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.
Hooroo!
Mangana-woo!
What?
Oh, you've gone Simlish for the opener.
Roshubi!
Brendor!
That's going to be really weird for anyone who's not familiar with The Sims.
Yeah, it's very foreign.
Sorry about that.
And I actually wanted to say hi to Jenna, but I forgot what I said in the opener, and
I didn't want to just make another one up.
Rengar Panubi, is that it?
Gerard Palubi, I believe.
Gerard Palubi.
Something that began with J.
I remember that much.
Anyway, hi, Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Third wheel.
Hello.
Just here every week.
Welcome back.
It feels like we haven't been doing shows for a while.
I don't know why.
No, we've been doing it weekly.
Okay.
I don't know why.
Just feeling occurrence as usual.
I feel a bit rusty.
I'm Mitch. This is Mitch. That's Jenna, just in I just feel... Same occurrence as usual. I feel a bit rusty. I'm Mitch.
This is Mitch.
That's Jenna.
Just in case people feel the same way as me.
They're a bit confused.
I have a present for you.
Mitchell?
Yeah.
So you were mentioned just before, but what's the occasion?
Why have you got me a gift?
Friendship.
Okay.
Friendship?
I don't know why, but I just immediately get sucked.
I'm like, what is this going to be?
No.
Two male friends can get each other a gift.
Doesn't mean they're fucking, you know?
Everyone always thinks.
Must be.
Jenna, as soon as I said I got your present, Jenna went, I better fucking.
But you didn't hear it.
Everyone thinks it.
And no, we're not.
For those who, everyone's thinking it.
We're not.
Are you going to be in one of those moods where you just make shit up today?
It's a really bad mood today.
Should we check the traffic?
Just a joke. just a joke just a joke um i'm gonna give you a gift and all will be smoothed over okay because i think this is better than your birthday what did i get him again the weighted blanket yeah
i love that weighted anxiety you still use it we facetimed and he was in the blanket i'm like shit
yeah but this person he went quiet for 10 seconds i'm like get it off him someone i thought he'd
done all right so i can hear bottles clinking.
It's good.
Close your eyes.
Put your hands out, both, because it's quite heavy.
Out further.
Like the body of Christ keep you from eternal life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, three, two, one.
I had to drive right across Sydney to get this for you,
but because I love you.
I'm scared.
What is it?
Happy Friend Day.
Oh, my God.
It's the Kylie Rose.
The Kylie Minogue Rose.
I thought this wasn't in Sydney yet.
It's not, but I got it.
I signed up to the mailing list so that I'd be notified when it was near me.
Where did you get it?
I made one simple call to make it happen.
Contact close with Kylie.
You're making shit up again, aren't you?
She joins me now.
Didn't even know.
No, I drove to my local Bottle-O
to get a bottle of red
for myself and Hayden.
You're kidding
and they just had it?
No, Hayden went into gay panic.
His wrist went up
and he went,
it's Kylie Rose!
But I've just been checking
my emails daily going,
the Kylie Minogue Rose,
when's it going to happen?
Like I said,
I signed up for alerts.
How did you just find it?
Well, I didn't give a shit
to be honest
and Hayden bought six.
He bought a half case and I was like, oh, I know you've been crapping on about it so I bought you one.. How did you just find it? Well, I didn't give a shit, to be honest. And Hayden bought six. He bought a half case.
And I was like, oh, I know you've been crapping on about it.
So I bought you one.
Oh, thank you very much.
I also have glasses.
So I am benefiting.
Let's have one.
Wouldn't have killed you to pop it in the fridge.
Oh, yeah.
It's room temperature.
I left it in the...
Also, that flute that you're about to hand me is smashed.
Is it?
No, it's water droplets.
It's water droplets, darling.
It's all good.
Take one.
There you go.
God, the last couple of vets, we've been getting smashed.
Yeah, this is becoming an issue.
It is a Friday night too.
We have no work tomorrow.
It is a Friday night.
I have cleaned the glasses too, so don't worry.
Wonderful.
So speaking of gifts, I was actually thinking the other day,
Jenna.
We should get gifts.
Back in episode 13, Mitch gave you a fish.
Is it still alive?
Because everyone keeps saying, oh, is it alive?
But I feel like enough time has passed that it would actually be weirder
if it was still alive.
Like fishes don't have the longest lifespan.
Yes, they do.
Sylvia does.
Really?
She's alive?
Yeah, I thought she was going to die.
There was a period where you thought.
Yes.
Remember, I think I mentioned that she was floating on the bottom
and it was sad.
Oh, so I'm sharing the rose, am I?
I love a glass.
He just holds out a glass in my direction.
It wasn't cheap.
The royalties for fucking dancing must have dried up because it's not cheap per bottle.
So I went to Pet Barn to ask them for advice and I put the water in and gave them.
You know how they test the water and stuff?
It's a great story.
What did you ask?
If the fish is alive or not.
Okay, but we're testing the water at Pet Barn.
Yes.
So I thought she was dying, but then she recovered.
Recovered.
She looks very sickly.
Yeah.
But she's hanging on.
I think that's the vibe.
That's just 2020.
Literally, yeah.
She's just feeling the vibe.
But we want a photo.
At least post it to the secret Facebook group.
Of course.
Thank you.
Should we do a little cheers?
Yes.
To friendship?
Absolutely nothing.
Exactly right.
Just to be able to get that.
There you go.
All right.
Well, nice to know that Sylvie is still kicking.
What have we got on the show today?
It really is a big show.
We have another mispronunciation.
Oh, yes.
We've discovered a new one.
This is like our favourite thing to do.
Oh, we just get such a kick out of it.
And now I can't watch content in any way, shape or form, radio, TV, podcast, streaming
without wanting someone to mess up. Yeah, TV, podcast, streaming, without wanting someone
to mess up.
Yeah, same.
I'm like constantly scanning for someone to mispronounce something.
And I found one.
So we'll get to that later on.
You've also got a teacher coming on.
I've got a teacher coming on because I just thought that I was scrolling through some
of the comments and we've had people comment on our videos that Mitch Coombs, our beloved,
his famed Bogengate video is being taught as part of the core rubric in some schools in Australia.
And ever since you pointed this out, it's just been happening more and more.
Every time I go live on TikTok, they're like, I watched you in class.
And I'm like, how?
Yeah.
This just keeps happening.
Yeah.
People keep being shown my bloody YouTube video in class.
Is it because 2020 teachers are just lazy with homeschooling?
Here's a fucking YouTube video.
Teach yourself.
Yeah, but I also want to know what's...
I hope it's for comedy.
I hope it's not for ancient history.
These are famous bitches.
Cleopatra, Margaret Thatcher, this boy from Bougainvillea.
Well, anyway, we'll find out later on.
We've got a teacher coming on.
You said you're going to get her to do a role play.
Yes.
We're going to be the students.
She'll teach it to us like she does her students.
We'll be pupils for a little bit,
and she will teach us exactly how she teaches the
kids, so that'll be fun.
Great.
Of course, we start the show the same way every week with an Is It Just Me?
We call them IJMs, dive in at something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's.
Jenna has no idea what's happening.
Ever.
But I'm going to go first.
I'm just feeling like I'm going to have a sip of the Kylie Rose.
I haven't tasted it yet.
Then I'll dive in.
Very nice.
Is it good?
Is it a taste test?
Yeah, actually, we should.
Okay, the room temperature's off-putting, firstly.
Oh.
Oh.
Did you hear that?
Mmm.
It's got a bit of a kick to it, doesn't it?
I like it.
Yeah, I like it.
It does feel like it would give me a shocking headache the next day.
Like, Rosé headaches, like, they hit different.
I've got the feeling that this wine brand won't,
quite like her, many relationships last.
Hey, how dare you.
Is it just me or... A barbecue chicken's shit.
Yes.
I've never gotten the fuss with that.
There's nothing about them that I enjoy other than the skin,
which is always the part that I get snatched out of my hand.
Mum always goes, don't touch the skin.
That'll go straight to your heart.
You'll have cardiac arrest.
And it's all I want.
Really?
The skin is where she's going to draw the line.
Yes.
Well, there's other things she's clearly not looking.
Not all the other garbage you eat.
No, no.
But there's nothing enjoyable about a dry,
bloody hormone-ridden barbecue chook.
They're so dry.
So dry.
And I never understand why that's people's go-to.
Like, mum will be like, oh, let's just, you know,
feeling lazy, let's just get a barbecue chook
and some bread rolls.
And I'm like, bleh.
My mum always says that.
Whenever for dinner, oh, I'll just go and get a,
go down Woolies and get a chicken.
I'll just go to Officeworks and get a sheet of cardboard
and just chuck it on some mayo on a white roll.
It tastes better.
Nothing worse.
And my mum would always go, I want the breast meat.
I'm like, well, take it because that is so dry.
It just sits there.
The two little breasts that, by the way,
are not meant to be that size.
I mean, we pumped our chickens with.
Do you reckon?
Oh, my God.
The amount of hormones we put into our meat is horrendous.
Remember before KFC, there was like,
people really knew what healthy, good food and nutrition was it was like 15 20 years ago um kfc were pumping
like illegal shit into their chicken and then people cottoned on and they're like oh now now
they're advertising is like popcorn chicken get 10 with a zinger burger and there's no hormones
oh right so that's why they make a point of that yeah because little girls were getting
breasts at three years old. It's true.
It's true.
It's true.
Jenna was part of the-
I was one of them.
Yeah.
She also had a-
In 1973.
Yes, Jenna was.
Jenna was a formaldehyde girl.
Anywho, I fucking hate it.
I reckon I've almost choked on a barbecue chuck at least twice.
Well, I feel like it might have been episode six of this podcast
when we did DIY rooster rolls.
We were trying to replicate our own red rooster.
Yes.
Was it barbecue chicken that you got for that?
Yeah, I got barbecue chicken.
And hot dog rolls, right?
Yeah, really buttery, like cheap, shitty hot dog rolls.
And, like, we literally choked.
Yeah, yeah, we could not swallow it.
It was so dry, but my mum still swears by that.
She really pushes her agenda.
Every time I'm on the phone to her, she's like,
what are you doing for dinner?
I'm like, I haven't made up my mind.
She goes, oh, we'll just do something easy.
You can just get a barbecue chicken.
That'll last you a few days.
And I'm like, no!
Yep, my dad will go, oh, love, get some coleslaw too.
Coleslaw is disgusting.
Oh, yeah, give me some wet mayo lettuce.
Lovely.
Nah, did they ever do just the entire slab of beetroot thing?
Oh, my God.
And, oh, my God.
Maybe it's the Kylie.
Make sure you swish the flies away.
No, you don't have the little round half moon net that would sit on it.
Did you ever have one of them?
Yeah, we had that.
I remember vividly one Christmas, my Uncle Adrian, God rest his soul,
he's still alive, but he's Christian, and we were all drinking cans,
and literally he
looked at me and went oh yeah i went yeah you went look at my drink oh yeah he went there's a fly in
here oh and i went oh no and he went and you know what and he drunk it and he went my immune system
will squash it and i went oh okay you would never be afraid of these things never be afraid of flies
yeah then he had a mental break for a while.
I don't know if I would say afraid is the right word.
Like, no one's afraid of flies.
They're just fucking annoying.
Yeah.
No, but I think it was more like, don't be afraid of this body and you can eat a fly.
Don't be a little pussyfoot.
I think is what he was trying to say.
Because I think I was a bit sort of drama kid.
But again, like, no one's going to go out of their way to eat a fly.
Like, if it happens, you're just like, oh, well.
Like, no one thinks they're going to die.
True.
There was no message in that. Yeah, that's really dumb. I think he saw the opportunity and, for lack eat a fly. Like, if it happens, you're just like, oh, well. Like, no one thinks they're going to die. True. There was no message in that.
Yeah, that's really dumb.
I think he saw the opportunity and, for lack of a better word,
flew with it.
Barbecue chicken's the worst.
Any other, like, easy meals that you hate?
Like, there's one that I love.
It's controversial.
Obsessed with Devon.
I love a good Devon.
I do love a bit of Devon, but I would never buy it myself.
Like, if it's there, I'm like, sure, why not?
True.
Or cocktail, little cocktail weenies, little boys.
Little boys.
I like them.
I like them and I will eat them.
But I don't go out of my way to buy them.
Exactly.
But if they're there, I will eat them.
But barbecue chicken, I will actively avoid.
You know when you're chewing it and you go, oh, yeah,
there's not enough moisture left to swallow it.
And it sort of gets halfway down your throat and you go, oh, my God,
I'm going to die.
And then your chest really hurts.
It's like it's stuck in your chest.
All the time.
It's like clag glue.
I don't understand it at all.
No, neither do I.
How do you feel about the stuffing?
Oh, my God.
I'll put that in a buddy.
Yeah.
On bread and eat it every day, all day.
It slaps, but still dry.
Like, I don't understand why you put everything on bread.
Totally.
100%.
Anyway, I've got to get that off my chest.
Thanks for listening, for coming to my TED Talk.
Are you ready for yours, Mitch?
Yes, I am.
Let's do it, Bradley.
Is it just me or?
Do Channel 9 news need to calm down?
Yes.
I mean, yes.
Yeah, all news does, really, especially at the moment.
Well, I feel like all news maybe,
but I'm really starting to notice Channel 9 is a repeat offender.
Right, yeah.
So do you remember last week,
all the controversy with New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian?
Oh, my God, yeah.
All she wanted to do was have a nice little sex
and someone was filming and recording her and the poor thing.
No, there was no filming or recording.
We don't know what was exactly happening.
But she had a dodgy boyfriend, apparently.
We've all been there.
It's all secretive.
Anyway, I was trying to get myself up to speed with the topic.
So Daily Telegraph says the leader of the New South Wales opposition.
Oh, sorry, because this was the next day, right?
Because obviously after all this controversy happened,
the opposition leader saw that opportunity
to be like, I'm going to give Gladys a hard time.
Yeah.
And she needs to get the hard time.
She needs to be drilled a bit, right?
Sure.
I mean, it was bound to happen.
Parliament can be a bit like that.
So Daily Telegraph says pretty much what happened.
There's no over-dramatising it.
It just says, the leader of the New South Wales opposition has called Premier Gladys Berejiklian a fraud
who should resign from her post.
She said Ms Berejiklian's testimony
in front of the Independent Commission Against Corruption
had done irreparable damage to her credibility.
Right?
That's fair.
Yeah, pretty factual.
Yeah.
This is what Channel 9 said.
If you listen to their description,
if you had no idea about this story
and you tuned in, this was their lead story,
you'd think something horrible had gone down.
Listen to how they described this showdown in Parliament.
Good afternoon.
It was explosive and fiery and this afternoon New South Wales Parliament
resembled a battleground as the opposition lobbed grenades
at Gladys Berejiklian, demanding answers over her secret affair
with disgraced MP Daryl Maguire.
I'm picturing...
I'll state the place of order.
Liz Daniels, join us live.
I'm picturing, like, Grenade.
I'm picturing Dunkirk, that Harry Styles war film.
Wow.
That's not what happened.
Why did you say Grenade?
I get it.
That was a metaphor.
But, like, very unnecessary.
You don't need to go that extreme.
And I have ranted about this before on the podcast.
It was back in episode 22, I believe.
Good memory.
Okay.
I found a little grab of what I said.
So that newsreader, by the way, that we just heard was Davina Smith.
Now listen back to the last time I ranted about Channel 9.
Okay.
Channel 9 being the worst offender.
The other day I saw someone say,
the retail sector in the country can only be described as a bloodbath.
I was like, really?
I'm sure you could have thought of some other adjectives there.
No, it could only be described as that.
And then he threw back to the bloody biddy at the desk and she's like, wow, Charles,
life as we know it doesn't look like it's getting any better.
Thank you.
That's a thought, Davina.
Keep that to yourself.
Davina, at it again.
Does she write her own scripts is what I'm wondering.
Oh, interesting.
Perhaps she's a little melodramatic.
Yeah, maybe.
Peter Overton is another repeat offender.
Does he use that language too?
Oh, definitely.
But to imply that there were grenades hurled in Parliament.
Yeah.
No.
That's fake news.
It's just, it's way too dramatic for my liking.
I just, I'm thinking, what was Davina's diary like as a teenager for starters?
Like, she just seems like she would take one thing.
Yeah.
And then she retells the story, makes it a million times more dramatic than it actually was.
Okay, so for example, the cafeteria were out of pizza pockets.
She comes home and she sits down on her bedspread.
How was your day, sweetie?
My daily nutrients.
Smashed!
The food that keeps my blood pumping.
Stolen!
Thieved from my mouth!
Okay, what's something really innocent?
Yeah.
I don't want to target Davina, but she's the only person I've seen do it.
No, but I'll tell you what's funny, right?
Davina's husband is in the army.
Really?
Yes.
God, so he would know about her.
Oh, no, she'd come home and be like, hey, babe, how was your day?
She'd be like, bloodbath, disaster, famine, tsunami.
How about you, babe?
Imagine she just gets a text from him Babe I just watched you on the news
And if you think Gladys and Jodes
Having an argument in parliament
Resembles a battleground
I've got news for you Chuck
Nothing like it whatsoever
How would Davina
Tell the story of like
Santa
Delivering presents to children on Christmas Eve.
Oh, God.
Obese elderly man breaks and enters.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unwanted visitor at the clock of twelve.
Trek passes the family home.
Dole bludging granddad.
Cutting the crimsafe at the strike of twelve.
I don't know why I'm making it Elizabethan.
What about, like, what's something really innocent?
Easter bunny.
Deformed, radioactive rabbit, giant, festering animal,
carrying chocolate eggs.
What about like, I'm just trying to think of a really humble,
innocent story.
What about just like, why did the chicken cross the road
to get to the other side?
She would question his motives for sure.
What does the chicken have to hide?
Yeah, very true.
Why was the chicken crossing in the first place?
The question that needs to be answered.
Rogue feathered animal jaywalked illegally.
Stopping oncoming traffic and posing a health hazard to the community.
Narrowly missing.
Innocent bystanders.
Innocent children.
In broad daylight.
More in the news in 10, Davina.
Fucking stupid.
What else?
What's really innocent?
I can't think of anything innocent.
My mind's going all sorts of places.
Yeah, we're going bad.
What about Clifford the Big Red Dog?
Oh, yes.
I reckon she'd have something to say about the hormone injections
that you've mentioned already today.
Yes, she would.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The KFC hormone disaster trickles into your favourite childhood dog.
Is this the example we want to set for our children?
Overweight, sunburnt canine making its way into our homes
and setting a poor example.
The report that no parent can afford to miss.
What about Blue's Clues?
I don't know what that is.
Blue's Clues, the little crime-fighting dog.
Poor Patrol.
Kids think they're helping find missing items in the dog's blue home
when in reality is the dog, in fact, the Zodiac Killer?
Now, Davina, I think you're the only one making that correlation.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts,
the one that you get on the iPhone, it usually just comes with it.
It's free.
Unless you've deleted it.
Yeah.
Make sure you go and leave us a review.
There's a difference between a rating and a review, by the way.
You don't just pop five stars.
Write something nice if you can think of something.
Yeah, and we'll give you a shout-out, for God's sake.
Like, Breezy Babe!
She says, favourite podcast.
She also says, have been listening to this pod since episode one
and still get excited when they release a new episode.
Couldn't recommend it more, but please stop playing the nails on a chalkboard audio.
Oh, we haven't played that in a while.
Okay.
Well, I guess we won't again in a while.
Interesting.
Maybe it's talking about, um, maybe talking about Jenna's voice.
Ouch.
Um, it's a joke, Jenna.
That came across as very mean.
That wasn't actually nice.
Apparently that sound effect made her swerve into oncoming traffic the other day.
So yeah, let's not play that again.
Dear God.
The last thing we need is a lawsuit.
What about Brayden?
Brayden says, my second favourite gay experience.
What was your first?
I don't even use the Apple podcast app.
I use Spotify.
This podcast gives me so much joy that it's the one thing I actually look forward to during the week.
Shocking.
That's lovely.
Ten out of ten recommend.
Blake James says, best thing since two girls won't cut.
Blake.
Oh, no.
I haven't seen that.
Have you seen that, Mitch?
Oh, yeah.
We showed it to Jenna.
Yeah, we made Jenna watch it.
I feel sick thinking about it.
I can't believe we did that.
We've put you through some real shit, Jenna.
Yes, I know.
What's better than one, Mitch?
Two.
Get you a man who can do both.
And Jenna, best part of my day while I'm wanting to neck myself at work.
Keep up the awesome work and bring X-rated talk in, please.
Oh, really?
Why do people want to hear about our sexy time?
Yeah, there's not much to say at this point, to be quite honest.
For God's sake, Mitch, this would be a one-second podcast episode, to be honest.
Excuse me.
This would be it.
Hey.
What are you saying?
Nothing. But if I are you saying? Nothing.
But you've had to talk about mine.
Okay, please elaborate.
What makes you think that this is the perfect soundtrack?
It's not the perfect soundtrack.
I'm just saying, if you wanted me to talk about it, I could.
There's action.
There's a lot.
Obviously, you're in a relationship.
There's actually not a lot.
It's a very average amount
I work till midnight, so for God's sake
We can only ever do it in the daytime
The poor bastard has to see everything
How often?
As many times as we can
How often's that?
Well, physically I can do it twice
I meant in a week
Oh, not just twice in my lifetime
I'm not like a bee
I don't sting you with my tail and die.
We'll both love it, but then I'll die in your arms
as my penis gets pulled out of its socket.
Make sure you harvest the honey.
Do it twice.
He was a passionate lover.
He leaves behind.
Anyway.
A couple times, to be honest.
Maybe two, three.
On a good week, on a bad week, one.
But if it's not like, you know, it's just whatever else.
Bit of fun, you know, just like hand stuff.
This review's interesting.
They haven't left their name, but it says...
Oh, yeah.
Just powered through 40 episodes after coming across you on TikTok.
Mine, clearly.
A couple of inches is where you can find us, PS.
Yeah.
Helps the working day as a truck mechanic.
Oh, cool.
Go a lot faster laughing at slash with you fellas and Jenna.
Cheers for the good content.
Well, thank you, No Name.
Oh, that's nice.
Wow, that's interesting.
A truck mechanic, eh?
Yeah.
I wonder if we're blasting through the whole workshop.
Yeah.
Wait, I thought truck mechanic.
That's some hard stuff.
One of my cousins is a diesel mechanic on trucks.
It's a tough job.
Always comes home dirty.
No, yeah, obviously.
It comes at the job.
Lots of grease and shit.
Yeah, very true.
Thanks for listening.
What was their name?
They didn't give us a name.
I have no idea.
That's very sweet.
Our reviews, we've capped it.
We're at 213 now.
If you guys leave us a review, not just five stars, write something.
We'll shout you out on the show because it also gets us
up there and more listeners and more listeners
means we can do more stuff and it's better for you
in the long run. You're doing us a favour. Couldn't agree more.
Go ahead and leave us a review if you don't hardly mind.
Now, if there's one thing
that we love on this show, it's taking
the piss out of a mispronunciation
that we've heard. There's been a few now.
You couldn't say blinds properly. You add
an extra syllable. I still can't say blinds properly. You add an extra syllable.
I still can't say blinds correctly.
Say it again.
Blinds.
And then what did I say wrong?
I said extremely.
Extremely.
Extremely. Then Georgia Gardner, our beloved journalist from Channel 9, said...
Unknown.
Unknown.
She added an extra syllable to unknown.
Well, we have another mispronunciation today.
I'm very excited about this.
It's not an extra syllable, but it is a mispronunciation in my eyes.
And the best part is that it's come from one of our own.
Someone from inside the team.
Oh, really?
Jenna.
Producer Jenna.
Groundskeeper Jenna.
Groundskeeper Jenna, sorry.
Yeah.
A mispronunciation on your end.
And you, to be honest, Dame Helen Mirren, your pronunciation coach,
would be rolling in her fresh grave.
She's still alive.
Who?
No, Dame Judy.
Who's the one that taught you how to stand up with a book on your head?
That's June Daly Watkins.
June Daly Watkins.
May she rest in eternal peace.
She'd be livid because we've discovered a mispronunciation
that you didn't even pick up on.
You just rolled straight through.
I didn't pick up on it at the time, but I listened back
after we posted the episode and I was like, what the hell did she just say mitch called
me he went can you just make sure that this is correct because she's not that daft it was when
we were listening to other podcasts and we had to describe what we thought the male hosts look like
so here it is i picked out one of them to have like long hair and kind of big and yeah and the other one to be bold bold bold not bald
bold bold and she said it not once but twice and then jenna the other one the deep voice at the
very end i think he's a bold guy yes a what now bold jenna what the fuck are you thinking yeah i
know he's so bold bold when someone has no hair they are bald i can't say bald bald jesus christ jenna so say for example there's a man who works at the office we all know
him he works on he's our it guy name one descriptive thing about his face or his head
he's bald it's not bold that's horrendous it's like saying, I played bowling on the weekend and I... Bowl. A strike.
Can I tell you, it was a very special day when my niece was a few months old.
I was there to witness the first time she crawled.
I can't say bowl.
Really?
Oh, Jenna.
We were talking a couple of weeks ago about your property that you have up in Burgengate.
You were describing it, just how it sprawled.
The country.
Maybe I'm digressing.
I'm so sorry to go over the facts. But it was sprawling.
It was really just sprawled.
The whole property was huge.
God.
Yeah.
Tell you what, one of mine and Jenna's favourite TV show is McLeod's Daughters.
And I'll never forget the day Claire McLeod died.
I bowled my eyes out.
And as you should, rightly so.
Rightly so.
Yeah.
That was a very sad moment.
I'm sure it was.
It was.
Anyway, why didn't you answer when I called?
Yeah, why not, Jenna?
Why don't you shut up?
Anyway.
Jenna, because your mum got rid of that savage dog, right?
No.
She didn't get rid of the savage dog?
Because you've got Tiger and what happened to Jax?
She got rid of Jax because I don't know if you heard,
but he mauled her cousin.
He mauled her.
I had to get her put down.
Yeah.
That's no good.
Yeah.
What is the name of that guy?
Oh, he's in the Beatles.
Last name McCartney.
Oh, yeah.
His first name was Pole.
Yes, that's him.
Pole McCartney. I had a lot of his merch growing Paul. Yes, that's him. Paul McCartney.
I had a lot of his merch growing up,
and I had to give it back because it all got recalled.
Taken away.
They're like, it's a choking hazard.
I'm like, no, take it, take it, take it.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hello?
Oh, no.
Yeah.
I'll be home in about an hour.
You can do it then.
Okay, bye.
Sorry, it's just Samsung.
I'm getting a new washing machine installed.
I told them not to call me. I wonder where washing machine installed. I told them not to call me.
I wonder where that was going.
I told them not to call me.
Sorry, I rudely interrupted, but I had to take it.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.
That was uncalled for.
It wasn't right.
Sorry, Jenna.
We should be making fun of you.
Bold.
Remember when you were away on the podcast?
Mm-hmm.
And Abby Chatfield filled in.
Yes, loved her.
She was very funny.
And there were so many f-bombs
our listeners complained they were absolutely appalled they were yeah with the adult language
they were shocked with their sexual liberty and everything god i can't even tell you i was so
humiliated the other day i held up traffic i was in the middle of a busy freeway yeah yeah yeah
driving a manual and i released the clutch too quickly and the engine stopped. Oh, that could be dangerous.
I know.
Bold.
Okay, no, can I just test something?
Okay, so when somebody is, you know, a bold person,
as in like bold personality, right?
And then a bold head.
Yeah, you can have a bold personality and type with a bold italic font,
but you have a bald head.
They felt differently.
I know that, but they're pronounced similar.
No, they're not.
For me, they are.
Bald.
Bald.
And bold.
See, this is like bowl, like you have a bowl of cereal
and you roll the ball.
It's like the difference between I'm in it for the long haul
and I'm in it for the long haul.
Yes, I know.
But, you know, during the bubonic plague, it was just difficult.
Trying to do jokes now.
The pronunciation.
Oh, right.
It's not a joke.
During the bubonic plague.
No.
What?
What are you doing?
That's what you said.
Closing the show.
Oh, my God, we have another segment.
Yeah.
This fucking rosé.
Have you forgotten about that teach we were getting on? Yeah, I completely forgot. She'd been messaging me all day, we have another segment. Yeah. This fucking Rose. Have you forgotten about that teacher
we were getting on?
Yeah, I completely
forgot.
She'd been messaging
me all day too.
That was your idea.
I know, I've
completely organised
the whole thing.
She's got a
teacher shit.
Sorry.
Here I am, so
cold, co-host.
So cold.
Did you get that?
Yeah.
It took me a while.
Thank you.
Very funny.
Alright, well there
we go.
Mispronunciation on
the iron team.
I just thought of another one.
Yeah, go.
Hi, welcome to Ford's McDonald's.
What can I get for you?
Frozen Coke.
Would you like a large or a small?
Smouldering.
Is there a no in that?
I think smouldering is how you say it.
Has a no in it.
Oh.
Well, I tried.
Anyway.
I think we've maxed out.
No, I've got a musical one. Anyway. I think we've maxed out. No, I've got a musical one.
Okay.
Now the day bleeds into nightfall.
I need to stop.
I need to give up.
Okay.
Let's get the teacher out.
Sorry, Jenna.
Is it just me?
Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app.
Or follow on Spotify.
All right, if you're not on TikTok, you should be,
because we're on there, right?
Yes, of course we are, at Couple of Mitches.
Yeah, we're on TikTok, we're doing well,
almost at like 13K subscribers.
We're over 13K.
Over 13K subscribers.
No, sorry.
Nice to know you're keeping an eye on things.
I know, very part of the team.
But there is something that's happening on TikTok,
or certain comments that I should say that I've noticed
that are bleeding through to Instagram, some on Facebook.
For those of you who don't know, our beloved Mitchell Coombs right here
is maybe not most well-known,
but this is sort of the inciting incident that started your career.
Is this right?
The Bougainvillea Gate video.
The Bougainvillea Gate video.
I just wanted to hear it from your own lips. Yeah. The Bougainvillea Gate video The Bougainvillea video? I just wanted to hear it from your own lips.
Yeah.
The Bougainvillea video.
If you haven't heard it, I mean, it's a little taste.
Hey, it's Mitchell coming to you from my hometown of Bougainvillea.
Whenever I tell people that I live in Bougainvillea,
I usually get asked questions like...
It's the first video I ever made when I was 18 years old.
First time I'd ever made a video of just myself.
First time I'd ever posted a video to youtube and it went viral which
was a terrifying experience but all these years later um it's funny people aren't actually
connecting the dots because i reposted it to my tiktok the other day because someone wrote in
saying we were shown your bogan gate video in class yeah and all these people in the comments
were like oh my god i did not realize that was you so people are now putting two and two together
it's had a resurgence.
And that's the thing that I'm baffled at, Jenna.
They're teaching children with soft, supple minds this video about Mitchell.
They're showing the video.
Poor, poor children.
I started the JFK assassination, the Buddy Hindenburg blowing up,
the Holocaust, and kids these days are being taught about you on the farm.
I know it's weird.
I still don't quite understand why,
but I've had a lot of people say it to me over the years.
Oh, we were showing your video in class.
And then when I reposted it the other day,
so many comments from students saying that they were taught it too.
And I'm like, it must be in the fucking curriculum.
The poor things.
What would the exam for that be like?
No idea.
How long was the boy's hair?
I don't even know the relevance to English or whatever it's being taught in.
Well, that's exactly the reason.
We have Mrs Hennessy joining us on the line.
Hi, Mrs Hennessy.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Hi.
Welcome to the show, Miss.
We're protecting your name.
The students can't identify you.
And if we often get distracted, just do the clap to wrangle us all in.
Hands on head.
Yes, please.
But you are a real life teacher.
You commented on my TikTok saying that you teach students my video
or you show it to them.
I've removed that comment so that people can't stalk you.
We're keeping her incognito today.
Mrs. Hennessy is not the name.
Oh, my God.
But you're a real teacher and this is a real thing that happened, right?
I am and it is.
Yeah, absolutely.
And just as a side, we do still teach the Holocaust.
That's very important.
So how do you, one, teach the students about Mitchell Coombs
and his Bougainvillea video?
Is it for like a video course?
Is it for, I don't know, same-sex marriage studies?
Who knows?
Well, look, there's a couple of ways that I have used the Bougainvillea
in my classroom to teach satire and that idea of authorial tone
and taking the mick, if you like, without necessarily being overtly rude.
Not something I'm known for, Mitch, of course. Yeah, I was going to say, that's probably the only video of mine where I haven't been overtly rude. Right, okay. Not something I'm known for, Mitch, of course.
Yeah, I was going to say that's probably the only video of mine
where I haven't been overtly rude.
So I don't expect any others will be on the smart board anytime soon.
Yeah, don't link them to his Instagram page.
They'll be shocked.
Wow.
No, and I think kids really get a kick of it,
especially I'm from a small town and I'm teaching in a small town.
And so our kids really identify with that tone and those comments.
And we often ask them to sell things that they wouldn't necessarily sell.
And I think that you have done an excellent job in that video of doing that.
So it's a good example.
Feels like a parent-teacher interview.
Yeah, I know.
He's excelled.
How's my boy doing?
I'm writing you a report.
So how does it work?
Is it just you as a teacher, you made the decision,
I'm going to show my class this video?
Because I feel like it somehow ended up on, like, I don't know,
the curriculum or the rubric or some shit where it's just happening
so often now that I'm like, this is not just, like,
a one-off teacher who did it because they thought it was a good idea. It's happening so often now. I'm like, this is not just like a one-off teacher who did it
because they thought it was a good idea.
It's happening so often now.
The Board of Studies know about it.
I mean, look, things like this get around teaching communities
and it's been a bit of time now.
Teachers share those things and certainly they get passed
around teaching communities.
Right.
So it's not exactly a prescribed text for the HSC at the end of the year.
No, not yet, though.
But we could start a movement.
So obviously you've got a TikTok account because you commented on my video.
Do your students know that you have TikTok?
Yeah, they do.
Yeah.
Are they allowed to follow you?
No, so they're not.
Oh, I mean, look, TikTok's a little bit of one of those grey areas, I guess.
Yeah.
And it would depend on the content.
We've got a couple of teachers who are posting content
for their students on TikTok.
So in that case, it's a little bit different.
Really?
What sort of stuff are they posting?
Oh, just like, you know, your classic dance TikToks
to build, you know, relationships with their students.
Yeah.
So kids will set a challenge and the teacher will rise to it.
Some are doing, like, little mini science experiments
and that type of thing.
I don't actually use my TikToks for anything other than watching
other people do macrame.
Yeah, right.
And save plants.
A mood, very relatable, right?
Yeah.
I guess it's not really kosher for a teacher to be, you know,
having a personal TikTok account for a kid to follow.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was going to say,
I just feel like it's kind of relaxed in that regard
because at my school it was very much a case of,
all right, now that you've finished year 12,
you're allowed to add the teachers on Facebook.
But so long as you're there as a student,
there's just no communication on social media at all.
But then I see these bloody TikTok famous teachers
that, like you said, they're doing dances and shit.
And I'm like, I don't understand.
Is it allowed now?
You're allowed to follow your teachers on TikTok?
Look, I mean, things like, I mean, certainly no to Facebook,
certainly no to Snapchat, certainly no to Insta and those things.
But things like TikTok and YouTube
where it can be
educational content,
it's not necessarily about kids following
them, but maybe the teachers making the video
and then sharing it with the class from their platform
if that makes sense. Yeah, no one's
addressing homework on TikTok. Remember
due tomorrow morning, the wet-ass pussy
dance, and remember
the say-so dance is due by Thursday.
And, Sammy, you were terrible with the savage dance,
so make sure you're better than that.
Well, Miss Hennessy, we thank you so much for teaching the children
about our beautiful boy.
Any questions that pop up, like any weird question they've got,
like where is he now?
Is this Karl Stefanovic now?
Do people get confused about who this boy is?
What are the questions that they ask?
I think the question I get asked the most when I use it is,
is it real?
Yeah, I got that a lot too.
For my purposes, I always say that, you know,
I know it's a genuine video, like it's not staged.
Wow.
Whether that's true or not, I don't know.
Sorry, Mitch.
I remember at the time there was a news article and they wrote about it as though it was a parody.
They're like, oh, a viral parody has blown up.
Mitchell Coons who invented the town of Bougainvillea.
And they literally reported on it as though it was a parody.
And I had to reach out to them and be like, babe,
I'm not fucking with you.
It's a real place.
It's a simple Google as well.
It is bad.
It is that bad.
Yeah, well, you can say with full confidence,
you can't make that shit up, Madison, next time.
He's exactly right.
All right, well, Miss Hennessy, thank you for coming on.
I do have one more question for Al.
Sorry, Tano!
Oh, no.
She's gone.
She had it coming.
There you go.
Feel like you learnt things?
Well, I mean, yeah.
What happened to the role play?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, we didn't do it.
Yeah, I thought that was the idea.
That was technically the point.
I was waiting for you to get to it.
We got carried away.
The banter was too much.
We were going to get her on and we were going to be the students.
She was going to be the teacher.
Yeah, that was...
I was really excited for that.
That's what we went to do.
But how you get distracted.
You see, when you're doing this, you find something else that's gold and you just run with it.
That's what I did.
I mean, yeah, it was a lovely chat.
But I thought you were going to do like the full Mitch Cheery radio theatre with all the bloody sound effects.
I thought you'd have a school bell and, you know, students cheering and shit.
That would have been so much fun.
No, that's not really your flavour, is it?
You don't get custom sound effects to enhance what we're actually doing.
You just play random fucking ones you find.
Exactly right.
I would never do it.
That have nothing to do with anything.
Very true.
Anyway, we'll see you guys next week.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, sorry.
Don't.
Not in the mood today.
He's definitely not, is he?
What?
You just found out that you're being taught nationwide to children with supple, smooth
brains and you're upset.
I'm not upset.
I'd kill to be on someone's syllabus.
Really?
Yeah.
You just want clout in any place you can get it, don't you?
Yeah.
I want a multiple choice to be about me.
The great late radio announcer died of what type of heart arrhythmia?
A?
I don't know the types of heart arrhythmia.
Anyway, we're back next week.
It's going to be a great show.
What number?
What are we up to?
60, 50?
This is 44.
So it'll be 45 next week.
45!
It's a good age.
God, remember when we were 40?
We had our 40th.
I know.
Time flies when you're having fun.
It does.
I've got a talkback ting for you guys next week.
Brilliant.
I also have an update to play you on my fridge magnet journey.
You know, you challenged me to get a fridge magnet on the great quiz on ABC Radio in Sydney.
Oh, so you're also doing a talkback ting, really?
No, no, no.
Just an update.
I won't overshadow yours at all, but it's just a little,
I'm just touching base because I'm not doing well.
That's all I need to do, all I need to say.
You're really having to jump through hoops for a shitty prize, aren't you?
Yeah, I know.
The night I was listening, he's like, the prize is one,
I'll repeat, one fridge bag.
I didn't expect two, to be honest.
One more fridge bag than you're giving away on your show.
Very true.
I give people an A4 piece of paper.
It's the cheap shit too from Woolworths.
It's not even bloody the nice one.
Anyway, back next week.
See you guys.
Be safe.
Don't forget to catch us on Sunday Night Instagram Live, okay?
Yes, we'll see you then.
Bye, guys.
Is it just me?
Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app.
Or follow on Spotify.
Bold.
Bold.
Bold.
Bold. Bold. Sorry. Welcome to my...
Sorry.
I'm going to need more of that.
Can't leave it out of shit.
I can just tell.
You're like a cat when it has its feral hour.
What?
I can just tell when you're going to be in the mood to annoy me.
I'm on hate.
You know what they say about cats?
Yes.
They get on their period, don't they?
Sorry, I was just... What are you talking about? are you asking me if cats get their period yes the only way to settle this hey alexa do cats
get their period what do you mean settle this no one's arguing we need to settle this once and for
all hey alexa do cats get their period jenna here. According to an Alexa Answers contributor, yes,
they are capable of reproduction by four months old.
What's an Alexa Answers contributor?
According to an Alexa Answers contributor.
What is Alexa Answers?
Can people, like, contribute almost like Wikipedia?
Maybe.
Also, that's her fucking job.
It's like someone calling a firefighter and they come to the house down and they go,
oh, you'll have to call someone that's got a hose.
Isn't that your job?
And give them the hose.
Yeah, here you go.
This is what you need.
Yes, apparently, yes, they do, but no discharge.
Cats get on heat.
There you go.
I just Googled that.
Anyway.
I mean, she's got a cat.
Yeah, she came to sext.
Why is that funny? Nothing, nothing, nothing.
I just don't know how to talk to him when he's in this mood, Jenna. Can we chat? Yeah, please.
Great. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Okay. Well, I just better give some context for new listeners. This is AD Debrief, our secret segment. It's where we go a bit
feral at the end. There's nothing planned, nothing structured.
We go rogue.
It's just, yeah, talking aimlessly.
And the reason we keep it a secret is because it's not our best work.
You know how, like, a portfolio or, like, a resume,
you put your highlights?
This would not be on there.
No way.
This is terrible.
No, this is just for anyone who dares listen.
In fact, I suggest you don't.
Stop listening.
Sometimes the best stuff comes out of here, though.
No, it doesn't.
Not lately. I beg, though. No, it doesn't. Not lately.
I beg to differ.
Yeah, no, lately this has been sort of the laughingstock of the show.
No.
No.
Anyway, you two carry on with that riveting conversation.
That was hilarious.
Anyway.
Yep.
Jenna, how have you been?
Oh.
Just so you both know.
That's a stupid sound effect. Well, what goes for four minutes and six seconds so
keep talking turn it off turn it off i've looped it what it goes for four minutes it'll never end
and you've oh no turn it off okay i did that for the listener Anyway can we bridge this divide Mitch are you enjoying the Kylie
It's fine but
I don't know there's just nothing special about it
Like it does actually taste like the sort of rose that I would get
Two for twenty
But I appreciate you going to the effort to get it
That's fine it's my pleasure
Is she marketing it as a premium rose
Like what's the marketing behind it
Is it all hype for the album
It's like hardly premium.
I'm pretty sure it's available in the UK exclusively at Tesco or some shit.
Oh, can I see the bottle?
Is that the supermarket over there?
Yeah, Tesco's gross.
It's a nice bottle.
Can I see it?
Yeah.
And in all fairness, I can understand why you would have asked that question.
Is she marketing it as a premium wine?
Because if you go to the Kylie Minogue Wine's Instagram, it's fucking lush.
Like she makes it look like it's beautiful. Oh, yeah the Kylie Minogue Wines Instagram, it's fucking lush. Like, she makes it look like it's beautiful.
Oh, yeah.
Kylie Minogue Rosé Vindifers.
Delicate and fruity, if the fruits are fucking off grape,
with alluring aromas of crisp summer berries and blossom.
Now, explain to me, what the fuck is the smell of blossom?
I couldn't tell you, actually.
It depends what's blossoming.
Yeah, aromas of blossom.
Kylie's foot, maybe?
A chrysanthemum?
Yeah, potentially.
An agapantha?
All these things blossom.
Made from perfectly ripe, sun-drenched tomato grapes.
There's the problem.
From south-facing vineyards.
See? That's sus. So what? South-facing. south-facing vineyards. See?
That's sus.
So what?
South-facing.
South-facing vineyards in Bristol.
Like, this French-style rosé.
No, French-style, not from France.
South-facing vineyards.
What are they facing?
The M1?
There's a lot of shit southbound.
This should be making a bomb off it, though.
Look at all the basic gays that have gone out of their way to get it.
Totally.
No offence to your boyfriend.
No, he was going.
He's like, get a photo for my Instagram story.
I'm like, sure.
Didn't take a photo.
I'm like, you don't need this.
It's delicious on its own or pairs beautifully with salads and seafood or a cigarette.
It doesn't say that.
No, it doesn't.
But see, now that is what I'd buy.
I mean, the labelling.
I've got to hand it to Kyle.
The labelling is great.
Your close personal friend.
Yeah.
This is literally how I imagine,
so this is probably last Christmas when the idea came out,
Kyle would be like,
Hi, family Minoags.
Minogue family Christmas.
Hi, hi, hi.
I'm spinning around.
Are you playing at grandma?
No, you still love the song.
Hi, Danny.
Danny, I've got this idea.
Talk to me.
What is it? I'm thinking I'm going to create a rosé.
That was her reaction.
Meanwhile, Danny's been working hard on her Target range
and her Foster Grant campaign.
No, but I feel like Danny would be the one who would be like,
you know, I'm thinking of starting my own wine.
Yeah.
And Kylie comes and...
And takes it.
Oh, do you think that's what happened?
Danny's like, I'm going to make a white.
Meanwhile, Kylie gets it out.
We're killing it.
Yeah.
To Kylie's credit, she has never been one of those people
that's developed one of those foul hybrid accents
after moving overseas away from Australia.
Yeah.
Very true.
Although, actually, you know what's funny?
I heard this grab played on the Kyle and Jackie O show this week.
You've never heard of them?
No, they're up in Camas, regional.
They're on Coast FM's number one night show. Yeah, the next Dan and jackie o show uh this week heard of them no they're up in cameras regional they're on coast fm's number one night show and they're the next diana man they are yeah they
really are they're the next fifi angels um and kylie has revealed the secret to her um
the secret to sounding posh because she's obviously living in the uk and she's in like
high society i didn't realize but kylie's huge in the uk oh yeah like bigger than she's here that's why she's there
royalty and i didn't realize anyway um she has said in an interview that uh the key to mingling
with high society and sounding posher than you are is to speak with your teeth so close to touching
without actually moving them you know what we should practice?
What?
I've got this method to sound really posh.
You just, you talk
and you don't let your teeth touch,
which for you and I
is a little tricky.
Oh my God.
Do you want to try it?
Yeah.
Yes.
Okay.
So you just say anything you want.
Just don't let them touch.
Actually, you don't,
you don't let your lips touch.
I got it wrong.
There's some words that are a little bit tricky.
Why did you try it?
I tried it out.
Forget your teeth.
Wait, what?
That's the same as I said last week about sounding like a gronk.
Oh, you said that too, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
No, but you said don't move your mouth at all.
Yeah, okay.
So my, if you weren't listening last week,
my theory that I've heard is that some Aussie farmers
have their certain twang, like their really true blue accent
because they don't move their lips very far apart
because they're trying to avoid swallowing flies
by not opening their mouth very wide.
So to be like, good day, mate, how are you?
Yeah, don't open your mouth too wide.
That's why I kind of sound like this.
So what was hers?
Hers is that you clench your teeth so they're almost touching,
but they're just not, and then you speak like this,
and apparently that's it.
Oh, yeah.
I'm almost feeling.
So if you kind of freeze your teeth and make them stay.
Oh, I see.
Well, that's so true.
Yes, I guess it's true because you're rather posh.
You didn't have the time to move your lips.
Actually, now that you mention it,
I do remember hearing Kyle and Jackie talk about this,
and Jackie made a very good point.
She said, wouldn't they think you're a bit fucking insane if you start talking like this?
Yeah.
Hello.
Darling.
Yeah.
Sounds like the royal prank call.
Oh, dear God.
Google it.
I'm the queen.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
No.
None of that can happen.
Probably a good time to check the traffic.
WSFM time saver traffic.
It's fine.
I'm done.
I'm done.
Just give me one every five minutes and I'm happy.
Do you know why, Mitchell, there's a condom here on this very desk?
I couldn't tell you.
One natural rubber latex.
You know, when I was a kid, I found condoms in my mom and dad's wardrobe
a box and i kept them and i filled them up with water at the tap like they were water bombs no
like they're all baby slugs every day after school i'd come home and i'd play with them
and they'd jiggle and that was so much fun because they're little cylinders they're like
little floppy sea cucumbers and then my mom came home from school she's like mitchell hi
check we doing that shoe oh dear confiscated them and mum and dad had to sit me down and i vividly remember
them being like mitchell you can't play with those therefore when you're having a fun time
and i was like what do you mean like well at you know at auntie karen's 40th we used a lot of these
we had a lot of fun with these and i literally remember thinking oh wow okay you had a water
party water bomb party i can't wait for my 40th.
That sounds like fun.
Did you not question why they were lubed?
Nope.
Okay.
That's why I love them, because I'm like, slimey little sea slugs.
I had so much fun with them.
I'm like, this is the tits.
Do you remember those weird toys that were like a fleshlight?
They were kind of like that, but like you'd drop them.
Yeah.
They were difficult to grip.
Yeah, and they were like almost exclusively sold via an AMF bowling alley.
Like, they were always a prize at a fair.
Yeah, or they were always...
You could find them at a go-lo or some shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they were like...
They would sometimes have little animals in them, like fish and shit.
Dolphins.
Dolphins, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are they called?
Groundskeeper, Jen.
I'll do your fucking job.
Please Google.
What's that weird dildo cylinder-looking thing that you can't grip?
I know they're at the Easter show a lot. yeah there you go that's the smell of condom sort of shit we're dealing with i've opened the condom what for i just want to see what for
it's a bit foul isn't it
i was going to put it over my microphone because i thought that could be a good way to protect
germs from everyone in the studio using my microphone.
It can save me from getting COVID.
But do you think it'd still pick up audio?
Are we really doing this?
I think we should try.
Okay, there's... Let's get the answer.
They're called...
Yeah.
Water wigglers.
Oh!
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
There you go.
It's good to know.
Yes.
Children love squishing and squeezing the water wiggle.
About a nine-inch microphone.
These ones.
Yeah, that's them.
Okay, so you've just put a condom on the microphone.
You think that's going to stop the spread of COVID?
Yep.
I'm going to do a test.
Okay.
Count me down.
I'm confused.
Three, two, one.
Three, two, one.
Oh, my God.
Can you hear this? Oh, my God. Wow, two, one. Three, two, one. Oh, my God. Can you hear this?
Oh, my God.
Wow.
That sounds cool.
It's like you're on AM, but the rest of us are on FM.
Oh, yeah.
Do you believe?
And now you have to laugh.
I feel something.
Can you add some static and talk into that?
Yeah, okay.
The rumbling static sound effect and talk into that.
I'll do Orson Welles' The War of the Worlds.
Here we go.
Metallic beasts fall from the sky.
Thousands of dead children's feuds gold burn.
The metal birds soar from south to east.
The only word from governing forces still alive and surrounded in the tide. The metal birds saw from south to east.
The only word from governing forces still alive and surrounded in the tide is simply run.
Run and hide.
Don't care for your loved ones.
Don't look for your loved ones.
Your loved ones don't care for you.
The end is nigh.
Right now you're traffic.
WSFM.
Because of the end of the world, you still need to worry about roads.
Can you at least get the kids traffic bed?
That one's funny.
No, this one's funny.
It's WSFM because I love how it goes.
I hate that.
Oh, that was gross.
Yuck.
Oh, your mic's all lubed now.
You're going to have to get that off.
Why did you do that?
Hey, people loved it.
How do you know?
Well, let's go to the only source we have, which is live tweets.
Yeah.
Chris Simmons says, hilarious content, very funny.
We have an email coming through from James Beckett.
Funny, funny, funny.
All I can say is simply funny.
That is Durex condoms we'd love to sponsor.
Sure.
I will clean it though.
Well, we should go, guys.
Yeah.
Thank you for listening.
See ya.
I'm not getting out of here yet.
Why?
We have just been told that there's 19 people watching us on Twitch.
Oh, is there?
19 people watching us.
Hi, Twitch. I believe that is Ellen's DJ watching Twitch. Oh, is there? 19 people watching us.
Hi, Twitch.
I believe that is Ellen's DJ watching us.
Oh, yeah.
What do you mean there's 19 people watching us on Twitch?
I didn't realise we were on yet.
We're on Twitch.
We're live.
They can see us. I don't really know what Twitch is, everyone.
So isn't that that thing that everyone goes on gaming for?
Yeah.
Any comments coming through on Twitch?
Yeah.
So bloody Sam, who we've dragged on the podcast a couple
of times, works in the office, has been trying to convince me to
livestream the show on Twitch, and I'm
like, you do it, I can't be fucked. So
apparently it's just made it happen. There's 19 people watching.
Yeah, record-breaking stuff there.
But isn't there meant to be gaming
and shit? Yeah, but
apparently people just love
watching other people talk
on Twitch. Who knows?
Really?
I think it began as gaming primarily and then kind of emerged more.
In the same way that TikTok started as dancing.
Yes.
But now it's not just that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, how many have you made as viral yet, Sam?
What's the guy?
Well, I feel like 19 is close to viral.
Oh, I see.
I've just logged on.
We're in the just chatting category.
Oh, that's nice.
Technically, we are.
Yeah.
This is meant to be the secret segment, but now we're bloody broadcasting.
To the world.
Okay, well, in that case, should people go follow us on Twitch?
Is that what you do on Twitch, Samuel?
Do you know much about it?
I've not a clue.
I guess he can.
I think he can.
Okay.
Add a couple of Mitches on Twitch.
I'm assuming that's the username.
Get across it.
Someone's just commented on our Twitch saying,
you don't even know your own Twitch handle.
Well, fucking shoot me.
I don't even know what Twitch is.
Don't yell at the Twitchers.
We're new here.
Be kind.
Ellen's DJ.
I just keep thinking.
They've had a rough trot, Ellen's team.
Don't yell at Twitch.
He's a good one.
He's the only one we can trust.
He's the only one on that team that don't hit each other,
doesn't hit the staff, allegedly.
There's no allegations of that. There's no allegations of that.
There's no allegations of Twitch.
Or Ellen hitting anyone.
No, there's allegations of her using verbal words to hit them.
Nice recovery.
Thank you.
No, the only Twitching was their faces after Ellen hit them verbally.
I've got a challenge for you.
Yeah.
Between now and the end of the show, which in fairness isn't long,
don't make anything up.
Okay.
It'll be a boring show.
Just ask questions and tell the truth.
You can't say that Ellen hits her staff.
I didn't.
A piece of gold somewhere I found
when I went to get wet wipes.
You found?
Yeah.
I think I'll live in it.
It's beautiful.
Very cold.
And that's the truth. No lies. live in it. It's beautiful. Very cold. And that's the truth.
No lies.
I believe it.
Don't need to.
We're almost hitting all the mediums.
TikTok.
Twitch.
Facebook.
We'll be on.
We'll be on.
This will be on Channel 7 soon.
Live to air.
They won't even ask what's happening.
The Project with Wally and Ali. W live to air. They won't even ask what's happening. The Project with
Wally and Ali.
Wally and Ali.
Wally and Ali.
I've got a regional radio show.
Not even Wally. We said Wally.
Like the stripy cunt everyone looks for.
Wally and Ali.
Where's Wally and Ali?
Where's Wally and Ali?
This is very dry as dough.
I don't want to listen to you eating.
All right, let's go.
It's been a great show.
It's been the worst, actually.
It's been terrible.
Bold.
I actually think it's been a very good show.
What's wrong with you two today?
Very grumpy.
Because I've been harassed for saying bold.
Jenna, I've been harassed multiple episodes.
Mitch has been harassed.
Georgie Gardner's been harassed.
We all put up with it.
Do you think she just doesn't go to Channel 9 studios daily because she's been harassed?
No.
She gets trolls commenting on her outfits every day.
You're lucky we don't pull apart your blouses.
My blouse, it's a jumper.
I know, I can't see over the TV screens.
You saw me earlier.
Truth is my new brand.
No fib feb.
I'm doing no fib feb.
Oh, that's not for me. You do no dry July. I'll do no fib feb. I'm doing no fib feb. Oh, that's not for me.
You do no dry July.
I'll do no fib feb.
So you've got a few months left.
I definitely didn't do dry July.
I'll tell you something for nothing.
Someone, that person that's on Twitch, they've just said, oh, it's the end already.
Fuck me.
Well, you're going to have to go search.
Is it just me?
Yeah.
Listen to the rest of the podcast.
Is anyone else commenting or is that one woman?
No, it's the one person. Yeah. But they're enthralled. I'm sure just me? Yeah. Listen to the rest of the podcast. Is anyone else commenting or is it that one woman? No, it's the one person.
Yeah.
But they're enthralled.
I'm sure they are.
Yeah.
Jenna.
It's one of the hardest mispronunciations we've done.
It's hard to think of another word that has the A-L-D.
I thought of plenty.
So did I, but I've done them all.
I've withheld all the information.
That's how you say it. Withhold. You wouldn't say withhold. I've withheld all the information. That's how you say it.
Withhold.
You wouldn't say withhold.
No, withheld.
Anyway, I don't think he's following, Jenna.
No, that doesn't really.
We're back next week.
We've already hooked what's on, for God's sake.
Leave us a review, five stars if you can,
and write something, for goodness sake.
If you wouldn't mind.
If you've gotten this far,
why don't you try and slip the word pig pen in the next review.
What?
Try it.
What word?
Pig pen.
Oh.
I thought you said pig pen.
I was like, I don't want that in my fucking book.
I've changed it.
It's now pig pen.
No, don't put that in.
The word pig pen.
But here's an example for EG.
I.E.
Jenna puts up with those two boys in that pig pen every week and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Can someone leave that as a comment? No, I've pig pen every week and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Can someone leave that as a comment?
No, I've already done that.
You can't do it.
Someone has to be creative and include pig pen.
What about another one?
I love Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
I'm writing this with my pig pen.
Ha ha, LeMayo, only joking.
I'm writing it with my iPhone.
Very funny.
Pig pen, you know, from Typo.
They still have pens with the pigs on them.
I always walk into Typo and they're always like,
Hey, welcome to Typo.
Always American.
I'm like, where have you come from?
Hey, welcome to Typo.
Do you need any for a binder?
No, thank you.
What about a satchel bag with a Harry Potter crest on it?
No, I'm good, thanks.
What about a pen with the Statue of Liberty?
I think I'm fine.
Statue.
Statue of Liberty. Or this giant fucking pig on a pen. Do you know what I mean? I'm fine. Statue. Statue of Liberty.
Or this giant fucking pig on a pen.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm not making this up.
I'm going to Google pig pen.
Say that. I know what you mean.
Do you know what I mean?
You're not agreeing.
What are you doing?
I'm Googling pig pen.
No, but we know what a pig on a pen is.
It's a proof to myself, to be honest.
All right, well, if you work at Typo, I apologise.
That kind of is our demo, isn't it?
Those people, so.
Yeah.
Alternative sense.
I don't want to upset them.
Been a great show.
See you next week.
Mitch, you good?
Yeah.
Jenna?
Mm.
See you back again in a week's time.
Much love.
We'll talk then. See you guys. Thanks a week's time. Much love. We'll talk then.
See you guys.
Thanks for listening.
Bye.
Bye.
Bold.
