People do some weird shit. Hello, I'm Tracey Grimshaw. Welcome to A Current Affair. Tonight, we're coming to you from my bedroom. Some things make more sense than others. Which Australian gymnast won Commodore Games gold in 1990 for his performance on the pommel horse? India. Hey, Marcus, grow up.

Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for. You are a cheap tramp and a filthy liar. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Do you reckon we should include Janet's name in the opener? How about a compromise? We'll say her name, but it's said in Simlish. Brayley!

Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Oh, my God, for the 200th time. Hello, you. Hello, you.

How's that for a blast from the past? God, I missed that opener. That was so much fun. That was our season two opener. Yeah. I thought we played the OG season one opener for the 100th episode. So that's the season two one. God, it fucking dragged on a bit. It was a little long word economy. It wasn't our strong

suit back in season two. It was funny though. What were the references? That was, who was that? It was Tracy Grimshaw working from home during COVID. Bless her. She struggled through that. She had her horses though. I've already forgotten. Hang on. I'm going to have to rewind. John Laws? No, it was Graham. Can I tell you, Graham Gilbert, who has frequented our segment

Talk Back to Things many times, I'm not sure if he's dead or alive. What do you mean? He's not on air anymore and there's no explanation for it. Oh, you're kidding. I went down a rabbit hole and I was Googling death notices and there's been a few Graham Gilberts die in the last three years. I don't know which one's him. Was he maybe taken up by the Me Too movement and we just didn't realise?

I don't know. I heard maybe he got dementia. Oh, God. A don't know which one's him. Was he maybe taken up by the Me Too movement and we just didn't realise? I don't know. I heard maybe he got dementia. Oh, God. A radio friend of mine told me that. Sorry to start the Bicentenary on such a sour note. That's really sad. It's not that it was sour. You know what I mean.

Thoughts to the Gilbert family if they listened, but that's very sad. I hope he's okay. Yes, he brought us a lot of laughs. He did. We swear we were laughing with him, not at him. What do you do when your friend Centenary wants to leave dinner? Bye, Centenary. Bye-bye.

200th episode. Congratulations, Mitchell. We made it. Cheers to that, Dale. And guess what? I've got bubbly. Do you? I do.

Oh, where is it? I brought a champagne. Here we are. Oh, Shandine. I'm a bit scared to open it because I've got all the buttons and the tech over here. So could you do the honors? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, Pricekeeper Jenna, you're in between us.

Hello, Jenna. She made it. She made it. I'm here. Welcome, Jenna. the honors? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, Pricekeeper Jenna, you're in between us. Hello, Jenna. She made it. She made it. I'm here. Welcome, Jenna. Thank you. I'll get some glasses. We should actually tally out of all the 200 episodes we've done, how many Jenna's been

there for. Maybe this is my 100th. I actually think at this rate it probably is. Let's pop this in celebration. Just careful. I'm worried it's been shaken up a bit. It fell over in the fridge. Fucking hell.

Yeah. Happy 200th. All right, here a bit. It fell over in the fridge. Fucking hell. Yeah. Happy 200 years. All right, here we go. Three, two, one. Oh! Hey, oh, it's going everywhere. I knew it. My iPhone.

I don't care about you, Jenna. I'm going to have to clean that couch later. It doesn't matter. Oh, no. Congratulations on 200 episodes. I'm covered in shandong. We've made a mess. Jenna, why did you wail like that? I was scared. I'm covered in shandong. We've made a mess. Jenna, why did

you wail like that? I was scared. I'm getting some paper towel. I don't have any. You just have to

get a tea towel. What kind of house is this? You've got Q-tips under the kitchen table. Toilet paper.

Some toilet roll. You can do that. I don't buy paper towel. I think it's a waste.

Oh, really? Wow. We do them on the fly. I've got a few tea towels on rotation that I use

for wiping and I separate them from the ones that I use got a few tea towels on rotation that I use for wiping, and I separate them from the ones that I use to wipe dishes. What do you do when Sean finishes all over your chest? Well, I've got wanker cheeks for that. Jenna, do you want one? Yes, in celebration of my 100th. God, I wish if anyone of our idiots are planning to re-listen to this series from start to finish, because I know some people do that when we take breaks over Christmas or whatever.

They just start from the beginning. Please do a tally of how many episodes Jenna's been here for. I reckon we might be surprised. You've probably done like 170. Yeah, maybe. All right, you done? Yep. Here we go.

Excuse me. Why do you do this every time? Sorry, because I get freaked out by the- I can't keep making the same joke. The tide's out, doll. Give me a bull-bust. I get freaked out by the head. You get freaked out by the head? Where does head ever concern you? There we go. Nice and full. Cheers, chooks.

Cheers. Cheers. Congratulations. Cheers. Cheers, everyone. Now, as you know, idiots, whenever we've got some sort of special occasion episode or anniversary or what have you, we like to do a Q&A. And so that's what we're dedicating today's episode to. We've got a bunch of burning questions.

Some of them are anonymous. Some of them aren't even questions. They're just flat-out hate mail. Cowards. But also, if it is your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Welcome. You've got 200 episodes to binge to catch up if this is your first. Every episode for 200 episodes.

We've started the exact same way without fail with an Is It Just Me? I actually don't think there's been an episode without one. I think there was once. Was there? And we did get complaints saying it just felt wrong. What do we do? It was when you were at home with COVID. Jenna and I were in the studio and we were going to start with a caller.

Yes. And we just couldn't figure out a way because we were in separate studios. We could not figure out a way to get the phone line to work with all three of us. Either you couldn't hear them, they couldn't hear you, we couldn't hear you. We just couldn't get it to work, so we just didn't do an itch-em. We said fuck it. And people were like, that's fucking wrong.

Really? That just feels incorrect. Yeah, I think I do remember that, actually. I don't remember that at all. No, you probably didn't turn up. I swear you were there that time. Fuck, we've had a long time. Well, that's how we start every episode with Is It Just Me?

Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I do not know Mitch's. That's quite simple. That's the premise of the whole thing. Are you going to go first? Yeah, I can go first. Why not?

Sure, let's go. Your 200th idjim. I just have to double check that because you've been away for a couple of times. It's also not. We've also done idjims on the fly. We can't get counting idjims. Yeah, fuck. You couldn't count them.

Jesus Christ. All right. Well, let's just not fuck about. Just do it. One of our many idjims. Bradley, fuck, you couldn't count them. Jesus Christ. All right, well, let's just not fuck about. Just do it. One of our many idjams. Bradley, go for it for the 200-somethingth time. Is it just me or? Are you just loving Denise Drysdale, Ding Dong Denise,

on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here? Oh, is she still on it? No, she got eliminated at time of recording this week, sadly. Oh, bugger, because I thought she would have tapped out earlier. I have always cherished Denise Drysdale. Yeah, Denise Drysdale, for the international listeners, is an Australian TV veteran. She's in her 70s and she's on I'm a Celebrity,

Get Me Out of Here this season, which is currently. Oldest contestant, I think, ever. In the whole franchise. She's the oldest contestant. And that really surprised me that she would agree to that. She just does not like being uncomfortable. Yeah, well, she was the first out, so I have a feeling. Oh, really? Yeah, and also Studio 10 was

axed, the show she was on. So was Tristan McManus, who was the host of it. He's on it, so is she. I almost feel like it's a contractual thing for Channel 10 to be like, hey, you want to keep getting paid? They're like, oh, we've got to get them to do something. We signed them for a year. And she was also the first out, conveniently, so I feel like it was in her contract to come

in for a week and go a week later. And she didn't come in with everyone else. Yeah, she came in too. She was an intruder. Yeah. Yeah. I just love Denise Drysdale. I discovered her when she was on The Circle.

Oh, my God. I think she did a year or two on The Circle, which was like Studio 10 before Studio 10. It was like the Australian version of The View. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, no, not really The View. No? It was – I don't even know what you compare it to, Jenna.

What would you say The Circle was? I would say similar to The View. But less like arguing. It was more just a bunch of mums hanging out, having fun. Yeah, there were four women on a round table, right? Yeah, at one point there was a man there too. Circle. Yeah, it was a circle.

It was actually, I remember this because I'm such a little TV nerd. I remember their couch was a semi-circle and The View was complete The Circle. Oh, that's quite sweet. You would have loved that show. Oh, it is so my cup of fucking tea, isn't it, the circle? Totally, totally. Chrissy Swann, Denise Rysdale. Oh, beautiful.

Yumi Steins. Yumi Steins. Yeah. Georgie Coghlan. Loved them. Totally. And then obviously the circle wrapped up and they brought her on board Studio 10 to job share with Ida Buttrev.

Wow. Oh, yes. Because she wanted to cut down to two day of the week. Right. And Denise did the remaining three. Right. So they needed, what, two elderly white women of power to come on the show. Wow. Yes. Because she wanted to cut down to two day of the week. Right. And Denise did the remaining three. Right. So they needed, what, two elderly white women of power to come on the show. Yeah.

And then Ida left altogether and they brought in Denise Scott. So it was like the rotating Denise's. Denise I. Totally. Yes, it was. Now, is this true? My favourite piece of Australian celebrity lore is the fight that Denise Drysdale had with Ida Buttrose, which involves a Brussels sprout being thrown at someone's head. Yeah, apparently that was a big part of why Ida Buttrose left.

What happened? Because they were filming some fun Christmas promo and there was Brussels sprouts there as a prop. And Denise started throwing Brussels sprouts at Ida Buttrose. And Ida Buttrose is such a lady. And she thought that was so atrocious, that behaviour. Got she resigned apparently she did not take it lightly well she got hit with the head with a fucking brussels sprout so she took it about three grams when you think about it they could have been hot and oily they could have been yeah that would have pissed me off yeah the only thing I've watched so far of Denise in the I'm a Celeb jungle is her getting her head massaged

by Callum Hall which is his name yeah right um I think I've Googled that a few times, actually. And it's hilarious. She's being massaged by this 25-year-old British boy. And she's just moaning and groaning, going, harder, harder. Do it harder. I love the way she speaks. I hope to be Denise when I grow up. Oh, you will be.

100%. If she doesn't say here, she says, hey-ya. Oh, she's so Aussie. I love her. Anyway, I'm just really enjoying it. I thought you would love it too, Mitchell, she's so Aussie. I love her. Anyway, I'm just really enjoying it. I thought you would love it too, Mitchell. It's so Aussie. I've seen bits and pieces online.

I'm not watching it for Denise, but like I'm already a fan. I don't need to be converted. Yeah, it's fantastic. I've worked with her a couple of times. Have you? Oh, you did that video. Oh, yeah. I've done two things with her.

One of them, I think this is still on my YouTube channel, if you're fucking curious enough to go for a dig. It was me teaching her how to use a Google Home. Yes. Because she is so hopeless with technology. Doesn't even – her producer told me that all she knows how to do is just call him. She can't text. So, I did a video teaching her how to use a Google Home.

Hilarious. Loved it. And then Studio 10 got us to do a thing on air for Australia Day, which I – don't go look that up. On the nose, yeah. Because, yeah. us to do a thing on air for Australia Day, which I don't go look that up because, yeah, it was on the cusp of like, do I agree to this? Because Australia Day doesn't have the same fucking vibe about it as it used to.

People are frowning upon it like they should. But then I was like, I can't say no to working with Denise Drysdale. No, of course. We went to the International Cruise Ship Terminal, whatever it's called, and like quizzed tourists on Aussie slang. Oh. So lame. But I got to work with Denise and it was fun. Totally. like quizzed tourists on Aussie slang. Oh. So lame. But I got to work with Denise and it was fun. We loved it.

Totally, yeah, move on. Aussie day. You might notice if you do end up finding it and wanting to watch it that at one point she just fucks off and I'm having to do the rest solo because apparently she just thought it was too hot. She goes, nah, it's too hot for me. She hailed a taxi as it drove past, went back to the hotel, didn't even tell the cameraman or producer.

She just left. And they said to me, where's Denise? I said, she left. So did you film it on your own? Not to do the rest by myself. That's fucking funny. What an icon. I know. Denise Drysdale.

God love her. No, she's a hoot. Ding dong, Drysdale. Anyway, give it a watch, guys. Not a plug, but it's very fun. All right. Well, that's my agent. Okay.

You ready for mine? Yeah. Bradley, count me in, please, Chook. Is it just me or? Did you also bring gifts to give each other today? Why? It's a celebration. I just thought I'd bring gifts for you.

No, your birthday's in July. No, Mitchell, we know your birthday is. No, the 200th episode. No. It's not about my birthday. It's the 200th episode. I thought I'd get presents for you both. Did you actually do presents?

Yes, I did. No, Mitchell. Oh, no. Oh, my God. No, no. I figured it's much. I figured. That's the 200th episode. I thought I'd get presents for you both. Did you actually do presents? Yes, I did. No, Mitchell. Oh no. Oh my God. No, no. I figured it's much. I figured. That's fine. Okay, this is, you can't do this because now the audience are like, they're so awful to him. They're awful to him. There's not one part of you that probably thought to bring a gift, so I get that.

No. But I just thought this would be cute. You ready for this? Wait, so you've got gifts? I love the way you can't say gifts. It's so funny. Gifts. What are you saying? Gifts. Oh, what, like a little moving image?

You're saying gifts. G-I-F-T-S. Gifts. Gifts. We'll unpack that later. Oh, we don't have time to. If you've got gifts, I'm going to be pissed. That was better.

Piffed. I'm going to be real piffed. Okay, so for you, Jenna. Oh, my God. I knew that we were going to be recording at my house today. Put down the shoes. And historically, every time we're recording here, you bitch and moan about, can we get food?

So I thought I can't have Genevieve going hungry here. This is for you. Oh, my God. It's a brown paper bag. Yep. Open her up. I guess if she feels like sharing, it's for all of us. But that's up to her.

Whatever the fuck it is. Here we go. Let's see. Oh, the little cupcakes. Oh, my goodness. From the Cupcake Factory. Oh, is that sponsored? Did you pay for them on the kitty?

I did pay for it because I fucking love that joint. It's in Des Moines. Is it? I used to go there all the time. They're so good. Show me, Jenna. Can I see? Look how cute.

So that's for you, Jenna. Oh, the Look how cute. So that's for you, Jenna. Oh, the cupcake factory. So that's for you, Jenna, and for you, Cherry. Yeah. Oh, God, what's this? I love it. I bet my gift is a lesson. Just my fucking luck.

A lesson in what? I don't know. I'm always taught lessons. Some sort of moral. Well, I believe that the moral is that I'm just so fucking thoughtful Because I guess this gift falls more under acts of service Oh, which is my kink, I love that Do you?

Yeah, I did a love language test with Stephen the other day I thought you were more of a words of affirmation type I'm actually all of them You're that needy You're just so needy Just give me any love Sorry Okay, well what I've done for you is I've You're that needy. You're just so needy. Just give me any laugh. Sorry.

Okay, well, what I've done for you is because as our idiots know, especially the ones that have been listening since day one, as they know, you fucking love a sound effect. I do love a sound effect. They get mixed reviews. Some people are team cooms and they think, fuck, that's annoying. Stop it. Some people are like, this is hilarious. The majority.

I do like the sound effects when they're, you know, well placed, like they're relevant and they're funny, part of the gag. No, I like them. I like when they're random. Completely good. Like, no, I hate that. The horse whinny, yeah. I hate that.

Oh, people love them. People love them. The podcast board love them. If they contribute to the show, I love a sound effect. But if I'm bearing my deepest thoughts and feelings and you play a fucking horse whinny, and I'm like, that's a bit disruptive. I can read the room. To your credit, you've gotten way better at that.

Thank you. The early days, I was like, fuck me. This is like a kid on Red Cordial. The early days, I just wouldn't listen. I really wouldn't. You'd be like, this is my body dysmorphia, and I'd just play a helicopter flying off in the sunset. Okay, so what I've done for you, because with our studio upgrade, we had to leave the old studio

behind. We did. Which means you had to bid farewell to the sound effects library and start from scratch. And I realised that the sound effects are now missing. It's a bit trickier in the new studio. It's hard and I have felt the void, yeah. Yeah. And so even I felt the show was a bit fucking naked without them.

I don't know if you noticed I edited some in last week because I was like, it feels wrong not having any. I did notice that. And so what I've done for you, because I know it brings you joy, is I've built a new sound effects library on my laptop. Because I figured you've got enough on your plate, you're not going to build them from scratch. So you've got a brand new sound effects library to play with.

Oh, my God. Jenna, could you pass him the laptop, please? I would love to. This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. Especially because I hate them. Totally. Mitchell. Here you go.

Here we go. Thank you. Oh, my God. So for one day and one day only. Yeah. Just for old time's sake. Yeah. As we celebrate our bicentenary.

You have fucking full support to go as feral as you like on the sound effects. How feral? Are we talking like this feral? Yep. Oh, my God. This is so exciting. Wait, wait, Mitchell, an earthquake on our bicentenary. That triggers me.

That triggers you and, of course, the sea. The dolphins are fretting. See, I've got the same dolphins. Calm down. Sorry. What else? So there's a few old favourites on there. Yeah, of course.

Some familiar ones, but I've also thrown in some wild cards for you. Oh, there's some really good stuff in here. Sorry, we just sold another mug. Don't laugh too hard, you dropped your champagne. Shit. Look at how his eyes have lit up. They really have. So much fun.

I really love this. There's one that I think you'll really enjoy. Yeah, there's so many. I'm literally so excited. There's one that's called Coombs Frankenbite. Yeah, yeah, let me find this. Which is like Kardashian style where you stitch together a few different words and sentences to form a sentence.

Have I done that or have you done that before? No, I've done that for you. Oh, okay. Let me have a hot one. Sorry, slip of the finger. Here we go. This is the Coombs Frankenbite. Yes.

All right. God, I'm sitting up. I'm excited. This is a great gift, Mitchell. All right, here we go. Oh, yeah. Cheery is way better than me. You can use that whenever you damn well please.

Oh, my God. What has happened to you? That is good. Have you freshly been to therapy or something. Oh, my God. What has happened to you? That is good. Have you freshly been to therapy or something? Oh, I still go to therapy, yeah. No, but clearly this is such a thoughtful gift. Thank you. I was thinking you'd be like, oh, it's not a real present.

I can't take it home. No, this is incredible. I'm glad you see the gesture. Oh, my God, I do. Jenny, why don't you try one of your cupcakes? Oh, I would love to. And let us know what you think of it. So I don't think you should go super feral now, but also I can't police it.

No. Just surprise us with shit throughout the show. Totally. Here, Jen is opening her cupcakes. She's choosing. Oh, sorry. It's fine. It's an audio medium, so if you could just choose one.

Okay, I'm choosing one now. I've played with my sound effects, so you try it. Actually, Chira, you know how you sometimes play hold music to kill time? Yeah. I couldn't find the exact hold music that you usually use, but I've chosen a different track. I hope you like it. Oh, you've updated it?

Yeah. So while Jenna's fucking about with the cupcakes. Yeah, okay. So we'll put the show on hold. Sorry. Oh. Oh, my. Oh, now we're going to have to pay for the rights to use that song.

Oh, we're fucking screwed. There we go. Yeah, all paid for. You're welcome, Black Eyed Peas. Oh, Jenna's tried the cupcake. to pay for the rights to use that song. Oh, we're fucking screwed. There we go. You're welcome, Black Eyed Peas. Oh, Jenna's tried the cupcake. It's just delicious. Is it nice? Jenna, that's disgusting. That was the distressed burp from Will It Blend last week.

Oh, is that what it was? Do you know how many times I've replayed just the distressed burp? I find it so funny. Go. I was so worried. There should be a Jenna sound effect on there too. Yeah, no, Jenna, have another bite of the cupcake. I get another one? Yeah.

Well, they're yours. Okay, she's trying it. Oh. This is a Jenna whimper slash sex noise, depending on how you look at it. Mitchell, this is so very thoughtful of you. Oh, I'm glad you like it. It's genuinely so kind and I'm touched. What are some other random ones that I've caught on there?

A zipper. Did you get the horse? No, I didn't even think of that. Oh, no. But I've got a baby camel. Why would you think to put a baby camel on there? I don't know. Oh, wait, maybe I'll go Oreo.

Yeah, have a go. Can I have one, please? Yes. Thank you so much. Have your vanilla one. Yeah, I just don't think we should all eat at the same time. How have we not learnt our lesson after 200 episodes? 200 episodes, I know.

We're all sitting here eating into the microphone. Okay, we won't do it. Oh, sorry about that. I even brought back the live tweet. We just got a live tweet. Who is it? Congratulations on the 200th episode. Oh, that's so nice.

Prince Andrew. Oh, shit. Oh, that's such a shame. Block. No. Can we block? Yeah, block. I don't have the block button.

Is it just me? You should follow these idiots online. Search couple of Mitches. Right, so as it is our bicentenary episode, our 200th episode of Is It Just Me, we thought we're going to throw the rules out and we're not going to do a standard episode. Cheers to that. Cheers to that.

Cheers, Jenna. Cheers to you as well. Cheers. We're doing a Q&A for the rest of the episode. We've done Q&As on our big milestone episodes before. Exactly. And we got a fucking lot this time because like last time, we gave you the option to make it anonymous, so people got a little bit dreadfully honest

because they weren't putting their name to it. If you didn't get a question in in time and you're listening right now, I'm going to pop a link in the episode description where you can keep sending the questions. So next time we do a Q&A, we'll get to that question. We've actually got a few here left over from last time that people sent in later. Can I say the hide on some of these listeners? The stark contrast between the questions asked on Instagram compared to the anonymous questions, chalk and cheese.

People are so brazen when it's anonymous. Why don't we start with the hate comments, actually, and then we'll get to the gorgeous, thoughtful questions. Sure, go for it. So, anonymous, of course, aka coward, said, never heard anyone let go so many fake laughs like Jenna.

It's actually unbearable how do they know i was about to jump to your defense and say no no they're not fake she actually just does laugh a lot in real life not just on the podcast that's the reason we have you on the show you're a laugh track i remember i remember in year six i was voted the person who laughs the most at anything really like i would laugh at everything. They'd go, plant. And I'd be like. And people like you are a blessing at a comedy show. Because if I'm bombing hard, you'll laugh anyway.

Yeah, I will. Also, I don't think you fake laugh. You've got no need to. No. I don't have any need to. Another anonymous one. I remember when the show was actually funny. Now it's just bragging about weight loss and doing anal.

I don't believe I've bragged about either of those. To be fair. That feels targeted. To be fair, since the show started, we've always been doing anal. Including Jenna. Totally. Yeah. Fuck off.

God, people are annoying. Oh, sorry. I accidentally tapped the earthquake. That was a joke. I accidentally tapped the earthquake. I had a joke. I accidentally tapped the earthquake. I had no idea what was happening there. I'm so sorry. Shut up.

Say it to our face next time, prick. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Okay, this one's for you, Churi. Does Churi ever – actually, no, I'm not going to lead with that. Oh, you can. It's not very nice. Do you want to hear this one?

Yeah, I don't mind. Okay, I'm kind of just not filtering them. I'm just going through them. It's fine. Does Churi feel like his weight loss was a blow for big boy representation in media? Because I sure do. Oh, I mean, definitely not. A, I'm still 120 kilos.

I'm still a big boy. And I'm definitely not thin by any definition. Absolutely not. No, I don't. Fair enough. There we go. We'll leave that at that. I'm not a stick.

Another one for you, Chiri. Can Chiri's new man drive or is he dating another freeloader? Oh, my God. These are brutal. We're being roasted on our bicentenary. I don't think that was the roast towards you. No, not a roast. It was a roast towards you-know-who.

He can drive. Yes. He can drive. What a blessing. He can drive and he can actually – well, he's on his green piece, so he does take a while. He drives at 90 kilometres an hour. It's his max speed.

I thought you were allowed to go 100 on the green. I'm not quite sure, to be honest. But sometimes I might take the P plates off if we're going. I just, you know. No, that's not how it works. I know, but I'm like, I'll pay the fine. I've got big boy money, you know. What's wrong with a P plate?

Grow up. No, I know, but it's just the perception of me getting in a P-plate car. I actually felt really naked when I got my full licence and I didn't have a P-plate on my car. Really? It took me a while to accept that that was the new normal. I was like, oh, I forgot my plate. Oh, wait, I don't need one.

You've got so many points now. You've got 13 demerit points to play with. I don't have that many left. Can I say, coming from a partner that didn't drive to a partner that can, oh, my gosh. No wonder you're back on the booze. You've got a deso. I know.

I do. No, he can't drive. He can't drink and drive. That's why I said deso. Oh, you're right. Yes. I'm not suggesting he drinks and drives. No, no, no.

That's not what I meant at all. Nobody should drink and drive. Thank you, Jenna. Well said. Well said. All right. Next question. Marley says, this is for you, Jenna.

I dare Jenna to participate in her own will it segment with an idea of her own oh i don't have any ideas i'm sure if you thought about it you could we've done will it block will it blend what else is there um that requires a lot of preparation from jenna yeah will it kill only once will it kill what Only once. Will it kill? What do you mean? I don't know. She trials different weapons, yes. What do you mean? You just bring in different varieties of – I hold a fork and put it in a microwave and – Oh, as if that would kill you.

You bath with a toaster and if you survive, you try another – no, that's fucked. Why would you even – You can do that on your own podcast, Jenny. I don't think we want to bring that to this show. Keep that for the cat one, please. Yeah, yeah. Harry asks, how does the show today compare with how you envisioned it at the start?

Oh, it's completely different. Yes, it's more chaotic than I expected it would be. I thought, oh, well, with Cheery's broadcast background, with my podcast experience and the training I've done at the radio school, it's going to be so slick and polished. It'll never be rogue. Can I say, we're actually very slick and polished. The show runs as live, really.

Yeah, I suppose that's true. We are slick, but we didn't envision it. Oh, God. See, that's just going to stay in because that's how raw we are. Totally. I didn't picture it to be anything, really. It is what it is. Yeah, I don't remember what I expected it to be, but I thought it was going to stay in because that's how raw we are. Totally. I didn't picture it to be anything really. It is what it is. Yeah, I don't remember what I expected it to be,

but I thought it was going to be very polished basically, which I suppose it is in a way, but also we get a bit loose, which suits me just fine. Yeah, and half the fun of like a podcast and any creative project is it ending up being something completely different to what you thought it was going to be. Yeah, that's true. Ty asks, out of all the episodes, which one is your favourite

and which one makes you cringe, if any? Oh, my God. I'll take this one to start. The first episode I can't listen to. Any of the first probably 30 episodes I don't want to listen to. There's like moments within those episodes that are fine, but I couldn't listen to a full episode because I feel like I was just, I don't know, I find myself really annoying back then.

I feel like I'm a bit more relaxed now. I agree. We were trying very hard in the early days. But we didn't know we were trying hard. Like we weren't actively trying hard. It just came across that way. And in hindsight, I'm like, oh, shut up, Mitchell. Yeah, but we weren't trying hard in order to be better than anyone.

We were trying hard because we genuinely wanted to make a good podcast. Yeah. We wanted to put content out into the world that we were proud of. But now I think we just don't give a shit. Oh, I still give a shit. Oh, you do. But I've just relaxed a lot more into it, I think. Totally, yeah.

My favourite episode was the coffin one. That's true. That's often, I think I've said before, if people ask what's a good one to start with, I usually start with that. Yeah. Because not only was Janie in a coffin, but like the rest of the content was strong, I reckon. If I do say so myself. It was a strong episode.

There was also me in the bin. Yeah, that was a good one. In the straitjacket. I liked the straitjacket. Yeah, that was good. We've really eased up on the torment towards it. Yeah, I know. I know.

No, actually, I got a DM recently saying, it's been a while since you've gaslit Jenna. Yeah, after. And I was like, I gaslight her every day, but she just doesn't know and I don't make a spectacle of it. Totally. We do plenty of it, just not recorded. No. It's just my life.

It's just not on the show. No. This is for you, Jenna. Anne wants to know, Jenna, fuck, marry, kill. Coombs, Thierry and Oscar. Oh. Oh, okay. Be honest. Oh, no. Oh, that's – the kill one's hard. It, okay. Be honest.

Oh, the kill one's hard. It's not. You literally just, the only idea you have. I think about the one who's not here to defend himself. Oh, no, I couldn't do that to Oscar. I'd rather do it to one of you. All right, who? Who would you rather have sweaty sex with?

Probably Oscar. Oh, wow. So one of us are dying. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't do Oscar. Oh, wow. So one of us are dying. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't do that. Oh, that means I'm going to die because you're more marriage material. Oh, it was actually the opposite. But now thinking about it, I'll marry you and I'll kill you.

Okay. Okay, great. So it's an audio medium, 200 episodes. She hasn't learned. That was me. When you say you, no one understands. Yeah. She pointed towards me for marriage, everyone, so I'm getting married.

That's fine by me. I don't know who I would choose if it was reverse, like fuck, marry, kill, cheery Jenna Oscar. I couldn't marry Jenna because our cats wouldn't get along. How do you know that? Because Isabella doesn't like other animals. You'd have to kill. You'd have to kill Jenna.

Why? I don't know. You'd have to kill cheery. I think I'd have to marry cheery. Yeah, don't know. You'd have to kill Churi. I think I'd have to marry Churi. Yeah, that checks out. Because I couldn't marry Oscar. I'm going to kill Churi. You can't flip-flop.

You've already killed Mitchell, so now we're both dead. I'd kill Jenna only because she wouldn't put up a fight. Yes, I would. And she'd be reincarnated. It's fine. Oh, my God, that's so true. But, Jenna, that means by marrying me, we'd have to have sex often. Now that we're talking about this, this is all ringing a bell.

I think we've had this question before, but it might have been Sam instead of Oscar. Oh, no, I'd rail Sam in a heartbeat. That's a different story. Next question, anonymous. I need to know how Coombs actually covers rent. Doing what? Dinnily ads? Oh, God, that's so good.

Yeah. That's rough. I mean, you don't have to worry about me, darling. I'm not behind on rent payments. I'm doing just fine. And it's not just dinnily ads. Thank you. But you, that airborne you've been flogging.

The what? The airborne. You know, the pyramid scheme stuff. Imagine if Mitchell was just in it. The Avon I've been door knockingging. The what? The airborne. You know, the pyramid scheme stuff. Imagine if Mitchell was just in it. The Avon I've been door knocking. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah.

Another anonymous one. Oh, fuck these anonymous ones. Who removed swearing from the Idjim group chat? I don't reckon you would even know a thing about this, Cherry. No, I haven't. So, you know how there's the Facebook group, Enduring Idiots? Yeah. And then within that group, they've created a community chat to go alongside the group i created the chat yeah

so there's like a messenger conversation that happens yes i don't know how to change the settings but for some reason you cannot swear in that group chat and god bless our idiots they can't have a conversation without swearing they've created an unsanctioned group chat of their own and it's called is It Just Fucking Me? You're kidding. Yeah. Oh, sorry. No, I'm not kidding.

Let me have a look. Hold on. So if you go to the Is It Just Me community chat now, just write ****. Okay. But I'm like their god in this chat, aren't I? It won't send. I'm telling you.

It sent. What? I wrote **** and sent it. Is this a prank? No, because it doesn't work for anyone else. No, maybe because you created it. I'm their god. Quick, send a voice message to the group so everyone knows why you said that.

Wait, Jenna, can you see c**t? Wait, let me see. Yeah, she says to undo a zip. Oh, my God. I can see it. What? You guys have set me up. No, I'm not kidding.

Oh, someone says, are you exercising your right to swear unlike the rest of us? Wait, let me try. Let me try writing it and see what happens. Because I've never tried. It was Oscar that showed me. Jenna can write. Mitchell, you've got to test it. My phone's up there filming.

I can't use it. Oh, it's all right. Okay, Jenna, I think you should do a groveling apology. Okay. And just explain. Sorry, we were talking about how we're not allowed to swear. We tried to test it. Okay.

Hi, everyone. We're just recording the podcast and we were testing whether we can swear in the group chat. And it looks like we can. I didn't think it would send. I'm so sorry. Yeah, we're really sorry. It wasn't meant for you. We love you.

Bye. See ya. There we go. Well, that's interesting. Why are we allowed to swear at our podcast community, but they're not allowed to swear at us? I have no idea. But what? Is it because we made it and we're admins? Must be. But even as an admin, I try to change the settings. It just, it won't work. Okay. Well, that's all right.

Okay. Well, I'll move on to the next question. Speaking of, actually, the C word. Yep. Anonymous asks, why and when did the word start getting beeped? I swear it never used to be. Oh, this is a you thing. You're the editor. getting beeped. I swear it never used to be. Oh, this is a you thing. You're the editor. Yeah. So, it actually was more of a case of I heard other podcasts beep the C word and I thought, yeah, it probably is a bit much. I don't want to say on the record, I've never said the C word on this podcast unbeaped. I may have, but somewhere along the line, I made a conscious effort not to say the C word. I don't say it in videos.

I don't say it on the podcast. I fucking say it at comedy shows. Totally, yeah. And I say it in real life. It's my favourite. Yeah. But, yeah, I think in the early days there might be a few C-bombs that you let slip and I didn't beep, but then it was only in the last year

or two that I started beeping them because I was like, it's a bit much, isn't it? Are you beeping it with our idjim beep, which of course is... Because don't forget that is our idjim bleep. No, because I actually thought you would have forgotten about that. No, of course I've not forgotten about that. I've added that to your sound effects. We were talking about let's ditch the traditional, this one.

Let's ditch the traditional beep and instead we'll use this. Jenna, how dare you speak to me like that? No, we're not. We're leaving that in just to ruin your career because Jenna wants to work in law. She's going to fuck you up. So it was sort of a recent thing that I started beeping it just because I thought.

I didn't know that. It also kind of makes it more camp. It adds to the drama. I agree. Like the beat makes it so much more dramatic. I'm with you. I'm with you. Keep bleeping.

Keep on bleeping. Just dropping C-bombs is a bit much. Yeah. Especially for you because you're trying to be a priest one day, I'm sure. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'm studying you. I'm with you. Keep bleeping. Keep on bleeping. Just dropping C-bombs is a bit much. Yeah. Especially for you because you're trying to be a priest one day, I'm sure. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'm studying, yeah. Coombs, what is your favourite memory thus far with dating Sean? Oh, this is cute.

I think the Uluru trip is a standout. We were talking about this. On Monday, yeah. In the last episode, yeah. Yeah, the Uluru trip was gorgeous. I just loved it. Because we also did like the – we got a hire car in Alice Springs, the five-hour drive in the last episode, yeah. Yeah, the Uluru trip was gorgeous. I just loved it. Because we also did like the – we got a hire car in Alice Springs, the five-hour drive in the middle of fucking nowhere was memorable.

But also just like seeing him with my nieces and nephews is so cute. That's so sweet. They like him more than me. I don't mind because he's really good with them. And recently Eleanor called him Uncle Sean and he got a bit teary. Just those warm, fuzzy moments. It's very cute. Totally.

And then I'm sure the sex in Uluru was nice. We didn't actually root in Uluru. You're kidding. I was furious because- You wanted it. Yeah. And I hope he doesn't mind me telling the story, but I had to have a conversation the next day and I said,

I think we need to start putting boundaries about how much Wentworth we watch because it's affecting our sex life. Oh, you told me this off the show. We would literally watch Wentworth because we were obsessed with it and I'd be like, are you sure you want to put one more episode on or should we head to bed now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'd be like, no, put another one on.

I'm like, fuck it, Elle, and then he'd fall asleep in front of the TV every time and I'm like, well, now what? Maybe you need to – here's an idea, keep it prison themed, shake up the bedroom and make it Wentworth themed. What, I just gang him with a broom? No, no, no, no, I'm thinking more conjugal visit, not shanking with a fork attached to a spoon. Speaking of relationships, what happened with Cheery and Hayden,

anonymous asks. I feel like I'm being teased but never explained Well, it's not your place to know Yeah But, you know, everyone wants to know So I'll now tell it for the first time What happened with Hayden and I? Ah, no

I'm not going to do it That's ridiculous Brilliant use of the record, Scott Thank you so much That was good No, it's just personal It's been a year in a couple of days Out of respect for him and out of respect for myself,

I'm not going to go into it. I've also based it. I've given like 90% of the story. It's just very personal. You've actually given 100% of the story that I've had to cut out later. Because when we're recording, when we record, you get real brave, you get real lippy, and then I have to say to you later, do you want to leave this in?

And you're like, oh, actually, better not. I do, I do. So thank God I'm here. I'm also at that point where I look back on, like, we were together for five years and, like, genuinely, like four and a half of that were amazing, like really good, and it was my first genuine love. So, like, I'm trying to remember that and have that.

Yeah, of course. Because it was so good and it taught me so much about myself and about how to love and he was great and I was great. So I just want that to be the memory. But it wasn't nice in the end. You guys know what happened. But I just don't think it's right to talk about it. But I did go through Hayden's and I found really large.

It was actually smaller than and I cried. I just told you all. Moving on. One for you, Jenna. Sarah, not anonymous. Sarah wants to know, has Jenna gotten her bloody license yet? Well, I'm still on my L's, but they expire in a couple of months. Jesus Christ.

A couple of months. We could do this. I know. There's no minimum hours for you. We just need to get you ready for the test. Yes, that's true. You know that ever since we taught you to drive, which was fucking two or three years ago, I've still got the L plates down the side bit of my passenger seat

in the car because I was like, we'll do this often. We'll drive home from the studio and you can drive. I'll supervise. Nah, never happened again. Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you for apologising. Yeah. No, thank you for letting me know.

Yeah. Well, after you had that manslaughter incident, I just want Jenna to get her licence so then I can take points, you can take points for me. Of course. I pay very well. Wink, wink. I mean, joking, all jokes.

This is all jokes. Apparently that's a thing. People go down to, like, bowling clubs or where old people hang out, old people who never drive, never commit traffic offences, and they, like, pay them to cop the fines for them. Oh, yeah. Because they don't have enough points to play with. My 93-year-old nan has had quite a few texting incidents under the Harbour Tunnel.

Are you serious? Really? Oh, Chiri, you shouldn't be doing that. Just a joke. Yeah. Just a joke. All right, more. Do the salacious ones.

Okay. Anonymous asks, is there a serious issue between the three of you that has occurred since the podcast began that has never been spoken about on the pod before a serious issue well we all did get that strain of herpes and we were wondering where it came from yeah still a mystery i feel like any issues you'd fucking hear about it on the podcast anyway totally i mean we do argue but it all gets resolved it all comes out in the wash pretty much we basically just nip it in the butt there's not like issues that we haven't spoken about. Like, oh, don't go there. The biggest one was on the show when we

allegedly forgot your birthday. Oh, yes. Yeah, allegedly. This is the only thing that gets me riled up because you actually did the right thing and you said, I'm sorry, my bad. But then you backpedal and say, well, I didn't actually do anything wrong, allegedly. I'm like, okay, we actually left it in a good place.

Don't poke the bear. No, totally. It was upsetting when you both forgot my birthday. Weren't you not there that week anyway? No, I was, but we had a guest. Oh, that's right. Who was it? The Twink guy. Who?

Who, Tim Abbot? Oh, Worthless Twink. Did we put Worthless Twink on your birthday episode? Yeah. How disrespectful. I'm so sorry. Yeah, we wouldn't have even clocked it Worthless Twink on your birthday episode? Yeah. How disrespectful. I'm so sorry. Yeah, we wouldn't have even clocked it. Sorry.

It's because we pre-recorded and whatnot. Is that a good excuse? No, actually, let's gaslight it. You're right. Yeah. We pre-recorded that weeks in advance. We didn't realise it was going to be released on your birthday. Yeah.

You remember. You were there. Don't. Typical stupid woman. You were there. You approved it. I think you'll find on your sound effects board, Chiri. Nah, we're just fucking with you.

We actually are just terrible friends. Yeah, we actually hate you. No, I felt awful. But hey, Chiri's due for a forgotten birthday soon. Totally. Oh, yeah. It's coming up. It's very soon.

September, right? In mind, yes. What, is that very soon? No, I thought you were actually talking about your birthday, Mitchell, which is very soon. September, right? In mind, yes. What, is that very soon? No, I thought you were actually talking about your birthday, Mitchell, which is very soon. What about mine? When's yours again? June.

Oh, fuck me. This is what got me last year. I feel like it should be the 13th or something, but it's actually way earlier. It's like the 8th or something. What is it? In my mind, it's in the teens, but we learnt that last year. Isn't it the 8th?

No, it's the 4th. Fuck, even earlier. Jesus. No, we'll celebrate. I'm going to have to put reminders weeks in advance for that. It's going to be stressful. But, you know, in answer to the question, we basically just sort shit out. Yeah.

And then we even fight on the podcast. You hear about it all. There's no tea that we haven't spilled. It's called ratings, darling. We want to succeed. Another one for Jenna. What actually happened on Contiki, Madeline asks. I've listened to every episode and I still don't know.

It involved a few celebrities and something that I regret. She can't talk about it because he's so famous. She doesn't want to be a homemaker. There's just, you know, NDAs and stuff. Of course. No, I'm not going to delve into her private life and spill the details, but basically it was a shock to me because when I went on Contiki, I was already a bit of a party animal.

So I went from like not zero to 100. I went 40 to 60, whereas Jenna went zero to 100. So it was a shock to the system. It was so out of character. And then I went back to zero. Yeah, right. Then you went. I've never seen this behavior since. I will say, though,

for the first time in the history of the show, for the bicentenary, Mitch did record audio of that moment. And let's roll it out now. Jenna in Contiki. Okay. Right. Ready for the second finger? Oh, sorry. Oh, don't. That's gross.

What was that sound effect? I don't know. The, don't. That's gross. What was that sound effect? I don't know. The microphone just fell into Jenna's lap. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Fuck, we've got so many more questions to get through. Let's keep going. Burn through them.

Coombs, did you struggle entering the city gay scene when you first moved from the country? That's an anonymous one. I don't know why that's anonymous. That's not spicy at all, but I definitely did a beer. It was very daunting at first. I was such a fish out of water. Oh, really? The first time I ever went gay clubbing, I don't even know if this exists

anymore, but it was like part of SBS's Mardi Gras coverage. They were kind of piggybacking off the whole Bougainvillea viral video thing and they were like let's take the Bougainvillea kid gay clubbing for the first time there was a camera crew there was a journalist there so that was obviously a different experience to go and clubbing for the first time because I was being filmed so I was like on and then when I started actually going out without the camera crew it was still a bit like holy fuck fish out of. But I settled right in over time.

Yeah. Now I'm a little club rat. You really are. You love it more than I do. I actually haven't been in months. Really? You're another of us. It got to the point where Sean, who is ten times more sensible than me,

said, can we please go to Oxford Street this weekend because I miss it. I was like, fuck, it must be getting bad if even Sean misses it. Oh, bless you. Oh, I love Sean. Next question. Cherie asks, do you. Oh, I love Sean. Next question. Cherie asks, do you think you'll make it to 300 episodes? Oh, shit. Well, I didn't think we'd make it to 200.

So, I mean, I may as well say yes, I think we will. Yeah, I wasn't really keeping tabs on where we were up to. It was actually a case of, fuck, I thought the 100th was yesterday. Yeah, that's how I feel. We're at 200 already. We kind of just got here by accident. So, if we just keep on keeping on, we'll get to 300 and be like, shit, especially now that we're doing two a week.

That's what I was going to say. If we continue doing two a week, we'll be at 300 in a year. So it's fine. Was that good math? I think so. You sounded convinced. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's right.

Correct, yeah. Keely. Keely? Are these real names? Yeah. How would you pronounce that? K-E-E-L-Y. Keely.

Keely. Okay. Well, Keely wants to know which Mitch would you say that k-e-e-l-y keely okay well keely wants to know which mit would you say comes up with the most ideas for segments what's your process oh well it's clearly me it's kind of true no it's not i think it's very shared i mean um well just remember the question is the most ideas yeah often i make happen, but you've got a lot of ideas. That's actually very true. That's why we work well. Like the whole rug sniffing thing, you said that as an idea, as a joke. You forgot you even suggested it, but I was like, on the weekend, fuck it, I'm going to

make it happen. Totally. Same with Will It Blend. Oh, no, I think that was your idea. Yeah, that was. Yeah, it was. Even though it's been done a million times before. Will It Block, but the top five doorbells.

Yeah. Correct, but you make them all happen. With a block. But the top five doorbells. Yeah. Correct. But you make them all happen. Yeah, no. In terms of what's the process, it's, yeah, that's pretty much how it works. A lot of the things, I don't know how some creators do like calendars and schedules weeks in advance because we very much just go with the flow. Like an idea will fall in our lap because it's a follow on from last week, you know. And so, yeah.

I agree. I don't know how to explain the process. It's a follow-on from last week, you know. And so, yeah. I agree. I don't know how to explain the process. It's kind of just go with your gut on the day, I guess. I remember the day that Jenna had her first idea. I don't. That was 199 episodes ago. Hey, actually, there's a question here for Jenna about that. Uh-oh.

Mini Fudge wants to know, can we get an is it just Jenna for the 200th episode? An idge, if you will. Oh, my God. You fire up that sound effect, bitch. Yeah, I've got one. You've got one, Jenna? Wait.

Think. Don't have a thinker. You're good at this. You've never had a miss. You've got a 100% success rate. Yep, okay, I've got it. All right, I've got the sound effect. Bradley will count you in.

Is it just me or? Does it feel really nice when the doctor checks your ears? Once again, very good. I don't think a doctor's ever checked my ears. Yeah, they look in that thing. Thermometer. Oh, yeah, you're right. It tickles a bit, doesn't it?

It does tickle and it also kind of clicks when they do that. And they put the plastic cover in. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great feeling. Oh, it feels so good. Yeah, I agree. It's like a little mini doesn't it? It does tickle and it also kind of clicks when they do it. Yes. And they put the plastic cover in. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great feeling. Oh, it feels so good. Yeah, I agree. It's like a little mini eargasm. Yeah.

Like, oh, can you keep it in for longer? Yeah. Yeah, we're still talking about the... I like when they put the cold stethoscope on your chest. Oh, that's nice too. Oh, yes, the cool steel. Yeah. Have you ever talked into a stethoscope?

I didn't realise it's basically a microphone. No, I haven't. No. We could fucking host a podcast with one of those things. When have you spoken into a stethoscope? I didn't realise it's basically a microphone. No, I haven't. No. We could fucking host a podcast with one of those things. When have you spoken into a stethoscope? If you put the headphone things on and just talk into it, you'll hear yourself. Really? Yeah. Wow. The more you know. Next question.

When will we be getting rash shirts? Oh, that's a good question. Well, since the Billabong factory burnt down. What? It's been a long time. She's wiping out the competition so that we can launch ours. Since the Billabong factory burnt down. What? It's been a- Did it burn down? She's wiping out the competition so that we can launch ours. It's been a lot dealing with the lawsuits and stuff.

But, like, it will happen. Yeah, we're going to try and make it happen in time for summer. I've been meeting with this new merch guy and he said, yeah, we can make that happen, but I don't think we should do that anytime soon. What sort of idiot buys a rash vest for winter? And I'm like, our idiots, precisely. Also, we'll get them on a good deal if we buy them in winter. Probably.

Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, if there's enough interest, which there was more than one question about the fucking rash vest. I'm not going to lie. Sun safety is so important. If there's enough interest, we'll make it happen. It's going to happen. Hopefully by this summer. Yes.

Definitely by this summer. Another question for me. Tomothy. Oh. That's not a real name. It's question for me. Tomothy. Oh. That's not a real name. It's a fake name. Tomothy wants to know, what's with Not My Cup of Tea? Good stuff coming soon announcement at the start of the year.

Oh, yeah, I remember this. And nothing eventuated. So, this is my old podcast that I did before this one. And we were sort of toying with the idea of relaunching the podcast. And it was kind of like, are you in? Are you in? Yeah, I'm in. Okay.

And then nothing's really happened because I already have a fucking podcast. Yeah. And since we're trying to get to the 300 streak, I can't do two podcasts at once. It'll have to be after this one ends, whenever that comes. Yeah. Yeah. But we've basically expressed an interest to get the band back together. Well, why don't we just kill this podcast and then they'll be hyped to bring it back

and we just bring it back? Wow, you were almost too willing to kill this podcast. No, no, no. I just was trying to think of a way to promote it. Like, kill it. But they've been announced we've killed it for like a month or something. Then come back. Well, do you know what?

We actually have recorded an episode. Oh. You know those portable mics we got? Yeah, the Rode ones. Yeah, the ones that Oscar uses for the reports and stuff. Yes. When I got those, I wanted to test them. And so I said to Talisha, because she happened to be here,

one of my old co-hosts. Yes. I said, should we just drive over to Aiton's house and gaslight her and say, where have you been? We agreed to do a recording. We just walk in with a microphone. That's funny. And start recording.

And we did it. And Aiton just rolled with it. And then we recorded a one-hour episode by accident. And it was actually really fun. So, yeah, one day. We'll see. It'll be released. We're all interested.

Yes. And based on the reaction when we were posting on the old Not My Cover Tea Instagram, where people were like, fuck yes. I'm like, well, maybe other people are interested. Bring it back. But I'm already happily married to this podcast. So, we'll see. Good answer.

Yeah. So, as soon as one of you guys fucking acts up and ruins our relationship, I'm going back to my ex. Sorry, I keep pressing Siri on the laptop. Sorry. I wonder what that was. That was me. I keep pressing Siri.

Sorry. Anonymous asks, is Chiri on Ozempic? Oh, my God. People are fucking brazen. No, I'm not on Ozempic. I'm not. My doctor did prescribe me Ozempic about a year and a bit ago because I was 160 kilos. I was a very big boy. And I thought, let's try Ozempic. I'm not. My doctor did prescribe me Ozempic about a year and a bit ago because I was 160 kilos. I was a very big boy.

And I thought, let's try Ozempic. And I tried it for three, four weeks, maybe five weeks max. And it made me violently sick. Like, so I would shit myself. And I also- Yeah, I've heard that it's like a bit nasty, the side effects. It sounds like a medically induced eating disorder. I was on a very small dose and I had like awful gastro symptoms.

My stomach was terrible. It was like my body just forgot how to process food. I'd be like constipated for three days. Then I'd shit myself silly. Then I had stomach cramps. I was nauseous. So I came off it and then, no, but I lost the weight the normal, not the normal way, but the traditional way.

Yeah, like it might have given you a bit of a fucking kickstart, but out of all the, what is it again, 45? I think it's 45. I'm not weighing myself anymore. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I don't do what I do. Let's say 45. Yeah, out of 45, it's probably only the first 10. The rest was you. Not even, not even, but yeah, definitely. Yeah, I tried at the very start, but not for me. No. Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that actually. So many people ask me as well. I was like, absolutely not, no. People ask me as well. They're like, oh, you look fabulous. Are you on a Zen pic? I was like, I love that that's now the language we use.

That's the default. Yeah, I know. Also, you've got to stab yourself in the stomach. By the way, the answer's no. Yeah, no, Mitch is not on a Zen pic. Oh, my God. For the little bit that I did it for like four weeks, where you stab yourself in the stomach every day,

you get a bruise there. It's awful. That doesn't sound fun. Yeah, it's not fun at all. But, you know, it has its place. Some people like to use it, whatever. Totally. Anonymous asks,, it has its place. Some people like to use it, whatever. Totally. Anonymous asks, Jenna, absolutely no hate.

You're gorgeous. But are you gay or straight? I don't think it's ever been mentioned. No, I don't think it has. Ever. I do consider myself straight, but at the same time, I don't want to put myself in a corner. I thought you were going to say in a box.

I'm like, well, that rules that out then. You're not a lesbian. That is what gay is, Jenna. But yeah, I do feel like I identify as straight. It wasn't women plowing through Orangutiki. Anyway, next question. Anonymous asks, live shows for the podcast, yes or no? Oh my God.

I'd love to make this happen, but it has just been a scheduling thing. Like you two are already busy as fuck. We all are. And also at one point my comedy manager was trying to make it happen, but I'm pretty sure your manager never replied with email. Yeah, I fired that manager about a month ago. So I feel like – We'll need the email of the new one.

I haven't decided yet, but in the interim, I feel like we're now in the best state to do it. Schedule aside – Does it need to be with a manager involved? Because I always find like sometimes too many cooks in the kitchen. That's true. I agree.. Does it need to be with a manager involved? Because I always find like sometimes too many cooks in the kitchen. That's true. I agree. What is it just scheduling? It's just more money and scheduling. Like we can do it. Yeah. And then you won't have to give 20% if we just do it. Totally imagine that. Yeah. So we'll pick that conversation up again, but

it's something we'd like to do. Make no mistake, but yeah, it's easier said than done, I think. Totally. With all the scheduling and your commitments and shit. Yeah. It's on the radar though, for sure. All right. One more question. All right, last one. You ready for this? Yeah. Do any of you actually have ADD, hence the name of your secret segment? I'm not sure what you're talking about. No idea what you're- What secret segment? I don't know. Let's talk about ADD, but I don't know what you're on about. I, for one, yes, I have been diagnosed with ADHD, or just ADD in my case, which stands for attention deficit disorder without the H, which stands for hyperactive.

Apparently I'm not hyperactive. I'm just off with the fairies but not disrupting anyone. But I am on medication for that, which means that I can focus and I'm quite popular at parties. But no, neither of you have been diagnosed, right? No, I have asked my doctor and she claimed – my doctor, my physician. They claim no. Mitch is adamant that I do, but I don't think I do. I just recognize a few symptoms in you that I also have, but it's a lot harder to get diagnosed these days. Your doctor has probably been asked a hundred times before. And so when you said,

I think I might have ADD, she just went, no. Yeah. Because there's a lot of people seeing TikTok being like, I think I am. So, it's like a lot more hoops to jump through to actually get diagnosed than when I did. It was actually so straightforward for me. It was ridiculous. I know. You were one of the very first. I went to the GP and I said, I think I've got ADD.

Because I knew all through high school, I knew that I had it. And so, I was like, I think I've got ADD. She goes, right, do this quiz. I'll send you to a psychologist. I had to go to one psychologist. She goes, yep, I'm pretty convinced got A to D. She goes, right, do this quiz. I'll send you to a psychologist. I had to go to one psychologist. She goes, yep, I'm pretty convinced you've got it. Went to a psychiatrist. They were like, here's your meds.

And that all happened within like a month. Really? Now it takes ages. Yeah, it does. But can I be honest? I'm kind of not on board with the whole, I watch TikTok and people are like, this is how I knew I was autistic. Yes.

I love just vanilla ice cream. And I'm like, okay, yeah. It's a bit more complicated than one hyperfixation. And everyone's commenting being like, finally answers. I'm like, I think we all like vanilla ice cream. No, but then all the comments are like, finally, now I understand why I like vanilla ice cream. Exactly, yeah.

You go, oh, my God, I've got a community. I'm like, no, it's just people that like vanilla ice cream. That's your community. Yes. Anyway. So no, but Jenna, are you diagnosed? No, I haven't been, but I do think I have some traits of it. But I have brought it up with my psychiatrist.

Oh, if you've already got a psychiatrist, fucking you're halfway there. Exactly. But he's mainly focused on my anxiety. Right. So it could be a subset of that. Yeah, okay. I see. Oh, well, no Speaking of ADD

Let's finish the show Sure We better get out of here That's the end of the show End of our 200th episode Wow Thanks for all your questions, idiots I love a good Q&A

Yeah, it was very fun That was fun I really loved it That was good And like I said before Go to the link in our show notes And that's where you can submit your anonymous questions If you've got any springing to mind right now,

just send it through and we'll get to it in the next one. Totally. I should say, before we go, though, we really should, for one last time, check the interim traffic. WSFM time. I knew you'd love that. That's my favourite one. What other sounds haven't you played yet?

There's quite a few. Greensleeves. Yes. It's an ice cream truck. I love that, yeah. No, of course it is. Oh,'s quite a few. Oh. Green Sleeves. Yes. It's an ice cream truck. I love that, yeah. No, of course it is. Oh, I get a little froggy. Just a little ribbit.

That's cute. It is next to the glass breaking, so you could do a frog jumping onto a glass breaking while it was playing Grand Theft Auto. Why is that on here? I don't know. I can't explain what corner of my brain I pulled that from. I just thought he might like this, the San Andreas theme. Oh, I played San Andreas like a child.

Like a child? As a child. Which is so inappropriate. It's R18+. Oh my god, I would just beat hookers on the street as an infant. What am I doing? I would just drive peacefully around. Would you? Yeah, one time I was playing GTA with Aislinn from Not My Cup of Tea.

Yes. And she just goes, do you have to be a criminal? Like, what if I just wanted to make it as an actor on GTA? Yes. Because it was based in LA. That's not possible. Literally me, every time I played it. It was very fun. Anyway.

Oh, bugger. Was that the computer or was that a sound effect? It's a sound effect. Oh, now the computer's about to have a fucking aneurysm. We will go. 200 episodes. We should go. We really should say thank you to you guys for listening to The Idiots

for keeping us going because we couldn't part if it wasn't for you. The fact that there's people that have been there from day one and stuck around blows my mind. I'm very flattered. Thank you for listening. And to all the newbies too, whether it be TikTok or Instagram, we love you. Thanks for following.

Yeah, or through your hairdresser, whatever it may be. Totally. Who knows? All right, guys. We love you. Thanks for listening. We'll catch you back on Monday. Love you all.

Bye. See you. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end. We pretend that the episode is done and then we just go rogue for a bit and hope that no one hears this. I don't have to drive anywhere, so I'm going to get another champagne.

Yeah, Janet, can I have another cupcake? Yeah, of course. I'm eyeing off that green one. What flavour is it? Do you know? I think it might just be the colour of the icing. Oh, I hate it when get another champagne. Yeah, Janet, can I have another cupcake? Yeah, of course. I'm eyeing off that green one. What flavour is it? Do you know? I think it might just be the colour of the icing. Oh, I hate it when they do that. Icing colour should reflect flavour.

Don't insult the cupcake. What do you want it to be? Snot? Ew, what? Don't say that as I'm about to eat it. Oh, there's only one chocolate left, Janet. Yeah, that's fine. Are you sure?

Yeah. Oh, I want to go for that. What are you doing? I've really fucked up. That one's got a Maltese on it. That looks gorgeous. Yeah, it does look good. I'm going to have another one too.

Oh, why do we keep doing this? Eating at the same time as each other. It's just one of them. I'm just going to have to do a one-woman show over here. I've been eyeing off this one. Get your champagne. Okay. So I'm going to be away from the mic.

You're both just going to be eating with a mouthful. Sure, this is going to be award-winning shit. All right, ready? Oh, that's interesting flavor. Go on hold. Put the show on hold. Oh, that's an interesting flavour. Go on hold.

Put the show on hold. Yum. You two aren't even trying to fill the silence while I'm gone. We gave up. Cherry was on his phone. Sorry, I was not on Instagram or anything. Wow, that is a really good. What flavor is that? That looks like actual poo.

Oh, don't say that. That is poo color if you're unwell. You're just jealous. Ew. No, of the fact that this was her gift, not yours. Oh, I've probably eaten like seven of it. Well, 200 episodes, guys. Did you both think we'd make it?

Again, I didn't really think about it. We've kind of just made a routine of it. We do it every week and I don't keep count. It's like saying, oh, did you think you would ever go to the supermarket 500 times? Yeah, exactly. It's like I wasn't trying to rack it up. It just happened. How old were we when we started this?

It was 2019. So, when was that? We met at Jenna's 40th. 2019. Fuck. So, I would have been – I actually can't do the maths. 24. I would have been, you would have been 23.

I would have been 24. I was 51. I think so. Yeah, 23. We would have been 23. No, there's, yeah, 23, 24. Yeah, okay. I remember I was, when I went to-

And now you're practically 30. Shut up, I'm 28. I knew that was going to get her eyes out of you. Just turned. Wait, are you only 28? Yeah. Oh, I thought I was 28. I knew that was going to get her eyes out of you. Wait, are you only 28? Yeah. Oh, I thought I was 29. Did you actually?

But I'm turning 28 and you're a year older than me. Oh, right. Your birthday's after. Yeah. I'm 29 in the end of this year. Right. So there's only a little bit of time where we're both 28. Correct.

Which is right. And my birthday is when again? Your birthday is, yeah, of course. Yes, that's right. Nah, it's July. Correct. There's a two in there. There is.

Thank God. It's between two, then between zero and nine. You're right. It is. It's one or seven. No. Fuck. Two.

No. Oh. Well, Jenna, you go. Remember, it's exactly six months before and after Christmas. As if that helps me at all. It's the 25th, fuckface. Because Christmas is the 25th. That helps immensely.

That's how math works. And, Jenna, your birthday, of course, being? Yes. June 4th. Yeah. And Cherry's is September 29th or 7th? Incorrect. Both wrong.

Is it in the 20s, then? No. 30? Correct. See, it's good. I knew it was close. That's fine. Thank God. Is it in the 20s then? No. 30? Correct. See, it's good. I knew it was close. That's fine. Thank God.

That made me feel so much better about myself. It's only been 200 episodes. Does iHeartRadio need to be told about this? What? We had that one meeting with the executives and they all signed off and gave us that sack of cash and they've just fucked right off. I think a lot of them got let go. No, did they? So do they not realise that we're still on their payroll?

No. No, they do. They've basically just left us to our own devices for nearly five years. They have. It's only been in the last 12 months that they've started, like, interacting with us and been, like, really excited to see that the podcast is back for the new year, love the new artwork.

Yeah. And, like, they've been really encouraging and shit. And I'm like, what's going on? Has there been some meeting with the board members being like, new company policy, be nicer to everyone? Because all of a sudden they're just showering us with all this fucking love. They sent us, what was it again? Chocolate or something?

They sent us chocolate for the new Valentine's Day. But they called me Jenna Churi. Also, they were emailing just me and CCing Mitchell like he was staff. They're like, hello, Mitch. Mitch, you're also CCed for convenience. I'm like, can you please email all of us? What about that time? Here's some tea for you.

We got this email from someone who works in sales at iHeart, and she ripped us a new one saying we've had feedback from the team saying that you guys are really, really slack with getting back to our emails. And they said, and for that reason, a sponsor has pulled out and withdrawn their sponsorship or whatever. And I came back and I said, hi, I don't understand. I'm so sorry this has happened, but I've not gotten an email from anyone at iHeartRadio for three months.

What am I missing? It's not in my junk. And then they ended up investigating and they spelled my fucking name wrong. Yeah. So I got my ass torn to shreds because I'm not replying to emails. That was just you not replying. I was going to say I was on every single email. Yeah.

But me, the doer of things, wasn't getting them. And then we got in so much trouble for apparently having a client pull out because we're so flaky. So you'll hear ads for companies that we have to do for repatriation. We're just, to apologise to iHeart, we'll be doing ads for companies we don't align with. When they told me, oh, it's actually my mistake, and I said, oh, that's so fine.

It happens to the best of us. But make sure you tell that client that it was not our fucking fault. 100%. Please own up because I would never just not reply. Actually, I fucking would just not reply to an email to be fair. It's not in my nature to be super meticulous with that. That same person just recently had a deal with a cruise ship company and they would like Jonesy and Amanda to go on a cruise

and record their time there without any producers. Wow. You just also need to put $2 in the swear jar. Oh, yes. Oh, right. I forgot about that. Where's the cha-ching? Actually, no, the bike bells is our new cha-ching.

Oh, is it? Where's the cha-ching sound effect for the swear jar? That's $2 in the swear jar, Jenna. You mentioned Jonesy and Amanda. Okay. Excuse me. Excuse me. Jenna looks so confused because she wasn't here for that Bike Bell episode.

I wasn't expecting that. That's very funny for everyone. Yeah, everyone's piercing. Dying. Piercing. They're dying. They're laughing. Anyway, what you need to do is tell that cruise ship company,

hey, I'm so sorry, Johnson and Mander aren't available. However, would you be interested in Mitchell, Cherry and Mitchell Coombs instead? Correct. We don't need fucking producers. We've never had one. I want to come. Because we will definitely. No, they've only got room for two.

No, I love Cruises. Nah, come on, come on. I want to. Nah, we don't have time. Mitch. All right, looks like it's just you and I, Jen. Let's go. Jen, yuck, you're not a Jen.

Jen Hanlon's a Jen and that's Jen A, her real name. How's her 40th? Mitch went to TikTok superstar Jen A's 40th. Friend of the show. Yeah. I was invited, but I couldn't go. It was lovely. Yeah.

I loved it. Was there ebbs on everything? No. She took the night off. She paid caterers. She let her hair down. She works hard. She makes good money.

It was also so funny meeting her friends who are all so lovely, which was actually a surprise because when I walked in there, I was like, oh my God, I could get guttersomped by any of these people. They look like the sort of blokes that go pigging. Totally. You know what I mean? They would go. Work shirts, hats, boots, jeans, that sort of vibe.

And I was like, oh my God, but they were all so lovely. There was this one guy, I was lining up at the bar. He was wearing a hat at night inside. Go figure. I was lining up at the bar and he was sitting at the table and I was sort of right behind him. He took his hat off and shook it, like flicked it so as to get rid of the sweat. And it all flicked up the back of my legs. No.

And I felt all these water droplets on the back of my legs because I was facing towards the bar. Wearing shorts? Yeah. And I was like, what is that? And I was looking up at the roof. There's something leaking. And someone else comes up to me and goes, just so you know, that was that guy's hat sweat. And I went, like, it takes a lot.

I don't get queasy or gaggy or anything like that. But I felt so sick. I had to go to the bathroom and, like, wash my legs. Oh, that's gross. I was just like, another man's hat sweat. I spoke to him to the bathroom and, like, wash my legs. Oh, that's gross. I was just like, blech. Another man's hat sweat. I spoke to him later. He's actually lovely.

I didn't bring it up, but I was like, that's the most vile thing that's ever happened to me. What was his name? Was it John A? Were all her friends named like that? No. Oh. No. Right.

Actually, there's going to be friends of hers that were there listening. A few of her friends are idiots. Oh, my God. Yeah. Hello, guys. I'm sorry I her friends are idiots. Oh, my God. Yeah. Hello, guys. I'm sorry I couldn't be there. It looked very fun.

Yeah, you were invited. I was invited. I want no harm done to Jenna. She's so cute. Love her. I said to her, I know that we just keep saying this. We keep fucking saying it. It's been years, but we must get you back on the podcast.

Back on the show. I agree. We really should. I think we should. She's great. She's a great guest. Speaking of, one of the anonymous questions that i didn't read out was basically like um are you not doing guests on the podcast anymore oh and the answer to that is we're not not doing guests but when we did our fucking survey monkey yeah a lot of the feedback said that they don't love guest episodes being as

frequent as they are like a special one off Fadan or whatever the fucking name is. It's coming. That's going to be good. She's a lawyer. She's in the middle of litigation and she's got a cat and a dog. I mean, who made that choice? Clearly, she's busy.

Okay. What if I said to you, make it happen within the month? Could you do that? I can. Can I issue you that challenge? Sure. Because, yeah, I still love a good guest episode. They're some of my favorites, but yeah, some people listen just for us. Some people love the guest, some people don't. It's Because, yeah, I still love a good guest episode. They're some of my favourites.

But, yeah, some people listen just for us. Some people love the guests. Some people don't. It's just, yeah, we've got to. Totally. Personal choice. Yeah. Fadan is coming within the month.

Okay. So, this episode comes out on the 17th. Yep. So, 17th of May. We'll have Fadan on before then. That's your birthday. Yes. Yeah, you're right. You're right.

No, I'll get her on We're emailing back and forth How many fucking emails does it take? You've been emailing back and forth since January No, so far I feel you may have left her on read No, I did leave her on read And then she bumped it because she's a lawyer

She was like, to whom's this made concern? I'm like, sorry, Fadan But she did just get a cat and dog And she's got to cook dinner every day and be a lawyer But you sold it to me totally differently You said, she's got to cook dinner every day and be a lawyer. But you sold it to me totally differently. You said she lives just down the road. She'll pop in any time. From the old studios. Oh no. I'll

fucking shout her an Uber. It's fine. Totally. We'll put it on the kiddio. Yeah. Alright, listen. We really should go. For the 200th episode, we've celebrated. It's been fun, Mitchell. The gifts were gorgeous. So lovely. Thank you. I feel that you didn't get a lot of mileage. There's so many sound effects yet to be discovered. Oh, well, you know, don't get ahead of yourself.

Do I only have to use this? Do I only get this gift for one episode? Does it only apply to this one episode? I think that's absolutely. Sorry, that was an accident. That worked really well. It was a genuine slip up. Oh, I think this can stay.

This was a gift. This was a gift. Beautiful gift. I mean, I did intend it to be for one episode only, but that means I'm going to have to give you my laptop every episode. So you can't ask me to Google a thing. That's fine. It means Jenna's going to have to bring her fucking laptop.

Jenna, back to Googling. I'll be on the sound effects and you just be your gorgeous self. Deal. Let's do that. Deal. I've never had this luxury of just being gorgeous. Welcome to my life. It's very fun. Where do I start? had this luxury of just being gorgeous. Welcome to my life. It's very fun.

Where do I start? Well, you know how I said I didn't get you a gift? I actually did. Oh, come on. Here we go. Is it fucking Tim Dormer again? That was a good gift. I had to pay him $20 on Cameo.

That's funny. You did not. You just called someone in your contacts that you knew would answer. No. All right. Let me stand up. I can give you my gift. You've wanted it for years.

Oh, standing up. Oh, my God. What do you think? What an anticlimax. Oh. In my mind, it was so much more impressive. Oh, God, you're douching. Wow.

Oh, I'm sitting back down. Is that how it sounds? Is it that easy? Maybe I'll start. Maybe I'll start. All right. Wait, wait. Is that your hesitation because you think the douching process is too tricky?

I know. I've done it before. I know how it works. Yeah, I was going to say, it's really not. I know how it works. It depends how many curries you've eaten in the last seven days. Oh, my God. Well, I'm not much of a calmer boy.
