People do some weird shit.
This is it. This is the big one.
This is for the girls. This one.
Some things make more sense than others.
Lindsay Lohan punched in the face
after trying to take a boy away from a mother.
You're a good little boy.
I won't leave until I take you.
Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for.
That's the line.
I see it quite clearly.
Get new glasses.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Cinder, one Mitch is clearly better than the other one.
I couldn't agree more.
Now here's Mitch Chury and Mitchell Coons.
Oh, hi.
Third time lucky, as they say.
Can't believe we made it back.
I know.
Actually, we're shit out of luck, to be honest.
I have some bad news for you.
Oh, what?
Unfortunately, we may end up in court after what I've found.
What do you mean?
Look, I went home recently to visit Mum and Dad.
Bogengate?
Yes.
And I was rummaging through my old bookshelf.
I remember going through a phase growing up where I read a lot of autobiographies.
Right, of course you did. From, like, media people. where I read a lot of autobiographies. Of course you did.
From media people.
Aussie journos, of course.
Yeah, journos, presenters, whatever.
And I'm just going to hand you Chrissy Swann's.
Look.
Oh, it's tattered?
Because you've obviously read it a couple of times.
I did, but I clearly forgot about the title.
Read it out.
Chrissy Swann.
Is it just me?
Her book is called Is It Just Me?
Shit.
Shit.
And she works for another network.
When was it released?
A rival radio network.
Forward by Matt Preston.
We're fucked.
Shit.
Do you reckon she's going to come after us being like, no, no, that's my concept.
All we'd have to do is buddy power walk and she wouldn't catch up.
Mitch, coming from you.
Coming from me.
Yeah, well.
You know Slim Duster yourself, Dylan.
Sorry, I'm just going to do a quick little chapter reading.
And we'll see if it's anything like our show.
See if it's any threat to us.
Let's go to a random chapter.
How apt.
What is it?
What is it?
Chapter number nine.
Learning to lie.
You.
Mitch reckons I'm a liar.
No, you have confessed that you enjoy lying.
You did on this show.
I don't know about that.
The kindness of strangers, that could relate to Jenna.
Obviously, does this show.
Jenna's very kind.
Quid pro quo, does it for free?
Jenna, actually, can you please email the company lawyer
and just make sure that Is It Just Me isn't trademarked?
We could have a problem here.
Yeah, exactly right.
Yeah, sure.
I'll email her now.
Can you turn her down?
I'm going to yell, Jenna Christ Almighty.
Far out.
I was like Gretel Moline on the Mars Tinger. Well, turn that down? I'm going to yell, Jenna Christ Almighty. Far out. Sounds like Greta Leen on the Masked Singer.
Well, I say we just keep on keeping on until Chrissy contacts us.
So don't want to open that can of worms.
Whoa, throwback.
What's on the show today?
We've got a lot planned, I think.
Well, look, we are going to be taking a look at Jenna's junk.
Also, I found a way.
I'm not going to give context to that.
No, I was just about to say it's been a while before anyone's sort of been there.
But yeah.
Also, rejoice. I have found a way to knock the radio guy out of you. I just don to say it's been a while before anyone's sort of been there, but yeah. Also, rejoice.
I have found a way to knock the radio guy out of you.
I just don't think it's possible.
Because this is a podcast here.
I need to keep reminding you that we're not on air right now.
You don't need to be a radio guy.
I'm a radio guy.
It's like getting a mechanic who's worked on cars their whole life to suddenly jump to planes.
Very different.
You know, there's no propellers on a car.
There could be.
You don't know.
Okay, well, I'm open. They have propellers on caps. On what? You know, there's no propellers on a car There could be, you don't know Okay, well I'm open They have propellers on caps
On what?
You know, like hats
Why did your mind go to drugs?
I don't know why
I'm convinced
I think you can do it
We'll see
But right now I want to get into my engine for the week
Hit it
Here we go
Is it just me or
Does watching grass grow actually sound like a great time?
I mean, not really, no.
See, people use this phrase to liken something to being really boring.
Yeah.
But let me tell you, if there were more hours in a day and I had the time, I'd give it a go.
You would not.
I would.
You can barely sit still in a conversation, let alone watching a blade of grass come out of the ground.
That's the thing.
I need more stillness in my life
and I am in the thick of my nature phase.
This is a recent thing.
Remember for my birthday,
my friend Talisha got me that beautiful bunch of flowers.
No one's ever bought me flowers before.
You were quite shocked.
You thought it was me for a short phrase,
short period.
I did not even slightly suspect that.
No, you didn't.
I thought maybe it could have been me, but it wasn't. It wasn't at all. You tried to take phrase, short period. I did not even slightly suspect that. No, you didn't. I thought maybe it could have been me, but it wasn't.
It wasn't at all.
You tried to take credit, of course.
I did.
And so these flowers that she got me for my birthday,
that's what's kick-started my nature phase.
Because let me tell you, when I took them home,
popped them in a vase in my room, oh, I had no idea before this,
but the smell of fresh flowers, oh, it just transforms the space.
You're a country boy used to hay and cow.
Exactly.
And let me tell you, this sounds really like I'm a little bit desperate
and lonely.
Right.
But it was just so nice to have something else alive in the room.
I'm not kidding.
Don't laugh.
For mental health reasons, it was actually really quite nice
having those flowers in the room.
Have another living being in there.
Yes.
I now have a pot plant too.
It's started.
And I live in an apartment.
It's new.
I've only just moved in.
And there's another apartment building next door blocking the sun for most of the day.
It's like a concrete bookend.
But there's this like two hour window that I have where the sun just creeps in over the
top of the other building.
And let me tell you, my life now revolves around making sure
that I'm home for that period of sunlight.
Oh, you like it, buddy.
Because there's trees outside the window and it's very nice
to sit there in the sun looking at the trees.
Oh, my God.
You sound like Alty and Childs.
What are you, shop at Tree of Life now?
No, I just appreciate already existing trees that I didn't
appreciate before.
But look, the flowers
eventually died, obviously. And so
now I've just factored it into
my budget that I now buy myself flowers.
No, hold on. You buy yourself like a
bouquet of flowers. Well, no one else is buying them
for me, are they? Has anyone
ever bought you flowers? Many times, yes.
Oh, really? Many times. Someone sent me a
chocolate bouquet, which is more on demo for me.
That's so depressing.
Imagine having to buy your own flowers.
It's not that bad.
It's like one of those treat yourself things.
Like, you know how some people buy bath bombs?
I buy flowers because they're very nice.
That's rock bottom, I think.
No, it's not.
They smell lovely.
I didn't realise I was at this phase of life already,
but I have a favourite flower.
What is it?
The Oriental Lily.
Lasts ages and smells awesome.
And flowers on lions just
down the road from me. $35.
That's plenty. Really? That's a great
price. I'd like to interject
to you. Jenna? Yeah.
I do not find that depressing at
all. And I actually find that ignorant
of you, Mitch. Just because
the two of you live in your apartments alone,
you'd be one of those old people that die and they're found
bloated three months later because the stench
of their rotting corpse
affects their neighbours. They've got to
phone the police. You go, I haven't heard Judy. There's a lot of mail
at the end of the door piled up and I
can smell what seems to be a
corpse. We'll come and check it. Dead for three
months. I'd be happy to go down that way. I don't know
about you, Jenna. Yeah, bring it on.
The two of you need a deflowering of different types.
If you're ever trying to make plans with me
and you're about to send a hey, what's up text,
it's pretty safe to assume that I'm sitting by myself
looking at the trees out the window with my flowers
in a vase by my side.
That's my new happy place.
Is it?
Yes.
Okay.
Wouldn't tell that to many people.
Why not? No, do just think it's depressing.
It's nice to enjoy nature when you've got someone to do it with.
What's your idea? Because I know you and your
boyfriend have this lame self-care
Friday thing going on. What's your idea
of unwinding and relaxing? Do it together
with someone you love. I already hate
the idea. That's really depressing.
You should follow these idiots online.
Search Couple of Mitches.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
So do you think if you were to find someone if,
sorry, that sounds really like if.
It's a pretty wild hypothetical, yeah.
When you find someone, it's a deal breaker
if they're not a nature person as well?
They don't have to be a nature person.
They just have to buy me flowers.
Okay.
In fact, if anyone would like to send flowers to me here at the studio,
it's free by field.
Don't give them the address.
That's absolutely ridiculous. Let me jump into this.
I want flowers. I have to say, I'm very excited for this, Ijem.
Because I have been teasing
it for a long time.
You went on it too, producer Jenna.
Indeed I am.
You've been saying every week
of the show, we've only done three, but the last two
shows you've been saying, oh,
Jenna, should I do it this week?
Oh, I've got a really good one.
I don't know.
I should save it.
No.
It's finally here.
I'm very excited.
Is it just me or?
Is it the worst thing ever when a surprise doesn't live up to expectations?
What?
Is that what that was?
I see what you've done and you've proved your point.
That's it.
That's all.
Is there a reason you've come up with this?
Jenna, do you agree with me?
I do.
I'm laughing right now.
See, I think that this idjim would look quite at home in Jenna's junk.
No, this made the cut.
It was too good for my junk.
Yeah.
Okay.
What surprises have you had that haven't lived up to the expectation?
Well, there must be a reason you have this opinion.
Yeah, well, for my birthday one year, my uncle was hyping him for weeks, weeks.
I've been to Bali.
I've got the best thing ever.
I get the best gift.
I'm like, this is great.
Uncle Greg buys the good gifts.
He's rich.
Dumped his wife.
You know, this will be perfect.
Weeks.
You're September 30, right?
Yeah, sure, Uncle.
Oh, great, great, great.
Give me the present in a box.
I'm like, every present in a box is good.
I open it up.
It's a pair of skins.
Oh, God.
Why would you be using a pair of skins?
At 10.
I thought it was a Nintendo DSi with Nintendogs included.
Why would you want that from Bali?
I thought maybe it was a knockoff.
I don't care.
As long as I've got one.
Skins.
Oh, my God.
Do you even wear skins?
No.
Ever?
No.
I'm wearing them right now, coincidentally.
You're wearing skins right now?
Why?
Do you want the actual reason?
Yeah, hit me.
Well, because when I go to the gym, my legs chafe a bit.
Right.
But also, because I'm wearing tracksuit pants,
you know how sometimes when people wear tracksuits,
you can see, like, their entire junk?
Bulge print, yeah.
Skins gets rid of that.
It's just what smooshes it in.
Can you see my junk?
Should I stand up?
Hold on, I'm going to have a look.
Oh, no, it's sort of like a, it's like a can.
Smooth it over.
Yeah.
There's no bouncing and whatnot when you walk.
Like a mother of pearl.
Well, that's good.
I could just give you the skins that I got when I was 10.
They'll probably fit you now anyway.
They could do, yeah.
Is it just me?
Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app.
Short, sharp.
I think that was a great intro.
You're so fucking stupid.
I think that was subjectively really good.
I just need to put it in context, okay?
Because obviously every idjim, or is it just me,
that we kick off the show with, we don't know what it's going to be.
But you guys have been saying to me, should we do it this week?
No, no, we'll save it for next week.
No, we've got a really good one, Mitch.
And that was it.
I didn't even know that was going to be it.
I just knew I wanted to make you really awkward
and I wanted to build something up and it'd be lacklustre.
And there it was.
So you were being shit on purpose?
Yep.
Okay, well, now we're going to get into when we've been shit by accident.
Oh, no.
Because it's time for Jenna's Junk.
Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we?
In she comes.
Bring her in.
Come on, Jenna.
So producer Jenna is the person that we vet all out.
Is it just me?
Raves through.
Yep.
So we don't want the other to know what it's going to be every time we kick off the show.
Correct. So she's our filter.
Come on in, Jenna.
There's been many an idjim that she has said is just rubbish and absolutely cannot make
it to air.
To be fair, she was better at the start, but now she's quite harsh.
Well, I didn't expect her to be harsh at all because she's such a sweet person.
Very true.
But here she is. And we're going to rummage through your junk, Jenna.
Hello.
Hello.
Jenna, one question.
When was the last time your junk was rummaged through?
It's been a while.
This would be the first, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
That's exciting.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
First time we've rummaged through your junk.
Have you rummaged through anyone's, her style's junk before?
I feel like you've taken this from a sexual innuendo to just straight up asking me questions.
Because her junk...
This is the first time she's done this segment,
which means we've never rummaged through her junk.
Yeah, but I'm asking...
Are you asking me if I've touched someone's mort?
Oh, that's disgusting.
I would never.
I just had to make sure that we hadn't done this segment
in practice.
That was very inappropriate.
This is the first time we've done it, don't worry.
There's nothing sexual about this.
No.
It's about my junk.
Because I want to show how horrific your ideas are
Okay, now I need to rub it in
So come on Jenna, what's the first shit idjim that is in your junk?
Dive in it
Here we go
It's very dry
Is it just me?
Or do you always test squirt a bubbler?
That was mine
That's yours, that's terrible
Do you not though?
Every time I go up to a bubbler in public,
I'm not just going to stick my face into that putrid stream
without at least letting the first layers of particles
and gross crap through.
I always squirt it for a couple of seconds and then I dive in.
There's some science behind it.
You know when you go to a wee test at the doctor,
they're like, give me the first bit of stream
and then the midstream.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, so I guess there's binder. It's just a terrible
conversation. Who wants to hear? Yeah, because we've just finished
it. It's been 20 seconds and neither of us have
anything further to add. Is that why you put it in
Jenna's junk? Precisely. She's a pro.
Okay. Alright, what else have we got?
Okay, we have got...
Is it just me or
are pigeons just not an issue anymore?
I'll claim that. That's my one. And I still stand by it.
What do you mean pigeons aren't an issue anymore?
I just...
They're not extinct.
No, I feel like years ago pigeons were a much bigger epidemic in this country.
I haven't seen a pigeon in years.
You were very excited when you announced this one to me.
I thought it was going to get off the ground.
I thought it was probably one of the worst ideas I've ever heard in my life.
I know what you're saying.
It's like it's not that the issue's gone away.
It's just that we've found other things to complain about.
The Ibis, for example.
Oh, yeah, the bincher bin.
It's kind of like Coney.
Remember when everyone kept talking about that
and the problem didn't necessarily go away
but we just stopped talking about it.
Anyway, that's taken a dark turn.
Hold on, even seagulls, don't you reckon?
No, they're still an issue.
They're still there.
They're still up to their old mischief.
Maybe I'm just not around park or ocean anymore these days.
You live near the ocean, so you should, in theory, be experiencing all these things.
Yeah, but I'm not baking and or swimming.
It's not my thing.
So what?
You just don't have pigeons bother you anymore?
No, I haven't seen a pigeon in three years, and I hand on heart.
What?
You haven't seen a pigeon?
Nope.
What do you mean?
That's my thing.
They're just not around.
They are.
They definitely are.
It belongs in Jenna's junk.
Not in my circles.
That's a terrible
idgen come on jenna what's the next one absolute junk you asked me okay you didn't realize jenna's
junk is gonna be this bloody brutal will they get worse mitch do they they do get worse here we go
is it just me or a computer keyboard's way too hard to clean. They are. That's you. They are seriously no good.
No, I agree with that.
I've got an Apple, though, like a Mac, and the keyboards are much thinner.
Anything gets under it.
And once it's in there, it's gone.
So you think, oh, I'll just give it a quick wipe.
So you just wipe over all the keys.
You lock the computer so that you don't type gibberish.
And then you're like, that's not enough.
Bits of paper towel grit have gotten caught between the keys.
So then you're like, okay, I'll just kind of brush it with my fingers. And then you're like, that's not enough. Bits of paper towel grit have gotten caught between the keys. So then you're like, okay, I'll just kind of brush it with my fingers.
And then you're like, oh, God.
Okay, I've come this far.
I may as well commit.
So you fold the towel.
You kind of try and put it through each row of keys.
And even then, it's still not clean enough.
No, you're right.
There's still shit stuck down the side.
At one point, I'm turning my laptop upside down,
holding it above me, going, gravity, do your thing.
But they're just really difficult to clean.
I got a piece of pipe cleaner once and put it under
and it popped the N off, so now I don't have an N.
Oh, God.
Yeah, I know.
Very hard.
Riveting conversation here.
Let's move on.
That's why it was canned.
That's why it was canned.
Jesus, Jenna.
No need to be a bully.
Anyway, what's the next one?
Okay.
Let's get on to our next junk.
Here we go.
Why does it feel like you're a flight attendant briefing us on how to do our seatbelt up?
Because you're stupid.
It doesn't make sense.
Okay, next one.
Is it just me?
Or why do they call it a car in a fail when it's not current? Oh, see. Is it just me? Or why do they call it a current affair when it's not current?
Oh, see.
Is that you?
Yeah, it makes pure sense to me.
Good.
You know, that's a good point.
I look at it sometimes and I think that's very much an evergreen affair.
Yeah, and I also think Tracy knows it too.
I think sometimes Tracy's up there and she's delivering the intro to the story
and she's in the back of her head thinking, oh, I swear to God we've done this.
Yeah, it's an out-of-body experience.
We did this three years ago.
This piece of evergreen fluff just to fill time.
This isn't a current affair.
This is just a really first world problem that isn't going anywhere.
Yep, I think you're right.
Shonky builders.
Whatever happened to the other show, Today Tonight?
Do you remember Today Tonight?
They got rid of it because it was no good.
Yeah, but can I just say a very accurate name?
Today in the Night. They do still air I just say a very accurate name. Today in the night.
They do still air it in South Australia and Western Australia.
Yeah, they have a Perth and Adelaide one.
Really?
Isn't that funny?
They're still very angry down there.
Very.
They've still got lots of issues that need broadcasting.
I think that name's more to point.
Today, tonight, dance the sync.
Do you remember one time at Current Affair, they did a whole show takeover and it was
called A Gaga Affair.
It was literally just a half hour interview with Tracy Grimshaw and Lady Gaga.
I love that.
I was like, as much as I'm down for this, give me a Gaga Affair any night, but there's
got to be more important shit happening in the world than this.
Yeah, surely something.
I just thought that was really weird for a news and current affairs program to cover
that.
Yeah, surely there's some man ripping off an old woman.
Yeah.
Pretending to be an electrician.
The name is misleading.
You're right.
Anyway, belongs in the junk.
Jenna, what else have we got? That was good chat.
That could have been an idiom.
So I'm just saying, Jenna, your method or your vetting process is flawed.
Do you reckon if we crop that out and we insert it in one of the later shows,
let's hope no one notices.
Put that in.
Oh, yeah, we could do that.
As an actual joke.
Did we talk about any?
No, all we did was evergreen.
We didn't do any topical stuff. You may hear this repeated down the track, people. All right, yeah, we could do that. As an actual... Did we talk about any... No, all we did was Evergreen. We didn't do any topical stuff.
You may hear this repeated down the track, people.
All right, Jenna, carry on.
Okay.
Is it just me or...
Jenna, you stole the process by a month.
Can you shut up?
All right, we're ready to go.
Okay.
Do you have a problem?
No, I'm just saying.
You saw...
There's room in that bin for you, bucko.
You watch your mouth.
Me?
You'll end up in Jenna's junk.
I'm facing the two of you.
This is very intimidating.
You're already there.
How much?
I'd love to give it a try.
She's got a list of names and yours is in red underlined.
I bet it is.
Is it just me?
You've seen my point.
The fury in her voice now.
Or does IKEA need to revise their terms and conditions?
That would be mine.
That was mine.
Why?
Because, like I mentioned earlier, I've moved into a new apartment,
completely unfurnished.
The first time I've done that.
I've always just moved into share houses that are fully furnished.
You're telling me?
You've lived in slums.
Yeah, pretty much, but they've got a couch.
So I moved into this place totally empty, had to furnish it.
We're on the Ikea website, and as we're checking out, buying a couch,
we've seen the terms and conditions, will not deliver to PO boxes.
Oh, I remember this.
And I'm like, it's a couch.
Of course you won't deliver to PO boxes.
Who has tried to get it delivered for you to add that to the terms
and conditions?
Or were you being preemptive?
Like who pointed that out and went, guys, guys, guys,
we've got to make sure we put that in?
Who would be ordering that anyway?
No, I know.
A couch to a PO.O. box.
No, I know. There's no way I feel right.
When you say, I remember this, Jenna,
did you leak this to him? The rule
is that we run it to you so that the other doesn't know.
How did you fucking know? Jenna, I think
before Jenna went back to you with an answer,
this was in the early days, she
wanted to see what I thought of it.
You've never asked me what I
think of his terrible ones.
You know what? Jenna, I'm sensing a bias.
This is what happened. I was listening to you
Mitch Coombs.
Thank you.
I fell asleep listening to that one.
Went into my trash immediately.
I couldn't.
What a two-faced
mole. I'm very upset.
Excuse me? I was getting you to stop this, mole. I'm very upset. Excuse me.
I was going to stop this, please.
I'm in the trash now.
This is like a terrible telenovela.
Excuse me.
You're disgusting.
You're my uncle's brother and we've made love.
Let's tread carefully.
Jenna could kill all of us.
Every idea is going in the trash.
Not.
You're not that power.
Jenna just cancelled the show.
Imagine.
We've been axed, everyone. Sorry. What will we do without Jenna? All right. Have we got any more in the trash? We. You're not that power. I thought Jenna just cancelled the show. Imagine. We've been axed, everyone.
Sorry.
What would we do without Jenna?
All right, have we got any more in the trash?
Oh, we have a lot more.
No.
Do we?
But let's go one more.
We'll do one more.
Let's do it.
Let's see.
The best worst one.
Okay.
Well, this one's pretty terrible.
You don't have the authority to say that.
Okay.
She does.
I don't remember giving it to her, but she does.
Neither of us are challenging her.
She just found it.
Are you both finished?
Yes, we're done.
Okay, zip it.
Is it just me or is Beyonce overrated in The Lion King?
This was me.
Clearly that was you.
I just think she was terrible.
Nala as Beyonce.
She had like maybe half a dozen lines
But that's just such a boring angle to take
Like oh that's never been said
Beyonce's overrated
No didn't say that
In The Lion King
I think her discography's great
Again a very lathy angle
I saw everyone saying that online
I've heard it in real life a million times
Oh don't you reckon that Beyonce was like a little bit overrated
Like they didn't really need her.
Didn't say that?
Like guess what, bitch?
You went and you bought the ticket and you went and saw the movie.
So they won.
I got invited to the world premiere in Los Angeles.
Well, that's all we've got time for.
La la, wow.
What a cock.
Can I just say, did you enjoy Jenna's junk?
I did, yes.
It's actually quite pleasant.
Mm.
I think so.
Mm.
She looks after it.
She really does.
It's very well kept.
Now, you can never accuse Jenna of neglecting her junk.
Oh, God, no.
It's pristine down there.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You are so bad at sexual innuendos.
You just make it so obvious what we're getting at.
Very true.
Oh, God.
Appreciate you.
I take good care of my junk.
What can I say?
Jenna, that's disgusting.
Ever wondered what the Mitches look like in real life?
Just search at Kerri-Ann Kennelly and at Bert Newton on Instagram
to find out for yourself.
Who's who in that scenario?
I think it's obvious.
Yeah, I'm Bert.
You're right.
I'll take that.
I'll be Bert.
The luscious locks.
I'm Kerri-Ann.
What do you mean?
An Australian treasure.
True, but, you know,, well past her use by date.
Oh, how dare you?
Well, I know she's your co-worker and all, but have you ever had an awkward run in in the tea room with Kerri-Ann?
I'm yet to meet her, actually.
Really?
Yes.
She'd be the type of person that you could smell coming.
You know what I mean?
Like, she would be wearing so much perfume and everyone in the office would be very uptight that day.
No, she strikes me as the sort of person that would be thoroughly bothered
by others wearing a lot of perfume.
She checks herself.
She's self-aware in the perfume department.
Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right.
But look, what people can actually search to find us on Instagram
is couple of Mitches.
Not a couple, couple.
No, correct.
A couple of Mitches.
Why is it so hard?
It really isn't that hard.
At couple of Mitch's.
Go and get around it.
Look, it's nearly time for us to get out of here.
But first, Mitch, it is our third show.
And the whole time we've been doing this,
I have to keep reminding you that you're not on radio.
I just like to say.
Yes.
Team, congratulations on three shows.
Yes, okay.
Well done.
I think we're well-deserved.
And we've gotten this far.
And we have a great amount of reviews. And I think we're doing really well we've gotten this far And we have a great amount of reviews
And I think we're doing really well
But there's one problem that still remains
Is that you keep forgetting that this isn't radio
And you don't need to use the same amount of energy
When you're broadcasting here
As you do when you're on air
You're not a jock
Here's just a few of the times
That you've slipped into radio mode
Here on this podcast
How am I talking?
You're in radio mode
I know
You've got to relax
I'm going to shake it off.
Wait, wait, wait.
So who was singing?
You're using your radio voice again.
That's me, though.
I get excited.
You get extra breathy.
Okay, sorry.
Oh, I feel like we're a real radio show.
Well, we're not a radio show.
Okay, sorry.
I feel like we're a radio show.
I need to keep reminding you this.
You keep talking like an energetic bastard all the time.
You're trained to do that.
No, you've heard me.
I talk like that.
I went to a funeral and did the eulogy and I forward announced the bloody cremation.
Coming up with the next 20 finger sandwiches.
Okay.
Well, so you see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I love to clap too.
I don't know where that came from.
The reminders are falling on deaf ears apparently.
So I figured out that that is too much of a big ask to just say, hey Mitch, snap out
of it.
So I'm thinking baby steps.
Okay.
I can do baby steps.
Mitch, snap out of it.
So I'm thinking baby steps, okay?
I can do baby steps.
Instead of going straight out of radio mode and into podcast mode,
let's say that we're going to put you from FM radio mode into AM radio mode, okay?
So here's a segment that I'm calling Talk Back Tings.
I put the radio on.
Talk Back Radio really is just a world of its own, isn't it?
That's why I've got to be right wing all of a sudden.
No, no. Yell at women. Look, I listen to Talk Back Radio a lot just a world of its own, isn't it? That's why I've got to be right wing all of a sudden. No, no.
Yell at women.
Look, I listen to Talkback Radio a lot because I like to know what else is going on.
I like to get out of the FM bubble, unlike yourself.
No, no, no.
I like Ben Fordham's program, but that's about it.
We're going way more talkback than that today, okay?
Really?
Because whenever I listen around, I like to bring little pieces of gold and show them to you, okay?
That's how this segment's going to work.
No, I agree.
And today, I want you to take inspiration.
Because this show that I heard, I heard the start of someone's show.
I want you, pretend you're him.
I want you to jump in where you think, as an FM radio guy, it would be appropriate to turn the mics on and start talking.
Okay.
So, like, in FM radio, what I do is I'll set something up.
I'll play an opening.
I'll speak right on the post, as we call it. This is the show opener. So, the start. and start talking. Okay, so like in FM radio, what I do is I'll set something up, I'll play an opening, I'll speak right on the post as we call it.
This is the show opener, so the start.
Okay, so...
So where would you think it would be appropriate to start talking?
Have a listen.
Okay, all right.
Oh, God.
Oh, my.
Brent Bolditude in the afternoon.
Phone now to have your say.
131269.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome to the program.
Well, there we go.
I feel like that's normal.
That's where you go wrong.
You're in way too much of a rush.
You've got to let it breathe.
I'm trying to help you here.
You've got to be more like an AM radio guy because this guy, turn it off.
He's in absolutely no rush to start talking.
He's definitely not.
I want you to take a listen to just how long he left between the show opener and him starting to talk.
Here it is.
Brent Bolditude in the afternoon.
Phone now to have your say.
13-12-69.
Well, that's where I would have spoken.
No, no.
Give it time.
Not for the rest. Surely it time. Can I put it away?
Surely it'll be late now.
No.
We'll wait.
People need to go to our Instagram to see your face.
You are horrified.
Hi, everyone.
What?
Wrapping up.
Hi, afternoon.
Where is the man?
Surely it's going to be now.
No, no.
Listen and take notes.
I want you to be more like him.
What, dead?
Oh, I can feel it Surely it'll be
I can hear it
Now
No, not yet
Is he asleep?
Not yet.
I'm visibly anxious.
Shh.
Give him time.
Jazz flute.
When he's ready.
This can't be real.
I haven't edited this.
Here we go.
Okay.
Building. Jolly't edited this. Here we go. Okay. Building.
Jolly.
Jolly.
Now he goes.
Oh, my God.
What?
You'd think, wouldn't you?
What?
They've got him.
Ample opportunity.
Shh.
He'll join it when he's time.
He's all right.
He could have fallen.
Now.
Now.
Surely now.
Oh, I love that.
Inbound.
Do you actually get this?
Is this real?
Yeah.
I haven't edited it.
Good afternoon.
I trust you. There he is.
Oh, thank you.
Can you count me?
I think that that was a perfect example of how to just take a step back and not be so rushed.
No, I had four minor heart attacks in that.
Pulmonary embolism.
You've got to try and break the habit of being a radio guy on this podcast. No, I have to say, truthfully, that gives me anxiety.
I've been trained to...
Imagine not having anxiety already.
Wow.
Okay.
Not funny.
Hey, if anyone was curious, he left that opener for two minutes and 35 seconds.
Holy...
That's how long I meant to talk for.
Start, set up, take calls and go into the ads.
What was he doing?
I don't know.
That's none of your business.
It's none of anyone's business.
It doesn't matter.
It's AM radio.
No one's in a rush.
I can't handle that. maybe he's not all there although given his demo imagine how many people passed during that time but no i'm serious i think that we need to seriously coach
you on how to be more relaxed and less uptight radio guy on this podcast i want you to play our
open and see how long you can go without talking. Oh, no.
No, that makes me feel sick.
Mitchell, either you're committed to this or you're not.
Okay, I can do it.
So our show open night and I'm going to just let it go for as long as I can comfortably
do it.
Okay.
I can feel my prostate itching.
What's an old person thing?
Someone get me a glass of milk.
All right, I'll take my Caltrate and we're good.
Now here's Mitch, Julie, and Mitchell Coons. I hate this.
Hi, everyone.
I had to do it.
I could have not.
That was nothing.
I had to.
That was nothing.
I physically had to.
How long is the audio file that our opener's going to take?
It goes for eight more minutes.
You had so much time up your sleeve.
Eight minutes?
Yes.
That's not possible.
I think it is.
I could not have done that.
It's a podcast.
Who writes the rule book?
Well, no one, but who finds that entertaining?
I think it's quite relaxing.
You think it's relaxing?
Yep.
This ridiculous EDM beat.
Sounds like it's from an under-18s party.
Do you want to hook up with me?
Do you bring Gatorade?
My dad gave me a cigarette.
Actually, my stepdad, sorry.
You know what I mean, anyway.
God!
See, I have to talk.
The worst thing that everyone fears in radio is dead air.
Yeah, it's just this.
Ready?
How long can you go with dead air on this show?
Ready?
Turn it off.
Okay, okay, okay.
Nah, can't do it.
Oh, what?
I cannot do that long.
God, look at him, Jenna.
He's a freak.
The backup track kicks in after 30.
There's no backup track here, I'm telling you.
Really?
You've got to kick these habits.
Try again.
Okay.
I can see Jenna's nails growing.
What are the P2s thinking?
Well, it's no longer dead air because you keep interrupting it. Okay, we'll see.
I have to.
I have to do it.
We'll cut that.
You know what's funny?
I go out to cafes.
That's not the story.
And I'll hear them play Spotify.
And on Spotify, a song ends, you know, a song will play, naturally end, and the next one will start. To me, I freak out to cafes, that's not the story, and I'll hear them play Spotify. And on Spotify, a song ends, you know, a song will play,
naturally end, and the next one will start.
To me, I freak out.
I'm like, is that Kix?
Are we off air?
On it during Peppo!
Actually, I do that too sometimes when I hear a really shit seg.
Because if you just play a song, like back to back on Apple Music,
Spotify, whatever, it leaves the silence between them.
And I'm sitting there going, oh, that would be turmoil in our workplace.
So I'm with you on that.
But I just think we've got our work cut out for us, don't we, Jenna?
Oh, you sure do.
Trying to get him into a podcast guy.
Jenna's doing nothing.
You sure do.
You're doing no work.
We'll come up with something to do next week, won't we?
Well, I think it's my turn to come up with something because you guys have just put it
on me every single week.
Well, that's true, actually.
The only person that can help you is yourself when it comes to trying to change.
You're just not good.
What the fuck, Jenna?
Are you serious?
I love that.
That's a beautiful note to end on.
Let's go.
Don't forget to follow a couple of Mitch's and leave us a very good review on the iTunes store.
Yeah, please do.
You're just not good.
That's very off.
Get over it.
It's fine.
You're just not good.
That cuts to my core.
Yeah, whatever.
Come on.
Can I generate a question from the two of you?
And I want to ask, honestly. Have you heard my show I do at night? No. Yeah, whatever. Come on. Can I get a genuine question from the two of you? And I want to ask, honestly.
Have you heard my show I do at night?
No.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
What do you think of it?
It's fine.
Pardon?
It's bad.
Oh, please.
You're in bed with a cup of bloody Horlicks by eight.
What's Horlicks?
I don't even know what that is.
It's like a...
It puts you to sleep.
It's like a malt drink.
Sounds like a slur.
Oh, I've heard that.
Whore licks.
Jesus Christ.
All right, guys.
Thank you for listening once again.
See you in at four.
We will catch you next week, okay?
Yeah.
Got a lot planned.
Same time, same place.
See you there.
At a couple of...
At a couple of...
Fuck!
I shouldn't do it.
At a couple of bitches on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Periscope.
Do people use Periscope anymore?
No, but we have Bebo.
Who?
No.
Oh.
You can Venmo me money.
Follow us on OnlyFans for the real generous junk.
You know, one of my friends from high school posted on their Instagram,
follow my OnlyFans.
And I clicked on the link.
He's having sex.
My housemate, like, pays half his rent using an OnlyFans account.
Are you serious?
Is this...
I won't say the name.
Jordan, I don't care.
He's quite proud of it.
He didn't take the nudes especially for the account.
He just figures that he's already got these nudes.
He may as well just pop them on the internet in a place that they're going to be rented
out at a monthly cost.
Wow.
And he actually has enough money.
He makes money.
He has a lot of subscribers, yes.
Does he really?
I'm like, oh, Christ.
We should start Lick Our Nudes.
You need an iPad to view mine.
Not in the right way.
In the body.
I'm all right with that.
No, I've started.
Maybe you are more AM radio than I thought.
Can't even laugh at that breaking into a fit.
We seriously need to go.
Thank you guys for listening.
See you next week.
As always.
Bye-bye.
Is it just me?
Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app.
Secret segment time.
God.
Are you good?
I'm actually okay.
I don't know what it is.
I have like a laugh, laugh, and then the one that leads in gets me,
and I'm done.
And I feel like all the veins in my chest have burst.
It's quite painful. I don't know whether to take it as a compliment whenever I, like,
whenever one of my jokes,
the end result is you having a fit.
Sometimes I'm like, oh, that must have been a cracker because he's having a fit.
But then I'm also like, oh, God, that's gross.
No, it's the highest form of compliment.
Oh, good.
Okay.
Good to know.
Yeah.
Welcome to ADD Brief.
This is our secret segment.
Hi.
After the show's done, this is where we don't want anyone listening.
Yeah.
And if you're here, it's your own fault.
Yeah, we speak a secret language. If you think this is bad content don't want anyone listening. Yeah. And if you're here, it's your own fault. Yeah, we speak a secret language.
If you think this is bad content, no one wanted you to listen, so you have only yourself to blame.
If you are here, you are self-sabotaging.
And you can't rate this part of the show.
That's the rule we have.
That is the rule.
If you're leaving a review on iTunes, this can't influence your opinion.
Yep.
It's only the show that counts.
It's like, this part is out of Oscar season.
You know how they release movies in December and they just do it for fun?
Yeah, exactly.
This is exactly
what this is.
I think it's more
like a bastard
child that you
want to keep
secret.
I don't want
anyone to listen
to this bit.
Yeah, yeah,
good point.
It reflects very
badly on us.
But anyway,
here we are.
So this is where
we just unscripted,
we talk shit,
nothing's planned.
Can we just
discuss Jenna's
attitude in this
show?
I said,
Jenna, you come
in here and you
be yourself.
And she's doing
that.
Alright, bitch.
Oh, excuse me. You're actually not Jenna. And we do this shtick on the show you be yourself. And she's doing that. All right, bitch. Oh, excuse me.
You're actually not, Jenna.
And we do this shtick on the show that we fight.
We're actually very close.
She's like too close, if you ask me.
No, you're not.
We're not that close.
I've just backtracked on my friendship.
Oh, Christ.
Oh, I just looked on our little camera system here that we have filming the show for our social media.
Couple of mitches, everyone.
Don't forget it.
And I put camera three on Jenna's seat so that when she came in for Jenna's junk, she'd be on camera.
Yeah.
How the fuck did it get back around here?
It's on a cardboard cut out of Jackie O.
Promo for the Masked Singer.
That's awful.
That's not Jenna.
I'm looking down at camera three going, oh, how did that happen?
Okay, well, I feel neglected again.
Do you think we could promo that Jackie was on the show and not tell anyone and then this
be the feature?
What?
We could just say, Jackie, I'm on the show this week, but it's the cardboard cutout.
Well, I think that the joke would be pretty well let up once she, A, doesn't talk, B,
people can't see the cardboard cutout.
We could say we have a cardboard cutout of anyone, and how are they going to fucking prove it?
That's my point.
We'll get the listeners still.
Just so you know, dear Is It Just Me listeners, we have a cardboard cutout of Cruella DeVille.
Yeah.
Prove me wrong, bitch.
It was so nice of the cardboard cutout of Winston Churchill to be delivered today.
Winstonwithaway.com.au.
They're back.
The Twitter is live. Stop it. We got one.com.au. They're back. The Twitter is live.
Stop it.
We got one.
That's so nice.
Ed Cavill.
I love the show.
Anyone looking for another co-host because he's unemployed.
No, he's filling in for Kate Langbrook.
Is he?
Yeah.
God.
Husey and Ed in the afternoon.
Is that what it's called?
Well, no, it's still called Husey and Kate.
Does he drag on like she does?
Like, Tuesday.
No, I don't know.
I haven't listened, actually.
That's a good Kate impression.
No, you know what I like about Kate?
Kate Langville?
Whenever she starts a point with,
He's the thing, Hugh.
She always calls him Hugh.
Hugh.
What do I call you?
I call you Mitch.
Which, yeah, it's not good, is it?
What do you call me?
You call me Mitch, too. It depends if you're in trouble or not. We have fought a lot this week. What are you call you? I call you Mitch. Which, yeah, it's not good, is it? What do you call me? You call me Mitch too.
It depends if you're in trouble or not.
We have fought a lot this week.
What are you talking about?
We've fought quite a bit.
What have we argued about?
What are you talking about?
Well, we've just sort of, I don't know.
This week you and I have been fighting like...
When in reality we should be...
You know what I mean?
What does that mean?
Because that sounded like a bow and arrow.
With pleasure, just quietly.
Yeah, not pleasure, more like...
Shoot you in the brain.
Are you an idiot?
Jen is there with a ukulele.
I don't have one of them.
Oh, sorry.
Actually, thank God someone did that because this is the point of the show where the live
tweets turn on.
Anyone can tweet us at any time.
At couple of mitches.
Anyone with common sense knows that's not possible.
How?
Because the podcasts aren't live.
You stream them.
Yeah, but people just tweet us hoping that they're catchers at this moment.
No, they don't.
Yeah, they do.
Oh, just got one.
That's crazy that people do that.
Oh, shit.
Oh, what?
That was like six at once.
That's crazy.
Oh, no.
Someone sat on their phone.
That's what happens.
Also, we have the lines open on 1-800-886-666-44296.
So if you want to ring us, give us a buzz.
That easy.
Prize money.
Just coins.
So trying to get him out of radio mode is going really well, Jenna.
Isn't it?
Very well.
Jenna, say hi to me.
Why?
Just say hi to me.
Hi.
Hi!
I'm going to delete that shit out.
No, you're not, because it's hidden.
Well, we're here.
I think we should discuss the agents who didn't make it.
Do you have any more?
We already did that.
I actually have some advice that I need from both of you, to be honest.
Yeah.
So you know how we all have our fake Facebook accounts?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Now, I'll give you the credit where credit's due.
You started this.
Yes.
And Jenna.
I'd like to interject here.
Yeah.
Actually, that's true.
So we have all these Facebook accounts that we use to impersonate baby boomers, like really
old, gross people.
It started when Jenna and I were working together doing social media managing, and we didn't
like all the notifications coming through to our personal Facebook.
Where'd you work?
Impulse or something?
Some spray or something?
Impulse spray?
Yeah.
You worked PR for Impulse Spray, didn't you?
No, we didn't.
Anyway, so it was a small startup.
We made these Facebook accounts to run it, and then it just took over our lives.
These Facebook accounts, they adapted personalities. Very funny. we update them as though it's a real person we just check into random
locations and we all have one each so so jenna why don't you introduce yours okay can i'll start
at the very beginning um my first fake profile was um brianne townpool may she rest in peace
she unfortunately passed away didn't she got shut down shut down because Jenna was using the account to, like,
share our workplace's content into random groups.
Oh, you had to get it tracked.
And then Facebook realised.
Like, if we wrote, I don't know, an article about Kim Kardashian,
Breanne would find a Kim Kardashian fan group on Facebook
and put the article in there.
Very smart.
But then Facebook figured out that she was a spam because that's all she did.
Yes. And so she did. Yes.
And so she got shut down.
What has risen from the ashes is much better than Breanne because your current Facebook
account is very good.
Yes.
Jenny Townpool.
Yep.
There we go.
One and only.
She is a 67-year-old woman from Dubbo.
So everyone go add Jenny Townpool on Facebook.
That's Jenna.
And then there's you.
So there's mine.
Mine is Elizabeth okay, so mine
is Elizabeth
Libby Trickett.
She was called Libby as a kid
and she used to
love it. And then all of a sudden
the swimmer Libby Trickett came
about and rose to fame and it really
pissed her off. So she only,
the only reason Elizabeth Libby Trickett
joined Facebook was to troll Libby
Trickett, the poor swimmer
who now works for charities. So Jenna
and I had our accounts. We were showing Mitch and he goes
oh I'm going to come up with an idea. Like
six months later you're like I've got it.
Took me a while. I'm going to call her Elizabeth Trickett
and her entire shtick is hating Libby Trickett
and I was like great. Well it was either that or Catherine
Freeman. You can see where that was going to go.
And then I've got my fake Facebook account Bernice Marie King so there's three Facebook accounts you need to add Jenny Townpool Elizabeth Libby Trickett and Bernice Marie King
now we use these accounts and like I said they've taken on personalities they've all got backstories
so this is what I'm worried about because I mentioned that I need advice from you both okay
yeah because I'm worried that I'm going to do something and it's going to come unstuck because I have had an idea.
My housemate and I thought of this together.
So the apartment building that he used to live in had a Facebook group for the whole building.
Right.
And they'd use it to, like, organise, like, oh, we're all playing badminton down in the foyer or whatever.
Apparently it was really good for like community maintaining,
you know, being really friendly, stuff like that.
You know what I'm saying?
That's very nice.
And so we moved into this new apartment building,
realised there was no Facebook group for it.
And we thought, well, that's where Bernice steps in.
Right.
So we've created the Facebook group for my apartment building.
And now this is where I'm like, am I about to go too far?
Because I've made flyers to go underneath everyone's door.
Do you have them, man?
It's in hideous handwriting, like the grossest font that you could picture.
You can picture Bernice has been sitting at her laptop trying to figure out
how to use Word and WordArt for ages.
It says, I'll do it in a gross voice.
It's got a beautiful border.
Hi, everyone.
Feel free to join this Facebook group for the apartment building.
It'll be perfect for communicating with neighbours, local recommendations, lost and founds, mail
showing up to the wrong door, letting people know they left their headlights on and publicly
shaming ratbags for being too loud.
Search, and then I've given the address, which is the name of the group.
Highlight it.
And request to join.
search and then I've given the address,
which is the name of the group.
Highlighted.
And request to join.
So the gag is that all these people in my apartment building are going to join this group and see that the admin
is Bernice Marie King, this revolting woman
that I've created.
And Jordan and I are thinking that our first post,
once everyone's in the group, will be,
sorry everyone, my pet snake got out of the tank.
With no follow-up? My question is, too far, yes snake got out of the tank. No follow-up?
My question is, too far, yes or no?
No.
Perfect.
That's ideal.
I think you have to do it.
But these are real people I'm fucking with.
I don't care.
Most people went on these accounts that we run.
It's like everyone's in on it.
Our friends have added the account because we've told them about it.
Or they're my podcast listeners right now who are going to add the account.
But I feel like fucking with my real life neighbours about snakes on the loose.
I don't know if that's, is that too far?
That's what I was going to say.
I don't think they can legally track it to you, can they?
You're not friends with Bernice.
Well, I've confessed on record right now.
You're not going to find it.
I don't think there's anything illegal about that.
Oh my God, Jenna, I just realised.
Did you get a message back from our lawyer about whether Is It Just Me is copyrighted?
Oh, yes I did actually.
Good, good. Let me just bring it up.
I didn't know we had a lawyer, that's great.
Irene, the company lawyer. Oh, of course.
What did she say? Very, very good.
Hi Jenna.
No, it is not trademarked.
Suck on that Chrissy Swan.
But,
there is a film called
Is It Just Me? Oh no.
Oh what?
Should be low risk though. Very low risk.
I've never heard of it. Neither have I. Probably starring
Timothy Chamelay. And anyone watching that movie
probably hasn't heard of this podcast. It's fine.
Different circles. Alright, we're good.
We shan't be getting a lawsuit from Chrissy Swann
anymore. Love her.
So we can do whatever we want. Free reign.
No, that's not.
You're jumping to a bit of a conclusion there.
What does that mean though?
We can just.
We're saying that the name isn't trademarked,
so no one owns it.
Well, how do we trademark it?
Let's do it.
I don't know.
You just ask Irene to do it.
Yeah, Jenna, can you ask her to trademark it?
I'll email her now.
You can front that fee, surely.
But anyway, look.
What was that on your phone?
You did just check.
Coming back to the baby boomer Facebook account thing.
Is that too far?
Because I've got these flyers.
I'm going to print off enough to go under everyone's door.
And then it could actually be a great thing.
They actually use it for what it's for.
I agree.
I think it's rooted in harmony.
You know, I think it's rooted in a sense of community.
And I think this is one to test the waters with.
Snake's fine. You could make it worse. Sorry rooted in a sense of community. And I think this is one to test the waters with. Snake's fine.
You could make it worse.
Sorry.
Apparently there's a fire.
My granddaughter's apparently there's a fire in Unit 7B.
But I'm out at Coles right now.
I walked.
That's bad.
But a snake is fine.
That sort of just makes people check behind them.
What other fucked up things could I put in the group?
You could message girls.
There's a serial killer.
Jenna.
Level four.
That's stupid.
Why did your head go straight there?
That's ridiculous.
I'd be scared.
You know what you should do?
You should go, hi all, comma, enter, enter.
Just to say if I realise I left my four-month-old niece, Emeril,
in the cot on level 7B.
In the bath with the water running.
In the bath with the water running.
Level 7B.
I've also got Easy Mac on the stovetop.
And left my hair straightened on. And left my hair straightened on.
And left my hair straightened on.
It's from Aldi, so you know how that shit can be.
Please go up.
The spare key fob is under the pot plant next to the elevator.
See?
There is no pot plant next to the elevator.
That's even worse.
Like, we just send them on a wild goose hunt to try and rescue this toddler.
And the Easy Mac.
I could call the cops.
Bloody hell.
Yeah, no, I can't do that.
That's too much.
You could also post that it's your birthday.
There's empty syringes.
Oh, Jenna.
Jenna, what is going on in your head?
You could go, hey, let's do a starter birthday raffle.
Mine's tomorrow.
And then just not do it for anyone else.
And then try and get free gifts.
That could be good.
You could do a surprise paintball happening outside tomorrow.
Watch yourself.
You know what could be good?
You set up a Christmas party, but on the day of, everyone's going.
You post a sick message.
I'm so sorry.
I've come down with pneumonia and I will not be able to make it
everyone bring a plate
everyone will go there
but Bernice won't be there
you need excuses
for not coming every time
I've been evicted
what is wrong with you
I've been murdered
you're very doom and gloom
about Bernice
she's not trying to sabotage
these people's lives
I don't like how you
call her a fake person
I see her as a real human in our hearts.
I genuinely believe that Bernice is funnier than I am.
The things I post on that page are brilliant.
That's my best work.
They're very funny.
One of my favourite Jennys, sorry to just stray from our two,
she put up a photo of Princess Diana.
But it's like 420p.
It's pixelated as all fuck.
And it says, she's just put it up love this photo of me
it's quite clearly princess diana yeah jenna's actually really funny on jenny jenna is very good
on jenny i'd like to say jenny is very funny jenny's very one of my favorite things that
mitch does as elizabeth libby trickett is he makes up fictional suburb names so we're at red rooster
one night i see him come back from the bathroom and just sneakily take a photo of this gross woman sitting at a table.
And he goes, he writes the status as Elizabeth Libby Trickett.
And it says, great to catch up with Helen at KFC Nary Warrabean.
Warrabaradine.
Warrabaradine.
You're really good at coming up with suburbs on the spot.
Yeah, gangadaddle there.
Hey, Mitch, where did I go up?
Tristleton.
Tristleton.
Sounds like something out of Horton Hears a Who.
So, yes, just recapping.
Everyone go add Elizabeth Libby Trickett on Facebook,
Jenny Townpool and Bernice Marie King.
Oh, another one.
Who is that?
Oh, that's nice.
Guess who it is.
Who?
Gretel Colleen. Oh, what did she say? She said, love the show. Oh, thanks, G's nice. Guess who it is? Who? Gretel Colleen.
Oh, what'd she say?
She said, love the show.
Oh, thanks, Gretel.
That's nice.
Loved your show.
You know, I actually wrote Gretel Colleen's fan mail as a child.
My parents were like, we can't send this to her.
And I was like, why the fuck not?
And they were like, because we don't know her address.
And that was when I started to learn about mail as a kid.
Oh, I thought you meant as in man.
I'm like, Gretel's a woman.
No, mail as in like,
you know, snail male.
That's what I learned
about the male species.
The post.
With Gret Colleen.
What?
No.
But yes, she never did reach,
that female never did reach her.
I'd love to get her on.
We could get her on.
I have her personal number
in my contact photos.
Of course you do.
Should we ring her?
Not now.
We could just prank call her
or whatever.
What is with you?
You can't do that.
Yes, you can.
No.
Yeah, ask, what's her name?
Lee Sales.
A lawyer or whatever her name is.
Tracy.
Irene.
Let me just check.
Yeah, I do have it.
Why do you have it?
On a show I used to work for,
she was good friends with the hosts of the network.
Why don't you...
And you know what happened?
What?
She told that person that I was extremely rude.
Well, you are.
I am not rude.
If I am anything, I'm nice.
What do you think you did to make Gretel Colleen think you're rude?
I didn't reply to an email.
Oh, that is rude.
No, no, no.
It was the end of a conversation, but it was almost, it could have continued on.
I will find it in my inbox.
Okay.
Here it is.
Hi, Mitch.
I'm so sorry about the delayed reply.
Very nice.
This is 2017.
We've been caught in a deadline and just surfacing now, re-catching up on emails.
Is it too late to send in a video?
I was making a marriage equality support video Is it too late to send in a video?
I was making a marriage equality support video and getting famous people to send in,
hi, I'm, you know, Burt Newton
and I support marriage equality.
Doubt it.
Although.
And, you know, we're in more than two parts.
Carry on.
And she, and I never replied to that.
Oh, why didn't you?
Oh, no, I did, apparently. I said, hi, G i said hi gretel yep yep yep send this and she
said hi mitch thank you this sounds really fun but i'm sorry i can't squeeze it in i'm in perth
best wishes for the shoot and i never applied and then apparently when she saw that talent
she went back and said because you're producing for them correct she went i never heard back from
him and that was passed on to me but i interviewed her the other other day for The Masked Singer and we had a right laugh.
We should go.
We should really get out of here.
Thanks so much for tuning in to episode three of Is It Just Me, everyone.
Probably ideally in the scheme of things,
the tiredest episode we've had.
What do you mean?
We all feel very tired.
Speak for yourself.
No, we don't.
Really?
Can I tell you, if we're actually having this conversation,
I was extremely
tired at the end of episode one really and i was literally struggling but i listened back and i
was like can't tell fuck i'm good really yeah oh maybe that'll be the case with this one what that
you won't be able to tell because i'm not tired i'm good i'm exhausted oh who's that griddle she
says she is too.
Isn't it interesting that she's listening live?
Well, she's not.
She can't.
Okay.
Okay, everyone.
I have it on record.
Mitch has promised to do another Coughing Fit Chicken call next week in episode four.
So you'll be able to tune in for that.
I've committed.
We haven't chosen where, who or when, correct?
Yes.
We're open to suggestions, in fact.
Can I just say, if you'd like to let us know who you want me to cough at in the face of,
what a ridiculous thing to say.
Not in the face of.
Imagine a verbal, oh my God, imagine an in real life. No, it's not happening.
It's not happening.
Who could he do it to?
The bakery.
Who's someone in this office, Jenna, that it would be appropriate for him to say, hey,
can we put in time to chat today?
He sets up a meeting and he just starts coughing.
Oh, my God.
There'd have to be something in it for me.
I would do that, but there'd have to be something in it for me.
Good content for your loyal and committed podcast listeners.
I'd like a free meal somewhere.
Is this how this is going to work?
That I'm not doing this idea unless I get something out of it?
To get me to cough in front of an important figure in this building.
How do you want good content for the show or not?
Yeah, but also on a meal.
Is it just me?
