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. Have you never seen a snake? I've never seen one.

City boys, I tell ya. I fought one off with a shovel. Ha ha ha! I wore it as jewellery afterwards. Now here's Mitch Curie and Mitchell Coons. Hello you. Sorry what? Hello you.

Howdy you. Howdy you. Now I'm talking like there's flies around me, so I don't want to open your mouth too much. Oh yes, okay, context. Sorry, sorry mate. Sorry to be that bitch. No, no.

Idiots, we're coming to you from Bogangate right now. Life from Bogangate, oh my God! Oh, thank God I'm a country boy. The long awaited Bogangate trip has happened. We're still here in my childhood bedroom right now. Oh my God. This is hilarious. We're in Mitchell's bedroom. It is, this is where you, this is where you discovered who you were.

It was actually a single bed until the last six months of me living here. I got a double bed for my 18th and then I fucked off to Sydney. How cruel is that? I have to paint a picture for everyone listening on the wall behind Mitch's head and the bed, there is a canvas which screams by low. Like clearly there's a country target near here. They're actually reject shop artworks. Yeah, they're little canvases.

One is, one's got a TV on it. One's got a radio on it and one has a typewriter on it. My passion for media. Oh, Mitchell, that is so cute. And behind me, there's a framed photo of Bandit, your childhood dog. Yes, my pet. There is what looks to be a stock photo of a guinea pig. No, that's my guinea pig.

Mitchell, that is from Google. That's from, that is from Getty Images. Can you not see the Valencia filter from Instagram over it? Oh my God, I actually can. That's my guinea pig. Who was it? Who is this? can. That's my guinea pig. Who was it? Who was this? That's Russell.

My guinea pig. I don't think you've spoken of him. Well, there was one Easter that I couldn't be given chocolate due to Crohn's disease. So instead of chocolate, they gave me a guinea pig. What are you laughing at, Steven? Yeah. My boyfriend, Steven is here. Hi, Steven.

Hello. Pricekeeper Jenna is not here. She's currently Medeology as we speak. The irony that she's how far away is Dubbo from Bougainville? An hour and a half. Hello. Pricekeeper Jenna is not here. She's currently mid eulogy as we speak. The irony that she's how far away is Dubbo from Bougangate? An hour and a half. Yeah. Well, I mean, just for setting up context again, the show is done next episode. This is the second last-

The semi-final. ...episode of Is It Just Me ever. I actually forgot that. Thanks for bringing that up. No, no, I feel it's necessary because this is such a big moment. I, as one of Mitchell's best friends, have, has thrown around the idea of coming to Bocongate and we've never done it. Despite many invitations, it's fine.

I've not taken it personally. I know, poor Ian and Jane, your parents, who are hosting a very good weekend, might I add. Yeah, we've had a gorgeous time. But I was explaining to you, Cheri, the reason behind the country accent. Yeah. Because farmers, they mumble a little bit. You know what I mean? Yeah, they do. Yeah, they talk like that.

Well, they talk out of a little crack at the bottom right of their mouth. And I said, no, there's a reason behind that. The reason that kind of people kind of talk like this. And I had to train myself not to talk like that is because instinctively they don't open their mouth very wide. Otherwise they'll swallow flies. Yeah. Because you city folks, Stephen and Mitch, you've been absolutely shocked about how

many fucking flies have been in your midst. It's ridiculous. I don't know if it means that I stink or I need to wash myself better, but my back is covered in flies. So is yours, Stephen. I can't believe also you said that plagues are real. Oh yeah. And not of flies.

Is this, this is not a fly plague. This is not a fly plague. This is just normal country life. But I have lived through two mice plagues and one locust plague. That's biblical little shit. I know. But it was just my normal. It's weird to me when you two react the way you react, cause I'm like,

well, shit happens on the farm, mate. Can I say something? Yeah. I don't want you to take offense to this. Oh God. But you make so much sense now. Oh really? You make.

I have so much, I have so much respect for you. After seven years, he finally respects me. I have respect for you. What do you mean I make sense? I want to hear this. I have empathy for you. The life at the farm, everything here is set to kill you or remind you that you could be killed or something else was killed.

Walking out there at the front of the house, we walk past this little patch and you go, yeah, that's where the guinea pig is buried. I might as well not walk. Yeah, we've got a full pet cemetery happening where you park the cars out the back. Yep. But I actually do mean that. All jokes aside, this is not an easy upbringing for a little gay kid that wants to be on TV and radio.

Yeah, there was a spider in your slide and you were not even phased. Yeah. Yeah, like different things phase me these days. I don't like slight inconveniences, but things that other people would be horrified by is just so normal here. Yeah, but then Instagram won't refresh and he flips out. Yeah, exactly. Shit Wi-Fi, I could stab a c***. No, yeah. Sorry, I'm not going to use the C word, but like a spider in my shoe.

I'm just like, pack her off. Yeah. We had the best time here. I mean, first of all, the road trip with the three of us, wasn't that fun? Beautiful. Three boys. It was like the hangover, but gay. We played my favourite driving game, which is windmill.

And it's as simple as it sounds. If you spot a windmill, if you're the first to scream windmill then you get a point Yeah, but the best part is And you were so bored by the comp set you were like, oh, I'm not gonna get into this Eventually after six hours on the road the competitiveness comes out and all of us sport. Oh Stephen is so sweet Then you go guys. He said he said a windmill maybe yes, even if you were anyone else Oh, if anyone else had said to me, is that a windmill maybe? Yes, Stephen, if you were anyone else. Oh. If anyone else had said to me,

is that a windmill? I would have gone, windmill! And claimed it as my own. But I was like, yes honey, it is, it's yours. Oh, you guys are sweet. You get the point. It's because I didn't know what a windmill was. We had to Google windmills and show it to him.

To be fair, I didn't know it was a pump. Did you know windmill's pumped? Is it just hanging on the fly? Did you not know the windmill's pumped? That's the whole purpose of them. I thought they told, showed you the wind speed. How would they show you the wind speed? Well, you look at it and go, shit, it's windy.

I don't know. It is helpful in that regard. But who went to the winning windmill? Was it Stephen? Stephen. Stephen, well, it was a tight race. Mitch was topping for the first time in his life. And then I was losing.

And then we got neck and neck at one point. We were all on 10 windmills. Yeah. That's never happened, by the way. We were neck and neck. It's never been a three-way tie. That was really fucking intense. And I we were all on 10 windmills. That's never happened by the way. We were neck and neck. It's never been a three way tie. That was really fucking intense. And I had to focus on keeping you guys alive because I was driving, but I was

like, where are the windmills? Where are the windmills? I know it did stress you out at one point cause Steven was almost passing out in the back of the car cause he tried his first rooster roll and we didn't think he was going to make it. That was really disappointing because we were in Bathurst and I was going to Red Rooster and Steven said, I don't think I've ever had Red Rooster. And I said, oh, strap yourself in young mate, because I'm about to blow your tits off.

I love Red Rooster. Every idiot that's listened to this podcast knows that. I cherish Red Rooster. They sponsored this show in the early days. They did. And so I got you my favourite order, the Rooster Roll. And he was like, mmm chips, beautiful, beautiful chips, but rotisserie chicken. I don't know.

He goes, it's okay. Yeah. You like it. I was like, do you want to walk the rest of the way? Yeah. That's why we like it. Cause it is kind of shit. It's soggy and wet.

That's why you enjoy it. Cause it kind of tastes like it's been chewed already. But at a point I've made a million times, there's less guilt attached to it compared to KFC. Yeah. KFC, you can feel that in your pores. You feel better. A week later.

Yeah. But Red Rooster somehow feels cleaner. It's by no means healthy, but it feels cleaner than KFC. It looks like real chicken. So that's what it does to your brain. Yeah. Yeah. Um, the road trip then got us to Parks.

Yes. The quick detour by the dish. The dish, which has a new name. We're in Gabble or something. They've changed its name. Actually, Price Keeper Jenna. Oh, never mind. I'll Google it.

No, Stephen can Google it. No, Stephen, let's put Stephen to work. Stephen can Google it. Have I ever got reception where you are, Stephen, in my bedroom? I feel bad you're sitting on the floor. We should have got you a fucking chair. Yeah, man, this is very comfy. I got myself a pillow.

I'm currently kicked back on my own bed. I mean, this is where Mitch discovered that, you know, there wasn't going to be a Mitchell Coombs. What? What do you mean? That it wasn't going to be a Mitchell Coombs? It's Mrs. Coombs. Did I say Mitchell Coombs?

You said Mitchell. I was like, I'm silly. It's the country air. It's thin. No, it's actually so dense. This is such a false representation of my upbringing. Cause I was raised in a drought dog. It's been pissing down all day.

I know. It's so muggy. The drought, although Mitchell, blue sky for the first time in 24 hours. F***ing hell. That is so cruel because we've been trying to film things all day and it's been pissing down. And now that we're sitting indoors, blue sky, that'd be right. Sorry, we went to the DISH. Yeah, which is for the internationals, the D dish is one of the, it's the biggest radio

receiver satellite in New South Wales. And it now has a new name. What was it, Stephen? Murray Yang. Murray Yang. Yeah, they gave it a new name in 2020. The biggest thing I was surprised by during our weekend away is that the things that I thought Cherry would find boring as fuck, and I almost apologized for before they happened,

because I was like, you might not enjoy this. He just went down a rabbit hole. He taught me things about the dish that I didn't know. He was Googling in the car going, Oh, did you know this? Did you know that? It's basically a huge radio telescope. We would have said radio. That's a bit triggering, bit soon. Oh, sorry about that. No, it actually helped put man on the moon. Do you want me to kiss you better?

Oh, hilarious. It was beautiful. It was like I was on a science excursion to the CSIRO. No, I agree with you, Stephen. It was, it was very a science excursion to the CSIRO. I agree with you, Stephen. It was. It was very fun. And then, oh my God, what about when we left and we were trying to leave and then we went out the entry. Oh, that's on me.

That is on you. Because the dish closed at 4.15, oddly specific. Bizarre time. And they had these big gates that open automatically. And I drove up trying to leave and it was 4.18. It wouldn't open. So I thought, fuck, we're trapped at the dish. Yeah. So I'm like, fuck, I'll call reception and I'll say, can you open the gates for us? And who answered the phone again? It ended up being one of those idiots.

Sophie, if you're listening, you were very helpful with your rather basic advice, which was drive out the exit, not the entrance. My best part was she goes, is this Mitch and Mitch? Yeah. She went, I recognise your voices. And I said, oh, so I'm so sorry that we've wasted your time with this fucking request, but I could have been there for hours. I didn't know it was a separate gate for the exit.

Shout out to Sophie, the idiot at the dish. Love you, Sophie. You know what? She knew how to fix it instantly. So it can't have been the first. It must have happened a million times. Yeah, reverse. Of course, we eventually rocked up in Boggan Gate. Definitely. So we've kind of been the first people to do that. It must have happened a million times. Yeah, reverse.

Of course, we eventually rocked up in Bougangate. The dish is not far, just in parks, 45 minutes away. And then we went to the Bougangate pub for dinner. Wait, wait, wait. Before we get there, can I call you out on something? Yeah. So, Mitchell probably edited this out of the podcast. Depends what it is. Well, you don't live in Bougangate. It's a fake and it's a ruse. And I spoke to Stephen about it in bed last night.

I'm like, did you see the sign? Yep. You actually live in the Forbes Shire, the Shire of Forbes. Yeah. Can everyone hear that lamb outside? Hold on, put your microphone up there. Lamb. It's a baaah ham.

There's sheep on the sheep property, interestingly. Oh my god. Oh my god. What is it doing? Fuck up. Is it? He wants milk. That lamb is going to piss me off. Shut that window Stephen or I'm going to fucking make lamb chops for dinner. Right underneath the window.

Oh my god. Oh fucking hell. It's still going. It'll disappear. It'll go away. Okay hang on. I'll respond to the allegations. Yes, I am known by some as the Bogangate Kid and Bogangate is part of the Park's Shire. Correct. But in order to drive to my property, you do have to cross the border into the Forbes Shire.

Right. But my postcode is still 287 fucking 6. That's the Bogangate postcode. Well, I didn't want to call you out, but I just saw it. I thought something's not adding up here. No, you're right. You're absolutely right. I'm a fucking six. That's the Bougangate postcode. Well, I didn't want to call you out, but I just saw it. I thought something's not adding up here. No, you're right. You're absolutely right. I'm a fucking fraud, but we still took you to the Bougangate pub.

Oh my God. The Bougangate pub has had a glow up. I haven't seen it before, but it was bougie. Oh, I'll show you the before shots. The Renaults are stunning. Yeah. And also I've been hyping up the chicken schnitzel at the Bougangate pub for a long time, years and years and years.

Hand on heart, not even being biased, the best schnitzel I've ever had, because they don't overcomplicate it. It is just an ingem they've whacked in the oven. Is that what it is you think? I'm pretty sure. What, just microwaved? That's why it's never changed. No, not microwaved, in the oven.

Right, okay, sorry. But it's so beautiful and I'd been hyping it up to you and then the audacity on you, you didn't even order a schnitzel. No, I didn't. order a schnitzel. No, I didn't. What the fuck? No, no. That's why we're here. No, because earlier in the day, Stephen got to feed a baby lamb milk, the baby

lamb that you can hear now. And I was just so besotted with it that when lamb was on the menu, I thought, well, I can't resist. You're craving lamb chops. I was staring at this beautiful little potty lamb that we're currently bottle feeding. You thought I'd eat you in a heart big, darling. There is a sick part of me that thought, well, I know how the sausage is made. Let me try it.

Do you reckon on some level, the fact that I was a big part of sheep slaughter, that's why I don't really gravitate towards lamb on the menu? Must be. I don't know. If it's a subconscious thing, I never order lamb. Maybe, but you still wear plenty of wool. So I don't know if it's a subconscious thing. I never order lamb. Maybe, but you still wear plenty of wool. So I don't know if that's true. But also we did win the ham raffle. It was thrilling. Yeah, it was so much fun. And the best part is Ian and Jane are celebs. Like people know Ian and Jane, Ian and Jane, Ian and Jane. G'day Coomsey.

G'day Coomsey. People know you too. Oh my God. I mean, the look on everyone's face. Oh, another shout out. Was it Sarah that we bumped into at the Bougainville She was too scared to talk to me. I didn't even get to talk to her Bloody boyfriend came up and said sorry missus is too nervous to say hi. She was a hoot We had a great old yarn. That's sweet I think someone thought that I was Mitchell Coombs because someone came up to me and was like yeah She loves your videos. I don't think she's got the right Mitchell. She had her wires crossed. Oh, someone's at the door Hello. Hello. Ian's here. Hello. This is Mitch's daddy and Ian, come on, take the mic. Hello.

Hello. Sit on your son's bed. No, no, I'm not staying. No, come on, it takes two seconds. We've got a podcast to record. Ian, come on, you've never been on this show. You guys are going over the dam later, aren't you? Yeah, that's why we're in a rush. I thought so. I won't waste your time. Ian, what was Mitch like growing up here at the farm? Was he a helper? Did he help you or did you always know that he needed to get to the city, get into the inner west?

Mitch avoided work at all costs on the farm. I actually got him to do anything, he'd do it wrong. I invented weaponizing competence. Really I'm sure. There was an incident with a ride on Moa where he tried to run over his brother. You're kidding. Yeah, it worked because they banned me. He still refuses to ride it because we said you are banned.

Really? Yeah, they fell for it. I wasn't allowed to mow anymore. Suits me. He grew up very quickly. What does that mean? It went from seven to 24. Talk it in the mic.

Really? He grew up very quickly. Really? What does that mean? I'm curious now. That means you were never a kid. You were always a grown up. An old soul. What does that mean? I'm curious now. That means you were never a kid, you were always a grown up. An old soul.

He argued with us like a grown up would. To run over his brother with a ride on Moa, that's genius. That's really smart. At the end of his time. He never gets to ride a ride on Moa again. The band hasn't been lifted. It has, but you... No it hasn't, no.

Really? In your eyes it hasn't, but in ours it has. Poor Sean. How can you be sure I've learnt my lesson? Well, you don't know that, but we're prepared to give you another chance. Well, we might just move on. Ian, great to have you on the show. Oh, yeah, I'll leave.

Thank you. See you. Thanks, Ian. Yeah, so what was the other thing we did when we were here? Well, the pub. Today, we did the pub and the dish, and then today was just farm time. We haven't't left all day. No in terms of going elsewhere. We've been on the property all day Yeah, I mentioned a couple of episodes ago that yeah One of the beauties of being on a courage is that you can scream at the top of your fucking lungs

Fulfilling it's like the smash room you're letting it out. Yeah, and I believed you you lulled me into a false sense of security I went you know what Mitchell Coops my best friend will not lead me astray of course we're on open property. Stephen was filming and I just thought that you would enjoy it because you can't do that shit in Sydney. Noise complaints. No you're right you're right. And so I thought just let it out scream with the top of your lungs and you did take a listen. Do you want me to demonstrate? Yeah, you let it out. You go first. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh It hurts my internals. By the way, I'm absolutely fucking with you. People will hear that. We've got so many naivets. Oh my God, Mitchell, stop. The home phone will be ringing right now.

You're like, Jane, what's going on? You prick. They definitely heard you scream. It echoed. But didn't it feel good in the moment? It did. It was cathartic, yeah. Yeah, totally. It was nice.

It felt good to get it off my chest. Speaking of cathartic, we went to a Catholic church. Oh, we did. We did. Oh my God, Stephen. Loved it. Stephen, people need to know this. Oh my god, Stephen. Loved it. Stephen, people need to know this about Stephen. A bit of character building for you.

You're obsessed. You are not a Catholic, but you're obsessed with the Catholic church. I am so a Catholic. You aren't a practicing Catholic. I'm as Catholic as a gay person can be. Okay, fair, fair. I had no idea that Saint Stephen had a penchant for parishes. I don't know what it is about churches for you,

but I mentioned there's an abandoned church down the road. And Stephen went, Oh, I love churches. I was like, yeah, I don't know if they love your back, but sure. Yeah. Well, we did go and we didn't burn up inside. Yeah, beautiful.

There was like chartreuse carpet, these wood panels on the wall. Salt, there was salt there in a tub, which I thought was odd. That's a bit- There was the stations of the cross above all wood panels on the walls. Salt, there was salt there in a tub, which I thought was odd. That's a bit- There was the stations of the cross above all the windows. We didn't film anything there. That was internal content.

Internal content. I love that. You mean just memories? Yes. Internal content. Maybe you'll have to post something on a couple of Mitch's, Stephen at the abandoned church, because he lapped it up. We'll put it all up for poster.

I was frankly just running out of ideas of what to show you in the local area. I was like, there's an abandoned church if you want to fucking skate across. Mitch was throwing it off as if like he had nothing left to give and then Stephen jumped at it. I thought you guys were into it too. You were flipping through the hymnal book. Yeah. I was like, I'm not going to waste my time.

I enjoyed it. Yes, they had like the sheet music for our father who asked him ever, hallowed be thy name. Yeah, you asked me, is that the song from Kath and Kim? And I was like, no, it's a prayer. What do you mean? Yes, that's the song from Kath and Kim. No, because I was looking at the sheet music going, is it the same arrangement that you had that day night before? Yeah, and that's my favourite part of the Bible when they go to Fountaingate Mall when Jesus appears. And also, Chiri, you said you'd never driven a tractor. I'm sorry to say, as the weekend comes to a close, he still hasn't driven a tractor.

It looked too fiddly for him. No, I said no. He didn't want to take it on. I didn't want to take it on. Too many knobs, too many gears, too many buttons. And it was just too many, too many things to get wrong and kill people with. I did end up teaching Cheery how to drive a manual car. The video is on our Instagram at Couple of Mitches. But we'll take a quick listen now. Notice there's a third pedal.

That is the clutch. Don't point at my crotch. That's disgusting. See, there's a little map on the gear stick. Oh, there is, yeah. So you can't move that unless the clutch is in. First gear's up to the side. Left, up.

And now you need to accelerate at the same time as releasing the clutch. Sold it. You weren't revving enough. Clutch in. So go check out the full video on our Instagram. But just driving that was tricky enough for you. The tractor has other layers to it. There's two gear sticks. Like one of the gear sticks is the chapter. The other gear stick is the pages. Like the two gear sticks.

God, you're a good teacher. You tried to explain to me the driving a manual car, putting the clutch in is like when you go to edit a photo, it's like the edit button. I had to millennial explain it to you. I said, so the clutch in a manual puts it in neutral. You were like, huh? I've never used neutral in my automatic before. And I was like, okay, pretend it's not that stupid. Pretend you're in your photo library and you're editing a photo. The clutch is an edit button. You're editing what gear you're in your photo library and you're editing a photo. The clutch is an edit button. You're editing what gear you're in. Yeah.

Then you had to teach Stephen. You went, all right, so the clutch is Britney Broski and then the gears are skibbity. Oh yeah. And then Stephen was like, got it. Your analogy was so beautiful. I didn't stall the car once. Stephen did. Stephen didn't stall the car once.

Which is actually, Stephen, huge. Jerry, I lost count. I stalled straight away. It's hard and I'm a city, you know what? I was born in the city and I'm okay. I identify as a city boy. I'm happy, but I feel if there was an apocalypse or an emergency where I needed to drive manual, I could.

I feel like it's in my bones. I'm moving out to the country. You actually have come alive. It's really unleashed something in you. What did you say, Stephen? When you, Stephen said to me when we were driving on the tractor, mind you, in the tub, Mitchell was driving the tractor. There's no two seats. So we were in the scoop.

And we had this gorgeous view and we were looking over, over the, the Coombs property. And I said, like, is, doesn't this make you like horny? Like we're here together in the country. We should, we should get it going. And he said, there's no broke back mountain scene that he wants to recreate. Like he said, he couldn't, he can't feel horny in the country. So he couldn't live in the country. Like it's too much dirt everywhere and mud on every surface. Oh yeah.

I tried to like initiate like later tonight. Look, come on. This is a beautiful moment. On a rusty ute. It's not even rusty. No. Ian just bought that Hilux. Not that Hilux. it's an abandoned one.

The tractor. The hay shed. Oh, you should, okay, I tried to suggest that maybe we did something in an old abandoned car and then he would have got golden staff. Can I tell you something? We've not discussed this till now, but Ian, Jane and I were speculating that you guys were up to something. Really?

You disappeared all of a sudden. I said, I think they're taking advantage of this opportunity for a countryside goby Absolutely not even is so Didn't trust me. I didn't I tried I'm glad you did I thought you might have seen the opportunity even can't handle three flies on his back little on my dick in his mouth on a country property Well if it's your first time The second last episode ever.

Every show we start the same way. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine, we call them midgims, I don't know midges. And that's how we start the show. It's pretty straightforward. I will say you've got to head along to our Instagram at Couple of Mitches. We've been working our buzzy's off this weekend. So many videos that we've done.

I'm a bit knackered I've got to tell you. That's why I'm in bed at the moment. I'm feeling perked up. Who wants to kick off? I'll go first. I'll go first. Yeah? You're going to kick it off? Well, there's something that happened in the Bougangate pub that I haven't yet spoken of. Yes. And I think it needs to be addressed. It ignited something within me and your mother, Jane,

and some backpackers. Let's just start. Let's let's Bradley. Bradley's come with us, by the way. Hi, Brad. Welcome, mate. Bradley. Bradley. Bradley. All right. Go for it, Bradley. Is it just me or? Does karaoke feel like such a good idea until you're actually up there with the microphone belting songs out? Don't tell me there's even a part of you that regrets that behavior.

I regretted it. Once I got up there, I'm like, I'm over this now. You didn't look over it. I regretted it. Once I got up there, I'm like, I'm over this now. You didn't look over it. I was over it. You're absolutely lying. I'm not lying. I'm not. Can I just tell our idiots that we were all a bit burnt out after the drive because it does take it out of you.

I will argue, is it just me on the fly? More so as a passenger. You guys kept offering to share the drive out here six hours or so. And I said, no, no, I need to be doing something. Otherwise I get bored and tired. I need my brain to be engaged. I was so tired from doing nothing. And so we went to the pub and we were like,

it won't be a big one. We'll just pop in for a schnitzel or not. And we'll just head home early because we'll get cracking on all the videos we're gonna do the next day. And then you said, let's go home soon. So I started to wrap everyone up and then you were the one that was keeping us there because you put one karaoke song on and then you added to the queue and again and again and again.

This karaoke machine had a fucking 20 minute queue and it was your fault. Right. Once you got started. Some poor lady put $20 in the jukebox, you pushed her out of the way, started queuing. I will survive, share. Okay, no, no, no. So she put in $20 and she went, darlin', you pick what you want.

And I went, all right, thank you. And she went and disappeared. Maybe she was an emu, I was hallucinating. Anyway, the- No way, was that the pub manager that put the money in? Oh, maybe it was, yeah. That's the tactic. They put their own money into the machine

to keep people there longer, to buy more drinks, which is what I did, it worked. They got their money back. That's actually genius because I did not think that was what she was doing. But you were wanting to go home and I was trying to be a good host. I was like, everyone, we're going home very soon, trying to get Ian and Jane out of that place, which by the way is like pulling teeth once they're at the pub. Mitchell. And you're the one that kept adding more karaoke songs.

The Kiari malformation was kicking in. I said to Steve and I'm like, I'm tired. I got a headache. I need to go home. He went me to like, I'm like, I'm tired. I got a headache. I need to go home. He went me to like, I'm ready to go. And I said, Rod, do that. I'll shut it down. No, no, no, no criticism of you. Mitch put his moot pack on and he was he was he's ready to go. And your beautiful friend, Katie was there. Yeah. And we got to meet Katie, who I adore.

And we were all ready to go. And then I looked at your mom and we were just gossiping about work. And she was saying how upset she is at Kiss FM for doing what they did. So we were we were kind of out for blood. She was. how upset she is at Kiss FM for doing what they did. So we were kind of- She was down for blood. She was, she was. And I said, you know what, Jane, one song on karaoke to dedicate to how the situation is. So I play Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive. You think I need to have a guy or girl that I? I will survive. The passion from you, you know that you meant it. I will, I will survive. The passion from you, you know that you meant it.

I will. I will survive. Oh now go, I'll get it off. And what I didn't realise was this group of backpackers, this French woman had queued six Celine Dion songs because they're the only songs that they knew. So we had to wait six songs until I Will Survive came on. So your mum and your dad and you and you went and you and we'll get a drink while we wait. But then that was, that was the beginning of the end because one, that one extra

drink, drink meant more songs were added and we stayed for two hours. But it was you and you hadn't had a drop of alcohol. You kept adding to the queue. I know I did. I was like, I'm the one telling everyone we've got to get these two home. They're naked. And then I'm like, I'm now naked and they're the ones holding me I know can we talk about your cue for a second? We're in a town of how many people 200 to 50 early

Yeah, put on New York New York a song about big city living But there was this bloke at the bar who kept looking over and he kept going who choose a fucking songs who chose these songs and to Connect with you my opening your mouth to what? He'd go, who turns out fucking songs? Who turns out fucking songs? So I looked at him and I genuinely said, I don't know mate, it was a backpacker's song. These are terrible. Blame it on the French girls.

Finally Manogue spinning around, came on, I looked at him, I'm like, fucking girls, huh? Fuck the French. The French girl came up to me and she went, please pick a French song, put in French. And I went, oh pardon me, please do a Celine Dion. She asked for a French song and put in French. And I went, Oh, pardon me. Please do. She asked for a French song and you played the Macarena. She said to me, please, please, where is Macarena? So I put the Macarena on.

Anyway, I said to her, I'm like, Hey Frenchie, I put the Macarena on. And she was like, no, no, my friend, her name is Macarena. She's backpacker from Argentina. Well, the Macarena is playing in 10. This one goes out name is Macarena. She's a backpacker from Argentina. I was like, oh, well, the Macarena's playing in 10, eh? This one goes out to you, Macarena. I'm Macarena, Macarena, Macarena. A standard night at the Fog and Gay Park. Is it just me?

You're listening to Is It Just Me? The podcast. Leave a review. Better be five stars. Make it five fucking stars. Thank you, Oscar. Thanks, Oscar. The dulcet tones of Achuk and Oscar. I chose the country adjacent song for this episode, specifically. Fuck, is it just me on the fly? How underrated was Nothing Breaks Like A Heart by

Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus? It's my favourite Miley Cyrus song. It's not even a Miley Cyrus song hurtfully. I know, right? It's Mark, you're right. And so is Uptown Funk. He really gets the credit on those big songs. I know. At what point in your DJ career are you allowed to just be the artist? Yeah. Didn't he do Black to Black as well? Yeah, in the White House. That's his song. Yes, that's on his album. Also, I've had a second ride. So I'd go there.

Mark Ronson. Oh, he's Mark Ronson. It's gorgeous. Now even, even I'd go Mark Ronson. Now a quick PSA for you idiots. A few of you have asked us how long is our merch store? Couple of midgets.com. Are you going to remain open after we.

Cark it. We end the show. Time. Actually a few days time. Shit. We're terminal. Um, I've been like to rest. I don't want to say we car kit because. We end a week's time. Actually a few days time. Shit. We're terminal. Um, I've been like to rest. I don't want to say we carcass because you know, what if cryogenics becomes a thing

and this podcast ever gets resurrected? Late to rest. Is that not everlasting rest? Yeah, but, but carcass is just so definite and you know, unemployed at the moment. So what about put in the Swedish pod? Is that what people say? Oh, the death of the suicide pod. Oh Jesus.

Sorry. This podcast died by assisted death. Well, whatever our cause of death, after we finish our final episode next Monday, how long does the merch store remain open? I just figure we got to pay the Shopify bill for the month of December anyway. So let's just leave it open until the end of 2024. Yep. So once this year ends, the merch store will end.

So the new year not available. Exactly. So you got plenty of time to stock up on Christmas gifts. If you want to buy someone something for Christmas, or if you want a piece of our merch, like a rash vest for Christmas, you're going to enjoy the summer and be sun safe, just send them the link. Couple of minutes is not coming to you. Say this is what I want.

Yeah. For Chrissy, Stephen's wearing the I'm with idiot shirt. I'm with idiot t-shirt. Oh, can't take it off guys. It's perfect. My dad is actually wearing my Ears Tour inspired merch as well. It's so sweet. We're the only ones not wearing our merch at the moment.

I know. Why am I wearing the Egypt Jock strap? Are you not? That never got released. That was just a, that was just a demo I got sent. Anyway, sorry. Coupleamiches.com.au. The store will remain open until 2025, really.

Yeah. How exciting. Are you ready for my, is it just me? This is something I've noticed about city folk, not just you two. I've brought a lot of city friends out here to visit my hometown, Bogongate. And there's one thing I've noticed about all of them. Oh really? Yep.

And do I fit the mold? Yeah, definitely. Oh God. Okay. Bradley, let's go. Is it just me? Aww. Do you not particularly give a fuck about stars? Bradley, let's go. Is it just me? Do you not particularly give a fuck about stars?

Oh, well, I know you're in the room with one, but you need to have a bit more respect, please. I was actually looking at myself in the mirror. I don't give a fuck about you. Oh, like, no, like, like stars in the sky. No, because Steven and I were like besotted by the country stars last night. Actually in Newtown the other night, there was one star. And we actually noted that. Remember you looked up, you said to me like, there's one star in this whole sky.

And then we got on a whole air pollution thing, light pollution. And then in the country coming out here, oh my God, in regional New South Wales, it's glorious. I never realised that light pollution was a thing and that there was a difference between looking up at the sky in the city versus the country. I just took it for granted the whole time I grew up here. Yeah. I never noticed the difference when I moved to Sydney.

Oh, there's less stars. I just never really valued that. But every time I bring friends out here, like the two of you, they look up at the sky and they go, wow. Yeah. There's so many. That's just the flies. No, but I'm with you. I'm with you.

I was shocked. It's, it's actually frightening because it makes you feel so small. There is, there is so, there's more light than there is dark in the sky. But also I never noticed that in Sydney, you can't see things like the saucepan, you know, that cluster that looks like a pan with the handle. Yeah. I never noticed that that was missing from my life because I just don't spend that much time gawking into the night sky.

Yeah, true. I finally understand where the Southern Cross comes from. Yep, the Southern Cross. Oh yeah. You should get that tattooed on you. You'd look really good. Especially with that mallet you've got going on. Yeah, which wash, mind you, tangent, but Mitch has been rabbiting on about the water.

He's like, wash your hair here. You'll never have a better head. You the water is like wash your hair here. You'll never have a better head. You'll never have better head. Um, sorry, you'll never have a better head wash. No, seriously. When I wash my hair here at home in the country using the rainwater, fresh from the gutters, there's no Sydney water, you know, adding chemicals and whatever. Oh, I have the best hair day ever. I need to try something pure about the water here.

Maybe it's a long hair thing because I need those chemicals to make my hair all crispy and that might be true because the only other people that have shared that observation with me have been women. Oh, got it. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I've been like, Oh my God, I love it. No, this the stars are beautiful. But I think it's like you said it, you take it for granted when you when you've had it

for so long. Maybe I'm just really fucking oblivious. I never noticed. No. Do you ever take stock and just look up and go, wow, I'm a blip in this universe, in this world, this thing we call life? Not really. Is that normal? To look at the sky and go, I'm nothing. You don't wish upon stars? Well, I can't see them in Sydney. I wish upon them. Have you ever seen a shooting star?

Yeah, of course I have. Of course. See, that's a country thing. The city kids don't know shooting stars. We saw shooting stars when we went to Milton. The night we became official, we looked up and we saw how many? Three? Three shooting stars in the span of 10 minutes.

Yeah. That was sweet. Okay, do you want me to leave the room or? No, Stephen won't root me even if I try. That's so true. I could have seven showers. When you were locking up your city person, Ijum, I thought you were going to say that we indicate.

Because you laughed every time I indicated on the roads. Oh yeah. It's so amusing to me because we're on private property, no rules apply, and they kept popping the indicators on to just do a yui. I was like, for God's sake, city, we're on a farm. Who are you even indicating to? I think I might move out here. What?

I think I might move out here. For the lack of road rules. No, I just, I said to you driving in, I feel relaxed and so calm. But then you made the good observation that I'm not farming. Yeah, mate. I'll tell you something for nothing. Visiting for a weekend, very different to actually living here. Yeah.

You just had one good night of karaoke. I know. And you've not had any mice plagues in that time, no drought, no flood, nothing. It's been a very tempered experience. I did almost clog the toilet and I did freak out. I thought, oh my God, I'm going to have to pay for the whole new plumbing system in this house. Start a new flood. Yeah, quite seriously.

Mate, I grew up with Crohn's disease here. There's nothing that toilet hasn't seen before. That's enough of these two. Now let's hear, and is it just you? Rightio, let's fire up that phone. It's time to chat to one of our idiots. Correct. And I did ask for a straight is it this you caller. You did, you demanded it. I said, I'm not sure if we've had a straight man call through to the podcast before.

I lie, we have had one before, but today we've got another one. Justin from Camden, New South Wales. I feel like that's rural-esque. Oh, 100%, yeah. I'm Googling, don't worry, Stephen, I'm on it. Camden, New South Wales, where the fuck is that? Oh my God, sorry. It'm on it. Camden, New South Wales. Where the fuck is that? Oh my God. Sorry.

It's a fucking suburb of Sydney. It sounds so rural, doesn't it? I don't think Camden is in Sydney. Is it? Oh, that's spoken like a fucking Sydney side of you. Like that doesn't count. It's in the West. To me, mate, that is Sydney as fuck. It's not. Camden's not. What part of me thought that was the regional town? I was thinking of Coonabarabin. Hello?

Hello, Colbert's Mitch and Mitch. G'day, legend. How are ya? Good. How are you fellas? Mate, we were just, before you called, we were just talking about when your Mrs. Pussy Juice gets on you and, uh, and then we were, we were, oh God, now we sound gay, we were trying to connect to you. I don't know.

Well, that's good because you're actually in the car and she's here with me too. So we're on date night. Oh, speaking of pussy juice, put her on. Hello, juice. What's your name, sweetheart? Donna. Donna. Hi, Donna.

Is that right, Donna? Yes, that's right. Donna, Donna, how do you feel about your, your partner listening to a podcast hosted by two gorgeous gay men? Oh, that's right. Donna, how do you feel about your partner listening to a podcast hosted by two gorgeous gay men? Oh, that's fine. What's wrong with that? Did you introduce him to the podcast by any chance? Absolutely not.

I do not do podcasts. Really? So you can't stand us. You don't listen together. Oh no, I listen to you, but if I've got nothing else to do. I'll listen to you. Not on purpose. By accident. Yeah. Not by choice. I listen to you, but if I've got nothing else to do, not on purpose. Yeah. By accident.

Yeah. So you said you were on date night, Justin, where are you taking, um, Miss Juice? Donna. Excuse me. Mrs. Juice. Oh, Mrs. Juice. Oh. No, we, um,

I took her out on your recommendation and we just went out and did the smash room out in the city. Oh, you went to a smash room. Oh, did you love it? Yeah. Good fun. I didn't realize she had so many fucking angry shit. And they all seem to lead back to you, darling. Funny that.

What? Yeah, absolutely. I would say it. Yes. I'm only staring at you, Justin. You seem to be the real idiot here. The true fan. I can't believe that. I don't think I've ever heard of a case of the man listening but the wife not

because normally it's the other way around the wife listens and the man kind of suffers through it it grows on him eventually and they fall in love but you're the fit how did you discover us in the first place Justin? Your little videos man would pop up on my Facebook real late and then it was just kind of like yeah he looks like a bit of a chuckle and then and then I found you and then yeah all of a sudden yeah here we are that's one of those like long time listener this is our second interaction now I'm the fella who put you through for the IJM alphabet on the um biggest page. Oh you posted on Facebook yes yes yes

on our idiots group. What was your contribution to the itch infinity alphabet? No, it was his idea, I think. Oh, altogether. Yeah, that was my idea. Yeah. Yeah. And then you guys rolled with it. So, yeah. We're fucking thrilled to have you. Bradley's ready to count you in because you've got an

Is it just me of your own to share? You ready to go? Yeah, let's do it Bradley. Is it just me? Oh. Is it just me that doesn't understand half the shit you guys talk about because I'm straight middle-aged guy but I still can't stop listening. You don't understand half the things we talk about.

What have we taught you darling Justin? List the things that confuse you. Well I've learned some things I didn't know about fucking tops and bottoms. I didn't know what the fuck that was all about. Oh, I didn't like the gay sex of it all. No, that's a little one. Even I fucking know that. Yeah, but I've got that.

I don't know. Even pussy juices across top and bottom, mate. Steers across it. So yeah, and I didn't know about the fiber thing. Could you bang on about fucking fiber, fiber, and what the fuck? Oh, fiber. Meta-boosle. Well, the last thing you want is someone shouting on your cock. No. Yeah.

Yes. I guess. Yeah. Okay. Well now she's now just gagging. Come on, pussy juice. Um, all right. What else? What else have we confused you with that you, that we helped you get clarity on? Well, the big thing now with your, uh, what's better than your dicks and drugs, we'll just straight out vagina and drugs. Let's go with that. Oh, you want to add vagina to the list of things better than drugs and dicks? I don't think it's on the list.

I don't think you've got anyone that's put that on the list, okay? That's a good point because technically drugs and dick are what, you know, we were into. So vagina, it's advice that some people and some of our listeners enjoy. Yeah, there you enjoy. Okay. Um, what else have we taught you? My, I didn't know that. But for scrunchies, no, I had no idea. That was one of your new things.

Like I'm on fucking what the fuck is going with the scrunchies? Yeah. You got no hair at all. No. Yeah. I just started doing laser hair removal on my head. Everywhere. Buddy Ted.

Yeah. Everywhere. About my hair. Everywhere but his head. Yeah, everywhere but my head. I guess I'm on. Really? Like a big old teddy bear. Obviously, if you don't have long hair, you can't relate. But do you just want me to raw dog everyday life with no hair ties? I've got to tie it up sometimes though.

You do have beautiful hair. Oh, thank you, Donna. It's gorgeous. Not in this humidity though, Donna. We'll send you a photo. Yeah, if you could only see me right now, Chalk, it's pretty nasty. All right. Anything else? Anything else? Fucking Pushtuff. I had no fucking idea what a fucking Pushtuff was.

It sounds like a slur, doesn't it? When it comes out of Justin's mouth, I kind of shudder. I go, oh, God, a bald man. Pushtuff is a gay club in Sydney and Melbourne. You don't straight people have Pushtuff's? Yeah, Pushtuff. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is. It's yeah, it's just a play on that, but it's where all the gays congregate. It's a bush doof for poofs though.

Yeah. They agree. See, I'm 39 and I'm still learning shit. Are you going to visit poof doof anytime soon? I can do that. Maybe. Yeah. Let's go and check out our poof doof.

Yes. That's our legacy, Mitchell. I can't believe that he listens to the podcast. And even though he doesn't understand half the shit we say that's not his cue to turn off he's like no I'm gonna keep listening and find this out anything else we've taught you darling. Well the musical thing I didn't really have much of a keen interest in the musicals but you boys banging on about them all the time you want to go and check out Wicked? Looks to be all right. And then her response was, a six foot one, show-ped ball guy with tats might not be the

fucking genre that's in the room. You might stand out a bit of a sore thumb. It's mostly daughtery old women and poofs, I got to admit. Yeah, well there you go. And I had no idea what a fucking alphabet was. So I know what an alphabet is now. Alphabet? I didn't know what an alphabet was either to be honest.

Mitch had to educate me there. Alphabet from Wicked. So wait, did you go to Wicked, Justin? Oh, I could give it a go. We knew it was going to be. No, you haven't. I'm more keen to come and see you do a bit of stand up than I am to go and watch a musical.

Fair. Oh, you haven't been to one of my shows, Justin. I would bloody love to meet you. You actually sound like a fucking crack up. And I tried to come to your last one with the duck, whatever. What the fuck was that? We're off a duck's clit.

Yeah. Had a show here at GD and I wanted to come. We were keen as to come. I couldn't get a babysitter. Oh bugger. Oh fucking we missed that on that one. Hey next time. I heard you were out today.

I'm like fuck yes, he's keen, he's doing it again. Are you going to be coming to my Christmas show? Mate, I might give it a go. Yeah. Oh, that'd be amazing. Justin, mate, what a legend. Fucking tickets are selling out fast. Are you going to be coming to my Christmas show? My I'm like you to go. Yeah Justin mate what a legend This is down to sound like more of a fucking promo than it is me just saying I'm actually you've weaved it in beautifully more talent.com.au if you want tickets to mine and all right haze stand-up comedy show

Christmas with the gay Grinch's maybe I'll just pop out some mistletoe in front of you, Justin. Oh, you stole the words right out of my mouth. Now, I hate to break the bubble, but I can actually see through this window. Justin's your next door fucking neighbor. You've paid for this whole thing. This is all being said. Oh, don't be stupid. I can see him on the landline next door. This is a plug for the shows. Well, Justin and Pussy Juice, that is your Christian name, isn't it? So nice to meet you guys. Thank you for listening for all these years. This is the second last episode, so we're done and dusted.

Hey Justin, I fucking love this. Lovely to chat to you. Keep trying to win the Mrs. Over. Make sure you convert her into a full blown idiot, won't you? I'll make sure she, I guarantee you she's gonna listen to this podcast because she's on it. Yeah, right. But then I'm sure I'll get her back

and she can start listening back to when I started listening back. Hey Justin, DM the couple of Mitch's Instagram page because you have just won yourself the last ever Is It Just Me umbrella. We will send it out to you. I'll buy the last one. I said to her today, I better get a fucking umbrella out of this phone call. I got the last one.

You're getting an umbrella, darling, and a tote bag. Yeah, we'll send you whatever you want. And we're talking about it in here too, so I need an umbrella because I didn't bring it. Oh, it's quite the fucking hefty umbrella. I've got to tell you, it's got enough room for you and Pussy Juice. Yeah, it'll keep you dry. It's a spectacle. It's a very big umbrella, but we'll send it out to you. Thank you for listening, guys. Thank you. Drive safe.

A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment. On the end, we pretend the show is done, but we still got a little bit more time up our

sleeve for you. We'll keep talking shit. Nothing's planned here. Um, I'll tell you what, this weather has turned out. We're going to have a bonfire tonight and everything, aren't we? Oh, no, not a bonfire on the lake. Yeah, I am the lake. It's a dam. Okay.

The dam. It's a body of water, no less. But I told you guys that one of my traditions, every time I bring friends back to the farm is I reverse dad's ute over the dam bank. I angle it perfectly so it's mostly flat and the sun sets. We have some drinks. Non-alcoholic is fine. Cheerio will accept that.

Yeah. And it's just, it's just a good yearning opportunity. It's really lovely. Yeah. My dam bank tradition and the sun is beginning to set. Yeah, it is. So I'm sorry to keep this ADD brief brief, but yeah, time's ticking, Dallin.

We don't have long. Can you remind me by the way, sorry, what did you say at the start? You said, I make sense now. You refresh my memory. What was the point? Well, like we've been very good friends for a very long time. And there are parts of you that are like, you know, you, you, you, not many of your friends are from regional Australia or from, from somewhere that you're not familiar with.

Especially like proper remote. Right. Right. Very rural. You know, say you make friends with someone that is an international, they were born and raised in London. I'm like, I get, I get what was happening in their childhood. Yeah.

Right. And then you've got friends who are in the same area as you. It's like common interest. I know what you went through, but here I genuinely have never had farm life experience. I've never been on a tractor in my life. Right. And then you've got friends who are in the same area as you. It's like common interest. I know what you went through, but here I genuinely have never had farm life experience. I've never been on a tractor in my life. Like I, we make jokes, but I was born like 20 kilometers out of the Sydney city. Like, and that is where I spent my life. Like I'm not a country boy in any, any intensive purpose. So like I respect it. Like your dad is such a hard worker and you can tell Steven and I were talking

about it just by talking to him, how passionate and skilled he is at what he does. I actually think you get a lot of your humor from your dad. Oh, totally. He's hilarious. He's really funny. He at the pub last night, I was talking to your friend Katie about every country boy or every straight man loving to post on their socials and Tinder and their dating apps. Photos of them holding fish like at their conquest. It's like, hey, this fish is big. Wait till you see my dick. A metery. A metery. That's what they said. A metery is what Katie said. That's the goal

in the straight boy fishing world. That's the goal to catch a metery. I was like, I buy a fish from a metery. What are you talking about? So then I said to your dad, I'm like, oh, do you know you have any pigs of yourself with a metery? That was good, Stephen. Sorry. We don't just brush that. Sorry. I buy fish from the meadery. Well, you don't. It's a fish shop like a munker. A meter is a butcher. I'm not gonna lie. I took a sec, but that was good. It was like seven out of ten.

Like it was good thinking, but not exactly there. Oh, my gosh. Give me some credit. OK, it was funny. It was very funny. Anyway, people often mock straight boys posting on Tinder a photo of their fish. But I would say to you last night at the pub, no, for straight men, that's their meditation. Fishing, yeah. The stillness. No, we spoke about fucking carp on this show for 10 minutes last week.

Can you not give fishing more time when we have one episode left? We hope this podcast makes it feel like- My point was, I said to your dad, do you have any photos of you with a fish? And he said, yes. And then an hour later, your mum was like, Mitchell, get a photo with Ian, which is me, Mitchell. So we did. And then he goes, oh your mum was like, get a photo with Ian, which is me, Mitchell. So we did. And then he goes, Oh, can I hold you?

I'm holding a fish. Where is it? Your mum took it. Jay. Actually, we do need to meet Jane before the show ends. I really, we've had my dad on this show. Your dad, we'd have a, have we had Michelle on this show? Oh yeah.

We've called her about the whole cheesy stringer thing. Well, we're in this house. So what's, what's the home number here? Just bleep it out. You're not going to get up? No, no, no I'm not getting up. Okay. Just bleep it.

Okay, it's 02. Do you not have a way to call people on the farm? Like I thought you'd be used to shouting. They're getting old, they're deaf. Hello? Hi, Ian. Can you tell your wife to come to the bedroom? Okay. Thanks for that, Ian. Can you tell your wife to come to the bedroom? Okay. Thanks for that.

Bye. By the way, we have met Jane. She fucking stole the Jess Rowe episode. Are you forgetting? Tell her to rack off. We need to meet Jane. Are you serious? That was brilliant.

That was love. Stephen, your mom loved that episode, Zeta. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. She actually talked about it. It goes over my head because I don't know who Jess Rowe is. You've got to speak into the microphone. I'm sorry. I don't want to offend don't know who Jess Rowe is. You gotta speak into the microphone. I'm sorry, I don't want to offend the potential listener, Jess Rowe.

Jess isn't listening to this show. Hi Jane, where do I find this photo of Ian holding Mitch like a fish? Oh, yeah, we took it last night at the pub. I don't know if you'd remember. No, I don't remember. Just remind me. Go grab your phone and go look through your camera. Oh my god, sorry, did Jane take it? Yeah, and Jane also took some videos at Carrierier. You need to go through your camera. You're not gonna be able to see anything in the photo.

It's gonna be so blurry. You can't get her to. Oh really? Jane's Android photography after a few whines. Are you kidding? Grab your phone. Okay. You're coming back.

Just pop it on the microphone. We'll come back. Pop it on the bed, I mean. We'll see if she comes back to us. She might forget. My favorite thing is she went, all right, and stood there. I know. She's so undiagn back to us. She might forget. My favorite thing is she went, all right, and stood there. I know.

She's so undiagnosed. I get my ADHD from her. The unmedicated behavior from that woman. She's so funny. Oh, she's back, Stephen. Let's get her that mic. Have you found this photo? So what am I actually looking for?

It's your husband, Ian, holding Mitch Cherry like a fish to mock the men that take photos with their fish. Well, no, he said, do you want me to hold you like a fish but then I was just around his shoulder I think. Oh so you've over-hyped? No no, he said do you want me to hold you like a fish? It was how funny he was, I was complimenting how funny he was but I didn't want him to hold me. Oh shit, now we're here. I took a photo of the carpet. That was pretty good. Oh yeah, we can post that to the socials. See what I mean, unmedicated. Yeah. Oh here they are! Yeah, I told you.

Look at them. Are they good, Mitchell? You're holding him like the fish. There's the boys. Am I? Yes. Yeah, you're the big spoon, Mitchell Cherry. Maybe that was his comment.

Look at that. You're holding me like a fish. Show me. Oh, I am. Oh, his tongue's out. Anyway, thank you, Jane. You're welcome. No, Jane, before you go, this is the last time we'll have you on this show, because next

episode's our last episode. What are your thoughts on this podcast and it ending and you know, your son working, us working together and the show being done? It's really emotional. Like part of me is happy for Mitch because it'll free up a bit of his time on the weekends and things, give him and Sean a bit more time together. But honestly, I'm just so proud of both of you guys and Jenna for the amazing work you've done. To have the ability to make that many people happy. And it's not always easy. You guys have had your own struggles over those five years. There's been amazing times and there's been hard times, but you've always been there for all those listeners and I'm incredibly proud of that. So yeah, it's going to be really emotional for all of us, I think.

Hmm. I agree. Well said, Jane. Yeah. Definitely proud parents moments from Ian and I I and no doubt from your parents as well Mitch. Oh yeah. Mitch Turey.

Do you reckon there'll be tears in the final episode Turey from either of us? I think there will be. But I'm one of the people that if I'm kind of like if I prepare tears I won't get tears. Yeah exactly. So I don't want to think about tears because then my brain's going why aren't I crying and then the real emotion doesn't flow. It's weird isn't it? Yeah.

It's like when like grooms often don't cry when they see their brides because there's so much pressure on them to cry. They don't cry. And you know, I'm looking at next episode as Mitch is my bride and, you know, our final episode. I'm your groom dog. Yeah, you are. And you are proud of Mitch. There is so much Mitch memorabilia around this house. It's like, there's more- I didn't put that poster of mine on my own wall. Jane put that there. I did question that. There is more Mitch memorabilia. I can imagine there's more Mitch memorabilia in this house than there are photos of the

Parks dish at the Parks fucking dish. There is so much Mitch and it's beautiful. Obviously, we're proud of all our kids. But Mitchell, obviously the best. Yeah, the favourites. Yeah, no favourites. The most flawless. No favourites. The most flawless. Definitely proud of this podcast. Mark does have a blue tick. No. He's got other ticks. Yeah he does. Oh and that beautiful, give your brother a plug, that bathroom, I've never experienced

a Mark Coombs bathroom. The Mark Coombs reno. Coombs carpentry if you're in the Hunter Valley region. Those tiles so smooth and that toilet seat. Wait till you see his logo for Coombs carpentry. I have, I'm across it. That was me. I mean, it's a real family affair, you guys. Yeah. Well, Jane, thank you for having us.

I've had so much fun. Stephen and I really enjoyed it. The bed was super comfortable. Yeah. Like you guys, just because a podcast's ending doesn't mean you guys aren't welcome here. Thank you. Whenever you want.

Thank you. No, the friendship won't end either. In fact, Mitch was saying before- No, put words in my mouth. No, but Mitch's- No, it's just around the corner. No, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. Not much for me, given my employment situation. But you said you reckon we'll spend more time together. Yeah, we'll be more available. Yeah, we'll have more time.

It'll be great. Now that lasagna. Yeah. Where are we at? Ready when you are. Oh, then let's wrap. Keep it warm. Cause we've got to get to the damn bank stat.

Yeah. We're keeping it warm. All right. We hope this podcast made you. The salads, mate. Oh, nevermind. Thanks, Jane. Thanks, Jane.

We'll see you in the kitchen. Oh, wait, I want Mitchell to try my CPAT. Wait, see if you can grab it. Grab it. Just, can you grab the CPAT? Absolutely. We can see you in the kitchen. Oh, wait, I want Mitchell to try my CPAP. Wait, Stephen, can you grab it? Just can you grab the CPAP? Absolutely. We can do that after the sun sets. No, I want it on the show. So wait, what do you want me to do?

Oh, my CPAP. My, um... CPAP? My CPAP, my sleep apnea machine. Does this go up the nose? Oh, yeah. Put them in your nostril holes. Just breathe out, it'll turn on. Pffft.

Is it on? I see him. I have one turn on. Is it on? I see him. I have one on her. Is it on, Stephen? Is the light on the machine? Oh, now I sound like an idiot. Yeah. What the fuck? Oh my God. Yeah, it's on. Close your mouth. Oh, try and talk.

With a closed mouth. What do you think? It's so relaxing. Doesn't it make you want to just sleep for eight hours? It feels like my lungs are a balloon that have gotten to that point that are about to go POOF! Yeah, you gotta get used to it. I don't need this much air! It is really alien if you don't have sleep apnea.

Yeah, you've got to get used to it. I feel clogged. I don't like it. You can use it under the bedsheets, like when you're really cold in winter? Yeah, because you don't, it just blows air into you. So you can, you could literally sit in a bubble. Isn't it good? Not particularly. You sound so breathy. I feel like a hot fucking air balloon. Okay, you can take it off now.

You look like an elephant. Get rid of it. Yeah, pull it off. Oh, put that into the mouth. Yeah, that's my seatbelt. Press the off button. Where? On the device.

There's a big white button. No, that was weird. Oh, sounds so oxygenated. That was weird. That was weird. Yeah, it's not alien. All right. That settles that debate.

Remember I was like, maybe I do have sleep apnea. You don't. Maybe I should go to a specialist. That was not helpful. You don't. All right. Thank you for listening, idiots. Sorry.

I feel like I've just been blown. I'm like, I believe it's weird. We hope this podcast made everyone else feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Just 2%. So we do. Nailed it, Stephen. Nice work, baby. We'll be back for one final time. Yeah. On Monday. Weird. Weird. It's all right. We're back on Monday. Final episode, let's all be happy. Kumbaya, and we'll see you then. Can't wait to talk then.

Bye bye. See you, idiots. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of midges. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app.
