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 got a complaint about my radio show this week. Yeah, sorry about that. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you.

Hello you. How are you Mitchell? Yeah good, I'm actually a bit agitated if I'm being honest. Yeah, you. Hello, you. How are you, Mitchell? Yeah, good. I'm actually a bit agitated, if I'm being honest. Yeah. Doesn't shock me, but yeah. No, because when I was driving in here, I was like, fuck me. I'm so itchy.

I don't know what's going on. Like the back of my neck and stuff. And I thought, is it my hair? I don't know what's going on. And then I realised the lovely shirt that I was wearing was also the shirt that I wore when I got my haircut. Oh, yes. You know when you have a haircut and all the bits of hair get caught in the shirt?

Obviously, I haven't washed it. So, yeah. Obviously, you haven't washed. Itchy as fuck. That's the worst feeling in the world. Or when you go to bed the night of a haircut, but you don't shower. And then you've just got little shards of hair scattered throughout your bed and your pillow. I hate it.

I don't think that's ever happened to me. Does your hairdresser not do just the old dust off with that little makeup brush thing? Because I get clippers. I get like a buzz. Not a buzz, but like a one or a two. So I get those micro fine hairs. Unless I wash it with water, it's ruined.

I have to share that. Very annoying. So if I'm snappy today, that's why. Is that why? Did you get a haircut? Yeah, it's not that noticeable. That's not noticeable at all. When you have long hair and you get a little trim, you can't really tell.

How much did you take off? A few inches? Not even that. Just like a little tidy up, that's all. You're feeling stressed now you're 28. You're going, I can't dress like a youth anymore. I can't be a kid. I'm an aged adult.

I've got to dress my age. Look my age. No, not really. Oh, really? I had a bit of that Really? Yeah Yeah

Stop wearing bright colours Stop smiling in the street Stop smiling in the street? Yeah I'm just trying to be old now You would have looked insane Walking around with a grin on your face All the time in the street I felt so

Who's that psycho? I felt so sorry for you Can you paint a picture Of what it's like To be on a phone call to me During the middle of the day On a work day Because you called me the other day

There were four dropouts. I ran into three different people. I think I did a spontaneous give back to a homeless man. I felt so bad because so much happened to me during that phone call. So there were like at least four or five times where the call just dropped out. But then there were a couple of times where you hung up on purpose because you ran into someone you knew. And all the while, this whole conversation, it's just...

Because he's always going for a fucking dumb fuck walk by the beach. A hot girl walk, yeah. That's why you live by the beach. You can't help it. And it's so windy. No wonder it kept dropping out. Someone called me to talk and I didn't want to answer. I wanted to keep talking to you, Mitchell, and give you my attention.

But that stressful thing happened where Apple's like, when someone calls you when you're already on a call and it goes, answer or hang up. Hold and hang up. Hold and hang up. Pause and hang up. Kill your firstborn and slay a dragon. I'm like, huh? So many options.

It's very confusing. So I accidentally killed you and answered this random call that I had to talk to him for 10 minutes and Mitch is messaging me going, where the fuck did you go? I just give up most of the time. I'm like, whatever. I felt so bad. I bumped into this girl from school. I'm like, Mitchell. I felt so bad. I bumped into this girl from school. I'm like, Mitchell, I'll call you back.

Christina, how are you? I forgot to hang up. I was on my AirPods. I'm like, poor Mitchell's listening to me reunite with Christina Nicholson. Yeah, you're talking to her going, oh, hi, so nice to see you. And then I'm just in your AirPods. I'm like, who the fuck's that? And you're like, I'll call you back.

Drops out again. It's impossible. At least I answer your calls. Pricekeeper Jenna, who is here, hi. Hi. Never answers our calls. I don't have a phone. You do.

You're a digital content producer. It's right before our eyes. We can see your phone. What do you mean you don't have a phone? There's no number attached to it. What's your wallpaper? She's on the run. Don't tell me.

Let's all guess what each other's wallpapers are right now. Good friendship test. Okay. Jenna, yours is 100% your cat, Ratty. Whatever its name is. Reebok. Reebok. Her name's Connie. Jenna, yours is 100% your cat, Ratty. Whatever it's named. Reebok. Reebok. Her name's Connie.

Connie, tap your phone. Oh, God, I'm good. Bingo. I'm going to guess yours, Mitch. Cheery. Sure. Yours is Steven. Or yourself.

Fuck off. Why would it be myself? It has been in the past. Yeah. But that's been for motivational periods. Okay. And it has worked. I think Steven. It's Steven. Bingo. And it has worked. I think Stephen.

It's Stephen. Bingo. All right, Mitchell, I reckon yours. What do you think my wallpaper is? Go on. This is actually tough because he loves Sean but hates to show it. I've definitely gone long periods of time where it's been a photo of Sean and I. I think from like February when we went to Ears Tour until quite recently,

it was Sean and I at Taylor Swift. So you've had a recent change? Yes. I was going to say you and Sean, but... No, it's not anymore. No, not anymore. Oh my God, that's such a hard one. Is it rude to get rid of him on the wallpaper? No, not rude. No, not at all. No, personal choice. I just can't think of who else it would be. It's not a person. There's a clue. Some sort of aesthetic pattern. No. It's a photo I took.

And as you know, I've been traveling recently. It's a shot at the McLeod's daughter's house. No. Fuck. Close. Very fucking warm. In Darwin. No.

Oh. You were warmer with the house. Yeah. In Adelaide. No. Show us. Think McLeod's daughters, but not the house. On a horse. No. In Adelaide. No. Show us. Think McLeod's Daughters, but not the house. On a horse.

No. Cancelled. There's no people in it. Oh. Oh. A car. It's a car. It's an old car.

No. Why would I put a car on my wallpaper? The car that drove off the ravine in that dumb episode. Then there was a tsunami and then the horse was lame. Entire synopsis of the whole show. I don't know. Show us. Jenna, you're getting real close.

McLeod's daughters, but not the house. The pub? No. McLeod's daughters, but not the house. McLeod's daughters. It's a cloud. No. It's a daughter.

It's your niece. Fuck. No. You're getting even further away. You were so warm. I've actually made it so easy. I've led a horse to water. You can't make it drink. I've always said that.

I don't pay that much attention to you. What is it? Jenna's going to get there. I know that you've given up. You don't care that much. Please tell me. You give up. Reveal. Show us. Windmill. Oh, the windmill. The McLeod thought it was a windmill. It's a windmill shit. Wow, we've

both got the loves of our life and you've got a windmill. I just thought it was a cute photo, don't you? It's a very good photo. You put a nice sepia filter on that. I really like that photo. How artsy. Yeah, no, very. Well, that's us in a nutshell.

A pussy, a windmill and a gay man. I'm a twink. That's the show. Welcome to Is It Just Me? Every show we start the same. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. If you're new here, hi. Mitch starts with an idjim.

I start with an idjim. He doesn't know mine and I don't know his. Today on the show also, you've got to hustle. Return, part two. Yes, this is where we try to promote our podcast in out-of-the-box ways, trying to reach an audience we don't already have. Correct, which is hard because we have many and millions around the globe. Well, Jenna and I are very fucking excited to show you what we've done.

We've been doing our homework and you look not quite sure of what you've done in your hustling. I just don't like that you've teamed up. It feels cheating. But we've both done one each and I just helped Jenna with hers because it was so elaborate. Well, that's fine by me. I just need help with things in life.

Fair. I don't want to knock that. There's nothing wrong with teamwork. No, there's not at all. No, this show is built on teamwork. Yeah. All right. Well, Maya, you've got to hustle. I was very knock that. Okay. There's nothing wrong with teamwork. No, there's not at all. No, this show is built on teamwork. Yeah. All right. Well, Maya, you've got a hustle I was very impressed with.

Awesome. I can't wait to be impressed as well. Good. Me too. Can't wait. And for the new audience that are about to join the show. Welcome. Oh, my.

Because they might listen back. Hello. Yeah, we got you. We got you. Hooked in. Wine and sinker. All right. That's coming up.

Shall we start, like we said, with an idiom? You go first, Mitchell. Sure, okay. What's yours going to be about? Mine is something that hit me, a realisation that I thought was a unique experience, but it turns out other people do this too when travelling. So you already know the answer. It's not just you.

Yeah, I know, yes. But I want to know if it's you two being the co-hosts of the show. Sure, okay. Yeah, I don't care about anyone else. Oh, yeah. Wait, people listen to this? Yeah, and we've got all these new people after our hustling. Hi, everyone. You said millions. I wonder if we have any Amish listeners. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't care about anyone else. Oh, yeah. Wait, people listen to this? Yeah, and we've got all these new people after our hustling. Hi, everyone.

You said millions. I wonder if we have any Amish listeners. Oh, surely. Do Amish people even have mobile phones? I assume that that wouldn't be part of it. Sometimes they hide them. Yeah, they hide them in their rectums. Yeah, their rectums.

Yeah. Why? Well, they can't be seen by the people. Shit, okay. Yeah. Also, they have a rum springer when they turn 18 or 16 or something. I think it's 16. 16.

They go out and they can do whatever they want. They can have technology. They can have access to the real world, but only for a few months. Yeah. And then they have to choose whether to return to the Amish life or the real world. But it shocks me because who would, after tasting the real world, want to go back to churning butter and wearing- Well, most of them do.

Maybe it's too overwhelming for them. Maybe. True. I don't want to knock someone's yarm, of course. And they lose their family if they're out. You're right. Well, if any Amish are listening, we love having you on board. Welcome on board.

Happy to be your dirty little secret. What's your regimen about? Do you want me to just do it? Well, you went first last episode. Did I? Yeah. Oh, fuck. Yeah, but it was his birthday recently.

Oh, for God's sake. Okay, go first. Age before beauty. Okay, great. Is it just me or? Are you hypersensitive to aggro texts? Oh, I mean, yes. Text messages.

It's hard to say texts. Text for you, yeah. Yes. And for you. You can't even say gifts. Texts. Texts. It's a little stumble at the end.

Texts. It's hard. It's hard for everyone. You're right. I shouldn't have disparaged you. Say texts again. Texts. Texts. It's a little stumble at the end. Texts. It's hard. It's hard for everyone. You're right. I shouldn't have disparaged you. Say texts again. Texts. Yeah, it's the X. The double S at the end. Your tongue sort of just flaps around that meaty, doesn't it? That's why I always opt to say text messages.

Yeah, okay. I'll rephrase it. Are you hypersensitive to tone on text messages? Much better, yes. You are? Absolutely, especially with yours. Okay, well, mine? No, I'm fine. If I'm mad, I won't make it a secret. No, but if you're Kurt, you're Kurt.

Kurt? Yeah. What's that? Like from Glee. No. Like my brother-in-law. No, straight. Like, you know, Kurt.

Short, snappy. I wouldn't do passive-aggressive text messages. I'd just let you know that I pissed off. You don't have to read into mine. But if you're hypersensitive too, I'm just going to read these text messages and tell me how you'd react. Is there a voice at these? No, no, no.

I've got two examples. One of them was roving reporter Oscar, our fourth wheel. Oh, yeah, a lot of curtness from him actually. My chicken. You got a hustle that we are about to play you in this episode, Oscar was part of it. Yes. And when I was helping arrange things, I said to him over message,

oh, actually, so we were going to do 5 p.m. but we're going to do 4 p.m. now. And he replies, no punctuation, no capitals, just that actually works better for me, ha-ha. And I was like, did you just ha ha me? And I said, what's wrong? What have I done? And he goes, nothing.

I said, a lowercase ha ha is so aggro to me. No, I think you're reading into that. No, but a third ha makes all the difference, doesn't it? Oh, yeah. When we're talking about singular ha's, one ha is condescending. Yeah, you may as well put a bullet in my brain. Amen. Unacceptable.

Ha ha, classic. I don't think that's enough. If it's a ha ha ha, even a double H or something. I need to see it written. Hold on. I need to type this. I'll just send you exactly what he said. Ready?

Just, that actually works better for me, ha ha. That seems aggro, doesn't it? That's passive aggressive. Yeah, it does. You're right. Seeing it written, to me it's like, yes, it's short. The short the two ha's are not enough yeah the two ha's aren't enough also look at the ha ha i've given you above i've given you four yeah exactly yeah and it doesn't matter that you weren't laughing that much it's just about the tone i agree okay so what's the second example

because i back you there well this was sean oh no you're nearest and dearest exactly he's very rarely short with me he's so so overenthusiastic. He is too much, though, some days. I've said to him before, like, sometimes your enthusiasm doesn't match the information I've given you. I love Sean. Like one time, like I was telling you on Monday when we went and did that crocodile cruise thing in Darwin. And I said to him, oh, I packed those portable mics in case I want to film content. And he goes, oh, I packed those portable mics in case I want to film content. And he goes, oh, fantastic.

Sometimes your enthusiasm doesn't match the information at all. But don't knock him. That's sweet. You want that then. He's like an Irwin. Yes, exactly. He is like an Irwin. And so that's why when I got this text, I was like, holy fuck, what's going on?

So he's moving in with me very soon. And then we're going to live at my place until November, look for somewhere together when my lease is up. And he seems to feel a bit more urgency around finding a place together than I do. And so he sent me all these links to different apartments. What do you think of these? Should I apply for that? And I said, oh, like, I like them, but I don't want to break lease

because that's not a good look on my tenant ledger. So like, maybe we don't have to start applying now. Like, we'll leave it a little bit. It's not super urgent. Don't worry. He replies, all G. Oh, poor Sean. Coming from Sean, that's a deep cut.

Thank you. That's a deep cut. I'm worried. All G. All is not G. No, nothing's G. Nothing's G. And so I called him immediately.

I said, what's wrong? And he goes, what do you mean? I said, you just all G'd me. No, he's not in a good space. He goes, I all G all the time. I'm like, bullshit. You never all G. Yeah.

You've never all G'd me ever. No. Not 2012 for starters. But I knew. And he goes, no, no, I'm not mad. That's okay. I was like, fuck, am I the problem? Because I would never all G someone unless I was being so passive aggressive.

I was going to say, I'd all G someone if I wanted them to think if I was being manipulative. If I was saying all G if I wanted to get in their head. Yeah, and it worked, didn't it? Because I was like, what did I do? Wow. That is shocking from Sean, but it's clearly an oversight. All was just G.

But normally he would write an essay being like, oh, no, that's okay. Totally understand. You know what I think messages need and Apple can bring it in, Samsung, I don't give a shit who. But we need to incorporate colours. Imagine if I was like, all G, and I could make that green. Like a mood ring. Yeah, like a mood ring.

All G, green. Sent. All G, red. That would make me think you're texting from an Android. Oh, true. But the bubble would be blue, but then it'd be green. That'd be too messy. No, that's yucky.

It's confusing. We just need intonation. It's almost like voice messages are the best way to send and receive messages. Yeah, like even a smile after the all G would have made all the difference. Yeah. But all G and that's it. I was like, fuck. See, I even sometimes.

I've infuriated him. No, I often will send the colon and then the open bracket smile instead of an emoji because that tells a different story to an emoji. Yeah, you're not truly happy if you've just done the dot, dot, bracket. Yeah, it's kind of like I'm putting on a smile but deep down I'm hurt. Yeah. You know? That's very true.

I would read the same way. Yeah, but emoji is that. It's all fine. I've got enough time to search for an emoji. You know what I mean? That's so true. That is good. How deep do you have to search for the smiling emoji?

Is it not in your recents? Do you not smile much? Let me check. Wait, what's – How out of your way do you have to search for the smiling emoji? Is it not in your recents? Do you not smile much? Let me check. Wait, what's... How out of your way do you have to go to smile at someone? The first one is the two hands making a love heart. Oh, that's one of my new faves as well. Second one is the hot emoji.

Like... What's the hot one? Then the devil emoji. Show me the hot emoji. I don't know which one you mean. I'll just text it to you. Oh, fucker. I'll text you my top three.

Oh, this is not that interesting. I think it is. My top three. Oh, I hate to think interesting. I think it is. My top three. Oh, I hate to think why you were sending that hot one. Yeah, they're all actually a bit sexual. Yeah, they are very sexual. The hot one is like the red face with the bead of sweat dripping down and the tongue out. Like, eh.

Yep. Yeah, no. Why were you sending that? Don't know. Oh, yes. I had just gone for a run. My one is the love heart. Yep.

The crying happy cat. Of course happy cat, and the sun. Nice. What are yours, Mitchell? I don't think this is that interesting. Come on, we've all revealed ours. Oh, fuck, all right. We've done our wallpapers, we've done our emojis, and then next we're going to reveal our favourite newspapers that we read.

There you go. That Mitchell sent them. The crying laughing, the tongue out with the eyes crossed and the kiss. Classic. Oh, nice. Boring. See, that wasn't. Yeah, see, boring, right?

It's just not interesting. It's mildly boring. Let's get into your idjim. Okay, here we go. Is it just me or? Do you also cater your accent to the city you're travelling in? Oh, yeah. Yes.

Absolutely. Good. Oh, yeah. Yes. Absolutely. Good. It's a rite of passage. I'm in England. I'm ordering a coffee at a Pret-a-Manger. A coffee. Coffee. No.

A coffee. I'll go, hello, can I please have a flat white? Thank you so much. Four pound. No. Can I play a card? Thank you. Love it.

I'm in America. Can I please do a, what am I going to, okay, I'm going to go half and half. Yeah, see, particularly in America. I did do it when I was in London. I'd put on the accent because, particularly me with my thick Aussie accent. They wouldn't understand me. And so sometimes it's just fucking easier to say it because you don't want them to get it wrong either. No, of course.

Because that inconveniences you. No. So I would just do the British accent. But particularly in America, if I spoke like I'm speaking now, they'd be like, huh? Yeah. What, sir? I can't understand you. No. So I would just do the British accent. But particularly in America, if I spoke like I'm speaking now, they'd be like, huh? Yeah. What, sir? I can't understand you.

That's why I started doing it. Like they're so rude about not understanding me that it's like, what? Yeah. What? Totally. No, and they're like, huh? So you bet your ass I was wandering into cafes going, ma'am, I'll go ahead and take a, like that's how I was talking.

The way Americans order coffee sounds like they're ordering like a male sex worker. Yeah. Like, okay, so I'm going to take it. All right, I'm going to cop a, all right, so give me, it's how I was talking. The way Americans order coffee sounds like they're ordering, like, a male sex worker. Yeah. Like, okay, so I'm going to take it. All right, I'm going to cop A. All right, so give me, it's like, Jesus, just say, can I please have A? Yeah. That's so true.

I'm going to take a double black. Then I'm going to go with cream all over. I'm getting excited over here. No, it just saves time and confusion. It saves time. It's fun. And also, you get better at accents when you're traveling in a certain city because you're around, it just saves time and confusion. It saves time. It's fun and also you get better at accents when you're travelling in a certain city because you're around and surrounded by these accents.

So I was at one point putting on an American accent, slipping into it because I'm like, ooh, I'm hearing it. My brain was just going into it. It feels so fun. I don't know how I'd feel about doing that if I were to travel to somewhere like Thailand or Vietnam or something. I feel like that's offensive, putting on that accent.

Of course it is. Well, a lot of those are charged, racially charged, and we don't want to go down that route. Well, exactly. I don't think you can do that. I wasn't putting on a Balinese accent, let me assure you. Of course. No, no, no.

No, no. Any predominantly white Caucasian country, feel free to mock away. I agree. Look, if I went to Russia, oh, the field day I'd have. But I'd love to hear Americans come here and try and adapt to our accent. I think it's the hardest accent to do. I just don't think they can do it. I just feel like they wouldn't even think to do it. Oh, well, when I was ordering a

coffee in America with my Aussie accent, some girl was like, oh my god, me and my friends always do Aussie accents. No, Cleo, no! They're always that. They all do the no, Cleo, no from H2O Just Add Water. It's so far off the mark that nor anything. They've overdone it.

No. No. I kind of make a meal out of it. What do you mean you make a meal out of it? My no is very, it's like a full course. There's an entree, a main and a dessert. It kind of goes forever. I've noticed that when I've got a B under my bottom on this podcast,

I'll go, no. Oh, that would kill the Americans. That's not just a meal. That's a performance. That is. 100%. No. That's a degustation, which is a buffet of an hour.

Dig in, bitch. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Okay, time to check who's done their homework and who has not. Yeah. I'm feeling confident. Quick, show of hands. Who's feeling confident?

Me. You are, Mitchell? Of course I'm feeling confident. Okay, well, let's get into it. Come on, baby. You know you gotta hustle. I'm feeling very confident. This segment has been around for a long time.

We've all hustled in many different ways. I also don't think we should shame anyone's hustle because at the end of the day, it's all promotion for this podcast in which we all financially profit from heavily. Exactly. And we haven't been hustling for a while. Perhaps we've been complacent. Correct.

And so we thought, gee, it's time to hustle some more. You were playing audio from your radio show. You gave us the task to try and hustle as well. Yes, to be fair. And I said, I reckon you should give it another crack too. Yeah, doubling in.

So I just want the record to show that not only did i give you exposure to 1.8 million um ears i'm now doing it again so you're welcome this is a double hustle for me it wasn't on your radio show again was it yeah it was on my radio show oh wow pick up no not this time no no that's just how many listens i get in a week on across both shows yeah okay it's more a challenge to the two of you and it's clear you have excelled. Yeah. Oh, you wait. You're going to be so impressed. And the whole idea is that the hustling, the promotion has to be out of the box. Yeah. Really unique.

Yes. Finding listeners we don't already have. Yeah. I'm going to go first. I was going to say, do you want to go first? I do. I really, really do. So this is how I promoted the podcast.

I discovered a YouTube live where it's just 24-hour surveillance inside a chicken coop. It's called Hungry Hens. And it's quite advanced what they've done, actually. They've got a chicken food dispenser and it's connected to PayPal. So you, the viewer, can buy the chicken's food and you watch it get released to the chickens and then your name is displayed on the screen. In real time.

In real time. Uh-huh. And so on behalf of Is It Just Me, I fed the chickens on the Hungry Hens YouTube live. Wow, that's actually pretty incredible. I screen recorded it. Do you want to see? Yes.

How many views on average do the Hungry Hens? Oh, millions. Hungry Hens, okay. Millions? Wow, more than your show. Which is well known. Just close. Okay, so it says up the top corner, it's hash. Yes. Itry hands. Okay. Millions? Wow. More than your show. Which is well known. Just close. Okay.

So it says up the top. It does. It's a hash. Yes. It's the last treat. Now listen. There's a camera zooming in. Yep.

Oh, that's the treat. Oh, that's us. And now our name's on the screen. Last super chat treat brought to you by Is It Just Me, the podcast. And listen, they're so excited. Oh, look at them eating. Oh, look, there's so many of them. And we paid for this with our account? Two bucks.

Oh, you should have paid more. Yeah, you could have chucked them five. Thank you, Is It Just Me, the podcast, for your support and treat. But 6.58am, that's not prime time, is it? No, but that was their time. I actually did try and feed the chickens, like, midday our time, but it was the time. I actually did try and feed the chickens like midday our time, but it was the middle of the night. None of the chickens

got up. Oh, yeah. And so I was like, right, I'm going to do it sunrise. That is their peak time. That's when the chickens are most active. You can hear that fucking rooster. That's their breakfast. Is this in Australia? No, it's overseas. It was a different time zone. Wow. Alright, so. And I checked a few hours later. I jumped back on the

YouTube live and our name was still there. No one else had fed them. So we had all that exposure. Wow. Practically a billboard. I'm impressed that's an audience we wouldn't necessarily have. All these people watching the fucking chicken. That is really good.

I'm blown away, Mitchell. I'm truly shocked. Yeah. You hustled. I have fucking hustled hard. It only cost me two bucks. Hey, that's cheap. Wow, that's really good.

I'm happy to offload that cash. Yeah. Well done. Approved. Thank you. Thank you very much. The that's cheap. That's really good. I'm happy to offload that cash. Yeah. Well done. Approved. Thank you. Thank you very much. The board have approved. That's good exposure.

That's very good. I'm going to pop that video on our Instagram so you can see our good deed feeding the chickens. They were so excited. They'd just woken up. The crack of dawn. They're fucking starving. I fed them. That live stream set up is more elaborate than this show, to be honest.

It really, really is. It's actually so impressive what they've done. We could get that installed anytime someone wants to pay for this show. You can find Jenna a treat. Yeah. Find Jenna a treat. Okay. Well, should I go next?

Okay. Or Jenna, do you want to go? No, let's see yours. Okay. So mine is here on my phone. I have to read some things out to you. So I thought, listen, we already have a lot of audiences in the youth, the Gen X, Gen Z, the millennials.

We have a lot of women. We've got a lot of gays, right? What we need is an audience that doesn't already listen to this show and wouldn't otherwise see our content. Oh, yeah, that's the idea, right? Women share our content. The gays share our content. Young people share our content. That's why if I wanted to expose my podcast, where would I go?

Reddit. Now, Reddit. Oh, my God. If you don't know, it's like an online chat forum. It's quite unkind. Quite brutal. I'm scared. Quite unkind.

So what I did was I went to three different Reddit chains for audiences that wouldn't necessarily be interested in the Is It Just Me podcast. This is risky. I've joined each thread and I have created, individually created pictures for all three of these chains. Fuck. So first of all. Because Reddit are so brutal. I thought we've got the gays,

but we don't have the polyamorous of Australia. Don't we? No, I don't think so. I think we really appeal to the monogamites of the country. That's why I have joined and posted new polyamory podcast alert in polyamory Australia. 28,000 members in this page. Oh, no. Because if they've actually started listening, they're going to hear this and know that we

would have taken them for a ride. We're not a polyamorous podcast. I haven't thought about that. Fuck. They're going to be furious. Here's my pitch. Is it just me, the podcast, that gets the humour in every type of connection. In the world of polyamory, balancing relationships and navigating unique dynamics can be an art

form. Oh my God. That's where Is It Just Me comes in. What? That's such false advertising. A comedy podcast that brings a refreshing perspective and humour to the complexity of modern connections. Hosted by Mitchell Coombs and Mitch Turi, two best friends who blend Mitchell's cynical

glass half-empty outlook with Mitch's razor-sharp wit. It's perfect for everyone who appreciates the nuance of a polyamorous relationship. What the fuck? The trio are poly themselves. The boys are joined by co-host Jenna Benson. The trio explores life's funny side with insights that resonate across all types of relationships. Can I ask, and it doesn't make a difference either way, but was this chat GPT? 100%.

Okay, that's fine. Doesn't matter. I was just like, whoa, this is beautifully written from you. I've added a little bit more. And remember, when you've got as many partners as we've got jokes, you'll never have to worry about being the only one who laughs. Oh my God. What was the response to that?

We got one response only. Oh my God. We'll have to give it a listen. That's it. You hustled. I hustled. It's from Kat Smith. So thanks, Kat Smith. Hi, Kat. Fuck. Oh my God. We'll have to give it a listen. That's it. You hustled. I hope you're listening. It's from Kat Smith. So thanks Kat Smith.

Hi Kat. Welcome. We didn't get the same response on the coin collecting Idaho. Why coin collecting? Brent, I wanted to get demographics that don't listen to the show. We could have coin collectors listening in tonight. I'm sure we do. My dad's a coin collector.

Does he listen to the show? No. Then see, there we go. Now we know. That's why I've said. Does he listen to the show? No. Then see, there we go. Now we know. That's why I've said, new podcast alert. Is it just me? The perfect podcast for collectors who appreciate the value, wink, of a good laugh. You're a vintage coin collector.

You know the thrill of discovering a rare find. The satisfaction of restoration and the stories behind each piece in your collection. But even the most dedicated collectors need a break. Oh, Foxy, you've literally said it doesn't have much to do with collecting. That's where Is It Just Me comes in. Oh, my God. There's a lot in there, yeah. What's the response to that?

Anything? I was removed from coin collecting Idaho. Oh, no. They didn't even approve the post? No. Oh, shit. You know who did? You tried.

Who? Bodybuilding Mexico. Oh, fuck. Get your laughs with the new podcast, Is It Just Me? The comedy podcast that's more than just gains. You've got your gym routine locked down. Your macro is calculated. Your focus dialed in.

But what about your downtime? Enter Is It Just Me? It's the perfect listen in between sets or on your cardio days. It goes on and on and on. I can link these in Enduring Idiots if you want them. The ones that are still active. Yeah. I actually got in trouble on the polyamory one because I wrote, joined weekly by our

third as a joke, right? Because third in polyamory. Yeah, yeah. And they said this is a demeaning term in the polyamory community. Is it? So I had to remove it. It is very, I find that offensive. Do they explain why?

Well, I think a third insinuates that there's not as much value as being in the pair. Oh, I see. I'm just assuming. No, it's true. That's how I feel. So there you go. I've hustled. You literally call her our third wheel.

That is true. So they will remain up and we will hopefully get some new listeners. So to all the coin collectors and all the bodybuilders and polyamorous out there, thanks for joining. Welcome. We love having you. Now, Jenna's one. Do you want to explain or shall I? I'll leave it up to you.

Sure. All right. Yeah. So Jenna's one, she needed a few pairs of hands to make this happen. She went old school, something we've been talking about doing on this podcast for ages, which is just merely handing out flyers. I thought about this. At the train station.

I thought about this. And I thought to myself, oh, maybe we know Jenna can be a bit anxious. She's a bit shy. Maybe she's going to have some sort of anxiety attack if we just throw her out in all this crowd of people having to approach strangers. We don't want that. Why don't you pair up with Roving Reporter Oscar, who is completely shameless, never been shy in his life.

He's gorgeous, yeah, yeah. And so they both had the same amount of flyers at the train station to give away. Who could finish their pile first? Good, I love this. If you had to put money on it, who do you reckon won? Oh, no disrespect. Oscar. You would be so surprised.

Jenna's found her calling. Oh, my. Yeah. She was amazing in heading out flyers. Oscar sucked. What did you do, Jenna? I was just so surprised. Jenna's found her calling. Oh, my. Yeah. She was amazing and heading out flying. Oscar sucked. What did you do, Jenna? I was just so good.

I just could relate to everyone on a personal level. Did you have your tits out? No. Wow. I can show you what happened because we were there filming. Oh, we've got footage.

And I'll pop this on our socials as well at some stage. I'm so excited. Do you want to see Jenna hustling? Of course I do. It's Jenna versus Oscar who can finish their pile first. I've wanted years

to see Jenna hustle. It's impressive. Here we go. So do you like podcasts? Oh, look, I don't have a lot of time to listen to them at the moment, to be honest. Oh, do you want to share it with someone you know? It's a really good new podcast. Didn't take no for an answer.

Well, it's not that new, but it's really good. Good on you. Enjoy. Do you want to get one? Do you like to yap? Oh, thank you. You'll enjoy that. No?

Why not? Hi, Dale. Do you like podcasts? Yes, I do. Oh, thank you. You'll enjoy that. No? Why not? Hi, Dale. Do you like podcasts? Yes, I do. Oh, thank you. You'll like that one. It's very dumb. Hi, are you an idiot?

It's a new podcast. It's really good. Well, it's not new, but it's good. Yeah. Jenna, do you like podcasts, darling? No? All right. Hi, are you an idiot?

Do you want a podcast? Enjoy. Just QR code. Jenna got another one. Do you like podcasts, Dale? No, I don't. No? Me neither, honestly. God, Jenna, they like you. Jenna got another one. Do you like podcasts, Darl? No, I don't. No? Me neither, honestly.

God, Jenna, they like you more than they like- Hey, do you want a podcast? Yep, listen. Do you want a podcast? Listen. See, they don't like me, Jenna. No, they do like you. I think they just feel sorry for me.

Oh, you've got one left here. You're doing so well, Jenna. Have a couple more of mine. Okay, I'll have a couple more. Have a couple more of mine. Wow. Excuse me, are you an idiot? Do you want to listen to a podcast?

It's a good one. It's just for idiots like me. Oh, Jenna, you beat me. The idiots love me. They love you. See, you're not a meek little shit after all, aren't you? No, I'm not. Proved you all wrong.

No, I'll use this a cigarette paper, actually. Yeah, now that I'm back on the animal. No, no, don't waste it. No? No, no, no, no. Here, do you want to listen to a podcast? Oh, good, thank you. Would you like to listen to a podcast?

Enjoy. Yay. There we go. Wow, Jenna. Oh, I'm blown away. Yeah, so not only did she finish her pile of flyers first, Oscar gave some of his to her as well. And she finished that pile as well.

Jenna, you know, face-to-face marketing is some of the most proven successful marketing out there in the world. Yeah. I feel like every single one of those people are going to listen. I actually can track the QR code, how many people scanned it out of all the flyers we gave. Do you want to know? Yes, I really do.

13. Oh, Jenna! That's good. I'll take that. That's great. That's 13 people that tell another five each. You times it out, you multiply. Word of mouth spreads fast.

And think of all the people that received one of the flies at the train station and didn't scan the QR. They just searched it. 100%. That's true. Oh, my God. Jenna, you are the Kamala Harris of this podcast. I agree. It was so crazy to me because Oscar must have just been so abrasive in his approach.

Oh, are you an idiot? Yeah, a bit much. But Jenna being like, oh, are you an idiot? They were just like, yes, yes, I am. See, yes, Oscar has the energy of the guy at the Westfield that is giving out hand cream that you don't want to talk to, but Jenna's world vision, which is a big difference. You'll hear her out. Oh, Jenna.

I think we all did very well. Yay! I'm very proud of us. And none of us hit the same audience. No, no. Which has all hens. It's hard to say who the sort of person is that watches a chicken live stream. Yeah.

Apart from me, I love to. Well, I'm sold on that too, to be honest. Oh, it's quite fascinating. Should we check on the hungry hens right now? Yeah, I'd really like to. Yeah. All right, hang on. Talk amongst yourselves.

Hungry hens is, funnily enough, also one of the commenters on the Polyamory group chat. Reddit is crazy. Oh, I know. I've never been into Reddit, but apparently you can ask any question. Yeah, it's actually great because people don't fuck around with their answers. Like, if you Google, let's just say, things to do in Darwin, if you Google that, it'll come up with some sort of listicle that's been paid for by the tourism board. Isn't that incredible?

Whereas on Reddit, they'll be real with you. They're like, oh, don't fucking bother with that place. It sucks. Go here. It'll be great. Here's how the chickens are doing at night time. Oh. Here we go.

It's 1.30 a.m. where they are. And the last donation was brought to you by Catherine. Oh. Yeah, not a lot going on at the moment. No, it's not really. Not a good time to feed them. I just said a reminder on my phone to feed them at daylight. Their sunrise.

Wow. Yeah. Wow. Well, Jenna, I think you've won. That is incredible. Thank you. Thank you to groundskeeper Oscar. I didn't know it was a competition.

It's not groundskeeper Oscar. Oh, thank you to Oscar. Rover and reporter Oscar. How fucking hard is it? What did executive producer contraceptive diaphragm Sam do? He was filming. Aha, aha. Yeah.

Rightly so. Yeah. And he made everyone feel comfortable because he looked so good. Yeah, he's so handsome. And I'll post that video on our socials too. Yeah. Jenna and Oscar doing their little flyer handout as well as my chickens. I'll post that.

Of course. And next week, I'm going to shout us all a barbecue chook inspired by the happy hens. The hungry hens. The hungry hens. A bachelor's handbag for us all to celebrate the new audience. Don't be disrespectful to Cluck Norris. They've all got names. Oh, Cluck.

Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search couple of mitches. If you don't, you're a little bitch. Now, before we go, I'm just having a look at the text messages we receive on our Idgim hotline. Normally, we tell you to text us with an is-it-just-me-of-your-own, but it doesn't have to just be that.

Any thoughts you're having, any commentary on the show, send us a text on this number. 042-294-8202 042-294-8202 I'll 422948202 Send us a text, please. Yeah, we read them, we check them. So even if you want to, if you've got a gripe with us, maybe you've got a complaint or review or you just want to say hi,

we check that number. There's no AI. You don't even have to be coming on the show, just anything you want to share with us. Like Ruby sent us this message, for example. She pointed out that last Wednesday's episode, number 222, she pointed out that this segment would make a great half speed. Oh.

Because, you know, on your phone, when you're listening to a podcast, you can adjust the speed it plays at. You can change it to double speed if you're in a rush. Yeah, and no one ever does the half speed. Everyone always does the double speed. Unless you're, I don't know, in an aged care home and you want to slow things down. I don't know why you would use it.

Well, I don't know why because as we've discovered before, we've played half speed audio on the podcast before and it makes us sound stoned off our face. Baked. Cooked. And so basically during that episode, Jack the Ripper, when the wheel started to fall off the show a little bit and we started to sound a bit manic. When you slow it down, we sound even more fucking cooked and unhinged.

So thank you for that, Ruby. Shall we all listen to our unhinged energy in half speed? Thank you for showing us this, Ruby. Play the audio. For context, we were talking about washing machines at the time. Here we go. I only found out all too recently it has a filter you're meant to clean. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, I found that a few years ago.

Mum told me over the phone. She goes, okay, the filter, you just kind of pull it and step back immediately. I was like, why is that? All this shit going everywhere. Because if you don't, it can catch a light. Wait, are you thinking of the dryer? I don't think the washing machine is going to catch a fire. I've got mute.

Do you not do the dryer? Your green hair. The dryer has one too. Yeah, I do that too. The lint catcher. Yeah, the dryer could catch a light for sure. Yeah. So much lint.

Sometimes I've actually smelt burning and gone, oh, Sean, have your fucking coats clogged up the lint filter again? Oh, so many coats. Mitchell, you... So sorry. So sorry. The wheels are falling off this episode. We should go.

We need to leave. Oh, my God, what was that? I'm so hurt. You didn't even put all that in the microphone. Oh, please, this mic's just been jerked off. I think we've been hurt at the least of its worries. I've never seen your mouth go that wide. Neither have I, to be honest. It was like something possessed you.

You were mid-sat as a... Jack the Ripper. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. He's on the fly. Stripper name, Jack the stripper. That's lazy, mate. You can do better than that.

I'm starting to green out myself. Jim's mowing spin-off. Jack the clipper. Oh, FedEx side company. Yeah. Jack the shipper. FedEx side company Yeah Jack the shipper

Oh no I can't think of any This is so sad I'm too stoned Yeah The naughty boy at a party Who? Jack the skinny dipper

Not my best. I couldn't think of when you'd skinny dip. Damn it, I can't think of anything. When you're a lifeguard. Yeah. Jack the Nipper. Good. Come on, Nick, you need one.

That was general dummy at this game. That's good. Nippers. Yeah. I've never been prouder to be a broadcaster in my life. Oh, neither. Yeah. Wow.

For some reason I pictured in my mind that conversation taking place. We're all in bean bags. Yeah. Passing the bong around. Totally. Jamaican music plays in the background. But we're in bean bags. Yeah. Passing the bong around. Totally. Jamaican music plays in the background. But we're here in studio. Totally.

This is a normal day. What was wrong with us? That's embarrassing. Yeah. Oh, God. Now I feel stoned after listening to that. Yeah, I know me too. Totally.

It does elevate your brain chemistry a bit listening to that. It does. It's like the placebo effect. I feel like I've just popped a pill. Oh, God. Is it going to set you off again? Another feral mood? No, no, no.

It's not. No. I'm not going to be in a foul mood. I'm in a good mood. No, I said just popped a pill. Oh God, is it going to set you off again? No, no, no, it's not. I'm not going to be in a foul mood. I'm in a good mood. No, I said a feral mood. Oh, no. That happened after the burp. The burp incited the feral mood. I think so, yeah. I'm not in a feral mood. I'm in a good mood. Okay, good. Although I am wearing a grey shirt which shows sweat patches

and I've been very self-conscious, so I'm going to lift my arms up on three and both of you tell me if there's patches. Okay. Sure. Where did this come from? All day I've been terrified and Jenna kept staring at me and I know she wants to get up me. She has for years. But like tell me if there's sweat patches. Okay. 3, 2, 1. Nah, you're good.

Am I? You're good. Not at a speck? You can do the pit push with freedom. I can go up. They're dry. They're dry as a bone. See, that shows. Kids listening. If you may be polyamorous, you could be a bodybuilder. You could love coins. Don't be worried about yourself.

Well said. Thanks so much. Okay, should we get out of here? Probably on that note. Sure. All right. Yeah, idiots, please keep an ear out any particularly stupid conversations we're having. Pop it in half speed.

Yeah. See if it makes us sound baked off our tits. Chances are it will. What happens if you speed us up? Is it just not enjoyable? Oh, we already don't speak that slowly. We speak quite quickly anyway, so it just sounds ridiculous. This is also the conversation we had last time I've just remembered.

We then spoke in double speed. And then we went really, really fast. No, that was when we were trying to save time in the studio because we got in trouble for taking an hour to record a one-episode podcast. Oh, that email. Remember when they tried this? They were like, why does it take you so long to record a one-hour episode? You're being greedy with the studio.

And we're like, are you listening to yourself? Yeah. And so our solution was let's speak in 1.5 speed and then we slow it down later. So we get it done in, oh, I can't do maths. Fuck, would that be 45 minutes? Yeah, roughly. 45, 50. Yeah, I don't know. And then they started messaging me saying, are you responsible for the matches? I'm like, I don't do maths. Fuck, would that be 45 minutes? Yeah, roughly. 45, 50? Yeah, I don't know.

And then they started messaging me saying, are you responsible for the Mitches? I'm like, I don't know who they are. Jenna got looped in on email at the end. They seem to think that Jenna's here to wrangle us, but it's quite the opposite. I'm like, no, I have nothing to do with it. Sometimes they'll email Mitch and they're like,

hi, Mitch or Coombs, can you pass on to Mitch Turi? And you're like, fucking CC him in. He's here as well. I know, I do get a bit of that. Yeah. And they're like, oh, Jenna, just a quick call regarding the Mitches. I'm like, oh, no. I don't give a fuck.

Not them, mother. Okay. Well, thank you for listening, everyone. Five-star review. Should we? Just no question. Five-star review. We have expectations.

And your task, idiots, as a hustle is to share this podcast with at least one friend. Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah, that's nice. I'm with the same sense of humour as you. Did you see that you came up with that random idea on a whim where we get our idiots to put up posters around for us? I ended up doing that in the Facebook group.

It was a competition. I said, first person to print this poster, send us a photo of it displayed, will win one of our tote bags. This is the first person to ever get their hands on one of our tote bags. They were brand new. And I felt bad because two people did it within minutes of each other. It was Will Barnes was one of them. Who else was it, Jenna?

You'd remember. Who was the other one? Oh, Kelly. Probably. Hang on, I'll have a look. We have a Facebook group for those who don't know. Well, we find the name. The conversation continues after the show.

If you're not in the Facebook group, you're missing the fun. We gossip. We bitch. We post. We laugh. Enduring idiots on Facebook. You really need to join the group. It was amazing how quickly they jumped at the idea when there was a prize on offer.

I know. Free shit really works, huh? It really does. I didn't realize that our listeners were a bunch of prize pigs. Yeah. Okay, well, let's offer a prize again. Oh, sorry. Do you know that we...

Let's offer a prize again. The first person, the first listener to hustle on our behalf. Doesn't have to be a poster. Just hustle in some way and prove it. You'll get a tote bag. You'll get a tote bag and you'll get a tongue kiss, Jenna. You can't really offer that. Sorry.

Well, Jenna said to me before before I really want to tongue kiss someone So I thought I'll bring it up Yeah that is true But now I've changed my mind You were so good with those people Thank you You have natural chemistry

Right Thank you And she also just didn't take no for an answer Yeah The guy that goes Nah no time to listen to podcasts She goes Well give it to someone you like then

Yeah And he took it And he would have given it to somebody A tradie Yeah A butcher Yeah A coin collector

Coin collector perhaps. Hopefully. Yeah. Okay, I found the post. Thank God. I just felt bad about remembering Will's name and not the other person that hustled for us. All right, so Will Barnes, yes.

The other one was Jennifer. There we go. Oh, close. Yeah. Jennifer and Will, they both displayed them and they posted their footage, like the proof that they hung our poster somewhere, within minutes of each other.

I'm like, fuck, you were so close. I'll just give them both a take there. Fuck it. Enjoy, guys. Enjoy the tote bag. Is it a totally rare tote bag you can only get from being on the show? Yes, they are for sale. Coupleofmitches.com.au.

All of our merch is for sale and it's all been sorted. No issues. Don't worry. The merch is high quality. It is such high quality that you can use them as fire blankets. But the bag we're giving away is like the deluxe one. Yeah. It's got the yellow handle.

Special edition. It's even bigger. You could use it for a beach bag. Yeah, that's true. You could do groceries with it. Yeah. Probably. Only if you're doing a small shop.

You couldn't do your big shop. You could put your clothes in there to go overseas. Yeah, you could carry sort of a... I don't know about that. A schnauzer in there. Yeah. Yeah, you could. Maybe two.

Maybe two small dogs. Two rock melons. Maybe a honeydew. in there. Yeah. Yeah, you could. Maybe two. Maybe two small dogs. Two rock melons. Maybe a honeydew. Maybe all. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Someone's going to put this in half speed, aren't they? Thanks for listening.

Oh, no. Now we're going to start saying things that will sound ridiculous in half speed. All right, let's go. All right, see you next week, guys. Thanks for listening. We love you. Catch you then, idiots. Thanks for listening.

Bye. See ya. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADDeepReef, our secret

segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it's not. We're meant to go rogue in this bit. We can. And you better fucking believe we will. You know your t-shirt, Mitch? What's Manitow? Oh my God, thanks for asking.

You want to know a fun fact about this shirt? It better be fun. So Manitou is a town, Manitou Springs is a town in Colorado, a small town, and it's got the steepest railway in the world. And I went, you shut the fuck up, local, because have you been to the aerial expressway in the Blue Mountains? What about Zigzag? Thank you.

Is that the one you're talking about? All these railways claiming we're the steepest in the world. And I've been on the one at the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. That's actually steep, Katoomba. Which one are you talking about in the Blue Mountains? At Scenic World. The Scenic one. Can you Google it?

Which is, I think, different to the zigzag. Yeah, right. The zigzag isn't up. Zigzag is just kind of like a little. Famously, it zigzags. Yeah, but it's not like going up a giant mountain. Like up in Gilly. Correct.

Blue Mountains. Correct. And then get the exact details. Manitou Springs is a small town in Colorado. Scenic Railway. I went to this store. Oh, yeah, I have been on that. I forgot.

Yeah, everyone's been on it. It's bright red. They've just done it up. How steep is the railway in the Blue Mountains? Google says 52 degrees. Wow. Okay. Now Google, Pike's Peak Cog Railway.

Why isn't Jenna doing the Googling? You had your laptop out. Yeah. Hers is out as well. Pike's Peak Cog Railway. Jenna's laptop is turned off. Oh. It's in feet, isn't it?

Yes, it is. How do I convert that to degrees? How many feet? How many feet? It says 70 degrees. Oh, so they actually are more steep than the Blue Mountains one. Shit. It's 52.

Oh, shit. Okay. But is that, I don't know how degrees works. Is that more steep or not? 70 would be like. Fuck, we're dumb. No, because 100... But we're so attractive, it's fine. I don't know. The fucking moral of the story is...

That's the steepest that you're wearing. Correct. Anyway. So that shit's all over scenic world in fucking Blue Mountains. It was very steep. It was actually very cold because it was summer in America. It was like 40 degrees down at the base and then by the time we got up, it was 9 degrees. That's how high up it was. Anyway, I had this.

Oh, yeah, because it says it can only be accessed in the spring months. Yeah, you can't go up in winter. You will freeze to death. You will die. You will die. Anyway, moral of the story is I had this whole thing when I was traveling the US. I wanted to get a T-shirt in every town that I visited. And I did.

So I walk into Manitou Springs tourist shop. And this man goes, welcome to the store. And I go, hi. And he's like, you want a T-shirt? I'm like, yeah, I'd love one. He's like, $25. And I was like, oh, that's fucking steep. US dollars.

That's 50 Australian for a T-shirt. So I was filtering through and this one said sale $10. And I said, hey, I'm going to get this one. And he's like, you want to know why it's on sale? I was like, why? Look at the shirt in the back. Ready? Yeah.

It's Menetau Springs. What colour is the sky? Oh, it's red. He went, the printer malfunctioned and it painted the sky red instead of blue. So it scares off the kids. So we had to discount. It's the last one in XXL. But then the text is written in blue.

So that makes no sense. I think it swapped it. So I'm pretty sure that the text is meant to be red and the sky is meant to be blue. But instead, this looks like Armageddon has hit the earth and the sky is a blood red. That's why I thought, is it like a volcano or something? No, it's beautiful blue sky Colorado. He's like, this is Colorado. I'm like, no, it's not, sir.

So did you actually buy a shirt for every place you went? Mm-hmm. You know what? That's going to be really annoying later down the track when you're trying to do a clothes cult. I you know what that's going to be really annoying later down the track when you're trying to do a clothes cult i know because i'm going to be attached to them yes because you know the whole sentiment that if you haven't worn it in the last six months get rid of it yep i agree get rid of it yep there's so many shirts that i've not worn for ages because i went through a phase where i wanted to buy a shirt for every concert i went to

yeah i've got katie perry kylie minogue sh Twain, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Kesha. Oh my God. I feel like I'm forgetting some. You are. But I brought one for every fucking concert I went to and I haven't worn them in forever so the rule is I should get rid of them but I'm like, I pay good money. I'm supposed to remember the concert. Mitchell, you need to do what I'm doing at Venla in Cronulla.

It's actually available now. All my clothes are on sale. Have I said it on this show? You have, yeah. It feels like they're paying you or something. No, they're not. I'm actually paying. Go on one more shout out.

I'm paying. Venla Cronulla. And I'll have you know, guess what I'm selling at Venla Cronulla. If you're an IJM fan and you really want a piece of Mitch Turi or IJM history, I am selling the infamous mohair sweater that I wore in what season, Mitch? It's on your shirt. Yeah. Which artwork did you wear that jumper in?

It's very familiar. Yes, on your T-shirt. Oh, yeah, I'm wearing this ear as to a shirt of ours. Oh, shit, there it is. Where's the jumper? Oh, that one. Yeah. Yeah, okay, yeah, the photo from literally last year.

Correct, yes. I thought you were going to say that you're selling our merch, which is another thing that I'm like, well, I can't throw that out. No, no. Because when I'm old, I want to look back on it. I want to have a copy of our merch and be like, oh, yes, I remember this. I know. No, no. Because when I'm old, I want to look back on it. I want to have a copy of our merch. Yeah, me too. I know.

I've got quite a few fucking pieces of our merch. And I'm like, I can't even donate them because who would at Vinnie's want it? I know. When I moved back home, I found a whole box of our merch. And I was like, do I keep? Yeah, I had like four hoodies. What? Four sweatshirts, actually.

Yeah. I had like seven tea towels. Did you? Actually, Stephen's mum, shout out to Zedia who's listening, I gave her a tea towel and Stephen's like, my mum doesn't want that. Oh. Why wouldn't she?

I thought she listened occasionally. She listens every week. Because the tea towel was one of those, it was a rip-off of one of those fucking touristy things where it's like London, New York, Paris, Dabo, Berlin. And it was just all these made-up town names that you had come up with. Wangle Baraldine, Christleton, Lake Baraldibaldine. We haven't lent into that in a while.

We haven't. You're coming up with fake names. I miss that. This is a very nostalgic episode because we're doing You Gotta Hustle for the first time in ages. I know. The fake name thing, go. Mount Haroldibaldine. Yeah, yeah.

That's right. That's famously where the third steepest cog railway is. Fucking hell. Back to the nostalgia. So last episode you said when you watched Nostalgic Things. Oh, yeah. Oh, because I'm cursed. I killed Matthew Perry because I started watching Friends and I killed, what's the name again?

Janet Andrew Arthur. Correct. Lynne Scully from Neighbours because I started watching that show she's in with Asha Keddy. Yeah, and now we're nostalgic about. Oh, I just can't reminisce. It's too risky. About what? About the podcast.

We were just reminiscing about the old days. Yeah, but you're in it. It's not possible. It's like when you're in the Matrix. Yeah, but it could be one of us. Yeah, maybe this podcast is the only invincible thing. Jenna, it's only if he listens. Maybe the curse is while this podcast exists.

So we have to disband. Maybe that's the only option. Jenna, we hold more power than we think. We're the ones giving Mitch the death. Yeah. The what? The death look. Grim Reaper. Grim Reaper. I feel like it's just me, though. Because you've not ruined anything. That's funny. You've used the title of the show

in five years. We've never done that. You know, in English class, that's something that they teach, you know. Oh, totally. Using the title of the show. Oh, my God. In Armageddon. And they go, it's Armageddon.

You go, wow, that's pretty cool. And it's like, wow. In The Hunger Games. It doesn't have the same effect because they talk about it a lot. Yeah. Blade Runner. Oh, my God. And interestingly, that show Fake we were talking about, the Ashikedi one and the dead Lynn Scully. Oh, she's freshly deceased. Yeah, my God. And interestingly, that show Fake we were talking about, the Asher Keddy one and the Deadly in Scully.

Mitchell, she's freshly deceased. Yeah, I know. They don't actually use the word fake at any point, do they? No. I thought they were going to tie it all in a nice little bow, like at the end she'd go, oh, it's all been fake. I wonder if that's true. Oh, that would have been such a good ending.

Right? Yeah. No spoilers though, idiots. No. I'm Googling it. You never know. It could end. Right? Yeah. No spoilers though, idiots. No. I'm Googling it. You never know. It could end like that. Yeah.

Well, at the end of the day, what is what is, as I've always said it. What is what is. You do always say that. I've famously said it. It is what it was. Yeah, that's true. It is what it was and it was what it is. Yeah.

At the end of the day, don't get in the tears. Nice. Put that on a fucking sheet. Are we going to do more nostalgic segments? Remember we improvised adverts for different Australian fruits and vegetables? You know what I think we should bring back? Yeah. Remember how you used to get me to do an instant interview, as you called it?

Oh, yes. Where you were interviewing someone on your radio show and then you'd be like, now I'm going to bring in my podcast co-host and you wouldn't tell me who it was. And my deepest fear is that people will notice that I don't know their name or that I haven't researched them, because that's just rude, as an interviewer, isn't it? Even though you do it all the time. Often. Interview people without researching them.

I don't. I'm much better now. But I was pretty good at it. I didn't know I interviewed Peaking Duck without any notice. You did Peaking Duck. Yeah, you were great. I interviewed Harry Jousey. Correct.

He was very, very famous, Harry Jousey. He is still famous. Yeah. I could do it again. We actually did it this week on the night show. What? Instant interview. Instant interview, yeah, because we've done it on the radio show many times.

It's a repeat segment, sorry. Yeah. You really just had one idea five years ago. Made it work, baby. And we got our intern, Jackson, who's 16, who you met, who went up to Mitch in the hallway before we did the show and went, my mum's a big fan. Aw. Yeah.

Not him, but his mum. His mum. That's fine. I'll take it. That's sweet. He really actually doesn't like your stuff. We did an instant interview with him and Jessica Malboy. Aww.

We've done that before with Jenna, haven't we? Did you interview Jess Malboy? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And she came in the other day, the other week. And recognised you? Yeah. And we had a great chat and I introduced her to the-

Are you sure she wasn't just being nice? No, no. Because it was over the phone. How could she have recognised you? Yeah. And we had a great chat and I introduced her to the- Are you sure she wasn't just being nice? No, no. Because it was over the phone. How could you have recognised her? No, she even put me on her Instagram story. What? Jesus. Yeah.

You should have fucking held a logo up. You've got to hustle. I know, but that was before the hustle. Wasn't she at the Paris Olympics? Yeah, this was just before. The what, sorry? Oh, shit. Ellen's limp pics.

Yeah. Photos of her. Yeah, of course. Olympics. The European Ellen Olympics because she fell over when she was touring. Yeah. Ellen's limp pics. Yeah. Photos of her moon. Yeah, of course. Ellen Olympics. The European Ellen Olympics because she fell over when she was touring on Hot Girl Summer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Shall we go on that note? Should we? Yeah, I think we should. Yeah, it's all right. We can do that. We can do that. It is.

We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do. So we do. So we do. You know what's funny? It's like we have a podcast and people listen.

Do you ever think about that? No, because I listen to podcasts. I have wrapped my head around that before. It only hit me this week. Sorry to bring it up in the final moments. But I was listening to a podcast and I thought, God, people listen to that like I listen. Like I listen to the podcast and like I'm a fan.

But people listen to a help shit Show and do the same thing. Yeah. It doesn't make sense. It's strange. We're just talking in a room. It is a bit baffling to me because like I obviously listen to lots of podcasts, but I don't think I've ever been enough of a fan to buy merch. So when all these gorgeous idiots of ours buy merch with our faces on them,

I'm like, wow, that's so flattering. You really like what we're putting out in the world. Oh, we're not lying when we say it genuinely means so much. Yeah. Yeah. It does. Anyway, sorry. Just kind of hit me that we know what we do for a living.

It's very sweet. Thank you, idiots. We love you. We adore you. We'll see you guys in a couple of days. Well, not a couple of days. It's Monday. Oh, you're right.

Sorry. A few days. See you soon. See you soon. Bye, bub. See ya. See ya. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple're right, sorry. A few days. See you soon. See you soon. Bye, bub. See ya. See ya. Is it just me?
