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. So I'll be going to Wicked as a cowboy. What?

Because it's the Halloween weekend. We're wearing costumes and I'm going as a cowboy. To Wicked? Yeah. No, you can't do that. You can't. Imagine if I went to a Titanic exhibition as a Mario brother. It doesn't make any sense.

Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, you. Hello, you. Nice to have you back. Yeah, we're back together. Hello. It's not like we've been apart that long. Calm down.

No, it literally has been days. But it's good to see you. I did miss you. What did we run with? What was the reason I was off? Did anyone say? Oh, I just said that you're taking time out. Oh, yeah, yeah, that works.

Is that pretty accurate? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All will be revealed. Just to keep things dramatic. Time will tell. But he's recovered remarkably well from the surgery, which is good. I have. No, I haven't.

The wound's healed up very quickly, but I'm still on heavy painkillers. The good cheer. We're going to get a loopy cheery today, I feel. Yeah, yeah. Now, idiots, we are live from my penthouse right now. We've just been doing a group bonding activity. We're a bit fucking knackered. We've just had a huge adrenaline rush.

Prizekeeper Jenna, our third wheel, was there too. Yes, I'm so tired. Oh, same. So I mentioned on Monday's episode that we would be going to a smash room together, as I've always wanted to do. And I said that Cheery wasn't keen. He's bailed. So I'm going to go with Roving Porter Oscar instead.

And I literally said on Monday's episode, you weren't here, Mitch. But I said, I bet he's going to change his mind last minute and go, fuck it. I'm coming too. Yeah, I got FOMO. I knew it. I actually think the words were, fuck it, I'm coming. Yeah, that's exactly what you said. I didn't even have to confirm it with you, Mitchell.

I just had a feeling Mitch is coming. Yeah, exactly. When I came here, you arrived. Guys, I came and I conquered and I smashed. Roving reporter Oscar was there as well. So that's all right. And so we're going to play that later in the show, the smash room. We just got handed baseball bats and ceramics.

And oh, my God, there's something so oddly satisfying about fucking shit up you know what i liked i liked not necessarily smashing them but just holding a glass and then dropping it on a concrete floor because you're not allowed to do that in society but to just hold it and drop it and watch it explode the power that was coursing through my veins i'm also going to post a video on our instagram at couple of mitches you'll be able to see the smashing in action um but we'll play that all for you a little bit later on in the episode. Yeah, yeah, no, it was very fun. I will say, though, the two girls that worked there,

we have to say what they said when we walked in. Smash Room City. Smash Room City, yeah, shout out to Smash Room City. We definitely paid, but sure. Smash Room City, if you're in Sydney, go. We walk in and then we go, hi. What did you say? Hi, we're the podcasters. Well, they asked, are you guys here for the recording? Oh, Sydney, go. We walk in and then we go, hi. What did you say? Hi, we're the podcasters.

Well, they asked, are you guys here for the recording? Oh, yes. I said, yes, that's us. We're here. We've got the booking all ready to go. And I did book for four because I knew you'd fucking come last minute. Yeah, you knew. And then they said to us, so will you guys be smashing?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, they said, what will you be doing in the room? Yeah, she goes, all right, you guys are here for the recording, yes said, what will you be doing in the room? Yeah, no, she goes, all right, you guys are here for the recording, yes. And what will you be doing in the room? Will you be smashing things? And I was like, I didn't know I had to clarify. I assumed that was the case when I booked a smash room. Yeah.

We'll be smashing in a room. And then you go, do people do anything other? And then she was like, yeah, you'd be surprised. Yeah, but never elaborate. I said, oh, it also operates as a podcast studio. People do that all the time. People record all the time. Can you imagine if people actually just went in there to record a podcast?

The acoustics weren't great. The acoustics were shocking. And you're about to hear. Also, it was so hot. There was one point where I almost caught cold red. I was like, guys, I need to get out of here. I'm sweating. I could feel sweat dripping down my back.

Yeah, you know that feeling when it starts to run down your spine. The sweat. You're like, oh, bloody hell. And then they made us put – the lady came up to me. Remember she gave me that horse blanket? She was like, all right, everyone, your overalls are here, but you, this one's for you, and pulled out this Californian King single bed sheet and wrapped me in it. I'm like, thanks a lot.

This is me, skinny. And then we had to put latex gloves on and then a second glove on top of it. And again, not spoiling anything, we'll get to it later, but they made us put on helmets and I thought, oh, that's a bit of overkill because I did my hair for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was great.

I wanted to look really cute. The helmet's going to ruin it. Holy fuck, I could have lost an eye if I wasn't wearing that helmet. It was really intense, but we loved it. Yeah, thank God for the helmet. And yes, indeed, we did smash in the room. Yeah. We did.

I didn't think we'd have to clarify. Yeah, we smashed. in the room. Yeah. We did. I didn't think we'd have to clarify. Yeah, we smashed. You know what, actually? The other day I went to, you know, my beloved Pilates studio, Scouts? Yeah, of course, yeah. They opened up a new studio in Red Firm. Oh, really? And I went to the first day, the grand opening,

and the staff were a bit stressed. They were like, yeah, it's mostly finished. We tried to get everything ready for the grand opening of the new studio it's mostly finished like 97 complete and i was looking around going oh it looks pretty fucking amazing like i can't see what work that needs to be done and then i went on the timetable to be like oh what classes should i book into next week and it had on their bar in brackets without the bar i was like oh my god they don't have the ballet bar installed yet, but they're still doing the class?

Without bar. That's kind of important for a bar class. I know. I was like, I'd love to join you for that class, but I'm going to be playing soccer without the ball. Yeah, of course. I'll be doing basketball with no basketball. It's an extra challenge.

It's great. Far out. Good on Scout. That's so good. All right, well, if it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every episode's the same. We start with some idjams, something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine.

I don't know Mitch's. That's it. That's the show. Mine just popped into my mind as we were driving back, you know, an hour ago, driving back to my house from the smash room. What are we going to do when the show's over and we just have these idjams? Can we text them to each other? Maybe that can be like a good way to stay in contact.

Like we have to still give each other two personal idjams a week. Yeah, we could. I don't know. We could do the idjam group chat. Yeah. Oh, I like that. Yeah, true, true. We could do that.

But then I bet that you wouldn't even open it and I'm just idjaming into the void. I would. I actually had a thought. Is it just me on the fly? But are you kind of upset you're not in that many group chats? Like I see memes like the group chat fire, the group chat on point, when the group chat, when you get a laugh in the group chat. I'm in like two and they're very inactive.

What are they? One's for the wordle of the day with some of my friends when we post our wordle results. And then the other one is a family chat. Yeah, I've got my gays. Yeah. And then I've got the girlies, which is like my lesbians, like Aislinn Talisha.

You guys know them. Yeah. And then I've got the family chat. And Sean is the only person that's in all three of them. So if something funny happens in my life, I have to say to Sean, ignore the fact that I'm repeating the same gear. I'll just copy and paste the same joke or the same photo to every group chat.

And he's the only one that knows that it's recycled material. Oh, he knows your secret. Yeah. And he reacts the same way every time. God, he's a good ally. He's very good. Okay. Well, my idjim is something that I noticed this morning in the shower.

There's a lot of things happening in the shower for you. Yeah. Yeah. What was my last one? Something about bar soap. Oh, really? Yeah. Which, by the way, sorry, can I ask you a serious question?

You talked about bar soap and how it's making a comeback in your life. How do you use the bar soap? Okay, the bar soap. Well, I got yelled at. Was it you that brought up Tony and Ryan? No, it was our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots. Someone said, oh, my God, did they just do a Tony Lodge regarding bar soap? And I was like, I don't understand.

So many people sent me that TikTok, and I hate to break it to you, but bar soap is one of the most common things in the world yeah i'm not plagiarizing any content no it wasn't that we were copying them it's that we made the same mistake as tony because she was being called out on the tony and ryan podcast for using bar soap wrong yeah and we were talking about the way we use bar soap and apparently we are also doing it wrong. And I say, fuck that. Who makes the rules? They were saying that you're not actually meant to use the cake of soap itself and spread that throughout the body. You're not meant to run it across the legs. You're not meant to put the cake of soap between your ass crack like I said.

You're meant to just rub it in your hands, soap up your hands, get a bit of foam going and then use the hands. Put the cake of soap down and just spread the bubbles you've created. And I think bullshit. That's fucking bullshit. I'm team Tony. Sorry. I'm team Tony. I'm with you as well.

Absolutely. I do the same. Although kind of a hybrid. Like I do a bit of both. There's so many people laughing at Tony being like, she's been doing it wrong her whole life. No. We're doing it the right way, I believe.

Yeah, no, I agree with you completely. Now I do have to admit, I forgot that I'd done the bar soap one and that was the idjim that I had prepared. I'm like, did I do that on this show or was it one of my others? And clearly it was on this show because now I need to go back to the drawing board. I noticed you looked shocked when you said, you're like, what was it? When did I talk about that?

Here's a challenge for you. How about I do my idjim. Yeah. And then you can think of an idjim while I'm talking. Yours can be like a rebuttal of mine. Oh. Okay, sure. It's a continuation, a part two of mine.

Oh, wow. This is the first ever one. You might have to go back to your phone notes. That's fine. I've got plenty. We'll give it a go. It's fine. It's like improv.

Okay. Let's give it a try. I'll kick things off badly. Is it just me? Has your parent ever stabbed you in the neck? Oh, no. I know. Yes.

No. Your parent has? But I know where this story is coming from, but no. They haven't. We were talking in the car just before on the way back from the smash room about the punishments that your parents would threaten you with. Yeah. Things along the lines of, don't make me stop this car. You'll be walking home or, like, you'll be off to boarding school

if you don't fucking behave yourself. I got that all the time. Yes, so did I. Yeah, and my mum would go to my room and start packing just for extra effect. She'd get the luggage out. No, no, please, no. Please don't. You're putting it in a bag, just random clothes.

Your mum's scrolling on Agoda or those online site, booking.com, like I'm looking at really cheap flights to get you off to boarding school. And then one day I was like, fine, I'll go. And she was like, oh, just go outside. Oh, my God. My mum backed right down too because she would threaten me, you'll be off to fucking boarding school if you keep this up. And years later when I was in like year 9 or 10, what age is that, 15, 16?

Yes, yep, 16. I was in full series and saying, you know what, I've actually been considering maybe boarding school would be a good option for me. And she's like, oh, no, mate, you don't want to do it. No, it's too X-y. It's too dear to go to boarding school. No.

And so all these threats were so fucking empty. My mum used to – and my dad actually, used to threaten me with Boys Town, which was, Boys Town was a boarding school in my area. Well, that's exactly the irony. I'm like, go on, send me to Boys Town. Where do I sign up? As soon as I hit 16, I'm like, hey, that mentioned a Boys Town. Is that office still on the table?

Because I'm suddenly really keen. And to the point where my dad would drive me into the, if I was having a tantrum, he'd drive me into the gates of Boys Town. It looked like Hogwarts. And he'd go, get out, smartass. That's what he'd call me, smartass. Get out, smartass. Get out, smartass.

So, yes, but I've never been attacked on the neck. Yeah, so we were talking about the punishments that our parents would threaten us with and I was recounting the time that I would – I reckon I would have been seven or eight years old and we were at Target Country in Forbes and by all accounts, I was behaving like a right turd. I was in a feral mood and mum didn't want to cause a scene. And so she leant down and whispered quietly in my ear, can you just settle down, be quiet. But while she was doing that, she had her hand around my neck and she has long fingernails

and something must have come over her in that moment jane must have been at her fucking wits end because she decided digging the nails into my neck to the point where i'm sure she didn't mean to but she drew blood like a cat and i reacted as any child would, which was, ow, mum, I'm bleeding. You've stabbed me. And she was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. We've got to go. We've got to go. She put down all the bras that she was about to try on. She goes, no, we've just got to go.

We've got to go ASAP. Oh, God, that's cold. Did your mum have nails? Was she like a fake nail mum? No, she just had her own long nails. And they were not unlike Jenna's cat claws. Talons, yeah. Did you get like a serving when you got home?

Were you in deep shit? I think she was so – she felt so guilty after stabbing her child and drawing blood that she just – we never really addressed it properly, but it's something that we talk about often to this day. I'm like, remember that time you stabbed me? She goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not my finest moment. Oh, I love it.

I mean, I've got my idiom. It's a continuation. It's just a continuation. I told you it would work. But the problem is I haven't pre-thought it. So if it's bad or rogue, I can't be cancelled for it, okay? We're not in a rush. No.

Okay, cool. If you need a take two or take three, I'm not editing it out. All right, well, let's give it a go. Bradley, hit me. Is it just me or? Should smacking come back? You know what? As I say it out loud, I think I probably should.

Why don't we just do a test run? Come here. My dad, Mark, who I love and is a great dad, I was smacked heavily. I was smacked. I was smacked on the butt cheek. I was smacked on the arm. I was smacked anywhere he could get me as I was runningacked heavily. I was smacked. I was smacked on the butt cheek. I was smacked on the arm. I was smacked anywhere he could get me as I was running down the halls. And I don't know.

I think it's like nature versus nurture. Like, did it make me the person I am? I don't think so. But in my head, I'm like, well, I was smacked. So my little shits are going to get smacked too. You know what I mean? It's like, you know, I'm like war veterans. Was it never on the face?

No, never on the face. Oh, no, no, never on the face. Maybe I'm old fashioned. I know that times have changed. But if it's not on the face, I'm never on the face. Maybe I'm old-fashioned. I know that times have changed, but if it's not on the face, I'm like, fair game, slap the kid. That's how I feel. You know, like when a war veteran gets back and they take all their anger out on the kid, it's like, well, I was slapped.

Who am I going to take my anger out on? But surely it has to be like the last resort. You can't just smack them willy-nilly. And the looming threat of do you you want to smack, often is enough. I agree. But on the fly, if smacking really was a good form of punishment, it would be used in other forms of discipline. There'd be an option to be smacked if you'd stolen a Cadbury chocolate bar

from Coles. Like, hey, that's 12 smacks. I'm not going to give you any prison time. You're going to have to do 20 hours of community service and four smacks. Yeah. Bend over. I've entered a plea deal. I did kill her.

However, I will accept a slap a day for 10 years. No, it can't be a slap, a smack. A smack. Yeah, a smack is different. A police officer saying, do you want a smack? Listen, we've caught you speeding, Mitchell. We've got your driver's license. We can take you back to the station and you obviously have to go to court

or we can smack you here on the highway. And depending on the crime is where you get smacked. Like you get a proper bare-ass cheek style smack if it's attempted murder. Manslaughter. Manslaughter, yeah, okay. Manslaughter. But then if it's something like a parking ticket or whatever, it's just like a little on the wrist.

A literal slap on the wrist. Well, yeah, that's an expression, a slap on the wrist. Bring back slaps on the wrist. I completely agree. It made me a good kid. I stand for it. But we don't endorse violence in this house. Thank you.

No, we're joking. It's all for entertainment purposes. It's all silly. It's only because you couldn't think of an interim. And you know what? It was one of the best we've ever had. Maybe being smacked as a child has affected you because you just resorted to violence so fucking quick.

If in doubt, smack it out. Is it just me? Five years. Five years. Is it just me or is that a long time? Hi, it's Jenna. I just wanted to stop by and congratulate the three of you for an amazing podcast. I know that you've got a little community that is going to very much miss it. And I would like to say thank you for having me on that one time. That one time. It's fine, my feelings aren't here, really.

But on a serious note, I would like to say thank you for bringing so much laughter and joy into our lives. I'm very honoured to have met all three of you in person and I think you're all wonderful people and I can't wait to see what you all do next. I love you all so much. Congratulations. Oh, I love Jenae.

Love you more, Jenae Love you more Jenae I needed that Yeah I did too I also thought at the start We were being scolded Like at the start Five years Yeah five years

Five years I sentenced you To five years and twelve times I've been making this Porcelain vase for five years And now you've smashed it Sounds like we were getting A lecture about something we'd done

So that was Jenae Who was on the podcast in Fuck fuck me, was it season three? Three. Two or three. I can't remember. She was big on TikTok. Was big on TikTok. No, at the point we had her on, that's why we got her on.

She's still big on TikTok. She is. And we were going to try and get her back on, but we just kind of ran out of time. We're in the final five episodes, everyone. Oh, my God. Final five. The final countdown. I'm not joining in you did last time no we love you janae thank you darling a very gorgeous comforting woman on tiktok if you're

not familiar with her work yeah jen um a on tiktok's J-E, seven Ns, four As. Oh, I remember. No, I remember because I had to learn it when she was on as a guest to plug her on TikTok. It's Jen A with four Ns, three As and two Ys. Her Instagram handle is completely different. Don't fucking ask me what it is, but we love you, Jen. We love you, Jen. We love you, Jen. Thank you for that message.

That's very kind. Now, should we dive into the next hobby hunt? Oh, my God. Let's go. Hobby, hobby, hobby hunt. Hobby, hobby, hobby hunt. Hobby, hobby, hobby hunt. Hobby hunt.

Yeah, apparently we're all bored and we wanted to try new things. So far, we've done pottery. Yep. Pilates. Yes. Singing lessons. Apparently we're all bored and we wanted to try new things. So far we've done pottery, pilates, singing lessons, and now, as I've always bloody wanted, finally my wish has been granted, a smash room. Tick that off the bucket list. Yeah, it's done. And I felt like such a grinch.

I wasn't going to come for other reasons that will be announced very soon on my Patreon. But I did and I'm so glad I was there because I didn't really understand the hype. Mitchell was so adamant, Jenna, on us doing this smash room. It has been over 12 months of me being like, I think the next hobby hunt should be a smash room. And I actually have no explanation for why I was so hell-bent on that. I just thought that my soul needed it, to be frank,

because it's a great way to release anger. You're just given permission to smash up all this crockery and microwaves and shit yeah it's crazy fucking fantastic so the three of us went along to smash room city in homebush yeah roving reporter oscar also joined us for the ride so did sean your beautiful boyfriend he was cameraman sean cameraman sean but also like it was quite funny when he was doing his smashing. His aim's not great. No. He kept missing the plates and stuff.

And so we all had a turn each, basically, and we decided that we wanted to dedicate the smash and the rage to one particular thing. Yes. Oscar kicked things off for us. Here's how he went. Right. This one goes out to every man that's ever hurt me. So we might be here for a while. Fuck you, Rhys. Fuck you, Jeremy. Fuck you, Connor. Alex. Jordan. Fred. Stephen. Not your Stephen. Not yours, Stephen Ian Forbes

For not texting me back the bastard Jared Ben Phil The other Phil Drop dead Yeah, a lot of men have robbed him Quite a few, we just let him go

We had a fucking one hour booking and he took up three quarts of that I don't know why he went first too he just wouldn't stop he would not stop bless him and also it's very disorientating because it didn't feel like oscar it didn't feel like any of you guys because you're in the full jumpsuit yeah you're in a motorbike helmet you're in jumpsuit glove and steel cap toe boots so you are completely mysterious yeah there was something so anonymous about it. At some points I had to be like, wait, fuck, who are you? Because also they made Jenna and I tie our hair up.

Yeah. And they were like, no, no, the dust and debris from all the smashed plates will actually make your hair disgusting. And I was like, oh, all right, I guess I'll tie it up. Even after that, even after tying it up, my hair feels like straw currently. Mine does too. It feels awful. It's really weird, right? Mine is pubic.

It's pubic. Yeah, it's pubic. I think it's because there must be particles of glass in the room. Yeah. You really should have worn a mask actually. Yeah. Like a face mask. And so I went next with my smashing.

Yep. Here's what I channeled my fucking rage into. This goes out to my phone and laptop storage always being full. I've deleted everything. You've taken everything from me. What more do you want? This goes out to emails in general. I just don't like them very much. They're annoying.

This is healing, honestly. I don't even need the fucking hammer. Just get it out, Mitchell. This isn't anything in particular. I'm just having an outburst. Ah! even after that i'm not sure that i've moved on from the phone storage thing i'm so over it i can't deal with the storage running out anymore before we recorded the podcast right here right now i had to spend 20 minutes deleting shit from my phone because i'm filming with it for the videos it's just getting getting exhausting. And I feel like, is this thing gaslighting me? I feel like there's a hidden folder on my laptop somewhere full of all this shit that has been piling up because it's just running out quicker and quicker with less things on

there. It doesn't make sense. Anyway, I'm venting. Have you done a deep clean? You can like get software that checks every corner of your Mac. No, I haven't. Clean my Mac. It's like an app.

I'd love to get that app, but I don't have enough storage. It's a Catch-22. You're in a real pickle there. Yeah. Do you know what's fucked? I have my old laptop still and I wanted to install Roblox on my current laptop so that I could play Dress to Impress, but there was no storage. So, I was like, right, I'll use my old Mac.

That'll be the Dress to Impress Mac. It's so old that it just will not download the app. Like it has to be a certain software update. And I'm like, why does technology have to be so hard? Clearly I didn't let enough of the rage out in the mind. So is this a new computer and it's still full? Oh, it's not that new. It's 2021.

Oh, so, okay. Oh God. I paid extra for a lot of storage and every day your disk space is almost full and I've done nothing. I've deleted everything. I've deleted everything. I don't understand. Mine doesn't even give me a warning. It just says, not full.

What about the cloud? Don't you just use the cloud? Not on my Mac. No. I don't know how it works for transparency. Some of my things are saved on the cloud. Some are saved locally. If I need it, I just go and find it.

I only realised very recently that because I pay for iCloud, all of my photo library gets backed up. And so if I'm clearing my phone camera roll like I was just before, I would have to reckon with how precious is this memory? Can I delete this? But then I realized, oh, I've got a copy of literally everything. Everything I've ever had in my camera roll is backed up somewhere. So if i really really

need it i can get it later it's all good wow which was comforting but still i paid extra for all the story so fucking fine anyway sorry sorry we've already had your chance to get your rage out i've got to tell you idiots it was really really satisfying yeah yeah the smash room it was everything i hoped it would be i would be interested to know what it would be like if i went back and i wasn't recording yeah because there was still a part of my mind that was like, oh, shit, am I in frame on the camera? Is the audio right? Like if I could just relinquish all of that and just bash some shit,

it might be even more enjoyable. But I loved it. And do you know what the other thing was? I asked the lady there, do you have regulars? And she goes, oh, yeah. Some people come to this matchroom as a replacement for therapy. Wow. I totally get that.

It was a really gorgeous release, wasn't it? Yeah. I enjoyed it. And so you were up next, Cheery? I was, yes. And mine was sort of, you know, a broad stroke, something that the whole world could relate to, something we're all going through at the moment.

Sure. By the way, I'd never done this before and I was completely adverse to it to start. I thought this isn't going to help at all. And, like, I noticed that when you first started smashing shit, you were just being playful and cheery. You were getting Oscar to throw plates for you to aim at and hit. Oh, yes, yeah. But then something came over you. This wave of rage must have hit you because once you started smashing shit, you couldn't stop.

Yeah. And you're the one that wasn't even that keen to do it in the first place. Well, no, I just, I don't know. It just doesn't excite me. Yeah. But have a listen to this and it will prove otherwise. This goes out to inflation. Oh, yes.

Oh, this is amazing. Oscar, pretend I'm a royal and you're going to throw plates at me like we're like plating. That's nice. Oh, nice. This is scary. Shoot. Shoot! Shoot! More! Shoot! Oh god he's only just getting started. Sorry that came came from deep within. My ears. Let it out, darling.

Let it out. Fucking crockpot. Oh, he's angry. Oh, my God. Wow. If you rewind, you can hear the moment that a switch was flicked and you were like, oh, I'm just going to go ham on this shit. Well, the options are they give you crates and we asked how it works.

They go to local Vinnies and finders and savers. Who's donating all these things to be smashed? Yeah, I don't know. They go to the local op shops and they buy these crates worth of shit, just plates and bowls and crockery. And we all got a crate each. But then for extra money, you can buy white goods. Like a TV.

TVs, printers, sound systems, CD players, which we didn't, of course. I've got to say, I wouldn't have forked out extra for those things because one time I tried to film a video where I was smashing my Wi-Fi modem because I was with Belong. I don't care. I don't care about besmirching their company. They're fucking dreadful. I used to be with Belong too.

Aren't they shocking? Terrible. The're fucking dreadful. I used to be with Belong too. Aren't they shocking? Terrible. The worst. Terrible. And so I wanted to film a video after I switched providers of me smashing the Belong modem. That bitch wouldn't break. So I feel like you pay all this money for the extra printer or whatever and it just won't break. Glass and crockery.

And you get the beautiful sound of the whoosh. Yeah. Brilliant for a podcast. Yeah. It was brilliant. I had so much fun. I got a lot of my anger out. And once you start, you don't really stop, to be honest.

In fact, let's just check in. Where's Oscar at? He's still going. Fuck you, Julian. Daniel. Jake. Michael. Malik.

Oh, my. Hey, long list. Yeah, a long fucking list of men that have hurt him. We need to shield and look after Oski. And last but certainly not least. Yes. The ever so innocent, ever so angelic prize keeper fucking Jenna. Yep.

Yep. The soft one of the group. Yep. The most relaxed, calm, zen woman. Yep. Softly spoken. Yep. Meek.

Yeah, mild. Mild, calm, zen woman. Softly spoken. Meek. Yeah, mild. Mild, yeah. Reserved. Let me tell you, idiots, today was the day that Jenna Benson turned. She fucking turned. You and I were almost clutching each other. We were. Oh, my God.

We were scared. We were. I forgot we were being filmed. Mitch and I huddled in a corner and at one point the shrapnel from Jenna's attacks was hitting us. That's the one that could have taken my eye out if not for the fucking helmet. Anyway, take a listen to this. This smash goes out to the Sydney light rail for only going 10 kilometres an hour. Here we go!

Wow. I hate the light rail! Oh my God. Hurry it up. I need to go to Pilates. Why is she grunting? She has more anger in her, Mitchell, than you and I combined. Oh, no.

Oh. Are you having fun, Jenna? That's amazing. Well done. The grunts on Jenna. I loved it so much. Oh, my God. And over just a slow light rail of all things.

When you've been on that light rail so many times and you almost miss going to Pilates because it's going so slow, I could walk beside it and go faster. To be fair, Mitchell, when you're after a hard rail and you almost miss going to Pilates because it's going so slow. I could walk beside it and go faster. To be fair, Mitchell, when you're after a hard rail and you get a light rail, I mean, it pisses anyone off. I am not super fond of the light rail. It's equivalent to like a tram in Melbourne, by the way. I don't know why they don't just call it a fucking tram.

Yeah, but the Melbourne trams are fast. Yeah, you're right. These aren't trams and you want to know why? I've researched. Trams have the electricity power on the lines above them. But the light rail is underground. Oh, it's not underground. No, the electricity source is buried underground and it powers from above.

And it's cracked. In the rails, yeah. It's a light rail. Yeah, no, it's almost more trouble than it's worth, the light rail, because they stop at every stop. I'm sure I've said this before. They need to do what you do on a bus where they don't just stop at every single bus stop.

You have to press the button to say, yes, please let me off here. Yes, I agree. Because often the light rail pulls up, the doors open, no one gets on or off. And they stay there for ridiculously long. Too long. Like fucking 40 seconds or something ridiculous. There's someone walking from up the street to get on it and it waits.

I'm sorry, but you can walk quicker than the light rail. Oh, you actually can. Up George Street. Definitely. It's a waste of time yeah but anyway um thank you to smash room city for having us it was everything i needed and more wait can we include my favorite moment which is when sean who was filming and helping out with audio and he was being a beautiful doting partner yes um to myself he tries to have a smash because we were wearing the anonymous costumes wrong mitch babe um he came up to me want to smash and i because we were wearing the anonymous costumes. Wrong Mitch, babe. He came up to me and went, want a smash?

And I went, it's the wrong one, how dare you? He got a bit of shrapnel caught in his shoe. Do we have that audio? Yes, we do. That was suspiciously close to your partner, Sean. Sorry, that was kind of directly aimed at you. I'm so sorry. Oh, there's stuff in my boot. Oh, no.

I'm in the shard in Sean's shoe. All right, and that's a wrap. It happened to sorry. Oh, there's stuff in my boot. Oh, there's a shard in Sean's shoe. All right. And that's a wrap. It happened to the nicest person too. Are you all right? Is it bad? Yeah. I'm just going to hop my way out.

Let's get him out. It's like under my foot. And also the funniest part, I don't even know if there's audio to go with this, but he accidentally dropped his phone and it was sitting there in this huge pile of shrapnel and rubble and it was like, right, whose turn is it to smash now? Whose turn? And I spotted the phone and I was like, holy fuck, like thank God I noticed it in amongst all the shards.

Imagine if someone just hit that with a fucking baseball bat. Poor Sean. So funny. So good. But no, he loved it too. Yeah, so worth it. Thank you, Sydney City Automotive. What was their name?

Smash Room City. I honestly do feel that I may have found a hobby that I will return to. Really? Oh, finally. I think I might as well. I won't be returning to singing lessons. Probably won't do pottery again. Polite is obviously, I'm a veteran at this point.

But the Smash Room, I'm fucking sold. So that's a happy ending as we bring the podcast series to a close. I found a veteran at this point. But the Smash Room, I'm fucking sold. So that's the happy ending as we bring the podcast series to a close. I found a hobby. You found a hobby. I loved it. It was fantastic. Is it just me? You can follow the show online.

Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. Okey-doke. Before we get the fuck out of here. Yep. A return of an old favourite segment, listening to the other idjams. Oh, my God. This was so fun. Yeah. This is just a heads up to anyone out there who's thinking of starting a podcast.

Just check if the name's taken. Oh, I love this song. Before you start. Because we've learnt the hard way that there's many Is It Just Me podcasts already in existence and still being born. Yeah, there's a lot It Just Me podcasts already in existence and still being born. Yeah, there's a lot. Every few months a new idjim comes along. We've done this segment so many times because every so often we check

and go, fuck, there's another new one. Yeah. And so these ones we have not heard before, the other idjims. Well, we haven't done it in a while, so there will be a birth of a few, I'd say. I did like that little girl singing. Oh, that was my favourite, Is It Just Me. Can you find that actually? Yeah, of course.

Just for old time's sake. We need to listen to that. But they've all got very different takes on the names. These Is It Just Me's. And by the way, it needs to be said that we reign supreme. We're the most successful Is It Just Me on the podcasting apps. Without doubt. And so maybe these poor

bastards will get a chance to shine now that we're terminal. So let's kick things off. Sorry, I did find Romana Kosulski, her hit song, Call Loud Popular, which is so true. It's such a really great observation. The info is, the description of this podcast is, make people calm when they sad. And I feel like, correct me if I'm wrong, she had episodes where she spoke and then there was just a rogue episode where she sang. She sung, yeah.

The song really tugs at the heartstrings from memory. Because it ain't me. I think I remember it. You and me. You don't remember anything, but this one really fucking stuck with you, didn't it? Here we go. This is it. Everyone doesn't matter who they are. Here we go I like the clapping What the fuck

Beat my drum like a drum One of the fuck? Beat my drum like a drum. One of the great lyrics. Like a drum. A great simile. Isn't me that thing. Beat my drum like a drum. I never noticed that. Beat my drum like a drum.

So as you can hear loud and clear, we've got fucking stiff competition with the fellow idjams. So a very different take on the name here. This one is actually called, the full title is, Is It Just Me or Have We All Lost Our Minds? Oh, okay. With Jennifer Horne. It's a political podcast. Oh, I might like this.

I love politics. Let's take a listen. Is it just me or have we all lost our minds? Just you, bub. It's a question I've been asking myself on repeat for the last eight years, and I know I'm not alone in that. Is it the politics? Is it the culture culture or am i just getting old yeah hi i'm jennifer horn and i'm a former republican strategist and party leader turned independent sanity activist i decided to do this podcast so

we could explore these questions i'll bring experts to the table from politics and media and culture. We'll have raw, insightful conversations with the clear goal of getting to the bottom of it all. One way or another, we've all lost our minds. And I hope you'll join us on the journey to find them again. She literally says, is it just me or have we all lost our minds? But then just said, very matter of factly, we have all lost our minds. End of series. End of series. She's come to the conclusion. One way or another, we've all lost our minds. She's been thinking about it for the past eight years

but didn't do a simple search. No, I know. You know what I love about boomers that have podcasts is that they explain the premise every episode in their intro. It's just not needed for you to jump on and say all that. All the bloody podcast experts out there say that you're meant to explain the concept within 30 seconds. Sometimes it can be 12 minutes into the episode and we go, well, if it's your first time.

A hundred percent. People know what they're getting here. Just a bit of nonsense. Yeah, she had a good presenting style. It wasn't awful to listen to. I will say that she, out of the next couple that I'm going to play, our Idjim cousins, she had the best production value because, oh, there's nothing that fucks me off more. I shouldn't say this when we're in my echoey penthouse.

Then shit audio quality. So, the next one is from Layla K and MJ. Okay. They met in business school and spent decades working in business and government. And they're trying to be relatable with everything they're saying, but it's just very corporate specific. You'll know what I mean when you listen. Is It Just Me with Leila Kay and MJ. Welcome to the Is It Just Me with Leila Kay and MJ podcast, where we ask the question on just about any topic, is it just me? So, things might be getting a bit tense out there. And while we

like to take a lighthearted approach on most things, this episode is 100% lighthearted. Is it just me? Or will some things just always be funny? I don't think it's just you. And you know what's always funny? Large organizations making a silly blunder. It's a result of collective malpractice. So no one individual is to blame. And it can be just hilarious. It kind of reminds me of when GE spent millions getting washing machines and dishwashers within one day delivery of anyone who buys them from anywhere. And then finding out that no one actually wanted the appliance delivered the next day.

What is going on? So kind of funny in a bad planning way. Unless you're a shareholder. What happened to lighthearted? Where'd that go? Oh, no, honestly, I'm all about it. That was so relatable. There's nothing that cracks me up more than collective malpractice.

Oh, and I've always said that. You've always said that. Gets me going. Yeah, no, corporate greed is so, so funny. Wow. And I love how they said, you know, speaking of the GE microwave dishwasher story, like it's a household story. Yeah. Oh, we all know that one, don't we?

We all know this story, the GE microwave. The washing machine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same day delivery. What if we did our intros like that? I'm just going on to this backing music website. What if I type in piano waltz? Let's target their energy sure hang

on no that's a fucking marimba welcome to is it just me hello you hello you we ask the question is it just me on just about anything it's something something we've notified or appreciate. We don't know each other's idjams. That's what keeps it fun. Just like life, we are living on the edge of our seat. I don't even do an idjam. Oh, I love this.

We should channel all of their energy from now on. The next one, Is It Just Me with Chrissy and Lucas. Oh, good for them. They are both therapists. It's a mental health podcast. Oh, for God's sake. What I'm learning is that Is It Just Me can really be shoehorned into any topic. Literally, I feel like we're the only ones taking the piss with it. Everyone's just making it way deeper

than it needs to be, but I probably might add these guys to my library, Christy and Lucas. Let's listen. Hey everyone, I'm Lucas. And I'm Christy. And you're listening to the Is It Just Me podcast. Where we aim to provide education, decrease the stigma, and expel some myths around mental health. Christy, is it just me or do we see ourselves differently than others see us? I think that that is so true.

I was talking with a friend from high school who listens to our podcast. Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Hi, Kelly. He sent me some podcast ideas. And one of the things that he had said was, is it just me or is the person that I see in the mirror is not what everybody else sees? It was something along that. And I was like, oh my gosh, that's such a good topic. It's incredibly common that people suffer from

low self-esteem. And that goes anywhere from the activities that we do to our looks, to how much we weigh, to anything. What we're good at, what we're not good at. Self-esteem fluctuates throughout the day, throughout the year. And it's really important to talk about because it impacts so many different things. Your thoughts are so powerful.

And the inner monologue that you have going on within your head needs to be positive or it's going to impact every other area of your life. Jesus. They're my favourite so far. I mean, I get it. If I'm in the mood for that, I'll definitely turn them on. I feel like they're just saying things that we already know. I'm sure that if I played more than a one minute excerpt,

they might have scratched the surface a little more. No, it's not fun when they're kind of okay. I want tragic idjams. I don't want good quality shows. Wait, hold up. Oh, my God. That's such a good topic. I was talking to my friend Andrew.

Hi, Andrew. He was suggesting that. I was like, oh, my God, that's amazing. Andrew listens to the show. Do you ever look in the mirror and you just... Oh, sorry. We shouldn't be rude to our idjam cousins, Chrissy and Lucas. Go check them out if you can be bloody bothered. I've saved the worst till last. Oh, sorry. We shouldn't be rude to our Idgum cousins, Chrissy and Lucas.

Go check them out if you can be bloody bothered. I've saved the worst till last. Jules, Hannah and Patsy. Oh, yes. Oh, I wonder what happened to Patsy. Thank God she found her feet with a new show. They bring us Is It Just Me or dot, dot, dot, question mark. That's a different take.

It is, yeah. Different formatting. They give us a deep dive into the quirks, mysteries, and wonders of everyday life. It's just a shame that it sounds like they're in a fucking garbage bin. Awful audio. All right, y'all welcome back. It's been a super hot minute. Obviously.

It's been a hot girl summer. It's been a hot girl summer. I'm kidding. But anyways, so yeah, it's been a really long time it's been it's been at least a month so welcome back to is it just me or with obviously jules and obviously my favorites to have on here

hannah and patsy welcome back guys thank you for having us all right so today's gonna be super just random things that we talk about and hot topics as well so where do y'all want to start do you want to start with the first one yeah got it cool cool cool so do y'all feel like social media ruins relationship expectations and i say that because i think i see a lot now of people that are single saying oh like if they look like they have a really like a perfect relationship right but sometimes i think social media like you're only going to present the press like present the good stuff i've never heard anyone make that point no too not that it's detrimental to relationships but sometimes i feel like it can be because of the accent yeah i was

just thinking of the access yeah oh why'd you cut it mitchell i was really enjoying that well that was gonna be my e-trip i think we should if we're gonna replicate their style of presenting firstly i'm putting my microphone down. Okay. Put your mics as far away from your face as you can. Yeah. Okay. And we're going to have no intro. We're just going to go, okay, so welcome to Is It Just Me?

Yeah, and then we have to talk about a nondescript period of break that no one is across. And we have to use the word obviously a lot. Yeah. Obviously we're back from the break after what happened. Yeah, after the incident. It's been so long. We're not going to go back. And I want to give a shout out to the judge for allowing us happened. Yeah, after the incident. It's been so long. We're not going to go back. And I want to give a shout out to the judge for allowing

us back. Yeah. Thank goodness. No, we're joking. Yeah. We're kidding. We're kidding. Anyway, we're going to be talking about hot topics and also really random stuff. For example. Mitchell. Yeah. My favorite

is here. We stuff for example mitchell yeah my favorite is here we this bitch is crazy this bitch is crazy she's banana el loco we laugh like crazy when she's on this show every week oh my god jenna hi everyone oh my god shut up you're so funny so like should we start at the start or what I reckon we start at the start yeah I've got a point

yeah I wanted to bring up and I don't know if y'all have ever had this thought but the wind blows blows where

that's the quest you're so fucking funny shoot that's actually real deep y'all you're so funny shoot how your brain works is crazy and obviously That's the quest. You're so fucking funny. That's actually real deep, y'all. You're so funny. Shoot. How your brain works is crazy.

And obviously, like, we obviously have felt the wind. But, like, how do we know what the wind's feeling? Obviously, we can't speak to the wind. Yeah, but you don't know that. Have you tried? You should be a comedian. Maybe we should try. Maybe we should try. Maybe we should try.

Do you want me to go and talk to – no, I keep on – I hate this so much. I hate it so much. So good luck to our Idjim cousins. Good luck. Jules, Hannah, Patsy, Chrissy, Lucas, Layla, Kay and MJ and Jen. Yeah, hi, Jen. Godspeed.

Godspeed. The top dog's out. All right, well, should we go? Probably, yeah. Kay and MJ and Jen. Yeah. Godspeed. Godspeed. The top dog's out. Yeah. All right. Well, should we go? Probably. Yeah, let's get out of here. All right.

Thank you for listening, idiots. Give us a five-star review. It does help us. We love you. And the mugs are still available and our merch is still available if you'd like to purchase. I'm currently staring at my kitchen table, which is, I'm not even embellishing, completely full of mugs that Shira and I are yet to sign. That's what we're doing as soon as we finish this episode. Yeah, we're signing.

So that'll be fun. Do you want to add to that list? Like, it's a good problem to have. Yeah. I was like, holy fuck, there's so many. But we're going to get cracking. Let's get out of here. We will.

Thanks for listening. See you soon. Catch you next week. Bye-bye. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.

Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end. Yeah. I've realised after 250 fucking episodes that I've never, ever altered the inflections of welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment. Oh, yeah. What if one day I just came in all guns blazing? Welcome to AD Debrief. Pull a second year. Oh, yeah. What if one day I just came in all guns blazing? Welcome to AD Debrief.

Pull a Mitch Turi. How would you introduce it? Oh, okay. Episode ends, music fades. Welcome, welcome. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, it's AD Debrief. This is the- Oh, look at the laugh. Oh, shit, it's Oscar.

Oh, Oscar. Come in. Yeah, so he came to the Smash Room with us and he's still at my home. What have you been doing Oscar? Have you been on that balcony the whole time? Yeah do not fucking walk with us I'll come over here She'll come over here

Speak into a mic Here Hi Hi Hi Oscar Hi What were you doing out there for an hour? Messaging the hundreds of men that have wronged him

Exactly I want to back miss you Did you have a little nap? Just copy and paste you know To all 75 of them that I met this week. Oh, my God, Oscar. Are you still on Grindr? Yeah.

I just couldn't find you. No, do you use the pre-written messages? I find them disgusting. They have pre-written ones. Yes, you can just write like customs. Hey, how are you? Hi, what are you looking for? Hi, top here.

So you don't have to bother writing it out. You can just tap a button and it pre-sends it. Oh, I don't like that. That would require me to respond to half of them. So no. So no. Okay, fair enough. No, I'm too busy.

Do you know what, Oscar? I've just noticed. I reckon there's something about this podcast and your general health that maybe we curse you because you've been fine all day. All day. And then as soon as i hand you a microphone you sound congested as fuck i know honestly like i can't explain how my body works you know how some people like you know they go to work and they're all like oh i've been sick as a dog but i'll be right and they can push through it's like mine's the opposite like it's when i

don't have to do things you need your voice as soon as i fucking need anything my body's like yeah just by the way i don't know what it could be but it's definitely not don't have to do things. As soon as you need your voice. As soon as I fucking need anything. My body's like. To behave themselves. Yeah. Just by the way. I don't know what it could be. I mean, it's definitely not the vape. You've been sucking all day.

And famously. That could be it. I've got the opposite problem to Oscar because you know how I was crook as fuck for a whole fortnight. A couple of weeks ago. I was just miserable all day. My sinuses. I woke up choking one night because like my whole nose and like the mucus was in the throat i woke up going oh and so i had a really

fucked throat really fucked sinuses but for some reason as soon as i was in the studio for an episode it was gone my body's like no no you've got to perform now yeah your body's like, no, no, you've got to perform now. Your brain works in weird ways. Yeah, your body's like, oh, you've got a podcast to be on. We're going to make you sound dreadful. I can't hear it. You sound all right. So you reckon he sounds a bit like his nose. Speak for a bit. Give me the scale.

Give the scale. Speak a bit. Well, Grindr's awful. Oh, I can hear the nose. Yeah. No, I can hear it. Well, it's the air con in here too, and we're right under it, Mitchell. Oh, shit.

I forgot to turn the air con off. That's going to be in the background all day. We're as bad as bloody Patsy and Hannah and shit. Oh, that's why I've been in such a good mood, because I'm directly under 18 degree fan. It's amazing. That's the other thing. We really needed this air con.

We don't even need it this cold, but after the fucking hot as fuck smash room, we needed it. Yeah, it was a sweaty time. It was insane. Shall we cross back to Oscar and see who he's still berating? Where's he at? Marcello! Paul!

Fabian! Roberto! Are there any men that you forgot? Oh, probably. Who are they? Oh. Kev. Bloody Martin.

Yeah. No, fuck. Yeah. Are you dating anyone? Are you dating anyone at the moment? No. No, okay. You're off.

It's not that I'm off. Like, it's just no one seems to be anyone I've spoken to. Like, I feel like I'm the curse because every time I talk to someone in the moment, it's like, oh my God, yes, like like this is great it's true as as the best friend i've seen it happen time and time again people lead him on and then just go quiet you give them too much of your own heart choke i really don't though really under my strict instruction i'm like no that you don't that too no i really don't because it's like it's one of those things where like i i know i'm ready for something but i can't force that on someone else so like and it was a desperation yes yeah yeah i've got deodorant for that um just forgot to bring it

um we could tell exactly yes thank you um but no it's it's one of those things where it's like uh i it's i fully understand how it's so easy to get caught up in the moment and then reality kicks back in and work schedules come back and there are a lot of people whose work schedules are more demanding than mine i get that so i just i just yeah i talk to them for two minutes and then if they're around they're around otherwise i can't be fucked is this like there's just so many dreadful men like that that lead people on yeah welcome to sydney um also I don't want to tell you how to live your life But you're not going to find a decent man on Grindr

You're there for one thing Go on Hinge darling I found Stephen on Grindr Oh that's true You can find someone You just debunked me I don't appreciate it Sorry

No it's actually quite the opposite I find that the more awful men are on Hinge Excuse me you're in Sean's home That's where I found him Yeah true but I didn't meet him on hinge did i no grinder actually he swiped left actually i found bumble the worst like i really i feel like that's not for us yeah it's not for us and i didn't understand how it worked then all of a sudden like a bee was buzzing and it's like good morning you've got 12 honeycombs to use today. I'm like, what do you mean like buzz, buzz? You've got a sting in your tail.

I'm like, what is going on with this app? Like it was just, I did enjoy the energy of that. Where Tinder I get the flame and the hot and you've been liked and super like. I'm like, I get it. But Bumble are over there being like, your honey pot's about to explode. Find out who's dipping their hand in. Things are about to get sticky. I don't like how Bumble works.

It gives major Winnie the Pooh vibes. I'm not about that. Major Winnie the Pooh. I'm not about that. No, I'm with you. I don't know. There's just something out there and I feel like I am a, I feel like I'm a curse to be honest for any man I meet

because they always seem to get busy. No, I don't mean it like, you know, depressed, but like, you know. Why did you just, did you just jerk your hand off when you said depressed? I used to think, oh, I must be a curse as well. I used to think that because it was the same old story every time. I was in the same boat. The men would lead me on and then just lose interest. Oh, Mitchell was tragic.

I remember him. And then once I shifted my thinking from I must be cursed to I'm an absolute prize, they'd be lucky. That's when I found John. Yeah, true. It was weird. Oh, true. Look, I'm not overly worried about a man.

I mean, all of my close friends are in long-term relationships. So, as far as I'm concerned, I've got 17 boyfriends. Yes. He's the third. I'm the third in a good majority of situations uh which is uh which works perfectly fine for me actually yeah and i don't know if you experience this but it is quite handy having an understudy boyfriend sean couldn't make it to a wedding it's my plus one so oscar came along with my understudy i have noticed you guys do that a lot like understudy roles

it's interesting how sean's not available but oscar is yeah yeah yeah famously i've got nothing going on oscar and i are a couple because he's my understudy boyfriend he seems to be there all the time i still remember back in the day too um when people when i first sort of came onto the scene in like your content and whatnot people genuinely thought i was your boyfriend and i had i remember being on at this wedding we went to as we were leaving one of the girls we met there one of the other guests was like enjoy your fuck i thought that shan't be happening was she drunk yeah she was the bride so she was well no no it wasn't from the altar enjoy the fuck i love the oscar vibe of just glasses. He's wearing sunglasses indoors.

I'm going to wear mine. Yeah, I just can't be bothered. Mine are on too and I feel very Oscar. I've got my leg crossed. Leg crossed, you know, feeling very dainty. You're feeling scorned. I am actually. And you're holding the microphone.

I might hold mine too just for a bit of fun. It's quite a heavy microphone. I'm not used to this much manual labour. You've just been smashing all day. Your muscles are tired. We also went to a smash room. Which I was very confused about. Yeah, I had a great joke that I don't think made the cut.

You were presenting your ass and I said, oh, smash. Of course. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, you know, famously everyone wants to. Did you notice that while we were in there, we took about 45 minutes in the smash room, but the room next to us just had two different sets of couples going in.

Yeah, I noticed that. And I thought, is it couples therapy or is it a fun date out or like are they planning on becoming like a, you know, bank heist duo? Like why would a couple go in? And they weren't talking to each other. It was very clinical yeah there's not one part of me that thought they were a couple actually yeah oh really that first couple my hypotheses on the two of them was that there was drama that he cheated because she seemed fucking furious yeah she did she seemed furious and she looked like a tail with this like legs or whatever therapist

told them to do this yeah and they said it would do her hearts good if you accompany her there and watch her release her rage so you can see the point that you've driven her to. That's right. God, we've become fucking Chrissy and Lucas, the mental health podcast. We have. We have.

Yeah, we've added a fourth. So we're basic. Who was it, Bertha and Shelley and? Something like that. Patsy. Jules, Hannah and Patsy. Oscar has no idea what we're talking about. No, it's fine.
