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.
Hi, everyone.
Hello, welcome.
How are we all?
I'm good.
How are you?
Oh, I'm just on top of the world.
You know me.
Great to have you here.
Jenna's here as well.
Groundskeeper Jenna.
Hello.
Our trusty third wheel.
You've not been wagging Zumba for us for quite some time.
I know.
Do you still go?
Not as regularly, no.
Due to us or you've just given up?
No, due to COVID.
Oh, right.
Oh.
Due to the worldwide pandemic.
So you would be there if it weren't for the pandemic holding you down.
Oh, right.
I'm back at Pilates, though.
Oh.
I know, but.
I'm not back.
I'm not returning anyway.
I'm not even walking.
You know that it was your birthday last week here on the show.
And I was going to, as a prank, I was going to make like a fake voucher to my Pilates studio
being like, admit one, ten free sessions to Pilates
just to freak you out, but I didn't get time to.
I just would have loved to have seen your face.
I'm not bloody horrified by the thought of physical exercise.
I do it.
Yeah, but it's Pilates.
Yeah, what is Pilates?
Is it yoga with a band or something?
Yeah, it's a lot of core strength and stuff like that.
But yeah, they keep you calm so you don't realise how much exercise you're doing.
Oh, that's actually quite nice.
The core's my worst part.
I couldn't even get off the couch last night.
I had a 1.5 kilo tub of Messina on my lap and I couldn't put my hands down because it
melted on my fingers.
All I could use was my core and my two little walrus legs and I had to put my legs in the
air like I was giving birth and throw them forward. But they couldn't get past the ottoman.
So I was like this.
Like a turtle on its back.
I finally got like centripetal force to get me to a point.
And then you know when you go and I went like.
I'm going back!
So I had to put the ice cream down and that was horrific.
But yeah, the core is mine.
How big was this ice cream tub, I beg your pardon?
1.5 litres.
Okay.
It's better value than buying.
It's $6 every time at a Messina.
Otherwise, you spend $30 on a 1.5 and it'll last you a good week.
You well researched your ice cream.
Yeah, I did.
I actually did.
But welcome to the show, guys.
If it's your first time listening, I'm Mitch.
That's Mitch.
That's Granddad's Keeper Jenna.
We do this every week.
I've tried a new thing, right?
And if I ever grimace at you during the show, it's not because I'm mad at you.
For my birthday, my sister gave me like rack the show, it's not because I'm mad at you.
For my birthday, my sister gave me like rack off, whatever it's called,
the nail lacquer that stops you from biting your nails.
Oh, that really bitter tasting stuff that you paint on.
Tastes like anthrax.
Yeah, but I feel like, was it you I was talking to about this where you said that you've tried it before
and you just end up getting used to the foul taste?
Yeah, this is a new one.
I think every year they have to change the flavours.
Maybe they've got seasonal pumpkin spice anthrax.
Who knows?
Is this one stronger?
This one is horrific.
I can smell.
I was driving the car.
I'm like, oh, the petrol.
Something's wrong with the petrol.
But it was just the anthrax on my nails.
So I'll call you out if I see you gagging because you've just been using it.
Or if you hear me dry heaving on this side of the microphone, you'll realise.
Okay, good.
But yeah, welcome back.
We start the show the same way every week.
To Is It Just Me?
Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
I can tell you one thing.
This week I'm actually doing something that I appreciate.
Oh!
Which is rare.
We often win.
We have some people who often write in and go, you're often telling us things that you
hate or notice, but you've never appreciated anything on the podcast.
Well, I've got something I appreciate for you this week.
That'll be nice for a change.
I have something that...
I need someone who listens to this podcast
but has never seen what we look like.
Well, we've kind of shot ourselves in the foot there
because we've put our picture on the podcast thumbnail now.
Oh, no!
So if they're listening, they've already seen us.
Fuck!
Well, now I've got to think of a new one!
No, I'll still do it because there's audio and everything.
No, if, yeah, it'll work out.
Just trust me. Okay.
But we also have a guest on today's episode.
Yes, later on. Yeah, if you're
on TikTok, oh I'm going to get it wrong
Jenna, I know Mitch tells us, I can't remember,
it's like Jim Tiffington or something.
What's his name?
Jim Rossington.
Jim Rossington.
I've been talking Mitch through this off air, guys.
It's Jim Rossington.
He keeps being like Brett Livington.
He can't get it in his brain that it's Jim Rossington.
He's massive on TikTok.
Mitch Patrickson.
Just like a first name, a second name with sin on the end of it.
Jenna Mitchelson.
Well, he and I teamed up to do a Kath and Kim themed TikTok.
So we'll get him on later to chat about it.
God, all right.
We'll get Tim.
I really want to see if we can get him to speak in a normal voice.
He's just in Kath today night mode all the time.
And he's such a funny guy.
Like, I actually think he's hilarious.
And he's very.
But then we're talking like, hi, how are you?
Like always.
No, he does.
He puts on a real Kath and Kim voice.
I mean, let's be frank,
that's what it is.
But is he putting it on
or is that just his voice?
Yeah, let's ask him point blank
to put on his straight voice,
his normal voice.
Maybe because he's doing a podcast,
he'll be a bit more subdued.
Because when you're on TikTok,
maybe he feels that he's doing a performance
and he needs to, you know,
amplify himself.
Very true.
But here, maybe he'll be a bit more relaxed.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's it.
No surprises for me this week.
No, that was last week that it was your birthday.
I thought I spoiled you enough for one week.
No, I'm not over it.
Also, I've made some changes.
Remember the montage that you made me for my birthday?
Yeah, last week.
Messages from hordes of fans and friends.
Brought you to tears, even.
Brought me to tears.
Not easy to do unless the ice cream machine
is broken at Macca's.
And I've edited that
so in case you guys
are ever rude to me
actually I'll most likely
use it every week.
I've removed all the
references to birthday
so it's just completely
universal now.
Oh it's evergreen.
So when you two are being
cunts it's completely
evergreen.
So I just use it
at my disposal
whenever I feel a bit upset.
I can just throw to it.
Hey Mitch, it's Kaylin.
Wishing you a massive happy birthday.
You're one of the funniest people ever.
I feel so good.
I could use this at Easter.
I could use this at Hanukkah.
No reference to my birthday.
You'd never know that this was tailored to my 25th.
I'm going to spend all our days and make us smile and laugh so much.
So have an amazing day.
And remember,
it's just a Wednesday.
It's Indira here.
I just wanted to say,
King,
I hope you hear that this message
just makes you feel happy.
It does.
Hey Mitch, it's Vinny.
Hi Vinny.
I just wanted to jump on here
and say happy fucking birthday, Alan.
I really hope you don't mind.
Yeah, it makes perfect sense.
I'm actually in this really long speech
of how funny you are.
You sick fuck.
You're just going to have this audio montage of compliments on standby whenever you need a boost.
Keeps going.
Love you guys.
To Mitch Churl.
We love you.
To Mitch.
Look at you.
She could use that on any day.
Really?
I actually should make that my ringtone.
That would make me feel so happy.
You're whipping that out whenever you're a cut.
Alright, should we start the show?
Sure, why not?
Who's going first?
You go first this week.
Okay, I will do.
First Idjim of the week.
Let's go.
Is it just me or...
Do you think Miley Cyrus can cover any song and make it better?
Oh, oh.
You know what?
I said this to you last week.
I liked Miley, but I wasn't a Miley fan.
And then I listened to her Joe Rogan podcast,
and I'm in love with her.
So the answer is yes, she can do anything.
She was really revealing in that interview, wasn't she?
She was so revealing.
I still haven't listened yet.
But yes, I am a massive Miley fan.
So perhaps I'm biased.
But I think that she can make any song better when she covers it.
Heart of Glass?
Yes, exactly.
That's actually why I brought this up.
So she was at the iHeartRadio Music Festival last month
and she did a cover of Heart of Glass by Blondie.
I did hear that.
And due to popular demand, it's now been added to streaming services
because it was that popular.
Wow.
So take a listen.
I did notice on TikTok the other day, the audio has blown up
on TikTok as well.
Yeah.
And I noticed people were arguing in the comments about whether it's better than the original.
So you be the judge.
Okay, here we go. What do you reckon?
Very good, isn't it?
It is.
I feel like that's not her best cover because she sounds like she's struggling to get that high.
It sounds like that's a lot of work.
Yeah, her voice is very comfortable at husk and that was really pushing it.
I agree, but it still sounded great.
But yes, lots of arguing about whether that's better than the original.
I obviously am a bit biased to Miley.
It's not better, but it's very good.
It is very good.
It's not my favourite cover of hers, though, so I'm doing a top five.
Oh, is that what all these are?
I've got a bunch more to play.
Wow.
So that was number five.
Okay.
Number four, we've got Miley's cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton.
Dolly, who's her godmother, isn't she?
Yes.
I remember seeing this cover.
It blew up as a meme on Facebook.
It was because this was when Miley just became like filth.
Remember how she cut her hair and started carrying on?
Oh, then she grounded on that man on the stage.
So, yes, that's right.
So this video was before that when she had the beautiful long brown hair
and was all pure and nice.
And they were like, Myla needs to stop with the, you know, the antics.
She just has a beautiful voice.
That's more than enough.
Like basically people were saying that when you strip her back,
she's just got an amazing voice.
So here it is, Jolene.
All right.
Jolene, Jolene, J it is, Jolene. It's a real knee slapper, isn't it? I think it's good, yes.
And it's only fourth on your list?
Yeah, I think there's better than that.
Really?
I would have put it higher.
Nah.
I think this beats the original.
One, I just haven't seen the original.
I haven't heard the original, I should say.
I've got this weird thing where I just can't stand Dolly Parton.
Really?
Yeah, I don't know why.
Casey Musgraves is the new Dolly Parton, by the way.
You know, she's really fulfilling the role that Dolly did.
I don't see that at all.
No, that's not right.
That's what they say, to be honest.
I've heard it said that Casey Musgraves is the new Shania Twain.
Oh, I'll take that.
That makes a lot more sense.
Okay, fair enough.
That was a good number four.
I think it's better.
All right, well, coming in at number three,
this is her cover of Ariana Grande's No Tears Left to Cry.
And there were lots of people in the comments pointing out that they didn't realize what the lyrics to the song were before hearing it, because Miley speaks quite clearly when she sings it.
And I thought the same thing.
So here it is.
Take a listen. Tears in my body, I ran out, but boy, I like it. I like it.
I like it.
Don't matter how, what, where, who tries it.
We out here vibing.
We vibing.
We vibing.
Come in, out, even when it's raining down.
Can't stop now.
Can't stop, so shut it? It is very different. Like all the time Ain't got no desire to cry
It's very different, isn't it?
It is very different.
I don't prefer it, I've got to be honest.
Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily say that one's better,
but it is one of my favourites because it's quite different.
Yeah.
Did you realise those were the words?
No, I had no idea.
Ari just sounds like a breveled teapot half the time,
just like whistling.
So I'm surprised that
there are actual words in that i don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out but i have seen a
lot of memes making fun of ariana for being a bit like slurry oh my god yeah like when she says rain
on me in that gaga song that she does she's like Yeah. I was in TikTok. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or her laugh. Stop it.
Actually, Janet, you were very Ari-like in your giggle.
You're very ethereal.
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
No, that would be ugly.
Don't try in your normal state.
Speaking of Ariana, coming in at number two.
Another one?
This is a big one.
This is a song that Miley did with Ariana. Oh.
And this is one where she really embraced the deep voice,
which I love about Miley.
Me too.
So they did Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House.
Oh, beautiful.
Okay.
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My position, the cause, I make suspicion
But there's no proof
And in the paper today
It tells a foreign voice
But you turn right over
To the TV page
Hey now, hey now
Dream, it's over
Hey now, hey now I do like this.
It's very good, isn't it?
Very ethereal.
But I mean, it's just Miley singing the songs.
I can't pick one or the other.
It's very hard. I think they're better because her voice is just a league of its own. Like, it's just Miley singing the songs. I can't pick one or the other. It's very hard.
I think they're better because her voice is just a league of its own.
Like, it's amazing.
Right.
Was Ari in the bathroom for that bit?
Where was she?
You're like, with Ariana.
She wasn't there.
Did you not hear Ariana?
No.
Ari wasn't in that one.
She was.
Miley goes, hey now, hey now.
And then Miley goes, oh, sorry.
Ariana goes, don't dream it.
I thought it was Miley the whole time.
Why would they two voices? Get forward. Okay. This is all Miley in the verse, sorry, Ariana goes, don't dream it. I thought it was Miley the whole time. No, no.
Let me go again. Why would say two voices?
Get forward.
Okay.
This is all Miley in the verse.
Yeah, I thought so.
Miley.
Ari.
Yeah.
Oh, there she is.
Oh, yeah.
Miley.
Miley.
Ari.
How did you not notice that?
They've got such different voices.
They really complement each other well, though.
They do.
There's literally two people singing now.
What would that day on set be like?
Ari's like, I need to warm up my voice.
Miley's like, hey, Ari, you want to join?
Miley's like...
Hey, Ari.
Yeah.
I'll take the low notes.
Speaking of...
Yes. This next cover. Oh, next cover coming in at number one.
What was happening then?
Yes.
I believe this is my favourite.
The all-time Miley cover.
I think so.
When you look at the YouTube video, she can barely open her eyes. I'm quite convinced that she was blazed out of her mind.
Yeah.
And that really adds to the vibe, to be honest.
So coming in at number one,
it's Miley's cover of Happy Together by The Turtles.
Oh, I've never heard of them.
Well, I know the song.
You know the song.
Okay, The Turtles.
Here we go.
If I could call you up and miss the dime
Would you say you belong to me?
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine fine so happy together
i can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life
when you're with me baby The skies will be blue
For all my life
What do you think?
Did she sound blazed or not?
Oh, she's so cool.
That's her best.
I can smell it.
I love this.
This is Freaky Friday for me.
Me too.
This is Lindsay Lohan, the irony.
And Jamie Lee Curtis.
Jamie Lee Curtis!
They remade that movie.
It was terrible.
Oh, the musical version?
Was there a musical version?
Oh.
Yeah, but you know that Freaky Fry is remade.
Of the original, yeah.
Jodie Foster was in the original in the 60s.
Really?
Yeah.
As the daughter?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
There's another.
Well done, Miley.
Well done, Miles.
Is anyone going to contest that?
Is that the number one spot or not?
What has she covered?
I've got one that I think I enjoy.
Let me have a look.
Oh, are you going to play your own audio?
Yeah.
Oh, all right.
Well, I would say that would be number one.
Thank you, Jen.
But I would say number two would be Jolene.
Nah.
This is my favourite.
Miley cover.
Considering she didn't write it, it might be an ad.
No worries.
Alan's always a male vegan.
That's great news.
What is this?
This is live.
This is breadcrumbs.
Live in London.
I see what you mean.
Baby voice.
This isn't a cover.
Yeah, she didn't write it.
Hannah Montana.
That's not the point.
It's not someone else's original song.
She's still singing.
It's a Disney original song.
This is Kenny Ortega.
Oh, that's O.G. Miley for me.
I prefer to pretend that era didn't happen.
Do you think she'd be on this stage thinking,
one day I'll be blazed up singing a song with Ariana Grande?
Possibly.
Apparently she hit it quite young, but I don't know.
She did hit it quite young.
It's in the
interview you've got to listen she says she um attests her health to fish oil now oh there you
go drinks a lot of fish oil and she tells the story about putting talcum powder and cream on
a dog's rectum it's a great it's a great interview really it sounds a lot like this yeah that's quite
a hook to be honest um i think you're right i think number one is best so well done great bring
us back with another cover.
What do you call it?
Cover contest?
We'll have to do another one.
I think it's a regular thing.
It's the Nijm top five.
Yeah, I quite like it.
All right, are we ready for mine?
Now I am.
Okay, here we go.
Is it just me or...
Is it the worst feeling when you Google what your favourite podcast hosts actually look like?
Yes.
And you realise that they're utter trash.
Wow.
Who did you discover to be utter trash?
You.
Hey.
When I met you, I was a not my cup of beer listener.
And then I Googled.
First of all, I thought you were the psychic.
I went, no, no.
There's another Mitchell Coombs who killed his wife and kids in Prague. Get back on track. Anyway, and then i googled first of all i thought you were the psychic i went no no there's another mitchell coombs who killed his wife and kids in prague get back on track no it's the the um stuff that i want you to know podcast it's just a conspiracy theorist podcast
i really quite like it and i listen and i've got a grab um and i want you to tell me what you think
they look like i've got a couple grabs and i want you to sort of describe them and then i'll show
you a photo and you tell me if that lived up to your expectations.
Okay, based off the voice.
Based off the voice.
So I've got like a 15-second grab, stuff that I want you to know.
This is my example, too.
So I listen to these guys at midnight, too, leaving work, and it's a spooky podcast.
I wouldn't recommend it at night.
Jenny, you listen to it, too?
Yes, I've just started.
Very good.
All right, here we go.
Stuff that I want you to know.
A lot about that family.
I can imagine there were probably numerous people in law enforcement that felt that way.
I can fix it, Adam.
I edited it on the fly.
You're very prepared today. Right.
I think that changed the hearts and minds of a lot.
Right. And so, the scandals
continue to unfold.
What do you think? What do you get from it?
I'm just picturing very generic
looking men, to be honest really yeah
i'm picturing a guy i've never i've listened to the podcast but i don't know how they look
i picture one of them to have like long hair and kind of big and yeah and the other one to be
bald yes i pictured like you know maybe hairy big beard conspiracy theorist right again all right
here we go stuff i don't want you to know i think that changed the hearts and minds of a lot of right and so the scandals he looks like
that first one that spoke he looks like the guy that played mike on friends what's his name again
paul rudd oh paul rudd okay yeah and then jenna the other one the deep voice at the very end
i think he's a bold guy okay here we go This is the cast of stuff that I want you to know.
No, it isn't.
Which one's which?
Beard is the first guy.
Oh.
I know.
They're not at all like Paul Rudd.
Not at all like Paul Rudd.
Completely shocking.
What did you say that they looked like when you first started talking about this?
They look woeful or something.
What was the adjective? I don't remember.
I wasn't that mean.
Those poor guys.
I should send them this audio.
Maybe dreadful.
Dreadful. This is Jenna's favourite podcast. It's not my favourite. What was the adjective? I don't remember. It wasn't that mean. It's poor God. I should send them his audio. Maybe dreadful. Now, this is Jenna's favourite podcast.
It's not my favourite.
What's it called?
It's called My Favourite Murder.
Jesus.
You featured on it.
That's why you listened.
You wanted to see if your crime had been reported.
Here we go.
This is MFM, My Favourite Murder.
And Jenna has a photo.
I haven't seen them either.
So I'm going to describe them too.
This is Georgia Hardstar.
This is Karen Kilgariff.
We're from the My Favorite Murder podcast.
And this is the first time.
Interesting.
Okay.
I need to hear that one more time, do you?
Yeah.
Okay.
This is Georgia Hardstark.
This is Karen Kilgariff.
We're from the My Favorite Murder podcast.
And this is the first time.
I reckon one of them has a red bandana on.
I pictured a bandana.
Oh, my God.
Why?
I don't know.
Why did you picture a bandana?
There's just something Cancer Council looking about.
There is something.
Yeah, it's a bandana.
I pictured a bandana and one of them has real quirky glasses and a beaded necklace, like
a thick beaded necklace.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like big round, like an abacus bead almost.
I think they're both like super thin.
Like their collarbones really come out of their body.
Yes, yes, yes.
One of them might even have a shawl.
That's all I'm thinking.
I reckon one of them is blonde and super tan.
She goes to the beach a lot.
She looks a little bit leathery.
She's old.
And the other one, I reckon bob cut.
Definite bob cut.
Hair does not touch the shoulders.
No way.
Not with a podcast.
Gets in the front of the microphone.
She could never.
All right, what are they?
Kathy Landgraf and...
Karen.
So Karen, the first one.
Yep, yep.
She's 50.
Oh, okay.
Nailed it.
Yep.
Second one, Georgia.
She's 40.
Okay.
This is how they look.
Oh.
No.
Oh!
She looks like Darth Vader.
That's the first one, Karen.
And that's the other one.
Her hair looks like Darth's helmet.
It really does.
Oh, she's got an eyebrow on it, doesn't she?
That's a point.
Oh, they both love a lace shirt.
Yeah, wow.
Okay.
So you were thinking that we should get someone who has no idea what we look like.
Correct.
So my plan is I want you.
So if you listen to this podcast, and Mitch has a good point, our photos are now in the
thumbnail, right?
And also in this era of social media,
most of our listeners have come from TikTok where they've seen videos of us.
If you haven't, I don't know, if we're lucky and someone doesn't know
what we look like and you're listening to this,
I want you to be there for them to write in to us.
They're going to have to go to our goddamn Instagram.
Yeah.
Or even send it to a friend.
Send it to a friend?
Yeah, and ask them to listen to it. Oh, that's a good challenge. This is becoming quite a task, yes. Someone will do it. Or even send it to a friend. Send it to a friend? Yeah, and ask them to listen to it.
Oh, that's a good challenge. This is becoming quite a task.
Someone will do it. Someone will do it. Play
some audio to one of our
videos. We just don't show them the screen.
Why don't you just call a random number and ask
them what they think we look like?
Oh.
Now that's how you produce, bitch.
Just call a random cold call number.
Oh, I don't know. Jenna, pick a business. Oh, okay. Okay you produce, bitch. Just call a random cold call number. Oh, I don't know.
Jenna, pick a business.
Oh, okay.
Okay, go for it.
Let's see.
What about the... Let's go.
Instead of asking our fucking listeners to jump through hoops, text a friend, send them
the podcast on Dropbox so they can't see it, get them to record their thoughts and then
send them back to us.
Nah, too much work.
It's not a good idea.
Who's someone that would play along?
What's the profession that it's like they're loose, they don't really mind?
JJs.
You there, Cole?
JJs are fun.
They're busy wearing Rick and Morty t-shirts.
They don't give a shit if someone calls.
Harry Potter.
They've got the Friends merch.
Yeah.
I'm a Gryffindor.
No, you're not.
You're a 16-year-old working retail.
Get a grip.
I'm a Hufflepuff. No, you're not. You're a 16-year-old working retail. Get a grip. I'm a Hufflepuff.
No, you're not.
JJ's in the quarry.
This is Dylan speaking.
Hey, Dylan.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
How are you?
That's good.
Hey, good.
I'm a JJ shopper.
My name's Mitch.
I'm actually on a podcast.
We're recording now, but I'm here with my co-host Mitch.
His name's Mitch.
Hi.
It's a heart of Dylan.
We just want someone who doesn't listen to our podcast to describe what they think we'd
look like based on our voice.
Right.
So all I want from you, Dylan, and I'll come in and buy a pair of elasticised ankle chinos,
what do you think my voice, what do you think I look like?
Brown hair, Caucasian.
Oh, yeah. Go on. Slender or? Pardon? Is he lean or is
he a big fat thing? No. Somewhere in between. Yeah. Yeah, he's not wrong. Okay. And big
smile, small smile, like eyes, sort of happy face. Tall or short, how did he wear his hair?
He wear his hair.
Big smile.
Okay.
Hair. Hair up.
Up.
Hair up.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
And shoe size?
11.
Okay.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head, apart from the fact that he's enormous.
Yeah.
Not enormous, but I wouldn't fit in JJ's.
I'd have to go to Johnny Big Man next door.
All right.
Now, Mitch.
Mitch, say hi.
All right, Dylan.
What do you think I look like based off my voice, mate?
I'm running out of time, so I've got to go.
Okay, quickly, give some characteristics.
Hi, Dylan. How are you? My name's Mitchell.
Could you let me know what I sound like
based off my voice, please?
I'm going to say blonde.
Interesting. Short? Short.
Loves to be around other people?
Yes.
Couldn't be. Couldn't be.
Yeah, couldn't be further from the truth.
Thanks, Dylan.
It's called Is It Just Me?
You'll hear yourself.
Awesome, thank you.
Thank you, see ya.
Bye.
I don't think he retained any of that.
He wasn't listening.
I don't think he gave a shit, to be honest.
No.
Anyway, I've got the voice of a gorgeous blonde extrovert.
Who would have thought?
Here's a question for you.
Is this podcast better than
listening to fingernails on a chalkboard?
If you answered
yes, you should leave a five-star
rating on the Apple Podcast app.
You're listening to Is It
Just Me? Now, Mitchell, I know
you like to brag about how you went to theatre
school in New York and you're an actor and all that
shit. It's not that true, but I did scholarship, yeah.
Well, I'm now, I'm coming for your territory.
I'm now an actor too. Are you?
Did you see my TikToks last week?
Oh, it's hard to bloody miss you. Sponsor page
for you, Instagram. Fucking only
for you everywhere. Only fans.
Oh, I'd pay, to be honest. I'd pay to see what you
were doing and then I would quickly unsubscribe.
I would, of course I would. What friend wouldn't want to see their other friend to see what they've got? I wouldn't pay to be honest. I'd pay to see what you were doing, and then I would quickly unsubscribe. I would.
Of course I would.
What friend wouldn't want to see their other friend to see what they've got?
I wouldn't pay to see you, just so you know.
Just quietly.
Anyway, last week on my TikTok, you might have seen my Kath and Kim in Melbourne lockdown.
Oh, I did.
Impressions.
Did it make any sense to you?
You don't watch Kath and Kim.
No, but I've said this before.
It's kind of like watching MasterChef, you know?
So I haven't never seen it, but I know that they cook and I know it's very stressful.
Right.
Okay.
We follow along the plot of Kath and Kim.
Well, I've always thought that I've done a very good Kim impression.
Kim in particular.
That's me.
Yeah.
And the Kath to my Kim was Jim Rossington, who joins us now.
Jim, hello.
Welcome to the podcast.
Hello.
Hi. Hi. Hi, Mum. How are you? Oh, you know, who joins us now. Jim, hello. Welcome to the podcast. Hello. Hi.
Hi.
Hi, Mum.
How are you?
Oh, you know, I'm doing great.
How funny was it that we actually made this happen
after all these people for months tagging us in posts together going,
do you guys know each other?
Have you met?
What is it about, like, us two that people wanted to see a collab?
It was weird.
I have no idea.
Your brand, Jim, and I follow you.
I've been following you for a while, even before I knew this was happening.
And your brand, Mitch, are very similar, right?
It's like you're not directly quoting Kath and Kim,
but it's very Kath and Kim.
Even the delivery.
It's a gay thing as well.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you just get put in that one corner.
Do you find that you always get yourself told,
oh, you sound just like, insert effeminate man here,
and it's always people who don't sound anything alike.
I've been told I sound like Mr G, Reese Nicholson, Joel Creasy,
and I just feel like none of them sound alike to each other.
Who do you get, Jim?
I get Cam from Modern Family.
I've got a Jack Fidgen and I don't even, I'm not even a singer.
I'm just like, let's not compare, please.
Jack Fidgen's pre-Veniers, though.
Like the embarrassing Jack Fidgen.
Before the work.
Not the white pearl.
No, definitely not.
Well, I do like the band.
No, but I get the exact same.
Joel Creasy, the wrist Nicholson.
It's all there.
I get a lot of those bands.
And he gave us, looks slightly similar.
Yeah.
The funny thing was that Jim and I did a bit of smoke and look slightly similar yeah the funny thing was that um jim and
i did a bit of smoke and mirrors to make this tiktok happen right so he's in melbourne i'm in
sydney we just filmed them separately and then he sent over his video and i put them together
and when i was watching the video he sent me i just laughed because i was like i don't even think
that's a cath day night impression that's just his voice yeah he sounds all he sounds exactly
the same even when he's not in costume.
It's in me now.
Is this how you talk?
Is this just your vernacular?
Like, look, it does come out.
If I have a wine or two, it really just bursts out of me.
But there's been people that are shocked when they hear me just, like,
talking on a normal level.
They're like, oh, I don't like this.
Go back to the TikTok voice.
And I'm like, all right.
Yeah, you made a real brand for yourself.
Right, yes.
Oh, no, it just blurts out of me.
I don't know.
I'm the same.
I'll be talking normally and then, like, it just kind of comes over me.
Not the Cath Day Night voice, but I've got, like,
a full, like, Caravan Park Mitchell comes out.
I'm like, all right, out of nowhere.
I'll just go full Bogan.
Yeah, and here he goes. And the slurs come out. You dog! Yeah. Oh, he's had of nowhere, I'll just go full Bogan. Yeah. Here he goes.
And the slurs come out.
You dog!
Yeah.
Oh, he's had a couple of drinks.
Yeah.
It's not good.
I actually think it's when you drink.
Like, I had something at mine a couple of weekends ago, and it really comes out.
You're like, can I have some of that rosé in the fridge, darling?
Yeah.
And I'm like, sure, take it.
It's not mine, but I'm scared.
Do you know what?
I've been told this interesting theory about why some country people in particular speak the way they do.
It's because they're so accustomed to flies, heaps of flies around in the air,
so that they learn to speak without opening their mouth too wide in case they swallow a fly.
Like, seriously, try and speak now without moving your lips much.
You'll sound like me.
Oh, okay.
We've got Jim Rossington on the show, and Jim is here.
Oh, my God, I'm really Aussie.
Holy shit.
G'day, mate.
G'day, mate.
Can't let any of the flies in.
Is it just me, the podcast?
That is so true.
Have you guys emptied the shit pit?
Oh, there goes a desert train.
What do you call them, the big trucks?
I don't know.
There's a land train.
Jenna, you try. Road train, I believe it's called. Road train. Hello. Hello. What do you call them? The big trucks? I don't know. There's a land train. Jenna, you try.
Road train, I believe it's called.
Road train.
Hello.
Who are you?
That kind of just sounds like Jenna.
Jenna just sounds like a mannequin, like the mummy.
Can you do like a mask voice, Jim, when you're not being super flambeau?
What's like the most masculine voice?
You know, how are we?
We're good.
No.
No, it's exactly the same.
If I went up to a woman and said that should probably run in fear
she would do your parents have a similar voice or no are you from the country i'm actually
probably a better question well yeah my parents are from the country they live on property um
my mum kind of teens at the theme uh but my dad's definitely the typical Aussie bloke that would
probably look at me and go oh you're pushed up yeah but we go with it it's all that family love
very true very true so you're actually in Melbourne lockdown I was just pretending for the TikTok but
you're actually in Melbourne lockdown I saw there was a TikTok you posted recently where you were a
bit overcome with emotion it can's full on, right?
I would never want anyone to go through this again.
It's the weirdest feeling to describe what this last eight or nine weeks has been.
It's just a new emotion that's been created on how we feel down here.
Yeah.
I feel like, I don't know if you can answer this question but like what actually
happened that made melbourne so much worse than the rest is there an answer yet i don't watch the
news anymore how the fuck did that happen this whole hotel thing and this whole sleeping around
with security guards that i don't know us melbourne people we like to party and rave so we probably
ruined it for everyone yeah it was the security guards fucking the the international travelers that had covid right and they were just spreading it amongst
each other they couldn't help themselves no they couldn't nothing like a fucking emeritan suite how
fancy i know a bit of value in a best western i know i hope she got the continental breakfast
after she got digged down oh my goodness, it's great to have you on.
Are there more videos coming?
It's funny because I think that I've started to have more ideas come to mind because the whole idea was to put, like, 2020 references into Kath and Kim,
like what they'd be like today.
I actually have audio from one of them if anyone hasn't watched them yet.
Okay, here we go.
This is the – is this the first one?
This is one of them.
I don't fucking know.
It's four. Oh, here we go. This is the is this the first one? This is one of the motherfucking, no. It's four. Oh mum,
you won't believe. Sharon's
tested positive to COVID again.
Oh, you're joshing me. That's
the third time now. Oh, her
mask rash is only getting worse.
Serves her right as far as I'm concerned.
She's really been getting up my goat ever since
she abandoned me for her new best friend
Kim Kardashian. Those two have been
thick as thieves ever since that Uber Eats ad.
Oh, no, Kim.
I think Sharon's newfound celebrity is a great thing.
Once we don't have to social distance anymore,
she'll be rubbing shoulders with foolish, even doolish celebrities.
In her dreams.
No, you wait, Mum.
I'm going to have even more instant brand followers than Sharon.
I've applied to be on Marriage at First Sight and Big Brother.
You got the big bit right.
Nailed it.
You really did.
Nailed it.
I would pay to see.
Is it Kath or Kim?
I get very confused.
Kath?
Who are you, Mitch?
I'm Kim.
Kim!
I'd pay to see Kim on reality TV.
Do you reckon they'd ever bring her back?
I don't know if you've seen Kath and Kim now,
but I think they're too old.
The Kim in particular,
because they're only two years apart in age, the actresses.
And so I think Kath could still be Kath,
but Kim looks too old to still be a 25-year-old.
I feel like Kim, because Kimmy's got a daughter now,
so I feel like she should relive the mother's career and bring it back.
That'd be good, wouldn't it?
Epony Ray.
Oh.
Epony Ray.
Kylie Minogue played?
Oh, played the kid?
Yeah, they did an episode where it was like a flash forward to the future
and Kylie Minogue played the daughter.
Oh, my God, that's so good.
It was a whole thing, yeah.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Oh, I love the video, guys, but now you've sort of pigeoned yourself
into that.
What other characters could you do?
Timon and Pumbaa?
There's Prue and Trude.
There's so many we could do.
Prue and Trude.
We're heading to Hollywood.
Lock it in.
I'd pay to see it.
Oh, great.
Well, now tell us about your TikTok stuff because I love what –
my favourite TikToks that you do are when you're just sitting
in the lounge room with a glass of wine and it's like a 20-second thing.
I could watch 100 of those on repeat.
That's it.
Are you, like, sort of blown away at how
quickly your page is taken up did you have any content creation before tiktok i did i well i did
a few youtube videos back in the day um and mitchell's known about them and they're a bit
embarrassing i'd love to hear them but um this just popped out of nowhere a bird flew into my
wall while i was having a coffee and i filmed it and then it burst online and there we go.
Oh, that's right.
I remember that video you posted with the bird flying into the wall.
Holy shit.
I didn't realise that was the first big one.
Yeah, I had a coffee with a bird and it went viral.
Jesus, that sounds like fun.
Now, Mitch over here,
I keep telling him that he needs to start posting more TikTok stuff.
I feel that he overthinks it a bit.
He goes, oh, I don't want to do it wrong.
It's literally the simplest shit like that,
like birds flying into windows that make it work.
Where do your ideas come from?
Where do my ideas come from?
It's just within like a two-minute interval.
It'll just pop up.
If I'm just holding a wine glass and I think of something stupid,
I'll just blurt it out.
And I think that TikTok's working because I'm not actually thinking.
Yeah, right.
I get so paranoid.
I'm like, I need to buy a DJI Pivot 360 gimbal so I can film.
I'm like, no, no one has that.
No one needs it.
But I feel like I do.
And then I put one up.
I literally have put old stories up and they've gone berserk.
But then the ones that I think about, no one cares about,
I spent an hour on the weekend putting one up and then I got copyrighted because I used Taylor Swift's song.
She's the last person you should be trying to rip music from.
All right, well, you've inspired me.
So you don't follow me back, but you don't have to.
I completely understand.
Oh, God, I'm getting straight.
I'll get on the blower straight after this and follow you back.
Please.
Thank you very much.
Are you going to go from like where are you going to take this TikTok thing?
I hate to sound like a careers advisor, but like when Melbourne International Comedy Festival is back,
is that a thing that you can see yourself doing?
I'll take it.
Oh, look, I'll be at the low gears with Ian Thorpe.
I'll be there.
All the other gay content creators, Ian Thorpe, Burt Newton, all the greats.
Exactly.
Get me there.
All right, guys, we'll go stalk him at Jim Rossington on Instagram
and TikTok, often topless on Instagram.
That's how you know it's him, often without a shirt.
Yeah, I have noticed that.
The brand on Instagram, because I follow you on both,
unfollowed on both, I'll have you know,
is very different from Instagram.
And your profile picture on TikTok just changed, I think,
to a shirtless pic.
Yes.
I noticed.
Yeah, one's bleeding into the other.
It's a two different lifestyle.
The agency that I'm with, they're like,
you need to start uploading the same content to Instagram.
I'm like, oh, the people over there will not enjoy it.
They don't know what's hit them.
I actually remember saying to you, Jim,
because I remember seeing your YouTube videos ages ago,
and then we followed each other on Instagram,
and I only saw Instagram.
And then this year when I found your TikTok,
I actually remember saying to you, I was like, fuck, I forgot.
You had such a personality.
Because, like, on your Instagram it's just photos,
and I forget that you're so, like, full of life.
Oh, God.
How fake are gay people?
I know.
They're awful.
We're the worst.
Oh, I'm following you now. My God, look fake are gay people? I know. They're awful. We're the worst. Oh, I'm following you now.
My God, look at this.
There's some butt stuff and some chest stuff.
Excuse me, you're not single, Dallin.
You keep your eye off him.
I know, I'm allowed to.
We follow each other.
Actually, no, I follow him.
I'll be calling back.
Wow, please do.
Please do.
Well, it was a pleasure having you on.
We can't wait to see the thought post bleed onto TikTok.
Yes.
And we can't wait to see you at the International Comedy Festival.
That'd be fun.
Let's get you there.
Yeah.
Well, thanks, guys.
I appreciate the love and the support.
Bye, Mum.
Bye.
Catch you later.
See you at Dallin.
Did I say Dallin?
No, no.
That's not a Cathy Kim thing.
Interesting.
I'll have to watch.
Next time we get you on, I'll have watched.
Okay.
Beautiful.
All right.
See you, Jim.
Well, what a lovely boy.
Are you inspired? Are you going to start making TikToks?
No.
Good chat.
Brett Timmington, yeah. Thank you very much, Lee Bevington.
What an inspiring man you were.
Imagine if he came to your high school to give
you a chat about
what you should do after school. Remember those people that
come and they're like two years out
and they go, this is what you should do.
If he was one of those people, I wouldn't even bother going to uni.
Why?
Because he inspired me.
Oh, right.
No, not the negative.
No, he actually is very inspiring.
He's very funny.
And the fact that he can make content makes me think, for Christ's sake,
I could have a million followers.
I'm pretty spewing that I've never been asked to go back to my school
and talk about my success, by the way.
Oh. We had to basically beg the newspaper to give a fuck about micro progression yeah I know
so is that my next challenge what oh what to book I accept I accept it I accept it you've got nothing
for me you're a terrible manager but here I am do it. That guy in Spider-Man that has a cigarette that is hard on Spidey,
but he's good for him.
You know that guy with the cigarette?
He owns the newspaper shop.
Yes, yes.
That's me.
What are you saying you're going to do?
I'm going to call up.
Listen here, kid.
You've got a big superstar.
Bonham Bray's in Bulking Gate.
You need him back?
Is this for our next You Gotta Hustle?
Yeah.
But how the fuck is me going to my old high school promoting our podcast?
Or do I have to mention it at assembly?
Because you have to not only mention it, but you have to, I don't know,
put pressure on me.
I've got to brainstorm it.
Managers don't make decisions on the spot.
Rose Byrne didn't get bridesmaid overnight.
True.
Wow.
All right, I'm enthralled.
You've got nothing for me.
No, I haven't.
I'm so sorry.
Speaking of schools, though, I believe next week you've got a teacher coming on who has
been teaching their class using my videos.
Correct.
Mitchell's original Bogengate tour video, which was the first video you ever posted
on.
Yes, and I'm just trying to make sense of how the fuck it's made its way into classrooms.
Yeah, we're getting hordes of comments going, is this the Bogengate boy I learnt about you in school?
And it's always English class.
And I'm like, I don't understand the comparison.
Like, I might understand HSA, but yeah, anyway.
She's coming on and she's going to explain
how her students reacted to my video as well.
That's kind of terrifying in itself.
Very fun.
Thank you to Brett Levington for coming on the show.
Jim Rossington.
Jess Rossington.
And we will see you guys next week.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Catch you then.
Is it just me?

Welcome to AD Debrief. This is our secret segment we put on the end hopefully we've tricked most people out of listening if you're one of the lucky ones that have discovered the secret
keep it to yourself we don't want people to know that this bit exists because it's kind of
it's kind of embarrassing the reason we call it add brief is because add attention deficit
disorder i've been diagnosed.
You have not.
I'm just highly suspicious because like me,
you're not very good at focusing.
No, I definitely have it.
I think you're worse than me.
Really?
In terms of focus.
It's getting worse too.
Because I've gotten treatment and medication and shit.
Also, now that you're treated, you can actually see it in me.
Yes, yes.
We'll give you some of your treatment.
I'm not giving you my prescription pills.
Why don't you crush one up and slip it into my drink,
like my Nesquik of a morning.
I have a strawberry one every morning.
And you feed dogs their medication and see if I'm more attentive.
And then you reveal it to me after a month.
You wonder why you're getting so much done.
Why?
I drugged you.
I'm not going to dope you.
That's fine.
You could.
Anyway, ADD brief because it's two people with ADD or suspected ADD
having a debrief.
Correct.
I've just activated live tweeting.
I just thought one was coming through, but it didn't.
That's weird.
You can tweet the show at any time,
and if we're doing the recording, it'll come through.
Oh, my God.
I didn't even turn that on and someone's...
That's crazy.
Jenna, answer the phone.
There's no phone.
I'll pick it up.
Hi, who's this?
Hey, it's Lizzo, and I'm on tonight with my boy Mitch Timmon.
She's back again.
Second time on the show.
That's actually crazy.
Anyway, so Lizzo, he's on the show.
I'm on the line.
That's ridiculous.
Pick it up again.
Ready?
What's going on?
This is Alicia, and I'm hanging out with Mitch till midnight.
Yeah, you are.
It's Alicia Keys.
She hung up.
LA phone service.
Okay, well.
Is that all?
That's crazy.
Well, I don't know.
The phone doesn't ring.
This will be someone terrible.
Picking it up.
Hello?
Hey, it's Dua Lipa.
And I'm hanging with Mitch till midnight.
You're just trying to flex about the people you've interviewed
on your radio show.
Fuck off.
They're all my friends.
I'm going to unplug the phone.
It's unplugged.
You don't have any interviews today, do you?
Oh, someone's ringing.
Literally right now.
Oh, my God.
I don't know, but I'll take it.
Hello, Mitchell speaking.
Hello.
This call is from the Investigation Division of Department of Home Affairs.
I did that too.
That's a bloody prank call.
Did you?
Yeah, and it said that somebody's stolen my identity and it's an arrest warrant.
I don't think it's a prank.
It's a scam.
Very different.
Oh, a scam.
Yeah.
I'm going to try and get some of my money.
Interesting.
Well, that's not a celebrity.
Unless that was Kiefer Sutherland in 24.
Well, welcome to the show.
No one has tweeted us, which is a shame.
Oh, well, that's all right.
Anyway, I'm going to call your school.
Should I do it now?
No.
You don't reckon?
Don't do it now.
I want to get you a booking.
No, it's literally, it's night time.
The school won't be open. Oh, and I'm probably going to, I'm going to have want to get you a booking. No, it's literally, it's night time. The school won't be open.
Oh, and I'm probably going to, I'm going to have to talk to Jack Frost management.
No, you won't.
I'm sure I will.
Jack Frost.
You'll have to call them another time because it's too late at night.
Is it the Bogengate High School?
No.
No.
There's no Bogengate High School.
There's no such thing.
I'm not telling you.
I don't want you to call them.
It's called the Vera Blue Memorial School.
No, it's not.
All right, I'll call them in a couple of weeks.
Do you know that I also went to high school with Ellie, the bachelorette?
You know how she's on there with her sister?
They're both from Park.
Holy shit.
They literally went to my school.
I remember when I first saw Ellie pop up on The Bachelor thinking, fuck, she looks familiar.
And then I never really questioned it any further than that.
And then one of my friends is like,
oh, you do realise that Ellie went to our school?
And then I just had this moment where my brain immediately pictured.
I was like, I can literally see her in her Year 12 jersey.
I remember her.
Like, I remember her from school now.
I can imagine her in the playground.
And I'm like, shit, I can't remember.
I can't believe I forgot that.
Bloody hell.
She was a lot older.
I think she was in Year 12 when I was in Year 7.
Small world. Yep. I got asked back to be the guest speaker at my hell. She was a lot older. I think she was in year 12 when I was in year 7. Small world.
Yep.
I got asked back to be the guest speaker at my school.
Bullshit!
I did.
Ha!
Why did you get asked?
I've already done it.
They asked me for a second time.
Oh, my God.
They asked me when I first started working at Kiss.
They're like, he's at Kiss, get him in!
I got my own night show.
They're like, get him back!
But the second time was cancelled due to COVID.
Wow.
Yeah.
I got asked a year after I graduated.
To do it.
And I'd done nothing, but I went along and did a speech.
Interesting.
I've been going back to afters to do mentoring, which is easy.
It's fun.
Yeah.
I like that.
But it's not the same as addressing the whole assembly being like, bitch, this is how you
get to where I am.
So you know how you were saying that Jim has inspired you to do TikToks?
Who's Jim?
Jim Rossington.
Oh, yes.
Spoke to him moments ago.
Craig Hutchinson.
I saw one the other day.
I'm just trying to find it.
And it was like perfect for you.
I probably don't even need to find it, actually.
Okay.

Kiss.
Premiere.
Stop.
Premiere-ing a new song.
No, stop.
I've been giving people sound effects in quite a while.
I just need to let you know that as a co-host, it's very difficult to react to the stupid
shit you play.
Like, where do I go from there? You announce the song there you announce tonight we're gonna be playing a brand new song it's like what the
fuck am i supposed to say to that because we're not and we're not a radio show and if we just sit
here and pretend to be a radio show that's fucking lame you're not wrong anyway no more sound effects
good boy that's my sound effect that's real. I got an Ethernet cable plugged into the desk.
Alicia Keys, what the fuck happened?
Just hung up on by a radio host and a fat one too.
That's fucking rude.
Oh, who's that?
Lizzo.
Same girl.
Is that actually saying same girl to Alicia Keys?
What?
That's Dua Lipa.
Fat cunt.
Jesus. What a bitch. do a leaper. Fat cunt. Jesus.
What a bitch.
I'm just going to disconnect the phone, Jenna.
There is no time.
All right, so next week we're all set for You Gotta Hustle.
Yeah, I'm going to do it.
I'm going to pitch you and I say no fee, so you're not going to get paid.
But then you've also got the teacher coming on.
It's a lot of school-themed stuff in one show, isn't it?
Yeah, true.
All right, we'll have to hold that.
What else do we have?
I don't know.
Oh, who bloody knows?
Also, you know what Hayden said?
He listened to the montage of all the people.
Yeah.
Admirating me.
And he's like, what did you-
Can you fucking WV40 that thing?
It's very annoying.
Oh, there you go.
Anyway, what did he say?
He said, oh, that's lovely.
What did you do for Coombs for his birthday?
And I said, well, we were off.
We weren't recording.
He was having his psychiatric lunch.
And I couldn't do anything.
And he went, that's disgusting.
Next year, you are going to have to double and triple that.
He also said the same for Jenna.
I said, well, we did a pretty big party for Jenna.
Oh, Jenna got all sorts of fanfare.
Jenna did.
Jenna got a taser.
Jenna got a taser.
Jenna got cookies. We had a private baker come Jenna got a taser. Jenna got cookies.
We had a private baker come in and hand deliver them. We actually did, yeah.
Shout out Georgie Bakes or whatever it is. Get baked
with Georgie. Get baked with Georgie. Delicious cookies.
Very good butter cookies out of our seven.
I wonder if my diabetes has spiked. I don't have diabetes
not yet.
I need to do something for your birthday next year.
The bar is very high.
Well, you've got a lot of months to think about it.
And I'm already thinking.
And now, can I actually reveal something to you?
Well, why?
I wasn't.
That would ruin the surprise.
No, no, no, no, no.
I wasn't going to.
But I think now, because I've tried hard to make it happen.
Well, he's looking at the sound effect.
No, I'm not.
It's going to be a dumb gag.
This was almost going to be on the show.
I was this close to having Lady Gaga on the show for your birthday. Yes, I can confirm this, actually. I almost had her on. It was a going to be on the show. I was this close to having Lady Gaga on the show.
Yes, I can confirm this actually.
I almost had her on.
It was a whole thing.
I pushed for Lady Gaga for my radio show so hard
because she was doing press around the time
because the gay album was launched.
What's it called?
You know what it's called.
Chromatica.
I know it.
I bought it.
We have the jockstrap in my top drawer.
Disgusting.
Also, we did get the jockstrap in there. It hasn't been worn yet. I contacted the label and I was pushing hard I bought it. We have the jockstrap in my top drawer. Disgusting. Also, we did get the jockstrap in there.
It hasn't been worn yet.
I contacted the label and I was pushing hard for Lady Gaga to get her on the show to wish
you a happy birthday for an interview.
Wouldn't that have been great?
Didn't happen.
Canceled.
Then I approached a Lady Gaga impersonator.
Yes.
This is where I came in.
This is where Jenna came in.
I would have been furious if you tried to prank me.
I know.
And I almost did until she blew up.
Have you heard the Lady Gaga impersonator?
No.
She is brilliant.
I thought she was pretty terrible.
Really?
Yeah, she's not very good.
And I messaged her and said, hi, can I get you to record a message for my friend?
She said, of course.
And I went, brilliant.
Then she blew up on TikTok, right?
And messaged me and said said you can only book me through
cameo and i went out it's like 190 us dollars to book her through cameo oh really fuck that
no way cost him nothing to get those audio messages i'm not spending 190 usd oh you think
that cost me nothing do you but your time how about i draft up an invoice for my freelance
raid and i'll see how much that present actually costs. CC the Arctic.
But anyway.
Would you have been very blown away if I had the real Gaga?
Obviously.
That would be the best gift you've ever received.
Oh.
Oh.
What's the best gift to date?
The gift of life.
Lady Gaga.
Yes. Your big brother wanted me to wish you the most amazing birthday.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like her.
I would have picked that straight away.
No, it's not.
It's not her.
Hayden, no.
Stand by.
Janet, turn that rubbish off.
You know, this is $150 to get her to...
Calling Hayden, he'll know.
To do a terrible impression.
Yeah.
We only FaceTime, we don't call.
We have unlimited data, but don't call. We have unlimited data but not unlimited calls.
Hi.
Look at this.
Look at this shit.
No, he's going to go on a rant.
Oh, we got Nando's.
Oh, okay.
Look how fucking small this quarter chicken is.
Leave a negative review, you'll get the free chicken.
I do it everywhere.
Just for, like,
you know, scale. Comparison, yeah, that's like
a thumb. I'm with
Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Wait, no, I'm Mitch.
What's the name of the Lady Gaga impersonator?
Remember the one I was going to...
Chase Icon. Oh,
Chase Icon. Chase Icon. Yeah.
Alright, we'll find it. Thank you, we love you, enjoy your chicken.
Alright, love you, bye.
Hi, Miss Kimmy Kane.
This is Chase Icon.
You gave me the option to either uplift you or absolutely roast you.
Okay, that's a bit closer.
Well, guess what, girl?
I'm going to let you in on a secret.
You're a legend.
If it was a message like that, I would definitely, I reckon I'd pick it.
But if it was over the phone, it was a bit muffled, you might have fooled me.
But you would have lived to regret it.
Yeah, and you know what lived to regret it. Yeah.
And you know what?
Look how she looks.
Yeah, that's weird.
Can I tell you, I approached your good friend, Aislinn, who did not...
I don't want to have lunch, but I'm like, I'll make up a tea.
And I said, I'm going to do this for Mitri's birthday.
And she went, don't you fucking dare, because he will never talk to you again.
Almost talked me out of doing the prank.
Well, almost.
I think she did talk you out of it.
No, I didn't want to fork out $190.
You know, now she's not on Cameo.
Really?
Yeah, it says notify me when Chase's account is available.
Well, I did DM her, so we can go back to the thread if I want to prank you in the future.
I feel like you wouldn't have gotten a very good payoff either
because if I actually spoke to her,
I feel like I would be quite calm and professional about it.
You wouldn't get me freaking out being like,
oh my God, I can't believe I'm talking to her.
So even if you played me an impersonator,
I would have just been like, wow, okay, well, there you go.
No, I wouldn't have done that.
Yeah, I know.
You wouldn't have gotten a good reaction.
I don't want a good reaction.
It's your gift.
It's just for you to enjoy and remember that I spoke to Lady Gaga. Okay. It's what a person is. You don't have gotten a good reaction. I don't want a good reaction. It's your gift. It's just for you to enjoy and remember that I spoke to Lady Gaga.
Okay.
That's what a person is.
You don't do it for the reaction.
You do it for the love.
Yeah, okay.
I feel like I would possibly be more excited to speak to Katy Perry.
Is that weird?
Than Gaga?
Yeah, because I almost don't want to talk to Gaga in case it's not a good experience.
Like, I'd rather leave that a mystery.
Yeah.
What do they say? Don't meet your idols. Like, I'd rather leave that a mystery. Yeah. What did they say?
Don't meet your idols.
Yes.
I'd rather never speak to her.
Yeah.
That's like when Jen met Amelia Earhart.
Obviously, if the opportunity comes up, I'm not saying don't do it.
Yeah.
But yeah, I feel like I would be, yeah, I wouldn't know what to do.
Well, I had a lunch with Katy Perry when she was in Australia.
Me, Katy Perry, some record people.
And she cancelled because she was pregnant.
And then remember when she was here, COVID had just started.
Yeah, that was the same day she cancelled the sit down with Kyle that I was meant to
go to.
Yes.
Well, I had a lunch planned.
I was going to talk to her and we were going to have like 15.
It was going to be amazing.
She cancelled.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, not good.
Oh, gee, you were meant to go to that too.
Yes.
Oh, you poor thing.
How has this podcast turned into talking about things that we nearly did but didn't do?
I was going to get you this, but I didn't.
I was going to crank you this, but I didn't.
I'm just telling you that that's what I organised for your birthday.
But on the phone now...
What's going on?
This is Alicia.
She wants to wish you a happy birthday.
It's not even my birthday.
I know.
I'm just telling you because Hayden was mad that we did nothing for your birthday.
We celebrated off a cloud, of course.
But on the podcast, there was not even a peep.
I did recall you saying that we were going to do something
the first podcast back.
Yeah.
And then when we didn't, I was like, okay, that's all right.
Here I am giving him a housewarming gift
that we're not going to acknowledge my birthday.
That's all right.
There was a small part of me that thought he fucking forgot
because he did say we were going to do some sort of birthday thing
when we came back.
That was the Gaga thing.
And then I was one told, no, don't do the prank.
And I said, please do it.
Yeah, Jenna was really pushing for the Gaga prank.
And I didn't think it sat right, especially after the psychiatric fruit break.
So I thought, let's not do it.
A prank on you when your mental health was fragile was not a good idea.
No.
So we didn't do it.
And I got you a mug and some coasters.
Cool story, Jenna. It's a cute mug. Hold on one second. I got you a mug and some coasters. Yes.
Cool story, Jenna.
It's a cute mug.
Hold on one second.
I've just got to cancel the next guest.
You still there?
You there?
Hey, it's Dua Lipa.
Yeah, Dua, we have to cancel.
We have to end the show.
We need to go.
We need to go.
Sorry.
She's so mad.
You just tell.
She'd be grumpy too, don't you reckon?
I don't know.
She'd be.
I've met her.
And? I feel like she was grumpy after our don't you reckon? I don't know. She'd be. I've met her. And?
I feel like she was grumpy after our chat, the way it went.
I thought you said that she was grumpy before and then she came good.
You won her over.
Even after the chat, it was like, why the fuck did anyone think putting me with that fat
slob was a good idea?
Stop bullshitting.
You're going to upset her fans or you'll upset the label.
You'll upset someone.
Very true.
I should stop talking.
Back next week with Mitch, we'll have the audio of him talking to the Boug or you'll upset the label. You'll upset someone. Very true. I should stop talking. Back next week with Mitch.
We'll have the audio of him talking to the Bougainvillea High boys and girls.
And no, we won't.
You're in a weird mood today.
You are.
No, you're in a weird mood today.
I thought you said I'm in a weird mood today.
You are.
No, I thought you meant you as in I'm.
You, Mitchell Turi.
Yeah, but I thought you said I'm.
In a weird mood today.
Yeah, insinuating.
You're actually talking to yourself.
Very true.
Jenna, you were oddly quiet this episode.
I wasn't.
I think you were.
Okay.
That's all I'm saying.
It's not a critique.
We critique Jenna off the show.
We send her notes.
Well, Mitch sends an email and I reply and go,
I agree, concur, Jenna did this wrong.
Every week, don't we?
You're just making shit up.
Back next week.
Yeah, we will be.
There you go.
See?
That's all I wanted.
All right.
We'll see you for episode 44.
Can you believe it?
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
This is 43, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
You're right.
44.
That's where we're at.

What's a thought?
A thought is that hoe over there.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, I've never heard that.
It's endearing.
So, like, you can be like, oh, I'm feeling like a thought.
It's a nicer way of saying slut.
A slut has such a...
I don't think I have any thought photos.
Oh, I'm sure you would.
No, I don't believe I do.
Even on Tinder?
Barely.
Really?
They're not that thoughty, I wouldn't have thought.
No.
True.
Certainly never fucking sent a nude or anything like that.
You've never sent a nude?
Oh, I should save that for another show.
Yeah, you've never sent one.
Because that's me.
Or never even taken one.
Really?
I've never taken one either.
I'd need a fucking fisheye lens.
