This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Hello you! Hello you! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. You know I saw Ada Nicodemo in Westfield the other day? When? It was Thursday.

No, when did I ask? Oh, fuck off! Now here's Mitch Turey and Mitchell Coombs. Hello you! Hello you! Oh my god, the countdown is on! Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Oh, my God, the countdown is on. Yes, I'm no good at math.

This is 248 and we're going until 255. What's that? Seven more episodes. Okay. That's my favourite number. Yeah, yeah. Is that a good sign? Yeah, seven. Yeah, it's a good sign.

Did I tell you, by the way, the whole bucket list thing we're doing, things you want to tick off. Yeah. I'll find who suggested this because I want to give them a shout out. Abby said, do your longest episode ever for the last episode. Oh, that seems fair. Right? Yeah.

So, I checked our longest episode ever. Do you want to know what we're trying to beat? Oh, my God. It'd be up there to an hour and a half, I'd say. Higher? Higher. It couldn't be two hours. No, we actually haven't cracked two hours. Okay, alright.

1.47? Close. Yeah. Do you want to keep guessing or do you just want me to tell you? I reckon an hour 40, hour 45. Hour 47 is my final guess. You were pretty close. It was an hour and 43. Oh my God. And that's without the ads and shit. What was the episode? Do you remember?

1.11. Triple One, Talk Back Tings Live. They always blew out a bit, those ones. They were live episodes. Yeah. Although, interestingly, the second longest was the group therapy one we did at my place, remember? What was that? What was that after?

Why did we all need therapy? Well, we were talking about weight loss and shit. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, that was an hour and 33. Yeah, that was, of course, after High Welcome Pricekeeper Jenna's bariatric surgery. It was emotional. It was emotional for all of us. It was an emotional time for us all.

For you as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were still on the puree. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Speaking of stats, remember we found out that one of our most listened to episodes ever was the Sean pit when you dragged my darling partner Sean in the studio to grill him when we were fresh in our relationship.

Well, you and you. And I hadn't met him. And I wanted to ensure that he was right for you. And he had only the purest of intentions. And that he was also hot. I'm vain. I'll be honest. I wanted to make sure he was hot and cute.

That was definitely an important component. It was a big visual component for me. And I brought him in. And I asked him questions in the Sean pit. And weirdly, it was one of our most listened to episodes ever. So, everyone, game face on. This could get a lot of listens. We're getting even Stevens today. Your partner's coming in. Stevens coming in.

Yes. I'm excited. I love him to bits. He's such a cutie. This isn't his industry. He's a speech pathologist. Which means he can probably speak just fine, I would assume. Of course he can. He speaks very well. He actually picks up on many speech errors that we both. I haven't even asked. Is he nervous about coming in today? I don't think he's nervous. He just very well. He actually picks up on many speech errors that we both. I haven't even asked. Is he nervous about coming in today?

I don't think he's nervous. He just wanted to know what to expect. He doesn't really get super nervous. He's excited. He'll be fine. Don't stress. Nothing too hard hitting. I'm excited.

Do you notice anything different about me actually though? Huh? My hair in particular? No. Everyone that I work with in the radio station has declared that I look like a Lego man. What does that even mean? Let me take my headphones off. They say, oh, haircut, you look like a Lego man.

Or someone said, you look like Bart Simpson. Oh, I see what they mean now. But no, I didn't notice. Thank you. That wouldn't have come to my mind. It's just very like straight on the sides. But I normally get that. You can put like a ruler up against it.

Yeah. But it doesn't look bad. God, what happened? And you can ask Stephen when we do Even Stevens if you really want to. But I was getting my haircut on the weekend and Stephen was still in bed and it was early in the morning. So I said, you stay in bed, babe. I'll go get my haircut.

So I get my haircut. This would have been like 8.45 on a Saturday. What kind of maniac books an 8.45 a.m. appointment is? Are you insane? It was the last minute. It was pre-Wicked. I thought I was going to Wicked. So I got it done and cancelled Wicked. So I'm like, well, I've got a haircut at 8.45am appointment. It was insane. It was the last minute. It was pre-Wicked. I thought I was going to Wicked so I got it done and cancelled Wicked so I'm like, well I've got a haircut at 8.45am in the morning. So I took it.

Anyway, I was getting it done and then Stephen woke up and this would probably be like 9.20am and he FaceTimes me and I'm sitting there phoning my crotch, my lap, right? As you do. And when you're getting your haircut, as you both know, you're kind of aware that whatever you have on your phone, the hairdresser could see.

Wait, was this mid haircut? Yeah. Oh, because my hairdresser, Franco, is quite strict about like phones away. A, you'll get fucking hair all over it. B, if you keep looking around and having your head down like so, I'm going to fuck up the measurements. It'll be uneven. Jesus. Maybe that's the long hair thing.

But he's very like, no, don't look at your phone. Look straight ahead. Good posture. Oh, I could not do that. Even if I cross my legs, he goes, ah, ah, that's going to throw it off. Can't cross your legs. With all due respect, your hair's lovely, both of you, but it's not a work of art. Like, you don't need to get a spirit level out on the top of your skull and go, make

sure we get the equilateral angle correct. I think he does a fabulous job. He does a fabulous job. Well, mine's a lot more straightforward. Oh, and my new hairdresser's name is Mitch. Oh, that's so funny. Gay. Neither of us asked.

Yeah, he is actually gay. Is he? He is very gay. Well, you didn't need to tell me the name. He my new hairdresser's name is Mitch. Oh, that's so funny. Neither of us asked. Yeah, he is actually gay. Is he? He is very gay. Well, you didn't need to tell me the name. He's a hairdresser. So I'm sitting there and Stephen calls me and my hairdresser, Tim, who I love and adore, is sitting there. Yes, he is.

He's so gay. He's sitting there copying my hair. We're talking about Drag Race. Gay. Gay. Gay, yes. Thank you very much. Waiting for that one.

And anyway, it's FaceTime. So I'm sitting there and I go, answer it. Gay. I'm pausing for this one. Stephen's butt naked. Gay. Yeah. And about getting ready or getting in the shower.

And then I go, oh, fuck. And I make such a big deal out of it. So I don't even know if Tim has seen poor Stephen nude. So I go, oh, fuck. And Tim looks down and thinks he's cut my ear. So he's like, what? And I'm like, oh, no. Like, put my phone in my lap.

This is me on the fly. What's with all the fucking FaceTimes that you two do? Are we only FaceTime? I know. We don't phone call. Because every time he calls you when we're mid-recording, it's, hey, we're doing the podcast. A quick pan around the room and I have to bloody wave and carry on like I'm the queen.

Is it just me on the fly? But are FaceTime relationships more beautiful than phone call relationships? I do love a FaceTime relationship, but not exclusively. Fuck. No, it's not. It's not. Especially when you're butt naked. That's a risk.

And you know what? Gay. That's what it is. It is. It's great. That's already the episode title. G-A-Y. Gay.

Gay. Gay featuring Steven. That's great. Anyway, speaking of, he'll be joining the show later on. Yes, he will. Fully clothed. Welcome to the show. It's Is It Just Me?

Every episode we start the same with something we've noticed, something we goddamn hate or something. Let me tell you, I appreciate. And is it just me each? Yeah. Mitch does not know mine. I don't know Mitch's. It's a tale as old as time.

Yeah. We're all going in a bit blind today. You don't know what questions I'm going to ask your beloved gay boyfriend. No, but you've also asked the idiots. I have. So these are going to be some fans. Some of the questions are anonymous, as usual, but most people sign their name. There's nothing nasty.

Don't stress. Yeah, alright. Are some of them gay? Yeah. Just by default, all of them are gay. I was going to say, by default, Jenna. If you're going to say, Jenna, it has to be gay. Sorry. Gay! Yeah, that works. Yeah, definitely. Shall we jump in? Shall I go first? Sure. What have you got? Alright, go Bradley. Come on, mate.

Is it just me or? Have you never actually seen a crane lying on its side? Think about it. Is that it? Yes, that's it. How dare you? Cranes, we see them all the time. Yeah.

You only ever see them high up in the sky, building buildings. But I've never seen anyone get that crane to that spot. Oh, dismantle it. I've never seen it on its side on the back of a truck. I've never seen pieces of a crane. I've never seen the bottom half of a crane. I only ever see a crane, excuse my French, fully erect. Gay.

That's going to get old really quick. I can already tell. How do they get the cranes up? how do they transport them and where do they transport them? It's true. It folds down. It doesn't fold down. Yeah, I've seen them on the trucks and they fold down.

Okay, so that's my question. How many lines do you fold it in half? Is it like origami? Yes. I kind of always picture them to be like a car antenna for the radio where it just retracts like an umbrella. But I don't think that's the case. See, this is one of those things.

This is why this podcast is so good and will continue into the future for years because we don't ask these big questions. How do trains get erect? Get up. Cranes. Cranes. You said trains. Anyway.

My point stands. I'm confused about that as well, but that's for next week. Your point does stand because I've Googled like crane before and after and I can't find anything that shows what they look like before they get up. Well, Jenna claims- What would I Google instead of before and after? Like a crane folding down or something. Well said.

Real straight to the point. Why don't you search how do they transport cranes? These are all just fully functioning cranes. How do they get to that point? You're right. I'd never thought about this. Here. Like this, as you can see.

But where's the rest of it? That's just a truck. No, here. It's folded up. Jenna, that's a forklift. No, it's folded. That's not a crane. It goes in. Jenna, I'm talking about cranes that go up skyscrapers. Oh, hang on. By the looks of this, they use the crane to, not unlike building Lego, build upon the rest of the crane. Oh.

They use the truck bit to like chuck a bit more ladder there, a bit more ladder there. They just sort of build it. Isn't that interesting? Well, there you go. You've got your answer. Well, I just have never seen one. So if you see a crane on a truck being driven to be erected, please send me a photo of the erection.

Okay. You know what I was thinking recently? Speaking of, I swear I've never seen one. What? Is it just me on the fly? Do RDTs actually exist? What's an RDT? Random drug test.

RBTs, I've had a million and one. Absolutely. And sometimes when you can see them doing a random breath test on the side of the road, you know how you don't always get told to pull over? Yeah. Sometimes, you know, it's full. So they'll just be like, yeah, keep going. They've got that paddle and they go, you need to get it.

Yes. They're like, nah, keep going. And I'm like, thank God I'm hammered um i've never seen a random drug test i have i've been drug tested have you yeah i have once it's a blue scrape but in the in the southern shire there's a cocaine epidemic so they do it in the areas where it's made i'm from poking gaiety syria so they give you a little scraper and you scrape your tongue and then it's like it's literally like a tongue scrape i. I saw it at King's Cross. Really?

That checks out again, yeah. See, my worry is I think, God, it'll be that one time that they do drug test and then I've had an edible gummy a week ago. But it metabolises in your system after two weeks, so it actually can stay in your system for quite a while. Apparently my psychiatrist warned me that my dexamphetamines, if random drug tested, will show up as ice. Why?

Goodness. Like the cops will actually say, you're on ice according to this. And then once they take me back to the station, the more advanced test will tell them, no, he's not. But that's why I now have to carry a letter in my glove box from my psychiatrist saying, I swear he's not fucked off his face. I swear. Because anyone sitting there sweating with the Dexy sweats, sweat patches on your shirt,

the dryers, fuck them out. I promise it's not ice. I go, I don't believe you. Exactly. Anyway, are you ready for my Is It Just Me? Yes, hit us. Is it just me or? Do you love a good crack?

Oh. What do you mean? Like butt crack Yes I do definitely I think mine's coming on the show soon enough I'm not talking about anything gay Don't worry What do you mean? Chiropractor crack

Yeah But not even with a chiropractor involved Just like when you crack your neck Or crack your back accidentally Hey listen Oh don't Ready? Oh See I know that it's not good for you But fuck it's satisfying It is good for you That's an old wives tale or crack your back accidentally. Oh, don't. Ready?

See, I know that it's not good for you, but fuck it's satisfying. It is good for you. That's an old wives' tale. Yeah, but it's probably not good to continuously crack things. Yeah, that's true. You know what it is? It's air bubbles moving between the joint. I know. That's all it is.

So the problem I now have is that, because you know how I've had a crook neck for ages, bunged shoulders. Yeah, you're really in the war. They've a crook neck for ages, bunged shoulders. Yeah, you're really in the war. They've been giving me grief for many, many years. That's why the show's ending, but we don't want to address it. I'm basically crippled. It was all brought on from that fucking RSI I got from overworking here one day with the poor ergonomics and whatever.

All the secondary injuries that came from my hand being in a splint, they're worse than the hand ever was. And so I was really applying myself going to physio because I'd had enough of all this bullshit. I've done such a good job at physio that I don't crack anymore and I miss it. Really? I miss it. Wait, you mean you're so limber, your body doesn't produce any gases?

You don't crack? I guess I've just built up the right amount of shoulder strength and neck strength, which I've been literally doing on purpose. So I don't have as much pain, which is great. I don't. But also sometimes it's satisfying when it happens. Like if I just turn my head and it goes accidentally, I'm like, God, that felt good. It just doesn't do it anymore.

What about your fingers? Can you try and crack them? Never been able to do that. Oh God. Yeah, me too. Oh, there was one. I've got a new addiction. Fantastic.

But no, I seriously miss it Especially the neck I used to like If I rolled my shoulders back Yeah And then took an inhale My neck would go Really

Nothing I miss it You know what I can do If I like push my neck My head down in a weird way It cracks like the top three vertebrae Yeah And they're deep

And they are Like there's a release Like it cracks is it sort of that point where it's upper back but lower neck that's yeah i missed that that's good you know what i used to be able to crack speaking of long lost cracks um and i should call him um my sternum yeah my sternum used to crack like right here so i used to be able to push and it would crack and then i would get this flush of release in my chest and it was incredible.

But then I cracked it so much that it would crack when I was like laughing or like dancing, you know. On one of our first dates, it might have been our third date or something. Are we talking about that finally? I meant Sean, obviously. One of, I think it was the third date we were saying goodbye and we weren't at the point where we were kissing goodbye yet. Yeah, because you didn't famously kiss until like the fifth date or something. I think it was the fourth. Fourth were saying goodbye and we weren't at the point where we were kissing goodbye yet. Yeah, because you didn't famously kiss until like the fifth date or something.

I think it was the fourth. Fourth, okay. Famously. Still premature. And I had to fucking go in for the first kiss, obviously. I had to make the first move. Crack, yeah. So anyway, he was just hugging me goodbye.

And as he hugged me, my whole neck just goes. And he was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I was like, no, do it again. Oh, that was so good. He thought that he'd really fucked my spine, like done some serious damage. But I was like, that felt spectacular. And I miss it. I actually miss being able to be cracked.

Well, you could go to chiropractors, but they're kind of a bit. It's like, I know you go to chiropractors, Jenna. I do love them. The one I go is very good. I found the physio to be far more effective for pain management, but the satisfaction of the crack isn't there. Where do you get cracked, you guys? It's private.

It's your imagination. No, but like how? I've just never been to a chiropractor. I just don't know how they do it. Is it a press? Do they fold you? No. They'll put their hand between the shoulder blade

and then put your hand in a certain position and then just... Shoulder crack. Interesting. A good neck one. Because at my chiropractor, they put like similar to that Thames machine blade and then put your hand in a certain position and then just shoulder crack. Interesting. A good neck one. Yeah. Because at my chiropractor, they put like similar to that Thames machine we had the other week. Oh, the labor simulator. Yes.

Yeah. So they put that on, especially my neck and like this other laser, first of all, for like 20 minutes before actually cracking it. Before cracking it. They laser beam it, then they do a full PET scan and the radiation kicks in. And then after the crack, he has this amazing machine that stretches your neck, so you lie down.

They're all over my TikTok. And it stretches it. Oh, it's the best feeling ever. A lot of cracks. Oh, so many. Again, I miss it. How does it stretch it? Puts it in a winch of sorts.

Yeah, it moves up and down, like the machine where your neck is. See, I'm not allowed to get any manipulation because my spine, my blades herniate in that area. I'm not allowed to get chiropractic. No. Anyway. I wouldn't be a fan of you. Maybe I'll just start having terrible posture on purpose so that the cracks come back.

Yeah, you need to retroactively get the cracks back in your life. Because I've done such a good job at repairing everything that now I just won't crack. Mitchell, hunch. Yeah. You're too straight. Yeah, good. Yeah, I need to round the shoulders forward. And kind of claw won't crack. Mitchell, hunch. Yeah. You're too straight. Yeah, good. Yeah, I need to round the shoulders forward. And kind of claw your hands up as well.

Yeah. Yeah. And shoulders up higher. It's like the old Mitchell's back. Oh, he's back. Remember me? I missed you. I look like a fucking dinosaur.

Is it just me? You're listening to a couple of Mitches, but not for long because obviously podcast's over. No, I love you guys. I love you both so much. My first friends in Sydney, and I can't believe that you've been making this pod for five years, and I've known you guys for longer than that.

What a flex. I'm like, my famous friends, the Mitches. No, I'm very proud of all of you. Not Jenna, though. Love her in a different way, the Mitches. No, I'm very proud of all of you. Not Jenna, though. Love her in a different way, a separate personal capacity. So proud of you guys for everything that you've done. And making a podcast is hard work. And I just can't believe you've been doing it five years.

So, so cool. Can't wait to see what you guys go on to do next. And just love you. So proud of you. Mwah, mwah, mwah. Oh, and P.S. It's Tony. Tony Lodge. Tony Louise Lodge.

Sorry. Oh, my God. I love that woman so much. Thank you, Tony. My first enemy. I don't even remember that being a thing. Yeah, before I met Nat Penfold. Of course.

And then I fell in love with Tony. Of course. I'm in love with Tony. That is, she is the best. Thank you, Tony. We love you. Mitchell, that was Tony. That is, she is the best. Thank you, Tony. We love you. Mitchell, that was beautiful. It's so funny that she's the voice of this show and then that went into that.

That was so natural. A lot of people have never clocked that Tony was our VO girl because she kind of put on a VO voice. But yeah, it's been her all along. Tony of the Tony and Ryan fame. Tony Louise. They're going to keep coming as the show ends and that's making me sad. Yes, I'm trying to get some shout outs from old guests. Are you also getting messages going, can't wait to see what you do next?

I've got no plans, genuinely. I'd like to rest, please, for a little bit. I've said it before, I genuinely could become the next Cath Day Knight, just doing tape course after tape course. I'm going to be bored. But you love podcasting, is it? I honestly don't see you not podcasting. Yes, but as John Laws once said, it's time for a rest.

Yes. No, I agree. I'm with you. Likewise. And Jenna, honestly, what you were telling me before about the collab you're doing with Vush, I'm so excited for people to see. Thank you. That clitoral stimulator.

I'm really excited. Hit. All right. Speaking of gay, shall we bring in- No one was speaking of gay. Oh, yeah, true. We were talking about hit. Well, Stephen could pass.

My beautiful boyfriend. Oh, please. Shall we bring in... No one was speaking of Gage. Oh, yeah, true. We were talking about hair. Well, Stephen could pass. My beautiful boyfriend. Oh, please. Shall we bring him in? It is time to get even, Stephen. Is he here? He's here, yeah. I heard there were train delays. He's rocked up, yes.

Yeah, we actually bought him an Uber on the kiddio. I don't think I cleared that with you, but... No, that's fine. As long as he keeps the docket, all good. He will. He's just waiting outside. Oh, fuck me. We'll bring him in.

All right, let's get him. Hang on. I'm going to have to turn his mic on. Admin chat. Sorry, idiots. Actually, Jenna, can he use your mic? They should sit next to each other. Yeah. We'll bring him in. Hang on. I'm going to have to turn his mic on. Admin chat. Sorry, idiots. Actually, Jenna can hear you with your mic. They should sit next to each other. Yeah. Scooch over. Stephen's here. Welcome,

darling. Oh, of course, he's repping the I'm with Idiot shirt. He's loyal. Love that. Hello. He's wearing our merch. He's wearing my merch. You smell very nice. Is that Tur wearing my merch. Hi, Chook, welcome. You smell very nice. Is that Cheery's shirt?

It's bloody big on you. No offence. A little oversized fit. Is that my shirt? I do enjoy that you actually listen to the podcast. Do you listen to all of Cheery's other shows? I do when I'm in the car. What's your favourite?

The night show. Yeah. Wrong answer. Bam, bam. Oh, yeah. Sorry, guys. Is it just me? No, you should. We, bam. Oh, yeah. Sorry, guys. Is it just me? You should have been the correct answer.

No, you should. We're terminal. It's the right thing to do. Welcome to the show. How are you? Welcome. Welcome. I'm good, guys. You look so cute.

Pop the mic a little bit closer to your face if you wouldn't mind. Yeah, just pull. There you go. There we go. Gorgeous. Now we can hear you. So you do listen to us. I have to ask.

You might have noticed I've eased up on the jokes about the age difference. Yeah, kind of. It just feels a bit bad knowing you now. I've made most of them before we'd even met. But did they ever bother you, the jokes about you being young? I mean, no, not really. Oh, that's good. And so the next question is when you go to Woolworths,

are you entitled to the free fruit for kids? I don't eat fruit. I don't take it. That joke clearly fell flat, but I've got a whole other thing to unpack here. What do you mean you don't eat fruit. I don't take it. That joke clearly fell flat, but I've got a whole other thing to unpack here. What do you mean you don't eat fruit? Kids eat the fruit. I don't eat the kids' fruit. I just realized today I haven't eaten fruit or vegetables in, oh my God, like three days.

It's so bad. What's three days? I thought you were going to say years. That's fine. It's probably a week. I'm being generous. What do you eat? Last night I just had prosciutto for dinner. Yeah, he sent me a text message. Like it was a charcut I'm being generous. What do you eat? Last night, I just had prosciutto for dinner.

Yeah, he sent me a text message. Like, it was a charcuterie board for dinner. He just had a variety of different meats and cheeses. Saturday, Saturday. Yeah, very Fadan of you. Nice. But no age jokes. This is a safe space.

I didn't make any jokes about Sean being a Trump supporter, so you can't make any jokes about- He would actually behead you if he heard you say that. I know. I don't. That's why I said it. Yeah. I do love Sean.

How are you feeling? Are you excited? Oh my gosh. A little nervous. This is so alien to me. I know. That's what I said. He's not in the industry.

Hey, can I give you a tip? If you take the headphones off, it's less fucking weird. You just feel like you're in a room talking to us. Oh. Okay. Now it does feel like a conversation. I hate them anyway. They break my hair.

Also, my advice is just don't worry about speaking too much. We'd rather you speak more than less. So just speak. Don't put words in my mouth. Just be you. Okay, yeah. You can get on a soapbox. Yeah, no need.

No need for any political opinions. You do have Sarah to thank for this. She's the one that suggested getting Stephen on. So tick. That's off the bucket list. Thanks, Sarah. So we've established that the night show is your favourite show of his, which is hurtful. Which colleague does he bitch about the most at home?

And why is it Britt Hockley? That's actually very much not true. That joke went well. Not true. You don't really complain about your colleagues. Don't lie to my face, Stephen. I hear whinging, but yeah, not really about co-hosts or colleagues. No.

Who did the right answer? Well, he's got to be political. I'm very political. We are in the building and, you know, there are people that are surrounding that probably have, you know. Imagine if he just went, Duncan Campbell, next question. He's the big, big boss. No, I talk very highly of Duncan, don't I?

I actually love him. You do, yeah. He's a sweetheart. You seem to love what you do. I was going to ask you that. Okay, this is a good question for you, actually. He seems to love what you do. I was going to ask you that. Okay, this is a good question for you, actually. He seems to love what he's doing. What's he like out of work?

Because obviously he has to decompress. He's been the class clown all day. He often doesn't let on, especially to listeners, how, you know, anxiety can be an issue from time to time. What's he like behind closed doors at home? I think kind of what you see is what you get. You can tell when you're off work or what you do for a job but you do have moments of kind of like quiet at the end of the day i have to otherwise i'll go crazy i want to hear your side of the story when it comes to the

first date because all you've told us is that um initially hit Steven up on Grindr, right? Cherry's up, right? Yeah. And you said no at first because he pitched a yogurt date and you were like, mm-mm. I didn't say no. I was very open that I don't, this isn't a no. I don't like fro-yo. I don't love sweet things.

So just confirming, frozen yogurt date is a bad idea in your head. Yeah. I mean, now I'm a little changed. He's not a keeper. I'm sorry. I love frozen yogurt. He's changed. I'm a little changed. I like yo-chi. They're fucking sorry. I love frozen yogurt. He's changed. I'm a little changed.

I like Yochi. They're fucking gorgeous, hey? How about this Yochi? We got premium. I've got him on the premium frozen yogurt. We would never, like, go to Yogaberry. Oh, my God. It's Yochi or nothing. Yochi or yogurt. I agree. But you know what? You could actually debunk this right now because you have the screenshot saved. So wait, you said no

initially, correct? No, I didn't really say no. You did! You didn't go for frozen yogurt. He said, I'm having a bar. Get the screenshot. I wait, you said no initially, correct? No, I didn't really say no. You did! You didn't go for Frozen yogurt. He said, I'm having a bar. Get the screenshots out. I said, not right now maybe. Get the screenshots. Get the screenshots. I demand screenshots. Receipts. So what was the tone of it? It wasn't like a, get fucked, mate.

It was just like, maybe another time. Is that the vibe? It was sweet. I remember it wasn't a rejection. But he hates sweets. Now you know me. You Like, I remember it wasn't a rejection. But he hates sweets. Yeah, probably. Now you know me, you recognize that moment. I wasn't saying no. He was not rejecting.

In fact, it was like an emphatic, yeah, I want to see you, but I'm in the bath with my Baileys. It was just very literal. Like, guys, I- In the bath with Baileys? That sounds like a gorgeous time. Have you discussed that entire story on- I don't think I've even gone there. No.

Which story? Oh, just the circumstances in which we met. Yeah, I've told the story. Hit him up on Grindr. You said no at first. And then how long was it between the Yochi pitched date? Well, I want you to read the exact moment. Because this is the first time we've ever spoken.

I'm going into the hidden album. Be very careful, Jenna. Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't be so confused about why we keep screaming gay. Yeah, I know Alright Hey

Hey man Wait wait wait Who's from who? You need to say It's an audio media What's blue? Blue's you? Yeah me

You said hey X I said hey man And you sent a bunch of photos Hey man I don't know Are you just a job site? Hey man Just laid some brick

And then I didn't actually Screenshot Quite a lot of it I screenshotted bits and pieces Did it cut straight to Phil? Is that why you didn't actually screenshot quite a lot of it. I screenshotted bits and pieces. Did it cut straight to Phil? Is that why you didn't screenshot it? No, I said, oh, your smile's so cute.

Why are you hiding it? Because in one of the pictures, he's kind of not really showing his full smile. No, I'm not. It's a bitzer. He's trying to look all stern. To come fuck me eyes. Is that what you're trying to go for? Yeah. Yeah, right.

Okay. He said, I'm not hiding. Look at those choppers. Out and proud. And then I didn't respond. He sent a teeth pic. Wow, that's not what Grindr's He said, I'm not hiding. Look at those choppers. Out and proud. And then I didn't respond. He sent a teeth pic. Wow, that's not what Grindr's designed for, I have to say. There was a little bit of a pause and he said, so can I see more of you?

No, because Stephen's photo was not, there was no, your name wasn't even on it. It was just S. All very mysterious. And it also didn't have your age. You just had S. And then it had just a photo from your chin up. Like it was very mysterious. Oh, like really zoomed in.

Yeah. So I was like, I'd like to know. I just want to see more. And that's it. But the first date from there was at a cocktail bar. Hang on. My question wasn't answered. The frozen yogurt, you said no.

How long was it between that and the cocktail bar? Four weeks. Four fucking weeks. Who was the one being more persistent? I think at the time we were just both really busy. You went down to Melbourne. He's not that busy. I had things happening.

It just didn't line up for a while. Also, you were dating other people and I was like, there was a roster. You had other, like, there were, no? No. Okay. Do you think that one was doing more of the chasing than the other? No, it was very even. I didn't feel that, no.

But we moved to Snapchat. Yeah. And we talked every day. I know, on Snapchat. No, it was very even. I didn't feel that, no. But we moved to Snapchat. Yeah, and we talked every day. I know, on Snapchat. We spoke every day on Snapchat. And then you eventually met up after four fucking weeks. Correct, yeah. Were you like, holy shit, he's tall? What was the first reaction?

Oh, definitely he gives short king from pictures. Right? Everyone says that. Everyone says that. I wonder why. You're really tall. Very tall. Yeah, you are very tall.

Every time people see photos of us together, Mitch, they're like, I didn't realise Coons was so short. That's not the case. No, you're very average. Yeah, thanks. I'm just gigantic. Yeah, so okay, first impressions. This is cute.

I'll let you speak. Sorry. Very gorgeous. Very handsome. I think you had an egg in your hair as well. Oh my God. What? Our first date was the day that we recorded from your house where you

threw an egg in my hair. That's right. And remember I was like, I've got to go, I've got to date, I've got to go. I smashed an egg on your forehead. I raced to the date, didn't have time to wash my hair, so I just winced it in some water, changed my full outfit and went on the date with yolk in my hair. Did you believe the story when he explained why there was egg in his hair?

I didn't question it. Oh, fair enough. I figured, you know, you're a very confident guy. I bought it all. There's a reason he's got egg in his hair? I didn't question it. Oh, fair enough. I figured, you know, you're a very confident guy. I bought it all. There's a reason he's got egg in his hair. Yeah. He's a well-presented man. That's his style. Yeah.

Okay. So first date, was that very much like mine and Sean's first date where it was like, oh, I'm not going to put out too early on? Was it civil romantic or? Yeah, it was mostly civil, I think. It was just drinks. Yeah, right. And I got very drunk.

I didn't know you didn't drink. Yeah, well, I haven't really drunk since, but at that point I was drinking. God, you're a liar. I haven't drunk since. I haven't, no, not really. Very sober. No, he's definitely not a big drinker, but you already told us that you went on a fucking picnic at the netball court and you had wine.

Yeah, I didn't drink. Oh, that was embellishment. I didn't bring wine that night. You didn't bring wine. Well, I did have it, but it felt really weird being in netball court with kids playing. Yeah, that's true. There were kids there? There were kids playing netball.

I thought it was after dark. It was. They were playing netball in the evening. It was night training. It was like an elite squad of girls, I think. It was like the Supreme New South Wales Jazz. They made me feel so unfit. They did.

And we're like playing DS. Like, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. And these girls are like playing netball. So there was no wine. No. No. That changes everything. Was there still the cheese platter and shit?

It was honestly just us freezing cold in jackets playing DS. That sounds so much more unpleasant than he made out. It's different from how I imagined. But it was still a thoughtful idea. It was a very good idea. I will admit. We did kiss on the first date. Okay, that's what I was getting at.

Yeah, at a park, and then I got your number. Mm-hmm. And we moved off. And I never give numbers to people. No, he doesn't. Why the FaceTimes, by the way? What FaceTimes? Constant FaceTimes.

Never a phone call. Oh, I guess I phone call when I'm driving. Smart, yes. Do you FaceTime other people or mainly call other people? Oh, not really FaceTime other people? Or mainly call other people? Oh, not really FaceTime other people. I just call other people. Because he did tell us about the unfortunate FaceTime earlier that the hairdresser copped a glimpse of. Tim, really?

That's alright. Saw everything, warts and all, and you should get that checked. Scratch that from the record, no warts, excuse me. No, there's no warts. Is there anything else that is embellished that you'd like to set the record straight about, sorry, gay about? Because we've now learned, there's no warts. Is there anything else that is embellished that you'd like to set the record straight about? Sorry, gay about. Because we've now learned that there was no wine or cheese on this fucking netball court date.

Oh, my gosh. How long is this podcast? Not long enough. As long as you need it to be, bub. No, no, no, no, no. I'm sure I could make an itemized list of all the things, but most stories do tend to be embellished. Yes, we've accepted that. It's the job. It's ridiculous.

If your partner came home with flour on them, you wouldn't tell their friends, we've accepted that. It's the job. It's ridiculous. If your partner came home with flour on them, you wouldn't tell their friends, like, oh, and they're a baker. Oh, they're always coming home with flour on them. It's like, yeah, they're a baker. It's their job. Wait, what? It's their job to have flour on them.

They're a baker. It's our job to embellish. Every story you tell is embellished as well. Oh, right. No, it's honestly not. I don't have the fucking brain power to embellish on the fly like that. I believe that's what the art form is, embellishment. Yeah, but I feel like you have a large imagination. I do. A lot is going on. It's honestly not. I don't have the fucking brain power to embellish on the fly like that. I believe that's what the art form is, embellishment. Yeah, but I feel like you have a large imagination. I do.

It's very creative. And guess what? I've monetized it. I've had to really adjust to it because I think the first time I heard myself discussed on this podcast was that date in, where was it? Oh, the National Park. We got locked out. Mitch mentioned National Park.

We actually did get an anonymous question saying, was Stephen the mystery man on the date when you got trapped in the National Park? Have I never said that or revealed that? I think it was still a mystery at that point. Yeah, that was me. And as a person who loves the truth and tiny details and remembers everything. Seeing I'm with you like that, I actually don't embellish because I just don't know how.

Listening to that story, the main part of the story is completely correct, but it was like these little details I got caught up on, like the location. I was like, it wasn't in the national park. I don't know why, but that stuff gets to me. It was in the shire. But it was a giant park. How did he get locked in the shire? It was at the end of a cul-de-sac.

Just a random public car park. Yeah, right. In the water. Gotcha. But the national park service had to come and help us because they were going to all the national park lands. Because that was their job. Yeah. Some security guard, I don't know.

But you know what? Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, I find. Like, come on. I've learnt that now. Yeah. That's how you tell a good story. I love how he says, make my peace with it. He still doesn't love it, but he loves you.

I don't know why everyone's got a problem. You want boring stories at dinner time? Sure. Yeah, we got locked in a car park in Cronulla. So we sort of touched on this already, but Liz from Davo wants to know. Hi, Liz. She says, got a soppy one for you, Stephen. What first attracted you to Mitch?

Oh, I think just it was definitely the smile at the beginning. The teeth pick. I thought, so cute. Well, he just looks really cute. What about like the first date when it was beyond pictures and looks and whatever? What hooked you in? I think coming to mind is why you're very charismatic, like very incredibly charismatic. Were you nervous that he's a public figure?

No, that didn't really register to me because I'm very young and I don't listen to the radio. But he listens to podcasts. Yeah. I'll take that as a yes. Only our podcast. I didn't listen to the radio. But he listens to podcasts. I'll take that as a no. Only our podcast.

Stephen had no idea who I was. Not that there's any reason to, really. But had no idea. Couldn't care less. In fact, your friends cared more than you did. I care. I respect it. I support it.

Yeah, you do. 100%. Oh, you're very supportive. Tell them what your parents did. How your dad Googled and then went back and listened to an interview. Who did I interview that he loved? Adam Lambert. Yeah, he's he loved? Oh, Adam Lambert. Yeah, he's like, he's interviewed Adam Lambert.

I don't know why that registered for him, but that was the celebrity where he's like, oh my goodness, this is real deal. Of all fucking people. Of all guys in the world, Adam Lambert. What do the parents think of him? Yeah, I guess he's the first partner that anyone in the family has really brought home.

But they really love you now. I feel like they accept you as part of the family. I think it's very cute. You say love him now. Was that not always the case? I just think parents obviously don't know someone's intentions. So they're always on the defense for their kid, right? So you can understand where Jed and I are coming from.

What are your intentions with my Mitch? Intentions? Look after him. And? Nurse him. I don't know, guys Jenna and I are coming from. What are your intentions with my Mitch? Intentions? Look after him. And? Nurse him. I don't know, guys. Fuck around and find out. I get it.

Yeah, we get it. This has nothing to do with you, but Jennifer wants to know, what was your gay awakening? Because we have spoken about this. Mine was Billy Elliot. What was mine? I can't remember. Oh, Brazilian butt boys. Yeah, that was it.

The calendar app. You've mentioned the Brazilian butt thing so many times. It's true. It's my gay awakening. In real life, you talk about it a lot. It must have was it. The calendar app. You've mentioned the Brazilian butt thing so many times. It's true. It's my gay awakening. In real life, you talk about it a lot. Like, it must have had a big impact on you. Well, maybe I'm telling you to put on some Speedos and get a fake tan. Yeah, because mine was the Billy Elliot scene where the two boys were kissing, and I was

like, oh, really? Oh, God, please don't say something young. Like, the other night we went to watch Shrek the Fourth. I'm like, this came out so recently. Like, let's both watch it for the first time. I saw that at a year two school excursion. Yeah, it wasn't even the best out of all the shreks that's what you said yeah i can't really pinpoint a gay awakening i don't know oh wait maybe here we go maybe it was when i was really little and christina aguilera i heard candy man i watched the music video and i

was like oh my gosh i really want to make choreography to this. So it wasn't a man that made you realise attraction. It was just like this. It's some gay behaviour. It was a moment where I'm like, I don't think other boys my age are doing this. What about the sewing machine you had or the little dolls that you used to create? I do like sewing. It's very interesting.

I can't really sew, it's I was interested in it When I was younger I used to like Project Runway See those are signs I would say Yes Like I used to enjoy

Playing with Bratz dolls More than buying articles Yeah So that's a sign But I'm talking like The actual If you don't have a moment But I remember the moment

Being like Oh my god Man oh man That's an option Woohoo Hello Yeah Yeah was there a man

Like watching porn Did you watch straight porn Then the gateway to gay porn That was everyone's sort of... I mean, Jenna's spoken about that. Someone from High Five, perhaps. No comment. Oh, interesting.

Wow. Pleading the fifth. Pleading the fifth, yeah. Abby wants to know, are you guys going to move in together soon? We know you're house hunting, Cherry. Is there enough room for two? I think you've said to me you want to look for your place to be independent in, and I'm right now looking to move out with my sister.

Oh, yeah. So we'll see where things end up. Yeah, don't rush into these things. It took Sean and I a couple of years. Yeah, yeah. No, we're not looking at it now, but I want to buy somewhere. You haven't lived out of home yet, so you want to live with your sister for a bit. Yeah.

So a few years off. With a double bed, ideally. It still blows my mind every time you mention the single bed thing. King single. All that adds is length. That's not extra width, and the width is what I need. You know? Is it just me?

You can follow the show online. Just search couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a little bitch. All right, this question's for both of you guys. Joshua from Houston. Hi, Josh. This is deep, Joshua. In Texas?

I assume so. Actually, it has to be because he's written y'all in the question. That's Texas. What is one thing in y'all's relationship that is specific to keeping it strong and growing? Oh. I fucked that accent, but you heard. No, I understood. Good question.

Very Tom Hanks. I think spending time with each other. I fucked that accent, but you heard. No, I understood. Good question. Very Tom Hanks. I think spending time with each other. I think we're both quality time people and we want to spend a lot of time with each other and that's important to keeping us strong and going on dates. I can tell that you both are quality time kind of bitches because you ripped him away from us, Stephen. Yeah. We'd just gotten him back.

He was being so social and now he's cocooning again With the one he loves Which is fine Yeah I'm only a little bit spiteful I'm very supportive Of his friendships And keeping things going

And I always I think I push you To be social He does He really does I think he's the one That's holding back This double date

We've been talking about For ages It's him you need to convince Not Sean and I I've been trying guys I really want to play Dress to Impress. Absolutely. I thought that was the plan. With me, you, Sean Mitchell. Yeah.

And Jenna. Let's do it. We're down to do it. But you could, yeah. Yeah, we've had this part. This part has happened. We're all down. Why have we had this conversation? Make it happen. No, he's not going to make it happen. You and I are going to have to organise it, doll, but he's going to be the one that needs convincing. It's hard to get in his diary. Get each other's number. I'll talk to you on Snapchat. It's fine.

I'll have to re-download it. Well, my answer to that is I think being friends, like we're actually we get along and we're good friends outside of the romantic relationship which, well, we have the potential to be good friends. I wouldn't say we're friends. We are friends. We're really great friends. Friends who sleep together, but I'm more being like, you know, the basis is friends.

Very. Yeah. This is one just for you, Stephen. It's anonymous. I don't know why they kept it anonymous. It's not spicy one bit. What made you want to become a speech pathologist? Oh, I was always really drawn to therapy. So I was always drawn to helping others.

And then I think part of that decision was I wanted to always talk to people. I didn't really want to work behind a computer all day. Yeah. So I wanted to do a degree where I was chatting day in, day out with people. I didn't really want to work behind a computer all day. Yeah. So I wanted to do a degree where I was chatting day in, day out with people. You were very good at that. Who can't chat back. Necessarily will. They chat back.

See, what does actually speech pathology involve? Can you cure my lisp, for example? That's a loaded question because I feel like lisp, it's like part of queer culture is a queer lisp, right? So I feel like then that becomes a question of, is it right to change culture? So I'm not sure. Yeah, but if I wasn't gay, is that something you can treat people with, like speech impediments and stuff?

Is that what it's all about? Because I don't even know what that is. That's speech pathologies. You know, like stutters. Oh, right. Articulation errors. We also do swallowing. I bet you do.

I'm going to look at my phone because there's still questions that I haven't even opened yet. Oh my God. I'll do some live questions coming through. How are you feeling? Are you enjoying this? Or do you find it uncomfortable? I feel like you're anxious.

I am anxious. Really? I'll just pause the questions for a bit. Fucking deep breaths, everyone. Chill out. It's all good. Let's have some deep breaths. We're all friends here.

Why don't you ask me a question? I'll have a go. Yeah. How was your day? Yeah, not bad. What about you? It's all right. What happened in the Uber?

He just kept talking for ages about really random things and like the future and his opinion of young people. Didn't he say you were a sex worker? He implied it. He implied that you're a sex worker. No, he just was going on about, he wanted to create an app that does everything. And he called the app EX, Exchange, Exam, Explorer. Sounds boring.

And he was talking to me at length and he was talking about young people want everything through their phone these days. They want to tap on their phone. They want sex through the phone. They want everything, blah, blah, blah. And he said, you do really well. And I thought, what? Was he making a move?

No, he told me I could get a girlfriend really easily. Oh, he wasn't unaware. He's a good one, by the way. What's your biggest pet peeve with Cheery and vice versa? Hmm. I need a minute to think. I'll give you an example. Sean always leaves his fucking tissues in his pockets and then there's bits

of shit all through our washing. And the dryer. And then they're all over the carpet. Mine with Stephen is that he puts salt on everything. Has to salt food like crazy. What's wrong with that? No, but food that's already salted, Mitchell. He puts salt, he brings extra salt or asks for extra salt at a fish and chip restaurant to put salt food like crazy. What's wrong with that? No, but food that's already salted, Mitchell. Like he puts salt, he brings extra salt or asks for extra salt at a fish and chip restaurant to put salt on salted chips. Sometimes they're not salty enough.

I'm with you. Yeah, that's true. I'm with Steven. No, Jenna, the other day, Mitchell, the other day we got it and he said extra salt, extra chicken salt, please. They pour the chicken salt on it and he goes, can I have a bit more? And they go, you know what, just keep the container and we'll get it when you guys are all finished.

I really love salt. Fucking chicken salt is the best too. So I don't see that as an issue. And it's not the same when you get it at Coles or anything. No, never. As the same in a little fish and chip shop. I agree. Okay, well now what's mine?

Pet peeve. Oh, you get grumpy sometimes, but. Oh, here we go. About what? Just life, you know, and stress. Yeah. Stress just creates more stress. And that's fine. That's not a pet peeve. God, it's too life. You know, when stress just creates more stress. And that's fine.

That's not a pet peeve. God, he's too nice. Hang on. I just found this is a different question, but similar vein. Is there anything Mitch does that gives you the ick? That's more specific than pet peeve. Here we go. I don't actually believe in the ick.

I agree with you. It's like, I think people look for excuses to not be into someone. Like, I got the ick. It's like, it's people look for excuses to not be into someone. Like, I got the ick. It's like, it's easier than saying, I really don't like this person. Okay, but like a perfect example is what that Uber driver said to you. That's icky, right? Yeah, that's like weird from a stranger. But I wouldn't say, oh, watching my significant other chase a ping pong ball on the floor.

I wouldn't be grossed out by that. See, I don't do petty shit like that. What about the shawl you lacked all I put on my cracked heels and then put socks on? I think that's good that you are fixing yourself. See, he's too pure. He's too kind. It's like a press conference talent. It's fun.

You can rip into shreds. I do it all the time. You can rip into shreds. How do you feel about smutty cheering? I actually think I want to get on this platform and defend the smutty humor. Sometimes, honestly, it's really funny. It makes me laugh. I like hearing the episodes.

You're a filthy little thing too, I can tell. There are moments where you have that really quick wit and I like hearing it. Your mum doesn't like the smut. Like, poor Zeta does listen to the show. There you go. That's true. I've pulled back.

You've pulled back immensely, can I say? Finally. All right, next question. Are you a fan of facial hair, Stephen? This is harking back to Chiri saying ages ago on the podcast. He goes, oh, yeah, I'm not a fan of facial hair steven this is harking back to cheery saying ages ago on the podcast he goes oh yeah i'm not a fan of a mo i hate kissing them but now he's guilty he's got one and i already know the fucking answer it doesn't bother you because he's living his dream no i love it i think i told you i think i told him to get it you did i didn't have the mo when

i first met him and steve you know the the reason, this is the truth. The real reason that I have a mo is for Steven. Because on our first date, I was like, no mo. And then you told me how turned on you were by mos. So I grew it out. And you look handsome. That's so classic. Like you do those things in the early days. Because you're like trying to impress them.

Doesn't this, I'm going to stand up. Does it not look like me? Oh, yeah. And also you've got the beard to go with it. So it blends in. It's when people only have the mo and everything else is clean shaven, then I'm like, keep laughing. I agree.

Sorry. There are times where it's appropriate, though, like the dad in Inside Out. What is it? I haven't seen that movie. Oh, we haven't seen it. Oh, yeah. My therapist keeps telling me to watch it. Is it going to change my life?

Oh, I can't comment on the movie. I just think the character from it, he has that kind of facial hair. Which one was it? The character's actual dad. He's hot. He's got a big, thick moust movie. I just think the character from it, he has that kind of facial hair. Which one was it? The character's actual dad. He's hot. He's got a big, thick moustache. I'm looking at him now. It's not that hot.

Show me. Show me. Is this one I'm thinking of? Oh, really? Not my type. Is that the right one? Yeah. Yeah, nah, it doesn't do much for me.

He's big in online culture. Does that do something for you? Is it really? Maybe it's a younger person joke. I don't know. No, I get it. Oh, don't rabbit in. Can you get to some any saucy questions.

This one says, worst thing about dating an older guy. That's not fair. It's not like he's on the pension. Fuck yeah. It's when he's sent to repayments don't hit. It hits me when he watches Fox News and I'm like, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. And Sky News, right?

I watch it ironically like wearing rollerblades to the beach. I can do it as, like, a joke. I watched because I liked it. It riles me up. I don't actually support or believe. I've said this on the show before. I don't support or believe any of the views on that fucking show. We've got two questions here from two separate people, Kelly and Camille.

They've asked the same fucking question, though, weirdly. Hi, girls. If you were to host a podcast yourself, Stephen, what would it be about? Oh, that's a good question. I love that two people wrote the same question. There's a demand. Yeah. What can I talk about at length?

I feel like I can talk about the history of 2000s clothing. Oh, you do love that. At an extreme length, like old Juicy Couture tracksuits. So that's a bit of a fixation of mine. Oh, is that the one you tried to get me onto? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I did. Stephen's got a collection of vintage Juicy Couture.

So much. It's a problem. Are they like the different colours? There's the blue one, pink, green. The velvet. It's what you would see like Kim K or Paris Hilton walking around Rodeo. In the 2000s. With Juicy on the butt.

Yeah. Juicy Couture, yeah. It's very Kath and Kim. I think that's how Juicy on the butt. Yeah. Juicy, Katoa, yeah. It's very Kath and Kim. I think that's how we got on the topic. Oh, definitely. We also had someone suggest for the bucket list that we get Stephen and Sean on at the same time. Remember that? Oh, yeah. And I was like, no, no, I want to give Stephen his moment. But would it count? Could we

tick that off the bucket list if we just get Sean on the phone? Even if we just say hello and then hang up. Let's dial Sean. That's a good idea. Because we're burning through this bucket list. We're doing a really good job so far. I can dial him. You've got his number, right? I don't have to read it out to you? Hopefully.

Okay, perfect. I assume because you apparently text about politics all the time, which is news to me. Hello? I don't think that's his number. Hello, Sean? I don't know. I think you might have the wrong number.

Oh, sorry. I thought I called Sean. What is this? Oh, I've gotten a digit wrong. Yeah, I was looking up at the screen and I was like, that's not it. How's your day? Has your day been alright? Yeah. Oh, that's good. Yep.

Yoran isn't just me, the podcast, by total accident he dialed the wrong number. So sorry. What's your name? Oh, yes. My name's Karen. Hi, Karen. Sorry to bother you. We'll leave you to it. It's called Is It Just Me? Go listen. Here we go. Sorry. Here we go.

Hello. Hi. It's us. Mitch and Jenna and Stephen. Hello. Hello, everyone. How are you? Yeah, good.

Someone wanted us to get you and Stephen on at the same time, so here we go. Another tick for the bucket list. Lovely. How are you, Stephen? I'm doing good. I've got a microphone in front of me, headphones on. Should we let them host together for a bit? All right.

We'll leave you guys to it. This is going to be the most wholesome segment of the whole show, I'm sure. What have you been up to today? Just working and just coming to terms with world events at the same time. Oh, yeah. That's a heavy topic. I know, I know. Maybe one for a different platform.

Maybe, yeah. But apart from that, all good. How have you been? I've been all right. I've been doing paperwork all week, so I feel a bit brain dead. Oh, God, yeah, it's awful. Yeah, wrapping up my degree, so I'm literally so close. Oh, my God, Are you graduating soon?

Yes. It finishes this year, but then I have a full-on ceremony. I get to wear the cap, the gown. Because you can't hear the 12-year age gap at all. No, not at all. Is it 12 years? 12 years? Well, how old, Sean?

Isn't it exactly 10? I'm almost 32. Oh, and you're 22. No, it's exactly 10 years. Don't age, Sean. Sorry, Sean. I'm aging, Stephen. I'm down as well. Sorry, Sean. I'm almost aging Stephen down as well. Sorry.

I could listen to that for literally seconds, guys. This is even Stevens. This is what this segment is. Sean, we're asking him questions. Got anything to ask him? Yeah, to protect myself and my heart from being heartbroken. So any hard-hitting questions. We're making sure he's the one.

So, Stephen, yes, think about it at length. What's your biggest regret, Stephen, in life? I know you haven't been alive for very long. Okay, yeah, good word. The minutes that you've been here, what's been the thing you regret? I don't know. I feel like I don't live

with regrets. Not even that outfit? This is not a regret. Oh my gosh. He's wearing the Army Thick a regret. Oh, my gosh. He's wearing the I'm with you to get shirt. Yeah, available now. Well, thanks, Sean. We love you. We love you, Sean.

And I made a Trump joke about you in this podcast, but it was very funny and I apologise now. No, it wasn't funny. I jumped right to your defence. He did. Oh, thanks. Okay. That's got me worried, but sure. He said that you were a Trump supporter and I said, take that back.

Sean would fucking slit your throat. Absolutely not. That's unacceptable. Chat to you soon. Love you, Sean. Tipped off the bucket list. Bye, Sean. Oh, sorry, tunnel.

That's so cute. That was cute. I seem to recall you, Stephen, describing Sean as, what was it? It was like the moral compass of the group or something. What the fuck do you mean by that? He's an upstanding moral citizen. Okay. Yeah, no, I agree.

Sean is very good. Like, Sean reminds me, if anyone's seen The Good Place of the character called Chidi, like, he's just very good. Yeah. He's by the book. He's very polite, very kind. But he's also got like a wicked side. And I feel like I haven't done my job right.

I haven't scratched the surface. I haven't found the dark humor in Stephen yet. He's been so pleasant the whole time. Well, this is very foreign to you. Have you ever been behind a microphone and with headphones on? It's not everyone's job. No. Apart from like in a karaoke room, this is very different.

Maybe we should have given you a rosé before we got you in here. Oh, Charles, if I'd known. He loves to drink. Do you want to get you a drink? I mean, I can have a glass. I just have to drive home. Should I go get something? I'm driving here. Oh, Charles, if I'd known. He loves to drink. Do you want to get you a drink? I mean, I can have a glass. I just have to drive home. Should I go get something? I'm driving home.

No, no, don't stress. I'm having my little Coke. Oh, I still want one. Jenna's got a hip flask on. Yeah, I've got mine. Maybe we should wrap things up so that you can go get me one. Do you actually want one? I wouldn't mind one.

Stephen, would you like one? No, thank you. Are you sure? Yeah. Oh, you sound sad. What's wrong? Do I, Stephen? Thank you. I should have rejected that wine more enthusiastically. No, thank you. Are you sure? Yeah. Oh, you sound sad. What's wrong? Do I, Stephen? Thank you.

I should have rejected that wine more enthusiastically. No, thank you. No. Is that your one regret? That was good. That was fucking excellent, Jenna. Jenna, good callback. All right, well, we should go.

That was Stephen, Stephen. Thanks for coming in, darling. Thanks for having me, guys. Do you want to stick around for ADD Brief? Oh, yeah. What's that? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about.

Bye, idiots. Talk to you soon. See ya. Bye. Oh, you don't mention that. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches.

Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief. How fucking dare you, Mitchell. Sorry, that was my fault. I slipped up. You're not supposed to mention it? No, it's a secret segment. We don't have a secret segment. I knew it was coming, guys.

Do you want a drink? Yeah. Okay, I'll get you one. Now it's changed. Now that we're in the secret segment, I want to hear this. Don't worry. I don it was coming, guys. Do you want a drink? Yeah. Okay, I'll get you one. Now he's changed his tune. Now that we're in the secret segment, no one will hear this, don't worry. I don't know what there is, but like a wine. I just saw there's all this alcohol. It's because it's in the office.

It's a Friday afternoon. Everyone's drinking. Yeah, just give me a splash. No, so the rule is that if we've got a guest in here who we're pretty convinced has never listened to the podcast before, i.e. Fadan or Jethro, they're not allowed to stick around for the secret segment. But if someone's aware of it, like you are. I did my research, guys.

Yeah, we're not keeping the secret from you because why the fuck can bother? You already know. Yes. There's a different energy. There's a tonal shift in the ADD. There definitely is. We don't really care what we say, you know.

Yeah. Thank you. Oh, wine out of a coffee mug. This is so classy. I love it. Would you like some? Yes, please. Are we the only ones drinking, though?

Oh, yeah. Well, I guess. This doesn't really drink. Jenna is so classy. I love it. Would you like some? Yes, please. And we're the only ones drinking, though. Oh, yeah. Well, I guess. She doesn't really drink. Jenna? No, not today. No. I feel like that would genuinely put her to sleep. Yeah.

White wine does that. No, you know what's the worst? Red wine. Red wine's yum. What do you mean? When I was your age, I could drink red wine. Yeah? But now, oh, it just knocks me for six, mate.

I'm telling you, the worst headaches, the worst hangovers. Do you know what you should try? Cali Mocho. What'd you call me? It's this Spanish drink. It's red wine and Coca-Cola. It's so good. Oh.

Really? That's something I would never fucking think to pair together. It's really yum. It kind of tastes like a sangria. Yeah, it's because it's got that kind of brown sugar, caramel-y taste with the red wine. It's so good. Do you get hangovers?

Yes. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Shit. I's so good. Do you get hangovers? Yes. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Shit. I don't know if it's a hangover, but it's definitely like, oh, I've done something bad to my body. I don't feel good.

See, there's a regret. That's a hangover. You never regret a night out. Yeah, no. Well, I guess I have anxiety sometimes. Is that a technically regret? Oh, the hangziety. Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah. Really bad hangziety. Yeah, that's nasty. Can we cheers? Yes. Yeah, what do we cheers tozide. Yeah, that's nasty. Can we cheers? Yes. Yeah, what do we cheers to? I thought you never asked. What should we cheers to?

To Stephen. Hang on. That's so sweet. Jenna and I need to deliberate. Block your ears. Oh. Okay. We should leave it up to you whether he's a keeper or not

and whether he's approved. Okay. So it all comes down to this. Jenna decides. Unblock your ears. Unblocked. I was eating snacks. Yeah. I'm back. Could you not talk in your mouth? Sorry. I was deliberating for longer than needed.

Well, we were discussing whether or not you're approved, Stephen. Whether you're allowed into our family. Sacred family. We've decided. No, she's decided. It's Jenna deciding. It's taking quite long. Yes. We've decided. No, she's decided. It's a Jenna decide.

She's taking quite long. Yes. I have decided. Welcome to the family, Stephen. Cheers to that. Stephen being a part of the family. Thank you, guys. That is a massive water bottle.

Jenna's pulled out her hand grenade. So you've got Jenna's pick of approval and now for mine. Oh, God. All right. Yeah, approved. You can start. Okay, sure. Peace and love.

Yay. Oh, I do love you. So you are staying around. Oh, thanks, Mitch. Gabe. Sorry. Thanks, Mitch. Why did you call me Mitch?

Thanks, baby. You're in such a- Do you not call him Mitch ever? Is it always babe or something like that? Right now, it's pup, Papoochie. Yeah, it is. That's our current nickname. Don't make me, Papoochie. Yeah, it is. That's our current nickname. Papachini, Papachino. Yeah, they kind of just, they started something. Yeah, there was

this dog groomer in Cronulla called Papoochie Dog Grooming Service. It was so stupid. Shout out. I love small business names. I love them so much. Do you have an idjim? Is that an idjim? I thought, I have an idjim, I have a drugs and dick or something. Oh, he's got, he's prepared. Okay, anyway, that's actually such a good call. How slack of me. What's your idjim? I thought I have an idjim. I have a drugs and dick or something. Oh, he's prepared. Okay.

Anyway, that's actually such a good call. How slack of me. What's your idjim? I love small business names that are creative and funny. Papoochie. That's my number one example. Dog grooming services. I always look at dog grooming services.

Have you got a running list? I can't think of any at the time. There's a few you've got. Oh, there's Ooh La La. That's another dog grooming service I like. Dog. Like Vogue. Yes. Oh, I get it. Because I was's another dog grooming service I like. Dog. Like Vogue. Yes.

Oh, I get it. Because I was thinking, how did you get that pronunciation? Dog. That's nice. Is it strictly dog groomers? Honestly, yeah. I should have been a bit more narrow and specific with my idgum, but it's just dog grooming services.

I always love looking at their names. Papoochie. Papoochie's the famous one. Our local area in the Shire, we do laugh at Papoochie. Yeah. Just Google local dog grooming services and find all the weird little names that pop up. Yeah. Let's see. Poor Republic. Imagine being in that government.

Welcome to the Poor Republic. It's an authoritarian. Sugar Paws. Instead of sugar teats. I like that. We've got Shaggy Babies. Shaggy Babies. Blooming Tales. I like that. We've got shaggy babies. Shaggy babies. Blooming tales. That's good. I'm blooming tales.

The department store. I don't think you get that. And we've got petfections. Oh. That's a bit of a mouthful. Petfections. I think they're trying to say perfection, but they're through petting it. Oh, petfections. Yeah.

Do you remember that baby sculpture service we passed? Yeah, going to see your grandma. What was it called? It was called Twinkle Toes Baby Hand and Feet Sculptures handed feet sculptures so neat baby hand and feet but if you want your face done no not twinkle go elsewhere yeah yeah that's so stupid we found easy that was a good idea all right now you've got a drugs and dick yeah yeah my apologies i've got the list open this is something that it's a little pleasure in life you know drill. A little pleasure is always just a hot coffee in the morning or small goods like salami for me.

Is that a boring answer? No, it's very literal, but it's fine. I don't think it's boring. How does the drugs and dick usually work? You've always said. It really ranges. Some people will answer it really earnestly and give vague things, but then some people are so oddly specific.

Like, Kate Langbrooks was eating streaky bacon in bed. In bed. Oh, okay. Always in bed. Didn't she say she loved a bacon toasty or something? Oh, no. It was eating streaky bacon in bed. Oh, God.

That's quite clear. Streaky bacon, worst bacon option. I don't even know what that means. Yeah, it's very American. It's like 50% fat, 50% meat, I think. Yeah, the ham that we have is good. Did you have fun? Yeah, it was fun.

This takes the edge off. Oh, we should have boozed you up earlier. Oh, wait, hang on. You're on your P's, so you can't go dead, though. No. Have another one. Have another one. I didn't drive, so.

Oh, but are you guys driving home together? I'll drive, yeah. Also, on the P's jokes, guys. I didn't make P's jokes. That was a fact. No, no, no. When this podcast ends, I'm officially off my peas I get my full license

When? December 23 No when did I ask? Welcome to the family You fell right into it Welcome to the family Welcome You fell right into it

You're one of us Are you going to be honest No I actually wanted to know when And then I saw the opportunity I knew it was coming When do you get it? Evil That was evil

I was half expecting that I had a master plan To do that to you, and now you beat me to it. I would have kicked you out. I was waiting for you. I honestly thought you would. I was waiting because I knew you were going to do it. Well, there's a little red dot on my forehead. Scary.

So wait, when do you get it? 23rd of December. Oh, what a Christmas present, huh? Gorgeous. Yeah. Your car's going to feel so fucking naked without the peas at first. I really struggled. I was like, oh, God, fuck, I forgot them.

I'm excited for it because I feel like it'll make me a less anxious driver. You are an anxious driver. Oh, really? I feel like the green peas are like a target for people to think, oh, you know, they're a shit driver. I can give them a ticket. I can do this. I can do this. Oh, okay.

That hasn't happened, I assume. No, I've never got a parking ticket, but I have got a speeding fine. One speeding fine? One speeding fine. I've lost my license twice, so you're all right with the one speeding fine? We are completely opposite drivers. Yeah, but you've driven with me. I'm a good driver.

I'm just- You get people- Places fast. Yeah. That's true. Do you ever- Here's a question I should have asked. Do you ever feel slightly uncomfortable in the passenger seat with him?

Oh, I guess the other day I was definitely feeling the motions of the car. Sometimes I am not a stop start person. So it was like, oh, I was taxing a little trip to Slovenia. Felt a bit car sick. Yeah, well, I paid for your lunch. So you're lucky that I took you on that bumpy ride. Jenna, any question that is off limits that you think is naughty and raunchy? Yeah, we've got to get out of here soon.

Are you a fan of the Titanic? Oh, my God, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I studied the Titanic. I love the Titanic. We talked about the Titanic on the first date. Gay. On the first date.

Gay, neurodivergent. It means you're into the Titanic. Welcome to the family. When you said neurodivergent, is means you're into it. Exactly. Welcome to the family. When you said neurodivergent, is it rude to ask? What do you got? Because I've got heaps. I've never been formally assessed and I don't want to be. Yeah.

Not that I'm against mental health, but I just am too scared. I don't want to open that can of fish. I don't think you're anything outwardly, but I'm warming like to be gay. Like there's got to be something wrong up there. I think it goes hand in hand. There is a correlation. I'm like, actually don't be gay, like, there's got to be something wrong up there. You're right. I think it goes hand in hand. There is a correlation. I'm like, actually, don't quote me on this. It might be bad science.

But I'm pretty sure there's a correlation between a gender, different gender identity and neurodivergence. Yeah. It wouldn't surprise me. A lot of the neurodivergents all have pink hair. That needs to be investigated. Oh, bitch. I'm just saying.

It's often there's a piercing in the nose and the pink hair. Am I in trouble now? No. It's a joke. All my friends are non-binary. All of them? All of them. All of them.

Thanks. Thanks for that. Fuck off. Thank you. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. Well done.

Yeah. I was not into it. Actually, when I bitched about work, I bitched about that. I'm like, I hate singing. I don't want to sing. Oh, four, oh, two, nine, nine, eight. What's the return? You were so close.

God, you're just like your partner, Mitchell. So close with the lyrics, but never quite nailing it. See, that's the midgetury of it all. If you know 3%, you know 100%. You just give it the three. Yeah. You know? Confident.

Confident man. So you bitched about that. I just hate singing. I hate karaoke. I don't like singing. You've got to have fun. You've got to sing. I still have fun.

Well, thank God we didn't go to an actual singing teacher. Well, that's why I cancelled it. You kept pushing it. I'm like, no, I've got to be honest and truthful, please. That's not even what happened either. I don't remember it. I said, we'll get Oscar first. And if we enjoy that, then we'll go to a proper singing teacher.

Because it'd be so fucking embarrassing in front of a singing teacher being like, I'm out. I'm not into this. That's where you went wrong. Enjoying with Oscar? It would never happen. Oh, that's a joke because... Oh, now it sounds like I really hate him.

Now you know what it's like to have people not laugh at the jokes and then you feel like a fuck. I asked him if he gets the what it's like to have people not laugh at the jokes and then you feel like a fuck. I asked him if he gets the free fruit for kids. No, it's not comedy shows.
