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. I want an enemy. Oh, there's heaps of people that hate you. Who would hate me?

Starting point is 00:00:48 Thank you. Also, Mitch. Are you going to explain what's just happened? Thank you, Mel. Mel's from iHeartRadio. She's brought the flowers in that I've organised. However, she was waiting in that room for 10 minutes because she wouldn't shut up.
Starting point is 00:00:59 When you say wouldn't shut up, you mean getting our studio ready? Yes. Yeah. No, the only thing is I'm like, Mel, we're ready to go. Hold the flowers and I'll text you when to come in. And then Mitch is like, should I put a hair tie in? I'm like, just sit down. No, no.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Both of us are just sitting here and Mitchell's doing everything. Yeah. Me and Mel are flat chat and you're doing fuck all to hell. Happy birthday. Thank you. Yay. You know what's sweet? I see what you've done because this is a Wednesday episode.
Starting point is 00:01:27 My birthday's tomorrow. Yes. The 25th of July. But we're recording Monday's episode on my actual birthday. Yeah. So I'm going to milk the shit out of this. Yeah. But here's my thinking was let's do it today so then people remember.
Starting point is 00:01:41 That's true because you would have gotten messages being like, you forgot again. Oh, no. You forgot again. Well, I've blocked all mentions. You know you can block certain words in DMs. I've blocked forgot, Mitchell and birthday. These are lovely. They've got a gorgeous smell to them. Yes, aren't they nice? And I'll have you know
Starting point is 00:01:54 They look ecsy. It didn't even put it on the kiddie eye. I know, because I haven't given you the new card details yet. I keep forgetting. Trust and believe I went to. And then I'm like, fuck, give me the $120 bouquet. Oh, fuck, it wasn't working. So this is from my direct pocket. What do I do?
Starting point is 00:02:08 Is there a chair I could put these on? I don't know. I just hold them like this the whole time. They're fucking heavy. These are hefty-ass flowers. There's a chair here. It's got my bag on it. These are so nice.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Thank you. Do you want to, Mitchell, read out the name? There's a sticker on there because we paid for it. It's not free, but they are a fan of the podcast. Are they? Yeah. Cronulla floris. Oh, these travelled over the bridge for me. That's not free, but they are a fan of the podcast. Are they? Yeah. Cronulla floris. Oh, these travelled over the bridge for me.
Starting point is 00:02:27 That's nice. Two bridges, yeah. Oh, yeah, shit. Oh, that's gorgeous. They are very well done. They smell beautiful. Pass them over the table and I'll put them on the chair. How do you know?
Starting point is 00:02:35 No, I want to put them next to me. They're my flowers. Fuck you. It's my birthday, apparently. Oh, shit. Sorry. I'm putting them in the background so everyone sees them. Yeah, they're nice.

It's got wattle in there as well, some yellow wattle. Don't all jump up to help me at once. Oh, I'm going to. Oh, the pollen in the air. Oh, that's lovely.
Starting point is 00:02:55 That's nice seeing you. I'm going to need my asthma puffer. Look at that. That's nice. That looks really beautiful. I'm going to put that in the background of our video. Yeah. Oh, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:03:03 That's beautiful. Happy birthday. Thank you. Well, we don't make fusses. I mean, there was, you know, that year that we had fucking Camilla Parker bowls on and all those guys. And now we're like, just flowers and a nice, lovely message will do. I'm waiting for the lovely message.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Well, do you know that? I got the flowers. Oh, but I was expecting it next. I have something planned. It's fine. We can do both. Oh, yeah. Can we?
Starting point is 00:03:24 We're sure. This is the day before my birthday, but when we record on my actual birthday. Anyway, happy birthday, Mitchell. Thanks. 28 now. This is that awkward time of the year when for the next six months we're the same age. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Isn't it only a couple of months? Yeah. You're 29 sooner than you think, dog. End of September. On the 30th of September. Thank you, Jenna. Yes. When's my birthday?
Starting point is 00:03:41 I thought it was at two months. What's that? Two months away. Yeah, two and a bit, yeah. When's my birthday? I thought that two months. What's that? Two months away. Yeah, two and a bit, yeah. What's my birthday? Well, if it's the first time listening, welcome. Don't be daft, Jenna. You're June.
Starting point is 00:03:52 June what? It's always earlier than I think. Yeah. Well, it's definitely after the 12th. No. Well, it's the 9th. Oh. It's either the 4th or the 8th.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Well, 30 days have September. Which one are you choosing? 8th. 8th. It's the 4th or the 8th Well 30 days have September Which one are you choosing? 8th It's the 4th Fuck That's hard Well I know September 30th and July 23rd And how do you know that?
Starting point is 00:04:14 Because I just remember my good friend's birthday That's nice So even I forgot that it was my birthday this year Because fucking misfit executive producer contraceptive diaphragm Sam Messaged me and said, doing anything for your birthday next week? And I said, huh? My birthday's next week?
Starting point is 00:04:30 I forgot. I completely forgot. Yeah, we used to be young and fun and we'd plan our birthdays. You were never young and fun. You were. It was boring as bat shit in your early 20s. There was that one week that I really felt really young and fun. There was that one week.
Starting point is 00:04:44 There was, but I just don't want to even celebrate mine coming up in two months. I just don't want to do it. Is it because it's 29? Yes, we're getting old. Are you going to go all out for your 30th? Yeah, I've already got the theme and everything. Really?
Starting point is 00:04:58 Fuck, I haven't even thought about that because I just, I can't be fucked organizing something. It takes the fun out of it if I have to organize it. I'll be stressed on the day. Yeah, you will. Making sure everything is just so. I know. Why don't you hire event planners or something? What do you think, a maid of money?
Starting point is 00:05:11 No, put on the business. Oh, okay, swing. Say no more. Everything's a tax write-off if we talk about it on the podcast. Wouldn't we have to invite listeners to make it a tax write-off? Oh my God, why don't we do that? You can win a ticket to my 30th. It's very radio, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:05:25 You can pay your own way. Tickets for two. So Mitchell Coombs' 30th. Would you do it in Bougain Gate? Probably. I wouldn't really expect a lot of people to travel all the way to Bougain Gate for that. But I would like to. I just don't think that's realistic, is it?
Starting point is 00:05:39 I'd finally make the journey to Bougain Gate for your 30th. Frankly, you're not welcome anymore. You've stood us up so many times. Your mother would welcome me with open arms. Are you and Sean going to do dinner or something? Like, sure, you'll do something nice. Genuinely haven't thought about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 All right. Well, you had barley, so, you know. Did you see that we got cancelled for that? Was that a big deal? Oh, it wasn't a huge deal. But if you listen to last week's episode from monday was it um 217 daddy's a home our first episode back from holidays the very start of that episode we were talking about barley and we gave our thoughts and then we posted it on tiktok and people were like
Starting point is 00:06:15 you're so privileged and entitled blah blah blah well to be honest i actually think the tiktok you've got to get so much yinning like a short period of time. I know. That was on me. I had to cut a lot of the context. The nuance, yeah. The compliment sandwiches. Yeah. I thought it was obvious the joke was that I'm an idiot and I went in blind. Yeah. Because I was like, I wish someone had warned me what it's like there because I thought
Starting point is 00:06:36 I was going to Coffs Harbour. Yeah. And then everyone was like, how dare you belittle a third world country? You were so entitled and privileged. And I was like, mate, I fucking thrive in rancid environments. I just wanted a heads up, that's all. Yeah, I think it was more so you were pissed off at me for not giving you a heads up.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yes, I just think that got lost and so, yes. Yeah, I think it is worth noting that, yes, I mean, there is a lot of privilege for us to sit here in a first world country seemingly laughing at a third world. We're not doing that. It was when I watched the video back after the comments were coming through that I was like, yeah, okay, maybe they've got a point. Me too.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Maybe we should delete it. And did you delete it? No, I didn't. I wanted to get permission from you. I made an executive decision. I was like, oh, we may as well. Oh, good. I left it up for a bit, though.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It got some good traction. Yeah, it did quite well. I mean, listen, apologies. But, I mean, you know what? The reason it is so disgusting is because fucking Aussies go there and treat it like it's a dumpster. Yeah, that's true. But apparently, I looked into it.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Apparently, Indonesian government just don't really want anything to do with it. They're just like, ah, well, that's the tourist fault. We're not going to do anything about it. The Indonesian government. It's still your responsibility. Yeah, so corrupt. Anyway, I'm not going there. No, let's not go there.
Starting point is 00:07:38 I'm not going there. Let's not go there. Now I want to go and see for myself. Yeah. You know what I want to talk about? India. Go on. Just a joke. Please. I don't want to. I've for myself. Yeah. You know what I want to talk about? India. Go on. Just a joke.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Please. I don't want to. I've never been. Oh, my friend just went, actually. Oh, really? Really enjoyed it. When? Very hot.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Last week. When did I ask? It's very hot. I'm out. Oh, God, yeah. Sorry. Las Vegas was 44 degrees last month, and it was just- I didn't know that was possible.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Neither did I. We were going to drive through Death Valley. We thought, that sounds fun. Bit of fun. 53 did I. We were going to drive through Death Valley. We thought, that sounds fun. Bit of fun. 53 degrees. The hottest temperature recorded on earth in Death Valley. What the fuck? 53?
Starting point is 00:08:11 No, the hottest temperature is like 59, but on the day we were there, 53. That's- What? Yeah. That would have been unbearable. Why would you do that? Yeah. We didn't end up going because we didn't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, fair enough. Hell fire. If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every show we start the same way. We get a third world country and we rip it to pieces. And we gloat about how much better off we are. Correct. I mean, I've got air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You know, why go to Bali? It's just a joke. We start the show with something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate, the Is It Just Me's. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. It's quite straightforward. And we bring it to the table. We go from there. Mine might be triggering. Or doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. It's quite straightforward. And we bring it to the table.
Starting point is 00:08:45 We go from there. Mine might be triggering. Or not. Depends. That's a weird way to describe it. Such a flirt. I find it a bit triggering. We might have sex. Maybe not. I don't know if I'm feeling like it. Mine is dumb and happened to me driving in this morning and I thought I'm going to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Alright, off you go. You can hear me now. Is it just me or? Is it so much easier? That was absolutely your cue to say, no, it's your birthday. You go first. But go on. Stop. No, I insist.
Starting point is 00:09:15 You can do it. No, you're fine. No, if you want to. I've got my flowers. I'll go fuck myself. Well, I'm older, okay? So age before beauty. Have some respect.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Not right now. We're the same age, bucko. No, we're not. We're like Trump and Biden. You know how everyone's like, well, they're the same before beauty. Have some respect. Not right now. We're the same age, bucko. No, we're not. Trump and Biden. You know how everyone's like, they're the same age. Biden's so old. No, they're not. Trump's 77. Alright. Sorry. I also don't want to go there. Take two, Bradley.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Oh my god. Alright, go Brad. Is it just me or Is it so much easier to remember a security code that's sent to your phone if it sounds nice? What do you mean? Like when you have to send money and it's a big amount of money or you're logging into a website and it's two-factor authentication.
Starting point is 00:09:55 They text you the six digits. Yeah, and if the six digits is 24424, oh, heaven, I want to look at that thing. Pops up, 24424. Easy. Go straight, 24424. Can't you just do the paste thing? No, I swear they want to look at that thing. Pops up, 24424. Easy. Goes straight 24424. Can't you just do the paste thing? No, I swear they've gotten rid of that.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't work. If you're on your Mac, no. You know how it says from messages? You've got the six boxes to fill in your bloody six digits. You get the text on the iPhone and it'll just say from messages, bang, puts it in for you. Yes. But I swear that's stopped.
Starting point is 00:10:23 That was the best invention known to mankind. I haven't noticed that. I mean. Well, then why do you read the codes anyway? I don't know. I think because sometimes when it's not like on Apple software, like it's on a third party. Or like on your own laptop or something. Yeah, I get that.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah. But like, for example, right, 24424. Beautiful. I can look at that once and I can probably remember that for five minutes. Yeah. But when you get, it actually makes me sick. So ugly. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:49 3974264. I need a break. No, what you have to do is say, I say it out loud. I go 397264. And then I go 397264. You have to make it a rhythm. Oh, you're so right. 397264. You're typing out ABNs and shit that go for years, that's hard.
Starting point is 00:11:07 To make any sort of pattern out of that. Although I can remember, I know my driver's license number off by heart. I was just about to say it. That's very dumb. I know my passport number off by heart. I know your address. Because, yeah, they're so easy. They roll off the tongue.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I've created rhythms in my head. Is it just me on the fly? Yeah. Is it impossible to memorize people's phone numbers these days? Back in the day, I can tell you my mother's phone number right now off the top of my head. Is it just me on the fly? Yeah. Is it like impossible to memorise people's phone numbers these days? Oh, yeah. Back in the day, I can tell you my mother's phone number right now off the top of my head. My father's, even probably my siblings. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And our home phone, all of them. Yeah. But Sean's number, I've been with him for two years. Really? I could try, but I reckon I'd get it wrong. I also think we've gone past the days of really needing to. I mean, when are you going to need to? There's no phone booths.
Starting point is 00:11:42 You're not going to grab someone's phone and go, can I call my partner? You don't need to know or memorize a phone number. But isn't that weird? I feel like that's how someone becomes important to you when you know the number off by heart. But that's just gotten lost in this day and age. I still remember my best friend from high school, Jack Fuller's number. Because he had, get these, 30,000 in the middle of it. It was like 04 something, 300000. You never get that anymore. I might actually, I'm not not looking But can you go to my contacts Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:05 I might actually quiz myself And see if I know Sean's number Because like you said It needs a rhythm Yeah And so I reckon Because I've been filling out Paperwork and shit
Starting point is 00:12:15 Before he moves in with me It's been absolutely tedious Yeah I've written his number down A few times Emergency contacts and what not I might have gotten there Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:21 I reckon he wouldn't even be close To knowing my number Alright I've got it in front of me Okay I'm going to beep it out, obviously. You ready? He's in politics. You don't want to get him shot. Is his number?
Starting point is 00:12:31 040- Yes. You did it. Oh, my God. Oh, that's incredible. Oh, my God, you know his number. Doesn't it have a nice rhythm to it, though? It does have a really nice rhythm to it.
Starting point is 00:12:40 They're good numbers. They are. They're good numbers. You know, in America, if you don't make a phone call on your phone number in like, it's like an eight, nine month period, they give your number to someone else. It's crazy. That's why whenever I get a SIM card in America, I always get random calls from, oh, is this blah, blah, blah?
Starting point is 00:12:57 Yeah. What? No. Because they just recycle the phone numbers. I didn't know that. They've got hundreds of millions of people. Yeah. It's wild.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I saw one story about someone who would like text their dad's old number after he passed away. And one day someone applied and said, oh, sorry for your loss, but I'm not your dad. Because his number would have been given to someone after he passed on. Isn't that so? Oh, that's really quite sad. That's really sad. Way to bring it down. In that situation, you could ask the person with the new number to block your number so
Starting point is 00:13:25 you can keep texting them and they never get it. Yeah. If it's comforting. God, I'm just here to solve everyone's problems, aren't I? You really are. Shit, you turn 28 and the wisdom just flows. Finally. Finally.
Starting point is 00:13:35 All right. Let's do your region. Oh, right. That was yours, wasn't it? That was mine, yeah. Oh, my God. I really just took charge, didn't I? The aging.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, I know. You kind of hijacked it. It had a lot more action. Sorry about that. That's fine. I wanted to open it up. Don't go on. What other rhythms do you like in numbers?
Starting point is 00:13:47 Oh, wow. Definitely got my favorite rhythms. Yes. But it's got nothing to do with numbers. Well, it does. 6'9". Well. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:13:56 That's disgusting. Actually, I don't like 6'9". It's very hard. Jen, I like that. Oh, well, should I do my age in there? Mind your own business. Have you forgotten how this show works? Do you have anything else left to say for yourself?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Is it just me on the fly or do you wish you could eat an apple like horses get to? Yeah. I mean, what's stopping you? I mean, you'd need a pretty small apple and a pretty big mouth. That can be arranged. They just look like they're having so much fun when horses eat apples. I remember in my saddle club game when I was little, watching the horses eat the- What sort of game?
Starting point is 00:14:26 PC? Yeah, PC. DS? And it took two hours to load. Wow. And I would just watch, my character would just feed the horses apples, and I'd just watch that for hours. There's got to be some sort of ASMR channel, just horses eating apples.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Google it. There's also something so charming about you putting it in the palm of your hand and bending your hand, arching it backwards, and then the horse, its lips just biting it. There's also something so charming about you putting it in the palm of your hand and bending your hand, arching it backwards, and then the horse, its lips just biting it. And the wrist to your hand being bitten off. It's the thrill, isn't it? And I love the way that you can see the foamy apple juices. What the fuck was that? It's the horse's.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Here we go. That is so putrid, that sound. I'm into that. Shut up, birds. We're trying to listen to the apple. Without a visual, this actually can be... I know. It sounds like something else.
Starting point is 00:15:15 What does it sound like, mate? Happy birthday. Hold on. I'm going to the hump in this video. It's a compilation. People are like, that's a good crunch. This is the most replayed one. Fuck me up.
Starting point is 00:15:30 It's exactly what I'm talking about. No wonder people are rewinding to that. God, I want that to happen to me. I want someone to just chew me up like an apple. Don't you reckon that would just readjust your whole back? And the slop are going everywhere. Not that part. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:40 All right, shall we? Horses have good teeth. Yeah. Do you have an engine, Jenna? I mean, we're all throwing one in here. Jesus Christ. I haven't yet. No. Horses have good teeth. Do you have an idgum, Jenna? I mean, we're all throwing one in here. Jesus Christ. I haven't yet. No, Mitchell, it's your birthday.
Starting point is 00:15:49 We have respect for you when you're ready. All right, let's go. Go. Is it just me? Do certain artists remind you of certain people? Like you associate them? Oh, yeah. That singer reminds me of that person.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Interesting. Songs especially remind me of moments in my life, but there are some artists that I have strong connection with people, yeah. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like surely there'd be someone out there that when they think Katy Perry, they think Mitchell Coombs. 100%. I think Miley Cyrus.
Starting point is 00:16:20 I think Mitchell Coombs. True. I've claimed a few girls, haven't I? Yeah, I go to church and I think hymns. I think Mitchell Coombs. True. I've claimed a few girls, haven't I? Yeah, I go to church and I think hymns. I think Jenna Benson. Yeah. Right? I don't know if there's one that I associate with you.
Starting point is 00:16:31 I'm not really a music. Oh, there is. I know. Who? You know. Think. One of our friends, Nick, also loves her. Ava Max.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Oh, are you trying to claim Ava Max? I do. Well, yeah. You've said before you hear it and you think of me. No, I think of Nick. Yeah. Sorry. I also love Ava Max.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah, nah. It still conjures up Nick in my brain when you mention Ava Max. Shout out, Nick. But I love Ava Max. But no, I'm not really like, I don't have attachments to musicians, so I'm not offended that you don't think of anyone. Jenna, do you think of anyone? For you?
Starting point is 00:16:56 When I think Jenna, I think Haim. Yeah. Oh, yeah, same. Yeah. Yeah, I'm glad. I was hoping you'd say that. What about Fat Elvis when you think of me? Just purely from a visual standpoint. When I think of Lady Gaga, I think of Mitchell Coombs. Oh, yeah, same. I was hoping you'd say that. What about fat Elvis when you think of me? Just purely from a visual standpoint.
Starting point is 00:17:05 When I think of Lady Gaga, I think of Mitchell Coombs. Oh, another one for me. Fuck yeah. I've got not Celine Dion. Who's the other one? Shania Twain. Shania Twain, I think you. Wow, I've got so many.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I also think you for Kesha. Oh, okay. I'll claim her too. Add her to my nest. Yeah, add her. I can't listen, and it's very hard at the moment, given the fame of it all, but I can't listen to any Charli XCX without thinking of my ex. Oh, my God. Me yeah. I can't listen, and it's very hard at the moment, given the fame of it all, but I can't listen to any Charlie XCX without thinking of my ex.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Oh, my God, me too. Really? Yeah, when I think Charlie XCX, his face pops up in my mind. Same, but he's extra dirty. Not in a bad way. When I picture him, I'm like, it's just a dirty version of him, like a scruffy version, you know? Okay, that doesn't happen for me.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Oh, okay. I just picture him and go, I don't know why there's a link between him and Charlie XCX. I don't know why. It's the same. I can't listen. It's a link between him and Charlie XCX. I don't know why. It's the same. I can't listen. It's not like he's ruined her for me, but I definitely associate. No, I can't listen to the new album without thinking of him.
Starting point is 00:17:50 It's like, fucking hell. Oh, God, he's ruined it for you. He has. I wonder if you ruined anything for him. Um. Oh. What about radio? Oh, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Oh, my God. I bet. Should we just call him and ask? Yeah. 31065, what have I ruined for you? I'd love to know if I've ruined anything for him. What if I just randomly called him? Hey, just out of curiosity.
Starting point is 00:18:10 No, I don't think we should do that. What did Mitch ruin for you? I'll ask him next time I bump into him. Yeah, please do. Also, Taylor Swift. There's definitely someone that comes to mind when I think of Taylor Swift. Jenna, you'll know who I'm talking about. One of our old bosses here at the radio station.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Oh, yeah, yeah. That one that you famously didn't get along with? Well, I wanted to get along with her. We tried. We tried very hard. Which, as you know, Mitch, is not like me. Usually if someone doesn't like me, I'm like, whatever. I don't feel the need to fix the situation.
Starting point is 00:18:41 If they don't like me, I'm like, ah, well, that's fine. But because she's my boss, I was like, I'm going to really try and get along with her just for keeping the peace in the business. And you really did try. I did. You did try. And I thought, what have I got in common with her? Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. And so I'd try and strike up a chat, be like, oh, what did you think of the new album, blah, blah, blah. And she'd say shit like, reputation wasn't as good as 1989. I'm like, oh, fuck, why do I bother with you? Jesus Christ. But I really tried. And for some reason on the news, if they say, oh, Taylor Swift fans,
Starting point is 00:19:14 bang, her face in my head. Oh, that's hard. No, that makes me sick. Again, it's not enough to ruin Taylor Swift for me, but yeah, that's the association. And it probably always will be. Oh, I think of my dad when I hear Tom Jones, like Watch New Pussycat and all those
Starting point is 00:19:28 songs. I think of you when I think of Tom Jones. Oh, see, there you go. There you go. I've got one. You do. I have one. Oh, Tom Jones. Because you play it on your radio show, don't you? Every night, yeah, I finish with Watch New Pussycat. Watch New Pussycat. So you'd sell that from your dad? Yeah, my dad used to pick me up from school or from swim training
Starting point is 00:19:44 and because I was a competitive swimmer, very good, top of my league. And I would... Was. Dad was, correct, until that drowning incident. Dad would pick me up listening to, on full blast, Windows Down. He'd pull up blaring it. Sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb. I didn't know that Tom Jones had more than one song.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Oh, my God, Tom Jones is brilliant. Burning down the house. Yeah, Kiss is brilliant. It's a cover of Prince, but Kiss. Yeah. You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on. You just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn. Yeah, and it doesn't ring any bells.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Really? Unfortunately, no. Really? No. It's not unusual. Oh, I know that one, of course. Yeah, it's Tom Jones. Are we just doing this for the rest of the episode, are we?
Starting point is 00:20:27 Tom Jones, yeah. Just shouting lyrics at me. Happy birthday, Mitchell. I'm going to sing for the rest of the show. Just Tom Jones. Sing me happy birthday in a Tom Jones voice. Happy birthday, Mitchell. Happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:20:41 This is when Mel brings in the cake. Mitchell Coombs. Okay, that's next episode. Not on my watch. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. So I remember before we went on holidays, like the last episode maybe that we did before we went on holidays.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yes. You had your bloody musical theatre cameo in Anne Juliet. Yeah, I did. Big moment. We basically fucking dedicated a whole episode to unpacking it. Yes, we did. It was a big moment. You wore the costume.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Totally. Yeah, it was. I did. Much less of a fuss was made two nights later when I was performing my comedy show to the point where Jenna didn't turn up. Everyone was asking. You were there, Mitch. I turned up. Everyone was asking my comedy show to the point where Jenna didn't turn up. Everyone was asking. You were there, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I turned up. Everyone was asking, where's Jenna? Where's Jenna? And I was like, to be fair, I don't think she ever mentioned either way if she was going to come. No. I wasn't expecting her. But you have seen that show.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I have. I have. It was an edited new version. It's much better now. Well, I really enjoyed the first one. Thanks. Five stars. Nice.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Oh, good. Ten out of ten. Oh, God, you spoil me. It's just true. She wouldn't say that if it wasn't Five stars. Nice. Oh, good. Ten out of ten. Oh, God, you spoil me. She wouldn't say that if it wasn't my birthday. No, she wouldn't. So, anyway, Gina, here's something you missed from the show that I had a couple of, when was it again? Fuck.
Starting point is 00:21:56 June. A month ago. Yeah. Yeah. In Sydney. So, context, remember not long ago I was also talking on the podcast about the fact that I fucked someone's name up. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:22:07 We got given a gorgeous gift from one of our idiots that came to my Melbourne show. Get it right. Don't fucking do this. It was either Jess or Kate, and I said one, but the other was true. I think it was Jess. She's Kate, but I said Jess. Yeah. And I got it wrong, which is especially disrespectful when she just bought this beautiful, thoughtful gift.
Starting point is 00:22:27 And it was an amazing gift. Yes, I agree. Exactly. It's just spitting in her face, right? Yeah. And so before the Sydney show that you came to, Mitch, I got a message on Instagram saying, Hi, I'm bringing my wife to your show, my wife Courtney, and it's our two-year anniversary. Can you give us a shout out?
Starting point is 00:22:44 And I was like, of course, mate. No worries. I can do that. That's sweet. And I was pretty determined to get his name correct to the point where I had to ask because how would you pronounce this? It was spelt J-A-C-I-N. Oh, Jackson?
Starting point is 00:22:59 Right. Or Jacken. Yeah, Jacken. Jason? Jack? It was Jason. I think. I mean, it's the third option, yeah. But I still checked because it was spelten. Yeah, Jacken. Jason? Jack? It was Jason. I think. I mean, it's the third option, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:05 But I still checked because it was spelt weird. Yeah. And I was like, okay, I need to double check this because it's important to me to get names right. Yeah. How do I say it? And he goes, oh, it's just Jason. And I was like, fucking too easy. I can do that.
Starting point is 00:23:18 No dramas. Well. Oh, God. Where's Justin, can I ask? Come on, Justin. You're not trolling me, are you? My heart's out. You told me that you'd be here and that I should give a shout-out. Where's Justin?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Oh, Jason. Jason, not Justin. Everyone was definitely laughing at me, not with me. I was and I was mortified because I knew exactly how you'd be feeling. I must say, Justin and Jason to me are very similar names. Thank you. They've always, my whole life, I get in the mix up. Still wrong.
Starting point is 00:23:48 So what was going on in my head, because I clarified, how do I say Jack incorrectly? He said, Jason. I made a mental note. Oh, it's just a basic name beginning with J. Don't stress yourself. I even had it written down, but still went out there and said, Justin, and you can't hear it in that audio,
Starting point is 00:24:03 but there were so many idiots in the front row going, oh, again. He's done it again. Can I just say, can I say, welcome to live performing. You guys laugh at me for getting names wrong all the time, but when you're live and when you've got one shot at it, your brain just says, your brain
Starting point is 00:24:20 has moments, like synapses. You're not live. You're on this show. I'm live every night on my radio show, award-winning number one. You've got their names written on phone boxes right in front of you. What's your excuse for calling Courtney Bev? I'm also pressing buttons.
Starting point is 00:24:33 It's never that far off. It very much is. But at least I was close, right? You were close. Jeff, Kate, Jason, Justin, fucking, you know, same shit, different smell. That's what he gets for having his name spelt like that. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:24:44 But, like, why bother? I actually tried to get it right. I wrote it down. I clarified with him. Still fucked it up. Yeah, but I think that it's the thought that counts. Yeah, but also, why does it bother you so much? It's not really a big deal.
Starting point is 00:24:55 See, I own it. I make it part of the brand. In fact, I get names right these days, but I just make them wrong because it's funnier. No, see, it was like we were talking about last time. It's just very respectful to get someone's name right. And can I tell you, someone who's like me and is very meticulous about wanting to get names right, you might have seen this online, Kelly Clarkson. I didn't see this.
Starting point is 00:25:14 So she really wants to get people's names right and she's figured out a brilliant method. So she had a guest on and it was spelt, tell me how you'd pronounce this. Yeah. L-A-U-F-E-Y. L-A-U-F-E-Y. L-A-U-F-E-Y. F-E-Y, yeah. Lauffy. Lauffy.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Lauffy. Lauffy. Lauffy. So not quite. And Kelly was on a bloody talk show with L-A-U-F-E-Y and wanted to get the name right, but instead went about it a different way. Say it again one more time. Leve.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Leve. Leve. Leve. Leve. Honestly, like Leve is the easiest. That's not your name. I want to get it right so badly. Just one more time. Leve. Leve. Leve. Honestly, like, Leve is the easiest. That's not your name! I want to get it right so badly. Just one more time. Leve. Leve.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Leve. Leve. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to move my mouth and you're going to say it. Alright, we're going to be joined by the very talented singer-songwriter Leve. Next. That's funny. See, that's great. I love
Starting point is 00:26:08 that so much because I'm like, oh, she's just like me where she's just, I want to get it right and if I get it wrong, it'll be so mortifying. And don't change it for me. I want to pronounce it right. Yeah, she goes, oh, you're going to say Leve. She goes, that's not your name. I do not have that gene. I will say someone, the other day I interviewed an artist, got the
Starting point is 00:26:23 name of the song wrong in front of them. Went, oh, yeah. Emma Memmer. Don't have to block her on Instagram. It also fucks me off. I'm sure I've ranted about this before, but people like Sean, who his last name is Moran, but he'll say, Sean Moran. And I'm like, that's not your name.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Why does he do that? That's not your fucking name. And he goes, oh, I answered it either. And I was like, that's not how names work. I'm not going to answer to Clem. Oh, I answered it either. And I was like, that's not how names work. Yeah. I'm not going to answer to Clem. Oh, I don't mind. I'm not fussing.
Starting point is 00:26:51 No, you're given a name and you stick with it. Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. Sean's just too polite. Anyway, I really should have given that method a crack. It would have taken a lot of coordination with my Justin. Jason. Just off fuck Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Imagine that. Courtney, your beautiful husband, Jason, would like to say happy anniversary. Yeah. Why don't we plan it next time so that I can have it on a piece of paper and just I can yell it out? You'll forget the fucking paper, won't you? Can I show you one more thing from my closing night? Yes. The water off a duck's clit era is over.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Yes, yes, yes. Oh. Oh. Oh, no. Yeah, you're trying to sound upset, right? You era is over. Yes, yes, yes. Oh. Oh. Oh, no. Yeah, you're trying to sound upset, right? You sound so disappointed. Yeah, it's sad. Fuck you both.
Starting point is 00:27:30 It's my birthday. Sorry. I went, yeah, the water off a duck's ear is over. How sad. You went, yes. No, it is. I like the post on Instagram. What more do you want from me?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Anyway, closing night. Yes. I was doing, you know how I like to wander around and chat to people in the crowd? Very much so. Summered across one legend of a woman, Lisa, who I believe upstaged me to the point where I'm going to show you what she told me. And then we're going to do a Jenna Decides. Okay. The question on the line is, do you believe Lisa, who was in the audience for my closing night Wollongong show,
Starting point is 00:28:04 the last ever duck and clip that I pegged in people's faces? Is she funnier than me? Okay. The line is, do you believe Lisa, who was in the audience for my closing night Wollongong show, the last ever duck and clit that I pegged in people's faces, is she funnier than me? Okay. Oh, so does my say not fucking matter? Well, it's genitour signs, but I suppose she can consult with the jury. All right. The jury. The jury jury.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Nice. Why have we never run with that? Oh, my God. The jury jury. Wow. That's a segment waiting to happen. Oh, my God. But honestly, I think it's going to be a no-brainer because she fucking killed it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I gave Lisa the microphone. Yeah. So I was just wandering around chatting with people. She told me what she does for work, which is working as a prison guard. Oh, wow. Oh, that's interesting. And she told me the thing she hates most about that job is strip searches. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And that's when we got Dickon to find out what's going on with this one. I want to hear all about it. right hang on whoa if you didn't catch that it was things you find in a strip search what's the worst thing you found in a strip search i'll tell you this story of course you know what i'm not even you hold the mic all right here's something no one will ever forget so it's my first strip search on my own so what would you don't pop a squat and cough or anything like that All right, here's something no one will ever forget. So it was my first strip search on my own. So what we'd do, you don't pop a squat and cough or anything like that. So I said to her, turn around, put your hands out like a starfish,
Starting point is 00:29:15 take your underwear off and put them on the floor in front of you. So while she's facing away from me, she picks up her underwear and I have a quick look. There's something about as red as those curtains. Yeah, but it wasn't what we all think it could have been. So I said to her, what's that? She goes, no, no, no, please miss, don't make me do it. No, no, no, take it out, take it out, you have to take it out. Please miss, don't make me
Starting point is 00:29:34 take it out. Please miss. She's literally popped down a squat, went, and out came a Nescafe coffee jar The red thing that I saw was the lid of the jar So I've had to get the governor to come back in to report
Starting point is 00:29:59 I've just found something on my first strip search and she's like, alright, we'll go through it thinking there's going to be something in there Just coffee found something on my first strip search and she's like all right we'll go through it thinking there's going to be something in there just coffee wouldn't it be easier to shell the pod like the pod coffee you don't want a whole fucking jar lisa thank you for sharing round of applause that is not what i saw it going oh my. This person just shoved coffee up their ass because they're like, I'm not drinking that international race shit on the inside.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Jesus. It was a jar. Wow. It's just fucking gold. Yeah. As a comedian, you wouldn't understand. Yes. But when you find someone in the audience that's willing to deliver like that,
Starting point is 00:30:41 oh, it's the best because normally it's like, what do you do for work, sweetheart? Rent her. Yeah. Lisa's like, bitch, I've got the best. Because normally it's like, what do you do for work, sweetheart? Rent her. Yeah. Lisa's like, bitch, I've got a story. Yeah. Strap in, mate. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:50 So honestly, Jenna, what do you think? Jenna decides. Did Lisa upstage me? Okay, so her story was hilarious. Did not expect the ending. Her delivery was actually very good. I feel like she complimented you, in a sense. Not
Starting point is 00:31:07 necessarily better. Don't beat around the bush, bitch. But I think you're funnier. What? Oh. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't funny. It was just a shocking story. I'm with Jenna. But delivered beautifully. She should be up in that safe. No, I feel like I can picture her at a
Starting point is 00:31:24 comedy festival delivering that. Maybe that was the wrong question. Was she funnier? Because that was just like epic. I was like, give her a Netflix show. No, I really don't think so. No, I can picture her at like a comedy festival or like a stand-up where they have like that one segment. That's not where I saw this going.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Sorry, Lisa, if you're listening, which I know she does. Oh, sorry, Lisa. No, funny moment. No, I think she's hilarious. That was the best story. Yeah. Honestly, it was hard to top that actually. Maybe you had to be there. Fuck you both. Yeah, I feel like one of those situations. Is it just
Starting point is 00:31:55 me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a little bitch. Is it just me on the fly? I just popped downstairs during that little break there to get some Uber Eats. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:13 I don't know how cyclists do it. As a cyclist myself, it is freezing. Why did you roll your eyes at that? I just haven't seen much bike content. I feel like it's fallen off. Again, I don't need to post about everything I'm doing. I know, but do you want me to send you selfies every time I'm riding my bike? Maybe one.
Starting point is 00:32:29 You can't just take my word for it? In this moment, yes, but I do want pics. All right, sure. What did they do? They shocked you? Well, it's freezing out there. And we're also in North Sydney. They were riding along the fucking busy-ass streets in this weather.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I was like, holy fuck, man, how do you do it? Yeah, and also your fingers get so cold holding onto those little handles. He wasn't wearing gloves. Oh, really? Have you seen those special gloves that motorcyclists have and also some Uber Eats drivers and they're connected to the handlebars and they're like little mittens that you just put your hands straight in? Oh, that's cute. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Because if you need to fucking grab your phone out of your pocket, not while riding, you don't have to fuck around taking the glove off. Yes. That's excellent. I'm getting some of those for my family over, Gina. For your what? That's my bike's name. Oh, the bike, of course. Yes. That's excellent. I'm getting some of those for my fan wee-ober, Gina. For your what? That's my bike's name. Oh, the bike, of course.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I often forget. What would I even search for that? Bike gloves. Yeah, no, search delivery driver bike gloves. Right, I'm on it. Because I think it's one of those things that have been retroactively fitted to the bikes for Uber Eats drivers. Oh, yeah, they're great.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Look at those. Yeah, yeah, they're cool. They're like boxing gloves. Yeah, they are. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm investing in some of those. Happy birthday to fucking me, I guess. Put it on the kiddie. It's from Jenna and I. Yeah, yeah, they're cool. They're like boxing gloves. Yes, they are. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm investing in some of those. Happy birthday to fucking me, I guess. Put it on the kiddio.
Starting point is 00:33:26 It's from Jenna and I. Yeah, put it on the kiddio. I also need to get the new kiddio details, please. Yeah, yeah, I've been meaning to do that. Yeah. How long has it not been working? I'm not withholding them. No, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I wouldn't mind them either. What are you trying to do with it? I want to go to Japan. Oh, for fuck's sake. Not that again. Jesus Christ. Fappin' and Jappin', whatever it's called. Actually, the card was still active then, so you could have done it.
Starting point is 00:33:47 But anyway. There's enough money for return flights to business for a few people. To Japan business. Yeah. Do you want to come? I could think of nothing worse. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Also, I listened back to that air check. I had so many messages going, I think you offended Oscar with my harsh critiques. I felt bad. Then I texted him. He didn't reply for three days. Yeah, he was very upset. Did he not actually reply? No, for three days.
Starting point is 00:34:11 How tense. He said, sorry, I've been at work. I'm like, what are you? You're climbing to base camp Mount Everest. You're a Sherpa taking up hiking people. Well, do you want to do another air check? We're about to dive into TV tings. Oh, yes. And I'll try not to make anyone upset this time.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Haven't done this for a while. Let's dive in. Yep. TV tings. Oh, yes. And I'll try not to make anyone upset this time. Haven't done this for a while. Let's dive in. Gee, your mate Astro Tash is causing a bit of a fucking stir, isn't she?
Starting point is 00:34:31 Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Our mate Astro Tash. Astro Tash is- Actually, true. Apologies. She's been on our podcast before. She's the one that told me that I am immune to mercury and retrograde because of my star
Starting point is 00:34:41 sign positioning and also that you and I are cosmic soulmates. It was back in episode 132 for those playing along. I've got heaps to tell you about your chart, Mitchell. What was a standout to me was actually the relationship between the two of you, between Mitch and Mitchell. I would kind of call this a soulmate relationship because of this placement. It's a beautiful working partnership. And you know, soulmates come in all different shapes and sizes. Yeah that's true. It can be romantic.
Starting point is 00:35:09 That's very true. Soulmates. How cute. I agree with her. Actually our friendship's been unbreakable since. Yeah maybe there was just something about what she said or the way she said it. No arguments since then. Well. No big ones. Well she unfollowed me. What? Yeah I was very offended.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Oh, okay. This will be an interesting air check then because Astro Tash has a new gig. Yeah. Jenna might be a bit scathing of this. I did see this. She already worked at Channel 7 doing the morning show. She pops up doing the horoscopes, doing her thing. I think she fucking knows her shit.
Starting point is 00:35:40 She once just DM'd me my own horoscope because I asked for it and she goes, I've just pulled up your chart. I still have it on file from when I was on the podcast. Yeah. I was like, God, she's good. Let me tell you, she's a famous astrologist in this country and she's on the up and up. I wasn't so famous. Not anymore.
Starting point is 00:35:53 She does a segment on my radio show. So she can't be that famous. She's very famous. She is very good. I saw some articles. They're not hating on her. They're hating on what the news agencies have done. Yeah. So she knows her shit and she's already working for Channel 7 doing the morning show,
Starting point is 00:36:08 like I said. But they've decided to make it go primetime. Controversially, apparently, they've given her a 20 second segment on 7 News doing horoscopes. Naturally, there's a few people being like, what the fuck? Horoscopes on the news? Yeah. I wouldn't call that news. Some people argue, well, it's a science. But anyway, obviously I tuned in because there was a lot of controversy around it. Weirdly, it's not the most controversial thing happening on planet Earth. No, I was away in the US when this happened, so I missed all this drama. Oh, well, let me show you.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Here I was thinking that AstroTash is going to have to squeeze all this information into 20 seconds. This is what happened on the news. This is like as they're throwing to an ad break and they just squeeze it on the end. Okay. Now Angie's back with the forecast. And sadly skies are set to turn grey. Mark, blue sky today.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So she does the weather bullshit, blah, blah, blah. That's not Tash. Details next. Just a slideshow and some porn music. No one's talking. Oh. Leo, step up with bravery and bold action. It's your ticket to hitting your targets, whether at work or home.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I just wanted to take that on board, I'm a Leo. Oh. So I think it's ridiculous that they're on the news, but I'm also like, oh, I'll have a glance at my star sign if it's on the screen, won't I? People need to grow up. It's on the screen, but I'm also like, oh, I'll have a glance at my star sign if it's on the screen, won't I? People need to grow up. It's on the screen for you to read. Like, God, sorry, but I'm happy to have my horrific news, Trump being shot, war in Ukraine, break it up with some light astrology.
Starting point is 00:37:35 I don't mind. I don't know about the porn music, though. Yes. This is what's playing in the background. No speech. And it's got Astro Tasha's Instagram handle at the top. Is there also a rating for each? Yeah, there's stars.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Tomorrow's star rating. I don't know what that means. What does that mean? Is that just how good your day is going to be out of five? What's Libra? Oh, fuck. Hang on. Let me rewind.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Rewind the porn. And Gemini. Oh, God. See, we're all interested. See, I told you. Like, on paper, it sounds stupid as fuck, the news having horoscopes. But now we're like, no, we'll have a look, won't we? What are you getting, Libra?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Libra, yeah. Three stars. Sorry about that. Oh, fuck. What about Gemini? I'm finding it. Oh, Gemini. Two stars.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Fuck, I'm killing it. I was five stars. Ash hates me. Well, we knew that. I think, hang on, Jenna. What? Jen and I. Diffuse tension by stealing a few solo moments,
Starting point is 00:38:27 even if it's just a quick five-minute breather. Oh, my God. You did that on the podcast with the Misfits. You stole many solo moments. Yes, that's true. That wasn't solo. Well, no, it wasn't. And also three stars is generous for that piece of shit show.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Maybe you need to step out of the room now because you seem furious at Astor Attach. She's just doing her job. No, I think she could be doing better. You know why she probably unfollowed you? She's jealous. at Astor and Tash. She's just doing her job. No, I think she could be doing better. You know why she probably unfollowed you? She's jealous. I highly doubt it. But also, you weren't there the day that she was on the podcast,
Starting point is 00:38:52 did I swear? No, she was because remember we suggested that Tash looked like the older version of Jenna. Yes, and she followed me then and liked all my stuff and was really nice and then just unfollowed me out of the blue. She must have seen a real fugly pic. They think I look like that? Unfollowed.
Starting point is 00:39:06 How rude. I think she still follows me. I do like her. But obviously she's not on air doing this thing during the bloody 6pm news. No, she just writes them. She just writes them. But I've heard rumours, just rumours, let me make that clear, just rumours from people I know who work in TV,
Starting point is 00:39:22 that Mark Ferguson was supposed to read it. That newsreader that you heard at the start, he's our Sydney bloke. Yeah, he's the anchor. Now Angie's back with the forecast and Sally Skye's in the set to two. On billboards. Apparently he's meant to read the horoscopes, but he put his foot down and was like, there's absolutely no way, darling. I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I'm a newsman. I ought be taken seriously. I'm not reading fucking horoscopes. Are you joking? I don't blame him, to be honest. I kind of get that, too. Then also, part and parcel with the gig, like the other night I had to do a State of Origin show on the radio
Starting point is 00:39:55 and I had no idea what I was talking about, but it's the job. So you kind of suck it up and you talk about football. Yeah, I guess, but radio broadcasting is a bit different. You know, you're covering general interests in the public. News is meant to be like news. Yes, you're right. He would have studied journalism. He'd have a degree.
Starting point is 00:40:10 You would assume so. Yeah, yeah. And so, again, just rumours. Mark Ferguson, this part isn't a rumour. Mark Ferguson is apparently taking a hefty amount of time off during the, what are we calling it again? Oh, the Olympics. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Oh, the Olympics. The Olympics. The Eleanorlympics Oh, the L-lympics. Yeah. Oh, the L-lympics. L-lympics. The Eleanorlympics. Yes. Eleanorlympics. Yes. Apparently he's taking a hefty amount of time off. He's been stood down from seven years during that time.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And again, rumours. Rumours. Because of this? Yeah. Because they've got a new boss there. And apparently they were like, let's show him who's boss. We're going to take him off primetime for a bit, which is not something you would do willy-nilly.
Starting point is 00:40:47 He's fucking creative managers in creative industries that think they know better than... Oh my god, it pisses me off. I blame Astro Tash. Astro Tash is a friend of the show. She doesn't like me. She's just doing her job. She put her bloody stars and her fucking commentary in 20 second slideshow. She did her bit. She made Gemini look embarrassing. Maybe the stars told her to unfollow someone and she's like sorry. First in, last out. And there were a lot of comments about the fact they're doing horoscopes. Channel 7 News now features
Starting point is 00:41:11 horoscopes. What rubbish. Looks like they don't really care about news. And then someone else wrote, between horoscopes and comedy skits. That's another thing they've incorporated. They're trying to spice up the news. Mark Humphrey. Yeah, Mark Humphrey. Who looked at the news and said, this needs comedy? The new boss, I don't even
Starting point is 00:41:28 know. I can't remember his name. Anthony did something. Anyway, not important. Basically, he's making all these weird decisions that's kind of making them look less legit. You know what I mean? As a serious news broadcaster. But this comment said, between horoscopes and comedy skits, might as well go the full hog and get
Starting point is 00:41:43 Denise Drysdale spinning a wheel and giving away prizes. Honestly, I'm all for that. I'd watch that. I fucking would. Now, that's comedy, to be honest. But you know who else slammed them? Who?
Starting point is 00:41:52 One of their own who was let go. Oh, I saw this. Sharon Godella. Yes. Disgruntled. She did Seven News in Brisbane. To us, she's not a big deal. But, yeah, in Brisbane, she's like, they're fucking Sandra Sully, mate.
Starting point is 00:42:03 They let her go. And she wrote in this big post on Facebook, I'm not one to have my evening news served up with humour and horoscopes, so to be honest, it is time to go. Wow, the drama. Throwing a bit of shade about the horoscopes and the comedy. Oh, if I ever left radio, you know the scathing Instagram post I'd put up. I can just imagine. I'd be such a bitch. I don't know if there's any scenario where I'd be required to write a scathing Instagram post I'd put up. I can just imagine. I'd be such a bitch. I don't know if there's any scenario where I'd be required to write a scathing Instagram post.
Starting point is 00:42:28 If we broke up, would you shame me? I don't know because I can't imagine we would break up. On bad terms. Yeah, we're soulmates. We are. Even if the show ended, we wouldn't. Exactly. And I'm not one for burning bridges unlike Genevieve over here.
Starting point is 00:42:41 I was about to say Genevieve. Do you know who would? I might do one for Astro Tash. What would you write? Bitch. With no conviction. Bitch. What, bitch at Astro Tash?
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yeah, just all lowercase. Can I have you know, Astro Tash and Tasha is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Yeah, she is. And you are one of the foulest. So it all checks out. Makes sense. Astro Tash, I'm notest. So it all checks out. Makes sense. Astro Tash, I'm not joking. I was messaging her yesterday.
Starting point is 00:43:08 She's making a birth chart for baby Remy, my niece. Oh, see, God love her. Yeah, she's actually a saint. And she just loves what she does. Yeah, she does. And you know what? She doesn't take bullshit and she unfollows shit accounts. And I actually back her.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Are you being mean to Jenna because it's my birthday and I can't be the punching bag today? Yes. You need someone to bully. And also, Tash listens to this show. Does she? Yes, she's an idiot. Tash, I went in being a bit sceptical about the horoscopes, but I just watched it and I found myself rewinding.
Starting point is 00:43:36 For some reason, I'm into it. Thank you. I agree. People think they don't like horoscopes, but when they actually see their star sign, they go, oh, oh, oh. Oh, I love it. I better have a glance. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:43:45 But I agree that potentially the news isn't the right spot for these things. It is a bit of an odd spot to put it, but who gives a fuck? It's just weird that no one reads them. Porn music. And then what are the blind community to do? So true. They'd be like, what are Angie and Mark getting up to at the desk? Oh, my God, they'd be shocked.
Starting point is 00:44:08 You know, the deaf community, actually, we have a new innovation coming on this show. The captions we're doing. Can we talk about that or no? Oh, we're not doing it. They just, IHUT told us they're putting automatic transcription on our episodes, which worries me because Instagram and TikTok have the automatic caption things and I spend at least half an hour correcting it. They're not going to understand my fucking thick Aussie accent at all. They already do it on Apple Podcasts.
Starting point is 00:44:32 And have you seen how wrong they are? Are they wrong? Yeah. Well, listen, carry on, Tash. Continue. Yeah, we're on your side, Tashy. Jenna's not. I could be if you followed me back.
Starting point is 00:44:42 She's on Jenna's side. I don't think she will. Maybe. Nah, she unfollowed you. I was trying to think of something nice. Let's get out of here. Mitchell, enjoy your birthday. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Tomorrow, but at the time of recording. You'll be there for it. Am I coming? Well, no, because we're recording Monday's episode to come on my actual birthday. It's lined up perfectly. I get two. Yeah. But this is my gift.
Starting point is 00:45:03 I paid for these. What? Oh, fuck. I forgot the flowers were behind me. You were just pointing at me. I was like, what's your gift up perfectly. I get two. But this is my gift. I paid for these. What? Oh, fuck. I forgot the flowers were behind me. You were just pointing at me. I was like, what's your gift? You. Get the outfit.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I bought this. No, no. So I'm going to have to get, you can get him something next week. Oh, I am. I've got it planned. We got you honey cake. You didn't. We did.
Starting point is 00:45:18 We paid for that. On the kiddio? Yeah, that's us. I'm going to pay with using my own money. Yeah, that's nice. Oh, God, you're good to me, Jenna. I know, I am. Next week we'll see you.
Starting point is 00:45:27 And we'll have a great weekend. Thank you. And a great birthday. Yes. And, idiots, we'll see you very soon for another episode. Catch you on Monday, idiots. Bye-bye. See you, guys.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show is done, but it's not. Shiri, I've got a big question to ask you, actually. Yeah, go.
Starting point is 00:46:05 I just thought of it while I was getting my Uber Eats. Well, thanks a lot. It's not what you think. I just thought of it. I saw a hippo in the lobby. You can't make fat jokes at your own expense at the same time as boasting about your weight loss. Pick one. I haven't boasted about it today at all.
Starting point is 00:46:22 But it's 41 kilos. I've kept it off, naturally. Yes, what did you think? I think we should go official. Oh. I think we should be Find My Friends official. No. Why?
Starting point is 00:46:33 I don't want you. Mitchell and I are. I was with Mitchell and he removed himself. I was with you and you removed me. No, because you didn't share your location. I did not. Yes. I removed you because only you could see where I was. You didn't share yours back.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Exactly how I designed it. I was very happy with that setup. I've just gotten in such a habit because I've got Sean on there now and I can just open the phone and be like, oh, where is he at? I don't have to text him. But I lied to you about my location. Now you can catch me out. When?
Starting point is 00:46:58 When do you ever do that? Why do you lie about it? And why are you now admitting to it? That defeats the purpose. Do you want to come out tonight? And I'm like, I can't. I'm at my auntie's birthday, but you'll see that I'm a porto. Okay, hand on heart, when was the last time I asked you to come out?
Starting point is 00:47:11 I don't bother anymore. Yeah, that's actually hurtful. I don't waste my energy. You should start trying again. No. It's only my social era. It is. I actually am.
Starting point is 00:47:19 I'm feeling very social. I've got a young, hot boyfriend. It's good fun. I go out. Oh, yo. Drink. Yep. One drink.
Starting point is 00:47:25 But you're not going to ever invite me to things. So why would I invite you to things? I only go to things I'm invited to. No, you don't. Not even that. I don't have the brainpower to. Okay. You want it?
Starting point is 00:47:36 You can have it. Wow. Is that how you speak to your fucking infant boyfriend? Wow. Well, yes. Wow. In a much more consensual way. You want it?
Starting point is 00:47:45 Have it. That's want it, have it. That's not how we do it. That's how you spoke to me on my birthday. Well, you've been waiting six years for that to happen. Yeah, you know, if you go to your messages and you have them enabled, it shows you where they are in the messages. Yeah. Oh, mine doesn't do that.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Yeah, it would, it would. Mine does. I'll give you access, I don't care. It's kind of fucked with my brain, this find my thing, because I just have it in my head that every friend of mine I have on there. Do you have them? No. Only a few.
Starting point is 00:48:12 All right, Mitchell, I'm adding you. Jenna, I'm adding you. Cool. But I want you guys back. Oh, obviously. Share indefinitely. Indefinitely. Cool.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Yeah, I've still got Jenna on there. We've had each other for years. Yeah. Really? I think we thought it was such a novelty in like 2016 or something when it first came out with this feature. We were like, let's share each other's location. And we just never got rid of it. All right, should we do a little challenge?
Starting point is 00:48:32 Because I, for one, have nothing to hide. Should we do a challenge now? Because you can always just unshare it. Pick someone randomly in your contacts. Share your location with them. I'm going to share with AstroTax. Oh, she'd be in fucking television prison. And see if A, they share back, or if B, they remove it.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Fuck, who's the weirdest person I could do? Who is it? I'm going to search Arta Batros. Don't you only have a home phone, though? No, I've got a mobile. We recently spoke. What? I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I can't. I'll do Grace Gard, my EP. Oh, that's not random. It's not? No. Okay, that's not random. It's not? No. Okay, give me a random letter. D. Someone's got something on the brain, don't they?
Starting point is 00:49:13 Holy shit. All right, I've searched D. I bet you have. David Arthur, Mitch's manager. Duncan Campbell. Or Dave Cameron. Why have you got the other boss's number from the rival network? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I was young. Oh, I don't know. He's the head of the rival network. Duncan Campbell's the head of my network. I think you do it to AstroTat. Have you got enough? Yeah, I was texting her today. Jenna, in my phone, you don't even have a contact.
Starting point is 00:49:39 You're just JB. Do you have a contact card set up? No. Set it up. I don't like the contact card. Why? I love it. I up? No. Set it up. I don't like the contact card. Why? I love it. I change mine often.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I've noticed, but I don't like it because it takes away my ability to give someone a contact photo. I like to pick the photo, something we've done together, but now I've just got that hideous pit push one of you and the bloody in America. I changed it to the pit push. Look at the one I've got of you. See, isn't that fun? Show me, show me, show me.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Look at the one of me. I was fucking- Baby Mitchell. Oh my God. I would have been 20. Oh my God. that fun? Show me, show me, show me. Look at the one of me. I was fucking- Baby Mitchell. Oh my God. I would have been 20. Oh my God. Took a low angle selfie giving the finger.
Starting point is 00:50:09 We see beautiful memories. Have you seen- Great memories. Have you seen my contact photo of you? I don't know. I will never change it. Oh God, is it my fucking
Starting point is 00:50:17 North White RSL photo? See, why would I rob you of that? I know. I'm not doing a contact card. But it's also not even the photo. It's like zoomed out. It's like half the card itself. You look like a little that. I know. I'm not doing a contact card. But it's also not even the photo. It's like zoomed out. It's like half the card itself.
Starting point is 00:50:27 You look like a little kid. I look like a little lesbian. That's what I look like. Mitchell, give me your location, please. I did. Oh, sorry. I pressed it. Did it work?
Starting point is 00:50:33 How dare I? I gave you mine. Jenna Benson. Surprise, surprise. You're in North Sydney. Yep. Good to know. Wow.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Look who I've got. I've got Sally Edwards, who's in Dubrovnik. I actually met her at a hostel in Amsterdam and she said, I'm scared to walk back to my hotel alone. Can I add you on Find My for an hour? And then you can make sure I'm like, anything, Sally. Never spoken to her again. But I still have her.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Oh, she shared it indefinitely. Yeah, she's currently next to the Adriatic Sea. Look at her. She's in the middle of Dubrovnik. She's got me as well. You know that she'd get a notification if you suddenly just removed her? Would she? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:10 It's like, blah, blah, blah, stop sharing your location. I remember when you did that to me. It hurts, doesn't it, Jenna? It does. It really does. Brittany Hockley removed herself. How controversial. Share my location.
Starting point is 00:51:21 What's she trying to hide? It's hard to deal with. All right. Well, why did you want to do that? I don't know. I just think it's convenient. There's a hidden motive. Because sometimes I do sit in the studio for ages wondering where the fuck you are.
Starting point is 00:51:34 And so it'll be easy to say, okay, he's on the road still. Fair enough. Or he's in the fucking building. Who the fuck is he chatting to? I'm going to go drag him by the hair into the studio. Sometimes I do embellish and go, I'm 10 minutes away. I like it when you put on little shows. Can I just tell you that I saw through your shit this morning.
Starting point is 00:51:51 How? Because I swear you said to me, oh yeah, I'm just in the car park. And I'm like, I can hear the train going over. He's on the bridge. I was. No, I promise you I was in the car park. Some bitch from sales parked in my parking spot. And it says Midstury Star underneath it. And she was parked in it. I thought, you're not either of those two things. You never will be, bitch. I didn't say any of that because I couldn't find her. I had to park on the street.
Starting point is 00:52:10 She didn't even get into the car park. That's exactly what I thought. Don't know. There's only four parking spots for this whole network. And Amanda Keller parks in one and I park next to her. This is Jenna's boss. And she had a Gucci bag. And I went, oh, my God, Amanda.
Starting point is 00:52:24 I saw her the other day in the morning. I have that exact bag, but in green. She went, this is a's boss. And she had a Gucci bag. And I went, oh, my God, Amanda. I saw her the other day in the morning. I have that exact bag, but in green. She went, this is a handbag. And I'm like, do I have to educate? It's 2024. That's exactly right. Do I have to educate you, Amanda? Men can have handbags?
Starting point is 00:52:35 I thought you were progressive, Amanda. She gave me this jacket because her husband and son couldn't fit into it. Oh, so she's all for gender mismatching when it's with you. I feel that she did. Did she get that from industry? I've seen that before. I was jacket shopping a while ago. It says Academy.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Academy brand. Jenna, that'd be like a $200 jacket. I'm going to Google it. That's a very expensive jacket. Let's see if it fits me. Happy birthday to you. Do you want to try my new glasses on? No.
Starting point is 00:52:59 What's that jacket? Academy. Academy brand. Should we get out of here? Yeah, in two seconds. Why do we need to Google Jenna's jacket? I want to see how much Amanda Keller is... Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Can you do that Google Lens thing where you take a photo of the jacket and it reverse searches? Oh, yeah. This sounds like an ad, doesn't it? Here we go. Oh, my God. The first thing. That is so cool.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Right? All right. Amanda Keller Pay. Drumroll, please. For. All right. Amanda Keller-Pay. Drumroll, please. For her husband and her son's jacket that she's now gifted to Jenna B. Benson, $160. Not bad. It's a bit X-y, but I expected more for Amanda. It's 20% off at the moment, too.
Starting point is 00:53:37 It's still worth keeping the docket and taking it back, $160. Yeah, that's a lot of effort for her. Also, what an awkward conversation to walk up to one of your staff members and go, here's free clothes. No, she had the jacket up and said, who wants it? I got it for Harley for Father's Day. So, and then my son can't fit into it either. Who wants it?
Starting point is 00:53:56 And I said, oh, I'll have it. Are they too big or too small? God, Jen is a scab. I know, I am. No, I'd jump at it too. They're also giving away free filtered water jugs. I took four. I've taken 40.
Starting point is 00:54:07 You know that when I walk... She let me in today because you were fucking around in the car park and she literally says to me, do you want one of these water filter things? It's like a jug that you keep the cold water in the fridge but it's somehow filtered. I don't know. It's a Brita.
Starting point is 00:54:21 It was sitting downstairs on a table. It was the last one left and I was like, oh, you don't want it? She goes, I've already got many. And I was like, okay, I don't think I need it. I don't know. And I was like, yeah, it was sitting downstairs on a table. It was the last one left. And I was like, oh, you don't want it? She goes, I've already got many. And I was like, okay, I don't think I need it. I don't really want one. She goes, I'll carry it for you. And then she brought it upstairs and then goes, you sure you don't want it? And then took another one.
Starting point is 00:54:35 I was like, what are you doing with all these fucking jugs? You know what she's doing? What? Selling them. On what platform? I haven't started yet, but it'll be marketplace. Yeah, smart choice. Put the link in our idiots group and they can buy your jugs.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Jenna's jugs for sale. I'm corrupt as well. Look, I messaged my friend Kristen who I travel in Europe with. Look, America, there's a Brita. I said, I bought you a present. And she went, that's so nice. Did you actually buy it for me? I said, yes.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Oh, God. Such a liar. It's just yes. Well, it's only 49 bucks, I checked. You get them at Woolworths or something. Oh, well, I'll sell them for 20. And she's got 40 of them. It all adds up, you see.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Oh, God, yeah. Now, good for you, Jenna. You're a businesswoman at the end of the day. You're a mogul. That's like at our old workplace when we had a deal with Rimmel, and I took all those lipsticks and sold them for $40 each. I had a deal with Cookie Man Cookies, and I've got them in my drawer, but I eat them. Oh, they're so good.
Starting point is 00:55:24 They're yummy. Do you want one of your Snickerdoodle Cookie Man Cookies? They're amazing. They're so good. Yeah and I've got them in my drawer, but I eat them. They're yummy. Do you want one of your Snickerdoodle Cookie Man cookies? They're amazing. They're so good. Yeah, I'll have one. And Red Velvet and Chopped Cheese. We can do this off. Oh, Red Velvet.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Shoddy, it's my birthday. All right, here's your birthday. Happy birthday, Mitchell. We love you on the show. Thank you. Happy birthday. Guys, you can leave us a five-star review if you're on Spotify. Leave a little note.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Maybe, how old do you think Mitchell looks is the question for Spotify this week. I don't want to hear that. People have become poor. I would say 24. Thank you, Jen. Those that. People have become poor. I would say 24. Thank you, Jen. Those that listen to the Balanesian episode will say 50. Just to spite us. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
Starting point is 00:55:54 That's all. Ball of an archer. Sorry. So we do. So we do. So we bloody do. Bad. It's a comedy podcast, for God's sake.
Starting point is 00:56:04 It's my favourite comeback whenever anyone criticises that bad. It's a comedy podcast, for God's sake. It's my favourite comeback whenever anyone criticises this show. It's a comedy podcast. As if they don't know that. We were like, Jenny inside of the July 6th insurrection. I'm like, it's a comedy podcast. It was a joke. It was a joke. We're comedians.
