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. In high school, I thought compulsory meant you had a choice, so my year advisor, Mrs Moiman, went, Oh, no, Mitch Math is compulsory.

I went, Fantastic! I'll do two courses of drama. Now here's Mitch Cururi and Mitchell Coons. Hello you! Hello you! Hello idiots. Yeah, the final three, huh? The final three. By the time you're hearing this, Churi and I will have finished our little Bogongate adventure. Yeah.

We'll bring you everything we got up to on Wednesday's episode. Mmm, the road trip was great. This is you fortune telling, of course. Yeah, because you haven't done it yet. No, not yet. What if we were to both perish? I was going to say, what if we had a horrible car crash? Oh my god.

Touch wood. No, Mitchell, I don't like any of that. Stop, touch wood. It was just a hypothetical. That's all. What if we get there safely and have a great time and come back alive and well and happy and breathing? Well, that's the plan.

Yeah. Unfortunately, our third wheel prize keeper, Jenna, won't be joining us for the weekend away. She's here now of course. I'm here, I'm here. Hello. Jenna! That's actually devastating that you're not going to be there. I know, but I'll appropriately be at a funeral. So yes. It's kind of real fitting for you. It really is. How many funerals do you have per year would you say? Oh too many. And this is my third year, Lucie, that I'll be conducting. You've given three. People barely give one in their lifetime. Wow! Yeah, I've never done one. Yeah, this is my third eulogy that I'll be conducting. You've given three people barely give one in a lifetime. Wow yeah I've never done one. Yeah this is my third. I'm not looking forward to the day I have to do one but you're a fucking old pro at this point. Yeah yeah they asked me. This

with all due respect why do people ask you like why do you keep getting asked for this? She's so solo naturally. The first one I did was for my great uncle, my other great uncle. Yeah. And it went really well and everyone was impressed. Sorry. Sorry. How can a eulogy go really well? Okay. So I don't make it sad. I make it upbeat and like a lot of them are just so boring.

You know, blah, blah was born in 19. Yeah. I'm not necessarily interested in whether they played cricket in the under 12s and shit, you know? So I bring up the fun bits or like sayings they used to say. But the second funeral eulogy, I organised that funeral. The whole thing? How old were you? Oh, it was like three years ago.

Who was it? It was my auntie. Why were you in charge of organising the whole thing? Because I wanted to put on the most incredible funeral. She was amazing. And I did. Did she leave like a list of wishes or anything? No. Nothing to go off? No, but her main song was Joanne by Lady Gaga. Wow! That is such a

funeral royal song. Isn't it? Is that your choice or did she request that? She loved Lady Gaga. Ready or Think, you're going. If only her name was Joanne, the auntie. I know, I know. her name's Carol. Imagine if you just dubbed over the top, take my hand, stay Carol. Just me going Carol. Well Jenna's funeral. We shouldn't be laughing, sorry. She would have laughed at this. That was her humour. I'm sure she would have.

Yeah, and she loved Lady Gaga. Condolences to the family. Yes, yes. Jenna will not be joining us, but yeah Mitch and I, our Bougangate adventure will be on the show next week. We're next episode. Just a couple of days away. Yeah. Meanwhile, we've got Kate Langbrook on today's episode.

Yay! Finally. Fourth time with Katie, our favourite. Yeah. One of our favourites. I shouldn't play favourites, should I? She's, you know, she is our favourite. She's so good. Radio, TV, comedian, host, author. She does it all. And you know me, I like to be over prepared. But there's something about whenever we interview Kate that I'm happy going in blind because we just yap.

Oh yeah, we ask, we have questions prepared most of the time. But you said at the end, we didn't even get to any of the questions. None. Absolutely none. Did you keep in this part or are you cutting it? Which part? Where she showed us her tit. Oh yeah, that's in there. That's in there. We didn't even ask. It came up naturally and then she like went to do you want me to and we were like haha and then she just did. Yeah. What a shame it's a podcast. You won't be able to see Kate flashing us. It's in our memory though. Kate hosts a podcast the Buck Up with Naith Valvo which is on iHeart.

I know that a lot of our idiots are already Buckwits. They listen to that show but a few of you might be looking for other podcast recommendations now that we're about to wrap things up. The buck up I reckon you'll enjoy very much our vibe. Can I give a few other recommendations while I'm at it? I personally think people should just stop listening to podcasts once we finish. No, I want, I feel bad leaving people in the lurch, Jenna. I want to give them at least something to go off. No, no, I think this is handy. Yeah. This is just like similar vibes to us I would say.

Nobody asked with Eden and Lockie, love them they're friends of mine. High scholars with all our own Hayden and Brittany. This is gonna be your influencer list of friends isn't it? Well not really they're just podcasts that are similar to ours. There's no need to shout at me. No I just know this is you're being paid. I'm not being, do you know what I won't do with them? No do it, do it. No keep going, no keep know this is you being paid. I'm paid for mention. Do you know what I won't do with them? No, do it. You're on your own, idiots. No, keep going. No, keep going. Who else? Okay, you guys can throw out suggestions as well if you want. I'm just thinking similar vibe to us. Nothing true crime. Let me get some. Oh, I was gonna say case file. No, that's not like us. Nobody asked with Eden and Lockie. Like I said, yes, they're friends of mine.

Hi, scrollers. All right, hey and Brittany Saunders. Have you heard We Mean Well with Lou and Jarchi? They're fucking hilarious. They're hilarious. I love Lou. Tony and Rhyme with Tony and Rhyme. Oh, come on. I'm sure most of our idiots are already tarpers. Yeah, I don't think Tony and Rhyme need our recommendation for listeners.

You never know though. True. A lot of people have told us that ours was the first podcast they checked out. Yeah, you're right. And the only. You're right, you're right. And of course, the buck up with Kate and Nathan. Yeah. Kate's about to give

you a little spiel about why you should listen to that podcast. I think you guys will like it. I'd like to pitch Life Uncut with Britton Law. Would you say that's similar to us? Yeah, two gals. Well it is, but they just talk about very different things. And also I will feature on that show in the new year in Bits and Pops. So you'll get bits of me. Fun. Alright, well if it's your first time listening, welcome everyone. This is Is It Just Me? Every week we

start the same way with two idioms, two things we noticed or we hate or we appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine, I do not know Mitch's. Mine is actually in reference to something that we spoke about with Kate Langbrook, which you're about to hear a bit later, but I'd like to play my case first. Yeah, go for it. Mine is merely something I've noticed that can be held so go for it. Held? Yeah I could, there's no urgency for it to escape. Oh right okay I thought it was like an I spy clue like you can hold it. Alright do you want me to kick things off? Go for it. Alright go on Brad. Is it just me or? Do you fucking love grilled fish? Oh! And will you not hear anything to the contrary? Yes.

It's good shit. Yes. For some reason, Kate Langbrook is so passionately anti-grilled fish. Why? She wants it to be crumbed or battered. I don't know. Oh, you're right. Forget.

But as you're about to hear, she called me a loser for enjoying grilled fish. And I'm talking like going to a fish and chip shop. Nothing fancy like a restaurant that you'd go to. No, no, no, no. Nothing like that. Just a fish and chip shop. I think it's mind over matter. I'm tricking myself into thinking, wow, I've made such a healthy choice.

I got grilled instead of battered. Look at me go. Yeah. I'm the same. There is something about a grilled fish that makes me feel so skinny. I'm like, oh, I'm sick. Do you know what I reckon it stems from? What?

Macca's trying to convince us that a seed mini chicken snack wrap is so much better for you than a crispy chicken snack wrap. But at the end of the day, it's from fucking maccas. They probably drenched the bastard in grease while they're grilling it. It is just one of those things you do, like skim milk, just to make yourself feel healthier. Even though it probably makes fuck all difference. No, but grilled fish tastes so good. Grilled fish with chili flake and lemon, oh my god, like drizzle lemon, is delicious.

I'm glad that you're backing me up here and now you didn't when we spoke to Kate. No, did I? I was left out on my own. Oh no, sorry, there was a celebrity in the room, so I had to side with them naturally. God, I love, I want fish now. Can we order fish?

No, I want fish now. Do you wanna do something about that? Should we? Yeah, let's order one. You turned to me like I'm your mother. Okay, sorry. Can we have fish tonight? Fucking we? Yeah, let's order one. You turned to me like I'm your mother. Okay, sorry. Can we have fish tonight? Fucking sort yourself out.

You're a great woman. You're so right. We can get fish on our own. But in the last episode, we can order food. Does that have to be fish? I don't know if that's the most celebratory cheers to five years meal. A year to five years, here's some hookah for us all to enjoy. All right, do you want to hear a bit of the original?

No. I've got a lot more fish to talk about. All right, sure. Did you guys ever... You wouldn't have, Mitch, because you had no water. Sorry to bring it up. What are you going to say? Did you ever fish for fish growing up?

Yeah, in the river. Yeah, of course. Oh, good. And is it just me on the fly? Or do kids not roll up a little piece of bread and put it on the end of a hand reel anymore? I haven't seen a plastic hand reel in a decade. Bit of bread, that's not going to get much done. You want to stick a live worm on that hook. Oh, so you are a country kid. Yeah. Nah, I just did wonder why.

I just found it too heartbreaking because we'd always catch carp, and the rule is you're not allowed to put the carp back, and it's certainly not edible, so you'd have to just leave it on the bank. Why can't you put it back because they're vermin or something? Yeah they're pests. Oh that's a shocking existence for a carp. That's why I kind of went off fishing. I want a pet carp. Nah pet fish to me sorry brain dead. I actually would love to get a pet fish the only thing that turns me off the idea is having more maintenance through like cleaning the tank and shit But imagine because I've got the cat Isabella imagine her reaction to a fish in the tank She'd be fucking glued to the thing all that.

She'd meep. What's it called? Meeped. She'd meep. Meep. Anyway, we done with fish chat. I did I really really thought that was Jenna's junk material and that wasn't gonna swim as much as it did. I could keep going but let's continue. Bradley, I'm ready. Is it just me? Did you know that Paddington the Bear is an immigrant?

Paddington the Bear is an immigrant. Paddington met the Queen. No. Mitchell, Paddington Bear, if I were to say to you, Paddington Bear, where's he from? I'm not actually that familiar. I don't have an answer. sorry. British, you can. British, he's a British bear. Right, that makes sense. Oh, my God. And I've lost my raincoat. Yeah.

He was born in Peru. Oh. Oh, is that why there's a new movie coming out? Yes, Paddington, Home. He returns to Peru. Interesting. So, fancy. He looks for his mother.

British accent. Changed with his Drizerbone. And he's- Where the fuck did that come from? And his gumboot. I went to see Wicked on the weekend and we will discuss soon. But I'm sitting there and his trailer comes on

and it's like, I'm coming home. And I go, oh cool, to Tottenham. And then all of a sudden he's on an airplane to Peru. And he's got a raincoat on, gum boots, a little bucket hat and a Marmite sandwich and I think we have not been educated right because I that is a British bear if ever I've seen one. I didn't know you were that attached to his back sorry. I'm not but that man. You're like I've been lied to. Yeah but that's almost like saying that Winnie the Pooh comes out and goes I'm going home to Sheng

Zang. You know my birthplace Wuhan China like sorry honey what's his name Winnie the Pooh comes out and goes, I'm going home to Shengzang. Like, you know, my birthplace, Wuhan, China. Like, sorry, honey, what's his name? Winnie, you're not from China. I'm now Googling what nationality is Winnie the Pooh. I've never given it any thought. Oh, let me guess. Winnie John Pooh. British. Pooh-ket.

Nah, British. It's shocking. Also, he doesn't have a passport. He's an illegal immigrant. Like, I'm all for immigration. But who would have thought that Paddington Bear, Paddington Bear being on Trump's hit list, Trump's so anti-immigrant, Trump's gonna kill Paddington Bear. Imagine being on a plane with a life-size bear in a plane.

You're applying too much logic to this situation. Too much realism. It's a fucking bear that can get on a flight. With a Marmite sandwich. Where's my Marmite? He's got a Harrods shopping bag on his arm. Sorry you're telling me this fucking bear was born and raised in Machu Picchu? Is it just me? You can follow the show online just search Couple Amich Mitches. If you don't, you're a

dickhead. All right. Let's not faff about three episodes to go. Every moment is completely sacred on this show. Absolutely. And Kate Langbrook, one of our favourite guests of all time. I think the first time she was on our podcast was fucking God, was it 2020 or 2019 even? It would have. It's because we were all coworkers. So Kate hosted the pick up. Isn't that so incestuous? Kate hosted The Pickup. I was doing late nights. You were working Kyle and Jackie Oh. Yeah. So we kind of all knew of each other in the business and then we started the show. And then you ousted her. And then I ousted her and then I

felt so good then I was ousted. Yeah. It's so funny. Wouldn't it be great if they brought Kate back to The Pickup? It's just musical chairs. I know. I'm it. Jenna wasn't here of course. She had a eulogy to deliver. It's just Mitch and I, we sat down with Kate and this is a bit longer than usual, but the podcast is ending and we have so much fun with her. There was a lot. We didn't want to cut much, did we? Oh God, no. And she's also the type of person that once you get her going, you can't shut her up. Yeah. And she's always pissed off at us for trying to wrap her up too soon. And I'm like, it's been seven hours, Dalen. Like, we gotta wrap this thing up. Her producer at the end was like,

guys, we're gonna have to end. Yeah, literally. Because I think she was doing the buck up with Naith Valvo after our record session. Correct, we were chewing into their recording time. Soz about that, Naith. Oh, all right. Enjoy it for the very last time.

Oh, I know, here's Kate Lerngbrook on the pod. All right, so Mitch, as you know, we are ticking off moments from the Ijun bucket list because we are Terminal, we are in end of life care. Are we? Have you not heard the news Kate Langbrook? No because you know I'm on a need to know basis. Shit well yeah we've been diagnosed with Terminal podcast.

Oh no Terminal brilliant. Yeah Terminal brilliant. We are ending the show after five years. We're ending on a good note. Mitch and I are still friends, barely, but we are. We are, we are. We are hanging by a thread. Oh yeah, the show is over.

So we're trying to tick off all the bucket list moments that we want to do before we end and having Kate Langbrook back for a fourth time. Oh, with me big. Yes. And that's partly why I was borderline harassing your gorgeous producers ass, because I was like, time's ticking, babes. Like we're nearly finished and all of our gorgeous idiots.

That's what we call our listeners, the idiots. Yeah, of course. Charming. They were begging for another Kate episode. So you're here and we are thrilled. Oh, I love it. But how sad and devastating for all of the gorgeous idiots. I know. They really took it quite well to be honest. No, they were devastated. They liked me and they were like what?

Kate, we had about seven messages going, yeah I guessed it, I picked it six months ago. How do they? Yeah, I don't know what they meant by that. How do they know? Alright, can I just say because you have such a long glorious relationship you two, what's the closest that you've come? You've obviously, you've hung by a thread, you've seen each other through a lot of changes with each other. What's the closest? The closest that we've come to a total schism and car park now. Okay, I'm still confusing like in the boot of my car. No, no, as in massive chons, punch-ons.

Oh, because the other question would have been easier. I tried to fuck Mitch, I think, three weeks into knowing him. But I thought I thought you were getting at. But I wasn't even going to ask about that. I mean, both of you are so eminently desirable. And we are we are sort of, you know, a mirror image of each other, you know, me, the masculine rugged bear and you Mitchell, the delicate daffodil You know I would crush you in all the right ways. I'd say a hothouse orchid

Perfect No, they're not I have to google every fucking plant that comes in my home. Is it gonna kill my daughter? Yeah, but why do you have a cat and assume it's going to die? Because most pot plants are poisonous to cats, except for the ugly ones. They're the cat-friendly ones. Do you know what? I love you, but if that were true, this continent island that we're lucky enough to call home would be strewn with the carcasses of dead felines because most of them live in houses that also have pot

plants and they seem to be doing okay. I think we're going to clock that up to your neuroses. I know but you know what people online are like, Kate, like I could just post something and in the background they'll spot you click this on and they'll be like, that's going to kill your cat. I'm like, oh fuck me, okay. Yeah but you need to not care. I couldn't care less about my cat's life. Yeah, that's right. No, you know what?

You're spot on, Mitch. Oh, then me? Good hair Mitch. You don't have good hair Mitch, but that hair's stunning. That fucking hair is wearing you, my friend. Anyway, but Mitch, I put up a picture like months ago and I'd had a massive night with Peter Allen Lewis, right?

Your beloved. My beloved, my beloved. And for some reason in the middle of the night, we got home about three o'clock and probably around five a.m. I was hungry. I was hungry. I didn't want to eat what he was offering. So I went downstairs and I started fossicking around and all I

could find was I think a packet of chicken in a biscuit and the reason I think that was I had no recollection. I woke up in the morning and then next to the bed was an empty foil bag from chicken in a biscuit and I was like, no wonder I'm so dry. I feel so dry. Anyway, so I posted the photo as in like, what about last night? You know, one of those, I had no recollection. And one of the messages I got was, oh my God, I know somebody whose dog died by suffocating in the alfalfa.

From the chicken in a biscuit. We shouldn't be laughing. No, we can laugh at that because twofold. One, Darwin. Yes. You Google that. Survival of the fittest. She's not talking about the city. No, survival of the fittest. But also the person that feels motivated. That is their response that they want to send you after you've had a big night and you've enjoyed an hibiscus snack in bed My response to that is actually just wondering how long did the hangover last because I'm only 20 bloody eight

And if I have a night where I get in at 5 a.m And I'm ravishing oh I could be hung over for a week ravenous really no ravishing. You're always ravishing You might also be ravenous You're always ravishing. You're always ravishing. You might also be ravenous and ravishing. Here we are, we always learn some words. Mitch and Mitch and the visiting bitch, they always learn some words. Talking to Kate is like when you bump into your English teacher after you've left high school, but they still teach you. Like you're at Coles and you're the checkout chick. So Kate, we're very lucky to have you back.

I wasn't done. How long did the hangover last? Oh okay, so this is strange. I've never had a hangover. What? I get very tired and I get dusty. I've never had a hangover. Kate, that is a hangover. I've never had a hangover. No, no, I don't get the head and the thing and the bleh. You know my liquid has never been solid but I've never had diarrhea ever in my life. No, tell you why by way of illustration we came back we were at a big party in Byron on the weekend and mad for three four days came back Monday night got home at 11 blah blah blah got four kids standing there I got up made them breakfast and went to yoga at 630

holy shit yeah wake up whistling I Yeah, wake up whistling. I feel sick at the thought. Wake up whistling. Doesn't matter what you do the night before. Wake up whistling. That is good. Yeah, wake up whistling. You know what I've started to wake up and do? I actually don't know what the name of the practice is and I don't want to get in trouble for cultural appropriation. But you know when you see a Chinese grandma in the park and I'm sorry. Oh here we go. No, no, no. They're in the park and they are like a Dutch windmill like you're all of a sudden in Rotterdam and they also clap the body and they clap the arms. They slap themselves, yeah, the acupuncture point. Yes, it's very that.

I think it's lymphatic drainage and I've been big into that every morning and I'm telling you, it's good. Very good. Where are you slapping yourself if we may know? Do you like to show me? Can I have a turn? Let me point to the areas that I slap myself. No, it's in like where the lymph nodes are, pits, neck, groin.

Yes, well they were everywhere. And what does that do? It drains it. It drains the lymphatic system. And you feel different how after? Well I feel a bit slow in the mornings. I do night radio so I get home late then I kind of sleep in later so I'm up and I'm kind of everyone's already started their day so I will Chinese grandma myself and I

genuinely forgot. Do you do the soles of your feet? Because I remember I was doing that for a while because I saw some Chinese guy on Insta do it and he called it digging for gold. You slap your feet, the soles of your feet, slap them like I can't remember 60 times or whatever and he calls it digging for gold. You slap your feet, the soles of your feet, slap them like I can't remember 60 times or whatever and he calls it digging for gold and he goes if you slap the soles of your feet you dig for gold you get the gold of health. Yeah. Good health. The magic of the bottom of the foot. I always see whenever I'm on

Daily Mail you know those random ads they kind of look like you've been hacked but it's also an ad it's like David Kosh admits to investing in this Samantha Rambatidge puts an onion on the sole of her foot and now she's 20. It's always that and those two people but everyone says put a slice of onion on your foot, put a sock on and you wake up and you'll have nothing wrong with you. Have you ever had one of those fake ads next to your name Kate? Disappointingly I haven't. Oh I'll get cracking. I mean what if you were going to imagine a campaign for me? What would it be? What would it be? Because it's always something ridiculous like Lisa Wilkinson swears by these vitamin gummies or something. It's always what you're known for, you know, like I don't know what I'm known for. Benders apparently.

Oh no, being an English teacher. Learn English now. I did Google you and you know what, this keeps coming up because I'm trying to buy a house at the moment, Kate. So I keep getting the ad for your godforsaken house. I'm like different tax bracket. Guys, I'm not buying Kate Langbrook's house. I don't think it is, Mitch.

Shuri, I think you're really playing yourself down. Oh, are you moving house at the moment? No, we've already moved house. We were trying to sell it. But you know, we had it. We moved in lockdown. When my husband thought we needed a challenge, we need a challenge. We need a new house. So we bought a house we hadn't seen because we were in lockdown. So we weren't

allowed to say. Oh my God. And so we bought it. And then it turned out we didn't need a challenge. We just needed to come out of lockdown. By that point, it was too late. We had this house anyway. That's what's happened. So you lived in an ice game. We're living in it now.

So which one are you getting rid of? I feel so slow today. Oh, darling, Mitch, I love you. You know what you're like? 50 first dates. What does that mean? It's just barren. Like everything is new to you. Oh, that I am quite

vague. Every day. You're like, oh my goodness, what is this thing? I'm a chair? What is that? Oh my goodness. I'm sucking air in and out. What's that called? Breathing. What's coming out of my lower parts? Mitch is urinating. Mitch, bless no, we're being being rude now, we're being mean. Also what's that sticker on your arm? Here Mitch. What is it? Don't bring it up. I'm getting it lasered off soon, it's a tattoo that I regret from when I was like 20. It's a Lady Gaga tattoo, it's the most poofy thing ever and I'm not into it anymore.

Because you were the biggest monster. I thought I was at the time and I was like I will always feel this strongly about an artist but I just don't feel strongly about fucking anything in my late 20s. No, of course not. And you know what? That will happen increasingly through your life to the point where you'll want to get your actual self lasered off. You know, I've got to say, Kate, like looking at you here now, having you on for what, the

fourth time, you have not aged a bit since we first had you on the show. Unlike us. Yeah, us haggard beasts. I'm 30 next year. Yeah, that's right. What would you say, Mitch? For him? What would you say he is? Well, it's interesting,

because he looks younger at the moment than he did like five years ago. Oh my goodness, I agree. Yeah. You know what? You've got boomerang looks. What's boomerang looks? A boomerang looks is what someone said to me years and years ago, is that those people who,

it's like they're thrown out and they come back to themselves and they come back younger. Yeah, I guess. Like, Hugh Zee. Oh, Hugh Zee. Like, Hugh Zee. Hugh Zee, his whole life has looked 82.

And now he looks like the best he's ever looked. He looks hot. He was talking about margarine on his Instagram the other day. He had a tub of butter. Oh no, that was disgusting. That was disgusting. The Nut-A-Lex. The Nut-A-Lex.

The Nut-A-Lex. He'd been to Costco and he'd finished like a three kilo tub of bulk Nut-A-Lex Mitchell. It's like a butter. Actually, I quite like Nut-A-Lex of all of them. It's got a nice flavor. I agree with you actually, to be honest. He was going, I've been to Costco and you know, doing all that bit. Holly said I'd never finish this tub. She said I'd never finish this tub of margarine. It's taken, how long has it taken him? 18 months or something? 18 months to finish this

tub of margarine. Of course everyone was confused but I watched the whole thing, I think I watched it twice. Did you read the comments? I did read the comments, great for engagement. I mean, come on. It's kind of like- Because people were like, seed oils, seed oils, you'll be dead by the time this is uploaded. See what I mean. See what I bloody mean. You know what I did the other day, I posted a story in my bedroom

and then someone commented going, so nice to see that your house is also lived in like mine. I'm like, go fuck yourself. What does that even mean? Oh yeah, that's right. It means that you were messy. They're accusing you of being messy. That's what they're saying, like, nice to see that my pig pen is also replicated in

your house. Yeah, I bet that's someone who knew someone who's dog choked on a chicken in a biscuit packet. Not the actual person because, God forbid, anything like that should befall anyone. That'd be horrific, wouldn't it, Charlie? Yeah, don't dwell on that. No wonder they've got to wind up five years of Is It Just Me? I know. We didn't get cancelled though. You never did, did you?

No. That's like me and Valvo on the buck up. We're just like, the conversations we have, it's so liberating. Sash, our producer, as you know, highly esteemed. She's always like, oh, I hope you don't get cancelled. I'm like, hey, how does that happen? I mean, I do listen to your podcast from time to time. And I feel like it would be an appropriate replacement for our idiots

who are looking for something new, because it's it's that same inappropriate humor that we have. Like, work people don't bother. You're probably going to get upset because there was an episode I heard you talking about how you're fully in favor of slut shaming and you were Oh yes, in fact we're going to have a special slut shaming party. How will that work? Feel free, we haven't thought it through. Don't ask for details Mitch, all it was just born, it was just sometimes you know you've got to hang on to things so tight that you want to let out.

You know in this world, where you're just hanging on to, you know you've got to hang on to things so tight that you want to let out. You know in this world. I get you. You just hang on to. You know on the podcast you can just let stuff out. But Mitch I'll tell you where you went wrong. Good hair. Betty from Blacktown Mitch. Even if people hate you.

Even if the Wokesters. You let them hate listen. Oh totally. Don't drive them away. Come hate listen to Katie. Yeah I agree. We're about to send an influx of our idiots your way and they won't be offended, don't stress.

They must be devastated. They were sad. Naturally. They were naturally very sad. By the way, you never answered what fight you had, you two. Well, you know what, we'll be honest. We've had many a fight, but they resolved themselves very quickly.

Yeah, I was gonna say, it's not really fights. Oh, you've never had a big one. It's kind of just, especially when we're both stressed and whatever, we're both like trying to compete. Who's more stressed, who's more tired. Yeah. And then it's just, especially when we're both stressed and whatever, we're both like trying to compete who's more stressed, who's more tired. And then it's like, how about we just be nice? Oh, you're like a couple with a newborn baby. Yes, exactly.

100%. I only had 10 minutes sleep. I only had eight minutes sleep. Yeah, we do get into those fights of like schedule and who's more busy, but we always know that that's the root of it. I don't think there's ever been a different root, you know? Yeah, like there's no particular one that springs to mind which I suppose is a good thing I mean, you know what? It's like hate to walk away from a very successful show just because you can't particularly be fucked anymore

That's all it is. Yeah. Well, that's right. And then you know what you get to do have the reunions. Oh And the constant speculation Mm-mm. And the constant speculation. Oh, the speculation. Oh, my God. Oh, Hughie and I are doing so many jobs. Next year. Next year, we're doing so many jobs. Yeah. I don't know how you find the time.

I was actually wondering about that because last time, well, one of the bloody times you were here, I can't remember, you were saying that Hughie's a workaholic. He could not understand why you would give up the radio show you did together because because he's like, what are you gonna do all day? He's currently not on the radio. He must just be harassing you going, come on babe, let's get the band back together. Well, you know, he is still very busy. Yeah, Nutlex won't eat itself, will it?

No, that's right, that's a lot of spreading. Anyway, it's true, he's not as busy as he was, but because he's very, he's very adaptable, Heusie, he's reptilian. I always say he's like a reptile, you know, that he can survive and thrive in harsh environments. And so now because his life has slowed down markedly that he's not doing breakfast radio now. He's all Zen

Oh, you must be getting I bloody tried to tell you didn't I yeah, I told you no No, but it's only for this period as soon as he starts his next big job that will all go out the window again But he's like a politician, you know, whenever they lose an election They're always like I want to spend more time with my family. Yes. You know, not during the 18 preceding years, but anyway, so you're doing that and enjoying it very much. Oh good. But yeah, he's just bought a podcast fan. Oh what?

He's bought a podcast fan. Well, how does that work? Is that the same as the slut shaming bus, Kate, or are they gonna be different things? You're very keen to get on the SS bus, aren't ya? I love a little slut shame. You know what I'm, I've got ideas for you, Kate. Here's what I'm thinking.

You have been to New York or any big sightseeing cities, and they've got those big, almost double-decker buses that have the glass top. And then they drive through New York, and then all of a sudden there's a flash mob, right? There's just, and they watch it, and they take their photos through the glass. Well, you and a bunch of slut shamers

can sit in this glass box, drive around the CBD and just yell out slut and shame? Okay, brilliant, but here's the thing and how you'll accommodate this I don't know. We are at once the slut shamers and the sluts. How's that gonna work? It's self-aware. In the same way that I can go, you're such a poof. Exactly. To Mitchell. Because I can. Because I am.

Correct. We can say the word. Yes, yes, yes. But then, Kate, you've got to back it up with actual sluttiness, I have to say. Oh, man. You can't just say you're a slut and then come to work in denim overall. Hang on, what if I take my top off underneath? Slut!

Please, come on. Okay, alright, I'll take it off.? Slut! Slut! Please, come on. Okay, alright, I'll take it off. She's not even getting it. She's unbuckling me overall. I'm unbuckling it. Hang on, I've got a nice bra on. Oh, she does. Oh my goodness.

Have I? What bra have I got on? I say pink. Here we go, look. Pink! How did you know? Beautiful. Oh no, I can't.

There's too much chub. No, there's not. You get the idea. Oh, there's a bit of chub. I've carried four children. I'm nation building. I'm doing the work of the nation that you two have so far chosen not to do.

We're trying, we're trying. Yeah, I was saying not too long ago in the podcast that I actually feel quite robbed that I don't get to experience birth and being pregnant. I think why the fuck should only women get to do that? I'm quite jealous. What are you laughing at? Yeah why the fuck? Why? You know what no one knows actually. No one knows. You know what neither of us could answer that. We're not scientists. We're not. I know but that's the B in my bonnet. I wish I could. Do you know what it's probably

only hours away until there's a scientific breakthrough and you can. I agree with you. And do you know what there's a lot of women who'd say, go at it, my friend. Be my guest, bitch. Go at it. Yeah, I don't want to give birth, but I think sometimes the idea of making a child naturally is very appealing to me.

I don't know, I'm just hard. What do you mean making a child naturally? You mean like, with one of my kind? Yeah. With the podcaster, author, TV host. I want to get a... You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Now, Kate, I want to know, do you miss radio? Because I'm at the point where it's 10 years

in commercial radio for me next year, nine years on air. And I imagine you had this feeling of like, Jesus, like to do a daily show and I did two daily shows. It's a lot. So did you get that like burning? I imagine it's like an old, old candle melting down, you know, and just the clock kind of just, it just kills you. Do you miss it?

Do you miss the daily shows? I don't think I ever had that experience that, mean you're just doing breakfast particularly. Yeah. You get tired. You know what I like the communion with someone and the exchange of ideas and the exchange of energy and with the audience as well but I'm not a person that misses things. So I don't really miss it, but which is not to say that I didn't love it Yeah, and that I will in the future not love it again. And also because Now I'm Nathan. I doing the the buck up that you just get that little Adrenaline shot. I mean probably why you guys are not enjoying the podcast with the full injection

of you know red blood vessels that you once got is because you're both tired from your other things. Pretty much, you just hit the nail on the head. She's like a therapist isn't she? 100%. Yeah, that's just what happens. And you know tiredness or the lack of newness of an experience when something becomes a chore, and it's not that you don't love it, it's just that it's a chore to be done

and to be sandwiched amongst other things. You have a different relationship with it. You've hit the nail on the head. I feel like it's not quite at the chore point yet, which is good. We're not there yet. And you've called it before it gets to that. Yes, exactly.

You must be loving the difference between podcasting and radio though. You're quite fond of light duties, I understand. It's a lot less on your plate, right? But it scratches that same itch. It's just so liberating and fun and it still has, and it also has a, it has more oxygen in it, I reckon. And because there's no interruptions, there's no there's no housework, there's no time-tent directors. Yeah and not that I've ever I've really never had a bad experience with them either. Like really I've had a dream run and also because I worked with Huzy who's so alpha I think a lot of them were scared of him. I haven't even had a listening session in 20 years. Wow, on air check.

Yeah, we haven't had one. Wow. But that also goes to show you guys, when you were doing Nova Breakfast and then Drive, when I first started at Kiss, you were on Drive on Kiss. Yeah, that's right. And you were on the street team and I hosted, you did an event. You were gorgeous. Yeah, I was 20. I loved it. But you guys were so good.

Did you do that with your show that you wanted to, you got to a point and you went, oh, we can't make anything else like what we're doing. There's nothing else we've got to give, so we're leaving? Jess No. With Breakfast we did only because we were tired and Heusie wanted to do more stand up, which he couldn't do with breakfast radio. And because my eldest son, Lewis, had had leukemia and that was when my youngest, the youngest of the four was five months old. So I felt like I'd been ripped away from Yarny, the little one. So I wanted to have some time

at home with him, right? So we were both on the same page with what we wanted to do. But I think you get to a certain point, my mate, you know Timmy Blackwell, brilliant, he said to me once, it just falls out of you. And you get to the point where as he would go, this isn't even work. When I said I was going to Italy, he goes, why? It's not even, this is not even work. This is just a pleasure. Why would you give it up?

And we got to the point where it just falls out of you, where it's just so natural and so that it really doesn't feel like work except that until AI catches up with us you do have to be there. I agree yeah, it's coming for us all AI. Oh isn't it and you know what I'm sick of hearing that everyone says at the moment and you know people get into these buzz phrases no doubt this was invented by chat GPT, which also I'm annoyed we have to say GPT every time. Why do we? They're already training us to say things that are annoying.

Anyway, people say, you won't be replaced by AI, but you'll be replaced by somebody who knows how to use AI. I'm like, that's the same fucking thing. Stop, just stop, just stop. You know, but you'll hear people say it now. It's also so unreliable AI. We've done a few experiments on the show, like could it replicate our voice?

And it's so far from being able to replace us. It just gets it all wrong. I know, but we think that now we're like, ha ha ha, look that man's got six fingers. But that's, you know, I wasn't an idiot, the robots are idiots. But if you think how like quickly that has happened. I suppose.

Yeah, they're coming for us. The sun has not set on us before there will be a bit of audio of me. I can't even say what I'll be saying because then I will literally have said it and can't use the excuse that it's AI making me say it. But it'll be something preposterous. Oh please. Or one of the three of us.

Actually speaking of which sidebar, I've noticed on the buck up that you guys beep the f-bomb. What's that about? You're allowed to say fuck here. Yeah no I know and we say it all the, we say it. We say it and sometimes we don't beep it but sometimes we like to beep it. Why? What's the difference between a bleeped fuck and a non-bleeped fuck? I don't know. No, that's me.

I just like sometimes to beep it. Yeah, right. Isn't that funny? Is that the theatre? Yeah, I just like the audio play of it. Yeah, I think so. I get that. I think so.

And also sometimes, you know now, Australians, all we can do is swear. There used to be a thing that when my husband would go to the footy, people would say, shh, there's kids around, so you couldn't swear. But now you just hear at the airport the other day there were two guys in high vis waiting and literally conversations, FNC and FNC and he's a man, they, but they weren't even being aggressive. F and C and F and C and he's a bad day but they weren't even being aggressive they literally well could not say a sentence without being punctuated by swearing and so I think sometimes very me my ears are burning it's me too I'm so Bavarian swearing Baron with my with who is my language in lieu of the word

um when I'm trying to think of the next thing. I'm like, oh, fucking, fucking. Yes, yes. Can I get fuck fingers? Everyone done. That's just Australian. Yeah. It's like, yeah, no. Yeah, nah is the worst.

I interviewed Stephen Fry last week and he said the same thing. And he is one of the most intelligent, funny men. Oh yes, how was he? Of our time. He was brilliant. You couldn't expose him to Mitchell. Mitchell would be like, what? Oh no, it would be. It wouldn, he was brilliant. You couldn't expose him to Mitchell, Mitchell would be like, what?

Oh no, it wouldn't work Mitchell. But you know what, Stephen Fry needs a bit of Mitchell. Like oil in water, you know, it would just, they'd sort of, yeah. Yeah, but you know what, delicious salad dressing. I agree, you're so right. Vinegar, coil and vinegar. I'll see how they go, no I'm being a Mitchell. No, he said that his favourite thing to do is to say fuck say fuck and he knows every word in the in the English language in Latin.

So for that man to say I love to say fuck. In the Latin. So if he is happy to say fuck then all bets are off. Yeah, of course. And I think did I don't know. Well, let's not get into the origin of the word. Of the word fuck. Yeah, was it Shakespeare or? I know he invented. Well, let's not get into the origin of the word. Of the word, fuck. Yeah, was it Shakespeare or? Oh, I know he invented balloon. Oh, he was saying?

He invented balloon. Balloon? Yeah, is a Shakespearean word. Google words invented by Shakespeare. Yeah, balloon. Oh, no, I know, I know. In fact, a girlfriend of mine has in her kitchen a list of expressions that have come from Shakespeare.

And when you read it, of course I haven't committed any of them to memory. Shakespeare. And when you read it, of course, I haven't committed any of them to memory. But when you read it, you're like, that's incredible. Yeah. Like they're in everyday usage. I know. You know, I can't give you one of them. I went down a rabbit hole of Shakespeare being gay on TikTok. And this, I'll tell you what, there's a good amount of evidence. Read that man's off. Read that man's work. I mean, that is a poor writing. If I've ever read it in my life, he is so gay. Really?

Can you think of an example? Yeah, think of an example. No, it's him being gay. No, no, his gayness. Just the iambic pentameter and the rhythm and the magic. Iambic pentameter! Thank you.

You asked for examples. I mean, you know, that $40,000... Hey kids, the stripper's here! Haha, fuck off! I studied theatre, that's all I know, I don't know... So did I! Kate! Iambic Pentameter, is that... Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Did it? Did it? Did it? Is that that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't remember what it was.

He probably was gay and also let's face it, he was in the theatre. I mean really. But in those days where the thrill the audience would get was seeing a boy dressed up as a girl. And then you get to see his ankles. What? Those people, imagine them on the slut-shaming bus. Oh my god. Through New York, they would lose their minds. They would live like that, and they're so used to throwing rotten fruit at such a medieval. Yeah, vegetable.

Prevy madam, thou art a harlot, and I am a scoundrel. Get aboard this horse-powered vehicle so that I may ravage you. What fun. You know another thing I heard on your podcast, Kate, not only slut shaming, but I was shamed in a way because there's something that you detest that I'm guilty of. What, people who eat grilled fish. Grilled fish. Yes, I'm a grilled fish.

Grilled fish loser. You know what, when I was at the airport on Monday night, this guy came up to me and he went, she had grilled fish last night, pointing at his wife. I said, she seems like a lovely woman, she's a loser. How could you tell just by looking at me that I'd be a grilled fish eater? And also what's your beef with grilled fish? You know what, it's just, it's not. It's just I can't explain to you what's wrong about it. It's like going into a cell with John Wayne Gacy and trying to

explain, trying to explain that though his paintings are nice, there's several deplorable things about him. So she said on the podcast that it needs to be battered or fried, never grilled. No, no, crumbed. Crumbed or battered. Crumbed or battered. Yeah, crumbed is good. I love a steamed fish, I'm sorry, and I'll stand by it. Steamed fish, that's okay. What? How the fuck is steamed okay but grilled is not? That is so unfair.

Don't question the logic of Kate Wigbrook. It's just the thing. I mean, I'm not, because sometimes, you know, people order a huge steamed perch, you know, in an Asian restaurant, and it's amazing. But grilled is just kind of depressing. Grilled fish, grilled flake. And I just can't handle the crumbed shit because there's never enough synergy between the crumb and the fish.

They need to get along. They need to stick together. But it's going to tie you when you try and cut them. They need to get along, they need to stick together. It's going to tie you when you try and cut them. Not a word of a lie, I made crumbed fish for my family today. I went to the market, I had a, something you two have never had, I had a fish craving. That was so fucking cheap. Cheap shot. I went to the market and I got some what?

Some what are they? Flathead, flathead jails. Yes, yes, very dirty. Took them home and crumbed them. As it turned out, because I'm living with five students, so oppressive, they all came out of the woodwork. All of them. And then my beautiful platter of fish was gone.

I had two pitiful little pieces left for me. So it was a crowd pleaser is what you're saying. Oh yeah, great. Crumbed fish. I'll make it for you, Mitchell. But was there synergy between the crumb and the fish? Yes, of course. Oh good, good.

Also, doing it at home, do your listeners care about this? Yeah, yes. The idiots like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. The idiots like this, okay. So cornflake crumbs, the best crumb. Oh. The superior crumb.

Never tried that. Panko, sometimes that might be where you lose your synergy. I love a panko crumb, but it's too larger crumb. It's a big crumb. I love that this is the Kate Langbrook legacy. I always see Melbourne socialites when they're sick, Joe Creasy will go, I'm sick, I'm sick. Chrissy Swan's soup has saved me.

She dropped off a metric shit ton at my front door. I go, okay, sure. Kate Lingbrook is just dropping off a grilled, no, what is it? Crumbed fish. Never grilled. Never grilled. Crumbed fish.

That's your legacy. And very hard to drop off. It is, yeah it is. Yeah. What do you make that's good? We spoke about it last time, or you spoke about it, I think I've heard in the past. You make a lasagna or a bolognese or Valvo does.

Oh, so Valvo's mum, Lynn, you know, because his dad's Italian. Yes. Giuseppe. Couldn't be more Italian. I was going to say, did you fucking make that up? Surely. No, it sounds like it doesn't. Anyway, Lynn makes a stunning ragu.

Don't look at your fucking watch. I got it. I got it. I got it, I got it. What is that? No, no. I'll take it off. N-O. It's off, the watch is off.

Out of respect. What's that movie where he puts his grandfather's watch up his arse and it's some war movie? Couldn't tell ya. You're gonna relive that scene. This is, thank god you're here. Vietnam PTSD, that pad, he puts a watch up his to it. What is it? It's a comedy.

It sounds it, yeah. We haven't seen it. No, I promise you it is. Anyway, you're looking at your watch, no lady likes that. I took it off, I'm listening. No, you took it off after you'd given it a good look. I checked the time. Did you realize your story was thinking about Giuseppe and his dumb ragu you went let me distract. Oh no it wasn't.

It was actually not Giuseppe's ragu. So see those things yeah not just for hooking your sunglasses on also for listening. It's Lynne's Oh shit. Anyway she makes a stunning ragu. I make a lot of food. I'm always feeding six people. Now seven, now that my elder son's got a girlfriend. Oh. Gypsy. Oh I would kill Gypsy. Beautiful name. You would kill Gypsy.

What? John Wayne Gacy. That's not what I said. Look at my art. Come in my caravan. Come on, was that chat GPT. Don't turn this on me. Can I just say, everything you've said to Mitchell was gorgeous hair. Look at those nails. You called me a fag.

She's also heavily implied that I'm dumb. Don't worry. We're on the same page. I'm a boomerang beauty. Five years ago, I thought, who is this cretin to you? Now you're hot. I think you're beautiful. You've never been more beautiful.

That's a compliment. And you know what? Her gorgeous co-host, Nate, gives her shit. You know what he described her as? He said, you look like someone that would smell like a dog. Yes, like a dog. Not that you do smell like a wet dog. Yeah, terrible.

That you look like someone that would, which I feel is worse. So do I. It was the worst. And then he, but here's the beauty of him. someone that would, which I feel is worse. So do I. It was the worst. And then he, but here's the beauty of him. He didn't even realize how horrendous that was until I shrieked in horror.

He didn't realize. And then he tried to act like that's not an insult. And then he goes, surprisingly, you always smell good. I mean, everything. He was just like he was like a man being marched to a shallow bush grave he just kept digging. Yes of course well I think the issue that is you can change your smell but you can't change if you look like you smell like a wet dog can you? Well okay so he has a go

at me for wearing a lot of jewelry for having a lot of cushions in my house. Can I tell you sorry to interrupt one time I was walking along listening to your podcast and I had my little moot pack on and I was going insane being like, what is that in my bag that keeps jingling? Are they my keys? What is it? And then I stopped walking and the jingling continued and I was like, it's Kate's fucking bangles. It was my Bracha Lecter. I was going insane. By the way, Sasha French is here. Come around here.

She's just walked in. Hi Sasha. And you know what? Sasha French hates going through security with me at the airport. Oh my God. All the bloody bangles. And some of them are really hard to get off.

So you're like, eh. You know that thing there? They're taking my epidermis off with them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't even remember what I just interrupted. What were you saying, Kate? Oh, I don't know. No, you were saying how Valvo insulted me.

Yes, yes. It's nothing but insult. We do love Valvo. If you haven't heard The Buck Up, it's on iHeartRadio. Get it wherever you get your podcasts. Valvo, if you don't know who Nath is, brilliant Australian comedian, is very funny and you two together are fantastic. We love it.

And I did say before that I reckon our idiots will love the buck up because you've got a very similar mantra to us because we end every episode with, we just want people to feel at least 2% better. That's all just 2%. That's it. What's yours? It's similar, right? That's our money back guarantee.

Our money back guarantee is that you'll feel better at the end of the podcast than you do at the start. No matter how good you were feeling, it's really good. Because also, you know, people are into true crime. Why are they into true crime? I know. I don't understand. Why are they into it? It's sick and twisted, but I love it. I love Case File. I love that podcast. Yeah, everyone loves it. But it's like then the same people are like there's too much violence in the world. Well why do you think? You've made an industry out of it. Yeah that's true. And they've got to keep turning up those dead bodies under old floorboards or people ain't got nothing to listen to. And we're running out of serial killers. You know in the

early days I you know I sucked my teeth into Dharma. He killed 30 boys. And they go, oh, what about Gacy? He killed this many. I watched one the other night when he killed two. I thought, oh, turning this off. No, that's right. People can't keep up. No, they can't. They can't keep up.

What's gonna happen? What's next? Look at your watch. Tell me what time it is. I'm taking it off. I don't know what I'm destroying. Is the reason that your gorgeous producer, Sasha, is loitering there?

Is that because we're cutting into your buck up recording? We're about to record the buck up. Are we insured? I'm so sorry. We should let it go, shouldn't we? Hey, Sasha, what was that movie where... Poltergeist. The Watch Up the Arses. Have we gone back to that? It's a comedy movie and he puts his grandfather's watch up his arse or he gives it to someone. Is it Pulp Fiction? No idea. She doesn't know either. Look why it's like I'm mad and I'm just making things up. Let me Google.

Why aren't you Googling? I am. What am I Googling? No, no, but Mitchell's normally Googling. He is, but he's protesting. Well what am I supposed to type into Google? Like all sorts of unspeakable fucking things will come up. Oh I know. Be careful. Your algorithm is really... yours probably won't change, Mitch Jury. You know I had Watch Our Pass anyway. I just had to add War. In Pulp Fiction 1994. You're right. There you go. The relief. The relief. I mean have you watched that film? Yes. You don't remember the watch our scene? There's a lot of

that happens in that movie for that to be the takeaway. There is but also I think the reason a lot of actors I think do that speech as an audition. As a monologue. I think I did it at 17. No wonder I didn't get accepted into Juilliard. That's a shame. I thought you would have done Shakespeare, my Lord. Othello, yes, the Iambic pentameter.

Don't start me. And at the, give me a little something from your theatre. Oh my God, Kate, this was so long ago. I don't, I honestly, the way my brain works, and Mitch can attest to this, it's like one of those, one of those etch-a-sketchers where like, if I like, oh yeah, in a couple of days is a good bump for me and I'm done. It's gone. It's fish and chip wrapping.

That's me, yeah, that's me. Once it's gone, it's only good for, yeah, we'll get our suffocating dogs. We love you. Thank you for coming back. This will be your last time on is it just me the podcast? Last time with the company of YouTube beautiful Mitch's no no one be I love you Thank you for being you know what you said Kate did support us in the early days. Didn't she Mitchell when I love talent I Love talent. It's very sweet

I just think talent is talents not as common as the amount of podcasters would have you think. You know what I mean? But true talent is an extraordinary uplifting thing and you two have it. Oh, that's so sweet. Thank you. And I've loved my moments with you. Thank you, Kate. So have we. Most requested guests to come back too because we asked the idiots and they said, Kate Lingbrook, do you have a nickname for your listeners? Buckwits or something? Yeah, Buckknuckles, Buckwits, Buckheads.

Buckknuckles. Buckface. Oh, Buckface. Buckface is good. Yeah. Anyway, that's what we've got our people and we're happy to welcome your idiots. I'm sure they'll be right at home. They'll be migrating over to the Buckup.

Kate Lanebrook and Nathan Valvo. We love you, Katie Brooke and Nathan Balvo. We love you, Katie. Thanks for coming back. Love you, love you. Bye darlin', bye. All right, we're gonna be back again on Wednesday, guys. Second to last episode in the history of the podcast.

The semi-final if you're a sporting type. Yeah, that's it for us. Catch you soon. Bye you then, idiots. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of midges. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end.

We pretend the show's done, but it is not. Did anyone else clock that mispronunciation from cheery right at the end there? Yes, I did. I did too, yeah. It was harking back to blinds. Yeah. Ready? And we're happy to welcome your idiots.

I'm sure they'll be right at home. They'll be my-a-grating over to the bucka. My-a-grating. My-a-grating. My-a-grating? Instead of my-a-grating. Well, it's the same as blinds and blinds. You just add an extra syllable there.

My-a-grating. Now, Jenna, did you want to address the rumours on her? Which one? We don't have to tie him. The fact that you are biosexual. I don't know why I said that. Myograting. Myograting.

It just slips out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, my favourite genre of movie always has been sci-fi. I thought we were going to say true cryum. Sci-fi. Oh, I thought we're gonna say true cryum Now I assume Jenna that your eulogy at the funeral on the weekend yes will have made so many people cry yeah Yeah, well, they wouldn't have been a dryer. I Know I like that. I like that's cute's cute. Should we talk about Wicked? Sure. Have you all seen it?

No, I haven't seen it yet. I'm waiting for- What the fuck you waiting for? For my mum. You've had a week. No, I know my mum and I have been planning to see it together and she's in Dubbo at the moment. Oh, with everything going on. That checks out. Have they got a cinema in Dubbo? Yes, they do.

Maybe you can do that after the funeral. Yeah, that's actually, I was actually planning to do that. How many people does it seat? It's a normal cinema. Really? Yeah but there's only like four cinemas. Yeah, yeah I get you. Maybe say they think like the one in Orange, I've not been to the one in Dubbo. Yeah it's they're identical to the Orange one. Oh is it? Yeah. Yeah, no gold class but it's still there. Oh I went to a lounge, I went to a Hoyt's lounge, can I tell you, these, I'm not being paid to say this, but Hoyt's do lounges and oh my god, it was like you're at home.

It was a full lounge, no divider, cushions, you could just sit with, like I said with Stephen, put my feet up on a poof, then I said, Stephen, get up. And my legs on a poof and then it was incredible. There was like 25 seats in the cinema, it felt like gold class. So it's like not quite gold class, it's middle class. Yeah, it's called Hoyts Lounge, but it was the same sameish price as a normal ticket. I loved it. I really liked it.

Cause yeah, the seats do get uncomfy, especially if the movie is as fucking long as Wicked. Yeah. You know, in Europe, I didn't know this. There's legislation that says that if a movie goes for over an hour, 40 minutes, there must be an interval for 10 minutes. Really?

Yeah. So there's an interval in the European screening of Wicked. No way. You know what we need to normalise by the way? What was that play I went and saw last weekend, Jenna? August, O'Sage County. Yeah, I'll never be able to remember the title. How was it? Oh, brilliant. But also we need to normalise having two intervals. It was a three and a half hour show with two intervals, 15 minutes each. And I was like, oh, that's perfect. Because you know, one half of the show sometimes drags on a bit

and you're like, checking the watch. Are we a bloody intermission yet? It was great. Cause both times we had intermission. I was like, oh, well, ready. I'm so into it. How good is that? Great.

Did you like the show? Yes, so good. Was Pamela Ray good? Outstanding, as you would expect. My favourite actress from Wentworth. I nearly said Wicked. Couldn't be more different. How good are plays?

Oh, I love plays. I do How good are plays? I love plays. I do fuck with a play. I love plays. Maybe that's our next sort of venture. Yeah. What, plays? Yeah. Because I was thinking as I was watching that, oh god, how do they remember all those lines?

I don't know if I've got it cut out. What's the phrase on the door? If you cut out for it, yeah. Yeah, I don't have the chops acting wise. If you've got it in you, yeah, it's very stressful. I think I do. Yeah, you'll be right. We're all thinking it, so I'm glad you said it. I'm the only one with any actual theatrical experience. No, I have theatrical experience. Yeah, yeah, but I'm talking about people paid to see it. Didn't seeing the play at Bellevue Street Theatre in Sydney, I highly recommend.

I was thinking, I want to know what fucking lines he was reading. I was a brother. Oh, my God. Really? Yeah. The one that fucks his cousin. Yeah. Inbreg little dog. Because I was getting confused with Angels in America, which is a gay AIDS play. So you're either dying of AIDS or imprision. Mitchell, that is all theatre. that is all theatre school is.

Hey, 19 year old kid, you've got no life experience, you're still in the closet, you don't know your sexuality, you fuck your cousin and you're riddled with AIDS and your wife is leaving you. Space jump! 100%! Pay us in US dollars. I love it here. Anyway, it's been a long episode.

Should we get out of here? I want to give my thoughts on Wicked. Oh yeah, fuck. Thoughts? You went into more detail about the lounge than the actual film. No spoilers though. I thought it was great. I thought Cynthia was brilliant, a perfect, a perfect Elphaba.

I really thought she was great. Hated Bok, thought he was shocking. I want to punch Ethan Slater right in the munchkin face. What, just the character or his betrayal? No, the betrayal. His betrayal. Not his the character or his betrayal the betrayal is but his Betrayal not a child. Sorry. Oh, bye. He's betrayal. Yes, you're wrong And I don't I'm not I don't get the hype around Jonathan Bailey Oh, I love I didn't even know him from a block of soap

But I thought he was really good as Fiera because I isn't in Bridgerton or something. Yeah I was there were getting weddings for him, but he's gay. Yeah, he is. What? Oh, that changes everything. It does. Yeah. The only thing I was shocked by or I actually liked with a little moments that in the production on Broadway you watch and you go, that's fine how they did it. Like the prosthetic line in the cage, like in the Broadway shows, like a little puppet. But then in here I'm like, oh yeah, it's like they can do it as CGI. Yeah. And then all the animals that are around, like when Alpha gets born and there's just a bear as the midwife.

Were you also tempted to get up and piss during the Dr. Dilliman disaster? Dr. Dilliman. Something bad. Shut up. The Dr. Dilliman subplot is my favourite. I just want to fucking kick him. There's something about that character.

You meant to connect with him and feel sorry for him, but you want to kick him? Something bad. I love poppies. Shut up, you're a go. Fuck off. There's something about that character. You meant to connect with him and feel sorry for him, but you want to kick him? The thing that... I love poppies. Fuck off. Michelle Yeoh was good as well as Dr. Beatrice, whatever her name was. Madame Morrible. My only beef with that is that the stage version

of Wicked that I've seen, the person that played Madame Morrible, she was the original freak on Wentworth. Not Pamela Ray, but the prisoner, 80s version. Fuck, what's her name? Can you agree? What's her name again? The original freak on Wentworth.

So she did Madame Morrible and she did this thing where she screams, people of Oz, like addressing people through a microphone. And she goes, we must find her, this wicked witch. And it sent chills through the whole theatre. It was so scary because she just shrieked. Maggie Kirkpatrick. Maggie Kirkpatrick. I did a scene with her at acting school.

Sorry, we'll come back to that. Let me make my point. But the movie version, the movie version, she basically whispered it. She goes, this distortion, this repulsion, this wicked witch. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Pelt it.

Wicked witch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, Jenna, what the fuck you did a scene with Maggie Kirkpatrick. What are you talking about, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, commercials and she was the scene partner. And you forgot her fucking name, you just have to Google it. Yeah, I knew it was Kirkpatrick. Your close personal friend Maggie Kirkpatrick. I did a scene with Sarah Snook and then I like when I was a kid and then when I interviewed her I was like, oh wait, she didn't remember. Maggie remembers. I don't think she does. Can we all quickly end the show on a hell, hell, hell high note competition?

A what? See if we can all hit the Defying Gravity note. Oh, controversial opinion. I'll play it. Hang on. This is obviously the original riff. Controversial opinion. I think that Cynthia over did it like over riffed a bit. She added a bit to it.

I know she wanted to make it her own, but I was like, everything else in the movie was sticking to the stage show. And then she just went a bit row when she's like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Oh am I meant to be going? Yeah. Oh god. My throat already hurts. That's the thought of trying to do this. That was not bad. Oh my god. The way your tongue stuck out like.
