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.
How dare you leak our company secrets.
That's like the newest hiree at KFC walking out with a megaphone and going,
Oregano!
Salt, pepper, paprika!
Now here's Mitch Tully and Mitchell Coombs.
Hello, you.
Hello, yeah.
Getting close to the end.
I can feel it.
You can smell it.
The end is nice.
Of the podcast.
Of the pod, yeah.
Don't ask me how many episodes are left because apparently I can't count.
Very little.
Very few.
Pricekeeper Jen is here, of course.
Hello.
Am I right in saying that including this episode, which people are yet to consume, it will be
actually four?
Wait, what's this episode?
252.
Three.
252, three, four, five.
Yes.
Because I'm not counting this episode as complete.
We just bloody started.
No.
So now we can say that we've got four episodes to go, including the one you're currently
in your ears.
Correct.
We've actually got an announcement in this episode about something we plan to do in one
of those remaining episodes.
The bucket list ticks continue.
Running out of time to tick.
They very much do.
Time's ticking, dog.
It is.
And so are we.
We're ticking.
I shouldn't say we have an announcement because last time we had a fucking announcement.
It wasn't good, was it?
No.
I promise, idiots, you will actually enjoy this one.
You will.
It's a good one.
Yes.
I think you will enjoy it.
Also on today's episode, another round of Will It.
Ooh.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm not across what this one is.
An out-of-the-box food concoction.
Where did this come from for you?
Like, not Will It.
We know why we've done it.
We've done Will It Block.
We've done Will It Blend.
We've done Will It Cream.
It's weird food experiments.
So what's the question?
The question is why?
Where was this inspired from?
I actually don't even have an answer.
My mind just works in weird fucking ways.
We know that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I can't wait for a Will It.
I'm excited for this one.
And you also have like an Esky behind you and there's briefcases and it looks like you're
off to Hogwarts.
That's all the food.
Like you've got suitcases and trunks.
That's all the food.
I've been busy in the kitchen, Talon.
Have you really?
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Well, I'm excited for Will It.
This is the final Will It.
Safe to say yes.
Yes.
It probably will be.
I don't imagine we're going to bring it back in the last four episodes.
We need to really, really tick things off the bucket list because we're running out of time.
Yeah.
What else is there on the bucket list?
Do you want me to have a quick look?
Yeah.
Have a little read through at least. Okay.
Another Nat Penpoet episode
ticked. Longest episode ever.
That's what we're going to aim to do in the final
episode. That'll be good. Kate Langbrook
as a guest one last time.
Aidan suggested that. Literally
next episode, that's going to be happening.
We've got radio, television,
star Kate Langbrook. So that's going to be happening
on Monday's episode.
But don't stress.
We would normally take an issue caller on that episode.
We're going to move that to Wednesday.
We're going to clear the runway for Kate.
Shuffling the decks.
Yes.
An episode with Stephen, said Sarah.
Tick.
Tick.
Another roving report from Oscar.
Tick.
Thank you, Katie.
Give Ben Fordham his tea towel, Jake suggested.
Fuck, I've got to get on that.
I was talking to him this week, too.
I should have done it.
I could just post it to him or something. I know where he lives. I'll just drop it off. Do you? Yeah. Oh, easy. Okay. Yeah, I've got to get on that. I was talking to him this week too. I should have done it. I could just post it to him or something. I know where
he lives. I'll just drop it off. Do you? Yeah. Oh, easy.
Okay. Yeah, I'll just drop it off. We should do a group chat.
Just chuck it out the window with no context.
For context though, the tea towel,
he tweeted me around the time
of the Bogengate video that went viral in 2015.
Jesus. Because he knew me as
the work experience kid. He was like, can you grab me one of
those tea towels you mentioned in the video?
I was like, of course I can do that. Mitch, this seems
like a really, I don't think he'll remember.
He probably won't. I'll have to fucking screenshot
the tweet when I send it to him.
Lana suggested
the Life Uncut Girls as guests
on this podcast. Your pick-up co-hosts.
Yes, well, my former co-hosts, so that won't be happening
soon to be former.
No, I honestly just don't
think that's going to happen with timing.
Yes, Ozlana.
Sorry.
John Law sending us off.
Thank you, Emily.
Tick.
Can we finally get me playing the violin?
Thank you, Jack.
Tick.
Yep.
Going to a smash room.
Matt suggested that.
Tick.
We're doing well.
We are doing well.
We're doing well.
That's impressive.
We're making a dent.
It's all good.
Peter wanted Jenna on one more time.
She did a little message for us.
Surely that counts.
That's a loophole.
But that's okay.
Olivia wanted more talkback Tings moments. Tick, we did that.
We're getting through it. Yeah, we are getting through
it. Actually, there's one more thing on the bucket list
that you haven't said, Mitch. Yeah. What? Actually,
why don't we just do it now? Why don't we just get
it over and done with? You want to tick something off now?
Yeah, I think so. What is it? It won't be quick
but it certainly will be enjoyed. Sure.
If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
Every show we start the same way,
something we've noticed,
something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
I don't know Mitch's.
We don't know each other's at all.
Shall we jump in?
Sure, let's go.
Go, Bradley.
Is it just me or...
Is it time Dot Wiggins made a comeback on the podcast?
Oh, yes!
Because she's here.
No way!
Yeah, you will not believe this.
You're right, Katie did suggest that for the bucket list. One last catch up with Dot Wiggins. Well, she's here. No way. Yeah, you will not believe this. You're right. Katie did suggest that for the bucket list.
One last catch up with Dot Wiggins.
Well, she's here.
No way.
Her podiatrist is next door to Pepsi Palace.
No way.
And she said, she messaged me.
Hilarious.
Messaged me.
And it was just like, you know when you do one letter then four spaces and two letters?
Yeah.
Just coming to see, with the letter C, you, at podiatrist.
That would have taken her a long time to write that text.
I'm impressed.
Months.
But she's here.
I've just put her in the green room.
Should I go get her?
Oh, my God.
I'm so excited.
Oh, it's been so long.
We haven't seen her in this new building.
So, Dot is Cherry's old lady alter ego, for those that are new here,
but he commits to the bit.
Here she is.
Come here, Dot.
Sit down. Oh, the bit. Yeah. Here she is. Come here, Dot. Hey, Dot.
Oh, hold on.
Here.
Oh, do you need a hand?
Cheery, help her down.
Hey, Dot.
Who?
Oh, she's, okay, so she's aged a little since she's been here last.
Have you forgotten us, Dot?
My God, girl, you look fantastic.
Thank you.
Are you talking to me or Jenna?
You.
Me?
Yes.
Thank you.
God, it's your nail polish.
You, I'm so proud of you and your radio career.
Being here in this studio.
Oh, no.
I can't wait to hear you in the new year on the show and the program.
It's the only thing keeping my heart pumping.
There's a knowing that I'll be able to listen to you, my gorgeous grandson, on the wireless.
Aren't we proud of him, girls?
She hasn't heard the news.
Who?
Who are you?
No, that's Jenna.
You know Jenna.
We know each other.
That's your goddaughter, darling.
My gorgeous girl.
Thin skin.
Like a lizard.
How was the podiatrist?
Awful.
Awful, mate.
What actually is a podiatrist, daughter?
I'm not even sure off the top of my head.
Overpriced.
Darling, it's a foot doctor.
Oh, I see.
People wanted you back on the show, Dot. They did.
Didn't they want her back on the show?
So much.
I think the reason, Dot, don't take it personally,
that you stopped appearing as often as you did
is because more often than not you were here for the sake of a prank call.
And we kind of banned prank calls in a way, Dot.
But maybe we just throw the fucking rule book out because we're nearly ending
the podcast.
Maybe it's fucking muck up day for us.
Who could we prank call, do you think?
Maybe she left her wallet at the podiatrist.
Yeah.
What's the nearest podiatrist to Pepsi Palace?
Find a podiatrist near me.
And is that the one you went, Dot, you can look at Jenna's computer. Yeah, okay.
Dot, no, you're on the pod. Okay, Dot, well we're ready to go.
We've found the number of the nearest podiatrist to us. Yeah. So let's
give him a call.
You've got a cough, Dot.
Hello, I can help you.
Hello, it's me calling.
I'm so sorry to bother you again.
I was just in there with my grandson to get my calluses off.
Is this Paul?
No, no, there's no Paul here, man.
You do feet?
Yes, we do. Yeah, no. No, there's no Paul here, man. You do feet? Uh, yes, we do.
Yeah, no, you...
You do feet. I'm just calling. I've left my purse.
I think you might be calling the wrong podiatry clinic.
I think you might be fibbing.
Are you looking for Palin Podiatry, perhaps?
Who?
I think you've called the wrong clinic, man.
So you don't have my purse?
No, we don't have your purse.
My goodness me.
Is there anything in Lost and Found?
Is there anything in No Purse?
It's a crocodile, a black crocodile.
Oh, man, I think you've got the wrong place.
I think you've got the wrong number.
Oh, my goodness me.
All right.
Well.
Have a lovely day.
Hello.
Thank you, Paul.
Bye.
All right.
All right, Dot.
That's enough.
She's exhausted.
She's tired.
You can tell.
Poor Dot.
You know, she's old.
Yeah.
She's old.
She never got a purse back. I wanted him to rummage through Lost and Found and be like, we've got one. Imagine how tired. You can tell. Poor Dot. She's old. She's old. She never got a purse back.
I wanted him to rummage through Lost and Found and be like, we've got one.
Imagine how good that would have been.
He actually seemed quite sweet, didn't he?
He really did.
He had like a caring soul.
He probably gets Dot's types calling all day every time.
Oh, 100%.
They're the only people at podiatry.
Oh, no.
I've been to a podiatrist.
I've been to a podiatrist.
I actually have.
I've had my toenails removed surgically.
And then I went to a psychic and he's like, your toenails are removed.
Really?
How did you know that? That's so weird. Yeah, very specific. Well, Dot, it's been lovely to see you then I went to a psychic and he's like, your toenails are removed. Really? How did you know that?
That's so weird.
Yeah, very specific.
Well, Dot, it's been lovely to see you.
I've got an itchim to get to.
Right.
What is it?
And who?
What is that?
And is it just me of my own?
I've got one.
It's something embarrassing that happened to me on the way to the studio today.
Dot, do you have an itchim?
Yes.
For fuck's sake.
Yeah, I do.
I was trying to rap.
Read the room.
Bradley.
Is it just me or...
Do you miss...
What's his name?
You know the boy?
Huh?
Andrew O'Keefe.
What a man.
He's so brilliant with those cases.
And I don't know where he's gone. And I miss him greatly. He was so brilliant with those cases. And I don't know when he was gone.
And I miss him greatly.
He's so good.
Wow.
He's very good.
And were you also a fan of Alan Jones by any point?
I beloved Alan Jones.
He's now disgraced, not beloved.
Who?
Disgraced.
Didn't you love Rolf Harris' music?
Oh, my.
The wobble, wobble, wobble, wobble, wobble, wobble.
I've got to go.
I've got a Kevin Spacey film all the time.
I really want to finish it.
All right.
She's got to go.
Look, she's 96.
Thank you, Dot.
Off you go.
Thank you, Dot.
Help her out.
My foot!
Oh, shit.
She's tripped.
She's tripped.
Help her out, Rich.
All right.
Well, let's take her to the podiatrist.
Farewell, Dot.
Bye, Dot.
We'll miss you.
All right, you ready for my intermarship?
Please, please.
Okay, Bradley.
Is it just me?
Do you ever throw your food scraps out the window when you're driving?
All the time.
I did a banana peel yesterday.
Yeah, see, that's what I mean.
Fruit and shit. Perishables. Obviously, you don't throw your Macca's trash out the window. That's driving? All the time. I did a banana peel yesterday. Yeah. See, that's what I mean. Fruit and shit.
Perishables.
Obviously, you don't throw your Macca's trash out the window.
That's gronky.
Yuck.
But like, chook bucket items, that's fine, right?
Yeah.
You know what I do every morning?
I peel an egg.
I crack it on the side of my car, put my window down, and I peel the egg with my thumb and
then boil an egg and then eat that as I drive.
And then you don't throw the shell out the window, do you?
Yeah.
It's all biodegradable.
It's all natural.
I'm all throw things out the window thinking the birds will love that.
That'll be a good snack for the birds.
They can't eat an egg shell.
At the same time, when you throw it out, you don't want them to be on the road.
Well, that's the thing because I made a bit of an error today
because I didn't realise that you do this in Sydney.
I thought it might have been a country people thing because that was so the
norm on the country roads where if you're driving around and it's just farmland
basically.
Yeah.
You just chuck it out the window.
It's such a normal thing to do.
We would throw scraps and shit out the window of the school bus.
It was a very normal thing to do.
But today I just autopiloted on the way here and without even fucking thinking,
I just put my window down, chucked an apple core out the window
while I was in the fucking West Connects tunnel.
Oh, no.
Not in the tunnel.
Oh, my God.
What did I just do?
Like there was a car behind me.
Oh, my God.
There's no birds in a tunnel.
Oh, Mitchell, that's shocking.
In a tunnel.
And it was too late by the time I realised.
I was like, oh, I shouldn't have done that.
All the trucks, you've got banana peel on their windscreen wipers.
Some big Mack truck has to swerve.
To be fair, I think it's fine.
Not in a tunnel.
Maybe not in a tunnel.
No.
And also, I don't think I've done that the whole 10 years almost that I've been in Sydney.
It was autopilot.
Yeah, that reflex.
I don't know where it came from.
Oh, Mitchell.
I do it too.
Do you do chewing gum
no oh no that's not good you know not a lot you do don't you i don't have any gum the best thing
you can do is just like if you're at a cafe or something and they've got one of the serviette
dispensers pick up a fuckload of those put them in the glove box and then you can spit your gum
in god i've got the tissues in my glove box i saw some guy on tiktok he's like here's my life to
being frugal he's like a frugal guy on tikt TikTok. He's like, here's my life to being frugal.
He's like a frugal guy on TikTok.
And he's like, this is how I've saved $250,000 or whatever.
And he doesn't buy toilet paper.
He gets a wad of serviettes wherever he goes out.
That's a big commitment.
Because if you run out of serviettes, I feel like that would run out quicker than fucking toilet paper.
It's also thick.
Like a serviette is designed to get sauce out of your fingertips.
Yeah, I feel like a napkin.
It's got too much texture. You don't want to feel feel like a napkin. It's got too much texture.
You don't want to feel anything.
No.
No.
It's got bumps and shit.
Oh, awful.
Although I love a wet wipe.
Like a biodegradable wet wipe.
I mean, whoever invented that, I mean, oh, come on.
It's so confronting when you've just been using regular toilet paper to wipe your rear entrance or exit, whatever you want to call it.
Yeah.
It's so confronting when you use regular toilet paper to wipe it
and you think you're done and you're like, yeah, I'm clean.
And then you get a wet wipe involved and you're like,
I've been walking around with a dirty ass all this time.
I know.
It's quite humbling, isn't it?
Yeah.
It gets a lot more done than just toilet paper.
Also, like, it's humbling to know, like, how clean I keep myself.
Some men do not clean themselves at all.
They let water rinse down
and that is their claim can i get all up in there like i'm deboning a salmon fillet like i'm in there
i'm swiping i'm up and i'm downing it's like i get in every nook and cranny do you know what i always
forget to do which is so embarrassing because i'm a grown-ass adult now i always forget to clean my
ears oh yeah oh yeah you know it's an old thing that people say like oh don't forget to clean my ears. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, it's an old thing that people say like, oh, don't forget to clean behind your
ears.
Yeah.
I do behind, but just in there.
Yeah.
In there.
Oh, what do you mean?
Like the cracks?
Yeah.
In here.
Because sometimes, because I've got long nails.
If I just do this.
Yeah.
And reach inside the lobe and just give it a quick scratch around the edge.
I'm like, oh, that's confronting.
Yeah, same.
It's quite clean today, actually.
But a lot of like, I don't even know what it is.
It'd be sweat in there and like salt.
It's like dry skin and all that. Yeah. It's just like a white powder comes out under my nail. I'm like, but a lot of like, I don't even know what it is. It'd be sweat in there and like salt. It's like dry skin and all that.
Yeah.
It's just like a white powder comes out under my nail.
I'm like, shit.
Yeah.
I've got to clean my ears a bit more thoroughly from now on.
Interesting.
I always forget.
But how is one ought to clean their ears?
Yeah.
In the shower.
Do you just like pour the ASAP into the ear?
No, no.
You get a Q-tip and I think you swirl it around.
Yeah.
You put a bit of something on there and you clean it up.
I'll tell you what. Having Sean move in has really fucked my night time routine oh yeah because
i used to have my q-tips like the ear cleaners and the floss in the coffee table in the lounge
room because if i was watching tv alone at night i'd just get that shit done then and there but
now that he's there i can't do that in front of him that's putrid yeah wait so do you guys do your
morning routine well i guess you've got different routines.
Like in the morning when he's getting ready for work,
you guys, now you've got multiple bathrooms,
you don't share a
sink or do you have separate sinks? Well,
he's just sort of started using the main downstairs
bathroom as his and it's almost like I have the en suite
to myself. It's weird how it's worked out.
Is there a main downstairs bathroom?
Yeah, it's where the laundry is.
I think it's good to have different ones.
If you have an opportunity to have it.
I remember when I worked here, one of
my colleagues was saying, oh my god,
me and my partner, we could never go back to having
only one bathroom. We just couldn't cope.
And I was thinking, fuck, you're a snob.
But now, I'm like, nah, I get it.
Once you're there, you can't go back.
When I lived out of home, yeah, separate bathrooms was
incredible. Incredible. It's the best. Especially with lived out of home, yeah, separate bathrooms was incredible.
Yeah.
Incredible. It's the best.
Especially with the limited bench space.
Like, you don't realize how many products you need.
I've got ointments and oils.
And you have more products than fucking anyone.
I do.
I'm trying to pare it back, though.
Are you?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
You're doing a decluttering of all the bloody skincare.
Well, less is more, apparently, with skincare.
I mean, Jenna, you have 12.
Well, no, no.
I was right all along.
I know.
I was just, like, caught up in that, you know, the fat of it all. But you, Jenna, how many steps is your skincare routine? Usually, Jenna, you of 12. Well, no. I was right all along. I know. I was just like caught up in that, in the, you know, the fat of it all.
But you, Jenna, how many steps is your skincare routine?
Usually like four.
Yeah, okay.
Even that's a lot for me.
I wouldn't know.
But mine at night is now three.
Wow.
That's like Mitchell Coombs territory.
I know.
I use a retinol and then I use a face oil and then a night moisturizer.
That's it.
And in the morning.
What about cleansing?
Oh, that's in the shower.
Oh, I don't think that counts as a skincare thing.
Yeah, no, because that's like part of it.
I double cleanse though.
Yeah.
Apparently that's it.
Yeah.
That's the key to it.
When you cleanse twice.
I think I do that because I'll go, nah, it doesn't feel right.
Yeah, well, you know when you shampoo your hair, they say do it twice.
Yeah, I hear that.
First one gets just the oil out and the second one gets to the roots and cleans all the cells,
whatever.
So yeah, I cleanse twice.
That's literally where the phrase rinse and repeat comes from.
You're meant to shampoo twice.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Oh, funny.
But my morning, my daily routine is two steps now.
Two?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I'm actually somewhat proud.
Are you?
Wow.
Yeah, because you've been preachy all this time being like, oh, no, Mitchell, you've
got to get on this serum and this ointment.
I'm like, fuck that.
No.
Oh, no, I've got specials.
Let's get more.
No, I've got specials, like creams or serums that I'll use on a special occasion or a face
mask or an eye mask.
But normally, every day, it's a moisturizer and a special anti-aging serum.
I do like the peels that you suggested.
They're really good.
Did you buy them?
Yeah, I do them once a week.
Yeah, they're amazing.
They make your skin look incredible.
You didn't like them, did you, Mitchell?
Have I tried it?
Yeah, the Dr. Dennis Gross Face Peels, chemical peel, BHA.
They are great for your skin. That was the birthday present you gave me, right? Yeah. Yeah, I tried them, chemical peel, BHA. They are great for your skin.
That was the birthday present you gave me, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I tried them.
I didn't dislike them.
They were fine.
But I was like, I don't feel the need.
I'm not like sold.
I gave you a bunch of little things that I like.
And I'm like, let's see if he likes them.
Do you even use them anymore?
Absolutely not.
There you go.
They were hand-me-downs.
I'm surprised you didn't notice one was half empty.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
But don't worry, Darl, it's all almost over
and I, for one, am thrilled to hear it.
Hello, everyone.
It's your favourite podcast guest host and Mitch Turi understudy.
All right, hey!
I'm here to bring the good news to all 14 of Idjim's listeners
that the podcast is almost over, finished.
Burrito, I'm very proud of Mitchell and Mitch
and the other old lady that joins them on the podcast.
Forget her name.
Dot Wiggins.
Thanks for letting me be a part of the podcast on multiple occasions.
I think if you did a tally over the past five years,
I'd be up there with one of the highest repeat guests
that the podcast has ever seen.
So thank you for constantly letting me infiltrate the podcast.
I've loved every second.
But I'm very busy, you know, and I just I can't keep putting my life on hold to come and keep this podcast alive.
So with that being said, cheers to Is It Just Me ending and cheers to Trash Alley returning in 2025.
Oh, big showdown.
Oh, that was great.
What a sweetheart.
What a sweetheart.
No, I love all righty.
Can confirm Trash Alley is not returning in 2025.
It was trying to rile you up there.
It didn't work.
There's nothing but love at the end of this show.
I will say, though, he and I are reuniting in a way
very soon. If you're in Sydney, Melbourne
or Brisbane, alright, hey and I are doing
our joint Christmas show
together, our stand-up comedy show. It's called
Can't Be Bothered, Christmas with the Gay
Grinchers. And so that's coming to
as I said, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane,
moretalent.com.au if you want to get your tickets
or link in my bio. I can't wait. I have to
buy tickets. I'd love to go.
It's the first time in my fucking career that it's been a venue where when you buy tickets,
you've got all the dots and you have to click what seat you're in.
Oh, wow.
Normally, it's just general.
You buy a ticket, you rock up, you find a seat.
What venue are you doing?
Factory Theatre in Sydney, Comics Lounge Melbourne.
They don't have the dots.
You just go to first and best chairs.
And then Old Museum in Brisbane.

Dot.
The return of the dots and then I'll confuse people.
No, just Dot.

Well, you're familiar with the Tim Tam Slam, yes?
Oh, I see what you're doing.
Yeah.
Oh, this is good. Well, you've had a Tim Tam Slam.
Look at me.
Yes, I've had a Tim Tam Slam, and they work.
Yeah, oh, my God, they're stunning.
I know that you like to bear in mind the internationals.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'll get you to demonstrate a Tim Tam Slam for the internationals
that might not know what the fuck we're on about.
And this has turned into the best day ever.
Yeah.
Who would have thought one of the worst weeks of my life
could be flipped on its head?
I knew the best way to cheer you up was food.
So we've got some Tim Tams and a hot cup of tea.
Oh, God, it's hot.
Jenna, can you pass that please?
It needs to be hot, otherwise the Tim Tam doesn't melt.
No, you're right.
So a Tim Tam Slam for the internationals.
Tim Tam is an Aussie cookie biscuit.
It's chocolate-coated biscuit, like choccy biscuit
with a bit of choccy cream
in the middle. And it's just milk chocolate that is so soft that you hold it for 10 seconds
and it melts. So what you do is in a Tim Tam slam is you bite the corners.
You bite off two corners. They can't be next to each other. Different ends of the biscuit
diagonally opposite each other.
It's like an oblong.
And just a little nibble on diagonal corners of the Tim Tam.
Oh.
And then you stick one of the nibbled off bits inside the hot drink.
Yep.
And then you suck on the other end like a straw.
Here we go.
So that all the hot beverage comes through.
And it melts the inside of the Tim Tam.
There it goes.
Very quickly.
Quick, chuck it in your mouth.
It's melting.
Oh.
Oh my gosh.
So the hot tea that you've just slurped through like a straw by biting off the end of the
Tim Tam, you can suck the liquid in.
It makes it all fucking melt.
It's beautiful.
The whole thing is melting in my mouth.
So you've heard of a Tim Tam slam.
What else can slam?
What other foods can be used as a straw?
Well, you've piqued my interest.
I thought I might.
I don't know where this is going though.
Okay, well, I'll kick things off.
First thing we're going to try is a spring roll slam.
Interesting.
And rather than a cup of tea, I've got a cup of hot soup.
There you go.
That's what you might pair with a spring roll.
No?
I'm not mad.
Initially, I was.
I thought you were going to.
Thank you.
Oh, wow.
You kept the props piping hot.
Yeah. Are they still hot? kept the props piping hot. Yeah.
Are they still hot?
I was worried about it.
They're super scalding.
We stirred that really well.
Do you have a thermos out there or something?
All right.
So are these air fried spring rolls?
I popped them in my oven this morning.
Really?
Before I came in.
An extra crispy one.
And just for you, by the way, you know the floor air con in the car?
I had it on heat to keep these things warm, which meant I was fucking bored. Mitchell, you really do
think of everything. So bite off one end of the spring roll and then the other end
of the spring roll and then see if you can slurp the soup through it like a straw.
Still crunchy. I'm really proud. I feel that it has to be a food that has a bit of
airflow inside. It can't be like a dim sim slam. That wouldn't work.
It's tubular. Yes. Now, I agree. It can't be like a dim sim slam. That wouldn't work. No, it's tubular.
Yes.
Now, I appreciate that this is like complimenting flavour, savoury, you know, it's not making
me want to gag.
Here we go.
Okay, here we go.
Will it slam?
Here we go.
Spring roll.
Spring roll slam.
Nothing's coming through.
Oh, no.
No.
Suck harder.
Fight a dollar. Oh, it's working. Oh, no. Suck harder. Fight a dollar.
Oh, it's working.
It's working.
You got it.
It's working.
And now slam the spring roll.
Does it make it better?
I can see you through it, Jenna.
Oh, it's awful.
Well, it does slam, though.
It's still slam.
You can suck through it like a straw.
You can, but it makes it soggy and wet.
Are you ready for the next one?
No, but we have a podcast to do, so sure.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I mean, if you want to keep slamming the spring rolls, no rush.
We've got all day.
Is it miso?
Yeah.
I had a vague memory of you saying you liked miso soup.
I love miso soup.
Thought so.
Oh, my God.
This is brilliant.
Keep them coming.
I'm happy so far.
This is fun.
Right.
Up next, we have... Yeah. That was like a I'm happy so far. This is fun. Right, up next we have, that was
like a dinner or a lunch
option. Let's think breakfast, okay?
Yeah, it's like an amuse-bouche. Up next.
I don't know what that means, but I've always heard other people say
it. Oh, he's bending down. A
Weet-Bix slam. Oh!
Here we go.
You've got a bowl of milk like I'm a cat.
A little saucer of milk. Jenna, do you mind?
Here you go. If this milk is room temperature.
And one single Weet-Bix.
It's cold.
This is going to be hard.
I'm all about food safety measures, you know?
Do you think I do what I did to the Tim Tam and bite the corners?
You probably don't need to.
Like before you even put it in the milk, just suck through the Weet-Bix in front of the mic.
See if it has airflow.
Do I look like I'm vaping?
A little bit.
Oh my God, look at that.
It's in your mouth.
I could play this like a kazoo.
Please, please, please.
Okay, so let's attempt the Weet-Bix slam.
Will it slam Weet-Bix?
Correct.
It looks ridiculous.
Oh, no, it's too porous.
What if you keep sucking?
Nothing.
Suck harder.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Oh, don't choke.
I'm blooping. Now slam it The wheatbick does slam
This is not going to be easy for you to talk any time soon
You've just put a whole wheatbick in your mouth
Do you think Jenna
It's a wheatbick if there's no plural?
It was only one.
I'd say a wheatbick.
A wheatbick.
A wheatbick.
It's a little dry.
Yeah, wash it down with some milk.
But it works.
There we go.
There you go.
Would you say that it enhanced the wheatbick?
Because obviously the Tim Tam Slam, that makes it even better.
True.
No.
No.
Although, you know when you eat wheatbicks and they get soggy too quick?
Yeah. There's like a 30-second window ofix and they get soggy too quick? Yeah.
There's like a 30-second window of perfect Weet-Bix and they're gone?
Yeah.
You almost want to put them like you're stacking firewood.
Like there's some dry bits hanging out and then some real soggy bits in the middle.
It's like Jenga.
You want it to slowly fall down into place.
Correct.
That was, they all so far have slammed.
Yeah.
There you go.
What about the next one?
Okay.
Let me just grab it.
It's down here. Here we go.
Wow. My stomach has got a lot
of emotions. What about
a Chico roll slam?
Oh my god. Yeah.
I've never had a Chico roll in my life. Neither have I.
I'm not even sure what they are. Jenna, can you
Google what the fuck they are? I don't even know what they are.
I think it's vegetable bits, isn't it? Yeah, slide her
over. Wait, what am I? So it looks like a sausage
roll, but what's inside, Jenna?
Because I can't even remember off the top of my head.
Cabbage?
Okay, what's inside?
A Chico roll for the internationals, by the way, is an Aussie servo staple.
It's just a deep fried spring roll.
It's massive.
It's like the size of a Snickers bar.
It's primarily cabbage and barley, as well as carrot, green beans, beef, beef tallow,
wheat cereal, celery, and onion.
You had me at a beef tallow.
I've never actually tried one, so can you, rather than biting off the end,
just snap a bit off for me so I can try some?
Yeah, you can have the end.
And I was trying to think, what drink would one pair with a Chico roll?
My mind went where yours did, like a Cervo.
So I've got your favourite.
If it's tomato sauce.
No, a Pepsi Max.
Oh, my God. As if I'd make you drink tomato sauce. So I've got your favourite. If it's tomato sauce. No, a Pepsi Max. Oh my god.
As if I'd make you drink tomato sauce.
I knew this was fucking coming.
And you know he likes Pepsi Max.
That's my favourite.
Thank you, Jenna. How much airflow
does the, um, now it looks like a,
what is it called? Is it cannoli or something? Yeah,
cannoli. Yeah, it looks like a cannoli now.
There is nothing getting through that.
Oh yeah, give it a go. Just suck on it. It's like a sausageoli now. There is nothing getting through that. Oh, yeah. Give it a go.
Just suck on it.
It's like a sausage roll.
Don't think I wasn't tempted to do a sausage roll slam.
Oh, my God.
All right.
So, will it slam?
Chico roll.
Just try the air first before you stick it in the drink.
Oh, good call.
Like, just try and vape it.
It's a big cigar.
There is not an ounce of airflow.
Fuck.
Hold on, let me push, let me push.
Yeah, push harder.
I was sucking.
But you're going to blow on it.
It's a big cigar.
I'm going to blow through it.
Okay, there's probably not much use in trying to slurp the Pepsi, is there?
That has ruined a good Pepsi Max.
I'm no quitter.
Yeah, give it a go.
I mean, I do get fired, but I definitely don't quit.
Alright, here we go.
Will it slam? Chicka roll
in Pepsi Max.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Is it
working? Oh god.
It looks like your glands are hurting
from sucking so hard.
I'm just getting meat.
That's a fail.
Oh no. A Chicka roll will not slam. from sucking so hard. I'm just getting meat. That's a fail. It's a fail.
So a Chico roll will not slam.
Good to know.
And you were trying so hard.
I was.
Did you see my whole body shake?
Yes.
You can still have the Pepsi Max, I suppose.
It's full of Chico roll and beef tallow.
Oh, damn it.
Okay, well, can I just try some Chico roll?
I never have.
Yeah, that's your little corner.
Fuck it in.
All right.
There we go.
Ugh. Not good? No. Oh. No. That's your little corner. Fuck it, eat. Alright. There we go.
Ugh.
Not good? No.
Oh. No. That's not good for you.
You'd think being stuffed with vegetables it would be good for you. Nah.
It's a fail.
Fail all around. Just in general, before you've even slammed it,
it's not great. Nah, it's not for me. A sausage roll
is where it's at. Well, will it? Is that it?
Sorry, I'm trying to
swallow the fucking chicken roll. Um, no. I've got one more. Jeez, I thought that was the end. This is the last one. Okay. will it? Is that it? Sorry, I'm trying to swallow the fucking chicken roll.
No, I've got one more.
Jeez, I thought that was the end.
This is the last one.
Okay.
You ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
So, what about a chicken nugget slam?
Oh, my favourite.
Yes.
Because the crumb is quite loose on a Macca's chicken nugget.
It is.
So there would be a bit of airflow, you reckon?
Okay, so these are from Macca's.
But don't slurp the barbecue sauce.
I was thinking you could use the Pepsi Max. That might be a drink you get from Macca's. But don't slurp the barbecue sauce. I was thinking you could use the Pepsi Max.
That might be a drink you get from Macca's.
Or if you're really fucking game.
Macca's do Coke, actually.
They don't have the agreement with Pepsi.
You're really fucking game.
Grimace shake.
Give me the shake.
All right.
I also haven't tried one of these.
I'm kind of curious.
I think it tastes like a melted Freddo cake.
Oh, really?
That's not a good thing.
That's like, you know, an ice cream cake?
Yeah.
Oh, that's a bit...
I put it in the freezer at home to try and keep it thick, really? That's not a good thing. That's like, you know, an ice cream cake? Yeah. Oh, that's a bit... I put it in the freezer
at home to try and
keep it thick,
but now it's gone too thick.
Jesus.
Let me just give it a stir.
I got it without
the whipped cream on top
because fuck that.
That's a sugar headache
waiting to happen.
Yeah, true.
How do you describe
the Grimace Shake?
There's been a lot
of hype around these.
I think it's actually
like raspberry or blackberry.
Can I have a quick sip
before you tarnish it
with chicken bits?
I'm not going to tarnish it.
All right.
I just want to try the Grimm's shake.
What do you think?
Oh, yeah.
You're 100% right.
Melted Freddo cake.
Yeah.
Don't you think?
Have you tried, Jenna?
Very grape heavy.
It's described as a purple berry flavored milkshake.
Yeah, it is berry.
Do you want to try?
Yeah, okay.
Give it a go.
It's like a Hubba Bubba gum-infused Freddo cake.
Disgusting.
It's not bad.
It does taste like a Freddo cake.
Let me try again.
Actually, no, I'll wait because I'll slam it.
Oh, wow.
You know that the chicken nuggets could go beautifully with a thick shake
because one of my gross guilty pleasures at Macca's was always getting a
strawberry thick shake and dipping my fries in it.
Don't knock it until you try it.
It's a fucking killer combo, actually.
So, nugget and Grimace shake could be gorgeous.
All right, here we go.
This is the final one.
And isn't it weird how Macca's nuggets all look the same?
There's the round ones.
Yeah, they've got like a template.
Yeah, then there's the ones that kind of look like a...
I never even noticed that until you pointed it out.
It's so true.
You taught me that.
I don't know what this one is.
It looks like a drumstick.
And then there's the one that looks like a little duck.
Always.
It's got a duck.
Yeah.
I'm going to do the duck one.
See if it has airflow first.
Just bite a bit of nugget off.
Oh, yeah.
There's a bit of room there.
More than the Chico roll.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Will it slam?
Macca's nugget in a grimmer shape.
Yuck.
Here we go.
He's just laughing.
It's like I'm suckling a teat of grimace, Mrs. Grimace, of grimette.
There's nothing coming through.
Damn.
Look at the ends of the nugget.
It's terrible.
Yeah, it's been dripping.
I've eaten it, though.
Yeah?
Oh, it doesn't work.
Oh.
It's awful. Even just the grimace
And nugget combination
In general
No good
Awful
Aw fuck
Does anyone want these nuggets
Well I thought you might want them
Yeah
Good for you
I just didn't want to swallow
Oh god
There we go
Yay
Well done
So what are we concluding there
Weet-Bix
Will slam Yep Yep Tim Tam Will slam Obviously Yep Spring roll Yay! Well done. So what are we concluding there? Wheat Bix, we'll slam.
Yep.
Yep.
Tim Tam, we'll slam.
Obviously.
Yep.
Spring Roll, we'll slam.
You rate a Spring Roll slam?
Yeah, I do.
It was delicious.
You could even do it with soy sauce.
Oh, yum.
Oh, good idea, actually.
Chico Roll, we'll not slam.
No.
No fucking way.
And Chicken Nugget, we'll not slam.
Should we try the nuggets with the Pepsi just for good measure?
Because obviously the Grimace shake is harder.
You are sick.
It's a thick shake.
True.
I was just wondering.
I'm just curious.
You don't have to if you don't want to.
We've got the props.
Nah, may as well.
Oh, this Pepsi is like...
Look at it.
Oh, it's got all Chico roll in it.
It looks like the BP oil spill.
It's just like an oil slick on the top.
Here we go.
Will it slam?
Here we go.
Pepsi and chicken nugget from McDonald's.
Yeah.
Suck hard.
Well, this one actually air flows. Air flow. Good, good. It and a chicken nugget from McDonald's. Yeah. Suck hard. Well, this one actually air flows.
Air flow, good, good.
I feel like a flapper or a gangster.
Hey, come over here, see, Jenna.
Want to come over here?
No.
Put her, sit in my lab, hot thing.
That was disgusting.
Anything?
The chicken is too thick.
It's a fail. It's a fail. Damn it. Chicken is too thick. It's a fail.
It's a fail.
Damn it.
Chicken is too thick.
Okay.
Fail.
Disappointing.
I'm not sure what the conclusion of that experiment is.
I don't really know why we did that.
Just something fun.
It's a good FYI.
Yeah.
You don't just have to slam a Tim Tam.
Why stop a Tim Tam?
Yeah, and you've always said that.
You're always famously.
Pass me one of them, actually.
Yeah, okay.
The tea's still warm if you want a sip.
Oh, is it?
It's not that warm anymore.
No, it's not.
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why.
Right, I'm going to do a slam for old time's sake.
Come here, bitch.
Going to slam the fuck out of you.
Oh, it's going down your top, Mitchell.
You slammed too fast. How good is that? So worth it. It's slammed. Oh, that Tim Tams your top, Mitchell. You slammed too fast.
How good is that?
So worth it.
It's so good.
Oh, that Tim Tam slam.
You can't knock it.
That's so good.
I've got different MSGs and oils in my body now.
I feel really unwell.
They're all very carb heavy, aren't they?
They are.
Oil heavy.
Jenna got away scot-free with nothing.
Is it just me?
You should follow these idiots online.
Search couple of Mitches.
Okie doke, time for an announcement.
Don't panic.
Don't panic.
It's not a bad announcement.
No, it's not.
I think you idiots are going to be quite happy with the announcement.
It's one thing on the bucket list.
Yep.
That we've long spoken about and we're finally ticking it off.
Do you want to do the honours, Cherry?
Yeah, I can do the honours.
Off you go.
And we're finally ticking it off.
Do you want to do the honours, Jury?
Yeah, I can do the honours.
Off you go.
After years of discussion and the idea being thrown around and it being one of the reasons Mitchell Coombs was projected onto the world.
Unleashed.
Unleashed, yeah.
Whether you like it or not.
It is an idea that I had years ago and have wanted to do since this show started.
In the semi-final of Is It Just Me, we can confirm that we will be broadcasting live from Bogan Gate.
Thank God I'm a country boy.
We're heading to the country, kids.
Yeehaw.
My hometown, Bogan Gate.
You're finally going to be paying a visit.
Yes.
I'm so excited.
Where's the nearest hospital?
I've got health anxiety.
Is there one near?
Parks and Forbes.
Okay.
They're about equal distance, I would say.
All right.
That's handy.
So we're going to be going to Bougainvillea.
Yes.
It's such a bummer because Jenna can't join us.
No.
I can't.
Jenna's in Dubbo though.
You're close.
I know.
It sucks because she's going to be so close but so far away.
I know.
I know.
It's a fucking funeral in Dubbo.
Yes. I'll be doing the eulogy.
Oh, Jenna, we're sorry for your loss.
Thank you, thank you.
We are going to be broadcasting live from Bogengate.
So I thought why don't we-
We're not live, but yeah.
No, we'll be podcasting from Bogengate, recorded live.
We need to build an itinerary out because there's a lot of things that I want to get done and a lot of things I want to do.
Well, that's the thing.
I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze as much out of the weekend as we can.
This weekend, we will be there.
Yeah.
So, like, 30th and 1st of December.
Shit, by the way, Mugvember, very nearly over.
If you want one of our mugs, couple of mitches, dot com, dot au.
Brilliant.
Last chance.
The pre-orders close at the end of Mugvember.
I see what you did there.
Yes.
I just have to remind everyone one final time.
If you want one for Christmas, send it to every fucking person you know and say,
You know what I'd really love?
One of these.
That's how you get it done.
Maybe even a rash shirt too.
Maybe.
True.
Shit, yeah.
We've got those as well.
There are plenty of items on the website.
Dot, dot, dot.
Dot.
As we were.
Yeah.
So, there's so many things to squeeze in, but the problem is that they're in surrounding towns and it's going to be hard to fit it
all into one day.
So I guess you're going to have to pick which out of these things on offer you want to do.
All right, let's do it.
This is great.
It's like planning a holiday.
Yeah.
So I feel like the Bougainvillea pub is a given.
Yep.
I also feel like a given might be the park's dish.
I've not seen it.
Or as a child, I feel I have potentially driven through it or passed it or on it.
The park's dish is obviously famous for the role it played in the moon landing and broadcasting
that footage to the world.
And the movie, The Dish.
It's literally this huge fucking satellite radio telescope thing in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, it's massive.
But you have to see it.
Yeah.
But we really latch onto weird novelties like that in the country.
So do you reckon that's a definite?
100%.
How far is it from your place, the dish?
Well, it's on the way, fortunately, because we have to go through parks anyway.
It's a slight detour down the Newell Highway, but we can do it.
They've got a gorgeous dish cafe.
I feel like we can factor that into either a brunch or maybe an afternoon thing or a
lunch or something.
Great, great, great, great.
And then meanwhile in Condobolim, which is about 45 minutes away, the landmarks that
I can show you in Condo, I can show you the Utes in the Paddock exhibition.
Nice.
Which is precisely what it sounds like.
Jenna, give me your laptop.
Yeah.
It could be a case of once you've seen them on the laptop, that's all you need to know.
Utes in the Paddock.
It's an art exhibition where people have transformed.
It's quite fucking impressive.
Here we go.
The name sounds like it's nothing, but they've transformed the Utes into these gorgeous artworks.
Oh, I actually like that.
Is it a drive-by kind of thing?
Well, if you want it to be.
Well, there's nothing really in it for the podcast audience, though, is there?
That's true, but it's up to you, because we'll be posting online and stuff.
We'll be doing Instagram Lives, things like that.
Is this a detour?
Like, is it going to take us?
I think we skip it.
I mean, I'm not a car guy.
Oh, I suppose.
There's not a lot going on out there.
That's one thing that's on the list.
If we don't have time, that's fine.
Okay, yeah.
I'll put that down the priority list.
Put it down as a maybe, yeah.
The only other thing that I can show you in Condobolin,
the only other landmark is I can take you to the counter of the corner shop
where Shannon Knowles saw a little girl waiting in the What About Me music video.
Yes, yes, yes.
What about me?
Is it open still in practice?
Do they do service?
No, it's closed.
But they have this sign that literally says,
as seen in Shannon Knowles' What About Me,
because he's from Condobolin.
So he shot the What About Me music video
after his Australian Idol fame in Condo.
As you can see.
So it's empty.
Yeah.
Oh, that's sad.
No, I'll show you because roving reporter Oscar did a little parody of it.
Look.
What about me?
It isn't fair.
Oh, I've had enough.
So maybe it's been done.
That's all we can really do there.
Just recreate the Shannon Noll video.
I'd like it.
Yeah, we could also put the song over it.
I can't sing like Chookin, so perhaps I could just sit there and lip sync.
Did you not notice that he'd lost his voice at that one?
That killed him.
I thought it was pitchy, but I didn't want to bring it up.
The pitchy Chook.
Yeah.
Okay, so Kondo, I might pop that down the priority list.
I have to say there's also not a lot to show you in Forbes,
apart from the stinky cum trees.
Oh, I'd love to smell them.
I've never smelled a cum tree.
I'm not sure if they're still in bloom anymore.
Well, it's spring. They were in bloom in September. We, I'd love to smell them. I've never smelled a gum tree. I'm not sure if they're still in bloom anymore. Well, it's spring.
They were in bloom in September.
We're going in literal December, technically.
Yeah, I don't know if they will be.
How hot's it going to be?
Jenna, can you Google the bug net weather forecast, please?
Yeah, of course.
I don't do well in it.
Does your family have air con?
Yes.
Good.
Yes.
Do they use it, though?
They're fucking stingy with it.
Shit.
It'll be around 30 degrees.
That's all right.
That's warm.
That's the shorts weather, which is fine.
Yeah. Trundle. Oh,'s all right. That's warm. That's the shorts weather, which is fine. Yeah.
Trundle.
Oh, Trundle.
Another nearby town.
It has the widest main street in Australia and the second largest pub veranda in Australia.
How wide is the street?
It's pretty fucking wide.
I've got to tell you.
Look at this.
No, not even.
Look at that. It's really big.
I feel like we would have to drive 25 minutes to get there purely to just get a video of you crossing the road and be like, how long is it going to take him to cross the street?
We could just time it.
It's really fucking wild.
That's huge.
Look at those gorgeous girls walking past.
As someone like you that's lived in bloody Glebe with the narrow, funny streets.
There's not even room for two cars.
You could fit 12 cars driving in real life.
That's so good.
It's a weird flex, but it's there. Unfortunately, they're all in completely fucking two cars. You could fit 12 cars driving in really soon. That's so good. It's a weird flex,
but it's there.
Unfortunately,
they're all in completely
fucking different directions.
So if we were to try
to hit all three,
Parkes, Condo and Trundle
in the same day,
it would take hours.
Here's the thing.
So you have to really
pick your poison here.
You know what?
I just want to be in Bogan Gate.
I want to go to the pub
and I want to actually...
That's a given.
Yeah, but I want to do
some activity with your parents.
I want to ride... I've never ridden a, but I want to do some activity with your parents.
I've never ridden a tractor in my life.
Okay, well, that's easy. It'll be almost like a hobby hunt in a way.
Yeah, it will be.
I just don't want to.
In my head, it's like a little mini getaway.
So I don't want to be running around.
I don't want to jam-pack the schedule either, which is why I'm running a bar.
And I want to get a nice dinner with Jane and Ian, you know, and I want to spend time
there.
In terms of like close to home in Bogengate, I'm trying to think of like fun activities.
One of the things that is equally scary and also very freeing about being on the farm
is that you can scream so loud that no one will hear you.
I think I should get a video of you screaming into the abyss in the middle of a fucking
panic.
Well, that'll help given the current situation of my life.
Yeah, let's do it.
It'll be like a smash room adjacent, right?
It'll be therapy.
How fun will that be just to scream?
I just want to look out and look at the stars, country stars.
I do have a tradition.
Every time I take friends back to the farm, on the last night there before we drive back
to Sydney the next day, I reverse dad's ute on the dam bank. Yeah.
And we overlook the sunset and just crack some drinks sitting on the back of the ute.
That sounds gorgeous.
If only we could somehow get the fucking podcast equipment
to work with no electricity.
We could just do it from the dam bank.
Well, we probably could just do it on the little mics.
Oh, that'll be shit.
Yeah, and for one of our finals.
Yeah.
Yeah, nah, because that will literally be the second last episode.
Really?
Oh,
see,
and that feels appropriate.
Yeah,
so Monday's episode will be Caitlin Brock,
and then Wednesday's is Bogan Gay.
Yeah,
wow.
And then the finale.
Fuck!
Oh,
that's sad.
Jesus Christ.
What else can I get you to do on the farm?
We could move sheep.
They don't need to be moved.
We can just put them back where we found them after we moved them.
Yeah.
Can I milk a cow?
We don't have cows.
Dad can't fucking stand them.
Oh, well, really?
Well, yeah, because you know the saying, like, they follow them like sheep.
Like, they're sheep.
They just follow the crowd.
It's easy to move sheep because once you convince one sheep to go in the right direction, they
all follow.
Cows, you have to personally negotiate with every single fucking cow.
Yeah, right.
It's so frustrating.
Well, lock it in, Mitchell.
Let's lock it in.
Moving sheep?
Yep, yep.
And we can tweak it off the air and we can discuss.
I can take you for a ride on the Sido.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
The ATV.
I don't know what that is.
Oh, I've never done that.
That'd be great.
It is fun.
Fun.
Have you driven a manual?
Never.
I don't know how to drive a manual.
I don't know how to drive a manual.
Maybe we just stay at the farm.
We've got so many things to do.
I'll teach you to drive a manual.
Let's do the park's dish and the farm.
There's plenty of me to learn on the farm.
Oh, okay.
I like that.
Let's do it.
I've never driven a manual in my life. Oh, Oh, okay. I like that. Let's do it. I've never driven a manual in my life.
Oh, yes. Lock it the
fuck in. I can't wait to hear this.
I can't wait. I can't wait to hear it.
We got a lot to plan. Let's go for today.
I'm excited.
Jenna, fuck, I really wish you could come.
Can you pop in? I know.
I'll see what I can do.
It would help if you could drive. Yeah, I know.
Maybe I'll ask my mum to drive me.
Yeah, that'll work.
I mean, you could maybe come on the Friday and then go to Dubbo on the Sunday.
No, it doesn't matter.
It'll be too complicated.
All right, we need to go.
We've got to go, guys.
Yes, we've got to get out of here.
Thanks for listening.
It's a new episode coming out on Monday with the very gorgeous Caitlin Rooker fan favourite.
I'm excited for this.
So fun.
Enjoy it.
We'll see you in a couple of days.
Chat soon.
Bye-bye.
See you.
Bye.
Is it just me? A podcast by a couple
of Mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast
app.
Welcome to AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end.
We pretend the show's done, but it's not.
We talk shit for a little bit on the end.
We've run a bit long today, actually. We waffled.
It's been a long episode.
Yeah.
Not as long as the last episode.
Oh, yeah.
I'm excited for that.
Oh, fuck.
I feel like it could easily go wrong, though.
Why?
Trying to do our longest episode ever.
Because with that expectation, because sometimes the long episodes happen by accident.
They do.
But if we're trying to search it out, we'll just look at the clock and be like, true.
I know.
I think we'll be fine.
I'm going to have heaps planned.
I think we'll be fine.
We're going to be like, what is there to talk about?
Yeah.
But once we start, it'll be fine.
Do you think?
Yeah.
I had an idea for the final episode.
You guys can veto it now if you want.
We did it on Not My Cup of Tea as well.
We're going to order food.
Sure.
You always want food, Jenna.
Are you starving or something?
You have the Uber Eats app.
What's stopping you?
There's a gorgeous half-eaten Chico roll there.
That's so true.
Yes, it's got some Pepsi Max in it.
But you know what?
Eat it.
Yeah, so my idea for the final episode,
we did it on my cup of tea,
is because of the nature of a show like this,
it's very lighthearted and conversational.
You don't get to say the deep shit
that you really want to.
And so I think we should have a speech each.
Yeah.
Oh, I like that.
It doesn't have to be super long.
Just treat it like a 21st speech.
A few nice words.
You can get a bit deep if you want.
A few gags. Whatever you want.
And I'll have like the daggy sound effects with the microphone.
Is this legal?
So we can pretend we're actually at a 21st birthday or something.
Giving a little speech.
We all get a chance to say what we really want to.
Because otherwise we might regret not saying what we want to.
I think that's really cute.
I'm down for that.
I'm down for it.
Lock it in.
Lock it in.
Great.
And I'm still not on the fence about this song. I don't know. You're not on the fence. No, I'm sorry. I'm on for that. Yeah, I'm down for it. Lock it in. Lock it in. And I'm still not on the fence about this song.
I don't know.
You're not on the fence.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm on the fence.
I'm not convinced about a song.
I feel like we started the show with us.
I think it should be us to end the show.
The final words.
Oh, but we can't just be like, bye, and that's it.
We need a song to play us out.
Do we?
Well, yeah.
I think we need a bit of a song.
There's a lot of suggestions coming in.
I don't think Oscar should sing it.
He sings enough.
The eyes have it.
I do tend to agree with you there, Joel.
I've got some ideas for a song we could do.
Okay, go ahead.
Like, remember, I'm not saying them now.
I'm saying them now.
Do you remember, like, our last episode of last year?
We ended with,
So this is Christmas.
That was cute. Yeah, that was fun. And we all belted. Yeah, like a nice farewell song. last episode of last year, we ended with, so this is Christmas.
That was cute.
Yeah, that was fun.
And we all belted.
Yeah, like a nice farewell song.
That's all it needs to be.
Was that only last year?
Oh my God, man.
Yeah.
Is it just me on the fly,
but have the last 12 months
in particular
just flown by?
Yes.
More quicker than
any other year,
12 month period ever.
this late November already.
Like, what the fuck?
It's basically in 2025.
Yeah.
You know, apparently 2025 is like car maker really bad year for the world.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
I don't know.
Like, it's meant to be like a bit all over the place.
No.
Who said that?
Dalai Lama.
Yeah, on his podcast, The Dalai Cast.
The Dalcast.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Llama with a question mark.
Barely known.
What other ideas did I have for the last episode?
I've just been, it's just been chorting away in the back of my head.
At this point, it's going to be a six hour long Wicked Part One fiasco.
That's fine.
No, true.
You're not wrong.
Yeah.
Are Wicked's out by the time this is dropping?
Yeah.
Do you guys have plans to see it immediately?
I do.
I want to see it.
Yeah, I'm going this weekend.
I really want to see it.
I'm really excited. Yeah. It's going to be. I really want to see it. I'm really excited.
Yeah.
It's going to be amazing.
It's a bit long.
I'm not going to lie.
I've heard that.
Is it like, does it hit all the marks?
Were there some points where you're like, what the fuck's going on here?
Yeah.
And I feel like it's ruder to get up at the theatre if you're seeing the actual stage
version of Wicked for all the shit songs I don't like, like the fucking goat one.
Yeah, Dr. Dillamara.
Yeah.
Dr. Dillamant. Yeah, Dr. Dillamon.
Something bad.
No.
I've got the fucking singing goat, like Spammy.
We're all across Dillamon.
And so that's when I would get up and go to the tournament cinema.
Did you?
Yeah.
You took a bathroom break?
Yeah.
At what point did you miss?
Strategically, I knew because I know the show and the order it runs in.
I strategically held my piss for the fucking goat song.
I don't care.
Goat erasure, Mitchell.
Which is actually a big plot point in the movie.
I'm just as bad.
It is.
So wait, what's the point of the character?
Sorry, I'm all mean.
My question is, is he a real goat, CGI'd, or is it an actor?
CGI.
I can't wait to see it.
I'm going to wear pink or green.
I reckon green.
Green.
That's such an original thought.
Is everyone doing that like they did with Barbie?
Like, is that what people are doing?
I reckon, yeah.
Culturally?
Yeah.
Probably.
I might eat two bags of popcorn because Ariana's not eating anything.
That might be a trend that I start.
Have you seen the photos people have taken of the signs at cinemas being like, for all
our guests visiting Wicked, please don't sing along.
We have sing-along sessions, but don't fuck the movie for everyone else.
I saw that, but it's like, the sing-along sessions will begin the 24th of December.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, it's alright.
Christmas Eve vibes. But I will be seeing it.
Oh, fuck me. The grimace shakes
getting conversation everywhere. It's splitting.
Oh, what are they going to do? Kick us out
of the studio? What are they going to do? Fire me?
We're seeing you
all soon. We hope this podcast made you
feel at least 2% better today. That's all.
So we do. So we do. See you idiots. Talk to you next week. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. So we do. So we do.
See you idiots. Talk to you next week. Bye bye.
