This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Hello you. Hello you.
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
I got a complaint about my radio show this week.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello you. Hello you.
Hello pigs and piglets.
Pig Week continues.
Yes.
Second half of Pig Week.
Welcome back.
It's so exciting.
So, Pig Week, once again, for those that don't know,
we encourage you to give yourself 100% permission to be a fucking pig.
Correct.
Have a guilt-free feast.
Because we're doing it too.
Don't count the calories.
Just have a pig out.
Enjoy.
Yeah.
Just pig.
Want to show you what I brought? My pig
wig? Oh, yes. We all bring
a plate each. Correct. I'm hoping
it's better than what you brought for Monday's fucking episode.
I know, American TikTok shop candy. Sorry about that.
My pig is
Price Keeper Jenna. Welcome to the show.
Yay! Bye, Jenna.
Let's all eat the rich.
You wealth hoarder.
No, what I brought is Daralee. Get this, licorice all sorts, but they're all raspberry licorice.
Oh, okay.
That's encouraging because I'm not one for licorice generally.
No, there's actually no licorice in it, just raspberry licorice.
Although, do you reckon, even though you haven't bought actual licorice, do you reckon now that I'm an adult, because I hated licorice as a kid, do you reckon my palate may have changed?
No, I still fucking hate licorice. You do reckon now that I'm an adult, because I hated licorice as a kid, do you reckon my palate may have changed? Yeah, maybe. No, but I still fucking hate licorice. Really? You do? I can't stand it. Black licorice, jelly beans, licorice in general. But I also used to hate pumpkin
and I've come round to that. Have you? What a weird thing to hate. Oh, I hated all vegetables as a kid
and it showed. Really? Yeah, quite clearly that checks out. So that's what I got.
What did you bring, Jenna? I went to Coles
last night and felt like these at the time
and thought that I'd feel like them again.
So I brought some salted pretzels.
Oh, okay.
It's going to make me a bit thirsty while we record, but that's okay.
I can fuck with a pretzel.
They're Coles brand pretzels.
Open them up.
I'll open your pretzels.
You open my Daryl.
They're Coles brand new recipe.
Okay, salted pretzels, you open my Daryl. They're Coles, brand new recipe.
Okay, salted pretzels.
To be honest, I actually think we had a shockingly sweet pig week on Monday,
so I like the savoury element with these.
I agree.
Oh, they're good pretzels, Mitchell.
Try.
Spill them all over the desk.
Just threw the full bag at me.
Sorry, iHeartRadio.
Okay, licorice.
These are, they're having a bit of a moment as well online, the licorice all sorts.
What, now?
Yeah.
Haven't these been around for ages?
This is a brand new invention.
It's just real licorice all sorts.
Never been invented before.
Oh, right.
Okay.
That's salty pretzel, Jenna.
Once again, trigger warning, misophobes.
We're going to be chewing this episode.
Misophobia.
My favourite Harry Potter spell, of course.
If you are listening now, please go to your pantry, get a pig week item,
go and enjoy something delicious. No, go to the shops, go through the drive-thru, whatever you need to do.
Yeah.
All right, I'm going to try the licorice also.
Oh, yeah.
How good is it?
I've had some too.
It's good.
Very nice.
Takes a while to chew, sorry.
That's good.
Yum.
I'm going to have a pretzel
A bit of licorice, a bit of pretzel
Alright, Mitchell, what have you brought for us? Show us
Well, I don't actually have my plate on me yet
Because I've had to enlist backup to get it for me
It's on its way
I've got roving reporter Oscar, a fourth wheel
I've got him on the task
We crossed through him now, in fact
Oh, she's on the screen
Here he is live
Hello, roving reporter Oscar Hello Got him on the task. Oh. We crossed through him now, in fact. Oh, she's on the screen. Here he is live.
Hello, Roving Reporter Oscar.
Hi, girls.
It's Roving Reporter Oscar on duty as today's Uber driver.
Where are you?
You're in a car, it seems.
Where are you in the world?
Well, I'm in a car.
I'm currently at Red Rooster.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
You all know how I feel about fucking Red Rooster.
Yeah.
Underrated takeaway in Australia.
Hold on.
I don't want, I think this is actually illegal.
If Oscar tastes the food for us, it doesn't count.
We need to taste the food.
No, no.
So what's going to happen is he's going to bring it to us.
Oh.
He's currently in the drive-thru and then by the end of the episode,
assuming that the traffic isn't a nightmare,
he should be here with the food.
But it's not just any old Red Rooster, okay?
Did you hear the earth-shattering news that Red Rooster now do fucking meat pies?
Yes, I did.
I did.
I read this. Is that not the Venn diagram of Mitchell Coombs' two loves?
In a nutshell, yeah.
Meat pies and Red Rooster together at last.
Yeah, it screams.
It's beautiful.
It screams you.
I love a fucking servo meat pie. I love Red Rooster together at last. Yeah, it screams you. I love a fucking servo mate pie.
I love Red Rooster.
So now they're doing a chicken and gravy pie at Red Rooster.
And it's a bit out of the way for me, so Oscar's going to pick some up for us.
Can I just say, firstly, you've outsourced your pig week,
which I think idiots will, but no one's voting.
But you need to take that into account when you think of who won pig week.
Oh, is it a competition now? No, but that's, I mean, you've outsourced it. What did you do? What do you mean? Well, you you need to take that into account when you think of who won pig week. Oh, is it a competition now?
No, but that's, I mean, you've outsourced it.
What did you do?
What do you mean?
Well, you sent Oscar to get it.
You didn't even get it yourself.
That's true.
It's a bit out of the way for me to go to Red Rooster.
I used to live right next door in Summerhill, but not anymore.
You were right on top of it.
So, Oscar, are you in the drive-thru yet?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm next in line for the drive-thru.
I'm just waiting for the old fart in front of me to hurry up.
Oh, my God.
There's a line at Red Rooster. Huge.
Well, it's kind of a lunch rush, really. Everyone's
going to Red Rooster to get their stuff.
Oh, don't even start, Mick. So, do you guys
want a pie as well? Oh, fuck yeah, yeah.
I want chips. Alright.
There's no need to shout, Jenna.
We're at the drive-thru, girls. Oh, sorry.
Oh, fuck. I went past
the drive-thru. Alright, alright.
Take a breath, chicken. Hello, hi.
Can I get four of your chicky meat pies?
And chips.
What is it?
The chicken and gravy pies.
Can I get four of those?
Yes.
And a large chips, because Jenna's hungry.
And can I just get a bottle of water, please?
I'm on a detox.
Can I get a bottle of water?
Yes, please, Del.
That's not very pig-weck no it's not yeah that's all
thanks dal all right thank you does he have the company credit card yes no good yeah no i'm
putting it on the kiddio yeah rightly so you've got jenna's chips yeah well i've got jenna chips
i've got me water it's lunch rush they're all off their. It's very good news that Red Rooster is busy.
People always make fun of it for having no customers.
That's true.
No, I know.
Red Rooster was a key sponsor of our show in the early days.
Oh, I still love them dearly.
Look at how much business you've drummed up for them, really, because I'm in the middle
of lunch rush.
I know.
I'm taking credit for the lunch rush.
Yeah, yeah.
This is on our shoulders.
Now, Chook, obviously, you need to get here by the end of the episode
to deliver the pies.
You do have Parramatta Road and Sydney Harbour Bridge to conquer.
So you may or may not make it.
Well, you know what?
Fingers, toes and clits crossed, bub.
Well said.
Get a wishbone from the drive-thru and crack it open
and make a wish that you arrive here on time.
That's right.
Fuck, I kind of want chicken pops as well, actually.
Yeah, I want a rooster roll.
I think my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
Can you reverse up?
Oh, guys, no.
You can add to the order at the window, surely.
I'll go back around.
Hang on.
Oh, poor.
I love a rooster roll.
I'm at the window.
You all need to shush.
Hello.
Can you add to a rooster roll?
Thanks.
Thank you so much.
Oh, is he pretending to not hear us?
Oscar.
Because I've got four people talking to me right now.
Can you all just short, short?
We invite you on our show and the rudeness.
We ask you to add to the order.
Rooster Roll.
Hang on.
I'll go back around.
Just hang on.
Oh, poor Chulkin.
Fucking hell.
Surely you can just say, Jenna learnt to drive in this drive-thru.
Yeah, that's the same one we took Jenna to.
Surely they'll know.
They would have seen the viral here.
Well, I'll ask them when I go back round to the speaker box.
They know me.
We're going to push on with the show.
We'll see you when you get here, Dale.
Yeah, all right, girls.
They're flat out here.
This might delay him, Mitchell, if he goes back around.
Do we want to risk it?
I kind of want me chicken pops.
Look, just what do you want?
I reckon if you can, Chook, just get a rooster roll and some chicken pops and we'll be good.
That's all we want, the extra order.
Rooster roll, chicken pops.
Okay.
All right.
Catch you in a bit, bub.
Catch ya.
We love you, Chook.
Drive safe.
Keep it warm.
Love you, Chooks.
I'll see you all in a bit.
Happy Pig Week.
Happy Pig Week.
I really like this idea.
I think next year I might outsource my pig week.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
I might get someone to fly in an Outburger in LA and report back in a week.
We'll do a week-long pig week.
I'm actually all for it.
I think that's quite genius.
I have the highest hopes for these pies.
I tell you what.
Yeah.
Now, is it made in store or can you buy these at Carl's and Servo's?
Or is this just a Red Rooster exclusive?
Just a Red Rooster.
Wow.
They're going to be nice and fluffy and flaky.
I hope so. I'm going to be so excited.
I hope he gets that rooster roll too. They're my favourite.
So considering it's not peak hour right now, do you reckon
it'll take, what, 20 minutes? I reckon 20 or so.
Let's pal through the show. Yeah, he can update us.
I want my chips.
I hope we have them for you. Your mouth's already
full, mate. We probably should start the show.
If it is your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every week we start the same.
It's with an Is It Just Me?
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
I do not know Mitch's.
And we jump straight in.
It's very straightforward.
My gem, it's about fashion, I guess.
Very vaguely.
What's yours about?
Mine is about my debut on the Australian Broadway stage.
Australian Broadway stage.
In Angell yet.
You know that Broadway in Sydney is like a shit fucking street.
It's a terrible shopping centre.
No, I like the shopping centre.
Yeah, you're right, it's Australian.
I used to live, like, imagine country kid Mitchell.
When I first moved to Sydney, I lived on Broadway.
And didn't that go right to my head?
Of course it did.
This little gay kid from the country being like,
yeah, I live on Broadway now.
But it's not glamorous Broadway in Sydney.
Yeah, if you're not from Sydney, Broadway is not where you want to live in Sydney. It's one of the busiest roads in the country being like, yeah, I live on Broadway now. But it's not glamorous Broadway in Sydney. Yeah, if you're not from Sydney,
Broadway is not where you want to live in Sydney.
It's one of the busiest roads in the city.
I lived on top of a pub.
I know.
Just constant traffic noises, ambulances.
We walked past it once.
That's where I lived.
I thought he was joking.
No, no, dead set.
Is it ambulances as a plural or ambuli?
It's ambulis.
Ambulis.
Ambulis, yeah.
All right, should I go first?
So, wait, you're talking about your appearance
in Angelia
correct
because it's happening
tomorrow night
oh yes you're right
it's Thursday night
correct in 24 hours
and I'm sore
because I've been
at rehearsals
I've got to talk about
yeah let's go
here we go
is it just me
or
do you think
I'm rocking
this Shakespearean
Lululemon look?
Oh.
This is an exclusive first look at my costume for Angelia.
Your costume.
Elizabethan active wear was the brief.
That's my character.
Elizabethan active wear.
Wait, wait, wait.
They sent you a brief.
Did you have to source your own costume?
No, they said give us info on your character.
Oh.
Oh, so you create your own character.
Correct.
That's interesting.
I'm in Angeliauliette tomorrow night
at the time this episode comes out, Thursday the 6th.
You can still book tickets online.
Tickets are actually quite cheap.
You get $69 tickets.
Come on, go and see the theatre.
Jen and I will be there.
Roman Porter Oscar's coming too.
So exciting.
It's very fun.
I know a few of our idiots have booked tickets as well
to come see you.
I'm a little nervous because all week I've been rehearsing
at the Lyric Theatre, which, by the way,
is like a mind-blowing experience. As someone who's studied theatre, it genuinely is like crazy that I'm doing this because because all week I've been rehearsing at the Lyric Theatre, which, by the way, is like a mind-blowing experience.
As someone who's studied theatre, it genuinely is like crazy that I'm doing this.
There must be times when you're like, how the fuck did I end up here?
100%.
It's a very weird situation.
Like you work in radio and now you're doing rehearsals for a theatre show.
Like what the fuck is life?
I always said that.
I can either become an actor the actor's way, which is study, slog it out in auditions, become known for being an actor,
or do the cheat's way, which is kind of get a little bit of profile,
then start acting and use the profile.
Right.
So I've really gone the cheater's way.
It's not fair for the actors that are in acting school.
Sorry.
By the way, I've tried to keep expectations low for our idiots
that might be wanting to book tickets.
I've said you're doing a 0.5 second cameo.
Is it more than that?
I will be on stage at the very start of the show.
Very start, perfect.
The very start.
When the audience enter, the players are already on the stage.
Oh, I love it.
That's all I'm going to say.
There's a bit of improvisation.
Do you have to do a tableau?
There's no tableau.
It's improvisation.
You've seen it, right, Jenna?
I know exactly.
The players are on stage, Mitchell.
What do you mean the players?
I'm not going to spoil anything.
The actors.
The actors, the players. Sorry, I? I know exactly. The players are on stage, Mitchell. What do you mean the players? I'm not going to spoil anything. The actors. The actors.
The players.
Sorry, I'm a trained actor.
The cast.
Right.
But there is the leads, then there are the ensemble, and then there's the players.
The players are, it's an old Shakespearean term, they're just playing.
They're sparring, they're improvising, there's no real lines.
They're just creating the vibe of the show.
They're setting the scene.
So they're meant to be in the background just murmuring?
Correct.
Oh, I bet your murmuring's going to be so fucking loud.
Like extras.
You're going to steal the scene.
Well, my character just happens to be a Broadway singer, doesn't he?
And he happens to have a barotinous laugh.
Imagine if they're in the middle of really tense dialogue
and you just piss yourself laughing.
No, no, so they said to me, the premise of this is end Juliet.
It's what happened if Juliet didn't die when Romeo died, in Romeo and Juliet, right?
So she lives on to live her life.
And Shakespeare is in it.
You hear Shakespeare talking about his play, writing of the play.
So the beginning is they're about to rehearse for a play that Shakespeare's written.
So I'm just an actor in Shakespearean times.
You're acting as an actor.
Correct.
What a mindfuck.
Correct.
So I'm going to hand you my phone.
So if you are bad at acting, that's kind of fine because maybe the actor that you're acting
as is just a bad actor.
Correct.
Oh, that's perfect.
I have footage of myself doing my exclusive choreography.
Are we going to be posting this at a couple of matches?
I'm not allowed.
I've been banned.
What?
Until after the performance.
Oh, okay.
Well, stand by.
We'll post it after Thursday, I guess.
However, you can get an exclusive first look now.
Yes.
So you can first start and have a little swipe through and watch my Corrie, watch me dancing,
and then you can also see my costume.
Would you like to see?
Yes.
Yeah, of course.
Okay, so I'm passing this to you, Jenny.
Ooh.
Hey, that's it.
Two, three.
Ooh, look at you go.
Look at those hips. Oh, shit. Oh, look at you go. Look at those hips.
Oh, my God.
Are you going to be pulling that face?
Because he's like biting his lip going, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I know.
I was so stressed.
It takes so much concentration to dance.
My absolute praise to the JoJo Siwa's of the world.
Dancing is tough.
Like, I had to do a full couple-hour rehearsal,
and I was sweating.
I was exhausted by the end of it.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'll show you my costume, too, if you want to have a look.
I was going to say, that wasn't a costume.
That was just you in all black.
All the characters have an Elizabethan Shakespearean name.
My name is Othello, but they call him Fellow.
That's his name, and this is my costume.
Oh.
Oh, nice.
It's like a red tracksuit. Yeah, it's a red velvet tracksuit. It looks comfy. It's very comfy. And this is my costume. Oh. Oh, nice. It's like a red tracksuit.
Yeah, it's a red velvet tracksuit.
It looks comfy.
It's very comfy.
Hang on.
You're wearing a black shirt underneath.
Are you going to have your boobs out?
Potentially.
Well, please do.
There's still more to come.
And I think they want me to put me in a hat because they said my hair is far too modern.
No.
But that's how people are meant to recognize you.
They've put you in a cameo as a media personality.
Why would they make you unrecognizable?
Well, here's the thing.
No.
Cheery with a hat on. it's fucking insane the difference it
makes.
I wouldn't recognize.
My God.
Really.
It's actually ugly.
It's not ugly.
You just look like a different human.
I do.
It changes my whole body shape.
I did my rehearsal and I was on for the opening.
And then, I'm not joking, I spoke to the PR team and they said, we were impressed with
your skill.
We really didn't think you'd actually take to it.
So we have added an extra scene for you.
Ooh, how far in?
In the middle before intermission.
Perfect.
When they arrive in Paris in France, the nightclub scene I will be appearing in,
and then also they want me on at the end before the finale.
Wow.
Yep.
Okay, so it's not a 0.5 second thing.
It's three 0.5 second things.
I was about to say that, okay, so you're doing two bits, both in the first act.
If I hate it, I can leave intermission.
But no, I've got to stick to the end, which I imagine I would have anyway.
Well, I've gotten permission.
You were both invited to my dressing room after the show, which is next to Casey Donovan
and Rob Mills.
It's in the middle.
Oh my God.
I love Casey.
Yeah.
So you guys can come backstage.
Oh, that's exciting.
You can meet Casey.
We get drinks.
Even beforehand, come in, have a little choc-top
Oh, beautiful
I know, isn't this exciting?
I mean, it is Pig Week after all
It would be appropriate for us to have a choc-top
Totally
So I'm actually
Well, totally
I'm so scared of saying it
I'm genuinely a little nervous, guys
Like, I actually am
No, you look like you were doing well in that rehearsal
Yeah, but it's just being on stage in front of all those people
We do this show and we have millions of listeners
But you don't see them.
I just feel like for something
like this, I know that you've come this
far in life being able to wing it.
This you may not be able to wing.
Do your rehearsals, learn the moves.
Do whatever you need to do to learn the moves.
When I'm doing the TikTok choreography for
the Mardi Gras float and shit, I'll put it in my
own words and write it down on
paper. Like teapot to the right.
It's not called a teapot, but it looks like it.
Yeah, yeah.
That's very true.
Do you get to do the curtain call bow thing?
At the end?
Yeah.
Yes.
He will be playing the curtain.
Yeah, I'm playing the titular role of the N in Angel Leant.
Anyway, I'm excited.
So, idiots, if you're coming, you're going to be in for a good night.
I can't wait.
It'll be fun.
I'm nervous, but here's to new adventures, right?
Can't wait.
All right.
Do you want to do your intro?
Yep, I'm ready.
Let's go, Bradley.
Is it just me or?
Are you not ready to let go of skinny jeans?
Oh, Mitchell, I've already let go.
I know, but I just don't think I can.
Mitchell, let go. I can't. Everyone's saying that they've gone out of fashion, but I've already let go. I know, but I just don't think I can. Mitchell, let go.
I can't.
Everyone's saying that they've gone out of fashion, but I refuse to move on.
It's hard.
I've noticed this about you.
Can I tell you something that I'm keenly aware of with you?
If you only ever wear shorts.
Yeah.
In winter, in summer, in your stand-up shows, in person, you were always in shorts.
You've got great pins.
But I actually thought today, and I'm not lying to you,
I thought I've never seen Coombs in a pair of jeans.
Do you want to hear the irony?
Yeah.
I wear shorts as often as I can because I find skinny jeans too tight
and restrictive.
Mitchell.
And yet I refuse to wear any other kind of pant.
No, you need to get into the baggy.
Look what I'm wearing right now.
No, they don't suit me.
They do.
Baggy, flared, puffy jeans.
It's all the craze.
You can pull them up and make them into shorts if you really want to.
See, I feel like, and this is just my theory for my body shape or whatever, but I feel
like it doesn't suit me if I wear baggy on top and baggy pants.
I just look homeless.
Has to be one or the other.
Tight pant, baggy top, which is what I prefer, or baggy bottom, tight top.
Yes.
Stephen actually taught me this trick.
Stephen said if you do tight top, you've got to have flared bottom,
and if you've got tight pants, you've got to have skinny top.
It's an actual thing in the fashion industry.
Oh, wow.
I'm so in touch with the fashion industry.
No, you are because fashion and styling is all about proportions.
You can't just be a big blob of mess and material or this tight skinny stick.
It doesn't work.
Well, see, I don't like wearing tight shirts or tight jackets.
Like I'm wearing something severely oversized.
I look like an American school bus right now.
Yes, you actually do.
It is huge, but that's how I like it because I've got shoulder problems
and stuff.
I'm wearing a shirt.
It feels really tight and restrictive.
I start getting sore and agitated and claustrophobic.
I can't do a tight shirt.
Oh, Mitchell, but what size are you now?
Would you be like a medium?
As in this jacket right here?
This is fucking XL.
No, you don't need an XL.
You're swimming in that.
But what's your size these days?
I can rock a smaller or medium.
Really?
Yeah.
I think you need to get it.
Why don't we get you a pair of baggy denim pants?
Let me shop for you.
Yeah.
Well, the thing is, last time I tried to branch
out and do something a little different other than skinny
jeans, it was actually Roving Reporter fucking
Oscar who encouraged me to buy these
gorgeous, high-waisted,
flared, denim-y things from Michael
Kors. He used
his staff discount as well, so I was like, oh, I'd be
mad not to. And then when I wore them
the first time, everyone said I looked like I was wearing
fucking mum jeans. Are they the really balloony denim. Yeah. And then when I wore them the first time, everyone said I looked like I was wearing fucking mum jeans.
Are they the really balloony denim?
Yeah.
Yes.
I love them.
They're so comfy.
I think they're cute.
The thing is with fashion, you can't care what anyone else says. Yeah, but your energy suggests that you don't care what people think.
Whereas my energy suggests that I want to look like I don't care, but I really do.
Deep down you do care.
I'm like, someone just tell me that these pants work for me, please.
Because I just, outside of skinny jeans, I'm like, no, it's wrong.
I don't suit a baggy pant.
Would you hire a stylist?
Yeah, absolutely.
I need all the guidance I can fucking get.
You should hire a stylist.
You can even get them.
That sounds easier said than done.
Where the fuck do I find a stylist?
I've got stylist friends.
I've worked with stylists before.
I can connect you.
They're amazing.
And you just work with them on a one-off basis.
You go, buy me six outfits, and they buy them for you.
They create a mood board, Pinterest board.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, any stylist idiots listening right now?
Yeah.
I need all the help I can get.
I put up a story once saying I want style.
When I lost, you know, the weight and I was down a couple different dress sizes,
I'm like, oh, I want to get a new wardrobe.
So I got a stylist to help me and they helped me out with all my wardrobe.
I'll send you my stylist.
But we have different styles.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Very different styles.
Are they going to tailor it to me?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, but I think that's a stylist's job.
Yeah, you want a stylist that knows the brand.
Yeah, they're not just going to give me all this shit that Mitch Terry wears, surely.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Mitchell, this is exciting.
I love fashion and I love style and I feel like you, there's a way we can work with you
a lot.
You've got to know where to shop.
I shop at Essence.
Have you heard of Essence?
No.
No.
Okay.
Even though I despise it with a passion.
Yeah.
King Street, Newtown has got some good shit.
King Street, Newtown's great.
You can buy some thrift items if you want.
It's a revolting place, but it's got good shop.
It's hideous.
You need to search Incu.
You need to shop brands.
Fast fashion's out.
I don't care about brands.
No, it's not brands.
It's the fact that you get good quality garments.
A high quality garment fits different than a cheap one. I am trying to shift my logic about, oh, I'd rather get two t-shirts for 15 because it
feels like a bargain.
Yeah.
I'm starting to be like, I'm going to buy a good one and I'm going to invest.
I did it the other day.
Yeah.
I went to, because I need a good jacket for when I go to fucking South Australia.
Went to, is it industry?
Oh, industry.
Industry.
Yeah.
And it was like over a hundred dollars for
one jacket. I nearly vomited in my mouth. I was like, if I went somewhere cheap, I could get three
for 40. I swear. If I went to the fucking JJ's at the DFO, I'd be walking out with all these thin
fucking jackets that get holes in them within a week. But I was like, now I'm going to invest in
one good one. It felt wrong spending that much money on one jacket, but it's really nice.
How much would you pay for this hoodie that I'm wearing now?
You couldn't pay me to wear it.
If you had to wear it, how much would you pay for this hoodie that I'm wearing right now?
Oh, fuck.
Are you about to tell me how much that costs?
Because I reckon it's going to horrify me.
It's quite a simple hoodie.
Correct.
I'm signing it to Jenna so she has the results.
Okay.
That looks like it'd be maybe at most $59, $60.
Jenna, would you reveal the price?
It is $253.
What?
Here I was feeling bad that our hoodies cost $70.
And that was after we negotiated down.
There used to be more, but $200 for one.
They're sold out.
They're sold out.
I'm hyperventilating.
It's a designer brand called Praying from Los Angeles.
And that's on living rent-free with your fucking parents again.
Must be nice.
Is it just me?
You can follow the show online.
Just search Couple of Mitches.
If you don't, you're a dickhead.
Now, a couple of weekends ago.
Oh, no chewing on Mike.
Sorry, it was pretzels.
I've been talking this whole time.
I've barely had any time to pig.
I've got pretzels in my hoodie basket in the middle.
Where is Oscar?
Oh, he's on his way.
Did you have him on fine mile or something?
I told him to message Jenna when he arrives.
Oh, Jenna, is he far off?
He's still got time.
Yeah.
Anyway, so a couple of weekends ago, by the time you're hearing this,
I did my comedy show in Melbourne.
Anyway, so a couple of weekends ago, by the time you're hearing this,
I did my comedy show in Melbourne.
And when I tell you that never before have there been so many idiots at one of my shows, like our idiots,
and also proudly telling me that they're idiots.
Normally, like a couple of people afterwards might say,
oh, I love the podcast.
But the idiots took over this show.
It was fucking fantastic.
I love that.
There are more of them out in the wild now.
They started screaming out inside jokes and stuff from the audience.
At one point I said, oh, do we have any idiots in the house tonight?
So many people screamed.
And then I said, well, I hope this comedy show makes you feel
at least 2% better.
And they all went, so we do.
Oh, my God.
In unison.
That's so stupid.
Oh, I love that.
Which, of course, we've never said that on this podcast.
I don't know where that came from.
That was just a moment of divine sort of intervention from the Lord.
Why did they say that?
And so anyway, lovely to meet a lot of gorgeous idiots of ours.
And there was one point in the show that I was handed a present
from one of our idiots.
I've brought it here.
It felt fitting to bring it in pig week. She did actually
say to me, oh, it's for
Mitch and Jenna as well. Oh, that's sweet.
I was like, did anyone else hear
nothing? But no, I felt bad.
I better bring it. There's quite a lot to this
gift. Okay, I haven't seen it yet. He's hidden
it very well. It's inside that 12XL jacket
that he's wearing. He's got it inside his pocket.
It's really heavy. Oh, it's in a gold, a rainbow
gold box. Oh my god. I'm going to read the letter that's with it. And then you it inside his pocket. It's really heavy. Oh, it's in a rainbow gold box.
Oh, my God.
Here, I'm going to read the letter that's with it.
And then you want to slide the box over? Yeah, you go.
Oh, fuck me.
It's quite heavy.
They had to put one of those bloody stickers on my suitcase on the flight home that says,
Caution, very heavy.
You might break your back if you lift this suitcase.
Let's have a look.
So it came from Kate and Mitch, who I've met before.
I told Mitch at one of my comedy shows a few years ago,
you're the first straight Mitch I've ever met.
Oh, my God.
Hi, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
This is from Kate and Mitch.
Yeah.
I've put together this gift box for you guys.
I hope you like and enjoy the product.
The T-shirts are from my work, Aussie Broadband.
Oh, my God.
The unicorn oils.
These are cuticle oils for the nails.
Shoddy.
My sister-in-law runs a small nail business, and the oil that is in the pen is unicorn oil. These are cuticle oils for the nails. Shoddy. My sister-in-law runs a small nail business and the oil that is in the pen is unicorn oil.
Fuck yeah.
Her business is Avery Studios.
Can be found on social media.
I'm very interested in that.
Oh, wow.
Step one undies.
Are these?
Oh, fuck.
Sorry.
They're mine.
What are they?
They're underpants.
Sorry.
Okay, sure.
Are they soiled?
No, they're clean.
They're clean.
Yeah, they smell good.
No, so what happened was I was given this huge fucking box as a present and I said that
I was going to tell you about an embarrassing moment.
That's coming soon.
But I was given this huge box as a present and my suitcase, I don't pack lightly for
a weekend.
It was already full.
So in order to fit it in my luggage, I had to shove a lot of my stuff in the box as well.
Like my socks and undies.
I had to be really smart with the space I had.
I can imagine.
Sorry, there's undies still in there.
Marie Kondo.
Oh my God, there's free-strose candy like I brought on Monday.
The lollies, says Kate.
The lollies are from Pennyworth O'Lolly.
This is a small shop in Yarragon, Victoria.
I hope I got that right.
Yarragon.
I love those.
Little sharks. There's grape clouds. There's ne got that right. Yarragon. I love those. Little sharks.
There's grape clouds.
There's neato stress balls.
Oh my God, look at them.
I did shoddy those, but I suppose we can share, can't we?
There's six squishy colours in here.
Let's share.
We can all pick a colour.
There's shower steamers from Flow and Sass.
A lot of small businesses, which I love.
Oh my God, look.
Pigs.
Pigs.
How perfect. We've got little pig lollies. Oh my god, look! Pigs! Pigs! How perfect, we've got little pig
lollies. Oh my god. The wax
melt soap and bath bombs are from Tree Change
Soaps, business run by a lady named Adele.
Wow. That smells great.
Hold on, and is there a why as
to why this is all happening? Just because
she felt like being really fucking generous.
She's so lovely. And so
her name's Kate, right? Yeah.
And I was like, that's so lovely, Kate.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
We really appreciate that.
That's beautiful.
That's thoughtful.
That's generous.
And then later in the show, I referred back to her and I said, what about you, Jess?
Oh, you got her name wrong.
Oh, no.
And she just gave you this box worth quite a bit of money.
Oh, no.
And I just died. And the whole show was being recorded. Would you like to hear this embarrassing moment? Oh, no. And she just gave you this box worth quite a bit of money. And I just died.
And the whole show was being recorded.
Would you like to hear this embarrassing moment?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, go, go, go.
I had a cheery moment.
I was about to say.
Yeah.
That's something I would do.
Here it is.
Over here.
Jess.
Kate.
Kate?
Oh, I was so close.
You know what?
I very, very rarely confidently back in someone's name.
Sorry, mate.
Oh, that's funny.
I would have not got it.
No.
Absolutely not.
I was so fucking embarrassed because you know this about me.
This is another difference between you and I that you will just confidently back in any
name, even if it's not even close.
Whereas I, even if I'm so confident I know someone's name,
I will stop myself from saying it for fear of getting it wrong
because I find that so humiliating getting someone's name wrong.
No, see, if you lean into it and make it a bit,
everyone thinks they're in on the joke as well.
If you forget someone's name, you're all right, Barry.
And then everyone laughs.
See, I couldn't do that.
I was just humiliated because Kate has just given me
this fucking beautiful gift box to share.
Yeah, I know.
There was no occasion.
She just felt like being lovely and generous.
And then I called her fucking Jess.
Well, Kate, you're getting a shout out on this podcast.
Kate and Mitch, thank you for the lollies and the gifts.
Sorry, our darling Mitch forgot your name.
I'm going to do a Facebook post in our group with all the small businesses that she gave a shout out to.
Because I love what she's done here.
Supporting small business.
I'm all about that.
I'm having a gummy shark.
Why a gummy shark?
Oh, not right now.
We're talking.
Oh, I'm going to have a freeze-dried Zappo.
I told you freeze-dried things are in.
But I don't understand, Cherry, how it doesn't bother you that you get someone's name.
Oscar's here.
Okay.
All right.
Can you go get him?
That was pretty good time.
He got here quick.
Yeah. Okay. Red Rooster's on the way. Great. I'm going Can you go get him? That was a pretty good time. He got here quick. Yeah.
Okay, Red Rooster's on the way.
Great.
I'm going to have this one.
No, sorry.
What I was going to say was, I don't know how you can just get someone's name wrong
and have it not embarrass you because it was so mortifying.
I was trying not to go red at the time, even though everyone was just laughing with me,
not at me, but I was just like, oh God, what a fuckwit.
Why did I say Jess and not Kate?
You've got to remember, Mitch, that people forget other people's names all the time.
You can't take it personally.
You can't be perfectionist like that.
Okay.
I'm just going to give you an example.
Earlier, before we started recording, Jay, one of the producers here came in.
Gorgeous Jay from iHeartRadio.
I know that his name's Jay.
I've emailed him several times.
I've met him a bunch of times.
I see him almost every week here in the office, and I know his name is Jay. I'd be prepared to fucking bet my life on the fact
that his name is Jay. And yet when he walked in, I went, hi.
And I stopped myself because for some reason I was like, oh, what if I get his name wrong? Is that because you scarred after
the Lucy incident? No, that's how I've always been, which is why it's mortifying that I confidently
said, Jess! And it was just not even close.
No, you just need to back yourself in.
We had clients come into the Kiss, my night show this week, like 30 people from different
companies that spend money on my show.
They all walked in.
I went, hi, what's your name?
He went, Paul, hi, what's your name?
Lucy.
And I can't remember everyone's names.
I just met Meredith and Paul, like made up these names.
And everyone went, ah, ha, ha.
But I didn't actually know their names.
See, that's funny because you did it on purpose.
But when I got it wrong on accident, I don't know why it embarrasses me so much.
I had a cheery moment.
You know what?
Do you think cheery moments embarrass me these days?
No.
You just push through.
You make it your brand.
Forgetful.
You know?
You just pretend that it's part of your shtick.
I'd be so embarrassed if I was you.
I don't know how you leave, to be honest.
We are very different people.
I could not care less what someone else thinks in that moment.
Oh, no, I'm very like, I don't care what people think in certain areas,
but there's something about getting the name wrong.
Because I think it's so flattering and so charming when someone gets it right.
When someone remembers your name and uses your name, I'm like,
that is lovely.
That is beautiful.
So if they get it wrong, it's like, oh, fuck.
Mitchell, if someone got your name wrong who you just met,
would you genuinely be upset? Nah, it wouldn't make me feel great. It wouldn't make me feel shit. But, like, oh, fuck. Mitchell, if someone got your name wrong who you just met, would you genuinely be upset?
Nah, it wouldn't make me feel great.
It wouldn't make me feel shit.
But, like, you know Judith Lucy, the comedian?
Yes.
I've seen her live a few times, and one thing she's really good at
is if she does a bit of audience interaction with someone,
she'll ask their name and then go down the whole front row,
ask every single person's name, and she'll remember them
and call back to them throughout the show.
Yeah.
Because she'll get a bit of information about them.
If one of them is divorced, she'll be like, am I right, Betty?
She remembers their name.
Yeah, see, that's such a powerful tool.
Right?
It's impressive.
And I remember being like, my goal is to do that at one of my comedy shows.
Ask someone's name and then call back to it.
So when I said, Jess, I was like, fuck me.
That's why it cut deep.
I get you.
I'm just never going to be able to be that person.
You know, when I met Rebel Wilson, the one thing that I remember the takeaway.
Is that it wasn't Rebel Wilson, it was Madonna.
And you got her name wrong.
Was that she would talk to me with my name and it was so magnetic.
Yeah.
We'd be ordering dinner and she'd be like, oh, Mitch, do you like salmon or are you a kingfish boy?
I'm like, no, I'm good.
Oh, Mitch, can you pass the soy sauce?
Yeah.
And just the fact that she uses your name, it calls you in.
It's such a powerful tool.
Kate Langbrook's really good at that too.
She's our mate.
We're trying to get her back on the podcast soon.
But if she does an interview, let's say, I don't know, the project.
Yeah.
Whatever.
The whole interview will be like, well, Waleed.
The thing is Waleed.
I'm like, oh God, I wish I could be that bitch.
There's a science behind it.
There's something blocking.
I can't say the name in case I get it wrong.
You're probably scared of saying it wrong.
You're scared of failing.
Push through.
But this time I wasn't scared.
I just confidently fucking believed she was Jess.
Also, go easy on yourself.
You're up there.
You're trying to remember pages and pages of material.
Yeah, you're right.
It's hard.
Anyway, I'm going to indulge my fucking sorrows in some Red Rooster.
Let's get Oscar in here.
I'm so excited.
Bring him in.
He's here, everyone. Oscar's arrived with the Red Rooster. Let's get Oscar in here. I'm so excited. Bring him in. He's here, everyone.
Oscar's arrived with the Red Rooster.
Happy Pig Week, Chook.
Happy Pig Week, girl.
Happy Pig Week, you pig.
Oscar, a great example in climbing the ladder from an idiot to a pig.
You're now part of the payroll.
How'd you go in the traffic?
Obviously not bad.
You weren't that long.
You were only 20 minutes or so.
No, I floored it.
Smell that chook.
That's incredible.
And so is the Red Rooster.
I am drooling at the mouth just looking at these.
So have you had a nibble of your Red Rooster chicken gravy pie yet?
Or are you trying it for the first time with us?
No, I'm trying it for the first time with the girls.
I thought, you know, all the chooks should try the chook together.
No, I think that's right.
Did you go back a second time in the drive-thru to get our other shit?
Yeah. God, you're good. Good for you. You're a good girl. Of course I did. Here I think that's right. Did you go back a second time in the drive-thru to get our other shit? Yeah.
God, you're good.
Good for you.
You're a good girl.
Of course I did.
Here's a pie for you.
Thank you.
Because I was so stressed out, I've already forgotten what was in the pie.
So I believe it's chicken and gravy.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, chicken and gravy.
Well, I'm actually going to Google it because I have never heard of this. There's one right before your eyes.
No, no, no.
I want to Google if it's a limited time, if it's a collaboration with someone.
I think it's just a new thing.
Maybe if it goes really well, they'll add it permanently.
Yeah, new pies.
Here we go on their website.
Chicken and gravy pie.
I'm looking at mine right now and it just looks like a gorgeous servo pie.
I thought it might be different in taste or consistency and it'd be something off about it,
but it just looks like every beautiful pie you get from a server.
All right, it does look like a stock standard pie.
I want my chips.
Oh, yeah.
I want Jenna's chips.
Okay, Jenna, calm down.
There's another bag.
They're busy.
Right, now, we have a large...
I'll give you the one that's still full.
Oh, yes, that's mine.
I got hungry on the way back.
You've had some picky bits, have you, on the way over?
Did you get me bloody pops, the chicken things?
Oh, don't even start.
Right, so I got them.
Here you go.
Here's your pox.
Chicken pox.
Chicken pox.
Now, I forgot what they were called because, as we all heard, I was so stressed out in
that drive-thru.
Yeah, of course.
I think out of all the tasks we've given you in your roving reporter duties, that was the
simplest.
We made you investigate the death of a rabbit, and this was stressful?
Yeah, don't even start me.
I went to Red Rooster thinking, no one will be there.
It is the smallest fucking-
A fair assumption.
Yeah.
And it was so unnecessarily busy.
And I went back round and I said, can I get the roll and whatever?
And do you have those chicken pock things?
She goes, what?
And I went, yeah, you know, like-
You couldn't remember the name.
I couldn't remember the name because I was that stressed out.
It's basically what KFC would call popcorn chicken.
Yeah.
Show me.
The Red Roots have a different name for it.
I can't even remember.
No.
So she goes, she goes, what, like nuggets?
I went, no, I want like the chicken things that are nuggets, but aren't nuggets.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're little balls.
And she went, I don't know what you're talking about.
I was like, they're just balls.
Like, you know, the little thing.
And she goes, oh, do you mean like the popcorn chicken knockoff? Loved her. Oh, that's so funny. And I was like, oh yeah, balls. Like, you know, the little thing. And she goes, oh, do you mean like the popcorn chicken knockoff?
Loved her.
And I was like, oh yeah, that's the one. That's the one. Yeah, I want
that. I want that. And she goes, what size? I went, I don't know.
Just give it to me.
They're just as beautiful as I remember.
Lovely story, but I want to eat this pie for God's sake.
Yeah, let's eat the pie.
It's still very warm. I'm impressed.
You've had a great time. Summer Hill to North Sydney is not
close. When I tell you I'm Florida.
Happy Pig Week, idiots.
Happy Pig Week.
Happy Pig Week.
I hope you're listening to this, enjoying.
Jenna, you're meant to wait until we cheers before you eat.
She's already stuffed a fucking face of chips.
Oh, Joe.
Enjoy a little treat on us.
Thanks for listening to the pod, and we will eat in honour with you.
Happy Pig Week.
I'm going to let you guys try the pie so that someone's talking.
Oh, no, I'll talk, because you've been excited.
That's true.
It's your choice. I'll wait. All right, no, I'll talk because you've been excited. This is your choice.
I'll wait.
All right, well, happy pig week, girls.
Cheers.
Cheers.
All right, they're trying their pies for the first time.
This is a big moment for me because I cherish Red Rooster and I fucking love meat pies.
So the fact that they're doing them now is just like a match made in heaven.
Eat it.
It better not disappoint me, I swear to God.
Yeah.
Mitch is taking his first bite.
Let's not cram the iHeart Studio.
What do we think?
Oh, Mitch, you don't look impressed.
That is absolutely...
Stunning.
Is it good?
Yeah, that is a chicken and gravy pie.
You're going to love it.
It's very peppery.
Is it?
I love pepper.
And the gravy is like, oh, that's Red Rooster gravy.
Is it?
Oh, my God, that's actually beautiful.
The fucking pastry, gorgeous.
By the way, Red Rooster have paid us once upon a time.
Not today.
I'm just being very sincere.
Mitchell, how big are the chicken morsels?
I'm going to have a bite of mine.
The what?
The chicken meat inside.
Is it big chunks?
Is it flakes?
It's like minced.
I've got chunks.
Oh, do you?
Yeah, I've got chunks.
It's very, very good.
I'm thoroughly impressed because I do prefer a beef pie typically.
I thought it was going to be, oh, nah, that's not quite a pie.
It doesn't have that pie taste, but it does.
And it's got the red rooster taste.
It's actually better than I could have imagined.
Okay, so I've just tried it.
It's so good.
So savoury.
That gets five chooks out of five.
Oh, wow.
The gravy is so salty and delicious.
Yeah.
Oh, yum.
That is spectacular.
Now, Chooks, since you're here, do you have an is it just me of your own you'd like to share? Oh, I do actually. Yeah. Oh, yum. That is spectacular. Now, Truxins, you're here. Do you have an Is It Just Me of your own you'd like to share?
Oh, I do, actually.
Yeah, hang on.
You performed your reporting duties spectacularly.
So well done.
Thank you.
Let me put my-
Roving Courier Oscar.
You ready?
Yep.
Bradley, let's go.
Is it just me or-
Should I report my local tobacconist?
Oh, no. What happened? I went to local tobacconist? Oh no.
What happened?
I went to go and get my gorgeous banana ice vape and I walked into the tobacconist, which
will remain nameless, and I walked in and I went, hello?
There was no one behind the counter.
And then I looked.
Is there a bell?
No, there was no bell.
Yeah.
And I hear this, hi, how are you?
And there was a fucking child behind the counter.
Oh.
And I looked at her and I went, aren't you meant to be in school?
Okay, if you had to guess, how old are we talking?
Nine.
Oh, my God.
Or like 10.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's you.
Like, if this person.
So it wasn't like someone who might have been 23 but looks 12.
No.
Like Jenna.
No, this was a definite child, like right up and like higher
than Jenna's vocal pitch in general.
Wow, that's an infant.
Wait, did they have authority though?
Because some of those nine-year-olds can have a real energy about them.
I don't know.
I just panicked and I went, hi, I'll have a banana ice.
And she goes, all right, here you go, and just gives it to me.
And I was like.
I understand the predicament you're in because there's so much wrong with that.
A, selling vapes is illegal just in general.
But surely selling vapes would also be extra illegal if they're under 18.
You can't sell tobacco or nicotine products if you're under 18.
Sorry, you can't sell anything.
You're not allowed to work at the age of nine.
Isn't it 13 is when you can have sex?
Are you taking the piss when you said she was nine?
Or did she look a bit older?
Look, I mean, look, let's be real.
I am taking the piss a little bit.
But if it was someone who was under 18, they definitely fucking looked it.
But then the predicament that you're in is that if you report them, where's your fucking source of ape?
That's the problem I have.
Because as we all know, I have an addiction.
And the first step is admitting it.
And the first step, thank you, I am taking steps.
I do Pilates.
Oh, good.
I just was sort of standing there and in the back of my head,
I was like, shouldn't you be in art class or some bullshit?
Maybe it's work experience.
Maybe it's work experience.
Maybe.
But for what experience?
Being a tobacconist.
Being a tobacconist.
Tobacconism.
Being a tobacconist.
Tobacconism.
So did you thank him and you left?
You paid?
Yeah, I kind of went into, you know the absent-minded glaze where you just kind of go on autopilot.
What do they call it?
Disassociated?
Living, yeah.
Living, yeah.
Thank you.
And I paid for me banana ice vape and I just took off.
And then I thought about it and I was like, was that a genuine child that served me?
I think it would have been, yeah.
Did she seem happy to be there?
Surprisingly, yes.
Oh, there you go.
All right, you've asked the question.
I think you don't get involved.
No, I think so. I think you stay out and you leave it. I think you you go. All right, you've asked the question. I think you don't get involved.
No, I think so. I think you stay out and you leave it.
I think you leave it.
I think so.
Because where am I going to get my banana ice?
Yeah, exactly.
Or my banana cherry blossom ice?
Apparently, they're getting harder and harder to get your hands on.
Oh, they are.
It's actually illegal to sell them.
It always has been, but most places do it.
They had ways to get around it, I'm pretty sure.
Well, you know, I don't think report them at all.
Let them be.
No, I like that.
There was a new tobacconist in my place that opened up and we went in there because you
were getting a vape.
And I was like, they're not even trying to hide it because it's illegal to sell vapes.
And so that's why people usually have them tucked away like behind the counter.
And you know how it's now a law that you have to have plain packaging and all the cigarettes
covered in like a cabinet or a curtain or something?
They were just out on display.
They had all these A4 laminates ragging about how many vapes they had.
I'm like, oh God, this isn't going to last.
They're going to get shut down.
Which I loved, personally.
Me too.
I don't even shop the vapes, but the names get me going.
It's like Grape Riz, Banana Jizz, Apple Freeze.
Why is it always an E's?
All right, well, let's get out of here because I'd like to finish my beautiful pie.
We should.
Also, I want to have my rooster roll before they go soggy.
That's right.
You've got a rooster roll as well as a pie.
I'm not going to finish the pie.
I feel like you've committed to pig wig more today than you did on Monday.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
My God.
This is delicious.
This is my first ever pig wig.
Do you love how they're just making no effort not to chew on Mike?
Whereas I'm still a little bit mindful of the misophobes.
Jenna just goes...
Like, spoke with her mouth.
Fucking chock-a-block.
They're really good shit.
I mean, when is she not, really?
Totally.
It's awful.
This is your first pig week.
Well, cheers.
Cheers.
Wait, did you bring anything?
The red rooster.
Well, that was Mitchell's.
Shit.
I brought Jess's lollies.
Kate.
Kate.
Oh, Mitchell.
Mitchell, that was your perfect chance to repatriate.
Oh, you fucked up.
Repatriate Kate.
Yeah, of course.
It's not that funny, Jenna.
79.
Repatriate Kate.
Repatriate Kate.
That was better.
There it is.
We found it.
Do you notice that Jenna comes out of her shell a bit more when Oscar's here?
Yeah.
She's like, we're about number.
She loves it.
You've got confidence.
Yeah.
Well, her and I have said once that, you know, the third and fourth wheel, we've got to stick
together.
You guys are at the back of the bus.
Mitch and I are at the front.
Well, we're at the back of the bus, you know.
Bullshit.
Not on my watch.
I'm the backseat bandit.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot about that.
I don't mind being.
I think we're more of a tripod.
Tripod?
Tripod.
Like one wheel at the front, me, and then the back wheels are Jenna and Mitch.
Where the fuck's Oscar?
The side carriage.
I'm not even there.
Oscar's there.
No, you know what Oscar is.
He's our bell.
Excuse me.
Yeah!
A little bell.
Remember you were there for the inception of that?
I was, and I treasure it to this day.
We all do.
All right, let's go.
Thanks for listening, idiots.
Leave us a five-star review if you want.
Merch is available as well, couplermitches.com.au.
There's more and more photos coming through.
I love seeing it.
Take photos of the merch that arrives.
The merch is coming in quick.
The quality's top notch.
Isn't it strange that we don't even own any yet?
We've got none.
I know.
They're going to send us some.
You guys haven't given me your order yet, though.
Yeah, we've got to send you the sizes.
Busy week.
It's pig week.
Yeah.
So great.
Yeah, yeah.
After pig week, you might have gone up a size. I was going to say. I'm so bloated I haven't even finished my pie yet though. Yeah, we've got to send you the sign. It's busy week. It's pig week. Yeah, after pig wreck,
you might have gone up a side.
I'm so bloated,
I haven't even finished my pie.
Thanks for listening, idiots.
We'll see you soon.
Love you all.
Bye.
Love you, piggy.
See ya.
Oink, oink, dog.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow
on your podcast app.
Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We pretend the show's done, but it's not.
We keep talking shit for a little bit.
I love a rooster roll. So I was just thinking
you know how we've only got a couple of
episodes to go before I head off to
Bali on holidays and then we're having
a bit of time off from the podcast because
when I get back you're on holidays.
So we've got a little bit of time where we're both on holidays.
Do you reckon because Jenna seems
to come out of her shell when Oscar's around that these
two could just do the podcast? The Jenna
and Oscar, no Mitches.
Oh, my.
Do we leave the room and let them try it,
or do we have to be in the room so we can hear it?
I think we have to witness this.
Yeah, you're right.
But headphones off.
Pretend you're not here.
Okay, pretend we're an idiot.
I listen.
Yeah, we'll just face the other way.
What's the show called?
It's still our podcast.
They're just filling in for us.
You make no money from it.
We'll make the money.
Okay.
Speak for yourself. You have had money from it. We'll make the money. Okay. You've had your mouth
full for almost an hour.
What is going on?
You've actually not spoken clearly once.
Also, this is great because I'm going to be able to finish my rooster
roll while you guys do the show.
That's actually where my head was at when I came up with the idea.
Do a demo of the show
that you would do. Start with, hello you.
Okay. Do you want to start or shall I, Jenna?
You can.
All right.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Welcome back to another episode.
How are you all going?
It's so great to be here with you.
Do you know what, Jenna?
I say the same thing.
You're looking scrumptious today.
Thank you so much.
And I'm loving that jacket thing you've got. Oh, thank you. I'm sorry. I have to same thing. You're looking scrumptious today. Thank you so much. And I'm loving that jacket thing you've got.
Oh, thank you.
I'm sorry.
I have to interject already.
I'm still swallowing pie.
You haven't given context for new listeners that you are not the Mitches.
You're talking about your fucking outfits.
No one can see them.
Who cares?
Well, we were getting there.
This is just a demo.
Yeah, this is just a demo.
No, that's why we're here.
You also said, how are you?
No one can reply back.
There's no right of reply.
You have to talk out the listeners almost like they're dogs.
That's horrible advice.
Well, I wasn't trying to go that approach.
I was trying to make them feel like they're in the room with us.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Like Dora, where should I go?
All right.
Sorry, Mitchell, let's give them another.
Yeah, carry on.
Carry on.
From the top or?
No, no, let's just carry back on.
Actually, from the top, I believe.
Okay.
And then at some point you have to say,
if it's your first time listening and all that shit.
Yeah, I was getting there.
Then you all cut me off.
Sorry, yeah.
Sorry, sorry.
Jesus, fuck.
Look what I have to put up with.
You poor fucking bitch.
I'm not fond of the attitude.
You're not feeling it.
Neither am I.
No, go on.
One more chance.
Go.
Hello, you. Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Hi, Jenna.
Hello, Oscar.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
How are you going, bub?
I think I'm going really well.
Oh, that's good.
You look great with that jacket.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, again.
Yeah, no, well, I think you've all noticed that there's two different voices here.
If you are a new listener, we are in fact not the Mitchers.
We are Jenna and Oscar.
What is the third and fourth wheel?
Yes, exactly.
And you know what they say, third and fourth are always better than the first and second.
Oh, God, you're too right, Jenna.
Yeah.
Tell the Olympics that.
Yeah, well, a couple of Mitchers, they're gone for a little bit.
So we thought we'd just take over and fill in.
Yeah, due to like demand, demand. Fan demand.
Extremely high demand.
Yes.
You know, they all want Raving Reporter, Chalkin and Prizekeeper Jenna.
I know, but who wouldn't?
Yeah, so if you have a pet name for us, let us know. I won't read it.
At least we're honest.
Well, that's it. That's it.
Well, every show we start with a, is it just me? I do one, Jenna does one.
And occasionally we might listen to yours.
I'm not usually there for that.
So, Jenna, do you want to get started?
I think you should go first.
Yeah, I'd love to.
Something you've noticed.
Something you've noticed or something you hate.
Or appreciate.
Or appreciate, thank you.
Or appreciate, good girl, Jenna.
So far my rooster roll is more entertaining.
All right.
Well, if you're going to fucking put me on the spot... No, do the eejams.
Jesus Christ.
I'm into it so far.
Are you?
Jenna, do the eejam.
Yeah.
So, Jenna, do you want to start us off?
Oh, I'd love to.
Thank you.
Yeah, hit it.
Is it just me or...
Does nobody put on zinc on their face anymore?
I'm back for this. This isn't anymore? I'm back for this.
I'm back.
That's really good.
That's such a good point.
I don't actually think I've seen any zinc on someone's face since I was in primary school at the swimming carnival.
It was such a big thing, putting it.
I feel like it's something a confident, cool kid would get away with.
I agree.
But also, I think I know the answer.
I think it's because we only had 30 SPF for so long and zinc was like 50, 60.
So now that we've got-
Even my BB cream is 50.
Totally.
Yeah.
Now that there's bigger SPF, zinc is just, the market's gone.
There was that one strip over the nose and the real intense boys would put it on their
lips.
Oh, I know.
And then they came out afterwards.
And they looked like feels.
Of course.
But also, just to add on that, does nowhere sell it anymore?
I can't find it.
I haven't seen it for years.
I have not seen it in any stores or anything.
Mitchell, can you look up actually?
Oh, my.
I actually already am.
That's fine.
Because we're on air.
How do you spell it?
Is it Z-I-N-C?
Yes.
Yeah.
Because I can't find it anywhere.
It comes up with some sort of rock.
Yeah, zinc is a mineral.
Zinc is found in cells throughout the body.
Zinc is a mineral.
I take zinc every morning.
So zinc cream?
Yeah, I'd say cream or stick, like coloured zinc.
Did anyone when they were a kid Google how to make more cum?
Sorry?
I'm going somewhere here.
I wanted to make more when I was a kid.
So then I Googled how to make more and you take zinc tablets.
So I bought zinc tablets when I was like 13. Oh, I never made the connection. I've had make more when I was a kid. So then I googled how to make more and you take zinc tablets. So I bought zinc tablets when I was like
13. Oh, I never made the connection.
I've had zinc vitamins as well. I never made the connection
it's the same shit you put on your face. Yeah, it is.
Oh. Yeah, but it also makes you
Sorry, did it work? It comes. Right.
Why did you need to know how to do that?
Because I was watching porn and my brain
was malleable and soft and I thought
Can you say teenager and not as a child?
That makes it so fucked. But it's my kid.
Now you're off.
You give me as a child jerking off.
So you're the creeps, not me.
As a teenager, I would masturbate and go, oh, I'm so sad that I'm not making as much as those porn stars.
But now I do.
And I'm really happy.
Thanks to the zinc.
Oh, okay.
Interesting.
I didn't actually make that connection.
See, a good podcast host will just let people in.
Yeah, that's good.
See, now I've taken my headphones off, so I can't hear anything.
I just played the dolphin for no good reason.
Oh, great.
Isn't it fun?
Why don't we have just a pig oink sound effect?
That seems like an oversight from me.
It really does.
Yeah.
I can do it.
That's a good one.
We've nearly finished Pig Week 2024.
I know. And we've not played any pig sounds. No one's wrong. Touch's a good one. We've nearly finished Pig Week 2024. I know.
And we've not played any pig sounds.
That's wrong.
No one's touched Jenna's fowl pretzels.
Oh, gimme.
What are they?
They were shocking.
They're great.
This is your co-host.
Well said, Jenna.
Now, often times of podcasting, you need to be vulnerable and open.
So can you maybe give us an example of how you two,
if you were hosting this show, would be open and vulnerable?
About what?
Something in your life, a tragedy, dating.
Yeah, but we don't have to be like you guys.
Yeah, we're doing our own thing.
We've got our own show.
We want the ratings to stay high.
Well, from my past experience on the Jenna Fling.
Those seven-minute episodes.
They were really good.
The Jenna side show.
Yes, until HR stood in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fair enough.
They performed exceptionally well, so I have no doubt.
I have data to suggest otherwise, but it doesn't matter.
I have no doubt that Oscar and I.
It's like curiosity.
When you drive past a car crash, you slow down to look.
I actually thought we were doing well until you just kept interrupting us.
We were getting there. I said my itch. No, I thought it was going well, which is why I jumped in. I actually thought we were doing well until you just kept interrupting us.
We were getting there.
I said my each and then you. No, I thought it was going well, which is why I jumped in.
I wanted to be part of it.
Yeah.
But I didn't want him to be a part of it.
Fuck yourself in the face.
I'll join.
I'll join.
I'll be.
Okay.
You can treat Mitch and I as your producers.
So carry on for a couple more minutes and use us like we would use you.
But we don't even use either of them.
No.
Actually, Oscar, he delivered the goods today.
Oscar was useful.
Jenna doesn't bring a laptop despite countless reminders about
that's why you're here to Google shit.
But it was actually my birthday.
Shit, happy belated birthday, Jenna.
Thank you so much.
Sorry about that.
I'll do an impression of what happens when I ask Jenna to Google something
and then say, oh, you haven't brought your laptop again.
She goes, no, it's fine.
I've got my phone.
Yeah, that's it.
And then once again, the slow motion kicks in.
So slow.
Jenna types with one digit at a time.
Her nails are so long and calcified.
It's like she's only had a phone described to her.
Correct.
And she doesn't know how to use it.
It's really embarrassing.
It's true.
And if she had the glasses on, she'd be doing it like this.
Yeah, she pulls the glasses down to her nose.
You see, Oscar's funny.
She pulls the glasses down to her nose.
You see, Oscar's funny.
Are we going to let them fill in?
Does this mean I've been promoted?
I mean, the option is there if they want to,
but I don't see it happening because they'll have to not just talk into microphones.
They have to do the rest as well. Guys, imagine coming together, organising a schedule, creating content,
sitting in the studio, editing it, putting out the socials.
You've got to do it all.
I mean, if we, I mean, okay, we were put on the spot just then.
I feel like if we planned something, we could do something great.
Yeah.
And I want to put the moccas on it.
But then how are you going to get it out there in the world?
It's the broadcast.
That's the problem.
That's one of the issues.
Like, we could plan everything up until putting it out.
That was absolutely Jenna's cue to put her hand up, but she didn't.
I could see it on the tip of her tongue that she goes, no, fuck that.
I'm not offering.
Well, I mean, I'm open to one episode a week while we're gone.
I think two might be a bit overkill.
I'm just happy to hand in the reins and see what happens.
If nothing happens, then I win the bet.
It's an open invitation.
Sorry, that rooster roll is repeating on me.
Are you going on holidays, Jenna? You're right. Sorry. It's an open invitation. Sorry, that rooster roll is repeating on me. Are you going on holiday dinner?
You're right.
Sorry.
No, I'm not.
But I'm still very busy.
You looked around the room like you were included.
Do you want your chips, Cherry?
Are they mine?
They were yours.
Oh, all right.
I'll have one.
I'll have one.
Oh.
Tough.
All right.
Well, we better get out of here, idiots.
Thanks for listening.
Oh, stop.
No.
Thank you so much to Pauline who sent this gift.
She is a super star.
And she is gorgeous.
And this is such a nice, kind, thoughtful gift.
Pauline and Mackerel.
This is the part where we fight over which bits we keep.
I shoddy the nail oil.
I don't even know what's in there.
I don't know what's in there either.
Can we open it?
We already opened it, mate.
We've been through this.
You weren't in here.
Oh.
What are you waiting for, Oscar?
I want a Nido. Yeah, I want that too. I want a Nido. Okay, we can sort this out later. All it, mate. You weren't in here. Oh. What do you want from me? I want a neato.
Yeah, I want that too.
I want a neato.
Okay, we can sort this out later.
All right.
Okay.
There's a lot of artisanal soaps and they look like candy.
They look lovely.
Anyway, like I said, I'll put the shout outs in the group, okay, if you want to give them
a stalk.
Support small business.
Oh, there's a shirt in there.
Oh, Mitchell, why are you doing this now?
I'm trying to rap.
Oh, look at that pride.
She works at Aussie Broadband.
Can anyone else hear me?
Can the idiots hear me right now?
Guys, do you talk?
We just were silent for five seconds.
It's terrible podcasting.
Let's go.
Anyway, thanks for listening, guys.
If you like us, leave us a review and a rating on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
And look, Jenna and I will be back for the takeover.
We haven't got a name yet.
Mitch and I aren't gone next week.
We're still here.
We're here.
We have a couple more.
And we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Just 2%.
So we do.
Don't forget.
That was really out of sync.
I want the three of you.
I know.
I was waiting for you to.
Okay.
Mitch does this thing where he fucking slithers like a snake.
He goes, so we do.
Okay.
Go again.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better this pig week.
That's all, just 2%.
So we do.
Stunning.
See all that theatre rehearsal from you.
Theatre and concise.
Correct.
I'll be in N Juliet tomorrow night.
Book tickets, N Juliet, wherever you get your tickets.
N Juliet.
Ticket tech.
I think so.
It's M percent Juliet.
Yeah.
If you just Google that.
Correct.
Took us to me. And thanks for listening. Thanks for listening, Juliet. Yeah. If you just Google that. Correct. Tookers to me.
And thanks for listening.
Thanks for listening, idiots.
We'll catch you next week.
Happy Pig Week.
Enjoy.
Happy Pig Week.
Bye, bub.
