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. You've really pissed me off. I'm not speaking now. That actually really suits me. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you! Hello you! Welcome back. Oh, it's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you.

Hello, you. Welcome back. Oh, it's good to be back. I bet it is because it's your birthday. Oh, my God, it is. Happy birthday. Oh, I'm going to have to act that I didn't know that this was time for the same day as my birthday. Did you see it coming?

No, I didn't. No, I did not see it coming, no. I forgot. Oh, thank God you forgot because I spent a lot of energy being subtle, bringing gifts and whatnot in. Are you ready? What do you have? What do you mean?

Hang on. Hold on. Well, Prize Keeper Jen is here, and you haven't said happy birthday yet. Happy birthday to you. I'll get it. Sounds like it. And I'll get mine too. Oh, my God.

I was going to let you sing while I get it. Wow. We should have planned this way better. Fill the room down. Happy birthday to you. Actually, Mitch, I'd rather. Hip, hip. I get it. Wow. We should have planned this way better. Happy birthday to you. Actually, Mitch, I'd rather. Hip, hip. Wrap it up.

Thank you. Now, Jenna, what do I always say about birthdays? You can't have a birthday without a cake. I do always say that. Oh, he does. Famously. Famously. He's famous.

Here we go. Ready? Oh, he's going under the desk. Oh, it's got my head on it. It's your face. It does have your face on it. Yay. Here's your knife.

Thank you. Oh, fuck off. What? It says 30 on it. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. It says 30 on the hat. It does.

Oh, the little face of you all over the cake has a party hat and it says 30. Bloody AI. It must have assumed you were 30. It's rough, isn't it? It's rough. Thanks. Where are you going? Are you going to walk back in with a walker, aren't you?

So I'm a bit confused. While Jenna goes and gets whatever she's got, I'm a bit confused about what to do with this cake because it said on the website, the face is edible, but we recommend not eating it. I was like, that sounds like a challenge. I'll eat it. Okay, so it's got my face on it.

It's non-vincing. Oh, thanks, Jenna. Jenna's just walked in with a bottle of sparkling. Yes, and it's a really nice one. Oh, this is lovely. Yeah, it's a nice one. Gorgeous. What to get the boy that has everything.

She didn't bring any glasses in, so I guess you're just going to have to drink from the bottle if you want. It's for you and Stephen. Oh, that's very sweet. Do you guys want a glass? Would you have one, Mitchell? Oh, I could have one. I've got if you want. It's for you and Stephen. Oh, that's very sweet. Do you guys want a glass? Would you have one, Mitchell? Oh, I could have one. I've got a drive, of course.

Do you want to get glasses, Jenna? Because it is my birthday. I'll get the glasses. Just you. I won't have one. Thank you. Oh, my God. So the cake has got my face on it.

Where's this photo from? It's this one I had from our photo shoot. But I asked AI to add a party hat with the number 30 on it, apparently. Yeah, yeah. You missed that one, did you? I'm 29 for the record. Well, 28 at the time of recording, I'll have you. So I am very young.

You're right. Mitchell, I feel old. Why? 29 is old. I don't think so. It's old. Yeah, but you always hear everyone say, oh, life's better in your 30s and then life's better in your 40s.

You know yourself better. You have a better time. You care less about what others think. I know. I hope that'll be me. Are you not there yet? I'm not there. I'm dreading 30.

I think it's because I've got a younger partner now. I'm like, oh, he's young and cool and I'm old. You've got so much ahead of you. He's still got cradle cap and I've got- Nappy rash. I feel bad making these jokes. I know. I started them.

I shouldn't. Yeah. No, it's just weird. It's my first birthday. I'm not doing it. I've got nothing planned for my birthday. I haven't organized drinks. I'm not doing it. I've got nothing planned for my birthday. I haven't organised drinks. I'm not seeing...

You were telling me last week, me and the misfits, that you had to share your birthday dinner with other people in the family. That's a bit slack, isn't it? I've got bolted on with Aunty Chris and my sister Becky. Oh, Janet's back with the glasses. Here we go. Thank you. This is very nice, guys.

I need to cut the cake, don't I? It's up to you. You can take it home. Oh, no, I'll cut it. We should all have a piece. This one's a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, and it's got some Cadbury favorites on top because I thought if you can't be bothered cutting the cake, you can just have a little picnic or something.

No, I should cut it. That's very sweet. That's incredible. Oh, ow! It's still on my finger! Oh, that would have killed. The cork went flying, but his finger was still in the metal twisty bit. That would have fucking killed.

I felt like a fish. Is that on camera? Yes. Wow, that really hurt me. That really scared me. You put it up against the cool champagne. That's your ice pack. It's room temperature because Jenna's a tight ass.

Oh, for God's sake, Jenna. You went to a fucking liquor lane and got it off the sales shelf, didn't you? No, it wasn't on sale, but it wasn't in the chilled section. No, because it was in the prize cupboard of WSFM. No, I swear it was not in the prize cupboard. You bought it especially. That's nice. Yes, it was not.

All right. Cheers, darling. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Mitch. Nice to have you both back. Great to be here. I do have an actual present as well. So I got this because I thought, actually, no, I'm just going to give it to you.

I'm not going to explain it. All right. Oh, my God. This is your gift. Oh, it to you. I'm not going to explain it. All right. Oh, my God. This is your gift. Oh, it's tiny. Here you go. What is this? I just slid in my little jewellery box of sorts.

It's a little blue box. Wow. It's not hollow, I swear. Oh. What is it? Oh, my God, Jenna. It's the heart of the ocean. Oh, my God.

Wow. I got God. Wow. You got it. Wow. Because we all just went and saw Titanic together last weekend, the musical in Sydney, and I was inspired. I thought you'd like your own heart of the ocean. Yes, because Michael Castle, who is the man that put the show on, was wearing one.

Was he? And I went, I'm jealous. And I said to Stephen, I want a heart of the ocean. And I went to the merch stand, but they weren't selling them. Oh, well, I got you one. Where did you get this? The bottom of the Pacific, no doubt. Oh, you'd respect the hustle.

I got it off Marketplace. Did you? Yes. Who is selling replicas of the Titanic's Heart of the Ocean on Facebook? I don't know, because it didn't even say used. Really? Yeah. My mission was to get you something off Marketplace because I thought he'll respect that.

Yeah, yeah. I tried to haggle. They wouldn't budge. No. He'd respect the haggle even more, but no, no luck. Totally. But yeah, it's not even used, weirdly. This is really sweet.

Now, question, are your ears pierced? Yeah. No, you know, I remember I had the whole thing on the show, my ears. Perfect. Why? Because it came with Heart of the Ocean earrings. Look. The matching earrings. Are they real earrings or clip-ons? Yeah, no, they're real. Oh, I'm the Ocean earrings. Look. The matching earrings.

Are they real earrings or clip-ons? Yeah, no, they're real. Oh, I'm putting that on. Yeah. Shove that in your hole, mate. Oh, no. And you'll have a spare in case you lose one. Show me that.

Because they're matching. I'll put it in right now. Here you go. Slide it over. I've actually not taken this out, really, since I got it pierced. Remember I was going to infect you or something? My single. That stinks.

Oh. Oh, here we go. How do you put in a piercing? I've not done that. Yeah something. My single. That stinks. Oh, here we go. How do you put in a piercing? I've not done that. Put it in. Yep. Did it stab it in the hole? I want to see.

Can you do it for me, Jan? Yeah, of course. Here we go. Have you really just put that one little sleeper thing in? Yeah. Never changed it? Yeah. Oh, that's pretty.

That's beautiful. You look ridiculous. That's beautiful. How is it? I actually kind of love it. It's a vine. A lorven. That's my Celine is it? I actually kind of love it It's fine I love it That's my Celine Dion Wow

So Titanic We saw Titanic Which is a I mean it's The funniest night I've ever had at a theatre Hand on heart Oh my god

Wait I haven't even Had the chance to ask you Because you saw Titanic On Broadway Yes And now in Sydney Was the Aussie cast better? Aussie cast was better

I thought so Because I've seen TikTok clips of like The West End in London And whatever And I thought Nah the Aussie cast better? Aussie cast was better. I thought so because I've seen TikTok clips of like the West End in London and whatever. And I thought, nah, the Aussie people were better. Well, it's no shade to the US cast, but you need to see it to understand. No, well, I mean, there are cultural references that they cram into that show. That in America, I thought nothing will ever top this. It's so funny.

But then for the Australian ensemble, they added Aussie-isms and Aussie references. I love that. Sonia Kruger was in the front row and they kept picking on Sonia Kruger and referencing her being in the boiler room. The references that made it so much more enjoyable. That's what the Aussies did. I loved it. It was so good.

And for context, if you don't know, Titanic is like a parody musical and it's Celine Dion telling the story of the Titanic as if she was on the boat, which clearly she wasn't. But the impression of Celine Dion, freaking hilarious. It was just brilliant. I loved it. I was like, this musical was written with me in mind. It's so good. That's what I said when I first saw it.

It feels like it's written for you. It is so gay and so stupid. And also it's so silly. Like it just goes on and on and it's dumb. Yeah, it's very stupid. And some parts make no sense. And I mean, it's very much like this podcast, to be honest. There's no real through line.

Yes, yes. Same sort of vibe. There's a... Oh line. Yes. Yes. Same sort of vibe. Oh, wait. Maybe you shouldn't have said that. Why? They're theatre spoilers? No, because Sean got quite cross with me because I was telling one of my friends how much I loved it.

And I said, this isn't a spoiler, but there is a drag race reference. And Sean was like, Mitchell, you always say this isn't really a spoiler and then say something that is a spoiler. And I was like, that may be true, but I don't feel like saying there's a drag race reference is a spoiler, right? I didn't say what it was. Oh, I just did. Yeah.

I'll bleep it out. There you go. I mean, guys, the Titanic happened 150 years ago and the movie happened 40 years ago. It happened in 1912. There's a few hilarious surprises in the show that I wouldn't want to give away on the podcast before people see it because you're like, oh, the reaction is just so much funnier if you see it for the first time.

It's gold. You have to see it. Currently only in Sydney. I don't know if they've got plans to go to other cities in Australia. Surely they'd have to. You hope so. Maybe Melbourne and Brizzy. I honestly don't know.

But if you're in Sydney or you're coming to Sydney, I'd even say if you're gay, it's worth a trip to Sydney to say. If you're gay, if you're a fag hag. I don't know if you're allowed to say that, but I just did. We can. And even if you're not, some of the references, the really niche queer references might go over your head, but you'll still enjoy the show anyway. Oh, 100%.

There were references that even I didn't fully get. There were some that I was like, wait, do I know that one? I'm just going to laugh anyway. It's action packed. Yeah. But anyway, happy birthday. You've got your own fucking heart of the ocean. Thank you.

That's beautiful. I need to cut the cake for good luck. I think it's bad luck to not cut the cake. Yeah, do you take the favourites off? I don't know. Take a photo. Fuck you for putting a birthday hat on. I thought it was nice.

Mile Mitchell, you're in the photo. I'm going to post a photo of Cherry with his cake at Couple of Mitches. You tell me. It could have been an innocent mistake by AI. I definitely didn't tell AI to say that you're 30 years old. Oh, so you think AI read this and went, this is for a 30th birthday? That must be it. I look youthful.

I've had salmon come under my eyes. What? Who's salmon? I was going to say. No, no, no. I had to buy it dinner first. It was very expensive treatment. No, I had salmon semen injected to my face.

It's called something. New dermal. It's an anti-aging technique. And they take the salmon out for dinner and they dirty talk it and flap, flap, flop, flop. How on earth do they extract salmon semen? I don't know. That sounds a bit. No, it's all consensual.

How do you know? Well, the salmon's deceased. I'm going to cut the cake. Happy birthday to you. Here we go. Oh. What? There's something in the middle. Happy birthday to you. Here we go. Oh. What? There's something in the middle.

Is it? Is it a prank? No, I'm not aware of anything in the middle. Fucking hell. What's in the middle? Nothing. Nothing in the middle. I think it is a bit weak.

I'm so old. It's a dense cake. My buns. That's a beautiful dense chocolate cake. Thank you, Mitchell. You're welcome. We can eat it later on in the show. If it is your first time listening, welcome to the show.

I'm 23 and we start the show the same every week with Two Is It Just Me. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitchell doesn't know mine and I don't know Mitchell's. That's it. I will say that my Is It Just Me kind of flows on from all the Titanic chat. So maybe I should kick things off. But what's yours going to be about? Mine's got nothing to do with anything Titanic.

It's the complete opposite. It's something that I've noticed. That could be anything. It's something that I've noticed and I'm worried about this Aussie icon. That's all I'll say. Oh, okay. A young Aussie icon. We'll get to that.

Bradley, count me in, please. Is it just me or? Are the arts just fucking spoiling us at the moment? Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. I'm with you. I feel like after years of boredom, let me just talk you through the last fortnight I've had. Yeah.

The last fortnight. Titanic. Oh. We know that I'm a huge fucking Titanic nerd. Love a camp musical. It was both. And then there was, in the same week, I went and saw the Kath and Kim parody play. Oh, with Art Simone.

Yes. We were talking to her about that, and it was fucking brilliant. Was it good? I saw a lot of people went. I went in a bit worried, being like, oh, God, I love Kath and Kim. Am I going to be sitting there getting defensive, going, no, not quite right. Oh, hilarious. I felt like I was watching an episode.

It was fantastic. Oh, amazing. Great for them, Opera House. Yep, at the Opera House. I think you have to go see it if they're coming to you, wherever you are in Australia. Absolutely fucking worth it. Yeah. And then in that same week, I got a PR pack for Wicked the movie.

Oh, amazing. That's coming out in a couple of months. What did they give you? It was like a- Green face paint. No, an acceptance letter into Shiz University. Oh, that's cool. I was like, I'm probably going to drop out of that just like I did Macquarie University.

That's cool. You'll end up fucking Dr. Dillamond if you go to Shiz University. And then Katy Perry announced she's doing an Aussie tour. Yes, I saw. 414. Whatever it's called. 143. 143.

Which the album's a whole other story. I can't. I'm too exhausted to defend Katy anymore. No, no, no. I love Katy. I'm sorry. I love Katy. I think she's enigmatic and she's fun and she's very cute.

But that album. Yeah. Like there's a couple of songs, maybe three songs That have grown on me From the new album But like in the past With Witness and Smile I would defend it And be like No it's really good

Give it a chance This time I'm just like Fucking whatever Yeah It's not great That's fine But she's coming And doing a Lifetimes Tour

Which sounds like It's going to be Era's Tour-esque Yeah did you hear the drama The AFL Grand Final Which happened this weekend She wasn't allowed To perform her new song

She had to perform The greatest hits And she fought with them. Do you need to clear your throat, by the way? I'm not well. She's getting paid a million dollars per song. What? Yeah.

That's insane. And she'll be singing five songs. No wonder she's going to squeeze in as many as she can. That's insanity. Good for her. Good for Katy Perry. She's going to be here next year and she's going to do a lot of her old shit at the tour, from what I can gather.

So that's exciting. Gaga announced she's doing a new fucking album. Folly Ado. Yeah. It's meant to be like a companion album for the Joker, which I'm seeing at the IMAX, the preview. Exciting. For the new Joker movie that Gaga's in.

Yes. So I'm just like, I need to lie down. Everyone's spoiling me in the last couple of weeks. And it feels like it's all catered towards you. Yes. Such specific interest, Gaga, Kath and Kim. Which, by the way, there's a fucking crossover there as well. Yeah, we need to talk about that.

So she's releasing an album to go alongside the Joker movie. And the album's called like... Harlequin. Harlequin. I don't know why she's called it that. Well, Harlequin is her character's name in the Joker. Is it not Harley Quinn? No, she's...

Oh. No, because Harley Quinn's a different universe, isn't it? Oh, I have no fucking idea. It's all too much for me. No, Harlequin is also- Jenna, can you Google that? What is Harlequin? A Harlequin is like a Joker.

It's like a different version of a Joker. Oh, I thought she was Harley Quinn. No. And she was just saying it like an idiot. I was like, what? No, Harlequin is like a jester, a Joker. Right, okay. Yes.

But anyway, on this Joker album, Harlequin, there's a song called The Joker, and I saw the track listing, and I was like, tell me that The Joker is not the same The Joker from Kath and Kim. Right. And she released a snippet and my fucking word is Gaga performing the Kath and Kim theme song. Yeah. And before anyone comes to me, I know it was Shirley Bassey in the 60s.

Kath and Kim didn't originate it. But like fucking Gina Riley, Kelly Clarkson to that shit. It's her song now as far as I'm concerned. This is Gina Riley's version from Kath and Kim. There's always a joker. That's the move. But fate deals a hand. A lot of people didn't realise it was Kim singing it.

The joker is me. Actually Kim. The joker is me. It's great. Great song. Even I know that. This is the good bit. The joker. It's great. Great song. Very clever. Even I know that. This is the good bit. The Joker is me.

Good shit, right? Was this on every episode? Every single episode. At the start? Yeah. And would they do a scene, then the opener? No, it would start with that. Wow.

And every time Netflix says, would you like to skip the fucking opening credits? I was like, no, as if I want to hear it in full. Very few shows that you don't skip the intro for. Yeah, exactly. And so I'd love to know if Gaga realizes that it's attached to an iconic Aussie show. She probably just thought she was doing the Shirley Bassey thing. And she's probably really confused by the reaction. Yeah.

Why? What is the reaction? All the comments being like, oh, my God, it's the Kath and Kim theme song. Oh, are people cottoning onto it? Yeah. So many people. And Gaga's probably sitting there like, huh? my God, it's the Kath and Kim theme song. Oh, are people cottoning on to it? Yeah, so many people. And Gaga's probably sitting there like, huh? It's the what?

Who's Kim? No, it's Joker and Harlequin. So this is her version. Yeah. I don't hear it yet. It's the same song. That's the room. Yeah.

So it's like the same song, same lyrics, but she's done it quite differently. How did you feel when you first heard that? Because for you, you've got two main interests in life, and they are Lady Gaga and Kath and Kim. And Titanic. And Katy Perry. Yeah, but that song is ridiculous. And Wicked.

That's been a really full-on fortnight for me. When you first heard that, did you think you'd taken the wrong meds? You're like, what is going on here? I was literally just like, fuck, you couldn't write that, could you? There were lots of people saying, that wasn't on my bingo card. Can't say it was on mine either. No. What the fuck's going on? Would you be able to listen to it, though? Like, would you listen to that, and you? There were lots of people saying, that wasn't on my bingo card. Can't say it was on mine either. No. What the fuck's going on?

Would you be able to listen to it, though? Like, would you listen to that and would that be your new song? I can't ever take that song seriously, the Gaga version. I'll always hear Gina Riley's superior version. There's always a joker. That's the rule. But fate deals a hand and I see the joker is me. The weird thing is that I always wondered, watching Kath and Kim,

what the fuck does this song have to do with the show Kath and Kim? It's not really relevant. No. I think they just picked a really niche theatre song and they were like, yeah, we'll make that the opening theme. The Joker is me. Oh, that's so good. Anyway, for once I'm actually keeping up with pop culture because it interests me greatly.

Yeah. I didn't really get amongst all the brat of it all. All these things happen around me and I don't keep up. But, oh, my God, the last four nights, I'm like, you're fucking kidding. You're fucking kidding. I'm being spoiled. Fuck you, Sabrina Carpenter.

Fuck off, Charlie XCX. I want Lady Gaga and Kevin Kim. Together at last. Yeah, finally. Is it just me? You should follow these idiots online. Search couple of Mitches. Now, coming up on Wednesday, episode 236,

we're doing Talk Back Tings and Jenna's Junk, backed by popular demand. We had so many people say, Jenna's Junk is clearly overflowing. Oh, it really is. And if you follow Jenna on socials, you'll see that she's waddling. Yeah, I am. And she's stuffed. It's a huge burden, I. Oh, it really is. And if you follow Jenna on socials, you'll see that she's waddling. Yeah, I am.

And she's stuffed. I'm stuffed. It's a huge burden, I can imagine. It really is. And you've been working a lot of hours. You need to de-stress. Yeah, I need to offload. It doesn't make a lot of sense that Jenna's junk is a lot of people's favourite segment

because it's literally our worst idjams that we choose not to bring up at any point on the show. Absolutely. And so we throw it in Jenna's junk. Yeah, they're the idjams that never make the show. Yeah. But we'll bring them to the light of day. Apparently it's been a while between disposals. Yeah.

The junk is full. It is. It's too full. And then talkback tings too. Yes. And also, most importantly, revealing the final tally. Who's merch sold the most? Yeah.

That's huge. I mean, I spoke to supplier and even they were shocked that I called them. They're like, we called the wrong Mitchell. Sorry, and they hung up. I was going to say, who's the supplier? Yeah, pop quiz, Paul. Yes, that's coming on Wednesday. What have you got for us, Idjimwise?

All right, shall we go? Yes, let's go. Hit me, Bradley. Go for it. Is it just me? Is having your phone off silent the way to live? Yep. No.

You're for it? Yeah. This has only been a recent thing. Same. Yeah. I forever have always been phone on silent kind of guy. I think so is everyone. Yeah.

I always see memes and shit being like, I haven't had my phone off silent since 2013. Yeah. And then they remove the silent button from the iPhone so you have to go into the control room. Oh, really? Yeah, you can't silent since 2013. Yeah, and then they removed the silent button from the iPhone, so you have to go into the control room. Did they? Oh, really? Yeah, you can't silence it anymore. Oh, fuck that.

That's annoying. Now mine turns on do not disturb. It's a physical button these days. Oh, really? What? Oh, have you got the new one? No, it's like two iPhones ago. Oh, right.

To go to silent, you go into the phone setting. So is my one, the 13, is that the last one to have the switch? I think 14 has the switch switch and then 15 gets the action button. That's fucking annoying because if you're in the theatre and they remind you to keep your phones on silent you don't have to illuminate your face and have a big glow from the phone screen

you can just flick the switch. You can make it the silence button. You can keep it as that if you want. Overcomplicate things. Anyway, sorry. Are you leaving your phone off silent too? I've never been more responsive to people in my life. Me too. I actually hear when I get messages because I've got the Apple Watch, but you guys know

I turn all my texts off because the notifications are making me very anxious. You defeat the purpose. My Apple Watch is a clock. That's it that I have to charge. If only they had already invented a way to tell the time on your wrist. I know. That would have saved me about $1,000. So I don't get notifications, but I would miss so many calls.

The vibrations, I'd miss them. My phone was in my pocket. I wouldn't feel it. It is so much fun to have your phone on loud. It also is giving me extra dopamine. I'm like, people are trying to contact me. I love it. And it's been very handy because only in the last few weeks I've left it off silent.

And it's very handy, especially in the penthouse. Yes. If it's downstairs or something and I'll hear it go off. But you can also identify from the sound what notifications it is. Oh, Mitchell, that is a game changer. I go, oh, I got a voicemail. I love how we're talking about this as if it's new technology. I'm telling you now, kids these days would only know silent phones.

They wouldn't know that these things exist. My email sound is different to my text sound. Also, Stephen has his own little text sound. So when I'm not in the room and I hear it, it's a heartfelt, I'm like, oh, that's Stephen. When Mitchell messages me, it's the sound of a gunshot. It's a dun-dun-dun. Yeah, Jaws theme music.

When Jenna texts me, it's an anvil from Looney Tunes being dropped on Bugs Bunny. But I love it so much Yeah, me too It's been the best few weeks because I actually Like, you know how if it's on silent and you check your phone And you've got to scroll down and down There's all these fucking stupid notifications

Like emails and apps like Domino's sending push notifications Blah, blah, blah Uber Eats, time for food Yeah, you just kind of scroll through it, glaze over it And then you accidentally miss important things Because I think I've told you before, my fucking management are trying to get me to use Slack. Oh, yeah, yeah.

And the Slack logo is not that distinct, so I just kind of keep scrolling thinking it's bullshit and then I miss important things. But now, now that the phone's off silent, I hear the little whatever the Slack thing is. Oh, that's the Slack notification. Oh, it's probably a shit impression. Let me try it.

Play this. Actually, that's going to give me PTSD. Really? Yeah, my ex used to give me PTSD. Really? Yeah, my ex used to work from home and all I heard all day was Slack, Slack, Slack. Oh, my God. I was getting PTSD because Sean was sick earlier in the week, worked from home, and I just kept hearing Outlook notifications. And I was like, ah!

Yeah. It was like when I worked here. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's like me when I'm on holidays and I hear pop music. It just reminds me of doing a radio show. I'm like, shut up! Benson Boone, fuck off!

Here we go. This is the Slack notification. How was my impression compared to this? Oh, that's bang on. Oh, God. Yeah, that's it. Stop. Pretty good, right?

And this was the triggering Outlook one. I'm sure you're fucking familiar with it. You need no reminding. But for me, I was like, oh, it's been years since I've heard that. Yeah, I use Outlook in Teams. I know this, yes. Yep, that's it. No! That's horrific. No! So, like, it's been years since I've heard that. Yeah, I use Outlook and Teams. I know this, yes. Yep, that's it. No.

That's horrific. No. So, like, it's good in a way. At least I know, based off the noise, whether it's something I'm going to give my attention to. Okay, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to give you both a custom text tone. Sure. And I want you to do the same. You're in my favourites, by the way.

I mean, I'd like to think I'm in the same. I think you are. What's favourites? Is that like emergency contacts? No, you're not in my emergency. On the left, favorites. It's just the people you contact the most. How do you do a custom?

Do I have to go to your contacts? Yeah, go to my contact. Okay. I'm going to go. I've got Mitchell. I've got your old address. I need to update that. Oh, I do too.

Cheery. Here we go. What notification reminds me of you the most? Text tone. Okay. Yeah. I've got one for you already. The fuck was that? That's Chewbacca from Star Wars. I must have bought that when I've got one for you already. The fuck was that?

That's Chewbacca from Star Wars. I must have bought that when I just got an iPhone. I don't really understand Star Wars references, so I'm just going to leave it a mystery whether that's a fucking insult or not. No, it is, but you don't want it. What about this one? It's called...

I haven't actually gone through all the new fucking ringtones. This one is called Hand Off. No, that's boring. Oh, that's... Sorry, my phone's actually ringing. Who is that? That's my theme song. Yeah, we know.

Who is it? It's Stephen. Should I quickly... Hi, I'm doing the podcast. Okay, I'll let you be. Say hi to everyone. Hi, honey. Hi.

Listen to the Misfits episode. What? Hey, listen to the Misfits episode. What? I listened to the Misfits episode. Oh, God, you're so loyal. Even when your fucking partner's not there, you still listen. I think. I've never heard of that big brother presenter before in my life. Gretel Colleen.

Oh, fuck, he's so young. He's never heard of Gretel Colleen. He's not. You shouldn't have said that, Stephen. Sorry, guys. Can you remind me when he was born? What year were you born, Stephen? 2014.

Huh? That's incredible. Tell me he misunderstood the question. He's joking. He can be young and funny. The two things aren't mutually exclusive. Anyway, Stephen's got to go. He's working.

Stephen, since you're such a huge fan, maybe we should get you on the podcast. It's been a while. Oh, my God. It would be an honour. Yeah. Is this an invitation? Is it an open book? What questions are off limits?

I'll write up a list and send it to you guys, to your management. Don't bother leaving me in. Just slack him. Because Churi had Sean on in the early days of our relationship and grilled him. Did the Sean pit? Yeah. So we could do the... The Steven... The Steven... The Steve Venn...

The Steve Venn... The Steve Venn diagram. I like that. Steve Venn diagram? I don't know. Sure. We'll brain shop. We'll brain shop?

Brain shop. Brain shop it up. Okay. Thank you. Thanks for calling. All right. Bye. Love you.

Talk to you soon. Bye. See you soon. He's so cute, isn't he? What year was he born? 2002. Okay. So he would have been a newborn when Gretel Colleen was in her prime.

Oh, my God. Fucking hell. Anyway. Are we actually doing the Stephen diagram? That wasn't planned. That's stressing me out. Huh? Are you going to get him on?

I'd like to at some point. I want to. Taste your own medicine, bitch. All right. Okay. All right. Are we still doing this assigned ring tone thing? Yeah, I've chosen yours, Mitchell.

Yours is this when you call me. Austin Powers? Because it won't stress me out. Because, you know, sometimes you call and I'm like, oh, what is it? But now this will calm me and I'll go, I'm going to answer Mitchell's call. Oh, fanfare. This has got to be you. Your text tone for sure.

Oh, that's me to a T. For some reason, that fanfare has cheering energy. It does. It does. All right, there you go. There's your sign time. Yay! Dun, dun, dun.

Oh, that's great. And you've got Austin Powers. And Jenna, I deleted your contact. That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? All right, we've blabbed on enough. We should hear from one of our idiots. You guys are our idiots.

If you listen to this show by default, you are an idiot. Whether you like it or not. You don't have a say in it. We did poll people, didn't we, at one point? We were tossing up whether we should change the name of our listeners from idiots to something a bit more lovely. And they were like, no, we're the idiots. We're in too deep now.

Totally. I don't think it fits. I think it does. Being a totally, if you do make it on the podcast, you will win a totally tote bag. Yeah. Prizekeeper Jenna will hook you up. I will. All you need to do to feature on the show is come up with an

Is It Just Me of your own. Something you've noticed you hate or appreciate. To be honest, you can just have a killer story, something that you think we'd love to hear and wedge it in with an Is It Just Me. Think of the yarn, work backwards from there. Totally. If you want to DM us, you can. A couple of Mitch's on Instagram, follow us too.

You can message Mitch or I or Jenna, however you can get in touch, or text us on this number. 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 0-4-2-2-9-4-8-2-0-2 Send us a text. Today we're going to Brisbane. Brisbane, Vegas. Brisbane.

We've been going to Brisbane a lot lately. We've got a lot of Brisneyland idiots. Brisneyland? Is that what people call it? That's what I just called it. Brisneyland works. I don't know if that's a thing. Hello, Emmy speaking.

Hi, Emmy. Hi, Emmy. Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Hi. Hi. Hi. Are you not expecting us? Have we caught you in the middle of something? No, no. I. Hi. Hi. Hi. Are you not expecting us? Have we caught you in the middle of something?

No, no. I pushed that to laughter, so it's all good. All right. What have we interrupted you doing? What did you push? A wheelbarrow. No, that's bullshit. I'm not funny.

That's so good. I thought you were serious. I was like, oh, sorry to disrupt you on the side. No, no, yeah. I'm the trans tradie, except I am just trans and I'm not a tradie. That's so funny. Hey, the trans tradie, if you ever want to get into content creation, I follow the trans tradie.

100%. That is hot. All right, well, Emmy, welcome to the show. I just thought you were going to wish me a happy birthday. That's all right. Oh, no. Happy birthday. Thanks so much.

That was so unprompted. I'm just so good at remembering things. Oh, no. I've always said that about you, Emmy. Yeah. Join the club, then. Yeah, look, a lot of people have. Okay.

Bradley will count you in and then hit us with what you've noticed, hate or appreciate, okay? Okay. Go for it, Grammy. Is it just me or In the year of our Lord and Saviour 2024, should umbrellas

be fucking strong goodbye now? Yes! This was an issue for me today. I had this piddly fucking umbrella go inside out down next to Mary McKillop Place and I was parking out in front of the fucking studio and I was like, why do I bother? What size was it?

Was it a tiny pocket one or a big one? Like a middle ground. I know exactly the kind you're talking about. Emmy, has this fucked you up, has it? Oh yeah. The amount of days where I have had to walk in the rain because a teeny bit of wind has just broken the umbrella is frankly not acceptable. And look, I don't know many things better than drugs and dicks, so I'm not afraid of being wet.

But I would prefer to be wet in another way. I get you. You know what I mean? I get you. That made up for the war bar, okay. It fucks with your hair, doesn't it? Yeah. Oh, it fucks with your hair. Because I've got frizzy hair.

I've got curly, frizzy hair. Yeah. So it just really messes with it. Oh, Emmy. I get you. You know what? Nothing worse, though, than a really big, robust umbrella. Because you can't, it's not portable.

Like, I've got really nice ones in the boot of my car that are like a metre long and you pop it up and it's got the, you got the strengthening arms and it's got the waterproof. It's amazing. But you can't walk into a cafe without it. You can't walk around on a night out with that umbrella. It's not convenient. No. I decided that I was adult enough to invest in a good one.

But the problem is that I don't want to misplace nor break my good one. So I end up just leaving it at home. What are the fucking points? Exactly. Exactly. You know, the amount of umbrellas that I've purchased and then thrown out that day is ridiculous. I reckon I'm up to 12 or something.

I just keep going, oh, I forgot it again and it's raining. Yeah, it's bad. Oh, well, Emmy, listen, we'll send you out a limited edition Is It Just Me umbrella. We'll get them made for you. Imagine if we got a customer made just for you. Oh, we'd be at such a loss. We'd bank up the show. No, no, I'll invest in a good one so that a piddly bit of wind

doesn't fuck it up. Emmy, do you want us to do that? Oh, that would be brilliant. We should actually do that. Make one umbrella for Emmy. Yep. Can I have one? Okay, I'll make it two.

Okay. What colours are going to be yellow? I don't know. This is as much thought as I've given it. And while we're there, can we invest in the rash shirt? I agree. Emmy, interesting. Oh, so much demand. Well, we'll see.

We might have some news on that soon. TBC, we have a big merch update next episode, so we'll talk all things merch in the next episode. It's important to stay safe in the sun. It is. In the summer months. Emi, how long have you listened to the show? From day one, I'm sure.

I've probably listened from like 2020. Oh. Yeah. I thought you were an OG. I listened to the episodes, but there wasn't many episodes before I started listening. Only a couple of months behind. Because I found Mitchell on the TikTok live and I sent him a song of mine. Oh.

Yeah, I remember. Yeah. And he was like, oh, that's actually better than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be. Because you know how many people go, I'd love you to listen to my fucking single. And you would get these emails too, Mitchell, working in radio. And you just go, oh, God. And you just kind of dread opening the attachment.

So it's a pleasant surprise when you're like, oh, okay. Thank God. Yeah, it was a good song. Oh, where can people find your music, Emmy? Poppy Star with two R's because I'm a pop star. It's my drag name. I love it so much. Love.

All right. Well, good luck on the hustle and good luck with the wheelbarrowing. It's my drag name. I love it so much. Love. Alright, well, good luck on the hustle and good luck with the wheelbarrowing. Go get back to trading. I'll get back to work. Thanks, darling. Alright, we'll get you the Totally Tote bag too. Jenna, you send that out. Will do. Bye. Bye, love you. Alright, we should go. Yeah, we may as well get out of here. I'm going to eat some of this birthday

A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end. Am I reformed or something? I've barely touched my champagne. Mitchell, we're different people. You've barely touched that champagne three years ago. You've barely touched cake. I know.

You would have downed that and I would have had this whole cake in my gut. Do you want some cake, Jenna? Yeah, I'll have some cake. It's really good. So can I tell you something that happened when I was at home in Bougainvillea? Yeah. I've mentioned before that my grandmother officially has dementia. Oh, no.

Despite like – why did you just clap? I don't know. Sorry, I thought you weren't going to bring it up. You said officially. It sounded like an announcement. Well, what I meant by officially was like we've suspected for a little bit and then we finally got the official diagnosis. It was a shock to no one. Yeah. And so this was the first time I'd've suspected for a little bit, and then we finally got the official diagnosis. It was a shock to no one.

And so this was the first time I'd seen it in a little bit. I wasn't sure if she'd gone downhill at all in terms of her memory and whatever. Is this Jane's mum? No, Dad's mum. Anne's mum. Nana Coombs. And so we went up to visit them and sort of check on them, and I said to Mum, no, no, let me walk in the house first

because I want to see how she reacts. It's possible she remembers me as like a child. So like short hair. Don't look the same. When did you last see her? Christmas. No, Easter maybe. So it's been a while.

A couple of months. And so I walked into the kitchen first and she goes, hello darling. What's your name? And I was like, oh, is that's it that's deep and then she turns to mum and goes haven't seen her for a while about me oh no and i was like oh this is better than i expected she doesn't know who i am and thinks i'm a woman is she that person that comments on all your tiktoks all those tiktoks who's this woman oh mitchell i'm sorry that's hard to experience no it, it's fine.

But then within like 10 seconds, she clocked it. She goes, him, him, him. How are you, Mitch? Yeah. I was like, damn it. She clocked me. I was going to have some fun with this. Convinced her I'm Danny Minogue or something.

It's like, fuck. She's clocked me. You're doing domestic blitz. It's Katrina Roundtree. I'm here to renovate your house, Nan. Oh, that's hard. My Nan is awful. Nan is like 94. She's had dementia for a few years. But she has Lewy body dementia. What's that's hard. My Nan is awful. Nan is like 94.

She's had dementia for a few years, but she has Lewy body dementia. What's that? Well, her memory's all right, but she has hallucinations and then just forgets that she has them. So she just thinks when you're having lunch with her, she's having lunch with three truckies or three circus clowns or just whoever she sees in her brain is who she sees. It feels like an improv challenge for you, an actor.

You just have to roll with it and go, yes, I'm a truck driver. I kind of love it. Space jump. Space jump. Maybe I should play space jump with my nan like we're in Titanic. Oh, that's awful. Was Bogengate nice, though? It looked good.

Yeah, it was good. It was nice. I haven't really been there at this time of year. God, it's gorgeous in spring. You guys should come down one time. Yeah. We really need to. We've always said that we'd do a show from Bogengate. I year. God, it's gorgeous in spring. You guys should come down one time. Yeah. We really need to. We've always said that we'd do a show from no getaway.

I agree. I would love. What's the drive? Seven hours. I allow seven for piss breaks, but you can easily do it in five. Oh, that's fine. Fine by me. Oh, lovely.

Well, like I said, I've got nothing planned for my birthday. I've got nothing on. And I feel the closer it gets to my birthday, the more I'm tempted to message my friends and go, what are you doing Saturday night? What are you guys doing Saturday night? This Saturday, I'm eating meat pies and watching the AFL Grand Final slash Katy Perry concert. Oh, that could be fun. Yeah, there you go.

There's your birthday. We'll stick a fucking candle in the pie. Put a candle in the 4 and 20. Where are you going? Where are you watching that? Just a friend's place. You know them. You can come.

Yeah, oh, great. That's cute. Yeah, I get very anxious about birthdays. I don't know what it is. Have I always been like this? Stephen has wondered. I don't think so. No, I don't think so.

You had a fucking disproportionate 28th birthday last year. I know. With the speeches and the bloody emotion and the cakes and everything. It was like it was a fucking 40th or something. People were worried about me. It was a Princess Kate situation. You know, everyone was concerned. Oh, you're actually right. It was very much

a rally around him, show him how much he's loved at the time. Post-breakup. Yeah, post-breakup, yeah, of course. Makes sense now. Here I am. Yeah, I was really in a grim way. I can't take my eyes off your heart of the Oceaneering. I know. It's actually quite adorable. My earlobe is heavy.

Oh, does it hurt? No, it's just heavy. I just don't, I'm not used to it. But I love it. I might wear this if I go to Titanic again. Yeah. No, what you should do is, because obviously once we've finished recording here, you've got to go about your job. You're just going to wander out and resume your Kiss Night show crap.

Just don't address it. Just wear it and leave it on. I've got the celebrity psychic Georgina Walker coming in. She'd respect it. It looks a little bit Crystal Ball-esque. Oh, did you ever say this when I was in Egypt? No, she'll say, oh, I wondered where they went. Did you fucking steal my earrings?

Should I keep them on and record on my phone and see what she says? Yes. Oh, if I forget. Do you want to hear a first world problem I'm having? Please. Now that I'm in the penthouse, I used to just bark, or what is it, my Alexa, from the kitchen. If I realised there was something I'm running out of, I'd like Alexa add whatever the fuck to the shopping list sorry if I just set

anyone's off did you actually do you do that yeah and then you just go on the Alexa app when you're at the shop and it has shopping I don't believe you what do you mean I don't know how to make it any clearer you've got a shopping but you don't so you don't you don't buy online you physically go to the shop but you've got an Amazon cart that you look at? No, no, no. The Alexa app, look, shopping list. Currently there's three items, strawberries, almond milk, mini Voltaren. Because I ran out of them, I would say to Alexa,

oi, add that to the shopping list. Wow, that's so cool. And she does. And then when you're at the shops, you can just open it up. And so I would just yell it as I'm cooking. Yeah. And now that the place is so much bigger. Expansive.

She can't hear me. And so in the time it takes me to walk all the way to the lounge room to bark orders at Alexa, I'm like, I may as well just get a new one for the kitchen. Yeah, right. You'll need two. Or sometimes it's like fucking pass the parcel. I'm like, Sean, can you ask Alexa to add this to the shopping list? He goes, Alexa, add this, please.

Always says please. Do you have a camera still? Like Alexa to add this to the shopping list? He goes, Alexa, add this, please. Always says please. Do you have a camera still? Like where is the camera in the new place? Because you've got more rooms to put it. Oh, the cat cam. Cat cam. Pussy cam. Yeah, it's real tricky.

I don't know where to put it. Yeah, well, where would you? Because the one better, I just stuck it up in the corner. I had a view of basically everything. No matter where she was, I'd see her. It's hard now. Yeah. By the way, it's officially at a point where I'm welcoming visitors.

Oh, good. Oh, nice. I was wondering when the housewarming was going to be it's officially at a point where I'm welcoming visitors. Oh, good. Oh, nice. I was wondering when the housewarming was going to be. Yeah. I've got a gift and everything ready to go. I don't think we're having a housewarming anytime soon. We haven't planned that. But if you want to pop in, please do.

I'm happy to have people see it. It's like un-messy enough. Oh, that could be quite cute. I'd like that. Yeah, just pop in whenever. Oh, but so you are, is it the very top? Yeah. Like I keep saying penthouse more is a gap because you could have some really shit penthouses.

It doesn't have to be that fancy. It's just the top level of the apartment block. Yes, yeah. But you do have a gorgeous balcony. My worry is that Isabella is going to jump. She is too scared to even get to the edge, basically. Oh, poor cat. Literally baby steps.

I saw her out there yesterday and she kind of jumped up on the ledge and peered over and just went, nope, nope. Too overwhelming. She went up onto the actual ledge. No, she didn jumped up on the ledge and peered over. And just went, nope, nope. Too overwhelming. She went up onto the actual ledge. No, she didn't jump up. She just peered over. Oh, good. Because sometimes I've seen on Funniest Home Videos, they jump up and they slip off the

railing. No, I keep trying to assure Sean that she's not that dumb. She's not. No, she's not. She's the same cat. I'd turn up and she shits in the corner. Oh my God. I felt like such a fucking bad mother.

Why? Because I felt a bit bad. They've got double glazing on our windows for, like, the noise. And that means there's no windowsill. They've put the glazing where the windowsill would be. And she used to love yearning from the windowsill. Of course. Like father like son.

When we first moved in, she tried to jump up onto the windowsill, realised there wasn't one, and just toppled down. And then so I got her a cat hammock that you suction plug to the glass. And so I put it up for her because I'm like, she'll love that. She'll be able to at the birds. She'll just spend all day up there. And there's so many more birds. I'm going to get a bird bath.

It'll fucking make her day. Watching all the birds on that balcony, my God. And so I thought I'll give her a good view while she does it. I forgot to factor in the stunted legs. Oh, yeah. What do you mean? Connie's got stunted legs too. Oh, bullshit.

Connie's 10 times the fucking size of Isabella. Oh, no, she's not. She's got those stunted legs. Really? Yeah, very stunted. I don't know if you remember, Cherry, but because Isabella had a teen pregnancy. Same with Connie. Apparently that stunts their growth.

She wasn't fully grown when she got pregnant. And so it just kind of stops the growth there. So she's permanently a very little girl, tiny legs. Is that true? She is short. She's short and stout. And so I put her up on her fucking hammock and I went, there you go, sweetie. What do you think?

What can you see? She went to jump down. Oh no. I hadn't factored in that I maybe put it a little bit too high for her. She nearly snapped her neck. Sean and I both just went. It was that high? Yeah.

Like she couldn't land on her feet. She just did a flip. I was like, oh, no. How high was it? What window? Not even that high. That's her fault. You know, like the glass sliding doors,

they've got the little blocks in the middle, like halfway. I put it there. I wouldn't have thought that's too high. No. Oh, the poor thing. Did she whimper or was she pissed off with you for the whole day? Because cats get pissy, right? No, she was fine.

She was fine. But I think she's very scared of the fucking hammock now. Oh, God. See, sometimes I think I'm a dog person and then I hear things like that and I think peaceful. Because Hamish will not stop entering the room when I'm in there with Stephen. And he wants to be on the bed. He wants to be in the action. And it is painful because cats just know, oh, I understand what's happening here.

I don't want to be part of it. Dogs are like, what's that smell? I want to lick it. See, I love dogs, but only when I consent. Like, they will just get up in your shit and I don't appreciate it. I'm like, who the fuck are you? Even in the elevator. It's a very pet friendly apartment I live in, the whole complex.

So there's always a bloody dog in the fucking elevator just getting up in my shit, sniffing, licking. I'm like, I don't know you. Yeah, yeah. Dogs love to sniff. Cut respect boundaries. Yeah, I got a full allergy test done. Apparently, I'm allergic to dog saliva.

I hate to think how you learnt that. How did you ingest dog spit? I house sat for my friend Britt, Brittany Hockley from Life Uncut, the podcast, and I had a full allergic reaction to her dog. Remember I showed you? I posted it in the group. We spoke about it. I feel like you weren't sure if it was the dog or if it was the fucking sea moss.

Yes. I've done allergy tests for food and it hasn't come up. So it's like a process of elimination. We think it's dog saliva. So you're back on the sea moss. No, I'm off the sea moss. Thank God. I know.

I'm on the salmon sperm under the eyes. Oh, something ridiculous. People on this podcast, they always send me clips of skincare. They send me ugly bags like, add this to your bag collection.

Would you like it? It's just a fucking fish. What about this? Add this to your shoe collection. People must think I'm this disillusioned idiot that likes ugly things. We got a text

or was it in the group or something? Someone said, oh, add this to the list of Cheery's latest weird shoe purchases. And I was like,

the latest? Is there a list? Totally. People, I don't know. I love nice shoes. I'm wearing, look latest? Is there a list? Totally. People, I don't know. I love nice shoes. I'm wearing, look, bright blue shoes today. They're nice.

Converse. Converse. It's hard for you to defend that you don't have absurd taste in fashion when you're wearing two hearts in the ocean. Cheap plastic crystals. And they weirdly suit you. They do. I'm pulling it off.

Well, Sapphire is my birthstone. Oh. It's the September 30 birthstone. I wear a lot of Sapphire. You know how I gave you so much shit for the CMOS? Sapphire is my birthstone. Oh. It's the September 30 birthstone. I wear a lot of sapphire. You know how I gave you so much shit for the sea moss? Do you remember that time on the podcast we were trying apple cider vinegar because Katy Perry said so? She said it's good for you. Yeah, I do.

I do. Let me tell you, I've fallen for another Katy Perry scam, I guess. Not even a scam, but I've been influenced by her again. What? She posted a video where someone woke her up and said, it's album release day. And she wakes up and rips the mouth tape off. Oh. And I was like, mouth tape?

What's that all about? I Googled it. And it's like, oh, you get the best night's sleep ever because the pure nose breathing is apparently, it encourages a deeper rest or some shit. And I was like, I don't need that much more information. Sold. If it's good enough for Katie, I'll do it.

So I got some mouth tape. And I was pretty convinced the first night I woke up, the first morning after I mean, oh, that worked wonders. I feel amazing. And Sean's like, I did have to reapply the tape a few times. Like I noticed in the middle of the night that you just be like. I've spoken about this on the show. I've mouth taped for years.

Does it actually do anything though? No, I've stopped mouth taping. I've still stopped mouth taping. I don't think it does, but it is right. Breathing through your nose, the oxygen you get through your nose is because your mouth takes in more and more carbon dioxide. I don't fucking know. And also like the dry mouth

thing. Yeah. Well, I've got sleep apnea so I have a nose machine on. So I had to tape my mouth so air wouldn't come out. But my GP's like, if you vomit, he's like, you don't know the patients that I've had. He goes, if you vomit with mouth tape on, you'll die. He said, do not use mouth tape. That's a good point.

Or if you like have a bit of like, sometimes when we sleep, we kind of like reflux and a little bit of spit will come out. But if you can't clear it, you'll choke on it. Yeah, I did stop using it because Sean and I were sick earlier in the week. I obviously caught it off him. And every time I had like a phlegmy situation, I'd be like, with the tape on. Oh, it's the worst.

Yeah, it's the worst. Now what? Now what? Yeah. What do I do with it? Swallow it. Yuck. I'm going to be sick.

You know what the worst thing is? When you've got a congested nose and your mouth tape's on, you choke. Yeah, literally. I said to Sean, do you want some mouth tape? And this is while he was in the full thick of the sinus situation. He goes, I'll die. Yeah. I can't be putting that shit on.

Did you buy high quality mouth tape? As if I would do that. Why would I? Because there is a big difference. Because the normal just like tape, medical tape, sticks you down. But the high quality moves up and down and side to side. So you can fully move your mouth. So it's like bubble gum on your lips.

Yeah, it kind of feels like that. And also it doesn't attack facial hair. It doesn't peel off your skin and your hair. Mine barely stays on. Like, if I put on pawpaw, which I do a lot because of the bloody ADHD medication side effects, dry mouth all the time. So, I put a bit of pawpaw on before bed, put the mouth tape on, it just like slips off. Why do I bother?

I've got professional mouth tape. I can bring you some in. Remind me. Sure, okay. Actually, Stephen, on one of our very first dates, he's like, this mouthpiece is not good. Shut up. Put this on.

No, it didn't. All right, we should go. We need to go. Yeah, well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do. So we do.
