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?
People with ears.
Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Well, hello you. Hello you. and Mitchell Coombs. Well, hello, you.
Hello, you.
Hello, Mitchell Coombs.
Birthday boy!
Oh.
Not really, but sure.
Yes, it's your birthday tomorrow.
Oh, okay.
The 25th of July.
Oh, my God.
That is the most organised you've ever been.
Oh, wow.
Our producer, Mel, from iHeartRadio HQ.
Thank you so much, darling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
That's nice. Yeah, they're really nice. I don't have a bath. It's sees them. Yeah, they're nice. That's nice.
Yeah, they're really nice.
I don't have a bath.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Please.
I don't want to.
I've never been.
Oh, my friend just went, actually.
Oh, really?
Really enjoyed it.
When?
Very hot.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Libra, yeah.
Three stars.
Sorry about that.
Oh, fuck.
What about Gemini?
I'm finding it.
Oh, Gemini.
Two stars.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
How dare I?
I gave you mine.
Jenna Benson.
Surprise, surprise.
You're in North Sydney.
Yep.
Good to know.
Wow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, all three of us.
All right, on that note, goodbye.
Yes, we'll catch you on Monday, Yiddish.
Thanks for listening.
We'll see you soon.
See you.
See you for my birthday episode 2.0.
Oh my God, no, not on my watch. Seeish. Thanks for listening. We'll see you soon. See you for my birthday episode 2.0. Bye.
Bye.
Is it just me?
