This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Hello you.
Hello you.
Go!
Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
I want an enemy.
Oh, there's heaps of people that hate you.
Who would hate me?
People with ears.
Now, here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello you. Hello you. Oh, let's tell him.y and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Oh, let's tell them.
Tell who?
The prank's over.
No, don't be like that.
No, I can't, actually, because I've had so many people mad at me for saying,
here's to five more, and then we announced that we were ending the show.
Yeah, this is our first time back in the studio together since the episode came out,
where we announced we're leaving.
God, it's been a bit full on, hasn't it?
It is real, everyone.
For those wishing that it's a prank, it's real, it's genuine.
It's the right decision.
We all love each other.
There is no issues, no tension.
Jenna and I slept together at Cause No Rift.
Did it, Pricekeeper Jenna?
No, it didn't.
That was fine.
No, we're all over it.
But we're over, aren't we, Mitchell?
Yes, we are.
I'm kind of on the fence about how to feel about the reaction
because everyone's been like pouring their hearts out.
And I'm like, oh, no, I feel bad that I've made people feel sad.
But then on the flip side, how fucked off would I be if people weren't sad?
I would be like, what do you mean?
What do you mean you're not bummed?
You don't give a fuck we're leaving.
Someone commented and went, okay.
I'm like, go fuck yourself.
And someone else was like, saw it coming, sure.
I'm like, go fuck yourself.
How?
I didn't.
Yeah.
None of us did. It's our show. Yeah. It's a bit go fuck yourself. How? I didn't. And I'm on it.
None of us did it. It's our show.
It's a bit of a lose-lose situation either way, the reaction.
It is.
I don't want people to be sad, but I also don't want them to be thrilled.
Mitchell, how have you found the reaction?
Because genuinely, I had a little teary moment reading.
In that Facebook group, Injuring Idiots, I had a teary moment.
Someone, one idiot, started a thread that was,
comment how Is It Just Me has changed your life.
I know.
Which was beautiful.
And I went through all of them and the messages were gorgeous.
Like it made me so sad.
It is sad.
Sorry about that.
Yeah.
What can we do?
We're all going to be around and we're all going to be,
we're all going to be, you can consume us in many ways.
Yeah.
Some people are getting a bit confused as well.
Like people on my Facebook page, boomers, are saying, oh,
I only just discovered your page.
I love your videos, but best of luck for the future.
I'm like, I'm not dying or retiring.
I'll still be around.
Well, someone said to me, couldn't you quit one of your two radio shows?
I'm like, good point.
Well, that's a great option.
That is a good option.
I do have a couple of shows to shave off, but no, unfortunately not.
It's not how it works.
People are also saying, well, why don't you just cut back to one episode?
Why don't you do one a fortnight?
They were scrambling.
They're in the stages of grief.
They're currently bargaining.
They'll come to acceptance one day.
When we're not on the cloud.
And that's when you'll have to come to acceptance.
You want to hear the funniest thing quickly?
Yeah.
It better be funny.
Here at Pepsi.
Fuck, I shouldn't have said that.
Do you want to hear a normal story?
Sure.
Sure.
Now, if you laugh, you don't expect it.
Okay.
So as it was my birthday a few weeks ago, Brittany Hockley, who I host The Pickup with,
famed bachelorette, bought me donuts.
Oh, yes.
24 donuts.
I'm aware of that.
Bloody hell.
Oh, Mitchell, Jenna's well across this, isn't she?
I'm involved in this.
Huh?
Brittany ordered donuts to the office the day that we were hosting The Pickup.
And she goes, deliver to ARN, which is the radio network.
24 donuts kind of shits all over my one cake with the number 39.
I got the heart of the ocean.
That was beautiful.
Yeah, that's true.
So mine was better.
That's what you're saying.
Great.
Carry on.
Well, you'll soon realize why.
Yes.
I get to work and then Britt's like on her phone and she's so preoccupied.
I'm like, what's going on?
She's emailing the head of content, Jenna's's boss for wsfm because the donuts were delivered
to reception reception here at pepsi palace just read arn brought them up to jenna's team
and jenna ate all of my donuts i ate one donut okay i said no i shouldn't and then sue from
marketing came over and said i have one and i'm like okay i'll have a strawberry one and then i
went around and offered them to everyone else oh Oh, shit. So there were none left.
None left.
That does happen a bit in this building where food gets delivered and it is for everyone.
So maybe, I understand the confusion, but was your name on it?
My name wasn't.
My name wasn't on it because it was a surprise.
Britt didn't want me to get in early.
And they go, hey, you've got donuts.
And the surprise was ruined.
So she gave no name, which shot us in the foot because Jonesy and Amanda ate the donuts.
Yeah.
But I mean it was Donut King.
She could have done better.
Well she then revealed
I think Donut Kings
are the best.
No I agree.
Donut Kings cinnamon donuts
are my favourite.
Yeah but they weren't cinnamon.
They're better than Krispy Kreme.
They weren't cinnamon.
No they weren't.
Well I wouldn't know would I
because I didn't get one.
You didn't get one.
No I had half.
There was half a caramel left.
Caramel.
That caramel's pretty fucking good.
The sprinkles are the best.
I really like strawberry. I like the donut shaped the dinosaur shaped donuts. Oh yeah. Their caramel's pretty fucking good. Caramel sprinkles are the best. I really like strawberry.
I like the dinosaur-shaped donuts.
Oh, yeah.
I think I've tried those.
Yeah, the dinosaur.
That kind of defeats the purpose.
There's no hole.
No, but it's bigger, so.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, what a bummer.
I know.
I can see how that so easily could have gone wrong, though.
Yes, I was devastated.
It was my one gift.
Yeah, shit.
And then Britt was like, oh, they're the donuts.
And I'm like, whose?
And she's like, Mitch's.
And I'm like Whose? And she's like Mitch's And I'm like
Of course
Anyone else
Jenna would have
Apologised
And instantly ordered
A dozen more
She would have
Felt so bad
Because it was you
She was like
Nah it'll be right
Well Laura started
Laughing too
So we had a laughter
Together
All my co-hosts
Hate me
We got on really well
What do you mean?
I've got no respect
I got you a heart
Of the fucking ocean
You did
And a cake
With the number 30 on it.
With my face on.
The amount of fucking people that think I'm 30.
I saw my auntie and uncle, shout out Uncle Phil and Auntie Julie,
at a birthday dinner on the weekend.
They went, sorry, honey, we were in the Gold Coast for your birthday.
Here's your card.
Happy 30th.
And I laughed.
I went, hilarious.
And they went, no, happy 30th.
And I went, what do you mean?
And Julie loves the podcast.
She went, oh, no.
It was on a couple of niches.
I opened the envelope.
They gave me $200 cash because they thought it was my 30th.
Well, don't correct them.
No, no.
Normally I get 50.
So I was like, yep, I'll be 30.
Take it.
So I got extra cash.
They still give you cash for your birthday.
Yeah.
Our family rule is everyone puts in 50 for every birthday.
So everyone walks away with like 400 bucks every birthday.
That's cool.
Money bags, Mitch Avery.
It's a good system, but you end up losing that money every year
because you're giving $50 for every family member.
So you're actually kind of losing.
True.
It all comes down the lot.
My cash in the card got cut off at age 18.
That's always been the rule.
Oh, really?
What do your parents get you?
One big ticket item?
Well, lately, like I told you already,
they've just been getting me the Scout Pilates vouchers,
which is perfect
But yeah, Nan and Pop, my uncles and shit
They used to just put like, never 30, always $25 cash in a card
But that was cut off at 18, nothing after that
They still give me the card, but empty
Even with me, it was always 20 or 25
Never, never 30
Never fucking 50
No pineapples to be seen
My Alma, this birthday, gave me a lottery ticket that was a week old.
Had been drawn.
I didn't win.
So she bought it and went, I'll put it in this card.
He won't read it.
I did read it, Ulmer.
And I didn't win.
For the Taraji local news agency, I didn't win.
Maybe she thought that you wouldn't be fucked to do the admin that's involved with actually trying to do this lotto ticket,
but little does she know you're a bloody tight ass when it comes to money.
I'm not a tight ass.
You'll go to that effort.
I'm not a tight ass.
I'm saving for a house.
I want to buy a house.
It's very tough these days.
Anyway, actually, that brings me –
Don't I know it.
Oh, fuck.
I'm not even close.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm paying rent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right.
Anyway. We'll do a couple more dinnerly and you'll get there. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Anyway.
We'll do a couple more dinnerly and you'll get there.
That brings me to my idjim, actually.
If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every show is the same.
Mitch and I bring in an idjim, something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
And is it just me if you're new here?
Yes, yes.
And if you are new here, sorry about everything.
Don't get too comfy, my love.
We both don't know.
It's a shock to our systems.
But mine is about, because I'm looking to buy at the moment, because I've been at home
and I've saved.
I'm very lucky.
But I've been to an open house and I was instantly offended by something the real estate agent
said to me and only me.
Oh, they singled you out.
There were other people there.
Yeah.
There was a whole line of people.
I was at the front and she looked at me and said something and I thought, she must listen
to this show.
What's yours?
And she looked at me and said something, and I thought,
she must listen to this show.
Matt, what's yours?
My Idjim is about an everyday item, an everyday accessory that I think should be banished.
They're bullshit.
Really?
Okay.
It's like a Daily Mail article.
It's just toilet paper.
Was that too dramatic?
No, that was a good one.
No, no, but it was very hooky.
It was like, no more toilet paper.
That would be like on the tile of like a clickable thing
that I would do for WS Facebook.
Oh, for the boomers.
Would you click on this item, huh?
Oh, I'd click it.
Do you want me to go first or are you going first?
I'll go first.
Mine's real estate.
May as well.
How is that enticing?
Because we're talking about real estate.
It's a segue.
Go on, go on.
Bradley, count me in.
Hurry up.
Is it just me
or? Would you be offended
if this is what was said to you
the moment you walked into an open house?
Hi, can I get your name and mobile number?
Sure, Mitch.
Thank you, Mitch, and may I remind you
no use of the bathroom in this property
please, okay? Can you promise me that?
So I didn't say it to anyone else?
I walked in. Stephen was there. Didn't say anything to Stephen.
Were you eavesdropping?
They didn't say it to anyone else? They didn't say it to anyone else!
And I thought, excuse me?
How dare you? And them saying, you promise?
You promise me? You want to use the bathroom? No, use the bathroom.
It's prohibited. I walk in. The apartment
stunk of shit.
So someone must have. Someone did a poo
in the open house.
And clearly, like, she just was going to tell people, don't poo.
But I looked like king fucking shitter.
So she's like, this kid's got IBS or something going on.
It looks like you're a few meals ahead and a few shits behind.
A hundred of these either backed up or backed in.
So do not use the toilet.
But at first, you have to imagine what would have gone through my head.
I thought, how fucking dare you, wench?
Look at me. Oh, no. I think I know what went through your head. What? You would have gone through my head. I thought, how fucking dare you, wench? Look at me.
Oh, no.
I think I know what went through your head.
What?
You would have done one out of spite.
Imagine.
And actually just the thought of it.
It's like when you're in school and the teachers would mention head lice.
Suddenly you felt itchy.
When you're told you cannot shit, you're like, well, now I desperately need to.
A hundred percent.
It always starts.
You can feel the abdomen just go like it starts to process things. Like, I'm ready. It's awful. 100%. It always starts. You can feel the abdomen just go, like it starts to process things.
Like, I'm ready.
It's awful.
But I didn't poo in it.
The apartment did stink of shit.
And I did not make an offer.
But it did remind me of the time that I went to a Metricon open home with my family.
What's a Metricon?
Metricon's like a-
Like a home?
It's a, what do you call it?
Project home.
Oh, like a kid home.
Yeah, yeah.
They're already designed and you just buy them and they're like big Lego houses.
They just build them for you.
Gotcha.
And they have showrooms, which is a village of all fake empty houses.
I love them.
It's so cool.
It's like the Truman Show.
And the Tureys were going to build a house.
This is when I was like 13.
Anyway, I went to the house with my parents.
Big, beautiful house.
It was called the Lycra.
And we walk into the Lycra.
And I needed to go to the toilet.
So I did a poo in the toilet.
And you can't use them. There's to go to the toilet. So I did a poo in the toilet and you can't use them.
There's no water in the toilet.
Oh, no.
It's like an Ikea fucking toilet.
You're not meant to use them.
There's no hole.
No.
What the fuck did you do next?
I just fell on dry plaster.
No.
And then you're like, we've got to get out.
We've got to get out.
There's no toilet paper.
We had to leave.
I'm like, mum, we've got to go.
And we left.
What?
Yep.
And we haven't built since.
Oh, the poor bloody real estate agent that had to find that shit.
No wonder they issue warnings at the door now.
I know.
And we've been to Ikea.
They have like a plastic piece.
You can't even sit on the toilet.
You can't sit on the toilet.
Imagine if someone didn't see the clear plastic and just did a number one
and it just splashed back.
Oh, no.
Even worse than number two.
Oh, no. And then you'd be sitting in it. The smearing. Oh, no. Even worse than number two. Oh, no.
And then you'd be sitting and then, oh.
The smearing.
Oh, it's like when you go to a psychologist and they go,
what image do you see when we fold this piece of paper in half?
Oh, my God.
I see the dimple flag and I'll take two, please.
Terrible.
Is it just me?
You can follow the show online.
Just search Couple of Mitches.
If you don't, you're a little bitch.
Now, I've got to say, idiots,
I'm so fucking keen for you to hear Wednesday's episode,
number 240, because the itch and bucket list is going well so far.
Yeah, it is.
We've taken things off before the end of the year when we wrap up,
and so far we've got the rash shirts.
The rash shirts, they're selling very well.
And on Wednesday, we're going to bring you a dream guest of ours.
No, it's not Dido.
No, it's not Rachel Carpani.
Hey, I didn't reach out.
Oh, my God.
Is it Rachel?
I love that she's doing the radio theatre, but we've already recorded it.
We've already done the interview?
Is it Rachel Carpani?
Hey, I'm proud of you, Jenna.
That's gross.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Because three years ago, you would have been like, it's you.
Yeah, I would have said.
I would have gone along with it, but I'm about to tell everyone that we've already recorded it.
And the reason I can't wait for you to hear it is because it's Jessica Rowe.
Oh, my God.
It's Jessica Rowe.
TV presenter.
She is a self-proclaimed crap housewife.
She's just a bloody treasure.
A cat lady.
She's a cat lady.
She's so eclectic and eccentric in her outfits and her hair.
And she's a part of a power couple. She's married cat lady. She's so eclectic and eccentric in her outfits and her hair and she's a part of a power couple.
She's married to Peter Overton. For the international listeners,
there's like a big news nightly
journalist in this country. He has been for decades.
It's a great interview. And so we
caught up with her the other day and my
mother is a big fan of Jessica
Rowe and
she happened to be in town. She was staying with
me in the penthouse and
I said, Mum, why don't you come along?
I know you're a fan of Jessica Rowe.
And she was like, I would love to meet her.
So I brought Mum to the studio and then I said, Jane, come on in.
Come meet Jess.
Holy fuck.
No, it was like the reaction.
Oh, my.
Like I knew she'd be excited, but I didn't think it would be quite so melodramatic.
It was a bit much.
There were tears.
Tears, hugs.
Jane's reaction.
I can't wait for you idiots to hear it on Wednesday.
There was three hugs, by the way.
A lot.
There was a point where I had to crank my back and put my microphone in their face because
they both left their seats and started talking in the corner of a room.
Yeah, it was like they forgot we were recording.
They were just having their own private moment.
We were like, do we leave?
It was very sweet.
There were tears.
And yes, we do ask Jessica Rowe to add to our list of things better than drugs and dick.
And she is more anti-smut than anyone.
She never swears.
Hasn't been much smut on this show from me.
Not today.
Well, you did say we slept together.
That's not smut, Jenna.
That's truth.
That's reality.
You keep lying about women you've slept with.
What do you mean keep?
It was that school friend of yours that was like, hey, could you stop telling people we fucked?
No, it was the wrong person.
Oh, no, no.
Okay, I slept with one girl, but to hide her privacy, I named another girl that I went to school with.
Full name, last name and everything.
But I didn't realise.
I'm like, yeah, I'm protecting the real girl I slept with.
But then the other girl's like, we didn't even fuck.
Yes, you used the wrong name.
And you haven't fucked Jenna either.
No.
You can't keep doing this.
Well, Jenna ate my donut, didn't you?
It was one, okay?
I'll tell you what, mum and dad were staying with me
for a couple of nights because they
were babysitting Noah, my nephew,
because his parents, my sister and her husband,
were overseas. So they were like,
right, we'll bring him to Sydney to
stay with you so that his parents can just
pick Noah up on the way home after they land.
Because, you know, the airport's in Sydney, right?
Yeah.
True.
And the night before they were due to fly in at 6am, we were like, oh, my gorgeous penthouse balcony does have a view of the flight path.
Wouldn't it be cute if we let Noah watch his mum and dad's plane come in?
Seemed like a really cute idea at the time.
But my God, getting up at fucking 5.30.
I'm not going to get pity from Jenna.
But getting up at 5.30 was, oh.
It sounds like a dream.
Was the sky even blue?
Well, that was the problem.
We're out on the balcony.
It was freezing.
It was raining.
It was windy.
We could barely see the bloody planes through the clouds.
And at one point, some random plane is flying in.
And dad goes, is that their plane, Mitch?
And I said, it fucking can be if you want it to be.
Noah won't know.
We could just be like, there they are.
So when you were telling me the plane wasn't even theirs.
No, no, we waited.
I thought, that's just wrong.
We can't do that.
And also, Noah's a bit of a nerd.
He probably would have gone on a flight track and been like, they lied.
They lied.
That was the wrong livery.
Where did you watch the plane?
Was it Shep's Mound?
Huh?
You know how there's like a designated like car spot where you can watch planes?
No, we were just watching it from, were you listening?
It was from my balcony.
Oh, on the, sorry.
I assumed you went to the airport.
Sorry.
No.
We're not that dedicated.
How old's Noah now?
Because when I last saw him, he was an actual child.
Um, shit.
I'm going to sound like a bad uncle.
It's either seven or eight.
I can't remember.
I think eight.
That checks out.
So he's not on the trip with your sister. Huh? He's not on the trip with your sister. They didn't take him. No, they were going to sound like a bad uncle. It's either seven or eight. I can't remember. I think eight. That checks out. So he's not on the trip with your sister.
Huh?
He's not on the trip with your sister.
They didn't take him.
No, they were going to Texas for a wedding.
I think he's seven.
Is he?
Yeah.
How do you know, Jenna?
He was born in 2017.
14, seven, yeah, four, yeah, 12.
He's a kid.
It's so cute when you've got-
Are you sure, Jenna?
Is it seven?
Yeah.
Great.
That sounds about right.
That sounds about right.
Does it?
Yeah.
Yeah, my niece is seven, six weeks?
No, that's not true.
Twelve?
I don't know.
When they're counting weeks.
Yeah, you know what?
Good point.
I do, but I don't.
So that's happening.
I will also say my I'm With Idiot merch is still available, and I've had beautiful messages.
I've promoted it many a time, and I'll be promoing further.
My I'm With Idiot range is available still.
Oh, God, what?
Don't say you've got updates or anything.
No, I don't have updates.
I was just checking the calendar.
Time's ticking, dog.
We're halfway through the month.
End of October is when we retell it.
No, I've had beautiful messages from people saying, who are you?
I'm like, no, please, no.
Mitchell Turi.
They're like, oh.
Who?
That's exactly right.
But the bucket list will continue.
If you have a suggestion for us to add to our Idrin bucket list before we wrap up the
show for good, you can DM us. Yeah, I might
post something in the group, Enduring Idiots. What should we put
on the bucket list? At the end of the day, it is
still our call. We don't just take all suggestions.
We will take many suggestions.
Because we actually do need suggestions, because
the whole idea is we're doing things that we've always
said we'll do, but haven't done yet.
Fuck knows what we've said. I've forgotten half the things
we've committed to. I said I was going to get my ear pierced
on the podcast, or my nose pierced. Can't remember. But do you want to do that? It was your nose. I've forgotten half the things we've committed to. I said I was going to get my ear pierced on the podcast or my nose pierced.
Can't remember.
Do you want to do that?
It was your nose.
It was your nose.
I mean, I'd do it if they want to hear it, but sure.
I wonder who we could get to come in and pierce her.
And I need to get my ears pierced.
Both of them?
Yeah.
Because they were pierced.
You know what?
I'd get a second piercing.
I want a second one next to the big one, a smaller root.
I feel like that's something you can do in your own time.
That's not on the bucket list.
No, but I'm saying if Jenna's going to get it, you're all going to get it.
But they were never things that you said you wanted to do all along.
We're adding, we're adding.
If they've got the needle here.
Well, you want me to get my fucking hair cut on the podcast,
just getting my errands done while we record?
No.
I'm going to the podiatrist next Tuesday.
Actually, can I get my hair trimmed?
It needs it.
So that is Jess Rowe.
Next episode is going to be very exciting.
Buy rash shirts.
Buy the I'm a Idiot merch.
Sorry.
Yeah, calm down.
Buy rash shirt.
I'm really passionate about the rash shirt.
Some safety for all.
My rash shit is what I heard.
All right, you ready for my is it just me?
Here's what my niece has.
Sure.
Let's go, Bradley.
Is it just me or?
A backpack's done. Oh, I'm with you no done they've been done for a decade you reckon dude done for a decade yes i believe i i have never felt comfortable with a backpack on
and i've never and i've never looked at someone and gone you know what cool backpack i do actually
appreciate some backpacks i go that's a cool backpack but they're never cool on me because
you can tell i'm bloody uncomfortable.
Yeah.
I've recently converted to like, I suppose it's a wheel on carry on for a flight sort of thing.
But I take it everywhere.
Yeah.
I don't even come to this studio every day of the week.
No.
I barely leave the house.
Yeah.
And yet I was lugging around laptops every time I came here.
The bloody hefty fucking MacBook.
My microphone.
That's another couple of kgs.
No wonder my shoulders are fucked. Yes. It was
really bloody heavy. Yeah. And so
I got the wheelie one. Oh!
Game changer. Life changer. I'm obsessed
with it. You need to explain it. So it is a backpack.
Well, it can be. Like, here, hold on.
It's like, it looks like a traditional backpack.
You can, like, take the normal
back straps out if you want, but why the bloody hell would
you do that when you can just wheel it? Yeah, it's got like a
suitcase. It's got a handle. Yeah, it's just like a Samsonite suitcase.
And you pull the top up and you can wheel it around.
It's a mini suitcase.
And I used it for my carry-on recently.
Oh, heaven.
Yeah.
You know, there is something magical about a backpack, though.
I traveled Europe with a backpack.
No, with a backpack.
And I didn't, like, it was very handy.
But then after I traveled, I'm like, I want to get rid of it.
I sold it.
And I sold it to this woman when I was doing that pop-up shop.
You know how I was selling it at some store.
And she bought it and she goes, I got a call from the actual owner of the store.
And she said, hi, Mitchell.
Someone's here to buy a backpack.
But she wants you to list every single country it's been to because she's into spiritual healing.
And she wants to return the backpack to those places when she travels.
And you're like, ma'am, I'm in and out of LA.
That's about it.
Yeah, I might.
In that nightclub? Yeah, yeah. Burghide. I're like, ma'am, I'm in and out of LA. That's about it. Yeah, I might, yeah. Or in that nightclub.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Berghain.
I might check pocket four.
There's about four litres of semen in there.
But that's the other thing.
The idea of going backpacking sounds like a fucking nightmare.
Yeah, I see kids that go backpacking around Europe with one of those backpacks that's
like triple decker.
Yeah.
Looks like that purple Harry Potter bus.
And they are tiny as humans half the time.
They're small.
They're more backpacked than person. Or you meet like a backpacker and they're like, I tiny as humans half the time. They're small. They're more backpack than person.
Or you meet like a backpacker and they're like, I'm just traveling around the country.
I got me a visa.
And I've got this giant fucking Kathmandu thing.
They look stupid.
But like they're so tightly packed, the backpacks, because you're trying to squeeze so much in.
What if you just need to find your pawpaw and you're like, I have to unpack this whole
fucking thing.
Yeah.
Stressful.
It would be such a pain in the ass.
I hate backpacks.
Yeah.
I'm with you.
I love my backpack.
Why?
Because it's just so convenient.
It fits everything.
It has different compartments.
It has my name on the back because I got it embroidered.
And like, it's just great.
Nah, you should get the wheel on, Jenna. You'd look like a boss bitch strutting to and from the train station with your little roll on.
I take a handbag.
I've got a handbag.
I've got that too. Oh, really? Yeah. I love it. I'm such a handbag convert. It's the best your little roll on. I take a handbag. I've got a handbag. I've got that too.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I love it.
I'm such a handbag convert.
It's the best thing.
Well, mine's not a handbag.
It's a moot pack.
Yeah.
Oh, no, mine's...
You've seen my handbag.
It's got a long shoulder strap.
Yeah, it's a proper purse.
It's a proper woman's bag.
I like the moot pack.
Yeah.
It's just so much easier.
You can put your hand in.
You can throw your keys in.
God, it's so good.
I love my bag.
I only have a backpack for one thing now.
I don't take it everywhere. It's my gym bag. Let's face it. I don't use it often my bag. I only have a backpack for one thing now. I don't, like, take it everywhere.
It's my gym bag.
Let's face it, I don't use it often.
No, you don't.
Do you have a scout bag?
Well, yeah, I take it to Pilates, and it's only a short walk,
but it just gives me the shits the whole time it's on my back.
I'm like, oh, that strap's slightly lower.
That one's slightly tighter.
I need to fix that.
I can feel my drink bottle just jabbing into one shoulder blade.
It's bloody annoying.
Why do I keep doing it?
But I can't turn up to a Pilates studio with a small suitcase.
It's so extra.
It's so ridiculous.
I remember your swag bag.
My swag bag?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and all right, hey, he said, waltzing Matilda bag.
Yeah, he goes, what's this waltzing Matilda shit?
What is it?
It literally looked like a swag bag.
I thought it was really groovy, but now that I think of it, it was like khaki.
It was giving waltzing Matilda.
Was it a bandana tied to the end of a stick?
I was a jolly swagman.
Who's that koala?
That famous Aussie koala.
Blinky Bill.
Who's that koala? I don't know what I'm about to do with that.
Jenna got it. Who's that famous koala?
Or any homeless cartoon character
who's always got a stick.
Famous koala, that makes all the difference.
Yeah, sorry, famous koala.
You know how whenever someone's homeless in an animated series, I've got got a stick. Oh, you're famous, Koala. That makes all the difference. Yeah, sorry, sorry. Famous Koala. You know how whenever someone's homeless in an animated series,
I've got like a pole with like a red tartan bandana
with all their belongings in it and they're walking.
Yeah, that's exactly what you looked like.
I'm picturing.
That wouldn't be enough room for me.
I overpack.
Yeah, right.
I overbackpack.
Have you ever gotten a gym towel left in your car or in a gym bag
and then opened it up six months later and there's been a full ecosystem in there?
Oh, yuck.
No, I can't say I have.
Well, everyone thinks Wuhan created COVID, but I think it was my gym bag.
My anytime fitness towel had E. coli growing in that thing.
Yeah, it was horrific.
It stunk.
I recently made a bit of a mistake, actually, similar to that.
Every time I open the cupboard to get a coffee mug, I'm like, what for the love of God is
that?
This is a new place.
It would have gotten an end of lease clean.
Why does it stink up there?
And so I was like, maybe it'll just go away.
I'll leave it open, air it out.
But no, every time I went to the cupboard, I would smell this foul stench.
And then eventually I was like, I'm going to have to investigate this.
So I got up on the chair.
I pulled every mug down individually.
And I was like, that one's clean.
That one's clean.
I'll wipe the shelf.
Maybe there's something lingering there.
Eventually I pulled down our travel mug.
You know the travel mug that we're selling?
Oh, no.
On covermentions.com.
The one that I love and I swear by because it's big.
I love it too.
You can fit a good amount of tea or coffee in there.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I must have been brain fried one day, but I must have just taken it upstairs.
There's a little bit of tea left.
Just popped it in the cupboard without watching it.
It had curdled to buggery and it was revolting.
Yeah, it would have been.
I was like, I don't want to get rid of this cup.
But no matter how much I clean it, I'm always going to know that was their one.
Oh, it just turned me off for a bit.
I remember once I went to my mum's office when I was a kid and she had one of those
coffee machines that is all in one, like some sort of fancy Nespresso thing.
But it had one of those milk compartments that had a pipe that ran through the back
and then like the milk would come out.
And she said, don't use the milk.
Like we don't, no one uses the milk.
You just need to make coffee, then pour milk in, then microwave it.
And I was a kid.
Microwave?
Yeah.
That was how, you know how offices have their thing.
Everyone knows to add the milk, then you microwave.
Anyway, I'm like, I know I want to use milk because I want to use it.
Anyway, I use it and it's like, and use the milk because I want to use it. Anyway, I use it. Oh, no. And it's like.
And then it squeezes out of this milk canister like a jar of toothpaste.
No.
This milk, coagulated from 2004, pours out like we're watching Art Attack.
And that weird British guy squeezing dry paint off a bit of plasterboard.
How was there no stench with that?
Oh, there was.
It went into my coffee.
And no one noticed.
Ah, not in the coffee. Oh, yeah.
Disgusting.
I told the manager mum was made redundant instantly.
All the smell that ends well.
That's exactly right.
She hated that job, so.
Got something on your mind?
Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show.
Yeah, that's right.
You can get in touch with us any way you want, and we will try and get you on the show one
of the very last times, really.
There's not many chances to talk to us.
That's true.
If you've always been like, oh, I'm too nervous to throw my hat in the ring, now's your fucking
chance.
Absolutely.
Before it's too late.
Something you've noticed you hate or appreciate.
And if you want to get in touch with us and come on the show, you can send us a text on
this number.
Oh, 422948202.
Oh, 422948202.
Send us a text, please.
Yes, or send us a DM.
A couple of messages.
Up to you.
You can message us.
People also commented. People go, you're on the fly. You're on the fly.'s up to you. You can message us. People also commented.
People go, is it on the fly?
Is it on the fly?
They don't count.
You know what I'm going to be interested in?
Now that this is the first call we've had since we've announced that we're terminal,
do you think there'll be sympathy or do you think they'll not address it at all?
I don't know.
We'll see.
All right, let's go. We'll roll the dice on that.
Let's see.
Are we going to Victoria today?
We're talking to Melissa.
Whereabouts in Victoria?
Do we know?
No, she doesn't say Victoria.
How vague. I know. I say to them, where are you? And what's in Victoria? Do we know? No, she doesn't say Victoria. How vague.
I know.
I say to them, where are you and what's your name?
And they're always like, Earth, crystal.
The globe.
Yeah, seriously.
I feel a bit more specific.
Third planet from the sun.
Yeah.
All right, Melissa, let's go to Melissa in, I don't know,
ambiguous Victoria.
Hello.
Hi, Melissa.
Mitch, Mitch and Jenny here. Oh, hello. Hi. Mitch, Mitch and Jenny here.
Oh, hello.
Hi, Chuck.
Can we call you Mel?
Oh, I sure can.
Mel.
All right, only if you want because I'm one of those.
No, it's not Mitch.
It's Mitchell.
Yeah.
If you want to be Melissa, that's fine.
Oh, no, I'm a Mel at heart.
Good girl.
Good.
Whereabouts in the world are you?
We know Victoria and nothing else.
Yeah.
I live in Sky.
Sky?
Yeah. How vague? Are you a bird? Yeah. Tweet, tweet nothing else. Yeah. I live in Sky. Sky? Yeah.
How vague.
Are you a bird?
Yeah.
Tweet, tweet, honey.
I live in Sky.
Lovely.
I love that.
How old are you?
What do you do for work?
I'm 36 and I'm a therapist.
Oh, my God.
Awesome.
Wow.
That's awesome.
We could have dealt with you a couple of weeks ago.
But I'm off the clock today, so.
Good.
Do people always ask you or expect free therapy, therapy on the fly?
Oh, yeah.
I feel like people just meet me and tell me all their problems.
Like they just open up to me pretty easily.
Do you have to be like, no, dog, I'm not on the clock?
Sometimes I do, yeah.
That's so sweet.
I'm like, I'm not charging today.
And you're a smart person, clearly, if you're a therapist.
But you still listen to this show, so what's gone wrong?
Well, I think, like, who wouldn't listen to this show if they're intelligent?
That's so lovely.
Well said.
We are the podcast for scholars.
Scholastic.
We're like, can we, you guys work together on the next dictionary?
And we said, no, we don't want to.
We're working with Dimex.
I don't know who makes dictionaries.
Macquarie.
Macquarie.
That's who I was thinking of, yeah.
Well, listen, do you have an Is It Just Me?
Something you've noticed you hate or appreciate, Debbie?
I sure do.
All right, Melissa.
Mel, when you're ready, take us in, Bradley.
Go for it.
Is it just me? Or?
Is having to cook dinner for yourself every single night for the rest of your life a sick joke?
Oh, absolutely.
And then you throw in lunch on top of that.
It's fucked.
No one tells you.
And breakfast, apparently the most important part of the day.
I'd love to speak to whoever came up with that.
Kellogg's.
You reckon? Yeah, it was.
We spoke about it on the podcast.
Well, it's been five years. Don't be snarky.
That won't make our best bits montage.
Wait, so you got kids or?
No, no, just
spending for myself, which I think makes it
worse. It does. I've got to do
the cooking, I've got to do the cleaning, and
I've got no one else to sort of
take over, which can be quite
annoying. And it's like you're sort of on the fence about, yes, I want to be autonomous, a strong, independent bitch.
But also, can someone look after me, please?
Yeah, that's exactly what it's like.
You know what?
I remember when I was living with a partner, the most arguments we had was over food.
Like, who would cook?
Who would clean?
What we'd cook?
If we did Uber Eats, I paid for this one and you wanted all this and you paid for this
and we're just getting fucking wraps.
Like food really became a point of contention in my last relationship.
It's too much work, isn't it?
I agree.
It's sick.
Why haven't we invented global cafeterias?
Oh, that would be amazing.
Do you know what I mean?
I mean, Sean just gets the microwave meal, so that's kind of what that is.
Give it the microplastics, Mitchell.
His penis will stop working imminently.
You need to really stop with the microplastics.
You know what I've started doing?
This was my mother's advice.
Mel, you might be able to take this on board.
From Jane.
Because I was like, oh my God, it's just so repetitive having to cook again and again
and again.
She goes, now what you do is pick a day that you're not typically as busy as others.
So for me, that might be a Tuesday.
And because I get the dinner leaves delivered.
Thank you very much.
I just knock them all out in one morning in the containers in the fridge.
Done.
Oh, your meal prep.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
My meal prep is the way to go.
Honestly.
Yeah.
Look, you're talking.
You're talking smart here.
That's for sure.
I know the concept of meal prepping is good, but like, I just don't feel inclined to do
it.
You know what?
I get a burst of motivation to do it,
but then I find eating it the hard part because I'm at work.
I know.
I'm on air when I eat dinner every night.
So I have this Tupperware container with rice and beans and mints.
It's true.
And you heat it up and you get the condensation and you go,
oh, this is giving me the ick.
And you spend all that money on it.
Yeah.
I know, but then what's the other option?
Uber Eats.
And then you waste your money.
You can't buy a house.
That's exactly it.
And then you're homeless and you die. Yeah. Uber Eats is then what's the other option? Uber Eats, and then you waste your money, you can't buy a house, and then you're homeless, then you die.
Yeah, Uber Eats is the problem and the solution.
Oh, do you get Uber Eats in the sky?
Oh, yeah, unfortunately.
You know what's cruel?
We didn't ask to be brought into this earth, did we?
I didn't ask for any of this.
No, no, we have to.
You're like, pay your taxes.
I'm like, hey, shut the fuck up.
Yeah.
I didn't opt into any of this bullshit. No, no. to. You're like, pay your taxes. I'm like, hey, shut the fuck up. Yeah. I didn't opt into any of this bullshit.
No, no.
It pissed me off.
And look, I do have to say, and I don't want to make you guys feel guilty, but I did nearly
shed a tear when you did your announcement.
Nearly, yeah.
That you're finishing the podcast.
Yeah, and you're a therapist, so.
And apparently, listening to podcasts is a way to make time pass quicker when you're
doing chores like cleaning and whatnot.
So, sorry to make all these chores a little bit harder for you, everyone.
Yeah.
Oh, look, you've got to do what's best for you.
But yeah, we will all miss you, that's for sure.
Hey, what's your advice to the listeners?
This is perfect.
You're the first caller we've spoken to since we announced the terminology about our show.
What is your advice to the listeners who are genuinely distraught about a certain thing?
They're grieving.
show. What is your advice to the listeners who are genuinely distraught about a same thing?
They're grieving.
My advice
coming from a therapist would be
grab a few extra boxes
of tissues, get
on the search and you're just going to have
to find a second rate podcast
to take over. I thought that was going elsewhere
because I always do that when I'm upset. It works a treat.
So therapy kind of
is just common sense.
Find a new bloody podcast.
You'll be right.
No, she said second rate.
Second rate.
Second rate.
With grief, you've just got to process it.
You've just got to go through it.
We are a really good podcast, down to Mitchell's editing,
down to my comedic chops.
Jenna, of course, sits there as well.
We are a really good podcast. We actually are very good.
We're very polished.
You've got to do things so yourself.
We are. We're so polished. Like, got to do things so yourself. We are.
We're so polished.
Like, come on.
We've given you free, good, consistent – now I'm making – this is a toxic relationship.
I'm blaming them.
Yeah, I don't know why.
Where is this coming from?
I don't know.
I have energy.
No one's disagreed with that.
Well, there's someone in that car going, well, actually, I heard it in edit point.
Shut up, you.
There was an edit fuck up in the announcement episode.
Was there?
Yeah, people listening in the first hour or two, they would have heard that.
Oh, who cares?
Hey, how can we start the show with hello you but don't end it with fuck off you?
Well, it's not too late for new traditions.
Peace off you.
What are you making for tea tonight, Mel?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I might go out of my way and make a bit of toast.
Don't break a sweat.
I totally get that.
I probably will too. Now treat yourself throw in some Baked bloody beans as well
Oh now we're talking
If you weren't a therapist
I'd be like
You need to talk to a therapist
Because that sounds like depression
Hey thank you for listening

We love you
We love all our idiots

DM the page
And our pricekeeper general
Will send you out a
Limited edition
Totally tote bag

Love you all
Miss you
You're welcome
Lovely to chat down
Sweetheart I loved her You know that someone pointed. Lovely to chat to you. What a sweetheart.
I loved her.
You know that someone pointed out that you end every call with,
what a sweetheart.
And I was like, I mean, they're right, but stop picking on Cherry.
You know what?
I feel like I've created these monsters because people are really honing in
on things that you repeatedly say.
We got an anonymous question last week that I didn't read out,
and one of them was, is it just me or has Turi used too many similes?
I saw.
I was like, I can't think of an example.
And then, you know what?
Stephen's a speech pathologist.
So Stephen went back and listened and identified three similes.
He's like, what were they?
I could text him and ask.
Yeah, please.
Yeah, what?
Because I couldn't think of any.
I can't think of any.
I message him.
Hey, what were the similes that you heard me say on the podcast last week?
Love you.
I don't think you need to be a speech pathologist to identify a simile, by the way.
Don't give him too much credence.
No, I'm not.
No, no.
But he more can identify those things.
Like, you know, he identifies them easily.
I can identify them easily.
I topped English, dog.
Did you?
I'd love to meet him.
So I do.
I think it's just flowery language.
I just embellish. I'm a radio presenter. They go, you've got to talk about this topic for four minutes. So you just's just flowery language. I just embellish.
I'm a radio presenter.
They go, you've got to talk about this topic for four minutes,
so you just kind of stretch it out.
But I do.
I'm sorry.
I haven't noticed.
You know who else spoke in simile?
Who?
Winston Churchill.
William Shakespeare.
Adolf Hitler loved a simile, but we don't need to talk about it.
Yeah, fine.
Stalin?
No.
It's very hard to speak in simile in Russian.
I'm an onomatopoeia kind of guy.
Oh, that sounded so nice.
I'm an onomatopoeia guy.
Why does it sound like a musical transition?
I'm an onomatopoeia kind of guy.
Oh, that sounds like I'm scat singing.
Timon and Pumbaa.
I'm an onomatopoeia kind of guy.
That's what I just heard.
All right.
Well, thanks for listening, everyone. Do you know what an onomatopoeia is? Yes, I do I'm an onomatopoeia kind of guy. That's what I just heard. All right. Well, thanks for listening, everyone.
Do you know what an onomatopoeia is?
Yes, I do know what an onomatopoeia is.
Onomatopoeia because, like, bang, pow.
There you go.
Where that describes the sound.
So when I open a bottle of SodaStream, whoosh.
Yeah.
Pop.
Actually, that's not an onomatopoeia.
That's just an impression.
What would the onomatopoeia be?
Fizz.
Fizz, yeah.
Fizz.
Yeah.
Crackle.
Snapple.
Yeah.
Katy Perry's new tour.
Sorry, on air, on radio, I have to go,
Katy Perry touring with the Lifetime's tour, all thanks to Snaffle.
What is Snaffle?
It just sounds like I'm in a fake universe.
Like, well, thanks to Pwog Chwog.
What the fuck is a Snaffle?
The home of Bart Seitz Payments.
Oh, that's a slippery slope.
I've never done afterpay in my life because I'm like, fuck,
once I start, I'll go broke.
Can I tell you something? PayPal offer. I'm not being paid for this. PayPal offer because I'm like, fuck, once I start, I'll go broke. Can I tell you something?
PayPal offer, I'm not being paid for this, PayPal offer four repayments.
Sounds like, yeah.
No, I'm not.
I'm not making money from PayPal.
But they offer four repayments in PayPal.
What's the catch?
There's got to be one.
They're not doing that out of the goodness of their bloody heart.
Don't do it.
Okay.
Oh, Stephen replied.
About the similes? So Stephen said, you said a toilet cleaner was like a Christmas tree and you spin it around like. Oh, Stephen replied. About the similes.
So Stephen said, you said a toilet cleaner was like a Christmas tree and you spin it
around like a yarmulke.
Oh my God, they're right.
Which he corrected me.
That is the most random similes ever.
He said, which is, he goes, I know what you were trying to say.
You were thinking of a Dremel, which is a Jewish spinner.
However, a yarmulke is a Jewish hat.
So I, sorry to the Jewish community.
He likened that to a toilet brush.
I was thinking of one of the spinners.
No, it's one of the...
No, no.
I said yarmulke, which is a hat, yeah, but I meant, you know, one of those Jewish, like,
seven-sided spinners.
You should have said Beyblade.
I'm an idiot.
I should have.
Yeah.
But I'm sorry.
He also says, if you have Coombs in the room with you, please ask him DTI date night when.
He really wants to do a double date with you, me, Sean, himself and do DTI.
Oh, that's lovely.
Dress to impress.
Oh, perfect. Yeah, we can do that.
He's like very keen on a date night.
Great. You've definitely expressed keenness. Is that like a cue for us to organise it?
Yeah, yeah.
We're open. We're waiting for an invitation, basically.
Oh, great. Well, we're not there yet, but that kind of hurt my last one, but we'll see how we go.
No, it's in like, we will wait for your invitation.
Okay, well.
Open invitation.
That's not how it works.
That's just not how it works.
I know.
Sometimes you can tell when I'm in one of these moods, it just drains, Mitchell.
No, I just know what you're like when it comes to planning things.
I'm like, he keeps suggesting it.
Does he want me to take charge and lock it in your calendar?
I'm like a wombat.
I just love to be. You're Blinky Bill. I'm Blinky. Famous wombat it in your calendar? Mitchell, I'm like a wombat. I just love to be-
You're Blinky Bill.
I'm Blinky.
Famous wombat.
There's another simile.
I'm like a wombat.
I am like a wombat.
I love to be adored by the Australian public, but I want to be hidden.
Yeah.
I don't want to socialise.
I haven't seen Blinky for a while.
You don't see wombats, but when you do, oh boy, is it fun.
Well, if you don't want to do a double date, then don't invite us.
That's fine.
If you want to be hidden like a fucking wombat, up to you.
I don't want to be hidden by a wombat.
I want to see you and Sean in the
penthouse. Sure.
Okay. Perfect. Can do.
Can do. That's cute.
Anyway, we hope... No, we don't. We don't hope anything.
Bye. We're going. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mitchell, what are you talking about? We'll see you all very soon.
We love you so much. Thank you for the
kind words. We'll be back on Wednesday. Talk soon.
Bye, bye. Jess Rowe will be here.
See you.
Bye.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We want people to think the show's done, but guess what?
It's not.
We go rogue and talk shit for a little while.
Can you do me something, Mitchell?
Yeah, well.
Can you send me a text?
Sure.
Just send me a text because a few weeks ago on the show, I thought I was setting your ringtone.
However, I was accidentally setting your text tone.
That's what I thought we were doing.
Yeah.
I'm an idiot.
You send me one text now.
Just one.
Hi there.
Hold it to the mic.
Oh.
Oh, just wait.
Just wait.
How annoying.
I stopped that because it would have gone on forever.
It's the whole length of the theme song to Austin Powers.
Austin Powers.
So I thought you were calling me the other day,
so I was running to try to find my phone, but it was a text.
Hello.
Yeah.
Da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da.
I've got to do something about that.
That's annoying as hell.
Da-da-da-da-da.
Yeah, I didn't change it.
Also, you know how you said I should have favourites?
Now all I've got is just you.
That hurts.
I didn't have anyone and you said, add me.
So I did.
Okay, I'm adding Coombs too.
Add Mitchell.
Add your goddamn mother.
Add your brother.
Add your father.
Okay, so DTI date night.
You can come if you want, Jenna.
Yeah, I'll bring Connie.
Oh, I went to an open house.
Oh, you did.
I hate that.
I went to an open house in your building.
Oh, really? Where Jenna lives. Are you going to move in?. I went to an open house in your building. Oh, really?
Where Jenna lives. Are you going to move in?
I'm going to have you on Find My, but you weren't there.
Where was she? Where was I?
You were in North Sydney or something. Probably where we are now. No, I think you were at one of the
properties your parents owned.
Because it was on the water. Well, they don't live
on the water. And you were moving very quickly, so clearly on a
jet ski.
I did see it was Lunar Park. You know, the Find My dot circling because she's on the Ferris wheel you're moving very quickly, so clearly on a jet ski. Imagine if she was at Lunar Park.
You know, to find my dot circling because she's on the Ferris wheel.
On the Big Dipper.
She's on the Magic Mouse.
I'm like, Jenna is having a seizure.
I know.
She's just on Coney Island looking at the wacky mirrors.
Can you move in?
It's a beautiful apartment.
Yeah.
Too expensive.
Oh, just try better.
Jenna's apartment, we've spoken about this on the pod before, Mitchell, but me and Mitch entered together and it was like,
you know that scene in Hogwarts, in Harry Potter,
where Pogrid or whatever his name is hits the bricks
and then Temur and Ali opens up and it's like all this magic.
We walk into Jenna's apartment and it's like Hogwarts, isn't it?
It's giving church and mental hospital at the same time.
Yeah.
Which is my vibe.
I like it.
The hallways are hospital corridors, but there's just something biblical about it.
Yes.
Yeah.
As well.
The elevators, because it's an old church.
They're confession booths.
The confession booths, they've taken all four walls and lined the walls of the elevator
with it.
You can see some scratches on there.
Oh, scratches.
Why would people scratch a confession booth?
I don't know.
Come here, priest.
Maybe they were anxious.
Well, you would be, wouldn't you? Yeah. I wonder what anyone would ever people scratch a confession booth? I don't know. Come here, priest. Maybe they were anxious. Well, you would be, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
I wonder what anyone would ever go to a confession booth for.
Like, are the priests obliged if someone goes,
I murdered someone, to pass that information on?
Did you used to have to go to them at school?
No.
Oh, we did.
Confession booth?
Yeah, so I'd make something up and I'd go,
oh, sorry for pushing my brother down the stairs.
And they'd be like, thank you for your confession.
And I'd be like, no problem.
And then they'd like do a little blessing on your forehead or some shit.
No, then you'd get what your punishment is, right?
Yeah.
You would.
Yeah, you have to like.
No, we didn't do any of that.
You have to pray three times or something.
What, they gave you homework?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck that.
Yeah, like do the Our Father five times or something like that.
Did they sit there and watch you do it?
No, no.
That was just your homework.
I never did it.
Of course not.
But I really liked it.
Would you like to do it now?
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Yeah, whatever.
Anyway, I really liked the bread that they gave out.
Yeah, it was crispy.
The onion bread.
You know, I didn't realize that Our Father was a prayer.
I thought it was a song that they sang on
Kath and Kim. Oh yeah, because it... You're
kidding. There's a scene. Hang on, I'll find it
for you, Mitch. In the 70s,
a nun in Australia became famous
for singing Our Father and it
became an international hit. Was it Danny Minogue?
Who says the sister?
Thanks.
I'm just going to find it. Hang on. I thought that was funny. Was it season
three, I think?
Yeah.
Yeah. It was 40th.
40th.
You say, yeah, as if you know what the fuck it is.
That was after Magda won the grand final in Ed Ball.
I love this scene so much.
So they're doing karaoke and this is Kath's song.
Hold on.
It's like a nut bush.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
I've got to watch the show.
This is funny.
And then imagine me, a little 10-year-old going to a Catholic school for the first time
and they start saying the lyrics out loud and I'm like, huh?
This is a real prayer.
That's so funny.
It's not just a Catholic night karaoke song.
Oh, Father, who art in heaven.
That's funny. Clearly, I wasn't that cafe night karaoke song. Oh, Father, who art in heaven. Fuck, that's funny.
Clearly I wasn't that in touch with Christ.
No, clearly not.
Mitch and I, we went to an event this week together,
but we didn't even realise we were both going.
I walked in and had the shock of my life.
I thought, Sandra Sully's here, but it was Mitchell Coons.
It was the RuPaul's Drag Race down under season four,
cast reveal, and I sat down at the table.
It was like a brunch.
Yeah.
And I saw next to me was Mitch and Grace.
And I was like, I can only assume that that's my Mitch and his Grace.
Yeah.
And I was like, they won't be coming.
Like at this time of day, they'll be at the radio station in the thick of it.
And then they turned up late.
But I was like, oh, my God, I already told someone that there's no way you're coming.
So they sat down.
They've been using your plate.
We're going to have to get clean cutlery.
I was just like, there's no way they're coming. Yeah. Thanks a lot.'ve been using your plate. We're going to have to get clean cutlery. I was just like, there's no way they're coming.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
Because then the steak tartare was served and I went to dig in
and my fork was missing.
Oh, no.
So I had to use the spoon from the girl sitting next to me from Cosmo Mag.
Like, excuse me, can I borrow your TV week?
I'm like, can I borrow your knife?
She's like, no worries.
But did you hear?
I had an ecademia.
I'm like, shut up about all that TV week stuff.
That was really fun.
That looks like a very, very good season.
I'm keen for that new season.
November 1st, I think.
Only on 10.
Yeah, only on 10, November 1st.
Not being paid.
We just happened to go to the event and it was fun.
They showed us a little sneak peek.
Michelle Visage in lieu of Rue.
I'm quite looking forward to it.
I actually am because she gets Australian drag culture.
When I've interviewed her a bunch of times and she has said she has been engrossed
since Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
She's been down under.
She's drugged.
Drugged.
She's judged drag nights at ARC.
She's been to Universal.
She's done them all, done the poof doofs.
Like she has been to Palms.
She gets it.
So I'm excited to see how she kind of makes it her own.
I know.
There's something unique about Aussie and New Zealand drag.
Yeah.
I think Hannah Connor pointed out because she was on stage at this event.
She said, we take what we do seriously, but we don't take ourselves seriously.
Whereas American drag queens do take themselves seriously.
Yeah.
So yeah, there's just a different attitude with these queens.
And obviously Michelle bloody froths that.
I think Rue was phoning it in a bit towards the end, wasn't he?
Yeah, I interviewed one of the queens and she was like, talking about green screen.
And she's like, yeah, like Rue was all last season.
I'm like, the rumours that he wasn't actually there.
That's not true.
I know. Definitely. Remember those rumours? They're like Rue was all last season. I'm like, the rumours that he wasn't actually there.
I know.
Definitely.
Remember those rumours?
They're like, Rue's not there.
Yeah, they're so funny.
All right, well, shall we go, guys?
Oh, yeah, we may as well.
We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
That's all.
So we do.
Yeah, I'm looking at him.
We're just sticking with 2%. I agree.
We're not doing 2.5.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I agree.
The decimal point is kind of, eh.
