This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you. Hello you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Did you know this? An apple has the same caffeine as a full one-shot coffee.

Bullshit. Are you serious? Yeah, I'm going to Google it now. What is it? It says there is no caffeine in our house. Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you.

Oh, Mitchell. Oh, a downtrodden Mitchell Coombs to start the show. Sorry, sorry. Hello, you. Don't fake it. Now I know you're faking it. I am a bit knackered. I'm not going to lie.

You look good, though. You've got the concealer on. I can see you're all dolled up. You look nice. You're not supposed to notice the concealer. Damn it, have I caked it on a bit knackered, I'm not going to lie. You look good, though. You've got the concealer on. I can see you're all dolled up. You look nice. You're not supposed to notice the concealer. Damn it, have I caked it on a bit? Mitchell, this is like your Reese Witherspoon. I'm Jan Aniston on the fucking morning show.

The amount of lights we have in here is ridiculous. And I'm an oily girl. I need all the bloody powder I can get. What's wrong? Why are you tired? Did you not sleep well? Well, no. It's just that you've dragged us in here earlier than normal.

I don't think I've ever been in this studio in the AM. Oh, what time is it? Yeah, it's early. We're doing the breakfast shift today. We are. Chewie dragged us into the studio extra early because he was doing an interview with Chapel Roan. Yes. She cancelled on you, didn't she? Yeah, she cancelled because she's feeling anxious.

She's overwhelmed with the fame and fortune of it all. Yeah, I was surprised that she even agreed to an interview. I thought she was laying low for a bit. Yeah, well, peeling back the onion? What's that fucking saying? I don't know. Peeling back the layers? Peeling back the ogre?

Pulling back the ogre? No, pulling back the foreskin? What is it? Isn't it just peeling back the layers? Pricekeeper Jenna? What am I thinking of? Well, just finish your sentence and I'll try and tell you what you're thinking of. She's cancelled twice now.

Pulling back the curtain. Oh. It's an old showbiz term. Breaking the fourth wall. Correct, yeah. Ka-ching, smash of. She's cancelled twice now. Pulling back the curtain. Oh. It's an old showbiz to her. Breaking the fourth wall. Correct, yeah. Ka-ching, smash. Yeah, she cancelled twice and I'm just third time's a charm. So I made you all, we spoke about it. We agreed that we'd come in early to do the podcast. Because you

were meant to be interviewing her at the normal time that we would do the podcast. Correct. And fuck it's hard to get a parking spot here in the morning. It's just run out actually. Did it really, the parking? Yeah. It's quite whiz-bang now. I don't have to duck downstairs and renew my parking at the meter.

It's just on a website. Oh. And it's got a countdown timer. It literally just hit zero. Yeah. And I could only get a half-hour spot. So every fucking half-hour, I'm refreshing this thing. Wait, you have to do it every 30 minutes?

Yep. Why don't you just go move your car and we can... Because we're on a podcast right now. Yeah, true. Good point. Yeah, yeah, we're talking. All right, well, you know what? Let's incorporate it. Hey, Siri. Good point. Yeah, yeah. We're talking. All right. Well, you know what? Let's incorporate it.

Hey, Siri, start a timer for 30 minutes. No, it's got a timer on here for me. Oh, shit. All right. Well, Siri's going to pop up in it. Shout out to the city of Sydney. I'm loving this upgrade. Oh, my God.

It's all over the news because the city of Sydney where the Coke, Pepsi Palace is, sorry. Yeah. They've now changed all their parking meters to, there's no screen. It's just a tap. You tap your phone and you do it on your phone. And it suits me because I don't have to run downstairs. Yeah, but there's no coins. And there's nothing better than scooping up the coins from your cup holder in your car

and filling up an extra couple hours with coins you'd otherwise not even touch. When was the last time you had a coin on your person? Well, see, in LA. Oh, here we go. He is in and out. Oh, yeah. Well, this year I have been in and out. I'm going in September too, so I'll be back in. Oh, are, in LA. Oh, here we go. He's in and out. Oh, yeah. Well, this year I have been in and out. I'm going in September too, so I'll be back in.

Oh, are you? Yeah. Why? Just to be in. Oh. Because currently I'm, you know. You're out. Out.

And they only do coins. You can't tap. So in LA you've got to lug coins around. Yeah. As someone who lives in both cities, I'm just used to it. That seems so behind the times. It's like every city in Australia, maybe not every capital city, but most of the big players, Brizzy, Sydney, Perth,

when you go on public transport, you can just tap your debit card or even your Apple Pay. Melbourne doesn't have that yet. Even Canberra has it and Melbourne doesn't. I'm like, get with the times, Melbourne. What the fuck? You have to get your Mikey card. Melbourne's the city of trams too.

You'd think they wouldn't have it. Well, in LA, the cool thing about it is you put the coins in and then it's got a little green light that just turns on and goes green. And then it says, you know, 25 minutes left. But you can't take the money with you once you're done. Say you put in 25 minutes and you're only there for five. You leave. So the best thrill driving around LA is looking for the meters that are green

because then you get free parking. Yeah, it's kind of cool. That's fun. Look, I'll show you my laptop. I've just renewed it. 29 minutes until I have to renew it again, but I don't have to go anywhere. 28, 28.

Are you putting that on the company, on the kiddio? Yes. Fair enough. Well, I'm going to hold my tooth from talking on this fucking show. Can I claim that back? Technically, you could, I guess. Where's the line? We both are severely hurt in the head.

Should we claim our therapy from this show? Oh, could I? The thought has crossed my mind. I'm pretty sure I asked my accountant once, can I claim therapy on tax? Yeah. Because let's be fucking real. It's work-induced stress. Yeah.

It's directly in line with my employment. Yes. But no, she said no. When I interviewed Michelle Visage from RuPaul's Drag Race, I asked her what she could claim. Insane. Because her work is to be that dolled up. So she claims stick on nails, the hair, all the makeup, all the dresses. You bet your ass I claimed this concealer you can see under my eyes.

Did you really? Oh, wow. That's a hack. I'm too lazy for that shit. I could claim so much. It took me a while to get in the habit of like, take a photo of the docket, put it aside in an email or something. That is something you're very good at.

Pulling back the foreskin as that famous saying goes, Mitchell is like so anal. Well, with your receipt keeping, it actually amazes me. When we do things for the show, Mitch is like, keep the receipt, send me a photo of the docket. I love the word docket as well. Docket. Oh, my God.

Did your parents ever call them shopper dockets? Probably. Yeah, probably. And remember when the petrol voucher was on the bottom of the shopper docket and your mum would have like a wad of shopper dockets? Yeah. Yeah, probably. And remember when the petrol voucher was on the bottom of the shopper docket and your mum would have like a wad of shopper dockets? And you could, remember when you could stack the petrol? You get like cheap Eagle Boys pizza.

Yes, yes. No, but the petrol. And also the liquor store thing. Yeah, the two for one. Yeah, yeah. McLaren, Vale, Chardonnay. Well, remember it was like four cents off per litre with your petrol. But if you had like three, you could do like 12 cents off.

And then they're like, actually, no, that's not how it works. It all adds up. But it does sound like a lot of admin for four cents. Four cents? Is it just me on the fly? Yeah. But is the checkout at a service station in the wild fucking west? I go up and I pay for my petrol and I think that's all I'm going to get.

And they're like, hey, if you buy a boost bar, you'll get one cent off a litre. And if you add a crunchy that expires tomorrow, we'll chuck in a moro and we'll also pump up the air in your tyres. I'm like, is this above board? There's no law at the checkout of a service station. They're writing things with Sharpie. They're like, $3 for a picnic. Do you fall for it, though? Every time.

See, I'm good at just being like, nah, nah, because that boost is going to set me back in the long run, isn't it? Yeah, but they sell it as cheaper petrol, but then you actually end up paying the price for the price of the boost. I'm an idiot. I've got so much extra chewing gum because I'm like, I'm saving money on petrol. They used to always try and get us to upsell things at Macca's.

Like, oh, when they get to the window at the drive-thru, say, do you want to add a hash brown for $1.50? But my fear of rejection, I just would never try and upsell for fear of them saying no. Yeah, but people are used to it. That's like when you get a cotton on, fuck it. Ash Brown for $1.50. But my fear of rejection, I just would never try and upsell for fear of them saying no. Yeah. But people are used to it. That's like when you get a cotton on. Fuck it.

If you work at Cotton On. The Tote Bag. The Panda for $4. Pull your head in. Yeah. They're like, did you know that sugar gliders are on the brink of extinction? With your shorts that we made in a sweatshop, a lovely two-year-old girl made them. Yes.

You can save the sugar gliders if you buy a tote bag. Or a $5 pack of mints. $5 pack of mints. Old girl made them. Yes. You can save the sugar gliders if you buy a tote bag. Or a $5 pack of mints. $5 pack of mints. Hey, have you ever thought about getting a Frisbee? The Cotton On branded Frisbee. It goes to UNICEF. The one thing that I love at Cotton On is the $1 waters.

I love them. I don't think I've ever seen those. They're like, do you want a cold water for $1? Gets me every time. Oh, yeah, the fridge. Yeah, they've got a fridge. Room temperature. I don't know.

They're trying to save electricity. I went to Macca's last night. I was starving. I bet. I need a wrap. You bet I went or you bet I was starving. Both insulting but one more so than the other. And I waited 29 minutes in the drive-thru because they forgot to turn the grill on because I get the grilled chicken wrap.

Oh, yeah. I love my wraps. And the guy came out. He said, sorry, we forgot to turn the grill on. I get the grilled chicken. I get a grilled chicken wrap. Oh, yeah. I love my wraps. And the guy came out. He said, sorry, we forgot to turn the grill on. We've only just turned it on. It's got a preheat. So it'll be 15 minutes and then five minutes. And I'm like, oh, wait, but I want a refund.

Oh, wow. Such a carrot. You've become so brazen. And guess what? You used to be so meek. Like, oh, I don't want to cause a fuss. I don't want to be assertive. Fuck, you've gone so far the other way.

Oh, three years ago, I would have run in there and gone to the petrol station and got an Elgas can and lit it up myself. How the fuck have we swapped personalities? Because now I'm like the you catch more flies with honey, try and be nice to people, and now you've become an absolute bitch. You kill more flies with more tea. Me, I would have been like, no, take your time. We have swapped.

Well, you were pushing me to stop being such a pushover. I've created an absolute monster. Now I push people over. No, I'm not. But I did get a refund and I did get my wrap and it was fresh. This is off topic, but can I confess something to you? Yes. The reason I just said, no, I bet when you said I went to Macca's is because, peeling

back the foreskin, quietly the last few months I've been working on a video montage of Coombs roasting chewy. Yeah. I wanted it to be 60 seconds of Coombs roasting chewy, and I'm so close to the 60-second mark. So if you notice me dissing you more than often, it's because I want to get the video done. Oh, my God. I just thought you hated me.

Yeah. No, they were all snide remarks that I've made over time, going back like three years. Oh, my God. And I'm so close. I really thought that I insulted you more often than I do. I thought it'd be easy to fill 60 seconds. I think that's quite sweet, actually.

Yeah, that's really lovely. You actually, your body wants to, but your brain won't let you. I'm so close to finishing the 60 seconds. Really? Yeah. Why 60? Where did you get that number from? I don't know.

It just sounded catchy in my head. What number? 60 seconds of Coombs roasting cherry. Yeah. Well, then I've also, surprise, pulling back the clit. I don't think you should do that. Should do that. It'd hurt. No, I don't think you can pull back a clit. No, some have hoods on them. Yeah. Everyone's different. Yeah. Yeah. But you'd be pulling back the hood, not the clit itself. All right. So pulling back the hood for a moment. I've been compiling and I'm five seconds away from a Mitch Turi compliments Coombs montage. Oh, fuck off. I actually have four hours of content, but I need to trim it down.

Name one. Oh, I shed it off the cloud. What did I say to you when I walked in here today? Can't recall. I said, your jacket looks nice and you look very handsome. Oh, you didn't go that far, but thanks. Yeah, I didn't hear that. I did say it.

You did say it. But we didn't stop down for long. No. He was like mid-story. He was like, oh, the craziest thing happened. By the way, that jacket looks nice. So anyway. That is a lovely jacket.

Thank you. You do look good. You do look good. All right, well, I can't wait for this montage. It'll come whenever you've been a c*** to me one extra time. One more time. I can't wait. Sorry, that was a bugger.

No, I've got a few disses to go before I fill the 60 seconds. All right. Well, if you're just tuning in for the first time, welcome to Is It Just Me? Welcome. Every show is the same. We start with an idjim in Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate, or something we appreciate. Mine, actually, this week is a continuation on, and I, in your theory that I'm becoming

the Coombs and you're becoming the Cheery. You're becoming more nasty. Yeah. I have done something that has made me feel the best I've felt in a long time. And it's a continuation of something we were talking about last week. Oh, okay. Let's get into that one. Bradley, cue him in, please.

Is it just me or? Does doing an act of kindness feel so bloody good? Oh, you've paid it forward, have you? I've paid it forward. What did I do? What did you do? First of all, oh my God, this is so stressful to pay it forward. I've never tried to do it.

I wouldn't know. You all have to give it a shot because first of all, I'm going to play some audio of the attempts because I had multiple attempts. People were rejecting your random act of kindness. Yeah. So this was off the back of the show last week. Someone paid it forward for me and Steve and my boyfriend. They bought us juices.

And then I found it awkward because I said thank you, but then he lingered. And then I felt I had to pay it forward to the next person. It was the lingering that was weird. Yeah, it was awkward. And I was saying that I think an anonymous pay it forward is better. Like you pay for the person in the drive-thru behind you. You never meet them. You never soak up the glory of your good deed.

You just know that you've done something nice for someone. It's a nice surprise for them. Oh no, see that is ultimate humility. I need the praise. If I'm paying money for it, I want the fucking praise. So you did the linger despite knowing yourself from experience that it's fucking awkward. Correct. So I'm going to play for you my first attempt. This is my first go at it. I narrated the whole thing getting out of the car and walking. It's called Attempted Kindness 1. There's seven recordings after because I had failed attempt.

What you don't realise is people pay so quickly. Yeah, because of pay pass. No coins. No, between them saying an almond latte and then me trying to get in to say, hello, I, they just pay. And I'm like, fucking hell. Wait, were you just lurking there, waiting? You didn't buy something.

It wasn't the person behind you. Oh my God. Okay. This is my first attempt. Ready? Let's roll. So I'm walking up to the cafe. I'm feeling awkward.

I don't know how to say it. I also don't want to scare them. There's someone there. God, I'm puffed. I need to get my breath. Otherwise they're going to think I'm about to kill them. I'm standing right behind them. Okay, here we go.

So you're just going to try and swoop in? Yeah. It's a man. Okay, he just paid. I wasn't quick enough. Wow, this is a really stressful game of roulette. Now there's no one next in the fucking line. Anyway, that was my first attempt.

Oh, no. It's really stressful because you've got to watch from afar, then run up, and they're going to think I'm trying to kill them. Yeah, what's the agenda here? Just running up and diving for the visa machine thing? Correct. What are they called? I would be looking around being like, I'm being filmed.

Yeah. Like, this is some weird stunt. Which they weren't being filmed, but they were being recorded. Then I was behind a tradie who was lovely and I thought, this is good. This tradie's got a tool belt on. He had a blueprint under his arm. He'll get one arm and cap and he'll be out. He paid so quickly on his Android watch that I couldn't get it.

So then I had to fucking buy my own coffee. Ready? How are you? Good. That's good. So busy. I know, it's busy. So that's your coffee?

Crazy. Were you here this morning? Is there someone behind you? Yes. Flat out, really? Yes. Okay, thank you. I know, it's busy. Is that your coffee? Crazy. Were you here this morning? Is there someone behind you? Yes. Flat out, really. Okay, thank you. I'll wait for that. I'm gossiping to this woman.

Also, were you here earlier? She's picked up on the loitering. She acts like she's standing there, like heavy breathing. So this is the moment. I'm sweaty. I paid it forward, and I'm a little miffed. I don't think she deserved it. You'll hear why. You'll hear why.

You'll hear why. Here we go. Okay, there's a woman. She looks like a CEO. She's my only option. My hands are fucking sweating. Here we go. I'm going to do it. Excuse me, can I pay for your coffee? Do you mind if I grab yours? I'd like to. No, I want to. I really want to. I'm trying to do this thing where I pay it forward

and I'd love to buy your coffee. Can I? That's so sweet of you. Oh, absolutely not. Let me do it. Let me do it. How much is it? What are we talking? Oh, $10.50? Fine. This is the second time this week. This has happened to me. Get out. When did that happen before? Someone paid for 50 coffees. Oh, 50. At a cafe I went to after I got off a plane the other day. 50? What?

And so I got a free coffee the other day. Oh, my God. What's your name? Karen. Karen. Enjoy. Enjoy the day. There you go.

No worries. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks, Karen. Oh, my God. I feel so good. I feel so good. Oh, my God.

I'm a changed person. I go on. I go on. We're talking into my phone, but I paid it forward. This isn't the first time she's been paid forward. That's how I felt, yeah. She said that someone at the airport just kind of opened a, not a bar tab, a cafe tab.

Yeah. Said, I'm going to pay for 50 coffees so the next 50 customers get it for free. That's what you should have done. Yeah, they outdid you. Like, anonymous, you know. I'm not a bank. I mean, if we want to put it on the kiddio, sure.

Did Karen seem grateful? She did seem grateful. And then she went and sat down with her friend because she was there with a bank. I mean, if we want to put it on the kiddio, sure. Did Karen seem grateful? She did seem grateful. And then she went and sat down with her friend because she was there with a friend. Her friend kind of looked at me and gave me a wave. Oh, that's cute. That's sweet. You know what? That's what it's about.

And it made you feel good. It did make me feel good. $10. What's $10? And you know what? I'm an idiot because I've got the new kiddio card and I use my own card. Oh, so you should have kept the docket. And then I could have kept the docket.

And then I could have claimed the good deed on tax. Full circle. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Listening on Spotify. Don't forget to leave a five-star rating. All right, coming up on Wednesday's episode, you know how we were talking about doing singing lessons together as a hobby hunt? Yeah. I'm still down. I'm still down, but I have concerns. With my availability

and my flakiness? Well, apart from that, I have my own concerns. Oh, with your vocal skills? Kinda. But that's your point of, that's why we're doing singing lessons. You're not going to start tennis lessons and go, I'm scared, I won't be good. You're not good. That's what the lessons are for. Yeah, but it's kind of like that feeling when you tidy the house before the cleaner arrives. I can't go to a singing teacher without a little

bit of warming up or something. Yeah, when I get a full body massage, I always moisturise and shower. I want to kind of be ready for that. I feel like we need to go in a little bit prepared. For starters, we should decide some sort of duet we're going to do together. Oh, yeah. So I know what song I can practice singing in the car before the lesson.

Totally. And we'll need one that has like a little input from, I mean, Jenna will might need it. Yeah, I can pick it. Jenna will have to chime in as well, right? Well, we'll make all the big decisions on Wednesday's episode. In the meantime, idiots, feel free to suggest songs that we should do. Yeah, duets that something has a little feature perhaps that Jenna could chime in. We've already done Alphabet.

What's her name? Fabula and Glenda. Oh, from Wicked. Yeah, from Wicked. Alphabet. I think we did a duet, did we? Oh, we did Popular, which is not a duet. We did Popular.

That was your solo. You were Glenda. I don't know, even though I have been on a Broadway stage. And Juliet, of course, one night only. Okay, I'm excited. excited I'm committed I want to learn to sing I think I've got the vocal chops I'm I'm ready to actually train my voice there's something about going into a singing lesson like going in blind with a microphone on recording for the podcast I'm like I can't raw talk it you know we need to prepare a little bit what if we just

mic up the whole session and then you don't feel like, like we don't do a, hey, here we are doing this. We just go in as if we're two boyfriends, Madeline Love, doing a singing lesson, you know? I think I'd have to tell them we're filming. Anyway, that's off the cloud chat. Yeah, it's definitely foreskin pulled. All right, well, that's coming up next episode. Yes, it is.

Can I just give a quick shout out as well to Carly in our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots, because last week you were talking about how you posted in Reddit threads to try and promote our podcast. Oh, which I've been kicked out of, by the way. Yes. So, oh, sorry, not Carly. It's Carla. No, but that's an update.

Polly Emery, I've been kicked out of the group. Oh, no. That's all right. So you were trying to hustle listeners by posting in really niche Reddit groups, and Carla has done the same thing. Oh, no way. Have you not seen this? No, no, I haven't.

Oh, it's in our group. This is great. God, this cracked me up. I think I've got it blocked, yeah. So Carla wrote in the Pepsi Reddit thread. Oh, brilliant. Hey, Pepsi lovers, craving a podcast that fizzes with fun and a bit of naughty flavour? Tune in to Is It Just Me with Mitch Thierry and Mitchell Coons broadcasting straight from

the legendary Pepsi Palace. That's so stupid. She's also posted this photo of you in the verified feet group. Show me. Oh, that's a good one. It's you jerking off your microphone with your feet. Oh, they would love that. Attention foot aficionados.

Yes. Step into the wildly entertaining world of Is It Just Me with Mitch Cheery and Mitchell Coons, the podcast where no topic is too totally ridiculous, but she's written toe. Yeah, I got it. Oh, that's clever. Oh, that's really well done.

She did quite a few, but yeah, like you, she got kicked out of some groups. Idiots, if you want to hustle, prove your allegiance to the show. Hustle for us. Absolutely. That's brilliant. Why don't we send her a totally tote bag? Yeah.

Yeah, she deserves one. DM us, Carly. We'll send you a tote bag. Yeah, yeah. Should we get into my itcham in the meantime? I want nothing more in life. Oh, that's sweet. Oh, that's beautiful.

Yeah. Wow. This is him trying to do the compliment montage. Yeah, yeah. He wants nothing more in life than to hear me speak. Did you notice I look straight into the camera as well? Yeah. I want nothing more in life.

Are you ready? To be honest, I really don't want to do it, but yeah, sure, go for it. All right, Bradley, let's go. Is it just me or? Do you ever get stressed about being stressed? Oh, that's the only reason I'm ever stressed because I'm anticipating more of it. Exactly. Why?

What are you stressed about at the moment? Yeah, what's wrong? It's happened to me a couple of times recently where I freak out at the thought of freaking out, which then causes me to freak out. Yeah. It's like, what came first, the chicken or the fucking egg? Yes. I went to something at Parliament House because Sean had a work thing and wanted me to come along. I was

like, alright, I'll be the supportive boyfriend. I'll go to this boring Parliament shit. Yeah, and government stuff is boring. You've got to go through security as well before you get in there. Oh my God. No, it actually was interesting, to be honest. But anyway, so afterwards they had like a luncheon, a morning tea kind of thing

with little sandwiches and tea. Scones? Yes, scones, brownies, lamingtons, you name it. That sounds brilliant. It was your classic kitchen tea kind of vibes. And what, you were stressed you were going to bump into Julia Gillard because you look like her? No, nothing like that. But they had, they obviously had cups of tea.

I was fanging for an English brekkie. Yeah. And it was the teacups with the saucer. Yeah. And I'm walking through this crowded fucking room and I'm thinking, this tea is full to the brim. And when you're carrying a teacup on a saucer, the risk is much higher of you tipping it over.

And so, because I was so stressed about, oh shit, I don't want to spill and or drop this tea, I started getting the shakes. Yep. And I'm like, oh, my God, it's going everywhere. I'm fucking spilling tea everywhere. I would have been fine had I not thought about what happens if I spill it. And then I started to get the shakes. Totally. I've got quite good arm strength.

And yet this teacup, I just went, oh, I can't handle it. I'm going to drop it. Fine bone China on fine bone China. Yes. You hear the rattling. See, if I hadn't have had the saucer and I was just gripping it with my hand, I was cupping the cup. You would have been fine.

No dramas. But there was something about the saucer that made it so much more stressful. Yeah, but that's how all anxiety works, right? Like, you know, I had awful health anxiety and I've gotten better. But what made it worse was thinking about what was going to happen. Yes. The things that could go wrong. Totally. And you go, I've got a pain in my arm. Oh my God, stroke. I feel like I'm having a stroke. It's like, no, the brain is so powerful. The brain really does play tricks on you.

It does. But what are you supposed to say to your brain? Snap out of it, dog. Yeah, I know. What do you do? Yeah. I mean, don't drink the tea. The caffeine in that's probably exacerbating the shakes. Probably, actually. That's actually a good point. Yeah, yeah. It happened again recently.

I went to an AFL game. I know. Can you believe? Who are you? Parliament House and an AFL game. I know. Sounds boring, but continue. We went to an AFL game, me and a few friends, and we sat right up the fucking back, like

full nosebleeds. There was literally no one behind us. Who was playing? Oh, Mitchell. The Swans, obviously, and the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Oh, all right. Have you ever heard of them? Never in my life.

The Roos. Must be a new team. They had new teams all the time. I have no idea. By the way, is it just me on the fly? Who the fuck are the Dolphins in the NRL? Oh, yeah. Oh, they're new.

Yeah, they're new. They're new. They're very popular. Sound like a bunch of pansies. Yeah. But imagine being on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane Queensland whatever and you've been supporting the Broncos all these years

or the Titans, the Gold Coast Titans all these years and then they just fucking throw the Dolphins in the mix. You're like do I jump ship? Yeah. How do they garner supporters from day one? Anyway who gives a fuck? Footy chat. Um well I actually enjoy a footy game, to be honest. Really?

Yeah, I do. I've been a footy boy my whole life. I went to all the Sharks games, lived around the corner. Because you're a dad. Because dad's an ex-NRL player and I love a good hot dog at a footy game. Nothing's better than a communal mustard and tomato sauce station. That doesn't answer my question. How does a brand new team get supported from day dot?

I think the Dolphins were a team, but they were in lower grade. And I think then they went high again. Really? Yeah. I have no idea. But the Dolphins is not the right name. 30, 10, 60. Are you a Dolphins supporter?

I doubt there's one. And if it was, it would be one fucking Dolphin. Oh, Dolphins. But anyway, point being, I went to the AFL and we were right up the back, so a lot of fucking stairs. And it's quite steep, those stadium stairs. Yeah, they are. And they're also not that big of a stair.

Like my foot would overlap the step. Shallow. Yeah, they were quite tiny steps. And as I'm walking down these really steep stairs, I thought, wouldn't it be awful if I tripped? Oh no. And then, wouldn't you know, jelly legs. I'm like, oh no, I'm going to trip.

I'm going to trip. Which then increased the likelihood of me tripping because I was nervous about tripping and got the shakes. Mitchell, once again, I fear this might be a conversation for your therapist. Oh, well, I'll just go fuck myself then. No, no, please don't. I don't have anything I can help with. I didn't ask for your help.

I said, is it just me or do you get stressed about it? It's definitely not just you. It's definitely not just you. There you go. It's not you. I do it too. I fear about losing my hair and then one hair falls out. I see it on the desk and I am back on Google.

Pills to help. Turkey, flights. We all get stressed. And as Demi Lovato said, it's okay not to be okay. She did say that. Did Demi Lovato coin that? Are you sure? I think she coined it, yeah.

I think she copyrighted it. Then she did some crystal meth, so I really don't know if I should be listening to her advice. But she's good now. She's good. She's come back. She's in a good place. I haven't been keeping up with Dem. No.

Couldn't tell you. Demetria. Is that her name? Yeah. She's her now, right? She's changed her pronouns back. I think so. Good for her.

Last I checked. I like to be very on top of it. Clearly. We're in very different moods today. I'm fucking knackered. Oh, I know. And I'm ready to go. And you're just spitballing

Nonsense I can't keep up I'm still catching up From three thoughts ago Of yours Also I love how Demi Lovato just randomly Came up

Totally Well I was thinking Of crystal meth And crack cocaine Why were you thinking of that? I don't know My prep for Chapel Rowan You see

Yeah right Of course Natural progression What's she got to do with that? Midwestern princess. You can't just say things. H-O-T-T-O-G-O. They made us do that in bar class the other day.

Oh, I did it in Pilates yesterday. What did they made you do it? Well, because you've been to one of my bar classes. I have. They do like the warm-up dance. Oh. And the instructor was like, all right, we're doing this one. You all know it, don't you?

Everyone went, yes. And I went, I don't know the fucking H-O-T-T-O. I don't know the moves. Oh, I love it. Oh, I don't know the moves. No. They made you do the dance. Yes.

Oh, God, no. I thought I was quite clear about that. No, no, I thought they made me do it. We did the dance with the straps on. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Should we all try and do the apple dance? The what?

The apple dance. What's that? I think the apple's rotten right to the core. I don't know anything about that. Charlie XCX apple dance. Yeah. I prefer chapel. You don't have to pit women against each other, Jenna.

We've had this discussion. Sorry, I need to stop doing that. You really must stop being sexist. Yeah, I do have to. Yeah, very different moods. Apologies. Is it just me? That's enough of these two.

Now let's hear, and is it just you? Yeah, I love hearing from our idiots. It's nice to talk about them, but then when you talk to them with an is it just you, you feel like you're really connecting. Like, I feel like I'm Kamala Harris down on the front lines, championing and pioneering and shaking hands with the real people of the world. Okay. Well said. That was beautiful.

I enjoy chatting to our listeners as well. Yeah, I really do too. Doesn't it make you feel soul of the earth, connecting to our base? I feel like that 24-7 soul of the earth. I love them. See, I just don't reply to their emails. Exactly. The hordes of messages and the love letters, to be honest.

It's exhausting. Not those love letters. Today, we're doing an international. Beautiful. We haven't done this in a while. I know. We're going to be chatting to someone who is in Canada. Canada.

I know. Yeah, barely know her. So have they stayed up late for us or gotten up early for us? We'll have to ask because I don't really know. Who are we talking to? We're talking to Adrian. All right. Let's give Adrian a call.

Listen to that dial tone. You can tell it's international. I like it. Smells like maple. We're quite a few Canadian idiots, don't we? We do. Hello. Is this Adrian? Hi, speaking. Hi, Adrian. Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. How are you? I am good. How are you guys? We're really good. I like your accent. What time is it where you are? Thank you.

It's 12 after 10 p.m. here. Oh, what a weird way to say it. 12 after 10 after 9 is where we are. I hope we're not keeping you up late. I'm running on fumes, so sorry. Oh, you poor bugger. So is Coombs. So you guys can connect on that energy.

Terry's had me in this studio since the crack of dawn. I wouldn't have said crack after the last conversation. Jenna's relapsed again and she's back on the alfoil and the old lighter, you know? Just like Demi. Yeah, just like Demi. Now, listen, great to have you here. We love you. Whereabouts in Canada did you say?

What city? So I live in Ottawa, but I'm visiting Montreal right now. Oh. French-Canadian. It is French-Canadian. Oh, do you know Celine Dion? I wish. I saw her documentary, though.

Really sad. Same. The stiff person's in your eye. I haven't watched it yet. I'm worried. Looked pretty limber at the Olympics, but anyway. Hey, what we're going to do now is we're going to get you to have an Is It Just Me of Your Own, something you've noticed you hate or appreciate.

How long have you been listening to the show? Are you like an OG Canadian idiot? I started like at the beginning of the pandemic and then went back and listened to everything right away. Oh, wow. Pretty much. So that's basically an OG. The pandemic was 2020.

We started in like 2019. Totally. It's like a pass. You're an OG. I'll take it. You're basically there. I just don't know how people can binge these episodes. Like it's friends or something.

Like so much has happened with such different people. Do you listen to the originals and then now and think, God, they're bitter and twisted fucks now? Yeah. How have we changed as human beings? Yeah. How have we changed? I think you guys are a lot more vibrant than the first time.

I remember hearing you guys trying to find your footings at the beginning and now Jenna's got her own thing going. The Misfits was a great addition. Miss the Misfits. Yes, thank you so much. All right, let's go. Hit us with your Is It Just Me? Bradley will count you in.

One of our first Canadian idjams, I think. Is this our first? I swear we've had a couple. Who's the one that sent us all the lovely toques? Oh, we got a toque. I love the toque. Was it Trisha? From Alberta.

Alberta, that was from Alberta, yeah. Her name was Albertaque. Was it Tricia? From Alberta. Alberta. That was from Alberta. Yeah. Her name was Alberta, what? No. Alberta's a place in Canada. Right. Yeah. All right, Adrian, hit us with your region.

Let's go. Is it just me or? Did you also recently find out that your near-death experience story is being passed around like an urban legend in your hometown oh hello oh now okay okay this is good i'm sitting up straight what do you mean so should i start with a whole near-death experience story or cut to the very end about it being shared around no give us the need of experience i think we need to know the need of experience it happened to you adrian yes to me. So this was way back in the eighth grade.

So that would have been, oh, God, like 10 or 12 years ago for me. Yeah. So we went on a trip to a town 10 hours away and stayed in the dormitories of a university. That sounds nice. On the first morning there, I had my first ever epileptic seizure in the dorm room that I shared with three other kids. Yeah. And the best part was the only one to kind of notice me at the beginning and to see me convulsing on the floor. Wow.

Just came over and said, Adrian, stop goofing around and just went back to sleep. You were all asleep. Well, it was like first thing in the morning. So some of us had had breakfast. He was just playing like a game on his phone, I think, in his bed. Oh, right. He thought you were being a goofball and then he just let you continue. That is so unhelpful.

Just being like, get up. You're lucky nothing happened. What happened? So a couple of the other kids noticed and they called the teachers and everything and they were able to get me to the hospital in time. But I was super lucky because I guess I've had a few seizures in my life. Thank God. It's all good. But did you say that was the first?

That was my first of three that I know of. Oh, right. That's scary. And you didn't know that you were prone to seizures at the time, I'm assuming. Are you epileptic now? I am, yeah. Shit. Medicated, all good, seizure-free. Okay.

What a way to find out. Okay, so you did almost die. Yeah, they told me that every time I've had one, hopefully this doesn't trigger anyone who doesn't like blood or anything. Jenna loves that. But I bite my tongue open every time I do it. Oh, no, no, you didn't. Yeah, and so if I'm kind of laying in the wrong way,

I can choke on blood and drool. So thankfully I was on my side. Oh, God. Good. Okay, all right. Now I am wondering how that then becomes local legend. Fast forward to that part. So basically that was one of two seizures i had on an eighth

grade school trip out of my hometown yeah it happened again a couple months later i'm sensing a pattern yeah um it happened again so then cut to uh i was halfway through university this is a long time from then um i meet this girl uh friends of a friend, and we're all having drinks and having a good time. And she lets me know that she's actually the daughter of one of my eighth grade teachers. And it turns out when I was telling this near-death experience story when we were all having drinks, and she just goes, oh, my gosh, you're seizure boy. gosh, you're seizure boy. So it turns out her mom has been telling her students about this story every year since I graduated. Oh, right.

Wow. But it actually happened. Because you always hear teachers tell stories about like, don't swing on your chair. I once had a student crack their head open. Yes, and it always happens at camp. Don't jump on the bunk beds. I once knew a girl that was sandwich pressed between two bars.

And don't look out the window when the window's up because it could fall and decapitate you. I know a girl that it happened to. Yeah. So you're the boy that it happened to. And you even have a name. Yeah. Yeah, I'm Caesar Boy.

Wow. That's the first word I've been told. Caesar Boy sounds kind of cute. Wait, so are you straight? Did you get with this girl? Was that kind of like, yeah, you want to fuck seizure boy? Did you use it to your advantage? Oh, no.

I am as gay as the month of May. There was no way that was ever going to happen. Yeah, it's the month of May. I'm stealing that. That's great. Well, if anyone wants to fuck seizure boy, any boys out there that want to get the notch on their belt, that's funny, Adrian.

Wow. Yeah, my boyfriend loves it. They all seem to happen these seizures in some sort of education environment, uni, school trips. Maybe that was the universe telling you to drop out. Yeah. Honestly, I should have. I just wasted a lot of money on university and school.

Yeah. That's so funny. Confidence booster for you that you know that these teachers running around, you know when you meet someone or you're at an induction and they're like, three fun facts about yourself. She'd be rattling off, I once had an ear piercing, I've got a dragon tattoo, and a boy once seizure when I was on grand. We call him seizure boy.

He's an urban legend, wow. Yeah, congratulations, Adrian. I guess so, yeah. Well, the only thing that happened to me at school, Hannah Pemberington showed me her boobs. Equally as traumatizing. You can't keep first and last naming these people. That was a fake name.

Aren't I good? Did it sound? What's it called? Heather Featherington or something? Why is it Bridgerton? I don't even remember. Yeah. Margaret House of the Dragon showed me her bits and I loved it.

Well, Adrian, I don't know how logistically it'll work out. We're going to try our best to send you a limited run Ijum tote bag. Yeah, don't hold your breath. The international shipping might take a bit, but it's on the way. Yeah, we're coming on. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. If it doesn't, worse things have happened, clearly.

Clearly, yeah. By the way, we kind of glided over it. Did you have to get stitches in your tongue? Oh. To be honest, I'm not sure. That's a good question. Every time it's happened, they always ask me, like, were you conscious? What do you remember?

But I'm always unconscious for the entire time. And when you have a seizure, you don't have energy for the next 24 hours. So you don't remember the sight of your own tongue? Yeah, exactly. All I know is that now the side of my tongue is really bumpy and scarred. Oh, Adrian. Listen, we'll get a photo up on the Adrian socials of Adrian's tongue. Thank you for joining us. Put your boyfriend on. Is he happy with the sight of your tongue? Oh my goodness. Hey, no complaints.

What's your boyfriend's name? How long have you been together? His name's Jesse. We've been together for just under, it'll be a year in October. Oh, my God. Cute. Congratulations. Yeah, first ever big relationship. Oh, my God. The scarred tongue hasn't scared him away yet.

Yeah. Oh, that's really cute. I'm happy for you. Thank you for listening to the show. We love you. Thanks, Adrian. Thanks, guys. Bye, guys.

Bye. If you want to come on with an Is It Just Me of your own, it can be a near-death experience if you like or just something simple and mundane. Up to you. You can just hit us up on Instagram at couple of Mitches or we've got a text line. The number is

042-294-8202 042-294-8202 Send us a text, please. We actually got a text that I wanted to read out. Oh. It's not an id... Well, it is an idjim, actually. Yeah. Maybe she was hoping to come on, but I'm just going to read it out.

Yeah. Stacey Walsh from Bourke, New South Wales. Oh, Bourke. Is it just me or has Jenna's confidence with speaking on the pod since doing a couple of misfits been great? Oh, that's so lovely. During the latest episode, I was surprised with how involved she was and was literally out loud saying, go Jenna. Oh, that's nice.

Even look at the video of her handing out the flyers. She smashed it, clap emoji. Yes, she did. You did smash it. Thank you. That's so lovely to hear. We are proud of you, Jenna. Thank you so much.

But I think people need to know it's because of the man in your life. Who? Jonathan. You're gaslighting me. Sorry, I've just got to fucking top up my parking over here. Oh, fuck it. Oh, no. Oh, no. We of course love you, Jenna. You can say whatever you want, parking over here. Oh, fucking hell. Oh, no. Oh, no.

We of course love you, Jenna. You can say whatever you want, whenever you want. But shut up for a second. Mitchell. Pay your parking. I've done it. Yay. How much was it, by the way?

Four bucks. Oh, fucking hell. So eight bucks an hour. Gee, that's steep, isn't it? Well, listen, you'll be hearing more ads on this episode. To pay for Mitchell's parking. Please buy merch. CoupleofMitchells.com.au.

To pay for my parking. You know what I just thought of? Jackie O, famed rich broadcaster, doesn't use her park. You just take an iPark in Kyle's. How does she not use her park? Because she leaves in the morning and then the next person doesn't take it until like 5pm. Oh, yeah.

And I'm often here at 5pm, so that could become an issue. Oh, no. The woman I work for. Okay. Amanda Keller. It sounds like you work for Gina Reinhart. You're not allowed to talk about her. Her spot's available.

Is it? Yeah. I'm not brazen enough to park in Amanda Keller nor Jackie O's spot. Why don't I park in their spot, you park in mine, and then I can take the bullet for you. Oh, that's so nice. I'd do that for you, Michael. What's your name?

Jesus Christ. Wow. That's your name. Jesus. Tickets on himself. How did you forget my name when we're a couple of Mitches? Oh, you're Michael. What's your name? Jesus Christ. Wow. That's your name. Jesus. Tickets on himself. How did you forget my name when we're a couple of Mitches? Oh, you're right. Damn it.

I get so confused. Do you forget your own name ever? No. No. No. I'm too self-involved for that. We're going to go. Thank you for listening.

We'll see you all in a couple of days. It's going to be a good episode. Yeah, we're back on Wednesday. Catch you then. See you, idiots. Bye, idiots. 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 isn't. We keep talking shit for a bit. Yep. We gossip. I went to the premiere of Hamilton this week.

Oh, yes. So good. It is a good musical. So good. I forgot how good it was. The hype around it was like, remember when it first came out and even Barack Obama couldn't get a ticket? And they were like, no one. That was thousands of dollars.

Thousands of dollars. But it's back in Sydney. It'll do a national run. But God, I loved it. It was so good. Just a little theatre wreck. If you're in Sydney or you want to fly to Sydney, have a little weekend, you get like early bird tickets.

Didn't you audition for Hamilton once? I did. No, not Hamilton. What did I audition for? You auditioned for something. I'd love to know how our current show sponsor Titanic the musical would feel about that glowing plug you just gave

to a musical that's not paying us. It's all Michael Castle group. So it's all the family. It's in the family. So yeah, I'm smart enough. Is Michael Castle himself sucking you off or something? Excuse me? Michael Castle's happily married. You've mentioned that name so many times. Not on this show. Yeah.

Name one other time. Roll the clip. Silence, because it's never happened. No, I think that's three episodes. The Angeliet era. Yeah, because, guys, Michael Castle group put me on the stage. We get it. You say dinnerly every fucking second word.

Not on this podcast. Listen, I was at Parliament House, fuelled by dinnerly, and I had a cup of tea with dinnerly English breakfast inside. You know what? It's been a while since we've done. Hit me. Reflected on celebrations happening today. Oh, what is it? You know, like, it would be like something absurd, like, oh, National Mosquito Day or

something like that. Oh, I for a second thought it was Jenna's birthday. I'm like, we can't talk about this again. You forgot again? What is it today? Pancake Day? No, it's not Jenna's birthday incident. National Eat an Almond Day?

Are you going to rehash it all again, are you? No, I know what day it is today. What? Do I say it? Why wouldn't you if you know what it is? She gets a review saying, happy to hear how confident she is, and now she's going, my lap to speed. She's forgotten how conversations happen.

Today, recording day. No, not today. The day the episode comes out. No, no. Release day. I'm talking about the few days before it's released. It was International Cat Day. Oh.

And it was also the day that Mary McKillop died. Oh. How bittersweet. Did they plan that? You know she died across the road. Yeah. Mary McKillop. Have you been to that Mary McKillop cafe just over the road?

That's not Jesus's mother. That's Mary Magdalene. I don't think Mary had a last name. Jesus is Mary. Yes, she did. Mary. Magdalene. They're different people, aren't they?

Mary Magdalene. No, I'm being serious. Mary Magdalene was Jesus's mum, allegedly. I don't think so. Was she? Yeah, Queen Mary. What the fuck are you on about? She met him at a pub in Sydney.

Yeah, the first thing that comes up in Google, well, yeah, Mary Magdalene wasn't Jesus' mother. Who's Mary MacKillop? I'm not joking. She's the newest Australian saint. And she died opposite the Pepsi Palace? Yeah. Yeah. They've got a cafe downstairs, the Mary MacKillop Cafe. They've got a souvenir shop. The newest Australian saint. And she died opposite the Pepsi Palace? Yes. Yeah. They've got a cafe downstairs, the Mary MacKillop Cafe.

They've got a souvenir shop. So I paid it forward. Hold on. And what was her one act of sainthood? How did she get her sainthood? What was her miracle? You've got to perform a miracle to be crowned a saint. Yeah.

Jenna, get Googling. Yeah, let me tell you. Well, when I say that, I kind of expect Jenna to Google it, not you, Mitchell. Yeah. That's why I am Googling it. She wasn't. No, so today, release day of this episode, Monday, 12th of August, is World Elephant Day. It's also the first day of afternoon tea week.

Oh, now I can get around that. Why don't we get some finger buns for next week? I love finger buns. Well, Wednesday, it'll still be afternoon tea week. Yeah, you're right. You're not wrong. Read out some other ones happening in this week. Baseball fans day.

That's the only other one. Yeah. Don't know what that means. Fans of baseball. The day that the episode comes out on Wednesday, Wednesday, 14th of August, will be World Lizard Day. Oh, yeah. And then there's National Tattoo Removal Day.

You know, I had a thought recently. I might just get a tattoo because you can get them removed. Yeah, but apparently it hurts. It's not that straightforward. Look at this hideous art pop tattoo. I've been thinking about getting that's one of the things on the back burner. Getting this fucking tattoo removed. Look, I think you should. But it's painful and expensive to get tattoos removed. Yeah, but it's for tattoo removal week or day.

I had to spontaneously get it done this way. If you are a content creator, you could just reach out to Tattoo Removal Week team and say, hey, I'll be the face of this year's campaign. It's not a bad idea. Seriously, make some cash out of it. But apparently it's really painful. Yeah, it hurts.

I don't know if that's going to entice people to go and get their tattoos removed. Me on camera going, ow! Ow! Have you ever had laser hair removal? No. Oh, yeah. Have you, Jenna? Yeah.

I wonder if it's the same because it's just laser. I think it's worse. Then laser hair Jenna? Yeah. I wonder if it's the same because it's just laser. I think it's worse. Then a laser hair removal. Yeah. I've been told that laser hair removal feels like an elastic band being slapped onto your skin. It's not as bad as that. I can handle that. I can handle that too.

No, but like a big slap. I mean, I've had the tattoo done in the first place. True. Does getting it removed hurt more or less than that? Apparently more. More? Fuck. And where are you at with McKillop's sainthood?

Oh, yeah. Apparently more. More? Fuck. And where are you at with MacKillop's sainthood? Oh, yeah. I'm trying to find it because one said that she saved someone in 1961, but she died in 1909. Oh, so Pepsi Palace wasn't here when she died.

No. No, but the building is still there. This is an old suburb. It looks like... Is it an old hospital downstairs? Yeah, it is. Yeah, right. She would have hated the digital payment system on the parking here.

Probably. She'd be rolling in her grave. She would have hated the digital payment system on the parking here. Probably. She'd be rolling in her grave. She founded Australia's first order of nuns. Oh, that's not a miracle. Is that what she did to become a saint? Oh, providing free education to children. You have to perform a miracle. Yeah, I know.

I'm trying to look up miracles. What was Mary MacKillop's miracle? If I find the answer before her and she's had like a three-minute head start, I'll die. No, it says McKillop's first supposed miracle took place in 1961, but she died in 1909. But maybe she set up- Oh, because someone was dying and they prayed to Mary McKillop and then against the odds, this person survived. Ah. A 24-year-old Sydney woman diagnosed with leukaemia was only given five months to live.

Family and friends prayed for her through Mary. So she was performing miracles beyond the grave. Got it. So she got the sainthood posthumously. What's that mean, posthumously? After she died. Post-death. Oh, okay.

Yeah, it's a good word. There you go. Yeah. So she did fuck all during her time on earth. Shit, after Mitch and I die, can one of you idiots just go, I listened to Is It Just Me, the hit acclaimed iHeartRadio original podcast, and it cured my bunions. Imagine that, St. Mitchell Coombs.

St. Mitchell Coombs. Did you know the process to have her declare a saint began in the 1920s? No, I don't. I couldn't get less. But it didn't happen until 2010? I do remember it being a big deal when she was officially a saint. Yes.

Yeah, because she was Australian. She was what? Canonised. They shot her close. I do remember it being a big deal when she was officially a saint. Yes. Yeah, because she was Australian. She was what? Canonized. They shot her corpse. I remember that. They made a big fucking deal about that at the Catholic school I went to. Yeah, at the Vatican. You should just meal.

Do we not have enough big deals? Like, I would have loved more of these things. Have you been to EB Games? Oh, my God. Sorry, I'll don't fucking gaslight me. We all can put up a red sign, huh, fries? But remember when we had the centenary and there was all that centenary? Big deal.

We had the Olympics. It was a big deal. When the Easy Just Me podcast launched, big deal. Massive. Well, do you want to make a big deal for our five-year anniversary coming up? What's the date of it? I don't know. Oh.

It's like early October, I think. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's the same anniversary as Adrian from Canada with his boyfriend. Oh, yeah. It was meant to be. It was.

That's cute. Maybe. Perhaps we could. You just said there's not enough big fucking deals. I mean from the government. Ha! You know what I mean? I mean from, you know, big Australia.

Did you know her Mary MacKillop's tomb is across the road? For God's sake. I didn't see the tomb while I was lining up for my latte. Yeah, the tomb's in the chapel. Oh, good. I didn't set foot in the chapel, lest I burst into flames. I want to see her tomb. I saw Alexander Hamilton's tomb walking out of the subway in New York.

Yeah, but he's not a saint. No, he's not, but he, you know, too scared to mention Hamilton now. Oh, because he's in a musical. Yeah. Michael Castle. Anyway, what else? Can you Google what other saints and what they did? Google, this is a cool story.

Please don't. I'm on the nod as it is. Okay, no, this will really impress you. Google world's youngest saint. Trust me, it's a beautiful story. Hey, get your Kleenex out. You're going to need it. Who is the youngest saint?

Yeah, you're going to absolutely shit your pants. There's two. Well, okay. How can there be two youngest? One was just sainthooded. The one that died in 1902 at age 11 and was canonized in 1950 as a virgin? Well, you'd hope so. Think about it. I would hope that there's not some slutty 11-year-old hope so. No. Think about it.

I would hope that there's not some slutty 11-year-old out there. Totally. Is it the London-born teenager? Yeah. Okay, here we go. Guess what he did? Oh, no, he went on Habbo Hotel and saved someone's life or something and then gave them a sainthood.

You're the worst producer in the world. Okay, here it is. I got the answer so quickly. A London-born teenager who died of leukemia is set to become the Catholic Church's first millennial saint. Yes.

What? Why? Cool, huh? Great question. Tell us why. I'll tell you. He set up a website where people could read the Bible online if you didn't have access to a physical copy or something to that tune. And he's spreading the word of Christ and good for him. And he passed away very, very sad.

But because he spread the word of Christ posthumously, the saint told him he's a young saint. So his miracle was an e-book. I mean, it was a website. Yeah. A digital version of the Bible. Yeah. He's the youngest, most modern saint.

Are we done with saint chat? I really couldn't give even half a fuck. Oh, and here's another one who, after he died, miracle. I think that's how you get sainthood. You have to have died. Oh, my God. But that doesn't make sense. Well, call the Catholic Church.

Mary McKillop's across the road. Apparently, his mum said that from the age of three he would ask to visit churches they passed and would donate his pocket money to poor people in the city.

You've encouraged Jenna's confidence and now look where you've gotten us. We're listening to Saint chat. All right, well, we should probably go. Sure, okay. We'll be back soon, so you don't need to stress. God, my parking's nearly run out again. Oh, my God.

This half-hour spot's killing me. All right, we need to burn through this. Thank you for listening, idiots. We love you. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do.

So we do. I'm going to pop down to Mary McKillips and get a coffee, mate. Yeah. Grab one for me. Yeah. We will see you all very soon. Goodbye. Bye, bub.

Rest in peace, Mary. See ya. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
