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 Commodore 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 Janet'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 Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, happy one year.
G'day, g'day, happy anniversary, darling.
Oh, I had the happy birthday bed ready to go.
Well, yes, double whammy, it's your birthday as well.
What the hell?
It's Alvin and the Chipmunks.
It's all I could find.
It's royalty free.
I don't like it.
So it's gone now.
Back to the show bed.
Anyway, October 4th on this day, 2019, this podcast kicked off.
And then 25 years ago on September 31st or 30th.
30 days have September.
Yeah, yeah, cool.
You were born.
God, what a special show today is.
We said last week, we said that I was going to organise some birthday stuff.
You were going to organise some anniversary stuff.
Yep.
So what have we got prepared?
Jen has done nothing.
Well, I've got everyone, cover your eyes.
Oh, hello.
Bought a bottle of Shandong.
Oh my God, Shandong.
Yeah, the pink one too, to match the show.
Money bags, cheery. I've got some flutes here. I know the pink one, too, to match the show. Money bags, cheering.
I've got some flutes here.
I know.
I'm like, this or rent?
This.
I would have been happy with bloody passion.
No, hang on.
Be careful.
Oh, I'm scared.
Oh, no, I bought plastic bags because we get very, you know.
There were some people in this office that weren't impressed when I opened that shaken up bottle of Coke.
So let's be careful.
I've got an IGA bag to put it over the top.
There we go.
It's definitely not shaken up, is it?
No, God, no. Hold it over
the bin as well. Oh, I'm really scared. I did drive
here over the Harbour Bridge,
so maybe there's... Alright, three, two,
one. Happy
one year!
I broke the bag!
It did break the bag!
Happy anniversary.
Lovely. Let me pour you guys some.
And Jenny, you've stuck by us as our third wheel this whole time.
Look at you go.
I know.
I can't believe I didn't.
Did you ever have any doubts in the start, Jenna?
I still have doubts.
Yeah, me too.
This is like a one-year anniversary.
Who here has had a one-year anniversary with a partner?
Don't rub it in.
Sorry.
It's a beautiful moment.
What are we doing on the show, actually?
Well, we are doing another Q&A.
The last one we did for the end of season one did well,
and we didn't get through them all,
so we've asked our listeners to send some more in
to celebrate our one year.
Anything they might have wondered during our one year
doing this bloody podcast.
Thank you very much.
I'm passing the shampoo.
Cheers.
Cheers, everyone.
Cheers in the middle.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Happy anniversary.
Yay! Oh, it's pink and everything. You know me we go. Three, two, one. Happy anniversary.
Oh, it's pink and everything.
You know me so well.
Well, they didn't have yellow.
That's just normal champagne.
So I get pink to celebrate the colours of Ijum.
And what a journey it's been.
Shall we reminisce?
Oh, you can have a sip on it.
We'll reminisce later during the Q&A, I imagine.
Oh, wow.
Now, obviously, it's your birthday as well.
I've got a couple of things. I don't want to blow my load early.
No, please don't.
So there's a few things that I want to get through.
Do you want to do, like, gifts now and then another surprise later?
I've got gifts.
Well, I've got a gift to start with.
Jenna, did you get him something?
I did.
Good.
Okay.
The plural works.
Gifts.
Yes.
Hold on.
Jenna sounds lovely.
I did.
I got him a gift. And yours is,, you know, I got you a gift.
Well, I've been saying the last couple of weeks that I'm not sure how you're going to
feel about it because it's not something that I would have imagined you would ask for, but
it's something I feel you should have.
Well, I get very awkward asking for gifts.
Even mum was like, what do you want this year?
I'm like, I just buy everything I want.
Exactly.
That's the problem.
I wanted a VR headset the other day watching on YouTube.
The next day it was there. Amazon Express. I haven't used it once, but I wanted it. Why did you want it? I don. Exactly. That's the problem. I wanted a VR headset the other day watching on YouTube. The next day it was there.
Amazon Express.
I haven't used it once, but I wanted it.
Why did you want it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Some YouTuber had it.
Okay.
Well, here it is.
Here's your present.
Oh, my God.
Should we have gift giving music?
No, it's fine.
Here we go.
It's not a tea towel.
That's for sure.
No, it's not a tea towel.
It feels like it.
I brought party hats just for the vibe, if anyone wants them.
Pass them.
I'm downing this shandong.
I should eat the pink one.
Oh, I want the green one.
Oh, you take green.
What's left over?
Oh, yellow.
Gold.
Perfect.
Toss it this way.
Okay, so the gift.
Open up.
Let's not muck around here.
Okay, here we go.
This is ridiculous.
What's ridiculous about it?
There's many!
Yes.
There's plural.
It's a beautiful gift.
Oh, my God!
Look at that.
Was this an earring?
It's a butt plug training kit.
Oh!
You work your way up in size.
Oh!
Now, I know you're one of those, I'm a top only kind of guys.
No, I don't say that.
It makes me sad to think that there's so many men out there that will never experience the
male G's for it.
I know that you're one of those, oh, the back doors, an exit, not an entrance.
These are all your words.
No, we've had this discussion.
No, they're yours.
You didn't get these off Marketplace, did you?
They're brand new?
They're brand new.
Good.
Now, here's where it gets really interesting.
I'm going to open the smallest one here.
When you ask me where I got it from,
Yeah.
Look at it.
people can actually buy this exact butt plug kit.
Yeah.
And it's named after you.
What is it?
So, I'm just going to hand you a printout here.
Yeah.
What do you mean it's named after me? This is the Is It Just Me sex shop. What? I'm just going to hand you a printout here. What do you mean it's named after me?
This is the Is It Just Me sex shop.
What?
I'm not even kidding.
Everyone, head to atyourservix.store.
No!
My housemate Jordan set up his own sex toy shop and there's an Is It Just Me range.
So, we have the Cheery Butt Plug Kit.
The Cheery Special!
We have Mitchell's Clever Corn for your corn hole.
Oh, dear.
Which is a dildo.
It's got like, you know, a corn-like consistency to it.
Yeah.
And then over the page, well, Jenna's range.
That's what we've got the most amount of things.
Oh, my goodness.
Jenna's medieval chastity belt.
Plural.
That's my personal favourite.
And then we've got a cat mask, Jenna After Dark.
Okay. and then the
last one this is the most exciting very exciting it's called jenna's junk you pay 15 and it's a
lucky dip so it's like a mystery surprise sex toy oh you select whether you want male female or
surprise me yeah and then for 15 bucks we'll find out what junk Jenna's got in her trunk.
Oh, yeah.
And it'll be sent your way as a surprise.
And there's a lot of junk in there.
There sure is.
We've seen it.
This product is simple.
Jenna has a lot of junk in her trunk and we need to get rid of it.
Yeah.
Look at the chastity belt.
That was like something you walk a rough dog with.
That's what we had in medieval times.
I'm sure you did.
But it's 2020.
Jenna after dark.
Yes. It's like some sort of dog mask. I'm sure you did, but it's 2020. Jenna After Dark. Yes.
It's like some sort of dog mask.
No, it's a cat.
Jury special.
Oh, my God, this one's tiny.
Look at it.
God, I'd sit down on that one and get lost inside of me.
Oh, God.
For those listening at home, ladies and gents,
it looks like a push pop, like a ring.
It does actually.
You know a ring pop?
It's got a very thick silicon band,
and then it sort of goes up really thin and then
all of a sudden it looks like Pingu's head.
A little penguin claymation thing.
It does. You can go see what it looks like
at your cervix.store.
What a lovely gift. Our listeners
have been asking for merch. Well, this is
sort of somewhere in that
direction. We've got our own sex toy range.
Oh my god, imagine if I had my face on it.
Put me in ya. That is a beautiful gift.
Thank you, Mitchell.
Is that not what you were expecting?
Not at all.
A butt plug training kit, and it's also available for purchase.
I thought I was getting an hoodie.
Thank you.
Jenna, are you involved in this?
I was aware of it.
Is y'all some sort of...
I need some more Shandon after that bullshit.
I'm going to have to ask Jordan whose sex toy sells the most.
Yeah, true.
Is this still live now?
Yeah, it is.
Thank you.
What a beautiful gift.
I'll tell my children about this.
Pleasure.
Happy birthday.
Have fun.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I might use these as earrings.
Am I getting your gift now?
Yes.
Okay, I got you two gifts.
Oh.
Lovely.
Okay, sorry.
That's fine.
Was it big?
I was in a Big W bag.
It went all out.
Yeah, I paid 15 cents for this bag.
I'm sure you did, yeah.
Nice wrapping, a 15 cent fucking Big Dub bag.
Yeah, lucky me.
Shut up.
Oh, wow, what's this?
First one is you and I at Cantor's Deli.
Oh, Jenna! Oh, my God. It's's Deli. Oh, Jenna!
Oh, my God.
Scrammed and everything.
Oh!
You must have a lot of faith in your friendship with him
to think that he's going to hang up a giant photo of you two.
You better believe this will be on the front door.
It better be.
Oh, now I'm jealous.
I should have done that.
This is when Jenna and I were in Los Angeles
at the Cantor's Deli, home of Heimland.
Well, you're in and out, as we know.
Correct.
Now, the second one.
The apartment's very small. You've seen it. I'll have to find space. Jenna Heimland. Well, you're in and out, as we know. Correct. Now, the second one. Her apartment's very small.
You've seen it.
I'll have to find space.
Janet, thank you.
Yes, now part two.
The second one's a bit more fun.
Okay.
So.
Yes.
God, there's always so much dead air when Janet talks.
I know.
I'm like.
Okay, I'm going to give you the bag.
She sounds like she's like.
She's reading against a witness that killed her son. Okay, I'm going to give you the bag. She sounds like she's reading against a witness that killed her son.
Okay, sure.
And what you've done to Elle.
Okay.
Life is big.
I'll never forgive you.
Yep, whatever.
Okay.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Okay, well, it's light.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Are we ready?
Oh!
Pretty good, huh?
It's a magic hat.
For the love of God, it's a magic hat.
I love it.
Marvin's magic hat.
Magic made easy.
Cancel everything we had planned.
Yes.
I'm going full Cosentino.
Wow.
Designed especially for budding magician children.
Okay.
This exciting collection of easy-to-perform magic tricks is a superb introduction into the fascinating world of magic for children.
Sorry, I mentioned children twice.
Wow, this is phenomenal.
There's something about you that really suits being a magician.
I was just staring at you and I was like,
wow, why have I never thought of this before?
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
It's one of the hats that pops up and now Tinker put a rabbit
in it!
Oh!
Who has a rabbit?
If you're listening and have a rabbit, donate
it to the show. I'll care for it.
This is the best gift
I've ever been given. Someone bought me a star.
Who bought you a star?
My uncle. What does that even mean?
He said a star for a star It was very nice
Oh that's nice
Oh this requires assembly
Shit
I don't know
It's no
Three piece butt plug training kit

It's not
Okay this is
This requires assembly
I'll do it another show
Oh
Oh the butt plug's
Falling on the ground
Guys this has been the best
Best
Two gifts
I've ever received in my life
Well you wait
I've got another surprise On the way for you, okay?
You're joking.
But I'll get into it later on.
We've got to do our idjams first.
Okay, yes.
Oops, sorry.
Can I have a top up, just quietly?
Yeah, of course.
I am my father's son.
You are?
Pass it over.
Take the bottle, darling.
If you're new here, that would have been confusing.
But this is how we start the show every week.
Since show number one a year ago. Yeah, you've got a year's worth of binging if you're new here, that would have been confusing. But this is how we start the show every week. Since show number one a year ago.
Yeah, you've got a year's worth of binging if you're new here, by the way.
Welcome.
Welcome to the club.
Our Is It Just Me's are the core of the show.
We call them idjams.
It's a made-up word, but for God's sake, get around it.
It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch and I both do one.
Jenna occasionally throws one in the mix.
And neither of us know what we're about to say.
I think, did you do the first ever, Ijen?
Oh, God, I can't remember.
I think I may have.
Yeah, why don't we just stick tradition.
You go first.
Okay.
And then I'll go second just because I'm so traditional, you know, me and my wife.
And I won't go.
Well, that's tradition, Jenna.
Yeah.
Actually, if we're following tradition, you're out behind the glass.
Yeah, maybe we should send a message.
No, I'm not going out there um
are we ready to start the one year anniversary show of is it just me let's get into it
is it just me or do you instantly become deeply ashamed of how fugly you are when you're looking
at yourself in the hairdresser mirror oh yes yeah yes. Yeah, there's no greater hell.
Oh, what is it about those fucking mirrors?
I literally got a haircut like two hours ago.
This is fresh wounds.
Sorry, you look great.
Thank you.
It's tied up.
I always have to tie it up for the first week or so.
You know how there's like a week between a good and a bad haircut?
Yeah, yep, yep.
So I got up this morning.
I popped on a bit of tinted moisturiser to make myself feel more awake.
And I'm like, damn, look at you go, bitch.
You look great today.
Went to work.
Went to the hairdresser after work.
Sat down and went, you are disgusting.
You are revolting.
Yep.
I just can't.
What is it about those mirrors?
I don't know.
What do they do?
So they're like, hi, welcome.
We'll take you to the basin.
And they washed your hair fully.
Yeah.
So your hair was wet.
And did they put a towel around your neck?
I don't understand how this is relevant, but yes.
Because that can accentuate the neck fat.
Not that you have any.
Do you reckon?
Yeah, 100%.
Because that's actually my concern, right?
Because, as I've mentioned on this show, I went on a psychiatric recess recently.
And so I've been put on antidepressants for the first time.
And they mentioned that one of the side effects may be weight gain.
And so I've kind of just been wearing a lot of oversized jumpers and avoiding my reflection for the last couple of months. But when I was kind of just forced to glare at my own reflection
for some half an hour or so, I just looked at myself and went,
fuck, you look like Princess Fiona in ogre form at the moment,
don't you?
I used to be the human form of Princess Fiona
and now I'm the ogre version.
Well, the antidepressants clearly aren't working then, are they?
You know what, they might be because I was like, but I don't really care.
Oh, there you go.
All right.
That's good.
You know what?
Just so for what it's worth, you don't look fat, darling.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Wow.
Is that the only side effect you've noticed?
Oh, there's been a few, but they're usually only at their worst
when you first start taking the antidepressants.
Like headaches?
No, I didn't get the headaches.
I got the nausea.
I'd get that in random waves.
So I'd just be sitting at my desk and be like,
and there's a couch in one of the audio producer booths
and I'd just be like, I'm back!
And lie down.
They knew.
They're like, oh God, Mitch has some medication.
Like the pregnant bitch everyone has in sales
that runs off to vomit.
That was me.
It wasn't too bad.
There was only one day that I had off work
because of the nausea.
Because I was just like, ble nausea But that seems to have settled
Also drowsiness
But I was drowsy before these medications
So I don't know if that's actually affected me or not
There's got to be a couple more
Side effects
Yeah, it's different for everyone
I've been on it for like 10 years
Really?
What were your side effects?
I'm pretty sure I couldn't sleep for like a week.
Yeah.
Nah, Mitch, well, this is a problem.
I mean, I'm assuming there might be a problem that maybe only Mitch can have, Jenna.
Maybe a problem that Mitch could have that you can't have because of things that Mitch has that you don't have and I have.
So Mitch and I have one mind substantially.
I'm assuming much bigger.
But I can't relate because I know what you're doing. And Mitch, I'm just asking because I've asked Mayo Clinic
and they say that maybe sometimes, you know,
the hose link might have a kink in it.
You know what I mean?
I just want to know.
No other side effects?
All right.
So you want me to talk about that, do you?
Hey, this is a safe space.
If you've come to that natural conclusion on your own
and you want to bring it up with two friends, then go for it.
We've spoken about this off the air and we've been...
Oh, you'd be fine with me bringing it up, surely.
I was going to talk about it on the podcast one day, but I wasn't going to make that today.
I may as well.
I'm here now.
Yeah, but we've got some...
Pour him another drink, Jenna.
Give him some more Shandon.
Come on.
Safe space.
Cheers.
One year.
We're proud of you.
I'll set the mood.
Do you want me to set the mood?
No, do not set the mood.
Okay, so...
It's the opposite of that anyway.
They said to me when they first gave me this medication,
one of the side effects may be sexual dysfunction.
And I was like, no worries.
I'm not exactly out there hooking up.
It's COVID.
Correct.
And then?
And then, you know, started, you know, being active.
Yeah.
And they were like, no worries.
It's all good. we can give you medication
to combat that side effect you're on a lot of pills and i just oh i know and i remember
saying to mitch i was like guess what age 24 and i'm already taking viagra
you don't know how hard it's been for me to not mention it yeah Yeah, he's been wanting to fucking bring it up because he's like,
do you realise the mocking opportunities that I have at my disposal here?
You're taking Viagra.
The poor thing is on Viagra at 24.
I think I would just suffer in silence and just cop the sexual dysfunction.
I know, and we actually should say we're not mocking this
because for goodness sake.
I mean, it's pretty funny though.
I'm more than happy for you to joke about it.
We're laughing at you.
We're not laughing at people that actually need it.
But I doubt there's any 80-year-olds listening to the podcast.
That's why it's fucking hilarious.
Oh, my God.
God, fuck, this podcast makes me sound so desirable.
Two weeks ago, I was talking about how I hate cum.
And now I'm being like, I'm on sexual dysfunction medication.
Form a line, gents.
Fuck.
Oh, you hate cum but your dick doesn't work.
Isn't that just the irony of it all?
But also, I didn't realise, you know how in the movies
they make it look like if you take a Viagra,
it like, you get this uncontrollable boner.
No, not the case.
You still require, sorry, that's the. No, not the case. You still require...
Sorry, that's the champagne.
What does the Viagra do?
You still require arousal to get it up.
So it's kind of like you've got the car and the Viagra is the key.
You turn the key on, but if there's still no petrol in the car,
it's not going to turn on.
So you still require some sort of... You're not just going to get a fucking boner for
no reason.
You still need to be turned on.
That's a good analogy.
Yeah.
But the only reason the car's broken in the first place is because you put the wrong petrol
in it.
That's sort of what's happening, right?
I put diesel in it.
Oh, no!
Oh, how did you realise, too?
When was the moment that you went, hello?
It was more just a safeguard, but I did have,
if we're going to be full disclosure, I did take it on one hookup
and it didn't kick in until, because I didn't realise
that it was basically a, I'm going to drop in and hook up
and then I've got to go.
I've got somewhere to be.
I was like, fuck, I don't know how long it takes to kick in.
Oh, no.
So you didn't really know how it worked in the timeframe.
I also didn't know what dosage to take.
And so after it was gone, I was ready.
No, you didn't have Pilates, did you?
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'll imagine that.
But no, he was, he wasn't awkward.
He was like, oh, okay, that's fine.
Like he was, I told him straight up.
I was like, just so you know, I've got medication that's fucking with my performance at the moment.
Yeah.
We're proud of you.
We love you.
It's a safe space.
Why are you saying you're proud of me?
Like, I've just admitted to like, I don't know, like I've just come out.
Because I want you to know that there's no judgment.
It's a safe space.
I'll have you know that I almost had to go on Viagra for a small period.
What do you mean almost?
Well, they prescribed it and then we found the problem.
What was the problem?
Well, because I thought
I was losing my hair
and I went on
Propecia hair loss pills.
I wasn't losing my hair.
I was paranoid
that I was going to.
Jeez, how important
is your hair to you
that you took preventative pills?
That's all I've got.
And so these hair loss pills,
they were a bony killer,
were they?
Made me limp.
Wow.
I wasn't in a relationship
but I'm like,
nothing's working down there.
I've got great hair.
And so you just stopped it. I went to the doctor and I'm like it's not working he's like that's the propetia it's a
side effect because 90 year old men take this tablet so he's like we can give you viagra and
you can be on both and i was like oh forget it no i'll just i'll just lose my hair my hair is
thicker than ever all right goody jim should we do mine sure okay here we go that was a hard one
for you that was a really weird that was a hard one for you to get through that was very hard see weird thing. That was a hard one for you to get through. That was very hard.
See, I imagined when I spoke about this on the podcast,
it would be funny and you would be taking the piss out of me.
But you've been like, we support you.
And I'm like, guys, I don't care.
I figure, God, I wish I knew I was talking about this today.
There's a quote from Lady Gaga talking about there's no shame
in taking medication as long as you work alongside medical professionals
to make your life easier, it's fine.
So I was like, I don't care if I'm on my egg at age 24.
I just want you to know that it's a safe space and we love you.
But maybe I went too soft on you.
Because it's a hard topic.
It's a very hard topic, but I'm glad it came to a head.
Yeah, you're right.
I feel much more at ease after speaking about this.
I was so stiff before.
Yeah.
It's a tough pill to swallow.
Yeah.
It really is.
Wait, wait.
Sorry, I need to do mine, but I've got so many questions.
When are you actually going to try it for the first time?
I don't know.
Well, you've got to give it a test.
I'll let you know.
Put it that way.
Oh.
Okay.
We're going to do like a group text or something.
I figure you'll be waiting with keen interest.
Did the Viagra work?
Yeah, I'll be at your house if you want me to.
No.
I can courier the tablet over.
See, this is the thing.
I wanted to talk about this after I've used it
so I can reflect on the experience, but now here we are.
That's fine.
We can do it before and after.
We can put pictures on Instagram.
Before and after.
Oh, we'll do a TikTok and everything.
What do they call this in the radio biz?
A story arc.
Oh, a story arc. A mystery Viagra journey. And the arc will go just like this, like his floppy dick a TikTok and everything. What do they call this in the radio biz? A story arc. Oh, a story arc.

And the arc will go just like this, like his floppy dick.
Up and down.
A climax.
A climax.
Oh, I'm in for a climax.
Oh, for God's sake, just take it away, please.
All right.
Is it just me or...
Do you feel really sorry for the poor florists that have to write pet names
on the cards that people create when they send flowers to and from their significant others?
I got flowers for my birthday today.
Lovely, beautiful Hayden.
My partner.
Adore him.
So sweet.
There was a pet name on there, right?
Or just like a lovely name that we call each other.
I didn't know that he had a pet name for you.
We have heaps.
I'm one of those people that just throw nicknames around.
Like I call you JJ.
I call you Jay.
I forgot.
I just make nicknames out of nothing.
I just like doing it.
I think it's fun.
So I have so many names for him.
But the one that's real, I don't even want to say it.
It's so cringe.
No, say.
No, there's one.
We call each other Boob.
Like a boob, like a woman's breast.
How ironic.
Boob.
Yeah.
I guess you're right.
Both of you have nil interest in Boob.
Yeah, Monkey C, Monkey 2.
He's like, two of them boob.
We call each other boob and then it's gone to boobalina
and it goes, stop it.
It's a safe space.
If Mitch can talk about his limp dick and we don't laugh
and I can talk about a pet name for my loving partner,
ambiguous, it might be a girl.
No one knows.
Anyway, what's your gay boyfriend's other pet names for you?
Their name, when she was in high school, I'd call her Boobalina, Boobanella, Boobarella, Boobsie.
It's just variables of boobs.
Anyway, he just called me that.
When did that start?
I don't know.
I also call him many others.
I call him Dem, like D-E-M.
And that goes to Demalina.
Can you use it in a sentence?
I'd be like, oh, yeah.
Hey, boobs, have you started dinner? No, but the Dem, what's that one? Oh, Dem, D-E- I'd be like, oh, yeah. Hey, boobs, have you started dinner?
No, but the dem, what's that one?
Oh, dem, D-E-M.
It's, hey, dem.
Oh, that's weird.
It's not weird.
Why dem?
Listen here, you two wouldn't know.
Last time we were hanging out with Hayden, I heard you say something to him
and it was so gross because you know how you call Jenna J,
just the first letter of her name.
Oh, yeah, I know this.
You were like, you write H?
And I'm like, it's H.
Yeah, my HSIR teacher used to really get at me.
H.
HSIR teacher.
You call your fucking gay boyfriend H?
Yeah.
No, H.
That's how I call him.
Anyway, so did he write T in the card?
Yeah, he just wrote Boo-Boo-Lina.
And I saw it and I went, God, the poor fucking florist that had to sit there and go, we've got an order
for two faggots in gloom!
No, I think that's quite gender neutral, actually,
Boobalina. Very true. Your internalised homophobia
would have been thrilled, actually.
That's not really, I'm just saying, that was a joke.
I mean, the Boobalina is the funny part.
Dearest, oh,
Cathy, come and look at this!
It's the best one this week,
put it on the wall. Like, what were the...
Imagine cringing.
Imagine the shit that they have to write on cards.
Hi, schnookums.
Yeah.
Dearest snotpot.
Like, imagine some of the stupid names they'd have to write.
Also, what if there was, like, some concerning ones?
Like, my little murderer.
Like, I'm sure there's a very funny story as to why that's hilarious.
So I thought, why don't we call a florist?
Oh, my God.
And just ask.
Why does it always end up with you making a phone call?
Because I wanted to.
I put a call out on the Instagram.
You probably saw it.
And I wanted a florist.
So this is a follower of ours.
She's a florist.
And I'm going to get her opinion.
Okay, so we're not just cold calling some innocent business.
That's good.
No, she knows.
She knows. What's her name?. No, she knows. She knows.
What's her name?
So it's Brie.
Bite the cheese.
Yeah, I love that.
Hello?
Hi, Brie.
Hi, is that Blue Costello?
What?
Mitch said, I said, her name is Brie.
And he says, hi, Blue Costello.
We're going through different cheeses.
We have Mercy Valley on the line. Hi, Mercy. Colby, Colby. Yeah. Oh, that, Blue Costello. We're going through different cheeses. We have Mercy Valley on the line.
Hi, Mercy.
Colby, Colby.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a good name.
So, Mozzarella, you're a florist, right?
Stop.
I'm qualified.
Yes.
Montecito.
I don't know.
Is that a cheese?
It sounds like one.
I don't know.
Brie.
Brie, Brie, Brie.
You're a florist.
You replied to my DM.
I just want to know, right?
So I'm talking about...
Sorry, Mitch is pouring a shandong.
Oh, sorry.
I'm in the middle of a phone call with Bree.
Keep going.
Sorry.
What's the weirdest thing that someone has written on a card for their significant other that you've had to handwrite
and not laugh through?
Like they're pretty cliche and tame mostly,
but there has been a couple times that they get pretty fucked.
Like one time, I think it was a joke, but it was like, oh, okay.
It was like, happy anniversary to my little cum dumpster.
Oh, dear.
Cum dumpster.
And you had to pick up a pen and write that.
Pick up a parka.
Incursive.
Incursive.
Wow.
So a dumpster is such volume for cum.
Probably just a bottle cap of dew.
Anyway, all right, what else? Anything else?
Like, well,
we kind of have this joke that
cheating husbands sort of pay our way through
taste, but there was this
one time
and the card itself
was sus, but okay. It was
kind of like,
hello baby, I love you,
I'm so glad you can trust me.
Like, the car was a bit sus, but then the delivery instructions
were really fucked.
Oh.
Yeah, they had in it, they were like, go to this address,
but check the driveway, and if you see a Mazda,
don't knock on the door.
Or if you hear a male voice, don't knock on the door.
Oh, my God.
I would have done the opposite.
If I heard a male voice, it would have been like.
Yeah. Anyone home? Hello, opposite. If I heard a male voice, it would have been like... Yeah.
Anyone home?
Hello?
Delivery from a male to a female.
If you'd have started your own YouTube channel and just filmed that,
that would have gone viral, Bree.
I know, but I just...
I don't have the heart for it.
Anyway, one more question.
Sorry, panel!
Oh, what?
I had more questions for her.
I just got hooked on that topic. I was like, oh, my God. Oh, what? I had more questions for her. I just got hooked
on that topic. I was like, oh my god.
Should I call her back? Yeah.
This is the first time we're calling back someone after sorry tunneling them.
Hello.
Hi, sorry, Mitch got mad at me because he was so
interested in the story and he wasn't ready for the sorry
tunnel. I was like, I was hooked. I have so many
more questions about this.
I never realised that the career
of a florist could be so
controversial. Intriguing. Yeah. Alright, go.
Ask your questions, Mitch. Obviously, there's
the common ones like, you know,
anniversaries, birthdays,
stuff like that. What's like a
weird occasion you've had to deliver flowers
for? Well, like, everyone
talks about the birthdays and anniversaries, but there's
actually so much
death oh yeah and it's not just condolences but people usually kind of put their heart out on the
line they were like you have his eyes um i'm i miss her so much i i can't stop listening to
that voicemail like they get so intense with the death one. Yeah. God. I've always wondered if I'd be the sort of person to call.
Because, like, touch wood, I've never had to deal with any, like,
major grief of someone I'm close with.
Like, you know, my piano teacher died, but nothing like,
not like my, you know, close relatives.
Yes, yes.
Would I be the sort of person that calls their voicemail to re-listen?
Oh.
God.
I remember my mum, when my grandfather died, so her dad died, and she just called the mum's number because my grandmother Oh, God. Yeah, it's tragic. But that's how I make my income.
Yeah, very true.
Have you ever had to deal with anyone like Ryder Card?
This is completely off the top of my head.
Maybe for someone whose penis doesn't work?
Why, Mitch?
Are you in the market?
Oh, no.
Well, one of the Mitches is.
Mitch Koo.
He's fine with doing that.
Mitch is on Viagra.
I just opened up about my sexual dysfunction on account of my antidepressants.
But anyway, how's your day?
What would you write if someone said, hey, my boyfriend's got Viagra.
Give him some petunias to cheer him up.
Write whatever you want.
Be creative.
What would you write, Bree?
Something to cheer you up because your fella can't get up.
Oh, that's good.
She's very good. That's really good, that's good. She's very good.
That's really good.
That's good.
That's why I make the big bucks.
Yeah.
By the way, it can, just not when I want it anyway.
Yeah.
What would you write, Jenna?
I think I'd write, don't be down because your dick is down.
That's nice.
That's lovely.
I think that's sweet.
I'd send a slab of cement and say, harden the fuck up.
I think that's sweet.
I'd send a slab of cement and say, harden the fuck up.
What about putting the fun in dysfunction?
Oh, that's good. Oh, I'm putting that on my Instagram bio.
You are a genius, Parmesan.
Thank you, Pecorino, for coming on the show.
We appreciate it.
I've learnt so much.
Sorry, Tana. We appreciate it. See you, Bree. I've learnt so much.
Sorry, Tunnel.
Oh!
She's... That was incredible.
She's sorry Tunneled us back.
She's got sorry Tunneled on our own show.
She is brilliant.
Oh, that was brilliant.
Well done, Bree.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
Hey, Mitch.
It's your boyfriend, Hayden, here.
I just want to wish you a happy 25th birthday.
I hope you have an incredible day.
You absolutely deserve it.
You know, in the past two years, I feel like you have surprised me and done so many wonderful
romantic gestures.
And it makes me so incredibly happy that I get to sort of return the favor in this sort
of way.
You know, you've made me an incredibly happy person for the past two years.
You've given me some of the best years of my life.
And honestly, I just cannot wait
to spend the rest of my life with you.
I love you so much.
Can you hurry up and come home
so we can play Fortnite?
Okay, great. Amazing.
I love you so much.
Have a good rest of the show.
Bye.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Surprise.
Why did you do that?
Oh. Here you go. I'm crying. Here's some tissues. Thank you. I's so sweet. Surprise. Why did you do that? Oh.
Here you go. I'm crying.
Get some tissues.
Thank you.
I'm so single.
Why did you do that?
That's really nice.
Because.
Oh, you're actually crying?
I am crying.
Just because I'm scared of the size of the butt plug.
I just keep looking at it.
Oh, God.
The poor thing would have been so nervous too.
Was that his first take?
How many takes?
He would have gone to the bedroom to do it as well.
I did say last week that I was going to get him on the podcast in one way or another.
You did?
It's because he and I had already teed this shit up well beforehand.
I thought you two hated each other.
Mitch is secretly in love with me.
What did he say to make you think that?
I'm just joking.
Never hated her.
Oh, my God.
That is beautiful.
Well, the surprises don't end there, darling. god what it's just 25 guys well look it's your birthday like we said
and you did mention that you just buy yourself everything you want so i can't get you a gift
no i don't want anything so i thought i'll give him an experience and i thought okay what's an
experience that i know for a fact Mitch always enjoys?
And the answer is an ego boost.
Oh.
And so I've gotten a whole bunch more voice messages from people who wanted to send their well wishes to you, including our listeners, the Endurant Idiots.
No.
That's why I kicked you out of the Facebook group the other day.
I was so mad at that.
He was like, did you kick me out of my own group?
And I wrote in the group, guys, fuck, he's awake, hurry up.
I was so literally, I called my mum in anger.
Wait, wait, wait, what is happening?
But as well as our listeners, I also reached out to Mitch Nation.
Oh, yes.
They heard your Harry Styles interview on the radio.
They were like, we actually like this host a lot.
And so now they're diehard fans of yours.
I reached out to one of them and said, hey,
start a group chat without him. And holy
fuck do I regret that. They talk a lot,
don't they? Oh, there's, yeah, non-stop banter with those
ones. Oh my god, I had to mute the conversation.
My phone was like,
always. Yeah, no, I haven't muted
them at all. I'm not muting them.
But anyway, I wanted to reach out to all these people,
give them the opportunity, and as it turns out,
quite a few people sent messages in.
I didn't have the heart to cut any of them,
so there's quite a few, but I figure it's a podcast.
If anyone gets bored, they can fucking fast forward.
Do the 15-second skip function.
The incognito grab that I gave you, it says Ijem throwback grab.
I said, oh, I've got a throwback to play later.
That's not a throwback.
That's a bunch of messages from your fans.
Oh, my God.
Hold on.
From all over the world, I might add.
I feel like I'm going to cry.
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?
You already have, you little bitch.
I know, but I feel like I'm going to cry again.
Good.
Okay.
This is beautiful.
Here we go.

Thanks for all the good laughs.
Hey Mitch, it's Brooke here.
I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday
and I just really wanted to say just from the bottom of my heart,
sorry, tunnel.
There we go.
Oh, my God.
That is amazing.
I feel like I'm at my own funeral.
How much did you pay them?
Nothing.
Oh, my God.
I am genuinely speechless.
For once?
For the first time ever.
That was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
Really?
Ever in my whole life.
Yes.
I mean, it was a low bar.
The next step was anal.
Oh, my.
There's so many people there.
How funny the amount of in jokes that they put in there as well.
I know.
The blind stuff.
Yeah, the blinds.
And the sorry tunnels.
Did you pick up on the banging on the table?
That was very good.
There was one point where the music really slowed down
and one of the Mitch Nation girls was very,
I'm like, oh my God, has she passed?
Like I thought there was going to be an in memoriam or something.
It was like I was at the Oscars.
Oh, Mitch, genuinely, that is so beautiful.
Glad you liked it.
I feel very, very loved.
What do you get the man that can afford his own Apple Watch the day of release?
I mean, some sort of shit that'll make him well up on a podcast.
That's what I can do.
I didn't have to line up at the Apple store.
I knew the manager anyway.
They brought it out to me.
That is really, really beautiful.
Thank God.
Well, someone in that montage said, think of yourself instead of trying to please others.
So you can choose your own adventure now.
Do we do the Q&A or do you play with your bullshit magic hat?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my choices.
Let me put myself a shand on first.
Can I get a transcript of the nice things they said for me?
Just type it out, Jenna.
Wow.
There's not much left.
Do you have some, Jenna?
That is so beautiful.
I'm still in shock.
There are so many people there.
I know. I'm still not convinced that There are so many people there. I know.
I'm still not convinced that maybe three of the girls were the same with a different voice
they were putting on.
I actually did it once over.
I was like, fuck, is there going to be more than one Kayla?
Yeah.
There's a lot of Kalas in Mitch Nations and the Mons and the Kalans.
Oh, my God.
For everyone listening who's sending a message, that is so incredibly beautiful.
Now I'm spewing that we want a break during my birthday.
The bar is set high. Why don't we just do nothing for anyone's birthday from here on out? I'm spewing that we want a break during my birthday. The bar is set high.
Why don't we just do nothing for anyone's birthday from here on out?
I'm stressed.
Bullshit.
I want to see if you can one-up that.
Re-gift.
Not the butt plug.
No, thank you.
That is so incredibly beautiful.
Let's do the Q&A because you know what?
It's the one year.
Let's give the people what they want.
It's not about what I want.
I thought that was also the one year.
Not being selfless.
Yeah, that really should have been more so about you and
Jenna. No, it's fine. Every other show
is about me. This one can be about
you. I made all those limp dick
jokes.
That is so sweet. Do we have an
opener for, back to the normal rigmarole of me
not knowing what's going on. Do we have an opener for the Q&A?
Just use a generic reset.
Yeah, right.
Wow, guys.
Sorry, I'm just so, so beautiful.
And Hayden, my beautiful boyfriend,
sort of skimmed over that part.
He was great.
Do you know what the funny thing is?
Yeah.
I was like, I'm probably going to make a video out of Hayden's voice message for Mitch.
Yeah.
And I don't want to look like a fucking idiot,
so I took my party hat off, but yours is still on.
So you're just going to have this party hat on in the video.
Looking like a child.
Fucking a carrot.
Shit.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
All right.
Let's do the Q&A, guys.
What questions have we got?
We've got a lot.
That wasn't a strong start.
No.
I'm half drunk and I'm very emotional.
Alright, let's go. We're doing
the Q&A. We've done one before. It was very successful.
We got hordes of questions. Yes, we had to
actually cull some last time, so we were like,
guys, send them again, just in case
you missed out last time. Put it up on Instagram
at couple of Mitches. Yeah, we have
Carly Brown who asked, do you three
consider yourself each other's best friends? I'd say yes, definitely. Yeah, we have Carly Brown who asked, do you three consider yourself each other's best friends?
I'd say yes, definitely.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Yeah, I'd say yes.
We've discussed it.
I'd ask you to be in my bridal party.
What is it for a guy?
You better say bride, mate.
Would you be?
Oh, groomsmen, groomsmen.
Best man, just quietly.
From behind, my aunts and uncles with the long hair,
they'd be very confused.
I'm comfortable with that.
Me too.
It's my bloody wedding.
I'm marrying a man.
You know I like confusing people. I know, you definitely do. I'm comfortable with that. Me too. It's my bloody wedding. I'm marrying a man. You know I like confusing people.
I know, you definitely do.
I hope the dick works at that point.
There was one of my cousins that you'd love to thrash around, I'm sure.
Yes, best friends.
I definitely agree.
And if anything, that beautiful message has only instilled it in my mind more
that I love you guys.
And that magic kit.
Oh, that magic kit.
Sorry, Meech, but that beats the three different variant butt plugs.
Silicon wrapped.
Excuse me, I launched your own merch range.
People can buy butt plugs
named after you.
How many people have done that for you?
This is like a limited time offer.
When they do shaker fries at Macca's, will this disappear in a month?
Racing now!
At your cervix dot store.
I'm like Macca's Monopoly.
Everyone gets an at your cervix app and you've got to get the cervix stickers.
Yeah, I'd say we're best friends, don't you?
I would, yes.
Mitch?
I said yes.
All right, you were hesitating.
Here's this.
What's one COVID safe rule you'd want to keep after the Rona goes away?
Laura Emart.
Dressing like a hobo.
Yeah.
I'm not ready to let that go.
Yeah.
When everyone in our office is working from home except the content team,
I was considered one of the essentials, as was Jenna.
And everyone really stopped giving a fuck because there was no one in sales
or the chief financial officer that you had to bump into.
No one to impress.
I came in looking revolting.
And now that everyone's kind of coming back to work,
I'm not ready to let that go.
I come in in all these gross sweaters.
Literally the same thing I would wear lounging around on a Sunday.
I just go to the office in now and I don't want to let it go.
Yeah.
Jenna, what about you?
I would say handshaking.
Oh, like the elimination of handshaking?
Yes.
Oh, you don't like a handshake?
No, I find it awkward.
I don't know when to put my hand out and when not.
Yeah, it's different for a woman as well because, I find it awkward. I don't know when to put my hand out and when not. Yeah, it's different for a
woman as well because I,
it's just my default. When in doubt, handshake.
My father taught me how to do it. I'm very
confident with the handshake. But yeah, when do you
handshake as a woman?
You know, like when clients and stuff come in
and... What?
Oh, for what, your side hustle?
When clients come in
for their Netflix special.
Yes.
You know when the Netflix.
Is there any champagne left?
Yeah, take the bottle.
This story's going on for too long.
We've got too many questions, guys.
Handshaking.
Handshaking.
Mine is at a restaurant when they will put a sticker
or like a lemonade and A4 piece of paper on every second table
that says seat not in use.
I love because I'm so i have
like a very naturally wide gate and my legs are just so thick and long that when i sit at a table
i have to be like you know set at a table so sometimes you get to fancy restaurants and you're
so close to the people next to you oh i can just spread out i can put my i put my keys next to my
seat because no one is sitting on the side of you exactly it's a side a side table. Exactly, it's a side table. So I love that.
And for my birthday today, I had lunch on a tram in the CBD.
My mum took me to a tram.
She's like, I remember you used to love trams growing up.
Is there trams in Sydney?
Yeah, tram sheds.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought they'd retired them.
They haven't.
Turned it into a bloody Westfield.
They've kept one tram in the middle.
They've redecorated it.
It's their food court.
Oh, right.
So I literally used to, that was my local shopping centre, tram center tram sheds i didn't realize i thought you were on a functioning
tram no no this was a motionless tram they'd stuck the gear so you couldn't drive anyway that place
is exy mrs jury yeah someone's well off i remember when that was a working tram oh of course yeah
yeah you were there oh man your son was killed by please mention it. Aislinn told me that she used to,
before they'd been renovated and turned into a shopping centre,
they were actual tram sheds,
and her and her friends used to break in and wag school
and hang out at the old tram sheds.
She's like, it's less cool now that it's a shopping centre
and people go there on purpose.
Yeah, it was very decrepit, but now it's very fancy.
Mel113 asks, Mel112 must have been taken,
has there been any sex dreams about each other?
No.
Oh, many.
Yes, I'm sure.
But they're night terrors.
Yes.
I think I've had one about you.
I think it's only natural.
Me?
Yeah, maybe in the early days.
I don't remember my sex dreams.
I just feel like it's in my wheelhouse.
You don't remember anything.
I don't remember anything.
You don't recall details, do you?
No, I don't recall details.
But I probably would have. Oh, God. Yeah.'t remember anything. I don't remember anything. You don't recall details, do you? No, I don't recall details, but I probably would have.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Was it at least good?
Oh, fantastic.
Yours didn't work, though, so foreshadowing.
We have underscore, underscore, underscore, freck.
I want to know your most memorable moment about each other.
Three kisses.
Mwah, mwah, mwah, freck.
Oh, God.
You know what mine is?
And this is honestly true.
And you know what's so funny?
I remember thinking today, driving in, my most memorable moment was you guys doing the
podcast together, like starting that together.
And now my most memorable moment with you is that whole situation there with the grabs.
I think that was beautiful.
Is that the champagne talking or is that?
Oh, God.
And you know, I'll forget this by midnight.
I'll just forget it all.
It'll fall out of my brain.
But while I'm being sweet, just take it.
It's just that last sort of 20 minutes has been beautiful.
I feel really loved and I'm very grateful and I'm trying
to think of ways I can, you know, repay the favour.
I like vouchers.
Yeah.
I like candles.
Red balloon.
Anyway, I don't know.
Most memorable memory of each other.
Does that include Jenna?
Yeah.
I apologise if my speech begins to slur.
That's fine.
It's the Shandon.
Yeah, God, I have to drive home.
I'm going to be crashing in the office tonight, guys.
We've got a radio show to do.
This is Is It Just Me?
Oh, no.
Can I just co-host your radio show and see if anyone notices?
No, no.
My most memorable moment with Jenna would have to be when we got absolutely
munted on Contiki.
Oh, yeah.
And she spread her legs.
No, no, no.
She's uncomfortable.
She's uncomfortable telling this story.
No, this is not good.
No, you know what we should do, right?
You tell the story now, Midge.
We'll bleep it out.
And people will not know what actually happened,
but you unbleep every sixth word.
No, it's okay.
No, no, no.
You'll bleep it, Jenna.
It's fine.
Go.
And then...
Doggy.
Oh, my God.
It was that dog.
Bareback.
On the set of the new James Bond film?
Stop it!
Sorry, we should stop.
Wow, I'm enlightened to now know the story.
I didn't know before.
Very memorable.
Wow, that really was.
Jenna, I'm impressed with you.
I'm very proud.
Please don't.
All you guys need to know is that she does not need these.
Let's go to another question.
I don't know if there's a memorable moment with you like
the most one like i don't know i just i remember everything i remember our first impression which
was we've said this before guys we have done a q a before there are some questions that are double
ups go to the q a episode because if you want to just get more q a it's there the last episode of
season one it was yeah it was oh my god look at us with q and a's on the last episodes. This isn't the last episode. Oh, I'm out.
I've got a fucking e-store, guys.
I'm going to make bank off my butt plugs.
Yeah, when we met on your birthday and it was your first day of work here at ARN
and I had just become the executive producer of a show
so I was stressed off my mind
and I went down to the car park to get something,
probably a vibrator from the prize department.
And then you came up in the ground level in the elevator and then our eyes met.
And then, I mean, the rest is simply history.
Why are you playing that?
It's the Shandon.
No, I remember when I ran into you in the elevator.
It was my first day and I didn't want to tell anyone that it was my birthday because like
no one wants to do a pity happy birthday for the new kid. Yeah, no way.
I think I've said this before
on the podcast and I remember being like,
I don't know, there's just something about your
personality that was just like instant, like everyone's
just comfortable with you instantly. Yeah. I didn't
have any of my usual social anxiety situation.
You were just like, hi!
And I'm like, oh. You're like, are you new here?
And I was like, how do you know? Now you know it's my
desperation to be liked.
I actually knew who you were.
I was a follower.
Oh, well, now we've heard it all, Jenna.
Really?
I was a bit starstruck, yeah.
He originates as a fan.
I haven't actually met.
Well played, because my memory tells me you were like,
and your name is?
Yeah, that was part of the act.
Elise.Cooper says, question for Jenna. Back back in 1687 did you see yourself where you are now with these 333 years later that's a really good question i love that
she did the correct math yeah i know was it correct i don't know yeah it is exactly correct
that is precise no it is yeah um absolutely not the times were completely different you know i
was in different circles.
Yeah.
I had a different life.
Yeah.
I didn't expect this.
I didn't expect to be, you know, we didn't have radio back then.
Radio was non-existent.
You'd just yell into a piece of sheet metal that was curved into a cylinder.
No, that's a bit offensive.
Sorry.
There was more to it.
Sure.
But, you know, mining in the mines.
And that wasn't even
your first life
if you're new here guys
Jenna has had multiple lives
she was around
when Jesus was born actually
yes
correct
she was at the baby shower
that was my first life
so it's very memorable
that was Jenna B.C.
oh that was Jenna B.C. Benson
yes
oh and now you're Jenna A.C. Benson
precisely
isn't it A.D.?
A.D. after death
after death of course yes right you were there when he died too you actually Jenna Ray Stevenson. Precisely. Isn't it AD? After death, of course.
Yes.
Right.
You were there when he died too.
You actually, Jenna told me this the other day,
it's shocking,
she actually helped Jesus push the boulder away
from that rock on Easter Sunday.
That's true.
She just pushed it and she chipped a nail.
That's true.
Maybe that's why your nails are so strong now
because back in the day.
Yes, that's correct.
It was so strengthened by pushing down the sandstone.
And when Jesus resurrected, Yes, that's correct. It was so strengthened by pushing down the sandstone.
And when Jesus resurrected, you know, it was just a really memorable time for me. He was actually tossing up between whether to be in that little tomb thing for three days or two days.
She goes, no, three's good.
Do three.
I actually suggested four.
Yeah, it's a bit much.
You know.
A bit much.
I gave him, you know.
Also, Jenna's told me over a couple of drinks.
Maybe I'm speaking out of turn here, but Jenna actually texts Judas.
And she was like, hey, Jay, just so you know, the other Jay,
I know you guys have some bad blood, there's some beef,
but this is the plan.
And then somehow at the last dinner, Jesus just carked it and died.
Yes.
Jenna has actually been present at every major moment in history so like jenna is still
spewing that amelia airheart never returned her scarf she lent her no i know and that was my
favorite one okay my favorite next question lizzie responded mitch do you and hayden think about
getting married and having kids together we've covered this in the first q a gold digger that
was way back in our Easter ISO episode.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
So, yes, you've thought about marriage.
You've spoken about that.
You've never mentioned anything about children on the podcast.
I would, but we have to buy them, to be honest.
It's not like the normal way.
It's an investment.
I'd rather get property in the Blue Mountains.
You could get a rescue.
What, did you just find one off the street?
Isn't that illegal?
No that's how I was found
Oh
When?
Um
My fourth life
Okay
Anyway
Back in 1530
I would adopt for sure
I'd love to adopt
Yeah
Adopt
Don't shop
Sorry that applies to animals
Not children
Is there like a returns period?
If it
If it came down to it
Where it was like
Alright
We've got a womb.
Yeah.
Her name's Jenna.
Yeah.
And she's said, I'll carry your child.
And you have to decide whose seed you plant.
Would it be yours or Hayden's?
We've discussed this.
And you can actually-
Have you?
You can actually both geez into some sort of like a capsule.
You get at the Woolworths exit, you know, and you put the $1 coin, you get the capsule.
You put it in, you sort of shake it up together like a big M.
And then you put it back in the machine and they fertilize the egg.
And then whoever's baby it is, like no one will ever know, he's Asian.
I was going to say, you'd know.
Imagine that at Christmas.
My family's like, yeah, it's a real mystery.
I, we'd adopt.
And here's the thing.
My sister, I've got two sisters.
If I want to have my genetic pool in the mix, which let's be real,
if he wants a strong heart, don't go with me.
Or a good fucking working set of knees.
Or a real brain or a good memory.
Fuck Hayden, do it!
My sister can have Hayden's sperm,
and that way it'll have Turing DNA and Hickson DNA.
So we can do both.
Which sister offered that?
Rachel, my little sister.
She's offered it.
Oh, wow.
My big sister, Becky, was like, I'll do it, but for a price.
She's smart.
Nicole, if you're listening.
Yeah.
Step up, darling.
We have Josh asking, do you think this podcast will go on longer than not?
Oh, that Shandon's repeating on me.
Not my cup of tea.
Not my cup.
Oh, my God.
Shandon, I thought it was the most expensive you could buy.
Not my cup of tea.
Josh asks. Well, we're one year in to Is you could buy. Not my cup of tea. Josh asks.
Well, we're one year in to Is It Just Me?
Not my cup of tea went for three years.
Could you do this three times over?
Oh, I'm sure we could.
I mean, not my cup of tea was cancelled.
That's the reason it ended.
It was terrible, so they had to cancel it from the air.
Of course I could do this for three years.
Yeah.
I enjoy it.
You know what?
This is not a chore for me.
I enjoy this every week.
Yeah.
It's gotten easier.
Yeah.
This is no tea or shade to the girls that I did not make up a tea with.
But, yeah, it was very different.
It was a lot more labour intensive producing that show.
Well, that was heavy for you.
You did producing and editing.
I had to physically carry cameras.
Yeah, right.
It just comes down to the black and white fact that there's already cameras in studio here.
It's just way easier, this podcast.
And also, I feel like we found our stride a lot quicker.
It took us a good, I reckon it was the second and halfway through the third year that we hit Not My Cup of Tea peak.
Whereas I feel like we've already gotten into a rhythm of things.
Oh, I completely agree.
I mean, for God's sake.
And also, our podcast is skyrocketing at the moment.
TikTok is growing better than all my cup of tea did.
Ever.
Can you believe it?
Quietly, anyway, moving on.
Thomas doing as well.
Seinfeld, some have said.
Jay Liliana says, what tattoos do you have?
I've got none.
Jenna has the entire Rosetta Stone on her lower back.
Yes, yes.
And then Mitch has the New South Wales transport logo.
Fuck off. It's a lotus flower. And then Mitch has the New South Wales transport logo on his wrist. Fuck off.
It's a lotus flower.
Hold it up to the cameras.
It looks a little bit like the bloody wattle you've got on the New South Wales license.
A little bit.
He took out his bloody ID card when he got it done and said, model it after this, darling.
Anyway.
No, it's beautiful.
It's a lotus flower.
Show it to me, show it to me.
It's actually, it's a beautiful one, but it does look like the Waratah, the logo for New South Wales girls. I know. That's fine. It's not lotus flower. Show it to me, show it to me. It's actually, it's a beautiful one, but it does look like the Waratah, the logo for New South Wales Girls.
I know.
It's fine, it's not a negative.
And then I've got the art pop tattoo, which I'm looking into laser.
Oh, really?
Yeah, not because I don't like the tat or the message behind it,
but they did a shocking job.
Yeah, they haven't left enough space between the letters.
Oh, you've kept that to yourself for years.
I'm just looking at it now.
It's like when you do an assignment and you've got to write,
the holocaust, but then you get to O
and then all of a sudden you've got one inch left.
You've got to go, OST, and write it down the length of the page.
But also it looks like bubble writing.
It does.
Like a primary schooler, which, by the way,
the design I gave him was very, very, very faint text,
so I don't know how this happened, but anyway.
No, it looks just like you've accidentally sat on your iPad and you've bolded every letter on it. Anyway, I'm just joking. And the design I gave him was very, very, very faint text. So I don't know how this happened. But anyway.
No, it looks just like you've accidentally sat on your iPad and you've bolded every letter on it.
Anyway, I'm just joking.
Fluffy underscore octopus underscore legs underscore cat, which was in the montage, wasn't she?
It was. Oh, my God.
So was Elise, one of the earlier questions.
Yes, yes, yes.
Elise.
I noticed Elise.
And I noticed Fluffy Octopus is my favorite listener.
I love her so much.
So shout out, Fluff.
She tunes into our Sunday night Instagram lives every week.
I hope not if she's fighting with her husband
and they've had Chinese food.
That's true.
She says, which famous dead person would you like to go on dinner with?
I'll take that.
Mitch's dick.
Okay, I'll pay that.
That was good.
Come on.
That was very good.
Freddie Mercury. That was good. Come on. That was very good. Freddie Mercury.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, what?
Yes.
He'd be fun.
I'd be like, babe, here's a number.
Get some Invisalign.
Your career's about to blow up.
I'd do it a year before he got famous.
I'd go, hey, maybe use a condom.
Because he had AIDS, I think.
Do you know that Freddie Mercury never fixed his teeth because he thought it would affect his voice?
And Katy Perry says the same thing about her bottom row of teeth.
Really?
Have you seen her bottom row of teeth?
No.
Oh, my God.
Google Katy Perry's teeth.
Bottom row of teeth.
Really?
Right now.
Sounds like her.
Fortunately, her lips are kind of positioned that you never really see her bottom teeth.
But they're fucked.
Oh! Look at them! Oh, dear. Fortunately, her lips are kind of positioned that you never really see her bottom teeth, but they're fucked. There's some...
Oh!
Look at them!
Oh, dear.
And she thinks she's Freddie Mercury level of voice, where she's like, I can't sabotage
it.
Oh, God.
Jesus.
That was like a railway track after a stick of dynamite's gone off.
You know who else?
That fucked a Katy Perry's teeth.
It's so funny.
You want to know what's so funny?
I remember watching the movie Anchorman, which is very pivotal in my humour.
Now that I say that, you probably realise,
oh my God, it's just a fucking walking Anchorman.
Anchorman with Will Ferrell was my favourite movie growing up.
And there's a scene where it's a close-up shot of his teeth.
And you can see his bottom teeth.
And I vividly remember, as a child,
gagging at the look of his teeth.
Because I thought, oh my God, his teeth are horrendous.
And he's a celebrity.
That's my story. I never really get bothered by other people's teeth. No, but these are the worst teeth I've ever seen. Maybe it's his teeth are horrendous and he's a celebrity. That's my story.
I never really get bothered by other people's teeth.
No, but these are the worst teeth I've ever seen.
Maybe it's because mine are rip-munted.
Oh, what the fuck?
Yeah.
What did you just Google?
Will Ferrell's bottom lower teeth.
Oh, that's his?
That's his teeth.
Look, Jenna.
Dear, oh, dear.
That's horrendous.
Looks like the ceiling of the Janolan Caves.
It's not as bad as, so I had a one-on-one with Tutankhamen and his teeth.
Tutankhamen?
Oh, in Egypt, in Cairo.
Tutankhamen was actually Jenna's secret Santa before he was mummified.
That's true, yeah.
What did you get him?
Oh, it was such a good gift.
Yeah, what was it?
Such a good gift.
It was a stuffed greyhound because they used to worship.
Idolised greyhounds, of course.
Wasn't it cats?
I thought it was cats they idolised.
It was greyhounds during this course. Wasn't it cats? I thought it was cats they idolized. No, it was greyhounds during this era.
Of course.
Yes.
And then you and Cleopatra, that was your first lesbian experience back in those days.
It was.
Wow.
So you wouldn't eat dinner with him because you've already had dinner with Tutankhamen.
Who's someone dead that you guys would dine with?
Oh, gosh.
That's hard.
This is going to get stupid.
Unlike mine, sorry.
I would have dinner with my grandfather because he died when i
was 15 and it's hard because you think i wasn't old enough to fully have a conversation with you
and he was obsessed with radio like he loved radio like die hard am fan and he always used to say you
would be you're gonna be great you're gonna be on radio gonna be ready then he died i'm getting sad
but honestly that's who i would because he would just be so excited that i'd be on radio so yeah he's like what's fm yeah i know it's like
why aren't you talking about the coal seam gas and the guys getting married i'm like well that's
another conversation hayden hayden leave he's not ready yet henry yeah uh oh my god there's so many
questions guys this is steph she wants to know what's the worst episode you think you've done?
Oh, I don't know if we have one whole episode that's bad,
but there's been bits within some episodes that I would rather have not happened.
Yeah.
Like that time we brought back Witch Mitch and you guys got Instagram questions.
I'm still spewing about that.
That was a terrible segment.
The worst thing we've ever done.
That really was, and I organised that too.
Yeah, I didn't even choose the questions. You did. No, I did. Because I do nothing. That was a terrible segment. The worst thing we've ever done. That really was, and I organised that too. Yeah, I didn't even
choose the questions.
You did.
No, I did.
Because I do nothing.
Yeah, I chose them.
We literally put it
in Jenna's Junk
and then went into Jenna's Junk,
which fucking saved it.
My idea, just quietly.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
Lisa asks.
Do you guys have an answer?
No, I don't.
Worst episode?
I don't.
I don't.
I think,
I can't listen back
to the first episodes.
It's like I can never
listen back to myself on radio.
I'll do a gig.
I'll get paid great money for it like on the red carpet at the Arias.
Here's the footage, Mitch, for your socials.
I'll delete the Dropbox link.
I can't look at myself.
I hate watching back.
Yeah, same.
I criticise myself.
Even the videos you make, Mitch, I'll watch it with the sound off.
Really?
Yeah.
Why?
Sometimes.
I'm getting better.
Okay.
Anyway.
Jenna?
It would be the episodes where I'm out there, outside.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were the best for me.
Then when you came in, they were the worst.
It sort of went downhill for me.
How good was episode six?
Do you remember that?
Oh, come on.
What was six?
Jenna was away in episode four.
Yeah.
And we were like, oh, producer Jenna's not here today.
Oh, blah, blah, blah.
We spoke about Jenna wagging.
And then she also didn't come in for episode six.
Oh, shit, sorry.
What?
Chris Sebastian's calling.
What?
What?
Chris Sebastian.
Guy Sebastian's brother.
He won The Voice.
What?
I'm about to do a radio interview for my radio show.
Just stop and pause.
I have to do Chris Sebastian.
Why does it say Patty Bitton?
Okay, well, you can take this one.
I don't want to invade this interview.
Hey, Chris.
How are you, man?
Good, Mitch.
How are you, buddy? I'm Mitch. How are you, buddy?
I'm good.
Thanks, Ledge.
We're talking a bit, okay?
See you, buddy.
See you, buddy.
Oh, he's such a good guy.
I wouldn't say guy.
I know I called him guy in the middle of it.
His name's Chris Sebastian.
It's like talking to Bindi Earl and I'm calling you Bob.
Let's go back to the Q&A.
We have to, oh, I don't know.
I was saying that Jenna wagged episode six.
And because I was salty that she'd wagged two episodes in such close proximity that I said to you, let's not even mention her not being here.
So if you go back and listen to episode six, we do not mention her name once.
We never acknowledge that she wasn't there.
Nope.
And that's the episode when my grandmother died.
No, it wasn't.
Yes, it was.
That was episode 20-something when Nat was filling in.
No, there was another.
How many grandmothers do you fucking have?
My grandfather.
Is that this life?
Yes, this current life.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
Yes, yes.
Bailey underscore 2705.
Hope that's your postcode.
For God's sake, you can cut that number out.
All you need is a two, surely.
How much does Tinder pay? I want to try my luck. That's obviously pertinentcode. For God's sake, you can cut that number out. All you need is a two, surely. How much does Tinder pay?
I want to try my luck.
That's obviously pertinent to your Tinder sponcon, Mitchell.
The face of TikTok.
The face of Rootin' Boots.
The face of TikTok.
Worldwide, yeah.
It's on TikTok.
The ad's on TikTok.
Yeah.
I don't want to say how much they're paying me.
Why don't we give you numbers and sums.
Jenna, we'll throw numbers at them and you just say yes if it's correct.
$9,000.
No.
$20,000.
No.
I'll just say that I don't feel like I'm being ripped off.
Put it that way.
Oh, my God.
I bet they're throwing in the phone to film it too.
Here's a free Hawaii.
No.
Steph wants to know, oh, God, have you ever considered dating each other before Tury got with Hayden?
Nah, sorry.
Most definitely.
Because we did for a while.
Jenna and I dated for a while, yeah, period.
Jenna and I were, yeah, we almost, I mean, I don't want to announce it,
but I was on the Contiki tour.
And Mitch, you think it was someone else?
But it was me.
Fluffy Octopus Legs is back and she's asking,
would you alibi for each other for a small crime?
How small is small?
Like a petty theft, maybe like stealing a Snickers from a Woolies.
Oh, that's fine.
Yeah, I'd do it for you.
But alibi, like the police have to come to your house.
It would have to be worse.
Maybe running over a small kid at a crossing.
That's no small crime.
That's a Sophie Delizio shit there.
It is, yeah.
It happened three times to her.
If you hit a kid, I'd probably tell the truth.
Yeah, very true.
We have Lucy underscore 604.
Have you guys ever thought of quitting the podcast after a big fight?
Oh, early days, every episode.
Yeah, I was going to say.
I was very highly strung, I think.
You were.
No, you weren't highly strung.
You were perfectionist.
You still are.
And I'm very nonchalant.
And I think we had to work out the ways that we work together creatively.
I think we've nailed it now.
Yes.
I never thought about leaving because, you know, I'm just very lazy and I'll just do what Mitch wants.
Leaving requires getting up.
Correct.
I mean, I would have rolled out of the podcast if that was the question.
But no, I've never thought of that.
I don't think we will get to that.
I think the podcast is continuing to grow. And, yeah, it've never thought of that. I don't think we will get to that.
I think the podcast is continuing to grow.
And yeah, it's only going to get bigger from here, don't you think?
Yeah, we're fine.
We're fine.
We're not going to – and we very rarely fight.
And when we do it, it's over in 12 hours.
It never lingers.
Mitch is very – 12 hours it is.
Mitch is very confrontational.
And I am like – No, I'm not confrontational.
I'm like a duck.
I don't go out of my way to confront people,
but if someone confronts me, I'm like, right, here we go, bitch.
Very true.
I'm very good at it.
Very true.
Mr. Understormastos says,
what is your favourite segment on the podcast
and any other favourite podcast that you listen to?
Interesting.
I love a conspiracy theory.
I listen to stuff they don't want you to know On iHeartRadio
Oh it's good
Just mysterious stuff
I'm obsessed with it
I shouldn't plug another network
But I do listen to Kate, Tim and Joel
I listen to Kate, Tim and Joel
I love that
Can I just say
This is real radio stuff
But I think Joel is doing
So bloody well
He's so good on that show
Yeah it's been really
A lot more seamless than I would have thought
it would have been, the transition, because he's a replacement host.
Fark, what was the original part of the question?
Any of your favourite segments on the podcast.
Jenna's Junk.
Jenna's Junk.
That actually is one of my favourites.
Jenna's Junk is one of my favourites.
It's so silly.
I also love Talk Back Tings, which is a favourite of the fans.
Yeah, same.
I've got one ready to go, by the way.
Oh, I've actually got an update.
You know how you queried?
No, you queried?
What am I talking about?
You challenged me to get a fridge magnet on ABC Talk Radio,
the greatest quiz.
Last night I got the closest I've ever been.
Really?
I'll play the audio next week.
I'll do it next week.
Oh, for next week?
Oh.
Yeah, you have to wait.
Should we do any more, guys?
Yeah, go on. Hit us with a couple more okay um let's go uh tilly billy what's your most embarrassing date story mitch coombs come on they
want to know mitch sure you've got a most embarrassing date story that's a very bold
assumption to make that none of my dates are successful well i mean you know mine i've told
it on the show before when i went on a date with that bionicle man.
Oh, yeah.
Didn't you take him to like a freezing cold lookout,
not realising he had a metal limb?
No, I didn't realise he was a fucking Optimus Prime.
I was like, look at this beautiful view.
And then all I hear is...
His steel leg was glacial.
No, it was his spine.
He had no spine.
He had a metal spine.
And I literally put my arm around him and I'm like, oh, this is like some sort of titanium.
It was his back.
And then I go, are you okay?
He goes, I don't have a spine.
I had surgery.
My back is made out of fewer metal.
Please go inside.
I'm going into shock.
I was like, okay, no worries.
You're like, I've got a magnet.
Oh, it's this.
Yeah, literally.
I know.
I'm like, where are my car keys?
And that was a terrible date.
We never messaged.
He was in love with me.
That was terrific.
He's a very nice guy.
He probably listens to the podcast, to be honest.
It was very sweet, but it just didn't work out.
Mitchell, surely you've got one.
Come on.
Well, I wouldn't describe this as a terrible date,
but you know those scenarios where things go wrong,
but that kind of adds to it?
Yes. One time, one of my first dates that i went on with someone i messaged them
being like sorry i'm running late i'm still trying to find a car spot they were at a cocktail bar in
newtown waiting for me and then i was like why did i drive i'm drinking cocktails and i was on my
p's so i had to have mocktails.
It never even occurred to me that going to drinks,
you can't drive.
And so that was one thing.
But then walking back to my car, because I gave him a lift home,
I got my very first gay slur.
Oh, no.
Someone wound down.
It was a drive-by slur.
Oh, always the worst. Someone wound down their window and spotted us there with obvious electric chemistry and went,
Faggots!
Yeah.
And he was horrified.
But I was like, that's a milestone.
I'm thrilled.
That's a terrible story, Mitch.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
No, not at all.
It's fine.
You faggot.
We really should end and get out of here.
Yes, we should.
Happy anniversary, everyone.
This is the end of one whole year worth of Is It Just Me?
Can you believe it?
If you've been with us since day one, thank you very much for sticking around.
If you haven't, babe, you've got some catching up to do.
Get back and binge, for God's sake.
I do want to say I really am, honestly, this has been the best birthday of my,
I think, of my memorable life.
The lives that I can remember.
Those messages were genuinely beautiful.
And you'll be able to see, I don't know if there's a video coming,
but I was very teary the whole time.
And that message from Hayden too.
Yeah, I'll post the videos.
Don't you worry.
It was so nice.
Thank you to everyone that sent in messages.
I love you all.
That meant the world.
I feel very special.
Very lucky boy.
And I love you both.
Thank you very much.
Oh, ditto, John.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Happy birthday.
Thank you. Now, look, we have some John. Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Thank you.
Now look, we have some news, guys, before we go.
Yes. Obviously we've loved that
everyone has stuck with us throughout this
whole year that we've been doing this show, but
things are going to be a little bit different on the
show from now on because unfortunately
one of our team members, Jenna,
has decided to hang up the headphones.
She has.
God.
Jenna is leaving the podcast.
No, I'm not.
We wanted to do it at the end because we didn't want you guys to.
We just want to start the first episode.
I never even said that.
She's moving on to another opportunity.
Oh, no.
She's been approached by WSFM to do an exclusive podcast deal.
My thrush.
My thrush.
And it's all about her journey through
vaginal and oral thrush i know what you're doing and it's so sad i was shocked that she came to us
and told us originally that that's what was happening but best of luck best of luck jenna
we have this we have this montage of people that wanted to say hello to you and to say how much
they loved you on the show i'm'm not going. That was it.
There was no messages.
We couldn't not do it to you.
Not funny.
A bit of fun.
I enjoyed it.
I didn't.
One of the most convincing yet, Mitch.
By that reaction, Jenna, it almost implies that you actually want to be here.
No, I don't.
Yeah, someone thinks that you actually love us, Jenna.
Shut up. Jenna, that's actually one of the most beautiful things. And that's the end of the show. No, I don't. Yeah, some would think that you actually love us, Jenna. Shut up.
Jenna, that's actually one of the most beautiful things.
And that's the end of the show.
It is the end of the show. We'll be back.
Here's to the next year of Is It Just Me?
I'm going to cheers with an empty glass.
No, cheers, guys.
Cheers.
To another year.
I love you all and we'll see you guys next episode.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Is it just me?

Welcome to AD Debrief.
Hi.
This is the secret segment on the end.
Yeah.
I reckon possibly this is the briefest ADD brief it's ever been.
Yeah. But like don't fucking bitch
about it. We spoiled you. There was more than enough
content there. It's a very long episode.
So the reason that it's going to be brief
is because Mitch you're on air in literally five
minutes. Yeah my show starts in four minutes thirty seconds
to be honest. It's fine. We can all just go on
the three of us. On the radio? Yeah.
Live on kids. I think they're ready for two guys
and a girl. Sounds like an NBC sitcom from the 90s.
I actually haven't told you guys something that I've done.
For the one year anniversary I've organized something.
And I know you often go, Twitter isn't real.
Which it is.
Live tweets are available and currently switched on.
That was Ben Fordham to say congratulations on one year boys.
Thanks Ben.
And I'm not a boy.
No.
Well, he said boys with an asterisk and then there's girls.
It's very confusing.
I've installed something into the system to prove you all wrong,
something that is a podcast first.
I'm going to act about it now.
Hey, Alexa, what is the podcast?
Is it just me?
Sorry, I'm not sure.
Shit.
Hey, Alexa, what is the current weather in Kazakhstan?
Which city in Kazakhstan?
Shit, I thought this was going to work.
We've installed Alexa in the building.
So we have Alexa for a radio first, podcast first.
In our show, we can ask her questions whenever.
Jenna is retired from asking Google questions.
Hey, Alexa, play the podcast, Is It Just Me?
Here's Just from TuneIn.
Who is my neighbour?
Oh, fuck off!
Oh, this is one of our best.
This is great.
You're listening to Just.
Stories about the people working to build thriving communities rooted in justice.
I'm Jess Everhart, co-founder of Black Wall Street Homecoming.
Get rid of that.
A lot of words in that.
Word economy, Jess.
Well, I really thought that was going to work.
I mean, it did, but it was woeful.
It's really a shame.
That was Alexa. She says, sorry, I'm having an off day's really a shame. That was Alexa.
She says, sorry, I'm having an off day.
We all have off days, Alexa.
Well, we really should end this.
Why don't we end it with one more quick question
because I have like a minute until my show is on.
I told you, I'm happy to go on.
No, no, let's do one more.
Laura Emart says, oh, this is very sweet.
What advice would you give your high school self
considering how successful you guys are now?
Goodness me.
Let's quickly end it on a positive note. Oh, God. Very sweet. What advice would you give your high school self considering how successful you guys are now? Goodness me.
Let's quickly end it on a positive note.
Oh, God.
I'd say lay off the hash brown rolls at the canteen, buddy.
You'll be eating a lot of shit when you move out of home with your partner.
Say partner, don't want to scare him.
He'll be terrified if he knows he's gay in five years.
I would say don't feel bad about not fitting in with the cool kids now because even as you're an adult, you still won't,
but the cool kids are actually very boring
and your crowd is more than enough.
That's very good advice.
And Jenna didn't have schooling when she was growing up.
No.
Women weren't allowed to, they just had to churn butter.
They used to just etch shit into rocks.
Yes. Meaningful. That't allowed. They just had to churn butter. They used to just etch shit into rocks. Yeah.
Yes.
Meaningful.
That was education.
One year down.
It was a pleasure having you guys along for the journey.
And yeah, we will be back next week.
So don't worry.
Back to normal.
Back to normal programming.
What do we got planned next week again?
Oh my God.
Well, I've got an update on my fridge magnet that I was challenged to get.
Yeah.
I have audio that I'll play.
I haven't got it yet, but I came very close.
Oh my God. We've got fucking 50 seconds. Yeah, we do. Shit. I'm telling you, just leave the mics on and we'll go on to it. No, audio that I'll play. I haven't got it yet, but I came very close. Oh my god, we've got fucking
50 seconds. Yeah, we do. Shit. I'm telling you,
just leave the mics on and we'll go on to you.
No, no, no. I also, what else do we have? We were talking
about it before. Jim Rossington. Yes, Jim Rossington.
TikTok famous. He will be
joining us. He and I have teamed up for
something, actually. We'll tell you all about it next
week. And we're going to be
getting, what is it again? A teacher
on. We are getting, because Mitchell Coombs is apparently part of the rubric
for the New South Wales Board of Education, they teach his video to kids.
They show my shit in class, weird.
And I'm getting a teacher on to teach us what they teach the students
about Mitchell Coombs.
We're diving into the rubric.
We've got 10 seconds.
We have to go.
Thank you for one year.
We love you all.
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.
Thank you, guys.
Here's to the next year.
Thanks for listening, guys.
See you next week.
Goodbye.
