This is Is It Just Me? hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. You know I take cognition vitamins every day. I think you need to up the dose. Now here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you!

Hello you! I'm feeling really good today. You are? Just wanted to let you know. I reckon I'll get there. I'll get there in a bit. I just have to come down. I'm a bit fucked off.

Why? Because you know when you're driving somewhere and you're a little bit late, only a little bit. But on those days is when you get every fucking red light. Yep. Oh my God, it was constant stop start on the way here. Yeah, it's the worst. Can't they build a tunnel between my home and the studio?

They really should. For you. I'm going to write a letter. Is it just me on the fly or do we just need more tunnels? It feels like tunnels were really big. They had the Harbour Tunnel and then you got the Cross City Tunnel. This is in Sydney. All these tunnels.

But they're not building any new tunnels. Oh, yes they are. Are they? Remember the whole Roselle interchange bullshit? Oh, that's your negative. That everyone was whinging about. Rebel Wilson whinged about that. Yeah, I know.

She was really rightly pissed off. That was so funny. Rebel Wilson in Pig Howard traffic in Roselle. I know. Isn't that so funny? I just never would have picked that being a problem for her. She posted on her Insta story while driving. It was a hazard.

It was such a Karen moment from her. She's like, listen, Sydney City Council thought this shit out. At Clovermoor, these roads need to be pitch perfect. Oh, nice. Not my best. That took me a sec. Not my best. Speaking of pitch perfect, Pricekeeper Jen is here.

Hi. How are you? I'm good. Could have been speaking of a rebel. Yes. Speaking of a rebel. No, not really. No.

So why are you pissed off? Why were you rushed? Because you were late for here. No, just getting every red light. It's one of those things that makes me disproportionately outraged. It's mad. Yeah. It's maddening. Maybe I get red lights just as often, but it's only when those things that makes me disproportionately outraged. It's mad. Yeah. Maybe I get red lights just as often, but it's only when I'm running late that I notice

it. But I swear, normally it's a smooth run. Yeah. There's also more mobile speed cameras than before. There are so many of those hidden mini speed cameras. I don't really have anything to worry about in that area. No, I do. I'm back to like four points left.

I just got my license back. Yeah. Far out. I'm burning through them. I think my body speeds on double demerits. I don't know why. I just know. I forgot you lost your license for a period, didn't you?

Yes. Oh, yeah. No, no. I was on golden points. So I had 12 months of one point. Oh, it was like a good behavior bond. Yeah. It was like a year of the Hunger Games driving.

Yeah. Like if I was done, I'd be done. But I was Katniss. I reigned supreme. Well done. I didn't die. I don't know if this is going to affect your apparently brilliant move, but would you like an update on the poll we did?

Fucking listeners of this show. The idiots of this show, I've got a theory on this, but you can reveal the updates on the poll. We have to tread very lightly here. We do. So last episode we were talking about how I apparently used a name that has been banned from this podcast. Well, you did.

Let's talk facts. Yeah, yeah. But the name is the most famous missing child, just for context. We all know who we're talking about, don't we? It rhymes with- Nope. Caddy Milan. Look, if McDonald's brought out a can, what would they call it?

Okay? They had a can on a burger. Yeah, if McDonald's brought out a can, what would they call it? Okay? They had a can on a burger. And who's that little girl that danced with Sia? Nickname for Madison. Totally. That's it. So we know who we're talking about, the famous missing child. We banned her name being mentioned on the podcast. Because I brought it up too much. I don't know why.

It just sort of kept coming up. It was a reference you kept going back to. I don't know why. And then we invented a swear jar. Every time she gets mentioned, you put a dollar in. Correct. And you reckon that because I mentioned it on another podcast that I had to pay the dollar. Well, an idiot sent it to me and they said, I think this needs to be discussed. So I did discuss it.

I'm not going to write or die by it. I didn't lose any sleep over it. But I thought you need to repatriate for your sins. You need to pay. But then I made the point that I didn't mention on this podcast, the band only applies to this podcast. And in fact, by playing that audio last week, you are liable because you caused her name to be mentioned.

That was the theory. A very strong argument, I think. Then we ended up discussing Jenna wanting your come over mine. But that's not involved in the poll, is it? No. No, that's separate. Okay. No, but everyone agreed.

That shocked me equally. So what's the result? the poll, is it? No. No, that's separate. Okay. No, but everyone agreed. That shocked me equally. So what's the result? The big question is who has to pay the dollar? Who's liable? Bearing in mind you also upped the bet to one grand. I didn't. You did. That's true.

Why would I do that? And I said I'm comfy with that because I'm pretty sure I won't have to pay it. Okay. What are the results of the poll? I did not expect it to be this far in one favour. Yeah. 91% to Cheery. Was it really? Yeah, as in like, you have to

pay. Genuinely, I'm such an idiot. No. I thought I won. The question was, who has to pay the $1 fine for mentioning Beep's name? I was like, did I look at it wrong? Last I checked, I had one vote for me and it was myself. Nah, it's all, everyone's saying you have to pay it.

I did not expect it to be 91%. I'm going to name and shame some of these absolute idiots. I hate these people. Our darling listeners, you mean? No, no, the people that voted for me. Was there any? Surely there was some. Oh, I didn't, voted for me.

No, for me. Yes, for you. Correct, yes. Remember, the question is who has to pay. Yes, you're right. So those that voted for me, 9%. Oh, yeah. And you were one of them.

It tells me who voted. Of course I voted for you. Oh, my God. Such little turncoats. Kyle Dureston. Elise Magoo. Go fuck yourself. Read the comments.

Zara Haygarth. Alyssa Fritter. Okay, Coombs, if Tury actually gets his way and you have to pay $1, you need to mash up all the times he's said it. Shut up, Amy. There's no way I could do that. It'd take me hours. Now, I sincerely love both of you, but Coombs has a valid argument.

As someone in the legal field, oh, my God, here we go. First of all, I doubt that anyone with brain cells listens to this show. You'd be surprised. People like a brain break, don't they? Yeah, right. Doctors and shit, they all listen. Yeah, that's true. The fact that it was said outside of the podcast and not within the scope, oh, God, they are

legal, of the Idrim pod is too broad to say that you must pay the $1 fine. Just like if Jenna were to mention AK on her podcast. Amanda Keller. Yes, she shouldn't have to pay the fine. However, I think Cheery should fall back on the fact that he didn't actually say the name. Yes, this is great. And that he just played the audio. That would fall into a gray area for sure.

If you made an agreement stating that one person will pay the $1 fine after a poll, looks like it's going to be cheery. Sorry, bud, but there has to be limits in place. That's how laws are made. Wow, I agree. Well, I'm comfortable with implementing some law reform, but the thing is that law reform can never be retrospective. You were guilty of the crime at the time, but I'm happy to change the rules.

All right, so why don't we just, the lesser of two evils, you don't pay. I was never going to. No, no, no, I don't pay either. You have to pay $1,000. Jenna pays. How is that fair? Because Jenna was complicit. No, no, no, no.

I don't think she was. I want you to pay me $1,000 because I'm having Coombs' son. Just like that famous. Son? It's a boy. It's a boy. Oh, my fucking God. Oh, God, abort.

I wanted a girl. I know. The fact that, can I just say, the fact that we discuss this and pretend that it's real, but yet this comes up and we go, oh, no, you've got to pay the money. We really need to draw the line between what is reality and what is fucking theatre in this godforsaken show. Listen, the votes have made up their mind. You have to add an extra dollar to the, what do you call it, the swear jar.

I would and I could fall back on the argument that I didn't actually say their name. Yes. Because we don't know their gender. We just can't keep going over this. I agree. I'm over it. So I'll pay the money to shut everyone up. $1,000.

No, $1 is what we agreed upon. You said $1,000. I did not. You did, but I'm not going to hold you to it. As much as I'd fucking love to, because technically you'd have to pay it. No, not technically. I'm going to get Maylene Sully on the show. That's my legal representation.

Oh. Who think that I could fall back on it. And I don't want to bore the audience. There's people sitting at home going, God, I miss the old time ragtime laughs with Mitch, Mitch and Jay. Hey? And here they are arguing over that girl again. I think we just move on. Yeah, well, I just wanted to give you an update on the fucking poll.

Jesus Christ. Thank you. No, you're right. I apologise. I personally think that people are just scared to vote for you because they're worried that they'll get ridiculed. Why would they have any reason to be scared of me? You just told them that you hate them.

Yeah. I think I have a warped perception of self. And myself, I would add. Yeah. Why would they be scared of me? No, I just think I've got an impression of you from like four years ago. Right. Because you're very different now.

You're the one that just said that you fucking hate them all. You're the one that's like thrown mugs and shit. I did not. Smashed prizes to people. You've definitely had more tantrums to all the listeners than I have. Well, sorry. They should be scared of you. Well, imagine going to a Broadway show and saying, how dare they put on a show.

Okay. And that's like people complaining if they say I'm mean. I go, well, you're not going to get mad at Angry Jacks for serving a Whopper, are you? You're just mad. Are you going to go to Baker's Delight and say, how dare you serve up a cheesy Mark Scroll? This just makes no sense. No, it does. Well, guess what?

I'm going full filibuster. You know what that means? I'm just going to sense. No, it does. Well, guess what? I'm going full filibuster. You know what that means? I'm just going to fill. What? A filibuster is what the American politicians do because to get a bill passed, everyone needs to talk for a certain amount of time. You can talk for as long as you want, but there's only a certain amount of time on the Senate floor to get bills passed.

So a filibuster is like some Republican idiot will get up and talk for four hours and then there's no time to vote on the legislation. Okay, well I thought we were moving on. No, I'm filibustering. Right. Our audience is so bored. Why don't I fill a sing? They miss the good old laugh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Born in a battery. Caught in a battery. Okay, let's move on. Welcome to the show, everyone. If it's your first time listening, this is Is It Just Me? Every episode starts the same with a legal court case. We start every episode with

an Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate, something we appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I do not know Mitch's. And Jenna gets paid nothing. We gave Jenna the option to contribute a weekly Is It Just Me? and she refused because that would involve putting thought into this. We actually gave her

a full offer, didn't we? On audition, yeah. On audition. I did want, and I succeeded in my audition. That was the rug-sniffing one, I'm pretty sure. But I decided, no, it's not my thing. Mine is something that I've noticed. Me too.

Oh, good. Okay, mine, you recently made me have this thought, Mitchell, something that you did online. Something you noticed in me? And I was happy to see it from you. Right. But then there's other people who do the exact same thing on social media and I feel trapped by it.

That's dramatic. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. What about you? I don't know how to. It's something I've noticed about, I don't even know how to fucking. Damn it. This is what you do and I roast you for not coming up with a good hook.

Fuck. I do it every week. Oh, it's pretty nothing. The one week I have. No, you know why I do that? Because I'm thinking of an idiom. Oh, I've got mine locked and loaded, ready to go. I just don't know how to.

It's, it's. Whisper it to me. It's about being a pussy, basically. Oh, you're kidding. Not that I should use that terminology. No, no, you shouldn't know. About Isabella? No, about being a fucking sook.

Yeah, all right, cool, sook. Well, I don't think you're a sook. I think you're far from it. So just shut up. Jackie. That wasn't the question. I haven't done it yet. Sorry, sorry.

Well, I'll go first. Give me a chance. I'll go first because you seem to be emotional. So? All right, go, Bradley. Count us in. Is it just me or? Should there definitely be an option to opt out of people's close friends on Instagram?

Oh, how did you notice that in me? You recently posted to your close friends for the first time ever. Yeah, I was going to say, I always forget that it's a thing. Yeah, yeah. I can't remember what you posted. Do you remember? No. It was something that I thought, oh, non-offensive.

I wasn't affected by it, but I was happy to know that I was on your close friends because I had theories. Yeah. But I was glad to know that I was on your close friends because I had theories. Yeah. But I was glad to see it in you. I'm not glad to see it in people who I went on one date with or potentially went to school with in 2009. And they go, maybe Isabella just had puree. I don't care what she's eating.

Or when I get people, this is true, and I love this person. You might be on theirs too, Mitchell. So I'm going to tread lightly. I love this person. Are you be on theirs too, Mitchell, so I'm going to tread lightly. I love this person. Are you going to name a shame? No, I'm not going to name a shame. But they post nudes to their close friends. What?

And I work with this person. Maybe you're not on their close friends. Can you tell me and I'll get rid of it? Cut it. No, you know what? Keep it in. Amanda Keller. They post on their close friends nudes.

And it's not like full frontal nudity, but it's us. It's undies. It's I'm really feeling myself. It's content that I'm all for, right? Pro body. Yeah, yeah, of course. You feel hot. Good, good, good.

But the issue with stories are, right, you follow a person and you go, I'm following, I'm subscribing. I know I'm going to get their content. But close friends, you don't opt in for. You have no choice. You see that content whether you like it or not. You can't hit the three dots and go, remove me from close friends. You have to see it.

You actually can, though, if you want to. I just Googled it. Yeah, show me. It literally says, is it possible to leave someone's close friends list on Instagram? You're kidding. And apparently, yes, it's possible. You go to their profile. Yeah.

Tap on the close friends icon. It looks like a green star on their profile. It's not on there. What about the follow button? Close friends. Yeah, and then if you click that, you should be able to remove yourself. No, she's in mine. Oh.

She's adding from mine. You can't opt out of close friends. Oh, well, then Google's telling fucking fibs. Yeah, you can't do it on the left. You are stuck in someone's close friends list. You know what I find weird about close friends stories? Yeah. Some of the things you post to your close friends,

I'm like, what is he hiding? What do you mean? I'm like, that's funny. That can go to the public. There's no reason that that should be hidden just for close friends. Well, sometimes it's like work stuff, and I've got all my bosses that follow me, and I'm the idiot that lets bosses follow me.

You can just mute particular people. I know, but Mitchell, you know, you and I have been caught out where we've muted. Have we? Yes. Remember we've muted people from work years ago when someone's mum saw it? Maybe it was a personal. I don't remember that at all.

I remember something similar. Oh, no, I do remember that. Our boss's daughter followed us or something. We didn't realise. Wife. And she said, oh, honey, look what they're doing. And he's like, I can't see that. She was like, oh, this is hysterical.

Have you seen this post from the couple of midgets? Have a look. And he goes, oh, I'll go have a look on my phone. Oh, why isn't it turning up? And he texts me. He was like, mate, why can't I see this page? I'm like, oh, my. I was at your house.

I reckon you buckled under pressure and went, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it yet. Mate, I'll get you my contact on Instagram. Something's going on. I tailor my close friends depending on what I'm posting. Oh, tell me. Explain. Like if I'm posting something, I don't depending on what I'm posting. Oh, tell me. Explain. Like if I'm posting something, I don't know, then I'm like, oh, my old colleagues, it's

an in-joke with them. I'll post that and then put them in the close friends. And you remove them on a need-to-do basis? Yeah. Oh, Mitchell, that's exhausting. Because I don't want people like you bitching about, I don't want to be on their close friends. I don't care about this. Wait, so you've posted close friends that I haven't seen?

I reckon you're pretty much in there because you are like the Venn diagram. You're in all of them. Yeah, you're right. I've never seen any of your close friends. I don't care about this. Wait, so you've posted close friends that I haven't seen. I reckon you're pretty much in there because you are like the Venn diagram. You're in all of them. Yeah, you're right. I've never seen any of your close friends stuff. I genuinely don't post that much, Jenna. I swear you're on it, though. No, this was maybe weeks ago

I saw Mitch's close friends and I was like, Isabella or something. Oh, Isabella. No, I post her publicly. I'm so proud. I don't know. I seriously don't remember what it was

because I thought to myself, same thing you think when I post. I was like, post this on your main. I just didn't feel like it was because I thought to myself, same thing you think when I post. I was like, post this on your main. I just didn't feel like it was in there. Right. Maybe I did it by accident. Who fucking knows? In the early days with Steven, I was posting photos of him on close friends.

That's what it's good for. And then I post memes or hate comments. People send me comments and I always name and shame them. Why don't you post that publicly? That's a scream. You should. And you'll get the fucking validation you want from everyone applying to you being like, don't listen, babe.

You're wonderful. Yeah, they do say that, don't they? Yeah, they do. Oh, you know I've had a bad day when I'm posting those kind of comments. I love posting hate comments because I clap back at them. I don't post it for like attention or for praise. You know what I did the other day? What?

It was so embarrassing. Yeah. I can't believe I'm admitting this. But, you know, influencing work is real work. I wanted to do a Q&A and I was i was like oh i need to kickstart it so i messaged myself off a different account that i have right and it was a simple question that i get asked all the time but i don't want to scroll through my feed to find one everyone's like are you still doing hot girl walks i get asked that all the time oh but i like couldn't i you can't

like search a keyword so i'll just i'll just message myself from the pickup or something so is it just an instagram story and you put the q a feature yeah but i screenshot the dm but i forgot to rub out the profile picture who was it the pickup are you still doing hot girl works lovely love listening to you i think about that often whenever you put up a post of yours it could just be you trying to show off your fucking thigh muscles. Oh, yes. They're very good. Someone, someone, it's hard to say who,

someone will comment off the couple of Mitch's account, love hard eyes emojis. Oh, yeah, all the time. And I'm like, I wonder who that was. Oh, that's me. Oh, but that's a joke. That's public. I'm doing that on purpose.

Okay, okay. Because I was like, we are very transparent about the fact that we don't have a team behind this. It's not like our social media intern, Jeanette, fucking commented that. It was you just gassing yourself up. Don't lie. You know Jeanette's wanted to fuck me for years. Jeanette's a cougar from way back.

100%. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Now, before I fucking tell you what's coming up on Wednesday's episode, can I be self-indulgent and plug my own shit for a sec? Go for it, yeah. I'm doing encore comedy shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Congratulations.

So it's probably the Elton John tour where he just, fuck, he's on the farewell tour for years now. This could be the last time I ever do water off a duck's cleat in Sydney and Melbourne. Oh, wow. Why are you doing the encore shows? Increased demand. Well, pretty much because it's been 12 months since I performed them in Sydney and Melbourne. And I've had a lot of people start following me in the last 12 months.

Since, yeah. And they've been asking, oh, come to Sydney, come to Melbourne. And I was like, dude, I've already fucking done the show there. Yeah. But even having said that, anyone who was there in Sydney or Melbourne fucking last year, I dare you, I dare you to recite it word for word. That's true. I bet you don't remember the show exactly as it was.

I was there and I forget it. Yeah, so maybe you should come along again. I'll come. In Sydney, it's June 8th, which as we've established is not Jenna's birthday. No. I literally thought to myself, oh, it's Jenna's birthday. And Sean was the one that went, no, it's not. Oh, I love Sean.

So June 8th in Sydney, May 25 in Melbourne. Oh, May's coming up soon. Yeah. How exciting. Not too far away. All right, where can people get the tickets? Link in bio on my Instagram. Yep.

Also, it's not confirmed yet, so I really shouldn't say anything, but probably 99.9% doing Darwin. Oh, wow. Late June. The top end. Late June. Wow. That's exciting. Darwin. Oh, wow. Late June. The top end. Late June. Wow. That's exciting.

Yes. That's cool. But it just so happens that it'll be right after my fucking Bali holiday. Oh, that's fine. You'll have stories. I'm flying from Bali to Darwin. Oh, wow. That's genuinely very stressful.

Not really. It's only a two-hour flight. From Bali to Darwin? Yeah. It means I don't have to do the fucking red-eye back to Sydney, thank God. That's true, actually. Yeah. I'll fucking pay on that. I forget that. Bali's so far up. Yeah. That's it. It means I don't have to do the fucking red eye back to Sydney, thank God. That's true, actually. Yeah. I'll fucking pay on that.

I forget that. Bali's so far up. It says Darwin. It's like two and a half hours or something. Well, exciting. Encore tickets available. Yay! Congratulations.

By the way, you mentioned that May's coming to an end. Yeah. We're approaching the due date, your deadline. Oh, the Fadan date. Yes. I didn't forget because I've been emailing her back and forth. Oh, good. You've been emailing back and forth for baths.

There's three emails. That's going to be in because I've been emailing her back and forth. Oh, good. You've been emailing back and forth for baths. There's three emails. That's going to be the new swear jar. Emailing back and forth. What does that even mean? She's a lawyer. She's got a full-time job and she TikToks. Oh, my God. She could have sorted this thing.

You've also made that argument before. So I said May 14, Fadan, get her on as a guest because you've been talking about it, talking about it, hyping up this TikTok star, getting her on as a guest. And the reply we keep getting is emailing back and forth and she's a lawyer. Well, is she available or not? Let's get it for done and dusted. I don't want to hear about it anymore.

You know who we should get back on the show? Who? Fadami Im. Anyway, do you reckon you could get her next week or the following week for done? Probably the following. for Darn? Probably the following. I don't want to book her in in a week and say, I've got to give her the notice.

She's a lawyer. She's a lawyer. You've been giving her notice since January. I'm so confused. I don't really know what's going on. I think I'm emailing a chat bot. I think it's FB. If you're emailing back and forth, could I have a look at the thread? I can pick this up.

Absolutely not. No, it's fine. Just circle me in. No, I'm not looping you in. Jenna, I'll loop you in before I loop him in. Okay. There's not been any emails. I can show you the emails. No, it's fine. Just circle me in and then I'll... No, I'm not looping you in. Jenna, I'll loop you in before I loop him in. Okay. There's not been any emails. I can show you the emails.

That's what I ask. There is an email. 14th of August record. That's what we're currently discussing. Oh. August. Yeah, so I've really missed the mark. Yeah.

Because I thought it was May 14th. You said, I guarantee I can get locked in by then. No, then you said the week after next. Locked in by then or the 14th of August. Oh, fuck. Here we go. She's very busy. She can't just come at the drop of a hat.

She's got two big kids and she's got two cats and a dog. Well, do you know what? Maybe we just won't do it. No, the people want it. Because you said, oh, I can make it happen. It'll happen. I can make it happen. And now you keep saying, I can't.

She's got kids. Well, it's not like we're stressed for content. It's not about stress for content. It's about the fact we're talking about it for ages. Let can make it happen. And now you keep saying, I can't. She's got kids. Well, it's not like we're stressed for content. It's not about stress for content. It's about the fact we're talking about it for ages. Let's get it done. It's a real solid hook, everyone. Speaking of solid hooks, Mitchell, I really want to hear about what's upset you. Your region.

Should I say what's on Wednesday's episode? Or should this be a lucky dip for everyone? That's a good point. No, you're probably right. I was just segueing in naturally. Talkback tings and Will It Cream. There you go. Should we get into my itch-em?

Yeah, Will It Cream is easy. I had a really dirty joke. Go on, please. No, no, no. Please. I don't want it. Do it. Well, Will It Cream is the continuation on from Jenna choosing between our sperm.

And Mitch and I, well, we cream. And Jenna gets to pick based on viscosity. Oh, that is failure right. I wish I hadn't let you say that. I think I'd make more. I really do. I fail to see how that's a flex. More competition.

There's more semen to fight it out to be the strongest. Have you ever heard less is more? You only need one solid swimmer to crack through the egg and then you're set. That's true. Let's get an IVF. You don't want it to overflare. Oh, my. What, Jenna's uterus.

Oh, fuck. I've lowered myself to your level. Sorry, sir. I'll rise above it all. Will It Cream is happening on Wednesday, so that is a continuation on me being a ninja and all my ninjas listening because, oh, my God, the groundswell of people messaging me at the pickup is a ninja. It's going to happen.

That was funny. Thank you. I'm creating two ninja creamy, creamy bowls of ice cream. DIY ice cream. DIY ice cream for the two of you. Originally, we were going to pick what ice cream it was, but forget that. You've decided to surprise us. I've catered based on two of your loves in life.

Okay. I've creamed Isabella. And I've creamed Conniffin. Connie. Do you reckon we could use the ninja creamy to make cat food ice cream? Isabella's been a bit fussy lately. Maybe I'll just cream it and see if she prefers it that way. Sorry, but just saying maybe I'll cream it is disgusting.

Anyway, that's coming up on Wednesday. Cheery's doing surprise ice cream for us. I suspect he may be fucking with us after the whole will it blend thing. I know. It's not going to be some putrid concoction, is it? No. I'm trusting you here. Anything in ice cream form is delishiana.

And also, once it's all blended and whipped and creamed, you won't know the difference. It's delicious. I promise, I promise, hand on heart. You don't have your hand on your heart. Oh, sorry. Hand on heart? I said hand on heart, not hand on man boob.

Sorry. They're a bit lower down now. That's the problem because they've sagged. Hand on heart. What said hand on heart, not hand on man boob. Sorry. They're a bit lower down now. That's the problem because they've sagged. Hand on heart. What ingredients do I love? I know you, Jase. What's your name? Jase.

Jenna. I know you. Okay. Well, that's coming up on Wednesday as well as Talk Back Tings. Let's move on. Correct. Bradley. Are you ready for my issue?

Yeah, yeah. Let's go. All right. Is it just me or? Do some things still make you cry like a fucking baby? Oh, my God. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. It depends. There's just some things in life that take you right back to being a child and you react the same way you would as a child. Yeah. What's happened recently? Well, a few things, but I saw this TikTok yesterday.

Do you know Nikki Porter? Nikki Porter. I reckon you'd know if you saw her. She's a gorgeous friend of mine. She posted this on TikTok yesterday. She was in tears after something happened that I believe would normally only upset a child. Yes. But I'm not saying this is a childish reaction. I'm with her 100%. I back her reaction. Okay, yeah, show me. Have a look. I'm having a cry because I was on a run and I didn't see like a step and I slipped and you can't really see, like it doesn't look like much

but I like hit the ground really hard, like I really hit my knees. Don't you want to give her a cuddle? Yeah. I love the fact that it hurts. I'm like so disappointed in myself and I'm really worried about what this means for my half marathon. Suddenly it's less relatable talking about a marathon. And I'm even more hurt.

I'm probably just being dramatic, but, like, it really hurt. Can you see people, someone fall down and, like, not even ask if they were right? Like, all these people just kept walking. That's bad, actually. See what I mean? No, that's really sad, actually. Oh, my God, that makes me want to cry. No, that reminds me of when I was on the bus one day and we were passing a bus stop and

I saw this lady full on fall over and nobody took any notice and it made me cry. Made you cry? Yeah. I was like, no, I hope she knows that people are looking out for her. I would help if I could, but I'm on the bus. Yeah. See, I feel like if I were to trip over and not just like a little stumble, like a trip

where I actually grazed my hand or something, I would instantly just be teleported back to life as a child and I would cry and be like, oh, that's how I'd react. No, I'm with you. I cry a lot, but I'm like an emotional sook. Like I will cry on TV. I'll cry listening to podcasts. I'll cry watching TikToks. I cried watching TikTok.

I saw you get not teary, but like glassy while watching that just there, Nikki's TikTok. Yeah. Laura Byrne, my co-host on The Pickup, Laura, cried on the show this week and I cried watching your TikTok. I saw you get not teary but like glassy while watching that just there, Nikki's TikTok. Yeah, Laura Byrne, my co-host on The Pickup, Laura, cried on the show this week and I cried as well. I cried my eyes out. Really? Yeah, just sad. Is that when the snake came in? Yes, it was when Brittany returned from the jungle.

We were so off her. But I know I love a good cry, but you're right, like sometimes. I don't know if it's like a full proper cry, but I'm talking about things as a kid that you cry about, that you grow out of. And then I reckon as you're an adult, just go full is it 360 yeah yeah that's right yeah I was never any good at maths as you know it's a full 360 it's a full 360 where you just go back to that's your reaction like something as simple as stubbing my toe yeah I don't know if it's a full cry but I

definitely do like a yeah like a whimper yes a whimper. I whimper a lot. Like if I cut my finger or something. As a child, you'd fucking cry about that, right? Yeah. Even now, as an adult, I'll be like... Yeah, but we can't, can we? We're conditioned to not cry. Bullshit, I disagree. I'm all for it. You think more adults should cry? Yeah. Just whinge about things that

perhaps certain children would have been told, oh, stop crying, don't be such a baby. As you're growing up, you're conditioned not to cry about these things. But just have a whinge. If it was an ouchie, acknowledge the ouchie. Yeah, I agree. When was the last time you cried?

Do you remember? Yeah, I do. What was it? What? Again, it wasn't a cry. It was just a bit of a whinge. Yeah. I reckon it has less to do with what actually happened and more to do with the fact that sometimes you just get so sick of adulting.

I hate that word, but you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Having to fend for yourself all the time. It's tough. Like, I'd just fucking done my washing and cooked lunch for myself, cleaned the house, blah, blah, blah. It's exhausting. Doing all these adult things on my own, fending for my fucking self.

And then I went for a bike ride and I sort of tripped a bit and fell into the bike and I gave myself a mad bruise on the leg. And I just, as a child would, I just went, I was kind of thinking, mum, look at this. I wore long pants today so that people don't think I was bashed. Look. Tell me. Oh, Mitchell, that's horrific. That's a fucking bruise and a half.

That deserves more than a whimper. Right? It hurts. Probably get that checked. It fucking hurts. Yeah, I'm the same. If I ever stub my toe, it brings me to tears. It really upsets me.

Also, I think it's quite cathartic to just have a cry. Like, it really kind of gets up all sort of pent emotion out. Jenna, a whimper is kind of on brand for you. Yeah. Yeah, like the last time I cried was probably last night when I watched a TikTok video of a cat getting old. See, I feel like that's a normal thing for an adult to cry about. I'm talking about things that kids, like, Jenna, what if I just snatched a drink bottle

off you? Nasty, that gives me the ick. The snatching thing, though, like, what if, Cheery, if someone robbed you, they grabbed your phone, walking on the street, they just came up behind you, grabbed the phone, and then piss bolted. Yeah. I reckon, oh, it's hard to say how I'd react. I reckon at first my fight or flight would kick in.

Yeah, I was thinking that. And I'd fucking run after them, be like, oi, give it back here. Yeah. But then if I didn't catch them, that's when I would go back to my inner child and be like, they took my phone. I didn't say they could have a turn. Nah, see, to me, an adult chucking any sort of tantrum or crying is the instant. I hate it.

Even hearing that, I'm like. You were just getting glassy-eyed at poor Nikki after she tripped. Yeah, but that's different. That's like, oh, maybe it's in person. I don't know. If I saw that on the street, I'd be like, what is shit wrong with her? But watching it in content... If you were sitting on a bus like Jenna and you saw someone steal my phone

and then me start to whimper, I went, just steal my phone. You'd feel bad, wouldn't you? You wouldn't go, shut up! Ew! Ick! I wouldn't say ick. To watch you visibly be grabbed and your phone taken, I would cackle. You are an awful person. As if you wouldn't laugh. If you were on the bus and you saw. I absolutely would not laugh.

There was no danger at all. And someone's phone was snatched in front of you, you would not laugh? I would not laugh. No. If you're on a bus. I reckon, again, my flight or flight would kick in. I'd be like, pull over, drive up. I've got a citizen's arrest to make.

I'd be like, do you have CCTV on this damn thing? I want to post that on TikTok. That's funny. Oh, you're dreadful. Okay, what about that viral video of that old lady who was standing outside like a cafe and the roller door was down and it was in the morning and they opened the roller door from the inside and her jacket got caught on it. Oh, and then she went running up in the air.

Hilarious. No, I felt awful for her. Oh, I thought that was the funniest thing in the world. That's sad. See, different strokes for different folks, I guess. No one was hurt. Maybe you're a psychopath. True.

Which is defined by no fucking empathy. I have so much empathy. I'm very empathetic. Lots of old women. Yes. No, it could be old anyone. Of course I am empathetic. Lots of old women. Yes. No, it could be an old anyone. Of course I am empathetic. She wasn't hurt.

You know what? She'd be at dinner now with all the girls and Beavis and Eunice and Dorothy would be laughing. It would have given her such a fright. Of course it would. In that moment, oh, I hope she's all right. She could have PTSD from that. I would. What, PTSD of roller doors?

Yeah. You can't go to Kennard Self Storage ever again in your life then. It'd be terrible. Anyway. Nikki just, she tripped over and no one helped her. I would cry too. I would not cry. Really?

Why? Not even a whimper? On a scale of whimper to blubber, where are you sitting? You know I get really mad easily. So I feel like I get mad at myself. I'm like, you idiot. Oh, that's not very nice. Don't do that to yourself. I know. I get mad at myself. I'm like, you idiot. Oh, that's not very nice. Don't do that to yourself.

I know. I'm sorry. Well, how would child Mitchell react if someone said, oh, you idiot? That's to you. See, that trend does nothing for me. When people go, when you're mean to yourself, you're also mean to the baby version of yourself. Well, the baby version of myself needed a right talking to. He needed to be sat down and told you too much.

I enjoy the sentiment of, oh, just treat yourself how you would treat your child to itself, but also you're right, I was fucking annoying. Yes, I was like, you said this before. I probably need to be pulled into line a bit. I feel like slapping my child. No, we don't slap, Gina. No, you don't slap people.

Tapping. Scalding. Your gentle parents. Spraying them with a bottle of water. I was so proud the other day, because you know how my sister is not like me in the sense that she swears heaps. Yeah. She told me that she accidentally dropped an F-bomb around Anna for the first time. Oh, no.

How old is Anna? Because she's really good, Nicole, with like being very patient with them. More fucking patience than I would ever have. Good for her, yeah. And she was trying to brush her hair and just after all of this carry on, eventually just went, for fuck's sake, Anna. Oh, she said it at Hannah. Yeah, at Hannah.

Oh, not Hannah. Sorry, it did sound like you just said Hannah, sorry. And I was like, brother, I never hear you swear, let alone in front of a child. That was my friend who was like, you know, we need to teach boys from a young age to respect women. I mean, it's a discussion that's happening in this country at the moment. Great discussion to have.

But she was like, my dad as a kid used to get my brothers and throttle them around the neck and say, don't hit women. I'm like, I don't think that's actually. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, that's kind of counterintuitive. Now you tell them, yeah, you tell them exactly why. I don't know. I don't think I should be talking about parenting.

I don't know how to parent a kid. I think it'd be very stressful. Mitchell and I will soon know. Yeah, this is going to be our reality quite soon. And I mean, we're going to have to toe the line when Jaquavius cries. Yeah. Of like, let it out. This is valid. Or you're just

being a brat. Shut the fuck up. It would be hard. It would be hard. I think it would be hard. It will be hard, but we can do it. Would I at least be godfather? No. Well, I don't even know if we'll do the godparent thing because we might not want to get the child baptized. You don't have to baptize it to have godparents, do you?

I mean, you can just do it for a funny thing between friends. Yeah, you're the godfather without having anything official done. Legally done. I don't even know if it's legally binding, godparents. No, I mean, it's not legally binding, but in the old church days, it's if anything happened to the parents, you were raised by them. I don't want them to be baptized at this point. No.

Good call. If we did, we'd do it on the show. Yeah. Absolutely. Will it dunk? Just an infant. No do it on the show. Absolutely. Will it dunk? Just an infant. No, it didn't dunk. Bounced right back up.

Yeah. Is this another hectic, deep, confessional, great yarn of an idjim? No. No? No. This one's not. Okay. It's a thought. Something she's noticed.

Well, look, we welcome that, too. Maybe I'm just going to slip in. I'm just going to Google really deep questions to ask. So, mid-idjim, even though hers isn't that deep, I'll make it deep. Oh, you're really into your deep era. You've been watching Oprah. Well, I've been enjoying her idgims so far. They have been very good.

They have? They've been very deep. I'm not saying I won't. Who is this person? This is Chloe. Chloe from where? Chloe from Yarram, a small town in Victoria. Yarram.

Yeah. I'm not saying this won't be enjoyable, but I'll get some deep shit out of it. She's winning this exclusive tote bag. Well, if she answers the phone, she will. So you've got a deep question for her, Mitchell. I'll find something. I'll just Google it. Anyone who hasn't gotten their prize, by the way, remind Jenna.

It's fine. Just DM Jenna. Yes. Our Instagram. Don't lie. Chloe's in Yarram. Hello. Chloe, it's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.

Hello. How are you? Always, Mitch and Jenna. Hello. How are you? Always so good. How are you? You're an idiot, yes? Yes, I am, yep. I would hope so. Yay.

What have we stopped you doing? Where are you? What's happening? I'm in class. Well, not in class at the moment, but teaching. Oh, you're a teacher. I was going to say, students aren't allowed to use their phones since the fuck winter teachers.

Or have you slipped out? I know. And they're only preps, too. fuck winter teaches. Or have you slipped out? I know. And they're only preps too. Prep one. What does that mean? Prep? Year one. Yeah.

Like foundation. Like little kids. Like kindergarten? I think New South Wales call it kindergarten. But yeah, the first year of school. I did not know they had different words for it. Foundation is funny, isn't it? What year are you in?

Foundation. Concealer. Yeah. Well, Chloe, you've got an e-gym, do you? Yes, I do have an e-gym. Okay. Well, listen, you've heard the show, I'm sure. Bradley will count you in, and then you hit us with what it is, okay?

Okay. All right. Let's go. Is it just me, or? Sometimes you're too lazy to turn the light on when you go to the toilet So you end up just peeing in the dark That is an Ijeoma I like That's a thief No, not just you, I definitely do that, Chloe

Oh my god, Chloe, I've done that so many times and I've got piss all over the floor Oh, yeah Sometimes you just think, why don't I just turn the light on? Why don't I just do that? Because it hurts, it's jarring when you've been asleep and then you turn the light on in the middle of the night. Yeah, I've got a theory that if you turn the light on while you've gone to pee in the middle of the night, it takes you longer to fall back asleep. I agree.

It's true. Yeah, that's my theory as well. But I also do it when I haven't been asleep and it's just a dark house and I'm just too late to turn the light on. In the middle of the day when there's no lights on. No. With muscle memory, you'd figure out your way around the house eventually. No, but I'm with you. Yeah, that's right.

If you do a poo and you're in there for a while, lights on. But if you're doing a quick wee, no need for lights. I'm going to be in there for 20 seconds. Yeah, I'm with you on that. No, I get that. Yeah. So who in your family do you struggle with, Chloe? Oh, God.

What do you mean? Just wondering. Chloe, Mitchell's on this thing where he wants all his just used to be dramatic. He wants deep. Not dramatic, just like deep. He wants them to go deep. Meaty. You know how the last two episodes.

Yeah, the last one was real deep. Like the cheating one. Yeah. Well, light and shade, you know. We want to do yin and yang. So, I thought this one was a nice, you know, we could talk about bathroom behaviours. No, no. I'm with you, I'm with you but we've done that. Chloe, what are your current priorities in this season of your life and why?

I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm pretty boring. Like I just live in a small town. I'm just a teacher and that's all. Okay, how old are you? 26. When you were a kid, did. I'm just a teacher and that's all. Okay. How old are you? 26. When you were a kid, did you want to be a teacher? No. What did you want to be? I don't know. I don't know.

Interesting. Very boring. Sorry. How did you feel about where you grew up? What? Sorry, Tunnel. Mitchell! Bye.

That's awful. She's gone. She's small town Yarram. Oh, no. She's teaching concealer kids all day. This goes back to our debate about the thwerger. I said sorry, Tunnel. You technically hung up on her, though.

Your finger did that. Mitchell, how could you? Oh, Mitch. If the President of the United States says, bomb Australia. Could you bomb that country for me, please? Who's at fault? No, you're right. The President or the person that presses fire?

I can't believe you see me as President. That's not the analogy. Not the analogy. No, Chloe, if you're listening, I'm just fucking with you, darling. We love you a lot. We love you. Make sure you get your prize off Jennifer. And Chloe, the first recipient of the Totally Tote bag.

Gorgeous. If she wants us to sign it, we could sign like the limited edition. We could sign the back of it. Or is that obnoxious? I've just packed it up. Imagine if she goes, oh, God, it's all graffitied. I agree. We won't do it.

If you want us to, Chloe, we will. But it's really up to you. All right. You can, of course, like we've already said, DM us a couple of inches. We'd love to hear whatever it is. I'm just stirring, Chloe. It can be whatever you like. But the deep ones are good.

We do like the deep ones. What about something along the lines of, have you ever saved someone's life? Oh, that could be dramatic. Or your near-death experience? Okay. Oh, I like that. I'm giving the number again. That's what I want to hear.

All right. Here. 422-948-202. 422-948-202. Send us a text. Near-death experiences. NDEs. If it's not too triggering to talk about, send us a text or a DM. NDEs.

Yeah, if you are happy to come on the show, let us know. It's going to be deep. I like it. We'll see how we go next Is it just me Monday Yeah correct In the meantime We better go Haven't we

Yeah it's time to go Let's go Let's leave the show Thanks for listening idiot As per usual Update on Jenna's Hydroflask by the way She still carries around

That gasoline tank every day I thought you'd give up Jenna But you've got it here No It's too late Okay going back to The crying thing If someone stole that

From you in the street Surely you'd be a bit worked up. You'd whimper. Absolutely. Even if somebody took it and threw it on the ground. That's just straight up bullying. Yeah, I would cry. I would cry even if somebody pushed it.

Oh, Jenna, come on. You're teeing me up. Do it, Mitchell. No, please don't. No, I'm not an arsehole. Oh, shit. I thought we were on the same page there. Don't. I slipped. All right, let's go. No, I'm not an arsehole. Oh, shit. So I thought we were on the same page there. Don't.

I slipped. All right, let's go. We're getting unhinged. I feel really bad now. Look at Jenna. The sadness in her eyes just now. I just drink little plastic ones. Not very good for the environment, Mandy.

Yeah, do you hate the planet? Who the fuck is Mandy? That was a Kath and Kim joke. Oh, no. I really think that our podcast would be so different if you guys understood my Captain Kim humour. Oh, I understand. Like, there's so much that slips through the cracks and then listeners will message me and go,

oh, I got it, don't worry. It's all right. But I make jokes as well that you two don't understand. Yeah, you're right, because most jokes that I'm used to have punchlines. Yeah, your mum kind of go on a waffle. They're more short stories, narratives of such. Nonsense.

Yeah, some would say. Go, let's go. Go. Go. Go to you. All right, bye. See you of such. Nonsense. Yes, I would say. Go. Let's go. Go. Go. Go to you. All right. Bye. See you, everyone.

See you in a couple of days. Will it be the creamier of it all? I forgot. See you. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.

Welcome to A to Debrief, our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it's not. Hopefully people don't listen to this because we really just go a bit rogue and talk absolute nonsense half the time. We do. We do get a bit of gold in here sometimes. It really just depends. It's like gold panning in Bathurst. On Mount Panorama.

So you have been. I have been. Have we spoken about this on the podcast, that fucking ad where that guy's ringing a bell, buying old jewellery, buying old jewellery. Have we spoken? I know it, but I don't think we've spoken about it. Buying old jewellery, buying old jewellery. I always thought that that, because they aired that in the Central West and you'd have to

drop it somewhere in Darbo. I always thought that was a local business and that was their ad. But then I kept seeing the ad in Sydney. I was like, oh my God, it's following me. It's in the big smoke. And here you drop it off at like Westfield? I think maybe Town Hall or something. Yeah. It's a nice way to do it actually.

More companies should advertise with an old man and a bell. It's very active. Very, very effective. In black and white. Totally. What companies could use that tactic? Any of them. Make a wish.

Donate to children. Donate to children. That's roving reporters Oscar's next assignment. Just walk around with the bell. Oh, my God. Listen to Wizard Just Me. Oh, my God. And we have his mic on the whole episode.

And every so often we just turn it back on to make sure he's still chanting. Yeah. And if we catch him not chanting, he's fired. He's fired, yeah. Yeah, all right. Cool. I like that. That's a really good idea.

That's a great plan. I actually recently raided. It was my mum's birthday on the weekend. And I raided all of her old jewellery. In fact, I. I like that. That's a really good idea. That's a great plan. I actually recently raided, it was my mum's birthday on the weekend, and I raided all of her old jewellery. In fact, I'm wearing one now. She's got this like- Did she ask you to do that? No, I bought her a jewellery cleaner for her birthday.

Oh. Yeah. And we got her a Swarovski tennis bracelet. She loved it. She's like, I want to start cleaning my jewellery. So we got her an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner. Oh my God, my rings have never been cleaner, Mitchell. It's so good.

Where did you get that from? eBay. I just bought it. It was like 50 bucks. Oh, my God. My rings have never been cleaner, Mitchell. It's so good. Where did you get that from? eBay. I just bought it. It was like 50 bucks. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Anyway, I stole so much of my mum's jewellery and a lot of it's actual gold. I'm like, oh, nice.

Shit. Maybe I should raid Jane's stuff. You should because it's all back in fashion. And also, I reckon she would have owned some of them so long that she'd just forget about it. She wouldn't notice it was missing. Same as Michelle Cherry. Yeah, I just raided it. I don't know if we should be encouraging this, just burgling our mum's heirlooms.

No, I think there was one, she's like, that's Nen's ring. Nen gave that to me. I'm like, oh. Speaking of adults crying, I made my grandmother cry once because I accidentally broke this like silver jewellery dish. You know what I mean? It's got a lid on it. Yeah. It's really thick glass, crystal sort of looking. And I accidentally broke

the lid and she actually cried. Oh, no. And I was asking, I was like, sorry, sorry, what's the significance of it? She wouldn't tell me. I'm assuming it must have been some sort of family heirloom or something. Oh, no. Now she's got dementia. She would have forgotten.

It's all good. Knowing grandmas, she's probably. I bet she's probably. That's the one thing she remembers. Can't remember your name, but she knows you smashed that crystal jewelry lid. With her dementia, her latest thing is that she's accusing my mum of stealing her blue sheets. Oh, yeah. They go through that.

And she's like, I've never seen blue sheets, Nita. Yeah, that happens. But she got so vicious about it. She's like, you stole those fucking blue sheets. And Jane's like, why would I want your blue sheets? I know. They get so aggressive. Yeah, they do.

It happens with Nan as well. God, what can you do? Maybe we should get them both in as guests to host the podcast. Oh, my God, can you imagine? People with dementia are the best for each other because they just go around in circles. That would actually be interesting. It would actually be interesting. My poor Nan, Kissy couldn't do it. She would not be able to.

Kissy? Yeah, Nan. With a double I? Like your workplace? No. K-I-S-I. No, K-I-S-S-I-E. Her name's Kissy Calera. Oh, that's right. She was bullied. That rings a bell.

And she changed it to Claire. That rings a bell too. I think we've had this exact conversation. I think we have many conversations. Recently people have been saying, you've had this conversation before, like the whole fish, freshly washed dishes smelling like fish. Yeah, I knew that you'd brought that up at least once, but someone accused you of bringing that up multiple times.

Maybe. Who knows? Who knows? I don't care. Oh, the tuna can was Producer Grace. Oh, no. And was she really confused the next day about what to have for lunch? I bought her dinner to say sorry.

Oh, well, that's good of you. Because when I tell you that that nearly made me cry like a baby, just like the thought of this person coming and going, where'd my tuna go? I swear I had it in the fridge for tomorrow. No, I know. And in my head I was always like, I'll buy another can of tuna. But it was the very next day or the Monday following.

And you don't come in on Friday. No. Yeah. No, but she, another to she, I know. And in my head, I was always like, I'll buy another can of tuna. But it was the very next day or the Monday following. And you don't come in on Friday. No. No. But she, another to she, thank God. But the Monday, she was like, someone's taken my tuna can. I'm like, oh my God, I have to apologize. That's me. So I bought her a porto. So she really made money. Yeah. I mean, I can only feel so sorry for someone that's eating fucking tuna for lunch. Yuck. You know what it was? That's true. Trace deserves better. I agree. It was one of those tuna cans that have the three chilies on the top. Yeah, I could smell it in it. Oh, yeah.

Could you? Yes, I could. Last week was an unhinged episode. Yeah, well, I'll see. The poll is still going from last week's episode, by the way. Should I refresh it and see if anything's changed? By the time this airs, it's going to be set in stone anyway. What a set of stairs.

I just love how we managed to completely put it back on you. Yeah, I know. You were calling me out and I didn't even think of this argument. Jenna was the one that said, no, wait, that means you have to pay the dollar. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to fucking take that point and run with it. Thanks a lot, Jenna. No problem. I learned recently, can I just say, that I'm actually, when it comes to like a debate,

I'm good at arguing shit that I don't necessarily believe. Right. For the sake of a debate, you know? Right. So like Jenna came up with that argument and I was like, yeah, no, I'm going to back this one. Yeah.

Even though I'm technically the one that said it, but still, I think you were liable. I could have kept going in the start of the show, but I think it's just boring and exhausted. Go on. Let's do it. Let's do it. I'm good at debating. Go. Well, I quite clearly did not say it.

So there's legally, there is no grounds. Okay. That's the same argument you've already made. Correct. And the argument stands. Can you not defend it? Well, no, I just don't want to keep going. I don't know.

That's my point. That's what I just said. You said debate. Oh, I thought you had something fresh for me. No, I've got the same point. You said, I could have said more in the opener, but I didn't. Oh, he's got an additional argument. No. No. OJ Simpson got off point. You said, I could have said more in the opener, but I didn't. I said, oh, he's got an additional argument. No.

No. OJ Simpson got off murder. He clearly did it with his one argument about that glove. He just went on about the glove. The glove doesn't fit. The glove doesn't fit. And he got off. He just died.

Good riddance. But in 70 years when I die, everyone will go, he's innocent. Yeah, right. He never. I don't think I ever told you this, but last year when I was in Adelaide for my comedy shows, it was part of Feast Festival, which is kind of like their queer arts and culture festival, right? Feast?

Feast Festival, yes. Not to be confused with the Cheese Festival at the same time as Feast Festival. It could be very confusing in Adelaide at that time of year. So I went down to do my shows and then they asked me if I wanted to take part in the Feast Festival comedy debate, which is kind of like their fucking flagship thing, you know. Feast Festival comedy debate. Yes. Every year that's like their big event.

You know how Sydney Comedy Festival has their fucking gala, the showcase, whatever. They've all got their things. Yeah. Apparently Feast Festival debate is like a big thing every year. They asked me to do it and I was like, sure, I can do that. Didn't realize that I was going to be made team leader. Oh. Oh.

You've done this? Yeah, it already happened. Why don't you talk about this? I am right now. Get off your phone and listen. I'm trying to organize things for the show. It wasn't this last year. Is that for Dan?

Put it on. Not for Dan. Well, this was last year. Yeah, but I never told you about it. Oh, all right. Yeah. So they asked me to do it. Didn't realise I was going to be the team leader.

Yeah. It's like, what is it again, Jenna? Affirmative and the- Negative. Is that it? Yeah, affirmative and negative. Affirmative and negative. There you go.

Thank you. I was listening in on my phone. So I was team leader and the other team, their team leader was Christian Hull. Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes. He's on the boat. And the argument was, we were better off in the closet. Gay pride shouldn't exist.

No one should ever come out. Funny. And I had to argue in favour of that. What does that make me? The affirmative? Yeah, affirmative of the point, yeah. I was team leader of the affirmative at a queer arts festival trying to convince all these queer people in the audience that we were better off in the closet yeah but for comedy like it's everyone knows that it's a joke i guess so but like i had a fucking tough argument on my hand didn't i yeah yeah and so the team

leader comes out and does the first bit like introduces everyone and sums up the main argument so i came out first kristin came out after me and he did like a musical number. Oh, wow. He had one of those pop-up tent things and he's like, I'm in the closet. Let me out. And then started singing, I'm coming out. And I was like, oh my God, he's got props. He's got a musical number. He's going to be such a crowd pleaser. But then the next two speakers on each team say their bit and then Kristen and I have

to come back and have to like have listened intently to the other's argument and debunk it. And so the closing argument is really what's going to get you. And somehow, even though Christian had another musical closing number, I won. Oh, wow. I won. How did you argue it? The gays believed you.

Yeah. What was your argument? Well, we were saying that it's better off in the closet. And I think my argument was, you know what happens when gay culture integrates into mainstream? Hens nuts. We were better off in the closet with our dirty little secret bars that no one will dare step foot into. Yes. And then I said, what else did I say?

I said, you know what happens when gay pride goes too far? Fucking glee. That's what happens. Well said. That's very funny. I can't remember what else it was, but then I had to debunk what everyone else's arguments were. Yeah, right.

Classic debate. But I was just lying through my teeth. Maybe I'm a better liar than I thought. I think so. I think you're a brilliant liar. I've always said that. In the context of a fucking debate, I'll just, no, I'll die on this hill. I'm good at that.

I'll come up with a point and I'll just- You are very good. You are like a dog with a bone. You've got a point to prove or you've got something to say. That's why when Jenna brought up last week, actually, Cheery's liable. Oh, my God, my tail was wagging. That dog with a bone.

I saw that tail and it was wagging. Was it really? It was wagging. But see, I'm like a cat with a ball. I'll just be like, I don't care. Cats don't really play with balls. Well, I don't know. That's how I felt.

I was like, yeah, I'll happily. A cat with a ball. I don't really play with balls. Well, I don't know. That's how I felt. I was like, yeah, I'll happily. Yeah. A cat with a ball. I don't need to win. I didn't think about it until this moment again. I logged off. I really don't. Well, neither did I because the votes speak for themselves.

Yeah, quite clearly. I was just that good at debating. They're held against their will. Maybe I should have done the fucking high school debating team. Yeah, you should have. You should have joined me on history debating. We had a great time. Yeah, it was like conspiracy theorists sitting around going,

nah, that didn't happen. Yeah. Janet, history debating is not real. It doesn't make sense. It was real. That's not real because history is history for a reason. Yeah, well, we debated every sort of history. Give me something in history that I can debunk.

Where the man walked on moon. Oh, I can't debunk that because I just want to believe it. That put Parks on the map, our good dish. Was Parks involved in that? Yeah. With putting man on the moon? Have you not seen the dish? No, we would never have seen the footage of it if not for the Parks dish.

Why? Because I think a big-ass fucking satellite dish was meant to do it overseas, but there were technical issues, maybe a storm. So they were just calling around the globe going, has anyone got a dish? And Parks were like, yeah, I guess. We can use ours. Where do we have to point it?

They pointed it at the moon, and then the pictures beamed around the world. That's such a cool story. I know, right? And fuck me, they still haven't let it down. They have got bloody gift shops and tea towels and everything at the dish. That's how you do it. You milk it. Wait, so I did not know that.

So they've actually helped. Did you go to the dish or am I imagining that? I've never been to the dish. Yeah, okay. I've driven past it, I think. I'm thinking of someone else. No, I did not go to the dish. No, they make it a full thing now.

They've got a cafe. It's a tourist attraction. Wow. I take everyone to the dish because there's not much else to see in my area. Is the dish still happening? What do you mean? Like in operation? It's still dishing. It's a tourist attraction. Wow. I take everyone to the dish because there's not much else to see in my area. Is the dish still happening? What do you mean? In operation? It's still dishing.

It's still dishing? Yes. Still in operation. I don't have any reason to believe otherwise. No, it's still in operation. What a waste of a dish. Yeah. I couldn't agree more.

All right. Shall we end the show? Shall we go? No. It's getting more and more abrupt with you. Well, I just kind of pull it out of nowhere. I have so much more dish chatting. I've actually got none.

But platter chat I could go on for hours. I'll tell you what. The Parks dish is the same as the Opera House in that it needs a scrub. It needs a pressure clean. Oh, you've said this before. Especially today as I was driving in the studio. I was like, fuck that Opera House. It's filthy.

Yeah. The Harbour Bridge as well needs a lick of paint. It's rusted on. It is gross. Oh, that adds to the charm. You think? Yes, that adds to the charm. You think? Yes, that adds to the charm. But it's meant to be white, the opera house.

It's not. No, you're right. It's eggshell. Not even that. You don't reckon it's just browner? Oh, I don't know how. It's just like particularly the top, the corners, like the little peaks. Yeah.

The sharp bits. Yeah. They're brown as fuck. Yeah, no, I agree. I don't understand why they don't clean it. I don't know. It's very hard to. It's curved.

Yeah, but they can find a way. But it's also raining today. You'd think that would help. I know. Maybe just put a helicopter with some... You know how when they do bushfires and they drop the big envelope of water, they just drop some Dawn dish soap on top and wait for it to rain. And then there'll just be bubbles everywhere.

Oh, that'll kill the fish. It'll kill the fish and spill onto the tourists. No, you don't want that. There's so many of them. There's a lot. All right, we should go. I believe so. Again, abrupt.

I've got so much more Opera House chatting. We can keep going. No, that's right. We can go. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. So we do.

Thanks for listening. Catch you on Wednesday for a fan favourite segment. Will it cream? Will it cream? Yay! And will it cream? Of course. Woo! Yeah, will it cream's not a fan favourite segment, Talk Back Ting and Will It Cream. Of course. Yeah, Will It Cream's not a fan favourite yet.
