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.
Can you post videos to YouTube?
What sort of a question is that?
Can I send letters at the post office?
Now here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
How are you, Mitchell?
Oh, I'm a bit knackered, I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, you've got your work, you're on.
You've got a scrunchie on your wrist.
You've got a singlet on.
Your hair's all messy.
Has this become a thing I've noticed?
You commenting on my appearance every episode?
Oh, no, I don't mean to do it.
It's all complimentary.
Does this look like work here to you?
No, it just looks like I've had things to do.
I had a busy morning, but I've had to come and do my job,
and then I'll go back home and pull my hair up in a high pony and get it done.
I'm in the thick of moving at the moment.
By the time this episode's out, I'll be in my new penthouse,
if you don't hardly mind.
But right now, I'm having to pack, and it's all very last minute.
Sean and I got a place together.
Yay!
It was perfect, so we jumped at it.
But I'm like, oh, moving with a few days' notice is very stressful.
We don't have far to go at all.
I know, but that makes it harder because we haven't even hired a truck
because it's embarrassing to go such a short distance.
We have to do it ourselves.
So, wait, you're walking it from one house to another?
Pretty much.
But surely you can get, like, a digital trolley.
Digital trolley?
I don't know what I meant by that.
Clearly, I've never...
Whenever I move, I use Movable.
I don't move myself.
I don't even know how they do it.
So do I.
This is the first time I'm raw-togging it.
Oh, my goodness.
So you and Sean, is it causing, is it driving a wedge between the two of you?
No, not at all.
Well, do you have stuff together?
No, you don't, do you?
Not really.
He barely moved into my current place.
He didn't even unpack, really.
And so that makes it easy for him.
Well, that's what you said to me.
You said, I'm moving.
And I thought, no, you're not.
Sean's moving.
What am I to make it about you?
No, I'm moving now.
Yeah, because I was like, how are you?
You're exhausted from the move. I'm like, Sean's moving into, you're not. Sean's moving. My way to make it about you. No, I'm moving now. Yeah, because I was like, how are you?
You're exhausted from the move.
I'm like, Sean's moving into you, drama queen.
I know.
But you didn't tell us.
It happened so quickly.
So congratulations on the penthouse.
And so nice, Prize Keeper Jenna, for you to sublet it to Mitchell.
Obviously, Jenna is a land baron and a property legal.
So well done for you for just for giving out the rights.
Yeah.
And mate's rights.
God, she's good.
That's so nice, Jenna. Obviously, you're very negatively geared, uh you're doing quite well that means i'm in the market so i've obviously watched a youtube video now listen here we need to discuss something
actually you and i me yeah yeah speaking of keeping things from each other you didn't tell
me that you were going on the fucking project i didn't tell anyone didn't even have time to tell
my mum that took us by surprise yeah yeah i was on the fucking project. Oh, yeah. I didn't tell anyone. Didn't even have time to tell my mum. That took us by surprise.
Yeah, yeah.
I was on the project.
For the international listeners, the project is the nightly news done different in Australia.
It's like a panel show and they do the news.
I've been on before.
Were you at the desk?
No, I wasn't at the desk.
That's interesting.
No, I wasn't at the desk because it was out of Melbourne.
It was a Rove show.
So I had to go to the Sydney 10 offices and do a cross.
It all happened very quickly, by the way.
So for our idiots that haven't seen the clip,
they were talking about an earthquake in Musselbrook.
Yeah, which is in regional New South Wales.
Yeah, and for context, in accordance with Sydney,
they were calling it a Sydney earthquake.
It's very far north.
It would be like a two-hour drive north.
I think almost three-hour drive.
Yeah, it would be.
And they were like, let's cross to someone who couldn't be further south of Sydney
to talk about an earthquake that could not in any way, shape or form drive. Yeah, it would be. And they were like, let's cross to someone who couldn't be further south of Sydney to
talk about an earthquake that could not
in any way, shape or form have affected them.
Yeah, well, if you watch it. And I was thinking,
what the fuck? Yeah, the project
is, it can toy with very
serious news, but then also they lean heavily
into comedy. And that's the call that I got. They said they want
a comedian that can make jokes about the Sydney earthquake
because it wasn't felt in Sydney.
It was, I mean, barely.
And then when I started, because I did watch it live.
Yeah.
I'll play it for our idiots that missed it.
Oh, I hate listening back.
We'll take your headphones off.
But no, at first I was like, why the fuck are they crossing to him?
But then I'm like, I see what they're doing now.
It's all just a piss take.
And you had to do what you do best, which is lie through your teeth.
It was a bit.
It was a bit.
Okay, play me on the project.
All right, this is just a bit of us.
Where were you when it hit?
Guys, you know, I've just become okay with talking about it.
This is the first time I've vocalised how I feel,
but I was about to eat lunch.
Pause.
Shock horror.
I had a bagel in my hand, homemade turkey bagel,
about to put that thing in my mouth, and then the earthquake struck. This is all bullshit. By the time I was done with a bagel in my hand, homemade turkey bagel, about to put that thing in my mouth,
and then the earthquake struck.
By the time I was done with the bagel,
the earthquake was over. I barely felt
the thing. I've got friends in LA, and whenever
there's an earthquake overseas, did anyone
feel that? Did anyone feel that? And everyone's
like, well, did you feel what?
Was there an earthquake? Mitch, just for the record,
we've all got friends in LA, so.
Sorry. Yeah, Susie Yusuf there've all got friends in LA, so. Sorry.
Yeah, Susie Youssef there.
Putting you back in your box. I loved that.
I got so many messages
mostly from our idiots going, how rude.
Susie Youssef laughing at you on national
telly. How dare she?
But it very much had the same energy as, I'm in and out of LA.
You just mentioned randomly that I have friends in LA.
No, because whenever there is an earthquake
in LA, the people of LA and my friends that
I have over there post, did anyone feel that?
Oh my God, we just had an earthquake.
So that's the only comparison.
Yeah, but who are these friends?
I've never heard of them.
There's Jemima, there's Paul, there's Jesus.
You know, if you go back and watch that footage or if you go to my Instagram, you can see
it on my reels.
I, and no one knows this, I was having a severe allergic reaction to Brit's dog, Delilah.
So I was house-sitting for my friend, Brittany Harkless.
Wait, have you been allergic to dogs this whole time?
No idea.
Apparently so.
What?
But you have a dog.
Well, the thing is, we don't know.
It was either the dog or the sea moss gel.
Because I have never been that bad in my life.
Look at my face.
Oh my God.
I'll post this to the idiots.
But I was.
Wait, what was happening on TV?
Wow.
Throat closing up.
Yes.
So this was about midday.
And then I got a call saying, we need you in the project in two hours.
Can you get to the Sydney studios?
And I was like, yeah, I'll just get some antihistamines.
Didn't tell them.
But it got progressively worse.
So my throat was itching.
I had hives all over my entire body.
I mean, for what it's worth, you couldn't tell at all.
No, I know.
Well, they covered my face in makeup.
But if you look, my eyes look, my right eye especially looks extra puffy,
and that's because I was having a histamine attack.
Holy shit.
I know.
I mean, it can't have been the dog.
It must be the sea moss jelly.
Are you still eating that crap?
No, I've stopped eating it.
I've stopped eating it.
But Jenna took her Merville.
I have a confession. I started enjoying it. Do you just eat it raw, I've stopped eating it. I've stopped eating it. But Jenna took her Merville. I have a confession.
I've started enjoying it.
Do you just eat it raw or do you put it in a smoothie or something?
No, I eat it out of the jar.
You are glowing.
That's disgusting.
Can you help me fill your nails?
Let me bend one back.
Oh, that's like titanium.
She is an iron woman.
Yeah.
A bionic pussy.
Sorry, that was disrespectful.
Anyway, so yeah, project debut.
Well done.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
But I will say in my DMs, I do want to say to the Musclebrook community,
I am sorry for making light of something that did frighten you.
There's this woman in my DMs that is now on day six.
Day six of waiting for Mitch Turi to apologise to the Musclebrook community
after making fun and light of what was a very traumatic event for many people.
They lost a bakery.
But I thought based on that coverage, it actually wasn't that much of a severe earthquake.
Like, they were showing footage of a couple of paint tins falling off the shelf at Mitre
10.
Yeah, I wasn't there.
I can't speak to it.
But apparently it was quite scary, especially for young ones and kids.
And a lot of heritage buildings were destroyed because Musselbrook is an old town.
Well, as someone who was involved in the 2002 Vanuatu earthquake,
it was really offensive.
They should have called you up.
They should have crossed the agenda.
The way you told that story was impeccable.
Can I tell you that I also had a bit of a TV moment?
Oh, my God.
One of our idiots posted in the group saying,
oh, they're talking about Mitchell Coombs on the morning show.
And I was like, oh, I didn't know.
I wasn't actually on the show, but they were using one of my videos.
Was it Astro Tash?
No.
Oh, so kill him if you see him on the street.
I have not said anything disparaging about Natasha.
Correct.
I have.
Yeah, exactly.
She's after you.
No, they were talking about my video when I went to the McLeod's
daughter's homestead.
Yeah.
Because one of the cast members, Rachel Carpani, she played Jodie.
Yeah.
They had her on the morning show promoting her coming to Home and Away.
And they were saying, oh, can you believe that people still give a fuck about this show,
McLeod's Daughters, basically.
Right.
I agree.
They played one of my videos on the screen.
I've got more to say about this, but do you want to hear this bit first?
Yeah, sure.
I went and tracked it down.
Here we go. Can we go back to McLeod's Da do you want to hear this bit first? Yeah, sure. I went and tracked it down. Here we go.
Can we go back to McLeod's daughters for a minute?
That's where we know and love you from.
A TikToker went viral recently with this post.
It was Mitchell Coombs.
So on this side of Drover's Run, they used to have a tennis court,
but now they've got a bloody heated pool, if you don't hardly mind.
They used to have the Shearer's Quarters up here,
where bloody Becky and Kate and whatnot used to sleep.
Demolished, not there. And up
the back, they used to have the iconic windmill
and the outdoor bath. But nah,
go and ski.
Mitchell's very funny.
I adore him. Both you and Michaela
Bannis commented on the post. Mitchell
Coombs, he's utterly hilarious.
I actually was texting with him that night
saying, I can't breathe, I'm laughing so hard.
I loved it.
I mean, I watched the whole video and I didn't crack a laugh once.
So it's clearly target demo sort of thing.
What about 13-year-old me sent Rachel Carpani a collage that I made?
Did she reply?
She did.
Let's find out if she still has that.
So hold on, hold on.
You're texting Rachel Tortellini or whatever her dumb name is.
Rachel Carpaccio.
Rachel Carpaccio.
And hold on, you're messaging her.
Well, when I posted that video, it was like back in early July.
Like this was going back a while.
And she actually did DM me, but it was a voice message.
And she gave me her number.
And I was like, oh, my God, I'm fucking fangirling on behalf of 13 year old me yeah um I don't know if it's weird to play the voice message but
sure yeah she was a bit um let me find it she was like very gushy and it was um very flattering
obviously I'm so jealous must we hear it yeah no but I've got more to say about this. Oh, okay, sure. All right, hang on to this one. Oh, my God, Mitchell, you are just beyond hilarious.
I cannot stand it.
You're just my absolute favourite.
My God, we should sit down and have a chat at some point, I swear.
I think it would be hilarious.
You have a podcast, right?
I don't think I'm interesting enough for you, but I could try to
be. Anyway, my point being is I'm going to text you my phone number because I think we should be
in contact. I think we could have some fun chats together. I think you're hilarious. I think you're
fabulous. I'm so glad you got to go to the homestead. I saw stuff I have not seen. What
the fuck happened to my room? My sheerest quarters, Mitchell. What the fuck happened to my room my shearer's quarters mitchell what the fuck
happened to my room jodie's room i can tell you so many stories about that oh my god there were
mice everywhere just saying um well done lots of love rach oh i'm so jealous yeah i was just like
oh my god jodie just voice messaged me yeah Yeah, no offence. It means nothing to me. No, no, this is massive.
She also needs to let go, babe.
If in 20 years I'm still going, oh, is it just if I messaged idiots that loved this show 20 years ago?
I mean, that's a bit sad, I think.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I think she's just as surprised as anyone that people still love the show.
I just remembered just then I had a Rachel Carpavani fan site i made on myspace you made it
yeah i made it and it had 20 000 fans jesus yeah well the thing is she basically offered to come
on the podcast gave me her number and i was like fuck i'm gonna hold her to that that's where the
texting comes in yeah so i immediately after she gave me her number that night i was like hi it's
me blah blah blah um and i said right, let's make this happen.
And she goes, oh, are you guys in Melbourne?
I said, no, no, we're in Sydney, just like you.
She goes, oh, perfect, great.
And I said, right, well, let's sort out the details because it was late at night at this point.
She has not messaged me since.
Oh, no.
Wait, you messaged her?
Were you listening?
Yeah.
Can I have that piece of paper back?
You're just drawing and not listening to me.
No, I'm just messaging her. What is that face you drew? You're just drawing and not listening to me. No, I'm just messaging her.
What is that face you drew?
You're just messaging her.
No, no, no, no.
Listen, I'll break it to you quite lightly.
I don't care about this woman and I've never seen the show.
And I'm just, yes, if we want her on, maybe I'll have a sick day.
Please do.
That's not the point of my story.
She's amazing.
What's the point?
That night, she came in all guns blazing,
showering me with compliments over voice message.
We texted back and forth a bit saying, yeah, we'll get you on.
But ever since that day, crickets.
She's ghosted me every time I've actually tried to lock it in.
Right.
So I feel like she got swept up in the moment.
And then seeing my messages now being like, ugh.
That was a good idea at the time.
Or she saw that I'm on it and remembered the collage. The MySpace. That was a good idea at the time.
Or she saw that I'm on it and remembered the collage.
The MySpace.
That is possible.
Can you give me your phone?
I'll just call her now and book it. No, don't.
Why?
Don't.
Because I don't want to blow our chances.
I actually want to get her in here.
Frankly, she can fill in for you.
You can have the day off.
Can you?
Yes.
Jen and I will do a sit down interview.
Absolutely.
Wait, but I could just call her and say I work for the Mitchell Coombs Estate.
Can we book you into the podcast? No, don't.
Why? Because I don't want to fuck
our chances. She's not Michelle Obama.
No, but she's up there.
What's she doing at the moment? Well, this
is a thing. She's like going around doing the
press rounds promoting Home and Away.
She's been doing fucking Stella Mag, Morning
Show, all sorts of things. Can you get a photo,
Jenna, please? Yeah, yeah. Maybe I should text
her and say, hey, me
again, who's a PR person
that I can do logistics with?
Yes. Because maybe she's like me, where she
just thought it was a great idea, but then
when push came to shove, she's like, too much admin.
Yes, of course. I'll deal with the PR person.
Well, I think we should get her on, now seeing that she's that
beautiful. I think it'd be a great
guest that we could do a full takeover, a full
show with. Message her now.
Send her a voice note. No. Why?
Because she's busy.
I had to break it to you. I don't
think she is. No, she is. She's on home
and away. Well, you want to message her in your private time?
I'll message her when we're done here, but I'll
say, hey, who's the PR person?
Okay, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, and I'll let you know how we go.
Alright. Well, congratulations
on both of our TV appearances this week.
Thank you.
Jenna, I did see you.
I watched RBT and you were fantastic.
I really thought you'd blow under.
Can I tell you another message I got, which I'm still confused about to this day?
Yeah.
I got a message from Bridie Carter.
Oh, my God.
Who played Tess on MacLeod's Award.
Correct.
Amazing.
She's been on this show for your birthday bash two years ago.
Yes.
I don't think she remembers me.
Oh.
Because she messaged me and she sounded a bit like.
Drunk.
Not drunk.
Uh-oh.
God, where'd you get that?
I don't know.
The way you looked at me, I thought, uh-oh.
No, she sounded a bit like.
She was being a bit stern.
Oh.
She said to me, hi, Mitchell.
I just got a request from someone to share your Tess and Claire first meeting scene and
use it on Channel 7.
I don't own the footage.
You'd have to get permission from Posey.
Hope you're well, Bridie.
I was like, I don't know what to do with this message.
You have to ask Posey.
As if I have a direct line to Posey Graham Evans, the creator of McLeod's Daughters.
Who are these people?
I'm so confused.
The creator of McLeod's Daughters.
So this was recent.
This is actually my point. Bridie's is saying, ask Pose people? I'm so confused. The creator of McLeod's daughters. So this was recent. This is actually my point.
Bridie's just saying, ask Posey.
Ask her what?
Why did Channel 7 want to use McLeod?
And why are they asking you?
Channel 7, clearly this is the morning show appearance.
They used your video on TV.
But why are they asking a different cast member?
I don't understand.
Why are they going to Bridie Carter to get consent for Mitchell Coombs' video?
And who the fuck is Posey?
But I don't think she realises that I did a parody.
I don't think she's seen it.
Oh.
Because she says the Tess and Claire meeting footage,
you'll have to ask Posy.
I don't own it.
I was like, neither do I.
Does she think you work on Gen 7?
Oh, this is so confusing.
It was such a bizarre message.
I couldn't make sense of it.
I did.
I said, that's bizarre that they're asking you.
Feel free to send them my way and I can deal with what I need to.
And by the way, I'm sure the footage is fair game because it's for parody purposes.
That's my understanding.
So basically I've been fucking catfished by Rachel Carpani.
I've been cyberbullied by Bridie Carter.
Left on read.
Why am I a fan of this show?
You'll be asking that for years.
I found my fan site, but it's deleted all the photos.
Oh, no. Copyright. So there's nothing on there. No, but there's deleted all the photos. Oh, no.
Copyright.
So there's nothing on there.
No, but there's captions that I did.
Read some of the captions.
At her farewell party, leaving the clouds.
I can only imagine what that looks like.
I haven't seen that photo.
I would have loved to.
Rachel and her mum.
Maybe I shouldn't let Jenna do the sit-down interview.
It'll be a one-on-one with me and Rach, because Jenna's bordering on creepy here.
Rachel and Jessica Napier.
Becky.
Jenna, will you do a genuine question?
If I got her in here, would you cope?
Yeah, yeah.
Because she seems pretty chill.
I really want her to.
The fact that she just gave me her number like it was nothing.
That's amazing.
I mean, it is close to nothing.
You know, I think I could find the letter she wrote me.
Really?
That's cute.
Handwritten?
Yeah.
And she spelled a word wrong and scribbled it out.
Oh, she's, yeah.
You know.
No comment there.
It's in my autograph book.
Yeah.
Front page.
All right.
Well, if it's your first time listening, welcome to the show, everyone.
It's Is It Just Me?
Every show we start the same with an idjim, an is it just me?
Something we've noticed, Something we hate or appreciate
Mitch doesn't know mine
I don't know Mitch's
Mine this week is a little test
I need to test you two
Oh, it's not another spelling bee, is it?
No, you can't really
You can definitely get it wrong
But it's nothing personal
It's a sniff test
A sniff test?
Yeah
That sounds very personal
Yeah
Yeah, well, after your sweat on the armpits last week
I thought, well, let's put it to the test
Let's see whose sweat is more potent Do you want me to kick things off? Yeah, by all means your sweat on the armpits last week, I thought, well, let's put it to the test. Let's see whose sweat is more potent.
Do you want me to kick things off?
Yeah, by all means.
Sweet.
Bradley, let's go.
Is it just me or?
Can some things not be done on a mobile phone?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Yes, I think I know where you're going with this.
Yeah, definitely.
Where do you think I'm going?
Well, it's a trend.
It's all over the internet.
There's phone jobs and then there's laptop jobs,
jobs that you can only do on your laptop.
Oh, I haven't seen this trend.
I saw one fucking tweet about it.
Oh, no, this is everywhere.
Is it?
Yeah, there's laptop jobs and then there's phone jobs.
Yeah, I fucking agree.
Booking flights to go away on an international trip,
that's a laptop job.
Oh, so I think we're talking about the same tweet.
It was Kate Feldman.
She said, I assume maybe her husband.
Maybe, yeah.
Jarrett just booked international plane tickets on his phone
and I almost had a heart attack.
That's a laptop purchase, not a phone purchase.
I agree completely.
Sometimes I will be mid-task on my phone and then I go,
I'm just going to pause.
I've got to do this on the laptop.
I can't finish it here.
I'm the same.
There's certain things you just can't do on the phone.
It's too fiddly.
Yeah, the phone's getting better, though.
I used to even freak out buying anything online.
I bought those loop earplugs for concerts.
You know those earplugs so you don't damage it?
I get to add to that a lot.
Yeah, I finally bought them this week.
And I bought them on my phone, and it was so easy.
Used Apple Pay.
They were bought in 30 seconds.
But three years ago, I would have thought, if I'm buying something online with my credit
card, that has to be a sit-down laptop job.
It depends.
If I'm just grabbing one thing on Amazon, search, order, done.
Right.
But if I'm doing like an ASOS shop, God knows how long that could take me and I have multiple
tabs open.
Yeah.
That's a laptop job.
You know what makes it change?
It's the tabs of it all.
Yes.
Like I can't look at rental properties or apartments on my iPhone.
I hate the domain app because you've got to go one at a time.
But I can go through one domain page, same as YouTube,
open 100 million tabs and then spend the next hour filtering through them.
There's certain things that like try and boast about,
oh, it's so easy.
It can be done on your phone.
Like I use Xero for invoicing and they're like,
it's so easy you can do it on a phone app.
And I'm like, there's no fucking way I'm invoicing on a phone.
That's a laptop job for sure.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Definitely.
Booking my end of lease clean, laptop job.
Yep.
Phone job, 100%, ordering Uber Eats.
I've had to order Uber Eats.
That can be done on a laptop too.
I've done it and I didn't like it.
It was too cumbersome.
It just feels weird.
It doesn't feel right.
Cumbersome.
Yeah.
Can you Google what that means, Deanna?
Yes, of course.
Great outing for cumbersome.
If only I knew what it meant.
Thank you.
It means large or heavy and therefore difficult to carry or use.
Yeah, like it's too large.
The website is too much going on, too big.
Yeah, no such thing.
Awkward is a synonym.
Yes, yes, awkward, yeah.
Or clumsy.
It is awkward.
Clumsy, yeah, sure.
Cumberbunt, yeah.
What about watching TV shows?
You know how some people watch shows on their phone?
That fucking, I don't understand that.
Yeah, I was next to some guy in traffic yesterday
who was watching a full Stan original series on his phone in the cradle.
I thought, that man's watching The Archer.
What is going on?
We're driving a vehicle.
I can't watch shows on my iPod.
Even I go as far on my iPhone.
Yeah, good luck watching it on an iPod.
I love my iPad to travel with because I watch.
The screen's too small.
Oh, yeah.
At best, I might download something for the flight to watch on my phone,
but even then it just feels wrong.
Jenna, what other purchases for you are laptop only?
Oh, pretty much everything, to be honest.
Really?
Except for like food deliveries and stuff like that.
You know what you do, Cherry, that I don't fuck with?
Answering emails on your phone.
I don't answer emails anywhere else.
Yeah, that's weird to me.
Really?
I'll read them on the phone, but then I'm like,
I better pop to my desk and reply to this officially.
Because on the phone, it always fucks about.
Sometimes when you read an email that you've sent on your phone,
half of the sentences are in a purple font.
Yeah.
You've got that hideous little sent from my iPhone thing.
You can change that.
Yeah.
You don't.
No, I just added it back in.
Why?
Because I wanted people to know that I'm fucking busy
and it's sent from my iPhone.
Mine's maybe reindeer has ruined that for me.
Sent from my iPhone.
I'm like, oh, you're making a real point of being an iPhone user.
Mine says sent from Outlook.
Oh, no. My manager says sent on the run with a real point of being an iPhone user. Mine says sent from Outlook. Oh, no.
My manager says sent on the run with a running emoji.
Our old boss used to have that.
All hail the iPhone jobs.
I think anything you can do on an iPhone is superior at the end of the day.
Like what?
I love it.
Everything.
I just love being able to do everything on my iPhone.
Replying to emails, incredible.
Searching the internet, love doing it on my iPhone.
Shopping, I've got apps for everything.
You've actually backflipped on your opinion from the start.
No, my opinion is that there are definite jobs.
What am I like banking?
Banking, iPhone.
Yeah, sometimes.
No, I do banking on my phone.
Totally.
You don't need to do it on a laptop.
It depends because sometimes I have to have, again, with the tabs,
I have to have multiple tabs open being like, what's 30% of whatever?
Because I have to transfer to different accounts for tax.
It's confusing.
Too much for one tiny screen.
No, see, I just pay someone to do it all.
Look, I've got apps for everything that I use.
Pay someone to do what?
Tax and transferring and taking percentages.
I don't want to do that myself.
I'll make an error.
I have an accountant, but I have to put aside 30% of everything I earn
in a different account for tax.
Otherwise, I'll spend it.
Oh, no, I just put mine in one bank account.
Yeah, you've got a different arrangement to make.
Yeah, it's very set up.
You get a tax return.
I've got the Epstein set up.
I don't know what that means, but that's what my tax accountant says.
What about posting on Instagram?
Only iPhone.
I didn't even know you could do it from a computer.
Yeah, you can.
Yeah, if I can, I actually would prefer to do it on the laptop.
Really?
Because it's just so fiddly on Instagram.
Yeah, it is annoying.
Sometimes, you know how it does that thing where it uploads like 90% of it and then goes,
cannot be posted, cannot be posted.
You have to keep retrying it and blah, blah, blah.
Keep Instagram open.
And then eventually it posts like five of them.
Yeah, and then five different versions of the same video.
Sometimes I just use the Facebook like backend to schedule on Instagram as well.
And it works.
Yeah.
Editing videos on my phone, sometimes I'll get halfway through and go,
this has become a laptop job.
This is becoming too hard on the phone.
I agree with that.
But see, you –
I'll endeavour to try and do it on the phone and then go, no, too hard.
Yeah, but you work from home, and Jenna, your job is to edit things full time.
You have the setup.
You've got the mouse, and you can do all the keyboard shortcuts.
Most of us don't know how to do all that on a computer.
Like, I'm so used to doing it all natively in TikTok or in CapCut or whatever I use.
Yeah.
Or in Instagram, you know?
I don't know how you do it.
Yeah.
It makes it harder to do it the easy way on the phone.
Does it really?
Yes.
I find it easier just to fucking do it on the big screen.
What I mean is like a desk.
I don't even have a desk.
You do out there, don't you?
It's full of PR things and snacks.
Yeah, no, I agree.
I agree with you.
But I think at the end of the day, phone does trump all because I'm all for convenience.
I'm lazy at the end of the day.
I find it harder on the phone.
I'm lazy.
I think laptop wins.
Who listens to this show on their computer?
I'd love you to DM us if you're listening on the computer.
Yeah, maybe they've got the tab open at work.
That's true.
What tab?
Like they've got Spotify open or something at their desk while they work.
Some people say, oh my god, you made me laugh so hard
everyone in the office looked. Oh, they do say that, don't they?
Yeah. Almost crashed my car
with laughing. That's probably not on a laptop.
No, that would be on an iPhone, true.
What about this? Maybe we can agree on this.
Watching porn? That's a phone
job, surely. Well, 100%.
Yeah, obviously. Yeah, phone
in one hand and the other. Yeah, you do the math.
Yeah, you figure it out. Oh, Jenna's agreeing.
She's got two thumbs up.
Is it just me?
Enjoy the episode.
It hurts.
Hang on. Hang on. Before we
carry on with this sweeper, I should clarify
this is AI Bradley
voiced by Mitch Turi. Oh, wow. Play. It actually wasn't too bad. I was like, weeper. I should clarify. This is AI Bradley, voiced by Mitch Turi.
Oh, wow.
Play.
It actually wasn't too bad.
I was like, we could probably give that a run.
Sitting here listening, I thought it was just the normal one.
Yeah.
Go, go, go.
Carry on.
Enjoy the episode.
It hurts.
New merch available now.
Gobbleofmitches.com.au.
Oh, Jesus.
Nailed it.
It's not that bad.
Sounds like Brad's been hit in the head with a hammer
and he's still persevering with the VO.
You did make him sound a bit dofy.
I don't think that was me.
I think that was the AI.
Anyway, AI Bradley makes a good point.
Go merch shopping, coupleofmitches.com.au, thank you.
Yes, I ordered another shirt.
It arrived today.
Good job.
Yeah, I got Stephen a small I'm With Idiot white tee.
And it looks good on the white.
I haven't actually seen any in white.
The white is cute because the pink arrow is so bold.
And then you've got the black text.
It just looks really good.
And I went walking and wore my Airers to a shirt.
Oh, I looked gorgeous.
Thank you very much for the compliment.
I could see.
That's the first nice thing you've said about my design.
No, no, it looks good.
It itched me on the nipples, though.
Obviously, you've used an abrasive material, but mine isn't, of course.
Mine's wash soap.
Did you think I'm there hand-stitching the shirts myself?
I saw all these 12 to 18-year-old white girls looking at me.
I'm like, what is going on?
Do I look that hot?
No, they all thought I was wearing Taylor Swift merch.
They're like, geez, Taylor really porked it up during that era.
I'm like, no, that's actually me, girls. Like, when was Taylor brunette? I'm like, no, Taylor really porked it up during that era. I'm like, no,
that's actually me, girls.
Like, when was Taylor Brunette?
I'm like, no,
I understand your confusion.
That's a man.
Sorry.
So for those that don't realise,
we're doing a competition here.
We've got a merch design each.
Originally,
we were going to try and agree on one,
but then we couldn't.
So we were like, fuck it.
We'll put both on sale.
See who sells more.
Mine is the Taylor Swift
inspired one.
And yours is the
I'm With Idiot.
Correct.
I actually like your design, to be honest.
I like yours too.
That's the first time you've admitted that.
I know.
You've been so disparaging.
Because I've seen the sales and I feel sorry for you.
So I do like yours.
Because I was about to say, when are we going to decide,
like what's the cutoff mark?
When are we going to read the results?
Who sold more?
I think we do the cutoff July next year.
July next year?
I was thinking maybe end of the month, end of September.
No, because that's my birthday.
And if my present is finding out that I've lost this war, I'll be like Trump and I will
just incite violence on the Capitol.
Okay.
What about instead early October, our five-year anniversary?
That's perfect.
That's perfect.
Well, I don't actually remember the exact date,
but basically early October, get merch shopping, idiots.
I say support Team Coombs.
Okay.
I say support Team Cheery.
And then are we going to close that store?
That'll be the no more merch or shall we keep it open?
No, we have to keep it open.
We don't have to close the store.
I just thought that's when we'll call it and say,
here's who's in front.
And we'll tally up a percentage, will we?
Okay.
How exciting.
If you haven't yet bought a shirt, go and have a look.
They're gorgeous.
They're super high quality.
All the Mona Jenner?
Incredible.
Yeah, it's not in the competition.
It's like when you go to Macca's during their Monopoly and only the big Cokes and the Nuggets
have the tickets on them and the soft serves don't.
That's always pissed me off.
Yeah, but everyone likes the soft serves.
Yeah, but you're not involved in the competition.
Sorry.
I hate to break it to you, but Mitch and I spoke earlier.
Didn't we, Mitch?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, next week on the show, or in a couple of days, Jules Ragnarok.
Oh, don't.
Why is that?
Listen, we do have a guest joining us on Wednesday's episode, which is 2.32.
Yep.
Her name is Jules.
You might know her on TikTok as Recovering Party Girl.
And she's been documenting her sobriety journey,
but she does it in a way that I find really amusing
because she's very honest about it.
Yes.
She's not very preachy like some people who are like,
my life is a thousand times better now that I don't drink.
She's like, sometimes Saturdays are fucking boring now.
Yes.
What have I done?
Yeah.
And so she'll be in here to chat through that whole situation.
She's on TikTok if you want to check it out.
Yeah, Jules Rangaha.
Don't.
Listen.
What is it?
You know me.
What?
You know how important it is for me to get names right.
Yeah.
And so I said to her, I was chatting to her the other day when we were organising all
this.
Yeah.
I said, Julesy, I need you to tell me how to pronounce your last name properly because
I like to get this shit correct.
And she goes, oh, honestly, don't stress because my Maori family
roast me for getting my own last name wrong.
And I'm like, is that supposed to make me stress less?
Yeah.
I don't think you understand how much more stress that makes me.
I want to get it right.
Yes.
I don't want your Maori family mocking me for getting it wrong.
No.
I want them to go, fuck yeah, he nailed it.
Yes. Okay. I want them to go, fuck yeah, he nailed it. Yes.
Okay.
I'm with you. Because just that it's spelled R-A-N-G-I-H-E-U-E-U-A.
Which is Rangi Haiwaya.
Oh, beautiful.
Jules Rangi Haiwaya.
Actually, should I check her voice message?
Yeah, play it out.
I just want to know.
This is a show of voice messages.
It is.
It's me.
Can't wait to play my All Saints message from Mark Howard.
Jules Rangi Haiwaya. I got it. Rangi Haiwaya. R message from Mark Howard. Jules Rangihayuwaya.
I got it.
Rangihayuwaya.
Rangihayuwaya.
Nice.
Rangihayuwaya.
Great.
I promised to work on it and I will nail it, of course.
Jules Rangihayuwaya joins us on Wednesday.
Lovely.
She's an absolute hoot.
It'll be interesting, the whole sobriety thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because she's very open about it.
She was like, I was a fucking rat.
Yeah.
Full-blown addict and now look at her.
She's nearly been sober for two years.
The second sober influencer we've had on the show, we had
Tim Abbott. Oh, he stole my birthday.
He did steal your birthday and he stole
my body.
Because he's gorgeous.
Right.
And then I was sober for a brief period and then
relapsed.
Hey, if you were worried
about who she merged by, by mine. Because I had a real rags-to-riches story. I've crawled from the depths. Hey, if you were worried about who's merch to buy, buy mine.
Because I had a real rags to riches story.
I've crawled from the depths. Mitchell living in a
penthouse. Unrelatable.
But me? I struggle.
So buy my merch. Do you want to know what the difference is?
In what? In this penthouse.
I'm paying rent!
Yeah, got you there, didn't I?
Rags to riches, my fucking ass.
But I had to break my lease.
So do I.
Isn't that bullshit?
By choice.
My hand was forced.
Shall we do my agent?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Roll it, Bradley.
Is it just me or?
Do you think you could tell the difference between the smell of a Crayola crayon compared
to a generic no-name brand crayon?
I think so.
Oh, yeah, I reckon.
Here's the thing, yeah.
So, Crayola, who are like, you know.
Hardly know.
Yeah, they make crayons.
They make kids' stuff and drawing books and whatnot, have this week trademarked the smell
of their crayons.
Wow.
Do they create their own bespoke scent?
Well, that's what I know.
They don't set out to create a scent, but clearly the smell of Crayola crayons to them is so iconic.
They've trademarked it.
The United States Trademark Office has approved it.
And the CEO of Crayola said, we want to bottle it up and sell it maybe as a fragrance in
our Crayola stores.
We want to pump it through the air.
Imagine a Crayola scented candle.
That'd be delicious.
I don't think so.
I don't think that is possible.
Oh, surely it is.
I think it's possible.
It's stinky.
It's just not plastic.
No, it's possible, but I don't know if it'd smell good.
They've got fucking KFC chicken nugget scented candles, and they're pretty bang on, actually.
True.
Alan's Lollies do a collaboration with Dusk.
It's not paid.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But their Red Frog and their Chico candle is
so yummy. Yeah, I've had a
Bubba Lo Bill scented candle. Very strawberry
heavy. I had a Gay Time scented candle
which in my house was just a vanilla one.
You know what's actually one of my favourite candles I've ever
owned was the Splice scented
candle. Oh yes. Like lime.
Oh that's beautiful. Alright, so what I've done is
I've used the Kidio to purchase
genuine Crayola crayons.
Did you keep the docket?
Expensive.
Yeah, I'll find it.
And I've got none name brand generic.
It's like we're at a chemist.
Generic crayons.
I will ask you both to close your eyes.
Yeah.
And I will bring them underneath your nose.
So I'm getting them.
Is it just me on the fly?
Yeah.
Can you definitely tell the difference between the smell of store-bought Play-Doh with the
yellow bloody tub or that bullshit Play-Doh they make you make in preschool?
Oh, 100%.
Yes, I'm with you.
It just smells like flour and disappointment.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to give you crayon number one.
Eyes closed.
I'm bringing it over.
I was going to say, where do I reach it?
No, you can't put it in your hand because you'll know the difference.
Oh.
Jenna? Okay. Put it in through your nose. Okay. reach it? No, you can't put it in your hand because you'll know the difference. Oh. Jenna?
Okay.
Breathe in through your nose.
Okay.
And Mitchell?
Is this the same one that she'd smell?
Yeah, correct.
So we'll call it crayon number one, sure.
Breathe in.
I can just smell whatever fragrance you're wearing.
Oh, shit.
Sorry.
This one's busted.
I can't smell anything.
That's not Crayola.
All right.
Now, Mitchell, what about crayon number two?
Breathe in.
Jenna, breathe in.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the Crayola River I knew.
That's Crayola.
Okay, lock your answers in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Crayola was crayon number two.
You're right.
Yeah.
Bang.
Isn't that crazy?
It's got a smell.
It must be the paper because the other ones that you've got,
they're like the ones where you twist the end.
No.
Like an extendable pen.
Yes, they are.
Yeah, these ones don't have a smell.
Nothing to them.
I literally couldn't smell a thing.
Smell that Crayola Mitchell.
It actually, because when I read this, I thought this is nothing.
And I thought, what if we did a smell test?
I was blown away at how Crayola-like the Crayola smell.
It's iconic.
Jenna, smell that box.
Okay.
And the crayons too.
Maybe we should do another sniff test on the podcast.
Oh, what?
Choose something that's harder.
That's Crayola.
Because clearly Crayola is just so distinct.
It was a very easy game.
I know.
I thought it would be harder to ask.
Yeah, that was very easy.
I thought the generic ones would have more of a smell.
Yeah.
Also, drawing with crayons.
God, it's fun.
I know.
You guys should do it more often.
It's really quite enjoyable.
But also, do you reckon the same applies for Crayola-branded chalk?
Or just a generic chalk?
Chalk is chalk.
And what Crayola-
How do you know until you sniff it on the broadcast?
True, but Crayola also is not paying for any of us.
Huh?
It's not paying.
We're giving them a lot of free promo, aren't we, Crayola?
I don't recall receiving a cent from Ninja Creamy.
That's a good point.
And we dragged that out.
They actually did reach out to me after that.
Did they?
Yeah, and I said, I've already got one.
Yeah, right.
You know, there's one color, Dandelion, I think it's called, that's a yellow from the 1980s.
And they discontinued it and changed it to this yellow in the 90s.
And if you have that original yellow crayon, it's worth like $30,000.
How does it differ?
It's just a different shade.
Isn't that crazy?
Wow.
Well, there you go.
The first annual Ijum sniff test is complete.
Does it have to be annual?
We could just do another one in an episode very soon.
Yeah, sure.
Do you reckon you could smell my shoe apart from Jenna's?
I'm not.
Should we do it right now?
No.
I've never seen you look that angry. You put the sea moss in my fucking gob, and I'm not. Should we do it right now? No. I've never seen you look that angry.
You put the sea moss in my fucking gob and I'm not sniffing your shoes.
I'm sorry.
You consent to that, idiot.
I don't put my foot down often.
But it's happening today.
That's enough of these two.
Now let's hear, and is it just you?
All right, let's move on.
It's now time to hear from one of you, one of our beloved idiots. We do adore you,
honest to God. And there's been a lot of communication
from the idiots in the Injuring Idiot Facebook
group, which you're not a part of. You have to rush and
join now. I see you've been checking now, have you?
Yeah, well, because we're down in admin, because we had the resignation
of Callum after that sex scandal,
we had to, we
have to approve some of the posts myself.
We get flooded with posts. We're like the Daily
Puffin or whatever that Harry Potter magazine is.
The Daily Puffin.
What is it?
Hagrid and Harold or something?
I'm not sure what it's called.
I can't say I'm sure of anything you're saying.
Are you a Harry Potter nerd?
No!
Really?
Sorry, I don't know why I was so offended by that accusation.
But no, when have I ever said that?
You just look like one of those people that would have one of those triangle necklaces,
but you hide it.
I don't even know what the triangle necklace is.
Oh, good.
Jenna does.
Oh, the time turner.
Is it the time turner?
Is that what you mean?
No, it's the Horcrux.
Oh, I love how she stuttered.
She knew straight away.
Jenna, it's the I think Horcrux.
Get it wrong so people don't know that you're actually Team JK, which we can discuss off
the air.
No way.
Who have we got on the phone today?
He's in Sydney today.
Let's welcome to the show Dan.
G'day.
Let's get him on the line.
Hello, hello, hello.
Daniel.
Hi, Dan.
It's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Hi.
How you doing? We are. You're good. Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Hi, how you doing?
We are good.
So good.
How are you?
What are you doing?
Where are you?
I'm good.
I'm at home just working hard on my laptop.
It's a laptop job, isn't it?
We were talking about that on the show today, laptop job versus phone jobs,
like things like international holidays you can only book on a laptop.
You'd never book that on a phone.
Absolutely not.
You'd be crazy to.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Daniel, how long have you been listening to the show?
For a while now.
A couple of years, I reckon.
Years.
Feels like it.
You need to buy some merch.
Can I take those crayons off you, too?
It's so distracted, not engaged.
It's doodling on this bit of paper.
I'm doodling.
I just asked David a question.
Oh, for fuck's sake. Sorry, Daniel.
Daniel. And I...
You can ask another question. I'm just drawing. Danny,
are you ready to go with your Is It Just Me? Bradley, we'll count
you in. I'm ready to go.
Alright, let's go. Let's do it.
Is it just me
or
Have you been solicited for sex on the job?
Oh, my God.
We're working with Jenna.
I mean, the answer is yes.
What happens off the cloud stays off the cloud, do you?
Of course.
You're very close co-workers, the three of us.
No.
What happened?
Tell us.
Yeah, what?
I had the most unhinged lady I've probably ever had on a tour
when I was a zipline tour guide in New Zealand.
Oh, that sounds fun.
It was really fun.
It was really cute, like great views.
You're telling people about sustainability like the whole time you're on course with them.
But this lady, she didn't want to know anything about sustainability.
So when she started, she was like running down the hill out of breath.
It sounded kind of like she was crying to come like to check in.
Just being like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry she was crying to come, like, to check in. Oh.
Just being like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And we were like, fine, it's fine.
The tour hasn't even started yet.
As we're going off one of the zip lines,
it's like the third zip line which has the best view on the whole course.
She's, like, touching my cheeks and telling me how soft they are.
And I was like, okay.
That's very odd behavior.
It was very strange. And I tried to get her off me and be like,
oh, look at the view, listen to the talk that we're having on this platform.
Was she drunk or something?
Yeah.
I think she might have been, or high.
She smelled of a lot of different things.
What time of day was this?
It was on a Wednesday.
Oh, wow.
Solicited on a Wednesday.
But she turns to me after, again,
saying that she doesn't speak very good English
and that's why she couldn't listen to the chat.
Got it.
She looked at me and she just goes, are you a one or a zero?
What?
And I was taken aback because I was like, I have no idea what that means.
A one?
On the Richter scale?
Yeah.
Definitely a one that day.
Yeah.
And then I was like, I don't understand.
Can you explain? And she was like, I don't understand. Can you explain?
And she was like, um, and she like looked off into the distance,
had a big think, and then looked back at me and was like,
do you like to fuck or be fucked?
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I was like, all right,
your English is a little bit better than you were letting on.
Was she asking for a friend or was she keen for a slice of Dan?
Yeah.
She was like, I have many friends in Shanghai who would love to know you.
At the end of the tour when we're saying goodbye, instead of giving me a tip, she wanted to
give me her friend's tips.
No way.
Oh, so she wasn't after you?
No, she wasn't.
But she was hunting for some mates.
Wow.
Dan, are you into women at all? No, not at all. Maybe she was trying for some mates. Wow. Dan, are you into women at all?
No, not at all.
Maybe she was trying to traffic you.
Well, that's what I was actually going to think.
Maybe she was trafficking.
Because it's an odd proposition.
Oh, I've got a guy that would love you.
The catch is you have to fly overseas to meet him.
You're like, I'm good.
I mean, was he a billionaire?
I mean, I don't know.
Did she give you any details on the guy or the men?
No details.
It was just, here's my number. If you want it, if you come to Shanghai, give don't know. Did she give you any details on the guy or the men? No details. It was just, here's my number.
If you want it, if you come to Shanghai, give me a call.
And already after the impressions, I was like, she also peed on course.
It was a lot.
See, my brain was thinking.
Like, I don't know if I trust your friends.
Yeah, kind of beautiful.
But no, the more I hear about this woman, how mysterious.
I want to see a photo of Dan.
Danny's gorgeous.
You are beautiful.
So I can see it happening.
What?
Him being trafficked?
I'd traffic you too, Dan.
Fucking got a compliment, isn't it?
Thank you.
That's the highest compliment.
Oh, my God.
What?
Think of that.
It frightened me completely.
I wouldn't know what to do.
I didn't either.
I was like, no money?
Oh, okay.
Well.
Yeah.
So did you report it to, you know, HR,
if you have a HR department in the mountains, or your boss?
I didn't know how to.
I was like, well, look, it happened.
I felt like there's nothing you can really do with that.
Like, you can't really be like, I'll never let them back on tour again
because they're probably not going to come back.
And she didn't, like, hammer the point.
She left you alone after.
You were like, no thanks.
Yeah, she just, like, skipped off into the distance,
literally skipped like that.
Wow.
I love her.
She sounds like such a fruit loop.
So now let's go back to the point.
Is a zero a receiver or is a one a receiver?
I don't think she ever clarified.
Well, yeah, so a zero is a zero.
I feel like zero must be receiver, right?
Zero has to be receiver, purely visually.
And then the one, visually again, must be the giver.
No, you're onto something, actually.
If she had the knowledge of, like, fuck or be fucked,
why would you start with zeros or ones?
Totally.
I'll never look at the Channel 10 logo the same.
No.
Dan, thank you for getting in touch.
We'll give you a totally tote bag. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks, thank you for getting in touch. We'll give you a totally tote bag.

hit us up.
We'll get you on the show.
You actually got it right.
I actually threw to you as a test.
I was like, what tangent could he go on?
No, this is my brain.
He did very well.
Thank you.
I was like, carry a pigeon.
I was expecting some absurd answer.
No, we're wrapping the show, so I'm going to keep things.
Yes, all right.
We better get out of here.
The Harry Potter one is the Daily Prophet.
Daily Prophet.
I swear to God I said that.
You said the Daily Poppet.
Did I tell you my update?
Remember last time I went to the Hagrid's Escape Ride?
Oh, you couldn't fit.
I couldn't fit.
Yeah.
And then I was fat shamed and told to leave.
One too many butterbeer strappler.
That's what they said to me.
Oh, hippogriff, isn't that magical to carry you, Porky?
Yeah, what's the update?
I went back this year and I rode.
Yay!
Congratulations.
You're a zero.
I'm a zero, yeah.
All right, well, we'll see you all in a couple of days. Yeah, we'll catch you Congratulations. You're a zero. I'm a zero, yeah. All right.

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 and then we just kick back and relax for a bit.
Oh, I've had two coffees.
That's my problem.
Is that unusual? Oh, yeah. I only ever have one. Oh, I've had two coffees. That's my problem. Is that unusual?
Oh, yeah.
I only ever have one.
Oh, okay.
I only ever have one.
And now I've had two, which is four shots.
Jenna, you know how you don't drink coffee?
Yeah.
Have you ever tried it?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I wouldn't have mind.
I had a pitch, but forget it.
What, to kiss me and see if she could taste it?
No.
I was going to be like, should we get Jenna to taste test a mocha?
Because imagine someone who's never had the taste of coffee in their mouth.
Mocha drinkers, pussies.
Sorry.
But that's like a gateway if you've only ever drunk hot chocolate.
True, true, true.
No, I've tried it and I spat it out.
Can I tell you-
Was it a mocha?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Even the mocha- fuck, you couldn't handle that.
No.
Why didn't you record it for the podcast?
It was yucky.
You should have recorded it, Jenna.
Then that coffee could have been a tax write-off.
Oh, damn it.
Damn it. You could have, Jenna. Yeah. Had a really bad coffee. It was yucky. You should have recorded it, Jenna. Then that coffee could have been a tax write-off. Damn it. Damn it.
You could have, Jenna.
Yeah.
Had a really bad coffee.
There is a difference, Mitch and I are coffee drinkers.
Oh, my God.
Massive difference, right?
Yeah.
Between a good barista-made coffee and a really shit barista-made coffee.
They're different products.
When the milk is steamed correctly with microfoam, it's right.
But when you've got a shit barista, that coffee, it tastes like sewage water.
Yeah, and there aren't any particularly good coffees. You've just got a coffee or a bad
one.
That's right.
Yeah.
What are you? Oh, no, I know, I know. Don't say it. Don't say it. Almond flat white.
Bang on.
Yeah. Do you know mine?
Do you know what? Is it just me on the fly?
He doesn't know mine!
Oh, no. Do I know yours? No, I don't think I've ever had to order for you.
An almond latte.
No, that's a C. I've got it in front for you. An almond latte. No, that's a C.
I've got it in front of me.
An almond cap.
I was just about to say, is it just me on the fly?
Do cappuccinos kind of fuck?
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Because someone got my order wrong the other day,
and they brought around an almond cappuccino,
and I was like, I can't be bothered complaining.
I'll just deal with it.
And then I was like, that choccy kind of slaps.
Hey, that's quite nice.
Well, I was an almond latte and an almond flat white drinker for so long.
And then Laura Byrne, my radio co-host, finished her coffee when we were doing the show and
pulled the lid off and licked the rim.
And I thought, now that I can get around.
And it was full of creamy brown chocolate.
Sorry.
And I thought, fuck, I want that.
So I tried an almond cap and I have not looked back.
Interesting. Maybe I should try it, I want that. So I tried Naaman Cap and I have not looked back. Interesting.
Maybe I should try it when I'm ordering a coffee next.
Because my theory used to be, this goes back to when I was like a Pavo uni student.
I'm like, I'm not paying for air.
If you get a latte or a cappuccino, there's bubbles on top.
Yeah.
Flat whites are literally flat.
So more coffee.
You always asked for no foam.
Yeah.
And you shouldn't have to clarify.
It's literally meant to be no foam on a flat wire.
Yeah.
It's just like a little bit, right?
Like a millimeter.
If that.
Tiny foam.
It's meant to be flat.
Would you ever do a, I had a period where I did a long black with a dash of milk.
No, that reminds me of instant.
Yuck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right.
But it's nice because you get a little bit of milk and they don't even froth it.
They just pour it straight in.
Exactly.
It's an instant.
It is instant.
And they still charge you six bucks or something ridiculous.
Is it just me on the fly or did anyone else's mum?
Two things for Michelle Turi.
Love it a bit.
A, get so busy during her morning commute that she would have to re-microwave her coffee
halfway through the morning.
She'd get up at seven and then make it, then drink it for an hour or two and be like, it's
cold midway through blow drying her hair.
So she'd get me as a kid to pop it in the microwave for 35 seconds
and then she'd finish drinking it.
I'm like, just make another one.
I don't think I've ever had a coffee last long enough to have to microwave it.
Yeah.
I slam them bitches.
I pump them, especially as an adult.
And then secondly, Michelle Turi will dip her Vegemite toast
in any toast she makes into her instant coffee then drink it.
What?
Michelle. She loves it. Yuck. No then drink it. No, what? Michelle.
She loves it.
Yuck.
No.
Vegemite and coffee?
Yeah.
And bread.
Yeah.
Well, the show I work on, they have a-
What is it?
It's just a show.
Who are they?
For context, Jenna, come on.
Don't be a fool.
It's just two radio hosts that talk in the morning.
No, in the morning.
There's three of them.
Yeah, I really fucked up there, didn't I?
They have a segment where they try different weird recipes.
Oh.
And this morning they tried Vegemite coffee.
Oh, don't.
Really?
Yeah.
What do you do?
You make an instant coffee, then add a teaspoon of Vegemite?
Yeah.
With like foam and all that.
Yeah, to just be salty.
No.
Who wants a salty coffee?
Totally.
You add toast to it.
You dip it in. Yeah, Michelle Turing lives by it. Loves it. I've tried. And then you add toast to it. You dip it in.
Yeah, Michelle Turing lives by it.
Loves it.
I've tried it and it's sweet and salty, especially if you've got sugars in your coffee.
I don't like sweet and salty.
Even salted caramel.
I'm like, why would you fuck up a gorgeous caramel flavor with a bit of salt?
Oh, salted caramel isn't that.
I had hot star fried chicken for the first time.
I was at the Hamilton premiere and that was the only thing I could really get before the show.
And it's a big piece of fried chicken, like a schnitzel, but it's covered in sweet seasoning.
Oh, I don't know.
Like plum powder.
And it was such a crazy mindfuck.
It was delicious, but it was salty chicken with sweet seasoning.
It was weird.
I don't like that.
No.
No.
Now, is that intern gone?
Hey?
There's an intern here at the building and I'm terrified of her.
Why?
There's an intern.
Is that her?
She's lovely.
Yeah, she's lovely.
I bumped into her at the front.
You bumped into her?
Yeah.
What did she say about you?
She said to me, you're just as beautiful as the photos.
I was like, thank fuck I was having a good hair day.
Are you being serious?
Imagine if I came in looking all busted and she's like, you look nothing like the photos.
Is that actually what she said to you?
Yeah. You know what she said to you? Yeah.
You know what she said to me?
What?
And who are you?
And I said, I'm Mitch.
And what do you do?
I said, I host two radio shows.
She goes, well, which ones?
I've not heard of them.
I said, wow.
Anyway, then I ran into the radio show.
She must have listened to a bit, came out and went, you know what?
Just looking and talking to you, I thought you were vanilla.
But you're actually pretty funny.
See ya.
Wow. She's great. She's you're actually pretty funny. See ya. Wow.
She's great.
She's a great judge of character.
I know.
She told me, you're just as beautiful as I thought you'd be.
Clearly a judgmental.
You know, downstairs she's like, you know, I can do a handstand.
And I'm like, well, sure, do it.
And she did it.
And she can do a really good handstand.
How long did she hold it for?
For like 10 seconds.
Fuck.
That's impressive.
I've got a lot of power in this business.
I'm going to ensure she never works a day in this industry.
Actually, she works for the company currently in Townsville.
Ah, suck shit.
She goes to me, guess how many kids I've got.
It's six.
Well, you didn't even give me any time.
I would not have guessed that.
Six kids.
She's amazing.
And she's going to listen to this podcast from now on.
She told me that too.
You know what?
She's so sweet.
And I believe children are the future.
Does she actually have six kids?
Yes.
Did you make that up?
No, she does.
Six kids.
Wow.
The eldest is 14.
She goes to be where do you live?
I live on a castle on a hill.
I'm like, all right, Princess Fiona.
Not an ogre version, of course.
Well, you've just screwed over a new potential fan.
Yeah.
Calling her an ogre.
I've got plenty.
Speaking of fans, we had fans.
We need to talk about our show.
We had fans at one point.
I don't know what happened.
We have an ex-staff member of ours that has progressed,
and I'd like to do a shout-out to remember our intern, Alex,
who competed for a producing job on this show.
Oh, yeah, she was trying to oust Jenna in a way.
Yeah, she lost.
I was better.
She now works for The Morning Show on Channel 7 as the head of entertainment,
and that is just an Ijum Rags to Riches story.
Was it her that reached out to
Bridie Carter? Oh my god, probably!
Why didn't she just DM me?
Probably. That makes so much sense as to why they
played your video. And it also makes sense why
she didn't get a role on this show.
It's Alex. God love her.
I mean, our staff on this show
have gone on to such big things.
Name one other than Alex.
Alex Ryan, obviously working at Channel 7.
Hilarious, by the way, because that's in McLeod's character.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, really?
Alex Ryan?
Oh, that's funny.
We've had, let me think.
Sarah Harris was an intern for us on the project.
No, we're all the Jacobs. remember she printed our stuff for us?
Peter Overton worked in the mailroom.
Yeah.
What if our intern became really famous?
I'd be pissed off.
No, good for them.
I want her too.
Who is our intern?
Our intern.
We don't have one.
Yeah, the intern you were talking about.
The one that you just besmirched.
Oh, I didn't besmirch her.
Show me pictures of this house on the hill.
I call bullshit.
You're just jealous.
It's in Townsville.
I, too, have $3.50.
We hope this podcast made someone feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
So we do.
So we do.
So we do.
Thanks for listening, idiots.
I'm wrapping this up.
The sniff test is back soon.
I'll be cutting off a lock of Jenna's pubes and then a lock of my pubes.
And Mitch, you will have to guess whose pube is who. And visually, you'll be cutting off a lock of Jenna's pubes and then a lock of my pubes and Mitch will
have to guess whose pube is who.
And visually you'll be able to tell.
Jenna has a real European kink in there.
If I quit this show very soon, you shouldn't be surprised.
Why?
Because in the space of less than an hour, you've asked me to sniff your shoes and your
pubes.
You made me look at your sweaty pits last week.
Unconsensual.
No, you said, is it bad that I kind of want to see it?
Well, because you brought it up.
You're Army Hammer.
Oh.
I can't deal with this today.
I've got packing to do.
Can we get rid of him and bring in the intern?
Watch the ratings.
Explain.
No, I didn't think of it.
You watch.
No, we'll watch.
From a castle on the hill.
Bet it's full of termites.
All right, let's go's go Alright, see you guys
Thanks for listening idiots
Bye bye
