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.
In high school, I thought compulsory meant you had a choice,
so my year advisor, Mrs Moyman, went,
oh no, Mitch Math is compulsory.
I went, fantastic!
I'll do two courses of drama.
Now here's Mitch Chooy and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you big porky pig.
Hello, happy pig week.
Ah, once again, annual pig week has come around.
It has.
Is this our fourth or fifth pig week?
I don't know, actually.
Possibly fourth.
Got to be fourth.
Yeah, we've had enough basically that
it's a tradition this is the best part of the year for us and for you idiots at home because
it all started was when we were on diets and we thought we weren't on diets we shouldn't say diets
well it was at the time this was um a few years ago pig week came about because i was about to
start personal training yes and he told me that he was gonna monitor what i was eating in my
fitness pal which once again i just would never fucking agree to that these days.
Yeah, it was a different time.
This was when Oprah was still fat, you know, and she was okay with it.
Dieting was not what it is now.
And so basically I was like, before this trainer starts monitoring my healthy eating, let's
have one final pig out.
And now it's become an annual tradition.
Correct.
The point of Pig Week is to encourage you, our darling idiots, who might be health conscious day to day,
to just allow yourself one moment this week
to have some guilt-free fucking pigging out.
Correct.
That snack you've been eyeing off at the supermarket,
this week's the week to bloody make it happen.
Just do it.
We don't care.
Just at least one moment of piggery.
Perhaps while you're listening.
My clothes to pig we're cooking.
I'm wearing a giant blue hoodie that says rotisserie chicken.
$5.99. $5.99.
$5.99, which is not true with a current inflation.
I was going to say.
That's not accurate at all.
It's USD.
So it's basically double.
Oh, okay.
So it is right.
It's like $12.
Correct, yeah.
Bloody hell.
Yeah, so I'm wearing this for Pigwick.
And you're in a beautiful pink, which reflects the colour of a pig.
I did put thought into the outfit.
I'm wearing pink for Pigwick.
Yeah.
This is also the first time we've ever done Pig Week where we do two episodes a week.
Yeah, true.
So Wednesday's episode, we'll also be pigging.
Correct.
I brought two very different types of plates.
So did I.
Yeah, one I bought on TikTok shop.
Really?
Yeah, I was so hooked in by this young girl eating these treats on TikTok that I purchased it all.
Yeah, so we're all contributing a snack each, including our third wheel price keeper, Jenna.
Welcome.
Hi, I'm here. Happy birthday wheel price keeper, Jenna. Welcome. Who is here for Pig Week. Hi, I'm here.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
You remembered.
I just wanted to jump in so she wouldn't think we forgot her birthday this time.
Of course you remembered.
I almost forgot.
No.
Should we present our plates, our Pig Week plates?
So Pig Week plates also, I mean, had to be kind of inspired by Jenna's birthday.
Yes.
Jenna's birthday kind of follows the Halley's Comet routine.
It's just kind of once in every 1,700 years.
Yes.
Is this your favourite birthday?
Because you've had so many.
I think this is my favourite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why?
What's special about this year?
You've had thousands of birthdays.
Just that you've remembered.
Well, you were famously killed on your birthday.
I was.
I was.
Tootin' Carmen.
Yeah.
The poison.
Yeah.
That was, oh, I don't want to get into that. Hate to bring it up. No, you shouldn't have to. No, I don't. Not on your birthday. Especially on my birthday. I was. I was. Tootin' Carmen. Yeah. The poison. Yeah. That was, oh, I don't want to get into that.
Hate to bring it up.
No, you shouldn't have to.
Not on your birthday.
Especially on my birthday of all days.
So your birthday's actually on Tuesday, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, we're getting in early here.
Should I present my plate?
Yes, please.
Here we go.
You simply must.
Okay, he's bending down.
I love pig week.
Oh, my God.
Fancy bag.
I bought it with Jenna's birthday in mind, obviously.
Of course.
Here you go, Jenna. Happy birthday. Oh, my God. Fancy bag. I bought it with Jenna's birthday in mind, obviously. Of course. Here you go, Jenna.
Happy birthday.
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow.
Oh, what a beautiful cake.
Isn't it gorgeous?
Oh, my God.
Look at this.
And to go out of my way for that, they're Insta-famous, the place that makes this.
Beautiful.
It's like multi-layered, like one of those pancake cakes.
It's got like 12 layers.
It's not just any cake.
It's a honey cake.
And I love honey.
Guess how perfect this is, Jenna?
What?
The honey cake, according to Google, is probably one of the oldest cakes known to mankind.
In historic records, the honey cake was baked as early as the medieval age.
Wow.
Yes, I remember that.
Very fitting.
The honey cake has no added sugar with honey as its primary sweetness, giving it a long shelf life.
So don't throw that out.
You can take the leftovers.
I will not be throwing this out.
Yes, you're not.
Oh, shit.
Now where did you pull that thing from?
I brought the knife from home.
You just pulled out a knife.
So beautiful.
Okay, careful.
Point that.
I was going to bring candles, but I feel like we're on thin ice in this studio.
I can't be lighting fires.
Oh, my God.
The warnings about this studio, you'd think, where the fuck am I going to put it?
Do you want, should we get plates or do we need napkins?
I've bought napkins.
Oh, fantastic.
I'm so prepared.
Oh, this is going to take ages to cut.
If you want to have a look.
Nothing in a rush.
No, if you want to have a look on Instagram, chhoneycakes is the Instagram.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's Christina's Honeycake.
Christina's Honeycake.
It's like pancakes.
There's multiple layers.
It's so nice and moist.
Yeah, it's a honeycake.
I love a dense cake.
What about you, Cherry?
What did you bring for people?
I shopped on TikTok shop.
Now, it's not actually TikTok shop because we don't have that in Australia.
But this girl was spruiking things and she said LinkinBio.
So I went to her LinkinBio and she had like a candy store.
And I thought, I'm going to have to quite simply purchase all this.
So what I did was, I don't know if you've seen this on TikTok, but it is freeze-dried gummies.
Freeze-dried candy. Have you seenried gummies. Freeze-dried candy.
Have you seen this?
No.
Freeze-dried?
Yeah, it's a whole trend.
People are into gummies now and Swedish candy.
I've always been into gummies, mate.
These are put into a freeze-dryer.
I don't even know what a freeze-dryer is.
They just look like prawn cakes from the Chinese restaurant.
No, no, they're dehydrated.
Like, they put gummy worms in a dehydrator and they become a crunchy, puffy, they look
like Cheetos.
Okay.
That's bizarre.
So that's what I brought from TikTok shop.
Another thing I've got, inspired by your new era, Mitchell.
Twinkies.
Mitch is a twink again.
Oh, yes.
And this is an American staple, banana flavoured Twinkies.
I don't think I could get away with calling myself a twink.
You have to be really young, don't you?
No, a twink is more of a mindset.
You're not a twunk yet, for sure.
If it's a mindset, I'm definitely not a twink.
I feel like an old woman in my mindset.
In my eyes, you're a twink.
I don't know.
I just shopped the most popular items on the website.
These are apparently all the craze.
Have you seen these?
They're wax candies.
Wax candies?
What is this weird shit you've got?
It's American candy, guys.
Wax candies, crybabies.
They're little cola bottles or bottles made of wax, but they've got juice inside them.
Made of wax?
Made of wax.
We have to try them because they're all the craze on TikTok.
Oh, wow.
Jen, I'm hoping that whatever you brought for Pig Week is some sort of savoury.
There's a lot of sweet shit going on.
Oh, well, you're in for a treat.
Yes.
Last year she brought grapes, so maybe she'll restore balance again.
I've brought my favourite chip variety.
Oh, good.
Perfect.
We need that.
As you might remember.
Oh, the fucking lightly salted popcorn.
The Cobb's popcorn.
You're a joke.
Lightly salted and slightly sweet.
I also talked to my team that I work with in the morning on The Breakfast Show,
and they agree that this is the best flavour and it's delicious.
Just not of potato chips overall.
Like, I can fuck with popcorn, but they're not the best potato chips.
Yeah, they are.
They're not a potato chip as well.
I'll add this to the collection.
Thank you.
I'm actually quite keen on that popcorn.
You know my favourite dog?
Tabby Cat.
That's not how this game works, guys.
Oh, by the way, we forgot to do the fucking ethical thing.
Trigger warning.
If you're a misophobe, there's probably going to be chewing. I'm not going to
overtly chew. I'll try and chew
off Mike, but you're probably going to hear it.
I'm going to try the honey cake. Me too.
I'm very curious about the honey cake. What do you reckon?
It does look dense and moist.
Oh wow. Is it good?
Oh my god. Fuck yeah.
It doesn't feel like a birthday cake
because we didn't sing happy birthday. Should we?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Jenna.
Happy birthday to you.
Hip hip.
Hooray.
Hip hip.
Hooray.
Oh, come on.
Do it with a bit of gusto, mate.
Hip hip.
Hooray.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is actually really good.
It's crazy to think this is what kings and queens would have dined on in the medieval age.
Honey cake.
Is it just me on the fly?
Amazing.
Should cake shops be open later in the day?
Yes.
I'm glad that I stumbled across this one when I did, but it also happened to be one of the
only ones open at like two in the afternoon.
Really?
Yeah.
When do they close?
I don't know.
I think Australia needs to keep things open later as a general rule.
Especially if I want a coffee from a cafe or something and it's 2.30.
No, not an option.
All the cafes close.
I agree.
This worked when Australia was a young country, like in the 90s and the 2000s.
We've progressed, guys.
Stay open later, cafes.
Especially because sometimes I intend to make lunch, but then it'll get to 1.30 and I'm
like, oh, I can't be bothered.
And then I just keep procrastinating.
It gets to 2.30.
I'm like, I'm just going to have to buy lunch from a cafe.
Oh, wait, they're all closed. I'll just have to have no fucking lunch today. And then you go down. It gets to 2.30. I'm like, I'm just going to have to buy lunch from a cafe. Oh, wait, they're all closed.
I'll just have to have no fucking lunch today.
And then you go down.
It's the cafe's fault.
They've got the old salads left, like a little bit of Greek salad.
Yeah, like some shit tuna wrap no one wanted.
That's all they've got left.
Yep.
A quarter chicken that is so dry and bony, no one wants to buy it.
Mitchell, do you want some honey cake?
Yeah, I'm just mindful of the fact that you're both eating
and I think someone needs to be talking.
Well, I can take a break while Jenna digests.
Why don't you tell everyone who's listening for the first time how this shit works?
Hi, everyone.
If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every episode, we start the same with an Is It Just Me?
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know my idjim.
I don't know his.
Mine, I will let you know my Is It Just Me?
I've turned my back on one of my favourite celebrities.
Oh! Oh, good end. Mm-hmm. Miley. Don't guess. Mine, I will let you know, is it just me? I've turned my back on one of my favourite celebrities.
Oh.
You're kidding.
Mm-hmm.
Miley.
Don't guess.
I'm trying to get Lily Allen.
Because then you'll fucking spoil it.
Oh, not Lynn McGranger.
What has she done?
What has she done?
Can't cancel Lynn.
Not Lynn.
You know I saw Aida Nicodemo in Westfield the other day?
When?
It was Thursday.
No, when did I ask? Oh, yeah.
It's been a while.
Mine, I've got like a pig week related one.
Oh, good.
It feels appropriate if you kick things off in that case.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Mine's ridiculous.
I just want to preface by saying that.
That's pretty standard, I would say.
Are we sure with that?
Are we sure?
Yeah.
We're okay?
I'm okay, yeah.
Why would we say no?
No ridiculous content on this podcast, mate.
Especially on my birthday.
I'd like it serious.
Oh, you want some hard hitting occurring affairs? Yeah. a current affairs sorry carry on what's the plural is it just singular current
affairs actually the show should be called a current affairs i think that's taken no no not
my show is a current affair a current affair or a current affairs because they don't talk about
just one story yeah but they've got more than one affair which is like oh he's an he's a current affairs because they don't talk about just one story. Yeah, but they've got more than one affair
which is like, oh, he's a current
affair for you and now he's another affair.
Oh, so they're not going here are all the current affairs.
They're singular in their
affairs. Is this your ridiculous itch?
No, God, no. I was going to say it's pretty good.
No thought. Thank you so much.
Alright, are we ready? Yep, let's go.
Is it
just me or?
Do you think we should conceal lifeboats?
Huh?
Lifeboats.
Do you think they should be hidden from the public eye?
Oh, like on cruises and stuff?
Yeah.
Those things are on complete and total display.
No, but I'll tell you why they're good, right?
When I went on my cruise.
She's got the honey cake in her.
She's going.
Normally you let the co-hosts have a ride or a flight.
Sure.
When I went on my cruise, I got a discounted room because the lifeboat was in front of
it.
Get out.
Get out.
Oh, did it obstruct the view?
Yes.
Oh, fuck.
Wow.
See, this is so interesting to me.
I went on a walk on the weekend, a walk for MS.
We raised under $10,000.
Thank you so much.
Jenna, thanks for your charitable donation.
Did you say under $10,000?
Just under.
Just under $10,000. It's a nice way of saying $10,000, but although so much. Jenna, thanks for your charitable donation. Did you say under $10,000? Just under. Just under $10,000.
It's a nice way of saying $10,000, but although it was eight, it seems less.
So you go, just under $10,000.
And we walk past this P&O cruise ship.
And I'm like, that looks gorgeous.
Maybe I'm into a cruise ship.
Like, I've never thought I'd do a cruise, but I was looking at it.
But the biggest eyesore and the thing that makes my stomach sink.
Sorry, I should have said sink.
Bad use of words there.
Is the fact that the lifeboats are on full display on the side.
And that's something that is needed only if there is complete terror, if the boat's sinking, if you hit an iceberg, or if there are pirates attacking the cruise ship.
Yeah, but mate, have you heard of a little incident called the Titanic?
Can you spell that for me?
The ship that sunk.
Yeah.
And did not have enough lifeboats to save the people on board.
No, I know.
So I think they've got them out on display because people find that reassuring.
No, I'm-
Knowing that they're stepping onto a ship and there's a fuckload of lifeboats should,
heaven forbid, something go awry.
Do you find it reassuring to know that there are lifeboats right there?
You know where they are.
Well, you can't have them in a storage cupboard if you have to evacuate quickly.
You need them right there on the edge of the ship so you can get the fuck off.
But surely that boat is a behemoth.
It's an engineering sort of juggernaut.
That's what they said about Titanic.
They did.
They did.
They said it was unthinkable.
They did.
It's sounding very similar.
But can't they build a platform that they hide them under or can't they cover them in a blanket or something?
No, I think some of them are covered.
No, surely not.
That's another thing.
Oh, fuck me. That honey cake's good. Sorry. I just had my surely not. That's another thing. Oh, fuck me.
That honey cake's good.
Sorry.
I just had my first bite.
It's just caught up.
I told you.
It is good, isn't it?
It's incredible.
It's not too sweet.
No.
It's really nice.
Sorry, carry on.
No, but there doesn't look to be enough lifeboats.
You look on the side of a cruise ship, there's like nine.
I think off the top of my head, you'd need at least 12.
Jenna, can you Google?
Maybe they do have some in like a storage space.
Yes.
So you get the first nine out and then you get the others out of storage while they're
doing that.
Thank you.
And also, why don't we just get helicopter pads?
Why don't we just have helicopters on cruise ships?
Because how many fucking people on the ship are going to fit in a helicopter?
Six at a time.
You can just do trips back and forth, back and forth.
Or put two helicopters. What if you're in the middle of the ocean? That helicopter might do trips. That doesn't sound practical. Back and forth, back and forth. Or put two helicopters.
What if you're in the middle of the ocean?
That helicopter might not even make it back to the shore.
That's true.
Okay, so on a cruise ship, there must be enough.
You want to clear your throat?
You've got honey cake sitting on your tongue.
On a cruise ship.
Right on, Carlotta.
Carry on.
Jenna's just developed smoky.
She's turned 50 and she's like, fuck it.
She's like that chick on the smoking ad.
Carrie, I made the wrong choices.
You shouldn't do what I did.
Oh, fuck.
On a cruise ship, there must be enough lifeboats to accommodate 37.5% of passengers and crew members on either side.
Jojo, have you learned nothing?
So only 75% in total.
But what happens...
Hold on, hold on.
They're accounting for 25% of death?
Yeah.
That's shocking.
Yep.
Is it still women and children first?
Oh, Google that.
That is good.
Holy fuck.
I really thought that they would have put some sort of measures in place after what happened
with the Titanic.
I agree.
We can't have this fucking happen again.
Is it just me on the fly or is women and children first
in outdated premise?
I mean, gay men have evolved.
I feel we are up there with the women and children,
the straight men, the breadwinners.
You stay back.
They want to kill us off because if we're double income,
no kids, they want our inheritance to boost the economy.
True, and we can't reproduce.
So say, for example, we're the last survivors.
We can't continue society.
I mean, I don't need to spell it out to you that gay men can have children, but it's just a little bit more tricky. No, no, but I more
mean if only people left on earth were those men on the boat and all the
gay men went to an island, we couldn't reproduce. That's true. There's no surrogacy on an island.
What if I said to them as they're evacuating the boat, I promise to root every single woman on
this lifeboat if it means I get saved.
I will knock every bitch up if that's what it takes.
I promise.
Imagine hearing that conversation, being a stressed woman, just hearing this gay man flapping his hands.
That's the last thing I need.
Okay, so, you know when the Costa-
I'm having some honey cake, so speak slowly.
When the Costa Concordia, you know that ship?
It fell on its side.
Yes.
So there were reports that during the evacuation of the Costa Concordia,
women and children had to fight with men for places in the lifeboats.
Pigs.
Yeah.
Absolute pigs.
Not in the good way, like pig way.
No.
So there's no actual rules in force.
Wow.
I just think if you work at P&O or you're listening to this or you have a cruise ship or a boat, just disguise them, you know?
I think they blend in pretty well, don't they?
What do they do on the Disney cruise?
They put like a Mickey Mouse face on it?
Yeah, I think they do.
Imagine the boat sinking.
You go, shit, men and women get on Daffy.
All women to Minnie.
Children to Pookie.
Are you Googling what the Disney ones look like
Yes
Of course you are
No they look normal
Do you think they've thought about
They look just normal
They do look normal yellow
Oh okay
Do you think they've thought about that
In the design of the Disney cruise
Like if this sinks
Is it going to be tragic
Because it's such a happy place
The characters are on board dancing
So let's at least make the rescue mission cheerful.
Yeah, yeah.
They should have character boats.
They should.
I'm being rescued by eel.
Yeah.
How good.
Pooh bear.
Pants picked me up.
Did your auntie make it?
No, she was on Tinkerbell.
Tinks went down.
Is it just me?
You should follow these idiots online.
Search couple of mitches.
Okie doke.
Coming up on Wednesday in episode 214, Pig Week continues.
It is a week-long affair after all.
So if you're hearing this now and you've not yet bought yourself that gorgeous indulgent snack as a little treat for yourself,
maybe you can line that up in time for Wednesday's episode.
Pig out.
Send us a photo and what you're pigging out on.
Yeah, and also there's no guilt because you know we're doing it.
So you can hear us do it and go, God, you know, they're doing it.
I'm doing it.
You just go out in sympathy with us.
And so we're going to bring a plate again on Wednesday.
Contribute a snack each.
Mine is actually quite a mission to get a hold of.
Roving reporter Oscar has been roped in to help make this happen.
I'm so excited for this, truly.
It's very exciting.
He's done something similar to this before, but this is all new heights.
Has he done something similar to this?
Yeah, he has, remember?
Oh, yes, you're right.
He has too.
Also on Wednesday, I'm going to give you a present that I was given at my Melbourne show
because the person in the audience said it's for Mitch and Jenna as well.
So I have to do the right thing.
I'll give it to you.
But I'm also going to be telling you an embarrassing moment that happened at my Melbourne comedy
show.
I'm mortified.
It's something that I don't think you would spend a second dwelling on, though.
But I am mortified.
Me, I'd be fine with it.
Probably.
You wouldn't have given a second thought at all.
Mitchell, people ask me for photos all the time.
You've just got to smile, go take the photo.
I'm not signing anything, only with blue pen.
It wasn't that.
Okay.
If it was me on the fly, whatever happened to being asked to sign shit?
I haven't signed anything.
Yeah, it stopped because there's so much fraud.
Because if they have a copy of your signature, then they can, you know, take mortgages.
I never once thought about that.
We sign our mugs.
I never once thought that someone could use that to open a fucking bank account.
And also, I sign the envelopes for the mail stuff that we send out.
You've got a lot of money, too, in savings.
I don't understand how signatures came to be.
Like what difference does it make?
I've scribbled my name in cursive, therefore it's legit.
That's so true.
My signature changes day by day.
Sometimes it's cursive, sometimes it's really dramatic.
Sometimes it's all caps, sometimes it's all lowercase.
There's no consistency with yours.
My sister Becky has Becky with a star next to it because when she was 16 and she got her driver's license, that's what she
did and she just had to commit to it. It's on her driver's license.
Really? She just has to commit? Yeah, now she's
just like a hooker's signature.
Becky, star.
Is she a fucking cop? She's a detective!
How embarrassing signing documents with that.
Imagine that you're under arrest. I've just
got to sign this. Imagine that document being presented
before court and they're like, what fucking
nine-year-old signed this?
Oh, that's Constable.
Detective Becky.
Should we have a quick little snack?
Try something different?
Yeah, okay.
I'm curious about these dry fucking prawn cake looking things.
So what, it used to be not unlike a Starburst lolly.
No, just it was a gummy worm.
A gummy worm, but they've petrified it or some shit.
They're freeze-dried.
Enjoy these delicious gummy worms candy that have been freeze-dried.
The extraordinary treat offers bursts of flavour.
They're very expensive.
I'm like, TikTok shop's good.
But with fucking postage, jeez, I think they came from Ottawa or something.
Speaking of which, have you noticed that while you fuck around trying to open that,
that looks fiddly.
I'm struggling.
Have you noticed that we're already getting pictures sent in of people wearing their new merch about us?
Oh, my God.
Listen to the speed of which they're arriving, guys.
I know.
Coupleofmitches.com.au if you want to check out our new merch.
And it's print on demand, baby.
You order it, it gets sent.
No fucking about.
Okay, I've got a gummy worm.
Okay.
I've seen this on my For You page for years and I'm finally tasting it.
I've never seen one.
It looks like a Cheeto.
Oh, my God.
It's harder than I would have thought.
Yeah.
I was expecting more.
Okay, ready?
It's a gummy one.
Don't chew into the fucking mic.
Sorry, sorry.
It tastes like a sour Froot Loop.
Yeah.
A really sweet Froot Loop.
I don't know if I like it.
It's all stuck in my teeth.
Yeah.
It's in, like, every corridor of my gums.
Corridor.
Fuck me.
Yeah, there's a lot going on there.
I don't love them.
No.
You can have them.
Oh, it's like shards of glass in my throat.
It's not letting me swallow it.
As I swallow, it's congealing in my throat.
It's like popping candy.
It's stuck all over through my teeth.
You know what?
That's so sweet.
The honey cake's now going to taste savoury.
You know when you have something...
Oh, Mitch is dying.
It's actually stuck in my throat.
Yeah.
I'm sipping water.
This won't go down.
You know when you have something ultra sweet and then you eat something normal sweet and
then it tastes savoury?
Yeah.
This honey cake now is not going to be sweet.
That honey fucking cake may as well be bread.
By comparison to that rubbish.
All right.
Michelle, do you have an idiom?
Of course I do, darling.
That's the whole point of the show.
I'm not a fuckwit.
Why would you ask such a stupid question?
It was just a natural segue.
I think the sugars hit me too.
You ready to go?
Yeah, I'm ready, Bradley.
Let's go.
Is it just me or...?
Are you a bit off Lady Gaga at the moment?
Oh, my God.
My money was on Miley.
My money was on Celine, but she's got stiff persons.
And then also potentially Demi, but you kind of were off Demi after the meth.
They're your big three artists.
No, they're not.
I have nothing against Demi.
And I actually have never turned my back on her.
I find her quite fascinating.
You said, I'm not a fan of Demi after Demi.
Oh my God.
I don't like what the sugar's done to you.
Just fibs.
No, Mitchell loves Demi.
This is shocking.
You're not a fan of Gaga anymore.
I'm not saying that I'm not a fan anymore,
but I'm not impressed with her behaviour of late.
Well, she's just released the Chromatica Ball right on Stan.
She has.
And she was doing an interview as part of the big premiere screening
of her concert film that you can fucking watch.
And she admitted that for five of the shows,
when she performed them in 2022, she had COVID.
Oh.
I saw this on TikTok.
And I was like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
I'm not sure what she was aiming at by admitting that.
Were we supposed to go, wow, look at her work ethic.
What a woman.
But no, I'm thinking, that's fucking ridiculous.
You're poor bloody dancers.
How do we know that she's not infecting them all and their families?
Lady Gaga was a super spreader.
Think about it.
Because she's singing on that stage.
She's spitting out that mouth, hitting the front row kids.
And this was in 2022 when it was like, I think people have relaxed their attitude towards COVID.
They feel a bit more casual about COVID these days.
We have.
But in 2022, it was still quite fucking rife.
Yeah.
I'm like, I cannot believe she did that.
Apparently, she checked with her dancers.
She said, you don't have to work if you're not comfortable.
But as if they would have not done that.
Yeah, you're not going to say, oh, no, I don't.
There's a power imbalance there.
If Lady Gaga says to you, listen, we're going to keep dancing.
We're going to shoot one of the dancers in the head.
They'll go, okay, sure, do it Russian roulette style.
It's Lady Gaga.
You do what she wants.
But also, what about all the tech people and everything?
I know.
There's so many people.
And you can't wear a mask and sing.
No.
I don't know how it's going to work.
She just would have gone out there with such reckless abandon.
I'm like, what the fuck, lady?
I think the issue here is that she also has an autoimmune disease herself, right?
She has fibromyalgia, I think.
Fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia.
Sorry, soft G.
Then to go out and get like immunocompromised people sick
as someone who has it themselves seems a bit contradictory.
That's true.
And she does cancel shows at the drop of a hat because of the fibromyalgia,
which is valid, of course.
Oh, yeah, she's cancelled heaps of shows because of that.
So you'd think COVID of all things, she'd be like, right, shut it down.
Soz, I have to reschedule these five shows.
Maybe she was asymptomatic and it wasn't affecting her.
But there's any number of people.
I sound like it's 2020 and I'm all riled up about COVID.
But there's any number of people she could have infected.
They could have gone and visited their grandma, killed her.
There were people on Twitter or X, whatever you want to bloody call it.
There were people saying, one of my family members did die
after going to a Gaga show of COVID.
Oh, Jesus.
Now that she's admitted that, people are coming out going, oh, don't know about that.
I wonder if you could sue Lady Gaga in America.
They're very litigious.
They could sue.
Cause of death from Grandma Betty, you know, one night watching Born to Tribe.
What's the song?
Born This Way.
Tells a good story.
I also just wasn't that blown away with the Chromatica film thing, like the video of the
concert.
Oh, did you watch it?
Yeah, I've only seen bits and pieces so far, but she just seems a bit autopiloty.
What was the taping from?
What show?
I think LA.
Like one of the big ones?
Yeah.
They filmed it.
Yeah, it was one of the big ones.
But she seemed a bit autopiloty to the point where she's actually done a bit of a cheery
herself.
Oh, that's good.
Can't wait to see how this ties in.
Well, she's got her own crutch.
Oh.
You know how you say, totally, totally, totally.
All the best performers do, so I can't wait for the comparison.
Well, there was one particular phrase that she said a grand total of 45 times.
What?
Oh, you're kidding.
If you're planning to fucking watch this concert movie, The Chromatica Crap, go ahead and
make this a drinking game, I suggest.
Take a sip every time she says this particular thing.
You'll be absolutely munted.
Have a listen.
Put your hands up, LA.
LA, put your hands up.
Put your hands up.
I said put your fucking hands up.
Hands up.
Put your hands up.
Put your hands up.
Hands up.
I said put your hands up.
Hands up.
Put your fucking hands up. I said put your hands up. Hands up. I said put your hands up. Hands up. Put your fucking hands up.
I said put your hands up.
Jesus.
Half the time she's not putting her own hands up, by the way.
Put your fucking hands up.
Oh, God.
This goes on for two minutes, by the way.
I'm all right.
I'm going to skip forward a bit.
Okay.
Put your hands up.
Put your hands up.
Put your hands up.
And also, put your hands up is very implosive.
So that COVID was being projected far and wide.
How many times?
150?
45 times.
45 times.
Put your hands up.
Put your hands up.
She may as well cough.
Put your hands up.
I don't have the upper body strength to put my hands up myself right now
because of my body fatigue.
My COVID.
And my aches and pains.
So put your hands up for me, please.
I'd love to put mine up.
Jesus.
What ended up happening, Mitch, with the end of it?
She announced a new song, right?
Eh?
She announced a new song at the end of the Chromatica.
She announced a new album.
Lady Gaga.
No, she didn't.
We haven't seen that, have we?
That was 2022.
Where the fuck's the new album?
She announced it at the end of Chromatica.
She announced the new album.
At the end of this movie?
Yeah.
Did she?
Yeah, at the very end.
What did she say?
I haven't seen any of that.
She says LGG6.
Oh.
Her sixth album.
I didn't see that.
Yeah, it's all over the press.
At the moment, all that comes up is this bitch had COVID on stage.
How awful.
How savage of a guy.
And the fact that she says hands up 45 times.
She'd be sad that they overshadowed her.
But yeah, LGG6.
It's LG7, by the way.
I'm not a Gaga Knight.
You're not a Gaga Knight.
Are you imagining this?
No, I spoke about it on my nightly radio show.
We do celebrity awesome.
Oh, right at the end of the film as Gaga exited the stage following,
I can't read any of that shit.
A hot sweat because she had fucking COVID.
The music dropped out for a moment and played something new.
Did that happen in real life?
Yeah.
LG7, Lady Gaga Returns.
Correct.
The confirmation that, yes, we'll soon see Gaga return to pop music.
Ah, so she hasn't really said the name or anything.
No, but she said she's got it.
She just said LG7.
Yeah.
Well, I just assumed she had a new album coming one day.
That's not new information.
She's just saying, hey, the next one, in case you've forgotten, will be LG7.
For those counting along at home, we're up to 7.
7.
Oh, shit, that's my favourite number.
Maybe I'll become a fan again.
You will.
You're such a turncoat.
You'll be fine.
Even if she killed Jane at the Gaga concert, you'd be a fan.
I don't know.
I was looking into lasering off this fucking Gaga tattoo of mine
after this whole little COVID display.
I was like, oh, you dickhead, Stephanie.
Are you serious?
Was it really that big for you?
I just, I'm like, what? you dickhead, Stephanie. Are you serious? Was it really that big for you?
I just, I'm like, what?
What?
No, but also coming forward and admitting it as if it's like. I'm like, yeah, just don't bring that up.
I'm a saviour.
There's something about that.
Yeah, I think it's a bit ick.
But also she like made a big donation to COVID research in the very early days and then just
fucking goes out on stage and risks all these people's lives.
It's weird.
Didn't she headline the COVID party? Oh, the COVID.
Wasn't there like a fundraiser concert?
The COVID party.
How counterproductive is that?
The global aid thing.
It was a celebrity thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was she in that?
I think so.
I think she was the headline act with Elton John.
Oh, I'm going to Google Lady Gaga COVID concert.
And the only thing that's going to come up is the top news. Yeah, you're right.
Forget it.
I'll just take your word for it.
It happened.
It's true.
Okay.
No. You can't find it, can you? Together at home. Yep. Got it. Yeah, you're right. Forget it. I'll just take your word for it. It happened. It's true. Okay. No.
You can't find it, can you?
Together at Home.
Yep, got it.
Oh, I remember that.
That piece of shit where everyone was on Zoom.
One World, Together at Home, a global citizen concert hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, performed
by Lady Gaga.
I do remember that.
All right.
Well, Gaga, cancel.
We'll never play her music on this radio show again.
You're confused, mate.
She'll be doing things to you.
I think he's a turncoat as well, Jen.
He'll come back in a week.
Yeah, you'll love her.
You'll hear her new music out at Stonewall with one gin and tonic in you.
I'm not saying I'm committing to being off her for the rest of my life.
I just said, are you a bit off her at the moment?
I think that's very ordinary going on stage five times with COVID.
Yeah, that's a bit off.
We did this show with COVID, though.
Happily admit that.
Did we?
Yeah, from home.
We stayed at home.
Oh, yeah.
We did it over Zoom.
I don't think I was ever infected while I was doing the show.
I can't remember.
No, I will admit this.
I did the show with gonorrhea.
We knew that.
Yeah, I knew that.
And then, Jenny, you did it with, I mean, we don't want to go into it, but the warts.
I just do every episode with poise and elegance.
Poise and elegance?
Poise and elegance.
Oh, sorry, I misheard you.
Yeah.
Is it just me?
That's enough of these two.
Now let's hear, and is it just you?
Yeah, if you're featured on the show you will win a limited edition
deluxe Is It Just Me

you could say money can't buy.
I'm just hoeing into that honey cake.
I got some of Jenna's popcorn.
I will say it's your birthday, so I'll go light on you.
You're a fucking bitch.
Okay?
Thank God you held back.
Yeah.
You know, I'm showing some restraint, but this is disgusting.
These are delicious.
I was at the Easter show and they gave me this to feed the cows.
Mitchell, this is shocking.
I don't mind the popcorn.
It's pig week.

Yep.
Don't forget, Riding Reporter Oscar joining us on Wednesday for Pig Week Part 2, I guess.
Today, let's go to the Central Coast.
Sherry is joining us.
Sherry.
Let's give her a dial.
All right.
Is it food related for Pig Week?
No, it's definitely not.
Oh.
It's workplace drama.
Oh, shit.
What would we know about that?
Hello.
Oh, hi, Sherry.
Hello.
Sherry or Cherie?
It's Cherie.
Oh, Cherie.
Of course it's Cherie. Happy Pig Week, Cherie. Happy Pig Week. Oh, hi, Sherry. Hello. Sherry or Cherie? It's Cherie. Oh, Cherie. Of course it's Cherie.
Happy Pig Week, Cherie.
Happy Pig Week.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I'm on Pig Week and I made that post not long ago.
When is Pig Week happening?
Yes, it is.
Mitchell said you get a pig for Pig Week, so I booked you, Cherie.
I feel like you – no, I'm saying I feel like you are an idiot pig.
That is the highest compliment for our listeners.
That is. Oh, my God. I feel honoured. Yeah an idiot pig. That is the highest compliment for our listeners. That is.
Oh, my God.
I feel honoured.
Yeah, idiot pig.
Well, think about it.
It means they listen to the show and they partake in pig week.
All that means on pig week, if you're a pig, is you're partaking.
What's going to be your guilty pleasure?
What are you going to indulge in for pig week, Sheree?
Well, right now I have COVID.
Oh, fuck.
I can't taste or smell anything at the moment, but I have been having a lot of ice cream
to help with my sore throat.
And she's got five concerts.
I was just about to say the same thing.
She's got a salgeron.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, you've got an issue.
Just you.
Now, I was reading your messages.
This is workplace drama.
Give us all the details.
Use fake names if you want.
I want the goss that's going on and we'll try and help you.
Oh, interesting. Okay, alright, no worries.
Bradley, we'll count you in
and hit us, okay? Okay, hit me, Bradley.
Is it
just me or
Is having a co-worker
that is a complete brown nose
completely fucked up?
Well, we kind of deal with Jenna and it's all right and she's part of the show.
Now, Mitchell, if you had to explain for the internationals, brown noser?
A brown noser is someone who is so far up your arse that their nose is brown.
Or the arse of others.
Or the arse of others that their nose is brown from other substances.
You can, you know, I don't have to be a scientist to work that out.
Someone who is just so in your business.
Such a fucking suck up as well.
Correct.
You know what, we're not brown nosy.
In my days, I was probably a bit of a brown, in my early days, I was a bit of a brown nosy.
I think you've got to have an element of brown nosing to make progress, you know?
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
Why?
What's going on for you, Cherie?
Well, the woman who I work with, she is always late and when she does come in, she uses her mum's poor health
as an excuse.
Wait, do you suspect that it's not accurate?
No, I don't believe her at all because...
Her mum's been dead for years.
Oh my God, it's a Gypsy Rose situation.
Because she always told me that she could not stand her mum and she's been into a lot
of therapy because of her mum and now all of a sudden she's moved in with her mum and she's taking care of her.
All her performance at work is completely lacking and I've had to
pick up the pieces. So without giving too much away, I know you probably don't want to
give too many details, what is the dynamic? Is she above you?
Is she even playing field as you in terms of the hierarchy, the ladder?
She's on the same level as me but because she's been with the company longer,
she likes to think that she has power over me.
She thinks she's more senior than you.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
And let me guess, she's crap at her job.
She can be, yeah.
Like, she's made a lot of mistakes, but if I make a mistake or anything,
she'll send me a very long, detailed email,
an on-step-by-step guideline on how I should do my job.
Oh, I don't like that.
You know, I saw a TikTok this week and it said, if you're starting a new job, follow
these steps to have the most relaxing time at work.
And I went, I'll have a watch of this.
I've been in the same workplace for fucking nine years.
But anyway, I'll watch it.
They say that if you start at the job, you get a new job, you get in, you do the bare
minimum, you do your minimum hours, you just come in, you don't cause a fuss, you don't do any extra work, any extra days, and you set those boundaries.
They will then learn that that's you setting your boundaries and they won't expect any
more.
But the moment you try and do a little bit extra, they're like, oh my God, look at them
go.
Because so many times-
I did the exact opposite.
I did the exact opposite.
So now I've got such a high bar set that when you kind of have a day where you're doing
the same amount as everyone else,
they go, ooh, lazy day, small day for you.
I remember I already learned that lesson the hard way
because I was going above and beyond to be like,
look how much I can fit into a day.
And then that became the precedent.
So when Jenna started, I was like, don't go overboard.
Less is more.
Set the expectation that that's what you can do in a day.
Did she listen to me?
No.
She did the fucking opposite. I did the opposite. Jenna's got severe burnout do in a day. Did she listen to me? No. No.
She did the fucking opposite.
I did the opposite.
Jenna's got severe burnout.
Yes, severe.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
So what's the plan from here?
This is my suggestion.
We find the mum.
We find the mum to see if she's real.
We get as much info as we can.
Oh, the bitch in Cherie's office.
Yeah, we do a stakeout.
We see if she's real.
Like, imagine if I get binoculars and give me the home address.
I look, and guess what? I see a mum in the curtains. I go. We see if she's real. Like, imagine if I get binoculars and give me the home address. I look, and guess what?
I see a mum in the curtains.
I go, oh, the mum's real.
And before I drive off, I take one last look.
It's actually a mop with a bed sheet over it. And I go, that's a fake mum.
Imagine.
Oh, my God.
Cherie, is there anyone else in the office that's on your side?
Like, do people quietly hate her behind her back?
No, I feel like it's me against everyone.
Because that's what I mean.
She sucks up everyone.
Like there's days where she comes in, she won't even apologise to me for being late,
but yet she'll give all the other staff members and even the boss like some Tim Tams or some donuts and she's like, oh, I'm so sorry.
But if my manager, because I've said a few things to my manager about my concerns.
And as soon as my manager says something, she starts playing victim and she starts crying.
She's like, I can't cope.
I'm going through so much at the moment.
And I'm like, oh, fuck off.
But then I feel like a bitch for saying that, you know.
And you're just sitting there crossing your fingers going, fuck me.
I hope she resigns one day.
Yes.
How long have you been in the job putting up with this rat?
I've been putting up with it three and a half years.
Yeah, I'd be looking elsewhere if I were you.
Believe me, I'm trying, but it's just been so hard to try and get my wages matched.
And because of the financial crisis, I don't really want to start from scratch and work my way up again.
No, you're right.
I feel like I've invested so much.
And yeah, it's just so hard.
Like sometimes I do feel like my manager has clicked onto her,
but then she feels bad because she starts crying and she's like,
what do I do?
I'm like, I don't know.
Fire the bitch.
I don't know.
Yeah, that's always an excuse.
It's the sick family.
I saw it on TikTok.
God, I'm really on TikTok a lot this week.
The people that say, and I am very guilty of being this person,
they go, hey, do you want to come for drinks tonight?
And they go, or drinks this afternoon for my birthday?
And they go, oh, sorry, I can't.
I'm at work till five.
Then it's my dad's birthday dinner.
You seen that trend?
Yeah, that's you as fuck.
That's me to a T.
I'm like, how many fucking birthdays and anniversaries do your family have in one year?
It's called the dad's birthday dinner.
There's someone that always just has a dad's or a mum's
or a family member's birthday. It me that i'm the person and i feel
like i'm proud of that and maybe she's that person she's in a similar bucket where she's like oh i've
got a sickness someone's unwell you know there's a real category of person that uses that as an
excuse but going to an event like how your family does well i see it because i follow you on
instagram i see all your advantages all go choice, yeah. You all go out.
But when you're going out to an event, that's fair.
But when you are doing bad and poor performance at your work
and you blame the mum, that's where I draw the line.
Listen, we're going to give you Jenna's contact
because she performs under at work and we'll let you talk to her.
One underperformer to another.
You can deal with it privately.
Are you okay with that, Jenna?
Yeah, let's do it. Perfect. Two underperformers.
You could start a podcast. A couple of
underperformers. The spin-off
of the show. We'll send you our
Totally Tote Bag, the deluxe edition,
and we'll get that out to you very soon. Pricekeeper Jenna will
send it. I hope you're feeling a bit better soon, Cherie.
Thank you. You know what? You know what? This day
really, you've made me so happy
today because, you know what the funny thing is?
I was actually just making a tea and I was using my mug.
Oh, what about our mug?
Bless you.
I'm like, fuck, yes.
Oh, that's perfect.
Perfect timing.
Serendipitous.
I'm just sorry if I sound crappy.
I'm so sorry.
No, you sound really fine.
No, you've got COVID.
We love you.
Thank you for listening to the show.
Make sure you buy something to pick out while you listen to the episode too.
Yeah.
Oh, believe me.
As soon as I'm better, I'm going straight down to Red Roots.
I'm getting some rooster rolls.
Fuck yes.
Yes.
There she is, the idiot pig herself, Cherie.
Sorry, Tunnel.
Goodbye.
Happy Pig Week.
I hung up on her.
That was the most pathetic applause for me.
I went, happy pig week.
I did two claps.
Two singular claps and no one else joined in.
I didn't clap.
I was like, happy pig week. That's very Cheery. I clap all the time. Well done. All right, else joined in. I didn't clap. I was like, happy pig week.
That's very cheery.
I clap all the time.
Well done.
All right, let's go.
That's us done today.
Sure, let's get out of here.
But we'll be back on Wednesday for more piggery.
Yes.
We have pig week one, then we have pig week two, the piglet.
This is the pig and then there's the piglet on Wednesday.
Pig in the city.
I was going to say pig week in the city.
Were you?
The babe reference.
Mine, you know what? I'm going to say pig week in the city. Oh, were you? The babe reference. Mine, you know what?
I'm going to just tease my little pig week snack.
It's my current favourite candy that I'm living on.
Like, it's so good.
It's available at Coles and Mollies.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, because we're bringing another plate on Wednesday.
Yeah, another plate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just a simple bag of candy.
I reckon you're going to have leftover honey cake as well, Jenny.
Surely we can eat more of that on Wednesday.
Well, it's Jenna's birthday, so let's go so she can celebrate.
Thanks for listening and we'll see you very soon.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
We love you.
Thank you.
See you, idiots.
Bye, pigs.
Bye-bye.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We pretend the show is done, but it isn't.
I keep talking shit here.
I reckon I'm starting to get the crash.
I had the sugar high, and now it's starting to get a little bit like, ooh.
No, I'm still on the high.
You sure?
Yeah, still got it, baby.
It's in my system.
But when I crash, you're all going to fucking hate it.
It's going to be really dark.
You are going to be so useless.
It's all right.
Jenna, what are you doing tonight for your birthday?
It's not until Tuesday, mate.
Yeah, it's on Tuesday.
That's a good point, yeah.
We're actually going out for lunch.
You and your partner.
Who the fuck's we?
She doesn't want to talk about them.
No, no.
It's my work colleagues.
Yeah.
It's actually the station I work with's party that I've now renamed as my birthday party.
Oh, right.
Is there a party?
It's a radio station event.
Yeah.
You know, I've been using the WSFM studio to record my show.
Why? Because there's studio issues here. Yeah. It's just Pepsi station event. Yeah. You know, I've been using the WSFM studio to record my show. Why?
Because there's studio issues here.
It's just Pepsi Palace is falling apart.
And we had to use Jenna's studio and Jenna had to record my cameras for me.
Jenna produced my radio show, basically.
Oh, my gosh.
So she worked.
Holy fuck.
But it was weird because the position of power was off.
Normally, you know, I'm a diva to my producers.
Get me this.
So I said to Jenna, I went, Jenna, can you please get me a pen? Jenna got me a pen,
Mitchell. She got me a pen. Oh my god.
She printed pages for me. I wouldn't even ask her for a pen
because I'm like, I'd have to hold her hand through the whole
process. Oh, nobody needed to hold my
hand. I didn't. No, I didn't want to hold your
hand. I kept insisting. I'm like, is that how you work
24-7? Hand-holding?
So there's a difference between podcast
Jenna and work Jenna. That's interesting. Yeah.
Because when she's in front of other people,
she feels she has to put on a certain character.
But in this room, she is just a cow.
Did you see someone posted in the group not long ago saying,
just a random question, is Jenna a producer on the show?
And I'm like, I wish.
And that was the first comment.
I'm like, no, I'm going to shut this down.
She was.
Jenna was originally. That's what she was meant to be. A no, I'm going to shut this down. She was. Jenna was originally.
That's what she was meant to be, but it didn't happen.
I just didn't do the work.
We're not really sure.
No, she hasn't left.
Should we read out a review?
Because I actually got one sent to me, which I thought was so funny.
Someone said, did you realize that that reviewer has edited her review yet again?
Oh, hot diggity dog.
What are you doing?
Hot diggity dog edits it every single week, I think, to get a shout out.
Well, it's not happening anymore.
We put our foot down last week.
Okay, I'm not reading it out.
Oh, actually, now I'm curious.
What the fuck she said this time?
She hasn't changed the body of it, the copy.
She's just downgraded it to two stars.
What?
What?
You know what?
Hot diggity dickhead, could you please amend that?
To be fair, though, reviews, I guess, can be changing because it's not like a one-off thing.
You know, like reviews your opinion on something changes.
So maybe she's, you know, onto something.
Why wouldn't she make the word scathing?
It's two stars and then all this praise.
It makes no sense.
Anyway, what else is there?
I don't know.
People are dumb.
Now, this is in a review, but we got a comment on one of our videos that I wanted to read out.
And I'll add them.
It was rbag4i5.
This seems like a handsome fellow in the profile picture.
Oh, nice.
Cute little twink.
They say, the other Mitch has had a glow up.
This is on one of our reels.
The other Mitch has had a glow up.
Sorry, darling Mitch.
You seem to be going the other way.
Was that you that replied, which Mitch, please?
We need clarity.
I said, who are you calling fugly clearer with the Mitches, please?
And they never replied.
But you can't just do that.
I have a feeling they were insinuating that you've had a glow up and I look revolting.
I took it away.
Because it came from my Instagram.
I collaborated on the reel.
So it was my profile and they follow me.
So I think they were saying to me, the other Mitch looks amazing.
You, however, as in me, you, however, have gone the other way, which is really,
really charming. No, I don't think
that's true. The one time
that I couldn't be bothered doing
my hair, slapping on a bit of face
in the studio, the one time I just
rolled out of bed, chucked on a messy bun
and a t-shirt, and that's the comment I get. I've gone
the other way. I'm looking at the video. I've glowed it down.
I mean, we both, I think we both
look good. You look, you are slimmer, you're the most toned you've glowed down. I mean, I think we both look good. You look, but you are slimmer.
You're the most toned you've ever been.
And, you know, I've lost the weight to it.
But I'm going the other way, apparently.
But what's the other way?
What do they mean?
And then you've had a glow up and I'm looking worse.
But you don't.
Like, factually, you don't.
Don't listen to the fucking haters.
What an idiot.
Hang on.
Hypothetically, we've switched it.
He said to me, I've had a glow up.
You, however, cheer.
You've gone the other way.
And I'll find where his mother lives and I'll kill her. Yeah, I was going to say, now your attitude's changed. If that was me, I've had a glow up. You, however, Chirri, you've gone the other way. And I'll find where his mother lives and I'll kill her.
Yeah, I was going to say, now your attitude's changed.
If that was me, I'd be down with you.
You were like, don't listen to trolls.
And now you're like, motherfucker.
Hold on.
Well, I think fair is fair.
Yeah.
Why don't I find his profile and we can do a review of what he might not do?
I don't mind.
What was the real?
It was one of our most viral ones.
Yeah, it was the extra medium one.
Constantly going viral these days.
Here we go.
Rbag4i5.
Follow back.
Oh, he's in Brisbane.
Oh, he's an Aussie listener.
Oh, so he follows you.
Did you call him from Instagram?
I'm on the Couple of Mitches page.
Yeah, let's call him.
Yeah, because he never replied clarifying which Mitch he mentioned.
I was curious, even though I'm pretty sure I know who he's saying it is.
Oh, he's messaged us in the past.
Has he?
He's just laugh-reacted to a story, but it's me in the story, so maybe
he's a cheery liker.
I'm just calling him.
What? Yeah, his name's Russell Brown.
Oh. He's very handsome. I can't
take that from him. Oh, here we go.
Tell him he's on the podcast, by the way.
I'll turn the camera on because it's me.
If it was Coombs, he'd crash his car.
Russell.
He's answered.
Hello?
Hi, Russell.
It's Mitch Chury here.
We're on the podcast.
We're on the podcast.
We're not mad.
We're recording the show.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
I'm at work, unfortunately.
Okay, quick question.
We'll be quick.
We just want to know, we saw your comment saying one of us has gotten
fugly and the other one's had a glow up.
We're not mad.
We're just confused.
We don't know who you're talking about.
You have gotten cuter and, unfortunately, Coombsie, yeah.
The other way.
No, go on.
Finish your sentence.
I insist.
Thank you.
Yuck!
Yuck!
Block the bastard.
Oh, my God.
The gall on that gorgeous twink.
I don't even know what he looks like.
Mitchell, he was hiding his face, let me tell you.
All I could see with his hair, it's receding.
Oh, so is mine.
I can't really criticise that.
Wow.
There you go.
God, he's got some, he's brazen, isn't he?
Wow.
I love that he was brave enough to comment that, but also doubled down when questioned
again.
Oh my goodness.
And he didn't seem to hesitate or feel bad.
Wow.
That's really funny.
Oh God. Well, he doesn't follow me.
So he clearly can't be that into me. When you say to people who leave a comment, I'll say that to me in real life.
He really did. Yeah. Well, he didn't actually say anything and the other Mitch, yeah, that was it.
So how am I to interpret that? The definition of a bitchy gay.
Mitchell, you are gorgeous and you are beautiful.
You know that.
You know, if I wasn't tied up, if you weren't tied up and Sean died in a tragic crash,
I'd offer you sympathy and I'd come over to bake dinner and I'd help.
And then one night my hand would be on your knee.
The next we'd watch Netflix.
And then by the end of the night, well, Isabella would be locked out of the room.
Let's just put it that way.
Is this assuming that Stephen is also deceased or are you just flat out cheating?
That's what I said.
I would never.
Because you said if Sean died.
I'm just saying if Sean died and I wasn't locked up.
Oh, right.
That's also not a good phrase.
I'm not locked up.
I'm consensually falling.
Isn't it interesting?
Anyway.
I'm so glad we got to the bottom of that.
Don't let it knock you. Poor Isabella. I'm still eating my cake. Okay, I'll make you feel better. I've so glad we got to the bottom of that. Poor Isabella.
I'm still eating my cake.
Okay, I'll make you feel better.
I've got to complain about my radio show this week.
Yeah, sorry about that.
She said, I've listened to Mitch for years and have enjoyed him thoroughly,
but he turned out to be a right royal cunt.
Whoa.
Okay.
Why?
Because I was rude to her on the show.
She wanted a tablet and she couldn't care less.
Oh, she didn't give you the,
woo, I'm so excited reaction you wanted.
No, it wasn't even that.
She was like, oh, cool, thanks.
Oh.
I heard someone on Nova.
No offense.
That's all right.
I was listening to The Rival.
I heard someone on Nova the other day win $10,000
and they were so underwhelmed.
And I was like, oh my God,
not even from a radio production point of view
where I'm like, oh, shit, call her.
I'm like, as a listener, that is so awkward to listen to.
She's just like, dang.
Oh, no.
We're making an on-air product.
It's really awkward.
Here's a little hack and insight.
Jenny, you can attest to this.
If you want to win something on the radio, just pretend you're on ADD drugs.
Just go ham.
We want you to sound insane.
We truly want you to sound insane.
You need to sound like a perky fuckwit.
Yeah.
You were rude to this iPad winner, were you?
Her phone line was terrible and she wasn't nice.
So I said, ban her from the show to my team.
And then I said, honestly, that's really pissed me off.
I'm not impressed with that.
And you know what?
Don't give her the iPad.
Don't give her the tablet.
Okay.
So to me, it's obvious that you're just fucking about.
That's a joke.
I was teasing.
I was teasing.
Yeah.
And to be honest, she doesn't deserve it.
No, and it was a tablet.
So she made a complaint.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A full on complaint that had to be investigated.
What do you mean?
Well, when I get a complaint, it needs to be investigated
because if she just emails, it's a slap on the wall.
To the station.
Correct.
Oh, so she went full communication media authority on you.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Oh, baby's first ACMA complaint.
Yay!
Congratulations.
I know, isn't that nice?
Certainly not the last.
No, fingers crossed. Well, this has been a really nice pig week. I know, isn't that nice? Certainly not the last. No, fingers crossed.
Well, this has been a really nice pig week.
I've really enjoyed it.
Well, it's not over yet, baby.
What's happened?
We've got a whole fucking Wednesday episode.
Oh, you're right.
I thought, oh my God, he's got to pull a croquembouche out his hole.
Couldn't get it out quick enough.
The croquembouche.
I reckon that sour shit you gave me, the sour prawn cake, has really knocked me around.
I went feral for about 10 minutes and now I've come crashing down.
Oh, Mitchell, please.
Oh my God, I'm due for my Dexys, that's why.
And Mitchell, can you please taste a Twinkie?
They were $20 for that box.
Try a Twinkie.
Stephen.
Oh, I couldn't possibly.
Why?
No.
Come on, Jenny, you have to.
I couldn't possibly.
I don't want a Twinkie.
I bought them. I know, but I already feel ill. What's wrong I couldn't possibly. I don't want a Twinkie. I bought them.
I know, but I already feel ill.
What's wrong with me?
Why don't we all share one Twinkie?
Okay, I'll have a bite of a Twinkie.
Okay, here are the Twinkies.
So Twinkies are...
I'm just going to have my Dexys as well.
That'll keep me going.
Twinkies are by Hostess.
They're a famous American candy.
I think everyone knows what a Twinkie is, don't they?
For the Australian listeners.
How do you even explain them, though?
They're like a little muesli bar made of cake with cream and shit in the middle.
Yeah, it's like a little cream bun, but it's full of preservatives.
Oh, I actually feel sick just looking at it, and I'm not even lying.
All I had for breakfast today was an apple, because I was like, I need some fruit in me,
because after pig week, oh, fuck.
So it's a banana Twinkie.
Oh, that changes everything.
I'll have some.
Do you want banana? Yeah. Oh, really? I love banana flavoured shit. Oh, it smells So it's a banana Twinkie. Oh, that changes everything. I'll have some. Do you want banana?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
I love banana flavoured shit. Oh, it smells like a vape.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, it's oily.
There you go, Mitchell.
Thanks.
Here we go.
Cheers.
We're not going to all eat at once.
That's gross.
Oh, wow.
What do you reckon?
When compared to the honey cake.
I'm going to have mine.
It just doesn't hold a flame.
What a banana in it.
Oh, that's beautiful, actually.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
Really, you love bananas.
That's real nice.
Fuck oath.
It's like a banana milk.
Yeah, it is like a banana milkshake.
Oh, that's yum.
That's all we need.
That's delicious.
Now, you have to try a crybaby milk wax bottle sour cap.
Sorry?
I really want to try one of these.
Can you pass me a blue one?
A crybaby sour mini drinks.
Is it actual liquid?
Yeah, I want a red one.
Inside a tiny little bottle.
The American listeners will know about this.
We don't have them in Australia.
It just looks like what you'd get soy sauce in for your sushi.
Yeah, little fish.
So apparently what you do is you bite.
Here we go.
Thank you.
You bite the top.
It's a wax.
You bite the top. What did you just do?, thank you, you bite the top, it's a wax, you bite the top.
What did you just do?
Bite on the top?
Bite the top, and then you bite a hole in the bottom as an air vent, and then you, like,
it's like.
Oh, that sounds like a lot of work.
Or you can just suck it.
Is it edible, the bit you bite off the top?
Wait, did you just put the whole bottle in your mouth?
Yeah, I did.
Oh, you eat the bottle as well?
Yeah, it's true.
Oh, can you?
Are you sure?
You don't swallow the wax, you spit it out the air vent. Oh, can you... Are you sure? You don't swallow the wax.
You spit it out the end.
Oh, that's fucked up.
I'm not swallowing the wax.
I'm not putting it in my mouth.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Oh, that's horrible.
Oh, yuck.
Oh, that's foul.
It's really, really sour.
Oh.
Oh, yuck.
You've just pulled the wax out of your mouth. Now I'm misophobic. That's disgusting. Everything that's foul. It's really, really sour. Oh, yuck. You've just pulled the wax out of your mouth.
Now I'm misophobic.
That's disgusting.
Everything that's just taken place.
Oh, yuck.
Can I have a red one?
I really want another one.
Do you want to finish mine?
Yeah, go for it.
I'm not having it.
God, that is putrid.
Remember those brain liquors?
Yeah.
That you get from the canteen?
It's like that, but instead of just doing a roll-on on your tongue,
you just scald the whole thing.
That's vile.
Stop putting the wax in your mouth.
That's so unsettling.
It's delicious.
Really?
Why'd you get all this sour shit?
Come on, Jenna, try it.
I did.
Come on, Jenna, just do a shot.
It's your birthday.
Oh, no, that's really...
It's like medicine.
Okay.
I'm not going to waste it.
No, that's like yuck.
Oh, there's no bin in here.
What are you?
Okay, I'm wrapping this shit up because you guys aren't making any effort to describe what you're doing.
I'm like a...
The listeners are very confused.
I'm like a cow.
A cow.
Cow.
God.
Oh, that was gross.
They were delicious.
I really like those.
If you like sour, you'll really like those.
I don't like sour, and thereby I fucking despise those.
I need water.
I feel so dehydrated.
Oh, I've got a bit if you want something.
I don't know.
I've got a bottle out there.
Let's wrap the episode.
Thank you for listening, idiots.

I'm seeing more photos of the Ears one I designed as opposed to the I'm With Idiot ones.
But I know for a fact people have ordered the I'm With Idiot ones.
No, they have.
They just haven't posted photos.
The I'm With Idiot ones are funny.
They're cute.
I like them.
You can wear it out and about and people will be like, funny, you're an idiot.
But then it's like a deeply coded, no, I listen to this podcast.
