Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Mitchell fucking Cherry uttered a sentence to me that I never thought I'd hear him say. He goes, so what's the vision? I just mean what's the vision? It's a creative term.
Starting point is 00:00:22 I didn't know you put such importance on vision. Fucking Fred Hollis over here all of a sudden. What's the go with that? Now, here's Mitch Curie and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Oh, good to be here. Mitchell, you've got matching nail polish to your hoodie. You need to go to Specsavers, my love. This is a deep mahogany and this is purple. Oh, my God. It's close.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Kind of. Like, I thought you'd done that on purpose. Have you not? No. Total accident. Show me that nail polish. That's lovely. It's like a deep apple red, like snow white apple red.
Starting point is 00:00:54 What was that apple you were banging on about last week? Oh, Red Delicious. Red Delicious. Oh, my God. Maybe I'm going for the Red Delicious. Oh, my God. Maybe you're inspired by me. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:01:01 And the hoodie's nice. The fashion game. Someone's been watching Trini and Susanna. I've owned this for about two years, but thanks for noticing. Have you? You've never worn it. I definitely have. You look good.
Starting point is 00:01:09 How are you? Oh, yeah. No, good, good. I'm actually going through a breakup, if I'm being really honest. Sorry. Not Sean. Sorry, I interrupted. Oh, fuck, I should have left that going for longer, actually.
Starting point is 00:01:22 You guys were freaking out. My heart just stopped. Would I really bring it up to you that way if I broke up with Sean? You would, actually, wouldn't you? Pricekeeper Jenna, welcome. You actually would. That is so you. I'm going to be the boy who cried breaker.
Starting point is 00:01:32 I feel sick. Instantly, I was Team Sean. I don't know what that says about our friendship. My instant thought was, what have you done? Instantly. What have you done to my Sean? Okay, so it's not a child. Now it's another professional breakup.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Remember I was really heartbroken about breaking up with my hairdresser, Franco, because he left me. Yes, I do. With no way of contacting him. So now it's my psychiatrist. No. Yeah. He's been with me since I was 18.
Starting point is 00:02:01 The start of the bloody ADHD medication prescription. Wait, not our psychologist, your psychiatrist. No, no, psychiatrist, the ones that give you the drugs. Got a real team of people keeping you up, don't you? I do. But he said to me, gorgeous Dr. Greg, we see each other every six months to get a new prescription. Okay. And it's the shortest appointment ever.
Starting point is 00:02:20 It's like, are they still working? Great. Here's more meds. Wow. And then he said to me recently, you know that now that you've been taking this for a while, I can give authority for just the GP to give you the medication, but it would mean no more appointments with me. And I was like, Greg, don't think I haven't valued our time together, but you're 300 bucks a pop every six months. That's 600 a year just for
Starting point is 00:02:42 some meds. I'm going to the GP. See ya. Absolutely. Bye. But it still hurts having to say goodbye. But I almost feel like he broke up with you. No, he just offered the suggestion, but I was like, I feel bad that he's given me the option. I have to be the one to make the choice. Very ethical of him.
Starting point is 00:02:56 But, God, if I was in Greg's position, I would never tell my clients that that's an option. I want to keep raking in that cash. He's very good for telling you that. Especially if they're a bit mental. Clearly, I mean, I'd be like, abuse, you know, take the cash. So, yeah, broken up with Dr. Craig after, fuck, I'm no good at maths. How long has it been since I was 18?
Starting point is 00:03:13 Ten years. You know what? I'm glad you did it because I never broke up with my GP that I had from childhood, Dr. Saad Oxy Action White. Remember? Oh, yeah. Dr. Saad, lovely man. And then, because I've got sleep apnea, right?
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah. Didn't he say, oh, it's so nice that it's been cured or something? Yeah. Mum went back in to see him because she still goes to him. And he's like, you know, I'm so glad Mitch's sleep apnea was miraculously cured by divine intervention. I haven't seen him in three years. I mean, he's so happy and healthy.
Starting point is 00:03:38 No. She's like, no, he's still very unwell. He just thinks you're terrible. He's gravely ill, but he'd rather die than come back and see you. Yeah, when I got gonorrhea, it was so hard to get the injection that I ended up going to my local, like going to, there's a bed in his practice that you can just get injections in. So I stuck in.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Well, there's a bed in his doctor's office. Is it like a medical centre type of thing? Correct, yeah. So you don't have to see that GP. You can just use their beds to get bloods drawn. So I went in to get my injection in my left arse cheek. And as I was lying there, whole out, George walked in and went, Mitchell, what are you doing here?
Starting point is 00:04:12 This isn't how you cure a sleep, happen here? And I was like, no, I've got gonorrhea. He was beside himself. He's like, you've changed. Fuck, you've changed. But I'm glad you did because I went the wrong way about it. You've clearly gone the right way. Amicable splits always really nice.
Starting point is 00:04:26 But he goes, don't be afraid to get in touch if you ever need anything. And I'm like, fuck, I'm going to become a hypochondriac and fake shit just to see Greg. I'm going to miss him. Do you like Greg? Is he nice? I do. He's great. Because it was like my parents didn't get me diagnosed.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I went and did that myself, basically first thing when I moved to Sydney. So he's been with me since the beginning. Well, knowing you, you'll develop something new. so I'm sure you'll be back to him. Well, knowing you, you might provoke it within me, some sort of snap. You're not wrong. So, you know, it might not be goodbye to Greg just yet. Should we get him on the show? Why?
Starting point is 00:04:56 Yeah, can we? We just haven't done that. We'll get all our therapists on. Well, Mitch, it'd be easy for Mitch. And replace us. Oh, my God. One episode of the show hosted by our – well, Mitch and I have the same. So it would be one.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, but you can get Greg instead on your part. I don't know if they would do that, like the whole confidentiality thing. That's why I've been saying Dr. Greg, no last name. No, they wouldn't. My brother-in-law got recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and I sent him to my sleep apnea doctor. And he's like, oh, I just want the mask that Mitch has. And the doctor was like, given Mitch's public figure i cannot comment on the mask mitch uses and then he's like is my brother-in-law i want the mask he has because look mitch is in a different position to other
Starting point is 00:05:35 i'm like bro just tell him what mask i've got he's seen me naked it's fine why is your brother-in-law seen you naked? Long story. Close family. Yeah, your family is very close. You can't just drop that and expect me not to ask questions. Let's just say. Your brother-in-law's seen you naked. Oh, God, I've seen those pawns. He just wanted to make sure he was in the right jury. And he was like, yeah, I think I was all along, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Absolutely. I've got bigger tits than my sister Becky, so. I need more, actually, but the skin's sad. I was going to say, isn't she due to be breastfeeding any day now? Like, she would have huge knockers on her. Any moment now, yeah. Did I fucking tell you that we discussed my ex-girlfriend from high school's tits on this podcast? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And I said something along the lines of, even though I'm gay, I can recognise she's got a rack on her. Yeah. Her sister heard it and then showed her mother. And her mother, who used to be my teacher, went up to my mother in Woolworths and goes, I heard your son talking about my daughter's breasts on his podcast. And Jane's like, what? You're kidding me. If somebody came up to me and said Mitchell Coombs was talking about that, I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:06:43 nah. I think that's the first time that sentence has ever been uttered in the history of the English language. But also, she wasn't appalled. She was quite proud. She's like, yep, that's what her mama gave her. That's my girl. And gay men don't throw around tit compliments easily. That's true.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I don't. That's very rare that I appreciate a rack. Oh, good on her. That is very true. Hey, if it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every show we start the same with something we've noticed, something we hate, or I'll tell you what, something we appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I don't know Mitch's. No idea. No clue. Mine, I think, will blindside you guys. Any further details? Nah, because I don't want to lead you on. Oh, okay. Well, I would suggest that my idjim, you might not like it, but hear me out.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Okay. Well, why don't I go go first because I'm busting up the seams to get mine out. Sure, okay. Go for it. Bradley, count me in. Is it just me or? Are you also, as of today? A first-time uncle.
Starting point is 00:07:40 I'm an uncle. Are you serious? I just brought that up. Yes. I know. Literally, she'll be breastfeeding soon is what I said. She'll be breastfeeding right now! Congratulations, Uncle Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Uncle Mew! I feel like the planets have aligned. I am born to be an uncle. I did think that there was a weird look in your eyes when I mentioned your sister breastfeeding. I had to look away. Oh my God! Little baby Remy Ray was born. Is that a boy or girl?
Starting point is 00:08:06 It's a little girl. Oh, my God. She's so. Okay, that's a cute newborn. She is a cute newborn. Remy Ray could be a country singer. Listen to that name. And I really love the name Remy.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Isn't it gorgeous? It's one of my favourites. I did flag the whole ratatouille of it all, but they didn't seem to care. Oh, hi, Remy. No, she is a very, she's a cute newborn. Isn't she ever? She really is. Yeah, Becky and my brother-in-law, sleep out near Kurt, had, Remy. No, she is a very, she's a cute newborn. Isn't she ever? She really is. Becky and my brother-in-law, sleep apnea Kurt, had baby Remy.
Starting point is 00:08:28 It was Monday the 15th of July. Is Remy short for Ramekin? No, it's not. No, it's short for ramification. Yeah, that's better. Here you go. Isn't she cute? I know.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Have you met her yet? Yeah, I've met her. And here's what I wanted to discuss. Yeah. I wanted to see what you went through because you're an uncle as well, Mitch. Yes. Uncle of three, soon to be four. Fucking sister, they fall out of her.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I went to see Remy and she was born on the Monday and I was on air. So I was doing the night radio show on KISS. And I got like the FaceTime from mum, like it's happening at like 7.30. She wasn't in the birthing suite on FaceTime, was she? No, my mum called to be like, it's happening at like 7.30 and my show starts at 7. She wasn't in the birthing suite on FaceTime, was she? No, my mum called to be like, it's happening. Because I was going to say close family. She'd have been on FaceTime being like, push, push, Mitch,
Starting point is 00:09:12 have a look, she's pushing. No, well, it was a natural, it was a Caesar because Becky has MS, so there's complications, so they're like, cut it out of her. Oh, actually, yeah, that's her being cut out of her. Oh, my God, wow. That's quite relaxing, doesn't it? Yeah. It actually does, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yeah. Look at that. That's the baby covered in all the juices. Anyway. They're good photos. I was on air, so I couldn't get there. So I went the next day, the Tuesday, and I thought, it's been 24 hours. I don't reckon they would have wanted you there the moment it happened.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Well, Mum and Dad went. That's the moment Mum and Dad met her. Look in the hospital. Oh, cute. You know my family, like ridiculously close. Overbearing you. Becky said, come the next went. That's the moment mum and dad met her. Look in the hospital. Oh, cute. And my family, like, ridiculously close. Overbearing you. Becky said, come the next day. So I did.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I went the next day. I met little baby Remy with a little beanie on. Oh, she's cute. And I kind of walked up and I was like, can't wait. Took my jacket off. And I kind of, like, get my arms in, like, the position. And Becky went, smile. And I was like, oh, let me grab her.
Starting point is 00:10:01 She's like, no, no, no, selfies only. Oh, you're not allowed to hold her with your own filthy hands. I'm not allowed to touch Remy until she's a week old, so I had to take a selfie. Look at that photo. Like I'm at Comic-Con getting a fucking photo with Stan Lee. It looks like Remy's walking the red carpet and she's so far in the distance and you're taking a fucking photo from the sidelines.
Starting point is 00:10:22 It looks like that photo of Jenna next to fucking Alphaba, Broadway backstage at the stage door in New York City. Smile. Two metres away. Don't want to catch COVID. I'm on vocal rest. She's a newborn baby. Let me touch her.
Starting point is 00:10:33 We share genes. Wait, what was the reason you weren't allowed to touch her? No one knows. Oh, is it because you haven't had your back or she hasn't had her back? Here's the problem. I paid 50 bucks at Chemist Warehouse to get the jab two months ago. Oh. And I'm not had to touch it.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Oh, when can you touch it? I don't know. Never. Well, apparently so. Mum and Dad got to touch it this week. What? So am I. No.
Starting point is 00:10:52 They're grandparents and they're first time grandparents. Yeah, but you're uncle. I am uncle. And I'm Uncle Mitch. Cool Uncle Mitch. Oh, I would know all about that. Yes, you would. You would.
Starting point is 00:11:00 So I think I'm going to hold her this week. The hospital doing a high tea. So I'm going in to have a high tea with my sister and baby Remy. Why are they doing that? What fucking hoity-toity hospital are you paying for? It's a private hospital, but it's because she got a seizure. So Becky has to recover for a week because they've sliced her open. So I think they'll give you some sandwiches and a tea with your baby
Starting point is 00:11:21 and bring all your girls. Remy's eating some scones. Yeah, Remy from the Remy kid. That's interesting. I wonder why. I don't know. I don't know. I think it's just their personal choice, which I truly don't care about.
Starting point is 00:11:31 But hilarious that Remy, at her 21st, I can show her this photo. My sister's personal choice was literally like, here, fucking take them. I don't care. Well, that's what mum sort of said. Mum's like, by the time they have their second and if third, if they want them, they'll be like, take it. But it's first baby.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I'm actually so excited for them. I had a little cry and it's just like such a cheery thing, like a new baby. We've never had it. My family is so close. Becky had a miscarriage this year. She got diagnosed with MS this year and had a baby. It's like, what a whirlwind. I've had a fuck the last 12 months.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It genuinely brought me so much joy and it's kind of put things in different perspective for me, which has been a lovely week. I mean, bloody hell, isn't Remy going to be spoiled rotten? Oh, yeah. My concern is she'll be a brat of a thing because she'll be so spoiled. Do you think? Oh, yeah. It's a slippery slope.
Starting point is 00:12:17 She'll be a diva. She'll be on the podcast in a year. Oh, yeah. Guest hosting, no doubt. Yep, so I'm an uncle. Congratulations. You and I, Mitch, both uncles. Jenny, you're a convicted felon.
Starting point is 00:12:29 That's the show. That's us. That's the rebrand we need. Are we couple of uncles now? Couple of uncles. The rude shocks of young unclehood. No, I was going to say, remember, we're toying with changing it from rude shocks of young adulthood because apparently we've outgrown it.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Literally, we're not young adults by definition. Said some 17-year-old. Surely we could lean into like, you know how everyone's like, oh, the fun aunt energy. We could be like, everyone's favourite. I'm not saying uncles, but everyone's favourite. Uncles. Uncles.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Fucking uncles. Oh, fuck. I think it'll need some time. We can work uncle in there now that it works. Now that we're both uncles. Yeah, that's true. Couple of uncles. And a convicted felon.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Couple of uncles. Yeah. But felon. Couple of uncles. Yeah. But then that makes it sound creepy, doesn't it? Come and have a seat and have a gossip with your favourite uncle. Yeah. Yeah. It just sounds like old men. That really ages us, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Let's keep the branding. Fuck, we are getting old, aren't we? We are getting old. Oh, no. It's really bad, actually. Fuck. Look at my crow's feet. Look at mine.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Oh, wait. I've had enough Bowie. You can't see him. Hey. You are old. We're so old. As Helen Keller once said, this podcast is fucking dope. You're listening to Is It Just Me?
Starting point is 00:13:33 Now, unfortunately, in episode 220, which comes out on Wednesday, I will be bringing to you another fuck-up of mine that happened on stage at a comedy show. I don't mind admitting to my failures. It's fine. Okay, but where has it come from? Has someone brought it to your attention or you realise you did it in the moment? You were there.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Was I? Yeah. Did you catch my eye? In fact, you were the first person to bring it up after the show. What happened? I was very nice. I brought you a drink after the show. I know, but then you did bring up the error, which is fine.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I didn't spiral it all. Uh-oh. That's fine. Did I know, but then you did bring up the error, which is fine. I didn't spiral at all. Uh-oh. That's fine. Did I? Oh, no. Oh, I remember this. There we go. Oh, it's not bad.
Starting point is 00:14:10 It's not bad. Yes, it is. It was a definite mistake. Jenna wasn't there, so I'll let you know what happened. No, I thought you were there, but it was actually just a mop in the corner. Yeah, that was me. I thought, there she is. Oh, no, that's just a mop.
Starting point is 00:14:21 She hasn't washed her hair for the occasion. How rude. Oh, no, that's from Bunnings. At least I was skinny. Yeah, you look so good. Oh, my gosh, she's found the Zen pick at WSFM. All right, do you want to hear my itch-up? Yes, I'm so beyond ready.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I don't think you'll like it. That's fine. It's a bit of contrast. It's good. I'm an uncle now. You know, easy breezy. I've got spawn in this world. Have you got that, like, post-baby glow?
Starting point is 00:14:40 I do, yeah. And I've still got the tummy. It's going down. All right, yeah, I'm ready. All right, here we go. Bradley. Is it just me or? Is the New York Times mini crossword a load of bullshit?
Starting point is 00:14:58 I knew this was coming just because you're not as quick as I am. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. Really? I already don't believe myself to be the smartest person on planet Earth, but I've never felt more dumb as dog shit. Yeah, I agree. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I actually think there are more liars in our midst than we know. Thank you. Yes. You understand what I'm saying now? Yeah. I posted you. We just spoke about this last week. It was my e-germ.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I'm obsessed with it. Last Monday. I've had seven days of fucking using this stupid crossword, and I hate it. Well, Mitchell, you messaged me yesterday, and what did you say. It was my e-germ. I'm obsessed with it. Last Monday. I've had seven days of fucking using this stupid crossword and I hate it. Well, Mitchell, you messaged me yesterday and what did you say? It was very funny. I wanted to put it on my story. It would have been something along the lines of fuck this crossword shit.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah, it was. It's exactly what it was. Yeah. Fuck this crossword shit. I just don't believe anyone that says that they're getting it done in 15 seconds. Yeah. Because I've not done one in under two or three minutes. No, but it takes me like 15 seconds to
Starting point is 00:15:46 read the question. The thing is, some people treat it like a good daily bit of fun. Others treat it like sport. Like they're predator hunting alien. I feel like you've crossed over into treating it like sport. You're that obsessed. I am, but only because the people I'm surrounded with do it. Stephen, my boyfriend, he's insane. Grace
Starting point is 00:16:02 who produces my radio show does it in she did yesterday's in 13 seconds. I just don't believe that. I'm sorry. You can't do it in 13 seconds. The problem I have with it and the reason I'm so sass is that how the fuck are we in Australia expected to know all this American trivia? There's a lot of assumed American
Starting point is 00:16:17 shit in there. One of the questions that we had when we did it on the podcast is stupid bullshit crossword. It was nail polish brand that sounds like two letters of the alphabet. And it was Essie. We don't have that here. No. How are we expected to get that?
Starting point is 00:16:30 That's true. There was another one about American financial interests. Yes. Something. Or Windy City Airport. O'Hare. O'Hare. How the fuck?
Starting point is 00:16:39 I've been there. What? Chicago. I've never been. Chicago's airport is. I do not. Yeah. What about Shallowest of the Great Lakes? Don't tell me you got that. It was eerie. What? Chicago. I've never been. Chicago's airport is... I do not. What about shallowest of the Great Lakes?
Starting point is 00:16:46 Don't tell me you got that. It was eerie. How? How have I expected to know all this shit? Here's the thing. They're the ones I googled. No. There's actually an art to it. Stephen taught me this. You have to go with the dumb ones that you get straight away. The problem is none of them are dumb enough for me.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Wednesday of last week was like Green Ogre in Swamp. Shrek. That of last week was like green ogre in swamp. Shrek. That's a bit tricky. It could have been Fiona. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Okay, true.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah. Okay, good point. Okay, either Shrek or Fiona. But then you already have those letters. So then you go to a word that has, you've already answered one of the letters for. I understand how they work, but it just, that's not enough for me. I still have no idea what to go on. Have you done today's?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah, it took seven minutes. Oh, what did I do? I hate it. Let me check today. Today wasn't strong for me. I still have no idea what to go on. Have you done today's? Yeah, it took seven minutes. Oh, what did I do? I hate it. Let me check today. Today wasn't strong for me. I believe I would be much more successful at this if there was like Aussie trivia. So have a pen each. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I've made my own. Oh my God, this is so fun. I'm not kidding. This is what they should be. Don't look at the answers. Well, I don't have them. I'm holding them here. I saw you having a peek.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Sorry. Here you go, Mitch and Jen. I've printed off one each. Are you going to? Oh my God. I'll give you the clue. Okay. I don't have them. I'm holding them here. I saw you having a peek. Here you go, Mitch and Jen. I've printed off one each. I'll give you the clue. Okay. You're going to read them, so it's going to be hard. You can't speed through it. Trust me. I've made it Mitchel Coombs' level of easy.
Starting point is 00:17:56 If you beat me, Jen, I'm going to actually push you. This is like Aussie trivia, but with a slight let's say Bogan skew. 60 seconds on the clock. Are you ready? Hold on. I'm nervous now.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah. So we're going to start with one across or one down? One across. Can we put this on the, or we can't put it on the socials because we're going to give the answers away. Well, you can. People can do it while we do it. Pause this podcast right now.
Starting point is 00:18:18 We'll put it on the Enduring Idiots Facebook group and you can pause it and do it live. Yeah. Great. 60 seconds on the clock. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. One across. Kath and...
Starting point is 00:18:30 Oh, you've got it. Kim. Yep. One down. Brett's dog. Fuck. Jenna. Oh, do I answer?
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. You have to say it out loud. It's a fucking podcast. Kujo. Kudo. Kujo. K-Ju-Kujo. Got it?
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yep. Kujo. Kath and Kim. Six across. A big fucking rock. Uluru. Uluru. Bingo. I'll beato. Got it. Yep, Kujo. It's just Kath and Kim. Six across. A big fucking rock. Uluru. Uluru. Bingo.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I'll beat you. Seven across. Not happy. Jan. Jan. Got it. And if she had Aussie mates, what would they call her as a nickname? Jeno.
Starting point is 00:18:54 There you go. Jeno. Jeno. Eight across. Oh, it's bin night, love. Can you remind me to take out the bins? No, Kujo. It's O.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Eight across. It's also a restaurant in Bondi. Otto! There you go. Oh, no one calls it an Otto. Nine across. Oi, mate, I've had too much to drink. Can you go...
Starting point is 00:19:13 Dezzo. Yep. One more! Three down. I would drive, but I'm too... Munter! Munter! There you go!
Starting point is 00:19:19 You've got it! Munter! You've got it! In under a minute! How much would I fucking slay this shit if it was Australian trivia? That's incredible. I'm so impressed. Wow, that was fun.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I think we should put what's in the kiddie-o into developing an app. Totally. We'd make money. Let's invest. The Aussie version of this NYC crap. Yeah, yeah. Hold on. I'm looking at this.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It doesn't check out, Mitchell. You've done a great job. I don't mean to criticise. But two down isn't a word. You've not matched them job. I don't mean to criticise. But two down isn't a word. You've not matched them right. I gave up. It's actually really fucking hard making a crossword just so you know. I thought I did well to
Starting point is 00:19:54 fill that many columns. Of course you did. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Got something on your mind? Hit up atcoupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show. Yeah, it's now our turn to kick back and relax and let you really do the work because we do too much.
Starting point is 00:20:12 For once, let the idiots do the work. I agree. And, you know, I know you probably thought, God, this is nice of the Mitches to create a segment where they hear from us. But this is so we can relax. Pretty much, yeah. I don't do much. No, well, I mean, that's your life on this podcast, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:25 The whole thing for you is just, is it just you? Yeah. Although I do enjoy hearing from our idiots. They come up with some crackin' itchums of their own, don't they? And some terrible ones. I get some DMs like, Mitch, big fan of itchum, spelled I-T-G-4-M, and I'm like, this will be terrible as I know. Is it just me or are new bomb babies gorgeous?
Starting point is 00:20:45 I mean, it's not just them. I guess they're gorgeous. Gorgeous in the eye of the beholder. Yeah. Well said. I've seen some munted looking babies. As have I. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. Ones that look like almonds, for God's sake. Look like what? Almonds. What? Oh, here we go. Oh, fuck off. Almonds.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Oh, no. I know I'm saying it weird. Almonds. Almonds. Fuck. What? Almonds. You don't really need to exaggerate the L that much. It's like almonds. Almonds. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Almonds. Oh, no. I know I'm saying it weird. Almonds. Almonds. Fuck. What? You don't really need to exaggerate the L that much.
Starting point is 00:21:06 It's like almonds. Almonds. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Almonds. It's like an R, like arm. Almond. Almond.
Starting point is 00:21:12 That's not right. Almond is dumb. You're missing the L. Almond. No, you're not. No, but that's how it's pronounced. It's not almond. Or do you say palm reader?
Starting point is 00:21:20 No, you say palm. Stop. The reason I'm embarrassed is because I know it sounds dumb, but I can't stop it. Almonds. Fuck off, Mitchell. I'm so mad at myself. Almond. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:21:30 That's so stupid. Can you order a coffee for me? What would you say to them at the cafe? Can I get an almond cat? I don't even speak like that. I actually don't even speak like that. Oh, my God. Almond.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Okay, ready? Yeah. Look at what limb I'm holding out. Yeah, your arm. And now just go mind on the end. All right. Arm and. There we go.
Starting point is 00:21:50 I've done it. I've done it. Now say it again. No, I'm not. Arm and. I'm like a pirate. Arm and. All right, let's go to Wollongong.
Starting point is 00:21:58 We're going to dial up Lexi today. Now, she said, I'm on my way to work. I don't know. That's just for context. She wanted us to know. Okay. Hello. Oh, my God. Lexi in Wollongong. Hi. just for context. She wanted us to know. Okay. Hello? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Lexi in Wollongong. Hi. Hi, Lexi. Hello, lovers. How are you? Pretty good. I'm a bit worried that you're on the phone while driving, my love. Are you able to pull over or not?
Starting point is 00:22:17 I'm on a toll road. Oh, shit. So it's background upon. Oh, someone makes my good money. No, someone just can't be bothered to spend 10 more minutes on the highway. No, fair enough. It sounds all right, shit. So is that found upon? Oh, someone makes my good money. No, someone just can't be bothered to spend 10 more minutes on the highway. No, fair enough. It sounds all right, actually. It's not the worst.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It's not the worst. You must have a nice new car. Oh, my God. I actually do. I did buy, I bought myself a divorce car. So I do have a brand new car. A divorce car? I love it.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I'm obsessed. I love that. Yeah, it's a divorce car. I'm obsessed with it. Oh, I love Lexi already. Congratulations. Well, I was going to say, Lexi's giving me like, Lexi fucks. Like that name.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Like Lexi ought not be fucked with. Exactly right. Well, clearly with that divorce. Well, actually, no, not in the divorce car because the divorce car has leather seats. So not in the divorce car. No, you're going to fuck in that car. Well, no, you want to fuck in a leather. Only with a top down.
Starting point is 00:23:02 You don't want to get juices all over the cloth seats that's true well actually no there is there is a dog tarp in the back so we can do it on the dog that's fine lexi how fresh is the divorce um well it happened 2021 and then my dad was like because i'm very impulsive you may have picked up on that um Dad was like, wait till everything's finalized and then put your deposit down on the car. So I did. And then they were like, great, thank you so much. Congratulations, honey.
Starting point is 00:23:31 That'll be a two-year wait for the car. I was like, what? So I just got my car. Did you really have your heart set on this one type of car? Yes, because I wanted a big sunroof, like the big interior sunroof and leather seats. That's all I wanted. My dad wanted like all these safety features and like, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:50 does it have fucking SSR seat brakes? It's a gay podcast. Remember that, Lexi. The audience, we don't want them to tune out. I was going to ask, what sort of car is it? But then I remembered that you could say anything. And I'd be like, oh, yeah, that's nice. One with leather seats.
Starting point is 00:24:05 One with leather seats. And a dog mat like, oh, yeah, that's nice. I'm picturing charcoal. One with leather seats. Perfect. One with leather seats. And a dog mat. Women can have it all. They can. Yes. All right. Jenna's writing this down too.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I can see Jenna in it. Even though you've never been married in this lifetime. And I don't drive. Oh, yeah. And you have a cat. Step one, drive. Complete opposite of Jenna's life. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Can I just say, I got a cat and then I was like super nervous about it because I was like, did I fuck up in getting a cat? This is manic. This is mayhem. And then it was like, thank you, Cherry. And then it was then like the same week Jenna and Mitch were talking about how great it is having a cat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And how it was like the best choice they ever made. And I was like, you know what? This feels universal. So thanks guys. You in that moment. Did you get one? Oh made. And I was like, you know what? This feels universal. So thanks, guys. You in that moment. Did you get one? Oh, yeah. Like I took it home from my work and I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:51 this guy's shitting in my pot plant. He's ruining my life. Enough about your ex-husband, though. Shit in my pot plant. But you guys made me feel so much better about getting a cat. So thank you so much. Welcome to the Crazy Cat Lady Club, darling. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Welcome, Lexi. You seem so impressionable. She's like, I'm getting a divorce car. I'm getting a a cat. So thank you so much. Welcome to the Crazy Cat Lady Club, darling. Yay, welcome. Welcome, Lexi. You seem so impressionable. She's like, I'm getting a divorce car. I'm getting a podcast cat. Absolutely. All right, well, Bradley, I'll count you in, and then you hit us with your Is It Just You, something you've noticed you hate or appreciate, okay?
Starting point is 00:25:17 Stunning. Let's go. Is it just me or? Did we all just kind of like forget about the Olympics? Yeah. Honestly, yes. Someone mentioned that it was happening, what, this week at the time this episode comes out? Is it?
Starting point is 00:25:34 And I was like, ha! Jenna, no, you're on that old radio station. Yeah. I'm not even certain we're allowed to mention it on the podcast. We're not actually. So, yeah, broadcast rules. Yeah, because a certain network pay for the media rights. Channel 9.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Channel 9 this year have the media rights to the sporting event. Yes. The games. Yes. What do we call it then? What should we call it, Lexi? We have to use code. Well, no, Jenna, you know and we know because.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yes, we normally refer to just the games. The games. The games. And you can't say, you can't refer to the athletes as the name of the event. No. Olympians. Correct. So you have to call them athletes or sports people.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Swimmers. Swimmers. Discuses. Yep. It's actually a head fuck on air if you don't have the media right. Yeah. Wow. But also, did you get this, Lexi?
Starting point is 00:26:21 Honest to God, I love the song, but I don't think it fits. The official song of the Paris Olympics is Espresso by Sabrina Cole. The Paris what, sorry? Oh, fuck. Oh, me. Add that to the swear jar. I don't imagine we're going to be talking about it that much. Channel 9 is going to sue us for millions.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I didn't even know it was in Paris. Is it in Paris? Yeah. Allegedly. I don't know. They're swimming in the river. In the river Seine? Seine River? Yeah. Allegedly. I don't know. They're swimming in the river. In the river Seine? Seine River?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah. That's so bougie. I didn't even know it was in Paris. It's espresso, but I saw it. Okay. Is it really? I didn't even know that. Yeah, she's the official commercial.
Starting point is 00:26:55 She's talking to a bird. Okay. That's it. It's actually terrible. Like, it's so dumb. She's sitting in Paris drinking espresso, and then she starts a conversation with a bird who talks back to her in bird. I feel like that's the only part
Starting point is 00:27:08 of this that actually makes sense. No, it's really stupid. She's like, oh, hi there, handsome. And it goes, yeah, I'm in Paris for the Olympics. I'm so excited to see the Australians versus the Olympians. It's hard, right? I hate it. It's like a game. It's like Operation. I keep buzzing out. And it's because Channel 9 have the Olympians. Oh, fuck! It's hard, right? I hate it. It's like a game.
Starting point is 00:27:25 It's like Operation. I keep buzzing out. And it's because Channel 9 have the broadcast rights. As you said, you know what we should do? We should make this our mission to save up enough that we buy the broadcast rights and then we just don't broadcast it. Don't put it out there. I want to actually see how much it costs.
Starting point is 00:27:42 We shut it down. That's funny. Or maybe we don't go for the athletic event. Yes. We buy something else. Could we potentially buy the media rights to the Ballarat? What's that race? The 2000.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Oh, the Bathurst 1000. The Bathurst 1000. Can we buy the Ballarat 2000? So I'm detecting that you don't particularly give a fuck either about the games, Lexi. Well, I completely forgot. I was watching The Origin last night, the only football I ever get into ever. And in the ad, yeah, NRL. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:28:16 So sporty. And in the ad, there was an ad for the Olympics. And I was like, what the fuck? When is the Olympics? You've just said it twice. And it was like, oh, fuck. We have to pay $100 fine per mention, Lexi. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Take it out of my toll account. Now we're bankrupt. Sorry, Gemma. But I was like, what the fuck? When does that start? And it said, like, starting in, like, next week. I was like, I just feel like, like, back in the day, we used to have, like, legends.
Starting point is 00:28:45 I know. And be honest, Lexi, surely you remember where you were when the bloody Sydney Olympics opening ceremony was. Oh, Nikki Webster. Come the fuck on. Kathy Freeman. Oh, mate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:59 She did. Ian Thorpe back when he was straight. Remember that? Right. And I, gun to my head, could not name an athlete now. A current athlete. Insane Bolt, I don't know. Shane War...
Starting point is 00:29:12 Oh no, he died in Bali. I don't think he did in the end. It's still too soon. Far too soon. Guess this. Australia's biggest media company, Nine Entertainment, we have to keep saving, paid $305 million for the exclusive rights to the next five Olympic Games, all the way through to the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in 2030. We're only a few T-shirt sales short, we'll be right.
Starting point is 00:29:36 And also, we only want the summer ones. We don't care about the winter. I've never once watched a Winter Olympics. Not once in my life. Well, maybe you've got a point, Lexi, because the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane were canned, weren't they? Were they? Yeah, they were.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Remember they just cancelled them? Something, but they were there and then they got them again and didn't want them. Oh, they withdrew their offer to host something. They were like, forget it, you can't come here. Because it wasn't the, I remember the 2020 Olympics was meant to be in Japan, or Gaylympics, sorry, it was meant to be in Japan because I was meant to be in Japan, well, Gaylympics, sorry, was meant to be in Japan because I was meant to go to Japan in 2020
Starting point is 00:30:07 and then, you know, something about a big flu happened. I feel like it just really killed the buzz because then it stopped the whole four years. It killed a lot of people, Lexi. I mean, it didn't kill the buzz. It was a bit worse than that. Well, actually, that was a really bad analogy. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah, I wouldn't have said that. Lexi, by the way, before we let you go, who even won the Origin? I didn't watch, okay. Sky, the Blues. Oh, so we've won overall. Yeah, it was the decider match. It was a really good game and it will be the only football I will watch for the next
Starting point is 00:30:37 12 months. So I will act like I can be a part of straight men conversations for the next week and it will feel terrible. Really, all you going to have to do it this, Mitch. Up the blues. I know. I'm an NRL boy. My dad played for the NRL.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It's in my blood. Well, you didn't do it with me. Up the blues. Ready? Three, two, one. Up the blues. Up the blues. We did it, boys.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Can Jenna just do it on her own? I'll be pointing at you, Jenna. Okay. Up the blues. Oh, my God. Phenomenal. Thank you so much. The one straight listener we had. I likeomenal. Thank you so much. The one straight listener we had.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I like Lexi. Thank you, Lexi. If you want to get in touch as well and have an Is It Just You of your own on the show, you can send us a text on this number. 042-294-8202 042-294-8202 Send us a text, please. Or message us at couple of midges. And by the way, Lexi, make sure Prizekeeper Jenna sends you your gorgeous tote bag.
Starting point is 00:31:36 It's a thank you for coming on. Oh, lovely. Thanks, guys. Have a gorgeous day. It's a lot. I like you, Lexi. I love you too, Jenna. Thanks for the divorce car, babe.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Bye, darling. See you, Han. She was sweet. I liked her. I liked her. Some of them I hate, to be honest. Really? Oh, some of them I'm like, what a waste of time.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Oh, no, you wonder why some people pull out last minute and say, I'm too nervous to come on because people like you say, I hate them. People like me, it's my podcast. I hate them. You shouldn't say you hate them. I like them all. No, I hate them. People like me, it's my podcast. I hate them. You shouldn't say you hate them. I like them all. No, I like them all. How convincing.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Should we call it the Holympics? That can be our code word. Or is that far too close? No, but it's still got it in that word. What if we just say Olympics and we say, no, no, we swap the vowel. It's an E, Olympics. Oh, I don't think that'll stand up in a court of law. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:23 305 million, like nine aren't fucking around. I'll show them the transcription from the episode. I clearly said think that'll stand up in a court of law. Yeah. $305 million. Nine aren't fucking around. I'll show them the transcription from the episode. I clearly said Olympics, like election. But E-L-L-E. Yeah. Olympics. With a hyphen. What about if your name was L-lympics?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Well, you're fucked. You're absolutely doomed. You actually can't speak for the next four weeks. See you in court, Olympics. L-lympics is a great drag name. Olympics. Olympics. All right, let's go.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Thank you for listening. Please leave us five stars. I've been noticing that there's been a bulk influx of reviews, which is very sweet. Has there? Yeah. Should we read one out quickly? Yeah, you better. Why not?
Starting point is 00:32:57 I don't actually keep an eye on them. Thank God you do. I read them all the time. Here we go. M.C. K. Kiko says, I'm sorry I'm late, but I'm hooked. I often see TikTok highlights, but laugh and laugh, but I've never committed to the time. Here we go. MC Kikiko says, I'm sorry I'm late, but I'm hooked. I often see TikTok highlights, but laugh and laugh.
Starting point is 00:33:08 But I've never committed to the show. The last few days I've needed a laugh. So I started going back and listening to previous eps. This morning I was cruising home at the gym, put on episode 85. I honestly had to pull over from ugly crying. What was episode 85? Let me look. Just writing this to make my jaw go all weird like it wants to start laughing again.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Thinking about it. Well, that's a condition I don't know. She had a pinger for sure. Honestly, I've not laughed so hard in over six months, I'd say. You guys are absolutely the right amount of funny and inappropriate, and I'm living for it. Thank you for turning my frown upside down, Quartz. Oh, you're welcome, darling. Quartz, was it? Yeah, Quartz.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Thank you, Quartz. You'll hate this, Jenna. Episode 85 was Top Dog with Nat Penfold. Yikes. She said 85, didn't she? Yeah, she did. Nat Penfold's due for another visit on the show. I bumped into her at the mid-year party for our work
Starting point is 00:33:51 and I opened the stall door in the toilets and she was there. The first thing she said was, wow, that's a stench. And I said, who do you think you are? She's like, when am I on the podcast again? And I said, never. Are we having this? She's like, when am I on the podcast again? And I said, never. Are we having this conversation now? Mid-plop? Really?
Starting point is 00:34:09 Was she sitting making eye contact with you? Yes. Why didn't she look the door of the pig? Because she is a pig. She is, but that's kind of a charm. I love Nat Panfold. Nat Panfold just works here at the iHeartRadio conglomerate building at Pepsi Palace, so we'll have to get her back on.
Starting point is 00:34:22 She's broken her leg, so she can't get too far. And she's broken her relationship. She's single now. Oh, good. Broken heart and broken leg. She's broken her leg, so she can't get too far. And she's broken her relationship. She's single now. Oh, good. Broken heart and broken leg. That's right. They often go hand in hand. They do.
Starting point is 00:34:29 All right, guys, we're done. We will see you all in a couple of days. Catch you on Wednesday, idiots. Bye-bye. See ya. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end. Yeah. Yeah. We just pretend the show's done, but it's not. We keep talking shit here. Correct. That was Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:35:09 That crossword we did earlier in the show. Fantastic. That was so much fun. Ow, I'm not kidding. We should actually make an app. But we should call... Oh, mate, do you know how hard it was for me to do that? Like, my brain power was gone. I was spent after doing one crossword,
Starting point is 00:35:22 and one of the columns isn't even a word. Yeah, I-L-A-T-D. Elated. Elated. What are the letters that I've got in this nonsensical column? I-L-A-T-D. Elated. Also, no one says, can we take the autos out for bins?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Well, it fit with the word. Oh, my God, I missed one. What? Oh. Dez-O-N-In. No, I missed the last. Four down. Four down.
Starting point is 00:35:44 It just built itself, didn't it? Don't tell us. You've already done it. Oh, I missed the last. Four Down. Four Down. It just built itself, didn't it? Don't tell us. You've already done it. Oh, Ruse. Yeah, Ruse. The clue for that was going to be if you're driving at this time of night, watch out for Ruse. It's funny because when that happens when you're playing the app,
Starting point is 00:35:55 it's so good. You don't even have to do a word because you've done the others. It just builds it itself. That's such a nice feeling. Well, that's how far I got coming up with the words. And then I saw Two Down and went, oh, fuck, that's not a nice feeling. Well, that's how far I got coming up with the words. And then I saw two down and went, oh, fuck! That's not a word! It's really hard! Fuck, I pay for the subscription on New York
Starting point is 00:36:10 Times. So do I now. Oh, do you pay? I was like, ah, it's cheap. I'll get the yearly one. So did I! But now I hate it. I'm deleting it. I do the daily. Look how big it is. Oh, fuck that. I can't even do the mini. What's the Indy? Indy 500 directive. Drive? Indy 500 is a race?
Starting point is 00:36:26 Drive? But let's go to a random one. Ready? Like a random long one. Do we have to? No, just to say how hard it is. Okay, yeah. New Jersey borough known for its shopping malls.
Starting point is 00:36:33 How the fuck? That's right. Would I know that? No, we wouldn't. Jersey. We wouldn't. Neon sign outside a motel. Outside a hotel.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Would it be like the- Vacancy. No vacancy? No, it's full letters. You know what I mean? It's tough. Full. Oh, God. Full. No, I hate this. Turn a hotel. Would it be like no vacancy? No, it's four letters. You know what I mean? It's tough. Oh, God. Four.
Starting point is 00:36:47 No, I hate this. Turn it off. I'm not going to finish it. It's good for the brain. It is good for the brain. It is good for the brain. Really? Because I found it infuriating.
Starting point is 00:36:55 You know, speaking of America, I don't know why. I think it was because I was in the States for the debate, which was obviously so bad for Joe Biden. I mean, I hate when Australians talk about American politics because it's weird. But I am hooked on this current election shit. Oh, God. I love it.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Would you want to come over so Sean has someone to talk to about it? Oh, my God. Sean would love it. Oh, my. I forgot. Sean is in politics. No, he's almost unhelpfully obsessed. Is he enjoying it?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Well, no, he's not. He's getting so stressed about it to the point where I'm like, maybe we should turn the telly off. I think that's enough news for one day. I'm going to message him right now. What did he think of the shooting? Oh, that was a whole kerfuffle in our house. He went through every range of emotion possible.
Starting point is 00:37:37 It was stressful. What did you just message my boyfriend? I sent him a podcast. Huh? I sent him a podcast that I listened to. I want to know if he listened to it. Did you give any context? No.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Because I wanted to be present in the moment. He said that this is his a podcast. Huh? I sent him a podcast that I listen to. I want to know if he listens to it. Did you give any context? No. Because I wanted to be present in the moment. He said that this is his favourite podcast. I don't even know if he listens to others. He listens to this podcast? Yeah. That is actually so sweet. Yeah. It's a watch your mouth.
Starting point is 00:37:55 No, so does Stephen. It's nice to have a partner that actually is sort of aware. That's nice. How are you generally in the partner realm? Anyone floating around for you? No, not at the moment. Not if she was just like, I'm married. I've been married for five years.
Starting point is 00:38:08 You met Bruce last summer. I talk about him all the time, bro. I was getting a divorce. Sorry. Oh, yeah, the divorce car. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:15 What did I buy in my breakup? Have you ever bought anything that's like impulse buy? I don't need to be going through a breakup to do that. No, but I mean, I did. When I went through the big breakup, I was like, fuck, I bought myself a new body. Oh, I didn't buy anything. I went on a winter Euro trip. That was an expensive trip.
Starting point is 00:38:31 But that was so 100% breakup-fueled. You went to that sex club. Yes, I did. Who said the sex club? What's it called again? Berghain. Berghain. Yeah, that one.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Berghain. Yeah, I got into Berghain. I saw a TikTok recently of these three Aussies that were in Berlin, and they're like, come with us as we try to get into the most elusive club ever. Here we go. Rumour is you've got to wear all black, so we're at Vinny's in Berlin, and they do this whole fucking TikTok, and they don't get let in. Oh, poor buggers.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I know. You're just gloating now that you did get in. I did get in. Yeah. I did. Were they going to the same club? I don't remember anything about all black. Same club.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah, you've got to wear all black. What? I did mention that, I think. I don't reckon you did. Maybe you did, but I don't remember. Yeah. I did. Were they going to the same club? I don't remember anything about all black. Same club. Yeah, you've got to wear all black. What? I did mention that, I think. I reckon you did. Maybe you did, but I don't remember that detail. Why? That's a bit funereal, I feel. Is that four down?
Starting point is 00:39:14 It is. Yeah, you've got to wear all black. It's got its roots in sex bondage club, like 30 years ago. And that's a black clothing event? Well, leather bondage, black leather. I suppose. So they kind of want to keep it in that theme of black. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:26 You're not going to get in a Roxy tank top. That was my plan. A rash shirt. Looking at you, Jenna. Oh, for God's sake. One more fucking time. Oh, Jenna, I need to tell you something, by the way. What?
Starting point is 00:39:36 What? Apparently, as one of our idiots pointed out to me, I've been quite the hypocrite, which is natural. We talk a lot of shit over a lot of years on this podcast. I'm bound to contradict myself at some stage. But I got a cat cam and I get the fuss. Yes. Apparently some idiot reminded me that at the time when you got your first cat cam,
Starting point is 00:39:57 we were sitting here going, get a life. How tragic. Did we? You did. And I'm like, I'm not even going to contest that. That does sound exactly what we'd say. Poor Jenna could get a stent put in for life-saving heart surgery and we'd be like, you fucking cow.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Of course you did. Grow up. Yeah, exactly. Look, I don't think she's – oh, she's in her hammock over here. Isabella. Oh, my God. Mitch, press the microphone button. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:19 And then – And say a message to her. Yeah, and just say, Isabella, and see how she reacts. Okay. I remember my team used to take my phone and bark. That's so cruel. That's disgusting. Don't do anything that'll make her uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Only comforting things. Oh, I was going to cough into the microphone. Don't, you did. Just say Isabella. All the animal abuse accusations. All right. Isabella. Hi, Isabella.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Good girl. Mute it. She looked up. Is it muted? Yeah, it's muted. Oh, she's so sweet. Look at her. She looked up.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Did she look pleased to hear from you? She looked terrified. Yeah, no, she's never been hugely fond of you. She talks about it all the time. No, no. Her eyes, I can see her blinking. Oh, that's really funny. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:41:03 So it's a ring camera. Yeah. That's really cute. It's not necessarily a pet cam, but that's what I'm. Oh, my God. So it's a ring camera. Yeah. That's really cute. It's not necessarily a pet cam, but that's what I'm using it for. They're so fun. The ring cameras. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:10 So now you've got one in your house. Does it record at all times? Only if motion's detected. And I fucking work from home. I'm there all the time. If you go through my history of motion detected, it's just me pottering around the house. Nothing interesting happened. How much was it?
Starting point is 00:41:22 Oh, it was like a hundred bucks or something. But like, I got it real cheap on Amazon. Prime day. Yeah, it was on special. Oh, my God. But, yeah, I am having a lot of fun with it. The other day I was weirdly trusting. It's like I have no fucking stranger danger in me because a tradie came over
Starting point is 00:41:39 to fix my fucking exhaust fan. It wasn't working. Tell them they caught it. It was an exhausted fan. Yeah. And I had to go to Pilates and I was like, mate, I've got to get out of here. How long will you be?
Starting point is 00:41:50 And he's like, oh, probably another half hour or so. I said, oh, that's all right. And then he goes, I might have to pop down to my ute. And I said, oh, I'll just leave the door unlocked. That's fine. So I left a stranger in my house with no lock. And I'm like, he could have easily picked up the phone, called his trademates and been like, guys,
Starting point is 00:42:04 I've got to fuck out here. Bring the ute. We're stealing his shit. We're loading it up. But did you have the ring camera at that point? Yes. And I didn't get anything interesting. I was hoping to get some sort of viral TikTok out of it.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I'm going to send this to a current affair. I caught a tradie flogging my shit. But no, all I saw him do was just whistling. Oh my God. That's so sweet. That's cute. He was fine. He was fine. He was trustworthy.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I had a message in my DM to someone who wanted to come on for me. Is it just you? And we couldn't fit him in. But they said, is it just me or do you find all tradies ridiculously hot? And I think there is something to it. There is a sex appeal about the tradies. The ones that I've had, nah. They're old and-
Starting point is 00:42:41 So are you. No, like significantly old, like 70. Oh, really? Yeah. I feel like I would trust them with my life. No, not- They know what they're doing. So are you No like significantly Or like 70 Oh really Yeah I feel like I would trust them with my life No They know what they're doing
Starting point is 00:42:49 They've had to keep up With emerging technology No I don't like When they walk into my place With their dirty boots on They're there to fix it Vacuum Take off your boots
Starting point is 00:42:57 Don't you have hardwood floors Yeah but I don't want them dirty What sort of tradies Do you have coming over If it's an electrician What business do they have Walking in mud No the plumber came in Oh fuck Oh plumbers are a different story Yeah I don't want them dirty. What sort of tradies do you have coming over? If it's an electrician, what business do they have walking in mud? No, the plumber came in.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Oh, fuck. Plumbers are a different story. Yeah, I don't like. I clogged a toilet in the US in the Airbnb we were in. What did you do? Well, there was a sign on the Airbnb. Let me show it to you, which I think actually is illegal. They didn't tell us.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Have you guys ever been? You've been to the Greek islands, right, Mitchell? No. Do I even know you? Well, Jenny, you've been to Mykonos, right, Mitchell? No. Do I even know you? Well, Jenny, you've been to Mykonos. Have you not? No. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Well, in the Greek islands, you're not allowed to flush used soiled toilet paper down the toilet. Oh, yeah. What the fuck do you do with the used one then? You put it in a waste bin. Oh, that's disgusting. But that's fine. That's what happens in Mykonos because the plumbing is the oldest in the world. In other European places as well.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Yeah. Well, you guys both burn in Europe. This was the sign handwritten on the toilet in my bathroom in my Airbnb in LA, first world country. Read it out loud. There's something about a handwritten sign that makes you think it was so urgent. Yes. They couldn't even print it. Like, quick.
Starting point is 00:43:58 For some reason, I just imagine this being at that Colorado ranch thing. Oh, yeah. Please do not flush toilet paper down the toilet. Please put it in the bins provided. That's fucked. Imagine wiping your dirty ass and then just folding it in a toilet, in a bin, and the bins were open. They didn't have that flappy lid.
Starting point is 00:44:14 It would just sit there and fester. You may as well use a kitty litter. Yeah, that's right. And then just scoop it up and chuck it out. So I did shit in the toilet and I did wipe my butt and I did flush it. Anyway, it got clogged. And it did clog. It did clog.
Starting point is 00:44:23 So we had to drive to a, what was the hardware store called? It was something American store. And I had to plunge the toilet and I fixed it. Oh, that's all. It took a plunge. Yeah, a little plunge. You took a plunge. But I felt so manly plunging the toilet.
Starting point is 00:44:35 It felt like a plumb. Oh, this is hot. You're like, this is easy. I did actually. But having a look at all the, it was awful, the stuff that came out. Yeah, I know. Isn't that so humbling?
Starting point is 00:44:45 That came out of me. Wow. No, but also some of it wouldn't, the stuff that came out. Yeah, I know. Isn't that so humbling? That came out of me. Wow. Also, some of it wouldn't have been yours. I know. I know. Stop. It's disgusting. Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
Starting point is 00:44:55 That's all. Just 2%. Thank you. So we do. Sorry, I missed the cue. How dare you. One more time. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:45:03 So we do. Much better. So we do. Much better. So we do. Don't we need to up that? I feel like with inflation, you know, we probably need to up the percentage. I feel like everyone's a little depressed. No, we do it with the amount of years we've been active. So, like, it used to be 2%.
Starting point is 00:45:16 We had our three-year anniversary. We upped it to three. But we've had our five-year anniversary. Oh, no. We haven't had the five-year anniversary yet. We have. That's not till October. Oh, but then why aren't we at four percent better?
Starting point is 00:45:26 We are, but because we do two episodes a week, we've split them. You were there for this conversation. I think you're the one who... Remember, we started doing two episodes a week as of the anniversary. Really? When we turned four. And this is just me? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:45:37 And this is not Trash Alley? No. Am I all right, Faye? Wouldn't recognise them in the street. They look fantastic. Yeah. I thought we were going. I mean, sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Yes, he looks fucking stunning. He looks so good. Always has. Sorry I'm at an event. No, of course. But, you know, at the moment, like, oh, my God, jawline snatched. That's all right, Faye, if you want to Google them. When you need to wrap up the phone call with your friend Faye,
Starting point is 00:46:00 but she's waffling. All right, Faye. Yeah, yeah. All right, Faye. I'll yeah. All right, Faye. I'll let you go. I better get going. When you're at the RTA and Faye is next in line and you're finishing off one customer but you've got to move on.
Starting point is 00:46:13 All right. Faye. God. Terrible. This is so dumb. When she's pestering you. All right, Faye. Yeah.
