate to say? I'm with you, Emma. I'm with you. I think I'd rather listen to your Italian meal than talk about that shit. How rude. I'm joking. I'm joking.

Hey, well, you've got an Is It Just Me of your own, right, and Is It Just You? Yes. All right. Well, Bradley will count you in and then hit us with it. Go, Brad. Is it just me or? Did it take you a second too long to notice the Easter eggs in the new artwork for the podcast?

Oh, right, fuck. Here I was thinking you were talking about literal Easter eggs. Yes. Oh, no. If you zoom in, there is a red tulip under my armpit. In Bitch's teeth, there is a crunchy egg. So why do people call it Easter eggs? What do they mean?

Like a clue? That's a good question. Or a hidden thing. An Easter egg, it's actually, I do know this, it's a gaming terminology, an Easter egg, because I believe the first Easter egg was an Easter egg. So it's a hidden item in a game for the players to find. I believe in Minecraft or something, the very first Easter egg was an actual Easter bunny egg. Like a hidden surprise the players to find. I believe in Minecraft or something, the very first Easter egg was an actual Easter bunny egg.

Like a hidden surprise. Correct. Oh, that's cute. Yeah, I might be wrong, but I think they call them Easter eggs. So what Easter egg of ours are you referring to there, Em? Em could be gaslighting us. She might not know. The one that I, like, noticed was the Mona Lisa in the background.

And at first I was like, oh, that's nice. Like that's kind of random. And then I zoomed in and I was like, is that Jenna? And I literally like Googled the real Mona Lisa just to double check. I wasn't like losing my mind. And I'm like, no, that is Jenna. And then I later found out it was like a music video reference. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm Beyonce, Mitch is Jay-Z and she's the Mona Jenna. Yeah, beautiful. And I'm so glad you've told me that it took you a while to realise it's Jenna because that's actually what I wanted.

Totally. When I spoke to Sam who was editing the artwork, I said, can you try and make it so subtle that it takes people a while? That's so funny, Mitchell. That's why I was like, is that Jenna or someone else? Like who else? No, it's Jenna. And you can imagine us trying to explain what we're trying to achieve

to the photographer being like, so Jenna, just sit there with a really emotionless face. Just no expression. And the photographer's kind of like, do you want a smile? Do you want a nice one? That was very stressful for us to try to get the message across to the photographer. He was amazing though.

Love him. Also, I have said, you've been there, but I was just at the Mona Lisa in December or January. Oh, yeah. And it's like bang on. If you look at the artwork, there's the railing, the wallpaper's the same. I couldn't believe how good of a job Sam did.

That's amazing. Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam. We love it. Whose suit do you like better? Oh. Ooh. Pink or blue? I don't know.

They're both really nice. They're both very similar actually. They're both really nice. They're both very similar, actually. They're like the same cut. I don't know if this is an Easter egg, but it's a secret, I suppose. If Mitch Cherry were to do a Fox News twirl in that suit, you would see that there were fucking bulldog clips holding it back because he did not buy a new suit for the occasion. It was one from when he was 40 kilos heavier.

Oh, that's reduce, reuse, recycle. I know. Yes, that's right. Like I offered to buy him a new one because I fucking shouted myself on the QDO that pink suit. You did. We said, well, let's buy ourselves new outfits. I said, do you want a new one?

And you're like, oh, I've got one that should work. It's blue. And I said, perfect. It's a blue suit anyway. We didn't factor in that we need to bulldog clip it onto you. No, it wasn't even one from my bigger days. It was from like maybe eight weeks ago, but I'd lost more since. Yeah, right.

And it just was too stupid. Oh, wow. It was dumb. Oh, and do you like it. I think it's a nice new era, Emma. Yeah. It looks, it like looks so professional. I was very impressed. Thanks for the profession. Oh, well, thank you for noticing the Easter eggs. Well, obviously you are. Well, we lost you there. Oh, we lost you there. Are you there? Hello? Yeah. You're still there.

How professional we are as our audio equipment does. No, I think that's a running out of credit or something who knows yeah yeah call up dodo angry john and get some credit anyway emma while you can still hear us jenna will still be doing the price keeping stuff so she'll send you a little something to say thank you for coming on the podcast with us today beautiful love you darlin thank you for listening to this podcast and thank you for listening to trash alley i'll. I'll say it. Of course. Yeah, that's good. It needed the listen, so it's a nice thing to listen. Clearly not enough because it was cancelled by Spotify. Wow.

Thanks, Emma. Enjoy your weekend. See you. You too. Love you, darling. Bye. I don't know why I said weekend. It's not even anywhere near the weekend.

It's Monday. It's Monday. All right. She was such a cutie. Did I tell you that I got a comment on my Instagram from that photo shoot saying, babe, you really need to colour match your skin better. Your ears, face and neck are completely different colours. I saw that.

Am I blind? Because I can't see what she's talking about. Sorry, can I clarify? When I say I saw that, I saw the comment. I did not see it. I tried to look for it. Right? I was looking closely too and I was also like,

how the fuck does one alter the colour of their ears? I'm looking at it now. I think they were just being a bit of a bitch. Well, she did say, oh, not being rude, love you. I say this in a loving way, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But, yeah, I don't see what she's saying at all. I've got the only thing I can say I've got up in front of me is potentially both our chests are a different colour to our faces.

I tried so hard to put extra layers of fake tan on the chest, but I don't know why it just doesn't take there. Mine looks a little matchy. Mine needed a bit of work. This is so self-absorbed, but just sitting here looking at photos of ourselves on the podcast. It's my wallpaper on my phone, so it seems to look up. All right, let's go, Mitchell.

Sure, let's get out of here. Thanks for listening, idiots. You can leave us a five-star review. It really helps us in the algorithm. If you just tap five stars, if you haven't, it takes two seconds. You can do it on Spotify as well. Write one if you want on Apple. We got a really cute one the other day.

Can I read it? We used to read them out every episode. I know. I actually forgot that they were a thing. We encourage people to leave reviews every week. And then I was like, I should actually read them, shouldn't I? Yeah. Okay.

This is from Aussie Louise. Lovely. My hairdresser introduced me to this podcast on my last visit. Uh-huh. She said that she went to see Mitchell Coombs live. I said, who? She immediately got her phone out and showed me the Facebook groups and the podcast.

I can't get enough. Can't wait to go to bed and listen to the podcast. I laugh. I cry. I just love it. These guys are perfect together. The way they bounce off each other. And Jenna is the bonus. I'm only up to episode 30, so I have a long way to go. Brilliant. Well,. These guys are perfect together. The way they bounce off each other. And Jenna is the bonus.

I'm only up to episode 30, so I have a long way to go. Brilliant. Well, I hope you're still listening, Aussie Louise. Aussie Louise. And whoever the fuck your hairdresser is, tell her that I said thanks. Oh, I'd kill to know where Louise is from, though. What country? Good old word of mouth still works, huh?

Doesn't it ever? I wonder if her hairdresser's yours. Your cousin Tino, whatever his name is. Huh? Who's your hairdresser? Oh, Francesca. There's no fucking way he listens? Who's your hairdresser? Oh, Francesca. There's no fucking way he listens. He's so shit with technology.

Oh, okay. He went missing. He was the real Kate Middleton before Kate Middleton was around. He was for me. All right, we love you. Thanks for listening, idiots. We'll see you on Wednesday. Catch you soon, idiots. Bye.

Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it's not. We talk shit here. Just a couple of people with ADHD having a debrief.

Now, let me talk to you and debrief to you, Mitchell, about Orange in the inner west New South Wales. It's gorgeous. I love it. It really is, isn't it? At the time of my life. It's beautiful. I went berry picking.

I picked fresh berries. Fuck, that's the most Orange thing ever. Showing Mitchell photos. You should go in autumn. It's fucking gorgeous. It's even in the winter with like a town chapel. Nice. Yeah.

Did you go out or anything? Yeah, we did. We went to a bar on the main street of Orange called Hey Rosie. Oh, I've never even heard of that one. Then there's one that sounds like a slur. What? Cannibalist? The Ho.

That's just Hotel Orange, but everyone calls it The Ho. The Ho. Went to the Cannibalist as well. Yeah. Fuck, were you doing a pub crawl or something? We went there. It was never three nights. We had the pizza at somewhere.

We went to a beautiful place, I don't remember, for breakfast. All recommendations from idiots. I've got to say, thank you to the idiots that listened to the show that sent me recommendations for breakfast. I didn't realise we had so many orange idiots. We have a lot of orange idiots. Yeah, I loved it. And you know what I like?

I think I've come to learn that I love the cold and I love the rain. I can't wait. It was drizzly and it was cold and, like, you're cuddly and you're wearing sweaters and, like, you know, when you're in a new relationship, it's all that loved up. It was just, like, everything I needed. It was a beautiful weekend away. And I saw a sign that said Parks Forbes.

Yeah, there you go. On the Mitchell Highway, I believe. It is on the Mitchell Highway. And I said that to Steve and I'm like, do you think of me on this highway? He. Yeah, there you go. On the Mitchell Highway, I believe. It is on the Mitchell Highway. And I said that to Steve and I'm like, do you think of me on this highway? He's like, what? Self-obsessed. But yeah, it was a little on that roundabout, the left turn to Parks and Forbes. That's my hood.

Yeah. My old hood, I should say. Yeah. Well, so how far is Bougain Gate from Orange? Like an hour, hour and a half. Oh, nothing at all. Yeah. I think I'm making one more trip there before he comes home.

So maybe I'll message. Would Jane come meet me at Orange? In Orange? Yeah. I mean, I'm sure if you asked her nicely, but would you do the same for her? Absolutely. If she went to Orange and said, Mitch, meet me here. It's the halfway point.

Well, no. Actually, it's more than halfway, to be honest. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if she came to Sydney, I'd meet up with her. Last time I met up with Jane, it was a hoot. She threatened to kill me. Oh, well, go on.

See if she jumps at the offer. Maybe she will. I'll message her. How did her Apple Watch go or her Samsung Galaxy Watch? Because you messaged me. I jumped the gun. Why? Because my sister didn't come home for the birthday.

So we decided we'd all give it to her on Easter. So we haven't given it to her yet. So I hope she hasn't fucking listened. You mentioned on the show. I did. And I told her, do not listen to the most recent episode, please. Because I said we got her a smart watch. Yeah. But we haven't given it to her yet, so I hope she hasn't fucking listened. You mentioned on the show. I did, and I told her, do not listen to the most recent episode, please, because I said we got her a smart watch, but we haven't given it to her yet. If someone told me not to listen to an episode because it was a reveal of a gift,

I'd listen to that episode. I mean, she's dropped enough hints. She probably knows what she's getting. Totally. And 60th, it's a big birthday. What did I get my mum? Oh, we took her to fucking Hawaii. Oh, for fuck's sake.

No, but it's what she wanted. Wait, is she shit all over my present? If she wanted a Galaxy watch, we would have gotten her a Galaxy watch, but she wanted Hawaii. It was the worst trip of my life, anyway. Anyway. Anyway, doesn't it go to that. Can I admit something to you that happened at the Newcastle shows

that it's not even funny? I'm so embarrassed about it. Yeah, go. So, you know, I said that I misgendered someone. I thought that Hayley's partner was a man, and I said, oh, did you drag him along? To their face. Even though Britt is clearly a woman.

Yep. There was one moment where I interacted with someone at one of the shows, asked them their name, they told me, and their voice was a bit slurred and so I assumed, oh, someone's had a few drinks already. I love it. You're already drunk. Yeah, a bit of fun. And love it. You're already drunk. Yeah, a bit of fun.

And the friends that they were with sort of looked at me like, what do you call this, the cutthroat thing? Like, yeah, cutthroat. Like, yeah, cut it off. No, no. And then after a bit more back and forth, it became clear to me that they were not drunk and that wasn't the reason that their speech wasn't the clearest. And God, didn't I feel like a fucking asshole after that.

You would have felt like a real fool. Oh, my God. It was like Madonna's moment. On stage. Oh, yeah. Telling someone to get up and dance when they're in a wheelchair. Mitchell, she was in a stadium. How many rows was in this theatre?

Could you see them by the eye? Excuse me? Why aren't you on my side here? I was mortified. I've sided with you enough today. And I was really hoping that they were going to stick around after the show so I could apologise, but they didn't. If you happen to be listening

right now, I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said. It was wrong. I hope I didn't cause any embarrassment for you because I was fucking mortified with myself. Two bloody faux pars in one show, Mitchell. It's not like you. You're normally very on it.

It wasn't the same show, I don't think. Oh. But yeah. Oh, right, you did two shows. It would have been enough to throw me if I did it. I did three shows. Oh, far out. Yeah.

That was my first time ever doing two shows in one night. Oh, how did you go? You're telling me you were doing that. You'd never done it before. Well, I had a 6pm and then a 9pm a 9 p.m. And I coped just fine. Yeah. What did you do in between the two shows? That's when I was doing the meet and greet stuff, getting photos.

And then I had like maybe half an hour to prepare for the next show. And I was worried that I was going to do my usual and like have one too many rosés and then accidentally write myself off and then have to get back on fucking stage. I was fine. Yeah. I just got the non-alcoholic rosé. Yeah. And then the only drink I had between the shows was an espresso martini.

Oh, which is the perfect drink, I'd say. Oh, it was absolutely perfect. Wait, so what show was better, 6pm or 9pm? Depends on the way you look at it. Yeah. 9pm was more rowdy. That's good. I mean, people in the audience might not have noticed,

but because there were so many fucking people interrupting me, even though I encouraged the audience interaction, I was like, Jesus Christ, give them an inch. Yeah. There were so many people interrupting me that I kept losing my way and I did it all out of order by accident because they kept throwing me. And Oscar, because he's seen the show so many times, he knew that I was doing it in the wrong order.

I'm hoping that people there wouldn't have noticed because it was a smooth recovery for me. I'm a pro. No doubt. Oscar was like, no, you did a good job getting back on track, Took. It wasn't the right track, but you got back on it. You're on it. So I ended up doing it all out of order.

But it was probably fine, I'm sure. But I was a bit like, oh, fuck. Those things, when you're doing live stuff, like the audience don't know. They don't know what the original, unless they've seen the show a hundred times. Yeah, no one there had seen it. They're gone. Oh, good. So what are your next shows?

I don't know yet. There's a few TBC. Potentially Darwin. Potentially Dubbo. Potentially Sydney and Melbourne again. Darwin could be great. Because there's a bunch of people that didn't see Water Off A Duck's Clit in Sydney and Melbourne last year.

So I'm bringing it back. But also it's changed a lot since then. Is it the same name? Yep, Water Off A Duck's Clit still. But because I started in Sydney and Melbourne last year, a lot of things have changed along the way. So it's the new and improved deluxe edition of Water Off A Duck's Clit. Straight into a duck's pit. Improved deluxe edition of Water Off A Duck's Clit.

Straight into a duck's pit. I was thinking that my next show should be another idiom with a body part inserted. Yeah. You win cum, you lose cum. What about like barking up the wrong c**t? Aha, yes. That's very vulgar. You've got to struggle to promo that.

I don't think I can put the C word in the title. I might not get away with that. Fuck you. The ball's in your c**t. No use crying over f**ked milk. Oh, my God. The apple doesn't fall far from my c**t. That's shocking.

That is so bad. Oh, there's got to be more. Hang on. The apple of my eye. The apple of my... A lot of apple related ones with me. What about fuck on the bandwagon? Just like insert...

What's that? You know, like jump on the bandwagon. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah, that's an idiom. I'm trying to Google it. By the skin of my dick. That's good.

I like that. No skin of my dick. That's good. I like that. No skin off my flaps. Oh, no skin off my flaps. That's good. What is it meant to be? Skin of my teeth, which is a gross mental image. By the skin of my teeth. There's no skin on the teeth.

I think that must be the joke. Yeah, that's what they're getting at. All right, look, shall we go? We can't keep brainstorming. Oh, yeah, we may as well. I think we should, really. Hopefully. We'll see if Jen is back on Wednesday.

Potentially. If not. We'll be here always. Always. Yep. Steadfast. You know, neither of us have had a sickie for a while. You're right.

I've never had a sickie. I was just on holiday. No, you tapped one and then I forced you to take it off. No, that wasn't a sickie, though. That was a holiday. Oh, you're on holiday. You're in... And I still made an appearance.

You did make an appearance. For at least the first 10 minutes, so I can say that I've never been absent from that episode. You could have tapped out, but you wanted to be out. No, I could have. Yeah. A lot of people thought that Sean and I broke up on that New Zealand trip because remember I said to you,

oh, I'll explain why I've done a sudden getaway overseas. It will require a group therapy segment. Yeah, everyone thought it was. Everyone thought it was going to be a breakup and that's why I went overseas because I was so brokenhearted. That's not what I meant. I just meant that our therapist

was encouraging me to do more playful things. Yeah. The whole silly goose era. And that's why when my friend said, let's go overseas, I was like, yeah, fuck off. Fuck, I'm going. Let's go for it.

That's what I meant. I figured out later that's how the rumor started. Yeah, of course. You started it yourself. Didn't mean to. Yeah, we've not broken up. I'm going. Let's go for it. That's what I meant. I figured out later that's how the rumour started. Yeah, of course. You started it yourself. Didn't mean to. Yeah. We've not broken up.

I'm pregnant, in fact. Yeah. Congrats. Here's a Moscato. Anyway, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. So we do.

Thanks for listening, idiots. We'll see you very soon. Love you. Bye, bub. See ya. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
