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. How dare you leak our company secrets. That's like the newest hiree at KFC walking out with a megaphone and going, Oregano!

Salt, pepper, paprika! Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Pagano. Salt, pepper, paprika. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Oh, no, we're not going to stop down on it. Stop down on what? No, happy birthday.

Thank you. You don't get to because that's just. Why not? Because it's too much. You got the flowers last week. I think it's a lot. Flowers aren't a present, Brent. They're a garnish.

Oh, God. There it is. Jenna gets what I a lot. Flowers aren't a present, Brent. They're a garnish. Oh, God. There it is. Jenna gets what I'm saying. Hi, prize keepers. Hi. Now, happy birthday. Thank you. You know we love you. We have to celebrate it again.

Yes, at the time of record, it's my actual birthday today. So I'm milking it. I'm milking it. Yeah, yeah. Happy birthday. 28. I know. Which means it's been 10 years since my 18th, my first alcoholic drink, and certainly not

the last. No. And I know that you always say that a birthday isn't a birthday without a cake. I have always said that. Have you ever fucking said that? I have many times. I've known you for a decade. Oh, that's so gorgeous that Jenna remembered that I've said that.

How do you think she paid for it? Kitty O, you're welcome. I don't have access to the Kitty O and I never have, so I used my own money. We both organized it. Oh my God. Oh, wow. Thank you, Jenna. Oh, look at that.

I found it online and I text Jenna and I said he would love this. It's a koala. You were not involved at all. I was. I mean, since we're being honest, Mitchell, you're making a big deal about having given me flowers, but then he texted me and asked me to reimburse him from the Kinney O. I had to transfer him from my person. And then I said reimburse me.

It was $85, and then I checked the receipt. It was actually $79. I've actually made money. Yeah, he's transfer him from my person. And then I said, reimburse me. It was 85. And then I checked the receipt. It was actually 79. I've actually made money. He's made money off my person. Well, you don't have to reimburse me for this. It's a Coles Kawasa cake. Yeah, because it's from fucking Coles, Jenna. No, I'm surprised by how expensive these are.

Yeah, inflation. Hey, I'm not fussy. And Jenna's right. I remember one year, I think it might have been my 21st, I went to bed on my actual birthday. And I was like, something feels wrong. Something feels off. And then I realised I didn't have a birthday.

I remember that. I hadn't had a cake. No. And that's why I make such a point of bringing cake. I don't care if you're on a fucking diet, I'm bringing cake. One year, my sister Becky did a prank cake where she baked, she like dipped a balloon in white chocolate and then popped the balloon, didn't pop the balloon, the balloon was inside. So then I cut the cake and it popped and everyone laughed.

And I was like, good prank. Where's the secondary cake? There wasn't one. Oh, I would have cried. So not only was I pranked, which I hate, I also didn't have a cake on my birthday. But what was surrounding the balloons? White chocolate.

Oh, well, you got some white chocolate. It's a piñata. Yeah, but you don't see that it's a balloon. I thought it was a round cake. Oh, that's really sad. I know what you mean. That still doesn't count as a cake, does it? That's exactly how I felt.

I was very upset. Even like a smash cake that's made of candy doesn't count as a birthday cake. I agree. You know what I don't think counts as a birthday cake? And sorry, toddlers, but donut king cakes. What's that? Donuts in a pyramid.

Oh, no. Do you remember when donut king used to create the donuts, but they were in the number? Yes. For my 10th birthday, I remember I had that. I remember that. Probably one of the best cakes I've had. Donut king do a good fucking donut. Oh, that's the koala cake.

Look at it. Look at it. Thank you so much for this, Jenna. That's very sweet. No, you're welcome. Jenna said, I can't find it. I went, well, you go to the nearest Coles. I don't care if you've got to go to a Coles Express. She's like, what's a Coles Express? And of course you don't drive.

Mate, I don't care if it's a 7-Eleven muffin. If it's a birthday cake, it still counts. Yes. Now, Jenna, we have plates, but we don't have a knife. There's a knife there. Is there? Yeah. Jenna always has one on hand. Oh, sorry, it's blocked, but we don't have a knife. There's a knife there. Is there? Yeah. Jenna always has one on hand. Oh, sorry.

It's blocked by this teleprompter because everything here is scripted. I want to steal this. You know how I stole a knife from the Kiss office and then I accidentally gave it back when I got your cake, Jenna? Yes. It had a drop on it. Because I left it in the box. Yes.

I realise what I'm missing most is not its function as a knife, but as a letter opener. Yeah. I miss it. Yeah. It's actually still here. It's behind there, Mitchell. I miss it. Yeah. It's actually still here. It's Blunt, though, Mitchell. I use my sharpener. It's better off now than it was when I fucking got it.

It's got chop written on it. Like, it's clearly a Kmart knife. It's got chop with an exclamation point. But it's been used so much here by the underpaid staff that the C has been, you know, rubbed off. So it just says hop. I think it's the one, you know, you get for free for having Coles points. Oh, yeah. It's a Curtis Stone collaboration with MasterChef.

No doubt. Jenna, we might have to eat this off the cloud because there's fucking sprinkles going everywhere. Oh, no. Is there? Yeah. It's got blue sprinkles on this little koala face. Jesus. And they're going everywhere.

Oh, no. I'm stressed. It's so cute. And, you know, they'll make a big deal if we mess up this studio, Michael. Oh, for God's sake. The emails. One person only. It's like a personal vendetta or something.

Something against us. What are you doing tonight? Because we're all seeing you tomorrow night. I mean, me and Jenna, we're doing a birthday thing. Yeah, I was debating. I'm like, my birthday's a Thursday. Do I do something on the Thursday night or the Friday night? Because everyone might have plans on Friday.

But honestly, Thursday nights have become the new Friday night. Most people work from home on a Friday. So people tend to get lit on a Thursday. Really? Yeah. I've noticed that. Like, have you been in the Sydney CBD on a Thursday night? No, I'm on air. I've never left the... That's true. I'm always working.

Sorry for rubbing it in. That's all right. Well, I often go to the Sydney CBD overnight when I'm driving fucking Jenna home after doing the podcast. Yeah, that's true. And oh my God, it's packed with all these people in their bloody work business suits getting munted. God, I miss Thursday night shopping.

Like, is it still a thing? Because I don't think I ever took part. Oh, I did every week. I remember I did as a child. Like, after school, we would go there. Yeah. And spend time there. So, it was late night shopping, right?

Yeah. Till nine. Yeah, till nine. Would the post office stay open late? Because that's all you really bloody need. No, no, no. The essential services wouldn't stay open. Well, that's fucking stupid. I know.

You know, you could go to Valley Girl and stuff, so. Super A. All the big hitters. Listen, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every show we start the same with an Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch does not know mine. I don't know Mitch's.

We used to here on the show, if you knew, celebrate birthdays in a big fashion. We'd get celeb guests. There'd be cash prizes. Cash prizes. It'd be cash prizes. Cash prizes? It'd be a whole big bonanza. But we don't anymore because it's just too much pressure. On who? Me.

Oh. Well, what did you do for my birthday that year? Because I got you- Which year? The big year. Remember we both did one really big year. I made a montage of all of our gorgeous listeners wishing you a happy birthday. Oh, yeah. That was lovely. I got your now ex to send in a birthday message. gorgeous listeners wishing you a happy birthday. Oh, yeah.

That was lovely. I got your now ex to send in a birthday message and I hit it in a sound effect. You didn't know it was coming. That made me cry. So you hit play and you cried because it was gorgeous. Yeah. I can't remember what else I did. There was other shit.

Well, listen, I've got a montage to play. We've had our listeners. This will be good. But this is a listener you didn't know. Remember that time you actually played the montage I I made you, and said, I made this because it was saying, happy birthday, Mitch, and it still applied to me. That's good for me. But then it was like, I hope you and your boyfriend hate and have a good day.

And I was like, ah, told you, that's my montage, not yours. I do have a message from the listeners. This is beautiful. This is poignant. So they want to say, happy birthday, Mitchell Poignant. I thought you said poignant. I think he was trying to say pertinent and poignant at the same time. Poignant.

Poignant. Poignant? You know what my dad says? It's so annoying. I can't think of it. Hold on. I did a RuPaul. That's a cool story, darling.

It'll come to me. It'll come to me. He always says it. It's so annoying. You're going to play a thing from Listener's Paranoia. This is the audio that listeners send in. It's a funny reminder. Thanks, Barb. That means the world to me.

Thank you. What was the name that sent that in? Fanny. Thanks, Fanny. Jenna will send you a tape bag. It's your birthday and Jenna's coming out. Fanny's lovely. That's nice. I'll think of what my dad says. But yeah, and is it just me? Something we've noticed, hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's.

Mine is about my birthday, so I may as well kick things off. Oh, would you like to go first? Sure. Yes, please. It is. Mine is about the weather. That's all I'm going to say. Can't wait for that.

Stick around, idiots. Yeah, weather and we'll do some astrology too. Yeah, go for it, Mitchell. Is it just me or? Does some things seem like a great idea when you're drunk? Oh, most things. That's the point of drinking, right? Yeah.

Yeah, but I come up with some real cooked ideas when I'm drunk and at the time I really stand by them. I'm like, yep, that's a great idea. Oh, no, what have you done? Well, because today's my actual birthday. Last night, Sean called me and said, I'm really, really stressed about my present view. I said, why? What's wrong?

And he goes, well, it's something you said a few months ago that you wanted. And I was like, well, then how can you go wrong? Go for it. Get it. And he goes, yeah, but we were drunk at the time. Oh. And I went, oh, no. Oh, this could be anything.

Yeah. What the fuck did I say? And he goes, well, I can't tell you what it was because that would spoil it, but I'm just having doubts about whether you actually want it or if that was a drunk thought. Uh-oh. And your drunk self, you're very lippy. Me?

Yeah, yeah. You just talk a lot when you're drunk. Nah, I used to be like that. I think I've learnt to read the room a bit better. I've got more decorum. No, it's not negative. It's just you do get chatty. Yeah, no, I'm not saying it's negative.

I like drunk Mitchell. I used to run my mouth a lot when I was younger. Yeah, yeah. What was it? Tell us. Well, this morning he called me for my actual birthday and did the usual, oh, happy birthday, blah, blah, blah. And he goes, listen, the thing I was on the fence about, that gift,

I didn't end up getting it, but I've got something else on the way. I was like, okay, cool. Well, now that you're not getting it, can you tell me what you were going to get me? Yeah. Do you want to know what my grand idea when I was drunk was? What? Singing lessons. Yes.

He made the right choice. Hang on. Not just singing lessons. Together. Couple singing lessons. Joint singing lessons. I actually think that's really quite sweet. Now, where did this come from from within?

Because this is deeply shocking. I don't know, but apparently he was going to book them. And I'm like, thank fuck you didn't, because there's just no way I would have gone and done that. That sounds horrible. You couldn't pay me to go to a couple's singing lesson. Do they even exist? Or was it a pipe dream that you could do it? Well, apparently he was looking into it last night. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute. He had his finger

hovering over the mouth, ready to book. And then he goes, I just don't know if you actually want it. I need to Google couple singing lessons. Oh my God. But you know what? That's not the first time my drunk self has had that thought. Do you remember a few years ago, there was that guy I was dating. We were together for like three months or so. Yeah. And on our first date I said, so what do you do for work? And he goes, I'm a singing teacher. And by the way, you emailed me on New Year's Day once

inquiring about singing lessons. And I remember I was in Vegas with a friend and we were obviously a bit munted and it was like midnight New Year's Eve American time. And we were like, New Year's resolutions. Let's both pick something and we both have to do it. She picked boxing. And once again, my drunk self thought singing lessons was a good idea. So I sent this fucking drunken inquiry to a guy I ended up dating.

Oh my God. And he goes, yeah, you never followed up on that. Did he ever make you sing, if you know what I mean? Oh, he would try to like, he goes, oh, I think we should work on that. I should give you singing lessons. I want to discover your voice. Oh, my God. I have a voice and I'm telling you to piss off.

Are you listening? Absolutely. Are you listening? We're not doing singing lessons. I don't want to shoot your hopes down, but I think we'd have a terrible singing voice. Well, that's why you go to lessons, isn't it? Yeah, of course. But like belting, I don't know if you, I've heard you belt.

We said we wouldn't talk about that. It's private. Sorry, sorry. Hearing me belt. I think you could do it. Is this something that you want to explore? Should we bring back the hobby hunt? Oh my God, let's do group singing lessons.

I'm doing it for the podcast. Like we should record me singing prior to a lesson. Yeah. And then I'll obviously go to one and then see if I improve. Well, if you're going to do it, I'm going to do it. Yeah. Because I've got the baritone, you've got the tenor. Like I can go low.

I'm more an alto. Soprano? Are you? Because that's a bit high, I think. I don't know. Oh, sorry. Okay, I'd be a tenor, you'd be an alto. I guess.

I actually don't know. I won't know until I go to lessons. Well, that could be a good idea. I reckon the thought process behind this, every time I'm drunk, I'm obviously singing at a party or whatever, and I think to myself, my voice is beautiful. Yeah. With the right amount of training, I could be a star. Well, you know what happens when Mitch gets drunk, he makes us all sit in his living room

and watch old music videos. So you must watch and go, I can do it. No one's there against their will. It's always like, put this on next. It's actually the best thing in the world. It's very fun. Maybe that's where you get the confidence from. I don't know.

But I'm open to doing it as a hobby hunt. Okay. Well, TBC on my hobby hunt singing. This is funny. I said I'm keen. Yeah. Oh, you're keen? Is it TBC or no?

Well, TBC is in like we have to talk off the cloud. If you want to do it, we can do it. But can we get them in here? Oh, God. Really? Well, it just makes things easier. Should I call my ex? Oh, my God. Yes. Let's do that. Oh, my God. Now that. That's good. That I'd be into. Oh, I don't think so. Oh, my God. Are you on

talking terms? No. I don't think I ever met this one, did I? No. Nothing bad. Like, no bad blood, but we don't need to speak. No. Like, I ran into him in the street not too long ago and we were civil. We said hello. How you been? Yeah. That sort of thing. But, but we don't need to speak. No. Like, I ran into him in the street not too long ago, and we were civil. We said hello. How you been? Yeah. That sort of thing. But no, we don't text or anything.

Yeah, okay. Yeah. Well, maybe. That could be a nice little reunion. Yeah, that could be cute. Yeah. There's got to be other singing teachers out there. Maybe.

But we want a queer-friendly singing teacher. Yeah. You know? I don't know if they'd be homophobic. They're singing teachers. Most of their clientele would be gay as fuck. You're right. They go hand in hand.

All right, let's do it. I'm down. Really? Yeah, I'm down. Lock it in. We're right. They go hand in hand. All right, let's do it. I'm down. Really? Yeah, I'm down. Lock it in. We're doing another hobby hunt. Singing lessons. Exciting.

Can't wait. We'll put it on the business, no doubt. Obviously. Of course. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Now, coming up on Wednesday, it won't be my birthday, but I suppose we could call it a birthday

week, couldn't we? I'd actually argue that we don't even say it anymore. Nah, Thursday to Thursday, seven day, that's my birthday week. Yeah. So Wednesday will count as well. I think he deserves it. Okay, so you can have it, sure. Great. Well, episode 222 is out on Wednesday. That's kind of a special number, isn't it? Yeah, we should get AstroTash

on. There's surely some astrology in there. Nah, let's not get out. No, no. 2-2-2. But coming up in that episode, one of my main pop girls has let me down. And I'm not talking about Katy Perry. Oh, I was going to say Katie. I love that that's who springs to mind.

Katie's let the world down. It'd be so first thought if you said Katy Perry. I think the world let her down. No, I think her music was terrible. Everyone's so hard on her. No, it was terrible. It was pretty bad. She worked with a sex abuser.

That's true. Read the room, Katy. You know what? Woman's World, it is a horrible song. But I've realised as I age that I give myself permission to enjoy horrible things. It's a terrible song and yet I like it. No, I like it and I think it sounds fun. And it's a great dance song, but I think she needed more from her comeback.

Oh, absolutely. And I can see in her eyes that I think she's feeling a bit stressed. Have you seen interviews in press with Katie? No. Apparently she's failing. Yeah, she's not doing well. Okay, so another pop girlie. Yes, that's right.

Okay, interesting. Also, I have a task for Jenna coming up. Oh, her annual task. Yeah, you've got one in your contract per year. And I have a challenge for you, actually. Oh, what? Her annual task. Yeah, you've got one in your contract per year. And I have a challenge for you, actually. Oh, it's come around again. I need you to rise to the occasion because I've been working overtime, as says Mitchell, and I just think you need to pull your weight.

Says you. No. I got that cake for you, Mitchell, and Jed is now claiming she got it. I got the cake. Shall we do my, is it just me? Actually, before we do that, can I just take this time to address something? Yeah. This is not an all staff meeting.

It's an all team meeting. Oh, wow. Us and the idiots. Wow. We need to address something. Yeah, we do. Our merch. There's been an issue.

If you are yet to buy our merch, don't let this deter you because the issue has been sorted. Yeah. But if you already have gotten your hands on some of our merch, listen up because this might apply to you, especially the hoodies and the jumpers. So, fuck me. Every time we do merch, something goes wrong, doesn't it? Yeah.

Listen, this isn't our best work, but it wasn't our fault. No, it wasn't. Normally when we do merch, we get samples before it goes on sale so that we can get our eyes on it, be like, yep, we like it, cool. This time around we were told, oh, it's going to be AS Colour, which is a good fucking brand. It's good quality. Great basics, yeah.

And everyone was excited, so we were like, fuck it, put it on sale. A couple of weeks ago, Mitch, Jen and I received our merch. Very late. We looked at it and said, what for the love of God is that? What the heck? The printing quality on the jumpers and the hoodies, it was just shocking. It was so bad. Pathetic.

Especially my beautiful Ears Tour inspired design. It has, what, like five or six photos of us. And it's so poor quality that you can't even see our eyes. It looks like someone's run it through the dryer for four days straight and it's melted the print. It was just such shit quality, even the clothes itself, really thin shit material. And we were like, this is not what we agreed to.

No. And so we spoke to our merch team and, to be honest, they were as shocked as us. They were like, what? What the fuck? That's not what was meant to happen. It was meant to be the good stuff. AS colour. So apparently the printer went

rogue, went a bit stingy on you all and sent you cheap shitty garments. The t-shirts, all that stuff, absolutely fine. Perfect. It's only the hoodies and the jumpers which makes no sense because the t-shirts are cheaper and yet the print looks beautiful and then the more expensive hoodies and stuff

they turned out really shit. And so it's been sorted. If you buy a hoodie or jumper henceforth, it'll be gorgeous quality. The print will be beautiful. No problems. However, if you've already received one, just letting you know you are allowed to jump on our website,

coupleofmitches.com.au, go to the Contact Us section and you can arrange an exchange. We made sure that was an option. I was like, go to the contact us section and you can arrange an exchange. Correct. We made sure that was an option. I was like, what about all the people that already have their hands on this bullshit, disgusting quality merch? We wanted to make sure that it was all fair, so you can do it. And we want you to be happy with the merch you buy, because you're supporting us at the

end of the day. And do you know what's kind of cute? We've had not one complaint from the people that have received this horrible quality merch so far. So obviously they don't mind. They're happy with it. But we're here to tell you that you deserve better. You deserve better. So jump on and exchange

it if you've got one already and it looks a bit horrible. I mean, I got mine and it just, it was, I couldn't even make out who it was. No. Yeah. It was that bad. I might post in the group because we seem to celebrate all of our merch fuck-ups. Remember the typo on our very first jumpumper Rage? What was that? I don't remember that.

It said Bill Yans. Oh yeah, but that made it a rare piece of merch. And then we just discounted it. Yeah, we sold the misspelt merch at its own rate. I bought it. That was very on brand. But this one, I'm not as entertained by this. We were livid. But I may as well post it in the group. I'll show you the

difference in quality. It's just so bad. Really bad. I don't know if Jenna's Mona Lisa or Mona Jenna was great quality all year round. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's an amazing poster. Absolutely. There's actually no issues with anything else. No.

Like the posters, the cups, the fucking shirts, long sleeve, short sleeve, what have you. They're all fine. It's only the, ironically, more expensive jumpers and hoodies. But it's all been sorted. Yeah. Make sure you get an exchange. If you got one of the shit ones, we apologise. Oh, we're sorry, idiots.

If you bought it and thought, God, this isn't really like them, it's not. We did not know that that was happening and we adore you and love the support and you can refund on the website if you want. And if you buy merch from this point on, the best quality there is. Not refund, exchange. Exchange, of course. Yeah, sorry. No refund. Yeah, you bet merch from this point on, the best quality there is. Not refund. Exchange. Exchange, of course. No refund. You bet your ass I went full Mitchell Coombs on those people.

It's been sorted, idiots. I've been terrified. That would be shocking. And birthday week as well. He's been very busy. All right. Shall we do my agent? Yes, please.

Hit us with it. Go, Bradley. Is it just me? Hit us with it. Go, Bradley. Is it just me? Oh! Is it chic to wear a winter coat in winter on holidays but cringe to wear a winter coat in winter at home?

Wait, in the house? What do you mean? Anywhere. Anywhere. Define winter coat. Long trench. Trench coat. Thick.

Wool. Buttons. I'm talking Inspector Gadget. We're talking like full detective. To me, this is just me talking. I don't want to throw shade against anyone. But there's nothing hotter than being in Europe or being on holiday in America or wherever you're holidaying in winter wearing a beautiful chic coat.

It's hot. New York at Christmas time. It's Parisian. New York in Christmas time. Give me a cigarette. I don't even smoke. But I want to sit there in a trench coat with a glass of wine and just admire the city I'm in. But then when I wear the same coat here

in Australia in winter, I feel like an imposter. I feel frumpy. I don't know where to put my hands. You may as well tag Sean next time because he wears all that shit all day, every day. I feel like Sean suits it. No, I think it's cringe. Even Sean? I go, where are you going? Oh, really?

Yes, I go, why are you wearing a coat? You're at home. Coats are for travel. Coats are for leisure. You want to be mysterious. You don't want to catch your death out there. It's been fucking chilly this winter. It's very chilly.

It's been a very bitter winter in Sydney. Bitter. Buy a puffer. Barely know it. Buy a puffer. Get a sweater like the rest of us, for God's sake. I actually do. I am quite fond of my puffer. Barely know her. Buy a puffer. Get a sweater like the rest of us, for God's sake. I actually do. I am quite fond of my puffer.

I am too. I love my puffer. I don't not wear coats because I think they're cringe. It's because they don't suit me. Like the long ass trenches. Yeah. I'm not a tall person. It looks like I'm playing dress ups in my dad's clothes.

In Spencer Gatcher. They're so big on me. Yeah, yeah. See, I wore one around Europe and I look back at those photos and I think, who is that man? He's mysterious. He fucks. He's clothes. They're so big on me. Yeah, yeah. See, I wore one around Europe and I look back at those photos and I think, who is that man? He's mysterious. He fucks. He's fun.

He's wealthy. Look at the money. It was from H&M. It was like 30 pounds on sale. But I've tried to wear that here in winter and I look at myself and I just look like an idiot. I'm like, who is that fool wearing a coat? Like, you're at home. Mate, you're at work.

It depends. Are you going to many formal-ish occasions? Maybe that's it. Maybe I just haven't worked out a way to incorporate my coat into my lifestyle. I don't feel the need to because everywhere I go, it's very casual. I could get away with a hoodie. What if I wear It's Your Birthday Dinner Tomorrow and you tell me if it looks right? I'm going to wear an outfit I wore exactly to Europe and I'm just going to see how it works.

Do it. And it's a gorgeous venue you're holding it at, so the trench coat will fit right in. You're going to look so out of place. I know. I'm going to the local bolo. It's so daggy and tragic and that's why I love it. That's my point, Mitchell.

You're walking around the streets of Rome in a trench coat. There's going to be all these mums in cigarette-stained trackies and you're there fucking dressed for a dawn service. You and Sean. See, you get my point. You get my point. It doesn't make sense in this country where you live. Don't wear your trench coats here in Australia.

It's cringe to me. I'm sorry. I don't know. Are you like me where you run a bit hot? Oh, yeah, all the time. Some people probably need them for just actual warmth. Yeah, I'm the opposite. I run very cold. True. Well, I'm not shaming. Some people probably need them for just actual warmth. Yeah, I'm the opposite. I run very cold.

True. Well, I'm not shaming. They're skinny. Good for fucking you. I'm a porky boy. I need to have a jacket. No, I'm saying you're thin. Oh, yeah, true.

I just run hot and gentle. Pre-menopause at 28. Jenna, I feel like you're one of those cringe people that can wear a coat in life at home. Yeah, I do. Look at her right now. She's practically shivering her tits off. I'm really close. She's like, I've got a skivvy on and this. See, I'd never be caught dead in that outfit

but that's got nothing to do with the cringe of the trench coat. Have I ever seen you in shorts, Jenna? I don't think I have. No, I have. Remember when you played for the Kiss Netball team? Oh, yeah. Really? I saw Jenna in shorts. What were you doing watching the Kiss Netball team? Having a perv, were you? No, well, we won. We won. They put photos up and I saw Jenna's shorts. What were you doing watching the Kith netball team? Having a perv, were you?

No, well, we won. We won. They won and they put photos up and I saw Jenna's like, she's got pins on her. Yeah, right. Anyway, I will try my best to wear a winter coat, but I just can't do it. It's the same way that like what happens in travel,

like what happens on – you act different when you're travelling, I feel. I do it too. I'm a different person when I'm travelling. My mindset, I have a wallet. I don't have a wallet in everyday life when I feel. I do it too. I'm a different person when I'm travelling. My mindset, I have a wallet. I don't have a wallet in everyday life when I travel. I've got a wallet. I'll eat whatever I want when I'm travelling.

But when I'm at home, you've got to watch things because you're living your life. I don't think anyone's paying that much attention to you, to be honest. If you wore a coat, no one would second guess it. So it's coming from within is what you're saying? Probably. But if you don't want to wear a coat, then don't bloody wear a coat. Tomorrow night at the Bolo, I'm going to wear a coat. Yeah, you have to.

And a monocle. I do have one though, don't ask why. Oh God. It's hard to keep in because you've got a squid just one eye the whole time. However you've ended the monocle, it'll just be on the fly. Dumbest piece of accessory ever. Make a very respectable Monopoly man now that I think of it. I would.

That should be your next Halloween costume. You know Mr Monopoly doesn now that I think of it. I would. That should be your next Halloween costume. You know Mr. Monopoly doesn't have a monocle? Oh, yeah. It's a Mandela effect. Oh, yeah. He doesn't. I remember seeing that. But he does.

And there's one about Pikachu not having a lightning bolt at a certain point or something. Mandela effects. Jenna, can you Google that? The Pikachu Mandela effect. I've got a laptop if you want me to. Mitch has a laptop. I can do it. I mean, the laptop.

We're not sharing my laptop. We've just got laptop if you want me to. Mitch has a laptop. He can. I can do it. I mean, the laptop. We're not sharing my laptop. We've just got a tweet in. Jenny, I meant to bring yours. Oh, happiest of birthdays. This is nice. From Kerri-Ann Kennelly to gorgeous Mitchell Coombs. That's so sweet. That's so nice.

Yeah. Oh, she's just tweeted again. Bag it. Oh. Well, that's just, that's Kerri-Ann, huh? To a T. Got something on your mind? Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show.

All right, let's do an Is It Just You now. This is, oh dear. Oh no. What? Oh my God, what? I forgot to get one today. Oh, for God's sake. I actually have forgotten.

You have one job. I knew it was coming too and I didn't even think. Do you want to just cold call someone off the urgent phone? I can just get someone from the ARN staff room. No. Yeah, I can get someone. They're not getting one of our fucking tote bags. No.

No, they don't need to get it. What do you mean cold call someone? As in we're not warning them. Oh. I'll go through our text messages. Yeah, I can do that. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. There's no mouse for this computer anymore.

Here you go. I can't dial it. Oh, just call them on that phone. Just go. Just get the mouse. Ow. You've really got to start from scratch with him sometimes. Oh, a non-Mitchell birthday.

There's no mouse. Go to the other side of the desk where it is. It doesn't work. They're not connected anymore. Yes, it is. If you press F1, it switches to the first screen. There you go. But then that doesn't... Just swing the screen around.

Fucking hate this. All right, what's the mobile number? 04. And by the way, they've not given... Consent. They've not given their name or anything. I hope they answer. It was just the last person that texted us on the IJM hotline.

Hello, Naomi speaking. Hi, Naomi. It's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna from the hit podcast, Is It Just Me? How are you? Oh, good. Thank you. How are you? Good.

Sorry to put you on the spot, darling, but Mitchell fucking Cherry forgot to organize an Is It Just Me caller. So I was like, well, we're just going to call the last person that texted us. Are you ready to go? I am ready. Oh, my God. Hey, whereabouts in the world person that texted us. Are you ready to go? I am ready. Oh, my God. Hey, whereabouts in the world are you?

I'm in Kilsife, Victoria. Where was it? I didn't catch that. Kilsife. Kilsife. Yeah, it's like eastern suburbs, Croydon. Oh, lovely. And what have we interrupted you doing?

Making a bed. Nice. Life admin. Nice. How long have you listened to the show? Since I first heard your ad when you were doing the, oh, who was that old radio guy you interviewed? John Hawes. John Hawes?

Yes, I heard it come through and it was a suggestion from Spotify and I've been listening to it since then. God loves Spotify. I didn't know they pushed that one out for us. They did a long time ago. Thanks, Spotify. Yeah, love that. All right, well, let's get you on.

We don't know what your is-is-just-you is, so if this is in any form offensive or derogatory, is-is-just-me proprietary limited distance ourselves? I know what it is. I've read the text. Naomi, I back it. Let's go. Go, Naomi. Is it just me, or?

Do people who hang masks from their windscreens, virtue signalling, just annoy you. As in like COVID masks, right? Yes, yes. I've not seen this. You mean from their rear vision mirror? Yeah, yeah, in their cars, the disposable ones that are meant to go in the bin when you finish using them. Oh, why are people doing this? in the bin when you finish using it. Oh, why are people doing this?

I think some people, like maybe my neighbour, like to let people know that they're working with people in that kind of facility. So it's like a baby on board sign? Ah. Yeah. What, old people in my life? Is that what it's saying?

And you know compromise maybe? Like maybe people who need it. Don't cough near me. Yeah. But also you're so right, Cathy. Naomi. Naomi. Naomi.

You're so true. It's also like, dude, they expire after one use. They're disposable for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, like we know you work, you know, you're, what do they call it? Like a- Frontline. Frontline worker.

Yeah. Sorry, you've caught me on the hop, so I'm all nervous because I'm talking to you guys too. That's fine. I didn't know that this was a thing that they hang masks, COVID masks to signify something. And what's your beef with it exactly? Well, I know you're not a nurse because I am. I know you don't work in a hospital because I am.

And then your neighbour in particular. Yeah. We don't throw them out. Yeah, I've noticed it's at all because I am. And then your neighbour in particular? Yeah. We might have to throw them out. Yeah, I've noticed it with a few ringing from my workers. Well, you don't know. The neighbour might be immunocompromised. Why don't you pop over right now and ask them, what's wrong with you?

Yeah, why don't you cough in their mouth live on the podcast? That'd be fun. Well, you know what? It reminds me of those My Family stickers that were on the back of every Honda Odyssey in the country. My mum had them too. Of course.

Totally. That doesn't surprise me one bit. But then she saw a 60 Minutes expose where it was like young family killed and the murderer knew how many to kill because it was on the back of her goddamn CRV. So mum ripped those things off. Did your mum have one for the dog as well? Hamish, yeah. We had one for Hamish.

I know. And also the mum with bub. It's like, do you want a baby on board? Baby on board. It's like, do we want to tell people there's a baby on the board? The creeps would be like, yeah, I'll follow that guy. Yeah, I always question the purpose of a baby on board sign. Is it meant to make someone think, I was going to rear-end you,

but no, I won't. Apparently it's if they're in an accident and trapped, they know that there's a baby in there. That means, Abel, we had this conversation before. I feel like Jenna's shut me down before. I think you'd tell the paramedic when you called them, like, there's a baby on board. I don't think the paramedics are looking.

They'd probably guess from the car seat. Yeah, exactly right. But what if it's beneath rubble, Naomi? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I deal with the other end. What do you deal with? Well, just emergency stuff, yeah. I'm going to with the other end. What do you deal with?

Just emergency stuff, yeah. I'm going to bring the remains in. Good on you. Good on you, Naomi. No, you're doing the Lord's work. Sorry to interrupt your busy work day, but Jenna didn't plan the call. Shut up. He was busy organising my cake, wasn't he, Jenna?

See, you rewrite history, Jenna. It works. People believe it and they believe me because I'm a man. Oh, Matt. Thank you. Naomi, thanks so much for dropping everything for us. They believe me because I'm a man. Oh, Matt. Thank you. Naomi, thanks so much for dropping everything for us. Thank you. Jenna, we'll send you one of our tote bags. So make sure you hit her up.

Yeah, I will do. Thank you so much. And thanks for putting up with my nervousness too. You don't seem nervous at all, darling. You're a star. Yeah. Oh, thank you. I just love listening to you guys.

I just keep going. You're just all so brilliant. Well, we're not actually. Today we're announcing we're cancelling the show. No, we're not. What would you do if we cancelled, to be honest? Would you just be so hurt? I think I'd take it personally, yeah.

I think people would. I did when the Alright Hay one was cancelled. Oh, were you a trash bag too? Yeah. I just love it. I just absolutely love it. It's so nice to hear it. Yeah, intelligent people just have it. Oh, that's nice.

What podcast are you listening to, Zara? What's the hearing alternative of should have gone to Specsavers? Should have gone to Fred Hollows. He's the eyes. Oh, yeah, he's the eyes. Who's the ear? Who looks after different people? Dawn Fraser, I think she's the spokesperson for it.

Maybe. Charlie Teo or some shit. Anyway, Naomi, love you very much. Love you, Naomi. See you, hon. Love you guys. Thank you. Sorry, Tano.

Goodbye. See you. Bye. What a sweetheart. Now, listen, if you want to come on the show with an Is It Just Me, it could happen at any moment. You're putting yourself on the line. We could just ring you at the drop of a hat.

All you've got to do is message us at couple of Mitch's. Correct. Or send us a text. This is the number. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2. Send us a text, folks. That is us.

Mitchell, birthday episode complete. Happy birthday. Thank you. And we'll see you tomorrow night, personally. Obviously, you're not invited, idiots. Media only. But the photo wall will be there. I don't think so.

No. A photo wall? Sean called the bowling club and tried to reserve a table. They were like, nah, just rock up early. They refused to put out a reserve sign. Do they even have reserve signs? So now I have to walk down there at fucking 3pm or something and just wait for everyone so I can bag the table.

What time does it start? I don't know. I'm just kind of winging it here. It's only a 28th. I'm getting my Botox at 2pm, so I'm going to be really red raw. Oh yeah, you'll have the little scabs. Yeah, I will. I will.

I'll be shocked. No one will notice because they'll be looking at your gorgeous coat. Yes. I thought you were going to say my gorgeous youthful boyfriend. Oh, Stephen's coming. I thought that would teach you up for that. Yeah, Stephen's coming. Okay, good.

Yeah, bless Stephen. Got you a gift. Did he? He loves to buy you gifts. Huh? He bought you a gift before he even knew you. Remember he bought you a wax koala? In fact, every time I've seen him, he's given me something.

I really should fucking return the favor. His love language is gifts. He's never gifted me anything. He hasn't. Nobody really hates you. He's an angel on earth, but he still sees through your shit. 100%. He's very intuitive, very smart. He had an ATAR, which is, for the international listeners,

the end of year scoring system in New South Wales. Like 98. Oh, I didn't know the scores had come out this year yet. That was a good one. Thank you. Very funny. You're at your birthday. That was a good one.

Still tack sharp as ever at 28. Very funny. All right, let's go. We'll see you all in a week. In a couple of days, actually. Yes, we'll catch you on Wednesday, idiots. Thanks for listening. Bye-bye.

See you. 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's done, but it is not. I've made a mistake.

Why? We know. Well, because I didn't organise it, is it just you, Cora? Yeah. I texted my producer, Grace, and said, think of an idiom now. And she sent options. Oh, she thought that you were asking her to produce you. Yeah.

Oh. She sent a list of talking points. This is how good my producer is. She's like chat GBT. Well, I'll be interviewing someone and I'll message and be like, what was their last album? So she'll then research and send it to me on the fly. She's very gorgeous.

I hope that that's not how you speak to her normally. Think of it in a gym now. No, because it hit me. Fuck, I haven't done it. I haven't got a caller. I forgot today. So I text her and said, just like think of one. And then so I have to get her in to read one.

I think my solution was much better. Just call someone that's already texted us. Yeah. And it worked. No, but I want her to come in and do one of these because I said to her she could. Okay, of course. So she's coming at some point. So just be prepared for a surprise birthday guest.

It's not a surprise, mate. Just be prepared for a birthday guest. All right, cool. She sent me options. That is gorgeous. That's really nice. Are you not telling us because you're going to run them at sunset? They're actually very good.

Oh, she's here. She's here. Come in. Come in. Hi, Barb. Grace Guard. Producer Grace, take a seat here. I can't believe you sent him a list of is it just me's and he spoke to you like that.

Think of it as Jim now. I'm sorry. He did. Grace produces my many radio shows. She's also a good personal friend. Thank you. She looks Think of it as Jim now. I'm sorry. He did. Grace produces my many radio shows. She's also a good personal friend. Thank you. She looks great today as well in red. Well, we had a thing with important people, so I wanted to look nice.

That's why I didn't get the caller because we had to schmooze clients that sell within the radio station. So I had to go and talk to people. And in fact, I was schmoozing about radio and they brought up the podcast. Oh, did they? Yeah. Remember we did, you may have heard these idiots, but we did a Disaronno ad about the liqueur.

I think they're still running, yeah. Oh, the almond amaretto sours. Yes. I just want to say, Disaronno, so happy. They love the almond liqueur. They loved working with you guys. Fuck, yeah. First time I've ever been paid to drink on the job, Disaronno.

I'm down. Grace and I had a bunch of finger sandwiches today. We did. I actually had a bunch of the mini quiches. Oh, they still have some? We should save them for night because we're here until 10pm. There's heaps around there. Yeah, we'll be eating those.

Oh, I thought that was a birthday spread for me. Yeah. No, it wasn't. I told Mitchell it was. Well, Grace, why don't you eat these Ijjums, things you've had thoughts for a while? Well, you asked me and then you said, can you think of one and then didn't reply. So I just wrote mostly a stream of consciousness. How many are there? Is that really how many ideas you can pump out of a and then didn't reply. So I just wrote mostly a stream of consciousness. Okay. How many are there?

Is that really how many ideas you can pump out of a drop of a hat? That's fucking impressive. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven idjams. Wow. Holy fuck. Wow. Is that too many? Did I go too hard?

Maybe ten too many. I know. I bet he's going to use them though. I know. Well, why don't you do a couple of your favourite? A couple? Just do one or your favourite or we can burn through them. We call them idjims on the fly when they're really quick, fleeting thoughts.

Is it just me or should printers have evolved? Oh, hang on. It's Bradley clocked off for the day. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Is it just me or? Should printers have evolved far more technologically at this point in time because they are the worst piece of technology? If it breaks, it's gone for the whole day.

I don't know how to fix it. There's too many drawers. I don't know where paper goes. Ink? Why are we still using ink? Also, they have 3D printers, so why can't they fix these ones? I don't believe in them. 3D printers?

I'm yet to see one work, and I don't think even if I saw it, I'd believe it. Yeah, and also people that are so proud of their 3D printed items, they hand them to you and they're always really shit. They're just so brittle and they're never perfect and it's kind of like, this is a chihuahua that I printed and it's kind of got like little fraying bits of plastic that you've got to pick off. Like it's gross. What about that lamp that one of our listeners printed for us

and I couldn't wrap my head around it. I was like, you printed a lamp? That was amazing. That was cute, actually. I got given a little, like, 3D printed photo as an engagement gift, which is beautiful in theory, but in practice, it's like, you know if you look at a photo of yourself and it's in, like, reverse? They flip it?

Yeah. It looks like the colours are all inverted, so your teeth are like little nubs. When you accidentally press the button on your phone too many times. And it's nice if you hold it up to a lamp, but how often are you holding up this little plastic bit to a lamp? So true. True.

Alright, what's more? What's more? Just burn through them. Sorry, sorry. Is it just me, or should utensils have more than one purpose? Melon ballers are fucked. Yes. What are fucked?

Melon ballers. We had that conversation this morning. I had it this morning. I had it this morning. I think that if you're going to have a utensil in a drawer, it needs to have more than one purpose. Like a spore. It's wasting space.

How often am I balling melons? You know what I mean? Yeah. I just can't wrap my head around it. Well, you could use that as an ice cream. Scooper? Someone said that this morning. But then what else?

Exactly. That's about it really. Nothing. Is it just me or do you hate wedding merch? I don't want a beer cooler with your name on it. Oh yeah, I agree. When my sister got married, they said, will you be in the grooms, you'll be a groomsman. And it was a custom case of beer and it was written on the beer.

Do you drink beer? No, I don't even drink. Yeah. What? And I would have rather be a bridesmaid. You don't drink? Not really, barely. Okay. When was the last time you saw me drink?

I mean, literally last week. I can't remember which episode you were saying, you need to invite me to more things. I'm in my social media. I drink again. And now it's, oh, I don't drink. You know I changed my mind. Have you been lying to Grace? I barely drink.

When have you seen me drink? I've seen you have maybe two drinks. Yeah. Like, I don't go over two or three or one cocktail. Yeah, yeah. Or a wine, you know? Yeah. So I guess, okay, I do drink.

You do. But I'm smart about it. You know, I actually had this conversation with my wife this morning. We were talking about there's a couple of work events we've got coming up. And I was like, I think I'm going to follow Mitch's lead in terms of having drinks. Yeah. Because like I always get a bit excited and then I'm like, oh, I've had too many. And they're free.

Yeah, they're free. I'm like, well, you know, cost of living. I need to make the most of this. Yeah. But you're smart and I think I need to follow you. Thank you. It's so nice to be complimented on this show and not called stupid. Nothing else.

That's really it. It's mostly stupid. Is it just me or is white collar crime kind of okay? Oh, my God. We spoke about this on the show. That's actually good. No, you and I spoke about this. What is white collar crime kind of okay? Oh, my God. We spoke about this on the show. That's actually good. You and I spoke about this. What's white collar crime?

It's when it's like financial. Fraud, like tax evasion, embezzlement of money, wire fraud. It's kind of like you're smart, but you do crime. I feel like when I hear those stories, I'm like, you deserve that. You gave it a crack. Well done. I'm well done. Insider trading, like everything else is who you know.

Why not this? And insider trading sounds kind of fun. It's a victimless crime. But also we all insider trade. What does that mean? It's just called gossip. I mean, we do, right? I think it's a bit different.

Well, there's no money involved. I mean, I guess there is. What am I talking about? Don't worry. It's a fantastic question. Okay, do one more. Do one more. It's been great. Is Okay, do one more. Do one more. It's been great.

Is it just me or do you have no desire to go to space? Even if I was offered an all expenses paid trip to space, I'd prefer to go to like Thailand or something. Yeah, true. It depends how long it takes to get there. If it's a long haul, fuck that. Yeah. I think Mitch would rather space over Bali though.

Can I speak for you confidently? Maybe. Yeah. It depends. It depends on how long the flight is. Yeah. Yeah, but there's nothing to do in space. What, just look out the window?

Yeah. And also, like, it's probably so vast and so big and so black, like, you wouldn't see anything. Yeah, but I think the no gravity thing does excite me. I wouldn't mind having a glance at Earth from afar and then I'd be like, take me home. That's all I need to see. I don't give a fuck about Mercury and whatnot. Just go on YouTube.

Exactly. I agree. Zero gravity exists on Earth. Yeah, that's true. about Mercury and whatnot. Just go on YouTube. Exactly. I agree. Zero gravity exists on Earth. Yeah, that's true. How do you think they train astronauts? Yeah. They can do it? Yeah.

Hobby hunt. We're going for a float. Singing in space. Grace, thank you so much. That was incredible. Thank you for having me. Thanks, Grace. Pleasure.

Thank you. You know what's going to happen now? You're going to forget which ones to use and you're going to read from her list in a few weeks when you run out of ideas. Well, she didn't do all of them. So, okay, here's the thing. Over the next month, I'm going to incorporate one idiom that is Grace's and you're going to read from her list in a few weeks when you run out of ideas. Well, she didn't do all of them. So, okay, here's the thing. Over the next month, I'm going to incorporate one idiom that is Grace's and you need to try and pick

if it's the Grace idiom. That's a challenge. Thanks, Grace. Okay. I reckon I could pick it. Well, we'll see. Give me a month. All right, I will.

Isn't she the best? I love her. She is. She's very good. She's very good. And to save those to my notes, ladies and gentlemen. So, Jenna, I don't know if Mitch updated you, but we've lost a team member here at Is It Just Me HQ. Yeah.

What? Who? Sam, thyroid cancer. That's not funny. Oh, sorry. I don't mean dead. Oh, my God. You're such a good actor.

But some... And you were so blase about it. Yeah, Sam, thyroid cancer. Oh, my God. I just recorded a podcast with him a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, he's fine. No, no one. He was hiding it from you with a wig.

No one's dead, but someone's handed in their resignation. Oh, who is it? Oscar, after the way I spoke to him allegedly. No. No, moderator Callum. What? Why? Yeah, he's quit.

Why? He doesn't want to moderate anymore. He did. He said he's too busy. Well, to be fair, we inspired his interest in radio. He's now working in radio. He's doing very soon. He said, like, I've got, to be fair, we inspired his interest in radio. He's now working in radio. He's doing very seriously. He said, like, I've got three jobs.

I don't have time for this anymore. And I was like, fuck, of course. I didn't know that it was taking up that much time at all. If it's too much, then go. That's so fine. It's not like, you know, we all have five jobs and do it, but it's all good. But yeah, I was like, yeah, no, that's so fine. I actually kind of forgot that we still had moderators.

Remember the moderator games from like 2021? Yeah, I think we need to bring them back. Well, clearly we're in need now. Who was that other girl who got it with him? Steph. She still moderates, I think, or did she? Yeah. No, I did a check-in with her recently saying,

I'm just checking, are you still fine to keep doing this job? She was like, yeah, I'd love to. Of course, I love being a moderator. Okay. And God, I'm just an awful employer. I didn't even think to check in with Callum. This whole time he's been bloody working like a dog, trying to moderate and do his actual job.

Well, no, because we talked to him. We've met him. He's been on the show. He's a sweetheart. We love him. So we talked to him often, actually. But I did not even check to see if he was all right. Oh, how disappointing.

Well, now we have a vacancy. Maybe we should bring back the moderator games. Oh, my God. I think we bring back the moderator games. For those who don't know what they are, is we held our version of the Holympic Games. I thought it was more Hunger Games adjacent. Well, no, I'm just trying not to say Olympic Games. Yeah, but what about L-lympics?

Oh, L-lympics. Remember last week we said we'd call them the L-lympics. But you call it L. Yeah, L short. She's got a limp. L-lympics. L's limp pics. She just posted a photo of her in a moon boot.

L-lympics. L on crutches. L from pics. Elle on crutches. Elle from Stranger Things on crutches. That's how we get around it. We did the moderator games, which is basically, yeah, like the Hunger Games. So, okay, let's do an open casting now. It was such a fucking stupid concept because they were competing. Yeah.

We had to eliminate people from the games. They were competing for an unpaid task. I actually think that's a bit unethical. A bit? Yeah. Okay, here's the thing. And I love how he felt that he had to resign and ask permission to stop doing it. I was like, yeah, it's fine. What a moderator is. We have a Facebook group. Now, I've had people this week message me and go,

how the fuck did I not know that you had a Facebook group? Because I love it. I get so much more extra info and it's so engaging. Yeah, our idiots are amazing. How are they not in the loop about the group? They didn't know. I don't know. I don't know.

We have a Facebook group. Do they not listen? Idiots. Go and join. As in idiots in a good way. Our idiots or dumb fuck. Idiots in the derogatory sense. Dumb fuck.

Okay. So Endurant Idiots. E-N-D-U-R-A-N-T. I have to spell it because it's not actually a real word. As we've discovered. But there's a link in the show notes anyway. Yeah. So just wherever you're listening on, click info, show notes, tap it, go join it.

Moderators are people that volunteer their time. I mean, there's not really much time. You just have to approve posts that go in. If there's something that goes in, there's a guest. If there's someone that requests to join as a member, you can approve or decline. But I don't – there's not any salacious shit being written in the group. So it's really not a hard job. In fact, I moderate half the time.

If I'm the first to see the notification, I'll do it. Same. As do I. We all do it. So it's not a hard job. This isn't me throwing shade at Callum. If he wants to bow out, that's fine. He's had a good fucking three year stint in the role. Yeah, that's true. He's done very well. Can I just suggest, can we send Callum a tote bag just to say thank you? Oh, we better.

Jenna? Yeah, of course. One of the limited ones. Yeah. I don't have access to the non-limited ones. Okay, great. The scabby ones. I mean, they were tissue until Mitchell got involved. Is this a tote bag? It was a fucking napkin. Imagine if it was one of those little velvet jewellery purses

that we thought it was a tote bag. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, and you moderate the group. You get to be involved. You get to talk to us. It's very fun. If you would like to apply for our moderator role, the moderator games will be back. However, they won't be as ruthless. We're more ethical now.

We have to think of a mechanic, but we will bring them back. When you say we, this is your baby. I'm looking at Jenna. No, no, this is yours. Well, what if we did the moderator games, but we killed the people that didn't get it? Oh. I quite like that.

Hmm. I think that's it. Oh. I quite like that. Hmm. I think that's it. Are you feeling all right today? You're saying some weird shit. Oh, am I? Oh, well, it's going to be a 14-hour day for me, everyone. And I had a 13-hour day yesterday. So, yeah, it's really many jobs.

But it's not about you today. It's Mitchell Coombs' birthday. I've been told, yeah. Sorry. I've been told that. Would the mystified mind have had a sliver of my koala cake? Oh, please have it. How am I going to eat it, Jenna?

There's no forks or anything. She wouldn't know. I bought it. You did not buy it. Yeah, and that's right. And Jenna was meant to get a koala, I remember. I was in the meeting. Yeah, yeah.

Because I do every week. That's where she went wrong. I said, Jenna, I'm frantic this week, as I am every week. Can you get a koala? But she heard koala. Yeah. I thought you meant a koala. Oh, can I have a slither too?

Yeah, okay. What flavour? Just beware of sprinkles. They're fucking going everywhere. Can you slice it? On your birthday? Well, it would just be easier than twisting it across. Can you slice me one too?

Sure. We'll piss off the iHeartRadio people. How are we going to eat it? I need a fork or something. Just use your hands. I'm a lady. Would you like me to go and get some forks? No.

I'm just worried about these fucking sprinkles. The vacuum can come. You say that, but then we're going to get a fucking email tomorrow. Why did you give me the biggest fucking slice? I feel like that was pointed. That was for her, and this is the biggest slice. Here. Thanks.

Oh, but it looks fucking dense. Delightful. All right, so, Jenna, why don't you tell the story that I told you about how I found it? No, I'll let you. This is the most elaborate gaslighting dinner ever. Oh, my God, it smells lovely. Okay, I'll keep talking while you eat my cake, sure. Yeah.

Listen to the crunch of those sprinkles. I like it. So it's a double-layered vanilla sponge filled with jam topped with sprinkles and edible decorations. I'm having one of these. Oh, it's huge. Wow. Oh, look at that. Oh, I love jam.

That doesn't look edible. Imagine if that wasn't the edible decoration and I just bite into it. Does that look edible to you? No, it's sharp. That could kill. Hold on. I think it might be. It's chocolate.

Oh, that's yummy. Could you stop chewing into the microphone? I've been over this. Sorry. Anyway, yeah. It's good. Could you stop chewing into the microphone? I've been over this. Sorry. Anyway, yeah. It's good. Very happy with this. Love it.

So what did Sean end up getting you? I haven't seen him yet. Oh. He got me like a temporary little gift because there's a big thing on the way. Oh, yeah. I'm sure there is. Oh, don't be foul. Sean, if you're listening, stop.

Because we're talking about your anniversary present again. Remember I told you that I got him the Doctor Who chess set? Yeah. Well, it turned up and it wasn't a chess set. It was just the bits. What do you mean? Just the, like, players. Oh, so not the actual.

The pawns. Not the base. No. And I was like, fuck, I can't give this to him. So now I've had to order a fucking chess board to go with it. And that's going to take another three weeks. Now it's all up. It's going to be two months late.

I know. That's why I can't make him feel bad because he's apparently ordered something for my birthday that's going to be late. And I was like, well, it might even still beat your anniversary present. Because I can't give him just the Doctor Who themed chess pieces. No, you can't. That's half assed. It's like giving him a tennis ball but no racket.

Yeah. You know? Totally. A tennis ball but no racket. Yeah. Totally. A chopping board and no knife. And he's like, what the fuck do I do with this? Monopoly, no cash. Well, I was away for Stephen's birthday. I'd just give him dip but nothing to dip in it. Yeah, because you're so right.

Chips would be fine because you can just eat the chips. But dip, I mean, what? You can't. What are you going to do with all these chess pieces without a ball? Oh, so he gets it. He's fine. That cake was delicious, to be honest with you. It was really good. It's actually really fucking good. Well, so he gets it. He's fine. That cake was delicious to be honest with you.

It was really good. It's actually really fucking good. Well, we probably should end it on that note, Mitchell. Let's go enjoy this cake in peace. Yeah, we better. We hope this podcast made you feel at least

2% better today. That's all, just 2%. So we do. We'll catch you on Wednesday for the remains of my birthday week. Yeah. Fucking hell.

Really milking it. Yeah, of course. I think you should. You deserve it. Oh, thanks. It's fine. Leave us a five-star review if you haven't already and we will see you guys very soon in a couple of days. Catch you then. Bye, bub. See ya. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of

mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
