This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. You know I saw Ada Nicodemo in Westfield the other day? When? It was Thursday.

No, when did I ask? Oh, fuck off! Now here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you! Hello you, what the fuck was that? Now, here's Mitch Churley and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. What the fuck was that? I'm in character as Thelo. Welcome to Verona.

Thelo, a non-speaking role, but he's in character. Well, no, a character prepares, and a character did prepare. So we're recording today fresh off the back of Churley's big theatre debut. Yep, and Juliet, as I have my opening night and my closing night. And you're even in your costume, which is just gorgeous. I'm in my costume, which I have to say has been crafted so beautifully by the costume department at And Juliette. It is actual velvet.

They imported it from the New York production. It does look comfy. They've custom made it to me. It's got frills on the shoulders. It's got a frill on the neck and Elizabethan collar. Like, it's gorgeous. Is it a bit hot in that, though? It's horrific.

I was going to say, I wonder how long this lasts. Let's place bets, Prizekeeper Jenna. Yes. How long until he takes it off? I give it 20 minutes. It's staying on the whole episode. Is it not gorgeous? It is gorgeous.

It is lovely. I want to live in this. There's something so freeing about a velour tracksuit. I feel like Elton John, but just younger and a little bit less gay. So as our idiots would know by now, the whole idea was that they came to the radio station and said, we've got a spot for a celebrity cameo. And the whole idea is that it drums up sales, people who are hearing you talk about it on the radio and the podcast might want to come.

And it bloody worked. Smart tactic. Our idiots were there. Oh, my God. When I came out, the crowd, obviously, the majority didn't know that I was anyone special. But the idiots and the Kiss listeners knew. And it was a very special moment.

Very, very sweet. And I wanted to see Ann Juliet anyway. So it was the perfect excuse. And I loved it. It was a gorgeous show. Such a good musical. A little idgim excursion to the theatre. It was so much fun.

I love seeing you guys. Did you enjoy the show? Did you like it? Phenomenal show. I absolutely adored it. Oh, because you'd seen it, Jenna. Yes, yes. But it was your first time.

First ever time seeing Angelia. What are your thoughts without me involved? Like, what did you think about the show? Loved it. And normally, I'm not the biggest fan of like a jukebox musical where they sing pop songs, but it was fun. Yeah. Like, you know, Moulin Rouge, I was a bit like, I felt the same about Moulin Rouge. That's exactly how I felt. But this time, I was like, oh, they did it was fun. Yeah. Like, you know, Moulin Rouge, I was a bit like, eh. I felt the same about Moulin Rouge.

That's exactly how I felt. But this time I was like, oh, they did it so well. Like, there were some Ariana Grande pop songs that I never thought were capable of giving me goosebumps. Yeah, I agree. Like, they made it so theatrical and gorgeous. Casey Donovan. She could sing anything and it'd give me goosebumps. Yeah, she was incredible.

And she's a great actor as well. I had the best time. I had a lot of fun. Yes, my role was small. I'm waiting for the jokes. No, no, we're not going to make jokes. Jenna and I were kind of recording our reactions as we went on. I'll get to that a bit later in this episode.

You've got audio of it. Yeah, we had a mic with us and we were recording before the show. Our thoughts hit into mission. We bumped into other idiots that were there. Asked their opinion. Even your parents gave us a review. I can't wait to hear. I'm actually a little nervous.

And so I don't want to make an executive decision, but I'm thinking we normally do an Is It Just You caller on a Monday. Let's bump that to Wednesday. I want to talk all things Ann Juliet today. It's only right. Well, it's fresh in mind. It's still exciting. No, I've actually forgotten it.

All my choreography has gone out of my brain. I actually forgot it 10 minutes before I went on. It was a moment, wasn't it? Yeah, i'm not a dancer can i ask a question there was um a female like cast member right next to you and i saw her tap you on the shoulder a couple of times was she there as your parent she was there helping you dance like now do it now she was my minder she wasn't saying do it now. I thought so. It was funny because, you know, the theatre is legit. You've got to respect the magic of the theatre. So we were in character the whole time. So when she would want to get me to come over,

my character's name was Fellow. Yeah, I could see her summoning you but in character. Yeah, she'd be like, come over here, Fellow. Why don't we go check out the lavatory? That's commitment even though she wasn't mic'd up. No, she wasn't. But here's the thing. I was mic'd up. That's commitment, even though she wasn't mic'd up. No, she wasn't. But here's the thing. I was mic'd up the whole time because they're running the audio on my radio show.

So they have the audio of me during the choreography and me in my improvised scenes. Oh, fuck. I wish you airdropped me. That's going to be so funny. Just hearing you talk, like what you were saying in character that no one else heard. Well, the only MO they gave me was get a character. So I created Fellow, but everyone goes, oh, Fellow, because he's gay. Oh, nice.

Did you get it? Oh, Fellow. Fellow. Clever. Thank you. And it was Elizabethan time, so they just said, be a person of that era. You're in the cast of William Shakespeare's play.

You're in rehearsals, because that's what that opening is. It's the opening night of a Shakespeare play. So I was just an actor. It was very clever. Very, very well done. So I was just an actor. It was very clever. Very, very well done. So I was in the audience interacting with audience members. There was an idiot that was behind that was like, Mitch, I'm an idiot.

And I was like, oh, I'm fellow, I'm not Mitch. Yeah, you have the same character for that. Yeah, I have the same character. And then some guy was in the front row. He had Alan's snakes and he was eating them. And I was like, what are those treats? And then the minder was like, no treats on stage. I'm like, oh, please.

Imagine if you just started eating someone else's fucking Maltesers on stage. And you're like, no, it's part of my character. I know. I know. But it was ridiculous. So I had that moment. There was a moment that was cut, actually, from the middle. But I don't want to talk about that.

Oh, well, we actually have questions about that. You'll hear that in mine and Jen's audio. Okay. We were roving reporting the whole time. Were you? Chookin was there. Oscar was there. Roving reporter Oscar was there. We had a lot of idiots. In fact, there were show notes that are written up at the end of the show.

In the show notes, they have to document everything. Like, applause was loud, standing ovation, seven minutes. They map out everything. For every show? Every show, yeah. Show notes. They have a lot. They said um a loud applause when mitch turian did the stage it was all the idiots and no one else knew who i was so it was all the idiots i was a bit spewing actually because they've got like um a tv screen with a slideshow of all the

cast in the theater yeah in the foyer yeah and in situations where there's an understudy on stage, they can easily change the slideshow to be like, at this performance, the role of Juliet, whatever, will be played by X, Y, Z. Yeah. So I know for a fact that they have the power to alter the slideshow at a moment's notice, and yet you weren't in the slideshow. I thought that had a Mitch Cheery slide.

I would have liked that. To be fair, they put so much effort backstage in my dressing room. They had more on their mind than the fucking slide show. Totally. They wanted to make me feel at home, I think, rather than the actual audience members. But you've got to remember that Angeliette, it's not an off-Broadway production.

This has been in Broadway. It's been in the West End. So they actually have a lot of rules and a big body, a big production company to adhere to and rules to follow. So putting me in here had like a thousand people, a thousand layers of approval. It was very intense. Oh, I can imagine.

But also if there were people there that just happened to buy tickets on that night, they would have been none the wiser. You blended in seamlessly. Oh, did I? No, you absolutely did. That's all I wanted. I just wanted to blend in and I didn't want to look like, you know, an idiot, a bumbling fool.

Well, the people sitting next to us, right, they saw us cheering for you and were kind of confused. Yeah, they were actually. They were looking like, what? What am I missing? It's the Mitch Cheery, bitch. What do you mean? Thank you.

So, no, you weren't in the slideshow. You also weren't in the program. I always get a program every theatre show I go to. I've got a collection. I've bought the Ann Juliet one with me and I've just printed off your photo, popped it in the program. Could you sign it for me? I thought you'd never ask.

There you go. Of course. I was waiting. Thank you so much. Because I need that. When I'm looking back on all my programs on my deathbed or something, I'll go, oh, that's right. That friend that I never speak to anymore.

He died years ago actually. That's why. He was in that show. And your name? Oh, for fuck's sake. Yes. That friend that I never speak to anymore. He died years ago, actually. That's why. He was in that show. And your name? Oh, for fuck's sake. Your pronouns? Oh, God, he's really making this count. Oh, here we go.

Thanks for the support. Oh, here we go. You can just sign it. No. I'll sign the front too. That's what they do. Don't graffiti the front. I gave you your own passport.

Oh, my God. That's what they do. Now I can't front. I gave you your own part. Oh, my. That's what they do. Now I can't sell it. It's worth something in you. There you go. Well done. You're an idiot for putting that in there. I waited at the stage door and went, people will be there.

Yeah, we were. I was like, well, you were. Yeah. I mean, I was happy to see you, but I thought there'd be a paparazzi or something. Okay. Theater paparazzi. Yeah, it was very. It was a dodarazzi. It was just a dodgy road. It was.

It was really scary. It was pouring with rain. It was very unsuspecting for a stage door. It was, wasn't it? We were back there hanging out with you, and then Casey walks out like it's nothing, just wanders to the light rail. I know. What?

She did. You're Casey fucking Duncan. I know. I know. Trilling her whole way. I was in my dressing room, and then you hear like, muffled by a door. It's Casey Donovan trilling. What does that actually do?

I don't know. I think it warms up your voice. Should we be in before every podcast? Probably. Everyone was trilling. Actually, would you like to quickly warm up for the show in the way that the cast of Angeliette warmed up? Imagine if we made this a thing. If it's your first time listening, we start every episode with a trill.

With a trill. Yeah. No, follow my lead. This is how the cast of Angeliette warm up for the show. Okay. Ready? All right. So you get your hands like this.

Sprinkle them like magic. Spirit fingers. So we're waving basically. Waving with both hands out in front of our face. We make eye contact with each other. Oh, cool. Because we've got to be present and we connect to the cast because we're all players. Hands in the air.

Hands up. Up in the air. That's hurting my bunk shoulder, mate. Hands down. Hands down. Hands down. And we connect to the cast because we're all players. Hands in the air. Hands up. Up in the air. That's hurting my bong shoulder, mate. Hands down. Hands down. Hands down. And we touch the floor. Ground, ground, ground.

Pull it into our body and out into each other. Yeah. Sorry, what the fuck was that? Then get your hands. Light the fire. Feel the heat in your hands. Right, so we're rubbing them together. Rubbing them together.

Heat in the hands. And then we push it out into each other. Here you are. It's got my warmth. Yeah, here's my warmth. We're all connected. and then we push it out into each other. Here you go. Here you go. He's got my warmth. Yeah, he's my warmth. We're all connected.

Don't you feel more connected? I guess. Yeah. Worked. That's quite nice.

That's an old Patti Lapone trick. Who? An actress. Theatre actress. Oh,

I'm seeing her. What? Yeah, like next week. Oh, wait,

maybe it's this weekend. Is she in Australia? Yeah, she will be. Get out. Yeah.

I knew, of course, because I'm in the theatre. Yeah, because, yeah. The offers

haven't come in yet. Were they happy with you, though? They were very happy, yeah. They genuinely were very happy. They were comparing it to the ones in the other markets. Oh. Have they gotten any other celeb guests in Australia or no? No, no.

I think they were talking about the one in London. Who was the one in London? A radio presenter, no. No one knows radio presenters. No, they don't. No, they really don't. But yeah, I had the best time and they were very happy. Casey Donovan was like very happy.

She was very warm. All things considered. Oh, so you're on good terms? Yeah, of course. Yeah, gotcha. Do you reckon she remembers? No, no, no. It was so long ago.

Casey was great. Rob Mills was like beyond nice. Like he was just hanging backstage with me. I wouldn't expect anything different from him. The whole show. Actually, I got so hungry. I had a diva moment. I'm like, I feel really lightheaded.

I was on stage for 30 seconds, guys. So they ran to Coles and got me a ham and egg sandwich. I had a diva moment. They treated you like they would any other cast member. They did. I had the best time, but I can't wait to hear your reviews. I want the reviews and I want the reviews of the idiots because that's what means the most to me. Yeah, yeah.

I'll play that out later for you. But we should get into our idjams first. Yeah, I think we should. Yeah. If it is your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every episode is the same. We start with an idjam, something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. I don't know Mitch's.

He doesn't know mine. And today, mine is a continuation on a worry that you've been having, Mitchell. A worry of mine? Yeah. Are you worried on my behalf? No, you're worried. Now I'm worried that you're worried. No, no, I'm not worried.

I have given it some thought, though. Well, that's a first. And I almost made a purchase for you, and I thought? No, you're worried. Now I'm worried that you're worried. No, no, I'm not worried. I have given it some thought, though. Well, that's a first. And I almost made a purchase for you and I thought, no. Oh, okay. I'm the kiddie-o. Don't get too excited. Would have been on the business. Well, my idjim kind of relates to the fact that you're wearing your costume today.

In a way. No. In a way. You'll understand what I mean. Okay. Do you want to go first? Sure. Okay, let's go. Bradley, count me in, please, mate'll understand what I mean. Okay. Do you want to go first? Sure. Okay, let's go.

Bradley, count me in, please, mate. Is it just me or? Is it socially acceptable to keep shit that people leave behind sometimes? Oh. Oh. Yeah. I mean, I love a stealing. Are you meant to return that costume?

They want it back. They're getting it back for archive purposes, apparently. So how do they archive it? Are you actually going to give it back? No, absolutely not. They will not be seeing this ever again. Well, it's custom made for me. It's got my name on it.

To be honest, I even went as far. These are my show socks. Your show socks? Wait, they got them for you? Yeah, if I take my shoe off, it says Mitch on one foot and Churi on the other. Show socks. They gave me a show shirt, show undies, everything fresh. See, I feel like some things it's okay to keep.

It's okay to hang on to it. Some things obviously aren't. Like if someone leaves behind their fucking keys at your house, you can't just hold on to those. That's not fine as keepers. That's not nice. There's other things like sunnies. You can't keep those.

Even umbrellas. I reckon you should give an umbrella back. Oh, umbrellas are so personal because not everyone has one. So if you've got one, you're an umbrella person. Well, you know, I've been lucky with umbrellas. So whenever I'm out and it's raining and I forgot my umbrella, I always find one. Oh, so do I. You steal someone else's.

Yeah, but they've left it on the train or something. So I can't give it back to them. That's true. Oh, I feel bad. Because what if they're coming back for it? They're not. You know what I did? I actually think it's kind of like an upgrade-a-thon.

When I was in Amsterdam solo traveling, it was pouring with rain all through Amsterdam, and I bought one of those I Love Amsterdam umbrellas for like 20 euro on some sidecar because I had to. I was getting drenched. So I'd go into a store to shop or to browse, and there's a pot of umbrellas. So I'd put my I Love Amsterdam in there and then leave it, go shop, and when I'd come out, someone had taken it. Like it was kind of just, people were taking. So I would then just take one with a gorgeous wood handle. I'm like, well, it's a donation system here. It's like

Vinny's. And then I went to the next one and that was gone. So I took a rainbow pride one. I would never take someone else's umbrella. I feel so bad. So yeah, I feel like there's some things that you can keep if they leave it behind, though. Like there's some things that, frankly, if I left it behind, it's just embarrassing to ask for it back. Has someone stolen from you or have you stolen from someone? Well, I don't even know if I could call it theft, but there's been a few things that I've lost recently

and I feel stupid asking for them back. Like I left my favourite Woolies bag at my friend Nick's house and I'm like, I can't ask for that. Yeah, you can't ask for that. It's $2. You'll be fine. It's one of the dear ones, though. You know the big Woolies bag at my friend Nick's house. And I'm like, I can't ask for that. Yeah, you can't ask for that. It's $2. You'll be fine. It's one of the dear ones, though. You know, the big Woolies bags with the Indigenous artwork.

Oh, they're gorgeous. Is it a cooler? Yeah, it's one of those ones. It's like the thick one. The thicker one. They're really good. Insulated. And I keep going to Fetches when I'm doing my shopping.

And then I'm like, oh, fuck, I left it at Nick's. But I can't ask for it back. That's embarrassing. That's his now. That's his bag. It is. Yeah, it's like sisterhood of a travelling bag. If the value's under like $10, like you lose it, you leave it.

I guess so. But then there's something else that I accidentally misplaced recently. Oh, what is it? Your sanity. I don't know. I was cooking the other night and I reached into my cutlery drawer and I'm like, where's my favourite knife? Where's my good knife?

And then I realised it's still in the honey cake. I gave? And then I realised. Oh, I know. It's still in the honey cake I gave Jennifer her birthday. Oh. Oh, my God. But I'm like, nah, it's hers now, I think. I know. It's blue and it says chop on it. Yes. Because I know.

It's in the kitchen at Kiss FM. I didn't take it. I did. Oh. I took it. Well, again, I can't ask for it back because it's actually just ended up back in its rightful home because I stole it from kids. I thought everybody had that fucking knife. I knew you'd stolen it.

A few years ago when they gave me a birthday cake, I just accidentally took it home and I loved it. It's my favourite knife. It's the bluntest fucking knife in the world. Nah, I've sharpened the shit out of it. It's my favourite. Have you? But yeah, I was very bummed that my favourite knife is gone. I've got a knife rack, but they're like the good ones.

There's something thrilling about the fact that this one was free and I accidentally acquired it. It feels like a bargain. So it became my favourite because I'm like, oh, I don't have to ruin my good knife. I've got this fucking one I stole from kids. And now it's gone. Do you want me to get it back for you?

You can't walk around with a knife. Yeah, true. How am I going to conceal that thing? You can't walk around with a knife. Yeah, true. How am I going to conceal that thing? I actually do walk around with a knife. It's in my backpack there because sometimes when we're unscrewing the microphones on the mic stand, they get jammed and you're just like. Oh, it's a butter knife. Yeah, it's a butter knife.

It's got a butter knife. Please. You're not a good look when I use that for a carry-on bag on my flights. Comedian and social influencer Mitchell Coombs arrested at Darwin Airport. I was making scones. Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches.

If you don't, you're a dickhead. Well, coming up in episode 216, which is out on Wednesday. It's actually mine and Cheery's last episode for a little bit. We're off on our mid-year break. Mummy and Daddy need a little break. And we're not holidaying together. Yeah, I keep phrasing it like, oh, Chiri and I are both going on holidays. I know.

And then I have to qualify. Not together. Not that there'd be anything weird about that. I actually think we'd have fun on holiday. We are friends first. We just started a podcast. And then because we see each other for this, then we don't see each other for actual friendship things. Yeah, we used to more, but you know what happens when Cheery chacks up

with a bloke, Jenna? Totally. You know what it's like. It's ridiculous. Hyper-focus is on the man. Well, it's not true. You've seen me on stage this week. I'm seeing you on stage this week.

Oh, that's right. Yeah, so we'll both see each other on stage. Oh, yeah, you're coming to my Sydney show. Yeah, Saturday night. Oh, fun, okay. Anyway, coming up on fucking Wednesday, I think we need to really figure out what the plan is while we're gone. I agree.

Because we were joking last week about, oh, should Jenna and Oscar fill in? And now there's full-on petitions happening. So we need to figure out a game plan. The comments, it's actually a little shocking. We don't even get that much support when we post shit that we want to do. What can I say? We're popular. I fucking died laughing at one of the comments in the group. A little shocking. We don't even get that much support when we post shit that we want to do. What can I say? We're popular.

I fucking died laughing at one of the comments in the group. There was a comment from Justin that said, it's not going to be about cats and shit, is it? See, that's what we need. We need to put boundaries in place before we go. We need rules. Because this podcast, this is a business, okay? We can't let you ruining what we've built for years. Well, last night in the Uber going home, Oscar came with me because we're close.

And we actually practiced a little podcast together. Can I have your phone and check the Uber rating? Because I guarantee you it's a one. Wouldn't shut up about cats and shit. No, the driver was very nice. Sure, I'm sure. Yes. It's good you've practiced.

At least you care. I don't know if I want to do it. Sure, I'm sure. Yes. Well, it's good you've practiced. At least you care. I don't know if I want to do it. This is what I mean. Everyone keeps saying to Mitch and I, please, please let them do it. And I'm like, it's actually, we said go for gold, but I reckon Jenna's a bit on the fence. So we've got to sort this out on Wednesday. This is like the Doctor Who franchise.

You pass it on and you are thrilled to take it. Okay, that's how it works. Which is just like, nah. You're Nukedegagwa. I'm tired. and you are thrilled to take it. Okay? That's how it works. She's just like, nah. You're nukedigagua. I'm tired. Oh, my. So are we. Yeah, maybe she needs a break too.

That's what we need to discuss. I think Oscar would actually love a microphone to himself for an hour. That's the problem. That's true. All right. So we have a big business meeting to talk about. Yes. And also an Is It Just Me caller on Wednesday because we're talking all things Juliet in

a bit. But have you got an Is It Just Me for us first? I do. Yeah, let's go. Is it just me or? Are you also ready for Mitchell Coombs' baggy pants era? Oh, fuck off. Oh, yes.

I am. I brought you some baggy pants. I knew you were going to try and take charge of my fashion. No, I was going to bring you a homage cheery outfit, but I'm a XXL, you're an X small, so I couldn't. Actually, I just remembered I've got something for you. Sorry to interrupt. Oh, my God.

See this gorgeous jumper I'm wearing? Yeah, Darlan. It says Darlan. It's from Gammon Threads, you know, that Indigenous-owned brand. Gorgeous, yeah. They've got a section on their website that says mob only, and then there's a section that's ally-friendly. So the Darlan jumper was in ally friendly.

Okay. I ordered one in a medium, but then it turned up in a women's cut, so it was way too small. Okay. And I said to them, can I exchange it? And they were really good about it. I said, I'll get an XL in a women's cut. And then the replacement arrives, but there's two.

And there's a note that says, hi, Mitchell, we found an XL in a men's cut as well, so we gave you both. So this is the women's cut, and I brought the other Darlan jumper if you want a match. Oh, yeah, thank you. To me, yeah. I can't replace my Angel yet.

Frills? Oh, make up your mind. It's fine. You don't have to wear it now. I'll show you. You get the clothes you've got for me. Good idea. I'll get the clothes that I've got for you.

Jenna, you hold the fort. It's good practice. I'll sit here. Hi, guys. It's me, Jenna I'll sit here. Hi, guys. It's me, Jenna, and I'm talking on this podcast. Let me know if you want Oscar and I to do one. We did practice in the Uber, like I just said. You've already said that.

You can't repeat yourself. Stop telling me what to do. This is my show. New information. Keep it flowing. Do you reckon this jumper will fit you? Show me. Oh, God, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's incredible. Thank you. We're going to be matching, darling. Oh, my God. Gammon Threads. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Do you's incredible. Thank you. We're going to be matching, darling. Oh, my God. Gammon Threads. Yeah. Oh, thank you.

Do you want me to transfer you? Huh? Do you want me to transfer you? You can transfer me. Gammon Threads. I mean, I paid for one. Yeah. But then they sent a replacement, two replacements.

So I got one free. Oh, it's such good quality. It's going to keep you warm. Yeah, I love it. All right. I, inspired by you asking about baggy pants, you didn't want to let go of your skinny jeans last week. I was quite clear that I'm not prepared to let go of skinny jeans yet.

Well, the idiots were also like, no, I can't let go of skinny jeans either. So what I've done is I've brought you a pair of my baggy pants. I've also brought you a belt. Don't worry. I understand I'm a 38 waist. You're not. But I want you to put them on. You can go out there.

Jenna and I can hold for it. I'll be fine. There's a pro in the room. And I just want you to try these on. They've been washed. It's okay. But they're baggy, Mitchell. Try them it. I'll be fine. There's a pro in the room. And I just want you to try these on. They've been washed. It's okay. But they're baggy, Mitchell. Try them on.

I'll try them on. I wanted to. I'm not looking. I just looked. Oh, no. Oh, my goodness. It's incredible. I'm speechless.

Water off a duck's clean, huh? Yeah. Now, oh, wow. I'm so excited to see this. Now, Mitchell, high waist them. Mitchell's getting changed. But put them up around your belly button. These are too big.

I really want to look. I had a little glimmer in the reflection. I'm really excited. Oh, Mitchell, stop. You know what I look like? That fucking guy that used to do the Subway ads that's like, look how much weight I've lost and they hold out the old pants. He's in jail now.

Wow. I can't get them they hold out the old pants. He's in jail now. Wow. I can't get them on. Looks like clown pants. Oh, my God. He's putting the belt on. I have to wrap it. Yeah, he's got to wrap it. It's like it's a kimono.

So if anyone wants to Google, they're the Jada London Colossus jeans. They're meant to be baggy and oversized. That's the style. Oh, they're very. Mitchell, you could stand in one leg. You could put your whole body in one thigh of mine. Does Mitch fit in one leg of my jeans?

And for the record, they're baggy on me. Yes, I know. I've seen you wearing them. They are very baggy. Yeah, it's like oversized chic. Did you do it? Oh my god! It's like a long skirt. Mitch's two legs are in one leg. That's actually kind of cute. That's like a long skirt. It's just two legs are in. It's like a pencil skirt. They're in one leg.

Oh, my God. That's actually kind of cute. That's really nice, actually. It's like I'm doing a sack race. I like that. I can even cross my legs inside one leg. This is so big. Okay, stand in the middle for a sec.

I want to look. Yeah. Mitchell, it works. It actually does. The waist is not right, but they're working on the leg. Yeah. No, actually, it makes you look taller as well. It does.

It elongates your leg. Oh, my God. Look at the flare on your shoes. Yeah, I'd have to get these hemmed because I'm walking all over them as well. You're so tall. I know I am, yeah. Mitchell, just the tip of your shoe showing is so fashionable. I'm going to take a photo and post it.

Since when is that a thing? Who says? Mitchell, trust me. I'm on Fashion Talk. That is so chic. You want just the toe of your shoe to show. But then aren't I going to trip over and shit? It's a thing. Mitchell, trust me. I'm on Fashion Talk. That is so chic. You want just the toe of your shoe to show. But then aren't I going to trip over and shit? It's so chic.

I just feel like I don't have a lot going for me, Mitchell. I don't have the world's best hairline. I don't have the world's best skin. I don't have the world's best beard. But one thing I've got going for me is a set of fucking pins. Why would I bury them deep in this circus tent? That is true. I want them out.

That's true. I want the world to see them. They are very good legs. You know what the beauty of this was, though? I didn't have to take off my shoes to get changed. Have you ever tried taking skinny jeans on or off with shoes on? Impossible. Sometimes it feels –

You've sat there for years. It takes the sock off with it too sometimes. Oh, always. How do you feel in them? Do they feel bad? They feel uncomfortable, right? I mean, they're obviously not the best fit, but yeah, they're comfy. Yeah.

They're good. The color's nice. You know what? You just need to have a pair to have in your wardrobe. Get them on ASOS for 60 bucks. I do have a pair that I have in my wardrobe, but I just, I don't know if they work for me. I think that's really cool.

I quite like it, actually. And you put on my glasses. Oh, for fuck's sake. Just do a full cheery look. I'm just trying to style you. These glasses are grubby as fuck, mate. How do you see a thing? Sorry, I had a sausage and egg McMuffin on the way in.

Do you want to try on my denim jacket and then you can be a full cheery look? Okay. Do it. Yeah, get it. Yeah, yeah, do it. Make sure you post a photo of this on our Instagram at couple of Mitch's so that they can see it because this is not great podcasting. And here you are trying to criticize Jenna as if you're an expert.

Yeah, exactly. You said you're the only pro. This is simple. This is Zara cropped. Cropped, which is what you want because with a baggy pair. Yeah, you're right. I've got a few cropped jackets because it shows my ass. One of the other things I've got going for me.

It does. You can stay seated to put that on if you want. Keep darling on. You'll get hot though. I do actually like that jacket as well. I just think it's like really cute on you. It's a different vibe for you. I feel like that scene out of Friends where Joey's wearing a hundred of Chandler suits.

Yes. I feel like I'm being really burdened with a lot of clothing right now. Yeah, that's how I feel all the time. There's baggy and then there's just too much material for one person. Then there's sensory overload. Baggy on baggy. This is not cute. I love it.

I'm sorry. Well, you know what? Fair's fair. You popped my shorts on that I was wearing just now and took off. They're not going to come across. And your darling jumper and you're good to go. Congratulations, you Mitchell coombs. Absolutely not.

No. I won't be putting that on. Yeah, you're right. You've got too much hair on your hairline. I do, yeah. Mitchell, what's with your hairline? Your hairline's fine. Oh, people want me all the time for it.

Can I just say, it hasn't changed. You've had that hairline forever. I know. It's not like it's gotten worse. I don't know why all of a sudden people are pointing it out. Your hairline has been the time for it. Can I just say, it hasn't changed. You've had that hairline forever. I know. It's not like it's gotten worse. I don't know why all of a sudden people are pointing it out. Your hairline has been the same for a long time. I know. It hasn't changed.

If anything, it's grown back a little bit. Has it? Look at all the wispy bits. Yeah, it is. Baby hairs. I lost a lot of hair due to stress. Oh, yes. Oh, my God.

Actually, did you lose it due to weight loss? I lost a lot due to weight loss. No? Really? Yes, so much, yeah. Is it just me on the fly? Jenna, I think you'll only be able to back me up here. Yes.

If you're washing your hair, do you get a lot of hair coming out? Yes. And do you often find some of it just lurking in your ass crack? Oh, yes, yes. I actually just before when I went to the bathroom, there was some and I saw it on the toilet seat. You pulled it out? Yeah. Wow. If I'm washing my hair, there was some and I saw it on the toilet seat. You pulled it out? Yeah.

Wow. If I'm washing my hair, it'll just sort of run down my back and get trapped in the crack of my arm. You're kidding. And then like the last thing I do, I've had to add it to my routine. Shampoo, mask, condition, pull all the hair out of my ass. Like you're flossing a tooth. Yeah.

I've never had this experience in my life. Well, you really notice it when your hair is as long as mine and Jen's is. Yeah. What? No, it happens every washing. It hair is as long as mine and Jen's is. Yeah. What? No, it happens every washing. Yeah, just like this big cluster of long hair in your ass crack. I've never experienced that in my life. I want to post a TikTok of this, but I'm dressed like this.

No, this is a great example. This is a great way to see if people really like this look. If they comment, what's up with her, then we know it's not working for you. But if you get comments like zaddy, then you're doing it right. I get zaddy. People comment zaddy. I might just glass as a man. Yeah, and I get, look at the fucking five head on him.

Oh, God. I think you look great. And Jenna, photos of the toilet hair seat, please. I love this look for you, Mitchell. I really do. You haven't popped my shorts on yet. I'm not doing it. Okay.

They won't fit me. What size waist are you? 29? I'm not sure, actually, Mitchell. I really do. You haven't popped my shorts on yet. I'm not doing it. Okay. They won't fit me. What size waist are you? 29? I'm not sure, actually. You'd have to check. They're very little. They're tiny. Oh, they're ASOS.

30. Oh, yeah, 30. There you go. Oh, take the shoes off. Oh, God. He's tripping over trying to put them on. Oh. Oh.

Oh. They do fit. Yeah. Almost. If you didn't have them underneath. Yeah. If I wasn't head to toe in thick velvet. It wouldn't be comfy and you probably couldn't have children after.

But they would make it up the waist. Yeah. I'll keep them on. Just so it's even. It looks like a dare. We're all just wearing each other's clothes. I love it. It's very like Trisha Paytas.

This is very frenemies coded. What do we give Jenna? Oh, I've got your headphones. Oh, Jenna's got the headphones that Stephen hand-encrusted. Yeah. True. Oh, no. And she's also wearing my cock ring, so it's very easy.

You're listening to Is It Just Me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Okie doke. Are you ready to hear what your loved ones che Cherry, thought of your performance in Ann Juliet? Brief as it may have been. It was brief, but that's all it was. I didn't oversell it, did I? I mean, I did say it.

Yeah. Did I oversell it? No, I was very honest. I said I don't. We were trying to get a speaking role. I was trying to get one. It's the deleted scene that we'd like to hear about. Yes.

But we'll get to that. All right, sure. Me being me, of course, I packed my handy little portable mic. Yeah. Wanted to get some stuff for the podcast because I knew that we weren't going to get a lot of FaceTime with you. You're going to be backstage. Yeah. Also, I figured you might have been in a bit of a tizz because I didn't get any replies from you all day.

And I was like, oh, he's getting in the zone. I was a bit stressed, yeah. I get a bit like that before comedy shows sometimes. Yeah, I just needed to focus and zone in. I also had to record a radio show for that night, that day. Oh, wow. So to focus and zone in. I also had to record a radio show for that night that day. Oh, wow. So it was a big day. But I will say I wasn't upset, but I think I made a snarky comment to Sean

because I invited all my friends and family backstage. It was like 20 to come backstage. Jenna came backstage. Sean, your boyfriend, came backstage. Stephen was there, my family. And then Mitchell wasn't there. I went, where's Mitchell? And they went, he's talking with fans.

And I thought, wow, he's taking selfies with fans overseeing me on my debut and closing night. But it turns out you were working. Yeah, I was going to say, their names were Nikita and Gemma and you're about to hear from them. Oh, yay, it was working. So yeah, we recorded with them and then I chatted with them for a bit after because they were a hoot, those girls. Yeah, great. It would have been helpful if Gemma, who I was speaking to, had been up the top level of the theatre because she was a nurse.

Yeah. And there was a fucking incident during the performance. Yeah, there was. Did you hear much of that backstage? No. Well, I had a dressing room and I was next to Casey and Rob Mills and Amy, who plays Amy LaPalma, who plays Anne Hathaway. Yeah.

I like her. And she's amazing. She's really good. And the PR team from the production company were there, and they all left. And I'm like, that's weird because they were there to kind of mind me. And they came back about 20 minutes later, and they said there was a medical emergency.

Yeah, so it was during quite a pivotal moment of the show. No spoilers. And up the back we just hear some screaming. And at first I thought it was like breaking the fourth wall. You know how sometimes musicals have people up the back that have cast members from the chorus walking around the aisles and shit. I thought that's what it was. But then I was like, no, that scream does not match the scene

because we just hear, oh, is anyone a nurse? We need a nurse! Everyone's head darted around. Even a couple of the extras on stage couldn't help but be like, what the fuck's going on? But the show must go on, as they say, because the actual actors who were in that big scene at the time, they just soldiered right on, didn't they?

They did so well. Can't come between them and a Katy Perry hit, I suppose. No, no, they're all the pros. Yeah, exactly. And so we were all like, what the fuck was that? They fainted, by the way, we found out. Yeah, they're okay. Because of your appearance.

No, he was nowhere to be seen at that point. But I said to Sean in that moment, I was like, I don't know if this makes me a bad boyfriend, but there's nothing that could happen to you that would make me cause a scene in the theatre. I'd be so self-conscious. I always think that. Get out. I'd be so respectful of theatre etiquette that he could have a fucking heart attack and I'd just be like, get a grip.

Put it together. You know when people try to get- Or I'd just really quietly drag him out. I wouldn't be like, no. Yeah, I know. You know how when try to get- Or I'd just really quietly drag him out. I wouldn't be like, no! Yeah, I know. You know how when you get- No hysterics in the theatre. You've got to get to your seat.

You've got to awkwardly shuffle your butt past people's knees. Imagine just dragging Sean's corpse past everyone. Excuse me. Sorry. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Coming through. Excuse me.

Sorry. I would not scream and interrupt the whole show, but did you find out what happened there? They came back for second act. Oh, right. Okay. Good. They just fainted. It must have been lightheaded.

They're all good. They're an elderly patron. But they went back for act two. Oh, that's good. They're all good. Anyway, so we walked into the theatre to have our seats and you'd told us that you were already going to be on stage in character before the show actually started. Correct.

So we have our seats. Good seats. Yeah. What are the fucking odds though? Who's sitting right in front of us? Yeah. Mark and Michelle Chury. Isn't that crazy? And you didn't plan that. And so I thought I'm going to take this opportunity. I'm going to interview Michelle Chury.

But God, you're a chip off the old block because your father fucking made it all about him. He stole the mic. He does that, yeah. From Michelle. Didn't even let her answer. Michelle, could you hold this and tell me how proud you are of your son up there? But be subtle because we're not supposed to record. I cannot tell you.

I'm not one fucking bit proud. Oh, fuck him. I love him. Oh, hello. Sorry. What have I done? This has been recorded. I'm so proud of him, Mitchell.

And you, Michelle. Yay, so very proud. Chookers. Should I retract what I said? I was trying to be funny. No, no, you're right. Can you edit it proud. Chookers. Should I retract what I said? I was trying to be funny. No, no, you're all right. Can you edit it? You can edit it.

It's live. I'm fucked. That's exactly how I talk to you on the podcast. Edit it. Oh, what did I say? Just edit it out. And he had a champeth or two. Oh, she had a lobster roll.

I almost missed my performance. They were getting blind. Dad had a martini. So did Mum at the bar beforehand. And so at this point, the show hasn't started, but like I said, you're already on stage. And we couldn't really tell if you were in character or not because you were interacting with people in the audience. And I thought, is that an auntie?

And he's like, hi, look at me. I'm on stage. We couldn't tell if it was acting or not. But then you'll hear the moment that you fucking took us all by surprise. Okay. So the show hasn't even started yet and he's already up there on stage. We can't tell if he's in character or if he's just loving himself sick because he's just waving.

Oh, he's waving again. Why won't he look at us? Mitch, look! Jenna's waving furiously. He won't look. We're over here. True. Mitch, true.

We're over here. Mitch. No. Mitch! What, we're over here. Mitch. Joe. Mitch. What's his character name? Othello or some shit. Oh, look at him. Oh, he's dancing.

Oh, my God. He's actually nailing it. Oh, Mitchell, you're killing it. Holy fuck. I'm thoroughly impressed,enna what about you wow i didn't know he had it in him neither oh that's a beautiful review were you worried we were gonna slag you off yes because i was sitting there like a proud mom going there's my boy he's nailing it oh i was dancing i had and actually the moment you played that audio, that is my cue to start with Corrie. That boom, boom, boom, boom.

That's why it took as my surprise. I'm like, oh, he's dancing now. I jumped up and started dancing, yeah. Oh, God, that makes my heart race. Did you actually – I mean, obviously I'm not a dancer, but my character was a bad dancer. That was my – Oh, well, I meant what I said before, that you just blended right in.

Yeah, cool. Yeah. But weren't you an actor playing an actor? Correct. Yeah, so it was very well done. Yes, thank you so much. Yeah. And so, anyway, we sat through the rest of the show.

You made little appearance at the very start. Yeah. And you mentioned maybe last week that you had another scene, some nightclub scene that they created for you. Yes. And you said it was going to be right before intermission. Got it. Well, the scene was always in the show.

Okay. However, they were going to give me a role in that scene. Well, this is our reaction when we were quite confused. Where the fuck is he? It's intermission and he hasn't popped up again since. Okay. He said he'd be back before intermission, but he's not. I was waiting for him to be in.

He said like a nightclub scene or something. Yeah. He said he was going to come be back before intermission, but he's not. I was waiting for him to be in, he said like a nightclub scene or something. Yeah, he said he was going to come back right before intermission. When do the lies end? I was expecting it. Now I'm thoroughly disappointed. But no, bravo. What a gorgeous show so far. I love it.

Oscar and I are having the greatest time. Hello. It was so much fun I'm sensing chemistry with those two It could be fun to let them fill in I'm feeling good about it I was The role was cut

The day of Because there was a nightclub scene And that's when we were like Oh this must be it Okay so I had three moments The intro With the players And then the middle scene

Which was the nightclub scene And then the middle scene, which was the nightclub scene. And then the end, I was on for the final number. Don't spoil it without a reaction to that. Yes, of course. And they said, great. I just hadn't rehearsed. All I'd done is learn the choreography in rehearsals.

And they said, because you're acting, you're going to be standing in the line of the nightclub. It was going to be me. The whole premise is they're in Paris now. They've left, obviously, London, wherever they they are england and then they go into paris um so they could not put me in that scene because that would require them to make me a second outfit because i could not be in this outfit wow that's some fucking strong attention to detail well yeah that didn't make sense because they were actors in a play now i'm a just a parisian nightclub right i see so i could not have been in this outfit and they obviously that's more time and effort for the team yeah they're like fuck it you can't well yeah so they

said it's easy it's easy to cut you so it makes sense um but i only found out on the day yeah right okay all i was gonna do is did you take it personally i did yeah because that was like the acting right cory i was like oh i'm not good at this but i'll kind of buff my way through it but the acting in the middle i'm like oh i can be like a sexy Parisian. Did that have a speaking role? No, just improv on the stage, mumbling and groaning. Oh, okay. When are we getting in? Oh, I'm going to go and have a British pinger.

You would have been so good. No. So at this point, we're at intermission. We've only seen you at the start. And so we're fucking about at intermission. I wanted Oscar to do his roving reporting. I wanted him to do his fucking job. Yeah.

And so I went looking for him. This is where I found him. I found Oscar. He's outside having a vape. Chook. What do you think of the show so far? Intermission? Look, I'm loving it. Purely because there was five Britney songs in a row.

What was your favourite? Oh, fuck. That's like asking me to choose between children. I'm gonna say probably Baby One More Time because it really caught me off guard. Sing it. Hit me, baby, one more time. Gosh.

Oi, fuck, there's Stephen. Stephen? Quick, take the mic. Cherry's boyfriend is there. Quick, give me, give me, give me, give me. Stephen? Hello. What did you think of Cherry's performance? me, give me. Stephen. Hello. What did you think of Juri's performance?

Oh, my God. I wept. I cried out for joy. I jumped out of my seat. I almost shat my pants. Well, I thought blink and you'll miss. No, but no, I do agree, Stephen. What part of his performance made you weep?

Oh, it would have been when he clapped and then jumped. Oh, that was my favourite too. It was pretty good. What did you guys think? Did you enjoy it? Yeah, no, I loved his little shuffle hop one too, up to the back. I thought that was gorgeous. Yeah, that got me erect.

I think he stayed up all night practising it. Oh, and you know what? It showed because he was the best one there. Well, thank you so much. Mwah. All right, bye. Kissed my boyfriend. Oh, it's just a mwah.

Yeah, no, of course. Yes. Oh, God. Did you actually stay up all night practicing? Yes. Oh, how adorable. That's really cute. I've got all the video, the choreography favorited in my phone.

Yeah. In fact, I caused a massive behind-the-scenes kerfuffle because the choreographer, the dance leader, Romy, incredible, she has me on Instagram and she DM'd me saying, are you all good for tonight? And I was like, help me, I need help, I need extra rehearsal time. She then escalated that to company management. Oh, fuck. So then I get a call going, hi, Mitch,

what time do you need to get to the theatre? We'll block out the stage for you. We need you to be prepared. And I'm like, oh, no, it was just a joke. Yeah, just give me 10 backstage. That's all I need. A quick run through. I got half an hour.

We actually ran through all the scenes with the cast before the show. Here's a fun hack for next time, assuming there is one. If you have a video of the Corrie, you put it in mirror view and then you just copy it like you're playing Just Dance on the Wii. Oh, that's such a good idea because I put my back to it. Yeah, right. It's hard. And then it kept turning around.

I'm an idiot. Okay, these reviews are good. You can be honest now. I'm all idea. Oh, that's smart. Because I put my back to it. Yeah, right. It's hard. And then kept turning around. I'm an idiot. Okay, these reviews are good. You can be honest now. I'm all right. I know it was good. It was fine. But it wasn't like show-stopping. I'm not going to get a Tony anytime soon.

Well, you were worried about something snarky that you said to Sean. Yes. Little do you know, here's what he had to say about you behind your back. Sean, my love, as someone who started at NIDA and should be up there on the stage, you've earned your spot. What do you think of Churi being up there? Are you so fucking jealous? I'm so jealous.

I'm happy for him, but there's a little part of me, there's a part of my soul that's crushed, it's dying, it's blackened. I'm seething with rage and jealousy, but really happy for him. He did a great job. Do you think you could have done better, though? Yes. Honestly? Say that again.

Yes, I do think Sean could have done better. I love you, Jenna. Get a room. How dare you? I love him so much. Do you notice that she seems to be extremely fond of anyone who isn't you and I? Yes, that was exactly what I was going to say. I love Oscar.

And Stephen fucking messaged me about know, he messaged me about, his review was all about Sean as well. Really? Yes. And to find what he said. Oh, I love them. It was so nice. Sean is the polite and cordial centre of that whole group.

He is really so sweet and so, so, so nice. I love him. I can't fucking deny that. That's beautiful. Polite and cordial centre. Of that whole group. Fuck me. He holds everyone together. Which is why we're so and cordial centre of that whole group. Fuck, Rick. He holds everyone together.

Which is why we're so foul when he's not around. I know, I know. All right, so you saw that. You didn't see me in the middle, but then I did come back at the end. So we walked into intermission quite disappointed. We didn't see you again. So we had to sit through the rest of the show, which obviously we enjoyed. Amazing show.

But we were like, come on, TikTok clown, where the fuck is he? Yeah. And then I actually didn't notice that you popped up. Yeah, in the last scene. I was on stage for the entire reprise of Raw. Yeah. Yeah. And this is our reaction.

You ready? Oh, wait, there's Mitch. Oh, my God. There's Mitch. He's over there. He's in the background looking emotive. He's nodding. Now he looks bored.

Now he's smizing. I wonder if he can see us. No. He's bopping his head along with the song. Is he singing? Everyone is dancing. He's just leaning against a fake brick wall. Oh, my God, he's singing. Oh, no, he's just leaning against a fake brick wall. Oh my god he's singing.

Oh no he's stopped now. Oh my god they just handed him a mic. This is him. There I am. Oh he's breakdancing. Behind Rob Mills. I am breakdancing. Oh, we look so puffed.

So what? Bravo. Thank you. I take my bow. Your bow was slightly out of time with the rest of the bows, which is hilarious. I noticed that. I didn't know how to do it.

I could see your mate tapping you going, now. Yeah, she was. I was like, fucking bow, you bitch. So we left covered in fucking confetti. Yep. Because we were right at the front, so we got drenched in it. That's a bit of fun. Popped out to the foyer again,

and that's when we bumped into Nikita and Gemma. Now, they're idiots. They are. Well, I don't know if Gemma was. Nikita definitely is. But anyway, Oscar decided to ask them what they thought, and you can tell by this point Oscar's well and truly on the piss. Nikita, how did you enjoy the show?

I loved every second of it. It was incredible. And what did you think of Mitch's performance? It was 10 out of 10. The people that were not here tonight missed out. He was barely fucking in it. He was on stage for maximum two minutes. I had more screen time than him and I was in the fourth row. I had streamers and confetti all over my puss.

So what did you really think? I was waiting for him to speak and I thought, did I blink? Did I miss something? Was he on at the start? Because we made it just on time. I thought he was robbed. Who are you? I'm Gemma.

Gemma, what did you think? I loved it. My favourite part was the first one minute that Mitch Cherry was... Ah, the bitch who paid attention. But what was your favourite number? Um, fucking perfect. I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. I agree with her there.

That was the funniest part of the whole fucking show. What? You know I said that Casey Donovan can sing anything and it'll give me goosebumps. Yeah. She did the most beautiful rendition of Perfect by Pink. Oh, okay. But she was doing it with that real,

what's that accent that they have in all of the musicals? Oh, like a cockney. Yeah, the cockney, you know, like the, I do anything, that sort of accent. She's like, like you're nothing, you're fucking bad. But it was so beautiful. And then she just goes, fucking. It was hilarious.

Everyone pissed themselves. Well, you know, I will say that I did have a speaking role. I just wasn't mic'd up. I spoke for minutes on stage. What were you saying? Because I could tell that. I wasn't sure if that was part of the character or if you genuinely were just saying to the person next to you,

what are we doing? What do I do? No, no. Well, I ran on. And the point is we're actors on opening night. So we can be an actor. So I ran out. I said hi to the stage, hi was in character. What do I do? No, no. Well, I ran on. And the point is we're actors on opening night. So we can be an actor. So I ran out. I said hi to the stage, hi to the audience.

And then one of the players gave me a script and she was going, go over your lines. Read them out to me. And what were you doing? I was reading the lines. So you have to actually listen to what the other person is doing and play along with it. Yes, and you yes and them. So they give you an offer and you say yes and. Right, I see.

She was like, these are your lines. Have you learned them? And I said, I've learned them all. And you play and you keep going. Yes, and you yes and them. So they give you an offer and you say yes and. Right, I see. She was like, these are your lines. Have you learned them? And I said, I've learned them all. And you play and you keep going. Yeah, right. We fucking spent up a storm on the kiddio, by the way. Oh, go for it. That's all right.

I think fair. I thought champagne's on us. Yeah, we never do it. I didn't benefit at all. I didn't get anything. I don't even get ticket sales. That's true. What did you get out of this?

It's a feather in my cap. Yeah, you're right. Also, what a ridiculous job. It's a job. It's so dumb. What, theatre actors? No. No, what I get to do.

No, it's ridiculous that your line of work led you to that. 100% correct. That I was technically on payroll, like getting paid to do it. It was stupid. No, two days are the same, huh? That's right. I have to say a big thank you to the Michael Castle group put this on. They do Hamilton and they're doing Titanic, which is coming to Sydney.

It's a Titanic musical? I'm not across Titanic. No. Titanic. Titanic. Oh, my God. This sounds right up my bloody alley. Mitchell, it's a comedy musical told from the lens of Celine Dion,

as if she was on the Titanic. Okay. Yeah, I'm interested now. It's hilarious. I already was interested. That sounds fun. We're invited to the premiere, of Okay. Yeah, I'm interested now. It's hilarious. I already was interested. That sounds fun. We're invited to the premiere, of course. We're in with Michael Castle.

Oh, wait, when is it? Oh, it's not for, they're casting now. It won't be for another year. Oh, right. Yeah, but it's coming 2025, I think. Maybe I could audition. Yeah, it's offer only. We'll call you.

That's how it works, Jenna. She could just play the iceberg. Yeah. Ouch. You hit me. You have to be brave. We don't talk enough about the iceberg's perspective. No, we really don't.

Just hit in the middle of the ocean. Just set their mind to its own business. Yes. Although, Jenna, you could be the hand double for the car scene. With the condensation. And they just slap the hand. Because you've got a great hand, very feminine looking hand. She'd scratch the glass. No, she would with a condensation. And they just slap the hand on, because you've got a great hand, very feminine looking hand.

She'd scratch the glass. No, she would with a prop glass. Everyone in the audience is wincing. Oh, terrible. Well, I loved it. I actually miss the theatre now. It was being backstage and that's what I was doing before I was doing radio, not professionally, but just being in the theatre and being with a cast,

I felt so at home. How did it feel doing something where you can't wing it? You have to actually apply yourself. I know. I was so out of my depth. I have to prepare. But not really. No, no.

I sound like a parent, but if you put your mind to it, you can do it. Well said. It is true. Well said. It is true. Anyway, well, thanks for the reviews, guys. Pleasure.

I need to get out of this velour. I'm very hot. Yeah, it's boiling hot in here. I don't know what's going on. Should we end the episode? Yeah, we should get out of here. for the reviews, guys. Pleasure. I need to get out of this velour. I'm very hot. Yeah, it's boiling hot in here. I don't know what's going on. Should we end the episode? Yeah, we should get out of here. Thanks for listening, idiots. Don't forget to stock up on your merch, coupleofmitches.com.au.

We were going to close it at the end of May. It was going to be merch May, but then we were like, fuck it. Let's leave it open. Yeah, I think we should. We can't sell all these hoodies and jumpers but not have the store open in winter. It makes no sense. We're getting a lot of photos too. If you have bought merch, send us a pic, put it on Instagram, tag us.

We would love to see your merch. So sweet. All right. Thanks for coming to all the edits to the end of the show and Juliette. And we'll see you guys very soon. Catch you on Wednesday. See ya. 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 oh can we look at the most recent review in our podcast i know it's self-indulgent, but I took this one as a huge compliment. I haven't checked. If it's fucking, what's her name? No, it's not Hot Diggity Dickhead.

Oh, God, I want to block them. Here we go. Oh, okay. Miss UK to Oz, 18. I'm willing to bet she moved from the UK to Australia in 2018. I don't know where you got that idea. She says, totally amazing pod, five stars. The production quality is top notch.

Nice. With crisp audio and seamless editing. Wow. That enhances the overall experience. Their dynamic energy and genuine camaraderie make it clear that Mitchell and Mitch are passionate about what they do and it's infectious. Whether you're in need of a good laugh, some lighthearted entertainment or sense of community, Is It Just Me, the podcast, delivers on all fronts.

It's a must listen that promises to brighten your day and leave you eagerly awaiting the next episode. Mitchell Coombs and Mitch Turi have truly crafted a podcasting masterpiece. A podcasting masterpiece. Okay, I'll take it. I'd agree. That's a testament to you, Mitch. Mitch does all the editing and the production stuff here on the show

and then I just obviously bring star power. And you really do such a great job it's harder than it sounds you listen to some of your other favorite podcasts and i guarantee you they do not sound as good and as clean and as well as we do true it's something that people don't notice enough yeah well that's the key to being a good editor they shouldn't notice yeah but also credit to us i don't have to do that much editing. We're kind of punchy anyway. Oh, but the show is as live as well. We just have to cut out some of my mentions. Because I just speak and I might make trouble.

Yeah, for legal reasons after what the judge said. Oh, yeah. And we better. We don't want to go back there. We can read out one more if we want. Did I tell you, by the way, how interesting is this? Yeah. I was curious the other day.

I wanted to find out how many more listens the Ferdinand episode got. Because sometimes when we bring a guest on, their fan base will tune in. Yes. So I went into like the analytics section, which I never really look at. Yeah. And by the way, the answer is yes.

She gave us a good boost. So that was good. That's great. And also the episodes thereafter. So I think a few Fadan fans stuck around, which is cute. Hi, Fadan fans. Middle-aged women, no doubt. But I also arranged like our most listened to episodes from highest to lowest in the last 12 months.

If you had to guess, what episode of ours in the last 12 months, presumably June to June, has gotten the most listens? What did we do in the last year? I don't remember anything we've ever done. Oh, Jenna's BBL reveal. That was huge. That was a good one. No, that was a TikTok, not the podcast. You're right, sorry. Would it be the breakup episode? No. Oh, Jenna's BBL reveal. That was huge. That was a good one. No, that was a TikTok, not the podcast.

You're right. Sorry. Would it be the breakup episode? No. Oh, good. Thank fuck. Any ideas? I honestly cannot think of anything we've ever done.

Neither can I. I erase it from my memory. The most listened to episode in the last 12 months is the Sean pit. Oh, Sean. When you got Sean on for the first time to grill him when we were still new. That was not the last 12 months. I know. That's the weird part.

That was December 2022. And yet, within the last 12 months, that's gotten the most listens. That's weird. Isn't that so fucking weird? I'm like, does it come up when you Google Mitchell Coon's boyfriend or something? Let me try. I did send it to Stephen because I can announce he has willingly agreed to come on. I was going to ask now. I know it's good for numbers.

Wendy free. Yeah, no, he wants to do it. Yay. So he listened to it. Maybe he's so nervous he's listening to it that many times he's boosting it in our algorithm. I actually said to him after Oscar fucking interrogated him, I said, we need to stop doing this to you.

I know. Just shoving a microphone in his face. First it was the Mardi Gras marshalling. Oh, yes. He's much better now. He was very nervous at the start about the mic stuff, but now he's all good. He was so chill. Yeah. Oh, yes. He's much better now. He was very nervous at the start about the mic stuff, but now he's all good. He was so chill.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mitchell Coombs' boyfriend comes up. Does the episode come up? No, there's nothing. It doesn't come. Teaching my boyfriend to drive. Yeah, I wonder why people keep listening to that episode.

It was a great episode. I actually found it really cringe because I sound so nervous, which I was. Yeah. Because it was still new. Yeah. And you brought this fucking guy I decided dating into the studio. I sounded all flustered. Yeah.

I remember that. That was a cute episode. But also, I don't think it was number two, but it was certainly up there, the breakup episode. So yeah, I'll have to take one for the team. You've already done a breakup. Yeah. You're going to be able to break up.

Sorry, Sean. I don't even remember. Did we, what did we do for the breakup episode? Did I just talk about it? I said we were just broken up I didn't say you cried mate did I

yeah cried I didn't turn up did it make pre um wow that's so interesting yeah well Sean

this is a very good episode with Sean um Stephen has said he does want to do it so right we'll have to pencil that in

for our break so we're off we're off for a couple weeks idiots so Jenna the key to good ratings if you and Oscar do agree to fill in for us, is if you could announce a relationship at the start

and then in the last episode you do announce a breakup. That's two in one, baby. Like a story arc. Totally. And if they're famous, it's even better. Okay, good to know. When has that ever happened to us? It hasn't.

Yeah, right. So it might be the first for us. Correct, yeah. Who's someone that Jenna should announce that she's dating? Jacob Elordi. Just like someone so hot. I was thinking more like we start a rumor that she had an affair with Grant Denyer. Shezzy. Shezzy have a fist fight.

Yeah. In Bathurst. Or like she's just like in a full-on gay relationship with Patty Newton. Now Bert's gone. I can live my truth. I can see it. She's a late-in-life lessee. Yeah.

Good for her. I did make a Bert Newton joke last night backstage and they were all like, we were friends with Bert. Oh, no. Yeah, of course. They were probably in Wicked with him. Rob Mills was like, who do you think? He was in Wicked with Bert.

Bert played the wizard and Rob Mills was Fiyero. Yeah. That makes so much sense. What the fuck did you say? I had to be put down. Oh, my God. I've always thought that. He just said, you had a great stage presence.

And I was like, thanks. I was channeling. I said, I got. No. That's my joke I always make. When someone compliments my hair, Rob was like, you're sweaty. You had great stage presence, but your hair still looks great. I'm like, thank you.

It's from the Burt Newton estate. Oh. Because I pretend it's Burt Newton estate. Oh. Because I pretend it's Burt's wig. He wasn't even brunette. Nobody had a pompadour. Oh yeah, maybe not. It's still too soon for Rob. They were colleagues. Of course, yeah.

Long time. What, you reckon I'll die first out of this duo, do you? Oh, definitely. Definitely. Who knows? Would you keep the pompadour going? I don't really want to think about it. No.

If I perished? No. Yes. Imagine if you did. Imagine if I just swept it under the rug like nothing happened. Hello, you. Yeah, that's right. Mitch Shuri isn't here this week or ever again.

He's perished, but we welcome our new co-host and we just sold it on. That'll be so fun. Is it just me? Did you notice Mitch Shuri died tragically? What would you do if I died? I'd be a week. You'd be screwed. There'd be a week or two break.

The show would be, we couldn't do it. We'd have to cancel it. I reckon if you did die, I couldn't carry on the podcast, but we'd have to do one sort of in memoriam. Oh, yeah. You know? Oh, that would go off. We'd have to have a conversation with our idiot.

Oh, I'd want you to get that AI fucking back, and I want to co-host my death episode, please. No, that's, I want you to do it. All right, Jenna, you're the witness. That's what he wants. Yep. So if he dies, that's what he wants. Okay.

No, I'm not joking. I want a full episode. Just type what you think I'd say. Oh, okay. Cool. I don't want to manifest this. It's going to be so much more work for me, but it's dying. It's never going to happen.

It's not going to happen. You'll never have to do this. No, but it could be in like 60 years. Correct. The AI will be so good. You could get a hologram of me. Exactly. Yeah. You know, apparently the Michael Jackson musical is coming to Australia. It's meant to be this. No, but it could be in like 60 years. Correct. AI would be so good. You could get a hologram of me. Exactly. You know, apparently the Michael Jackson musical's coming

to Australia. It's meant to be amazing. Yes. I know. Oh, you're not a Michael fan? I'm not not a fan, but I've just, yeah, I've never really liked his music that much. Yeah, I'm not a really major Michael fan. I can't even name more than three songs. Yeah, I'm the same. What else are they going to do in the fucking show? Well, that's what I said. They said

last night, you're so good, you should audition for Michael. They're doing opening auditions now. Yeah, and I said, yeah, I'm going to audition for the doctor that gave him the propofol. I wonder how that would go down if you just had to resign from radio because you're like, oh, yeah, I'm doing theatre now. I thought they meant to get you to audition as Michael Jackson. I don't think so. I think there was a period of his life where he was very bloated.

I could play Baby Blanket. Oh, yeah. I might have dangled you off a balcony. You'd need a strong fucking harness. Would you ever do theatre, Mitchell? You'd be good. No, I could never. You could.

The dancing you'd be good at. You've got rhythm. Have you seen me dance? You've got rhythm. I was the worst one. Every time I've been in the Mardi Gras flight, I'm the worst one. You're not. You're very good. Jenny, you could do it too. You've got rhythm. I was the worst one. Every time I've been in the Mardi Gras flat, I'm the worst one. You're not. You're very good.

Jenny, you could do it too. You've got that ensemble vibe. I have done theatre. What was the production? The Importance of Being Earnest. I was also in an original production of Body Swords. What? Yeah.

The fuck's that? Was this Dubbo Regional Theatre's? No, it was actually NIDA. Wow. Yeah. Of course you're a NIDA bitch too. That's why she likes Sean. I'm a NIDA bitch as well.

Are you? Yeah. Then why aren't you nicer? I was thinking maybe that's where Jenna and Sean get their politeness. No, NIDA people are famously bastards. Yeah. Or it depends if you were a part-timer or a full-timer. That's exactly what I was going to say.

No, I did just casual courses. Like a short course? A short course and then I also performed at the theatre twice. I was in an original production of Pronoun at atyp in the rebel wilson theater and i played the role of the mother the mother yeah because the whole show was yeah i i detected it might be gender bending if the name is pronoun yeah it's pretty terrible i much prefer being myself and performing well that, that's kind of the opposite of theatre. It is. Famously.

Yeah. Anyway, should we get out of here? We should, yeah. I want to actually get out of this velvet. It's really hot. It doesn't look comfy anymore. It's not nice. Back next week, guys.

We will see you then. Thanks for listening. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do. Catch you on Wednesday, idiots. Thanks for coming to the show if you saw. And Juliet.

Love ya. See ya. Bye bub.
