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 Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, guys. Hello, welcome back. Another week, another podcast. That's right. Thanks for being here.

Thanks for listening. Jenna's in. Hi. The third wheel. Back again. Trusty. Leaky wheel, let's be real. Leaky wheel.

Leaky wheel. Isn't that leaky wheel gets the most attention? I've never heard that. Google it Groundskeeper Jenna Oh god That's what she's here for She's here to Google

And she's here to offer insights And little You know Quarms Quiffs Quaffs Not a quaff Leaky wheel

What's a quaff What's the one Out of the fenny A queef Jenna's here to offer Googles Offer facts And queefs

No I wouldn't have thought so She's the only one That can produce How are we all We're feeling good Produce Do you know what I In general Google's offer facts and quiz. No, I wouldn't have thought so. She's the only one that can produce. How are we all? We're feeling good? Do you know what?

In general, in terms of life, I'm feeling really good. I came in here in a really good mood. But I've just got to be honest and say I get irrationally mad every time some sort of tech fuck-up plagues the show for weeks. I don't know if anyone watching our videos on TikTok and whatever have noticed, but I have not had our logo behind me. I know that it's an audio medium, so it's not that important, but you've got your logo behind you. You look fine, but I look like I'm alone in some dark room,

like some sad piece of shit. Yeah. And they said to me today, don't worry, we'll fix it. Nah, they haven't. It's still black behind me here in the studio. Yeah, it looks like one of those video messages that a summer bin Laden would do from the dark, dark caverns. And he's like, I have three hostages. That's what you look like.

Your hair looks beautiful, though, I have to say. You're glowing. Really? Yeah, and you know what? I don't want to bring it up, but your eye bags have reduced. Well, yes. You were the one that pointed out that it was an issue and you gave me the roller. I said, try this.

And he thought, he took that as, you have eye bags. No, but I think that it's important to, you know, make people aware of things, of things that they can improve on. If they might not have been aware themselves, I'd never really paid attention to my eye bags. Now it's all I can look at in the mirror. Same. I'm constantly examining them.

Anyway, we have been told by the techs too, because we record this in a radio station, that we actually have, so we're recording this on a Friday night, we have until a very set time, literally at 7.30 on the knocker, this studio will turn off for maintenance. It'll stop. What? What do you mean?

Not the whole thing. What parts of it turn off? The whole thing will turn off. My mic, Jenna's mic, your mic, the desk will turn off. So it'll essentially just black out like that. We'll be gone. So it's just sort of things like that. I think we should just end it here.

It's been a great week, guys. I tell you what, the bloody techs here, they've got a hard job on their hands, I will admit. But it's just so weird how things fail. You know, the software that I use to control the backdrop here in studio that I was just ranting about, it's only this studio that I can't control. Every other station that Kiss owns around the country I can control. I could put our logo in Perth right now if I wanted to, but I can't put it behind me. Why do I have that option, but I can't put it behind me?

Jenna, can you Google who's on air in Perth right now? Yes, of course. I want to just give them a nasty surprise. I think it's Boticus Bunch. No, they're in the morning. Isn't it Wendy Rue and Dingo? Who is it? Imagine if I just put some random picture.

Because I'm not just talking the studios around the country. Even, like, the TV screens in their reception. Oh, my God, do it. We have to do it. Every, like, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, all the stations around the country. You mean our screens, a couple of Mitch's screens? Anything.

I could put like a bloody, I could put a Zaria Chamberlain behind them if I wanted to. Help find Maddie McCann poster. In Perth, Russell Clark is currently live. Russell Clark's going to get a nasty surprise. Should we call him and say, hey mate, turn around. Happy Halloween. Just scare him. It's just some tits.

Jenna, take a photo of your tits. Put the blue waffle up there, the blue fanny. That'll freak him out. 12 past nine, hearing, oh my goodness me. It just blows my mind that I can do that, and yet I can't control the TV screen behind me. I'm sitting in darkness. Why?

Every studio work except ours. Sorry, we're rambling. We've got a time bomb on our hands. Can't you? This is like 24, that Kiefer Sutherland film, 24 hours to get the bomb or something. That's how I feel. Can't you just put a USB in that TV? Just plug it in?

No, I'd have to rip the felt off the wall. It's a whole thing. Well, it is a big show. Who has USBs? Right, no, very true. Today, we are bringing back one of my favourite segments and one that really didn't catch on because you did so well at it last time, Mitch. I think so too.

To my surprise. I was cheating myself in the leader. Yeah, it's Instant Interview, which I sort of coined because I do a lot of interviews for my radio show on Kiss FM, and I thought how fun would it be, and it's my job, right? How fun would it be to throw Mitch into the midst

of a live radio interview with a celebrity, with talent without any preparation or any knowledge about who that person is exactly and that sort of challenge wouldn't freak you out because you're the king of winging it whereas I can't wing it I can only perform I'm only at my best if I feel prepared beforehand not like rehearsed but just some information and research to fall back on you You wouldn't even tell me their name. Well, that's the thing. Last time, I think it was episode 26.

Yeah, it was Harry Jousey from Hot Trot or something. Yeah, that awful Netflix show. He's huge, though. He's into, like, e-commerce. All Insta stories, like, I made a million dollars overnight. Here's my dick. I'm like, no, what a weird brand. He's a great guy, actually.

I got along well with him from memory. That was a good chat. I went and watched the show out of curiosity, and I was like, this is rubbish. That's the thing, Jenna. We've already done it because I thought, how can we one-up Mitch? I want to put him out of his comfort zone so far that he stumbles, right? So I thought, Mitch has an afternoon nap around 3.30 every afternoon.

I know that. We're that close. I know his sleeping schedule. So around 3.35, straight after said nap, when his alarm goes off, I thought I'd give him a call and patch him through to a celebrity guest. Actually, I should say two celebrity guests. Yeah, there was more than one. He didn't find his feet at the start. Hello, Mitchell speaking.

You're on now. This is your instant interview. Good luck. What, they're there? Mitchell. What? What? Yeah, look.

Oh, Jenna. And they were on Zoom. I could see them. There's two of them. They're big international names. You know what? I will give you credit where it's due, though, because you've pitched this segment to me multiple times,

being like, let's bring it back. And I'm like, I don't think it's going to be any good because last time I was hella anxious, but then I ended up nailing it. So now that I know I can do it once, I can probably do it again. But you raised the stakes. You sprung it on me. I didn't even have time to sit here and mentally prepare

and have my sweaty palms. I have to say, it's so good. It was just out of nowhere. I was still half asleep. And bless him, you could hear the little sleep in his eyes. You know when you wake up from nap and you've got cotton mouth? He's like, Mitchell. I don't want to even hear it.

I'm so worried. We'll do that later in the show. Mitchell. We need to start now. Welcome to the show if it's your first time. God, what chaos. We're trying to rush to the end. We're just going to all get blown up.

We shouldn't have to work under these conditions. It's ridiculous. The show's called Is It Just Me? And they're to rush to the end. We're just going to all get blown up. We shouldn't have to work under these conditions. It's ridiculous. The show's called Is It Just Me? And they're the basis of the show. We call them idjams. It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Oh, shit. What?

It's Timmy Trumpet. What? It's Timmy Trumpet. I have an interview for my night. Sorry. What? Timmy Trumpet, the award-winning DJ. Are you not kidding?

No, I'm not kidding. It's actually Timmy Trumpet. How does this keep happening? I'll take it. Just shush. Wait, do we want to talk to him or no? Cut, cut. Timmy Trump at the award-winning DJ. No, I'm not kidding. It's actually Timmy Trump. How does this keep happening? I'll take it. Just shush. Wait, do we want to talk to him or no? Cut, Timmy? No, you go.

I don't know who that is. I don't even know what he's doing anyway. I'm going to just quickly put this through. See, again, winning it. Oh, gosh. Hi, Timmy. Thank you to all the fans out there for their support for so long. I really appreciate it.

Looking forward to catching up with you guys on Saturday. Too good, man. Stay safe and have fun. Good luck. Cheers, mate. Ciao. Thanks, guys. See ya. Sorry about that. Very sorry. How does this keep happening? That's happened a few times where you've accidentally

double-booked interviews on this podcast. Who have we had so far? We've had... Oh, shit. It's Julia Morris. It's Delta Goodrum. I liked that one. That was good. Oh, yeah, she was very nice. Oh, shit, it's Chris Sebastian.

And now Timmy Trumpet of all people. Like, the breath. Like, who's the most random person we can get on? The breath of my show. Why does this keep... And why do you panic? Oh, shit. It's Dr. Harry from Better Homes and Gardens.

Why does this keep happening? Oh, shit. It's Dr. Harry from Better Homes and Gardens. Why does this keep happening? Oh, shit. It's Muhammad Ghani. Oh, shit. It's Shana Blaze. Oh, shit. It's Kelly Clarkson. One more thing I don't even prep for my own radio show.

I believe you don't. I do prepare. I do prepare for the big ones. But Jesus Christ. All right. We should you don't. I do prepare. I do prepare for the big ones, but Jesus Christ. All right, we should start. Where are we even? Or is it just me? There's two of them.

You went first last week. Why don't I go first? Yeah, I think you should go first. There's no more interviews double booked, right? I have to check my calendar. I'm really not sure if I'm honest.

Let's go. Is it just me or... Are you all so obsessed with Among Us? What? Let me play the music. Hold on. The number one game in the world right now is Among Us. Among Us.

What did you think I was saying? Do you actually want to know what I thought you said? Yeah, go. I thought you said mung ass as in the eating ass. And I was like, nah, just you. Not a fan of eating ass. Another strike against my name in the eligible gay category. And is that a game to you?

That's considered a game? Why would you not question that? Imagine if I actually brought to the table, guys, is it just me? Oh, do you love mung ass? Did you see my face? I wasn't exactly just like, oh, yeah. Go back on the tapes. Go back on the tapes, future Mitchell, and look at his face.

How embarrassing. Anyway, sorry, I've heard about this. It's a game. What is it called? Adding the music back in. It's called Among Us, right? Among Us. Now, raise your hand if you're an ex-theatre kid.

I mean, we've all done theatre, right? Jenna's an ex-theatre girl. You've done a bit of theatre. Friends with Shakespeare. Drama at school. I played the violin in the orchestra of my school musical. No, not exactly. No. You had enough real-life drama with the drought. You didn't need to play drama. Friends with Shakespeare. Drama at school. I played the violin in the orchestra of my school musical. No, not exactly.

No. You had enough real-life drama with the drought. You didn't need to play drama. I can imagine that justification as a teacher. We're not doing Shakespeare. We have enough tragedy day by day. Here in the farm. Among Us is a computer game.

It's basically Mafia, right? Did you ever play Mafia? It's what you do with a group of friends. There's ten people on a spaceship, right? Little humans. And the spaceship is broken. You've all got to work together to fix the spaceship. Except there's one imposter among us.

And that person goes around the ship one by one killing people. And say, for example, you and I are working in the maintenance room and we walk out and we see Jenna dead. And we're playing with, I don't know, Carrie-Anne Kennelly. And we see Carrie-Anne Kennelly running out of the room. You and I can call an emergency meeting. And we go, hey, I saw Carrie-Anne Kennelly. And we see Carrie-Anne Kennelly running out of the room. You and I can call an emergency meeting. And we go, hey, I saw Carrie-Anne Kennelly walking away from Jenna's cold, decapitated corpse. And we can kick her off.

But then Carrie-Anne's not the imposter. And I then go, but it wasn't me. It must be you. It's just brilliant. It's a mind game. Oh, so you blame Carrie-Anne. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

That's how it works. Is it like one of those games, like, I don't know, Fortnite or Words with Friends, where real people actually play along or are these just computer-generated things? I love the benchmarks for games. That's the breadth I've got to offer. Is this like Fortnite or Tic-Tac-Toe? Hops Scotcheth?

Twister? I couldn't play Twister. I'd tear my ACL. All right, Groundskeeper Jenna, can you jump on eBay, get a Twister mat? I want't play Twister. I'd tear my ACL. Groundkeeper Jenna, can you jump on eBay? Get a Twister mat. I want to make it happen. Anyway, I'm getting Twister right now. So is it real people or is it fake people?

Real people from around the world, right? Oh, my God. I actually want to play. I think we might do it at the end of the show. Secret segment, stand by. I want to get us all playing Among Us. It's very fun. Or we could live stream it on Twitch.

I don't know. You're the tech brains. You're the nerds. I don't know. I'm not much of a gamer outside of like the sims yeah and kid pics i don't have much gaming experience i did love tekken i do love to bash a cunt every now and then see this is why i think you'd love it one because no one knows you're the murderer and two you literally get to go around and kill people and then confront other

people for doing it it's literally your life what makes what about that says oh that would appeal to mitchell killing and accusing the enjoyment of confrontation you love you you're good at confrontation you don't enjoy it you're good at it so no no no i'm i'm not good at confrontation i'm just assertive there's a difference well you'd be confrontation makes it sound like i go around picking five no you don't Actually, that's very true. But you'd go around and go, I think it was blue. I saw blue in the medbay. Slice the throat of red. You'd be brilliant.

Yeah, but then I just come back to the fact that red's fictional. I'm not invested about whether they did it or not. Don't take it literally. It's a fun little game. Well, it's not fun when that was your history. Have you a fun little game. Well, it's not fun when that was your history. Have you actually played the game, though, this

thing? Because I've heard a lot about it. This isn't the first I've heard people talking about it. We have to play it. Hayden and I play it all the time, but the worst part is when I get imposter, I have to kill the poor little cute little boy. And we're sitting next to each other, and I can't say I'm the imposter. Neither of us know. So Hayden's walking around going, I'm just in the med bay. I go, no worries, babe.

Walk around. Sink. Kill him. Also, someone gets assigned as imposter. Yes, it's walking around going, I'm just in the med bay. I go, no worries, babe. Walk around. Sink, kill him. Oh, so someone gets assigned as imposter. Yes, it's random every time. And no one else knows. No one else knows. What sort of game is it, though? Like, is it an app on your phone?

It's an iPhone app. It's an iPhone. Oh, okay, right, gotcha. You can play it online. And I have a Halloween party this weekend and I'm going as one of the little among us. Oh, cute invite. It's just the same one.

What? You're going. It's the same one. Are we going to the same Halloween party? Yes. Are you dressing up? Yeah, of course, as among us. Fuck, I'm going as one of the little among us. Oh, cute invite. It's just the same one. What? You're going. It's the same one. Are we going to the same Halloween party? Yes. Are you dressing up? Yeah, of course. There's among us.

Fuck, I'm not dressing up. What? That sounds fun. We're going to the same party. Are we? Yeah. I just thought it was her close friend. That's all.

Look, look. Your little peas. Your little bean things. Online. I can go public. I can join a game right now. It always surprises me how much of a gamer you actually are. I always forget.

Like, you were well into the Fortnite thing. I feel like you keep it a secret. I do. I don't want it to become my personality. You know, I don't want to be that. But I love a good Fortnite. My God. I have a headset.

The other day I was playing with a toddler and I told him to get fucked and his mum came on. Did you know it was a toddler when you told them to get fucked? That's the only reason I said it. Was this one with like a headset where you said it verbally? I wasn't even using it right because sometimes I get a bit creeped out when I'm playing and then all of a sudden, come to

Frosty Myers with me. Oh god, you hear their voice? Yeah, and I go, Mitch because my name's at Mitch Chu. That's my name. And I go, Mitch Chu, come to Frosty Myers. We can get the Iron Man suit there. And I go, alright. I don't have a headset because I feel very creeped out. I go, oh.

And I just start going there. Anyway, then he fucking gets me killed. I run to my drawer, plug in my headset. Oi, Jacob 70, fuck you, fucking idiot. You fucked up for the lot of us. All right, Jacob, wait. Hi, it's Nancy Jacobs here. Who do you think you are, you smart aleck?

Talking to my sake, I'm sorry, ma'am. Turn the PlayStation off. Enough heart palpitations for the day. He got me killed, though, Jacob. I just have no interest in getting amongst this. I'm sorry. Call me old-fashioned, but no. Okay, well, fair enough.

I was just trying to get you over the line. I didn't sell it well, did I? No, I don't want to in getting amongst this. I'm sorry. Call me old-fashioned, but no. Okay, fair enough. I was just trying to get you over the line. I didn't sell it well, did I? No, I don't want to talk to randoms. Kids. Oh, kids and shit. All right, move on. Your turn. Are you ready?

Yeah. All right. Go for it. Is it just me or...? Do you need a little bit more information about Mitchell Turi's idjim from last week? What? Oh, yes. Yeah, this is a follow-up.

So you said last week, for those who weren't listening, that you ended up in hospital when you were six years old because you clogged your insides by microwaving a bunch of cheesy stringers together. Three or so, yeah. of cheesy stringers together three or so yeah and like not criticizing you know your storytelling abilities but i really struggled to picture what it looked like yeah because i was like how can four cheesy stringers microwave together let's really up and a young person so intensely and so i hope this isn't triggering but i did buy something no do you actually have them yeah oh my god i haven't had these since the day this happened. I'm not joking. How old are you now?

Just turned 25. Is that nine years? No. No. Oh, sorry. Yeah. 19 years, right? Yeah, 19 years since I've even touched a string.

Look at the branding. It's all changed. Yeah. We don't have to. No. No, do it. Do it. Do it, please.

I mean, I'm open to it. I can't eat it. I can't eat it. I wouldn't make to. No. No, do it, do it, do it, please. I mean, I'm open to... I can't eat it. I can't eat it. I wouldn't make you eat them. You're going to have to call an ambulance. My body will reject it. I just want to know what you did, and we'll post this video online too, what exactly you did and then what it looked like after being microwaved.

So you're going to have to step out. Okay, pass me the stringers. I want to have a look. Oh, my God. Look at Mr. Stringer. Eight pack. microwave so you're gonna have to step out okay pass me the stringers i want to have a look oh my look at mr stringer eight pack since 1899 there you go quick game's a good game this studio is going to implode soon so you stay there what sort of cheese is it is it mozzarella oh it's just pure mozzarella have you never had a cheese stringer in your life uh i used to have cheese sticks but not look at them I think we got the home brand because you know drought have a look and you can see the oil in them

the little oil mozzarella thing they look fly me out look at them ready here's what I did it's all coming back to me I think the braid was an early technique I did this I remember it viscerally remember this

you pull it into pieces like this. It's not the braid. The braid's an old technique. And you sort of stack it like little pieces of firewood, like you're on a camp retreat. It actually looks like you're building a bonfire out of cheese strings. Yeah, and that's the point. Well, that makes more sense.

I could not picture the braiding thing. Can you see this now? It kind of looks like a ball, right, or like an object that would sort of block your entire lower intestine. So I'm going to run to the... It still doesn't look that bad. I pictured a plait. It's not a plait.

No, no, no. Like a cheesy braid of sorts. No, no. It doesn't look bad. It just doesn't taste bad. It's brilliant. Like, it tastes phenomenal. Stay there.

Okay. All right, man. Talk amongst yourselves. All right. Oi, can you get me a beer from the fridge while you're out there? Yeah, I think he heard me. I'm very curious about this. I mean, for all we know, this could actually taste dope and it could take off.

It could. They'll name it after him. It'll be the cheesy stringer a la Mitchell. Wouldn't it be great to have a food named after you? Oh, I want a food named after me. But I don't know what. Yeah. It's like Keish Lorraine.

Who the fuck's Lorraine? Could you Google that? Who's Lorraine in Keish Lorraine? I genuinely want to know. And while you're at it, open a new tab. Actually, maybe I can help out. You Google who the fuck's Lorraine. I will Google who's Diane.

State Diane. State Diane. Who is Diane? Okay, it comes up as one of the most recommended searches. So clearly I'm not the only person that's wondered who the fuck Diane is. Yeah, same with Keish Lorraine. Wait, let me see. It is often attributed to...

Oh, the whole music's run out. Now we have to fill the silence. So apparently Stag Diane is supposedly named after the Roman goddess Diana or Diane. Why? Why do they credit her? Because it was very popular in the 50s and 60s. I feel like that's after her time. I knew her personally and that was ages before then.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure yours and the Roman goddess Diana's parents used to take turns carpooling. Of course they did. Of course. They were very close, very close. Quiche Lorraine. Who's Lorraine? Lorraine isn't a person. Where'd it come from?

It was named after the Lorraine region of France. So there's a region of France called Lorraine. It's spelled the same name as Lorraine. Well, I was going to say how exciting it would be to have a food named after you. It's a secret recipe.

I've got the cheese ball. Do you have my beer? Yeah. Thank you. I forgot a bottle opener there. Oh, it's all right. I'll do it on the desk. Okay.

Do you need me to read you the music? Yeah, it ran out, but I was fine with it. It was stressful. Are you ready for the... Oh! Oh, my! That's a trick I've got. Open it on a table bed.

Jesus fucking Christ! Sorry. God. Carry on. Do you on a table bed. Jesus fucking Christ. Sorry. Carry on. Do you have a name for this? Cheesy ball. Cheesy ball. Here's my cheesy ball. This actually looks delicious.

You're going to try it. You have to. You've been finger bashing it. No way. No, sterilise it, sterilise it. Are we ready for cheesy ball reveal? Three, two, one. Oh, yuck.

No, that's gross. It's actually reduced in size. Like, it looks like there's less cheese on the plate. Yeah, well, it's 90% preservative, so I think the microwave burns that out. It actually kind of looks like a liver. Yeah, it does. It's got a real organ look to it. There's an oily sheen.

It just looks like slime. I kind of want to squish it It sticks to it Oh my god I'm tilting I'm tilting the chopping board sideways And it's not moving at all That's horrid

It almost looks like a bull's testicle It looks like a camel's snot rocket It really does Oh he's eating it Yeah I just picked up a little bit Go go go go go Oh Oh god he's eating it. He's eating it. Yeah, I just picked up a little bit. Go, go, go, go, go. Oh.

Oh, God. He's tasting it. Oh. I mean. It's just cheese. No, the taste is fine, but the texture. I'm chewing it, but it just doesn't seem to be disintegrating, which is the issue you had with your organs.

Yeah. Like, it feels like, do you remember when you were, like, young and you might have chewed on a bouncy ball or something, something that ought not be chewed on? I feel like I'm not supposed to swallow this. Oh, you're definitely not. It feels dangerous. You're definitely not to be swallowing this. It literally feels like a choking hazard.

I honestly thought I made that very clear with the previous story, Mitchell. That's not what I pictured at all, just so you know. Try it, JJ. Wait, wait what I pictured at all, just so you know. Try it, Jenna. Wait, wait, wait. It's very plasticky. Do you want me to get my mother on to corroborate? To prove that this actually happened? Oh, I never doubted you for a moment.

Oh, so you believe the story? Yeah. Oh, great. No, I can't. Yeah, that is not good. I'm calling my mother because I want to prove to you one thing. Ready? Just... This is not prepared.

I have not planned this with you. She might not answer because private number. Oh, she probably will because she'll go, it's the nursing home for mum. Hello? Hi, it's me. Mitch and Jenna are here too. We're doing the podcast.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Mitch has brought something in studio for me. And think, this is like one of those, you know, articulate you're playing at the end when you both have to get the same answer and you win. Yeah, okay, sorry, what's the question Mitch has brought?

Okay, the question is Mitch has brought one food item into the studio that I'm banned from eating, that you banned me from eating from my childhood after one severe incident. Okay, I know exactly what they are, but I can't think what they're called. They're like cheese, the cheese wraps, cheese and, you know, cheese rollies. Stringers. Stringers. Cheese stringers.

Stringers. Cheese stringers. Well done. Stringers. Cheese stringers. He's banned from stringers because he ached so many of them that they got clogged in his bowel and he nearly had to have, they thought it was his appendix.

He had to have emergency surgery. Well, I've just asked him to recreate the dangerous recipe that sent him to hospital in the first place four cheesy stringers microwave together and it really looks unsafe to be consumed it looks like play-doh they've got it in front of me mom they want me to eat it again they're pressuring me to eat it mom or it looks like someone left a hot glue gun on and the stick melted and you pick it up off the table don't eat that that's it you've got it you just got to try and you know extract that out you know you've got to eat that. That's it. You've got to try and, you know, extract that out.

You know, you've got to pass that and it's very hard to pass. Oh, do you remember the passing of it? Oh, that was the hard bit. Really? Oh, I mentally blocked that out. That didn't happen for me. Yeah, that was bad. Oh, shit.

Was he like a woman in labour? Like, ah, push! That had to come out and it was, yeah, a lot of muvacol. Yep. Goodness me. Andvacol. Yep. Goodness me. And castor oil. Oh. To, like, get it out?

To get it out. Oh, God, there's more and more layers to this story emerging. You said it was just one laxative and out you get, but, no, it sounds like it was quite a process. Canola oil and two long fingers. Yes, God. You know this is like an onion. There's many layers.

Oh, goodness. All right, thanks, Mum. Love you. Have fun. See you guys. Bye. Bye. Bless her.

Mumma Churi there. I really thought you were dobbing me in there. I was like, oh, she's going to blast me because I've given you food that you're banned from. Look at you eating them in their normal state. It's delicious. Are you triggered? I can't take this. I don't want you to take the cheese ball. I'm moved on.

I'm a new man, Jen. I don't need it. What made you think to microwave them together in that awful blob like that? I was a curious kid. You know, don't stop curiosity. It's what keeps kids going. Do you know what I used to do? Yeah.

This is not food related, but I don't recommend this. But you know those iPod shuffles? Yeah, the little ones. The one that didn't have the screen. It was with the buttons. You clip it on your bra strap. Yes. You just kind of skip and hope for the best.

I had one of those and I accidentally left it in my pocket. It went through the washing machine so it was water damaged. Every morning before I went to school, I would microwave the iPod because the heat would actually make the moisture inside evaporate. Yeah. And it would give me around three to four hours of use and then it would just die again. So I would just microwave it every morning before school

like it was a bloody cup of Jarrah. It was in my routine to microwave my iPod. And at first, Mum and Dad were like, what are you bloody doing? But then they were like, don't forget to microwave your iPod. You'll be bored on the bus. You're listening to Is It Just Me?

A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Jesus. I've got to tell you, I'm getting really sick of those sweepers. Yeah, we really need to recreate some of those. We used to have so many fun ones. Yeah, we've actually had requests to stop playing the chalkboard on the nails. Yeah, I know, but we've been using those generic ones that just say oh is it just me for like weeks we used to have jokes and shit in there we can get bradley to redo then we can get

a voiceover girls to do it as well if we want totally but i feel like that is too much work and i thought the only way we're gonna get new sweepers is to spring it on you on the show so we haven't got much time but um one of our mates, Sam, here at work, he and I came up with an idea. Beautiful Sam. That's his name. Beautiful Sam. Oh, yeah.

He's been on the podcast before and our listeners have asked to hear his sexy voice again. Check his police record, guys. He's out there, probably busy, but whatever. Can you buzz and ask him to come in here? Yeah, hold on. Beautiful. No, he can buzz in here if we really want him to. Beautiful Sam.

And he's British. He's British. You're required. Oi. him to come in here? Yeah, hold on. Beautiful. No, he can buzz in here if we really want him to. Beautiful Sam. And he's British. He's British. You're required. Oi. Yeah. Come in here. I'm going to tell Mitch that idea. Okay.

We were going to do it off air, off the cloud, but I'm like, we may as well just do it because otherwise it won't happen. So welcome to this production meeting, everyone. This is how we produce. Hello, Sam. Oh, hello. Hello, Sam. What number mic are you?

Read it out. What am I? I am number three. Okay. So if you could speak in a sexy voice, that'd be great because everyone's been requesting that. There's been a few people in our Facebook group. They haven't actually though, have they? No, they have. There's been a couple. You're kidding. Yeah.

Welcome. Welcome, Sam. So Sam and I came up with an idea for some sweepers yeah sam pitch it to pitch it to him in a sexy voice i did not know this was happening okay go sam thank you for calling please hold the line one of our girls will be with you shortly girl yeah optimistic demographic yeah i'll be holding more than the line. What's the pitch? Go on. Okay, so the one thing that we've realised working at a radio station here is that we get a little bit carried away when it comes to Sydney's number one,

Sydney's favourite contest, Sydney's this, Sydney's that. And I mean, that's all very true. That's very, very loved. There's so many people making the same claim though. Sydney's favourite radio game. It's like, how do you prove it? Yeah, Sydney's most beloved game. Exactly.

So we're thinking that we need to be able to take some ownership of our own. Okay. We were like, let's come up with some fake flexes. Because it's not just radio there's a podcast called uh do you know jammo and dylan yes yes yeah they claim to be perth's number one podcast and i was like that could be true it could be total bullshit do i care enough to investigate no not really so i just feel like we need to come up with something that sounds impressive yeah but doesn't really mean anything like no one's going to pull us up on it we just have this fake flex right yeah okay and

then from there i thought we can incorporate the fake suburb names so to be like womba darra dean's number one podcast for women over 30 who's gonna fucking do the research and prove us wrong yeah yeah yeah yeah okay so we need oddly specific fake flexes. Okay. So over there, I've given you a blank reset. Okay. Oh, yep. Blank reset. Okay. Yes.

Okay. So what's a fake flex we could roll with? I'm thinking like the number one podcast for... What can we do? The number one podcast... Aged horse women. Oh. Let's try it. Let's try it. And you have to do this on there.

Yeah, okay, alright. Bridge Badooms, number one podcast for aged horse women. At couple of mentions, it's where you can follow us on Instagram and TikTok, guys. Oh, I like it. I like it. Okay. I like it. Okay. What about it. Okay.

What about, what about the number one podcast for weird motherfuckers with heaps of badges on their backpack that aren't confident at parallel parking? Oh my God. That's very wordy. Okay. I've got one. I've got one. Okay. Wow, I've got one. I've got one. Okay, wow, we've got there.

Yep. The number one podcast for fake quirky kids who have always wanted to dye their hair a weird colour but are too scared. Yeah. Yes. All right. Very true. Oh, that is good.

You've got to come up with a suburb. Okay. Lake Barrel Dibble Deeds. Number one podcast for kids who don't have enough confidence to dye their hair a quirky colour. Yay! Sounds like a beautiful lakeside suburb too. And who's going to question you?

They'll go, no one. No one. This does sound like the sort of podcast that some weird motherfucker who was always going to dye their hair blue would listen to. Things that aren't even like a flex. Like just what if we do, you know, it's setter is number one podcast for people who've had loved pets die. Like everyone's been through that.

No, but also specific between the ages of 40 and 47. Have you driven past the billboard? You'll love this podcast. That's treacherous. We need to get those recorded. But I actually have one. I have one. I think we might be able to go for it.

You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you going to voice it? Oh, Sam's going to voice it. Make it thick. Pretty Sam's going to to go for it. You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you going to voice it? Oh, Sam's going to voice it. Okay, make it sexy. Pretty Sam's going to voice it. Okay, you ready? Yep.

All right, straight after the breaker. Here we go. We're in the coming sixth most respected name for tradespeople considering a new career. Very nice. How dare you, sixth? We're at least a high four. Wow, that's brilliant. I remember, oh, this is like a at least a high four. Wow. That's brilliant. I remember, oh, this is like a talkback things on the fly.

You know how 2SM isn't in the ratings? Yes. Because they just dropped out. They were like, oh, we're so shit. Don't want to know. All their catchphrases, they can't say Sydney's number one or anything because they've just got nothing to fall back on. So they've just got the weirdest flexes.

I heard one the other day. It was like, Sydney's favorite weekend fishing show i was like how many fucking weekend fishing shows are there in sydney you're competing with many other people in that category who's the second place favorite fucking fishing show in sydney triple m are very disappointed yeah i'm sure they are jesus that funny. We could be the number one podcast with two gays and a girl. I'm sure we could take that. That's literal branding. If we want to get a tagline.

It's going to take two of those gays or the girl to be listening and then pull us up and go, hang on, bucko, we've got more listeners. And until that, we'll cross that bridge and we come to it. Agreed. Good taglines. You know what? Why don't we do this, say, every six weeks or so? We'll come back in and we'll do a brainstorm.

It's locked in. Thank you, Pretty Sam. Appreciate it, as always. You're welcome. So pretty. I'm always here for you, Mitchell. I wasn't talking to you, but always here for you, Coombs. I thought you'd never ask.

I didn't realise you felt that way. There's been a lot of tension building in the office. I didn't want to say anything. I'm over here, everyone. Hello. Turn Jenna's mic down for a second. I mean, Sam is a video editor, guys, for those who don't know if you felt that way. There's been a lot of tension building in the office. I didn't want to say anything. I'm over here, everyone. Hello. Turn Jenna's mic down for a second. I mean, Sam is a video editor, guys, for those who don't know. Are your videos the only thing that are cut?

I mean, I know Mitchell and I are. You turned me off. Sorry. No, I needed a laugh. I'm not Jenna. I got confused. All right, we need to move on. We have 15 minutes.

Oh, God. Not even. We need to hurry. What have we even got left to do? We have to do instant interview. Now, this, Sam. Okay, Sam, you can take my seat because I don't want to hear this. Sam, it's fine.

It already happened. You know what? For as well as you did last time, you did twice as poorly this time. It was treacherous. So we have a segment where I throw Mitch into an instant interview with a celeb that I'm interviewing for my night show. So Harry Jousey from Netflix was the last one, and Mitch did so well.

He, like, struggled for 10 seconds, found his feet, boom. He was doing better shit than I was doing. I just thought of a few generic questions to fall back on, and then just through sheer coincidence, I realised what show he was on. I'd heard Kyle and Jackie O talking about it. So I was like, right, I've got enough info. I can carry this interview.

And then we were just vibing, me and Harry. Go back and listen to episode 26. You've got to hear it. It is very good. But you've fucking raised the stakes this time and I'm furious at you for it. As soon as I booked these two celebs for my show, I thought they would be perfect for an instant interview.

So I upped the ante. I knew Mitch has a 3.30 nap every afternoon because whenever I try to call him, he goes, hurry up, I've got to have my 3.30 nap, my 3.30 nap. Everything revolves around the fucking 3.30 nap. So he had his 3.30 nap. At 3.35, I booked my interview with these two celebs and I called Mitch and threw him straight in

to the second ever instant interview. Are we ready to roll it? I didn't even have time to think of generic questions to fall back on. I just had to fucking wing it and it was awful because I'm no good at winging it. I'm the queen of research and preparation. You didn't do that bad, but

the start is very awkward. I'm so excited. Mitch, I'm going to roll it now. The second iteration. I actually don't want to hear it. Do I have to hear it? Yeah, you have to hear it, player. Second iteration of Ijum's instant interview. Starting with me calling Mitch with the two celebs on Zoom. I can see them.

They can't see him. Let's go. Come on. Hello, Mitchell speaking. Hi, it's me. Sorry. I was napping. Oh, no.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. How's Pilates? No, it's just me. I'm sorry. Was Pilates okay? No, I was napping. Oh, no. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. How's Pilates? I thought it was someone important, but it's you. No, it's just me. I'm sorry. Was Pilates okay? No, I was napping.

Oh, you were napping? Oh, I thought you had Pilates. Oh, I see. I don't have your schedule in the right diary. We have to tee that up. Anyway, sorry. Really quickly, you're on now. This is your instant interview.

Good luck. You start talking, Mitch. It's an interview. Go for it. Okay. Mitchell. Say hi for God's sake. There's people here on Zoom.

What, they're there? Yeah, yo. We're here. Yo, yo. Hello. Is anyone there? Yeah. Oh, there's more than one of you. Oh, no, that's good. You've all turned up. Yo, yo. Hello. Is anyone there? Yeah. Oh, there's more than one of you.

Oh, no, that's good. You've all turned up. That's good. I wasn't sure if you're all going to turn up. Yeah, we're here. How are you doing today? Two. There's two of us.

Two of us. Two. Two. Okay. Two guys. Ozzy. Good. Ozzy.

I've noticed that you've kept your Aussie accent. That's good. You know how some people get those hybrid yuck accents when they have global success. You guys have, you know, you've blown up overseas, right? I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, God, is that five spots? I figured it out.

Oh, God. Is that five stars? I figured it out. Okay. So, hey, I've heard you guys have got new stuff and it's awesome. You know, you guys are always killing it. Tell us about it. We got some new stuff.

Yeah, we got a new song coming out with the Wombats. It's called Nothing to Love About Love. The Wombats. I mean, that's just a match made in heaven, you know, the Wombats and you guys. Like, I can't believe it. Is this the first time you've collaborated? If so, I can't believe it's the first time.

It just makes so much sense, you know. It is. It's the first time indeed. Great. What would they like to work with? Nice. That was good. That was good,

Mitch. I'll tip my hat to you on that one. Yeah. You're a pro. Yeah. They were good to work with. Hang on. Hang on. I've just realized you guys are internet.

So that's fucking annoying, but I think I've got who you are. I'm trying to remember your first name. I figured out that it's Peaking Duck, right? Hey! You've done it! Oh my god, you've done it! It's Ruben and

it's Adam, is it? Oh, you got it. Well done! You'll have to try better next time, Mitchell, because I've actually met these guys. Have you? Yeah, so I obviously work at Kiss as well, and a couple of years ago, I don't know if you guys remember,

we organised for some guy to propose on stage at one of your shows. Right. Oh, dude, that was so funny. Holy dooly. Yes, I was there for that. I had to film it, and I think I was probably the only person in that whole room that wasn't munted. You can't go to a picking that show sober, guys. It was so weird.

Well done, Mitch. I was very impressed. That was touch and go at the start. Fries. I wanted to leave the room. Napping. Yeah, napping. I'm going back to bed.

Go to sleep. Have a cup of tea. You've earned it. Well done. Nothing to love about love is out now, by the way, with the Wombats. That was great research, Mitch. You to sleep. Have a cup of tea. You've earned it. Well done. Nothing to love about love. He's out now, by the way, with the Wombats. That was great research, Mitch. You did very well.

Almost had a credit line in there, too. My God, you're going to come for my job before we know it. Yeah, you've done great. Thanks, guys. See you, Mitch. All right, bye. Bye. He's gone.

He's out. Well done. Well done, guys. Thank you for putting through the cringe, putting up. I appreciate it. Thank you. That was hilarious. He did recover well.

I was impressed, to be honest. Literally, from asleep to interviewing us in about 30 seconds, that guy deserves a medal. That would be incredible. Yeah, you did well. You guys, that's the first time you're hearing that. I got to say, thank God it was them and not someone super precious that was like, don't you know who I am and my name is Project?

I know, Celia Pavey would never have put up with that bullshit regardless of what science class you shared. Wow, well done, Mitch. Do you know what? Listening back to that, it felt way more awkward than that sounded. I reckon that was actually not half bad. And I'm like, it's actually, you shouldn't bring back this game anymore because it's actually just making me lose respect for your whole job.

I'm like, I could do this shit. He swings it every week. It sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I'm going to up the ante next. I've done it twice. I could do it again. I could do it for a fucking living. Just pretend I give a shit about the guest.

I know exactly what my next plan is. And don't you worry. It'll throw you for two. Jenna knows about't you worry. It'll throw you for two. Jenna knows about it, don't you, Jenna? I don't think throw you for two is a saying. It's been a big show. Isn't it knocking it? Back next week.

Let's throw you for two. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Here we go. Oh, we got all the way through the show. I think we should quickly. Viagra update. Is everything fine this week? Nothing yet.

Haven't had a root. Haven't required the Viagra. Haven't tried it? Haven't touched it? No, no. It literally doesn't have any missing from the capsules. Apart from that one time I tried it, but it didn't work. And then your cat thought it was a toy and chewed it.

No. Well, that's what I've heard. So nothing to report? No. All we know so far is that I took it once before a hookup, but I didn't realise you had to take it quite some time beforehand for it to kick in. And he only had a certain amount of time in his hands. He's like, I've got to go.

I can't wait around, waiting for this to kick in. I was like, fuck, give me three to four hours and we can make it work. How unsexy too. Like, hey, you down tonight? Sure. So I've popped one now, so anywhere in the next three to nine hours, come on over and you can ride me into the sunset. Look, I know that it's unsexy, but I've just got to say, what have I got to lose?

I already thought I was unsexy. At this point, I'm just like, whatever. Hey, hey, you're not unsexy. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I would find someone for you. What? It's a joke. He realized what he was going to say and then he's like, oh, that's awkward. I can't say that.

Hayden might be listening. It was very well thought out. Welcome to AD Debrief. This is the secret segment at the end. I'm not sure at what point we cut off then, but the studio did self-combust. Can you hear me? I'm over here.

We're sitting out in the, what would you call it, the producer's area. Yeah, it's the office. A bunch of portable mics. I can't believe this is what we've been introduced to. I can see it now. So the studio's behind us. There's like three or four technicians underneath the desk, and they're drilling cords, and there's buttons on there.

Everything's gone black. This is embarrassing. Yeah, don't actually rate this, to be honest. Multi-million dollar company. Anyway, welcome. This is our secret segment that we chuck on the end. Keep it a secret because we go a bit rogue and it's not our best work, really.

Like, it doesn't paint us in the best light. Yeah. So if you're hearing this, don't fucking go telling your friends, oh, go listen to this podcast because they've got a secret segment. No. No.

This is our secret. This isn't what you show people when they go, what's your favourite podcast? You know, show them the start. I'll go listen to this podcast because they've got a secret segment. No. No. This is our secret. This isn't what you show people and they go, what's your favourite podcast? You know, show them the start. Don't mention this to them. They have to discover it for themselves and ideally they don't. To be honest.

This week more than ever people might discover it though because we didn't do a formal like wrap up. We didn't actually. We got cut off before we said, see you guys. At what point did the show end? I don't know. I haven't listened back yet. Well, luckily I don't know. I wasn't back yet. Well, luckily I've included some state-of-the-art technology. Oh, we're getting live tweets still.

They sound shit. Out here. Shut up! I don't know how to stop it! Hold on. Hold on. Why is that a loop? A Google Twitter sound effect.

Shut up. Sorry. It's meant to be funny. I know it's meant to be. That was Judy Dench. She said, did everyone like cats? Oh, Judy. That was months ago.

Do you know what's funny? A couple of years ago, Judy Dench was going to be on Kyle and Jackie O. Oh, big hit. And whoever was running their social media at the time, wasn't me, tweeted, tomorrow on the show, Judi Dench joins us. And they accidentally tweeted a picture of Julie Andrews. Oh, no, I remember that.

The other day it happened again, but it was the other way around. There was some sort of story about Julie Andrews and bloody Tiasha, the new girl. She put up a picture of Judi Dench saying, oh, something about Julie Andrews. And I'm like, what is it with those

two? Do they always get confused between each other? If you Google one, does the other come up? Judi Dench and Julie Andrews are different people. Like, one of them's Mary fucking Poppins. Yeah. No, I actually... Completely different. No, I get Judi Dench mixed up with Dame Helen Mirren. Yes.

I think they're both dames and they're both old British sexy kind of old women. Is Julie Andrews a dame? Yes. She's a dame as well. Julie Andrews is the Princess Diaries. Yes. Yeah. That's not her best work, though.

She's Fraulein Maria, for God's sake. True. Yeah, that's not her best work, though. Oh, it's up there. She's Freulein Maria, for God's sake. True. That also did bring her into a new generation of audiences, though. True. It did. You know Dame Judi Dench? And, you know, forbid me if I'm out of line here,

but he's a muff muncher. She's a lesbian. I did not know that. Yep. Are you sure? Oh, she's not out, but you know. How did not know that. Yep. Are you sure? Oh, she's not out, but you know. How old is she? Physically.

I'll Google it. We're actually all sitting at desks. So, Jenna, your duties have been relinquished for this hour. Finally. I'll Google it. Jane, Judy, Jen. That's the one, yeah. I can't hear you guys on my headphones, and it's throwing me off.

I know. It's like we're talking as a normal conversation. We just happen to have sticks held in front of our mouths. We're not as entertaining when we're out of the studio. I remember someone messaged me the other day. They're like, I wish I could be a fly on the wall between you, Jenna and Mitch's. Well, that studio doesn't have many flies. It's more of a moth problem.

It's more of a moth show. I just thought, really? We're either arguing or really planning the show or talking about fucking, you know, Mitch's broken dick. Oh, my God. Speaking of which, can I play you some audio? I'm going to have to do this, like, in a very weird way. I'll edit it into the podcast so it sounds normal for the listeners. But I'll just have to play it for you guys through my fucking speakers.

That's fine. Well, sorry, she's 85, the lesbian. Judy Dench. That's old for a lesbian. Do you know that she's lesbian? It's not like it expires. Sam, how dare you? She's 85.

I just Googled it. Do you know that she's lesbian? Yes, I've read an article. He's read an article, but she's not out. No, no, I'm not knocking it. This is a queer-supporting podcast. She doesn't want people to know. Dame Judi Dench has begun dating a female DJ.

What is this? On The Sun? Los Angeles. Hollywood paparazzi. And no, this is... Daily Mail? Oh, it's The Onion. Yeah, that doesn't sound... Not a great start.

It's The Onion. Is The Onion some BS? It's a satire. Oh, so it's like Batuta Advocate. Yeah, I remember now. There are long-standing rumours, but she has never, ever, ever mentioned it. There's been rumours that she was dating a 32-year-old LA DJ. That's it.

So I retract all my statements. I don't know if she is, but the rumour is that she might be. Very productive. Good for her. Very good for her. What's this audio you're going to play? Oh, yeah. Very productive Good for her What's this audio you're going to play? Oh yeah, so the other day Kyle and Jackie O had like a little bit of a fight on air

Yeah And I just found it fucking hilarious Because it's literally every argument that us three Mitch, Mitch and Jenna have ever had ever Like Oh we all play a role Yeah, if you listen to it You'll have to pick who's who.

Like, who's the Kyle, who's the Jackie? It's really obvious, can I just say. Interesting, because I think knowing the three as well as we do, I'd be the Kyle in the situation. You would think. Well, I'll see. Okay. Because, I mean, I'm not going to, I'll be honest with you guys,

there's been a bit of tension behind the scenes recently. I've been a bit of a cunt because I've been stressed and tired and taken out on you guys, but it's all been resolved. That's the good news, which is why we can laugh about it now. Yeah, it's a whole mess. I told you not to mention it. Sorry. Please.

Who have you been rooting? Jenna. Jenna. Oh, I'm sorry. As if you didn't get enough schlong on Contiki. Now you're going to... Anyway. Fuck the host man on the crew.

Literally clawing her nails into him. Now, this, Mitch, is actually interesting to mention that this was at the start of their show. This is the first thing that was broadcast on their show, right? Oh, so you've heard it. Straight off the bat. No, you told me about the fight. I haven't seen it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It literally happened within the first couple of seconds of them turning the mic on. That's so good. And I was just like, oh, God, this is every argument we've ever had, ready? The golden microphone is on. Hi there.

Good morning, everyone. Hi, Jackie. Hi, guys. Morning, morning, morning, this is every argument we've ever had. Ready? The golden microphone is on. Hi there. Good morning, everyone. Hi, Jackie. Hey, Brooklyn. Morning, morning, morning. Hey. Can someone at least do me the courtesy when I say both your names every morning of saying, well, hi, Kyle, rather than just a generic hi, especially you, Brooklyn. I don't even need to mention your name.

Oh, my God. We've got five seconds in. I don't care. I'm telling you how I want it done. So that's how it's done. Otherwise, you're just quiet like every other newsreader. Good morning, Lord Kyle. Sitting there in the corner like a newsreader should.

Pull yourself out of this conversation. I feel awkward now. Why? What else is going on? Do you know why you guys feel awkward? Why? Why? Because you push back on everything rather than just ever accepting anything.

I wasn't pushing back. I was just going, I didn't realise that you were actually bothered. Not bothered. Not bothered. Don't go putting the Sookie voice on, making it sound like I've got a problem. No, but obviously like you're not very happy. No, I've just, I've noticed it and noticed it and thought, how dumb are they? Can't you say someone's name?

I'm starting to get offended now. Fine. Take offense to her. Whatever works. I'm not. I don't want to be treated like that. Treated like what? You're just being like, that's ridiculous.

What's ridiculous? Are you calling me a dumb idiot? Oh, this shit. What's wrong with you? Every day. You just got to push it and push it. What's wrong with just accepting something for once rather've just got to push it and push it. What's wrong with just accepting something for once rather than pushing it back?

And you too, Brooklyn. I don't even have a problem with you. I don't even know why you're arguing. I'm mainly talking to Brooklyn. But you have to jump on everyone's defensive side. Everyone except for me, of course. Standard. That's not true. I often defend you. Here we go, fighting back again.

Okay, I'll just shut up. I'm just going to shut up. Oh, no. Well, that's not good. That's not what I'm after. Well, I can defend you. Here we go, fighting back again. Okay, I'll just shut up. I'm just going to shut up. Oh, no, well, that's not good. That's not what I'm after. Well, I can't talk. I mean, I'm just talking to you. I'm not actually fighting back. I'm having a conversation with you. Okay, well, from my point of view,

it feels like you're defending Brooklyn and fighting back on everything anyone says. But apologies to you if that's not the way it is. Okay, and I accept that if that's how you feel. I still love you so much. So what? I love coming in here. But apologies to you if that's not the way it is. Okay, and I accept that if that's how you feel. I still love you so much. So what? I love coming in here. I love seeing you.

I love having fights with you. Oh, he's singing for his job now. You love having fights with me. Well, it is fun. Not at the time, but later you can laugh. Yeah, I don't care either. I just say what I think. Every now and then it'd be nice when someone says,

okay. Yeah, I get what you're saying. Every now and then. I know what you mean. Like being on your side. Not on my side. Just not fighting back for the sake of it. Dear God.

Oh, my God. Tag yourself. I'm Kyle. Yeah. Really? I have a petty gripe. And if everyone doesn't treat it with as much seriousness as I feel it deserves, oh, I get even more mad.

Even though in the grand scheme of things, doesn't really fucking matter, really. Jenna is Brooklyn. Just sitting in the corner. Fucking smartass and then grovels hardcore at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Really needs to make up. Spurs the pot and then goes, I love you.

I always have loved you. That's me. And you're Jackie. I just won't say anything. I can't do anything wrong. I'll have loved you. That's me. And you're Jackie. I just won't say anything. I can't do anything wrong. I'll just shut up. A multi-million dollar, powerful woman. Oh, I love you guys.

We really are. Wow. Is this this week's There's Been Tension? Anything you want to say? Do you want to do laundry on the podcast? No. Okay. My laundry's clean. Me too.

It's dry. It's all good. That's so funny. Oh, God. And then, by the way, they were just fine for the rest of the day. We do that very well, even if there's a fight to do. If we have a fight and then we have a show to do, we'll just power through. We're professionals.

It's because we're always roasting each other and we can never tell when they're being serious. And so sometimes it's like, oh, fuck. Okay, they're actually trying to make a point yeah all right i'll drop the act what do you want to say it's like yeah you can never tell who the lines really are even with your brand of you know dry roasting the two of us and then sometimes we'll be laughing and who don't know that was serious you're fucking gross What? I'm done. Don't confuse me. Gaslight. Play the gaslighter sting. Put it in post.

There it is. Nice. Thank fuck we can't do sound effects this week. I feel like... Oh, I can make it happen. Would you like me to? No. Who's that? We're getting tweets.

Coming in. Left, right and centre. Look how these mics... I wish you guys could see these mics we're using. They feel like the Drew Carey Price is Right mics. Yeah, it's like they're really long and slender. Yeah. Come on down, Jenna from Wombinality.

In the price case today. I love that you know the theme song. It just comes from 40 years of watching it. Yes. Hold on a second. You know what I've just realised, guys? We're sitting outside at my desk, which is where I work

and prepare my night show, right? And part of preparation for my night show is being able to control the sound effects. I can feel it! Oh, God. Live tweets. Activate.

Who is it? Let me flick the switch. Hold on. Hey! Who is it? Very good. We nailed it. So who?

Mitchell, for the first time in my life, I'm playing along. I've said twice, who is it? Oh, I couldn't hear you. Sorry. No, fuck it. I'm not playing along. No, no, no, no, no, no. Who tweeted? Dua Lipa. Hey, it's Dua Lipa, and I'm hanging hear you. Sorry. No, fuck it. I'm not playing along. No, no, no, no, no, no. Who tweeted?

Dua Lipa. Hey, it's Dua Lipa and I'm hanging with Mitch till midnight. Yeah, you are, girl. That's my girl. Let me guess, the next one's Alicia Keys. Don't be daft. What's going on? This is Alicia. I'm hanging out with Mitch till midnight. Yeah. Don't ask them to say any

other words because they're tired. They can only say that because they're tired. What you need to do, though, is bring some new sound effects that take me by surprise. It only makes me more irritated when you play the same fucking one every week. What's going on? It's Alicia.

Shut your face. I used to prepare. Spare me, you bitch. Very true. Here's some homework. Write this in your diary. Yep. Bring at least one, this absurd as fuck sound effect next week. you bitch. Very true. Here's some homework. Yeah. Write this in your diary. Yep. Bring some

at least one this absurd as fuck sound effect next week. Yep. To take us all by surprise. Oh and shock you guys. Yes.

And for all I know it could be funny and I might laugh it's just because I've heard them all before. Very true. Okay. See you doer.

Who are you calling now? Oh no she hung up that was doer because the UK you've got, no, she hung up. That was Dua. Because the UK, you've got to dial backwards. Hang up. You're no good at this. It says, it says hang up. Listen, ready?

Oh, that's it. Fuck, I pressed the wrong one. Dialing. I wish you guys could hear this. Anyway. Oh, we just got a LinkedIn notification Guess who it is Who? It's Bob Hawke

What? Isn't he dead? Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke Isn't he dead? He died this year Hawkey? Yes He's barfed Yeah What? Isn't he dead? Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke. Isn't he dead? He died this year. Hawkey? Yes.

He's barfed. Beers for Bob. Yeah. Beers. Was that that Bob? Yeah. I was having beers for some other fucking Bob that I thought carked. No.

Bob Fitzsimmons? Bob the Builder. He died. Workplace tragedy. It was awful. They had to shut down the project for a month. Put his head through a gyprock wall. Isn't the voice of Bob the Builder dying?

Scoot, Muck and Dizzy are still in counselling. Dizzy accidentally completely just dumped a load of concrete on him. Dizzy, no! PTSD. Scoot. It's awful. And then what was the girlfriend? Oh, Muck.

Killed himself. No. Oh, Mark killed himself. No. 13, 11, 14. 13, 11, 14 is the number. Goodness me, we really need to stop that. Well, I think we should somehow work out how to live stream Among Us, because I think we'd all have a lot of fun. What?

Among Us, not Among Us. Oh. I think it'd be fun. No more sound effects. Anyway, it is effects. Anyway, it is Halloween. Mitch, you didn't even realise we're going to the same party. How could you not realise that? I just didn't think you were that important in your life. What do you mean? It was a group Facebook invite.

It wasn't like a text scenario. There's a Facebook group that everyone's been posting on all week. Yeah, but it was like a close circle. This is Aislinn from Schoening Committee, by the way, we're talking about. Yeah. Well, I have two. I'm going to be at that party very late because we've got one of Hayden's Like her close circle. This is Aislinn from Schmitty Committee, by the way, we're talking about. Yeah. Oh. Well, I have two. I'm going to be at that party very late because we've got one of Hayden's Halloween parties.

Oh. So I'll probably never turn up. Yeah, I was going to say, I won't see you. No, I won't see you tomorrow. You always, you'll never learn. The older you get, you've got to realise you can't commit to two parties in one night. I know. Because you're like, oh, we've just got to make an appearance at this one. And then you get there and you sit down and you're like, oh, fuck.

What about our launch party? Oh, I haven't forgotten. Don't bring it up. It was his idea too. Let's have drinks at your place to celebrate the podcast launching. I was like, no. Did you not show up? No, I showed up.

To your own launch party? I showed up. I left after an hour. No, what happened was I didn't want to do it. I was like, no, I can't be bothered. I don't want to socialise. I don't want to have a thing for it. And he goes, no, let's do it.

I was like, fine, I'll have drinks at my place. And I invited a bunch of my friends and then Mitchell turned up for like half an hour. And he goes, anyway, so we'll be back. And I was like, where the fuck are you going? And he goes, I forgot that it's Hayden's mum's fourth birthday this year. No, no, no, no. And so they fucked off. And then all my guests arrived with gifts of congratulations.

Oh, no. Saying I brought two bottles of wine. One for Mitch, one for the other Mitch. Where is he? I was like, he's not at his own party. Yeah. I was like, I didn't even want to do this. He left before the guests arrived.

It's like making a bad PR appearance. Yeah. Yeah. And then leaving. To be fair, I was never told there were guests. And everything needs to be cleared by RGM management. You're like, let's make a thing of it. And then obviously, like I've just mentioned,

you can't commit to more than one thing in a night. And no, you did not come back. I was like, he's not coming back. So I don't think you'll come to this Halloween thing. Probably not. I probably won't even go to the first one. Let's be real. I'm not even going to leave the house. You know what? You know what I did last year, right? Because I peaked. Two years ago, I did a great Halloween costume. I went as a strawberry with needles in it. And I got that ready for a month. Oh, that's when people were sticking pins in fruit. It was a whole thing. Yes. And I went as a strawberry with needles in it.

It was ingenious. It's up on the Enduring Idiots, by the way, our secret Facebook group if you want to join. A couple of questions to get in, but you'll be fine. And I peaked and everyone, yeah, Mitch is the king. Mitch, Mitch care. Everyone's like, we want to sleep with Mitch. We want to sleep with Mitch. We love him. And three people said it.

And Mitch was one of them. He won't deny it to this day, but he said it. And I peaked last year I had a party to go to and I could not think of a costume I was so upset

from peaking the year before that I didn't go and I chucked a hissy fit and I stayed in bed and watched Schitt's Creek for a whole night that's very unlike you so that's probably

going to happen tomorrow but that is a good show if I'm not the best I'm out that's why I'm happy doing this podcast with you lot. Very funny.

We've been shushed. We've been shushed by the text. We're recording our podcast. This is what you've reduced us to. Come here on the microphone, Brayden. Are you actually recording it out here? Yeah. You shunned us out of there. Because you fucked us all.

This is all that happens. You just leave us out of there. Because you fucked us out. This is all that happens. You just leave us out in the middle of nothing. Hello. How we doing? Brayden, plug your Instagram. I don't have an Instagram. Your mum does, though.

I don't know it. We should go. I know. We should go. We're talking about the text mum's Instagram. Wow. Brayden, can you explain quickly what you have? I'll show you what it is. It's Jelly Bubs.

Your mum's? Yeah. Jesus Christ. I think it's underscore Jelly Bubs or Jelly Bubs underscore. Okay. What's happening in the studio? Well, we had to down your studio engines. So you actually might be okay to record.

Do you want to go check? We've done... He's done it now. We had to down it at 7.30. So you were off for a bit. Yeah. But then it was just for a short period of time. We're back up and running now.

I think you could be. Well, the show's done so thanks. Good. Signing off. See you, Brayden. Alright, let's go. Now, Mitch,

are you going to put it in post or... That's very loud, isn't it? Is that too grating? I don't want to make all the decisions. You decide. Put it in post. Ah, there it is.

Sounds nice. Well done, Mitch. All right, guys. Well, thanks for listening. We'll catch you back again next week. Yeah. Don't forget to join the secret Facebook group, Enduring Idiots. It's where you post behind-the-scenes footage of the show that you can't see anywhere else
