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'd rather be dead than be called Gunkle.
Oh, that nickname for gay uncle.
Just because I'm gay doesn't mean you need to change the word.
Imagine if they were like, God, he's put on weight.
Funkles here, you fat uncle.
Now here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, you.
Hello, Mitchell.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
By the time this episode's out, Gaga's new single will have dropped.
Oh, what's it called?
Zika or something?
Ebola.
Forgotten, actually.
What is it called again?
Disease.
Disease.
Yes, I see what you were getting at.
Yeah.
But at the time of record, we haven't heard it yet.
It's so frustrating.
I want to comment on it.
Oh, okay.
Have you been given, this is the honest question,
have you been given a sneak peek?
Oh, should we ask Grace, my EP?
I meant you.
If you've not heard it, then the answer's no.
Well, if I haven't, no.
She would have shown me.
No, I don't think we haven't.
Can you check my emails?
Let me check.
Pricekeeper Jenna, our third wheel is here.
You work for an old people music radio station.
You wouldn't have heard the new single in advance, have you?
No, but we have started playing Bad Romance.
Is that now considered a classic hit?
Yeah.
That's hilarious.
I've got the press release for it, but I've got no song.
They wouldn't risk leaking a Gaga song like that.
They wouldn't send it out.
Yeah.
Why don't we do two reactions?
Okay. Reaction A send it out. Yeah. Why don't we do two reactions? Okay.
Reaction A is...
She's back.
Old Gaga.
Return to form.
Love it.
Mitchell, just hearing that song made me feel so good.
I've never felt anything like that.
It's for the gays.
It is.
And then option B.
It's not her best.
She's lost her way a bit, my Gaga.
It's okay.
Stephanie, what the fuck were you thinking?
Her and Katy Perry clearly had a meeting.
Do you reckon our voiceover guy, Bradley,
who also happens to masquerade as the music director for Kiss FM,
do you reckon he's heard it?
Oh, should we ask him?
Yeah.
Could you run and grab him?
Is he out there?
He's usually in the office.
I'll get Bradley.
Yeah.
Excuse me, Bradley. Right, he's going to get Bradley. Oh, that was quick him? Is he out there? Yeah. He's usually in the office. I'll get Bradley. Yeah. Excuse me, Bradley.
Right, he's going to get Bradley.
Oh, that was quick.
Found him.
Yeah.
He was having his lunch.
Oh, sorry, Bradley.
He was eating his lasagna.
Hello, Bradley.
Hi, Bradley.
Hello.
So, you know what?
This is kind of a bucket list moment.
Brad's our VO artist and we're doing our bucket list before we end the show.
Yeah.
Actually, while you're here, this isn't why I dragged you in, but we actually should thank Bradley because our listeners have heard your voice
just as much as ours every fucking episode.
Yes, they have.
Hi.
Hi, Bradley.
Give us a live is it just me or.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, is it just me?
That's me.
I love it.
That's really cool.
Oh, Brad.
Now, I wanted to actually ask, have you heard Gaga's new single in advance?
Well, interesting that you should ask.
No, I haven't.
And I usually would have done this close out.
But there's a reason why I haven't.
An Italian radio station leaked Die With A Smile.
Oh.
And so for this hugely important single from Lady Gaga,
her and her team are keeping it very close to their chest.
That's what I thought.
Yeah.
So fucking Lasagna FM ruined it for all of us.
Yeah.
Leaning Tower of Pizza, local breakfast show.
More like Leaning Tower of Piece of Shit, they are.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm just hoping to get it in enough advance time to be able to get it on air.
Yeah.
You know, at the embargo time.
What time is it?
It's 3 p.m. Australian Eastern Daylight Time.
Oh, fuck me.
That'll be your show, Mitch.
Yeah, I'll be able to play it at night.
Oh, you're debuting it.
Oh, that's on The Pickup.
The Pickup.
Yeah.
Yes.
The Pickup getting its first spin globally.
Will we do it first song of the show, do you think?
Yes.
Oh.
Oh, that's so exciting.
And I haven't heard it.
I've had to schedule it without hearing it.
I might have to listen to The Pickup for the first time.
Same.
A question for you for like the radio nerds or anyone who wonders.
Is.
Selecting music for a radio station, one of the most successful.
Not hearing the Gaga song.
Yes.
Do you put it in just because we've got a new Gaga song?
Yes.
Because it could be terrible.
Yeah.
No.
Well, there are very few artists that would get scheduled on Kiss without having heard the song at all.
Yeah.
You know, you could probably roll the dice on Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Pink.
I remember when I worked here, we were rushing to get The Archer by Taylor Swift on air when it first dropped.
And as it was going to air, we were kind of like, hmm.
It's not really a radio song, is it?
It's a great song, but not for radio.
It's not a pop hit.
So, look, all we've been able to read, lots of Gaga friends and news out there.
So, you know, we can gather that it's up-tempo.
It's supposed to be a pop record.
So, this song should at least have some energy and be poppy.
None of that Harlequin shit.
No.
You know who I think will be pissed off?
Who?
Ben Lee.
Catch My Disease.
And she's doing disease.
She's just ripping it off.
Yes.
Drop the catch my.
Catch my.
You've got Gaga.
My favourite memory with Bradley, this is like it's a eulogy and he's not with us.
I know.
We're all speaking.
Is when we had Beyonce's Renaissance drop and we wanted to do a whole album playthrough.
Yes.
And it was riddled with just swear words.
There were a few bombs of different sorts in it.
But we weren't provided a radio edit, which we often are.
So we had the album on air.
I think it was during my show where I said, you know, we'll have it on the hour at 8pm or whatever.
And we got it at, I think it was like 7.55, say.
Yes.
But we had to get our audio team to put it in their system and then remove this.
Oh, it was chaos.
We were making edits on the fly for a variety of tracks.
I think particularly the first song, I think, of the album.
There were N-bombs and F-bombs.
Yeah, it was a lot.
Yes.
Do you know what I find most interesting about Brad's job?
Not as the VO, but like he's so fucking conscientious about what's happening in the world.
Like, for example, what songs would have to get dropped if there was a bushfire? job, not as the VO, but he's so fucking conscientious about what's happening in the world.
For example, what songs would have to get dropped if there was a bushfire?
Well, yeah, we couldn't play Burn by Ellie Goulding.
That would have to come straight off.
We don't play We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel, but that would come off.
No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just Like Fire, Pink, out.
Oh, Just Like Fire.
Yes.
That's so true.
Yeah.
Yeah, you did play, however, I think, Breathe In when the Titan submersible blew up.
Yeah.
No, that was some.
Yeah.
Under Pressure was an interesting choice from you on that one.
Thank you, Bradley.
This is lovely.
Thank you.
Isn't it great?
Yes.
It's weird.
He just recorded VOs once, but he still feels like part of the family.
Oh, that's very sweet.
Well, you and Tony Lodge, who worked here years ago when we started this show,
and she wasn't anybody in the public space,
and she did our VO with Brad, and then now she's one of the biggest podcasters in the country.
She's become really famous.
The people are like, is that fucking Tony?
I'm surprised we haven't got a cease and desist from her
because if that was me, my ego would be like,
get it off that shitty podcast.
She's probably forgotten in all honesty.
Probably, yeah.
Thank you, Brad.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
No worries.
Thank you, Bradley.
Back to scheduling music.
Thank you.
So, disease, we have nothing.
We don't know.
Damn it. Nothing. Thank you. Oh,. Back to scheduling music. Thank you. So disease, we have nothing. We don't know. Damn it.
Nothing.
Thank you.
Oh, that was a nice unexpected bucket list moment.
But also, I knew Brad was itching to get back to his desk.
He's such a workabee.
Get back to his lunch.
Yeah, of course.
He was eating his lasagna from last night, the leftovers.
He's like, what if there's been an explosion?
I can't play boom, boom, clap.
Or is it boom, clap?
I think it's boom, clap.
I fucked it.
If there's a chemical spill toxic by Britney, that's gone.
That's off.
Imagine that.
Nuclear reactor.
Can't do that.
During the...
Oh.
No.
Never mind.
What?
Never mind.
It's inappropriate.
You want to say it?
I really do.
Say it.
Trump's attempted assassination.
I'll be riding shot.
See, now that's good.
That's fine.
That's good.
I thought it was going to be worse.
I was going to say Martin Place.
Anyway.
Yeah, no.
Moving on.
Welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every show we start the same with an Is It Just Me?
It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
I don't know Mitch's.
It's that straightforward, that easy.
It really is.
Do you want to kick things off?
Yeah.
You know what?
Because we're wrapping up, I'm not really adding idioms.
I'm going back into my catalog.
Oh, like detoxing. Yeah. I'm trying to cleanse out all the ones really adding idjams. I'm going back into my catalogue. Oh, like detoxing.
Yeah, I'm trying to cleanse out all the ones that I never got through.
Decluttering.
It's like junk.
These aren't Jenna's junk by any means.
No, no.
These won't put in my junk.
I've got a lot of options.
Do you want me to go and you can think about it?
Yeah, okay, go for it, yeah.
Okay, sure.
Bradley, come back.
Oh, we should have done that.
All right, pre-recorded Bradley.
Here we go.
What do you mean pre-recorded?
He's live with the orchestra.
He's live with the agent band, Bradley.
Is it just me or?
Do emails need to calm the fuck down?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
I'm sick of it.
It's really hard to stay on top of when there's all this unnecessary shit coming through all the time.
Sometimes my inbox gets up to like 400 unreads.
And then I'll do kind of like what you're doing with your idjams, a purge, a cleanse.
And I'll get down to like only one or two unread.
And then within two hours, it's up to 89 again.
Yeah.
Jesus.
And they're all so unnecessary.
Amazon.
Amazon are the worst culprit.
What do they say?
Really?
Like your order's arrived or it's on its way.
All that and more.
They'll be like, confirmed.
Your order's confirmed.
I'm like, I know.
I did it.
And they're like, your order's been dispatched.
Your order is coming.
Your order is there.
Yes.
Rate your order.
That's five emails for one fucking thing.
Yes.
It's the worst.
In the early days of Facebook, I had notifications on for everything.
So Jenna Benson liked your post. Where's an email?
I didn't need that in writing. I don't need that written for me, please.
Also, I hate how sassy Gmail is. I get an email and I'm going to rumiate on this for a little bit.
And then it's like, been a while, lazy fucker.
Want to reply? Time to reply.
I actually find that helpful. I'm a bit of a dumb fuck
and sometimes I'll type a reply and just forget to hit send.
Oh, me too.
You know what I actually love?
The Gmail function where, like, say, for example,
someone sent me an invite and then it's like,
hi, Mitch, we'd love to see you here.
And then I'll open the Gmail and I'll go, thanks,
and then in grey it'll go, I'd love to come along.
Cheers, Mitch.
Like, it just predicts what I'm going to say.
Yeah, I've never actually – I'm like, you don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
But I'm just sick of all the unnecessary follow-up emails just for one thing.
Like when I come to this studio and I pay for the parking,
because I do that all online now, it'll be like,
oh, we've sent you a one-time code to verify that you're able to use this fucking card.
Yes.
Go to your email.
And then when I do that, it'll be like,
was this you in a separate email?
If it wasn't, click here.
Yes.
I know.
I literally went to the emails especially to verify.
Now you're warning me again and then it'll be like,
confirmed, here's your receipt.
And then, reminder, your thing is about to expire.
You're parking and I'm like, can you just leave me the fuck alone?
I'm in charge here.
I know all these things have happened already.
Yeah, is it just me on the fly or do we not need security checks for basic websites?
If I'm going to my banking, sure, give me two-factor authentication.
Yeah.
But if I'm trying to get the Donut King app, I don't need code sent to my email to confirm my identity.
I don't need to do two captures.
I don't need to slide the puzzle piece.
I just want to get the cinnamon bundle.
But then actual important emails somehow get lost in junk.
Literal junk.
Literal junk.
Yes.
Somehow comes through to my main inbox and it's constantly going off.
And no wonder I've gotten in the habit of ignoring emails now.
Yes.
Because I'm like, it's probably useless.
Oh, yeah.
I'm the same.
The automatic important inbox that Gmail makes for me is not right.
Yeah, fuck that.
It's never accurate it's like no i
don't need to know the rebox sale is it's that it's having a sale you don't need to put that
in my important so i ordered an outfit for the uh wicked movie premiere oh it's the one you showed
us yes and i love it i'm getting constant updates not only from the website i got it but also dhl
the fucking couriers they sent me an email both, that said, your order is ready to be shipped.
I was like, why do I need that information?
And then, your order has been shipped.
And then another email, will someone be home authorized a fucking signature free delivery?
I'm like, can you get off my dick for five fucking seconds?
Totally.
You know what?
I didn't like emails, but I love sending an email.
There is something, Mitch, you brought it up on the show a few months ago.
Like, there's phone tasks and computer tasks. L jobs booking a holiday laptop job but if i'm going to ask someone if i want to get lunch it's a text but if i'm
going to like send talk about work i put that in writing in an email paper chain yeah yeah it seems
more official here's another one i'm just going through my inbox right now. Here you go.
I went and saw Titanic again last night. Oh, yeah, third time?
Third time.
You've seen more than I have and I told you about it.
Oh, so you've only seen it once in Sydney and once in New York?
Yes.
Yeah, I've overtaken you.
Oh, my God.
I've seen it twice.
How was the improv third time round?
Yeah, I was wondering, is it really improved?
But, yeah, it's different every time.
Anyway, I bought the tickets and I got three emails.
One of them was, your order is confirmed.
These aren't your tickets, written all caps.
I'm like, why?
Are you sending me an email to tell me I've bought tickets,
but you're withholding the tickets?
And then two minutes later, here are your tickets.
And then that afternoon, reminder, your upcoming trip to Titanic.
I was like, I know.
I did that.
Yeah, I know.
No, I'm telling you.
I'm with you on that.
Or like you get an email if you transfer someone money on your bank app, you'll get an email
being like, confirmation of transferring money.
I did it.
Yes.
I know.
You don't need to tell me.
Fucking leave me alone.
Yeah, I'm with you.
There was a medical emergency at Titanic last night.
Yeah, you did mention, but you didn't tell us what happened.
Yeah.
Oh, they had to stop the show.
How did they stop it though?
In character or?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We just heard this crash and a glass smashing. Oh, they had to stop the show. How did they stop it though? In character or? Yeah. We just heard this crash and a glass smashing.
Oh, wow.
You know, like the seats that are above the ground level.
What do they call them?
The stalls or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
We just heard a crash there.
We thought maybe it was the bar.
And then the chick playing Celine Dion goes, oh, everybody okay up there?
Saying in character, you okay?
And someone in the crowd goes, no, not really.
We have an issue. They
soldiered on and then all of a sudden the mics
got cut, the lights went out and then
the cast walked off stage and Celine goes,
okay everybody, what are we going to do? We're going to make sure that she's
okay and then we'll be back with you, alright?
And then after 10 minutes people were like,
have we got time to go to the tour?
And then after 15 minutes people were like, yeah, we probably
do. After 20 minutes,
30 minutes, we're like, what the fuck's going on?
Did anyone come?
Did an ambulance come?
Yes, eventually.
And there were people doing first aid, first response, whatever,
because this person just kind of was out of it.
They fainted.
It wasn't CPR or anything, was it?
No, it wasn't that point.
But I went to the bar to get another wine because I was like,
clearly I've got time.
Very you.
I know, right?
And the chick at the bar goes, oh, my God, I follow you on TikTok. I love you. And I said, fantastic. Very you. I know, right? And the chick at the bar goes, oh my God, I follow you on TikTok.
I love you.
And I said, fantastic.
Can you give me the ghost?
What's happened?
She goes, oh, a lady passed out.
Ambulance on the way.
Eventually they got the show back on the road.
But I thought, fuck me.
Is this the Mitchell Coombs curse playing up again?
There was a medical emergency when we went to Angelia as well.
Yes, when I was before.
Remember, we just heard.
Yeah.
But that's always up the performing. That's true. Remember, we just heard. Yeah. But they carried on.
It's always up the top.
It always is.
But imagine if me, as someone who's doing a one-night-only performance in Anjuliet, went,
what's going on up there?
Is everyone okay?
Just stop, Anjuliet.
Are you okay, everybody?
Are you okay, everybody?
Juliet, stop, please, for one second.
Get off the balcony.
Is everyone okay?
Sending you so much love.
But you know, all's well that ends well.
They assured us
that she was fine.
Celine Dion herself
assured us that she was fine.
Good, good, good.
Anyway, stop emailing me
everyone, please.
I agree.
I'm going for the third time
next week,
so we'll be even.
So then we're going to have,
yeah, I'm taking my mum.
I think she'll really like it.
She will.
It's the sort of,
I don't want to bang on about it,
but it's the sort of musical
that I felt the need
to personally take people
I know that hadn't seen it.
I was like, you must.
Yeah.
You must.
It's so funny.
So funny.
Titanic.
They've stopped paying us, by the way.
So this is all just because we love the show.
I know, but fuck me.
There's a sucker born every minute, isn't there?
Why are they paying us?
We're talking about it anyway.
I know.
Idiot.
As Helen Keller once said, this podcast is fucking dope.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
Now, coming up in episode 244, which is out on Wednesday,
you asked for it, you're fucking getting it, Nat Penfolds.
We'll be back at our guest host, our fourth wheel, I suppose.
And I think it's probably her fourth time maybe,
maybe fifth time on the show.
Who knows?
She's definitely the most frequently featured guest we've ever had.
She's our most frequented non-celeb guest.
She's just a friend of ours.
It's really funny.
And our idiots fucking love her.
They asked for her to come back.
It's on the bucket list.
One of the things we're doing before we end the show permanently.
I don't like her.
Where has that come from?
I don't know.
I just don't like her.
But maybe it's a good time to bury the hat shirt.
No.
Your call.
We're just trying to help you make amends.
So the reason that most people love the Nat Penfold episodes is because they're a bit unhinged.
Chaotic.
Every 30 seconds there's a different tangent.
Yeah.
You never know where it's going to go.
And our idiots are clearly wired the same way as us.
They keep up.
They love the chaos of it all.
She's brilliant.
And she's just gotten a big job.
She's the executive producer of the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
She runs that ship.
The biggest bloody radio show in the country.
100%. Yeah, yeah. So Nat Penfold
in a couple days. It's very exciting. Yes.
Before we move on, by the way,
I'll give you even more fucking time to think of your
region because I've got one. Yeah. Just going
back to our most recent episode. Remember how
I said, and I've always said that
I feel robbed as a man that I'll
never get to experience pregnancy and or childbirth.
Yes, you have said that.
I'm sure there were women listening going, mate, you really don't want it.
It's not fucking pretty.
And yet I feel robbed that I won't get to experience that.
It's impossible.
And we came up with the idea.
Let's get a fucking labor simulator.
I've got it.
Give it a whirl.
Yes, give it a whirl.
I love that we're using the remainder of our kiddio as we wrap up the show on just ridiculous
purchases.
This is actually a perfect example going back to my itch.
Do you know how many fucking emails from Amazon I got about this stupid little thing?
They would have.
It's actually a TENS machine, like a muscle stimulator.
Athletes use them.
Yeah, for like pain relief and shit.
And I guess it's as close as we can get to simulating a contraction.
like pain relief and shit.
And I guess it's as close as we can get to simulating a contraction.
Because if I put these little pads on my gunt and we fire this thing up,
it will contract the muscles in my belly, which is, I guess, similar.
Now, what level are you going to do?
Are you going to do it on high?
Huh?
Are you going to do it on a high level?
Because you can do low level, medium, high.
I think you should do high. It has to be high.
It starts small.
Oh, God, these sticky pads are foul.
So Mitchell's attaching these probes that are connected to sticky silicon pads onto
his, just near his belly button.
Yes.
His gunt.
Yes, my gunt.
Do you want to control it?
I was going to say yes.
Can I reach over?
So this is the plus and minus button.
For strength.
Yeah.
If I tell you to fucking stop, please promise me you'll stop.
You're putting a lot of power in my hands.
This is not unlike an electric chair.
Okay.
I don't know about an electric chair.
Here you go.
Can you reach it from there?
Yeah, here we go.
All right, I've got it.
From the other side of the room.
You're pulling my sticky pads off, mate.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Okay.
All right, so just the plus button?
Yeah.
Just press it once.
All right, here we go.
Jenna, you can see me here.
I've got the control.
Here we go.
Can you feel anything?
I've pressed plus.
Is it on number one?
Yes.
Yeah, well, you might have to crank it up a bit.
I can't feel anything.
It's like a small frog.
It's a bit of Braxton Hicks.
Oh, there we go.
I'm on level four.
I jumped up to four.
Oh, my God.
Can you give me some warning?
Yeah, sorry.
Okay, seven, seven.
Baby's coming.
What does it feel like?
Describe it.
It's just a weird tingling at the moment.
So I wouldn't even describe that as pain.
It's just odd.
Oh!
Okay, we jumped to 13.
Why would you do that to me? Is that too much? It's a bit much. All right. It's just odd. Okay, we jumped to 13. Why would you do that to me?
Is that too much? It's a bit much.
Alright. I'm clearly ready to push soon.
Because usually contractions have a little fucking
break between. Oh, can you stop? It's time to push.
Ow! Okay, we've gone straight to 30.
Stop it! Stop it! Really? Oh my god!
I've unplugged it! I've unplugged it!
I had to unplug it.
I unplugged it.
Okay, I felt it once.
Now I'm going to see if I can keep my cool through the pain.
Deep breaths.
At level 30.
30.
Not 30.
That was 30.
Ease into it.
Don't put it on 30.
I swear to God I'll knock you out.
Really?
Yeah.
Was it that bad?
It was just a shock.
You just cranked it up out of nowhere, which is fucking cruel.
All right, now you're back to zero and you're going to try and be calm and composed.
And you tell me what level we're up to.
All right. We're at one.
Breathe through it.
Two.
Okay. Don't. We don't have to go one to 30.
Let's go to five.
No.
Nothing. All right. We'll go straight to 10.
Oh. Okay. We right, we'll go straight to 10. Oh.
Okay, we're at 10 now.
Don't lie.
That's not 10.
It's 20.
Oh, my God.
Okay, we're going to just go in increments of one from 20.
Breathe.
Baby's coming.
You're doing so well, Mama.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Ow.
Oh, that's fucked up. Is it bad? Yeah. off. Ow. Oh, that's fucked up.
Is it bad?
Yeah.
Let me try.
Let me try.
You can control me.
I'll take the sticky pads off.
Yeah, throw them across the room.
Ow!
Oh, sorry.
Why did you do that?
Sorry, I plugged it in and it was stuck at 30.
I was peeling the pads off my gun and you zapped my fingers.
You just gave finger birth.
Ow!
Sorry, that was an accident.
Okay, so these pads are really sticky, so I'm sorry if there's like a belly button fucking
snail trail hair on there.
No, that's fine.
Oh my God, it feels really weird after taking it off.
It's still...
The baby's arrived.
I'm in recovery.
I've got a lot more visceral fat than you do, so I do wonder how this will...
Maybe I'll have to crank it up to 600 before it even breaks the surface.
All right, here we go. Don't be dumb. I won't, I will- Maybe I'll have to crank it up to 600 before it even breaks the surface. All right. Here we go.
Don't be dumb.
I won't.
I won't.
I won't.
But one, you feel nothing.
So I'm just going to, you know-
Okay.
Hold on.
Quick game's a good game.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Three.
You're already struggling.
No, I'm not.
You're right.
You need to adjust because it's a weird sensation.
Yeah.
Breathe through it.
Have you adjusted?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll go up to seven.
How's that?
Not bad.
Jesus Christ. How's that? Not bad. Jesus Christ.
How's that?
Painful.
Already?
No, it's not painful.
It's just my tummy is doing like, it's like it's dancing.
That's the baby kicker.
Baby Jeremiah.
That's your uterus contracting.
Go to 30.
No.
No, go to 30.
Surely you don't want to jump to 30 straight away.
I'm sweating.
Yeah, I need to go to 30.
Oh, God, I'm ready.
Go to 50.
Ah!
Get off!
I only got to 24. Oh, God, I'm worried. Go to 50. Ah! Get off! I only got to 24.
I ripped them off.
Don't touch them.
They're still on.
Where's the other ones?
I think it's on my crotch.
Jenna, do you want to try?
No.
No?
No.
That's horrific.
Well, I'm glad I did that, I guess.
Can we stick to what we know, which is, is it just me's?
That was a lot.
Are you still feeling it, though, in your stomach?
It's weird, isn't it?
It could just be my RBS.
I'm not sure.
Two babies.
Are you ready to move on?
Yeah, I'm ready to move on.
Because I'm still a bit funny.
No, I'm all right.
I got up to 30, dog.
You're only on 24.
I'm ready.
I'm ready to move on.
I'm fine.
I feel all right.
So this is meant to be pain relief. I don't think you're meant to turn it up that much. No. You're only on 24. I'm ready. I'm ready to move on. I'm fine. I feel all right. So this is meant to be pain relief.
I don't think you're meant to turn it up that much.
No.
No.
Thanks for that.
All right.
Shall we go, my agent?
Yep.
All right, Bradley.
Come on back in.
Is it just me or?
Is it too soon to be seeing Christmas stuff?
Absolutely.
Yes.
Fuck.
You sound like a boomer on Facebook now.
I do. I do. But there's Christmas stuff everywhere. You go to Coles and all of a sudden it's Christmas chocolate.
You go to Woolies. There's the Christmas bunting. There's the Christmas party poppers. We're not
even through October. We should be focusing on Halloween. Then we should happily move into
Christmas. I, for one, am ready for the year to be over. So maybe everyone's kind of in the same
boat. They're like, oh, there's Christmas stuff.
That means that we don't have long to go.
I agree.
The truth is, we do.
Like I, for example, was in Dusk the other day.
Look at this.
Look at the current commercial for Dusk.
Look at the most recent reel they're doing for Dusk,
which is just candles.
What's the most recent one?
So this is Christmas.
I mean, Duskmas.
Duskmas.
And Zernet, she's here.
I was actually meant to go to that launch event today.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I'm not going to have time.
I haven't seen any candles so far.
It's not candles.
Also, Dusk normally does a big Halloween rite.
Yeah, they do.
They're focused on Christmas each year.
Oh, yeah, they skipped Halloween.
You've missed the point.
Yeah.
I'm in the commercial.
Are you?
I'm in it.
Surprise. Where are you? You missed it. You went to the I'm in the commercial. Are you? I'm in it. Surprise.
Where are you?
You missed it.
You went to the Pagan's Kitchen.
Where are you?
Uncle Tony Bouncy.
Oh, that was you.
I'm Uncle Tony.
I didn't even notice that that was you.
...game this year.
Welcome to a festive gathering so bright of merry mischief-makers,
gritting and delight.
You're acting because you're like too sensitive.
Except of course I'm 17.
When the fuck did you film this?
I didn't have time.
I don't really know.
Was it that long ago?
No, it was like a month ago.
I did it.
It was a two-day shoot.
Two days for that?
And if you go into Dusk stores now,
there are posters of my face dressed as an uncle
in every Dusk store.
Oh, that's cool.
There's a billboard in the middle of Sydney
with my face on it.
Really?
And I'm on trams for the next month around the country.
I haven't seen these.
Have you got a photo of a train or something?
I haven't seen one yet.
Okay, well, I catch the tram regularly.
I'm on the tram.
Well, if that ad came out today, maybe they're starting the launch?
Yeah.
The launch started today as we go to bed.
Okay, so we'll start seeing the billboards and shit pop up.
Yeah.
I'll keep an eye out.
Isn't that stupid?
So the whole point is there's a gift for everyone at Dusk, like your crazy uncle, your beautiful
auntie, your wacky nana.
And then so if you go to Dusk stores, there's like a whole wacky uncle section
and then this photo of me.
And a photo of you.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
I love that.
Ridiculous.
I also heard you say before, I'm not an uncle.
Yes, you fucking are.
Do you need reminding?
Sorry, I actually forgot.
So yeah, I'm a Duskness boy.
So you don't believe it's too soon.
You're like, my face out there?
The longer the better. I just wanted
to surprise you with it because I didn't tell you guys
and I also didn't want to like, I didn't have
any way to bring it in. Like, is it just me or I'm a model?
I wouldn't say model.
You're the wacky uncle for fuck's sake.
There's stills. Yeah, no, get this.
So I go to the shoot, right, a couple months ago
and the whole point is all the family at
Christmas. So there's a teenager role.
Anyway, I turn up, and I'm like the uncle, right?
And I go up, and I go, oh, are we brothers?
Like, is this what we are?
We're brothers?
And he goes, no, you're my dad.
How old was the guy?
19.
Fuck.
19.
No.
I was the uncle.
Okay.
I don't know what it is about that ad as well, but you somehow look younger than you do currently.
I'm having a bad day.
The clothes they gave you looked very youthful.
Yeah, I was in like a Santa outfit and red Crocs.
I don't know.
It didn't look uncle-y.
Oh, really?
Okay.
How the fuck do you dress as an uncle?
I'm an uncle.
I know.
So am I.
You just have to kind of be dorky, I think.
I was just being dorky, pouring things.
They're like, that'll do.
Hired. Anyway, go to Dusk and get a photo if you things. They're like, that'll do. Hired.
Anyway, go to Dusk and get a photo if you want, guys.
Yeah, we'll share that.
We'll share that out in the group as well.
But yeah, that's a good idea.
Get a photo with Cheery's fucking, is there like a cutout or something?
Yeah, there is.
And if you see the billboard, they're apparently all over Australia.
It's like the family photo at Christmas.
They're putting them like everywhere.
So find it and snap a photo.
How cute.
Yeah, very fun.
All right, shall we go? No. We've got the, is it just you? Like, everywhere. So find it and snap a photo. How cute. Cool. Yeah. Very fun. That's cool.
All right.
Shall we go?
No.
We've got the Is It Just You.
Should we?
Yeah.
We do an Is It Just You call every Monday.
Was I organising that?
You normally do.
Just a joke.
It's Wacky Uncle.
I've got one.
Shall we call her?
Who is she?
Nicole.
We're doing Nicole.
Gorgeous.
Yeah.
Nicole's in South Sydney.
That's vague. South Sydney. Well, I thought we could say she's from South Sydney, then we can ask're doing Nicole. Gorgeous. Yeah, Nicole's in South Sydney. That's vague. South Sydney.
Well, I thought we could say she's from South Sydney, then we can ask her when we talk to her. Yeah, right.
Nicole, you know.
Hello? Hello. Nicole!
Is that Nicole? Hello. Hi. Hi, Chook.
How's it going? It's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna here.
Good. How are you guys? All the better
for hearing your gorgeous voice, Barb. Whereabouts
in South Sydney are you?
No, I'm in Queensland, actually.
Yeah, I didn't ask, actually, so I kind of just made up.
Yeah, I made it up.
You did South Sydney.
You did it so confidently.
I made it up and then Mitch doubled down.
I knew this was going to happen.
I was terrified.
You knew that that was going to come unstuck at some point.
Yeah, no, I knew.
I deeply knew and I made a mistake and I got up to it.
So you're in Queensland, also vague.
Whereabouts?
I am.
I'm in Sunshine Coast.
Oh, nice.
To me, that's vague as well'm in Sunshine Coast. Oh, nice.
To me, that's vague as well.
The Sunshine Coast is like the whole thing, right?
It's like saying Central Coast.
It's like an hour from Brisbane.
Oh, nice.
What do you do for work?
I work at Woolworths.
I'm a deli manager.
Oh, deli manager.
Pavea Refined Meat.
Yes, yes.
Yes, I'm the lead ham slice person, you know.
Oh, nice. Do you do it extra thin ham slice person, you know. Oh, nice.
Do you do it extra thin?
Well, if you ask for it, sure.
Oh, you know, that was my boyfriend, Stephen. When I met him, he was at the Coles Deli.
Really?
Oh, cute.
Yeah, and when we had our first date or second date,
he made a whole cheese board and he hand-carved all the meat.
Wow.
It was really sweet.
Oh, my God, I love that.
I know, and he came an hour because I was house-sitting in Bondi
and he brought it all in an Esky.
It was actually so sweet. Yeah, I know. Very cute. I love that. I know when he came an hour because I was house-sitting in Bondi and he brought it all in an Esky. It was actually so sweet.
Yeah, I know.
Very cute.
I love that.
I have very fond memories of going to Woolworths with mum
when I was very little.
And the chick behind the counter at the deli would always give kids like,
what do you call it, the little frankfits, footy franks.
Yes, yeah.
Shall I hear you go with a little serviette?
Do you still do that?
Yes.
For free?
Yes, I do.
It's so cute.
Oh, that's cute.
That's sweet. But sometimes you can tell that the Yes. For free? Yes, I do. It's so cute. Oh, that's cute.
Sometimes you can tell that the mums are asking for themselves.
Their kids are too young to eat food and you're like, is that for your kid?
Are you big for your age?
It's for kids.
Are you allowed to eat those frankfurts not boiled?
Yeah, of course you can.
I don't think they'd be raw.
They'd be cooked, just cold.
They're cooked, but then you just have to reheat them. What an Aussie rite of passage, just boiling.
Because my mum used to just boil them over in a pot
and then serve them at a pool party.
Yeah.
And I still can taste a Frankfurt hot but mixed with pool chlorine
because I've just got out of the pool.
My fingers are dripping wet and I eat them and it's like chlorine and salt.
Sunscreen.
Sunscreen.
Oh, so gross.
I love that.
Well, what's your idiom?
Are you ready for Bradley to count you in?
Yes.
Yes, I am. I love that. Well, what's your idiom? Are you ready for Bradley to count you in? Yes. Yes, I am.
Go for it, Bradley.
Is it just me or?
Are people who don't research a bit before asking someone out in public just psychopaths?
Oh.
Has this happened to you?
Has someone hit you up at the deli dog?
Yes.
So this is actually a story that had happened to me maybe like a month ago.
This customer tried to hit on me.
I was just, you know, normal customer service, like, how are you going?
What's for dinner?
Blah, blah, blah.
And then I get hit with the, what time are you coming over for dinner?
And I just kind of like awkwardly laughed it off, like pretending like I didn't hear it because I was like, oh, I know.
That's a weird line to drop on someone you've just met.
Like never even met before in my life.
Like never seen him before.
Not that it's that important, but just for the theater of the mind, what's your uniform
at the deli?
Is there a hairnet?
Yes.
So I wear a cap and a hairnet.
And you wanted to rip that thing off.
Yeah.
I'm hard.
Yeah.
And I was just like normal, like serving it up and I'm probably rambling. I'm sorry. I'm so nervous. No, no, no. I'm hard. It was weird. Yeah, and I was just like normal, like serving it up.
And I'm probably rambling.
I'm sorry.
I'm so nervous.
No, no, no.
You're doing great.
I'm trying to picture it.
I'm in for all.
Was it a guy?
Yeah, so he was probably like in his 30s, I'd say.
Did he take a number?
Like, did he line up?
No, I don't do that anymore, unfortunately.
Instantly, do you think, hey, this guy wants meat or this guy wants meat, if you know what I mean?
Did he seem sleazy?
No, like he just seemed normal at the start and he just seemed like, you know, like real
chatty and stuff.
But then he started dropping in lines like, what time are you coming over or when do you
finish work?
And then I was just like, that's weird.
But he didn't once like try to find out if I had a boyfriend first or if I was-
Are you even single?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
So I've been in a relationship for like seven years shit it was just like awkward and so I just ignored him and like I'm the most
awkward person in the whole world so I second behind me I would have you know you're doing
pretty well I immediately started getting loud and I start rambling and like my hands were shaking
so I was like oh my god is going to go south real quick.
So then he wanted something else and he asked again.
He was like, so, like, when are you coming over?
And I awkwardly just shouted, um, never, and then started laughing.
Oh, no.
I mean, you shut it down quick.
There's no mincing your words there.
Oh, fuck, get fucked.
That was good.
That was good. It was so awkward because, like, my three colleagues just stared at me like, what the
hell just happened?
Because all the customers were now staring at this guy who's gone bright red and I've
gone red.
So it wasn't like a funny, oh, yeah, just banter.
He was actually offended.
Cut by it.
Yeah, I think so.
Oh, fuck the dog.
That's on him.
Yeah.
You were putting that awkward spot. It's not your job
to then make it a natural interaction. Yeah, and then so I was like thinking
like, would a normal person not try to like ask
questions like, do you have plans on the weekend or do you have plans after work?
He did seem to skip a few steps. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And I was just like, that's so weird.
And this is the first time you've steps. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And I was just like, that's so weird to me. And this is the first time you've ever seen him?
Yeah, ever.
Like, ever.
That's weird.
That's odd.
And I've never seen him again.
But it was, like, weird because he was, like, carrying a skateboard in a trolley and he
didn't have a shirt on.
And I was like, that's a bit odd.
Oh, you really should have led with that.
My mental image is completely different.
So is mine.
What a creep.
Yeah.
Because it's, like, Sunshine Coast. I'm like, you know, he's probably just at the beach.
Out for a surf.
The no-no is normal.
Oh, right, of course.
I forgot to factor that in.
You should have given him a little Frankfurt wiener to shut him up and gone, there you
go.
See ya.
Have you been a good boy?
Eat your footy fricking fuck off.
Oh, well, good idea, Jim.
See, no need to be anxious.
That was great.
Yeah, I'm so sorry for rambling, though.
No, no, no.
We didn't ramble.
This is the podcast for ramblers.
Message Jenna.
Literally.
Ramble on.
Messenger of the group, and we'll send you out a totally tote bag.
One of the last ever to be produced is coming your way.
I am so excited for that, not going to lie.
I get bragging rights forever that I get a special tote bag.
Totally.
You get to pay for it or anything.
And you've earned it.
Thanks for coming on, darling.
Love you.
Thanks, honey.
We love you.
Thank you so much.

Send us a text.
All right, now should we go?
One more thing.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
I've just gone to the trouble of tracking down this video.
That whole story that she was telling just then, Nicole,
it reminded me of that awkward moment on Nine News in Melbourne.
You know how Tony Jones and Rebecca Judd always had awkward interactions?
Oh, yeah, always.
She was the weather girl and he was just trying to, like, banter with her
and she just shut him down in the same way that Nicole did to that shirtless skater.
And showered too at 19 Friday.
But, Tony, the good news is nice and sunny for the weekend.
You should come round for a barbie.
No, thanks.
No, thanks.
Okay, that's all our news from now.
That was creepy from him.
Why is your default, you should come round for a barbie?
I think that they were trying to do that,
oh, we're a big happy family on the news.
We all hang out and get along so well.
Oh, you should come round for a barbie.
Like a family thing.
Okay, wait, I've got one to throw in. Can you please do
this? Search Little Ashes.
Oh, yes. Little Ashes
News. Nine News maybe? Ten News Adelaide.
Yes, I know this one. Just play it.
This is good. It's so good.
I'm sure not every one of our listeners
is a huge cricket fan.
So, for context, the Ashes is like a tiny
little urn. Yep. Tiny.
It's got ashes of some famous fucking stumps or something.
I don't know.
Yeah.
One of the first famous cricket games in Australia,
they burnt the wicket and the stumps and they put it in this little bottle
and they play and that's the trophy that you win.
And it's literally the size of, I don't know, a paw paw.
Yeah, it is.
I was just looking around.
What's in my eyesight?
No, it is.
Yeah, it is like a car key.
It's the blooper.
And England skipper Andrew Strauss arrived in London
proudly showing off the little urn.
I'll spend four days at home before flying out for the World Cup.
And Belinda, I just can't understand how something so small
can be so impressive.
Well, Mark, you would know about that.
Thank you very much.
Weather's next with Jane Riley.
See, that was an example of two co-hosts that actually do get along.
Yes.
Unlike the other ones because she said later, Belinda Hagan, she was like, I forgot we were on air.
Like, that's just how we roast each other in real life.
And I said that on air and I went, oh, shit.
That's so funny.
I think that's my favourite one.
So funny.
Now we can go.
Now we can go.
Goodbye, everybody.
I think it's something to be at.
No, I know.
No, I don't.
No.
You've got to go to my dusk event if you want to go.
No, I reckon I'm going to miss it.
I won't get there in time.
They sent me a bunch of candles, actually, if you guys want any.
Oh, really?
That's low-key why I would have been going.
Then I can give you some.
You've got a bunch.
Yes, please.
They sent me everything.
Yay.
Thanks for that.
I am Awkward Uncle, so I'll get them to you in due time.
Catch you back on Wednesday, you idiot.
Bye-bye.
Yes, see you then with that penfold.
Yes, she'll be here.
See you.
Ta-da.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We pretend the show is done, but it is not.
Correct.
We keep talking shit for a little bit.
Nothing's planned.
Nothing's lined up.
We haven't got bloody callers ready to go.
We haven't pre-thought an engine.
We just talk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And who knows what's going to happen.
Mitchell, we all have like a video like we just played.
I'm going to get you to play one more, but I'm sorry.
This week on The Night Show, my radio show, we played it on air for some reason and we were all like, it just made us laugh so
much and it's so stupid. I know this one. I was showing all of our producers and we couldn't
stop laughing. It's ridiculous. It's a group of scientists that found a mummified coffin in Egypt
and they put him through an MRI scanner and they like recreated the mummy's throat
so then they're like well we have what the mummy's throat looked like so let's use AI
to try to work out what his speaking voice would sound like oh god and we've established quite
clearly on this show how reliable AI is with that shit yeah so please if you were to search um
mummy voice mummy voice yeah mummy voice And then show me the search results.
See, that just makes me think of
ah, ah, ah, cut it out.
No.
Like a mummy voice.
No, no, no.
Show me the videos.
Is it only 12 seconds?
Yes, yeah.
Okay, all right.
Oh, this is incredible.
Scientists were able to mimic Nessie Amun's voice
by recreating his mouth and vocal cords
with a 3D printer.
It allowed them to produce a single sound.
Oh!
Boom!
What?
That's so good.
Of all the options, they could have made him say a sentence, but his word was boom!
Hang on, I'm going to play that again.
Because it sounded more like he was saying yes.
Or do you think it's a no i think it sounds
like move a single sound it's just going yeah sounds like me and oscar
the best part is and i think it's so stupid but the best part is um he's probably like a sweet
egyptian man yeah like are you sure that this is not an edited video where they've put a different sound in?
Or is that actually what it was?
It's real.
It's from the newscast.
It's maybe a meme, like that Taylor Swift screaming goat thing.
No.
It's from the newscast.
Sounds pained.
Like the poor guy.
You know what we should do?
What?
Not right now, but I'll edit it in.
Yeah.
Instead of the screaming goat in Taylor Swift, it's,
Now we're lying on the cold hard ground. No! Yeah. Yeah. Instead of the screaming goat in Taylor Swift, it's, Now we're lying on the cold, hard ground.
Ah!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, please.
I'll do it.
That'd be great.
That'd be great.
Now we're lying on the cold, hard ground.
Oh!
Oh!
And now pretend that I played it live in the studio
and react and tell me how wonderful it was.
Oh!
Oh!
What a remix.
Oh, my God.
Mitchell, your editing prowess is powerful. Oh, no, I still got it. Oh, my God. Mitchell, your editing prowess is powerful.
Oh, no, I've still got it.
Oh, that's amazing.
I remember listening to that and reacting live like I did with Gaga's disease.
Sometimes I wish I did have your job on the radio so I could actually react live to fucking things.
Because, like, I want to be able to talk about the Gaga thing.
Except it's bad when you pre-record some shows.
We pre-recorded a show.
We didn't pre-record.
I used to do a weekend show, and we recorded it on Friday. Anyway, we did a whole show you pre-record some shows. We pre-recorded a show. We didn't pre-record. I used to do a weekend show and we recorded it on Friday. Anyway, we did a
whole show, pre-recorded it. Great show.
We wake up. Shane Warner's died.
We did a phone topic.
Have you had a party as wild as
Shane Warner's parties? How? Why were you
talking about that? What are the odds? We had no idea. He wasn't
sick or anything. He just passed away.
And we had to run in. Just a coincidence.
Run from the Shire. Drive in. And no, we did.
We came back in and did a show and the same thing happened when Queen Elizabeth died. Same thing.
Oh, fuck. Because people were turning to the pickup for their hard-hitting
news read Queen Elizabeth. No, just the radio in general.
Yeah, so that's where I'm at. I did Google the other day, what happens if
Australia war?
Because if Australia goes to war, Mitchell, I thankfully am a broadcaster,
so I would stay in the country to broadcast.
But I do fear for you, there were no limitations on what your creators would do.
My creators?
No, your creator types.
Oh, right.
I feel like you'd be conscripted because if you're a tradie. Oh, you reckon they're going to recruit me?
That's what I'm worried about.
I'm worried about you.
Or they could use you as propaganda.
Propaganda?
Yeah.
This is what the world will turn to.
What do you mean?
Like they're going to use me to spread information?
Yes.
Oh.
Yes.
Oh.
Where there's a till, there's a way.
That's right.
Mitch's fees are very reasonable.
Yeah.
Also, you think that the Russians are going to buy a sponsored video from Mitchell to
influence people?
Yeah.
I would even do it.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Use my code Mitchell12 to buy your nukes.
Hi, guys.
It's been Mitchell here.
Hi, guys.
Russia have just sent me their latest long drop.
So good.
Hyperpigmented.
They're gorgeous.
Mitch Coombs has just posted.
What is it?
Mitch Coombs and official Russia have What is it? Mitch Coombs and
official Russia have posted, collaborated on a post.
I collaborated on a post.
Mitchell Coombs and Vladimir Putin are live.
I can't wait to hear what they have to say.
Oh my god.
But if you have a health ailment, you can get
out of it. I genuinely googled it.
I've just given birth. Surely that'll get me out of it.
True, you're right. I've got flat
feet. You what? I've got flat feet and a
brain condition, so I'm great. Flat feet? Yeah. If you it. True, you're right. I've got flat feet. You what? I've got flat feet and a brain condition, so I'm great.
Flat feet?
Yeah.
If you have flat feet, you can't.
But what do you mean flat feet?
My feet are flat.
I need you to elaborate more than that.
So your soles don't go like that, Ed?
Well, they're mildly flat.
I just don't want to go to war, Jenna.
Well, that's actually so valid.
I've got mild flat feet, but Rachel, my sister.
You just said fat feet.
Not a lie. I've got mild fat feet. but Rachel, my sister. You just said fat feet. Not a lie.
I've got mild fat feet.
No, you know what?
Since losing so much weight, I've dropped a shoe size.
Really?
Yeah.
Do you know what?
I did too, actually.
It never occurred to me.
I thought maybe I was wearing the wrong size.
Nope.
Mitchell, you did too.
I put on my, because I lost weight in winter, came back to summer, and I'm like, I'll put
my Yeezy slides on, right?
These things were tight before.
They're loose now.
Wow.
Must have just been visceral fat around my little fastitzis.
Yeah.
It never occurred to me.
I thought that it was just like, you know how one shirt is a medium, another shirt's
a medium, but they're completely fucking different.
I just thought it was the shoe.
I was like, oh, for some reason I fit an eight now.
Never occurred to me.
Who organises sizing?
It's on the fly.
There needs to be a universal group.
They need to jump on a Zoom and fucking sort it out.
I'm with you.
Seriously.
In Japan, you know when Excel is an Australian small?
In Japan, they're so fatphobic.
They're like, you're an Excel and you're a small.
That's why I hate buying things online because I have to Google, are we EU?
Are we US?
I need a chart with a conversion.
And then I'll get a fucking email.
Oh, yeah.
Multiple.
I got Amazon Prime.
Thought of you straight away.
Have you not had it this whole time? No.
Really? Yeah, I never had it. What do you mean?
I just didn't use it, I didn't buy anything, but now I do.
Now I have it, I want to make the most of it.
And do you watch Prime and stuff?
Is that the same?
If you have a Prime membership, it's everything
under their umbrella, yeah.
Get out! Apart from the cat cam, which I
had to pay extra. I was like, I'm already
subscribed to your shit, Amazon. Oh, I get you. Wait, so Amazon Prime, the cat cam, which I had to pay extra. I was like, I'm already subscribed to your shit, Amazon.
Oh, I get you.
Wait, so Amazon Prime, the streaming service, is also the Amazon Prime same-day delivery?
Yeah.
Yeah, you can't get one without the other.
It's both.
But I'm paying for Amazon TV.
So you've had Prime the whole time.
But then I just subscribed to Prime on Amazon.
So you've got two.
So I'm paying twice.
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, I'm an idiot.
That's been well established, yeah.
I need to call someone.
I could be wrong.
I'm pretty sure, though.
No, it is.
It's all in one, Amazon.
I want to check now because it will just-
And then you can get Amazon Music.
Yes.
They keep bugging me, emailing me about wanting to add that.
Oh, does that cost extra?
I think if you want premium, it does, but you can get the basics.
Shit, ads really chip away at me.
I'm this close to getting YouTube Red, whatever it's called, YouTube Plus.
Platinum.
Oh, I'm sorry, but once you've got it, you can't go down.
It's true.
Yeah.
I do too.
What do you use it for?
Tell me.
Just no ads.
Yeah, but it's also-
And also you can minimize a video on your phone as you're watching it and reply to a
text or something.
That's incredible.
And I pay for it and I have a family text or something that's incredible and i pay for
it and i have a family and i've given like five friends access and they're like oh my god this is
life-changing having youtube without ads and whatnot and so that's kind of my thing because
i leech off all of their stands their networks and what have you um so yeah that's my deed oh
well i can trade you i get free streaming so add me to your family and I'll give you, you know.
I max out.
Shit.
I've got five kids as it is.
I need Stan.
I've got Stan, deal.
But what can I get from you?
Give me an egg.
I want kids within a couple of years.
Okay, deal.
All right, deal.
Do either of you have binge?
Yep.
I'm sick of paying for that.
Give it.
I'll give you my binge.
I've got binge.
I'll give you my pack on Amazon that you can add families to that.
No, no, no.
I pay now on Amazon.
You always have.
I know.
I've got a nice pack.
What do I even Google?
What for?
If you pay for Amazon Prime Video, do you get Amazon Prime?
It definitely is.
I thought so.
Included.
As an Amazon Prime member, you will have access to a suite of benefits,
free delivery on millions of things and international prime eligible, prime video.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've had both this whole time.
I'm an idiot.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Also, did I tell you that I was paying for Stan, right?
Bought Stan.
And then years ago when I started on radio, they sponsored my show and I got like a free
Stan account.
And then the sponsorship ended.
And that was with my work email address.
I'm like, all right, back to my personal.
So I kick back into my personal.
Oh, fuck. don't tell me.
I've been paying for Stan for six years.
Get this.
I also gave it to my ex's stepdad because he wanted to watch sport, right?
What I didn't realize.
Oh, it's additional.
It's additional.
So what he has done is I gave him my login.
I just assumed he could watch.
He clicked opt in, right?
He had added $7 extra to my monthly bill for six,
oh no, for the length of the relationship.
The relationship.
So five years.
Yep.
Then we broke up and we've been,
we've broken up for a year and a half.
I've still been paying.
And it wasn't until the other day when I got another Stan sponsorship,
they said, hey Mitch, like, you know, with your free account,
you've already got one.
I'm like, oh no, that ended six years ago. They said, no, Mitch, like, you know, with your free account, you've already got one. I'm like, oh, no, that ended six years ago.
They said, no, no, that's been active for six years.
So I've had free Stan.
And to add salt in the wound, it's for sport.
I know.
Oh, that's unacceptable.
So I've been paying like $17 a month plus seven.
No.
Fucking hell.
It really pissed me off.
So I cancelled it.
You should invoice him.
Makes his dad trying to watch the ashes.
I can't.
I saw him the other day.
Not the dad, the ex.
Oh, where?
At a club.
How was it, warm?
Huh?
How was the club temperature?
The club, yeah, I was going to say.
I was sweating a bit.
It's very pleasant interaction.
He gave me a hug and said, congratulations on five years of itchim.
Oh, wow.
You missed me, keeping up with the show.
Yeah.
How drunk were you?
Not very.
My hangover the next day would disagree, but I was fine.
I can only imagine.
All right.
Well, on that sour, bitter note, shall we leave?
Well, it's not that sour and bitter.
