Hi, guys. Hi. It's us. Before we start the show, we just wanted to jump in here and let you know that coming up later in the podcast, we're going to be doing a little prank on Jenna, our third wheel. She joins us every week on the show. Yeah, we're about to do something after the two Is It Just Me's. It's how we start the show every week.

Yes. Keep an ear out because she's not here right now. That's why we're... It's just us. You're going to know what's happening when it happens, but she won't. It's a brand new segment that we're calling Gaslighting Jenna. Now, we're not awful people. No.

If you don't know what gaslighting is, I've just got a little Google definition here. It says, gaslighting is to manipulate someone by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. And gaslighting is described as one of the most toxic traits that someone can exhibit in a friend. And we're putting this on Jenna. Yes. So essentially, we're going to try and convince her that she agreed to do a segment and watch her freak out. If you're new here, she's very timid, our Jenna. My prediction?

Yeah. She'll freak out a little bit. She'll wail. Anyway, like Mitch said, after the two idjams, so like what? In about 15 minutes? Yeah, 15, 20. Yeah, it depends how much we waffle on. Yeah.

You'll hear us gaslighting Jenna. And we're going to commit to the bit, right? We have to pretend that she pre-planned this segment. 100%. Can't wait to see how she copes. Anyway, let's get into the show. People do some weird shit. Hello, I'm Tracey Grimshaw.

Welcome to A Parent 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. Marcus, grow up. 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 Jenna's name in the opener? How about a compromise? We'll say her name, but it's said in Simlish.

Brayley! Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchellem. Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. I'm exhausted! Here we are, back again. Hi. Why are you so tired? Oh, it's so hard being on radio, then podcasting and TV.

I'm on every medium. I know, it's been a big day for us, hasn't it? Hasn't it ever? We had our TV debut. I know. Well, together. Yeah. I've been on before, but yes.

At the time of record right now, this morning, we were on Studio 10 together promoting this fuck damn podcast. I know. I'm still not quite sure how that happened. Neither am I. And I slandered them. Like, I made a derogatory comment about the show and a gum nut and then they're like, hey, come on. So if you were listening last week, we were talking about how we wanted to get press for the show. We were just like, oh, do you remember back in the day that it used to be really exciting when you saw yourself in the local paper?

And then on a whim, you were like, let's see if we can get on TV. Let's aim higher, yeah. And then we managed to make it happen. We'll play it out in full later on and do the full story. And of course, it spiralled me into an existential crisis because Kerri-Ann Kennelly hates me. And I haven't been out. I finished my show at midnight last night, woke up at seven to come here to do the cross from Kierce.

It was a whole thing. And then I couldn't nap because my mind was swirling. Kerri-Ann looked at me. She glared at me. She didn't laugh at my jokes. And she made some comments that I actually believe were directed straight towards me. Look, I did get a couple of messages from people who were like, God, Kerri-Ann was a bit harsh on you guys, wasn't she?

This is like an Australian TV icon we're talking about. Yeah. But I think that's just her. She's kind of got this dry cynicism about her yeah and we'll play the audio later and you guys can be the judge but like oh i really don't think she dislikes you i think you're just being needy well i think she needs to apologize formally jenna did you see it jenna is here hi everyone thank you for sorry we asked if we could have an extra microphone and they said they were all out they'd rented them all and then the Zoom couldn't do three people.

We're very sorry. It's our third wheel, groundskeeper Jenna. She's here every week. But hey, it's a big show for you anyway. If you get that later on. And I mean, I've been on Studio 10 before with the goat. That's right. Yeah, that is true.

So we've all had Studio 10. What's the story there again? You were interning. I was interning at the Easter show, the Sydney Royal Easter show. That's right. And I helped bring in some goats for Studio 10 segment about the Easter show. There's like a little flash of her in the corner of the screen. She wasn't meant to be on screen, but like they panned to follow the goat.

Yeah. And you get to see Jenna in the background. A midget hanging in the background of Wizard of Oz. You have to look really closely to find her. They told me not to appear on screen. Oh, did they? Yes, to be. Oh, like the goat is the star, Wizard of Oz. You have to look really closely to find it. They told me not to appear on screen. Oh, did they? Yes, to be... Oh, like the goat is the star, Jenna.

Yes, but then the goat started running, so I had to catch the goat and the camera. Well, we're sorry we couldn't have you on, but you'll have your moment to shine later in the episode, which is nice. Absolutely. I think we should start, really, don't you? Let's get into it.

Let's not muck around. Let's start with the Is It Just Me? It's how we start the show every week, but something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Basically, Mitch, you come with one, I come with one, and neither of us know what we're about to do. This is like a first take for the two of us. That's right. I'm going to do it a little bit differently this week. First things first, we've got Xander on the phone right now. Hi, darling. Hi. Hey, boy. How you going? We're so good. Now, Mitch, I've been chatting with Xander on Instagram and I've asked him to come on to do

an Is It Just You? because I'm interested to hear what you have to say about this in particular. So I'm actually going to forfeit my idgum. I want to kick off the show with this. Alright, you ready to go, Xander? Yes. Alright, hit it, Bradley. Is it just

me or? Do you refuse to let someone stay over your house after you've hooked up with them? Because I don't understand the logic behind it. The logic behind the hookup or the kicking out? Look, I know. Why would you let someone stay over, a random person in your bed? So you're a fan of a root and boot, are you?

That's a fucking lily. Jesus Christ, it's a family program. So hold on, I'm confused. Mitch, do you agree with this? And you've just, like, how has this come about? Well, it's very interesting that this has come up when it has because I've only recently changed my mind on this topic because someone that I hooked up with recently

said to me afterwards, in no uncertain terms, get the hell off my property, please. Oh, you were rooted then booted! And it was such... As any normal person would. Well... Well, this is the thing. I got such a rude shock at first because every hookup in the past of mine,

before this, I'd stayed over. Either me at their place, them at my place. And to me, it's not a big deal. It's like the equivalent of offering a glass of water. It's like, oh, you can crash if you want. Most of the time, there's no discussion. You don't know where that person's been. I mean, okay, having said that, you've just fucked them yes you do they've been in you you

know exactly where they've been like where do you draw the line when it comes to exchanging germs and so i used to be like oh it's fine it's no big deal which i still kind of believe like i'm not fussy about sleeping like i'll crash on someone's couch whatever yeah i'm not it's not a big deal but you crashed on my couch the other week exactly like i don't care i'm not one of those i have to be in my own bed kind of people right yeah yeah but when i was evicted from the home recently did sonny krug appear through the window it's time to go mitchell you're like what the fuck But I was thinking to myself I have lived with my housemate for a year now And he is

I've never once woken up And had someone that he's been hooking up with There the next morning Oh Like he's He's a normal person Yeah exactly He's like you Xander

He just He likes his own space Once he's done with them He's done with them As soon as we're done I need their I need them and their skin particles as far away from my house

as possible. What do you mean by as soon as you're done? Yeah, like are we talking once you've both finished or are you very selfish? Like you get off and then it's like you just take yourself and you know. No, no, not selfish. Okay. I mean you can have a bit of a chat but like just like go then. Like go. Go.

Hold on, sorry. I'm just going to... No, Xander, I'm going to do something., like, go then. Like, go. Go. God, no. You know what? Hold on. Sorry. I'm just going to. I don't want them there anymore. No, Xander, I'm going to do something. Hold on. Wait there. Is it just me or?

Could you not live with yourself if you kick someone out of your home after sleeping with them? Oh, I'd offer them a banana smoothie. Oh, I would watch a YouTube tutorial. I will get the linen out. I'll put it. I could not kick someone out after kissing someone, let alone copulating with someone in my own bed.

I thought you would feel that way. Having said this, my ex-boyfriend, the first time I met him was a hookup, and I let him stay over because I was absolutely just, like, taken aback. I was like, oh, my God, I want him to stay here forever. Right, romantic. That's been the only time ever. But other than that, get out. But what's the problem with it?

You've literally had them in your mouth and in your orifices. It's literally my own insecurities. I just, I just, I just, I just, I don't like it. It's my insecurities keeping them there because I don't want to be hated. Also, what I'm offering isn't exactly a 10 plus service, you know, so I want to make sure they're happy with all the amenities because they might not be thrilled with what I was giving them. You know what I mean?

You're such a table pleaser as well, mate. I know. I knew that you were going to feel this way about this topic. I love that you've dedicated your origin to it as well. You're that passionate. You would just make like breakfast in bed. I don't know. I mean, you kind of just came out of the closet and then you were basically married.

So I know that you're not really that familiar with hookup culture, but I feel like you would be such like you'd probably freak them out with like the clinginess. They'd wake up and you'd be making pancakes. Yeah. You'd leave a towel on the end of the bed. No, crepes, Jenna, crepes. Pancakes are too heavy after penetration. Well, the last time I hooked up with a woman,

God, this feels like eons ago, I did stay the night. But then I did also wake up with a face full of blood. I think I've told that story, haven't I? Oh, did you get a bleeding nose? Well, that's the running theory, but we won't go into the other conspiracies. Yeah, yeah. And I stayed there with a bloody nose.

So literally, nothing would stop me. But so did you, were you offended that he asked you to leave, Mitch? At first, but then I thought about it. And I think some people's brains are just wired differently. People like my housemate, people like Xander on the phone. Like, I reckon that I think that you... I think myself, I think myself, if I went to someone's house for a hookup and then just invited myself to stay afterwards,

that, I don't like, why would you do that? Well, I don't think you invite yourself. to someone's house for a hookup and then just invited myself to stay afterwards that that i don't like why would you do that well i don't think you invite yourself i think it's just been coincidence that every time in the past it just hasn't been anything it's been like oh you can crash if you want or it's insinuated but i had someone come over and then it was we kind of finished and then they were like oh cool um so like later tonight we can blah blah blah blah and i was like well well well well well well sorry, later tonight I have plans of laying in my bed alone. Yeah, a mood. But you have to set boundaries.

You do have to. So you said that the only person you've let stay over has been someone that you had feelings for. Do you reckon that's why people like you, Xander, don't like having hookups sleep over because they're that afraid of commitment? They're like, oh, God, I'm leading them on. They're catching feelings. They have to get out. God, I'm leading them on. They're catching feelings. They have to get out.

Yeah. I'm seeing a psychologist for this. You've just traumatized me even more. Because I'm the opposite. I'm like, to me, it's not like a positive sign or like, oh, they must be into me because they're staying over. It's just not a thing. It's just like, you know, relax, crash if you want.

Look, I am literally seeing a psychologist for commitment issues. For commitment issues? Yeah, so this could be, we might be getting too deep here now. Classic top energy isn't it? Says Queen Bottom herself. Oh! Have you two fucked? There's a weird energy in the room.

I mean, Jenna, are you vibing it too? I am. This is creepy. We haven't fucked, just for the record. Right, but you two are the matching parts. You know what I mean? Anyway. It just feels awkward. No, oh, please.

It's only awkward if you make it awkward. You kick him out. All right, well, thank you, Xander. You're on the Central Coast, aren't you, Xander? I am on the Central Coast. Yeah, no, that's too far for a rootin' boot. If I'm not allowed to fucking stay the night, I'm not going to bother. Yeah, I'd still kick you out if you came up here.

Oh, you two are bloody disgusting. Why don't you find someone to marry and you should start thinking about morals? Oh, God. No, thanks. Well, thank you, Xander. Appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Happy fucking.

You too, bitch. See ya. Bye. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. Hey, what's your vibe on showering with people as well? Someone you've just met, like a hookup.

Oh, no. I tend to think that that's more intimate than just sleeping in someone's bed next to them, just alongside them. You're cleaning the dirt from your body. I know, but some people are into it and they just think it's the cheeky thing to do with a stranger. I'm like, no, like the lights are on for starters. Yeah, yeah. It's nice with a partner, right?

And when you know someone, when you've seen the crevices, no. But with someone you've just met, no thank you. Also, I have very sensitive skin, so I have to have quite cold showers, and the blood pressure, I get quite hot. Really? Hayden hates it because my showers are often maybe 19 degrees. He pumps it right up, that Asian blood. He loves it.

That sounds awful. But we can't shower together because we have different heat body thermometers. It doesn't work. You certainly can't bath together. I try to, and all the thermometers. It doesn't work. You certainly can't bath together. I've tried to. And all the insurance claim after we wet the carpet. Anyway, if you guys want to come on the show and do an Is It Just Me of your own, don't forget you can DM us on Instagram.

We can get you on the phone for a chat or just send us a voice message up to you at couple of Mitch's is where you can find us. Or on TikTok, really. That's the new thing, right? DM us on the talk. I do think you have to be following each other to DM on TikTok? Oh, we don't follow anyone back. I know what I'm doing, right? I said go fucking DM us on Instagram if you want to do

and is it just you? That's how you do it. I was trying to be hip and cool and current. DM us on LinkedIn for business inquiries. Anyway, let's move right along. I'm excited for this year. Me too, yes. I really am. Right now, we'll just pass it over to you, Jenna. It's up to

you. What? Your big moment is finally here, Jenna. It's your time to shine. Yep. I have no idea. So if you're new here, Jenna made the grand claim last week that she is like a whiz in the kitchen and she had this really easy

hack to show us. Yeah. You literally have been saying for weeks that you have a traditional old English hand churned butter recipe that you want to do on the show. So did you get the ingredients that she asked for? Yeah. I literally went to Glee Point Road. Thank God I live in a progressive area because I don't know what the hell a scoby is.

But Jenna sent me the recipe last week and was like, get all these ingredients. Hold on. I can't wait to see this. So there's the ingredients. I've got the scoby in there and the starter. Take it. Thank you. I don't know why we're running this thing.

And then I've got all the ingredients, the salt, and then you've got the cure mixture in the bowl. And then you've got the cheesecloth. So Jenna, take it away when you're ready. Cool. Okay. For someone who's been talking about this for months, you'd think she'd be a tad more confident.

I know, but it's just a secret recipe. Just a family recipe from way back. So what's step one, Jenna, for hand churning your own butter? Yep. So first of all, I'm going to open this cup of

liquid that I am holding. That's a Scobie, Jenna. I had to go all the way to the Glebe markets to get that. Yes, of course. I'm opening a Scobie. Yeah, explain what a Scobie is. It's just old-fashioned.

Why did you want to do this so badly? I have no idea what's going on. Pardon? What do you mean? I'm so confused. Why didn't you bring your recipe and your old family recipe in to follow if you're confused? Yeah, I know. I should have.

Anyway. What is going on? Did you write a... What are you talking about? Do you still have the shopping list that she gave you? Maybe we can read from that. What shopping list? She's forgotten her own recipe.

What is going on? Jenna DM'd me on Thursday and said... No, I didn't. Are we still doing Jenna's Kitchen? I said yes. No, what's Jenna's Kitchen? And then she said, I'll DM you the ingredients. Three days later.

Oh, God. She's got the early onsets. Yeah, she really does. Now I'm scared. Gaslighter, denier, doing anything to get your ass farther. You've been gaslit, Jenna. You've been gaslit!

And that concludes the first ever round of gaslighting Jenna. That wasn't funny. That made me scared. I was like, where did I mention this? Oh, my God, turn her down. Turn her down. Jenna's mine. Yeah, look how much she's peaking.

Oh, very true. God, Jenna. Overwhelming. Calm down. My heart is beating. Why did you just, why did you roll with it? Why didn't you say from the absolute get-go, no, I don't recall fucking agreeing to hand-churning my own cheese

or butter on the fucking podcast? Because I thought maybe I did and then I forgot. We actually gaslit her. She was questioning her own sanity. I felt bad. And then by the end of it, I was like, no, maybe I literally did miss a shit. Of course you didn't. What are you going to do with that shit in the bowl now?

I don't know. What is... Jenna, it's not a scoby. That's miso soup from my Japanese lunch. You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of midges. Nearly time for us to get out of here. But before we do that, let's bring back an old segment that we've really been neglecting.

We've been quite slack with this segment, but we've brought it back in the biggest way possible. Come on, baby. You know you gotta hustle. I think this is one of my favourite segments. You gotta hustle. It's our way of promoting our podcast. And God, it's been a while. We've been really slack with the hustling.

When was the last time we hustled? Was it with Dami M? I think it was, actually, no, it was episode four of season one. You tried to make me, or maybe episode five, you tried to make me prank call someone with a missing pet. Oh, the budgie. That was Jenna's idea, yeah. Oh, come on, no, it wasn't.

It wasn't my idea. I'm gaslighting you now. Well, it's a segment where we just try and get our podcast out there. We try to promote it in unconventional ways. We will plug it wherever, whenever, whatever it takes. Bit by bit, we will grow the audience. But today we've got a big leg up because if you were listening last week to the podcast, you would have heard that we were talking about, oh, how exciting was it when you used

to be featured in the local newspaper as a kid? And so we were like, let's try and achieve that again. Have we got any journalist friends we could reach out to? Andrew Bucklow, a good friend at the news.com.au. 100%. And I thought it can't be that hard to get a local news write-up. I feel like my local newspaper back home, they used to go in-depth about the local swimming carnival results.

So surely two boys doing a podcast wouldn't be a hard sell. We've had no bites so far as far as the local paper goes, but you said let's aim higher. I just was literally throwing caution into the wind. Let's's try for studio 10 and then you put it on twitter sarah harris the anchor of the show heard it and then the next day we were on studio 10 i got a call being like see you're on yeah and so we were like shitting ourselves a little bit we're like oh my god we have hustled hard this time yeah this is the ultimate hustle forget handing out flyers and calling people with missing budgets like we're on national fucking television.

I hope you never find your badge. You are on TV. But the moment of glory was ruined for you a little bit because you're a little bit worried that Kerri-Ann Kennelly, Aussie TV icon. She's brilliant. Was no fan of yours. And I'll admit she was a little bit.

She didn't love us. Let's put it that way. She hated Mitch Curry. No, she didn't hate me! I accidentally made a slur against her dog. You'll hear the audio. But I don't think she's sold or quite understands what a podcast is. I did get a couple of messages being like,

God, Kerri-Ann was a little bit salty towards you guys. Well, I DM'd her trying to get her back on my side, but she hasn't replied. I just said, thank you so much. Why do you care so much about being liked by Kerri-Ann? I just don't know. I don't like knowing there's bad blood. Anyway, you can make up your mind.

Look, anyone who has watched that show, they would know that Kerri-Ann kind of has this dry cynicism about her. Yeah. That's kind of her thing. She often plays like devil's advocate on that show. And so I think that's just what she was doing. She was grilling us a little bit. She was like, who are these young things doing a podcast?

But I wasn't offended. I just thought that's just her being her, but you have not let it go. No, I just, I went home because I finished at midnight, came back, did the cross, went home, tried to nap, couldn't nap. I was just thinking it over and over. What could I have said to Kerri-Ann? What did I say to Kerri-Ann? Did I insult Kerri-Ann? Are we ready to hear? Yes. All right, let's roll it. Well, it seems this global pandemic has given us two things, banana bread and a lot of podcasts. And our mates Mitch and Mitch from Kiss FM are no different. They are on a mission to get a little bit of publicity. Or is it a mission?

I don't want anything big. I just wanted a little corner piece in a local paper that says these two boys are making a podcast. Good on them. Hold on a second. You know Jessica Rowe, don't you? No. Sarah Harris is the one. Yes. Why don't we message

Sarah and see if we can get a like a slot? On Studio 10? Yeah. I don't think that's how it works. I said I want a little bit in the paper, not a segment on Studio 10. Let's aim higher. I was watching this morning and let me tell you they did a story on gum nuts on a tree. They did not. They did!

Alright, well we should go. Wish us luck in getting our little nuts on a tree. They did not. They did. All right, well, we should go. Wish us luck in getting our little feature in a newspaper. Consider us your local rag. Mitch and Mitch, you asked. We delivered. Nice to see you. First of all, Mitch in denim, what gum nut story? Yeah.

No, no, no, no. See, no. You know what? I'm glad you brought this up. You must have us mixed up with Larry and Kylie. We'd never do a story on gum nuts. You're sure? I think it was Better Homes and Gardens.

It was very early. I was confused. And no, I fully take that back. I believe it was Carrie Ann's Labrador the day I was watching. And that was enthralling television. So I take it all back. Golden Retriever. Sorry, Carrie.

I'm so sorry. Carrie Ann. Carrie Ann to you, Mitch. Carrie Ann. Carrie Ann. You just Kerry. I'm so sorry. Kerry? Kerry in to you, Mitch. Kerry in, Kerry in. You just speak. You speak. Come on. All right, fellas, give us your best pitch, Mitch and Mitch.

Why should people listen to your podcast? Well, we like to think of it as giving younger listeners a heads up of all the rude shocks that are going to come with becoming a young adult. So I don't know. How old are your kids now, Sarah? And how old is Amelia? Amelia's 12. She might be right in the sweet spot.

She's too young. Do not let her listen to the podcast. No, she's too young. When she's around 17, she can tune in and we can just be like, hey, heads up, these are all the speed bumps that you might not have expected to happen. Like even recently, this Mitch moved out of home, what was it, two weeks ago? Yeah, for the very first time.

Finally. Yeah. And he didn't realise that houses, every household doesn't just come with a tea towel. You have to buy your own. I thought they were like recycle bins. Every house just had a tea towel. No, no. I thought they gave you the keys, you signed the contract and they go, here you go, he's

a country road tea towel. I just assumed they came with the property. But no, he's worse. Mitch was getting his car serviced and he thought a genuine car part meant that the car part was just honest. Yeah, I did. He had no idea what it meant. It seemed sincere to me, I don't know.

Adulting is very, very hard work. What else have you discovered about having to grow up? Well, I think the thing is also having a podcast is like running. I'm like a small bit. We're a small business owner. We do a segment. This is part of the broader segment. You've got to hustle.

You've got to hustle. You guys know. You've got to hustle, right? We've been doing all sorts of random whack things to try and promote the podcast. We were like this close to handing out flyers. So it's great that you guys have helped us out and had us on today. We appreciate it. But I still really want something that my grandparents can cut out and stick on

the fridge. So fingers crossed, the local paper is watching. It doesn't matter what local paper, we can pretend to be local anywhere. Yeah. Yeah. So you're trying to earn a living and you're doing a podcast. Yes. I know it's absurd. Yeah. I know. Right. Well, that's the thing. Like I know, it's absurd. I know, right? Well, that's the thing. Like I said, younger listeners can listen, but the older listeners, they like to just listen and go, God, aren't millennials stupid?

So there's something for everyone. Okay, so how do you make money? Just give me an example of how you will make money. Have you got a business plan? Well, look, I don't want to accidentally clash with any of your existing clients. Who's a sponsor I can thank? I'll do a credit line. Yeah. Sham wow.

I don't do them anymore. Sham wow. Thanks to Sham wow. This isn't just me. Thanks for tuning in. Fellas, good luck with the podcast. Just quickly, Mitch, before we let you go. Which one? Denim Mitch. Yeah, which Mitch? Say blinds for us.

No, no. Just say it. I'm wrapping up. I'm getting the rap from the producer. Say it. I think it's time to. Say it. Blinds.

He adds an extra syllable to the word blinds. Not intentionally. Blinds. That's an Aussie. It's part of the Aussie vernacular. He has a really hard time saying it. See you, boys. It's part of the Aussie vernacular. He had a really hard time saying it. See you, boys. It's all fire now.

See you, guys. Thanks, guys. See you next time. Kerri-Ann hates you. No, listening back a second time. It's more, everyone else is loving us. The banter is flowing. And then Kerri, talk to me about the fiscal responsibility.

Actually, yeah. At the time, because that was my first time listening back, and at the time it didn't feel as awkward as it just sounded. But, yeah, Kerri-Ann was like, what's this rubbish about? But, like I said, I do think that's just her. Yeah. Only in her bits, though. I mean, and for God's sake, a Labrador and a Golden Creeper

same fucking thing. Don't call me out on a national live television. I'll be invoicing ShamWow just quietly to that crush line. Yeah, that's a good amount of money. Do you know what else I noticed? The Mitch Turing curse strikes again. You know how you have this thing where you accidentally mention rival clients in sponsored content? Oh, I've done that, yeah.

You have a very bad track record. You were dumped by Vision Personal Training because you mentioned Plus Fitness. F45, yeah. You were giving away Eddie Had Flights on your radio show and you thanked Emirates. A business class to London, yeah. We were giving away Red Rooster vouchers

and you mentioned KFC. Oh, yeah, accidentally. Sleep of the town. And now you went on Channel 10 and mentioned Better Homes and Gardens from Channel 7. Is that a Channel 7 program? Yes. Oh, no! Why do you keep doing that? You went on Channel 10 and mentioned Better Homes and Gardens from Channel 7. Is that a Channel 7 program? Yes.

Oh, no. Why do you keep doing that? Who gives a shit? I don't care. She mentioned Larry and Kylie, which is an opposition show to them. So it's all right. She did, actually. That's a very good call. I love how she stumbled at the end when she clearly went for a prep sheet when she was

trying to talk to me. She went, Mitch, fat one in the denim. She couldn't differentiate us. That was fun. For our first TV appearance? Yeah, wow. I still can't believe we managed to pull that off. That was some hardcore hustling.

Neither can I. And that was live, live. Like, that was just straight out. It was. You know what I was thinking about? I was like, we could have just said fuck. Yeah. I always have these, like, intrusive thoughts where I'm like, they've trusted us to go live.

Imagine if we just exploited it. We could have pranked them. Not that we would, but the producers were so trusting in us. They were. It was very nice. It was very nice. It was nice. I mean, they must look at us as media professionals,

which is nice for them to see us on the same page as they do. Look, I know it sounds like I'm ungrateful. Huge opportunity and all. But like I said in that interview, I just, I still want the local paper situation to happen. Like, I really, that was the goal. I still feel like I haven't ticked it off. No, but I'm very satisfied, to be honest.

I know. I know that you love seeing yourself on TV, but like, I just, I wanted to be in the paper. That was what we wanted. Yeah, but you can print out a screenshot of us on the telly and put it on your fridge. It's not the same. My grandparents don't get that thrill of cutting it out

and sticking it up. From a screenshot of a tweet on the fridge. That's true. So what do you mean? We literally have peaked at TV. The next step is getting a billboard. I know. And then Andrew Bucklow from news.com.au,

he said that we can try and tease something up. But news.com.au only just occurred to me. That's online. That's not a just occurred to me. That's online. That's not a bloody newspaper. Digital. That's a print. Oh, so you want old school, bonfied, printout, butcher's paper. Yeah, but we're not going to get into the InnoWest Courier or the bloody Daily Telegraph.

Well, we called the InnoWest Courier and the Daily Telegraph. That's right. We did that last week. Do you have a local paper back home? Yeah, I used to do work placement at the local paper back home. The Forbes Advocate. I used to do one placement at the local paper back home. The Forbes advocate. I used to do one day a week there instead of going to school. God's sake, I can see the headline

now! Previous worker to Forbes advocate. No, but it's awkward because I don't know anyone that works there anymore. I think all the journalists that were there when I was there have left, so I don't know. They probably don't even know who I am. Who cares? Of course they will. Well, then let's ring them right now. Jenna, what's the number for forbes yes forbes advocate okay please call them let's get it i could be

wrong but i'm pretty sure my next door neighbor kathy is the ad works in reception still oh my god if it's kathy that answers will she know who you are i'll say i represent you because that makes you sound bigger than you are we did that last week and then jenna you'd be my pa right go hi just patching you through.

Parks Champion Post is the local paper. Who else in the area? Let me have a look. I mean, I'd be happy with a fucking newsletter at this point. Yeah. Should we try the Parks Champion Post? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go for it.

Okay. It is 6862-2322. God, you'd hope there wasn't a bloody local boy stuck in a well. After 4.30, we don't give a shit. Thank you for calling the Parks Champion. No. It's the same robot. To help direct your call, please choose from the following options.

For classified advertising and general inquiry, press 1. You know that Bodengate is in the Parks Tri, so it might actually make more sense to pitch to them. For display and online advertising, press 2. I missed the first one. Or for editorial, please press 3. Got it. Okay. Thank you.

For Christine Little, press one. Oh, do we like her? Author Bal Greaves, please press two. Bal Greaves? I think two. Who the fuck is Bal Greaves? I think Bal. Who votes Bal?

What can I do for you? That's good. Hey, listen, I think I've got a good write-up for you, maybe front-page material. Yes? So I work at Kiss FM in Sydney, Big Smoke. That's good. Hey, listen, I think I've got a good write-up for you, maybe front-page material. Yes. So I work at Kiss FM in Sydney, Big Smoke, with Mitchell Coombs, who's a local Parks boy, a local, you know, like a pig. He certainly is.

Oh, you know him? Yes. I've heard of him. I don't know him. Yes, yes, yes. Well, I don't know him that well either, but he's got quite a big name in the city. He's making quite a – I represent him, you see,

but I have never really met him or worked with him. But he's signed up with our agency. And I was thinking, he's just started this Gangbusters podcast. It's blowing up in the city. And it was just on Studio 10 this morning on national television. He was on Spruce in it. And we had a meeting with him and his team today. All his team sat down and all 10 of us were like, you know what?

We should try and get him back where his roots are from and get him a write-up in the paper. He's blown up. We love doing stories about people. I love hearing about the Bogengate boys or old footy players, old hockey players, whatever it may be. So they love hearing about that. Oh,villea Boys or old footy players, old hockey players, whatever it may be. So they love hearing about that. Oh, 100%. I'd love it.

Great. All right. Well, I'll give you my email. So it's Mitchell.Turee at gmail.com. Was there a dot in there, Mitchell? Yeah. So Mitchell.Turee at gmail.com. Oh, perfect. Yeah, so Mitchell.Turee at gmail.com. Oh, perfect.

Yeah, same name. Okay. Yeah. Oh, I absolutely can get something in motion. Well, I'm down. By the way, I host the podcast with him, so I actually do the show with him. So I'm sort of... I'm going to check it out.

Yeah, it's called A Couple of Mitches. So obviously I'm Mitchell Turee, he's Mitchell Coombs. So yeah, on Instagram, at Couple of Mitches. So obviously I'm Mitchell Cheery, he's Mitchell Coombs. So yeah, on Instagram, at Couple of Mitches. I'm going to check it out. Yeah, check it out. If you need anything, I can send you some links and I can send you audio and photos in high definition if you want it. I say we get it printed, you know what I mean?

Absolutely. And I'm actually on my own at the paper next week, so I can do whatever I want, really. Oh, okay. How much do I have to pay you to get front page? We'll see. All right. I can usually be bought with a beer.

All right, I'll send you a case. And you know what? I think his great beautiful grandparents still live in Bougainvillea. So I think they'll get a real kick out of that. And that's our target market, to be honest. Yeah. They're the people that love these stories. Yeah, the oldies.

Their friends and their daughters and sons' friends and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. We love it. It's nice to see the story. No, I can absolutely get something in. Brilliant. All right. Next Tuesday or Friday's paper. Yeah, oh. We love it. It's nice to see your story. Well, I can absolutely get something in. Brilliant. All right. Either Tuesday or next Tuesday or Friday's paper.

Yeah, oh, brilliant. For sure. Let's do both. Double, double spreader. We can even plug it on our Instagram. I think so, too. Give us a tag and we'll reshare. Yeah, for sure.

All right. Well, are you a beer? Because we're doing front page, right? I've written that down, front page. I got you. You've got my email. I'm not sure I have a front page for Friday. Oh, really?

Oh, my God. If you've got a picture. Yeah. Anything with good quality pictures. It doesn't have to be, not the definition, but, you know, people smiling, people in them, anything with people in them. I don't know if you know him, but he doesn't smile all the time. He can be a bit grumpy. He can be a bit grumpy.

He can be a bit grump. That's all right. That can be something all in itself, can't it? Yeah, exactly right. Yes, the many signs to the Bougainvillea boy, you know. Anywho. All right, love you to bits. You've got my email.

You send it my way, and we'll go from there, okay? I will, and look forward to it. Sounds good. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. You've got my email. You send it my way and we'll go from there, okay? I will and look forward to it. Sounds good. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. You have a good day. Thanks for that. See ya. Oh my god. I'm thrilled. We did it. I'm going to be on the cover of the Champion post. On both

days. On Tuesday and Friday. Wow. You're really good at negotiating, aren't you? Yeah, I was hard-ass too. All she wanted was a beer. I would have paid her a hundred bucks. I feel like we need to start brainstorming the prank calls before you do them, rather than just diving in.

Because you started by firstly saying your workplace. Yes. So you told the truth. And there's ten people. And then you reverted back to a lie. You're like, I represent him. I've never worked with him. It's like, what are you talking about?

We really went back and forth, but it worked. Are you in character or not? I can't believe it. We made it. Well, now I do feel fulfilled. Studio 10 and the Champion Post. God. What's next?

60 Minutes? Imagine that. Oh, that'd be lovely. Get you to prank call them next week. Oh, yeah. Sandra Sally online. Get her on. Wow.

Sorry, I'm just on such a high. I can't even think about what just happened. You're in the paper. Well, I will be. Also, are we in the paper? Because I want to be, you know? I want to be in the paper. Wake up.

Don't mention it. That photo is going to be of us. Oh, I can crop honey. I'm not stupid. But you did. I feel like I should return the favor and call your paper maybe next week or something. Not now. But, like, I don't favour and call your paper maybe next week or something. Not now. But I don't think I'm as good at negotiating like you are.

That was a strong fucking pitch. Thank you. Can someone call for me? Can someone call for me? Where would we call, Jenna? I don't know. The Dubbo Gazette. The Dubbo Liberal.

Thank you. I reckon, you know what, we even aim lower for me. We can talk about that later. Like school newsletter. I don't need paper. You know, that's just as exciting, to be honest. you um i reckon you know what we even aim lower for me we can talk about that later like school newsletter i don't need paper you know that's just as exciting to be honest yeah the school newsletter is a big cat it's all like we said all the sporting kids never the drama boys no that's true so where did you go to school wooloware high school what why was that funny oh okay all right well i'll call them not now've gone over time, but let's call them next week.

I'll call your high school and be like, mate. Actually, it's probably more convincing if I'm a woman. Yeah, yeah. Hi, I'm Therese. I work for RGM Management and my client, Mitch Turi, he's just, anyway, we'll work on that. Don't impersonate my manager. Well done, TV press in one day.

We gaslit. Jenna, this is our dream show. Oh, what a weird podcast. Yeah, it really was. Thanks for listening. Leave us a five-star review if you want. We're growing there, but, you know, if you've got nothing else to do, tap five stars and write one.

It means the world to us. And you can join our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots. It's where you can hang out. That's where all our favourite listeners like to live. Next week we've got another guest host joining us, so looking forward to that. It'll be fun. That's it for us for now.

Hey, we'll catch you next week. See you later, guys. Thanks for listening. Bye-bye. See you. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. Bauer. Bauer just tweeted out, said, I'm resigned from the Gazette. Well, we knew that because he didn't answer his phone.

We keep this segment a secret because it's a little bit embarrassing. Like, we just carry on and go rogue. There's nothing planned, so. It's not our best work, which is why we keep it hidden for you guys only. But sometimes it is. This is where the Studio 10 inception happened. That's true, it did. Most of our best bits come from here.

Was Blyans in this bit? No. That was as we were wrapping up the show, I think. Oh, right. Yeah, the best bits happen in the non-planned moments. I can't believe Sarah Harris brought up the Blyans thing. I know. Mitch, in the denim with the blood pressure.

Say Blyans. God, she is a real, like, just talent, isn't she? Yeah, she's so down to earth, you know. Yeah, and keeps that show going and just angers the shit out of it. Unlike Kerri-Ann, I'm not impressed, Kennelly. Unlike Kerri-Ann, how will you make money off that, Kennelly? Oh, my God. Do you know how tempted I was?

I wouldn't say this normally because it's a secret segment only. You guys can keep this on the deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Do you know how tempted I was to say, Oh, I don't know, Kerri-Ann, what's your business plan now that you've been made redundant? Oh, dear. Because she, I'm pretty sure this could be her last week

or maybe last two weeks on Studio 10. It was announced recently that she was part of the redundancy cuts. Oh, my God. So we literally. And she's grilling us about how you're going to make money on a podcast. And what's your business plan? Jesus. So we made history.

We were in one of the last interviews of Kerri-Ann's nah she'll be back will she i don't know on sky or something yeah of course yeah it wouldn't surprise me to gb but yes don't be offended i'm telling you that's his her that's what she's like no i'm not that offended really listening back it was more awkward than it felt maybe because we were on a high for those who've done television in retrospect those listening probably not many people have but it it just sort of happens, doesn't it? And then it's done. Yeah, pretty much. It's like, shit, that really flew by.

It was weird because it was on Zoom. The first time I did a live across the Studio 10, they sent the camera crew out and I still haven't watched it because I went upstairs and I said to someone in the office, how was it? And they were like, oh, the delay was so awkward. It was like you were fucking an international correspondent in like beirut oh and there was some satellite delay where it was like hi mitch thanks for joining us it's great to be here guys yeah

apparently it was quite awkward and i still haven haven't watched it because I've been told that it was a bit awkward, the delay. But that was over Zoom and it was fine. Yeah. It was barely a delay at all. I honestly didn't feel a delay. And we only had one AirPod in each. We were sharing it like a couple on a flight. We just had one AirPod in each ear.

I would never share AirPods on a flight. No, I have one of those AirPod splitters. You sort of plug it in and then you split the earphones. Even that sounds shit. Just listen to your own thing. True. Either talk or don't. Yeah, you're not wrong.

Don't listen to the same thing. I'm the only one with this issue, guys. You're both very single, so. Oh, God. If I ever got in a relationship with someone that wanted to share AirPods. No. I would be just livid. I'd be like, how did I get here?

Mine are very waxy as well. No, but like, I'm assuming you split them. Hayden's got his own. Yeah. Why can't he just listen to his own fucking music? Because if you're watching a movie or something, it's not his own music. Oh, okay. That's different.

And with AirPods now, you can only have one in. I think you can split two. You can connect two devices now. Yeah. I just don't have the attention span for films. And so if I was sharing AirPods with someone on on a flight I wouldn't want to feel rude and be like, can we fucking not? Can we get rid of this? I also don't have wifi

at my place still and it's been a month in a couple days. Oh really? Yeah, no wifi, can you believe? I'm glad you didn't fact check me on Studio 10 by the way. I said you moved out two weeks ago. Yeah, was it two weeks? I don't even know anymore. You reckon it's a month anyway. I think it's a month. We moved in on the 7th and it's almost.

We're getting there. This will be out on the 7th. So it's been a month when you're hearing this. Jenna, why don't you have a drink of that cheese milk you made? No, it's okay. Give it a go. No, it's all good. I can't believe how long she ran with it.

What did you think was happening? Did you think you were having a stroke? At first I thought you were joking, but then you all went along with it and I thought, oh, my memory's playing tricks with me again. Yes, you thought you were having a stroke? At first I thought you were joking, but then you all went along with it and I thought, oh, my memory's playing tricks with me again. Yes, you thought you were me. Having memory issues. Yes. Yes.

She really is just the queen of fucking fake it till you make it, isn't she? She rocks up here every week unprepared and just kind of goes with the flow to the point where she just commits to shit like that and goes, all right, I guess I'm hand-turning'm hand churning cheese today like how the fuck no but then you were going on about instagram messages and stuff and i thought what did i do we really layered the lie didn't we yes have you ever hand churned anything in your life i don't know what hand churning is no i don't think you shake it up in a bottle though i have no have no... No, of course not. I have... I've made butter, though, myself.

It's very easy. Really? Yeah, you just get milk and you shake it until the milk separates. Oh, so you do shake it? Yeah, you do shake it. But, like, you churn it. Like... I don't know what that means.

Churning is, like, there's pressure involved. Like, they used to put it in wooden barrels, cut a hole in the top, and then, like, push a stick in, and that would, like... Like a French press coffee machine. You do that and you turn it into butter. Oh. Yeah. So, thanks for that, Jenna. I'm that and you turn it into butter. Oh. Yeah. So thanks for that, Jenna.

I'm still so confused. It's fine. Don't worry. We won't do it again. It's fine. We'll never do it again. Please don't. No, we won't.

But I am exhausted from this morning, guys. I've got to go to confession. What time did you get up? 6.30. But I fell asleep at 1.30. I didn't get home until midnight. I was working at 12. I know, but then you were here for half an hour and you went back home.30 I didn't get home till midnight I was working at 12 I know but then you were here for half an hour

And you went back home again I couldn't sleep I didn't sleep Tossing and turning Thinking of Kerri-Ann's Gaming ways How are you going to make money? How are you going to make money?

How are you going to make money? Hovering over me with a Botox What's your business plan? What's your business plan? What's with that? You know what we should have said? We would have been like Kerri-Ann I'm glad you asked Your business plan's right's with that? You know what we should have said? We'd be like, Kerri-Ann, I'm glad you asked.

Your business plan's right here. It's got our summary here and our total earnings so far have been the square root of fuck all. How do you like that? Cack. I wonder what she would have said. We could not have made a redundancy joke. They would have pulled us from the air. Although there was no delay, so it would have made great TV.

And they don't have a dump system, I'm pretty sure. So they have to just run with it. Like, if someone swears or whatever on TV, it's too late. It's already out there. If you look up on Google or something, can you play that through the system? Studio 10 swearing live on air. I don't know, because I know it's happened before. And TV, like live TV, even Sunrise, they don't have that situation

where you can just dump like kiss fm why would they not put it in even a 10 second delay 10 seconds nothing but like even the other week christina knew was on the project and swore really yeah here we go the bachelor australia love has been on the mind of bachelors australia rachel drops f-bomb on morning tv it's a nine minute audio i remember writing about this. Someone in the comments, 716 is what you've come for. Those people what legends. Here we go, let's do it. I'll just leave it

with a simple one. Fucking dog. Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! We cannot say that on TV, girls! We better wrap this up. Do not miss The Bachelorette tonight at 7. It's live. This is studio 10.

I'm sorry, I don't watch TV. Thank you, Rachel. Thank you so much. God, let's take a break. We are catching up on all the showbiz right after this. See you soon. Oh, they look pissed off too. Well, she was a bit attitude-y.

I don't watch TV. Yeah, that was a bit bitchy. Who is in the background? This is Studio 10, ladies! I think that was Ange Bishop, wasn't it? Imagine if we said those exact words to Kerri-Ann, though. Ha ha, fucking dog! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh my God, look at all the comments. The ACC is going... But you wouldn't get in trouble for that, would you? Or you would. You'd get fined. I think it's no fault of their own, really. I've let F-bombs slip out on the air sometimes. Have you?

I've let one in a call. I didn't notice it, and I just, you know, shuffled along very quickly. Anyway. Oh, there we go. There's Kerri-Ann. She says, I do love you both. No, she said, I hate you, Mitch Chury. No, she didn't.

She said, I love you at Mitch Chury. Not sure about the girl, though. Oh, man. Love Mitchell Coombs. Mitch Chury. No, she didn't. She said, I love you, at Mitch Chury. Not sure about the girl, though. Oh, Mitch. Love Mitchell Coombs. Mitch Chury, no good. Diane Hale. Jo Hildebrand. Love you both.

Ange Bishop. So funny, even the fat one. They're all just coming through hot and heavy. Narelda Jones. Is that her name? Narelda Jacobs. Narelda Jacobs. Just says one word.

Fantastic. That's nice. So I found this TikTok challenge that I want you to do. Yeah. You know how I've I want you to do. Yeah. You know how I've been getting you to do them in AD debrief? Yes. There was the try laugh without smiling challenge. We nailed that.

Which didn't go viral. I thought it was funny. And neither did my Sims one. I mean, okay, I'll be just not going to do it anymore because they didn't go viral. It's just a bit of fun, fuckwit. You put up a photo in your car, got pooed on by a bird, million views. What? Oh, I blow dry my hair million views stupid algorithm no we won't do it then no do it i want to do it i want

to now you've ruined it no i haven't i want to do it all right well anyone if you spot a tiktok challenge that you want either of us to do yeah add brief is where it'll happen so shoot it on through i wanted to do the wopAP dance, but unless I'm nominated, then I won't do it. Do it. I nominate you. I'm too tired to do it, actually. I shouldn't have brought it up.

Oh, you did. I couldn't do it. Also, I'm still on a fucking high from getting you in the bloody Batuta Advocate or whatever it's called. Batuta Advocate. The Parks Champion Post. The Parks Champion Post. Are you feeling good? What would you do if I took this opportunity and then I used the paper

to plug the Schnitty Committee, my other podcast. I would leave. I'd resign. Oh, God. I would resign. You have to change all the branding, just Mitch, not couple.

Just the Mitches. Just one Mitch, no plural. Have you ever thought about what you would do if I was away one week? Yeah, of course. What would you do? I'd just get in a fill-in house.

I've got many celebrity friends. Sophie Monk would come on. Yeah, but what about all the things I do? What would you do? I'd just get in a fill-in house. I've got many celebrity friends. Like who? Sophie Monk would come on. Yeah, but what about all the things I do? What do you mean? I mean, other than jumping in your brain and actually physically speaking your words for you, I do bloody everything around here. Yeah, I wouldn't have to edit, though. I'm smart enough to record in one go.

I barely edit anymore anyway. Oh, shit. That's Julia Morris. Should we put her on? Why is she calling? For the Masked Singer, because she's calling for my show. Why did you not think to tell us? I forgot to tell you.

Oh, well, ask her if she wants to be on our podcast while she's here. No, she will, but I'll have to do some radio chat. Fine, I'll fast forward through all that shit. Yeah, okay, go. Hey, Anthony. Hello, is that Mitch? Oh, is this Julia? It really is.

Oh, Jesus. Normally there's like a PR person who speaks first and goes, don't swear at Julia, don't be rude to the celebrities, don't say any F word. Jeez, are you doing the PR work off your own iPhone, Julia? You know what? Anthony has been working like a crazy person since like 6 this morning. Yes.

I've taken a load off. I can use my fingers to dial a number. Look at you, so down to earth and real. Ellen could never. Ellen would never be able to. She wouldn't even know where to find the number on the email, mate. She would have no idea. Hey, listen, can I quickly add my co-host in for my podcast?

Do you mind having a little extra chat for us? Yeah, absolutely. God, you're good. His name's Mitch as well. There's two Mitches here. Hi, Julia. How are you? Squared. Oh, my podcast. Do you mind having a little extra chat for us? Yeah, absolutely. God, you're good. His name's Mitch as well. There's two Mitches here. Hi, Julia. How are you? Squared. Oh my God, I'm in vintage form to be honest. I'm so jolly good now that all the secrets are out.

Oh, that's great. I'm sorry to just chime in here, but I just wanted to let you know that I bloody came to a few of your shows and I've actually stolen one of your jokes and kind of claimed it as my own. I love it. So you came out on the Logie stage once and you just said, oh, she's gotten so thin. Can you stand it? And I've kind of taken the phrase

can you stand it? And I say it all the time to the point that my Instagram followers will comment on my photos like, oh, can you stand it? They think it's my thing but I fucking stole it from you, Julia. You know what? Nothing's new. Absolutely not. Someone back in the 1800s was like, can you totally stand it?

You know, it's all words everybody's said before, whether it's in that order or not. I'm just like, share and share a lot. Yeah, I feel like that's what Captain Cook would have said when he landed in Cornell. He went, can you stand it? He would have loved it. Can you imagine? He would have been like, get me around the bed a long time, sweet

doll. It's a compliment. What is it? Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Yeah. Surely. Absolutely. Yeah, I couldn't dig it more. And also, there's very few people who can actually stand it, so it's important to point it out. True, it's quite literal. Yeah, I couldn't dig it more. And also, there's very few people who can actually stand it, so it's important to try it out.

True, it's quite literal. Yeah, yeah. It's just my favourite. It's such a mood. Like, oh, God, can you stand it? Yeah. Oh, no. Do you hear me say that all the time, Mitchell?

He does say it all the time, yeah. He almost uses it as like a compliment too. I'm like, you look good. He's like, oh, can you stand it? Like, it's very versatile. He catches a slice of me is what i'm thinking as well he's just got to do it i mean 2020 it really feels like it keeps dishing up another whole level of can you stand it i mean i can't stand it that'd be a good name for the next stand-up special jules can you stand it absolutely well i'm ready to go uh there's a tour um coming

up that just keeps getting postponed. Every time the government are like, three people can be together at any one time. Yeah, right. Do you have a date locked in yet or is it still all just tentative? Well, it was meant to. I mean, I'm meant to be on the road as we speak. So it definitely looks like early in that first lockdown that it just simply wasn't going to be possible, particularly when it's closed, all the theatres and tra-la-la, whatever. Oh, and you're in Melbourne, right? Yeah.

So we handballed it on until May and I'm crossing everything that we are going to be returning to some sort of normality by May. But I mean, who would know? Yeah, I feel like May, that's not too absurd. I've seen some billboards advertising like musicals, like Frozen in Sydney starts in November, and I'm like, babe. Not going to happen. I don't think so.

Back to your castle, Elsa. Now is it past. Yeah. It's just not even past. Well, the other thing is, you know, the government very kindly, to give the arts community a break, they said, well, you can open the theatre, but you can only have 25% capacity. And if you're playing to 25% of the theatre, but you can only have 25% capacity. And if you're playing to 25% of the house, what you're actually doing is you are physically,

personally paying for the other 75% of the seats to entertain 25% of the people. Not worth it. I don't really see how that math works out. How is that helping us? Have them over to your house for a bloody dinner. It'd be cheaper. I could send food round to everybody's house and it'd be cheaper. Yeah. Do you know what though? Because our

podcast, Mitch, like we're very happy with the amount of listeners we get, but it's not exactly setting the world on fire. We should just fucking like rent out the opera house and just claim that, oh, we would love to have had the full house, but we haven't. It's a strict limit, 25% capacity, but really that's all we can feel. That's actually really smart.

I love it. That's actually really smart. I love it. That's actually really smart. Live at the Opera House just with three people in seats. Yeah, it's all we could do. It's all we could do. We're no Julia Morris. I actually saw you at the Opera House and bloody hell, I got like the nosebleed seats up the back.

They sold out so quick. Oh, I know. Well, the Opera House is such a beautiful venue and I think not only does it have obviously an incredible mailing list of people who want to see things at the Opera House is such a beautiful venue. And I think not only does it have, obviously, an incredible mailing list of people who want to see things at the Opera House, because every time you step out, it totally feels like the best night out ever. And every time I get down there, I think, why am I not here all the time? Yeah.

You feel like you're living in a postcard. It's so glorious. And it's always an honour to perform there. There's no two ways about it, you know. It's such a great venue. Well, we can't wait to have you back on our stages. You're on our screens. Masked Singer, we love you.

Julia Morris, thank you for coming on. Oh, my double bitches. Double trouble. Can you stand it? Oh, my God, it's my Mitch Squared. We love it. Thanks, Jules. And now you can hang up your own call.

You've got to move on to the next. You hope you're getting paid for this PR work. It's way too groovy. Can you believe it? I'm going to dial my own numbers. I'm really down. See you, Jules. Thank you.

Love you, guys. Thanks for including me. Bye. See you. Bye. I've got to do this more often, just hang around your studio and just interject. That's all I do. They get along with you more than they do me.

At least you know. You know about her. I didn't know any of those things about her stand-up or can you just start like letting me know every guest you have on because i feel like in many cases i give more of a fuck about them than you and i actually don't say that i didn't fuck about she she won a singing reality show yes like i didn't even have to research her i just had all these things i wanted to say But most of the people I get are musicians. You wouldn't give a shit. Oh, like who? Like Kygo. What would you ask Kygo if he came on?

Oh, Kygo. Didn't he bloody bring Whitney Houston back from the dead? That must have been nice. Well, don't he do? What was it like working with Selena Gomez? Very true. I don't need help. I'm fine with the musos. It's just when these people come on. You know, can you stand it? She loved that too. What a compliment that was. Yeah, I had to tell her.

You do say that all the time. I know. Can you stand it? Remember when we went on that road trip and he hit that old woman? He went, can you stand it? And Mitch, I don't really think that's an appropriate thing to say. You've hit the woman. Anyway, we should go. It's been a big day. I'm delusional. I'm tired. Yeah, we should go.

I'm not making sense. And I have a national broadcasted show to do. Okay. You haven't mentioned that. Nice sympathy. I didn't know that. Shut up, Jenna. I'll make you churn butter for real. Shut up! What do you mean, nice sympathy? What do you want me to say? Oh, you poor thing. We should go. I'll buy

you dinner for free or something. Why would I do that? I don't know! I need to have a nap. I might have a nap in the green room where we hold the celebrities. Oh, you're doing that thing. What thing?

I don't know if I've told you about this, but over on my other podcast, Schnitty Committee, I've started calling Talisha out for this thing that she always does right as we're about to wrap.

Oh, is she verbal? She just starts thinking out loud. Like, I'll be like, all right, guys, thanks so much for listening. We'll catch you back next. Like, I'll be like, all right, guys, thanks so much for listening. We'll catch you back next week. And she'll be like, I really need to get my roots redone. And I'm like, babe, keep it to yourself.

And you're there going, I might have a nap in the green room. That's a thought. Yeah, but that is topical to me being tired doing my radio show. But we're rapping. I know, but it's an AD debrief. We've already rapped. This is the loose rap. Yeah.

It's not like you've mentioned that you're tired a hundred times before. Listen here, Jenna. I've added you to the opener. I can remove you just as easy. Back next week, there is a special guest host, but we won't say much more on that. Yeah. Surprise, surprise. Not really.

If you're wanting more. Anyway, we'll see you then. If you haven't seen the footage of Studio 10, it is on all our socials at Couple of Mitches. Yes. You've got to go check out Mitch's facial expression when fucking Carrie Ann was basically just like grilling him about his business plan. Yeah, it was tragic. That's like on Celebrity Apprentice when Mark Burris is always like, and what will you do

to get investors? You know, Julia Morris won. Oh, she did. Now, that I did not. The first season. That's not, that doesn't relate to any of the singing questions, though. No. Anyway, see you next week, guys.

Bye. Thanks for listening. See ya.
