People do some weird shit.
A surge in young people inhaling the gas from cooking canisters known as mains to get high.
Some things make more sense than others.
I've done everything for you. I've put my career on hold.
I could have been anything if I'd had the talent.
Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for.
This is leadership.
I think he's one of the greatest leaders we've ever had.
Do you?
Yeah.
Well, good, I hope.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Should one of us be Mitch and the other be Mitchell just to make things easier?
You're Mitch.
I only call you Mitchell when you're being annoying.
You always call me Mitchell.
Oh.
Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coon.
Well, fuck me dead. We're back. Hello, guys. How are we all? How are we? I'm good. How are you? Oh, now here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs.
Well, fuck me dead, we're back.
Hello, guys.
How are we all?
I'm good.
How are you?
Very well, you know.
I'm good.
Thanks for asking.
Hello, groundskeeper Jenna.
We do get to you, you know.
You don't have to just jump on in. Yeah, you don't need to come in.
You don't need to blast through the doors with all this attitude about, oh, you haven't
acknowledged me yet.
Far out.
I'm literally talking to the co-host.
Yeah.
And then I will make my way to you. oh, you haven't acknowledged me yet. Far out. I'm literally talking to the co-host. Yeah. And then I will make my way to you.
No, you wouldn't.
You don't go to Modern Family,
then all of a sudden you talk to Sofia Vergara
and the fucking dog wants a buddy mention.
It's about the families.
I love how you've likened her to Sofia Vergara's dog.
We're the lead cast.
She's a dog.
You're Ted Bundy.
Who's the...
Ted Bundy?
Sorry, Ted Bundy.
I wouldn't have thought so.
Serial killer.
You're Ed. I'm done for you anyway. Who are they? Ted Bundy. Sorry, Ted Bundy. Wouldn't have thought so. Serial killer. You're Ed, I'm Dunphy.
Anyway.
Who were they?
The main characters.
Oh, I would have thought we'd be Mitch and Cam.
Oh, fuck.
We've got a lot more in common with them.
Firstly, Mitch and also the whole gay thing.
Yeah, and the roundness, the retuneness.
Oh my God, that is you.
Oh my God, I'm Cam.
I'm the wranger.
Actually, Cam's good.
He's a straight man that plays the gay role.
I think that's the definition of good acting.
It always surprises me that the larger one on Modern Family is actually straight.
Yeah.
That's so weird.
Do you remember when he was on American Horror Story?
Yeah, and he was killed.
He was really freaky.
Yeah, he was killed by a pig, wasn't he?
Yeah.
Oh, the pig, yes.
That's horrific.
Is he a good actor, or did it just seem like Cam from Modern Family
in a different show?
At first it felt like Cam but then it got all weird.
It's like whenever you see a character that's a real character actor
in another movie, like when the Suite Life of Zack and Cody
are all of a sudden in some sort of gay love fest,
I'm like, go back to the Tipton Hotel, you piece of shit.
Anyway, it's a big show.
We've got a lot going on, including...
It's you, Jenna.
No!
It's Jenna's birthday.
Jenna's birthday?
Just when you came in with all this toot about us forgetting you.
Little did you know.
We had everything planned.
Remember this?
Remember this?
Yeah, this is a live recording from the 12th Battalion.
Oh, those were the days.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Thanks.
You don't look excited that we've remembered.
No, that was lovely.
It just brought back a lot of memories of the Battalion.
Well, you were hung in the town square that afternoon,
but still a beautiful on your birthday.
Don't dwell on your past lives.
Focus on the current one.
Another year of Jenna's birth.
Correct.
I mean, you did commit genocide too,
so I think it's fair that you were the whole hanging thing.
She puts the Jenna in genocide.
Genocide!
That's brilliant.
Anyway, we haven't forgotten, and in fact, Mitch, should we do it?
We've got a couple of things planned for you, our dearest Jenna.
We do?
Let me just go over to the...
No, it's not a pet.
No, it's not another pet.
Hey, what did I message you this week?
Well, he did say, should I get her another fish?
Obviously, that was your Christmas present back in episode 13, but no.
That's an old bit.
I said, no, actually, what I said was, don't, because you might have to get another tank.
There might be a limit on the amount of space per fish.
You know how it works.
Yeah, and they kill each other.
Well, they're Siamese fighting fish.
They won't bother you.
Yeah, so good thing we didn't go ahead with that idea.
But instead, one of our mates, Georgie, who listens to the podcast,
she runs a baking Instagram account at Get Baked With Georgie.
Brilliant.
I just, when as soon as I saw that Instagram handle, I was like,
oh, my God, I need to do business with her.
Genius.
So we've asked her to prepare a little something.
She's hiding next door, actually, because we wanted to surprise you.
What?
That's her cue.
She's in the glass newsroom.
Come in.
Here she comes.
No way.
Here we go.
Georgie, this is Jenna.
Jenna, this is Georgie.
Hi.
Social distance.
Now, Jenna, she's got Facebook and Instagram, Get Baked With Georgie.
They look to die for, but you've got your own right in front of you,
so come on, open them up.
Georgie, hop on the mic down here.
We'll put you on.
We also got a special message written on top of them for you.
You got them customized.
Well, we just thought that it was a great opportunity to tell you
that you're a great friend, so we got killer cookie for a killer friend.
We sure did.
Oh, my God.
I love it so much.
Show me, show me.
They're so cute.
Look at them.
Oh, God.
Oh, they look so good.
I love a vanilla cookie and a bit of icing, you know?
What does it say?
It says killer cookies for a killer.
No, it's not meant to say that.
I thought it was meant to say killer friend.
Well, Cherry left me on read.
I told him I couldn't read them all.
I was on holidays.
I was on holidays.
Wait, wait, wait.
There was a word limit on the cookie.
I didn't tell him that.
Georgie, what, you just made the font smaller?
It's a stamp.
It's not like words.
Oh, you ignored our message, you asshole.
I didn't ignore your message.
We teed it up and then I went on holidays and I forgot.
Well, do you know what?
It's two days ago.
You shouldn't have just gone with killer.
For a killer.
Do you know what?
It kind of works.
Oh, my God.
Because, Jenna, we did that quiz on our show once
and you have serial killer tendencies.
You've got horror movie vibes.
It still works.
Killer cookies for a killer.
I thought that was the best I could do, so I just rean with it.
Do you know what?
It worked. It really worked. You did pass a killer. I thought that was the best I could do, so I just ran with it. Do you know what? It worked.
It really worked.
You did pass the test.
You'd organised this.
We're going to put a photo of these up on our Instagram,
that and a couple of Mitch's.
But also, you've got to stalk at Get Baked with Georgie.
They look delightful.
Can I have one?
Can I have one too?
Check one here.
I'm professional to eat on the podcast.
Would you like one?
No, I've never eaten one, so.
What do you mean you've never eaten one of your own cookies?
I've never eaten one.
Oh, fuck off.
Why?
Jenna, sorry to give out your present, but can she try one of her own cookies?
Of course.
I've actually never eaten one.
Oh, these are so divine.
Killer cookies for a killer.
This is too fucking funny.
Now, while we all munch away on these killer cookies, we have another present, Jenna.
I organised something as well.
Mitch was obviously going to
stuff up so I have a plan B.
Back up.
A second present for you.
Really? Yep.
Oh my god these cookies. Mitch try it.
Are they good? I love. There's nothing
I love more than a vanilla cookie with icing on it.
I mean my insulin's already
spiked but this is just pushing me through the roof.
Isn't it good?
Oh my god. How good are good? Oh, my God.
How good are they?
I could eat a hundred.
Are you dead set?
And it's not that, like, you know that really hard icing that people put on top of shit?
Yeah.
It's soft.
And it's not sickly either.
I think I have a feeling I know what this is, and I'm really excited.
Well, the box is quite long.
It looks like a wand from a Harry Potter movie.
It's in a long box from Hufflepuff's door of witches or something,
whatever the fuck that is.
Oh, she's excited.
Show us, Jenna.
What is it?
It's one of those, like, taser.
It's not a taser.
Jenna, we didn't get you a taser.
It's a dusk laser lighter.
So Jenna's a bit of an arsonist.
She does control her urges just by sitting in a dark room by herself
and lighting lighters and staring at the flame.
But this will never run out because it's actually like electricity.
You charge it.
Rather than being a little flame on the end,
it's like a little electrical current
and then you just recharge it when it runs out.
Oh, that's cool.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hold up the microphone. Everyone quiet. I want to hear the out. Oh, that's cool. It's like that in a taser. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Everyone quiet.
I want to hear the noise.
One, two, three.
Oh!
Get up!
Jesus!
He's got Georgie's eyebrows.
They need a wax, so it's fine.
It's well needed.
She was way too comfortable with that flamethrower sound effect.
She's like, I know the difference.
I've got both.
Happy birthday, Janet.
We love you.
Here's your...
Can you actually light it up?
I want to see if this thing works.
Wait, wait, wait.
She's got a bloody minx fur coat on.
She might light it up.
Oh, my God.
Okay, go, go, go, go.
Crank her mic.
It's actually terrifying.
Okay, hold on.
Your mic's right up.
Oh, my God.
That's like a little mini taser.
Yes, I know.
You can put that in your purse and if you've got a max ventilator at night, you're safe.
It actually looks like...
I've actually tased someone with one of them before.
You have not.
Yeah, my ex used to work at, well still does work at Dusk and she would tase people with
it.
You're kidding.
I'm not joking.
That's amazing.
Do you want to try it on me?
Yes.
Do it.
No, that's a bit weird, isn't it?
No, do it.
No, we can't just go electrocuting each other.
No, we better not electrocute each other.
You're very right.
Now, Georgie, have you tried your own cookies here?
Because I think they're outstanding.
I literally just put a video of myself eating a cookie on my Snapchat.
And I was like, I just tried one for the first time.
And like, guys, I get the hype.
I get why you're going out.
I'm great.
I'm really good.
Literally, all my friends go, can you make me something?
Like, can you make me something? Can you make me something?
Can you make me something?
And I'm like, okay, I don't get it.
They're a cookie.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a cookie.
No, guys, this is the best cookie I've ever had in my life.
Definitely.
Thank you so much.
And I'm like a Southern Hemisphere Santa Claus.
I eat a lot of fucking cookie.
Same.
Jenna, we also have a card for you.
We'll open it later in the show.
We don't want to get bogged down.
It's not your fucking death day or anything.
I've got a cup of tea here.
I'm going to try the cookie with that.
Oh, dunk it.
Oh, it's soft.
Is it?
Let me try it too.
You're joking.
Hold on, I've got one.
Let me try it too.
Did you dip it in or will it melt off?
Yeah, I dipped it in.
No, I'm not going to dip it in in case it snaps.
What else did you think I would have done?
Sipped it, then put it in your mouth.
It's a safe bet.
Oh!
I do that with an arrowroot.
Sometimes I put a biscuit in my mouth and then steep it in my mouth.
I sip a tea and then just sip.
Like, let it seep.
Really?
Yeah.
Try it.
No, I'm quite happy with my method at the moment.
Anyway, as we chow down on cookies, what else have we got coming up on the show today?
Oh!
Okay!
They actually are so good.
I'm not just saying that.
It's awesome.
Put it up on Instagram.
You can follow.
Coming up on the show
We mentioned it last week
You've got a bone to pick
With a friend of the show
Close friend of yours
Alright Hay
Oh yeah that's right
He's done something
Is Jenna
Stop playing with the lighter Jenna
I thought there was a rattlesnake
At my feet
Jesus Christ
Yeah so Alright Hay
Alright Hay
If you don't know him by name
I'm pretty sure most people would have seen a video of his
at some point in their life.
He's all over Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.
But he's posted a TikTok that I was not happy with.
Not impressed at all.
Pissed you off.
We're going to call him up later and I'll let him know.
We'll get to the bottom of it.
Also, we start the show the same way every week
with an Is It Just Me?
It's something we've noticed,
something we hate or appreciate.
We call them idjams.
It confuses people, but fucking get with the program.
Yeah, I-I-J-M is idjam.
I-I-J-M stands for Is It Just Me?
Anyway, we both start the show with one,
and I think I went first, so you can start us off, Mitch.
I'm just going to keep eating this cookie, but sure, all right.
Let's do it.
Bradley, do your thing.
Is it just me? Shut up, Bradley! Sorry, sorry, it. Bradley, do your thing. Is it just me?
Shut up, Bradley!
Shut up!
Sorry, mate.
I forgot something.
Jen, I've done something very nice for you.
You know, I've got my little black book.
It's a notes section on my iPad.
It's yellow.
It's not black.
All my celeb contacts from my night show, a kiss.
Who's your favourite celebrity of all time?
Brie Larson.
From The Room? It's from Room, not The Room
Sorry, Room, with Jason Tremblay
Jacob Tremblay
Jacob Tremblay
Did you get Brie Larson, did you?
Well, I couldn't get Brie Larson because I think she was ill
She might have COVID or something
But I did get your second biggest favourite celeb
They've recorded something for you
Who?
Roll it
Hi, this is Darryl Braithwaite here
Wanting to say happy birthday
To Groundkeeper Jenna
I assume your name is Ground
That's a really nice name
Anyway happy birthday from
Darryl of Caulfield
Darryl and Caulfield
I don't know why
Because he realises that his name actually carries quite a bit of recognition.
Yeah, I don't know.
Why would he say Daryl from Caulfield instead of Daryl Braithwaite?
Lady Gaga, Los Angeles.
He says Stephanie from New York.
Yeah.
Anyway, we know you're a massive fan.
Yeah.
And I just got him to do that for you.
That's lovely.
Yep.
I thought you'd be more excited.
She was more excited by the flames.
Yeah, I know.
Can I play with my taser again? Yes, give it a go. Take it away, Bradley. Thanks for coming'd be more excited. She was more excited by the flames. Yeah, I know. Can I play with my taser again?
Yes, give it a go.
Take it away, Bradley.
Thanks for coming in, Georgie.
Yeah, see you, Georgie.
Is it just me or?
Are you so fine with people not touching you while social distancing?
No.
I'm a toucher.
Are you?
You know I'm a toucher. I'll right you know i'm a touch i'll hug anyone
i don't think we really hug but anyway actually have we ever hugged don't think so should i do it
no dumb idea look it's not that i'm it's not that i'm not a hugger right like i i don't mind
a hug yeah everyone loves a hug but what i don't miss is the anxiety i get of not knowing whether to go in for the hug or not
because there's nothing worse than misreading it and they're like why is this person hugging me
so like the fact that it's just a general rule now that we don't have to hug people it's been
such a nice relief that i don't have to worry about that yeah and now that restrictions are
starting to ease again i'm like oh bloody hell yeah like i never realized until recently when
people started to hug again i was like oh god i've really missed not having that pressure
yeah that was your ideal world social isolation yeah exactly i mean no but if people go in for
the hug with me i'm like okay great they've made the call yeah i just hate being the one to make
the call yeah like when i met kyle sandalyn's now ex-girlfriend imogen the first time yeah i went
in for the hug and like she wasn't weird about it.
Like, she's super chill.
She's fine.
But Pete, who works on the show as well, he was like,
that was awkward.
And, like, obviously I'm an awkward person, so by nature,
a hug for me is going to be an awkward hug.
But I was just like, shut up, Peter.
Now I am extra anxious about it.
I literally thought about it for weeks after.
I was like, oh, when I hugged Imogen, should I have done that?
I just hate being the instigator of a hug yeah and getting it wrong or worse when you don't go into the hug and
it's kind of you linger like see ya yeah bye bye do we have to hug or not you know I see I've only
I'm a hugger I hug anyone and everyone I love a hug I'm just like very that person really yeah
yeah of course I hug everyone well like I just I'm surprised by this because we've never hugged,
so I've never seen that side of you.
But, Jenna, you know that I hug heaps of people.
We've hugged.
Have you?
Jenna and I have hugged.
Yeah.
I think a couple of times.
I've had one awkward hug that I can distinctly remember that stands out.
Who?
It was with Alicia Keys.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
It was so horrific.
And I think she just pooed.
You know when you just poo, you're kind of a bit sensitive, right?
Yeah, you were talking about this on the show where you were like,
she was gone for a while.
It must have been a shit.
She might not have done an Alicia Keys poo,
but she definitely did an Alicia Keys wee or something.
Right.
Because I was in her hotel room.
Alicia Peas.
Yeah, Alicia Peas, her debut single.
Number two, track number two.
She went into her bathroom, and i was sitting in the living room
waiting for a good 10 minutes anyway so she came back out hey baby hey baby sat down on the chair
and then i'm like alicia how are you my arms were thrown out and then she went good baby and did
this like just gave me her cheek to kiss basically Basically kissing her fucking inner ear. But her hands were like stuck by her side.
Full sardine in a can.
Wow.
Hey, baby.
Like a 2B lead pencil.
Just straight as a nail.
So you're just there like Jesus on a cross.
Yeah.
And she did not reciprocate.
That's so funny.
Sweating, extremely nervous.
I just had an In-N-Out burger, so my lips were greasy.
Yeah, wow.
That's my one awkward hug.
But no, I kind of miss it, to be honest.
Are you the one that instigates it?
The hug every time. You are? Yeah. I always i always go hey i always put my arms out okay well it's funny that you mentioned that because i felt a little bit better about my awkwardness surrounding the hugs
after i did this quiz that one of my friends sent me it was like take the love language quiz
and so it learns about how you a show love and also b how you prefer to receive it yeah and i
my love language is um acts of service and like gestures yeah so when i read that i was like oh
that makes sense because when i had my hand injury one of my friends came over and like helped me
fold my washing because i couldn't do that it was too painful and they made dinner for me. I literally cried. I was like,
oh my God, I feel so loved.
And then I was like, yeah, that is my love language.
So I've got the quiz here, actually.
I was going to see what yours is, but I'm sensing you're just a bit
of a fiddler. Well, that's true. Don't say
that. I could be used against being used to cum.
Let me do the test.
Okay, well, Jenna, I'll send you the link
so you can do it along too. I want to know your answers
as well. So if anyone wants can do it along too. I want to know your answers as well. All right.
So if anyone wants to do it, you just look up scienceofpeople.com and then love language quizzes, Google it, you'll be right.
It's by Dr. Gary Chapman, apparently.
Okay, so let's begin.
I feel loved when?
I feel loved when is the first question, multiple choice.
I get a loving hug or embrace from someone I care about.
People show me they're
thinking about me through gifts. People do things to help me. People want to spend time
with me. People say nice things to me. I'm thinking that's you.
People say nice things to me.
Yeah, you love a good compliment.
Yeah, I do.
So you want to go that answer?
Yeah, lock it in.
Okay.
Oh, no.
Why did you do that sound effect that's a tick for like getting something
correct okay well then should i make it dramatic no it's fine to not have a sound effect when you
are celebrating your birthday jenna how fitting which of the following sounds best to you
i want everyone in my life to write me a special card a birthday gift especially picked out for me God, imagine.
That's you.
Not for a week.
I'd feel bad.
No one needs to buy me anything.
I just want to spend time with the people I care about.
I think that was my answer.
That's me, actually.
Yeah?
Yeah, that is.
You don't want to be bought anything?
I love it, but I'd much rather have all the people that I love.
Okay.
My ideal day is spending leisurely time with family and friends.
That's you.
Getting things done or doing a special project.
Having a long, deep conversation with someone I care about.
Getting a massage or going shopping.
What's with the massage?
Why does that keep coming up?
That keeps popping up.
Also, that's kind of creepy.
Epstein loved a massage.
We know how that ended for him.
Oh, yeah.
The first one.
Spending time with family and friends.
Look at it!
All right, done.
Stop with the...
Sorry.
No.
Why are you doing this intense thing?
Like, no one's winning money.
There's nothing on the line here.
But it's finding out your love language.
I just want it to be like, who wants to be a millionaire?
Do you have any love-themed music?
I can find some here.
Okay.
I show I appreciate someone by
giving them a high five, fist bump or hug.
You claim to be a hugger, so it could be.
Spending the afternoon with them.
Doing something nice for them.
Saying nice things to them or buying a token
of appreciation. How do you
appreciate someone or show them you appreciate them?
I buy them something nice.
You buy them something nice. I'd be more inclined to go
you know what, they said they wanted this when they last spoke to them.
I'll get them that.
That'll cheer them up.
Okay.
All right.
So buy nice things.
When I have a bad day, the thing that would help me the most is a big hug, commiserating
and talking it through, having time with loved ones or friends, having someone make me dinner,
treating myself to that special item I've always wanted.
That.
I'll treat myself.
Every time you have a bad day. Oh, God. treat yourself a lot oh here we go oh my god this is
actually that should be what you do when we reveal your love language
fucking hell sorry the timing of a heart attack would you like to get a copy of my oh wait this
is him plugging his book no thanks gary get a copy of my... Oh, wait, this is him plugging his book. No, thanks, Gary.
Get a copy of Gary's best-selling novel.
Okay, we have the result.
Okay.
According to Science of People,
your love language is quality time.
Quality time is about spending time together,
enjoying each other's company.
Yeah, thanks, Gary, for mansplaining that to me.
You can read more about it in Chapter 7.
Shut up!
People who need quality time crave alone time with their loved one and want to catch up with them by having time alone where they can talk and bond.
Yeah, that's very true.
The fact that you're unavailable to all your friends proves that.
Not just hearing from them or writing to them.
You do not feel satisfied or happy unless you can be with the person or people you love.
Oh, disgusting.
No, I mean, with family, yes, but with friends, I can go 10 years without seeing someone.
Yeah, I know.
This is only half right.
What are the other options?
There's physical touch, so showing love through hugging, cuddling, being intimate, etc.
That's what you thought you were going to be.
Gifts, so it doesn't require large or extravagant expensive gifts.
It can be notes, CDs, flowers, or leaving a pastry.
Yeah, I think I prefer pastry.
Fuck you.
It's bigger money.
I think that's it.
I did the test wrong.
Because sometimes Hayden will leave a little note and then he's done it once and I'm like,
do it more.
That's what I like.
I think that's really sweet.
Right, okay.
Like my mum on Valentine's Day used to get us little Daryl-y hearts and put it in our
lunch boxes and say, love you, mum.
And I just remember thinking that made me feel so special.
Yeah.
See, I think that kind of falls under mine as well, acts of service.
It doesn't have to be an act of service, but if they're just doing something to be like,
oh, I thought of you.
I wanted to make your life a little bit easier
or make your day a bit brighter.
Oh, my God, I know.
That's my type.
I'll be like, Mitch, I've done this for the podcast.
You'll weep.
Yeah, literally go, thank you so much.
He does.
Oh, my God.
Anyway, acts of service is the other one.
And then words of affirmation.
People who need words of affirmation need to hear
from the people they love frequently and to feel loved.
See, I feel like that's more you.
Anyway, Jenna, you were doing the quiz over on your computer,
doing your own answers.
What did you get?
Yeah, I don't think it's right.
Yeah.
Why?
I just don't.
Why?
What does it say?
It says my love language is words of affirmation.
Yeah, stop!
Yeah, she certainly doesn't affirm us very much,
and we don't really.
Do we affirm you much?
No.
That's why she hates her job, because we never tell her how good she is.
I didn't think so. Jesus Christ.
Alright, we'll put the link up on
some sort of socials because, I mean,
I don't think that was that right. Just bloody Google it.
Love language quiz, Gary someone.
Good point. The science of people
is the website. Nice. Alright, ready
for my Is It Just Me? Yes. What have you got for us
this week? Okay, Bradley, you're on mic.
Hold on. He's hopeless. He's on this week? Okay, Bradley, you're on mic. Hold on.
He's hopeless.
He's on mic now.
One, two, there you go.
Is it just me or... Are you guys getting the weirdest Instagram sponsored posts lately?
Oh, like ads?
Yeah.
Yes.
Are you?
Yes.
Yesterday I got one for the New South Wales police.
Yeah.
And I was like, I haven't been looking up anything.
Today?
They do have some PR work to do.
The police don't think.
That is true.
Yeah, they definitely do.
I've got some weird ones today and I'll scroll up.
I normally get like, you know, fucking Baker's Delight,
two for one, you know, olive scrolls with cheese.
I'm like, brilliant.
That's my demo.
It'll be like some Nintendo Switch thing, which I'm obsessed with.
It'll be some, I don't know, some stupid comedy thing.
But today and the last few days, I got Hotels of North Korea.
Oh.
Sponsored.
You can't even go there.
That's my fucking point.
Hotels of Pyongyang, now available.
Link in bio to order.
Also, fun fact, you get a sponsored post every three posts now on Instagram.
Never noticed. I don't know if you look a sponsored post every three posts now on Instagram. Never noticed.
I don't know.
Let me look.
As in the feed.
In the feed.
I actually noticed it a lot when everyone was posting the black squares, which I did.
Oh, yeah.
We'll talk more on that later.
Dry July.
Ha!
Please.
Not the target demo.
Then I got, I went one, two, three.
Then I got Trito Kine.
Wages gone thanks to ASOS Premier delivery.
It's just a photo of this boy.
What? Just a normal
Instagram photo of a gay boy.
Not even gay. He's just smart.
It's a selfie. So did they put money behind
their own post? They sponsored it. Yeah. And I'm getting
it. Then I scroll down again and I get this.
Melissa Smith. And it's a photo of her with her
baby.
I think there's something going on there. Surely these people
aren't actually paying to boost their posts on Instagram
and it's just serving them to random people.
That's odd because I'm not getting that at all.
That's why I wanted to ask you, how does it work?
Can you put backing behind any post?
I mean, on Facebook it's a lot easier.
Some would argue that boosting a post on Facebook isn't overly effective.
But Instagram, I'm not that familiar with it.
The only ads I get on Instagram are like those, post on Facebook isn't overly effective. Yeah. But Instagram, I'm not that familiar with it.
The only ads I get on Instagram are like those, calm your anxiety with this game where you put the little ball in the hole.
Yes, I get that one.
Or you complete the maze.
All that shit.
Yeah, I've got the, I get this reoccurring one on TikTok and it's this guy talking to
this girl.
I think it's Japanese.
And she's like, someone is stalking your Insta.
And he's like, oh no, who?
You need Instraker to find out.
I get that constantly.
I think I've caught that.
Do either of you have the InstaTracker apps?
Or have you had?
I have had it, but I got rid of it because it gave me severe crippling depression.
Yeah, I don't want to know who's unfollowing me.
Of course I have it.
Do you?
Yeah, so I know who's unfollowed me, so I unfollow them.
Why does it bother you?
Because I don't want to follow someone who's not following me.
I agree.
I lost 10 followers on Sunday.
Really?
What did you do?
I don't know.
I just checked my followers app. And since I've had that. So you do have one? Yeah, I do have one. Did I lie? You said 10 followers on Sunday. Really? What did you do? I don't know. I just checked my followers app.
And since I've had that.
So you do have one?
Yeah, I do have one.
Did I lie?
You said, no, no.
I used to, but it's so damaging to the mental health.
So I got rid of it.
Oh, I forgot I have it.
You fucking liar.
You're crippling depression.
Oh, I'm fine.
429 followers lost since I got the app.
That's a fucking lot of people that have just gone.
Yeah, but you've probably gained some too.
Who cares about that shit?
Yeah, I have.
Ben Porter photo was the last person to unfollow me.
Well, guess what, Ben Porter?
I think you shot too close to the specimen.
You're a shit photographer.
There, I said it.
I think your theory that it's every third post might be wrong
because I literally can't find one.
What have I done right?
Really?
I've got this one, a pet safety car seat.
Send me the link, please.
I need one for my little dog.
Yeah, definitely.
I've got one every three posts.
Really?
Yep.
That's very weird.
Is that weird?
Yeah.
Look, ready?
One, two, three, sponsored.
What?
One, two, three, sponsored.
What the hell?
I don't have that at all.
Have I got something wrong?
I literally can't find any sponsored.
Oh, here we go.
Calm.
Are your thoughts racing at night?
Try calm.
It's literally just an animation of keys dangling.
That is calming.
That's beautiful.
Anyway, I think that might be a little bit tailored to me,
but anyway, I'm not mad about that.
I think so too.
Instagram, if you're listening, please, one,
get rid of the sponsored post, and two,
delete Mitch underscore Cheery
three underscores official.
It's got 13 followers in the cache. The bio
is free money.
I don't think it's appropriate.
Is it just me? A podcast by a
couple of Mitches. Listening to us
on Spotify? Hit follow
so you don't miss a second of this
bullshit. And if you don't listen
on Spotify and you listen on Apple, that's fine.
Because you've got an extra capability there.
You can leave us a review.
You can't do that on Spotify, which is ridiculous.
I don't actually know what you can and can't do on Spotify.
Neither do I.
Because I don't have it.
But yeah, we kept getting all these people being like, I listen on Spotify.
There's no subscribe button.
I was like, oh, fine.
I'll make one that says follow instead.
But anyway, if you're on Apple, leave us a review.
Write some nice words if you can think of any.
We cater for everyone. We actually have a review
coming in from, let me see if I can get this right,
Skazzy14. Oh, yes.
I don't know why I was struggling with that. Beautiful name.
I think that's a Christian name.
They commented, and I think we've had this person before.
They said, five stars.
I love you guys. I'm 11 and I love
to listen Going to Bed.
You are so funny and nice.
You should change the name of the show to Is It Just Me starring Jenna
and a couple of Mitches.
Please.
Jenna is better.
What?
Enter, enter, enter.
Mitch is better.
Enter, enter, enter.
Nah, Jenna is better.
She's so funny and innocent.
Oh, I love it.
Innocent.
She's literally over there with a mini taser for her own enjoyment.
She's got nails
that could fucking cut through a steel beam i was born with them sure you were anyway i i do recall
us getting a review once before that went they went out of their way to point out that they were
11 yeah and we read it out maybe this person's trolling that i'm 11 but you can't write oh
maybe they are yeah that see that's a very funny in joke skazzy 14 if that's If they actually are 11, that's alarming if we've got multiple 11-year-olds listening
because I don't think we're appropriate.
Hold on.
2014?
No, that would make them six.
Sorry, I thought maybe that was the year they were born and maybe that would make them
11.
I thought maybe the maths had add up.
What do you mean that would make them six?
Would that even make them six?
No, it wouldn't.
No, it would make them six.
Yeah, 20 to 14, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, yeah.
Is it?
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Yeah, six.
Quick maths.
Jeez, 2014 doesn't feel that long ago at all.
2014?
I was in fucking studying theatre school doing The Tempest.
Really?
On Pitt Street.
What's The Tempest?
Shakespeare.
Shakespeare.
Probably one of his worst.
I had to do Othello too, but we adapted it to a modern...
You do it in theatre school?
Well, no, you don't.
No.
I can't say that to you too.
Yes, I do.
NIDA.
Yeah.
Of course, I can tell.
You just stand like a NIDA grad.
And they were like, we're doing Othello, which is like traditional Shakespeare.
And like, but in a modern setting.
I was like, okay.
They're like, we're in a Starbucks.
It was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.
But was it the same language?
Like you still spoke really posh?
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah.
We had to do that too.
That's weird.
But you try and modern it up.
With Hamlet, but we were on Australian Idol,
so the three witches.
What the fuck?
Were the judges?
Yeah.
That's brilliant.
That's so weird.
I knew I should have gone to NIDA.
But if you're going to change the setting,
shouldn't you change the language being used?
No, you can't because that's blasphemy.
You can't change Shakespeare.
It's pretty blasphemous to make it at Starbucks as well
and pretending like one of the witches is Marsha Hines.
That's stupid.
That's just bloody stupid. Let's do Harry Potter but instead
we're in a submarine.
That's good.
Let's do Twilight but instead we're all dogs.
Like, no. Let's do Titanic
except it's a car that crashes.
High school musical except
it's nursing home musical.
Gabriella!
Get off your wheelchair.
May I have this dance?
Grease but set in a prison.
That's horrific.
Happy Gilmore but instead of playing golf he plays bingo.
Happy feet except it's all about sign language.
Happy feet, except it's all about sign language.
What?
I'm trying now to think of a movie that just completely changes once you alter the setting.
Yeah, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but they're in Antarctica.
The Hunger Games, but instead of fighting to the death,
they're just sorting it out over an adult discussion.
That's really annoying.
Stop whistling, please.
Anyway, I think that's enough of that.
Are we done?
No one's got any others?
I'll think of one when I'm lying in bed tonight
and I'll kick myself.
It'll be hilarious and no one will laugh.
Anyway, we should move on because I have a phone call to make.
I'm excited for this.
All right.
Yes, you might have heard that theme music
at the end of his YouTube videos,
Alright Hey.
I don't know if he'd call himself a YouTuber these days.
That's kind of the job title I have cemented with his brain in my mind, right?
But I don't know what he'd be these days.
He's kind of across everything.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok.
Yeah, sure.
Influencer, sure.
And in fact, it was one of his TikToks, like I mentioned,
that I have a bone to pick with him about.
So we're going to dial him up now, Mitchell.
Here we go.
Darling, all right.
Hey.
Comma.
Here we go.
I've told him that we're calling.
He doesn't know what about.
Right.
Hello.
Hi, darling.
It's me.
Hi, Jo.
How are you?
No, so good.
Thanks for coming on.
That's all right.
I'm here too, by the way.
Yeah, Mitch and Jenna are here as well.
And I'm here.
Hi, everyone.
How are you? Yeah, we're actually, we're recording, by the way. Yeah, Mitch and Jenna are here as well. And I'm here. Hi, everyone. How are you?
Yeah, we're actually recording, by the way.
So, yeah, don't say anything dumb.
You're already on.
He's going to dial you up.
He has no idea what he's calling for, does he?
Yeah, no.
So it's actually I'm not happy.
Why?
What, with me?
Yes.
You're in the doghouse, all right.
Is that his first name?
Well, what's happened?
You've posted a TikTok that I was highly offended by.
Oh, no, which one?
I've got it here.
I'm going to play it for you, all right?
You guys haven't heard it either, Mitch and Jenna.
No, it's the first time hearing it.
First time.
You'll know as soon as you hear it why I'm upset.
Okay.
Here it is.
If you are from Australia,
we need to have an open discussion right now about Red Rooster.
Like, how are they still in business? business seriously which one of you works there you've got to tell us like
what are you doing to make money how are you making money because your chicken is
you've done fucked up so it kind of cut off at the end there but if it wasn't clear
he was going like a vomit sound effect to imply that their chicken is not
the most glorious thing in the world.
What the fuck?
All right.
Hey.
Is it not?
Like, it's honestly rain.
No, no.
The thing is, I've been here before.
I shared your opinion when this show started and I didn't really see the love of Red Rooster,
but I made the error and it really pissed Mitch off.
So I would like to just draw attention to one thing.
Firstly, what am I wearing, Jenna?
What can you see right now?
I'm going to hold my leg up.
Red Rooster sock.
Exactly.
Mitchell, what is on the desk in front of you?
A fresh pair of Red Rooster socks sent to us because of the amount of love we have for
Red Rooster.
Well, I do specifically.
Why didn't they send me one?
I've got plenty if you want some.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, can I?
So I just want to know, what's your beef with Red Rooster Bra?
Because I feel like they've really lifted their game recently.
Like, they're good shit.
I wouldn't know because, honestly, I don't pay them any attention just like the rest of Australia.
Oh, he's digging it.
I'm sorry.
When I literally drive past every Red Rooster, there's never, ever, ever a customer in sight.
I used to work at McDonald's.
Before I was Australia's biggest glamazon, I was, you know, in the fast food industry.
And we were actually right next to a Red Rooster.
And we don't think we saw one customer in the years that I worked there.
We thought, how are they still in business?
Like, what are they doing?
There's got to be something going on there.
Do you know what they've done?
They were ahead of their time. They started doing Red Rooster delivery before everyone
got on board with the Uber Eats and Maccas was easily accessible. So there would have been
cars filled with morons lined up around the street trying to get Maccas. But people
who shop at Red Rooster, they're smart. They were sitting at home getting it delivered. You see,
that's the thing. No, see, I think that's speculation.
You've got no proof of that.
I'm sorry.
I'm not happy with that as an argument.
Listen.
You can bring me statistics from Red Rooster.
This is how many people delivered.
This is how we stayed in business. I mean, if you go and check the comments of that TikTok,
you can see that Australia, most of Australia agrees with me.
There's about three comments on there, one from you, Mitchell,
and the rest of them are like, it's got to be a scam.
What's going on?
Like, how are they making money?
And I remember as a child, I think it all went down to them.
You know what?
I actually know what it is.
It all went down to them when they stopped serving the blue pop tops
with their kids' meals.
Oh, I know exactly what you mean.
I know. Yeah. tops with their kids meals oh i know exactly what you mean i i know yeah and from that moment
forward kids everywhere went no we're going to masters because they've got more range and they
don't have the cool drinks anymore they only have orange juice and apple juice i would want that
when i can go and get a sprite and i think that that generation now less red rooster in the dark
and you know what it's probably just because you were from Bogangate and you didn't realise it.
Honestly, in the country, Red Rooster is considered on par
with all the other fast food.
Like KFC, Macca's and Red Rooster are the same
in terms of like hierarchy.
It's Hungry Jack's that's down low.
It's only when I moved to the city that I realised
there's some sort of snobbery about it.
But here's the thing, we're adults now.
Forget your fucking blue popper, it. But here's the thing, we're adults now. Forget your fucking blue
popper, honey, because here's the thing.
I recently took one of my KFC loving
friends to Red Rooster and they
had it and they said, I feel
less disgusting after eating this.
You know how when you have KFC you feel all greasy
and your paws are fucked and you feel
guilty? There's no guilt
with Red Rooster. There's something about it
that just feels cleaner, you know? Yeah yeah what's funny is i absolutely agree with the kfc thing i feel like you get so hyped
up for kfc and you're like yes i'm gonna have kfc like this is something that i never really
have very often but when i have kfc i'm like here we go girl's wrong come on let's call
kitten caboodle and then you have it and you go, oh, wish I went to Macca's.
Yeah, I do regret it.
Are you being paid by Macca's?
There's a lot of Macca's praise.
I was paid by Macca's for many years, but then I got a real job.
Right.
We were actually just saying before we got you on the phone,
I was about to introduce you as a YouTuber.
All right, hey.
But then I'm like, that's probably not his main game anymore.
Like, what would you call yourself?
No way. Just the Glamazon, Giles.
Glamazon, fair enough.
I like that.
You DJ, you obviously post lots of videos everywhere.
Drag queen, exactly.
So I think Glamazon just sums it up, right?
I think you know that I have never wanted to be put in a box.
And so my career has literally been every aspect
of the entertainment industry that you can think of.
I've got my comedy shows coming up.
I'm apparently a comedian now.
Oh, yeah, you had to postpone them, right?
I know, because of Miss Rona.
She's come into the building and stolen all the VIP tickets.
Fuck that.
Well, she has.
I know.
Well, glamazon.
I'm hoping to see a few of you there.
Are you going to come along to the show?
I was planning to.
I remember I was going to buy tickets with one of my friends
and then the whole Rona thing happened.
So when is it happening now?
Well, actually, excuse me,
the show's actually sold out before Rona happened.
But, yes, okay, I'll give you that.
I wanted to see Jenna there, though,
because I need to see these cat claws in real life.
Yes.
No.
I will be there.
If you haven't booked security yet, you can hire Jenna.
She's brilliant.
She stands at the door and scratch all the late comers.
Do you have a new date for the shows?
We do, but I'm just not announcing that just yet.
We don't know whether we're going to have a second wave or anything like that.
We do have a date locked in.
They're going to go ahead if everything goes according to plan.
Well, why don't we, because Red Rooster, big fans of this show,
they've actually sent us a couple of gift cards, right?
We have some lying around.
Yeah, we've got vouchers to give away.
Why don't we send one all right Hayes way and we get him to-
Review it on his story.
Have a review.
And he doesn't have to, if you want it to be public, you can make it public or you can
make a follow up TikTok.
I'm sure the haters will love it.
Eating a half chicken roll.
Is that what it's called?
Quarter chicken roll?
No.
Half chicken roll?
It's a Rooster roll.
Rooster roll.
Eating a Rooster roll. We'll pay for it.
You don't have to pay for a cent.
Would you eat it and would you do an official review?
Joel, you had me at free too.
Okay, Sam.
Now look at that.
It's the best thing in the world as far as I'm concerned
if I'm getting it for free.
Now, Matt
and I, that's his real name, we went to
Katy Perry's Witness Tour. So I know for a fact you are a sucker for an underdog.
So I'm thinking you will froth Red Roosa and you, like me,
will be telling everyone it's fucking underrated.
You guys don't know what you're missing out on.
Okay, look, I'm going to have to turn this into a whole Facebook video.
Like it's going to be a whole production for this.
But you give me that voucher, I'm going to go document my entire experience
and I'll come back to you ASAP with the results.
That's what will make you happy.
All I want to add is you need to try the pineapple fritter.
Trust me, I'm a big boy.
Oh, my God.
That will change your life.
Just get one with your chicken.
All right, I'll do it then.
You give me whatever you want me to try that you think will change my mind
and I will order it.
I'll come with you, babe.
Because we used to do YouTube collabs back in the day.
I'll go check out Part 2 on his channel, all that shit.
So it's been a while.
We'll have to dust off the old vlogging camera.
Yeah, absolutely.
I don't even know where mine is.
Jenna and I can just fucking sit at home.
Yeah, you guys can come.
Thanks for the fucking invite.
I saw a post of yours, Matt, the other day where you were like,
three years ago I hit 80,000 subscribers on YouTube
and then you were like, and now I've got 79,000.
Thanks for unsubscribing, you fucks.
Do you think that YouTube's dead?
I think it's dead for certain people.
I think it's booming for others.
I think that there are a lot of us who have been absolutely left in the dust when it
comes to YouTube, but there are people absolutely killing it. I think they're really focusing on
making it a kid-friendly platform to kind of compete with Netflix kids. And so that's kind
of the route they're going down and they want it to be a lot like cleaner. And so for me,
it was hard to, you know, because I got to look at it from a job perspective. If that's not paying
my bills, I can't afford to make YouTube videos anymore.
Especially if you're trying to make them really, like, kid-friendly.
Every time I upload something now for my work, it makes you tick all these specifics.
It's like, oh, does this contain light profanities?
Is it suitable for children?
You have to go through all these things that you wouldn't have to do on any other platform.
And, you know, as a creator and you want creative control of everything,
you don't want to be limited to their rules and sort of things like that. So I just decided to say, you know
what? No more YouTube. Let's go to Facebook. Facebook's awesome. It's so much easier for
more people to see my things. It's so much easier for people to enjoy the content. And
yeah, it's been the best decision I've made. So you can find me on Facebook now,
everyone listening. Thank you. Yeah, Go search Rido G'day.
Alright, hey, whatever works for you.
You're also on TikTok, of course. That's where I saw the
offensive one. Can I just ask, how the fuck
did you get a blue tick? Because no offence, I've got more
followers than you.
You know what's funny is I don't actually
know. One day I just woke up and
it was ticked blue and I think
it comes down to the fact that TikTok and Instagram
are competing and I think I comes down to the fact that TikTok and Instagram are competing.
And I think I've worked out a little scam with TikTok.
And it's if you have followers on other platforms
and you link it to your TikTok, TikTok actually recognises that
and will bump you up in the algorithm.
I think that's my own opinion.
Because I've grown, I just hit 50K and I've been on it a hot second
and that's more than my Instagram now.
And I think that TikTok player is saying, you know, use our platform instead of the
other ones that we're communicating.
So do you not have the blue tick on Instagram?
No.
You know what?
I've been in cahoots with them for so long trying to get it.
And I eventually, it's actually good having the uh blue tick on TikTok
uh because I actually went to Instagram and said hi motherfuckers look what they did
they got it done for me quick smart I didn't even have to ask um it's just with Instagram though
it's just because I don't use my real name on social media I go by all right hey and obviously
that all right hey is not on my driver's licence. Oh, but like, hello, does Lady Gaga have like Stephanie on her Instagram?
There's a blue tick there.
I've given them all these arguments and more love.
They're not budging.
So I've just accepted the fact that I won't be having a blue tick on Instagram.
Spewing.
Well, anyway, Alright Hay is where you can stalk him, like I mentioned.
Once Miss Rona has well and truly fucked off, we'll have our Red Brewster feed and we'll
have to get you in the studio as well.
Yes.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm excited to be back.
I haven't been to the new studio yet.
It looks very lush.
Oh, it's very fancy.
You'll love it.
Yeah, right up my alley.
Yeah.
All right, darling, we'll catch you soon.
All right.
Love you and leave the girls.
Bye.
All right.
I forgive, but I never forget.
Don't ever bag Red Brewster again.
Bye-bye.
Bye. You didn't even remember it's never forget. Don't ever bag Red Reef through again. Bye-bye. Bye.
You didn't even remember it's their happy birthday, Jenna.
So rude.
Yeah, what a bastard.
I mean, we ended nicely, but he's a real fuckstick, that one.
Just joking.
You've definitely hung up, right?
Yeah.
Oh, shit, he's still there.
No, he's right.
He was good.
All right, well, we have to send him out that voucher.
Yeah, we'll make it happen.
Don't you worry.
Well, what a pleasure of a show.
Sort of running a bit over time.
It was a big one.
Thank you to Georgie.
What's her hashtag again?
It's at getbakedwithgeorgie on Instagram.
There's also a Facebook page as well.
Lovely.
Give her a follow.
Give her a like.
Can you subscribe?
She might have a YouTube channel making the cookies.
Who knows?
Anyway.
She probably would have mentioned it.
I think these things are okay to say as thoughts, Dallin.
Just like... Tight wrap? Yeah. All right. No, it doesn are okay to say as thoughts, Dallin. Yeah. Just like...
Tight wrap?
Yeah.
All right.
No, it doesn't need to be tight wrap.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Thank you.
We love you.
We've given you a card.
Open that in your own time.
I'm having another cookie.
Sorry.
I know they're yours, but fuck.
Yeah, fucking chuck me one.
I'll have one.
Okay.
We'll see you back next week.
Not quite sure what's happening.
Mitch, what do we have on?
Don't know.
Who knows?
It'll probably be some sort of celeb guest or some super international star.
We're going to end it with a good friend of the show.
Take it away, Darren.
Hi, this is Darrell Braceway here,
wanting to say happy birthday to Groundkeeper Jenna.
I assume your name is Ground.
What?
That's a really nice name, Groundkeeper Jenna.
Is it?
Anyway, happy birthday from Darrell of Caulfield.
Where?
You assume wrong, Daz.
I assume your name's Grant.
Not even a good dad joke.
Anyway.
That was terrible.
All right, see you next week.
Thanks for listening, guys.
See ya.
Bye.
Welcome to ID Debrief.
Sorry, welcome to AD Debrief.
The bonus bit on the end where we aren't really required to focus.
That's why we call it that.
We have a debrief and we have, well, I have ADD,
so it's a good opportunity to just switch my brain off.
I don't have to bother trying to concentrate.
Now, and I'm undiagnosed.
I leant on the button.
I didn't even mean to press.
I leant on it with my elbow.
Live tweeting is open.
I think we're having some technical... Are we?
No.
Yeah, we are.
Fuck, these cookies are good.
Trent's saying we're having some technical difficulties, but you can tweet through the
show at any time and give us a call.
These fucking cookies.
I tell you what.
Look at them.
Sorry, this is not good content.
Terrible radio.
Thank God we're podcasting.
Jenna, we did give you a card earlier on.
Yeah.
So why don't you go ahead and open it?
Very rude.
You meant to open the card first.
You told me to wait.
Your love language is clearly being a cunt.
Joking.
Read it out.
The font says, On your 100th birthday, dance and enjoy.
And it's a cup of tea.
I actually asked Mitch to get 100 and something, but apparently birthday cards end at 100.
I've just Googled the world's oldest person, 122.
What a miserable 22 years where So they got no cards.
Yeah, fuck that.
What would have been some generic rubbish?
That's 100 years old.
That's ridiculous.
Anyway, Jenna here.
Would you want us to read the card out?
Yes, please.
So can you crank that old birthday music that we have?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm getting it now.
We went to a lot of effort to make this.
Here we go.
Lady Jenna.
How fares thee sucheth?
Wishing thymest a most
quaint and blessed annual birth
festivities.
It is our fervent hope that thymest
enjoys a jolly good sponge
and a warm worm
and a warm bergamot
on thisth one hundredth eve.
Bestowing a god ye good morrow full of grace
thanks be to the church.
One necessaries are embarked.
Farewell.
Adieu.
Mitch and Mitcheth.
Absolutely beautiful.
What beautiful.
There you go.
We actually have never got to the end of this song.
So this recording was from your birthday.
What year?
Yesteryear.
What was it, 17, Jenna?
1722.
This is a live recording, actually.
You were on the stage, they're all waving.
Duke was there.
You were killed.
It was horrific.
That's the audio.
Now, more than ever, you need to delete the gun sound effect.
Sorry.
Delete it right now.
I will.
It's not funny.
I shouldn't be playing gunshot sound effects.
Everything that's going on in the world. Well, yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Should have picked up on it right now. I will. It's not funny. I shouldn't be playing gunshot sound effects. Everything that's going on in the world.
Well, yeah, that's what I meant.
Yeah.
Oh, there you go.
Should have picked up on it.
Yeah.
Actually, we should talk about that because that was not a joke in reference to that at
all.
But there's a lot happening right around the world and it's sort of affecting Australia
now, which I think is great.
I think it's really good.
Well, it's funny because you say it's affecting Australia now but it's actually always been
Yes
So let's just say
for instance
someone is listening
to this podcast
in like two years time
can you just give context
of where we're at
in terms of world news
right now
Well obviously
the horrendous killing
of George Floyd
am I getting that right
Yes
Yeah George Floyd
in Minnesota
and he was killed
by a white police officer.
And now we're up to like day six of riots and peaceful protests.
I should probably say they're not riots.
Yes.
It sparked a lot of, we won't put up with this shit anymore.
And rightly so.
And he is an idjim on the fly.
Is it just me?
Or did you feel very guilty for being unaware of the situation in Australia?
Yeah, I did.
Because it's kind of what happened in the u.s
or what is happening in the u.s i should say yeah has everyone a lot of media in australia it's been
a good opportunity to be like oh by the way this has been happening to indigenous australians for
a long time unfair treatment by police officers i've been yeah consuming a lot of media around
it because i was just like holy shit i had like well i mean i knew i think everyone kind of knew
but we just never it was not really spoken about yeah here's the thing
though and it's hard and who are we three white very privileged young people i know to talk on
the topic do you know what hold on i'm gonna find um friend of the show nick kelly he put something
on twitter that kind of really summed up like what my thoughts have been recently yeah because
i know
that you do on the fly is it just me or do you just not know what to do to help like you feel
like you should do something but it's like is it my place what am i what do i do i also feel like
there's a lot of pent-up guilt from me but i haven't done enough but no one wants to hear
about my bloody white guilt it's not my time to vent and get it off my chest i think i think also
it's important that we don't stop talking about this once it stops
trending yeah it's an issue that is ongoing yeah and has to be addressed and acknowledged i agree
and it's not just for the likes and all that yeah it's in like a systemic issue that needs changing
yeah so nick wrote i feel so exceptionally helpless.
My natural instinct is to listen actively, to learn,
to amplify black voices, shut the fuck up and learn.
But it's not enough.
All I want to do is my bit, but I don't know what is the most effective and meaningful contribution I can make.
I've donated.
I'm learning and sharing what I learn,
but I'm so conscious of drowning out black voices
and the people we should be learning from and acting on the learnings.
And then I feel so fucking selfish for even thinking all this because it's not about me.
I just want to contribute meaningfully and I want to learn so much.
I just hope my tiny contribution is meaningful, which is kind of where I'm at.
I'm like, oh, like, I don't just want to post a bloody black square on my Instagram.
I've donated and I'm planning to attend the protest in Sydney on Saturday for Black Lives Matter.
But, yeah, I'm just like, is that enough?
I just feel like.
I think it's all about also acknowledging that it's a problem.
Yeah, like I said, I wasn't aware of the extent of it.
A lot of people shy away and get scared.
And I was definitely in that bucket for a while,
like especially in high school, especially living in the Shire,
which is so, so, it's so sheltered.
There's such a bubble and it's so white.
It's such old money.
And it really is a breeding ground for a lot of racism.
It's horrific to go to school in the Shire,
to do anything but straight and white.
Really it is.
And that is the way a lot of us are brought up. So I've had all this shame and guilt about talking about it but i think you're right you
have to and you have to keep talking about it we can't just do this episode on it and then you know
not talk about it until there's another killing you know yeah yeah i know you mean it's one of
those things where i'm like oh god i don't want to say the wrong thing i don't want to listen back
to this and be like oh i should have you know given out links to donate or something i don't want to listen back to this and be like, oh, I should have, you know, given out links to donate or something. Yeah, it's a tricky one.
Yeah.
But, you know, they've been saying amplify, amplify black voices is something people can
do to help.
I might actually post it on our Facebook because one of the Studio 10 panelists they've got
on there now is Narelda Jacobs.
She's Indigenous and also LGBT.
Is she?
Oh, I love that.
Indigenous and also LGBT.
Is she?
Oh, I love that.
So she did a big backstory on Studio 10 about lots of Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia.
And a lot of them are like unsolved.
And a lot of them have just been like, oh, well, not guilty.
Even though it's really sus.
I actually watched a documentary the other day.
It's called, what was it?
The Tall Man.
It was about Indigenous death in custody.
And I've not stopped thinking about it since
it's so full on
but yeah I might actually
share that on Facebook
Narelle Jacobs
talking on Studio 10
because that was
a good insight from her
well there was a
Royal Commission
into Indigenous deaths
in custody in Australia
like 1990
yeah 1991
1991
and it has only
gotten worse since then
there's been some
I'm going to get my facts wrong
but it's almost like
upwards of 500 deaths
since the inquest happened,
which is horrendous.
That's meant to stop those types of deaths.
And only two officers have been charged for all those deaths.
And I remember when I was living in Melbourne,
there was an Indigenous woman who was killed by the police on a tram.
She'd fallen asleep.
She'd been on a long journey.
Oh, I think I read about that recently.
And the police assumed, you know,
that she was drunk and disorderly and all that
when she was simply just sleeping.
And her daughter was actually on the project recently
talking about it.
And they asked her,
do you think this same treatment would have happened
if she was white?
And the daughter was like, absolutely not.
Can you Google that?
What's their name? Yeah, let me just get that up um of course not of course they wouldn't that's
the thing like we go out and like i'm not scared to walk through the like middle of the night at
midnight like on my own but people of color can be because they are just so much more inclined to be
you know involved in those kinds of things yeah i mean it's it's just weird because i went
to a boarding school in the country and there were lots of indigenous people at the school
and i never ever thought to ask them hey are you more frightened to walk down the street than i am
it's this it's yeah it's it's it feels shit that that thought never crossed my mind yeah i agree
anyway all we can do is continue to voice it and and continue to talk about it sorry i should say
and donate so i've donated to like four different charities the minnesota freedom fund
was the first one i donated to which is like paying for people who are being arrested in the
protests yeah the us it's paying for their bailout and then i can't remember the the young boy who
was like arrested the other day did you see that the indigenous australian the police officer yeah
i did that one too i donated oh my god. Oh, my God. Like, that was horrific.
Yeah.
And I hate that people are saying, oh, but did you hear the things that he was saying
to the police officer?
Yeah.
There's no excuse to physically abuse somebody.
Also, the police commissioner came out today and said that police officer was having a
bad day.
Yeah.
And that society doesn't want to see him sad.
But the stupid thing is, I had a bad day yesterday and, like, I just sucked and ate a fucking bag of chips. Like, I didn't push a see him sacked. But the stupid thing is I had a bad day yesterday
and I just sucked and had a fucking bag of chips.
I didn't push a child onto the ground.
That's not an excuse for any form of violence or brutality.
It's disgusting.
And that woman's name is Tenya Day.
Yeah.
She died 17 days after falling asleep on a train.
But yeah, it's horrific.
And she was doing absolutely nothing wrong.
Yeah.
And she didn't resist or anything.
She was just...
And apparently there were others on that tram who were sleeping as well,
white people, and they were just let off, which is pathetic.
Yeah, no good.
Anyway, look, it's hard.
And like I said, I still feel like I'm going to say something wrong
and I feel like I'm treading on eggshells,
but that shouldn't be the case.
We should be able to talk about it openly and freely.
I'm going to put that Narelda Jacobs thing from Studio 10
on our Facebook page, a couple of matches.
We'll put some links there as well for some of the places we've donated to
and other people as well.
But, yeah, I've still got this feeling where I'm like,
oh, is it enough?
Like I've donated, I'm going to share stuff.
I'm going to just, I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just feel like, oh, I literally don't know what to do.
No.
To try and help fix it.
But you know.
You know what?
I think the key is educating yourselves.
Not you.
Which I have been.
No, I agree.
I felt the same on Monday and I'm like, shit.
So I literally sat in bed when I finished work at midnight
and I was just reading and getting the stats,
which absolutely blew my mind.
Go watch The Tall Man.
It was a full on documentary.
Yeah, there's one on Netflix.
Oh, my God.
I don't know what it's called.
I'm going to get it quickly.
It's on Netflix and it blew my mind.
13th.
It's called The 13th on Netflix.
Go watch that.
What's it about?
It's about police brutality and the lives that...
Is it American?
Yeah.
Right, okay.
The black Americans face and the brutality that they face
and have faced for years.
A lot of people say slavery is over and great, we've done our thing.
We have not done our thing.
Slavery ending is not even a quarter of the lives of,
well, the history of black people.
Like, they've been enslaved the majority of their existence.
Horrific.
I've been putting a lot more of my focus on the Indigenous Australian perspective.
Because, yeah, obviously the stuff happening in America is all over TV, and rightfully
so.
Like, it's unfolding now, it's breaking news, whatever.
But yeah, I've been really surprised at the lack of coverage around Indigenous Australians.
Like I said, I'll share this, you don't have to attend things.
And another interesting fact I read today was that Indigenous Australians,
more Indigenous Australians are in custody than anywhere else in the world.
Yeah.
Really?
Yes.
And the thing is they make up, oh, I'm going to butcher it again,
but say 7% of the whole population, but they make up over 30% of the incarcerated population,
which is ridiculous.
Yep.
Shouldn't be that way.
Exactly.
And I think it's important to talk about these issues
and just acknowledge that it's happening.
Yeah.
I know that today, well, recently on Jonesy and Amanda,
Amanda did a video about it, just saying what she thought about it.
And there was a lot of backlash from the WSFM community.
It's mainly consisting of over 60s.
Wealthy white privileged people.
Yes.
And I think it's, you know, the constant all lives matter.
Oh, right.
Instead of black lives matter.
Yes.
And, you know, government payouts and all that.
And it's just so ingrained in their mind, this racism.
It's a real cultural issue in Australia.
That they don't even realise they're being racist.
That's just how they are.
But the thing is, it's about acknowledging that, you know,
they are but the thing is it's about acknowledging that you know they are disadvantaged and the only way to move forward is to look back at what we've done the stolen generation and
everything yeah and you know acknowledging that that happened i think it's all about acknowledgement
yeah i saw a thing the other day that was like um it's not about it's not like you know us three
have changed their minds and gone okay we won't be racist anymore because none of us were racist
or are racist.
But I saw a thing the other day that was like,
oh, it's not about being not racist.
It's about being anti-racist.
So like calling out people for inappropriate jokes and stuff.
And I'm like, that's a good point actually.
Because just like ignoring and being like, oh, well,
I didn't say the inappropriate joke, so it's fine.
Especially now, no longer enough so i guess that it's a good things have come of this i suppose
i agree i think it is and i think the big thing is ignorance plays a massive part if you don't
want to learn that's on you and stay ignorant but if you want to learn and educate yourself
i think you that's the most important thing sit down take some time out of your day
to educate yourselves on everything happening in your own country in your own suburb i mean that
poor boy that was attacked by the police happened in marupra which is 10 minutes from where i live
like i would not have known about that otherwise if it wasn't i grew up there exactly so do yourself
a favor and educate because it's it's what it's how we're going to get through this i think but
then again i don't know yeah yeah it's all about empathy yeah yes it's very we're going to get through this, I think. But then again, I don't know.
It's all about empathy.
Yeah, great. Yes.
It's very tricky to try and segue from this into something else.
Yeah, it really is.
We could just end the show here, I suppose.
We could.
I'm anything.
Jenna, there's a time and a place.
Oh, my God, that liner.
Oh, my God.
You're obsessed with it.
Maybe we need to link that too as well as the gun.
That's not, that's fine. People are setting shit on fire in the US, so. Oh, my God. You're obsessed with it. Maybe we need to link that too as well as the gun. That's not, that's fine.
People are setting shit on fire in the US, so.
Oh, okay.
Oh, my God, we were talking about tasers before as well.
Oh, damn it.
Oh, no.
Don't link everything I do back to that.
No, no, that was me, actually.
I think I brought that up at first.
No, I brought up that it's a taser.
It's actually a laser lighter.
Just suddenly everything feels inappropriate.
It really does.
We need to steer clear.
What can we do?
Oh, God. Mitchell, you're fat. I don't know. I really does. We need to stick. What can we do? Oh, God.
Mitchell, you're fat.
I don't know.
I'm trying to lighten the mood.
Discriminate against me.
I'm fine with it.
Bloody hell.
Well, we should end with a high.
I don't know.
What should we do?
I don't know.
The one thing I do know is that the phone lines are open, guys.
You can call through any time.
888-964-3920.
139. 6088-964-3920-139.
602-894.
I shouldn't have had that second cookie.
It's giving me that sugar headache.
Yeah, see, that's about my fourth that I'll get.
What?
My body's become quite accustomed to the sugar rush.
I had a Coke at 11 o'clock last night, and then by 2 a.m. I couldn't sleep.
I'm like, what have I done?
You had a fucking full-strength Coke, you idiot.
Coke doesn't really work for me.
Like in terms of making me up.
No.
Yeah.
I feel you.
I'm more of a, I'm a coffee.
I have to have three shots of coffee to really wake up in the morning.
God.
Yeah, I know.
Why?
Becoming a problem.
I think I've just like become accustomed to it.
I really need the coffee.
I mean, I technically have three shots, but they're all separate coffees.
So throughout the morning I have one when I get here at 5 30 and then i have another one i go up to the roof at like maybe 6 40
and then i'll go up again i'm up again at 8 30 i mean it's bloody on tap for free why wouldn't i
have as much coffee as i can get very true do you get tempted to have a like a smoke when you're up
there with like kj and no there's something i mean i confess, when I'm drunk at a club, I suddenly really crave them.
I go to the smokers area.
I'm like, I don't like everything.
And like, so, yeah, that's the only time I really crave them.
But daytime smoking, especially in summer, it makes me like feel ill when I see people smoking.
Because I don't think I've, I don't remember the last time I had a cigarette while sober.
Like, it's something about me being drunk that I'm like, oh yeah, that'd be complimenting it well.
But then I always regret it the next day because my throat's all croaky.
Yeah.
And my hair smells of cigarettes.
It's never, ever a good decision.
It always feels like a good idea at the time.
Then you scratch your face like three days later and your fingers smell of tobacco.
You're like, what the fuck?
Yeah, I always, always regret it.
But yeah, every time i see someone
especially in summer like if i'm driving home and i see someone you know on a 40 degree day
standing near a bus stop smoking i literally want to vomit because the idea of that is just so
fucked yeah i agree it heats the inside of your body up like yuck yeah and i seem to recall
sober cigarettes they give you like a weird head spin and you're like i'm like oh god i've got to
sit down but because i'm already drunk it's kind of my head spinning already so like you don't
feel it they yeah anyway i feel i don't recommend it put it that way no i feel like i can actually
feel my arteries just closing yeah cigarette when i'm sober when i'm drunk nothing i just like you
know yeah like a seagull apart but like when i'm sober can't do it jenna do you like smoking no
have you ever had one yes Yes. Yeah, okay.
Just checking.
Jenna and I went to Amsterdam, darling.
Where'd you smoke?
What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam.
I mean, that's really all there is to it.
We just smoked a lot of weed.
Fucking edibles.
Holy shit.
I remember me on a boat.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Did you get lost?
No. We just got on a boat.
What happened?
We tried...
We went to one of the coffee shops over there,
which is code for weed shop, and it's totally legal.
Yeah.
And we tried...
We got some edibles, had some brownies,
and we went back to the hotel room,
and we were convinced that we couldn't feel it.
We were like, oh, it's nothing.
Yeah.
And then I went to the bathroom, and I was like,
girls, I think I'm feeling it.
And then as I walked past, Jenna was lying down on her motel room bed.
And I walked past the end of the bed and accidentally knocked her foot.
And she just goes, oh.
Yeah, I'm definitely feeling it.
Because that touch would have just felt so different because of her brain.
Yeah.
And yeah, she was just like, oh.
And then we got up and then we were, like, wandering around Amsterdam,
just like, oh, my God, we are, like, off our tits.
And then we remembered that we'd booked this canal cruise.
And so we're just cooked as shit on this boat and there's all these couples dressed up having a lovely time.
We're just like, holy fuck.
And they're going through, like, Amsterdam history
and I'm sitting there like.
Oh, no.
There's some Italian man with a beret on.
He's got a striped shirt.
When the moon meets your eyes.
That's Paris.
My memories just go back to that bed.
And then we're on that boat.
Yeah. And then that's it.
And we were so devastated when we realized that we'd booked that canal cruise.
We're like, oh, fuck.
I forgot about that. Because we went and got the things first thing
in the morning we're like oh we have to go all day blazed jesus shit you poor fuckers i did that
when i lived in brooklyn in new york oh no don't say poor fuckers i loved it really jenna was it
was a new experience for her but i was like holy fuck oh see i did it alone the first time and it
was the worst decision on a rooftop in brooklyn in Brooklyn and I was on my rooftop and fell into the balcony ledge and it broke
it.
I had to tell the landlord.
Oh, yuck.
I tripped over gardening, but I just fell into the railing high.
An awful experience.
I also remember we went to the rooftop of the hotel and just stood there.
Yeah, we did.
I don't know what we did there, but-
We were like, wow, beautiful view.
Yeah, I feel you.
I remember looking out on Manhattan and just, like,
looking at the lights and they were, like, dancing.
But we were in a pop-up part of town.
Yeah.
And there was nothing there.
Look at the Holiday Inn express line.
Beautiful.
Do you know what I just realised, speaking of being cooked?
We've never listened to our podcast in half speed.
Another edition of the Apple podcast app that Spotify doesn't offer.
Actually, it could for all I know.
No, should we save this?
No.
We can do it as a bit, as a segment.
No, because like Kyle and Jackie O do it.
We'd just be sealing their shit.
We're just going to do it now
because it's relevant.
So this is last week,
us talking about Georgia Gardner's mispronunciation.
Yeah, but half speed.
Ready?
So we're meant to sound baked.
It definitely makes you sound cooked.
Okay.
Oh, fuck.
I'm on 11%.
I need to charge my phone.
What?
It's my favourite thing When people mispronounce shit
We better keep going
These are all the shit jokes
I want to find one where we're actually laughing
Jenna's laugh sounds haunted
I'll tell you what
Last Christmas I was up with Judy
in the North Coast around Cairns and we were hit by an awful cyclone.
Not funny.
No one was hurt.
I remember my friend Seamus in primary school,
he got me to sign his cast after he broke his collarbone.
You know, back in high school.
Anyway.
Jesus Christ.
You can just imagine us sitting around on the bloody lounge room floor,
ripping cones and having that conversation.
Thinking that it's the funniest thing in the world.
Jesus Christ.
That's horrific. I actually,
for some reason, I now feel cooked.
Yeah, me too. Like it's lulled me into that state of mind
without a single substance. Yeah, I'm ready for bed.
I've only got a whole fucking radio show to do.
Christ almighty. Dear, oh dear
darling. I know, poor me. Woe is me.
Alright, we're back next week.
Same old, same old. It's gotta be fun. Happy birthday,
Jenna. Thank you.
How are you spending it with the family?
Just reminiscing on old times.
Just how you actually...
Reminiscing on old times.
Yeah.
That's something family's doing.
Fair enough.
I can't be grudged with that, can I?
No.
Are you having lunch or dinner with fam?
With the mining community.
Jenna!
I'm trying to get...
One more chance, Jenna.
Are you going out with your greyhound and your parents?
I'm going out with my mum to have pizza.
Lovely.
Very 2020 of you.
Your past spirits would just be rolling in their grave.
Two women, pizza, oil.
That's it.
That's all I have.
That's it?
All right.
We'll see you next week.
Yeah.
We'll catch you then, guys.
See ya.
Bye.
Thanks for listening.
Is it just me?
