Starting point is 00:00:00 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. So what is the plan with this guy you've been chatting to on Grindr? Are you going to pork him this weekend? No, I've got dinner with Rebel Wilson this weekend so I can't.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Don't you hate it when you've got a Grindr hookup but you have to go to dinner with Rebel Wilson? If I had a dollar. Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you. Hello you. I'm 29. I can't believe it. You don't look it.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Thank you. I love how you were going to go. You look 30. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Well, you got two birthday episodes, remember? So I'm going to mention my birthday in twice. Oh, you're going to milk it and have a birthday week?
Starting point is 00:00:46 No, I don't want a birthday week. I just wanted to mention it one more time. A truly self-absorbed person would do such a thing. Yeah, right. I had the most awkward Facebook Marketplace meeting of my life before coming in to do the show. Yeah. You know, I love it. I'm a Marketplace fiend.
Starting point is 00:00:59 I'm getting amongst it, by the way. Yeah? It's been so good getting all this, like, a lot of it's IKEA furniture, cheaper than IKEA and already built. Guys. I've been having to get so much shit for the new place. Is it just me on the fly? Facebook Marketplace builds things for you.
Starting point is 00:01:12 It's already built. And half the time, people don't damage shit. They put it in the bedside table, put a bit of dust on it, clean it. Exactly. No, I'm loving it. I'm loving it. Anyway, speaking of cleaning, Price Keeper Jenna is here. Hello.
Starting point is 00:01:23 You stink. Speaking of dirt. Yeah. Speaking of grime And you know Should be sold online for cheap Yeah sorry about that Sorry that's vulgar I took it too far
Starting point is 00:01:31 I sold a pair of shoes On Facebook Marketplace Oh you were the seller Yeah Oh interesting Yeah I do both I love it I dabble
Starting point is 00:01:37 And I bought these shoes In size 12 I'm a 13 I thought they might fit They didn't So I went shit I'm going to sell them For exactly the price
Starting point is 00:01:44 That I paid You can't just return them? No, because I bought them online. Right. You couldn't be bothered with the admin. I'm lazy. So I just went, I'm going to sell them online. And they were an in-demand shoe.
Starting point is 00:01:54 They were a drop. They were actually a New Balance Loafer sneaker. They're the most hideous shoe I think I've ever seen in my life. Hold on. I'm Googling that. New Balance Loafer. Yeah, search New Balance Loafer. I've got a photo of the actual shoe.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Wait, let's see. Oh, they're not that hideous. Why did you buy them if you thought they were hideous? Because it's kind of the fashion to be aware that it's ugly. Okay. It's ugly fashion. They didn't fit. Well, I've been doing that for years.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Why does no one tell me I'm fashion forward? I wear daggy shit. I've been trying to tell you. Anyway, so this guy said, I'll meet you at the train station because it was near the Pepsi Palace. Okay, and that's already sus. Totally. It looks like you're doing a drug deal.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Well, that's right. The only way I'll step foot near a train station is if money's involved. So I went, I'll meet you there. So I go there and I message him and I go, hey, I'm here. He goes, so am I. And I'm like, oh, well, I'm in the common area. And he goes, oh, well, I don't want to pay for the tap off. So meet me at the tap on tap off line.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Oh my God, come on. Wait, were you in the train station? Yeah, just in the communal main lobby of the train station Oh and he didn't want to come out the other side Yeah but also he can tap off without Getting charged You've got an hour He also came on the train from another station so I thought Well you're going to have to tap off eventually
Starting point is 00:02:59 But you have to tap off for the boom gates to open right And then if you come back within an hour You don't pay for that one. Well, he didn't know this because he said, no, no, you tap on and meet me where the trains are. And I said, absolutely not. To be fair, I'm pretty sure if you had have tapped on to go over the boom gates to meet him and then immediately tapped off, you wouldn't have been charged. I know, but I didn't want to gamble with that. And I had shoes under my arm.
Starting point is 00:03:21 You're haggling, yeah. It was bizarre. So I had my producer, Grace, who's been on the show, we love Grace, with me. And we went there. Why was she with you? Because I wanted safety in numbers. Yeah, you needed your head held. I get it.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And he said, I'm in green cab, orange shirt. I went, great. So I finally see him and he's standing at the Opal Gates. So I walk up. I'm like, tap on. He's like, no, you tap on. Oh, no. I'm like, mate.
Starting point is 00:03:41 You're both so stingy. I know. And I went, no, well, we can just do it here. And he's like, we'll do it over the opal. Over the opal. What the fuck? So I stand there and put the shoes on the opal. Luckily, it's like, you know what, it was 11am.
Starting point is 00:03:54 That would have made it easier for him to just, yoink, grab the shoes, do a runner without paying. Well, Grace said to me, you've got to be very careful. He might run. I'm like, no, we've been talking for days. He'll be fine. You'll pop the shoes on and then do a runner. This is the problem, Mitchell. He goes, do you mind. I'm like, no, we've been talking for days. He'll be fine. You'll pop the shoes on and then do a runner. This is the problem, Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:04:06 He goes, do you mind if I try them on? And I said, ah, that's okay, but can you do one at a time? What the fuck? So then I could hold one in case he ran. Just tap on. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been charged. No, you wouldn't have been. So we went, all right.
Starting point is 00:04:23 So we took his Doc Martin off, put on one loafer and went and i went go for a walk and he's like okay he does a little walk he comes back and he goes can i try the second one i go yeah but take that off so he takes the first shoe off gives it to me and i give him permission to take the second shoe and he puts it on he goes and he goes yeah i, yeah, I'll take them. Would you do 210? No, 220 asking price. He's like, okay, I'm such a tight hanger. Take the cash and walk off. And you found all of that easier than just popping an email to where you bought them from and saying, I'm going to drop these at the post office and refund them for the full price.
Starting point is 00:04:59 You've always been very good at making me realize when I'm in the wrong, because you're right. You're right. I understand how you thought that was easier than refunding it but no. It's the thrill. And then I said. I bet fucking producer Grace would have had to hold your hand at the post office too if you fucking refunded
Starting point is 00:05:16 them. I also said this is my wife Grace. I don't know what's going on over me. As if that gives him less incentive to bash you. Yeah I know. Well you know he's a straight man. I was planning on it but he's's straight, so I won't. Anyway, so that was my morning. Very stressful. And he's ruined his life.
Starting point is 00:05:28 And I've got the cash in my bag now. What do I do with cash? I've got $220 cash. That's the other thing, because I haven't dabbled in selling things on Marketplace. I've got a few things that probably could go. Like, there's coffee tables and shit that we don't want to keep. I'm like, do I want to sell that on Marketplace? Because that seems like more of an effort than just, I can pick things up from other people's place, but I don't want randoms coming to the house and having to make sure I'm like, do I want to sell that on Marketplace? Because that seems like more of an effort than just,
Starting point is 00:05:45 I can pick things up from other people's place, but I don't want randoms coming to the house and having to make sure I'm home. Buying's easier, but I can do it for you for a simple finder's fee. I'll do it for 10% of the sale price. Sure, okay. Well, don't give me those eyes. I will.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I'm very good at it. It doesn't sound like you're very good at it. That was the most awkward interaction I've had. The other day I sold my sister Rachel's desk because she's redoing her bedroom because she's in book talk and now she has a bookshelf. So I sold her makeup counter. This girl picked it up and she went, can you carry it up the driveway for me? And I said, yes.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So I, like a man, carried it up with my beautiful twink boyfriend. It's a very long driveway. It is not. It isn't steep. So we carried it up, put it in a boot. It was a lovely story. That's beautiful. I've sold something once on Marketplace, and I didn't want to use my account because I'm just paranoid.
Starting point is 00:06:34 People will know where Mitchell Coombs lives. So I used my fake account beneath Marie King. Oh, yeah. We've spoken about this before, I think. And then I was like, I'm not home, but my nephew will be. He'll be there to give you whatever it was. I can't even remember what I was selling. I did the same with Jenny Townpool.
Starting point is 00:06:49 There you go. I said, my granddaughter will be there to hand it over to you. And I was. That's so funny. And I said, oh, this is from my grandma. Did you commit to the bit? I was like, sorry, Aunty Bern's not home. She said you were coming home.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah, I did. Oh, we should bring back our fake Facebooks. Mine's still going. Yours is Bernice King. Bernice Marie King. Bernice Marie King. Yours is Jenny Townpool. Yep.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And then mine is Elizabeth Libby Trickett. Yes. And her whole bit is that she hates Libby Trickett, the swimmer, because she was Libby Trickett first. Yes. She was the OG Libby Trickett. Yeah, but she couldn't swim because of the hip. And then she always shares Libby Trickett's The Swimmer's Post.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Like, surprise, bub number three on the way. And she just shares it going, bitch. Yeah. She hates Libby Trickett. We should bring them back. Mine's still kicking. Do you still post? Not as often as I should.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I need reminding often. Yeah, definitely. All right. Well, welcome to the show. Every week we start the same way with an Is It Just Me? Something we know, something we hate or appreciate. Something we know. I don't know much, mate.
Starting point is 00:07:49 It'll be a very short series, but something we know. What is it? Something we hope? Something we pray? Something we notice, hate or appreciate. We've got an Is It Just Me? Each. Yes, you're right.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I'm excited for yours this week, Mitchell. Why? You don't know what it is yet. It was a segue for you to talk about it. Oh, right. I don't even know how to. Oh, shit. I gave Oscar and Sam so much shit for not coming up with a good hook.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I know. I heard. And now I don't have one. I heard. Something that all of our parents, I suspect, are guilty of. Oh. I thought it was just me, but I reckon it's not. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Good. That's good. Well, my agent this week is actually something that I realised I hooked last episode. I, in the intro of the show last week, said my agent this week is about an Australian icon that I think is. Oh, wait, on Monday? Yeah, and then I changed my agent.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Oh, yeah, fuck. I didn't even notice. Oh, my God, you did. I forgot. What did you say? That a fucking Australian icon has got themselves embroiled in some sort of scandal. I never even asked.
Starting point is 00:08:44 And then I'm like, how good's having your phone on loud? But the thing is, I didn't do it on purpose. I just forgot. Wow. And I was actually hooked by the hook. Okay, fuck me. You're kicking things off first. I must know.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Go Bradley, hit me. Is it just me or? Is rent clearly due for Robert Irwin? That boy and no disrespect to him and what his family has been through and kudos to the Australian Zoo for everything they do with all the animals. Robert, it's okay to say no to a gig. Take that from Mitch and I. Sometimes in the start of your career you want to build your profile,
Starting point is 00:09:24 you want to get out there. But in this week alone, I've seen him on an ad for Purina, dog food, which makes sense, I guess. He was on a Google ad? He was on a Google ad. He is now the face of Queensland tourism. Is he? Yeah, he was nominated for a Gold Logie.
Starting point is 00:09:39 He hosts I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. He's doing ads for Uber Eats. This boy, you need to rest. But you know what? When he does them, he actually does them well. I know. Because I was worried sick when they announced that he was filling in on have you been paying attention as the host.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Oh, me too. I was like, oh, I get it. He's adored. But is he going to be able to keep up with the fast-paced comedy of it all? Yeah. He's got Julia holding his hand on I'm a Celeb, so that's fine. Yes. Is he going to be able to keep up with six fucking comedians?
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yeah. I thought he was amazing. He kept up. He was very funny. He was really good. It would be a different story if he was shit. And it's like, oh, stop giving Robert work. But I'm like, he's good.
Starting point is 00:10:19 No, he was funny. He knows the role that he plays as well. Yeah, he's really good. And his quips back with the comedians, with Sam especially, were really funny. I thought so. Yeah. Anyway, I just worry that something's going on. There must be bankruptcy happening with the Australian Zoo because I feel, kid, you don't
Starting point is 00:10:37 have to say yes to everything. It's all good. Why does he need all this money? Does he have to cut back his shifts at the zoo? Because I thought that, in my mind, if you go to Australia Australia zoo, you'll just see him there in the canteen. No, no, no. Mopping out the crock sheet. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:49 But there's clearly an imbalance going on because Bindi Irwin gets to sit in her castle. And, yeah, you won Dancing with the Stars US five years ago. What the fuck's Bindi up to now? Why don't you jump on an ad? Well, she's actually been very sick. Has she? Yeah, she has very bad endometriosis. Oh, the poor thing. Oh, up to now. Why don't you jump on an ad? Well, she's actually been very sick. Has she? Yeah, she has very bad endometriosis. Oh, the poor thing.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Oh, fuck. See, I was wondering, why isn't Bindi out there getting amongst her? She's unwell. Well, she's got kids now. Yeah, and she's got her child. One kid. One kid. Okay, not kids.
Starting point is 00:11:18 What's she call the kid? Is it an animalistic name? Grace Warrior. Grace Warrior. Grace Warrior Irwin? Grace? No, I love that. Whatever her husband's surname is.
Starting point is 00:11:28 By the way, I do feel like Robert has, unlike Bindi, I reckon he's loosened up a bit because he was so media trained when he first was announced doing I'm a Celeb. Yeah. He was so cautious about everything he said, and I think Bindi's still in that. But Robert's loosened up a lot. When we did, so for the pick-up, my afternoon radio show, it was going to be me, Britt or Laura going
Starting point is 00:11:48 into the jungle. And then we had to do challenges to work out who was going to go in. And he and Julia came in the studio. And that man knows how to commandeer a show. He's like, all right, Mitch, mate, your first task is X, Y, and you're eliminated, mate. I'm like, this is his show in this moment. He can take the reins. But I actually, I remember this moment.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I'm going to try and find it. It was fucking hilarious. It was when they were doing the press rounds for I'm a Celeb. It was probably around the same time that this happened. Robert and Julia went on Kyle and Jackie O, and Kyle Sanderlens outright asked him about his relationship. Oh, because he just had a breakup. The breakup and stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And Robert was clearly a bit uncomfortable, and Julia Morris had to swoop in and save him, and fuck, it was so funny. Yeah, play it. Her comeback. I've just found it. What happened with the girlfriend? What's that, mate?
Starting point is 00:12:30 What happened with the girlfriend? Oh, my God. Young love can be heartbreaking. And this is probably natural. This will probably happen many more times than young love. Yeah. You were right. You bounced back.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I'll tell you what you could do. You could do what I've done, which you could just find a person that hates you and buy them a house. Just do that, I reckon. I love that. So you could tell that was like, he was just dipping his toe in television presenting and he was a bit nervous. But now, loosey goosey, I like it. You know where he was brilliant?
Starting point is 00:12:59 When he presented the first award at the Logies with Hamish Blake. Yeah. First award of the night. Sam Pang nails it as the opener. And then the second award, a lot of attention, Hamish, who's so great. And then it's Robert and Hamish and their banter. This kid is going to stick around for a long time. He's going to be around.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And yet here you are saying, say no. No. Say no. No, I'm more than. Pick your choices. I just can't imagine anyone watching a show he's on and being like, can't stand him. He actually just does a good job. Well, people, the only criticism of Robert is that he's too scripted, right?
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yeah, but I reckon that's coming undone, like I said. Yeah, he's getting better. He's loosening up. Props to you, Robert. Open invitation for you to come on IJM. Yeah. Oh, can you imagine? You know, Terry comes with him to every interview.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah. Really? Yeah, because I met her when she came in. Well, who the fuck's running the zoo? That's it. Good point. Is it bloody Bindi with a kid on a tit out there? Is she having to do everyone else's work because they're out being media whores?
Starting point is 00:13:52 Who knows? Who knows? That poor zoo. Anyway, do you want my itcham now? Are we good? I'd rather to hear it, yes. Okay. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Bradley? Is it just me or? Do your parents always want you to wait till Christmas? Oh my God. Yes, they do. See, we have this toxic trait. You and I, I know this about both of us. If we want something, we just buy it.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah. I'm trying to get out of that habit. It's not good for the bank account. Yes. But my mum's always saying if I mention one thing that I might like, she'll go, we'll wait and see what Santa brings. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Or your birthday's coming up, something like that. Yeah. But I just don't have the patience for it. No. Because like when I was moving, you know, my gorgeous friend Asher, he came over with the Bissell and helped me clean the old place, like the fucking steam vac for the carpet. Oh, wow. And the spot cleaner for the couch, that sort of shit.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah. Oh, it was incredible. And I was telling mum, Jane, that sort of shit. Yeah. Oh, it was incredible. And I was telling mum, Jane, these are amazing. I'm definitely investing in one. Yeah. She goes, oh, well, wait and see what Santa brings. Yeah. And I was like, I just don't know if I can.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I don't know if I can wait. Yeah. I want a Bissell. Yeah. And I was talking to mum and she went, oh, I really need to start walking. I'm feeling a bit sluggish. I need to exercise. She went, I need new runners.
Starting point is 00:15:03 No, I'm going to ask for that for Christmas. And I'm like, Mum, Christmas is four months away. In the time between now and Christmas, you could get fit. Oh, so she's not going to start the health kick until after Christmas because she needs the new shoes. Yeah, but she'll ask for Christmas because there's no event to buy shoes. I'm like, it's $125. Go to Rebel.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Buy yourself a little sneaker. You could get them cheaper than that, a big dub or something. Totally. My dad does the same. I want new goggles for Christmas. I'm at the pool and I get chlorine in my eyes and it stings, but I'll ask for them for Chrissy. I'm like, if your eyes are stinging, mate, I'll buy them now.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Ask for them for Chrissy. What the fuck is with that? Jenna, surely your parents do this too? No. Well, Jenna's, of course, the elite, right? Jenna grew up wealthy. We grew up poor. Says you.
Starting point is 00:15:41 We did grow up poor. You had Foxtel. I didn't. I didn't. Or Oster. No, I didn't have Oster. Remember when we had Foxtel. I didn't. I didn't. Or Oster. No, I didn't have Oster. Oh, remember we had Foxtel Oster? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 God, that's good. Yeah, no, I was exactly the same. You have to wait until your birthday. But I just don't. I reckon I've got a good system now because mum's always like, what do you want for your birthday? Do you still want that blah, blah, blah? And I'm like, nah, bought it.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Yeah. And so basically every Christmas birthday, they just get me a Scout Pilates voucher. Oh, that's so good. Because you're going to buy it anyway, save you money. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Otherwise, it'd be costing me X, Y, Z a week. And I just put it towards that.
Starting point is 00:16:11 And I'm like, I actually appreciate that. Some people give you vouchers and it's a burden. You're like, oh, fuck. Now I have to get out of my way to spend this here. But the thing I'm already doing, going to Pilates a few times a week, if they want to help pay for that, beautiful. That's good. It gives me more money to impulse buy shit I don't need and can't wait for.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I'm now in the era of buying things when I need to buy them. It's so much more rewarding or if you've got a reason to do it. So I went to my neurologist the other day and she was like, Mitchell, you need to officially be drinking three litres of water a day. It's my order. You have to do it. So then straight after. Three litres?
Starting point is 00:16:44 I know because I'm tall. You'd be pissing like a pregnant bitch. I am. And it's crystal clear. Working's my order. You have to do it. So then straight after... Three litres. I know, because I'm tall. You'd be pissing like a pregnant bitch, my God. I am. And it's crystal clear. Welcome to my world. I spilled a bit on my hands and went, it smelled normal. Didn't even smell of piss. It's kind of satisfying when it's very see-through. Such a good... You're like, oh, I could drink that too. Totally. TMI, or you do a number two and it's like, didn't even have to wipe. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I'm like, that thing fell out. You know what I mean? It's very rare for someone who plays your role in the bedroom to admit that. No, I'm happy to talk about it. No, but like usually people who play your role take advantage of not having to worry about that. What do you mean? They eat curries and chilies and fucking shart everywhere. I'm the one that has to be worried about the fiber intake.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I take fiber supplements in solidarity. Thank you. We appreciate it. We price our low bottoms, Jenna and Mitchell. So my neurologist said you need to drink three liters of water a day. So what did I do? Raise your Frank Greens, everybody. I bought a bottle, Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Is that a Frank Green? Yes. Oh, I thought of you. This is so much bigger. Jenna, let's conk house together. Ready? Wow. That was like a sound healing class.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Wow. That was like a Tibetan bowl. Mine is like silver. But I was there and this lady at David Jones was like a sound healing class. Wow. That was like a Tibetan bowl. Mine is like silver. But I was there and this lady at David Jones was like, do you want the big one? And I was like, I'm not an idiot. What happened to the Yeti? The Yeti, I lost it.
Starting point is 00:17:55 It was freaking that thing years ago. But the one that Jenna has is how many litres? Two litres. It's stupid, Jenna. 200, surely. No, it's two litres. That's the sort of fucking gas bottle you'd hook up under the barbecue. That's the size, that fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:18:06 It's two litres. Did you get that Frank Green at the local servo? Did you have to walk in, get the key, walk back out, unlock it, get it, return the key? The lady at David Jones goes, you need a bottom for that Frank Green. I beg your pardon, he's here with me. And what it is, they're called bottoms and they're little silicon caps that you put on the bottom of your Frank Green to stop it from denting or getting scratched. I really want one, but they don't make them that big.
Starting point is 00:18:28 No, because there's not enough silicon in the world, Jenna. What about Google extra large bottom? Oh, Carla from Bankstown just popped up. Now, Carla would laugh at that. Actually, she would. She would. She would. No, so what she did, she went, you need to buy the bottom one.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Okay. And by the way, when he says bottom, it's like a permanent coaster that you just sit on the bottom of the bottle. As if they don't just fucking come with it. What a scam. I know. This was $100 for this whole thing. Anyway, she goes, hack, hack.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I went, what? She went, look in the bottom of the bottom. What is it? Can you see that little hole at the bottom of the bottom? Yeah. She goes, that is a house for an air tag. So you never lose your bottle. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I know. I had the exact same emotion. Like, if I lose it, mate, I've lost it. Although that's $100. Imagine tracking. Imagine someone stealing this. You get a knock at the door confronting my thief. He's stolen.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Found you, asshole. Yeah, found you, prick. Does this look familiar? You look hydrated, but give it back. Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Now, if you're not part of our Facebook group, Endurant Idiots, you must join and we are open to any sort of suggestions we get in the group. You guys are fucking honest with us. Very. Al Matthews wrote to us and said, Talkback Tings, is she coming back? I also miss Jenna's Junk. Two of our segments.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yeah, famed segments. We've been doing them since the show started. I didn't realise that we hadn't done them for a while, but guess what, Al? You're getting both today. Two in one. They're back, finally. Which one are we doing first?
Starting point is 00:19:56 I reckon Talkback Tings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go. Yes, we like to bring you any cooked shit we hear on Talkback Radio. I've got a couple of great John Laws moments ready to go. I'll save them for another week, but I want to play you something that I heard just in the car the other night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Did you guys see on the news that Uluru had like a fuck ton of rain? No, I didn't. No. Yeah, like record-breaking amounts of rain on Uluru. Like Central Australia. Yeah. Wow. And when it rains on Uluru, there's like a bunch of crevices
Starting point is 00:20:23 that turn into waterfalls. Yes. Fuck, I wish I was there. It would have been gorgeous. Yeah, and when it rains on Uluru, there's like a bunch of crevices that turn into waterfalls. Yes. Fuck, I wish I was there. It would have been gorgeous. Yeah, beautiful. They were talking about this on ABC 702. It was Richard Glover at night.
Starting point is 00:20:35 So you were listening to Richard Glover at night, not your friend Mitchell Turi. It was 6pm. Oh, good. There you go. Thank you. Thank you. That's fine. And they were talking about the rain on the rock, and they played some song by John Williamson. Apparently there's a song about exactly that, Rain on All The Room.
Starting point is 00:20:47 It was quite lovely actually, but he was talking off the back of that. And the only reason this is funny is if you're as juvenile as me, I need you to just like remove any sort of maturity from your mind right now. It's not hard now. Yeah, this is what I heard. John Williamson, Warren H. Williams. It's raining on the rock, and it really is. In fact, it is record rainfall on Uluru as long ago as, well,
Starting point is 00:21:16 37 years of records they have got, and it's the heaviest it's ever been. So as that song sang, I hope you were imagining that amazing view of Uluru with the water absolutely sluicing off that great, majestic, magical, spiritual rock in the middle of our country. Sixteen minutes past six is the time. Oh, God. The middle of that is so wet. How unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I actually think I know what he was doing. I've been in that situation when you're live, when you're trying to think of your next point, so you just keep adding words. That gorgeous, magnificent. And he's thinking, fuck, what am I, what's my next segment? Magnificent, stunning, wet. Tree.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Tree. And I was just like, it's so unfortunate that he was talking about something damp. Yeah, yeah. In the centre. Yeah, yep. Oh, the middle of that cat is so wet and damp. Blush red. Squirting everywhere.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Speaking of wet cats, shall we do this? Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we? Oh, finally. I think we should. It's been far too long in between dips into Jenna's Junk. Mitch and I have two e-gyms every episode. However, we have a lot of ideas that don't make the show. They end up on the cutting room floor, a.k.a. Jenna's Junk.
Starting point is 00:22:42 You stuff them inside. Oh, so much is stuffed inside me right now. I'm going to be honest. Part of the reason we perhaps haven't done Jenna's junk in a while is because now that we're doing two episodes a week, sometimes the junk gets a run. I'm like, well, that'll do. A couple of weeks ago, I was saying, how cute is the word lunchtime? Like that would probably salvage from the junk.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Let's be real. When I brought you, where did all the redbacks go? I was really struggling. But the thing is that sometimes we underestimate what we deem junk. Yeah. Sometimes they're actually really fun. All right, Jenna, dive in. Delve into your junk.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Oh, finally. Stick your hand right up in there, won't you, darling? Let's go. All those nails. Be careful. What have we got? Oh, okay. Is it just me or how good it's a hairbrush?
Starting point is 00:23:25 Oh, that's mine? That is junky. It is. It's just a thought. But I really meant it at the time because, wait, say with me. I'm struggling. I'd had like a week of bad hair days. I didn't want to tell you.
Starting point is 00:23:39 This was a while ago. For real. I was like, why every time I run my fingers through it, it just gets stuck. Like it's knotted. It's tangled. And I was trying every serum under the sun to try and repair it. All these different creams and treatments and masks and whatever. I was like, what is wrong with my hair?
Starting point is 00:23:57 And I sometimes avoid an actual brush because I've got naturally wavy hair. And wavy girls know what happens when you brush it. Frizz. Out of control. And so one of these days I was like, oh, fuck it. It's beyond repair. It looks shit. I'm just going to give it a quick brush.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh, my God. The difference. I was like, I just haven't brushed properly. I've used a wide tooth comb, but it's not the same as a proper brush. I gave it a brush and I was like, wow, you all slept on hair brushes. I'm with you. It's not just you because, look, have you noticed anything different about my hair recently? No. It's curly. It's natural. Has have you noticed anything different about my hair recently? No.
Starting point is 00:24:25 It's curly. It's natural. Has it not always been a little bit wavy? No, no. I used to blow dry it. Look at old photos. It was like a loaf of bread from Baby's Delight. Now I get a brush.
Starting point is 00:24:35 I've got a wide-tooth wet brush. I've got a wet brush. Do search wide-tooth wet brush. Yeah, wet brushes are good. Wet brushes are good because, Mitch, you can wet them. Oh, yeah, no, I've got heaps of those. I didn't realise they had a name. Yeah, wet brushes are good. Wet brushes are good because Mitch, you can wet them. Oh yeah, no, I've got heaps of those. I didn't realise they had a name. Yeah, they're classic. Anyway, I put my hair curl cream in and I brush it and then I go to
Starting point is 00:24:50 sleep, wake up and it's like this and I keep it like this. I love a brush. See, if I go to sleep with my hair wet, it won't be dry when I wake up. I've got a bit more to contend with. It stays wet. Yeah, of course it does. If I shower right before bed, of course. Alright, jump back in, Jenna. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Oh, God. Yeah. If I shower right before bed, of course. All right, jump back in, Jenna. Okay, here we go. Is it just me or are you worried that sushi places just make far too much sushi? Yeah, it's me. What, you reckon it's going to waste?
Starting point is 00:25:17 There's too much. Every day, I walk past my local sushi at 3pm. Sale! 30% off all sushi. I'm like, guys, there's too much sushi. There's only an hour left in the business day, and I know you're not going to sell that. Where does it go?
Starting point is 00:25:33 Like, I need to get your profit margins here. This is not the sort of thing you can just reheat the next day on the fly and call it a special. No, kingfish sashimi ain't something you put in a tupperware at the microwave. No. I worry. Make less, and then you don't have to put it on sale. Also, sorry, but sale and sushi aren't something that you don't want to get. Sale milk.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You don't want milk on clearance. No, no, no, no. I just think, guys, I'm stressed for you. All sushi places do it. You never see a sushi place with one item in the window at $4.55. They always have full salmon nigiri. And I go, unless they're taking that home for tea or they're giving it to the local homeless children, what is going on?
Starting point is 00:26:08 I would describe that time of day, like 3 or 4 p.m., as off peak. Yeah. It might not be bustling at that time of day. Hopefully people come in at night. Yeah, but then whenever I go in it at midday when it's the lunch rush and I go, can I get my spicy teriyaki, they don't have it. No, we didn't make it now. That's a personal gripe with my local sushi restaurant.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Sorry, I probably didn't need to be brought to the show. Well, that was junk. Yeah, clearly. Should we dive back in? Yeah, please. Oh, this one's the end. Is it just me or does anyone else remember floating down the stairs? Oh, this is mine.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Floating? Come on. You don't remember wearing socks as a kid and running down the stairs to get to your Christy presents or to get dinner. And you're so light because you're a kid and you're in socks that you don't actually walk down the stairs. You glide down the stairs. You just go on the tips of the steps. Come on. No.
Starting point is 00:27:01 You've never experienced that. I didn't grow up with stairs, so no. But now that I live in a penthouse with stairs, I'm more just like, I'm going to challenge my fitness and do two at a time. Skip every second step. And so it's more of a stomp. There's no gliding. Oh my God. You've got to try it. Kids, if you're listening, I think it's only a child's thing because you are so light, right? Like you're not heavy. You slide down the stairs and you just skip every... Oh, are your feet long enough that they just kind
Starting point is 00:27:28 of cover two stair edges at once? Yeah, they just... I'm telling you. Oh, I did not understand that at all. Wow. What were you thinking? That you were just running at such a pace that you were like... No, you just... I just thought you were graceful, which is why it was so hard to believe. Oh, so you're like oh, I can see it now.
Starting point is 00:27:43 You're flying on the stairs. That sounds fucking dangerous. It's scary because it's one of those feelings where your heart drops and it goes to your stomach. I'm telling you it's real. Might just be you, but we'll see. We'll find out, won't we? Message me if you floated downstairs, idiot.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Okay, here we go. Is it just me or do we need to come together as a globe and agree on PowerPoints? Oh, yeah, that's mine. Yeah, I get that. I like your one universal PowerPoint. Yeah, because I would have written this overseas. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I agree with you. Like, why are we fucking around with adapters? When are we going to have world peace if we can't agree on that? That's so true. What sort of PowerPoints we can use? And if we're going to choose one and settle on one, let's do the Australian one because it's so cute. I think so. It looks like a face.
Starting point is 00:28:25 It looks like a little face. You go to America and it's the screen poster. It's that terrified mouth with two eyes. You go to the UK, it's that horrific thick prong, thick eyes and a big mouth as well. Is it just me on the fly? Yeah. Did you think you were a fucking genius when you took one adapter overseas and one Australian power board. Oh, that's every mother's advice when you go on your first trip.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I was shocked at how many of my friends were blown away in Bali, being like, wow, how did you think of that? Yeah, no, you're a genius. Heading back in. Oh, God. Without the attitude. Oh, yeah. Is it just me or why the fuck are Woolies eggs always cracked?
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah. Yeah. Why the fuck are Woolies eggs always cracked? Are these just Woolies or are you talking about eggs in general? Well, specifically, there must be some heavy handed ogres at my fucking Woolies that I go to because there's always a cracked egg in the carton. And maybe they've realised it's cracked, put it back, or maybe they've cracked it themselves and then gone mid-shop, oh, fuck, I'll just swap that.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Because whenever I pick up, I like the jumbo eggs. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I do too. The big fat bars. You know, the green one. It's a jumbo. Yeah, I love them. Not just extra large, jumbo.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Jumbo. Yeah, they're huge. And half the time, they're cracked. There's at least one cracked and I swear it's not me. I'll get home and be like, oh my God, another cracked one. What a waste. It's not a dozen now, it's 11. But now I check every time before I put them in my basket.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And more often than not, there's a fucking cracked one. I'm like, what's going on? Yeah, it's the worst. Can everyone be gentle, please? Also, is it just me on the fly? Or should we just have free range chickens full stop? Why is there the option to do caged chickens? It seems highly unethical.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Caged chickens, that's cruelty. Yeah, but we shouldn't be allowed to be caging chickens. Are they still caged chickens, full stop. Why is there the option to do caged chickens? It seems highly unethical. Caged chickens, that's cruelty. Yeah, but we shouldn't be allowed to be caging chickens. Are they still caged eggs? Yeah. I haven't gone out of my way to look for them, obviously. Not at specific supermarkets, but at smaller fruit stores and stuff that sell eggs. Do they just blatantly call them caged eggs? Yeah, literally.
Starting point is 00:30:20 No, they're sneaky. There's not caged eggs anymore. There's free range, and then there's another term they're using. Yeah, there is. I can't remember what it is. It's called something and I've been tricked by it and I bought them and I, out of protest, didn't eat them. Barn laid?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Maybe. Maybe it is. Because that makes it sound like wholesome. Actually, it could be. It's a barn laid. Barn laid. They were just minding their own business. We collected the eggs.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But the cages are in the barn. Yeah, exactly. No, I don't know. I think it might be barn laid. Yeah. Does that ring a bell? No, maybe. Who gives a fuck?
Starting point is 00:30:44 It's junk. Let's move on. Moving on. Okay, let don't know. I think it might be barn laid. Yeah. Does that ring a bell? No, maybe. Who gives a fuck? It's junk. Let's move on. Moving on. Okay, let's do this. Is it just me or do we all let deja vu off the hook? Yeah. Well, what's the other choice? We need to fucking investigate that.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Sorry. Jenna, can you Google deja vu and where the fuck does it come from? Yes, of course. You expect me to sit in a room and go, what the fuck? I've been here before. And we all go, yeah, it's deja vu. Anyway, back to the meeting. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:31:11 What the fuck is deja vu? We need to have a federal global effort to solve deja vu. And is it just random? Does it happen for any particular reason? Is there like a dream decoding you can do about deja vu? What is that deja vu actually trying to tell you? Totally. I think deja vu, everyone's like, oh, religion and spirituality.
Starting point is 00:31:29 What happens after you die? That's as close as we get in this life to something else, right? Apparently, it's thought to happen when there's a bit of a miscommunication between two parts of your brain. So this doctor says deja vu is caused by dysfunctional connections between the parts of your brain that play a role in memory recollection and familiarity. Yeah, you have had issues with memory recollection. Does deja vu happen more often for you than others?
Starting point is 00:31:55 No, I haven't had deja vu in a long time. Because you're like, oh my God, I've been here before. And they're like, you live here. No, no, it's not that bad for me. Are you guys, do you remember your last deja vu episode? No. No, I don't remember it. No, do I?
Starting point is 00:32:05 I actually don't have it that often. When other people would talk about it, I'd be like, oh, I want to experience the first time I was freaked out. But we just let it off the hook. You know, we investigate everything else and ghosts and ghouls, but Deja Vu, everyone's like, ha, ha, yeah, very normal, move on. Can someone else look into that then, if you're an expert? Yeah, I'm tasking you, Mitchell, with that one.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Okay, can I do one more? Deep, Jenna. Final jump. It's wet down there. It stinks. Ew, yuck. Is it just me or is fight or flight not an option? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Everyone speaks about fight or flight as if they're like, yeah, I'm going to fight. It's like, mate, it's biological. That is a response from your brain. If you get a gun put to your head, you don't sit there and go, wait one sec, I'm going to, hold on, I'm feeling like I'm going to fight today. I'm feeling kooky, punch in the face. You don't get to pick.
Starting point is 00:32:55 It just happens. It's an instinct. Is it bad that I actually can't wait for the day that it kicks in? I feel like I could either burst into tears or I could belt the absolute fuck out of someone. I'm capable of both. You are capable of both. I think Stephen thinks I'm fight, but I actually think.
Starting point is 00:33:11 These days you are skewing more fight. What do you mean? Well, the whole fucking thing with the boom gates at the Opal thing at the train station, that was a fight and a really unnecessary one. What if he pulled a gun on you? I reckon you would have been like, give me the shoes. I would not have died for shoes. Take grace but not my shoes. Take my life.
Starting point is 00:33:29 I think I'd be, I think I'm flight. What is flight again? Flight is run. Yeah right. Because guess what? It's fight or flight is a biological response from cavemen when a fucking saber tooth tiger was going to chomp down on you you'd either the instinct is to kill it or to run
Starting point is 00:33:44 and most women, they say, flight, and most men are fight. Well, that's just stereotyping. No, of course, but it's the biological coding that, like, the men were there to protect and the women would, you know, forage and all that bullshit. What's, I'm googling, an example of a
Starting point is 00:33:59 fight or flight situation? Because I just want to put myself there. A person running away when they see a snake in the garden. I reckon I'd do that because you're not meant to do that. Stay still. Really? You're meant to stay still? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:13 As Bindi Irwin says, stamp your feet so they can hear you. If they know you're there, they won't come near you. Oh, is that a lyric? It's a song. I'm sure we've played it on the podcast before ages ago. Don't need to hear it again. It'll give you deja vu. I won't play it.
Starting point is 00:34:25 I was going to say, I think that'd trigger my fight or flight. Is it just me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Well, as you know, we've been in an intense competition, Cherry and I. We have. Our merch store is still live, coupleofmitches.com.au. We have. We've released a bunch of new designs.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Yeah, we did. I was responsible for one design, the coupleofmitches.com.au. We have. We released a bunch of new designs. Yeah, we did. I was responsible for one design, the five-year anniversary range. Yep, correct plagiarise from Taylor Swift. Not plagiarise. Ears to Inspired. Yeah. And I was like, that bitch takes copyright seriously if I've learned anything. So I checked.
Starting point is 00:34:58 It was fine. It was fine. It was inspired, but not a direct rip-off. Appropriation. Yeah, it was parody. Her image was not used. And you came up with the I'm with idiot. Which is a play on the classic shirt that is I'm with idiot,
Starting point is 00:35:08 then an arrow pointing to the person next to you. But we changed it to the arrow. In that case, it's normally I'm with stupid, and like a husband would get that and wear it standing next to his wife. Exactly. It's a dad joke, really. Yeah, but our audience are idiots, you're idiots, and then the arrow points up because you are the idiot.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I'm actually wearing one right now. You look great. Thank you. You look great. I'm wearing the fifth year anniversary thong, G-string. I won't show you. I'm wearing my Misfits jumper. I can see that.
Starting point is 00:35:32 I didn't sell well. It's very nice. It's very comfy. And so originally we were going to try and settle on one design. Chiri didn't like mine at all. I really liked yours. And then we got to this point where we were like, fuck it. Let's put both on sale. See who wins. No, I'm just not a Swifty. That was my only thing. I really liked yours and then we got to this point where we were like, fuck it, let's put both on sale, see who wins.
Starting point is 00:35:46 No, I'm just not a Swifty. That was my only thing. I love the design. You thought that it was lame and you thought that it was a little bit like, what's the word? Naff. You thought that it was irrelevant because the Eros 2 had passed and I was like, I see your point, but look at all these Eros we've had. I know. They're Eros. Good Eros.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Good moments. And so we decided that the tally would be cut off at the end of the month, end of September. It's now October, so it's time for the results. Oh my God, this is happening. You guys ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go. I'm going to read you the top three merch items.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Okay. Just the top three. Yeah. By design. In order or not in order? I'm going to go in order. Okay. In first place, with a whopping 35% of total sales.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Wow. That's huge. The most sold design. Congratulations. To me. It's the five-year anniversary. Well done. I won. Well done. Congratulations. That's amazing. Thank you. It's the five-year anniversary. Wow, well done. I won. Well done.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Congratulations. That's amazing. Thank you. That's massive. That's exciting. 35. That's huge. It's a good innings.
Starting point is 00:36:53 It is 35% of all shit. That's huge. Thank you. Well done. Now, in second place with 26% of sales. Oh, good. That's a good number. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:07 It is Churi's I'm With Idiot design. Oh, wow. However, and you're not going to like this at all. It's actually tied second. Oh. It's not 26% of sales. It's 13 each. There were two things that sold the exact same amount.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah. Oh. So tied second place is Oscar's chicken design. Fantastic. When I got the results, I was like, oh, you fucking couldn't write that. No, you couldn't. Good for them. Fair's fair.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I just couldn't believe it. What are the odds? I will say this. I feel that you would have been in with a better chance if you backed yourself a bit better. Yeah, I agree. I didn't really see much promotion on your social media for your own merch. No, I'll be honest. I did forget.
Starting point is 00:38:11 And you sent me the assets and I forgot to post them. And I saw you flogging some fucking sandwich that's named after you. It's only available at two cafes. But your own merch that's available globally. No, I didn't post about that. You could have won. I could have won. Instead, I let the lesser than in society win.
Starting point is 00:38:32 That's nice. And also, I will say this. I do have a bit of an advantage because we tallied just the design, and my design is available on more things than yours. Oh, right. Because mine's available on the coffee mug and the water bottle. Yeah. Whereas yours isn't because it doesn't make sense that I'm with Idiot thing only works
Starting point is 00:38:48 on clothes. True. Yeah. And mine was only on one thing. Well, it was on the clothes, but I had the clothes as well as the other things. Oh, then I demand a recount. Why don't we just count your sales of shirts versus my sales of shirts? Well, mine was 30% clothing, only 5% mugs.
Starting point is 00:39:02 So I'm still in it clearly. And mine and Oscar's, it's all the same? Yeah, all the same. Shit. Well, you know, I'll be honest. Oscar's wasn't approved by me. That was put up and wasn't approved. I actually don't think it should go towards total sales.
Starting point is 00:39:17 That's why we were on our break, Mitchell. Yeah, I reckon people were buying it because they had this whole idea that it's going to fund our trip to Japan. Yes. He fucking didn't sell enough chook and jumpers to go to Japan. I'll give you that for nothing. We'll not be going to Japan. All I wanted was to go to Japan.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah, well, that won't be happening. Oh, no. You know. My Christmas is ruined. But also, I don't want to like pick sides because it's two of my closest friends tied second, but I prefer yours. Thank you. Do we know how that-
Starting point is 00:39:43 It's witty. As do I. It's creative. I enjoy it. And you and I have always been on... It's witty. As do I. It's creative. I enjoy it. And you and I have always been on the same page in that we find it weird to put our face on things. Yeah, not for that. Even the logo is a bit much.
Starting point is 00:39:53 We're like, oh, remember the headphone jumpers we had all those years ago? They were cute. It's subtle. Yes. It's not really in your face merch. And so yours is clever. It's subliminal in a way. It is.
Starting point is 00:40:02 It is. Oscar's is just the word chokin'. Which is your catchphrase. He's made it his. Yeah. I mean, it's subliminal in a way. It is, it is. Oscars is just the word chokin'. Which is your catchphrase. He's made it his. Yeah, I mean there's... No, it's Oscars. Well, I don't know about that. I feel like that was stolen from you, Mitchell. Well, it is now because he's sold as many items of clothing as you have.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Wow, well done. No, fair's fair. Fair's game. A good game's a fair game. How did the Mona Jenner go? Well, I'm about to say in third place... Oh wow, Jenner. It's actually another tie. Oh, God. It's the tie between the Mona Jenna poster and the Totally Tote bag. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:40:34 That's great. That's nice, Jenna. Well done. Oh, wow. Well done. That's amazing. I'm so happy with that. Very cute.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah. I did win by a landslide, but that's okay. Of course. No, that's fine. I get that. Did we sell any of the contraceptive diaphrag by a landslide, but that's okay. Of course. No, that's fine. Did we sell any of the contraceptive diaphragms? We did, but they got recalled. There's so many pregnancies. That's the right choice. Why don't we
Starting point is 00:40:53 extend it for another month and see how we go? And I can actually try. Do you know what? I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that. One extra week. I've got a fucking 35% sales overall. Wow. No, not for you.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I'll just fight Eric or whatever his name is. Eric? Oscar. Oh, so you want like a tiebreaker? We could do that. A tiebreaker between Chookin and I'm With Idiots. Idiots, come on. Yes, the I'm With Idiots range is delicious and gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I couldn't fucking believe it when I saw it. I was like, what are the odds of that? And also, I've got your endorsement. I'm wearing it. Mitch thinks it's the better design. I just think that there's more thought put into it. And also, I don't think you understand the back and forth there was when Churi was designing this because he doesn't know how to use Photoshop.
Starting point is 00:41:39 He told me what to do and I was sending back drafts. It was collaborative. The font's not right. No, I was just taking your lead because you were so passionate about it. I was. You were like, the arrow's not thick enough. Yes. Change the colour, change the font, do this, do that.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And so you were very hands on. They just wrote chukin on a shirt. Yeah. I backed this and if you are a loyal idiot of ours, why the fuck aren't you identifying as an idiot? Yes. In public. I agree.
Starting point is 00:42:01 With an arrow outing yourself. Oh God, you're a good politician. Do I have your endorsement too, Jenna? Oh, I'm a misfit though and those funds would have gone to my trip to Japan. That fucking ship is sale. Totally. Oh, okay. I'll get yours. Yes, I've got
Starting point is 00:42:13 an endorsement. Alright, let's keep it open to the end of the month. Yeah, we can do a recount at the end of the month. Great, deal. Okay, good. Yeah. And this has got nothing to do with Oscar. This is purely my pride. And also, I didn't post. So, this is my fault pride and also i didn't post so this is my fault i'm not gonna lie i made it so easy i made a little graphic for you to post and i was keeping an eye out and i was like i think he's forgotten to post but then i realized why i don't
Starting point is 00:42:33 remind him i'm trying to beat this bitch i know all right i'm gonna post rematch let's go it's good no i'm already the winner but you verse oscar yeah that's why imagine fuck if this backfires and you actually overtake me. Oh. That could be horrific. Shit. Even worse. A possibility. Oscar overtakes me.
Starting point is 00:42:50 It's a risk you'll take. It is a risk. It's fine. We've been very gracious giving him the airspace of the show. So if anything- He's been very gracious being available when you're not. He has. Time will tell. May the best chook win.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yes. Oh, no. Don't bring chooks. Yeah, you're right. No. May the best idiot win. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Nice. All right, idiots. You need to show don't bring chooks. Yeah, you're right. No, may the best idiot win. Yeah.

If you want to buy it, you're tight on cash. DM me, I'll transfer you the funds and I'll buy your shirt for you. I'll cook them on the side. I'm going to go to Chinatown and Paddy's Markets and stand there. I'm with idiot shirts. AID, please.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Alright, let's do it. I'm in. Well, we've got to the end of the month. Thank you. And then we'll retally. Thank you. We should get out of here in the meantime. We should. We've got to go.
Starting point is 00:43:31 It's been a big episode. Next episode on Monday. Big episode. Yes, it is. It's our five-year anniversary. Massive episode. Big. We're going to be doing another anonymous Q&A.
Starting point is 00:43:41 I'll pop the link for that in the show notes of this episode. If you want to get any burning questions off your tits. Now's the time. You can keep it anonymous. Ask us anything you've ever wanted to ask us
Starting point is 00:43:51 in five years. We will happily answer it. And some other surprises. Speaking of merch. Some other surprises on the way. Yep. A lot to talk about next week.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Oh yeah. We love you. Thank you for listening to the show. Thanks idiots. Talk soon. See ya. Bye.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end. Hello, everyone. Hello. We pretend the show's done, but then we keep talking shit. I'm taking my hoodie off, so please continue talking.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Sure. Can do. Jenna, are you proud of your Mona, Jenna? She's doing well. I'm so proud of it. I'm proud of my design, too. All the merch is gorgeous. Coupleofmitches.com.au if you want to check it out.
Starting point is 00:44:47 There's a bunch of different options. Yeah, there's heaps. But the I'm With Idiot range, come on. If you listen to this show and you go, I'm Team Turi, always have been, please go and buy the merch. It's not about Team Turi. It's about are you an idiot? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Because I've won. I'm happy with that. Now there's a new battle on our hands. I've tied and I'm not happy with that. I'm used to winning. So I would like a rematch. Jenna, do you feel any sort of competitiveness about the tote bag versus the Mona Jenna? Because it was an actual tie again.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Really? So in third place, it was tied between Mona Jenna and Totally Tote Bag. Well, in that case. That's insane. Oh, I'm getting that third place. Do you want to keep spruiking your... Yep, I'm spruiking it. Please buy the Mona Jenna.
Starting point is 00:45:27 I will do anything, please. What? You mean anything? That's desperate. Yeah, I'm desperate. Okay. Yeah. So please buy it.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Thank you. And the anonymous Q&A will be fun. You can ask us anything. Yeah. Oh, my God. And some people are so brazen when it's anonymous. Some of them I couldn't even read. I know.
Starting point is 00:45:42 We only do this for like special occasions. The last one was the 200th episode. Yep. And remember how they just flat out said, is Jenna gay or not? Yeah. Remember that? Yeah, they said a lot of awful things. Oh, but some of them I couldn't read.
Starting point is 00:45:52 No. Because it's that anonymous. Is it Ask.FM or whatever it is you do? NGL, which I think is not going to lie. NGL. Remember Ask.FM? Oh, yeah. I remember Ask.FM.
Starting point is 00:46:00 That was just like a breeding ground for high school bullies, wasn't it? It was bullies. That was horrific. It was awful. Do you remember Ask.Formspring? And they could be faceless. What was it? It was bullies. That was horrific. It was awful. And they could be faceless. What was it? Form spring?
Starting point is 00:46:07 No. It was similar. By the way, side note, one of our listeners, Jackson, during the misfit thing I did last week, he got me onto the game Roblox. Oh, that's a kid's game. Is it actually? Because I wanted to play that dress to impress thing. Oh yeah, I love dress to impress.
Starting point is 00:46:21 It's great. Can you come over? Yeah, I'd love to. I can't fucking figure it out. Stephen actually said to me yesterday, can we go on a double date because we've spoken about going on a double date. Why don't we do a Dressed to Impress double date? So we don't go out to a nice restaurant for a double date.
Starting point is 00:46:33 You just come over and fucking teach me how to use my own Xbox. We order Uber Eats and we play Dressed to Impress. It's the runway show. Yeah, but I paid the fucking 16 bucks or whatever to become a lifetime member. And then I couldn't figure out what to do next. The controls are really tricky.
Starting point is 00:46:49 The controls are tricky. You've got to finesse it. What is it for kids? PlayStation. PlayStation. Isn't it for kids? Not really. Jackson last week said that his partner, who is a school principal, plays it often.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Dressed to impress. Wow. It's very fun. There's also a Titanic thing on Roblox. I remember I went over to my cousin's house in Davao and she's eight and she was showing me Roblox. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen played Roblox.
Starting point is 00:47:14 We went out to dinner with my family and my two god sons who are 10 and 7 were talking about Roblox. And then I'm like, where's Stephen? He's bonding with the kids about Roblox. Yeah. He played it in high school. I just love a low stakes game like that little kiddie big city I did. Just get the cat back to the apartment window. Yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Of course, yeah. And then what was the other one? What are you playing? Sean plays all these like Tomb Raiders and whatever where the stakes are so high. You've got to get this fucking sword back to your overlord. I don't know. The stakes are too high. I was last night playing downhill.
Starting point is 00:47:45 What's that? You're just riding your bike downhill and you've got to try not to kill yourself. Oh, that sounds great. Oh, that sounds stakes-less. You know how if you're driving on GTA or something, you use the joystick to change your point of view? Yeah. You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Oh, that's annoying. So it's like front on and the bike's coming towards the screen and you can't really see what's in front. So you've just got to like take it easy. Yeah, that's very fun. It was so fun. The stakes are low. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Oh, so you're a real and you're still in the gaming era. Yeah. Nice. I need to get back. I paid for the fancy flight simulator. Oh, wow. Do you have a joystick for it? No.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Like the cockpit? What'd you call me? Are you on Fortnite yet? Have you got Fortnite? See, I described that as stakes are too high. I don't want to fucking fight people and swords and shit. Yeah, but you're like a whole District 12 thing. You love the Hunger Games.
Starting point is 00:48:30 No, I don't. You do, don't you love those films? No. I've never thought of Hunger Games and Mitchell. I did. I won the influence of Hunger Games. Is that what you're thinking of? That's maybe what I'm thinking of.
Starting point is 00:48:39 That was on a Nobody Asked podcast. Was that with Eden McGovern and Phil... My dick or what? Lockie McIntyre. Oh, Lockie McIntyre. I thought it was Phil Madden. Who, by the way. Was that with Eden McGovern and Phil... My dick or what? Lockie McIntyre. Oh, Lockie McIntyre. I thought it was Phil McIntyre. By the way, shout out to Eden McGovern. She was a fucking lifesaver last week during Mitchell and the Misfits
Starting point is 00:48:53 because normally when we record from my place, you bring your microphones over. Yes, the gear. I've realised that I've only got one mic for myself. Ew. And so I know that Eden records Nobody Asked from home. And so I was like, babe, can I come grab your mics and shit? And she was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:49:08 of course, why not? We were using the Nobody Asked mics last week. Eden My... So she's named after the MyGov app. Eden MyGov. I hate MyGov. I paid off my Hex debt. Yeah, you did that too, didn't you recently? Careful not to admit that. People might accuse you of being
Starting point is 00:49:24 insensitive. Well, guys, I'm sorry but I didn't you recently? Careful not to admit that. People might accuse you of being insensitive. Well, guys, I'm sorry, but I didn't even know I was paying it off. It just comes out of my pay. Oh, so you didn't purposely... No, my accountant was like, hey, you paid off your HECS debt. Oh, that's good. I'm like, oh, that's not... I didn't even realise.
Starting point is 00:49:35 It just gets deducted. You didn't even graduate. No, I did... Which makes it hurt so much more. And I do not have a degree to show for it. I've got, like, a diploma and an advanced diploma, but not a degree. Oh, yes, I'm the same. But, Jenny, you've got a full degree. Yeah, I've got have a degree to show for it. I've got like a diploma and an advanced diploma, but not a degree. Oh, yes. I'm the same.
Starting point is 00:49:47 But Jenny, you've got a full degree. Yeah, I've got a full degree. When I met Mitchell, you were in the height of your Macquarie uni days. Oh, no. I dropped out by that point. I was back at AFTRS, Australian Film Television Radio School. I knew you when you were at Macquarie. Yeah, and wasn't I just not taking it seriously at all?
Starting point is 00:50:02 When did you leave Macquarie uni? 2016. And then I started my job at Kiss in 2017. That's crazy. We've known each other for a while. We met in 2017. Five years almost. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Actually, more than five. We've been friends longer. Oh, yeah, fuck. I didn't realise that there was so much time spent not as co-hosts. Seven years of friendship. Yeah. Oh, wasn't that nice? Because we started late 2019.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Yeah. Well, your pits are wet, Mitchell, and just the right one. Oh, just the right one. Oh, just the right one. Oh, I just put my arms up to tie my hair back because it's annoying me. Have I still only got one right pit? Yeah, just one. Oh, sweating more than the other. That's so fucking weird.
Starting point is 00:50:34 What is going on there? Neurological disease. Why did you look at me when you said that? My poor brain. Should we get out of here? Yeah, I was talking to Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne quickly, who do the Life Uncut popular podcast. Was this when you were being paid to talk to them, or voluntarily? No, it was friends.
Starting point is 00:50:48 But I do have to invoice them for those chance. They had Britt was like, Britt suffers from severe migraines, so she had her neurologist on the show to discuss it. I'm like, God, wouldn't it be good to not just do a comedy show every week, and we could actually talk to, imagine if your GP just came on, or we got our
Starting point is 00:51:03 therapist on. Yeah. I don't reckon she'd do it. I've stopped seeing her. Although she's probably got a book to flog, so she might. I've stopped seeing her, so I don't see her anymore. Did you ever pay for that cancellation? No. That's why you stopped seeing her.
Starting point is 00:51:15 No. You fucking owed them. I'm being chased by her for payment. And I'm not going to pay her, because I don't want her. I saw her the other day. She's good still. Did she ask for me? No. Oh, that's odd, isn't it? Like I said, it's the elephant in the room. I saw her the other day. She's good still. Did she ask for me? No.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Oh, that's odd, isn't it? Like I said, it's the elephant in the room. Yeah, the discussion, yeah. Because, like, you know, confidentiality. I don't talk about you. You don't talk about her. Do I have, like, a code name? No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I don't bitch about you to my therapist. So the podcast with the ogre. She's like, yeah, I have another podcast that I work with. I know an ogre. Yeah. My therapist knows you guys as Long-Haired Mitchell and shot him. Oh, really? What did he say to your therapist?
Starting point is 00:51:47 Oh, just about the podcast and stuff. He's like, oh, how's it going? Successful still? And talk about the merch and all that. Clearly he hasn't seen the numbers. They're huge. I told him to get them on a Jenna. Did you actually tell him to get that?
Starting point is 00:51:59 Yeah. That'd be so fucking creepy if you did. I made him look it up on his computer. And you're paying for that hour. I am so determined. I need these shirts to sell. What do you reckon out of all the five-year anniversary items, which garment sold the most?
Starting point is 00:52:15 The T-shirt. Oh, it'd be the T-shirt. I was surprised because I think the fucking crewnecks are gorgeous. Yeah, but coming into summer. Yeah, so you're really going to have to flog that T-shirt. I'm going to post to my socials right now. Mitch, where's the link? Couple of Mitch's talk.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Do I have to send you our website? I'm joking. It's a joke. I'm playing into the fact that I'm incompetent. Couple, oh, it says couples therapy,
Starting point is 00:52:35 couples news, couple massage Sydney when it comes up. Couple of Mitch's. I'll link it. Good girl. God, our page is gorgeous. We've done so well
Starting point is 00:52:43 for ourselves, haven't we? We've really created a real business. I mean, we understand if some people aren't in a financial position to buy merch at the moment, that's okay. But just go have a look at the website. Totally. It's bloody nice, isn't it? It really is.
Starting point is 00:52:54 It is really nice. Oh, I've linked the crew neck. I really should do this off the cloud, but I'm doing it now. Yeah, you probably should. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do. So we do. And just a point. you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So we do. And just a point. The shows have been free for five years. So $40 for a t-shirt. It'd be lovely. I'll tag you, Mitch. Would you want to reshare that? No.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Damn it. I was trying to get his audience. I mean, I can if you want. Yeah. Well, that would be a solid endorsement. Just understand the predicament I'm in. I've got you and Oscar. You versus Oscar.
Starting point is 00:53:22 He is in a predicament. This is an Oscar show. You don't have to please him. But he's still my friend. And imagine this situation. You have to pick between me and... Do you have a best friend? Or am I both?
Starting point is 00:53:37 Best friend and co-host? Yeah, you kind of... I was going to say... You have to pick between me and me. Depends on what mood Mitchell I get. What about Mitchell and Grace? Because Grace does everything for you. Grace, my EP.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Yeah, see, that's hard. Yeah. I'd pick you. Oh, fucking, I know what you're doing. You want me to pick you. I'd pick you. We should go. Okay.
