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.
Would you rather sit on a cake and eat a dick or sit on a dick and eat a cake?
Sit on a dick and eat a cake, absolutely.
If you sit on a cake you ruin it.
Do you think I'd ever waste a cake by sitting on it?
Now here's Mitch Chooy and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
We've just had coffees on the company card.
I'm feeling buzzed.
And by the way, you offered to get a coffee downstairs, and I had already just had one,
so I'm extra buzzed now.
Are you giving me the Apple Pay for our company card?
It's been the worst thing ever, because I'm like, I'm going to talk about this on the
podcast.
The bing, the bing, the bing.
I'm just keeping every,
I'm keeping all the receipts.
I'm going crazy.
You haven't given me the docket
for this coffee, actually.
No, I haven't.
It all adds up, baby.
I'll get it to you.
I'll get it to you.
Should I be worried?
Am I going to have to check
the bank transactions
and see if you've been doing
dodgy spending?
No, well, we have money.
It's like we've got to spend it.
Yeah, I suppose.
I actually made a purchase this week.
Did you?
I don't know if it came through.
Did you see a purchase come through for Mary MacKillop Place?
No, I don't actually keep an eye on the transactions.
Pricekeeper Jenna, welcome.
Hello.
As you would have heard on the show the last few weeks, the Pepsi Palace that we record
in is next to Mary MacKillop's.
Now, is her corpse there?
Yeah, her tomb is there.
Yeah, what's that actually called?
Is it Mary MacKillop Place?
Yes.
Yeah.
And Mary MacKillop is dead. Australia's first saint. Yeah, there tomb is there. Yeah, what's that actually called? Is it Mary MacKillop Place? Yes, yeah. And Mary MacKillop is dead.
Australia's first saint.
Yeah, there you go.
I visit there regularly now.
Jenna is in love with Mary MacKillop Place.
Are you?
Yeah, I really love Mary now.
The coffee's a bit ordinary though, don't you think, at the cafe?
Yeah, it's not that great.
But the food's good, but I don't eat any of it.
How would you know it's good?
Well, she's a saint.
Of course it would be good. So I wandered by. I it. But I just like going. How would you know it's good? It looks good. Well, she's a saint. Of course it would be good.
So I wandered by.
I was going on a hot girl walk, and I thought,
oh, am I going to go in Miramakell Place?
Had you not been?
I'd never been.
I thought Jenna raves about it.
And that's kind of your vibe, sort of walking around tombs and graveyards at night.
Yeah, I love it.
And I walk in, and to my surprise, there is no merch store.
And I went, oh.
No, there is.
But there was no merchandise.
It's more like a gift shop.
It's a gift shop, correct.
And I wanted merch like a hat or a tote that had Mary's face on it.
And there was nothing.
It was all stupidly priced.
So I went, this is bullshit.
I walk into Vinnie's because, you know, Steve and I like op shopping.
I thought I might find a nice bag.
To my surprise, guess what's on sale at Vinnie's?
What?
You'll never believe it.
Let me get my purse.
Oh, my God. What is it? That me get my purse. Oh, my God.
What is it?
That really is a purse.
Jenna, I present to you.
I'm excited.
This is now part of the Is It Just Me canaconical history.
Yes.
You're the prize keeper.
Yes.
I'd like you, every time we have a caller on the show or an Is It Just You winner, because
we send out the Totally Tote bags, I'd like you to write it down by hand in your Mary McKillop Place vintage notepad.
Oh my God.
How is one supposed to use that?
It's tiny.
Hardcover.
Red, her favourite colour.
It's like an iPad nano-sized notebook.
How are you supposed to write in that?
Oh wow, look at it.
Jenna looks like a giant holding that little book.
Hold it up, hold it up.
It's brand new.
Wow.
And read the price on the back.
So they aren't selling that at Mary McKillop Place, but Vinnie's are.
Yes.
Interesting.
Five dollars.
Five bucks at Vinnie's.
Shit.
Yeah, put that on there.
I wonder if I went there.
Did you get me anything?
There was nothing there you would have liked.
I'm sorry.
At Vinnie's?
Yeah.
Would you want me to get...
Okay, I'll get you something on my next hot girl walk and I'll bring it to your next show.
Well, there is definitely a gift shop at the Mary McKillop Place.
I can't remember what's there.
It's just like key rings and rosary beads and shit.
There's a big statue of Mary and it's $50.
Oh, we're good for it.
I'd really like that.
But isn't this, no one's used this.
No, it's been ripped out.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
It looks like a Pokedex for anyone wondering.
It's a bright red hard shell notepad.
And then does the pen work?
Let's see.
You'd hope so.
Oh, wow.
Yes.
There you go.
So you can write notes.
You can keep the callers and the details.
Oh, this is so good.
Oh, I love it so much.
Are you just being nice, Jenna?
No, I really do.
That is the world's smallest notebook.
That would frustrate me so much trying to write anything in that.
I'd get two words and then have to go to a new line. Yeah, it's not practical. No, but I mean, it's from Mary. And I really do. That is the world's smallest notebook. That would frustrate me so much trying to write anything in that. I'd get two words and then have to go to a new line.
Yeah, it's not practical.
No, but I mean, it's from Mary.
I don't think it is.
I'm Mary's biggest fan at the moment.
Do you really think it's appropriate to be monetising a saint's name?
Isn't the whole point kind of to be holy?
No, Mary wanted it.
She was big into...
Influencer culture.
Yeah, Mary McKeel, famously before she died, had a blue tick. Yeah, yeah, yeahel famously before she died had a blue tick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So she should.
I agree.
I've got to tell you, I felt like a man of the people today.
Why?
Because I caught the fucking train here.
I was so sick of the parking situation.
Fucking side note, did I tell you?
What?
You know how I sit here and I top up my parking while we record?
I'm a multitasking queen.
Yes, yep.
Fuck.
I went downstairs after we recorded and I was in a fucking clearway.
It's a clearway from 3pm and I got there at 3.03pm.
Oh, you've spoken about this, I think, haven't you?
No, no.
Oh, you just told us.
The lines are blurred between you telling us things as a friend and then on the podcast.
I don't remember.
Oh, I did actually.
I sent you guys a fucking ranting voice message.
Yes, you did.
I was like, fuck.
Yeah.
After all that.
So you got a ticket?
Well, I keep thinking that, oh, there's going to be something on my windscreen.
And I'm like, sweet, there isn't.
I'm good.
But then it turns up in the mail like a week later.
Yeah.
You're in New South Wales now.
They take a photo of it and mail it to you.
It's criminal.
So today I was like, I'm going to catch the bloody train.
And part of the reason I wanted to is because a lot of people in my life are really hyping up the new Sydney Metro.
Yes.
Did you go on it?
I did.
Oh, my God.
I want to do it.
And like Sean went out of his way to catch the Metro the day it opened because he just wanted to experience it. My friend Andrew was like, Mitchell, you've got to do it.
It's amazing.
I don't want to sound like a bitch, but it was just a train.
No, Mitchell.
No, he's right.
I was one of the first hundred or so people to go on it.
And?
And it wasn't incredible.
I actually found it a bit terrifying how far underground it is.
Like the fucking flights of stairs, the escalators to get down to it are so long.
And I almost got stuck in the doors.
Really?
Yeah, because there's no driver, so they just shut on anyone.
And there are those anti-jumping doors, too, at the gates.
I think it's great.
It makes you feel like you're in London.
I think about time.
Sydney Quarter.
Nah, I think that what a waste of time not making them double-decker
like all the other Sydney trains.
No, double-decker Sydney.
You can quite literally fit more people.
You can, but these are longer, so you can actually fit more.
And it's quicker and easier to get on and off.
Also, it's the metro.
It's like quick and snappy.
Yeah, Sean was boasting, you can get from Central to Waterloo in 45 seconds.
That's impressive.
But then I'm like, then it takes two minutes to go up the escalator to get out of the fucking station.
Yeah, but it's also beautiful and there's public art.
Is it just me on the fly?
Or is there something inherently gay about mass public transport?
Huh?
Every gay I follow.
Happy Metro Day to you.
Yeah.
They all had their jock straps on and their Opal cards ready to tap on
and tap their boyfriend.
A lot of people in my life were fucking excited about this train.
Yeah.
And I was like, you do realise we've had metros in Sydney for years.
Yes.
Because they've only just opened them in the fucking inner west bubble where all the gays are. Yeah. I used to catch it to our old studio. Yes. And I was like, you do realise we've had metros in Sydney for years. Yes. Because they've only just opened them in the fucking inner west bubble where all the gays
are.
Yeah.
I used to catch it to our old studio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But yes, the metro's cute.
The exact same one?
I've never done it.
I'd love to try it.
Because there's one right here.
Is that the one you got off at Victoria Cross Station?
Yes, I did.
Wow.
And it was fine, but it was no different from any other train.
In fact, I was robbed of the view over the Harbour Bridge.
Oh, yeah, because you're deep underground.
I love it. I think it's perfect. Extending it, this is so Sydney
insular, by the way. Sorry if you're not in Sydney. Yeah, sorry. We've got a new fucking fancy train.
It's so nice. And they're blue. I like the blue. Maybe it was overhyped
a bit for me. I'd love it. I'd love to go on it. But I've got nowhere to go.
Yeah, you never catch public transport anyway, do you? I've got no friends. I've got nowhere to sit.
What do you mean? Where did you get on?
I just swapped at Central.
So you got on the normal train?
Yeah, and then I had to swap at Central and then Central to wherever the fuck we are now.
I can't remember.
So how long did it take you from there to here?
In total, it was 20 minutes, which is pretty much what it would be if I drove.
But that's still quick.
It's four bucks.
Yeah, that's true.
But then also, you do that twice a day every day.
It's still expensive.
It can't be any more expensive than me getting non-stop fines
every fucking week I try to park in this shithole.
But, like, I thought it was advertised as being, like,
seven minutes or something.
It was all the walking either side that was most of the journey.
I know.
But it's nice going through all the tunnels.
And, like, when I was in London,
I got such a kick out of going on the Elizabeth line.
Oh, my God.
That's the most recent one.
Yeah, it's named after Queen Elizabeth on her deathbed.
She said, build it.
I love, there's nothing I love more and will miss more than getting railed.
Please.
If she ever was caught dead on public transport.
No, she was.
She went to the opening of it.
She went to the opening of it.
Oh, okay.
And then she died.
What about how she went to some random's wedding?
Elizabeth?
Yeah, because you can send letters to the Queen and someone just invited her to their
wedding thinking nothing would come of it and then she
just turned up. They're like, fuck me, the Queen's
at our wedding. That's so funny. I wonder if she gave a gift.
She'd have to.
Jenna, can you Google that?
You know what, if I was a major celebrity, more so than I already
am. What do you mean if?
I would, you know how like
Halsey's always like, I got invited to prom by
some 16 year old twink. I would accept them and I'd just turn up and be like, you invited how like Halsey's always like, I got invited to prom by some, you know, 16 year old twink.
I would accept them and I'd just turn up and be like, you invited me, here I am at your
But then if you accept one, you're going to get asked more.
Yeah, but I love it.
I think it'd be so fun.
All right.
Well, any idiots listening right now that would like to invite Chira to something.
Yeah.
Please feel free.
Be of age and I'll come to your wedding, maybe birthday, gender reveal.
Christening.
Prom.
Funeral. Yeah, funeral. I'll turn up. I actually maybe your birthday, gender reveal. Christening. Prom. Funeral.
Yeah, funeral.
I'll turn up.
I actually want to get an invite.
Invite me.
I don't get invited too much.
Okay, so.
I told you you've got the answer.
Yeah, it doesn't appear that she gave a gift.
Her gift was appearing at the wedding.
Her presence was present enough.
Yeah.
I see.
I get that.
She's Queen Elizabeth.
Yeah.
Well, she was, valet, of course.
Can I tell you, it's a mixed bag of emotions for me today because I was having such a good time.
I'm like, oh, look at me.
I'm off to the train wearing shorts.
Woo!
Oh, yeah, I noticed.
It's shorts weather again.
It's so hot.
Those lovely legs.
It's the weather, by the way.
When Jenna let me in, I said, oh, I feel like myself again.
I'm having a great day.
Oh, you love shorts.
It's shorts weather.
He's back.
And then I got upstairs and I realised, gee,
it's a bit fucking hot with this jumper on.
I've got jumper and shorts and then took the jumper off.
It's actually one of ours.
It's the I'm with Idiots merch.
No, it's one of mine.
Yes, it's your one.
Clearly you've found out which is the nicer of the merch.
Mitch's pills, it's terrible.
No, it's the opposite.
Mine doesn't.
Actually, I just figured that I'm obviously going to sell way more of my merch in this
competition that I'm not threatened.
I can still wear and advertise as well and know that I'm safe.
Oh, really?
That's like what Trump wearing a Kamala shirt.
Yeah.
That's how you feel.
Out of pity.
Right.
Well, I hope you get shot in the ear.
Anyway, so this is just a PSA to any idiots of ours
that are going to order one of our jumpers.
This is the first time I've worn it.
Never been washed.
And then I tried to take it off because I was like,
oh, it's too hot, and bloody fluff everywhere.
Oh.
Fluff everywhere.
This is a smear campaign to get people not to buy my merch.
No, it would be the same case with mine.
It's not a smear campaign.
It's a PSA.
And so I took it off, and I'm trying to, you know how you wet your hands
and then just sort of dust your shirt off to get rid of all the black fluff
on my shirt.
Yeah.
In the process of doing that, I realised that I had sweat patches.
Sorry, no plural.
Is it just me on the fly?
Does one of your pits sweat more than the other?
Oh, for sure.
I've been having sweat in the right pit a lot more and nothing on the left.
And so I was like, oh God, those sweat patches, how embarrassing.
Reached into my bag, wasn't looking, and grabbed out hairspray
and sprayed that under my armpit.
Oh, no, Mitchell.
So now my underarm is all crusty.
So I came here feeling so good, loving myself sick,
and now I've got fluff all over me, crusty pits.
Wardrobe malfunction after wardrobe malfunction.
Is it bad that I want to see it?
See what?
Your crusty pit. Yeah, how crusty is it? I don't know. Is it bad that I want to see it? See what? Your crusty pit.
Yeah, how crusty is it?
Say it at the same time.
How crusty is it?
Are we taking bets?
I'm going to have to take the jumper off.
Oh, my God, he's actually doing it.
Are the patches still there?
Let's see.
It's black.
Oh, fuck.
Is it bad?
Show me the left one.
Oh, my God, Mitchell.
Oh, my God, how. Oh, my God.
How is that possible?
I'm not embellishing for the show.
It looks like you've dipped it into a cup of tea.
I know.
So this happened to me yesterday when I was at home.
It's finally starting to warm up in Sydney.
And I was sitting there in like a singlet after Pilates,
and I kept noticing specifically the right pit,
I would just feel sweat drip down my arm.
But this one, the left, absolutely fine.
You need to go to an endocrinologist.
You could have a hormonal issue.
Jenna, can you Google that?
Is there something wrong with me?
Sweating in one pit more than another feminine style man.
But do you reckon maybe the hairspray might have set it?
Oh, you think the hairspray has fixed the problem?
No, the hairspray has actually just set the stain in,
like made it more permanent.
Oh, on the shirt.
Yeah, the shirt's fucked.
You need to wash that thing with some nappy oxysan.
Okay, you might have a condition called asymmetric
hyperhidrosis. See your
doctor immediately because this may have a
neurological effect.
What? What do they mean, neurological
effect? I think it could spread to the brain.
Hold on.
Is that on Google or this is what your diagnosis
is trying to frighten me? No, this is on Healthline.com.
Oh, God. If it's on Mayo Clinic,
you're fucked. Yeah, see, that's not normal, is it? No, this is on Healthline.com. Oh, God. It's on Mayo Clinic. You're fucked.
Yeah, see, that's not normal, is it?
No, it's not normal.
Do you ever sweat out of one pit more than the other?
Yes, all the time.
Okay, so I shouldn't be too worried.
So you both have the condition.
It could be a nerve issue.
I've got so many nerve issues.
You're on my last one.
Welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every week we start the show the same way.
Mitch shows us his pits and then we discuss.
We start with two Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we same way. Mitch shows us his pits and then we discuss. We start with two Is It Just Me?
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine and I don't know Mitchell's.
Mine's kind of targeting you.
My Is It Just Me this week.
Yours is targeting me.
Yeah.
Well, before we begin, I'm upset not one of you asked me how the Logies were.
I think I know the answer.
Yeah, they were right.
Nothing really happened.
I wasn't even nominated. Don't know why I was there. That's like Mitchell being at the
Vet Awards. It makes
as much sense as Jenna being at the... Actually,
no, I was going to say the local Crochet Awards.
Oh, no, that's next week. She got
bronzed last year. Anyway, the Logies were good. Thanks
for not asking. My
just me this week is
I'm back on looking at properties
and you know
thinking about moving out.
Oh good.
Looking at where
I'm going to go next.
Because you said to me
that I had permission
to nag you to start
moving September
last year.
Yeah.
And I haven't nagged once.
So you've had a year
and six months.
I know but I found
my gorgeous little
Stevenny who lives
in the Shire.
Who?
Steven.
You know it's kind of like
Is that a thing Stevenny?
Oh it just came to me in the moment.
I think it'll stick.
So I've just noticed something about real estate listings
that have actually scared me.
Oh, okay.
So that's my agent.
I'm in the rental market at the moment too
because Sean officially lives with me, by the way.
Did I tell you that?
He's moved in.
But yeah, we're looking to get a place together.
Am I?
And yeah, fuck, it's slim pickings at the moment.
Anyway, do you want to go first?
Yeah, I can go first.
All right, let's go.
All right, here we go.
Is it just me or?
Do real estate agents need to chill the fuck out?
Go on.
Yeah.
I have a different take.
Really?
Yep.
Okay, the photos that they use on listings are terrifying.
There's a new trend in the real estate world where you go on a listing,
you want to rent an apartment, it's a two-bedroom apartment,
you click on photos and then actually my heart stopped.
I clicked on one photo and there's a real estate agency that really
are quite bad in this called Brezic Whitney.
They're like an alternative.
You told me that Brezic Whitney are like the elite, like the fancy.
Yeah, they do like architectural design, beautifully styled apartments.
And like a picture with a cat in front of a vase.
What they've started doing recently that terrifies me is they'll put like a poltergeist in the photo.
What's that mean?
It's just a ghost.
It's like a person moving.
Oh.
But have you seen these?
Yeah, I've seen that.
They're moving and it's kind of like an action shot.
It's just like someone who's moving and it looks like a ghost in the middle of the bedroom.
A walking wardrobe with fucking Casper inside.
Have you seen what I'm talking about?
I've seen.
Mitchell, I'm going to find it for you.
See, I've never looked on that website.
I've got the opposite where I feel like they don't need to chill out real estate agents.
They need to try a bit harder because it's such a competitive rental market in a rental crisis. They're not even trying because they know that people
are going to be begging for this place. We've gone to inspections and the real estate have
been like, frankly, so rude. Like, you know how usually it's like a, hello, come on in.
Have you registered? It's like they open it and they go, yep, they go. And they don't
show us around. They just kind of stand there at the door waiting for everyone to leave.
Just the attitudes on them. They're like, yeah, you're desperate and we know that.
I agree.
So in my building there's a few rentals.
Sometimes I get home when there's an inspection and the real estate agents,
level seven, go up.
Yeah, exactly.
They don't give a fuck.
No, but I'm like, I'm not here.
I actually live here.
And they're like, yeah, sure.
Are you up to level 11?
Totally.
I remember back in the day when real estate agents would have cookies or mints or Mentos
at least for you to welcome to the house.
Would you like a cookie?
But now they don't even make eye contact and they give you a mobile number.
If you apply for a place, they don't even tell you if you didn't get it.
Really?
It's ghosted.
See, ghosted.
Great use of the term.
Because these ghouls in these photos, I have to find one for you because they must do like a slow shutter where a woman is rushing to the kitchen.
But they just keep her in rushing and it's scary.
Shall we?
Scroll through these photos and tell me they're not terrifying, Mitchell.
This is a beautiful apartment.
Look at that woman, that ghost.
Running through the holes.
Keep scrolling.
Oh, God.
She's hellish looking.
Yes, she looks like a ghoul.
Isn't it normal to post photos of the empty house
so you can imagine yourself living in it?
Yes.
Oh, I put this there, put this there,
but they've just got this fully furnished and someone living in the house.
And guess what?
Obviously, for identity reasons, they don't show the person's face.
So it's just the back of their head or their side profile with a blurred face.
And it looks like she's sprinting around the house.
It looks like she's running from a murderer, from a killer.
But also, how did they hire this person?
I'd love to know.
An actor or an extra?
She's walking through Newtown.
Ghosts, ghouls, like people needed for real estate shoot.
How flattered would you be if you got that fucking
casting call from your agent?
We need someone that looks spooky and faceless.
Well, Jenna, there you go.
I've got some work for you.
Thank you.
Is it just me?
You can follow the show online.
Just search Couple of Mitches.
If you don't, you're a little bitch.
All right, coming up in episode 230.
I was just about to make a joke.
It's not appropriate.
What was it?
No, don't worry.
230.
No, I wasn't.
No, we can't do that.
That's awful.
Go on, do it. No, that's so...
I can't actually remember the that. That's awful. Go on, do it. No, that's so, I can't.
I can't actually remember the joke.
It's a Chinese, you go to a Chinese dentist and your appointment time is tooth hurt-y.
Oh, I didn't know that that was the setup.
Yeah, tooth hurt-y.
I didn't know it was, I thought it was just tooth hurt-y.
Yeah, I've never heard anything about Chinese.
It's just, when's the best time to go to the dentist?
Tooth hurt-y?
Yeah, when I say I've got a dentist appointment, tooth hurting.
Is it a tooth hurting?
Are you sure?
I don't want it to be rooted in some sort of ignorance.
I don't think it is.
Really?
I've never heard that version.
Anyway, what's happening on Wednesday's episode?
I am bringing a TikTok school to the table.
Fantastic.
And let me tell you, the IJM card.
We're doing well this month, girls and gals and gays,
because I have made a purchase on TikTok shop again. And this is an item that is
currently the most outsold number, the number one seller on TikTok shop this
year. What do you mean by the TikTok shop? Because I don't know what you're talking about
when you say that. Oh, TikTok shop is like, you know how people sell crystals
and this product. Do you just mean people selling stuff or is there like a Facebook marketplace section
on TikTok now? In America there is.
It's called TikTok Shop.
But in Australia we don't have it yet.
But you still get sold a lot of the products.
You just buy them from their private links.
Didn't you buy some lollies for Pig Week?
Yes, I did buy some lollies.
Yeah.
But this week, you know what?
It's going to make your skin glow.
It's going to make your gut churn.
And it's apparently going to make us live 10 years longer, this product.
Oh, my God.
You're so gullible.
I'm not gullible.
I've been using it and I look great.
Actually, I want it.
Yeah, but it also might make you vomit on the table.
So who knows?
We'll roll the dice, won't we?
Yeah, of course.
So that's coming up in episode 230.
I don't know if you've ever been the teacher in one of our TikTok school segments.
This will be good.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Yeah.
It's usually me bringing some nonsense to the table.
Tables have turned, you guys.
I'm teaching. Do you want to write that down in the notebook? Oh, yeah. Also, the God, yeah. Yeah. It's usually me bringing some nonsense to the table. Tables have turned, you guys. I'm teaching.
Do you want to write that down in the notebook?
Oh, yeah.
Also, the pen stopped working.
For fuck's sake.
It's 30 years old.
Just rub it between your hands.
Does that work?
It's too small.
It's the ink flowing.
She's going to snap it.
All right, yeah, so that's coming up.
Do you want to hear my, is it just me in the meantime?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Let's go.
Speaking of TikTok, this flows beautifully.
Bradley, let's go.
Is it just me or?
Are you fucking sick of hearing the word demure?
Oh, yes, absolutely, 100%.
I mean, I am now, but I have to say, roll the tapes.
I was on it before the whole world was.
I slipped in a demure reference on this podcast and you didn't even realise.
No, literally this time last week you said to me,
oh, you look nice, very demure, very mindful.
And I thought, wow, who bought this bastard a dictionary?
Oh, come on.
That was beautifully described.
Yeah.
So you were definitely, definitely the first person I heard use those words.
And then the following day I just kept hearing it.
Like every group chat I was in, someone would reply, very demure.
The next person would reply, very mindful.
And they're all going, huh.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
Where did this come from?
What is this referencing?
Yeah.
And I still don't really know the answer.
Where did this very demure, very mindful, where the fuck did this come from?
Oh, yeah.
Hoping that I know.
Yes.
Luckily I do.
Because I'm very young.
It's a TikTok creator. I actually, I don't know that to give them credit. Luckily I do because I'm very young. It's a TikTok creator.
I actually don't know that to give them credit.
Should I get their name?
I'll get it.
Yes, well, I want to see where it came from because is it just me on the fly?
Has the TikTok search function become so shit?
Oh, absolutely.
Like I search very demure original video and it brings up some stitch
with two likes.
I can't find the original.
I still don't know where it came from and why the fuck it's caught on.
Why does everyone keep saying it?
American transgender woman, Julie Annie.
There you go.
Find Julie Andrews.
What?
Spell it.
Julie Annie.
J-O-O-L-I-E-A-N-N-I.
I'm glad you clarified J-O-O because that's not what I would have guessed.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Julianne Marie.
Here, Mitchell, this is Julianne Marie.
Very demure.
Oh, she's gorgeous.
And also the White House has put out a tweet with very mindful, very demure.
The original is quite simply them being like, see how I chop my toast in the morning?
It's very demure.
It's very mindful.
So there's no one origin.
It's something they reference often.
Correct.
And it was kind of their catchphrase.
I see.
It's got 40 million. Did my makeup demure very mindful a lot of you girls go to the interview looking
like marge simpson and go to the job looking like patty and selma not demure be mindful of why they
hired you here's your okay i get it that's enough okay sure but why is that caught on why is everyone
saying it?
It's culture.
You can't control it because it's the same way that Brat Summer caught on.
People love it.
People can connect to it.
It's not stupid.
Sometimes I feel like I'm doing this show with Kerri-Ann Kennelly and Kerri Packer,
the two Kerris.
It's part of the culture.
It's what people are talking about.
It's ringing.
It's got a catch to it.
It's fun.
For those wondering, the word demure means reserved, modest, and shy, typically used
of a woman.
Correct.
I think, Jenna, you're quite demure.
But I don't think they're using it correctly because they say, oh, that's very demure,
very mindful, to something that isn't reserved, shy, or modest.
I know.
It's kind of just a bit silly and tongue-in-cheek.
Has it become like padam, where the word could mean anything?
100%.
Yes.
It's beyond the actual definition now.
Oh, fuck.
I just don't understand.
Is there something fucking busted about my TikTok feed?
Because I don't get this stuff.
I just think you've got the TikTok feed of a hoselic woman.
I mean, it's probably true.
Do you want me to have a look at what's on my feed right now?
Let's go to each other's feed and let's have a look right now.
No complaints from me.
Mine is a Gen A video right at the top.
For the next week, I'm not going to be doing really any cooking content.
Oh.
Because I'm going to be on a little holiday.
Jo and I are going away.
Oh, good for you, Jen.
Thrilled for her.
Good for Jen.
That's charming.
So what do I have?
Am I going to open my TikTok?
28-year-old billionaire.
It's Barack Obama.
Yes, I'm very much into the politics at the moment.
Oh, okay.
And I'm the boomer.
Yeah.
No, no.
It's cool.
Old fashioned.
This is some lady's designer bag.
Marcy Hirschleven from New York.
See, that will never, ever come across my feet, ever.
Really?
As if designer bags are going to be in my feet.
What's it?
Oh, that's someone singing to their cat.
Of course it fucking is.
It's Six and Gizmo.
Good night.
Great.
Yeah, I hope that cat's final good night.
Okay.
Well, as someone who's apparently up to date with trends,
how long do I have to deal with everyone using the word demure?
I can report demure is done.
Already?
It's only been a week?
Demure is done.
Finally.
Demure is done.
It's had a very short shelf life.
Demure is over.
It was brat summer, demure fall.
And I can't yet predict what winter we're going to have. But do you reckon
Brat Summer's going to be extended because of
where we are in the globe?
Yeah. Oh, yes. We're going to have a
Brat Summer when it gets hot. I know.
It's dreadful. It's over.
You are very demure, very mindful. Am I?
Yeah. Do you know what's going to happen?
I'm so annoyed because I keep hearing the word and then in a
month's time I'll start using it when it's no longer cool.
Yes. I still use things like hee-hee.
Ironically, but I love a hee-hee.
What do you mean?
Like a laugh?
Yeah, hee-hee.
Yeah, hee-hee.
Or them-them, up to you.
When do you hee-hee?
When do you hee-hee?
Like I might say to you, oh, can we get here at X, Y, Z time?
Just mindful that I need to be out of there at a certain time. Hee hee.
So it makes it sound less stern.
It's more like, oh, please.
You're using it as an anti-confrontation tactic.
I guess.
I don't know.
I'm big on staying up to date with trends.
And then once they die, I like to kill them off.
Do you know what I caught myself saying last week?
Neck minute.
Oh, no.
I was like, oh, no, I can't do that.
I said Cozzy lives the other day on air and I wanted to cosy and myself.
Wasn't that like the word of the year or something?
Yes, cosy lives.
No, no, no.
No, cosy lives was the word added to the Oxford Dictionary last year.
Oh, God.
Which is slang for cost of living.
But you can't slang a sentence.
Does the rental crisis become rent-y-christ?
Thank you.
That's exactly right. That sounds like anti-christ. What about rent-y-cry? That's cute rental crisis become rent-y-christ? Thank you. That's exactly right.
It sounds like anti-christ.
What about rent-y-cry?
That's cute.
Oh, rent-y-cry.
That's demure.
Oh, stop.
No, Mitchell, please.
That's enough of these two.
Now let's hear, and is it just you?
Yes, it's time to give someone a limited edition Totally Tote bag.
You can't buy these tote bags.
You can only get them by featuring on the show with an It's Just Me of Your Own.
You can buy a tote bag, coupleofmitches.com.au,
but these are like the premium deluxe tote bags.
Yeah, you could fit groceries in here, a dog, a child.
Did you see someone posted in our group that they actually put their dog
in the Totally Tote bag that they want?
And they said, you were right, Cherry, they fit dogs.
Have I said that before?
Yeah, the schnauzer.
Oh, I need to really engage in that group.
But also, as of this week, apparently the prizes will come
with a handwritten note from Jenna's Mary MacKillop fucking notebook.
Oh, is that what you're going to do with it?
Yeah, you said.
No, I just meant so you can keep note because you often forget
to send prizes out.
It was more for bookkeeping.
I don't forget to send prizes out.
Wait, so with the Mary MacKillop notepad,
you're going to write a custom letter.
That would be cute. I agree.
Just letting you know, the pen
doesn't work well.
It doesn't work well. Did the friction not
help? No.
That's what you get for shopping at Vinnie's.
I think I'll use the last of the ink.
See, you can probably understand why someone
donated this to Vinnie's because they were like,
this fucking tiny ass notebook is so impractical and the pen sucks.
But also the fact that Vinnie's put it at $5.
A lot of money.
It's quite steep.
Also, I love how it says Vinnie's $5 sold as is, but there's a sticker underneath it.
So that was the discounted price.
Let's have a look.
I'm going to peel the original.
Okay.
See, how much do we both reckon?
It's like the price is right.
What price was originally on this? I reckon maybe $ original. Okay. See, how much do we both reckon? It's like the price is right. What price was originally on this?
I reckon maybe $13.
Okay, ready?
I think $10.
It was $5, and now before, it was $5.
Why did they double-sticker it?
What a waste.
See, now Mary McKillop was big on the environmental.
She'd be rolling in her team if she knew.
Hold on.
She is.
I can hear it.
All right, let's get Is it Just You caller on.
Now, we're going to Brisbane today.
Gorgeous.
Yeah.
We're going to talk to Talia up in Queensland.
Let's give her a call.
Brisbane dial tone.
Hi.
Hello.
Is that Talia?
Yes.
Hi, Barb.
You're on the podcast.
What's happening?
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Oh, this is so surreal.
What are you doing right now?
Paint us a picture.
Everything you're doing, wearing, and how you smell.
Well, I'm in home clothes today because I'm doing uni work from home.
Oh, good girl.
Love, what are you studying?
I'm doing interior design and business.
Oh, my God.
Smart cookie.
I love that.
What's your design style? Are're a mid-century girl or
brutalism um well i'm like french provincial like modern classic like honestly i appreciate it all
i don't even know what that means french provincial french provincial i don't think
it'd be your style mitchell to be honest. What makes you say that? It's like farmhouse and stuff.
Hello?
No.
Yeah, it is.
Mitch, you would like it.
You reckon, Mitchell, like French provincial?
Oui.
It's very, like, white.
Yeah, well, that's Mitch's bread and butter.
Can you give us, Talia, give us each our style, like our era,
or our interior design, like era.
Architectural style. Yeah, that's what I our interior design, like era.
Architectural style.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of.
Thank you.
Put that in the Marama Killip notepad.
Based on our personality.
So you think Mitch is French provincial or do you want to rename him?
Well, no, I feel like rustic country.
Like I feel like.
Yeah, that's more me.
I agree.
Yeah.
With like pops of like colour, you know?
Yeah.
Very eclectic.
Yes.
Mitch does have eclectic taste.
And that's bang on.
You've got pops of colour in your living room.
Yeah, I think I've actually gone too far with it.
Some days I get a headache.
There's too much colour in my house.
All right, what about me, Talia?
Beige.
Beige.
I reckon like modern, same like pops of colour.
You know, like you've got to have colour in your life.
Lots of colour. It's the only way to live.
Okay.
All right.
And then Pricekeeper Jenna, brutalism.
What about, like, medieval?
Medieval.
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
Lots of concrete, spires for decapitated heads and whatnot.
Bring it on.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thanks, Talia.
I like that.
Let's get an Is It Just You, something you've noticed you hate or appreciate.
And we're ready to go. Are you ready to go? Just checking. I am, yeahia. I like that. Let's get an Is It Just You, something you've noticed you hate or appreciate. And we're ready to go.
Are you ready to go?
Just checking.
I am, yes.
I'm waiting for the sound.
All right, Bradley, I'll count you in.
Here we go.
Is it just me or?
Do you want to look back at your primary school assignment?
Oh, interesting. Why do you want to? How old your primary school assignment? Oh, interesting.
Why do you want to?
How old are you, by the way?
Because she's like, it was last year.
No, so I graduated year six, 2017.
So I'm 19 now.
Right.
So I remember creating like this seven minute radio snippet with my friend.
Wow.
And it was so fun.
And I would do anything to just like listen back to it.
Oh, you've got to get better at archiving, babes.
Yeah, I don't know.
I know exactly what you mean.
I remember in year five, I did a TV report, like a fake TV report on penguins in Antarctica.
And it was incredible.
And I got sound effects people behind me going, and all that.
And I would do anything to listen to, to watch that again.
You know what?
I would give anything to also go back and watch my PowerPoint presentation on the golden lion tamarin monkey.
I still remember it.
They're endangered.
They live in the rainforest under the canopy cover.
I know all about them.
I know what they sound like.
It's a serious topic.
Mitchell, do you remember any assignment that you'd love to go back on?
I mean, I've got most of the digital stuff because I'm a slut for archiving.
Yeah, but I've got copies of everything.
I've got my old USBs.
I've got everything I did at TAFE.
Once I left school, everything.
I have got some stupid, cute little assignments like paintings and whatever that mum kept
because she's like, that's really cute.
Yeah.
But like high school assignments and things like that, do we need to keep those?
Maybe it's just me on the fly or do we need more like projects as an adult?
I remember making a diorama.
I love dioramas.
And I don't know what was.
I'm stopping you.
No, I know.
You would use the shoe box?
Yeah, that's my point.
You know how many shoes I own, guys?
I'm obsessed with shoes.
I don't keep one shoe box. But back in the day, my You know how many shoes I own, guys? I'm obsessed with shoes. I don't keep one shoe box.
But back in the day, my mum would stack those things up.
Because you never know when you need them.
When you need them to make a diorama.
You know, in fact, are kids these days making dioramas?
I'm not sure.
I feel like it's all on their iPads nowadays.
That's true.
Well, it sounds like everything was digital for you too, darling.
Well, yeah.
I mean, I grew up with iPads.
In year three, I had an iPad, which is ridiculous.
That's fucked.
In year three, I had an iPatch because I was punched in the face on the playground.
No, I did too.
I did too.
Really?
Who the fuck clocked you?
No.
I had a lazy eye.
So you just patched it up?
That's not how that works.
Doesn't that draw more attention to the eye?
This is only at home.
Is that like a training mechanism to make it less lazy?
Oh.
Yeah, exactly.
I think I might patch my whole face up then.
I'm pretty fucking lazy.
It might fix me.
Well, Talia, I think that's a good observation.
If there's any kids out there listening or if you're a parent,
do you do dioramas these days?
Because I love to do one.
I feel like it is cute for the parents to keep these things
so that like one day you might look back at it and go,
oh, I remember that.
But fuck, with Sean moving in, he kept like his year 12 art major work.
I don't even know what it is, but it involves four light boxes.
And I'm like, here we are trying to be minimalists,
trying to do a big car, and you're bringing your Year 12 major work.
Put it in Mum's garage.
We don't need that here.
How often do you look back at that?
On the fly.
But is someone's Year 12 major work terrible to everyone else
but the best thing in the world to that one person?
I don't even know if it's that great for me.
I've got Year 12 major works back at home, but I'm like, Mum,
you can get rid of them if you want.
Anyway, that's my take on major works.
My Year 12 major work was a program and poster for Barefoot in the Park.
What's that?
It was some fucking movie or play or something.
Yeah, I didn't want to do a monologue in drama, so I chose programs and promotions.
Not many people did.
I did graphic design on Microsoft Word.
That's fucking impressive.
That's very impressive.
Yeah, that is very cool.
Wow.
Wow.
I did a monologue and then I did a group performance.
It was very fun.
Yeah, I had to do the group performance.
I didn't do drama.
You didn't?
What?
No, I did it out of school.
I did drama.
Yeah.
Did you?
And you had to do the group performance?
Yes.
We did like multiple.
It was an interesting time.
Multiple?
Yeah.
Well, like up in Queensland, we have like and then, like, we do the same thing in
year 12.
So, like, year 11 is, like, a practice run.
It's a dress rehearsal.
Yeah.
So, like, we're all, like, worried about year 12, and then year 12 was actually easier than
I actually think it was the same for me.
Like, year 11 was more stressful, but by year 12, it's like, we got this.
Oh, I was also, like, blissfully unaware of what I...
I didn't do any homework.
I didn't do any...
I didn't prepare for any exam.
My HSC, I flunked.
I cheated the half of the half the time.
What do you mean?
What did you do?
I just looked over the person next to me.
I also wrote your fucking big head.
Imagine how unsubtle that would have been.
I also wrote all my answers on the inside of my eraser because my mum taught me that
you couldn't do the water bottle.
But mum taught me that you had a rubber and then you'd write the answers to the hard questions or keywords to
remind you on the on the wrapping paper of the of the eraser and i did it i thought they checked
that shit no they checked they checked the water bottle lining you had to have fully clear water
bottles didn't everything have to be in a plastic sleeve you couldn't sneak anything in a pencil
or a plastic um plastic pencil case and the dickheads didn't check the eraser? No, they didn't.
They would have been smaller than the Mary MacKillop notepad.
How did you fit anything on an eraser?
Tiny writing.
Swear to God.
I cheated my way through and I still flunked it.
And you were the fucking school captain.
Great leadership right there.
No, corruption.
I was the Trump before Trump.
Thank you so much, Caitlin.
What was it?
Talia, coming on the show.
Pricekeeper General will send you out a limited edition Totally Tote bag. And she's going to write you a note too, Talia. Oh, Caitlin. What was it, Talia? Coming on the show, Pricekeeper Jen will send you out a limited edition Totally Tote bag. And she's going to
write you a note too, Talia.
Oh, lovely. Yeah, in my Mary
McKillop book. You're going to be the first.
Jenna has been blessed with a Mary McKillop book
and she's going to write you a
handwritten note. Do you want her to slip anything into the message?
Something medieval
related. Oh, okay. Yeah.
I bestow this tote unto
thee, Talia. Yeah. Stop. I love it bestow this tote unto thee, Talia. Yeah.
Stop.
I love it already.
Thank you for listening, Talia.
Thanks, darling.
Thanks, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Oh, what a sweetheart.
I love her.
Hi.
We have young.
Wait, wait, Talia.
Yes.
Is demure over?
What?
Mindful.
You know, mindful, demure, very mindful, very demure.
Is that trend over?
Are we done with that?
Well, I saw a reel about it the other day and I was like,
I've never heard that in my life.
She's in Brisbane.
She might not get that trend for another two years.
Yeah, totally.
I'm a little behind at all.
Okay.
You and me both, bub.
I just thought someone with actual collagen in their skin could tell us.
We're done.
Let's go, Mitchell.
That's the end of the show.
Yeah, we should get out of here.
But before we do, just a reminder,
if you want to come on with an Is It Just Me of your own to win a tote bag and a note from Jenna, send us a text on this number.
Oh, 422-948-202.
Oh, 422-948-202.
Send us a text.
Yep, hit us with your Is It Just Me?
Whatever's on your mind.
You can also DM us at couple of Mitch's as well.
Up to you.
Is it just me on the fly?
Did it freak you the fuck out when Talia said that she was in year six in 2017?
I was like, what?
Yeah, we were working together.
Yeah.
I was an adult by then and she wasn't even in high school and now she's out of high school.
Wait, she was in year six when?
Is this a when did I ask her?
Are you actually asking?
No, I would never do that.
2017.
Jesus Christ.
So when we first.
What?
Mitchell, when we first met, she was in year five.
Oh, fuck.
I had this moment with Stephen on the weekend.
We wanted to watch Despicable Me because I'd never seen it and there was a new one out.
So I'm like, let's watch.
And it was starting like.
But the Minion version was like.
God, I'm glad that trend died.
Yeah.
Anyway, I was like, God, this is so exciting.
I was too old when it came out.
It's fun to watch as an adult.
I'm only a year younger than you and I definitely watched it.
But were you a child?
I was a teenager.
I think when Despicable Me came out.
I never watched it. Stephen went, oh, I saw it in the cinema.
He saw Despicable Me in the cinema as a kid.
As a kid.
So did I.
Yeah, but he was a kid, like baby teeth.
Oh, fuck.
Because how old was he?
Well, in 2010, he would have been eight.
Wow.
We would have had a very different relationship with that movie.
He would have loved the Minions and bought all the fucking Minions shit.
And I was there going, shut up, you fucking arsehole. Me too. Shut up. He would be dressed like a Minion. Oh, he loved the Minions and bought all the fucking Minions shit. And I was there going, shut up, you fucking arsehole.
Me too.
Shut up.
He would be dressed like a Minion.
Oh, he loved the Minions.
Yeah.
And he went and saw all of them in the cinemas as a kid.
Isn't that insane?
I didn't even know there was more than one.
Yeah, there's like seven.
I aged out of it.
They've got their own spinoff now.
Yeah, the Minions.
Do they?
Yeah, Minions.
The movie Minions.
Still?
Yeah.
The Minions movie.
Yeah.
Oh.
How long did they spend thinking of that name?
Yeah. All right, we're done. We will see you all very soon. Yeah, talk to you soon. Yeah. Oh, how long did they spend thinking of that name? Yeah.
All right, we're done.
We will see you all very soon.
Yeah, talk to you soon, idiot.
Thanks for listening.
See you on Wednesday.
Bye.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Bye. Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We pretend the show's done and then we just talk shit for a bit.
Can I tell you, speaking of high school,
do you know what I missed on the weekend just gone?
What?
My fucking 10-year reunion.
Oh, I missed mine too.
Yeah, because you're meant to organise it as the school captain.
You didn't miss it.
It never happened.
Did your school captain organise yours?
No, because they're too successful.
He did.
He very much did.
But I didn't know anyone else going.
None of my friends wanted to go.
Some of them don't even fucking live in the country.
And so I was like, I'm not going to my 10-year reunion.
I would have if there were a few of us, but I'm not going if I don't know anyone that well
because it's just going to remind me of how I felt in high school.
You didn't like high school.
Oh, my God.
I hope one of the cool kids talks to me and they're nice to me.
But, Mitchell, you are the cool kid now.
You're an influencer.
Oh, really?
Yes, you're the cool kid.
You're famous.
You make more money in a week than they make on a year on the farm.
Yeah.
Oh, it's not about that. Oh, it is. And also, they're the cool kid. You're famous. You make more money in a week than they make on a year on the farm. Oh, it's not about that.
And also, they're not all farmers.
I was going through the Facebook event for it.
I don't reckon a lot of people are going in general because they've had to combine it
with the five-year anniversary.
I'm going to be hanging out with fucking year sevens.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought you meant they're like, this is for the five years and the ten years of your
own year.
They're having two reunions at once.
So all the year sevens will be there.
I'm like, get fucked.
No, don't do that.
So you're actually having one.
We just didn't have one because I didn't organise it.
Yeah.
Jenna, did you have?
You're older than us, so you'll be 15 years next.
No, I wouldn't.
15 year anniversary.
That's next for you.
Well, it will be 14 years.
What?
You said the next big anniversary you celebrate will be the 15th.
Well, I haven't received any invites.
No correspondence.
No.
Were you at the 10th?
No, I didn't know it happened.
Oh, bullying from beyond the school.
How rude.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I was sort of on the fence.
I'm like, I do want to go, but I'm not going if none of my friends are going to be there.
Yeah, and you didn't go.
No, I didn't go.
No, they give me anxiety.
Yeah, I was like, I don't want. No, they give me anxiety. I couldn't.
Yeah.
I was like, I don't want to feel that social anxiety feeling from high school again.
Yeah.
And I went to school with such like straight white people.
Like, oh, they're all going to be married.
They're going to have a house with plantation shutters, two gorgeous kids with names I can't
pronounce and frankly don't care about.
And I want to do it.
Do you know what I noticed?
When I was going through the Facebook event, I was scrolling through who is going and I
was like, I don't know who the fuck that is.
And then I realized, oh, she's just changed her last name.
She's married.
Oh, that's quite cute.
A lot of them have photos of like their wedding as their profile picture.
And I'm like, oh, don't rub it in.
I've only just moved in with my fucking partner for the first time.
That checks out.
I feel like a lot of these people, the high school years.
Is that your new totally?
That checks out.
Does it?
What do you mean it checks out?
Oh, yeah. Mitchell's behind the times. Then he just got in a partner meeting. Where did that expression new totally? That checks out. Does it? What do you mean it checks out? Oh, yeah, Mitchell's behind the times.
Then he just got an apartment.
So where did that expression come from?
Some Coles worker that was like, you know what?
Give me these bananas.
Yeah, that checks out.
Yeah, that checks out.
Hand on heart.
I've never heard anyone else say it except you.
That checks out.
Yeah.
Oh, well, there you go.
There's our demua, everyone.
Demua.
Why do I keep saying demua?
Manua.
Demua.
Demua.
I had this argument with Aislinn, my mate slash former co-host,
not my cup of tea, girlies would remember,
when Lady Gaga put out the song The Cure.
And I said it's two syllables, cure, and she said it's one, cure.
I'm like, it's not The Cure.
No, it's two.
Cure.
Thank you.
And Manua, Demua.
It's not Demua.
It's two.
It's dialect based. So in America, they're like The Cure. Aure. It's not demure. It's two. It's dialect based.
In America, they're like the cure.
Asian's not American.
No, I know, but she wishes she was.
Maybe it's because her parents are British.
Cure.
Manure.
Cure.
No, but even if you're British, the cure.
I also don't care enough.
I didn't know that this whole time doing this podcast,
I had the choice to tell you that I don't care.
No, I've just realized.
Wow, the amount of fucking things I've suffered through.
Yeah, but I just kept telling in jokes.
Me and Paul from another podcast.
No, no, no, I was saying it wasn't about,
I could have said any friend.
It wasn't about an in joke from an old podcast.
I was like the syllable thing.
Is it cure or cure?
I think it's cure.
Yeah, there you go.
It's not a thing.
A syllable thing is just language.
It is two.
Isn't it fascinating, though?
Because you also think that vampire is two syllables.
Vampire.
But then you're like cure.
Cure.
Vampire.
Vampire.
You think it's three.
Vampire.
We've been over this.
And what was the answer?
We've gotten a lot of views.
Vampire.
Vampire. Oh, let's do another And what was the answer? We've gotten a lot of views. Vampire. Vampire.
Oh, let's do another one.
How many syllables does the cure have?
Oh, cure.
Cure.
But then one of us has to disagree.
This video won't go viral at all.
Shit, you're right.
All right, all right.
I'll say something racist.
Someone get out on the phone.
No, no, no.
Okay.
I love how we're resetting it.
The idiots are listening.
All right.
How many syllables in the word cure?
Wait, are we experimenting?
You're going to lie and say that you think it's one.
Correct.
This would be great because people on TikTok are going to just think this is the real.
We'll act like it's mid-conversation.
Perfect.
Can you say cure in a sentence as one syllable?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm going to over-exaggerate this shit out of this.
So how many syllables am I doing?
One.
So you're saying cure.
Anyway, the good news is it's all been cleared and they found a cure.
So we're happy.
A what?
They found a cure.
Cure?
Yes, they found a cure.
She's healed.
It's cure, two syllables, isn't it?
No.
Cure, one syllable.
Cure.
No, it's cure.
No, I'm talking about if someone is sick and you find something to help them.
I understand, but you're saying it fucking wrong.
No, it's got one syllable.
Cure.
Cure is the cure.
Are you listening to yourself?
Yes, I've got headphones on.
I'm listening to myself.
Coombs, I think Curie's right.
Thank you.
And Jenna's a woman.
We have to listen to her.
Since when?
The cure.
You do yours.
Okay.
My favourite Lady Gaga song is the cure.
Cure.
That was two.
No, you're adding a pause.
No, I'm not.
It's cure. Manure. Demure. That was two. No, you're adding a pause. No, I'm not. It's Cure.
Manure. Demure.
See? Okay, what do you say?
Choir or Choir?
Choir. Choir. Oh, no.
Choir is two as well.
No, it's not. No, it's one.
There we go. We'll post that and see.
That was great acting. I even got a bit angry. Did you like it?
So did I. I was clapping in your face.
No, but then I got angry with myself because I'm like, I'm so stupid.
Why did you fucking turn your back on me like that, Jenna?
Can we do another test?
Because you were so right.
This is great.
Can we do more tests?
Can we just go really Republican, really Trump, like pro-Trump,
and just see if they go viral on TikTok?
Because they want to hate us because we're two boofs.
No, two of us have to be wrong and one of them right.
So it looks like we're stupid.
Don't have to act very hard for that.
Although I can't engage in any sort of political debates,
even if it's for a fake video.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah, all right.
Well, that'll actually be good.
That's half of the Republicans.
You know, I did a podcast interview recently
and it was the Friend Request podcast.
If you want to go find my episode, she asked me, do your audience
pressure you to share political thoughts?
I said, no, I don't think my audience expect that of me.
They don't turn to me for that.
And also, if I'm being honest, I just genuinely don't have
political thoughts.
Right.
What am I supposed to share?
I don't have one.
Your brain doesn't form them.
No, but I love how Sean.
Y'all slept on Julia Gillard.
There's one.
That's good.
That's very you.
But I love how Sean is in politics.
That's what makes it so good.
That's true.
I do know more about politics now than ever.
That's the yin and the yang of a good relationship.
By the way, speaking of Gaga, I was thinking before she announced that Bruno Mars duet,
I was like, maybe, before it came out, she announced that it was happening.
I was like, maybe that could be our fucking singing lesson song.
Oh.
Maybe.
Now that it's out, what do you think?
Die With A Smile.
Yes, that's it.
I like that.
Am I Bruno?
I don't know.
Yeah.
The thing is, they're both singing in the same octave.
It's not like one's doing a high note, one's doing a low note.
Yeah.
She's just butch and Bruno's femme.
What about, can you do Guess?
What's that?
Charlie XCX and Billie Eilish.
This is more my vibe.
You do the Billie verse, I do Charlie.
Of course you're Charlie.
Yeah.
Charlie uses a lot of auto-tune to her own admission,
so that might work out just fine.
We don't need letters.
Here we go.
Do you have the lyrics?
No.
Guess the colour of my underwear.
You gotta know what's right.
I've got British accent.
Yes, it is.
Is it pretty and pink or all see-through?
This is good, Jenna.
This is a good view.
Yeah, this is good.
Okay, two.
This is good.
I like this one.
Okay, you couldn't write this on sheet music, though. There's no notes she's
hitting. She's just kind of talking, which is fine.
But if we're trying to learn to sing, this isn't the one.
No, wait for Billie to come in.
You're Billie.
Oh, don't be foul, Charlie.
Post them, mix them, send them to the
day. Yeah, try it,
bite it. I've gone. That's Billie. Okay, go back.
Go back. This is you. She's also not've gone. That's Billie. Okay, go back. Go back.
This is you.
She's also not really singing.
That's why it's perfect.
Why would we go to a singing teacher and take this song?
And they're like, I don't know if I can help you.
True, it is.
Can you talk?
Great.
You've got this song down pat.
Anyway, what else is happening with everyone's lives?
I'm house-sitting currently.
I'm house-sitting in Bondi, Stephen and I.
You want a cute story?
I was going to ask, actually,
because I... You know how we're
Find My Friends official?
Yeah.
I wasn't looking for you.
Yeah.
Just to put your mind at ease,
I wasn't looking for you.
Yes.
But I did notice
when I was looking for someone else,
I was like,
what the fuck's Thierry doing in Bondi?
Oh, really?
And I was going to text you,
but then I was like,
oh, that'll freak him out.
He'll think,
why is he stalking me?
Oh, you were watching?
No, that's fine.
No, I just spotted you on the map. I was like, fuck, he's freak him out. He'll think, why is he stalking me? Oh, you were watching. No, that's a fine one. No, I just spotted you on the map.
I was like, fuck, he's close.
Yeah, Stephen's texting me right now.
What park do I take Delilah to?
Because we are dog sitting for Brittany Hockley.
She's off in Bali.
That dog is beautiful.
That dog is gorgeous.
Her name is Delilah.
And we're saying Brittany's apartment.

On the casting couch.
And we sat on that couch again.
Still on the couch, huh?
Yeah, just for old time's sake, huh?
Where does the fucking dog sleep?
On the floor in a bed.
In the same room?
No, in a separate room.

If I die, I want to come back as Brittany Hockley's dog.
Yeah, it gets walked twice a day.
I take it to the park and have to-
That's more than me.
Yeah.
I have to wear it out.
She's got beautiful eyes.
Yeah, the eyes have seen things.
That dog has lived many lives.
It's quite scary.
I feel the same way about Jenna's greyhound.
Yeah.
Tiger. Tiger, yeah. Yes, tiger. Beautiful animal. Leopard. Tiger's quite scary. I feel the same way about Jenna's greyhound. Yeah. Tiger.
Tiger, yeah.
Yes, tiger.
Beautiful animal.

Do you have a bird called cat?
Yeah.
And a lizard called frog?
Yeah.
Nice.
If you get a dog, what are you going to name it?
Cassowary.
Oh, we're at that point in the episode where our humour's broken.
I know.
It could go one way or the other.
Cassie.
Should we wrap it up?
Yeah, let's get out of here.
Sure.
Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Just 2%.
Sorry.
No, I always talk over you.
It's not like we do this every episode.
Sorry.
Okay, can you do that again?
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
Just 2%. So do we's all, just 2%
So do we
Sorry, I need a snack, I had to have a carrot
What the fuck, did you just pull an entire carrot out of your handbag?
It's not a handbag
It's like a pony
It's a purse, bub, I'm sorry
That's a purse
You think it's too feminine for me?
No, no, no
If it's a purse, just own it
I really like it
That's really lovely
But it's a purse, let's call a spade a sp. I really like it. Would you? That's really lovely.
But it's a purse.
Let's call a spade a spade here.
No.
Well, inside there is just a carrot in my car case and one boiled egg.
Oh, yuck.
With the shell still on.
In fact.
No, don't crack a fucking boiled egg in here.
I'm starving.
We're about to end.
Can we do this after?
Oh, I think I'm going to get a clean crack.
That is insane that you carry eggs with a shell in your purse and they don't shatter.
They do, I know.
Do they ever come out of the bag shattered already?
You're like, well, that's done half the job for me.
Sometimes.
They're so good for you.
Yeah.
High protein.
Yeah, but you don't have to carry them around.
Make them portable.
Just have them in the morning like a normal person. But now that I've got nails, it's so hard because my nails scoop up all the egg white.
Oh, dear.
