Starting point is 00:00:00 People do some weird shit. Hello, I'm Tracey Grimshaw. Welcome to A Current Affair. Tonight we're coming to you from my bedroom. Some things make more sense than others. Which Australian gymnast won Commonwealth Games gold in 1990 for his performance on the pommel horse? India. Hey Marcus, grow up.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for. You are a cheap tramp and a filthy liar. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Do you reckon we should include Janet's name in the opener? How about a compromise? We'll say her name, but it's said in Simlish. Brayley!
Starting point is 00:00:42 Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. We're back. Oh, hello there. Back again, are we? Yeah, we are. I mean, just becoming a thing, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:00:54 Yeah, we seem to do this often. It's almost like we do it weekly. I know. Jenna's here. Hello. Hi. Our third wheel groundskeeper, Jenna. Can I tell you guys, no pressure, But my favourite numbers are three and seven.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Yeah. And this is episode 37. So, like, my hopes are very high. I think this is going to be a great one. Oh, my God. I can feel it in the air. How could it not be when we have a very special guest joining us? Of course.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Right now, via Zoom, it's the wonderful Rikki Leigh! Hello there! Thanks for joining us, Rikki. Let me tell you, I have met you before, and it was here at the Kyle and Jackie O Show where I worked behind the scenes. And I don't know about you, Mitch, but when you're behind the scenes, you try not to bother the celeb guests. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:34 But I remember it. Rikki Lee made a point of going, oh, hi. Sorry, I haven't said hello to you yet. Hi, I'm Rikki. I was like, I'm Mitchell. Oh, my God. And I've remembered it to this day. I was like, oh, what a lovely person.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Oh, that's so nice. I thought you were going to say that I'm Ricky. I was like, I'm Mitchell. Oh, my God. And I've remembered it to this day. I was like, oh, what a lovely person. Oh, that's so nice. I thought you were going to say that I ignored you. No. I thought I was about to feel really bad, but you just made me feel really good. I'm the guy that walks in with the selfie stick all the time. You're not that guy. All the articles that get written up about you on Daily Mail are Mitch's fault because he makes the videos based on what you say on the show and then shares it to the world.
Starting point is 00:02:05 I see. I see. I see. You're the headline guy. I don't take credit for any of the unflattering ones. We've got a few to get through, actually, while we've got you on the show. Is that right? Yeah, we do. We're actually playing Head Lies, which is a game we debuted, oh my God, when the podcast
Starting point is 00:02:17 started. Obviously, the press write a lot of ridiculous things. And about you, Rikki Lee, we noticed how mundane they were. They're not salacious or rude. They're just like, Rikki Lee, we noticed how mundane they were. They're not salacious or rude. They're just like, Rikki Lee shares how she likes her toast. I think these old people love
Starting point is 00:02:33 the Daily Mail. They love whatever's written in the newspaper as gospel. Whatever's a new idea. Oh, did you hear about Karl Stefanovic? It's all made up! I know. I know. This is an opportunity to debunk whether they're true or not. That's what Headlines is about, right?
Starting point is 00:02:49 But obviously you're new here, Ricky Lee. How does the show work, Mitchell? Basically, we start the show with an Is It Just Me? each. Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. I don't know what Mitch is about to say. He doesn't know what I'm about to say. We've had some time off, so there is a lot sort of going around our minds. Why don't we start?
Starting point is 00:03:07 I think you should start. All right. Let's get into it. Is it just me or? Is it the most freeing and satisfying feeling to just belt at the top of your lungs while driving alone? Oh, yeah. Oh, man. It is the greatest feeling ever.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I can imagine it would be a lot greater for someone like you, Ricky Lee, who can actually sing, because let me tell you, it's a good thing I've got you on while I'm talking about this, because one song that I've attempted to nail for years and failed miserably is actually one of yours. It's from a couple of years ago, Not Too Late. It's so easy. Sing it.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Come on. Do you think I can hit these high notes, everyone? Just absorb it. Listen to this. Do it. Because we are, we are, we are over. Oh, she's singing it live. Turn it down.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Go, go, go. And it's not too late. Just start all over again. You sing. I don't want to ruin it. I want to hear this like acapella. No, I was ready for you to jump in. You don't want to hear it, I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I've been trying for years and it hasn't worked. You can't tell me that you belt out my songs in the car and then not give it to me. Yeah, I think you should belt it out. Fire it up again. I'll sing along with the chorus. Oh, my God, here we go, Ricky. We're doing it!
Starting point is 00:04:30 We're doing it! Oh, my throat already hurts. Cos we're young! We're young! We're... Oh, no! Oh, that's painful. How do you do that, Ricky Lee?
Starting point is 00:04:48 Can I tell you, it's that painful when I sing it too. Really? You made it look like it was like a bird gliding in the wind, like it was nothing. Oh, my God. My throat and surely the nodules that are in there from singing that song live would definitely disagree with that. Oh, my God, that's horrific. Doing that in front of Ricky Lee is just not on. That's like doing
Starting point is 00:05:10 the moonwalk in front of Michael Jackson and snapping your ankle. Yeah, nah. Is it true that that version of the song that you released was originally a demo that they were going to polish up later, but then they were like, do you know what? It's fine as it is. Yeah. So usually you re-record um the vocal so that was the vocal that we did on the day that we wrote the song and usually you kind of go back in and you re-record it because generally it's a bit shit but i think with that song we were in such a a zone with it and we felt so strongly about it that when we recorded it i just kind of gave it everything as you can hear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And the vocal, that was it. That was what was on the final product. Wow. There we go. No auto-tune required. You could also tell just with you singing there on Zoom, because often a song is ruined for me when I'm like, oh, they can't sing it live. Like Kesha can't hit that bloody high note in praying to save her life.
Starting point is 00:06:03 But I'm like, she can sing it live. Just after hearing and Zoom I'm like yes you're a real talent yeah thanks guys thank you so much I'm sure it does just make me feel so good I need to come and talk to you more often I'm sure it means a lot coming from us two music professionals yeah one who just demonstrated that I can't sing at all it's just you though because I sing but I have to have the music at 100% because I feel like I'm hitting the note anyway. If I sing it while Ricky's singing it, I'm like, no, that I did really, really well. I don't have the guts to turn the volume down.
Starting point is 00:06:31 No, of course not. It's like when you do karaoke, everyone's really exposed. Like everyone thinks it's really fun and they're a great singer and then you're all up there by yourself with that microphone and no one's singing along with you. He's like, I will always love you alone. It's very depressing. All right, well, I think I'm ready for mine.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Is it just me? Oh, well, hit us with it. All right, go, Bradley. Is it just me or? Do the press write stories on the most mundane things ever? Well, only when you get to a certain level of celebrity. Yes. Based on the look on Rikki Lee's face.
Starting point is 00:07:05 She's there. She agrees. I feel like sometimes I get sent articles, like my sister will send me something and she'll be like, what the hell are they talking about? And then like people are like, why don't, like the way that, even say the Daily Mail, their headlines are hilarious, but the way that they spell out like every single thing
Starting point is 00:07:25 about your appearance, like the colour of your nails, the height of your shoes, what colour pants you're wearing and what colour your hair is, if it's curly or straight. Like who writes this shit? Oh, yeah, most of the time it's Daily Mail, but some of the big publications have been caught out writing some mundane shit. We've done our research.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Like I said before, we do a segment called Headlines where we read out a headline to do with a guest right now it's miss ricky licolta and you have to tell us if it's a lie or if it's accurate before we get into our list of headlines can i ask you what springs to mind for you as the one that's like the most ridiculous you're like why did they write that about me um there was always something about my ass um really was there any after that yeah like booty um what else do they write about i've got one about a bra they love the bra and there's a lot of mention of of curves with ricky lee one that's not on the list but i loved it was like ricky lee boast curvaceous figure in queensland and it's like well did you not have them when she got on the plane in Sydney?
Starting point is 00:08:29 Look what I got. Look what I picked up on the GC, guys. No, it's like, does she have deep vein thrombosis? Is she holding fluid in her hips? Like, why are they? Just for you, Queensland. Ridiculous. I got a, we got a, the Daily Mail reached out the other day to just confirm
Starting point is 00:08:47 because they got a tip off that I'm pregnant. I just had a massive weekend celebrating my song going number one on iTunes. I ate all of the carbs. I'm not pregnant. I'm just a bit fat. Also, who is their tip off? Like who would go to them? Hey, just so you know, I've heard from someone very close to Miss Coulter. She's pregnant.
Starting point is 00:09:06 No one says that. It would be my closest friends that would know and there's no chance that they're calling someone at the Daily Mail. Come on. I know. It's bloody ridiculous. Anyway, let's get to the bottom of it. Let's play Headlines. What have we got? The first one, Miss Lee.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Rikki Lee packs her own lunch for AGT filming. I love that. Is that true? No, no, it is true. But it's only because I'm like, I'm so difficult, you guys. And if my blood sugar drops, I pass out and shit. So I have to make sure I've got enough food.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And sometimes when you're on the run and you're filming at like AGT, it's just hard. I'd rather just have my own stuff there that I can grab quickly and eat it. And it's not like, cause sometimes catering at those things can be a bit like unhealthy. So I just, sometimes I'll just bring sandwiches. I bring snakes. I bring, um, you know, hummus and dip and stuff like that so that I, you know, I don't eat crap all day and don't pass out from not having enough sugar. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:10:10 So that's true? It's true. Some people take lunchboxes very seriously. We've got our third wheel, Jenna, here on the show with us, and I give her a lift to work every morning. The amount of times I'm left waiting for like 10 minutes at a time in her driveway, the excuse is always, sorry, I was just finishing packing my lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Like it's an art form or something. It's very important to me. I feel you, girl. I'm with you. I'm right there with you. Thank you. And do you know the thing is, is you're always the one that when everyone else is starving and you've got the snacks,
Starting point is 00:10:39 you're the one that everyone comes to. So true. Oh, you two were those girls in school who had the smiggle lunchboxes. Do you want to trade? Do you want to trade? I got a smelly smiggle rubber. Do you want some? Shut up.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I was poor and my parents didn't care about me. I had to, like, scrounge around for cash under the couch to try and get a sausage roll at school. My mom definitely didn't pack me a lunchbox. She was probably drunk. Oh, my God. Well, the skill has stuck with you through life. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Exactly right. But you know what? Even when we did AGT, Manu was eating. See, Manu, Shane, everyone wanted to eat my sandwiches. Even Bensi Chef Manu. Exactly. Yep. Nicole Scherzinger wanted my coffee, wanted my Nescafe instant coffee.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I was like, girl. Oh. Pack your own, darling. You pussycat doll. I was like, everyone came to own darling your pussycat doll i was like everyone came to my and i also had all the booze too so everyone always came to my room jesus where was the booze hidden off set oh i've got a fridge i always have my fridge i pack it i've got my all my little snacks it's fantastic no wonder manu was slurring on camera it all makes sense he was in your dressing room all right let's do the
Starting point is 00:11:45 next one let's do the next one it's one of my favorites okay ricky lee reveals struggle to find bra that fits come on when was that i think i must have put like a weird an instagram story up or something bras are hard to to to get one that fits guys Guys, you don't understand what it's like because you're like, am I a C? Am I a C? Is it a 10? Is it a 12? What is it?
Starting point is 00:12:10 Is it a 4? Like what's going on? It's very hard sometimes to find a bra, especially like if you kind of, you know, if you lose a little bit of weight, you don't know what size you are. So maybe I did a story on Instagram or something. Maybe it's true. I found out only recently that it's not uncommon for women
Starting point is 00:12:25 to have like one bigger on the left or right or vice versa. So I imagine the bra shopping would be quite complex. Technical, yeah. Yeah, I went shopping as well with my mother-in-law who had a mastectomy because she had breast cancer and she's only got one and she had to go and buy like a special bra because they have inserts that you can fill them with. It's quite amazing. Bras, it's like a special bra because they have inserts that you can fill them with it's quite
Starting point is 00:12:45 amazing bras it's like a wonderland you guys wow i remember my uncle has a prosthetic testicle it's just made out of silicon it's like a rubber egg i didn't know that was a thing wow i'm gonna say have you ever felt it what did you say have you ever felt it it's like mitch you're at that age now where Uncle Greg needs to show you something. Hop on my lap. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Move on. Ricky, you started this. Okay, so that was kind of true. Kind of true. This is my favourite because it's just so random. Ricky Lee's first haircut since isolation started. What about it? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:26 That's not true because I haven't had a haircut in like six months. So it's not true. I had my hair coloured. Oh, I didn't. We were getting comments on our Facebook page about, oh, she's got the highlight situation happening. Are you liking it or are you regretting it? Well, I regretted it during iso because i started to go
Starting point is 00:13:45 lighter right before you know everything got shut down so i've got dark brown hair and i started going light so i've got like i had all of you know the foils and the balayage and so like as iso went on like the regrowth went further and further and further back and i had just like like i looked like i was, yeah, a derro. So there you go. Finally, we got one. It's false. There we go.
Starting point is 00:14:10 This one's quite nice, to be honest, and ties back to the lunchbox. Ricky Lee boasts a much more balanced lunch. Oh, God. No, because that's true because you know why? I posted one day a picture of my lunch for lunch I love having like a fresh raw plate of like veggies I have like you know capsicum and I would have cucumbers and um like a bit of hummus and whatever and I got in trouble from like weird some I don't know I'm putting in you know these air quotes dietician saying that I'm, I'm setting an extremely bad example.
Starting point is 00:14:48 This is dangerous. And it was like, there was this whole thing. I'm like, guys, it's just my lunch. You don't know what I had an hour before it and what I'm about to ram into my mouth straight after it. So I kind of got attacked for being extreme. So then that would be a follow-up because maybe i added tuna to it or something right i see so more balance than just plain vegetables like rabbit food yes all right this
Starting point is 00:15:12 one's ridiculous but i love it it's just it's so observational and i don't know how they got the information ricky leaf forgets to bring her passport to the airport end of headline they get the information from me because i'm i'm i give everyone too much information i went to the airport i was flying to la you know it's that early morning flight i wake up at whatever 5am i get to the airport i get to the check-in and i realize i didn't have my passport i left it in my side drawer that is mortifying all the way home and you know you gotta i'm there like four hours before because i'm like being on time yeah by the time i get home get back because i
Starting point is 00:15:50 have to leave the airport go all the way home come back how far was it it will luckily it was only it was i was living in the city and it was in sydney so it was only like half an hour okay but it was still very very very tense very tense i know what it's like to realise the day before I go overseas, oh, my God, I haven't found my passport. I literally turned my room upside down and that panic was enough for me. So what you went through, I just felt like secondhand anxiety. But have you ever done this? Have you ever gotten to the airport, realized when you're checking in and the woman says, oh, your passport isn't valid for long enough.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Like, you know how they have the three months? Yeah, like six months. Yep, yep, yep. She told me, I'm going on my first holiday with my now husband, my then new boyfriend, and we turn up at the airport and she tells me we can't go because my passport isn't valid for long enough oh no that's awful so i'm assuming he didn't just leave without you no of course not as if that would ever happen i was like come back to the hotel did it ever cross your mind like even for a second i know you would never do it but
Starting point is 00:17:00 did it ever cross your mind to just say i'm r Ricky Leahy, for God's sake? I mean, clearly that wasn't going to work because she was like, you've got to leave now. But I went straight to the passport office and, you know, I may or may not have got in quite quickly. Yes. And I had that shit turned around in 24 hours and I was on the plane. Yes. Miss Lee.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Power player. All right. Let's do the last one. Oh one oh wait so technically that is 100 true oh poor thing poor thing give me a heart attack all right let's end it here this could be my favorite headline that i've seen ricky lee recounts skinny dip with uk export sam smith uk export that's offensive this. That's like Julian Assange. Poor thing. Is that true?
Starting point is 00:17:48 Did you skinny dip? Yeah. Well, Sam's a very good friend of mine and Sam's been, I think I've known Sam since like Stay With Me came out. Yeah. And I first came to Australia to do like radio and stuff like that. And so ever since then, Sam always comes to my house and stays and we go and party and drink and go out and eat and do drag shows in my lounge room and open up my questions and pull out the wigs and the heels. But yeah, we have a really fun time.
Starting point is 00:18:16 We've had lots of New Year's Eve's together. And one of them, we ended up down on the beach, rolling around in the sand. We were recreating, it started out, we were recreating the Drunk in Love music video of Beyonce and Jay-Z. Oh, yes. And, yeah, it's pretty messy. I actually saw the video of it the other day. It's quite horrendous. Is this thing available to the public?
Starting point is 00:18:40 Absolutely not. And then it was dark and then i've never felt freer i don't know whose idea it was i think sam probably you know took everything off first and ran into the water and then i was like me too and then we ran into the water and it was the most free fun freeing experience we laid out past the waves We swam out past the waves. And this is terrible because we were drunk. We swam out past the waves and we just laid on our backs and floated and just stared up into the stars and, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:12 we're just chatting. And it was just really fun. It was really, really fun but very dangerous, I'm sure. That's crazy. You guys should come back in now. Guys, come on. Put your clothes back on. Yeah, I think they were more worried that we were going to get eaten by sharks.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Can you imagine that? Oh, my God. Now, that would be a headline. That would be a headline. Ricky Lee and Sam Smith mauled to death by great white nerd in Balmoral. That would be a great read. You must also really trust these friends waiting back on the beach to not take a photo of you and Sam Smith
Starting point is 00:19:45 skinny dipping I feel like that's something that the Daily Mail would be interested in knowing about yeah we didn't take photos there was no photos of us nude but there was definitely photos of us rolling around half naked in the sand but those will never see the light of day I just want to I just want to see your and Sam's um fake instagram we've uploaded these pictures fun night with a fun friend no way no way no way no way they're not going to that and yeah even all the videos of the drag shows that we do around here they're very fun but they're very much just for us for you guys only well fair enough well there you go true headline there you go is the is the fake instagram thing something that, like, celebrities would actually do to hide from people like Daily Mail, like we mentioned?
Starting point is 00:20:28 I have, like, a stalker Instagram page for sure. Yeah, you've got to. It's a finster. Everyone has a finster. I've got a finster. You have a finster, Mitch? No, I don't. Am I meant to?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yeah, everyone has a finster. I don't have one. For what purpose? It's a fake Insta. You just have it in case you want to stalk an ex or comment on something. I'd not really comment, but I just have it. Or if I've put content up, I can be like, love this. And not be, not be, it not be known that you are watching them.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yes. 100%. Right. I see. Okay. Wow. You've got to get up with the times. You can go watch people's lives on Instagram and, and things like that, but you don't want
Starting point is 00:21:01 it to be your page that comes up. Yeah. Oh, cause then they go, Ricky Lee's here. Hey, Ricky Lee. Oh, she didn't comment. She just clicked away. No worries. No worries.
Starting point is 00:21:12 They love giving you attention. Bloody hell. Well, there you go. There's Headlines. There's Ricky Lee. We won't keep you much longer. We do want to say how much we love Last Night. Obviously a number one single.
Starting point is 00:21:22 It is such a brilliant song. We love having it. Mitch and I do. We actually listen to it. It's on your gym playlist, right? Yes, and it's got a few one single. It is such a brilliant song. We love having it. Mitch and I do. We actually listen to it. It's on your gym playlist, right? Yes, and it's got a few more lower notes than I can actually achieve, unlike Not Too Late. I wrote that one for everybody to sing along with.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Yes, and I appreciate it greatly. There's everyone sitting near behind me in traffic. Definitely. Hey, we'll let you go. Thank you so much for coming on the show. We love you to bits. And then, you know, we'll let you go. Thank you so much for coming on the show. We love you to bits. And then, you know, we'll get you in soon once all this ISO stuff is done. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:50 I can't wait. Thanks so much, guys. When can I... Oh, sorry, Tano! She's gone. There we go. Just a minute. I knew you were going to do that.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I told you not to. She was hopeless on Zoom the whole time. She just thought it was... I'm not even mad. It's your funeral. It's your record label contacts that are going to be like, bro, what the fuck happened? She just followed me on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Did she? Yeah, she did. She could have followed me. I'm just getting so many followers recently. I just can't get by. You are now in front of me. Not that I'm cheating. Am I?
Starting point is 00:22:20 Yeah, but I went on yours. What do you want? I'm rising too at the moment. I don't know. Maybe a lot of people. I don't want to be like the Sydney gays where we discuss our Instagram followers. Oh, I don't give a shit. But we've mentioned on this podcast before that I've had more than you, which is random
Starting point is 00:22:31 because you're a lot of kink fans. Oh, I didn't realise that. We have mentioned it. There you go. Maybe I'm wrong. I wonder if I even follow her. Shit. You better follow back.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Jenna, I bet you don't, Jenna. Let's just say. Jenna probably follows. Oh my God, I don't. Vanessa Amorosi. Oh my God, I don't even follow her. She'll follow you now, do it. That is so poor. I have her on Facebook, though. I always get notifications when she goes live.
Starting point is 00:22:49 What does she do? Sing? I bet she sings. Oh no, I wasn't following her. Well, follow her! Good thing you did hang up. Imagine if we had this conversation when she was still there. Bless her. You know what? She's probably googling now, like, Zoom dropouts. Like, how to fix... She was hung up on. Anyway, oh god, what are we doing now? I'm going to comment on her latest and say hey. Okay, Jenna, what's the photo of? It's like, how to fix... She was hung up on. Anyway, oh, God, what am I doing now? I'm going to comment on her latest and say, hey.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Okay, Jenna, what's the photo of? It's a quote. Lovely, brilliant. As you get older, you really just want to be surrounded by good people, people that are good to you and good for your soul. Oh, that's good. Uploaded 13 seconds ago. Just had a great Zoom interview.
Starting point is 00:23:22 You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of mitches we should give a special welcome to all of our new listeners yeah because i um jen i was telling mitch earlier i checked the stats on our first episode of season two last week and i was like oh my god we got we got way more than usual like way more than we used to get in a week back in season one. And I'm guessing it came from our newfound TikTok following, which isn't exactly huge. But I was like, oh, my God, look at them all. They're coming. I'm not going to have to do the wet ass pussy dance.
Starting point is 00:23:54 No, I'm certainly not doing that. I'll dislodge a hip. Anyway, we may or may not upload that at couple of inches on TikTok is where you can find us. But of course, our favorite listeners do not come from TikTok. They're in our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots. If you want to join our Facebook group, you might not know how to get in yet. There's a question you have to get. You have to answer to get in and you don't know the answer yet if you're new here.
Starting point is 00:24:17 But we welcome all our new listeners. Speaking of TikTok, I mentioned before we went on a little break from the show, before we wrapped season one, that in my spare time, I'm probably going to start making extra TikToks. Well, as predicted, that's what I got up to. I made a lot of TikToks. I've actually signed with an agency. Can you believe I'm now officially an influencer? Oh my God, what's up?
Starting point is 00:24:40 So you've got a manager. I feel ill. Fancy. I knew you were not wanting to talk about your Instagram followers when you've been doing it all week at this meeting. But anyway, I have been making TikToks, one of which, did you see the one I was talking about, my grinder fail, when I made a bit of a dick of myself on a dating app?
Starting point is 00:24:56 I did see that and I liked it. That was very funny. It was cringy though. I was like, oh God. Yeah, very embarrassing story. I do have an update for you though. But for those who haven't heard, this was the TikTok I posted. So I was at the Star Casino, which has the Sydney Lyric Theatre attached to it.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And I was talking to this guy nearby. I was like, you know, what are you up to? You know, like, what brings you here? He was like, I'm here for Shrek the musical. It's currently intermission. I was like, oh, one of my friends went and saw that the other day. He said it was no good, like absolute garbage. But what do you think of it? He goes, why would you say that to me when I'm about to go back on stage? I was like, oh, you're in Shrek the musical. I thought he was
Starting point is 00:25:36 just a punter in the foyer lining up for a fucking chop top at intermission. He's like, that is so rude. Like you wouldn't know the first thing about being a musical performer. And I was like, you're absolutely right. Like I love musicals. I go to all of them. And like, that is so rude. Like, you wouldn't know the first thing about being a musical performer. And I was like, you're absolutely right. Like, I love musicals. I go to all of them. And, like, I've always admired what you can do. And he was like, really? I was like, really, really?
Starting point is 00:25:53 Oh, Mitch. It's a Shrek joke. Don't mind me. I got it. But anyway, after that, I was then banned from Grindr that night. Like, sorry, your account has been suspended for violating community terms or some shit. So he reported you? Well, I'm assuming so, because there's just no other reason that it would have been banned.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Right. But anyway, the update is he has since gotten in touch. Oh, no! Not by a grinder, you're blocked. Absolutely not. Oh, no. So he messaged me and said, Hi, Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I just wanted to let you know that I've been sent the TikTok you made by multiple people in the last day. I don't use TikTok personally, so it was a bit of a surprise. I can agree it was a funny and awkward situation, but you've included a picture of me in it. It's made me feel really yuck as I'm not really one for social media. And I'm currently working overseas on a job where I have to be sensitive about what I post. I know dating stories are funny, but going forward, I'd ask you keep it as anonymous as possible.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Here I am talking about it. As it made me feel very uncomfortable. What? Oh. I mean, I did write back to him like, oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't think I was making you uncomfortable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:59 It was meant to be a story about me embarrassing myself. I wasn't trying to embarrass you. And also, I didn't know he was in the photo. I just Googled Sh embarrass you and also I didn't know he was in the photo. I just googled Shrek the Musical. I didn't realise it was the Australian cast. Oh, I was assuming that it was the little profile picture because you uploaded a Grindr chat or something, right? No,
Starting point is 00:27:15 I just uploaded a picture of Shrek the Musical and he happened to be in the ensemble. I thought it was just how he had a fucking green Hessian sack on his head. I know. Anyway, so I did apologise and I meant what i said i was like sorry i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable but in reality i was thinking god you are such a karen yeah every interaction i've had with you has been you making some sort of complaint about something i did not on purpose to offend you first i accidentally insulted the musical he was in
Starting point is 00:27:43 because i thought that he was just a punter and now this he's like I'm very uncomfortable oh you're ruining my anonymity and so I was just thinking to myself this guy and I are destined to never get along there's no there's no mending that I can do here he's just clearly got the shits with me and I can't be bothered fixing it it really doesn't matter and then my next was, this is Mitchell Turi's worst nightmare because you could not handle someone not liking you for no good reason. No, I would feel sick.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I think in this case, he's been a bit of a right roll donkey. No but, agenda. Yeah, I would. I'd have to make, I'd buy him like a Shrek throw pillow. You would absolutely grovel. You would do anything you could to try and make it up to him. Whereas I'm just like, whatever. No.
Starting point is 00:28:30 He's just unhappy with me. And I feel that I haven't done anything wrong, but whatever. I would freak out. Let's compare the pair. Would you delete, have you deleted the video on TikTok? God, no. I would have deleted it and burnt my phone. You would have issued an apology YouTube video.
Starting point is 00:28:44 You'd be like, I've tried to film this three times. This is going to be a really different video today. Sat like this, you know, with their knees up to their chest. Yeah. I would not be, I would lose sleep. You know what would happen? I would have gotten the message. I'd get the phone and I'd drop it. I'd go, then my heart would race and I'd start sweating.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I would freak the fuck out. Yeah, you would. You absolutely would. It was the first thing I thought. I was like, God, Mitch would not handle this. Is there anyone that you're aware of that just actively doesn't like you and you've tried to fix it, but it just isn't happening? I mean, I'm sure there's definitely people out there. No, but I mean that you're aware of.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Probably not. There's someone on Facebook Marketplace right now that's not happy with me and I'm losing sleep over it. I think he's a listener of the podcast too. Why? What makes you think that? I think his name is Yam. I was selling my old iPhone, got a crack in the back,
Starting point is 00:29:33 and I put it up on the weekend. And then he's like, I'll buy it for $500. I was asking $600. And then I'm like, okay, you can have it. Someone else replied and said, I'll give you $600. Of course I'm going to take it. So I said to Yam, will you pay $600? I've got another offer've got another offer he's like no mate and then i sold it to the other guy and i marked it as sold he messaged me and said i'm disappointed i expected better from you
Starting point is 00:29:53 i'm like this is getting really personal and he said you sold the phone when i was trying to contact you all day collecting the cash i was like sorry i said that's how facebook works no no that's how you work mitch it may be a subject for your next podcast oh my god what is yarn oh I felt so bad what's his name yarn hello yarn if you're listening he knows you do a podcast hilarious
Starting point is 00:30:15 thanks yarn at least you got a good yarn ad and so what did you say have you tried to like make it up to yarn are you begging for forgiveness are you like I'll buy you a new one I'll link him another iPhone for a similar price. I just had to. Oh my God, that's so good. There was nothing else that I could do other than help.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I wanted to help him out. It's just nice being in a place where I don't care if I'm not liked because I'm like, this guy is just, we're never going to be friends. Clearly, there's nothing I could do. Yeah. And going on a date with him too, that would never have worked. Oh God, no. He actually said to me on Grind me on grinder he goes can i ask how tall you are because i only date guys taller than me he was like six foot four i was like good luck fucking a giraffe
Starting point is 00:30:54 like what the hell that's hilarious do you know what the weird thing is though why this just goes to show what a small world the fucking gay community is. Oh, why? Because that same night that I spoke to him on Grindr, right? Yeah. After I left the Sark Casino, I went to Pufdorf and then ended up going home with this guy. Yeah. Who was also a musical theatre performer.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Right. Well, aren't they all? Oh, yeah. And now they're both in the same musical together. Oh, no. They uploaded a selfie together. Oh, no. And I was like, oh, my God. In the same night, I insulted one and I fucked the same musical together. They uploaded a selfie together. And I was like, oh my God, in the same night,
Starting point is 00:31:26 I insulted one and I fucked the other. I was like, fuck the gay community. Everyone knows everyone. What show are they in together? Cats. In Korea. In Korea? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Shit. Oh, those two, they always tour around, those musicians. I shouldn't have said that. He wants to be anonymous. Should I beep the musical? Beep it out, yeah. No, fuck it, they're in Cats. No, beep it out. always tour around, those musicians. I shouldn't have said that. He wants to be anonymous. Should I beep the musical? Beep it out, yeah. No, fuck it, they're in Cats. No, beep it out.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Fine. Beep it out. You guys can go and Google the cast of Cats Korea and guess which one I rooted, which one I insulted. I've got to do it too. No, don't. Not now. It's a fun little trivia game until we're back.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Jellicle Cats. Yeah, we used to play the cat song for Jenna. Can't believe in this podcast, one of you is a cat. The other's fucked a cat. He wasn't a cat at the time. I need to hit one with my car, then we're fucking even. I've slept with a woman. There's a pussy.
Starting point is 00:32:15 So there's three of us. All right, next week we're back. I don't even know. We'll do something. Could you stop, like, hooking the next episode unless we have something planned? You've done this a million times. Next week, we'll do something. It's very radio, because in radio you hook everything,
Starting point is 00:32:32 and I know what I'm talking about. I've just noticed you do that a lot. You go, next week, oh, I don't really know. And it just makes it sound shit. It's going to be awesome next week. No, there is actually one thing we can plug that we are doing, not on our show. We were invited to guest host the Project You podcast.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Oh, that's right. It's called Pop Corner by Project You. It's like a music review podcast. Yeah. And they asked us to fill in. So if you go look them up, our episode should be up already, actually. It was reviewing Katy Perry's new album, Smile, which is perfect because I'm a massive Katy Perry fan.
Starting point is 00:33:01 It's heaven for you. So if you want a little bit more Mitch's in your life this week, go search Project You's Pop Corner. Listen to our episode. But we'll be back next week, guys. It's going to be great, I promise. We will. See you then.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Bye-bye. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. We're still here. This is AD Debrief, our secret segment on the end. We just sneak it on. Hopefully most people have tuned out.
Starting point is 00:33:35 It's just us. Keep it a secret though. Hi. It's called AD Debrief because ADD, a lack of focus, and we're just having a debrief. So we just kind of go rogue. Nothing's planned. Talk shit.
Starting point is 00:33:49 If you want to get into their secret Facebook group, Enduring Idiots, this is for the new TikTokers listening. Actually, sorry, let me just do this to speak their language. Wrong button. This is to get them really hooked in, you know what I mean? Of course. Get you up to speed very quickly. Mitch, Mitch, Jenna was killed in the genocide of Taiwan in 03. Yep.
Starting point is 00:34:04 And she's had many lives since then. But her current existence and consciousness lives in a young girl's body. Yes. She's an old soul. Yes, but this is my last life. It's my ninth. Is it? How do you decide that?
Starting point is 00:34:16 I don't decide. Nine lives because cat and ale. You just know. You know, though. I feel it. So when you die next, hopefully they're hopefully in 100 years. Yes. That's it for you.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yes. Do we live on? Can you sense us? Is she going to live to 126? I don't know. You might. Both of you will not. Oh, God, no.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Who do you get the aura for? Who's going to live the longest? Me or Mitch? Oh, let me think. I think Goombs. Sorry. Yeah, I have a feeling that my death won't be normal. It'll either be young and tragic or like so old that it's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Like I'll live to like 104 and be like, just take me already. Isn't that scary though? I often think I can't picture myself even 40. So is that my body being like, you're going to die, mate? I hope that the saying is true that life begins at 40. I reckon it'd be a great 40 year old. What's that saying? Who's ever said that?
Starting point is 00:35:07 Every 40-year-old ever. Yeah, but they have to. I mean, what else have you got to cling on to? I don't know. We'll find out when we get to 40, hey? I wonder if this podcast will still be going a little more 40. We should, actually. We'll just keep going. What would our age-ims be? Is it just me or can you really keep eating cream cheese after 12? Is it just me or are the All Lords really unpredictable?
Starting point is 00:35:24 The Dow really took a turn this week. Oh, no. Or we'll really make it and we'll be really rich boomers. Is it just me or should I sell my Balmain investment property? Really unreliable. Just you. I'm keeping mine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:37 No, say that again. Is it just me or should I get rid of my Balmain investment property? Say your response. No, I'm keeping mine. That's it. That's the banter. Say your response. Nah, I'm keeping mine. That's it. That's the damn time. Here we go. This is to really cater to the TikTokers.
Starting point is 00:35:52 TikTok music. Is this TikTok music? Yeah. What's TikTok about this? You know that one? I don't know. They probably get their dick out of it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:03 What's the challenge to this? I don't know if there's a word for this challenge. No, it's the dance. No, it's not. That's say so. No, it's the one where they put all the different emojis up on the screen and you have to do your hands to try and match it. Like, oh, you do the peace emoji, the thumbs down emoji.
Starting point is 00:36:21 We can't play the lyrics. What do you mean, let's try it? There's no emojis up. Yeah, sorry. It's an audio medium. What about this? Let's cater to another side of TikTok. Let's go over to the R&B.
Starting point is 00:36:33 This rock star. I don't know about you, but I don't get any of this shit on my TikTok anymore. Really? Yeah, my For You page, it knows me to a T and I've never watched a dance. What about this? I know the song. Yeah. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:36:49 What is this fucking game? I'm catering to the TikTokers. Just letting them know that I see you, I hear you. We speak your language. You know the, just did a bad thing. I don't have that. I regret the thing I did. Do you know what I keep seeing?
Starting point is 00:37:03 People putting up TikToks with, when I, what is it? When I Look at You by Miley Cyrus. But it's been pitch shifted. I don't know why. You know how some songs, they just edit it to make it really deep? I don't really know why that's a thing. But people put that up in the background of like sad TikToks. So this is it.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Hold on. There is no guarantee. That this life is easy. it hold on there is no guarantee okay i get it and i saw one the other day that was like oh my god i was today years old when i realized that this is just a Miley Cyrus song slowed down and everyone in the comments is arguing going, yeah, it's originally a Miley Cyrus song, but this is obviously a guy doing a cover. It's not her slow down. And like everyone, that was the most liked comment. Everyone is convinced that sure. It's originally a Miley Cyrus song, but this is a man covering it.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Me, the editor. I went out of my way to go and see what was the case. And I went and sped it up and it's 100% Miley's voice. Listen, the editor, I went out of my way to go and see what was the case and I went and sped it up and it's 100% Miley's voice. Listen, ready? There is no guarantee Oh, it's Miley. That this love is easy Yeah, we're fine
Starting point is 00:38:18 Oh, that's it. Yeah. It's falling for me Can you find that song in the system? Do we have it? When I look at you, you might have to go on YouTube. I don't think fucking Kiss was playing the last song soundtrack. Is that the one with the Hemsworth brother? Yeah. Don't ever think of Kiss in that light again.
Starting point is 00:38:35 We've got it. Here we go. This is the sad TikTok song that everyone, all the youngsters don't realise is a Miley song. Do you want me to skip? You can do it your lot. Yeah, it's a lot of fucking peony. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Is this where her dad dies at the beach hut? Yes. Yes, that. Here we go. Ready? Ready? Oh. It's definitely Miley. It's definitely Miley.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Do you have the capabilities to pitch shift over there? I do, but what we're recording into is the thing that can do it, so we can't. I'll edit it later. Fade the song back up and I'm going to edit it lower to prove that it is just her lowered. Alright, here we go. See, it's pretty hard. Definitely hard. I might actually leave it low-pitched. I'll sound like a man for once. Maybe we should low-pitch your voice.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I'm leaving it low-pitched right now. Oh, the whole thing. You can tell me when to stop, but right now, let's just hang here for a bit. I'm enjoying it. I wonder how I'll sound, because sometimes my voice is low, and then other times, super high. Chipmunks. One time, when I was still doing Not My Cup of Tea, the old podcast I worked on. Yep.
Starting point is 00:40:04 It was cancelled. It was, this is back when we were also a community radio show. So we would send, we would email the show to the station and they would play it out. Yeah. And there must have been some error in downloading the attachment or the fire was corrupt or something. Because they played out our whole show and it was in low pitch. Like it had been pitch shifted. And I remember getting tweets being like guys what's going on because we sounded like we currently do on this podcast the whole hour oh my god and i by the time i
Starting point is 00:40:33 messaged them they were like sorry all the texts have gone home so our show just played in low pitch it was really fucked at least you would have sounded the same but you and ashlyn okay bring all sound we're back okay here we Okay, here we are. This sounds nicer. I like this. Should we go high pitch for a bit? Yeah, go. Get sucked some helium. Yeah, it's not going to be easy. You don't have to put on a high voice, sorry, because I'm going to do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Wow. I don't know why, but imagine you sound like this. But it's not going to be like this, is it? No. I can talk really slowly, but it's still going to be high pitched. Anyway, let's come back to normal now I wanted to have a go Hi everyone Okay I'm done
Starting point is 00:41:12 You sound like a child at the park trying to get attention Hi everybody Hi everyone how are you? Oh sorry I forgot to activate They auto turn on if we don't activate them within 3 minutes of starting Stupid You can live tweet us anytime at is it just a couple of Mitches?
Starting point is 00:41:27 The answer is yes, there's a couple in Jenna, Shannaba Doobie. So you can tweet us at any time. Also, Mitchell, we have some fan mail that I'd like to read for you. Okay. I was going to actually hold this for the main episode and do it as in the intro. We had Ricky Lee and I didn't want to over-talk, you know, because we went straight into it
Starting point is 00:41:44 with Ricky here. I didn't want her holding on Zoom while I dropped this bombshell on you. I got a email over the weekend. Not a tweet. I got an email. I was sitting at home listening to the radio. Okay, no TikTok.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Hayden and I just make love. I got an email. Please stop. Look at me. From a fan. Look at my eyes. Don't look at that stupid sound effects board. From a fan. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:11 A listener and someone that we both know. Okay. Burn. So, Cole McClure. Oh, right. Yeah, I never met her, but I know who you're talking about. She sent me a message. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I want to see if you can clue any of this together now you and your um titty bitty schnitty escape the big city to get liddy committee moved to went to the blue mountains to do a what was it some sort of final episode because you guys were cancelled no it was a three-part series actually got it you ate Schnitzel's at many restaurants and reviewed them. Yes. Bern lives in the Blue Mountains. Okay. She was sent the Blue Mountains Daily Gazette.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah. Have you heard of your front page feature? What? Yeah. Katoomba Gazette. What are you talking about? You're on the paper, baby. Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:43:01 Yep. I wanted to do it as its own thing, but I just knew you'd find out by the time we record the next episode. No, no one's told me. I don't have any bloody spy in the Blue Mountains. Google it because I'm going to do it with you. I'm going to read it out. Did she take a picture of the paper? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Can I see this front page feature? No. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You should give it here. No, I'm going to read it to you. Also, that's not the front page, but no worries. Well, it's probably page three or something.
Starting point is 00:43:28 God, you're such an embellisher. There was a local fire that got number one. All right. Here we go. Oh. Here we go. Let's start. Oh, this might be good too.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I can't believe my other podcast made press. Auntie Ed's. Best schnitty out of the city. Hilarious. Auntie Ed's. Best schnitty out of the city. Hilarious. Auntie Ed's at Katoomba has soared to the lead in an online quest for the best chicken schnitzel in the country.
Starting point is 00:43:53 The schnitty committee, they wrote that, which is odd. Podcasters took to the mountains earlier this month on their quest to find the most delicious crumbed deep fried slab of chook. God, they're on brand. Yeah, wow. And they reckon they found it at Auntie Ed's in Katooba Street, awarding the meal 95 points out of 100. They realise it's not fucking MasterChef. And knocking the previous top scorer, the fat chook in Leichhardt, off the perch.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Oh, no. God, they did their research. They did. Aislinn Garrett, Mitchell Coombs. Garrett? Did they actually write Garrett? No, they wrote Garner. That's my error.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Mitchell Coombs and Talisha Veskia, who usually sample the schnitzels in the city, were on their first road trip to sample the quality of schnitzels in regional New South Wales. Blue Mountains is a regional town about an hour and a half, two hours out of Sydney. The trio gave Auntie Ed's schnitty as well as the chicken burger and parmigiana they ate. God. Big day. Not one each.
Starting point is 00:44:44 No. Top or near top marks for size, thickness, quality of chips and salad. Seasoning, sauce, gravy and texture. Or as they term it, the synergy between the chicken and crumbs. Oh my god, this journalist actually listened. Yeah. Oh god. Auntie Ed's owner, Dwayne Nins
Starting point is 00:44:59 proudly posed for the Gazette. He took a photo with the paper. What? Proudly posed with the Gazette as we reached him for comment. And the plaque and plate with his finest schnitty parmesan last week. The fried chicken topped with tomato sauce, cheese and ham. But his moment of glory was only brief as the lunchtime crowd demanded their own schnitties along with some of Auntie Ed's amazing ice cream treats topped with a creamy range of biscuits from Tim Tams,
Starting point is 00:45:24 Dwight's Vovo's and Mints. More killer jills, anyone? Jane, uh, Ginny, sorry, Jenny Curtin. God, that's hilarious. Yep, music off. Can you show me now? Yep, I'll show you the photo as well. I used a lovely selfie of you.
Starting point is 00:45:36 You look like a lovely lesbian woman. Did they? Yeah. Oh, I look good there. You do. Thank you. Well done, Mitch. Proud of you.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Thank you. Far out. That's hilarious. Yeah, it look good there. You do. Thank you. Well done, Mitch. Proud of you. Thank you. Far out. That's hilarious. Yeah, it is very funny. By the way, we're on page 13. Sorry. Thanks for lying and that's all right. That's called embellishing.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Yeah, but I love how the paper actually reached out for a comment. Yeah, I know. But not to us. Well, she probably heard enough of your fucking drivel. That podcast is hard to listen to. Yeah, we've won too many comments. For longer than three minutes, I can't do it, Jenna. Fuck, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Congratulations, I'm proud of you. Thank you. Are you going to stop mocking the show now? Yeah, I never mock it. I just give the people a true reaction. No, I love you guys and I love the girls. We're all very good friends off the cloud, so I don't know. It's just a joke. It's just a bit of rivalry, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Bit of fun. Have you guys ever been in the paper before? Jenna, have you been in the paper? Surely when you won at Greyhounds, won the prized race in the Jubilee Oval. Yeah, I have. There was a period in, like, 2015 when I was in the local paper back home so many times. Right. They must have just lost interest in my career progression because there's only so many times you can write the headline,
Starting point is 00:46:46 oh, local boys doing well in Sydney, all this shit. Like, it was, oh, God, that was me winning some award at TAFE for excellence, my Bougainvillea Gate video going viral, my fucking visit to Stonewall with SBS got reported in the local paper. Like, all this, I remember having so many clippings from one year and then never again. Really?
Starting point is 00:47:08 Until now. Until they probably found out you were gay. Like, let's stop writing about it. We want people to read the paper. No, me being, my first time going gay clubbing literally made the local paper back home. That's cute. I've been in the local leader too,
Starting point is 00:47:19 but nothing for anything important. I don't care. The Shire is very sport orientated. Do they have local newspapers in Sydney or is the Daily Telegraph just kind of it? No, every suburb has their own. Really? Mm-hmm. I wonder if my suburb has one.
Starting point is 00:47:32 It would. You've got to get it. It's probably region. We had St George and the Sutherland Shire. And there's like Inner West, Five Dock newspaper. It'd probably be Inner West. We'd probably get the same now that I'm in Glebe. Inner West.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Five Dock local newspapers. Does that mean that I just come under the Inner West Courier? Yeah. Oh, boring. We should call them and be like, just so you know, a local boy is doing a podcast. Get me a number. Or is it just me? Get me a number or a ring.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Actually, two local boys. Yeah, thank you very much. I'm in Glebe. You should call as our manager, just so it sounds more legit. Yeah, okay. What's the number? Who should you be, though? I'll be our manager, Clark Riley. Yeah more legit. Yeah, okay. What's the number? Who should you be, though? I'll be our manager, Clark Riley.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Yeah. I represent Mitch and Mitch. Well, you actually have a manager, and so do I now. Well, no, I do, and so do you now, is what I should say. So real management won't be happy. Is your management an acronym? Mine is. Huh?
Starting point is 00:48:19 Is your management an acronym, like a BBA? It's the Arctic, so no. Why the Arctic? Part of the Verve network. Jesus, give me one of them. The V champagne that's quite delicious oh i never occurred to me that it's the same word as the the wine yes the fuck i could go on right now i'm with uh rgm the acronym jenna who are you with huh no it's funny it's funny because i was with a management when i was a child because i was a child actor in this life.

Starting point is 00:48:58 So if you go on their website and you kind of scroll through all their talent, you're there as one of them. And I was going to do... I can't even remember if I told Jenna this idea. I think I might've just kept it to myself and then just decided against it. I had this idea for like an April Fool's thing on this show where we like get all our listeners to go and put in a bunch of like fake inquiries so that
Starting point is 00:49:15 your manager calls you and is like, you've been booked for a dog show MC gig. Like it's all these absurd opportunities for you and your management are just like, what the fuck? That's very funny actually. You shouldn't have told me. I would have loved that. At least they'd give me a call.
