Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Hey, Marcus, grow up.
Starting point is 00:00:20 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!
Starting point is 00:00:43 Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now, here's Mitch Chooley! Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. Hello, everyone. Good morning, Mitch. Morning, Jenna. Hello. I've never been able to say that before.
Starting point is 00:00:54 We're recording in the AM for the first time ever. Oh, yeah. God, imagine if we were a regional Australian breakfast show. This is what it would feel like. Morning, guys. Morning. No, I'd feel much less well rested. I hit a roo on the way in. Sorry I'm 10 late. That would be you coming up with
Starting point is 00:01:11 all sorts of excuses as to why you couldn't be there on time. I was late today. I had to fill up my car with petrol. I apologise. Anyway, you don't normally, if you're talking podcasts, welcome to the show and radio, you don't normally do opener and then opener, but I just simply have to. Viagra update. Very early on in the show, because Jenna and I both noticed this. Mitch, you are very well dressed today. Very nice. Very, very nice. I'll just paint a picture. He's got an oversized baggy tee. And I love that.
Starting point is 00:01:35 It's a thick material too, Jenna. It's like a thick cotton. Good quality. Good quality. And it's tucked into the front of his little tighty-whity jeans. A French tuck. It's a French tuck into a billabong belt. Yes. It's almost as if you've got a date after the recording. Now, this is way too casual
Starting point is 00:01:52 for a date. I don't have a date after the recording. I was meant to, but we aren't going ahead with it. So you did get dressed up? No, no, no. No, we cancelled like a few days ago. Okay, I'm sorry to bring that up. I thought maybe, because you're wearing thongs as well, maybe a walk on the beach.
Starting point is 00:02:08 A walk on the beach day. That could be nice. It's just new clothes. You've never seen me in this before. You look lovely. Does that mean the Viagra got a spin? No, nothing's happened. Have you used it? No. Really? I told you I'd tell you when it gets a whirl. Just for context for new listeners, I have been given Viagra in case I have
Starting point is 00:02:23 any performance issues in the bedroom because my antidepressants that I've started taking apparently cause issues in that area. His dick's broken. His dick's broken. Yeah, his dick's not broken. He can't come. It's a hard thing to talk about. I can.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Thank you very much. I feel like you've really misinterpreted this whole thing. No, no, no, no. And I'm sorry. I should have given you foreskin. Foreword. I thought we were doing this. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:02:42 No, no updates to report. Good. No updates to report. Which is interesting, Jenna, because Mitch and I were at a party together on the weekend. I haven't even had a chance to tell you about this. Oh, wow. We were at a party together. It was a great night.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Then towards the end of the night, I go, I'm going to leave. I ghosted, of course. Didn't tell anyone I was leaving. But I thought, I might tell Mitch, my closest pal. I see him over in the corner with a very handsome fellow. About six foot three. Sort of a Trojan horse looking man. In the corner of what looked to be a balcony, very cold too.
Starting point is 00:03:07 So you'd only be out on the balcony if there were maybe, you know, a chance of procuring some sort of fun. Definitely chemistry there. I see Mitch kissing this horse Trojan man. Oh, my God. Arms wrapped around the waist. He was right royally. That's all it was, just so you know.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Really? Yes. So I thought potentially maybe, you know, you'd go on out of your back pocket, you popped it in and said, give me three to four hours and then we can do this. Funnily enough, I don't carry the Viagra with me just in case. It's something that I would only take if I was quite certain that that was going to happen or it would be required. I don't just carry it around with me just in case, you know, when I go to a friend's birthday. I don't just carry the pills with me.
Starting point is 00:03:44 It was a very gay-centric birthday. There were only two straight women there and I'm still not sure that they were, you know, when I go to a friend's birthday, I don't just carry the pills with me. It was a very gay-centric birthday. There were only two straight women there, and I'm still not sure that they were, you know, straight. I really thought you were going to do the deed. No, and also I was, it was, you know, that point of drunk where you're just like, oh, God. Like, if I lie down, I will just fall asleep. Like, there was no way I would have, like, Viagra or not,
Starting point is 00:04:03 there's no way I was, you I was in a state to perform. I was pretty munted from memory. Yeah, you and I were on a koala bed at some point. Remember that? We were trying to hack into a MacBook. It was a very odd night. It was just a party, Pash Mitchell. I'm sorry, nothing to report.
Starting point is 00:04:16 No Viagra update. I'll have to check in next week. That's a shame. I really don't think anything's going to happen in the next seven days. I don't know. Maybe we should start carrying them around. I have high hopes. Anyway, we're also going to happen in the next seven days. I don't know. Maybe we should start carrying them around. I have high hopes. Anyway, we're also going to be delving into the personal life.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Actually, the personal junk of Jenna later in the show. Jenna's junk is back! Oh, yes. This is where we rummage through Jenna's junk, you know. It's filled to the brim this week. Is it really? Yes. It's been one of those weeks.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Overflowing almost. God. I can almost see it from here, to be honest. No, there's so much in there. There's a lot coming out. This is one of my favourite segments, though. It's all our shit almost. God. I can almost see it from here, to be honest. No, there's so much in there. There's a lot coming out. This is one of my favourite segments, though. It's all our shit ideas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Mitch and I go, no, that's no good. We're not going to bring that up on the show. And then Jenna just kind of brings them back, fetches them out of her junk. She does. And if it is your first time listening, is it just me? The idjams, as we like to say, are something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. It's just a springboard. It's a little topic.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. We're both as shocked as you are. Are we all ready to go? Have we had a good week? This is the first time we're sort of seeing each other, especially on a weekend. I feel like I'm in Queensland. It's weird, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:05:13 I could go either way right now because it's like 11am. Yeah. And I could either, because I've got so much left of the day, I could either be really accomplished and get heaps done or I could crack open the beer fridge at work right now. Yeah, I have a key. I thought it was open. No, they lock it at five o'clock now, COVID times.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Yeah, they lock it. I did spot some just cider sitting in the fridge. Do you reckon they belong to anyone? There are some room temperature ones too over there. No, in the fridge though. Oh, go take them. I have one. I think there was only two.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Jenna, will you have one? Oh, no, I'm fine. Do you want to go get it? Quickly. Is that all right? Yeah, go get it. Quick. Do it. Quickly. All right, I'll play was only two. Jenna, will you have one? No, I'm fine. Do you want to go get it? Quickly. Is that all right? Yeah, go get it. Quick. Do it.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Quickly. All right, I'll play the running music. She's going to get it. God, he looks good. Look at his butt. He looks great. He really does. The thongs, though.
Starting point is 00:05:55 No, I think something's happening. Something's happening. And let me tell you, at this party, there were hands missing. Oh, my God. And he had two of them, so he wasn't an amputee. It was in somewhere, I think. Oh, no, something happened. I think something happened.
Starting point is 00:06:09 He's keeping it a secret. Because he messaged me, too. Let me go back to the messages quick. Yeah, please. He's only going to get drinks. It'll be quick. Quick, quick, quick. Which comes.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Hi. Thanks. Nice little apple sides. Be really careful with that near the buttons, won't you? No, I will. Now, every time you leave the room, I'm sorry, but. Viagra updates. Did you go and just. No. Oh, my God, you are obsessed. I just thought I'd check. I just, we have to play the music every time I will. Now, every time you leave the room, I'm sorry, but... Viagra updates. Did you go and just...
Starting point is 00:06:25 No! Oh, you are obsessed! I just thought I'd check. I just have to play the music every time I ask. I'm going to start prying into yours and Hayden's gay sex life. Jenna, maybe we could come up with an idea. Oh, she won't help me with an idea. No.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I'm too busy. Yeah, you're on your own with that one. All right, who's going first? Also, we say partner. Please keep it ambiguous. You can go first. You sure? I always say that. I'll go first. I don't give a shit. You do what you want. You can go first. You sure? I always say that.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I'll go first. I don't give a shit. You do what you want. I'll go first. On my show. Not yours, Jenna. Ever. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:06:52 We'll see. Let's go. Is it just me or? A red carpet event's just exhausting. Oh, God, you're so relatable. No, no. No, let me rephrasease you could never accuse you of being out of touch could you mitchell it's my job they're exhausting they're so tough and also
Starting point is 00:07:12 it's not your job mr in and out of la don't act like this is a normal part of your work day pre covid it was i was going to three a week it is bullshit three a week i dare movie premieres brie larson stuff was there. No. It was. Anyway, what are you trying to say? Okay, let me rephrase. Is it just me or what does black tie even mean?
Starting point is 00:07:35 Okay, there you go. You've broadened it out. There, that's better. For any formal occasion. Any formal occasion, yeah. I guess the red carpet was very Ian, wasn't it? You think? I don't think Lisa in Tristleton is going, yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:07:46 They suck. The red carpet for the local Stapleton's butcher was brilliant. So black tie, is that a wedding where you're meant to be super formal? Yeah. Or even more so? Yeah, black tie is like a wedding. Even a funeral's not a black tie. A ball, an event, a formal red carpet, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I'm not a fan. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I actually enjoy getting dressed up, but the theme is so up in the air. What does black tie even mean? I don't own a black tie. Do you have to literally be wearing a black tie? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Jenna, Google it for God's sake. Yeah, the origins of black tie. I just know that every time I think of a formal event, I just go, oh, God. I just know that I'm going to spend all night feeling uncomfortable. Yeah. Because they're just not, like, maybe I should start getting tailor-made shit for this curvaceous bod. Because they just, it's always tight. And, like, it's always, I've always got blisters on my fucking feet from shoes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:39 It's just never a good time when I'm in formals. Yeah. You know what? I enjoy it because everything's sort of, like, sucked inwards. Like, everything is really tightened in. Because I'm quite loosey-goose. I'm informal. Yeah. You know what? I enjoy it because everything's sort of like sucked inwards. Like everything is really tightened in because I'm quite loosey-goosey. I hate that. No, I like it. I like feeling cinched because it keeps everything in place.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Okay, here we go. Okay. Black tie is a semi-formal Western dress code for evening events. Yes. Originating in British and American conventions for attire in the 19th century. I can confirm that. in British and American conventions for attire in the 19th century. I can confirm that.
Starting point is 00:09:08 In British English, the dress code is often referred to by its principal element for men, the dinner suit or dinner jacket. Yes, okay. So fancy. Fancy stuff for a night event. Fancy, yes. Well, the reason I ask is because I've got an event. I've booked a gig. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:09:20 It's for like an award ceremony. I'm hosting a three-hour live program before and I need a suit and I'm looking to get one. What's this for? Sorry, is there a reason you're being vague and saying an award ceremony? Well, I can't really. I'm not actually allowed to announce it. I'm actually not.
Starting point is 00:09:38 They're not letting me say it. I could probably say it. It's probably all right. Yeah. No one will hear it. It would have been better if you brought it up when you could say it and there was no embargo, but all right. He's hosting the Logies or some shit.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Me and my co-host, Burt Newton. No, I'm hosting the Aries, which is like the Australian Grammys. Is it a virtual event this year? Yeah, because it's COVID. So the whole event is broadcast? What do you say? Streamed? Telecast?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Telecast, I don't know, on Channel 9 and on YouTube. So you guys can watch it. We'll put a link on it if you want to watch and see me in. So you've got to look your sharpest. I've got to look my best. And this is a big gig. I don't know if black tie allows for quirkiness because you usually wear like a bright coloured suit, a green or a red checkered suit or something.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Yeah, I wore red check. It was like a Terry Toweling material. Yeah, it was. It was like a Maxwell Williams tea towel. I quite liked it. It was like a picnic blanket. It was like a picnic blanket. It was. It was like a t it's like a maxwell williams tea towel i quite like a picnic blanket it was like a picnic blanket yeah it really was it was nice so yes black tie is the theme just get me thing black tie and i've got no idea what to get they even sent me an email and they were like hi mitch um swarovski is the official sponsor of the event please have a look through the lookbook provided and tell me if you'd like any items
Starting point is 00:10:43 badges and brooches and necklaces galore oh Oh, badges. Crystals. I don't know what a man would do with those because like for a lady, it's easy. Bang on some earrings or a ring or something. But what are you going to put your fucking crystals? I know I have a female co-host and she's like, lovely. I'll take the emerald three inch gown necklace. I'll give it. I'll choose it. I know what looks good on you. No, let us choose it. Every time you've ignored my fashion advice, you've ended up looking shocking, so I feel like I need to take charge here. It looks lovely. Oh, it's all very feminine, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:11:12 It is very fancy. Look at these crystals. What are we going to do? No, no, please. Surely there's a necklace. Get a necklace or something. These are all very feminine. They are very feminine, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:11:23 Not that there's anything wrong with dressing femme, but you don't typically dress femme. No. What about this little rose gold hairpin? That's nice. I like that. Put that in your quiff. In the centre of my quiff.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I'm going to have to ask the team for this, the production team, and they'll go, are you sure you want the rose gold hairpin? And you say, I don't want to have to say it again. I want the rose gold hairpin. And you say, I don't want to have to say it again. I want the rose gold hairpin. Okay. I just want to get you something really absurd, just that we know you're wearing, but no one else does. Like some sort of, like, you know how people,
Starting point is 00:11:54 what are those things that brides put on the inside of their leg and they take it off at the end? Gata, a gata. Something like that where it's hidden. And then just you post in our Facebook group, the Enduring Idiots, look guys, here's proof that I've got it. My sapphire gter on my thigh. Yeah, maybe the rose gold hair clip is the way to go.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Where do I put it? In my suit jacket or something? I don't know. Is it compulsory that you wear some of this shit? Yeah, because it's sponsored by Swarovski and YouTube. Anyway, all right, thanks for helping me pick. Yeah, I don't envy you. I'm really glad that I haven't had any formal wear this year.
Starting point is 00:12:22 2020's kind of wiped that out. I usually have to go to the Logies for work, and I just hate it. Not because of the event, just because I have to dress nicely and everyone around me is looking really good, and I'm wearing this bloody shirt from YD that barely fits, and I'm like, oh, God. Yeah, I used to go to Connor, and now I don't fit Connor. Who is Connor, anyway?
Starting point is 00:12:40 Who knows? That's ridiculous. All right, you ready for your origin? Yeah, right, let's go. Connor, anyway. Who knows? That's ridiculous. All right, you ready for your origin?
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yeah, right, let's go. Is it just me, or...? Have you ever fallen for an online scam? Oh. Oh. Let me think, because I probably feel like that's in my wheelhouse. Let me think. It does sound very within your character to fall for an online scam. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Although I'm very thorough in my research for things. I'll buy something, I'll research and watch YouTube videos. Why have you fallen for one? Yes, and the most recent one is quite embarrassing because it came up on a TikTok ad, which you would assume would be safe. But I was just browsing TikTok, albeit a little bit drunk, so my brain wasn't fully switched on. And I saw this ad for gobbles
Starting point is 00:13:25 which is a type of stress ball you know i love my stress ball i was gonna say should i hit the viagra update no no need and i was like i'm gonna get me a gobble they look fun and so i ordered it it just came up on tiktok punched in my details and then a couple of months later this is like last week i was like where did the bloody gobble get to? And so I looked up the email confirmation. Yes. I clicked through the website where it says track your order. That's a good sign. And it's like, this website doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:13:52 And then I googled gobbles and the product also doesn't exist. Oh, no. And I was like, what the hell's happened? Gobbles don't exist. The website I got it from doesn't exist. Like, you go to that URL and it's just like, no, buy this domain. Like, it literally doesn't exist. They just gobb to that URL and it's just like, no, buy this domain. Like, it literally doesn't exist. They just gobbled up your money.
Starting point is 00:14:07 That's what they gobbled. And I felt like such a fool because I've been so vigilant since the last time I was scammed. Remember that bloody Lady Gaga incident? Oh, you were in America too. That was tickets. You got scalped or something, right? Yes, I was in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I already had tickets to her Vegas show. And then my friend ended up being in town by coincidence. I was like, come to the show with me. I'll find a ticket. Went on Facebook Marketplace, fell for the first scam. And I was like, all right, fool me once, shame on you. But fool me twice, shame on me. I got scammed again.
Starting point is 00:14:35 A second ticket. This person fooled me because when I messaged them, I was like, hey, are you still selling your Gaga ticket? They're like, yeah, man, my girlfriend can't go tonight. Oh my God, you work for Kyle and Jackie O? I used to live in St Mary's, which is a suburb in Sydney. Oh, I love them. I listen every day.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I miss listening, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, oh, okay, so they're not some bot, you know, just some scammer. They're legit. That's an elaborate bot, though, if it was. The first scammer had no profile picture, so I really shouldn't. That's on you. But this second one, they fooled me hook, line and sinker.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Wow. And I fell for it and I was like, oh, my God. I'm only going to go through legit things now. But no, here we are with the gobbles. How did you do it? Sorry, did you transfer their money on PayPal and then they were going to email you the tickets? Yes, they were going to give me the digital tickets and I transferred them on PayPal.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Now, here's your first clue, by the way. I transferred them on PayPal. Now, here's your first clue, by the way. If someone asks you to make it a family and friends payment instead of a goods and services payment, that makes it harder to reverse the payment. Because they don't pay tax on that, right? I don't know, actually. I just think if it's a goods and services payment, it's easier for you to cancel it on PayPal or something.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Right, right, right. But if it's family and friends, it just kind of goes through. Fortunately, I did get my mummy to ring the bank and I got all my money back. Oh, good for you. This is what I'm talking over $1,000 worth of fake Gaga tickets. No, I remember when this happened. This was tragic. I was distraught.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I ended up getting a ticket to the show, by the way. You loved it. Like an hour before the show, the actual theatre put out a tweet being like, last minute tickets. I was like, are you fucking serious? You're like, I'll need to see, correct the licensing numbers to make sure I've been scammed before. I was like, are you serious? If I'd known they were going to be releasing last minute tickets, I wouldn't have been
Starting point is 00:16:11 scammed twice all day. You're like, is it ticketech or ticketoc? I'm not picking it up wrong. Now, I have quickly Googled. Globbles exist, right? No, gobbles. Oh, gobbles. Not gobbles?
Starting point is 00:16:20 It's not gobbles. But see, Crayola, we all love Crayola, the crayons, have globals stress balls. So maybe these gobbles have tried to rip off Crayola. They must have. And they've used their photos as well. And they look so fun. I really wanted to play with a bloody gobble. Do they stick on the wall?
Starting point is 00:16:35 Those people are throwing them on the wall. Yeah. Yeah, I know. That's why I wanted to get one, add it to my collection. Oh, God, actually. I feel like I have enough, though. Speaking of, have you seen his collection yet? Oh, there's a lot there.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Mitch and I sit like two metres apart at work and then I'll be typing away trying to schedule my music for my show at night and all I hear is... What is that? It's like something's pumping up an air mattress and it's Mitch squeezing the life out of some squishy unicorn. It's a fantasy catacomb squishy, thank you very much. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Can you tell, I don't think people know this about you, but you have an addiction to, what, plushies and squishy toys? Oh, I've spoken about, I am a big fan of stress balls, but fuck, it's intensified. I've started collecting little characters. Instead of just a coloured ball that you use for medical purposes, they've got faces and shit. Do you have them here in your backpack, right?
Starting point is 00:17:26 No, they're in my desk. Hold on. Go get them. They're called squishies. I've got them in a show bag. Fishies! Squishies. Squishies.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Sorry, squishies. Please hit fishies. Every time someone opens the door, guys, I've connected a sensor. Yeah. So when the door opens and closes, it starts this music. I don't even do it. It's just automatic. Squishies. Squishies. Poor idiot getting full. Oh, I know. I mean, don't buy anything off T it starts this music. I don't even do it. It's just automatic. Squishies.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Squishies. Poor idiot getting full. Oh, I know. I mean, don't buy anything off Ticko's back. Just don't. I've actually. Oh, he's got a show bag. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Show bag. So silly. I got this at a market in Wagga Wagga of all places. I was like, what are they? Oh, what? Can I have, can I not have one? I don't want to, you know. Here, I'll pass you one.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I've only unwrapped a couple. Look, I've got. Can I have. I've got all these ones in the box in the bag oh my god these are all my my squishy still in the wrappers i've got 10 i think look at them all i'm gonna sound insane right now but the squishy community is very alive like there are so many different variants of squishies you can get you'd love them there's like burger squishies french fry squishies there's so many different ones but I've got these fantasy ones,
Starting point is 00:18:26 like a little dolphin. Oh. Aren't they cute? This one's a bit like sweet fairy floss. Let's swap, Jen, and take the, what's this called again? A boonicorn. That one's the unicorn. She's got the fantasy catacorn squishies.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Sorry, the fantasy catacorn. What's happened to its eyes? I've had a rough week. You idiot You've stress squeezed its eyes off Yeah Mitch They're not very expensive looking are they?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Like the paint comes off Yeah the paint does come off The unicorn still has its horn This is very close from going to a catacorn to just a cat Its horn is hanging on by a thread Oh no, not the catacorn Can I just say Mitch No wonder you need a fucking Tinderomb to just a cat. Its horn is hanging on by a thread. Oh, no. Not the catacomb. Can I just say, Mitch, no wonder you need a fucking Tinder sponsorship to get you bloody someone.
Starting point is 00:19:10 You walk into your house, you think it's a bloody toy mart. Oh, yeah. No, I keep them at work. A squishy museum. Yeah. Literally. I love them. They're so great.
Starting point is 00:19:20 You're probably on some watch list somewhere, the amount of kids' toys you're buying online. I'll unwrap one so that you can... Oh, unwrapping! Unboxing, I think, is the official term, right? All right, which one do you want? Read the names out. Read the names out.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Are there names? I don't think they're names, but they're like... This is the... That's a cloud. That's another unicorn. No, I'm over that. That's a rainbow. That one's a shooting star. And this one's a whale. Well, I'm over that. That's a rainbow. That one's a shooting star.
Starting point is 00:19:46 And this one's a whale. Well, I think the whale's appropriate. Here you go. Thanks. You're not keeping it, though. Wow. It says collect them all, and I thought, all right, I will. Yeah, very true.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Hold on. I'm going to just set the scene as if we're at the Easter show. Here we go. So we're at the Easter show. Kids are always coughing. Can I have a Dagwood dub? Shut up, Tim. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Fantasy squishy. Perfumed anti-stress figure. Slow rise. Squeeze me. That's what you said to that guy at the party on the weekend. Hello! It's a real slow rise. Just squeeze me.
Starting point is 00:20:20 We'll see what happens. Oh, the scent is extra strong when they're fresh out of the packet. The crowd died off. That's because the Easter show was cancelled. Oh, the scent is extra strong when they're fresh out of the packet. The crowd died off. That's because the Easter show was cancelled. Oh, smell that, Jenna. That smells of it. It's a mix between strawberry and petroleum. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:33 So it's kind of like if you're one of those people that kind of shakes your leg because you're like ADD or anxious or whatever, or maybe you bite your nails or you just have trouble sitting still. It's one of those things where it's just kind of – they're on par with a fidget spinner, right? Yes. It's just something to kind of keep you stimulated and whatever. And for me, it's two birds with one stone.
Starting point is 00:20:52 It improves the hand strength after the injury. If we're talking things that keep you stimulated, it's stress balls and Viagra. Yeah. Well, I haven't taken Viagra, so I wouldn't know. I feel like I need to keep fucking reminding you of this. It's so funny, though. If you look up squishies and stress balls and stuff online they're always the
Starting point is 00:21:07 most random combination of things it's like the cat burger squishy so it's like a burger but the buns are a cat's head or it's like the panda cake squishy and it's like a cake made out of a panda and i'm like how do they come up with these random combinations of objects dog pizza squishy yeah literally stuff shit like that like someone cooked was coming up with this stuff. Hey bro, let's combine a dog and a pizza and make it a piece of foam that people can squish. Dude, everyone
Starting point is 00:21:33 loves babies, right? And we love heroin. Do you do the baby heroin squishy? Yeah, man! Mock it up! We'll 3D print it! I'll find some, hold on. Alright, well, so what are we going to do? What's the plan from here? I want to do squishy Ijem merch
Starting point is 00:21:50 Oh, I don't know, that's actually a good idea We could do, we've been looking into getting merch That's a fun one So we could do, you know, you've got the catacorn You could do the, what does Jenna love? The Jenna knife So it's a knife I want a Jenna knife Like So it's a knife.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I want a Jenna knife. Like a kitchen blade. Yes. With your eyes and your mouth on it. Yes. Maybe a ponytail. Yes. Then Mitch would obviously be the Mitch pill. It'd be a giant Viagra pill.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Of course. And that'd be easy to make because it's an easy little pill shape. Then what would I be, Mitch? Oh. What if we get like a yellow stress ball and it's got a little lunch box on it and it says psychiatric recess? That is beautiful. That's very us. I love it.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm sold. That is good. I've just been having a browse of the other combinations of things. They're so fucking weird. Read some out. Who comes up with these? There's a cactus bear squishy. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:22:39 It's a bear, but its texture is a cactus. There's a fish macaron squishy. Delicious. Or macaroon. Is it macaroon? I don't know. It depends on what region. Monkey cupcake squishy. Like cactus. There's a fish macaron squishy. Delicious. Or macaroon. Is it macaroon? Yeah, it depends on what region. Monkey cupcake squishy. Like, who thinks of this shit?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Jesus. Genius. Thanks for show and tell, Mitchell. Yay. Is it just me? Number three on the Israeli-Australian podcast charts. Yeah, that was Toni Lodge there. We had her on last week as a guest host,
Starting point is 00:23:07 and she's actually inspired you, Mitchell. Yeah. To start giving shit away to our listeners, right? Well, I, you know, giveaways are in my blood. I do it every night, weeknights from nine on the Kiss Network. So I thought we might as well bring it to the podcast, bring it to the cloud. Toni gives on One Trick Toni, her podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:23 She gives away, is it a mini Mars bar? Yes, to everyone that leaves a review and we read it out on the podcast. So we thought, let's do the same. Well, we're doing it anyway and people leave reviews without being bribed. Imagine how many more we're going to get now that we start bribing people. Have you had a look at the level of reviews we've had since bribing people? No, I haven't. I forgot how incentive driven humans were.
Starting point is 00:23:43 All of a sudden people are, love this podcast, have loved it since day dot. Oh, God. How are we going to choose the ones to read out? I've already picked them. Oh, okay. I feel bad. I'm going to have to look at all the others too. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Because I appreciate them all. We do. You know what? This actually keeps us going. This gets us up on the charts. It keeps us inspired. We're getting it. There's an extra one star, which I'm not happy about.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Now, what is the prize here, Mitch? What did you say you were going to do? You were going to send them? Because I want nothing to do with it. No, I'm not happy about. Now, what is the prize here, Mitch? What did you say you were going to do? You were going to send them? Because I want nothing to do with this. No, I'm involved. Mitch wants me to take a leading part in doing this, and I will. We're giving them away one of ten Idjim mugs. Is that correct?
Starting point is 00:24:14 I don't think there's ten, but whatever. However many left. We've got mugs to send out, and then after we've run out of those, we've also got Red Rooster vouchers. Yes, so you'll be getting something. This is an interesting review by, let me get this right, Gerard Meme. Gerard Meme says, I'm an aspiring educator. That's the title.
Starting point is 00:24:33 This podcast is a fantastic tool to use in the classroom. The team provides insights into issues that are dividing society and draw on educated conclusions to provide further insights into the topic. The back and forth between conversation brings a natural element to the show, resulting in a podcast of the highest standard. Fellow educators, I suggest you do not engage in sorry tunnel when calling professionals, as your employer may refer to this act as unprofessional. However, I believe that it's a great way to form positive relationships with parents.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Keep up the fantastic work. Looking forward to next week's surprising idjams. How nice is that? All right, there you go. You've got the mug. Congratulations. The first ever mug. That's exciting. Should I do another one?ams. How nice is that? All right, there you go. You've got the mug. Congratulations. The first ever mug. That's exciting.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Should I do another one? Yeah. How does this shit work? Are they just going to have to message you and say, yeah, that was me? Yeah, so if that's you listening now, DM the couple Mitch's page or you can DM me or Mitch. We'll find you.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Maybe from now on, just when you guys leave a review, if you're hoping that it'll get read out, just sign off with your Instagram handle at the end. Or just DM me and I will sort of do not DM Mitchell. He wants no part in this. And you know what? I'm a simple man. I don't need to, you know, write the bloody manifesto of, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:33 early Europe to get read out. Diana with two N's says, can I have a mug, please? Diana, of course you can. Did she seriously say that? Yeah, she says, can I have a mug, please? No, that's not how it works. She gave us. You have to say something nice.
Starting point is 00:25:45 That's just going to spam our reviews. Five stars. Five stars. Hey. Yeah, but I feel like you guys don't get the purpose of a review. It's for outside visitors who are browsing the podcast app. They look and see whether it's worth listening to. If they see that, that's no incentive for them to listen.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Really? Yes. Take her fucking mug back. No, you've done it now. You have to give it to her. Oh, poor Diane. She's got it again. One fucking mug back. No, you've done it now. You have to give it to her. Oh, poor Diane. She's got it again.
Starting point is 00:26:08 One more mug left. Guys, we have a lot. I'm going to go here. Natina Mum. This is from Natina Mum. It's very nice. I wonder if she's got kids. Absolutely love these guys.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Always gives me a good laugh when I'm needing it. If my son comes home with friends like these boys, I will be a happy mum. They are so lovely, even when they're being inappropriate. Look forward to many years of laughs from them. Only downside is they only do one episode a week. Love yours, Natina. And I'm a girl. Yeah, that's that. Sorry, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:26:40 People love to talk about you, but I can't because we're done. We've given out three mugs. Well done to today's mug nights. Leave a review now. Five stars. Write whatever you like to get a shout out on the cloud and the pod. Can I tell you, all this comparing ourselves to Tony's podcast that we've done, I think
Starting point is 00:26:55 it might have made Jenna a bit guilty because you know how we kept pointing out how youthful Tony's producer Mason is compared to her. Jenna does not score for us. We got a calendar invite for the podcast. We did. He's very organised and is very helpful to her, unlike Jenna. But, oh, my God, she must have been inspired because you wouldn't believe,
Starting point is 00:27:14 I was floored. She came to me with an idea. Yes. 48 episodes later and this is her first idea. Jenna brought an idea? And I printed things as well. Oh, I don't know about this. So this can be something else that we add to the prize cupboard.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Okay. Yes. Oh, wow. It's pretty good. So I printed them. I'm going to explain it first. So you approached Mitch with this idea this week? Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Okay. And then I designed some prototypes as well. Yep. How long have you been thinking about this idea for? Not that long. Okay. Maybe a week. So it came to you and you thought, I'm taking this straight to one idea for? Not that long. Okay. Maybe a week. So it came to you and you thought,
Starting point is 00:27:46 I'm taking this straight to one of the Mitches. Yes. Okay. Yes. It's a merch idea. Right. Because we're in the middle of making our merch for our show, which is coming soon.
Starting point is 00:27:55 We'll get there. It is the Is It Just Me rash shirt. So that's the first one. She's done a mock-up. Pass it over. Can I hold it? So Jenna's made mock-ups. Of an Is It Just Me rash vest.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Yes. A swimming top. I've designed seven different types. Do we have the time? The first one is simple. Second design is Joseph and Mary looking over Is It Just Me as Jesus. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Next one. Okay. Yeah, that was just... You're covering baby Jesus' head with the podcast logo. That's blasphemy. Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about that one. Okay, move on. Next one. Well... So far, this is my favourite. Next one is the Titanic
Starting point is 00:28:36 crashing into an iceberg, which is the Is It Just Me logo. Here we go. I'll go this way now. So our logo is the iceberg that sunk the HMAS Titanic. I didn't realise how far she'd gone after I greenlit this. I've not seen any of these. Mitch, why did you give her the AOK?
Starting point is 00:28:52 Why wouldn't I? You shouldn't have gotten this far. No, we're going to get these done. This is like, you know, a shark tank. When there's a shit idea, they nip it straight in the butt. This is a great idea. You don't invest. Great.
Starting point is 00:29:01 It's been 48 episodes. She's never pitched anything. Far be it for me to shoot down the first idea she comes up with. If the Cancer Council wants to invest in this, then we're open to ideas. I don't think they're listening. Yes, they are. The Titanic takes up a lot of the rash real estate, doesn't it? It's a big artwork.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Next one is inspiration from a big fan of ours. Helen Keller's favourite podcast. It's Helen Keller. in a past life i was helen keller um now we're getting into to the individual ones oh oh no um oh no not yet first of all my best friends oh my god that one's just a nice one to add so that's you know me you and mitchell yes just a nice one because i thought know, it's a bit dark at the moment, so just a nice thing.
Starting point is 00:29:46 COVID times. The graphic design is going to need some work. No. Who do you think is the demographic for this? Our fans. Okay. All right. I'm keeping an open mind.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Yes. Next one for fans of Mitch Turek. Oh, many of them. Mitch Nation, yeah. Yeah. They'll love this. Okay. It's Mitch Turek. Mitch Turek. Oh, that looks more like Mitch Nation, yeah. Yeah. They'll love this. Okay. It's Mitch Turing.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Oh, that looks more like Al from Toy Story 2 to me, actually. It is Al from Toy Story. Give me the muck up. Let's pass it around. Ridiculous. Already said no to that one. Excuse me. That one's been vetoed.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Sorry, Jenna. That costs 60 cents to print. I'd almost rather print the Titanic on a rash shirt than that. What do you mean it cost 60 cents to print? Did you go to the library? Yeah, I did. Yeah, what did you drop off at Officeworks on the way here? No, I went to the library. Do they still exist? Yes. Really? It was open for an hour. Did you have a membership card?
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. I got one especially for this. Next one. For fans of Mitchell Coombs. Plenty of them. Straight out of Bogan Gate. Jenna, now you're just taking the piss. I like that one. I want this one. That's my top.
Starting point is 00:30:53 That's good. It's Mitchell Coombs, the psychic from Channel 7. He looks nothing like me. That's the exact photo I tried to send to the Bridge Badoon Advocate. A beautiful one. I like it. Last one. It's not done.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Where's mine? I found it. You know what? I was thinking that. Yep. Yep. This is me. What have you got?
Starting point is 00:31:15 Banning at the stake in 1420. That's a real. That's the Salem Witch Trials, isn't it? I think that should be our hero piece. Fuck the other six. We're just selling that rush. I think it's a real... That's the Salem Witch Trials, isn't it? I think that should be our hero piece. Fuck the other six. We're just selling that rash fest. I think it's a beautiful rash fest. Oh, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:31:30 That is my favourite, personally, but I like all of them equally. I think you should put them all in our Facebook group and people can vote which Jenna rash fest they would like to buy. Jesus, all right. I do rate that one. Me too. I think we're going to have to wait another 48 episodes for her next idea but hey
Starting point is 00:31:45 we'll get there thank you jenna oh yeah oh i've got something else to add why don't you save it for another week no no no no i'm really excited about this please what's gotten into her she really we should we should compare her to competent producers more often we should okay so you know we always like sweepers for the podcast. Sure. Sweepers are those sound effects that play in between the segments, yes. So I got a celebrity to do one for ours. I went out of my way. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:32:12 You have zero contact with any celebrity. You've done nothing this whole podcast and now you've done all this shit. What is going on? Yes, I'm just opening my voice memos. I did get a celebrity. It's kind of not. It would have been better if you sent it to me. You should have emailed it to me and I could have put it in the system.
Starting point is 00:32:26 No, no, no. This is fine. This is fine. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah. Hold it up to the microphone. You know how that works. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Okay, here we go. Jonesy, do you want to do a sweeper for my podcast? Yeah, what else can I do? Do you want to go? Of course. What about? What's the sweeper for my podcast? Yeah, what else can I do? Do you want to go? Of course. What about? What's your sweeper going to be? Let's do something good where it's just me.
Starting point is 00:32:54 You're listening to Is It Just Me with Jenna Benson. Is it where your podcast is called Just Me? Yeah. I've heard I've seen that. Is It Just Me? Yeah, yeah. Do you want to say hi, podcast pals? Yeah, you can say that.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Hello, podcast pals. It's Jonesy. Jonesy, you know me. It's like Prince, just Jonesy. You're listening to Jenna Benson on Just Me. It's just me. Not me, Jenna. Benson, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Yes. So, yeah, feel free to use that. I'm sorry about the background noise. It was Jonesy's fish pond. So, yes, feel free to use that. I'm sorry about the background noise. It was Jonesy's fish pond. So, yes. He's Jonesy. You know, Jonesy and Amanda. Oh, Amanda Keller.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Oh, we love her. That would have been a great sweeper. That man she works with. That person with a dick that she's on with. Brendan. Brendan Jonesy Jones. No, I know them both. Look, I don't want to shit can your first producing efforts,
Starting point is 00:33:46 but you probably could have, it wouldn't have killed you to get a take two where he gets the name right and the hosts right. I know. You know, it was a busy day. It's hard. You're too nervous to tell the celebrity to rework it. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:33:58 It's hard. I'm not going to knock her. I think she's brought some stuff to the table, albeit more of a draft. An idea is an idea. Not all ideas are good. In fact, I do believe, Jenna, that you're going to have to make room in your junk for that sweeper. We're not using that.
Starting point is 00:34:12 We can't use that. No, we have to use it. We're putting it in Jenna's junk, aren't we? No, I went out of my way to do it. No, I want to use it. It's going into Jenna's junk. No. Moisturise your hands, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:34:21 We're about to dive in. Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we? Jenna's Junk is where we look back at all our rubbish segment ideas, Mitch and I. We think of things to talk about and when we think, nah, that's no good, that's not going to go anywhere, that's a bit boring, we throw it in Jenna's Junk and then she
Starting point is 00:34:38 has a little fiddle with her own junk. This is where the magic happens. They build up too because I think of quite a few a week and I go, Jenna, will this work? And we sort of work it out that it doesn't. Straighten own junk. A little fiddle here and there. This is where the magic happens. They build up too because I think of quite a few a week and I go, Jenna, will this work? And we sort of work it out that it doesn't. Straighten the junk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I don't even have to read them. It's been a while since we've done this. It's one of my favourite segments actually. People do love Jenna's junk. It's full, right? You got a lot going on? Oh, it's always full. All right, dive in, Jenna, with the first one.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Here we go. And you're ready. Yep. First junk in a while. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, this is tragic. Is it just me or do you think Chappelle Corby is innocent? That's me.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Oh, no. Hear me out. That's a big one. I'm playing devil's advocate. I feel like that's quite a meaty topic. That's not like that's boring. I couldn't go anywhere. And that's why it was cut because we're not really a current affairs podcast.
Starting point is 00:35:21 No, we've got no place commenting on that. No, we're not ABC with Mark Fennell, whatever his name is. Mark Celeron. I don't know. Some sort of fucking root. I just think you're really that dumb to fill a boogie board full of marijuana. I don't think she did the filling. I think someone else did and then she was paid to try and smuggle it.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Oh, it's the conspiracy theory. I'm pretty sure that's not a conspiracy. That's what happened. Someone did it to her? No, like someone she knows. She was... Oh, a family. She was a mule.
Starting point is 00:35:48 A mule. Yes. Oh. I'm not well versed in the case. She didn't come up with the idea herself. Oh, because then I was going to say... Where am I going to put all my drugs? It was someone else's.
Starting point is 00:35:56 She was just trying to smuggle it. I've seen where your dexamphetamines are kept. I've always wondered why I've never been pulled up at like customs for having all those drugs on me because I don't am I meant to carry a prescription though no if you travel if you travel yeah if you travel I've never done that thank god I've never been pulled up people normally have a pill box right with their medication no I got I got pulled up did you wear with all my antidepressants where were you I was at the international airport oh no going to. Going to LA. Yeah. In and out of LA. In and out, of course. I've been there many times.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Yeah, I've never been pulled up. And they took all my medication out of my bag and said, what's this? And I said, obviously, my medication. Yes. They're like, where's the prescription? I'm like, I didn't bring my prescription. Fuck. I'm going to the pharmacy.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Yeah. And yeah, they had to look it all up. A lot of these medications, they keep the prescription at the chemist anyway, so I don't know how you would take it. Exactly. But, you know, it has my name on it, so I don't see the problem. Why are we not doing updates to check in on how Toey Jenner is? Like, why am I the one doing all this antidepressant opening up?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Because her vagina works just fine. Yeah, but it's all about the libido as well. Jenna, how's yours? Oh, I lost that 50 years ago. That's the update. There we go. The civil rights movement. There we are.
Starting point is 00:37:08 All right, Jenna's diving back in. There we go. There we go. Oh, this one's crap. Are you, is it just me, or are you always thinking about the quality of your stool? That was me. That was me.
Starting point is 00:37:23 As in like a bar stool or a shit? No, a shit. And I chose not to go ahead with it because I'm like, that's very FM radio, isn't it, to talk about excrement. Not into it. But I just get a sense of pride when I'm like, oh, look at how much fibre you've had in your diet today. There was no, you know, mess.
Starting point is 00:37:40 You know, I'll be honest here, opening up, you know, you talk about your vagina, you talk about your broken penis. I think I'm very – I don't think I've had a hard stool in 20 years. It would have something to do with your appalling diet, I feel. I think so. If I have a pig out, like a cheat day, and I eat all this rubbish, all this sugar, whatever, that's when the next day, the deep shame comes back to me more than ever when I go,
Starting point is 00:38:04 oh, that shit's no good. I'm always thinking, I'm always forward planning what the stool's going to be like. Oh, so you're thinking about the stool before the stool's even a stool. Yes. I'm like, sometimes if I know I've eaten well, I'm like, I can't wait for tomorrow's shit. It's going to be so good.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Oh, I know what you mean. Oh, no. And I get smug about it. I'm like, that was such a healthy turd. Really? I love it. You know when you do one and you don't? There's only really like one wipe that needs to be done.
Starting point is 00:38:30 It's sort of just like a housekeeping. No, you don't really have to, but you just do it as a pleasantry. Sometimes it just comes straight out. Like you're on a water slide, it went wild. 100%. Like a kid coming out of the- But even then, less wet. Yeah, less wet.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Yeah. Yeah, I have had those, but God, the days have since passed since I've had a solid sturd. I'm telling you, it's good. It's a good sense of pride you get. I love to just go to the toilet. Isn't it a nice feeling? None of your poos. I'm not going to go in, so...
Starting point is 00:38:59 Sorry, all right. She's going back in. She's moving on. Good timing, Jenna. Good timing. Oh, God. Is it just me, or have you never actually minded the gap when getting off a train? I'll claim that.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Everyone always talks about it. Have you ever tripped? No, I've never tripped. I don't need to trip. I'm on a geriatric. Oh, but I feel like it's in your nature to be a bit clumsy. To trip at the gap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I probably have, but I've never fallen beneath the tracks. I'm always paranoid that I'm going to drop my phone or some shit down there. Yeah, down that crack. So I always mind the gap. Really? Yeah. No, I never mind the gap. I can give a shit about the gap.
Starting point is 00:39:35 The gap minds me. I wouldn't fit down that gap even if it tried. Oh, I'm not worried about falling down there, but my items. How can you fall down? My big toe wouldn't even fit in that. but the gap's not always the same size sometimes sometimes the train is like really high up and it's like quite a like yeah it's quite a big gap and it's a step down like you gotta mind the gap babe there's no you gotta mind the gap there's no gap consistency hay Hayden and I were in Chicago because I'm in and out of Chicago. The gap in Chicago is like half a metre.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Like you've almost got to hop to get into the carriage. Imagine if you hadn't minded it. I know. You would have just finally fallen to your death. I was minding it there. Oh, sorry. Mitchell's not coming back to Australia. He perished on his trip to Chicago. He didn't mind the gap.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Sorry, everyone. What a bad way to go. You know in the Simpsons movie where Homer gets caught in the dome and half of his upper body is sticking out and he's like, finger. Oh no, he's in the sand? Yes. In the sinkhole. That's exactly what it would be like. I'd just help, help.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Fat man carries now. Okay, I'm bored. Next one. More junk. Is it just me or is click frenzy shit? It's me I don't think I've ever gotten amongst that It's just terrible Every year I fall for it
Starting point is 00:40:53 Really? Click frenzy, click frenzy, click frenzy AirPods, one dollar And I'm like shit let's go on I was literally talking about online scams earlier this episode Don't fall for it But it's not a scam They must have one pair that they sell
Starting point is 00:41:06 for a dollar and then some fool gets it and then there's no more. They're out of stock. I don't even know how it works. It's like all this great stock they clearly buy three of or four of and then they say we'll sell a PlayStation 5 for $10. So everyone signs up. Oh god that cider Mitch. It's really coming back to bite
Starting point is 00:41:22 me. They say oh you know everyone signs up, gives your email address. They get so much site traffic so they can advertise and get all that money. Right. But then they only have three of these items. They've got no stock. And like an hour or 20 minutes before it actually goes on sale, they'll tell you, oh, at 3.25am, this will be available. Also, then the site will crash because there's so much traffic.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yes. You can't even get on. Have you ever successfully gotten something on there? Never, ever. And I've tried. Here, I'm on it now. Click Frenzy. Unlock extra event benefits.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Become a free member. Give us your email. I am a member. Are you a member? I've never got anything from it. So you've signed up and you've never... See? I signed up last year.
Starting point is 00:42:01 It's shit. It sounds like too much work and not much payoff. So, yeah. No good. There's no payoff. I'm with you there. What else is in the junk, Jenna? year. It's shit. It sounds like too much work and not much payoff. So, yeah, no good. There's no payoff. I'm with you there. What else is in the junk, Jenna? Here we go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Oh, yeah, this one. Is it just me or does the person who came up with soggy sayos deserve to rot in hell? Yes. No mystery as to who that was. That was me. Oh, God. That's you. I've made no secret of my feelings towards spoof on this very podcast.
Starting point is 00:42:29 You have. Whoever thought of soggy sayos deserves a bullet in my mind because that shit's revolting. If you don't know what a soggy sayo is, it's essentially... Oh, please don't. A sayo biscuit. A sayo, like the cruscet biscuit sort of thing. A cracker.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And apparently it's this revolting ritual where boys at a sleepover will gather around it. They will jack themselves off and the last person to deposit themselves on the sayo then has to eat the sayo, which has gone soggy because every other bloke in this fucked game has already deposited themselves. so it's a game of who can you know finish finish the quickest on the sayer and then the last one has to eat it and i'm like that's i'm sorry that's some gay shit yes like this is a straight man thing to do
Starting point is 00:43:18 yeah this is their idea of fun how do they jack off though in front of each other i couldn't do that never i could never who Yuck. I could never. Who thought of that? Also, I don't know about them, but I'm not exactly like, there's not like a sentiment. A guy sometimes goes up in the air. How do you aim it like that? I'm not joking.
Starting point is 00:43:34 It's true. It's not like a, you know, hose link. You don't get perfect aim. It's not a 3D printing pen. Well, thankfully I've never gotten amongst it. I always thought maybe it was like a myth, one of those urban legends. Oh, this is something that people do at sleepovers, thinking that no one ever did it.
Starting point is 00:43:49 But no, I actually know people that have done it. No way. I was just about to say that. I don't know anyone who's ever actually sold me sayers. Because I thought it was just a myth thing as well. Tell who? Do we know them? Do I know them?
Starting point is 00:43:57 No, you wouldn't know them. It was just gross guys in my high school. Oh, yuck. They're fucked. It's just, yeah, I can't believe it's a thing. That's also like some homoerotic shit. That's what I mean. Why?
Starting point is 00:44:10 Yuck. Makes me actually sick. Yeah, me too. Imagine if there was a female equivalent. Oh, yuck. What would that be? I don't know. Sit on the sayo.
Starting point is 00:44:19 I don't know, like a squirt nun or something. Oh, yuck. Okay, I'm going back in the junk. Junk, junk. No, she can't get back in. I'm trying to think. I want to go in. Please. I want to go in. It's chipped something. Oh, Jack. Okay, I'm going back into junk. Junk, junk. No, she can't get back in. I'm trying to think. I want to go in. The bin's tipped over.
Starting point is 00:44:28 No, open it. I can't open it. What about a... It's locked. Clip dip. What was that thing? A tzatziki dip, and you all have to rub your clip. Okay, let's go.
Starting point is 00:44:39 How do you measure who finished it first and last? She's back in. We don't know how that works. Oh, God. Can it get worse? Can you spare the judgments every time? They're in the junk for a reason, Jenna. We know they're bad.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Is it just me or do you never use the word turn as an adult? What? Oh, yeah. You don't say turn as an adult. You know how kids will be like, like my sister will say to my niece and nephew, now, Noah, make sure you give Anna a turn. But imagine me saying to you, like, oh, can I have a turn with the bum? Like, you don't say that shit as an adult.
Starting point is 00:45:11 No. Can I have a turn in your car? I want a turn. Always at Christmas too when there's a new toy. Can I have a turn? It's my turn. Mum said it's my turn after Lisa. Mum!
Starting point is 00:45:24 He won't share! It's my turn! said it's my turn after Lisa Mum! He won't share It's my turn Imagine that as an adult If I just in like full seriousness I accused you of not sharing with me I'm like Mitchell you're not sharing You promised And I remain trying to get my green slip
Starting point is 00:45:37 Boom boom boom nine seven three No! It's my turn! No it's my turn! It's my turn! Boom, it's my turn! It's my turn! Boom, boom, boom. B, three, nine, four. No!
Starting point is 00:45:51 It's my turn! At the deli at Coles? 67. No! Hey, listen, it's my turn. Or I say here in the office, hey, Brad, can I have a turn with your stapler? It just makes no sense in adult context.
Starting point is 00:46:07 But for kids, it's so normal. Noah, give Anna a turn. Although I think if you listen back to the top of our show every week, I think I, every week, go, whose turn is it to go first? Oh, do you? With our itchums. So maybe I've just got a child's brain. I think it's your turn.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Yeah, I do every week. Oh, yeah, you do. Grow up. What the fuck? I'm a baby. So it is just turn. Yeah, I do every week. Oh, yeah, you do. Grow up. What the fuck? I'm a baby. So it is just you. Wow. Solved.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Okay, okay, here. There's a lot in there today. This is the last one. Okay, good. Is it just me or do you believe in things that no one has ever told you or you've read? For example, sodium in instant coffee? Swallowing gum lasts 10 years. This is me.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Oh, who would have thought? This is me. Do you know what it means? Do you get it? You disbelieve dumb wives' tales like that. Yeah, but I'll say them to someone and they'll go, where the fuck did you pull that from? And I'll go, it's true.
Starting point is 00:46:57 There's so much sodium in instant coffee, you'll have a heart attack by the time you're 22. Don't eat the crust on bread, you'll get curly hair. Yes, and then I'll go, hold on a second. Who told me that? How do I know that? Or eating bubble gum will sit in your stomach for 27 years, but it's always a different amount of years. You talk to someone, they're like, don't swallow that. It'll be in your tummy for nine years. Yeah. There's no consistency. No. Like the five second rule, 20 second rule. Yeah, exactly. Three second rule. Which one is it? But who comes up with these
Starting point is 00:47:23 wives tales? I just feel like there's a lot of things that you just, yeah, you just don't question as a child and you believe them. Like even now I'm like, oh, I can't go swimming after I've eaten. I'll get a stitch and I'll die. Yes. That's not true, you know. Huh? That's not true.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Like I feel like it could be true, but like it's very low risk, I feel. Well, apparently, this is what Amanda Keller said, apparently they only said that so parents wouldn't have to watch over their children while they were finishing eating. That makes plenty of sense. Yeah, that's a very good theory, actually. There you go. I believe that.
Starting point is 00:47:53 There's no proof to it. But here I go again, believing some shit that someone told me. Here, I've got some wives' tales. Are we ready? Yeah. Okay. Old wives' tales. It's loading the Wi-Fi here.
Starting point is 00:48:02 It's terrible. Eating carrots will help you see in the dark. It'll improve your eyesight. My grandma would say that all the time. Clean your windows and mirrors with newspaper. Oh my god. I used to do that growing up. Really? I still do that, but that's not on Wives' Tale. With newspaper?
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yeah. It works. A treat. Does it really? Yeah. Interesting. An apple a day keeps the doctor off. Oh, that's tried and true. I don't know. I do have an apple a day keeps the doctor on. Oh, that's tried and true. I don't know. I do have an apple a day in my smoothie, so does that count? Yeah, that still counts. Yeah, very true.
Starting point is 00:48:31 All right. Jenna, your junk was extra, extra full today, and I appreciate it. You know, this old wives' tale, or not even an old wives' tale, I think it's a conspiracy theory, I suppose, that they were talking about on Kyle and Jackie O last week. Yeah. So can you find that song? What's it called?
Starting point is 00:48:47 It's that Phil Collins song, In the Air Tonight. Oh, yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. That one. Do-do-do. From that Cadbury commercial. Yes. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah. So apparently there's this theory that Phil Collins wrote that song because he and his friend, right, were drowning and his friend drowned, but he survived and all the while there was someone watching on but chose not to help them. So he's like, this person watched my friend drown and didn't try and save him. So what Phil Collins apparently did after writing the song
Starting point is 00:49:19 was track down the guy, invite him to the show and then just sang the song at him. Like there shone a light on him in the audience, being like, and the whole song was directed at him. So like this part. Play the lyrics. No, don't skip to the good bit. I thought that's what you wanted.
Starting point is 00:49:35 No. I said play the song. Phil Collins, here we go. So you have to listen to the lyrics. Apparently it's about someone just sitting there and watching his friend drown. And he invited that person to the show and just sang it at them. You go, babe, I can't believe we got free tickets to Phil Collins.
Starting point is 00:49:50 This is going to be the best night of our lives. How did you get them? Look how close he is to us. He's looking right at me, babe. I can feel it coming in the air tonight. All I want. I don't think the guy would have known that it was about him. No.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Despite a spotlight being on him. It's still too broad. It's not specific enough. He has to say, you fucking watch my friend drown. Oh. Oh, my. And if he was staring right at you... Oh my God. Makes sense.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Right? Oh my God. The guy's probably still sitting there unbeknownst to the fact that this song is about him. He's like, great. It feels like, build up this moment his whole life, this guy's reaching for the Maltesers in his backpack. He's like, yes. He's like, oh, we're on kiss cam. So that's got the light on me.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Bye, babe. How great. He's like, oh. Is this the drum bit? Yeah, yeah, really. The underwhelming drum bit? No, it's not underwhelming. It's not underwhelming. It's so underwhelming.
Starting point is 00:51:33 No! Are you kidding me? Unless you crank it loud, it's so underwhelming. It's as loud as it goes, too. It's coming up. Here we go. Wait, not yet. No, no.
Starting point is 00:51:42 No. Wow. Wow. Oh, Lord. No. No. No. Small man. Wow. Wow. Here we go. Oh, Lord. Oh, fuck me. No, not yet. I'm a builder.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I feel like I'm drowning. Bad joke. Man, man. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Not yet. I've only got a minute of the song left. Yeah, like three out of four minutes is not drum beat.
Starting point is 00:52:12 I'm joking. Not yet. Fucking hell. This is, yeah, very pointed. It's coming up. There's 40 seconds left. Here we go. Here we go. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Underwhelming. Oh. Yeah, and you know what's funny about that? I've got a conspiracy theory of my own. It sounds better isolated. It does. Ready? Like that.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Sounds better. When you sit through the build-up, it's not worth it. So anyway, this theory was floating around for years, this conspiracy theory. Everyone believed it. And then someone asked Phil Collins in an interview, is it true floating around for years, this conspiracy theory. Everyone believed it. And then someone asked Phil Collins in an interview, is it true? And he goes, nah.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Oh. Again, like you said, everyone just believes everything they're fucking told. He's like, no, that didn't happen. It's a great story, though. I wish it did. No, because I'm pretty sure I've read about that in the past. And it's only now that I remember.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Oh, no. No, it was a metaphor. I was drowning in debt. I think he said it was about, it's only now that I remember. Oh no. That was a metaphor. I was drowning in debt. I think he said it was about divorce or something. I can't remember. But yeah, he was like, nah,
Starting point is 00:53:30 total bullshit. Isn't it funny? People really love a fake story. They just believe all that shit. That's ridiculous. It's like, I remember when 9-11 happened, horrendous event,
Starting point is 00:53:39 but everyone was like, you know, Ian Thorpe was in that building two minutes before the planes hit. I'm like, was he? What the fuck was he doing there? He ran back in to get his camera.
Starting point is 00:53:48 And then he came back out. I'm not joking. Was he even in America? Yeah, apparently so. But he was like nowhere near it. He was in New York when it happened. But it's those stories that get dramatised. The death experience.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Ian Thorpe. Moments from disaster. He's like, I was fucking on the subway like five hours ago. He's like, I was in New York State, not New York City. Is that a wrong one? Wow, good show, everyone. And Jenna, I really am impressed with you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I honestly am. Two ideas. It's been a big week. Wow. If we were paying you, I'd pay you more this week. Thank you. Same or not. What a shame.
Starting point is 00:54:18 What a shame. Truly tragic. It's been a big week for me. Jenna, these prints, you'll upload to the Facebook group? Of course. Please do. Of course. All right, make sure you'll upload to the Facebook group. Of course. Please do. Of course. All right, make sure you follow us at Couple of Mitches as well.
Starting point is 00:54:29 TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, you know, wherever you want. Yeah, the lot. And we'll be back next week, almost getting to episode 50. This is 49, right? No, this is 48. 48, 49. Yeah, nearly there. 50th coming up, guys.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And we have a lot of exciting things planned for the end of the year, too, because it's getting to Christmas. It is getting to Christmas. I've got both of your presents already, by the way. Really? I've got yours. Do you? Yeah, and Janice's in the works.
Starting point is 00:54:52 I feel that because we've made such a fuss out of both of your birthdays this year, but mine was when we were on a production break, I feel that this year should just be Mitchell's Christmas. Okay. Let's do that. I'll give you your presents in private, but it's my Christmas this year. Should we do a Mitchell Christmas?
Starting point is 00:55:09 I reckon we never acknowledge that it's your Christmas as well. Happy Christmas, Mitchell! It's your Christmas! Alright, I'm into it. No, let's not do that. No, can we do it? Next birthday, we'll forget it happened.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Don't you dare. You can only have one or the other. You can't have Christmas and birthday. Alright, I think you've heard it. No, can we do it? I want to do it. Next birthday, we'll forget it happened. Don't you dare. Well, you can only have one or the other. You can't have Christmas and birthday. No, I don't wait for the birthday. When is it again? July? Yeah, July. 2017?
Starting point is 00:55:33 No. 21? 2017? July 21? No. 22? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:39 No. No. Yeah! God, I'm a good friend. We'll see you next week. Thanks for listening, guys. Don't forget to leave a review. We'll see you in a week's time. Bye-bye. No. Yeah. Yeah! God, I'm a good friend. We'll see you next week. Thanks for listening, guys. Don't forget to leave a review. We'll see you in a week's time.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Bye-bye. Bye. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. Welcome to AD Debrief. Hi, everyone. This is the secret segment on the end.
Starting point is 00:56:12 We pretend the show's over and then we just go rogue. Nothing's planned in this bit. We just kind of go on tangents. It's a bit loose. It's a bit embarrassing. So keep it to yourself. This is sometimes the best part of the show. Most of the time, the worst part of the show.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Very, very rarely. People seem to like it. They sort of keep listening in the hopes that they'll get something good and they never do no they never do very bad these are rash shirts as well you know i i remember my family went to cool and gatta for the first time which is in queensland in northern australia that sounds like one of your made up suburbs cool and gatta oh it does doesn't it no cool and gatta is real it's beautiful um my mum got me a rash shirt because i obviously have severe body issues i can't take my top off um even with hayden in the bedroom i'm just like do you mind if i wear It's beautiful. My mum got me a rash shirt because I obviously have severe body issues. I can't take my top off. Even with Hayden in the bedroom, I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:56:50 do you mind if I wear a woolen jacket? That's fine. Wear a rash shirt? This is why I love the merch idea. I'm like, babe, we're getting some billabongs. I'll get him a Roxy pink one. Anyway, I went to Queensland and I wore a rash shirt. It did not come off for two weeks. And then I remember taking it off and I had severe rash shirt burn around around my up like my little where the sleeves are a tan line it was horrific but i
Starting point is 00:57:11 loved it and my nipples oh my god got so chafed because the material rubs up against your little kidnips and you're in the pool in and out so they get firm and then soft and firm so then you know when your nipple gets irritated and it's the most horrendous feeling in the world i don't know if it happens to girls with the bras and stuff, but Mitch, when it rubs against your top, isn't it horrendous? Nipple rash? I don't know. I don't really wear anything that tight, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:57:31 No, but you know when you get fripples and then it rubs and rubs? Sorry. Maybe that's a me thing. Just you. Maybe I'm lactating. So do you actually prefer to wear a shirt when you're having fellatio with your homosexual male partner? No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:57:44 With me and Becky, she – no, we – I don't. to wear a shirt when you're having fellatio with your homosexual male partner no no no no with me and becky um she no we i don't but i remember before like i was sort of active or anything when i was like you know 16 17 i was like i'm gonna have to wear a shirt i'm gonna have to and then when it happens i didn't wear a shirt i'm quite happy to not wear a shirt but i actually think it's kind of hot to wear a shirt shirt and no pants yeah real winnie the pooh vibes yeah it makes it it makes it feel more spontaneous and like, oh, you know. I agree. And then the other night, you know, there were some shoes still on
Starting point is 00:58:10 and it was kind of fun. That's not cute. No, because it was like in the heat of the moment. Yeah, but you have to take off shoes. How did you get everything else off? The sort of sitting on the ankles. Oh, that's just stupid. That's just stupid.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Have some pride in your farts. Like a little boy Going to the toilet Oh my god I was at Ikea the other day Walked straight into the bathroom And there's this toddler And his dad
Starting point is 00:58:32 Standing at the base And his shirt was off And his pants were at his ankles This nude kid Just standing there That's what you would've looked like Yeah Not a good look
Starting point is 00:58:41 No It's like just fucking If you're gonna get nude Get nude No because it was in the moment It was fun Hey you forgot to mention Not a good look. No. It's like just fucking, if you're going to get nude, get nude. No, because it was in the moment. It was fun. Hey, you forgot to mention the Life Uncut Girls are on next week.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Oh. Brittany and Laura from that podcast are going to be joining us. Is it next week? I've said it now. You better make it happen. Fuck! That's a good tactic. I don't know if we can make it happen.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Because Mitch always comes up with these ideas. He's full of ideas. Great ideas. He never locks them in. This is how it's going to happen. I'm just going to say it. It's coming up next week and then you have to do it. Should I text them now and see? I thought you already asked them.
Starting point is 00:59:12 No, I did, but I haven't organised a date. Okay, but you said to them last week because they've been working with you on your radio show. Yeah, so Britt and Laura are amazing. Britt I like to call – no, Laura I like to call Mrs J because she's with Matty J. He was the bachelor in Australia. They're both former bachelor girls, but now they've got a really popular podcast.
Starting point is 00:59:30 They've been working with you on your show. You said, oh, would you like to come on my podcast? And you just kind of left it open-ended, but I'm locking it in now. They said yes, they'd love to. They're on next week. They're on next week. Can't wait for that. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:59:43 I'm excited. Oh, that's the Life Uncut girls on live tweets. We're busy. Text them. But they just tweeted us. No, text them. I don't need to. Jesus Christ. Alright. I await their response.
Starting point is 01:00:03 There you go. Jeez, that really is a nice way to get me to do shit. Yeah, like you've been saying, Zoe Marshall's keen to come on the podcast. She's keen, never gets her on. Next week I'm just going to say, Zoe Marshall's joining us, and he's like, fuck. Oh, they replied.
Starting point is 01:00:18 No. Oh. That's a shame. That's no. That was Brittany said no, then Laura just said no. The two of them. Why did they reply via email when you quite clearly messaged them? That's my shame. That's no. That was Brittany said no, then Laura just said no. The two of them. Why did they reply via email when you quite clearly messaged them? That's my text tone.
Starting point is 01:00:29 No, it's not. We actually do have a real live call. Let's take a look at what I was calling. G'day. She hung up. Don't. You don't think so? You know what?
Starting point is 01:00:39 When we went on Tony's podcast last week. One Trick Tony. Yes. That show was totally unplanned, unscripted. We kind of just went in and went on tangents. It was all conversation. Yeah. And I loved it.
Starting point is 01:00:52 That's what I want ADD Brief to be. Okay. Just random tangents. I don't want you fucking performing and pretending that there's people that are there that aren't. You sound insane. I'm doing it for your own benefit. There are actually people there. It's just every time we go to touch it,
Starting point is 01:01:05 they disappear. Oh, have you got the phone lines open? Nicole's here. Ready? Hey, who's this? Hello. This is Joe's foot massage. Would you like to book another appointment? Hold on a sec. I've got to put you on hold. I've got a phone.
Starting point is 01:01:21 What's going on? I don't want you. Hello? Hello? Who is this? It's Graham. Who's this? What's your dad's name, Graham?
Starting point is 01:01:33 Cook. Sorry? Cook. Who did I call? I have driver Mazda. No, no. Who did I call? Because I think I called the wrong number.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Oh, who are you calling? Who are you after? After a guy named your mom. What just happened? That was not set up or planned. I'm so sure. I know exactly what happened. What? Some cockhead little girl was like, let's prank call the radio station. It I'm so sure. I know exactly what happened. What?
Starting point is 01:02:08 Some cockhead little girl was like, let's prank call the radio station. It'll be so funny. And then she got stage fright. I'm fuming. It's trying to prove to you that I'm not insane. And then I got gaslit into thinking I was insane. Somebody else is calling. No, don't answer. Mitch will throw the phone at my head.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Your hair looks nice, Mitch. Thanks. So the date. Talk to us about the date. So what happened? Who was it with? Was it with the guy from the party? No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:35 No. It was some guy that I was talking to on Tinder. And we were going to go on a date, but then he remembered that he had his friend's birthday. And I was like, oh, that's very Mitchell Cherry energy, isn't it? So I'm a bit off him. I'm bleeding into your personal life. Yeah. Things reminding you of me.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Yeah, just poor organisation and also prioritising family events and shit. That's a good trait to find in someone. Jenna, I think family orientation is something – family orientation. I'm attracted to my family. Being family orientated is a big call card for you, right? Yeah. Yeah. Family's important.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Yeah. Yeah, but I'd rather them have an absent family. Really? Like my sister and her husband, for example, you know, the husband gets along with my parents, but they don't see each other all the time. You're always at some sort of family do. That's not true. Like we have like, you know, Easter, Christmas, and then they visit each other a other all the time. You're always at some sort of family do. That's not true.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Like we have like, you know, Easter, Christmas, and then they visit each other a few times a year. That's fine. I'd be down for that. If my fucking partner says, oh, do you want to come to, I don't know, Brenda Baraldine to visit my parents for the weekend, I'd be like, sure, we can do that. But if it was every weekend and every Thursday there was some Aunt Sue's brunch,
Starting point is 01:03:44 like fuck off. It's too brunch. Like, fuck off. It's too much. It's too much. You were already going to family events before you had in-laws. Now you've got another side of the family to cater to. They're Filipino. They have massive events. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:03:55 They've got the most odd foods that I feel so pressured to try. Like, Mitch, try this fish. I'm like, okay. And then it's like dried salted sardines. And Hayden's like, you don't have to do it. I'm like, no, you have to prove to your family that I'm part of the family. Horrendous. And if you actually want to be there, that's great.
Starting point is 01:04:11 But I feel like if it was me, I would end up being, feel like I was being there out of obligation, not because I actually wanted to be there, which means I wouldn't be present. My mind would be elsewhere. And I'd be like, oh my God, I feel trapped. No, I really enjoy being with my family. And so does Hayden. I'm very lucky we have. But my family's young. I've got two young sisters and all my cousins. Well, that's good. And so does Hayden. I'm very lucky we have. But my family's young.
Starting point is 01:04:25 I've got two young sisters and all my cousins are young. All our age. They're not babies anymore, so there's no kids. You know when you've got cousins that are kids and you can't really talk to them? We're all the same age. We have common interests. A lot of them listen to this podcast. Oh, good.
Starting point is 01:04:37 They love it. But I love my family. I'm not begrudging that. I just can't fucking imagine me in that scenario. True. And if my dog fell in a shit pit, I wouldn't want to return back to the family after that tragic event. I do return back to the family, and they come here. Do you think of Spot whenever you walk past the shit pit?
Starting point is 01:04:53 I don't walk past shit pits. Sorry. Isn't it on the property? Huh? The shit pit, isn't it at the house? Yeah, out the back is a septic tank. That's quite a normal thing to have at a house. Is it really?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yes. I don't know. Is it really? Yes. I don't know. People do that for us. We don't have to do anything. It does it itself. It's the system. Oh, I thought your dad had a pump tank. It's like a rainwater tank.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Oh! It just kind of does its own thing. I thought it was a good... Or a windmill. It just kind of sits there. Right. Until it needs repairing, which is why the shit pit was open. Got it.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Oh, okay. That's when it happened. He doesn't actually have to go to the shit pit and manually scoop it out or something. That's what I thought he had to do. What kind of life do you think my family lives? You think we're Amish? Give them a call. See what they're up to.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Should we call them? Yeah. Text me the number. Let's compare the pair. I'm going to ring your mum or dad, then let's ring my dad, and let's see what they're doing. Okay. Mate, I'm just on a yacht at Cronulla Harbour. Okay, here.
Starting point is 01:05:50 The home phone, that's so cute. I know. Hold on, wait a minute. Okay. Hopefully I don't get pranked again. They might be watching Mark play cricket. True. Hello?
Starting point is 01:06:09 Hi, Mum. Hi, how are you going? Yeah, good. How are you? All right, thank you. I'm here with Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Hi, Jane. Hi. Hi.
Starting point is 01:06:17 How are you? Long time no speak. I know. It has been a while, hasn't it? What have you been up to? Talk to me. What's the update? Life in where you are? Life in Bogengate, do you really want to know? Yeah, of course. Last week has not been pretty. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:06:32 We're getting ready for harvest and everything. Yeah. And prior to that, we treated our sheep so they wouldn't get fly-blown and maggoty on us during the harvest season. Yeah. Spent about $1,000 treating them. Oh, my God. Yeah, and ever since then, we've been out in the paddocks catching lambs that have got maggots.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Where are the maggots? Where do the maggots live? They're rump. In their wool, yeah. Oh, my. And they bury themselves into the sheep's skin and eat them alive, basically. Oh, my.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Yeah, so we've been chasing them around. We brought them into the shed one day and had to treat about 30 of them. That was about a week ago. What's the treatment, Jane? Is it a bullet in the head or is it you pull the maggots out? No, you just go to shear where the flies have been attacking them and put an oil on to cure all the maggots and you see them jumping out everywhere.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Yes, Ian used to ask my help with this. He used to ask me to go up the paddock and help with it. Mitch, can you help me treat some fly-blown ewes? And I'd be like, absolutely not. What about me looks like I would enjoy shearing some infected sheep's rump and then squirting the maggots that are literally coming out of its skin like honey on a crumpet. That's fucked.
Starting point is 01:07:42 All right, Jane. So it's been extremely distressing. Yeah. And we've got people coming out tomorrow, and I have to get all the stock in by myself so they can put them through a jet and treat them again. And that's costing us another $1,300. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Because the original $1,000 didn't work. It's been really distressing because we tried to do the right thing. Yeah, of course. By the stock in ourselves, and, yeah, and,000 didn't work. It's been really distressing because we tried to do the right thing. Yeah, of course. By the stocking ourselves and, yeah, and it just didn't work. Shit, busy week. Very busy, maggoty week, yes. I had one Zoom call at 3.30 on Wednesday and I'm exhausted. I can't even imagine how you're feeling.
Starting point is 01:08:18 That's rough. But the good news is my little pet lamb, Carrie, she's doing really well. Colin died, but Carrie's doing really well. She follows me around everywhere. Oh, Carrie. Oh, that really well. Colin died, but Carrie's doing really well. She follows me around everywhere. Oh, Carrie. Oh, that's cute. Yeah, she's incredibly cute. Are you going to merge Carrie back in with the herd of sheep for slaughter
Starting point is 01:08:35 or are you going to spare her that? She is actually going to be one of our breeding ewes, so she's going to give me more babies hopefully down the track. Oh, you'll have to send us some photos, Jane, and we'll put it up on the podcast Instagram. People would love to see Carrie. Yeah, she's very cute. Send us a photo of Carrie. Yeah, please do. You need a video of her following Ian around everywhere too.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Oh, that'd be cute. Is she named after Carrie Bickmore from the project on Wynn or whatever network? No, I just like the name. Yeah, that's a cute name. Unfortunately, Colin didn't make it, so I cried that day. What happened to Colin? He just never fed well right from the start,
Starting point is 01:09:11 and so I think when he was born he just must have had something wrong with him. Colin is a sheep, just to clear this up. Colin was abandoned by his mother, and in that case, when the potty lambs have no mums feeding them, that's when Jane steps in with a bottle of lamb milk. Yeah, and I bottle-fed Colin for two weeks weeks and I thought he was going to be okay. Oh, Colin. And then I said, I'm not going to cry, but I always do.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Oh, Jane. It's very sad. You've got Carrie, though. You've got Carrie. I have, and she's, yeah, very cute. She thinks she's a dog, but that's okay. That's fine. Oh, that's so cute.
Starting point is 01:09:42 So does Jenna, but we put up with her. Yeah. Jenna's our little Carrie. We have to clean the dags off her as well. Hopefully no maggots though. No, no, no maggots. She's very well kept. Very well kept.
Starting point is 01:09:54 All right, Jane, well, it was great to chat. Much love. Thank you for the update. That's okay. Thanks for asking. No, we just wanted to see how you were, how you were doing. Mitch just said out of the blue, let's call mum and see what she's up to. The story about our dog John dying in the septic tank has really knocked Mitchell round
Starting point is 01:10:09 and he misinterpreted it. He thought that all of our shit, when you flushed, went into a tank that Ian then had to manually clean out and empty. I said, no, the septic tank, you just set and forget, you know. But on this occasion, he had to fix it or something. I made that quite clear. We're not animals that have to shovel our own shit out of the toilet. And so that's how it works, right?
Starting point is 01:10:31 How does a septic tank work? Well, there's a submergible pump down in the septic tank. And so when it gets to a certain level, it just pumps it out under our pine trees. And there's beautiful green grass there all the time. Oh, I'm sure there is. You know, a fair way from the house. Yeah, you'd hope so. Oh, I thought you were living like a Maori camper van life
Starting point is 01:10:51 and you had to pull out the container with the poo in it and empty it and throw it in the toilet paper. Good to know. All right. Say bye to your mum, Mitch. Bye, Mum. Thanks. Bye, my darling.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Bye, Jane. See you, Jane. See you. Hooroo. Hooroo. Oh, cut her off. Isn't she beautiful? Oh, I love her.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Now let's jump straight over to the Shire and compare the pair. That's Michelle Turi, my beautiful mother. I hope we get a voicemail. It's very funny. Ironically. Hello, Michelle speaking. Hi, it's me. Oh, hi.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Sorry, I don't normally take no caller ID, so you're very lucky. Sorry, you probably thought it was Nan at the nursing home. No, she's sitting right here. Oh, hi, Nan. Hello, hello, Nan, Mitchell said. Hello, Mitch. Well, I'm good. What are you guys doing? Are you at home or are you at Nan's? No, I'm at home. I brought Nan down just to have some lunch. Oh, so having a nice little Saturday lunch. Yeah, yeah. She's only allowed to be out until 2 o'clock, so I said I'd walk her down, which she did.
Starting point is 01:11:52 We walked, looked at all the lovely jacarandas on the way. Oh, peaceful. Yeah, and Nan was having a nice bread roll. Yum. Put Nan on. Can I say hi? He wants to say hello to you, Master. Sounds like a lovely walk, doesn't it?
Starting point is 01:12:02 I don't think she pointed any maggots today. Hello, Mitchell. Oh, a lovely walk, doesn't it? I don't think she pointed any maggots today. Hello, Mitchell. Hello, Nan. It's me. How are you going? How are you, you old nut? Better for listening to you. I agree.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Oh, Nan. You feeling good? Oh, you know what? Wouldn't be dead for quid. Amen. I couldn't agree more. Bloody hell. What are you eating?
Starting point is 01:12:27 What's on your sandwich? Oh, avocado, ham, tomatoes. Oh, keep going, keep going. And you haven't had to pick any maggots out of any sheep today or anything? No, not today. Good. Not tomorrow either, I hope. All right. Pop mum back on. I'll have a quick chat. All right. Love. Not tomorrow either, I hope. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Pop mum back on. I'll have a quick chat. All right. Love you. Love you, man. Talk soon. See you. Champagne taste on a B budget.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Yeah. Everyone talks. Hello. Oh, you're all talking in the background. Sounds like Nen's at the bloody game zone or something. Are you still coming over this afternoon? Yes. Still happy for us two. You're more than welcome. I'm pretty, don't think Becky's.
Starting point is 01:13:10 She's hung over and she had the girls over. Of course she did. Have a big old busy night. Yeah, and we didn't give her enough notice. That's fair enough. Of course, yeah, fair. You can catch up with her. Alright, well I tried to get on to Dad too, but tell him I said hi.
Starting point is 01:13:25 Alright, I'll put him on. Hang on. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's fine. You can catch up with her. All right. Well, I tried to get on to Dad too, but tell him I said hi. All right. I'll put him on. Hang on. Oh, okay. All right. Bye. Mitchell was ringing. That was Mitchell that was ringing you.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Hello, my son. Hello. How are you, Dad? I'm all right, buddy. What's happening? Just seeing what you were up to today. Did you go for a walk or? Oh.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Can I ask him? I'm sorry. Mitchell's just. Okay. Sorry, Mitch. What's happening? It's a kaleidoscope of conversations. Yes. With Nan Okay. Sorry, Mitch. What's happening? It's a kaleidoscope of conversation. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:47 With Nan here. It's gorgeous. She's sitting in. She's looking so beautiful. Yeah. She said to me she doesn't laugh so hard in a year. Aww. I know.
Starting point is 01:13:56 I called her an old nut. She loved it. Yeah. Yeah, I know. So what am I doing? Mate, I'm... Yeah, well, we're coming over. Is it 4.30?
Starting point is 01:14:04 Yeah, well, you're leaving yours at 4.30. Yeah, okay. So we'll get to you about 5.15. Yeah. And then what? We're walking for an hour, are we? Yeah, we're going to do the Bay Run walk. Then we'll go get food at Tram Sheds or something.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Okay, so it's okay if I wear my walking gear? Yeah, wear your walking gear. Okay, cool. I'll tell H I'll bring a nice bottle of red. Yeah, nice. Yes, Mitchell said wear your walking gear. Yes, Michelle. Did you go on a walk this morning?
Starting point is 01:14:28 I need him to bring them home. Oh, this is too chaotic. Michelle, this is what Mitchell does not enjoy, cross-functional phone calls. But please tell me. Go, Michelle. Could Mitchell please bring home three headshots? Okay, could you please bring home three headshots? Specifically, three. What for? Is mum putting me out for auditions? Great question. home three headshots okay could you please bring home three headshots specifically three what for
Starting point is 01:14:46 is mum putting me out for auditions great question i'll just let me just pass that three-way question back michelle um are you putting them up for auditions no no i'm handing them out to fans she's handing them out to fans so she wants my who is she giving my headshots to his mother and one josephine from the coffee shop one's Josephine from the coffee shop. Josephine from the coffee shop. So did you just want to touch base, connect? I was just saying hi. I was just seeing if you were on track for this afternoon
Starting point is 01:15:13 because you're always fucking late. Let me tell you. I'm going to tell you this, right? And I'm going to tell you with love. Yes. I do my best to support your mum. I know. But when it comes to time management, I've decided that I have to just be...
Starting point is 01:15:25 We'll let that one go. You'll let that... Yeah. I'll see you to be somewhere. No, he just wants to make sure we're on time. If he needs to, take a rain check. If he needs to... Now she's doing what she does best.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Mitch, let's take a rain check. I don't need to cancel. I never even mentioned it. I know that, but that's what your mum does best. She's fabricating it. I know she fabricates it. Look, if Mitch needs a rain check, we'll check it. Nothing needs to be checked.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Nothing needs to be checked. Maybe a welfare check on you lot. Jesus. Mitch will reckon it's a welfare check. I reckon he's frigging spot on. We've been fighting all morning, Mum and I. I'm sure. It happens to the best of us.
Starting point is 01:16:03 It's about three townhouses and two. Oh, the development of property. Are you going to develop the property? Yeah, I'll talk to you about it tonight. Yeah, we'll talk. Alright, I've got to go. Love ya. Good chat. See you around. Bye, Nancy. Bye-bye. Well, from D. Magganing Sheep. There's my mum mourning the loss
Starting point is 01:16:19 of her beloved Colin and then there's your mum swanning around the jacaranda trees, having a nice red by the bay, very insensitive to use the word rain check so many times, up against my drought-stricken parents. Call this number. Who is this? How very dare you.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Is this your dad? My great uncle in Dubbo. Okay. Let's compare the pair. You have to do the talking, Jenna. Yeah. What's his name? Mr. Wilson is what I call him.
Starting point is 01:16:50 The private number scares people, I think. It's a home number. Who do we fucking call it? Jenna's great uncle, Derek. Oh, he might be at the South Dubbo Tavern. Pretend you're one of Jenna's contiki fucks trying to track her down. No. Are you related to Jenna?
Starting point is 01:17:07 Yeah. Because a wild night when they're in Europe. Turn Jenna's mic off. No, don't do that. He's at the tavern. I would never. He's up at the tavern. He wouldn't answer that now.
Starting point is 01:17:19 Well. He's probably with my dad at the tavern. What a juxtaposition, though. I know. That is the perfect example of how my family act. Constant chaos. No wonder I can never tie anything down, because that's how I'm wired.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Also, my dad always constantly trying to find the moral in things. I know, he does do that. He does it all the time. I just love that my parents are there, you know. Oh, we're fucking 2.3 grand out of pocket, because we tried to drench our maggot infested livestock and it didn't work. So now we've been screwed over.
Starting point is 01:17:51 And there's your parents having a fight because what are we going to do with our development property? Oh, I've got coffee with Josephine. Mark, don't bother me now. That's what your mother does. Bring a headshot. Bring a headshot. Who fought? Me, your grandmother and who from the coffee shop?
Starting point is 01:18:09 Josephine. Josephine from the coffee shop. My mum hasn't got time to be handing out bloody headshots, does she? No, she really doesn't. She's raising lambs by hand. I can't believe she does that. I know. I admire your mum.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And little Carrie. Little Carrie. Named after Carrie Bickmore? No. Just like the name. Don't little Carrie. Little Carrie. Named after Carrie Bigmore? No. Just like the name. Just like the name. Don't be ridiculous. I know.
Starting point is 01:18:29 That leftist. Oh, God. Lefty nut. No, she's not like that. No, she definitely isn't. I think your parents are probably more like that. No, they're actually not. I mean, your father, for one, hates me.
Starting point is 01:18:41 He does not hate you. He does. So does Uncle Ross. He wants me dead. Uncle Ross likes you as a person, but hates that I don't have someone that sits on this podcast that just sits there and laughs at me. You do.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Her name's Jenna. True. I don't think he got that far. I did one of those episodes that we obviously scared Jenna off and she was very quiet. He literally has said time and time again, that podcast is great, mate, but you need to get rid of that Mitchell Coombs. You need a straight woman to sit there and laugh at you.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Okay. Listen to the next episode. Yeah. Meanwhile, your father is like, he didn't even say, oh, that Mitchell Coombs, he said to me, he meant it as a compliment, you've started to grow on me. I was like, started? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Like I'm still not there yet. Like a what? He says that to me all the time. He's like, nah, I saw that. He'll see your video and he'll be like, that was very funny. He's just like, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He voted no when he had a gay son. I don't think he knew at the time, did he?
Starting point is 01:19:36 No, he didn't know at the time. He also voted no because he was raised Catholic. I said, when were you last in the church? He said, my baptism. Serious conversation. That's like 12 years old or something. No, wait, no. You mean the one in the baby. He said, my baptism. Serious conversation. That's like 12 years old or something. No, you mean the one in the baby. At birth, he's 60. He just turned
Starting point is 01:19:50 60. It's ridiculous. He had 60th for me. I know, and they're coming over tonight for a walk. We're walking the Bay Run and getting food together. I like hanging out with my family. We have a fun family. My sister can't come. No, Becky couldn't come. You heard that conversation.
Starting point is 01:20:05 I was very surprised by how different your sisters are to you. I've only met one of them, not Becky. You've met little Rachie. Yeah. And because I was like, oh God, she's a cheery. I was praising myself for someone who was just too much. But I was like, oh, you're delightful. You're not like your brother at all. Rachel is beautiful. She's my favourite person
Starting point is 01:20:22 in the world. Yes, she's very reserved. Like a good, calm level of human being, unlike you, who's like, ho-ho, how are you? Like, I was bracing myself for that. I was like, oh, this interaction's going to fucking drain me. But she was on my wavelength. Have you met Becky, though? No.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Should we call Becky and see what she did last night? Mum said she had a bit of a... Yeah, yeah. I feel like we should go. Come on, real quick. I really want to know what she's been up to. Also, the sad thing is I know all my siblings' numbers off by heart. Oh.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Becky's a cop, so she's used to no caller ID, so she should answer. We should give her a call. Hello? Hi, it's me. Hi. Are you coming tonight or no? No. Why?
Starting point is 01:20:59 I was just telling Mum that I organised with the girls to see them earlier in the week. Didn't you get lit last night? Why do you have to do it again? No, I don't get lit. They're coming over with cheese and wine to cut you off. Sounds fine. I saw your buddies at Snapchat last night. You were going to poke someone's eye out with that fucking cigarette.
Starting point is 01:21:14 I only put it in for the picture. I wasn't actually smoking it. Oh, bullshit! You lit a cigarette for the picture. No, like it was my friend. That's what I put in my mouth for the picture. No, like it was my friend, but I put it in my mouth for the picture. You're not 16. No, literally, that's what I do.
Starting point is 01:21:31 Yeah, okay. Good chat. What are you doing? Your voice sounds nice. No, I'm at work. I called off the studio phone. It's just easier. Cool, yeah. Mum only told me about dinner two hours ago.
Starting point is 01:21:42 Yeah, that's fine. Don't bother. It's just going to be a walk of food. Bloody lastminute.com over here. Yeah, I know. I can hear everyone yelling It's just going to be a walk of food. Yeah, I know. I can hear everyone yelling in the background. What the fuck is happening? Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Back on the townhouse chat. Jesus Christ. All right. Good chat. I'll talk to you soon. Your voice sounds husky. What happened last night? I think you did. You don't have to put the next two days off if you're around. Your voice sounds husky. What happened last night? Maybe it was a skirt. I think you did.
Starting point is 01:22:08 You don't have to lie. I'm not mum. Lisa had it and I just put it in my fingers for the photo. Stupid. All right, bye. Talk soon. Oh, bye. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:23 The two townhouses. God, that's a real talk of the town, isn't it? I haven't had the first time hearing of it. It definitely is. Yeah. We're just leaning back. We'll see you next week. Enduring Idiots is the secret Facebook group.
Starting point is 01:22:34 We put little behind the scenes vids, clips, pics, prizes up on the page if you want to join it. Now, it's Endurant, as in like if you were to endure a shit movie. Yes. It's Endurant. A lot of people don't were to endure a shit movie, it's Endurant. A lot of people don't know how to spell it, don't know what the word is. Correct. So head along and join the group.
Starting point is 01:22:50 We'll see you there. Don't forget Life Uncut Girls, Brittany Hockley and Laura Burner on next week. They replied! They replied! They replied! Oh, really? You can read it. I don't want to read it.
Starting point is 01:22:57 Okay. Of course! Let us know when you're thinking. There you go. Yay! Brittany and Laura from Life Uncut on next week, tentatively. No. Lock it in.
Starting point is 01:23:09 Locked and loaded next week. All right. We'll catch you then, guys. See ya. See ya. Bye.
