This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you. Hello you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Did you know this? An apple has the same caffeine as a full one-shot coffee.

Bullshit. Are you serious? Yeah, I'm going to Google it now. What is it? It says there is no caffeine in the house. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you.

Back in our home studio. Back in our main digs. Oh, yeah. How good? Not home studio, because we do have a home studio. We're back in the Pepsi Palace. The Pepsi Palace. I'm lucky that I made it here, frankly.

Why? What's wrong? Because I nearly re-rendered someone's fucking car on the way in traffic. Really? I was distracted because, did you know this? I lost my car keys, right? And then I found the spare key. Yeah.

But when you use a different key to open the car, all your radio presets and shit are gone. Oh, I did not know that. I think it's designed for if it's a husband and wife, let's say. They've got their own key. Depending on who opens the car, it's got all their preferences there. Well, husband and husband as well works. Yeah. Why did I say husband and wife?

I don't know. Don't pander to the heterosexuals. But yeah. And so I had to use a spare key. And so I'm like fiddling around with the radio, trying to put all my presets back in as I was driving. And thank God for that emergency braking thing on my car. Oh, you've got that?

Oh, my God. Oh, and it saved your life? Yeah, pretty much. Don't you hate that though? No, I looked up in time. I would have been able to brake, but yeah, it was helpful having the emergency brake. I've got a full raw dog car. My car has no safety features.

It's got airbags and that's it. So what, yours has sensors that senses if a car's in front of you and you're going too fast, it'll stop for you? Yes, but it sometimes fucks up where if I'm driving up a hill, it goes from flat to up a steep hill, it'll think the hill is a car and just slam the brakes on it because it can see something in front of it. Cars are too smart.

Is it just me on the fly or do we need to just make cars a little dumber? Yes, I agree because I have to argue with my car if I'm merging lanes because it tries to pull me back into line. It's got that lane assist thing. I argue with my car if I'm merging lanes. Oh, my God. Because it tries to pull me back into line. It's got that lane assist thing. I argue with my smart TV. It's so smart. It's like, hi, Mitch, we suggest you watch Seinfeld. I'm like, no, no, no.

I come to my TV knowing what I want to watch. I don't go to a TV going, what do I want to – I know what I'm watching. It's destination viewing. I go on the streaming. I don't want you to suggest shows for me. Yeah, they never get it right. They're like, oh, well, because you enjoy this, you might enjoy that. No, way off.

It's always such a long bow. Yes. Make things dumber, I say. I'm all for that. Just like the trains and shit, remember? I remember that. And you know what? I actually thought to myself, I'm going to go on a train and a bus,

and I'm going to hear this, and I haven't done it. I'm not going to do it. I don't know when the change has come into effect, because I was on the train the other day and they definitely said a light. Oh, really? Yep. And they said terminates. That video went pretty viral and everyone was saying, well, you know, English isn't

everyone's first language and they're big English words. Yes, I understand that. That's why I'm in favour of dumbing down public transport announcements. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why they were making out like we were making fun of them. They were a bit, weren't they? Yeah. It wasn't our choice, guys.

We're just reading the news. Exactly. We're just journalists at the end of the day. It's all we are, Mitchell. Speaking of journalists, our third wheel prize keeper, Jenna. Welcome back. Hi, Jenna. Hello. Where the fuck have you been? Teaching young people. How did that go? Oh my god. It went actually really well.

Like, they loved me. Yeah, if you missed it, last week Jenna was absent because she was teaching the youth of Australia. Was it media? What were you teaching them? Radio. There was a school excursion to the radio station, and Jenna was presenting. And I was like, I can't picture it.

I thought she'd get stage fright. But it was a panel thing, so that makes sense. Yeah, and there were so many podcast questions, and I was the only one on that panel who got bespoke questions directed just at me. So let's just do a demo, Mitch. Why don't we both bring a question? Mitch, and we see how Jenna answers.

What would I ask? Actually, what was one of the questions you were asked? Because I'm more interested in what your fucking answer was. You would have been pulling shit out of your ass. Oh, yeah. How did I get started in radio? You were brought up. Oh, good.

Because I was going to say. I'm the one that said to my manager. You groomed her at the beginning of the career. Excuse me. I said, Mitchell Coombs, he's a TikToker. And all of them were like, ooh, wow. Yeah, I put her forward for a job that was going here. Yeah.

Did you? Did you get the $3,000 referral fee? I did, actually. Did you really? Yeah, I forgot about that. They give you cash if you refer someone, which is hefty. Actually, did we? Yeah, you did.

Because it's only if you stay for like over a year. Yeah, that's right. I was like, don't fucking go anywhere, Jenna. I'm poor. I need the bonus. Did he give you the money? I was supposed to, but they'd changed the rules by the time. I think we ended up splitting it, did we?

No, it was yours. Oh. Did I not give you half? I didn't want half. Oh, that's so nice. Yes, thank you. Did I get brought up? No.

By any of the students? No. None of them. I'll tell you what they found hilarious. You refer to yourself as a couple of Mitches, and they're like, Jenna, did you say bitches? And I'm like, oh, like bitch. Yeah. And I'm like, no, Mitches.

Well, that was kind of the point. That's kind of a gag. They thought that was the funniest thing ever. How old were these people? 15. Okay, that checks out. That's our key demo. That's our humour kind of caps out at 16 years old.

Yeah, they were all like, oh my God. Well, kudos to you, Jenna. Real time. Jenna, I humour kind of caps out at 16 years old. They were all like, oh, my God. Well, kudos to you, Jenna. Well done. Jenna, I've actually got a bone to pick with you while we're at it. So, Mitch, you know how she very rarely agrees to social outings? Yeah. Everything I invite her to, she doesn't come. Yeah.

The excuses get lamer and lamer every time. Yeah. So, I'm away this weekend in Melbourne. And guess who Sean is hanging out with one-on-one? You're joking. Jenna. Yeah. You're hanging with Sean.

Sunday afternoon's going to be fun. What are you doing? We're just grabbing coffee. You know, going to a cafe. And they're not even waiting until I'm back in Sydney. You didn't think to invite me? What? Do you want to come?

Well, this seems a bit weird. It's so random, right? When Sean told me, I was like, what? You're getting Jenna out of the house? She's agreeing to socialise with you, but not me. Although Sean and Jenna have a very similar energy. I can see how it works. Oh, he froths Jenna.

Oh, and I froth Sean. Froth Sean, yeah. You both know when to call it quits early into a night. You're both happily willing. Oh, no, he doesn't. Actually, in his new era. He's going to get Jenna smashed. So where are you going?

Don't know yet. Wow. Don't know yet. How do you feel about this, Mitchell? Well, I was just a bit surprised. I was like, what the fuck? She never agrees to plans with me. I know, but as soon as I saw the message from Sean, I was like, I have to see Sean.

What did he say? Hey, while the cat's away, the dog will play. Yeah. My ice will play. Can you believe it? Behind my back, my boyfriend and my friend. Sean's never reached out to me. But he just likes me better.

Well, clearly. And I like him better. Than either of us. Than anyone on earth. Yeah, sure. Than anyone. I said to Sean, just hypothetically, if I was in town, would I have been invited?

Yeah. And he goes, oh, yes, of course. That goes without saying. I was like, no, it doesn't. It needs to be said. Well, I would have been upset if the three of you hung out without inviting me. Because then that's like. You just like the thrill of rejecting the invite.

No, I wouldn't even have rejected Sundays on my chill day. Would you like to come with us? That's like all the fucking Spice Girls, bar Baby Spice, being invited to a brunch. Didn't that happen? They did the world tour without Prosh. Victoria denied. I don't want to be the Victoria of this podcast. I'm the Mel B. The sassy one. What does that mean?

The sassy one. The one who will say yes to any gig. Yeah. Make up lies about Nick. The one that's a complete and utter liar. You're right. She's about everything. She's just flat out lying.

Jenna would be baby. I've always loved babies. For sure. And Mitchell is sporty. Yeah. Oh, junky, spicy. Are you serious? Excuse the line of like, girl, boy, what's going on?

Very fit, very lean. But the best boy. You might spot her with a needle in her arm in the gutter. Correct. That's us. To a T. Yeah, it's us. All right. Well, if it's your first time we're sitting, that's a great T. arm in the gutter? Correct. That's us. To a T. Yeah, tough. All right.

Well, if it's your first time listening, that's a great T-Gym in a nutshell. We start every episode with an Is It Just Me? Something we hate, notice, or appreciate. I got the order mixed up, but it still stands. Yeah, you put it on shuffle. That was interesting. Yeah, why not? Mitch doesn't know mine.

I don't know Mitch's. That's how it works. It's very easy. Who wants to kick things off today? I can. Okay. Mine is, I'm really sore today because of my eejum. Do I want to know?

No. Mind out of the gutter. I'm not a sexual vulgar person. Why is that so funny? The way you put it back on me. Because I just assumed you were going to be talking about something sexual later, but it's not. I'm trying to pull back. Pull what back?

It's not sexual. My boyfriend and his parents all listen to this show now, and I need utter respect for them. Since when, as of now? Because the smut that comes out of your mouth that they've heard. I was in a different period of my life. I'd never been single. I was trapped.

You've been smutty as of last week? This is not something that you've banished a while ago. I don't know what's ever, but I'm trying to pull back. Okay. Interesting. And I want you to, akin to the hidden girl, if I'm too sexual, I'll happily pay some sort of repatriation. Oh, now we're charging for every time you say something vulgar. Well, every time I say something disgusting, I'll put a dollar in the chat.

I'm talking if I go, I don't know, anal. Excuse me. So you're banning anal chat. This is interesting. I'm not. I'm just saying I want to be held accountable because sometimes I listen back and I go, Jesus, that was a bit much. It does seem to come out of nowhere.

No, I have quite good control over my jackpot. Oh, that counts. Excuse me. Jenna, you're going to have to start tallying this one. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Well, my idiom is about one of your favourite topics of all time. Yeah.

Fast food. Well, not really anymore. I'm kind of... Nah, fuck it. I still like fast food. Yeah, I was going to say, don't be ridiculous. I'm such a liar. Well, ours are real polar opposites.

Okay, well, you go first. I'll go first and then you can hit us after. Sure, let's go. Here we go. Go, Bradley. Is it just me or? Are you also in your Pilates era? Oh, well, yes, I am.

I've made no secret of that. You're out of your Pilates. No, no, you both are out of it. Out of it? Yeah, you guys had your Pilates era. No, I'm in my Pilates era. Yeah, I'm still going. You don't talk about it.

Well, because it's possible to do something without making it your whole personality. I don't talk about it. You're going to have to write that down. I'm not across that being something people do. I'm doing the Cakes 3 Challenge. Who? The Cakes 3 Challenge. Shit, I've been doing that every day of my life.

Three crumpets every morning. Pilates Challenge. Well, what does it entail? Just doing four classes a week. Well, I'm doing two to start. Wait, what? Yeah, I've signed, I'm doing two to start. Wait, what? Yeah, I've signed. I'm a Pilates boy.

Oh. I've done three this week and I am so sore. But remember we did hobby hunts and I was trying to convert you into your Pilates era and you were like, nah, not for me. Yeah, but if I did it too close to that, then you've got the gratification of winning. I'm still taking it. I needed to pull. Well, you got me into bar.

Yeah, you're right. There is a bit of a difference. Because bar Pilates, you can explain, is when you stand at the bar. Well, that's me into barre. Yeah, you're right. There is a bit of a difference. Because barre Pilates, you can explain, is when you stand at the barre. Well, that's part of it. It's very similar to a mat Pilates class, but it incorporates elements of ballet with the plies and shit. Correct. Which are great for your leg strength. And you stand in front of the mirror and you've got the balls and the pads and everything.

That's only a portion of the class, all that ballet-related shit. A lot of it is just down in the mat, standard Pilates. Right. Well, I'm doing reformer Pilates. Oh, you would. Yeah, that's what I do. Yeah, it's on the bed. Yeah.

Oh, my God. Pussies. No, I went to the first class with my mum, and I'm paying full price. In-life Pilates, is it like there's clubs everywhere? Do you know that you do that one in life? No, I do KX. Okay. I'm a scout girl, you know.

All right, so scout, in-life, KKX. KKX. I think I've watched some porn on. She goes to KKK. Okay. I'm a Scout girl, you know. All right, so Scout in life, KKX. KX. I think I've watched some porn on. She goes to KKK Pilates. Yeah, Jenna, real bold choice there, mate. I wouldn't be telling anyone that. Wait, so you've been to your first class already? I've been to two classes already.

Wow. I did one yesterday and did one on Tuesday. And, oh, my God, I love it. But I was doing the class and I walk in. First of all, you should have told me, Mitchell, that it's all middle-aged women. Not always. There's a bit of that.

Adding life. All women. And oh my God, my key demographic. I kill in this Pilates class. Every gag lands. The laugh. You're cute. Why are you making gags in a Pilates class?

How annoying. You know me. I get one laugh and I'm like riled up. I'm like a woody twilight. They pull my string and I go. One day you'll get a laugh here. Yeah, I know. I've been trying. And I walk in and I'm with my mum.. I'm like a woody toilet. They pull my string and I go. One day you'll get a laugh here. Yeah, I know. I've been trying.

And I walk in and I'm with my mum. Michelle does the class too. So it's like, you know. I see. Mother and son. And I walk in and they put you down on the bed and she sort of goes, my instructor goes, we will go slow because you've never done this before in the machine. And I said, I've done a barre class.

Yeah, bitch please. At Hot Pilates. Yeah, so for those who don't know, Reformer Pilates is the one with the bed, the machine. You lay down on it. It's got the springs. Yeah. And you use that as resistance. Yes, correct.

Yeah. It looks more intimidating than it is, to be honest. Well, there's about four sets of springs, Jenna, right? And they're all different colours. And green is easy. Yellow's medium. Red's really hard. Yeah.

So depending on the exercise, I'll say, all right, two red springs for this, making it heavier. One yellow spring, that makes it lighter. Correct. So she's like, you know, Mitch, if you want to go yellow, go yellow. I'm like, no, no, I've got muscles. Like, I feel like I can do it. I did it.

Oh, boy. I was quivering. Muscles that I did not even know existed. You know what hurts today? The skin between my nostrils. I go, when the fuck was that used in Pilates? You must have been tense enough. My eyebrows are sore.

A muscle that is like connecting my elbow to my groin muscle. How did I use that? They say that's what Pilates and barre are good for. It's like targeting muscles that are very hard to reach in any other sort of exercise. Well, that's what they said. Then a lot of the old biddies were like, you know, it's good for balance when you get to 60 plus because, you know, they don't want to be fit or strong necessarily. They just want to have their muscles ready to go in case they topple over.

My balance has barely improved and I've been going for over a year. That's my weakness. Oh, well, I was going to give you the clout. I was there and we got talking before the session and I said, oh, you know, one of my best friends and my podcast co-host, Mitchell Coombs, has done Pilates for a year and a bit and he's so toned. And somebody went, oh, I know Mitchell Coombs. He looks amazing.

Oh. Did she say that? Yeah, she did. God love it. What's the name? I don't know, but she said she got a psychic reading from you about a year ago. I love it. No, she did compliment you.

She knows you well. Anyway, so I did the Pilates class. I was sweating my tits off because it was a warm room. They've got infrared lights, but they weren't on, but you can do it. Anyway, so at the end of the whole session, I thought I did really well. The instructor comes up to me. All the ladies were all on our back. We just finished our final stretch. We're all in our bag. She comes up to me, taps me on the shoulder and goes, I did really well. The instructor comes up to me. All the ladies are kind of, we're all on our back. We just finished our final stretch.

We're all on our back. She comes up to me, taps me on the shoulder and goes, you did really well, Mitch. Like, you know, we're happy to have you in the family. I'm like, I'm really excited to be here. She goes, just a reminder, wipe down your machine at the end of use. Gives me a sanitary wipe, like a wet, dead hole wipe.

Puts it in my hand. I go, that's nice. As I sit up to clean my machine, she's given no one else a sanitary wipe. Not one woman given no one else a sanitary wipe. Not one woman in that room has a sanitary wipe. She gives it to me. But isn't that pretty standard? As far as my Pilates studio goes, everyone has to wipe down their equipment afterwards.

Maybe everyone had already done it because they're in the routine of it. I don't know. Maybe I was down there too long trying to recover. Maybe you were just that sweaty that she's like, fuck me. That's going to leave a stain. And a stench. You know when someone dies in an NCIS episode and they draw their outline with chalk? That's what it looked like on the black mat.

It was just like a heat lamp. In the Predator movies, how it's like a red outline. That's what it looked like. So I'm like, cleaning this fake nylon pad. No one else was doing it. I was mortified. The real question is how to feel the next day. Because I don't reckon Pilates makes you sore that day but when you wake up. Oh Mitchell I'm so sore. I'm so like I'm not even joking really really sore. It actually gave me a newfound respect for bottoms. My legs up in that air like that. Pulled back with straps. It has been helpful

in that area. Have you improved? Oh yeah. Good for you. She wants to know to have become more nimble. Really? Oh, God, yeah. Oh, my God. Write that down for brunch. Yeah. Talking points in case you suck

for conversation. Yeah, I'm not joking. I had my ankles strapped up up in the air. It was like Free Cirque du Soleil for Nancy sitting in front of me. She's got cataracts so she couldn't say shit

and my legs were so high up I didn't realise my hamstrings could stretch that far. Yeah. Incredible. Genuinely really good. So I text Stephen, I'm like, you need to do Pilates.

Let's get your friend membership. I've got mixed feelings about your Pilates era. Oh, why? On the one hand, I'm kind of taking credit for influencing you. I'm like, oh, okay, you eventually took my recommendation. It worked, yeah. But then I'm also like, fuck, man, do you have to copy everything I do? I'm not copying.

I knew you were going to say this. First you steal my walking era and go with your dumb bitch walks and all that. A hot girl walks. They're very big. There's a movement. Now you've come for my Pilates. I've said it once, I'll say it again. Next stop is going to be you getting a fucking push bite because you're so jealous.

Yeah, you will. You're so jealous and you always have been. No, I'm not. But Darwin, are you ready for my show? I'm coming. I'm coming. Order off for duck's pit. You're listening to Is It Just Me?

Listening on Spotify. Don't forget to leave a five-star rating. All right. Coming up in episode 212, which is coming out on Wednesday, we're doing talkback tings and a mispronunciation. Two Idjim staples. You can just go. Our bread and butter.

I know. I love it. It's fun. It kind of reminds me of the early days doing the podcast. I know, right? It is a bit like that. You broke uni students. Now we're all in the top 1%.

This one's actually two in one. Is it? It's a mispronunciation on Talkback Radio. Really? Yes. How good? I've gotten back into listening to Talkback Radio when I leave my night show at like 10, 10.30 at night.

That's when the good shit happens. Oh my God. It's so unhinged. I know. It's so unhinged. Well, make sure you start writing down the time. Sam, bring it in. Yes.

I want to hear the unhinged shit, please. Okay. All right. I will. Also on Wednesday, I'm going to be revealing to you what Sean got me for our two-year anniversary. Oh. And for now, let me just tell you this. He fucking nailed it.

Oh, good. Oh, my God. It's the best gift ever. I remember the first gift he bought you for the first year anniversary. It was like a song. Was it Lover by Taylor Swift? It was like a first bit. No, that's what I did for him.

I remember that. That was cute. Yeah. Oh, two years. That's exciting. Two years, can you believe? Not till June, but he's given it to me a bit early I remember that. That was cute. Yeah. Oh, two years. That's exciting. Two years, can you believe? Not till June, but he's given it to me a bit early. Very sweet.

Oh, cute. Wow. Feel free to hit me with guesses about what it could be because I'm just telling you, it's the perfect gift for me. I can't think. Oh. Perfect gift for you. It's a dream come true.

But could he get Xanax without a prescription? That's what I'm wondering. I don't know if he'd be able to get it. If anything, I need uppers, mate. I don't need Xanax. I'm so dopey. I don't know what the perfect gift for to get it. If anything, I need uppers, mate. I don't need Xanax. I'm so dopey. I don't know what the perfect gift for you would be. Like a bike seat.

I've got one. I've got plenty. I've got a seat on my bike. Like a cat scratcher for Isabella. Something for your baby. She doesn't like those. Oh, the new updated, what's the bubbly thing called? SodaStream.

No. Oh, really? You're not even getting warmer. I'll tell you on Wednesday. I might start a speculation thread in the Facebook group because maybe our idiots know me so well that they know what the present is. I'm sure they will. Yeah. Okay, that's coming up.

That's exciting. Any guesses from you, Jenna, no? I'm going to guess like a yoga mat. No. An egg poacher. I've got one of those too. A slow cooker. No, you're not even warm.

I'll tell you on Wednesday. Okay. A TV. But I'm very excited. A radio station. Oh, my God. Sean has bought you the SCA network. Oh, my God.

He has worked. He got it on special. The new owner of WSFM, my new boss. Oh, my God. Sean purchased you a regional radio station. No, not quite. Oh, close. Somehow that's warmer than egg po station. No, not quite. Oh, close. Somehow that's warmer than egg poaching.

Weirdly, yes. That is warmer. It'll make sense. I reckon Jenna's going to be jealous as fuck. That's another clue. But no, I'm not giving too much away. I'll tell you on Wednesday. The McLeod's daughter's ranch.

Is that it? Oh, my God. Wait, I've got it. I stay at the Airbnb of the McLeod's daughter's ranch. Oh, my God. Are you kidding? Okay, you don't have to wait until Wednesday Oh, my God. I stay. Wait, I've got it. I stay at the Airbnb of the McLeod Daughters Ranch. Oh, my God. Are you gone? Okay, you don't have to wait till Wednesday anymore, I guess. Oh, you were baiting us.

Jenna knows me so well. Oh, my God. You're going there? We work together there. Were you pulling out the ranch? Look. Oh, my God. Jenna, this is the card he gave me.

No. Wait, wait. Sorry, why is he buying the load so early? Why is he giving it to you months out of the anniversary? Because we were organising our accommodation. Quick plug, I'm doing a comedy show in Adelaide straight after Darwin. George, you're going there. And so when we go to Adelaide, we're spending like a week there.

And before we booked flights and accommodation and shit, he had to tell me this because one of the nights will be at fucking Driver's Run, the property they filmed McLeod's daughter's. Happy second anniversary. We're having a gorgeous trip too. And then the front picture is the car. Claire McLever's Run. Oh, my God. The property they filmed McLeod's Daughters. Happy second anniversary. We're having a gorgeous trip, too. And then the front picture is the car. Claire McLeod's death. Falling off the gorge, which I get the joke.

Historic Kingford the Barossa, a.k.a. Drover's Run. So the property where they filmed McLeod's Daughters, mine and Jenna's favourite fucking show of all time. I can't believe it. From when we were kids. Go, Leung. So they've done it up into this gorgeous wedding venue

and accommodation and stuff and we're spending the night there. Isn't that fun? This is my love language. I don't even watch the fucking show, but I'd cry. Oh, Sean. What did you get him? I haven't got him anything yet because it's not until June 30. Well, he's pre-planned this. Well, yeah, because it's happening. You had to tell me in advance.

So we didn't double book accommodation. You don't break that man down. You get him something real good. Of course I will. Okay, you're right. Well, I don't know what the fuck we're doing on Wednesday anymore. Oh, we'll make it work. I'm so careless. Don't stress.

He deserves boyfriend of the year, does he not? Yes. I agree. Taking me to the fucking McLeod's daughter's house. It'd be like, I don't know, what's your favorite show? 30 Rock. Yeah, going to 30 Rock. I don't know if you can stay overnight there.

No, you can sleep out the front, I'm sure. It's real nice. I can't wait. Imagine being able to watch McLeod's Daughters in the future and being like, oh, fucked in that room. That was my next question. Are you going to be able to bring yourself to have sex in the McLeod's Daughters room?

What do you mean, bring myself? Well, I mean, it's sacred. Not really. It's beautiful. They've done it up now. It's way nicer than it was on the show. It does look beautiful. If you're a devout Catholic and you finally got to the Vatican, you'd kind of be like, I can't fuck here. Don't you think?

No. It's like all the chefs at MasterChef trying to get on to that show. They finally get to the MasterChef share house. They're not going to root in there. I get that. Oh, you're dead. I don't understand your point at all. I just think it's so sacred

Do you want to ruin those memories with Just say I've done it Why wouldn't I Okay true Is there a famous sex scene in the show That you could recreate No Recreate

They were all straight So I wouldn't have thought so Oh shit I can't believe you ruined my surprise By guessing it Jenna I guess she just knows me that well I can't believe I started with egg poacher I'm so jealous

Anyway Should I hit you with my is it just me now? Yes, I'm ready for it. Yes, let's go. Is it just me or? Whatever happened to a good medium-sized meal? Oh. Oh, that's a good point.

Maccas still do the medium size, obviously. That's my favourite. I think the fucking Maccas medium cups are so fucking cute, aren't they? Really? They're my favourite. Well, I used to get a medium cups are so fucking cute aren't they? Really? They're my favourite. Well I used to get a medium because I was afraid of getting a large because it insinuated that I was a big boy. I don't even know if I could stomach a large honestly. Really? Oh I could pump a large easily. A large drink is my

favourite size drink because I can just get through that whole thing. I love it. Nah but then it gets all weird with the ice at the bottom it gets all watery because it takes me ages but I love a fucking medium-sized meal and i feel like they're not really an option anymore obviously at maccas they still are yeah but i haven't been to maccas in forever i'm more of a these days i frequent like a porto yeah galo yeah red rooster subway they're probably my my main four players none of them have

a medium-sized option it's just regular or large. And there's something psychological about like medium feels like a happy middle ground. I agree. Medium also feels like kind of sexy. Medium feels like, oh, it's a bit cunty. It's like, oh, I'm a medium. You know what I mean? Like I'm not small.

I'm not a baby. I'm not a big man who has a large. I'm a dainty little girl. And even though a regular size chips at a Porto, for example, they're probably bigger than a medium Macca's chips. But I still feel like, oh, it's the smallest option. Yes. I want the middle ground. I love a medium. Oh, I'm with you.

Where else can you get a medium? That's a good point. Like the Donut Kings. I reckon Macca's. Do KFC do mediums? Yeah, KFC would. Hungry Jack's do as well. Yeah, Hungry Jacks. But most of the ones I go to do not. I just feel like medium size is my go-to in every sense. Like, even if I'm buying someone.

Remember that time I bought Jenna a jumper for her birthday? And I was like, oh, I think she's a small, but we'll go a medium to be safe. I fucking froth a medium. I always go a medium. It's the safest choice in every sense. You've always loved mediums. The sizes, the meals, Patricia Arquette. The psychics.

Yes, of course. Great mediums. Yeah, yeah, yeah, mediums. I've never been a medium boy, to be honest, even in size. That's true. I feel like I'm rubbing you on your face now. Yeah, I mean, that's what I wish. That would have been lovely even as a child when I was born.

XXL baby seed jumper. I didn't get a medium, but I never went medium. When I was a kid, I'd get small, small, small, and I distinctly remember the jump from Happy Meal to a large-sized meal. Really? You didn't go to medium? Because my graduation from Happy Meal was medium at Chicken Meal. Oh, mine was small quarter pounder meal, and I could never get large

because my dad would get large. So in my mind, Dad ate more than me. I'm the kid. I don't eat as much as Dad. Yeah, you're right. My dad would do the same. Yeah, so I'd always get a small quarter pound of meal. And my parents love them, but I was on the lemon detox diet at 12.

My parents' diet culture. So if I ever had the hide to order a medium McDonald's meal, I'd be shamed. But do you remember McDonald's trying to trick you into thinking that a medium McChicken meal was healthy because it has the heart foundation tick? Yes. It let us down the fly. What the fuck happened to the heart foundation tick? I think they're still ticking things, but it's just very hard to do it. No, you have to pay to get it on your food.

Because it used to be quite a flex. Really? Oh, it's got the heart foundation tick. A medium fries at Macca's is good for your heart. Jenna, I don't think you were a fast food kid. Your mum strikes me as someone who is completely against fast food. No, no. Every Friday we'd go to McDonald's.

Oh, the Friday takeaway tradition. So many families had that. It was my favorite thing. After school, straight after school, we'd go to Macca's. Really? And so many good memories. We had Thursday night kebab night. Oh.

Yeah. Holy shit. My Thursday. Because it was late night shopping. Oh, yeah. So all the food courts would stay open late and mum would love to go shopping. We'd go shopping after school and we'd get a best and less and right next door was Kenny's Kebabs and they had a salmonella scare

and mum was distraught that we'd all get salmonella because we lived off Kenny's Kebabs. And he went to prison, I think, for money laundering. Holy fuck. But he made a killer doner kebab. Lamb and chicken. It was brilliant. Random thought, going back to the clothing thing, the clothing sizes.

Oh, yeah. So random thought, going back to the clothing thing, the clothing sizes. Oh, yeah. So if there was an extra medium size shirt in the same way that you've got extra small and extra large, would the extra medium shirt be bigger than a medium or smaller than a medium? It'd be bigger because large, extra large. But then extra small. To me, the image that conjures up in my brain, extra medium is like extra snug, extra tight. Oh my God, you're right. Extra medium wouldn't be extra medium.

It'd be extra. But then it could be. Now that you've said that, that sounds correct as well. Like extra medium, extra give, extra room. No, I hear it as like extra medium, like extra medium. Oh. Because medium's not big. Medium's standard. So it's extra standard, extra medium. It extra medium. Oh. Because medium's not big. Medium's standard.

So it's extra standard, extra medium. It's a little tighter. Because extra small. It could go either way, couldn't it? My opinion has changed. I can't decide. Do you want to give us either? Well, you know, I just don't know.

Jenny, you're browsing through the rack? Yep. Extra small. Small. Does it go before medium or after medium? It makes sense if it's medium, then extra medium. What? And then large, extra large.

Yeah, it does. That's exactly right. It's got to go before. It's got to go before. Before? Yeah. What? So you think it's smaller than medium?

Yeah, I still do. I can't decide. It's such a mind fuck. But also, who's going to fit into an extra medium shirt? Who's going to want to admit something? Being an extra small is like, we get it, twink. Being an extra large is like, okay, bear, daddy. But an extra medium, who's that?

I can rock an extra large sometimes because I like an oversized number. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can do a double XL and I'm feeling real comfy, you know? But then I feel like if I got an extra medium, I would be wanting extra room. Like, oh, they actually run a bit tight. So I'll go the size up. I'll get an extra medium, I would be wanting extra room. Like, oh, they actually run a bit tight. So I'll go the size up. I'll get an extra medium. What if it was just a medium that had like a little zip that you'd zip down and it would

give, it'd give you like an extra inch, you know? So it was kind of like an extra flap that you could open. Like that thing on the suitcase where you unzip it to make it just a bit more. Yes, this is just me on the fly. Do we need more of those? What do you even call those? I don't know. Like an extra incher.

I'd kill for that. My brain's still tripping out about this extra medium thing. Listen, I'm not a fucking medium, so I don't care. It doesn't bother me. I'm always at one.

You're never going to be in an extra medium, whether it's small or large. Totally. It's never going to be my target demo, so I do not care. Maybe as a sock.

Yeah, a nice little neckerchief, perhaps. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Now, who wants to hear some good news? Oh, yeah. Yes.

So, very exciting. Officially, idiots, we now have brand new merch on sale. Oh, my God. And how satisfying is this? No link in bio shit. Just go to coupleofmitches.com.au. Yeah. That's going to have all our new merch on it.

Coupleofmitches.com.au. Before anyone fucking asks, no. No rash fest yet. They'll come later. It's fucking winter. No, but they will. Sun safety, important all year round. Yeah, of course.

I agree. But I don't think anyone's going swimming now, are they? No, no one's going swimming now. I've got the laptop in front of me. I'm going to the website. Oh, my God. I haven't seen it yet. Oh swimming now, are they? No, no one's going swimming now. I've got the laptop in front of me. I'm going to the website. Oh, my God. I haven't seen it yet.

Oh, it's gorgeous. So here's how it's going to work. We've got a couple of different ranges of clothing items, like different designs. And you can put that design on, I don't know, a hoodie, a shirt, a long-sleeve shirt, a crew neck, even drink bottles and shit, whatever you like. So we've got it all. Cheery's come up with his own range. This is his baby. Correct. So we're kind of, again,. So we've got it all. Churi's come up with his own range. This is his baby. Correct. So we're kind of, again, competing.

We've done it before. Yeah. You had the stress ball in the original merch line. Because we were fighting over what to put on the jumpers. And then I was like, let's just fucking do both. Yeah. So this year, we've both come up with our own design. Yep.

The Churi design is, I like to call, the I'm with idiot range. Yep. It is for our audience, the idiots. You know that classic shirt that says, I'm with idiot? That's funny. No, it's like, I'm with Idiot range. Yep. It is for our audience, the idiots. You know that classic shirt that says I'm with Idiot? No, it's like I'm with Stupid and it's got an arrow pointing to the right or something so that whoever you're standing next to, you're calling them stupid. Yes. Well, you listening are a big old idiot for listening to this show.

So the shirt says I'm with Idiot and the arrow points up to you because you're the idiot. Because you're the idiot. But people are going to go, oh, that's self-deprecating. You go, no, no, no. It's this podcast. Idiot pride. Idiot pride. Yeah. So you can get's self-deprecating. You go, no, no, no, it's this podcast. Idiot pride, mate. Idiot pride. So you can get that in a sweatshirt.

You can get that in a hoodie. You can get that in a long sleeve or a T-shirt. There's different colours as well. My design, which Chiri tried to veto, even though it took me quite a while to put it together. I know. We can't officially call it an ears to it design because copyright Taylor Swift.

But we all know the Ears to It merch where it's got different photos of her in little boxes from over the years. Taylor Swift. All the different Ears. Well, it turns out we've had quite a few fucking Ears. We've been going for five years now. Yeah. I went through and I was like, shit, we've actually got a lot of photo shoots that we've done. Eight.

During our five years. So we've got a five-year anniversary collection. And so it looks just like the Ears to a Design, but it isn't. I love it. We're calling it the Blonde Nondescript Pop Star. And you can get the Ears to a Design on the shirt, different colours, like I said, jumpers, whatever you want, even drink bottles, coffee mugs, things like that. That's cool.

And then we've got a few little extras. We've also got this year's artwork on a shirt, whatever you want. If you don't like either of them, the I'm With Idiot or the five-year anniversary, Ears To A Bloody Range, we've also just got this year's artwork. You can just get us on a T-shirt. Yeah, and as well as that, we've got a few extras. You can buy a totally tote bag.

You can buy a beanie. And guess what? What? You can buy your own copy of the Mona Jenner on a poster. Just like our artwork in the background of the Louvre, you've got the Mona Jenner. You can have

your own Mona Jenner. Now I will say when you see this, this isn't just a piece of paper. This is a high gloss custom poster. This is like we wanted to work with the team that did all just a piece of paper. This is a high-gloss custom poster. This is like we wanted to work with the team that did all the movie posters in Hollywood. This is top-end, glossy movie poster material. But I have to say to them, so it's true to life, the Mona Lisa is famously quite fucking tiny. I was like, you're going to make it not the biggest poster?

Correct. Just like a Mona Lisa-sized little poster. Correct. Now, I will say also the Totally Tote Bag is a new range. The Totally Tote Bags you get for being on the show, different to this. They're limited edition. Yeah. I shouldn't say this, but the ones you can buy, they're the Povo Tote Bags.

Standard totes. The premium one you can only win with us. That's got the yellow handles and the zipper. It's the deluxe tote bag, so you can only win those. But if you want to buy a Povo one, just the normal white tote bag with the same design on it, go for gold. They're cotton. They're really cute. And they're the totally tote bag.

Are we forgetting anything? We've got the I'm With You To Get range. Correct. The Ears Tour Inspired range. And then all the extras. The Mona Jenna. And then the 2024 artwork range. Correct.

But also, as a part of the standard New Line merch, we've got the Ijin beanie, which has the little logo on the beanie. Oh, that's one of the extras. Yep, one of the pom-pom beanies. So you've got the standard, then the one with the pom-pom, which is really cute. The drink bottle, the thermos, we've got the Ijin beanie, which has the little logo on the beanie. Oh, that's one of the extras. Yep, one of the pom-pom beanies. So you've got the standard, then the one with the pom-pom, which is really cute. The drink bottle, the thermos, it's all there. Yep, so head to coupleofmitches.com.au. Have a little browse at whatever merch you'd like to pick.

Yeah, and this one isn't as a stressful, oh, my God, order. You've got a week before we're going to close the store. Yeah, it's not like a pre-order situation. Once you order it, it'll be out to you within, I don't want to make a guarantee and say within a week, but I would assume so. Yeah, we were very early into the merch world last time. So, but this time-

That was a pre-order. You had to get your orders in and then it'd be sent to you a month later. No, none of that shit. You can just buy it. Also, go and perv on the website. It's gorgeous. Coupleofmitches.com.au. Yeah, they've done a great job.

We worked with a company and Mitch and I had to arm wrestle with them a little bit because we were like, shh, dull. The prices were a bit expensive. And so we decided, because we're such good people, we decided we would rather make less money if it meant that people can actually buy them because they were quite expensive. So we've put the prices down on things. Well, if you'll have a look, all the items are very high quality. They're very premium.

The website's top notch. Oh yeah, it's good shit. Oh yeah, but that meant the merch had to be more expensive. We got our cost down. So there's not much margin. We're so generous. We got your back, idiots. Don't worry.

Yeah, we love you. That post is beautiful. The post is so dumb. Love it. We should even do some if Jenna wants to sign one. We could do one as a giveaway. The first one's off. Oh, yeah.

Does that work? I don't know how that works. Would that be smug as our price keeper to send out signposts of herself as prizing? Also, I love that we're not signing them. It's just Jenna. I mean, we could sign them. Why would we sign the Mona Jenna? Well, aren't we Da Vinci?

Like, we made Jenna the Mona Jenna. You're right. That's true. You're Da. I'm Vinci. You're the Mona Jenna. Anyway, it's taken us quite a bit of fucking work back in to pull this all together. It has.

So, it's finally here. The brand new merch website, coupleofmitches.com.au. Go have a look. Yeah, and we love you. And you know what? Buying the merch supports us. We put on the show for free. We love doing the show for you idiots.

And we're still going six years strong and the merch is a sign of- Five years. Six seasons. Correct. Five years. Yeah. It's August, isn't it? October's the anniversary.

Okay. Oh, no. No, I meant the month. Oh, now? It's the fucking August. I was having's the anniversary. Okay. Oh, no, I'm on with the month. Oh, now? It's the fucking August. I was having a mild stroke. I'm okay. Okay, good.

I just saw the original prices and I had a freak out. My brain melted. Anyway, have fun shopping, idiot. Correct. Enjoy the shops. That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? Yeah, you can get in touch with us in the DMs.

A couple of inches. Slide right in with a question of your own or a story of your own. Yeah, anything that's on your mind and you want to get it off your tits. We'd love to hear it. You can also send us a text on this number. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8 2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8

2-0-2 Send us a text, folks. We got a text today all the way from Port Macquarie. All the way. They have phones there? Isn't that crazy? I thought it was just a port. I thought it was just big old wooden ships.

Yeah. And that's about it. For Macquarie? No, but they also have Maria. Shall we give her a call? Please do. Yeah, let's go to Macquarie. Port.

Port. Macquarie. I'm not going back to fucking Macquarie. God. Port. Macquarie. I'm not going back to fucking Macquarie. God. I taught Macquarie when I was a teacher. And you fought Macquarie. Hi, Bob. Hi, Maria.

Hi, Maria. Hello, Chuck. How are you, Chuck? Yeah, we're pretty good, darling. What about you? Just us here. Yeah, good. Just sitting with my dog and waiting for my baby to wake up. Oh, shit.

You better keep your voice down. Yeah. Have a whisper. We don't want to wake the pup. Jenna's voice actually registers as a dog whistle as well sometimes. So just be very careful. Sorry about that. Yeah.

She's a little keg on legs, so. What does that mean? Like a fat little round thing. Oh. A keg. Yeah. She's a little sappy. Not so little.

Well, Jenna didn't want to say it on the show, but no, Jenna will dog sit. She said it before, but she didn't want me to say it, but she'll do it. For free of charge, actually. She'll pay you. All right, well, Bradley will count you in. You've got an Idgit just you for us. Yes, Maria? I do.

I can't wait. Let's get into it. Go for it, Bradley. Is it just me or? Have you also had your own final destination experience before? Oh my god Final destination, no I don't know what that means Those movies I know, I haven't seen the movies but I know of what happens

It's like a near death experience right Maria? Oh fuck here we go Maria what have you got for me? No I haven't The year was 2003. Oh, this is going to be good. I like this already. One year before Wonderland closed.

Oh, yes, Wonderland. Oh, fuck, I forgot about Wonderland. That was that theme park in Sydney that closed down. Right next to the cemetery. Yeah, they had the bootleg Disney characters. Like, here's Mocky Mouse and Boofy. I'm like, okay. Yep.

My friend had a birthday and took me with her one year. And we went on a roller coaster called the Demon. I remember the Demon. Oh, my God. I've been on the Demon. Doesn't sound inviting. The Demon. I've still got a photo of me on the Demon.

I've been on the Demon. I'm so glad you guys know what it is because most of the time when I tell this story, nobody has any clue. No, I've been there. Yeah. No, out of all the rides there, the only one I remember is the Demon. It was a massive, terrifying roller coaster. Do you remember the ghoul that was sitting out the front? Yes.

Yeah, I do. Yes. Terrifying. Scary. Don't tell me that this New Death experience involves the roller coaster. Yeah, it does. Okay, keep going. So you were at the Demon.

I was really proud that I finally went on this ride with my friend. Why? Were you too scared before? I was shitting myself every single time. Yeah, right. I finally went on it with my friend, and then we went back again with my family about six months later. And you're like, I've done it once.

I'll do it again. Yeah. I'm like, I'm going to show you that I actually can do this. Yeah. That day it was like a Final Destination movie playing over from the moment I woke up. Oh, you had like a premonition. I did.

I kept predicting stuff all day. What were you getting? Like visions of it breaking down, blowing up? Just like visions and stuff. Like something happened in the car where like the side of the wheel popped off. Oh. So we had to get an RMA to come out and fix that. Wow.

So then when we finally got there, all these little things were happening like stuff with the tickets not working. There's some intervention happening there, divine intervention trying to stop you. Yeah, and I got really spooked and then I just had that like Raven-Symoné flash and thought, we're all going to die. Oh no. Oh no. Well, you were wrong because you're here to tell the tale, which is good.

I am. So I went on the roller coaster. I couldn't open my eyes at all. I was so scared. All I can remember is being upside down and the roller coaster stopping abruptly. Oh, my God. You were right. The premonition was real.

Oh, fuck. Wait, like, is it supposed to do that or did it break down? Oh, it broke down. Oh, my God. Well, you're upside down. I was hanging in the air for about ten minutes. Ten minutes? Ten minutes.

Upside down, Maria? Upside down. Fuck me. What does that even feel like with the blood rushing to your head? Oh, no. It was horrible. I was, like, nine years old. That's terrifying.

I feel sick. I feel fucking sick. That's shocking. I feel dizzy. I feel fucking sick. That's shocking. I feel dizzy. My brother ended up having a cigarette while we were- While you were upside down. Imagine having an upside down dart. It was a rollie as well.

I don't know how he did it. How did he roll it upside down? That is impressive. I'm not encouraging smoking, but that's impressive if nothing else. And so wait, how did they get you down? Did they eventually just like kickstart that fucking thing? So, there was a little guy that came up this tiny little ladder and poked his head up and said, all right, guys, the only way we're going to be able to get this down is have mechanics work on it.

We don't know when, but we're going to cut the brakes. What does that mean? So, the brakes, they're basically going to cut the brakes so that we'd like freely start going into the practice. Oh, as in like gravity will do its thing. Yeah, I ended up doing like three or four more laps while it like slowly came to a stop and there was like a team of people waiting there

to like physically stop the carriage. I was up there for another like 10 minutes before they cut the lines. Holy shit. Wow. That's horrific. That's scary. That's not for me. I've got a headache just thinking about it.

I'd pass out. I think my hair would look amazing. But I would pass out, I think, Maria. Surely. Honestly, I should have sued them. Honestly, you should. You should. You really should have.

You know what? They did shut down. Well, they did a You should. You really should have. You know what, they did shut down, so. Well, they did a year later. Wow. When we came down, they had like a thermal blanket for me and I was sitting on a milk crate. Oh, like the end of a Scream film. You know what, you've done it, you've done it, Maria.

You've given me a brilliant story. Thank you, Maria. That is incredible. That's what we wanted. You've won a deluxe Totally Tote bag. That's what I was just about to say. Oh, totally. Yeah, totally. Totally.

This is the deluxe edition. So we'll Pricekeeper General send that out to you. You can use it as a vomit bag on your next roller coaster, I guess. You can put that pig of a dog in it and carry it around. I'm so excited. I'm going to put so many nappies in there. Yay. Oh, that's perfect.

Oh, that's so cute. Thanks, Maria. Thanks for listening. Bye, bub. Bye, bub. Oh, cutie. My God. Oh, I feel perfect. Oh, that's so cute. Thanks, Maria. Thanks for listening. Bye, bub. Bye, bub. Oh, cutie. My God. Oh, I feel sick thinking about it.

Yeah. That's not that bad. Being upside down, imagine how your head would feel. That was a long story, and I did think that she was just going to say, and I wrote it, and it was fine. I was like, well, then the premonition's just anxiety there, Maria. I was worried that that's where it was headed. Thank God she came through with that fucking part of the story.

I really was sure. That story really did mimic the demon. There was ups and downs, and I was on that that's where I was headed. Thank God she came through with that fucking part of the story. I really was sure. That story really did mimic the demon. There was ups and downs and I was on the journey the whole time. We got there in the end. I never went to Wonderland but they've got like a cemetery right next door and I went to several funerals at that cemetery, the burial bit and we'd just be

laying someone to eternal rest and you could just hear in the background on the roller coasters. It was such a tease. Yeah, that's not the best placement, is it? No. That's shocking. And you can just hear in the background. On the roller coasters. It was such a tease. Yeah, that's not the best placement, is it? No. That's shocking. And I was like, mum, can we go one day?

And then the bastard closed down, didn't it? Of course. Where was it in Sydney? It's like the hills or Western Sydney or something. It's where Wet and Wild or whatever is now. What is that? What the fuck? I've got some sort of Amber Alert.

Where did that come from? Oh, Stephen just got home. Why the fuck does your phone cause such a scene when your boyfriend gets home? That's a new thing we were testing it. Apple can do check-ins, so you can check in when you get home because he's driving home. Oh, like a child.

In a two-hour drive. No, like a loving partner. You've got a baby monitor for your boyfriend. No, I don't. All right, should we get out of here? Yeah, why not? Yeah, I've got to give Stephen his bot bot. Thanks for listening.

We will be back in a couple of days. Wednesday, in fact. We'll catch you on Wednesday, idiots. See you, idiots. Love you. And don't forget to go merch shopping. It's up now for sale. Coupleofmitches.com.au.

See, there's my inner radio. Good at a credit line when I remember it. Nice. Very good. Go shop, guys. Enjoy. Catch you soon. 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 AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end we'll pretend the show is done and then we just go a bit rogue here yeah we do a bit chaotic did you see that for darn did her own ad debrief about our ad debrief on her tiktok i love listen to the episode that came out last wednesday and as you know the rule is if a guest doesn't know about the secret segment, they're not hanging around for it.

Correct. I really saw that TikTok or vlog. I was going to say vlog, but it's not really a vlog. It's a 10 minute TikTok, no editing. It's a bit chaotic. And I really thought she was going to go in on us. I thought she was going to be mad. It felt like she was so pissed off about us talking shit about her in A to Debrief, which

we didn't really. No, we just, whenever we have a guest that doesn't stick around for A to Debrief, we often debrief about the guest. Well, yeah, it makes sense. Totally. So we did debrief and we said nothing bad. I really genuinely like her as a person. She's hilarious.

She's very funny. The only hint of shadiness that I detected from her in that video she posted the day of the episode coming out, because I would have said in A to Debrief, I got the impression that she's not a listener. So we're not letting her know about the secret segment. We don't tell them unless they already know. Yes. And she said, I did listen to bits

and pieces of the podcast just to get an idea of what I was dealing with, but I sure as shit didn't listen to the end. Yes. That was the only shadiness I got from her, that I sure as shit didn't listen to the end. I was like, no, alright. She's a lawyer. Well, watch me not watch the rest of this fucking TikTok. She's a busy mum.

Her cat and dog, their names. Are you across the names of the cat and dog? The whole situation worries me. I don't give a fuck about the names. It's deeply stressful. Streaky is the name of the cat. Yeah, that cat sounds genuinely distressed. You know how she said that they play fight?

It's not. I'm like, ooh, that's, no, that dog is harassing the cat and hurting it. I agree. I did leave a comment, actually. Did you? What did you say? I said, oh, she said something that's, no, that dog is harassing the cat and like hurting it. I agree. I didn't enjoy watching it. I did leave a comment actually. Did you? What did you say? I said, oh, she said something about like, oh, I think I killed it in my first podcast.

And I said, hi Fadan, yes, you did kill it. Please keep an eye on Streaky. I'm very worried. She sounds, he sounds distressed. Good. Hi Fadan, speaking of killing it, that dog in the background needs to be sprayed. It just tugged on my heartstrings a bit hearing the cat in duress. I agree.

No, I agree. It was, I think it was okay, but the audio was too much. Maybe the cat was just being a fucking drama queen because sometimes they're like that. Can I tell you what my claim to fame was? And I'm so happy this has happened to me. Yeah. You know when you're scrolling TikTok and you're watching a video and it's like, oh my God, I bought the drink, the viral drink, and I love it so much.

I'm drinking this blue drink that is so good. And they're reviewing the blue drink. And you go, what the fuck's a blue drink? So you go to comment, and the search bar at the top says the blue drink. So then you click it and it takes you to what the blue drink is. I am that on Fadan's video. Are you? Oh, my God.

The first vlog about her experience on the podcast is a vlog about her coming. The day that she came in and recorded with him. Yes. And she's like, I'm with a couple of Mitches mitch cheery mitch coombs whatever and um the top comment is um uh excited to listen love mitchell coombs hate mitch cheery that man is so annoying what really but yeah but she's hate mitch cheery so then the blue search bar is who is mitch cheery so if you go to that video and you click it it takes you on a on a TikTok algorithm of like all my top videos. I hate to break it to you, but I now suspect maybe that blue search bar might be different

depending on whose account it is. Because mine, the blue bar was just, is it just me podcast? And I was like, oh, well, that's good. People will be checking out the podcast. Mine was, is it just me podcast before the top comment. I think it changes based on the top comment on what everyone's talking about. So someone said you're annoying and everyone wants to know who is he and is he really annoying? The idiots were jumping in going, he's not annoying.

And then some people were like, I fucking agree. Go to the vlog one, Jenna, and see. But I was very happy because I'm like, oof, I'm a search bar. Have you ever Googled yourself and seen what comes up in the recommended? I did this week. Oh, jeez. Well, I Googled myself this week. Oh, jeez. Wait. Well, I Googled myself this week because, you know,

that comedy show in Australia, have you been paying attention? Yeah. They mentioned me on the show. Oh, fuck me. What is with this baby monitor? Stephen's doing a poo. Can you turn it on silent for God's sake? No, it's pushing through the silent feature. Well, tell it to stop.

I get Mitch and Mitch podcast for darn. Yeah, see, look, it changes. Yeah, okay. How random. I just looked up Mitch Tira on Google,, see, look, it changes. Yeah, okay. How random. I just looked up Mitch Chirri on Google, the top search. Do you want to guess? No, I know what it is. It's Mitch Chirri, how I lost so much weight.

That's not how it's phrased. It's just Mitch Chirri weight loss. Mitch Chirri dad, Mitch Chirri partner, Mitch Chirri kiss, Mitch Chirri father. Why are so many people curious about your dad? No idea. I've got no idea. Because he's hot. Mitch Chirri new boyfriend. As if fucking pedestrian are no idea. Because he's hot. Mitch Chury new boyfriend.

As if fucking pedestrian are going to write an article about that. Mitch Chury. Wait, someone's Googled Mitch Chury new boyfriend? Yeah. Oh, wow. The third one is Mitch Chury partner. That's funny. Well, I've just Googled.

I've Googled. I'll do Google you. You have to go to Google.com for it to work properly. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, I, this week, have you been paying attention? Hold on, I can't do two things at once.

We know. Have you been paying attention? Celia Piccola, who's a comedian in this country, was on the panel for Have You Been Paying Attention? And every year they rank, like, the top talent in the country and they did most entertaining people in Australia. I was number six, thank you very much, in the country. I'll take that.

Celia was number five. But on the list, they were making fun of the list, being like, who are these people? Oh, so they were being like, who the fuck's Mitch Cherry? Yeah, Ed Cavill is like, the funny thing is, like, they're the most entertaining people in the country, yet you still got to Google them. And then everyone laughed, which is not funny. And then I made a joke saying, if you Google me, all you get is articles about my weight loss and my failed relationships.

Are there articles about failed relationships? Well, yeah. It's like, Mitch Cherry announced a announcing a split from long-time partner. All right, let's do you. Oh, yeah, I remember that. Here we go. I wonder if it'll get confused with the other one. So don't hit enter, just write Mitchell Coombs and see what comes up.

So Mitchell Coombs. Top search, Mitchell Coombs, Bougainville. Mitchell Coombs, Newcastle. Mitchell Coombs, partner. Mitchell Coombs, age. Mitchell Coombs, comedy show. I just did it as well. Mitchell Coombs' partner. Mitchell Coombs' age. Mitchell Coombs' comedy show. I just did it as well. Mitchell Coombs' ticket is the top search for tickets.

Oh, I don't have that here. Age. Mitchell Coombs' Cessnock. Why would they be Googling that? Maybe that's Mitchell Coombs' psychic. Yeah, I get Mitchell Coombs' tickets. Mitchell Coombs' boat and gate. Oh, my God.

Look at the photo of me that comes up when you Google me. Show me. Oh, baby Mitchell. What the fuck? It's like me Bogey and Gates. Oh, my God. Look at the photo of me that comes up when you Google me. Show me. Oh, baby Mitchell. What the fuck? It's like me with short hair and glasses. You look like a lesbian. A photo of me doesn't even come up. Aw.

Anyway, this is a bit obnoxious, this Googling ourselves. What if I do Jenna, actually? I've done Jenna. Jenna Benson, Chicago. Jenna Benson, pottery. Jenna Benson, Calgary. Jenna Benson, ceramics. Jenna Benson, a photo of her comes up and it's Jenna Benson journalist is how they cite you.

Oh, wow. Which is that not how you described her at the start of this episode? Speaking of journalists, what the fuck? Well, I mean, she technically is really. She's a journalist, not a news scientist. Do you still write news articles as part of your job or not? Yeah, but not like serious stuff. Jenna a journalist. I'm a news scientist. Do you still write news articles as part of your job or not? Yeah, but not like serious stuff. She's a Benson journalist.

You Google it. Overview. What in God's name? What's the overview? I'm clicking it. Nothing comes up. Are you nominated? Jenna got nominated.

We should actually give Jenna her flowers for a moment, Mitch. Jenna got nominated for the Media Week Next of the Best Awards. Yes. You won it last year. I did win it last year and I'm hosting this year. So I will give you your award if you win. Oh, my God. That's going to be cute if you give it to her.

I know, isn't that sweet? Yay. Do you know if the company's going to pay for my ticket? I'm aware if you win or not. I've already got the script. Do I win or not? I can't tell you legally. No, I want to know because I'm not paying $450 to go there.

$450? ARN Kiss paid for my ticket last I want to know because I'm not paying $450 to go there. $450? ARN Kiss paid for my ticket last year, yeah, because I was nominated. They paid for mine last year because I was nominated and lost. Oh, I've been there. I didn't win my ACRA either. Oh, yes. I won my ACRA. Shut the fuck up.

So did I, sadly. Sorry about that. All right. Well, no, you won Best Hairline at the Comedy Festival, didn't you? No. What was it? Certainly I wasn't even nominated for that What did you win? Best newcomer or something? No just best comedy at Newcastle Fringe

Oh correct yeah So we're all award winning presenters in our own right I'm a journalist Hey I'm fifth most entertaining in the country Six I think I didn't actually get a trophy for fucking I've never won a trophy Actually no that's not true

I did win my first trophy as part of like a TAFE award, like Vocational Student of the Year or whatever. That's cute. But, yeah, I thought I might get a trophy or something for that best comedy at Newcastle Fringe. No, they just sent me like a digital plaque thing to put on my posters in the future. Oh, that's cute.

I got a fucking PNG file attached to an email. That was my prize. And what, you just put that on your poster? Mm-hmm. And you bet your ass I have. Good. Could anyone else just not steal that PNG and put it on theirs? I suppose they could, couldn't they?

But they'd be lying. They would be lying. We don't support lies here at this podcast. No. Unless it's you. Don't lie. It's called embellishment. It's called number fifth entertaining in the country.

Try it. I thought you were sixth. I think so. There you go, embellishment. I'm just going out. in the country. Try it. I thought you were sixth. I think so. There you go. Embellishment. I'm just going out. Yeah, there you go. I'm the number one most entertaining.

I'm not number one. I just forget. Entertainment, it's hard. I'm going to do another self-indulgent plug. I've added a new Sydney show. Wow. As mentioned, an Adelaide show. Yes.

And one of my Darwin shows is sold out, but there should be tickets for the other. So, yeah. Come and see me do live shit. Yeah. Buy a ticket. Thanks. Someone just bought a ticket. That's connected to Shopify. Whenever someone buys a ticket, it goes up.

Another one. Oh, that's Stephen. The baby cam. He's just done a shit. It's not a baby cam. It's just so when he gets home, I know he's home. Can I just tell you something? Look at our text chain together.

We literally, sending selfies, we literally started it today. Why though? Because he said I'm driving home and my Apple gave me a prompt and it said, do you want to do a check-in? So I hit it as a joke. He literally said, what's this check-in timer? Why do you want me to check in with you at 2.35? Yeah, why do you need that?

I said, I don't know. So I know you're home. It just gave me a prompt. Apple did it. It's the first time I ever used it. It's like when a primary school student gets home. Or when an adult gets home from their full-time job, as he is doing. Why do you need to know that information, though?

You're at work. He can fend for himself. I just said, let me know you get home. It's a loving, caring thing to do. It was just a text message. Not if it's going to blast during our podcast. I wasn't aware of the ins and outs of the technology. Anyway, we really should go.

Yeah, we better. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today, that's all. So we do. I forgot the number. I was like, how many percent? It's two. Yeah, it's two. It's 2%, yeah. You know what would have been a fun bit of merch? A portable charger that said, we hope this makes you feel at least 2% better.

And it's the world's shittest charger. The charger goes flat after like 10 minutes. And it's really slow, so it only makes your fucking phone 2% better. That would have been really funny. Or just a tiny portable charger, just a AA battery with a USB, Thunderbolt, lightning port, whatever the fuck it's called. You know what's also been in the back of my mind as potential merch one day? Yeah.

Just like a coffee table book of all the things better than drugs and dick that our guests have contributed. Well, I still think we need an Is It Just Me playing cards, which are just all the idioms we've done over the years, and you have drinks with your friends and you pull it up. Is It Just Me? And you have the moral conundrum. You talk about your friends with it.

I still think that is brilliant. Card game. That conversation could really fall flat. You pull out the card and go, is anyone in their Pilates era? No. Totally. Well, we don't pick those ones.

We pick the good ones. Oh, fuck. There won't be many. Who cares? You know, our fans of the show will get them. I think it's good.

Look at Flex Marmy. She writes like, oh, a ghost reel on cards and she lives in four penthouses. People love card games. Okay, well, you get cracking on that.

Potentially, Jenna. That was a directive for you. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. Thanks for listening, idiots. We'll catch you on Wednesday. Five stars on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify, please, if you can. We'd love you forever if you could give us a review. Keeps us going on the cloud. And don't forget to go

merch shopping. Yeah, coupleofmitches.com.au Have a look. Alright, see you guys. Catch you soon, idiots. Bye-bye. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
