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. Yeah, no one says the word turn as an adult. You know how kids would be like, can I have a turn?

You don't say that shit as an adult. Can I have a turn in your car? I want a turn. No! It's my turn. Now is Mitch Julie and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you. Hello you. Oh, you've glowed up for some reason. Have I? You're in a business shirt. You've got a fake tan. You look like a real estate agent from West Florida. Do you reckon the tan's held? I got this done for the Wicked movie premiere. Oh, this is

your Glinda tan. And do you like my new Wicked nails? The new shade that isn't baby poo green? Uh-huh, yeah, that's definitely Emerald City. I'm glad you noticed the shirt because I stole it from Sean. Oh, really? Because I look smart for once. No, it's just not your vibe. It's like a business shirt.

It's nice. Yeah, and of course, sweaty pits. Oh, no. That's why I don't wear these sorts of fucking business shirts. They do suit you, though. You reckon? Yeah, it does suit you. That colour is really nice on you.

It's like a grey, dark blue. Yeah. Can I give a shout out to one of our idiots, Christopher, I think his name was. Actually, a few of our idiots sent me this because I've been bitching about the sweaty underarms. Apparently, if you get like a referral from your GP to Sydney Sweat Clinic or something, you can get Botox under the armpits and it's like Medicare repaid and you're only a little bit out of pocket. So, I've got the letter. I haven't booked it yet, but oh, that's going to be a godsend. You're going to You can get Botox under the armpits and it's like Medicare repaid and you're only a little bit out of pocket.

So I've got the letter. I haven't booked it yet, but oh, that's going to be a godsend. You're going to get armpit Botox? 100%. Get out. It's such an inconvenience because I get sweaty pits in winter. Yeah. This summer's going to be awful.

I wonder why you get sweaty pits. It might just be hormonal or something. No, it's my ADHD meds. The Dexys raise my body temperature. Oh. Yeah. Oh, so you know why? Yeah, I do know why now.

Oh, well, get some Botox. You'll have the hottest pits in town. Oh, God, you can really see the patches. Yeah, you can see them. You're going to... Why have you got a jacket? No, I don't. It's so embarrassing.

Oh, Pricekeeper Jenna, hi, welcome. Hi. You've got a jacket. You could give it up to Mitchell. Yeah, that's true. Would you sacrifice it? But it'll get wet. It will not.

There's a layer of protection. I've got like a tissue if you want to just stuff it. Like a turkey's butthole. So you went to Wicked. I bailed on Wicked. I know. I couldn't believe that. I know.

I just didn't feel well. So I didn't go. So I gave my ticket to a friend. And I actually, this is an admission, Jenna. I thought of you. Straight away. I thought, who is the witchiest person I know? Oh, yeah. Why didn't you give it to Jenna? Because I was scrolling Instagram is the witchiest person I know? Oh, yeah.

Why didn't you give it to Jenna? Because I was scrolling Instagram and I see Jenna at the Wicked premiere. No. And I think, oh, she's already there. I'll give it to another friend. And then I come back 20 minutes later and Jenna has revealed that she was just joking. She was actually going to get cat food. Oh, she just happened to be on the street when they were setting up for the premiere.

Because she lives right in the city. Because I did see that Instagram story, Jenna, of you at the Yellow Brick Road instead of the red carpet. It was the Yellow Brick Road. Smart. I saw that and I thought, fuck, she's early. It's like 1pm. It doesn't start until the late hour.

I know. It was me and about 20 tourists just standing there taking a photo. It was insane, the amount of people there. I'm not talking people invited, people on the street. I saw your Insta story about the homophobia that was attacking you, security guards. You know, I hate homophobia. For those that missed it, I was talking on Instagram about the fact that I didn't get one photo, despite dolling myself up, forking out on a gorgeous outfit.

I felt a hundred bucks. Normally, I don't at these things. And normally, I avoid the photo wall. I don't like getting pictures taken. I feel like a dickhead posing and that sort of thing. But this time, I was like, no, no, I'm ready. This is my moment. And it just never happened because security kept moving me on because it was so poorly organised. It never once crossed my mind that that could have been the reason. So many people commented, that sounds targeted. I was one of many poofs there. Let me assure you, I don't think that was the problem.

I actually think, yeah, if you were straight, you'd be the minority of the Wicked premiere. Yeah, exactly. No, I don't actually think it was because you were gay. I mean, that'd be ridiculous. But it never crossed my mind, because so many people said the same thing. Listen, you looked gorgeous. Thank you. And you got your photo in the end. You really did. But was it crazy? Was the house that... Can you give us a review of the movie?

Oh, I'm not meant to, like, do spoilers and whatever. Not that I would, but, like, I thought that they would, I guess, dilute it a bit. Because obviously, Wicked, the movie, is based off a stage show, a musical. And I thought they might dilute it a bit to make it more palatable to the general public that maybe don't like musicals. Let me tell you, no, no. They very much did the stage show justice. Wow.

Down to every little detail. I felt like I was watching the stage show on screen. It started with this, of course. That's how it starts? Just like the musical. And I said to Sean, before the movie started, I said, if they don't start with that same orchestra number that they usually do, it just won't be right.

And when it did start that way, I was like, ha! I'm in for a show. That's amazing. I went in bracing myself to hate it, being like, no, they fucked it. Yeah. But they didn't honour the original stage show, but oh my God, they did. How does Wicked start again? I only saw it like eight months ago, but I don't remember the opening scene.

They do like a flashback. So it starts with the end of the musical where they're like, good news, the witch is dead. And then the rest of the musical is like a flashback. To catch up to that moment. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. And a lot of people didn't realise like a flashback. To catch up to that moment. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. And a lot of people didn't realise, I knew going into it, but the Wicked movie is only a part one.

Yeah, yes. So it ends- At Defying Gravity? At Defying Gravity, where normally at the stage show, you'd go into intermission. And so, so many people in the theatre were like, what? Yeah. Wow. They haven't even shot the part two, have they?

I would assume they'd at least have part of it in the can, surely. Have they filmed it? I don't know. There was controversy on the pick up, the radio show that I do, because Brittany Hockley was there, right? Brittany, get this, said that there was a line for Ethan Slater who plays Bok, right? Yep. He is obviously now dating Ariana Grande and there's all the rumours that they met on set

and they both cheated on their partners. Oh, right. I do remember ages ago they were saying that Ariana's a homewrecker because he had a family, right? Yes. And he looks like her brother. He does, apparently. I wouldn't have said that.

But she had a boyfriend. But no, they were both split up if you really look into it. I don't want to get into the cheating of it all. But Britney was saying everyone in the theatre gasped when the box said the line, I would do anything for you because, you know, he loves her. And she thought, as a non-Wicked fan, that was a reference to the scandal.

But we posted that and put it online. Oh, my God. We're being torn apart by Wicked fans. Little witches. Oh, great. So I don't need to say anything. No, you don't. It's all been said.

No, but I defended for once. I was in the right for once. Were you? I was like, no, that's part of the text. That's ridiculous. Yeah, they really, I would say the dialogue was 99.9% exactly as it is on stage. They didn't change a lot. That's good.

Oh, it's on the fly. Are you here for Ariana's pivot? Like she said, I was listening to her on a podcast this week. She's not going to do music for the next 10 years. She wants to focus purely. Yeah. She said, sorry to my fans that like the music, but she wants to focus on acting and musical theater because they are her roots.

That's where she started. Right. I don't know why I've seen other people talking about the movie and giving reviews. she wants to focus on acting and musical theatre because they are her roots. That's where she started. Yeah, right. I don't know why. I've seen other people talking about the movie and giving reviews. I was strictly told not to fucking talk about it until like the 22nd of November. You're a good boy. You're a good follower. But everyone else is bloody talking about it.

So I may as well say this. Yeah. Pleasantly surprised at Ariana. Really? Oh my God, yeah. She, no offence, blew me away far more than Cynthia as Elphaba. Oh, really? Yeah.

Wow. And you could just tell that Ariana's a wicked nerd, so she also wanted to do it justice. She is. You know, this is a little Easter egg, gotten by our friend Justin Hill, right? He interviewed them, and he asked Ariana, the credits, in the credits at the end of the movie, her name is actually not Ariana Grande. It's Ariana Grande-

Hyphen something. Yeah, hyphen something, which is her dad's surname, which is her- Hold on, I'll Google it. Yeah. Thanks, Jenna. I'm on it. Thanks, Jenna. Thank you for that.

Jenna didn't even move a muscle, to be honest. It starts with B. Oh, God. How do I pronounce that? Ariana Grande hyphen Batara. Batara. Batara. Show me, show me.

How would you say that? Butera. I think it's Butera. Anyway, get this. I was close. Batara. Batara. Batara. Show me, show me. How would you say that? Mariana Bronte Butera. I think it's Butera. Anyway, get this. I was close. Batara. When her dad first bought her tickets to see Wicked when she was a little girl, that was

her name. So to honour the first time seeing it. Yeah, right. She credited herself. So she used the full name in the credit. As per her name when she saw the musical the first time when she was a kid. That's cute. It's really cute.

I think that's really sweet. It's not that deep, is it? I think it's beautiful. That is cute. Well, that kind of contradicts everything Lady Gaga has ever said because they always say to her in interviews, why are you credited in a movie as Lady Gaga and not Stephanie Germanotta?

She goes, because that's my artist name, Lady Gaga. Ariana's like, nah, fuck that. I'm honouring the birth to the kid. I will say it's odd when you watch movies like The Joker and it's like Joaquin Phoenix, Miranda Smith, Lady Gaga. Well, how else would you know her? I know, but it just seems silly. Like it works for music because it's kind of camp and dumb,

but when it's acting, it's like, what are you doing, Stephanie? I mean. Give us your real name. Surely other actresses have absurd stage names. We've done a segment on this ages ago. You don't have to ask me to remember. We have. Obviously, Whoopi Goldberg's real name is fucking Karen.

Is it? Yeah. Karen Johnson. Wow. What a normal name. That is so funny. You know what's funny? Recently, I've been regretting not making my name Mitch Macbeth.

Oh, yeah. You discussed this. I really have recently. I just can't picture it. Maybe that's just because I know you as Mitch Cheery, though. But I don't. It's weird. I think Mitch Macbeth is a star.

Mitch Turi runs a Subway franchise, you know? Can your teacher say something about it being unlucky or something? Well, Macbeth is famously unlucky in the theatre world because Macbeth is the Scottish play that Shakespeare wrote and people die when you perform it. So if you. Really? Yeah, it's bad luck to say Macbeth in the theatre or to perform a production of Macbeth. Well, like Voldemort.

Yes, basically. Yeah. It's an old theatre thing. Ariana would get it. Ariana Minota, whatever her dumb name is. Butera. Ariana, yeah, Botticini. So I just regret it.

Like, Mitch Macbeth. Like, it's such a stage name. Now, here's Mitch Macbeth and Mitchell Coombs. Ooh. No, I like cheery. Mitch Macbeth. Mitchell Coombs. The three-syllable thing.

Also, Mitch Cheery. You're already three syllables. Mitch Chebeth. Mitchell Coombs. The three syllable thing. Also, Mitch Cheery. You're already three syllables. Mitch Cheery. That's three. One. Cheery. Mitch Cheery. That's three.

Yeah, that's what I said. Mitch Cheery. So Mitch Macbeth. It's the exact same amount of syllables. Mitchell Coombs. Three. What are you trying to prove? Mitch Macbeth and Mitch Cheery are the same amount of syllables.

That's my point. I'm right. You're right. Thank you. You know how we often say, is it just me on are the same amount of syllables. That's my point. I'm right. You're right. Yeah. Thank you. You know how we often say, is it just me on the fly? Can I do a talkback things on the fly? Sure. Oh, my favorite.

Playing bits from talkback radio. I tuned into John Laws' final broadcast. Did you? I didn't listen. No. You didn't? No. No, no.

I didn't tune in. Well, do you want me to just show you the last bit? Yeah. I feel like he just didn't know what to say. Maybe he was getting worked up and so he just kind of not rushed it. It was very sincere, but I'll play it for you anyway. You be the judge. I haven't heard this.

Let's do it. All right, here we go. Yeah, well, I've got to go now. I don't necessarily want to go, but I think I should. And I'll miss you, you people who are listening now. I hope that you're all happy. I hope that you're all happy. I hope that you all remain happy. I hope that you're able to make a contribution

to this wonderful thing that we've been given by God called a life. I mean, it's a wonderful thing you've been given, a life. For goodness sake, don't mess it up. You know, treat it with kindness, your life, and treat with equal kindness the lives of any people that you happen to encounter and i'm sure you'll do that but in the meantime what do i do i say goodbye

that's it oh that's and then plays this same song that he ends every show with. That was it. Oh, I do say goodbye. I really like that message. I actually like... Let me be a little kinder. Let me be a little kinder. I didn't realise that John Lorth meant as much to me as he does because I actually welled up a bit listening live.

Really? I had like a really dramatic moment yearning out the window and I was like, I can't believe he's gone. Yeah. I didn't cry, welled up, that's it. I was just like, wow, that's it. That is beautiful. I was actually thinking of suggesting this song.

Hang on, listen. I was going to suggest we use this as our final song. This will be the song that we play at the very end of our last episode, but I just feel like it means more to me than anyone. It doesn't mean anything to anyone else. With all due respect, I don't know who this is. Neither do I. I think it's Roger Miller?

The only reason I know it is because it's the fucking John Laws ending song. Well, we still need to brainstorm. What about the idea of you playing the Titanic sinking song on the violin? I gave the violin back. Oh, fuck. And rightly so. Also, it wasn need to brainstorm. What about the idea of you playing the Titanic sinking song on the violin? I gave the violin back. Oh, fuck. And rightly so. Also, it wasn't that good. We could just play a song off my laptop instead.

Leave it to the pros. Well, we still haven't had that many submissions. What song do you think we should end the show with, everyone? Yeah, I've seen a few people in the group chatting about it. I reckon we all, like, on the final episode, brainstorm on the fly. I reckon we bring a song each and then we, we like vote which should be the last song we play. You know what we should do? What about the Lily Allen song that we use for the intro of the song?

Intro of Is It Just Me? We could do a continuation. Yeah, that's taken from the Lily Allen song. This is the very start of the song, Latecomer. See, this is not an emotional goodbye song, is it? That wouldn't work. This isn't the vibe we're going for. I'm thinking more like time to say goodbye.

Whatever the fuck. Whatever. I agree. We need suggestions. Let's all bring one and then we can decide. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, you. Like, very, very straightforward. That's a shit hook. Something that I've noticed in the shower when I'm butt naked. Oh. Oh, God. And I think people are going to relate to it. Mine is, in a way, a health warning. Oh, my. Something that I think a lot of us are guilty of could be causing us harm.

Oh, my. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, can't wait for that. Who's going first? Do you know which one you're more hooked by? Coombs. Me. 100%. All right. Let's go. wait for that. Who's going first? Do you know which one you're more hooked by? Coombs. Me.

100%. All right, let's go. Hit it, Bradley slash Lily Allen. Is it just me or? Do you ever fall asleep with your AirPods in? No, never. Really? Never.

I've never done that in my life. I never have either. Never. Mitchell, why would you sleep with your AirPods in? That's ridiculous. I do most nights. Really? What are you listening to?

Brown noise for sleep. Don't you have like a, I've got a HomePod in my room that I play my sleep sounds on? Yeah, but I'm now sharing my bed and therefore my room with someone. Oh no. And he's listening to his own nonsense. Both Sean and I fall asleep with AirPods in, listening to our own shit. What? And every morning they're both scattered in the bed.

And so we're kind of like, wait, where's my right ear pod? Where's your left ear pod? Oh, hang on. I've got yours under the pillow. That is shocking. Because obviously they fall out as you sleep. But yeah, I do it most nights. Is that not fucking normal?

No. I've never in my life slept with ear pods in. Yeah. Because I do listen to like the brown noise and stuff, but I just have it on speaker. What, just your iPhone? Yeah. Oh, Jenna, that's not the same. Yeah, yeah.

Hang on. Hang the fuck on. Yeah. I'm going to play brown noise through the desk right now so everyone can hear it properly and then play it off my phone and tell me if it's going to have the same impact. It just bloody wouldn't. Okay, let's see. By the way, it's the same 12-hour brown noise podcast on Spotify that I use every time.

So I'm like, that's going to be the top of my Spotify rap, isn't it? Yeah. Your favorite podcast this year. Last year I had all rain noises. Yeah, it fucks it, right? Your favorite artist is rain fruit sounds. I'm not joking. Here we go.

This is played properly. Headphones on or crank this up in the car either way. I'm ready. Brown noise. Helps you focus. Scratches deep inside the brain. Oh wow, I can feel it. It feels like I'm on an airplane. And then what if I play it just off my phone, like Jenna does. Not the same impact. No, it doesn't, It doesn't itch. It's not as deep. No.

Like, as in deep inside you. You can't feel it in your bus. Oh, wow. What the fuck is that? What's it called? Just brown noise. You just search brown noise. Yeah.

And what does Sean listen to on his? Oh, God, it varies. It'll be some nerdy political podcast. It'll be Family Guy. That's what I fall asleep to, nerdy political podcast. Really? Yeah, the other night I couldn't, though, because Trump won. And my anxiety was really high. I couldn't be able to do that. Oh, you need to have a conversation with Sean about that. I fall asleep to, nerdy political podcasts. Really? Yeah, the other night I couldn't though because Trump won and my anxiety was really high.

Oh, you need to have a conversation with Sean about that. I'd love to. I felt like such a dumbass all last week because he's genuinely quite rattled and anxious about Trump winning the election. And I don't know how to support him through that because what the fuck would I know? I can't try and be reassuring because I'm uneducated. I can't be like, don't panic, it'll be fine. I don't know that.

Sean and I have had political discussions because we both listen to the same pod. Oh, really? Yeah, Pod Save America, which is a podcast, a political podcast in America that we both listen to. Fine. I didn't know that. Yeah. And we bonded over it.

Whenever we see each other, we end up talking about politics. It's frightening. That is shocking. But also the- Whenever you see each other. Yeah. So we've had a discussion once. Twice.

Twice. And no, I just think the answer is no one knows. Like we don't know what to do. It could be horrific. I think that's what's making him anxious. Anyway, I digress. Yeah. We don, I just think the answer is no one knows. Like, we don't know what to do. It could be horrific. I think that's what's making him anxious. Anyway, I digress. Yeah, we don't want to get political. So we both fall asleep with our AirPods in every night.

I really thought you guys were going to back me up and it wouldn't just be me. No. But I saw something on TikTok the other day that said you're not meant to bloody do that because A, having the AirPods in, it creates extra moisture in the ears, which then increases the risk of wax build-up and infections and shit. Oh, no. And also, it's a choking hazard. People who have just been

asleep, the AirPods fall into their mouth and they've woken up like... There are no known deaths from airport inhalation. I've checked, but apparently you're not meant to fall asleep with them in. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me, Mitchell. It's never been a problem. All that happens is I wake up and they're flat.

Like they're out of your ear. Well, yeah, they've never stayed in all night. Yeah, I don't actually know what the solution here is. Why headphones? Because then at least if you choke on them, you pull them out. I could neck myself. Yeah, that's true. That's a different, that's a slow death.

Strangulation. That's worse. Yeah, that's really hard. I can't believe that neither of you ever sleep with AirPods. I will say this. It has to be, hold on. I'm just going to get to my Mutt Pack. Okay.

Yeah, go for it. Mitch is going down to his Mutt Pack. It has to be like, you know, the older ones, the older AirPods? Yeah, sure. They're kind of longer. Yeah, you have old AirPods. I prefer them. These ones.

Oh, yeah. They're the ones I have. The OGs. You know the upgraded generation that have the noise cancellation thing? Yeah. And the transparency. So there's a microphone on the outside have the noise cancellation thing and the transparency. So, there's a microphone on the outside of the AirPod for transparency mode. And if you lie on your pillow with the AirPod in, the microphone does feedback.

What do you mean? Like, you know when you hold a microphone close to a speaker and it goes really high pitch squeaking. Oh, it screeches. Does it really? If you lie down with one of these newer ear buds, like the bloody ones that get wax all through them. If you lie down with those on, you get the mic feedback. It's fucked. Oh, it screeches. Does it really? If you lie down with one of these newer ear buds, like the bloody ones that get wax all through them, if you lie down with those on, you get the mic feedback. It's fucked. Oh, no.

That's why I prefer these ones. So you feel like you're a year six student giving a speech and you've awkwardly walked too close to the monitor. Yes. You know how in school assembly the mic feedback is always gradual. It's always like... Yes. There's a build-up to it.

And everyone's like Oh here it comes Here it fucking comes You just would keep having nightmares Of a giant mosquito chasing you And you wouldn't know Why it was repeating and happening No it's so

I pitch the air pod fee per It wakes you Does it wake you straight up Well I just don't sleep With these ones Because it's unpleasant But now apparently I'm not meant to sleep

With these ones Because I could choke and die Or get an ear infection Which I don't need It's the last bloody thing I need. I've got enough infection. Yeah, do you? No.

Oh, yeah, I was going to say. Sometimes I tell jokes. I think you'll be fine. You're right. Is it just me? I told you once. Now I've told you twice. Ow!

Ooh, leave a five-star review. It's not that hard to do. Leave a five-star review. Now time for an hard to do. Leave a five-star review. Now time for And Is It Just You? Thank you, Oscar. Wow. I just realised I played it at the wrong spot. Yeah, I'm like, well, fuck me.

It's that time for And Is It Just You? We're not there yet. Maybe the room is alright. Maybe Oscar and I hate each other because Oscar just cut me off from my e-jump. That was incredible. Oh, well, I'll just have to play it again when we get to that point in the show. My bad. My bad.

I'm ready for mine if I'm allowed. Am I allowed? Well, can I let everyone know what's coming up in the next episode? Yeah, for sure. Well, episode 248, which is out on Wednesday. Yeah. Remember in 2022, I think, you dragged my darling Sean in here. And we were very fresh in our relationship.

And you called it the Sean pit because you wanted to dig for information because I was a bit cagey when we were a new couple. I didn't want to give you all the details, so you fucking did it on the podcast. Well, on Wednesday, I'm doing Even Stevens. I'm so keen for this. Brilliant. Even's going to be in here.

Yeah, my boyfriend. I've asked some idiots to send in questions too. Oh, God. I've got plenty of my own, don't you worry. All right. I'm excited, but I'm also nervous. Why? I don't know. It's weird. It's like bringing your partner to work.

Yeah, now you know how I felt when you fucking dragged Sean in here. Even Steven's bitch. All right. I'm not going to do anything to make him uncomfortable. Don't stress. Good. I'm so excited for him. I'm really excited. He listens to the show every week. So does his mum. So let's try to keep it clean-ish. Coming from you.

I've cleaned up my act. Smart. I've stopped up my act. Smart. I've stopped the smart. Smart. We need to get one of those bells. Like, ding! Just a smart bell. Instead of shame. Shame. Smart. Alright, that's next episode. Beautiful St. Stephen. A little reminder, by the way, idiots. We are in the midst of Mugvember.

So get your mug pre-orders in. We've got the brand new mugs for this season, the final season. But then all the old ones are on sale as well. At the end of November, once they're in December, we're not taking any more orders. And then we'll get them shipped out to you in time for Christmas. That's a promise. Yes, we'll get them as little Chrissy gifts.

And if you want them signed, we'll sign them as well. But if you want to buy one, buy it now because the store will close. Sorry to interrupt. No, no. I just realised we never did the tiebreaker of you and Oscar. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. Hang on, let me pull it up. Do you have a dramatic drone sound effect? I'm sure I can find no. I just realised we never did the tiebreaker of you and Oscar. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. Hang on, let me pull it up.

Do you have a dramatic drone sound effect? I'm sure I can find one. I can do it. I think I'm rather the official, thanks. There we go. Okay. So this was because I declared a recount, true Trump style. Sorry, I have to get a fucking six-digit code before I can get in the back end.

You keep talking. Oh, my God. I'm trying to think of a back end joke. Couldn't come quick enough. There it is. So I did not win the merch battle. Mitchell did, of course, because he's got a bunch of Russian fans. We had a design each. Mine was the

Ears 2 inspired one. You had I'm with Idiot. Correct. It was a competition between us. I won by landslide. Correct. Then we went away on holiday as we were really well within our right to. Oscar stole somehow the passwords to the podcast feed and posted misfit episodes. What a full of shit.

And Oscar then, breaching codes of course, I'm not suing him because I just don't think the litigation would be fair, decided to launch his own merch. Now, his merch sold the same as my merch. Literally the exact same amount. I couldn't believe it. And so we decided to do a tiebreaker. Who could sell more out of the two of you?

I chucked a ten. So you're battling for second place, not first. That's fine. I'll take what I can get at this point. And I flogged it. I had fans message me and people messaged me who said I bought merch. I then went back to those messages and said pics. And then the people that sent me chicken merch, I had hits put on them.

I've got the results. I, I'm with Idiot. I celebrated them. So here we go. These are the results for second place. Technically first place, but in the second tier. You know what I mean? It is. In a way, it's a first place.

Here we go. Music's making me so anxious. So overall, in first place, it is still me with the Ears Tour merch. Oh, I didn't catch up? No, you didn't lap me. Okay. In second place, it's actually neither of you. Thrash it?

No, not that. In second place, it's the mugs. They're selling like hotcakes. Okay. All right. That's good. That's great. So sorry, neither of you were second place.

But we do have a result. Yes. Oh. You're not tied anymore. Okay. In third place. Yeah. That's great. So sorry, neither of you were second place. But we do have a result. Yes. Oh. You're not tied anymore. Okay. In third place. Yeah. I'm nervous.

Mitchell Cheery. Oh. Well done. I'm with Idiot. Well done. Thank God. Congratulations. You're third place.

Chookin still firmly in fourth place. And then interestingly, fifth place, we've now got a tie between the rash shirts and the totally tight bags. Oh, interesting. There we go. Well, thank you to all the idiots that purchased the I'm With Idiot range and the Chookin range. Let's be honest, it's all supporting the show. So we're very grateful.

Absolutely. And please keep buying them. And congratulations to Pricekeeper Chookin. What's his name? Roving Reporter Oscar. You didn't even get any of the words right. Roving. That wasn't even a even get any of the words right. Roving. That wasn't even a joke.

Roving reporter Oscar. Congratulations, Chug. That brings us to our next point, the rash shirts. Oh, yeah, they're nearly sold out. So coupleofmitches.com.au. All the merch is coming to an end. So mugs by the end of the month, rash shirts, sell them like hotcakes as well.

The rash shirts are so good. Please purchase the rash shirts. Yes. Please do. Or just, you know, pick them like hotcakes as well. The rash shirts are so good. Please purchase the rash shirts. Yes. Please do. Or just, you know, pick your poison, buy whatever. We're not doing a competition anymore. Please, for the love of God. So my new Jenna poster.

Yeah, get what you need. Get what you mail. You want to shop Tony and Ryan merch? Buy that. Who gives a shit? Support your favourite podcast. Now, can I do an idjim or not? Oh, do we want to hear it, Jenna?

Not really. It's not even good. Okay, then let's not have it. No, it's actually one of my worst. I just don't know if there's much to go off. Don't underestimate yourself. All right, well, we'll see. Bradley.

Is it just me or... Is bar soap so back? Oh, God. It never left. Oh, I'm so glad. I could kiss you right now. Bar soap has fallen into my hands as a gift from the Lord. It is incredible.

Why did you stop using it? I don't know. Body wash. Big farmer got onto me, and I thought I had to get the body wash. It cleans you better. You get more surface area. You can scrub and lather. Let me tell you, a little chunk of Dove soap, one little rub between your hands.

I think the Dove's too small, personally. Oh, you want like a big hefty, you're a pears person. Like a rectangular prism sort of thing. Oh, interesting. I must say pears is good too. Pears is good. Look, whatever your poison, whatever your bar is, it just lathers up. You can get it in the bits.

It gets all bubbly. It gets all bubbly. There's something fun about watching it shrink. You can get it in the bits. It gets all bubbly. It gets all bubbly. There's something fun about watching it shrink. The only annoying part is the last week of a bar of soap when it gets real soft and it's thin.

No, the only fucked part is the bloody marks it leaves. Wherever you leave the thing of soap in the shower. The residue. Yeah, the residue. The remnants. It's so gross. Yeah, I agree. I've got a soap dish. Aren't they a fucking waste of time?

I spend more time cleaning them. When it slips out of your hand. Oh, yeah, and it's worse. So bad. And when your cellmates are next to you and then you've got to bend down. It's really typical. I don't think I've ever dropped the soap, all jokes aside. Really?

Oh, I have. I've never dropped it. Oh, I have multiple times and it makes a big noise. You need soap on a rope. Oh, my God, soap on a rope. Remember that show? Yes. It was such a daggy Christmas present for your dad, like a cricket ball or a football on a fucking rope.

Do you remember soap on like a stick so you could get your back? Yeah. So have soap on a stick. Do you remember the soap that they used to give to you and it had like a toy inside? It was clear. I used to get Nickelodeon soaps and it had like Tommy Pickle in the middle of it.

What? I don't know this. Yeah, you'd like know that was a thing. Like a pin the surprise of soap. Yeah, so it would start out as a colour. Then as you'd wash, it would like become opaque. And you'd see like Chucky in there. Oh, so it's quite literally encouraging kids to wash themselves.

Correct. That's fucking clever. But the problem is like Chucky had spiky red hair on this plastic toy. As you wash yourself, you'd be like, oh, I'm getting close to Chucky. It's just these little pricks in your skin. I never knew that was a thing. Yeah. Me too. Anyway, it's cheap. The times are tough. It'll just these little pricks in your skin. I never knew that was a thing. Me too. Anyway, it's cheap. The times are tough. It'll clean your butt, everything.

Bar soap is back. That's specifically what I like it for. Really? You can get in there. Yeah, because if you're using body wash to wash between the cheeks, you've got a literally sick finger. It's not. No, it's an intricate thing. Let the bar soap do the work. That's what I've learned. I agree. Idjim bar soap, is it too late? Probably. No, it's an intricate thing. Let the bar soap do the work. That's what I've learned.

I agree. Idjim bar soap, is it too late? Probably. Yeah, okay. Sorry to tell you. That's all right. All right, now's the right time to play this. I told you once, now I've told you twice.

Ow! Ooh, leave a five-star review. It's not that hard to do. Leave a five-star review. Now time for an Is It Just You? I love that so much. You know what? I thought hearing it a second time would make me sick.

Has it grown on you? Of course it's grown on me. Beautiful singing voice. All right, we have your chance now to be on the show for the very last time. I believe that if you call us for an Is It Just You, you're getting a very special prize from Prizekeeper Jenna. Yeah, actually, anyone that was listening this time last week, you would have heard the umbrella fiasco.

We ordered umbrellas for one listener, Emmy, who was calling about umbrellas and we just said, oh, we'll get a custom umbrella as your prize. Oh, it's become so much more complicated than it needed to be because Jenna's freaking out. She doesn't know how to post an umbrella. To be fair, you did order the

biggest umbrella I've ever seen. I didn't know. If you look online, it just looks like a fucking umbrella. I've been so stressed. I will also say this. They've sent us double because when Jenna told me that we've got 10 umbrellas, I was like, I swear to God I only ordered five. So they got lost in the post. The courier couldn't

find his way around Pepsi Palace. And so I got an email saying it's been declared lost in transit. They're gone. I said to Jenna, have they turned up? She goes, nah, they're nowhere to be seen. I waited a week, still no umbrellas. So I contacted the manufacturer or whatever and said, where are my fucking umbrellas?

They said, sorry, it's lost in transit. We'll send more. So they sent another five and then both turned up somehow. So now we've got double the amount. Maybe we should put those on the fucking website. Why don't we keep one as a little memento for the show? Yeah. I'll take one. I'd love a Bidgham umbrella. Just register at my desk and I'll give it to you. Thanks so much. put those on the fucking website. Why don't we keep one as a little memento for the show? Yeah, that's fine.

I'll take one. I'd love a Ijeom umbrella. Just register at my desk and I'll give it to you. Thanks so much. Yeah, you have to earn it, bitch. So Jenna was freaking out at the fact that she doesn't know how to mail these umbrellas. Well, I stepped in. I said, I'll find a fucking tube that one might send a poster in.

Here we go, Jenna. Can you fetch an umbrella? Yeah, okay. We'll test it right here, right now. Oh, you're going to put the umbrella, the broly in the tube? Look how big this poster tube is. Show me. Okay, I'm getting an umbrella.

Woo! There's no way. Oh, what? You're going to hit the ceiling. Oh, I know. There's no way it won't fit in that, right? No, it'll fit in that. I actually think that's too large.

Oh, my goodness. That's a big motherfucker. Wow. Okay, I'm back. Yeah, we've got the umbrella, right? Yep. All right, here we go. The moment of truth.

Drum roll. Slide it in, Jenna. Jenna's sliding it into Mitch's hole. Do you want me to guide you in? Oh, you've done this before. Oh, my God, it's almost there. Up to the handle. Oh, wow.

Plenty of room. Let me see. Perfect. You might have to pat it a little, Mitchell. I'm not doing it. I'm not price people. Jenna might have to pat it a little. Oh, it looks great.

Is it fit or is that coming out? No, the lid keeps coming off. Oh, we just tape it and we're all good. I wonder how much that's going to cost the kiddie-o a fair bit in shipping and freight. Doesn't matter. We're here now. Yay! Dedication only for the next few callers.

This is one of nine now that I've stolen one. Umbrella's limited edition. Eight because one of them is going to Emmy. Totally. So there's eight left. You can hit us up at couple of mitches. Of course, you can text us on this number. If you haven't heard enough of Oscar's voice, this is the number, yeah.

Oh, 422-948-202. Oh, 422-948-202. Send us a text. And that's exactly what Hayley has done today. Hayley's in Newcastle. She's going to be the first to get an Ijeom umbrella. Shall we call her? Yeah, let's give her Hayley has done today. Hayley's in Newcastle. She's going to be the first to get an Ijeom umbrella. Shall we call her? Yeah, let's give her a buzz.

All right. I don't think she should be the first. Make sure you send Emmys first. Okay, yeah, I'm definitely sending Emmys first. Hello. Hello, Hayley. Hi, Hayley. Hi, Hayley.

Hey, how's it going? We are so good. You sound sweet. Sometimes you talk to people and I'll be honest, they sound like cows. You sound sweet. Sometimes you talk to people and I'll be honest, they sound like cows. You sound sweet. Oh, thank you so much. Are you actually sweet?

Yes. I'll just say yes. Yes. But you know what? The ones that sound sweet and look sweet often cows. It's weird how it works. Hello. I'm a living example.

Literally. Proof is in the pudding. How are you? Where are you calling from in the world? Newcastle. I'm from Newcastle. But where? Like near a Henny Penny or are you near the ocean?

I don't think I've ever seen a Henny Penny in my life, mind you. Isn't that Newcastle's thing? I don't know. I don't see them around. So every time we talk about it on the pod, I was just like, I don't know where one is. To be fair, the last time I was in Newcastle was when the Pasha Bolker was breached. And there was multiple Henny Pennies. Oh my God.

And I just remember being so infatuated with it. So I just thought they were everywhere, like McDonald's. That's the extent of your Newcastle trivia. The Pasha Bolker, whatever it's called, and Henny Penny. That's all you ever mentioned. 100%. Yeah, that's all. All right.

Have you got any that just made for us? Oh my God, yes. Okay. Perfect. Bradley's going to count you in. You ready to go, Hayley? Sure am. All right, let's all. All right, have you got any that's just me for us? Oh, my God, yes. Okay. Perfect. Bradley's going to count you in. You ready to go, Hayley? Sure am. All right, let's go.

Is it just me or...? Is trying to get a fuck when you live with your parents an absolute nightmare? Oh, my days. Sorry, you would resonate, right? Well, I'm doing fine at the moment, but I can relate to the pain. It's really tough, especially if they're right above your bedroom, like they are with me.

Are you living with your parents? Are you back with your parents or have you just never left? It's not my story, but this is a story of somebody that I know. There is a closeted gay man. Let's call him Barry.

Barry. That checks out. Okay. So Barry lives with his mum, who is extremely religious and homophobic, unfortunately. Taylor's oldest time. How old is Barry? Because I'm picturing someone who's 80.

Early 20s. Can we call him Luke? What about Ryan? Ryan. Let's about Ryan? Yeah. Ryan. Let's go Ryan. Okay. So the twink is Ryan.

Yeah. So Ryan lives with his homophobic mother. Got it. So Ryan, yeah, lives with his mum and then his mum is going to work. Ryan's like, I'll see you when you get home this afternoon. He's got the house to himself. Yeah. Anyway, Ryan goes, okay, I'm going to have, I don't know, Brody over that he's been chatting to because homophobic mum's not around. They can, you know, get up to fun.

Yep. Mind you, Ryan has a single bed in his room. Oh, right. Okay. I can relate to that. My boyfriend, Stephen, has a single bed. So things can be done. Not Jenna going grow up.

Honestly. So things can be done. Not Jenna going grow up. Honestly. Anyway, Ryan, whose house it is, goes, oh, well, let's just go and fuck on mum's bed. Okay? As you do. And mind you, Ryan, who the story's about, he has never bottoms before.

Oh, I see. So anyway, they're getting into it and stuff like that. And this guy obviously thought that he had prepped, but he doesn't. He hadn't cleared the runway, I see. Next minute, shit goes all over mum's bed. Oh, God. And this beautiful man that he's invited over says, it's fine. We'll deal with it.

It's okay. It's normal. It happens. Every good top should be just like that. I agree. If you're going to fornicate in that area, be prepared to cop the risk. You're right. Yeah.

Anyway, Ryan's phone rings and it's his mum. Oh God. Oh shit. Hi darling. Just so you know that we got that delivery coming. I'm just going to duck home on my lunch break in a minute and sign it because I've got a sign for it.

And she wasn't due for hours, I'm assuming. Hours. Yeah, hours. He's like, what the fuck am I going to do? How do I explain shit all over the bed? Yeah. So they were like, okay, let's just go. Let's just bail.

I think it's the safest option. So they get dressed. Ryan and the route left. Yep. Yep. Without cleaning anything up. Oh, my God. Please.

15 minutes later, Ryan gets a phone call of his mum. And he freaks out and he answers it. And he's like, hey. And she is furious. She's like, what the fuck has happened? There is shit all over my bed. Why is there shit on my bed? On my bed, yeah.

Yeah. So the first thing he says is, oh, like, I've been out all day. Like, sorry, I forgot to tell you. I'm at a mate's house. And she's like, well, what the fuck? And then he's like, oh, but I left the dog in when I left. Maybe, like, he's gotten into something or... And then immediately her tone changes and was like, it's okay, it's fine, I'll clean it up.

I hope you have a good time. And he's like, you know what, I'm just going to stay at my mate's house tonight. I can't be fucked coming home. And she's like, no worries, all good. Wow, he's really just avoiding all responsibility and problems. Has he showered yet? Because I'm really worried about the shitty asshole, no worries, all good. Wow, he's really just avoiding all responsibility and problems. Has he showered yet? Because I'm really worried about the shitty asshole, but sure. So many questions.

Anyway, he goes home. His mum's car is in the driveway. He goes in and she's like, Ryan, we need to have a serious chat. So he sits down. She's like, so you know what happened yesterday? And then he's like, yeah, you told me what happened. And she goes, oh, so, okay, in enters the dog. Let's call Frankie.

The dog is Frankie. Must we protect the identity of this dog? If we must, we will. Anyway, she goes, you said that Frankie got into something and sat on my bed and blah, blah, blah. And then he's like, yep. And she goes, well, I took Frankie to the vet yesterday. And the vet said that, you know, diarrhea and stuff in older dogs isn't good. So I put Frankie down yesterday. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, Frankie died. Oh, no. That's not where I saw that going. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, Frankie died. Oh, no. That's not where I saw that going. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. So he had to dig a teeny tiny grave for the dog. He killed his dog.

It gives a whole new meaning to fuck me dead, doesn't it? 100%. Definitely. Doggy style. I was going to say doggy style. Really, salt in the wound for the dog. Wait, so hold on. Is he out now, Luke?

Has he come out? Is it all good? Or is it Ryan? It's Ryan. Fucking hell, Ryan. So Ryan's come out now and now I just want to let you all know that he has a cat. Great choice. I understand. Well, thanks for your call. Appreciate it. We'll send you out a prize.

Make sure you hit up Jenna with your address, darling. Please do. No worries. Thanks, guys. Bye. Thank you. Oh, darling. Please do. Okay, no worries. Thanks, guys. No worries. See you. Bye. Thank you. Oh, my God.

Yeah, fucking hell. Jesus. I thought that the story was going to be about the shart incident, and I'm like, hey, hey, hey, we don't shame that in this house. No. Like you said, any supportive top won't have any fear with that. Nothing to be embarrassed about. It's part on you.

I mean, it is on you. You're the one who did it. You were putting things in there. Exactly. Don't be shocked when things come out. Yes. All right, well, we're going to go. Thanks's part on you. I mean, it is on you. You're the one who did it. You were putting things in there. Exactly. Don't be shocked when things come out. Yes. All right, well, we're going to go. Thanks for listening, idiots.

Thank you. As you can see earlier in the show, leave us a review. Just because we're ending doesn't mean we don't need the support. Five stars. Just write your thoughts. You know what? It'd be nice to have some messages there about the show ending. That way people never find us.

No. Are you craving some sort of ego boost? No. Just say, sad the show's ending. Or can someone just fucking write, show is ending, FYI. So if people go to find us, they can read the reviews and go, uh-huh. No. Are you craving some sort of ego boost? No, just say, sad the show's ending. Or can someone just fucking write, show is ending, FYI. So if people go to find us, they can read the reviews and go, uh-huh, okay. Yeah, maybe the review needs to be specific and say, definitely worth a binge from the start. Yeah.

Even though the show is ending. Yeah, go back. Because I know for a fact, hang on, let me just go on to Apple Podcasts. That's where you can write a review. Does it tell you the total amount? Yeah, it should. At the bottom? Oh yeah,

we've only got 600 ratings. Not even all of those are written. I know for a fact we've got far more than 600 listeners so many of you listening right now

haven't even bothered to leave a review despite years of us begging and now begging through song. For the love of God, leave us a review. You know you wanna. Yeah.

Thanks for listening, idiots. We'll see you soon. Catch you very soon. Ta-da. Bye. See ya. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches.

Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, but it's not. It's not. Why are you standing up, by the way? I need to get my water. Can you just pad for a sec? Sure.

That's right. I do. I'll be in the pad. Where has it been the whole episode? On the deck. I thought he sounded clammy. Yeah. I feel like that's not a phobia, but something that I find really irritating that's only developed in the last year or so.

I hate hearing spit clicks on microphones. Yeah, I know. I know. And that's why I've always got fucking water right next to me, constantly hydrating, trying to avoid that because it irks me. I don't even know if it irks anyone else, but it irks me. And I have to fucking listen when I'm editing. The other day when I listened to our John Laws interview,

because we posted that as a bonus, I felt ill. It was full of spit clicks. I didn't even notice. So obviously it wasn't a trigger at that point. I shouldn't have pointed it out. No, everyone else is going to notice. What's happened? I didn't notice.

I was saying that I've noticed in recent years, maybe even the last year, I've developed this real sensory issue with the sound of spit clicks. Oh, you've mentioned that to me. Mitch has messaged me after editing and gone, if you could please keep the spit clicks to a minimum. Well, it's not an active choice. I'm not a monitor.

I don't think I've ever actually said that. A water monitor. I was saying that I never used to be bothered by it. I never noticed it. Most people probably don't. But when we reposted that John Laws interview, it was full of spit clicks. Was that John Laws, though? And both of us.

Really? Oh, three. I had dry mouth. I was anxious. Yeah, we must have been parched as fuck. That's what I said to Jenna. Oh, I'm glad he's going to get water. It's going to be spit clicky from him today.

I just know it. Sorry. Hi, everyone. Do I sound spit clicky now? Don't. Where does it come from, the tongue? I actually don't know. Maybe just know it. Sorry. Hi, everyone. Do I sound spit-clicky now? Don't. Where does it come from, the tongue? I actually don't know. Maybe the side of the cheeks.

Yeah. I thought it was all me. I thought it was the dry mouth. That's another thing, another side effect of the ADHD meds. Dry mouth and raised body temperature. Isn't it ironic that it makes your pits wet but your mouth very, very parched? I know. If it could just swap, that'd be awesome.

Yeah. Although, do I want a particularly wet mouth? Yeah, that's the thing. You don't really want that. Why don't you just come off the drugs? Huh? Why don't you just come off the swap, that'd be awesome. Although, do I want a particularly wet mouth? Yeah, that's the thing. You don't really want that. Why don't you just come off the drugs? Huh? Why don't you just come off the drugs? Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be silly. How long have you not had them for? Is there a period where you've forgotten or you've been off them? Not really. I'm just in a habit now. Yeah. In fact, I'm nearly due for some. Well, it's a Dexia clock, everyone.

Yeah, nearly. But there was the point where I was convinced. This is so fucking dumb to admit. Admit it. When I first went on them, I obviously noticed increased productivity, increased focus, whatever. And then I was feeling smug and I was like, you know what? I'm doing fine. I don't need them anymore.

Oh, no. It's because you were on them. Exactly. What a fuckwit. And so I went off them and I didn't struggle or anything in terms of like withdrawals. But I did notice myself becoming slower. And so I was like, oh my God, what the fuck, now I have to go back on them. So it does increase productivity. Yes. And like focus in particular for me. Really?

Yeah. Wow. My endocrinologist has put me on metformin. What the hell is that? I don't know, but I have like very low blood sugar. Like it just drops out of nowhere. That's where part of my, you know how I was saying I was really dizzy and getting clammy and apparently I was hyperglycemic. So my blood sugar. Like it just drops out of nowhere. That's where part of my, you know how I was saying I was really dizzy and getting clammy and apparently I was hyperglycemic. So my blood sugar was, well, my insulin was really high because I lost a whole bunch of weight and my

endocrine system is all out of whack. I'm sorry you've lost me. I lost too much weight very quickly and my body's kind of like, oh, kind of, we're used to this. We're used to this big, well,

we're used to this big body and now this is happening, but then also I'm fitter, but then I kind of have stopped running. I don i don't know where it's meant to be is it meant to be high or low it's meant to be just like at a normal level right you don't want it high or low high as diabetic low as is hyperglycemic um so i was having low moments and i didn't realize it so i'd be sitting there even on the podcast you guys would have seen like i'd start getting fully clammy sweaty feeling like i'm gonna pass out and get dizzy. And that's because my blood sugar was too bottoming out. You're the opposite of diabetic.

Yeah. Interesting. I just assume that my blood sugar level is fine. I've never actually checked. No. If your blood sugar, if your blood sugar is too high, it's dry mouth and it's like you're craving sweet things and you're peeing all the time because your body is filtering. Hello. Yeah. Okay. Now it's Dr. Google.

You know when you go Google headache, I'm tired. Whatever. Call the police, you know? Blurred vision. No, I've got glasses for that. Urinating large amounts. Yes. Excessive thirst.

Yes. Feeling tired. Well, not all the time. And that's on Dexys. Frequent hunger. At night. I wouldn't say frequent hunger. Mitchell, I'd say yours is a mix of the fact that you drink a shit ton of water, a literal metric

shit ton of water, and you're on ADHD meds. But that's because I'm thirsty. But I reckon the ADHD meds would be drying you out. That's why you're drinking one. God, it's just so hard to get anything right. And the reason I sleep with AirPods, going back to that, it's because I'm trying to improve my sleep. And like, you know, the brown noise is meant to be good for mindfulness and meditation and whatever.

So I'm trying to improve myself. But at the same time, I'm giving myself an ear infection, apparently. You just can't win. Apple Music or? Huh? Are you on Apple Music? No. Oh, because I was going to share my sleep playlist.

Oh, can you share it with me? Yeah, this is what I sleep to every night. Ready? That's the way. That doesn't do much for me. Yeah, this is what I sleep to every night. Ready? That is the main. That doesn't do much for me. Oh, that makes me so relaxed. Really? No, it doesn't do much for me.

That is nice. It calms me right down. Makes me really happy. Interesting. Storms? Yeah, storms. I love thunderclaps. Oh, my God.

It makes me really calm. Because it just, you know what it makes me think? Flat. No, it makes me. Did you say come or calm? Calm. Oh, sorry. It makes me really come.

That's what I thought you said. That's why I was so appalled. Come on, rain clouds. Closer, closer. I was like, Jesus. Oh, that's some precipitation getting me going. That's disgusting, Mitchell. The rain isn't the only droplet spinning the juice right now.

Oh, it's not droplets. All right. Well, I can't share it with you, but just try Sleep and Storm because Sleep and Storm- I have tried that, by the way. It doesn't do anything for me. Stephen likes the Sleep and Storm, which is good. So you need to ask Sean what he likes and then find one that you like. Then you can just play it off of a big speaker, communal speaker.

Yeah. The problem is that our bedroom's so far from the router that the Alexa keeps dropping out. I used to play sleep music on the Alexa. Fuck. But yeah. No wonder you can't sleep. I used to play sleep music on the Alexa. Fuck. But yeah. No wonder you can't sleep. I know. It's just chimney hoops.

I just pop the AirPods in. Yeah. Again, I haven't had any issues so far. But then when I saw that thing on TikTok warning me against it, I was like, oh, for God's sake. Why is this? There's just always hurdles. I'm sick of hurdles.

Is it just me on the fly? Fuck hurdles. Yeah. Well, you're not actually hurdling, are you? You're not like doing actual physical hurdles. Huh? Like the sport, hurdling. Did I ever imply that I was?

I was just checking. Stupid question. Sorry. Is it just me on the fly or are you stressed about hurdles? I thought maybe you weren't liking hurdles. No. Oh, all right. Well, what time do you go to bed and then what time do you fall asleep?

Big question. It varies. Yeah. How many hours do you get? Again, it varies. Yeah, but what's your average? Do you have an average? Seven to eight. Oh, that's good. Yeah. I do eight to question. It varies. Yeah. How many hours do you get? Again, it varies. Yeah. But what's your average? Do you have an average? Seven to eight.

Oh, that's good. Yeah. I do eight to nine. I sleep a lot. Oh, then what the fuck's your excuse? Here I was thinking you're a shift worker. He's always knackered. He doesn't get enough sleep.

You're getting more than anyone. I get to sleep very late. But I sleep in. I get to sleep late. Yeah. Which is still not good because your rhythm's out and the sun fucks you up because you're sleeping at like 11am. Blades the curtains, you fool.

No, I've got five for holds. It's lived by the beach. They're like shutters, plantation shutters. Oh, that's what I want in my place. They're expensive. You've seen how much natural light I have in the penthouse, right? A lot, yeah. For the first week, there were no blinds.

And they're like, don't worry, someone's coming to install the blinds in a few days' time. Oh, fuck me, that was hell. I needed sunglasses indoors. Oh, my God. Why don't you get curtains from Ikea? You can get stick-on ones because you're in a rental palace. You could. It's a dream for everyone.

Get, like, sheer curtains and block-out curtains, and then it will block the light out. We've got blinds now. Oh, good. That's all sorted. That was only for the first little bit. That was tricky. Do they pay for that?

Waking up at fuck- off o'clock just naturally. Did you get a rent reduction because of the fucked elevator situation? That hasn't actually come to a head yet. What, the elevator's still happening? Well, no, it hasn't come to a head yet. Oh. Oh, yeah, you weren't here for this, Jenna. They're apparently shutting down my elevator for six months to repair it.

What? Six months? Therefore, I have to take a lot of stairs. And the other day, I thought, I might just take the stairs to see how I cope with this. Fuck. Like, after the first few flights you're like, I'm over this now. And I'm as high as you can literally get in the building.

No one knows. And then stairs in the penthouse itself? I argued that he should demand a rental decrease. But they haven't officially blocked it off yet, so I'll deal with that when we get to it. That's fascinating for everyone, I'm sure. It really is.

Listen, we should probably go, shouldn't we? It's been a long one. Yeah, it's been a long one. Yeah, all right then. Stephen, my boyfriend, on for Even Stevens next week. That's exciting. Next week. It's literally in a couple of days.

Next episode. Only in a few days. I'll prepare him. We've been doing two episodes a week for so long and he still doesn't quite get it. I know. He's in the habit of saying next week. I am as well. And my radio shows are always tomorrow.

So I don't know. I just have too many days. The same amount as all of us. But yeah. The same as everyone. But in my head I'm thinking of days and timelines and I'm like Stephen Hawking. It's a whole thing. You couldn't understand possibly if you tried. I'm sure I could. We don't have the time because we're wrapping up and the music started. That's right.

It's a shame. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. So we do. Thanks, idiots. Talk to you in a couple of days. It's bye-bye. See ya.
